[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings for the embodiments of the present application to make a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0025] The steering of the articulated loader is achieved by a pair of oil cylinders connected to the front and rear frames to push the front and rear frames to rotate relatively around the steering hinge. Since the relative rotation angle of the front and rear frames is large, the turning radius of the articulated vehicle is small, the maneuverability is flexible, and the productivity is high. The performance of the steering hinge will directly affect the flexibility and reliability of the loader steering, and the bearing in the steering hinge is a key component.

[0026] In the related art, the bearing in the steering hinge adopts a joint bearing or a tapered roller bearing, but the friction coefficient of the joint bearing is large, the structure of the tapered roller bearing is complex, and the machining precision requirement of the seat hole is high, so it is necessary to further improve the bearing.

[0027] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the present application provides a frame hinge device, in which the first connecting part is fixed to the front frame, the second connecting part is fixed to the rear frame, the first connecting part is formed with a mounting hole, the pin shaft part is rotatably provided in the mounting hole, and the pin shaft part is fixed to the second connecting part. Thus, at least one set of bearings is arranged between the front frame, the pin shaft part and the rotating hole of the first connecting part, and the bearing adopts a self-aligning roller bearing. Compared with the joint bearing scheme, the self-aligning roller bearing of the present embodiment has the advantages of smaller friction coefficient, less wear and longer service life. Compared with the tapered roller bearing scheme, the self-aligning roller bearing of the present embodiment has relatively low installation requirements and can adapt to relatively rough frame connection working conditions.

[0028] The following will be combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 to describe the content of the present application in detail, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly and specifically understand the content of the present application.

[0029] The present application provides a frame hinge device for hinge connecting a front frame 10 and a rear frame 20. The frame hinge device can include a first connecting part 100, a second connecting part 200, a pin shaft part 300 and at least one set of self-aligning roller bearings 400.

[0030] The first connecting part 100 is used for fixing to the front frame 10, and the first connecting part 100 is formed with a mounting hole 110. The second connecting part 200 is used for fixing to the rear frame 20. The pin shaft part 300 is fixed with the second connecting part 200, the pin shaft part 300 is rotatably arranged in the mounting hole 110, and the pin shaft part 300 is fixed with the second connecting part 200. The self-aligning roller bearing 400 is arranged in the mounting hole 110, and the inner ring of each set of self-aligning roller bearings 400 is sleeved and fixed on the outer wall of the pin shaft part 300, and the outer ring of each set of self-aligning roller bearings 400 is fixed on the inner wall of the mounting hole 110.

[0031] In the embodiment, the first connecting part 100 can be integrally formed on or fixed on the front frame 10 by a fastener. The second connecting part 200 can be integrally formed on or fixed on the rear frame 20 by a fastener.

[0032] The first connecting part 100 is formed with a mounting hole 110, the pin shaft part 300 is rotatably arranged in the mounting hole 110, and the pin shaft part 300 is fixed with the second connecting part 200, so that when the front frame 10 and the rear frame 20 are found to rotate relative to each other, the pin shaft part 300 can rotate relative to the first connecting part 100.

[0033] At least one set of bearings is arranged between the pin shaft part 300 and the rotating hole of the first connecting part 100 to realize the rotary support of the pin shaft part 300. Specifically, the inner ring of the bearing is sleeved and fixed on the outer wall of the pin shaft part 300, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixed on the inner wall of the rotating hole, so that when the pin shaft part 300 rotates relative to the first connecting part 100, the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing rotate relative to each other, realizing the rotary support of the pin shaft part 300 and the first connecting part 100.

[0034] In the embodiment, the bearing adopts the self-aligning roller bearing 400. The self-aligning roller bearing 400 has double-row rollers, the outer ring has one shared spherical roller way, and the inner ring has two ways and is inclined at an angle relative to the bearing axis. This structure makes it have the automatic self-aligning performance, so it is not easy to be affected by the angle error of the shaft and the bearing box seat or the shaft bending, and is suitable for the occasion where the installation error or the shaft bending causes the angle error. The bearing can not only bear the radial load, but also bear the bidirectional axial load.

[0035] In the engineering machinery (for example, the articulated loader), the front frame 10 and the rear frame 20 inevitably have a large relative rotation angle, the working road surface is uneven, and the load randomness is large, so the use of the self-aligning roller bearing 400 not only can effectively and timely bear the load from the radial direction and the bidirectional axial direction, but also can realize the automatic self-alignment, overcome the influence of the harsh work on the bearing, and better adapt to the working conditions of the loader.

