DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.
[0029] A multi-dimensional matrix spiritual track wheel, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a wheel frame 1 and a roller 2. The roller 2 is made of high-strength engineering plastic and is not easy to age or deform. The center of the wheel frame 1 has a center hole 3 for installation and connection. The roller 2 has multiple holes and is evenly distributed around the circumference of the wheel frame 1. An installation groove 4 for installing the roller 2 is opened on the outer periphery of the wheel frame 1. The installation groove 4 is set one-to-one with the roller 2. The center of the roller 2 has a rotating shaft 5. Both ends of the rotating shaft 5 pass through the roller 2. The wheel frame 1 forms a mounting portion 6 between two adjacent mounting grooves 4. The outer side of the mounting portion 6 has a limiting groove body 7 for the end of the rotating shaft 5 to be placed and installed, and a cover body 8 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 6. The cover body 8 is used to install the rotating shaft 5 to prevent it from escaping from the limiting groove body 7, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the roller 2.
[0030] The roller 2 adopts the installation method of the above structure. Each roller 2 can be disassembled independently relative to the wheel frame 1. When a single roller 2 is damaged, it only needs to be replaced individually. The multi-dimensional matrix spirit track wheel can be used continuously, effectively reducing the waste of unnecessary overall disposal, and the entire disassembly and assembly operation is simple, convenient and fast.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, corresponding threaded holes are provided on the cover body 8 and the mounting portion 6, and the cover body 8 is installed and fixed by passing the standard assembly bolts 9 through the threaded holes. When the roller 2 needs to be disassembled and replaced, it is only necessary to disassemble the cover body 8 at both ends of the rotating shaft 5 on the roller 2. In addition, the bottom wall of the cover body 8 has a recessed assembly groove 10 for the end of the rotating shaft 5 to be embedded. The recessed assembly groove 10 is adapted to the part of the protruding limiting groove body 7 at the end of the rotating shaft 5, so as to ensure that the cover body 8 can be flatly covered on the wheel frame 1. At the same time, the rotating shaft 5 is located in the recessed assembly groove 10 with better stability and is less likely to be offset in position. In addition, the end of the standard assembly bolt 9 is more biased towards the inside of the center of the circle than the outer wall of the adjacent roller 2. In actual use, only the roller 2 contacts the outside world, and the standard assembly bolt 9 will not contact the outside world.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer diameter of the roller 2 gradually decreases from the middle to the two ends, which can better reduce the friction resistance of movement while ensuring the support force strength when the wheel body moves, so that the outer wall of the roller 2 forms a circular arc. After the roller 2 is installed on the wheel frame 1, the curvature of the outer wall of the roller 2 is consistent with the curvature of the outer wall of the wheel frame 1 to form a complete circle. In addition, an annular groove 11 is opened on the outer periphery of the roller 2, and the annular grooves 11 are evenly and equally spaced along the axial direction of the roller 2. The design of the annular grooves 11 is used to reduce friction resistance and ultimately improve the use effect of the multi-dimensional matrix spirit track wheel.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 4 is an arc surface concave toward the center of the circle. There is a distance between the bottom wall of the mounting groove 4 and the roller 2, and a spacing groove 12 is formed. The design of the spacing groove 12 reserves a larger space for the installation of the roller 2 to avoid interference and jamming between the roller 2 and the wheel frame 1. On the other hand, the spacing groove 12 can also play a role in discharging foreign particles. In actual use, foreign particles on the wheel frame 1 can be discharged through the spacing groove 12 to avoid foreign particles being stuck inside and affecting the smooth rotation of the roller 2; the end face of the wheel frame 1 has a chamfered portion 13 corresponding to the spacing groove 12, and the chamfered portion 13 is inclined toward the spacing groove 12, eliminating sharp edges while facilitating the discharge of foreign particles.
[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the wheel frame 1 includes a first frame body 14 and a second frame body 15 that are spliced and fixed to each other. The first frame body 14 and the second frame body 15 are connected and fixed by installing bolts to achieve detachableness. The first frame body 14 and the second frame body 15 can be independently manufactured and then assembled, which effectively reduces the production difficulty and cost; the outer periphery of the first frame body 14 and the second frame body 15 has an installation groove 4 and a roller 2, and the position of the roller 2 on the first frame body 14 and the position of the roller 2 on the second frame body 15 are staggered on the circumference, so that the overall width of the wheel frame 1 is larger, and the interval between adjacent rollers 2 on the first frame body 14 can be supported by the rollers 2 on the adjacent second frame body 15. The number of rollers 2 on the multi-dimensional matrix spirit track wheel is more and has better support, and the multi-dimensional matrix spirit track wheel has better smoothness in use.
[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, hollow grooves 16 are provided inside the first frame 14 and the second frame 15. While ensuring the structural strength of the wheel body, the reinforcing rib structure designed based on the consideration of lightweight wheel body is hollowed out, and multiple hollow grooves 16 are evenly distributed around the circumference, and reinforcing ribs 17 are formed between adjacent hollow grooves 16. While maintaining the overall structural strength of the frame, the production material cost and weight are effectively reduced, making the overall weight of the multi-dimensional matrix spirit track wheel lighter.
[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, mounting holes 18 for mounting bolts to pass through are provided on the first frame 14 and the second frame 15, and multiple mounting holes 18 are evenly distributed around the circumference, and mounting posts 19 for mounting bolts to pass through and connect are provided at the corresponding mounting holes 18 inside the first frame 14 and the second frame 15. The mounting holes 18 pass through the mounting posts 19, and the mounting bolts are threadedly connected in the mounting holes 18. With the help of the design of the mounting posts 19, the length of the threaded connection of the mounting bolts is effectively lengthened, thereby effectively improving the installation firmness of the mounting bolts, thereby achieving the firmness of the combination of the first frame 14 and the second frame 15. In addition, the mounting posts 19 on the first frame 14 are integrally arranged with the reinforcing ribs 17 to further strengthen the structural strength of the reinforcing ribs 17.
[0037] The multi-dimensional matrix spirit track wheel of this embodiment has multiple movement directions when used in practice, and the matrix arrangement is flexible, with the advantages of stability and high efficiency.
[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
