[0023] Example 1

[0024] As shown in Figure 1 and 2 , the hub structure for a three-wheeled tractor of the present embodiment includes a hub shaft 1, a cylindrical bearing seat 2, two groups of tapered bearings 3 and an adjusting lock nut 4. The bearing seat 2 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the hub shaft 1, the outer rings of the two groups of tapered bearings 3 are respectively coaxially fixed to the inner walls of the two ends of the bearing seat 2, and the inner rings are respectively installed on the two ends of the hub shaft 1. One end of the bearing seat 2 is provided with a circular ring-shaped first end cover 21, the first end cover 21 is rotationally sealed and assembled with the corresponding end of the hub shaft 1. One end of the bearing seat 2 is provided with a circular ring-shaped second end cover 22, the adjusting lock nut 4 is threadedly screwed onto the other end of the hub shaft 1, coaxially passes through the second end cover 22, and abuts against the inner ring of the tapered bearing 3 at the corresponding end. The adjusting lock nut 4 is rotationally sealed and assembled with the second end cover 22. The side wall of the bearing seat 2 is provided with an oil nozzle 23 corresponding to the position of the two groups of tapered bearings 3.

[0025] The hub structure of the three-wheeled tractor of the present embodiment injects lubricating grease into the bearing seat 2 through the oil nozzle 23 to lubricate the tapered bearings 3 located at the two ends of the hub shaft 1. When the grease is injected, the grease can fully fill the tapered bearings 3, ensuring the lubrication effect of the tapered bearings 3. After the hub assembly is installed, the clearance of the tapered bearings 3 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting lock nut 4. When adjusted to the appropriate position, the adjusting lock nut 4 can be locked to ensure that the clearance between the inner and outer rings of the tapered bearings 3 remains stable, thereby better improving the service life of the tapered bearings 3 and ensuring the free rolling of the hub. When the clearance of the tapered bearings 3 needs to be adjusted again, the bearing cover (first end cover 21 and second end cover 22) does not need to be disassembled. First, the locking state of the adjusting lock nut 4 is released, and then the adjusting lock nut 4 is rotated to detect whether the bearing clearance is within the required range, greatly saving the bearing clearance adjustment time and reducing the risk of contamination in the hub cavity. Overall, the structure is simple and reasonable, the bearing clearance adjustment method is optimized, the load carrying capacity of the front wheel hub of the three-wheeled tractor is improved, and the lubrication performance and sealing performance of the hub bearing and the assembly are optimized.

[0026] In the embodiment, a plurality of bolts 5 are arranged in the outer edge of the first end cover 21 and the second end cover 22 in a circumferential direction at uniform intervals, and the bolts 5 are threadedly connected with the screw holes matched with the end portions of the bearing seat 2. More specifically, the through holes are arranged in the outer edge of the first end cover 21 and the second end cover 22 in a circumferential direction at uniform intervals, and a plurality of bolt holes (screw holes) are arranged in the end portions of the bearing seat 2 in a circumferential direction at uniform intervals, and the bolts 5 passing through the through holes of the first end cover 21 and the second end cover 22 are threadedly connected with the bolt holes in the end portions of the bearing seat 2. In the embodiment, the outer edge of the first end cover 21 and the second end cover 22 on the side close to each other is provided with a stepped recess, and the end portions of the bearing seat 2 are embedded in the stepped recess, which can improve the sealing performance of the assembly to a certain extent, and the sealing ring can be arranged between the two to further improve the sealing performance.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the hub shaft 1 is coaxially provided with a circular annular shoulder 11 at one end, the inner ring of the first end cover 21 is in contact with the shoulder 11, the first oil seal 61 is embedded in the inner ring of the first end cover 21 and is in sealing contact with the shoulder 11, the end portion of the inner ring of the tapered bearing 3 at one end of the hub shaft 1 abuts against the shoulder 11, and the second oil seal 62 is embedded in the inner ring of the second end cover 22 and is in sealing contact with the adjusting lock nut 4.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the shoulder 11 ensures good assembly between the first end cover 21 and the end of the hub shaft 1, and the first oil seal 61 and the second oil seal 62 ensure the rotary sealing assembly between the first end cover 21 and the shoulder 11 and between the second end cover 22 and the adjusting lock nut 4.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the middle section of the side wall of the bearing seat 2 is provided with a pressure relief port, and the pressure relief port is provided with a deflation screw 24.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the cavity is defined between the two groups of tapered bearings 3 in the bearing seat 2, and when the lubricating grease is injected into the oil nozzle 23, the deflation screw 24 is loosened first, so that the pressure in the hub cavity can be smoothly discharged after the lubricating grease is injected.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the bearing seat 2 is coaxially provided with a convex ring 25 at both ends, and the two groups of tapered bearings 3 are arranged at the ends away from each other of the two convex rings 25, and the outer rings of the two groups of tapered bearings 3 abut against the two convex rings 25 correspondingly.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the convex ring 25 can position the tapered bearings 3, and at the same time, the convex ring 25 can limit the outer rings of the tapered bearings 3, which is beneficial to the adjustment of the bearing clearance.

[0033] In this embodiment, the outer ring of each of the two sets of tapered bearings 3 defines a first oil injection cavity and a second oil injection cavity with the first end cover 21 and the second end cover 22 respectively, and the oil nozzle 23 is arranged at the position of the first oil injection cavity and the second oil injection cavity respectively. When the oil is injected through the two oil nozzles 23, the oil enters the first oil injection cavity and the second oil injection cavity respectively, and then passes through the tapered bearings 3 to enter the cavity in the middle section of the bearing seat 2, thereby fully lubricating the tapered bearings 3.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the adjusting lock nut 4 comprises a circular nut body 41, one end of the nut body 41 is provided with an adjusting disc face 411 with a larger diameter than the nut body 41, and the other end of the nut body 41 is provided with an extension 412 in the form of a cylinder, and the extension 412 of the nut body 41 abuts against the inner ring of the tapered bearing 3 at the corresponding end.

[0036] In this embodiment, a step with a smaller diameter than the main body is arranged at one end of the hub shaft 1, and the adjusting lock nut 4 is arranged at the step.

[0037] In this embodiment, a fork arm is fixed to one end of the hub shaft 1, and a locking structure for locking the adjusting disc face 411 is arranged on the fork arm. The locking structure can lock the adjusting lock nut 4 after adjusting the gap to avoid interference with the bearing gap due to rotation of the adjusting lock nut 4 under external force.

[0038] In this embodiment, the outer edge of the adjusting disc face 411 is circumferentially spaced apart by a plurality of square grooves 4111, and the locking structure is a locking screw that is screwed onto the fork arm. The locking screw can be screwed into a corresponding one of the square grooves 4111 in the current position or out of the square grooves 4111. When the gap of the tapered bearing 3 needs to be adjusted again, the bearing end cover does not need to be disassembled, the locking screw is first taken out of the square groove 4111 of the adjusting lock nut 4, and then the adjusting lock nut 4 is rotated to detect whether the bearing gap is within the required range, thereby greatly saving the bearing gap adjustment time and reducing the risk of contamination in the hub cavity. After adjustment, the locking screw is inserted into a corresponding one of the square grooves 4111, which is very quick and simple to operate.