[0036] In addition, for the scheme of adopting the joint bearing, since the joint bearing belongs to the non-liquid sliding bearing, the friction coefficient is large, the friction coefficient in the stable wear stage can reach between 0.05 to 0.1, the resistance torque is large when the inner and outer rings of the bearing rotate, in addition, the lubricating grease is easily squeezed out from both ends of the bearing, the bearing wears seriously, and the service life is short. In the embodiment, the friction coefficient of the self-aligning roller bearing 400 is generally between 0.005 to 0.01, and the lubrication is liquid, and the wear is small. Therefore, compared with the scheme of adopting the joint bearing, the embodiment has the advantages of smaller friction coefficient, smaller wear, longer service life and the like.

[0037] In addition, for the scheme of adopting the joint bearing, since the joint bearing belongs to the non-liquid sliding bearing, the friction coefficient is large, the friction coefficient in the stable wear stage can reach between 0.05 to 0.1, the resistance torque is large when the inner and outer rings of the bearing rotate, in addition, the lubricating grease is easily squeezed out from both ends of the bearing, the bearing wears seriously, and the service life is short. In the embodiment, the friction coefficient of the self-aligning roller bearing 400 is generally between 0.005 to 0.01, and the lubrication is liquid, and the wear is small. Therefore, compared with the scheme of adopting the joint bearing, the embodiment has the advantages of smaller friction coefficient, smaller wear, longer service life and the like.

[0038] Further, in the embodiment, since the mounting hole 110 is formed in the first connecting part 100, the pin shaft part 300 is rotatably penetrated in the mounting hole 110, and the self-aligning roller bearing 400 is arranged in the mounting hole 110, therefore, the first connecting part 100 can undertake part of the function of the bearing seat, which simplifies the structure of the bearing seat, reduces the number of parts, and shortens the size of the bolt 620 for fastening the bearing seat.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first connecting part 100 can be further provided with an oil injection channel 140 for injecting lubricating oil into the mounting hole 110. A grease nipple 150 can be arranged at the port of the oil injection channel 140 to be connected with an oil gun.

[0040] In some embodiments, the self-aligning roller bearings 400 are arranged in two groups, and the two groups of self-aligning roller bearings 400 are arranged in the axial direction of the pin shaft part 300; and the frame hinging device can further include a spacer sleeve 500 arranged in the mounting hole 110 and located between the two groups of self-aligning roller bearings 400 to separate the two groups of self-aligning roller bearings 400.

[0041] In the embodiment, the two groups of self-aligning roller bearings 400 are arranged in the axial direction of the pin shaft part 300, and the two groups of self-aligning roller bearings 400 respectively rotate to support the first connecting part 100 and the pin shaft part 300 in the axial direction of the pin shaft part 300, thereby improving the support effect.

[0042] The spacer sleeve 500 is arranged between the two groups of self-aligning roller bearings 400 to separate the two groups of self-aligning roller bearings 400, thereby avoiding interference between the two groups of self-aligning roller bearings 400. Specifically, the spacer sleeve 500 is sleeved and fastened on the pin shaft part 300, and in the axial direction of the pin shaft part 300, the two ends of the spacer sleeve 500 respectively abut against the inner rings of the two groups of self-aligning roller bearings 400, thereby avoiding the influence of the spacer sleeve 500 on the relative rotation of the inner ring and the outer ring.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second connecting part 200 comprises an upper connecting plate 210 and a lower connecting plate 220, and the upper connecting plate 210 is spaced apart from the lower connecting plate 220. The pin shaft part 300 is arranged through the upper connecting plate 210 and the lower connecting plate 220. The first connecting part 100 is arranged between the upper connecting plate 210 and the lower connecting plate 220.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the pin shaft part 300 is arranged through the upper connecting plate 210 and the lower connecting plate 220, and is fixed between the upper connecting plate 210 and the lower connecting plate 220, which further improves the stability of the pin shaft part 300 and the second connecting part 200. In addition, the first connecting part 100 is arranged between the upper connecting plate 210 and the lower connecting plate 220, which improves the balance of the pin shaft part 300 in the axial direction and improves the stability of the pin shaft part 300.

[0045] Further, the frame hinge device can further comprise a bearing cover 600 and a first sealing part 610. The bearing cover 600 is arranged to cover the opening of the mounting hole 110 on the side close to the upper connecting plate 210, and is used to cover the mounting hole 110. The first sealing part 610 is arranged on the inner side of the bearing cover 600 facing the mounting hole 110, and is used to seal the mounting hole 110.

[0046] As described above, since the two groups of bearings are arranged in the mounting hole 110 on the first connecting part 100, the first connecting part 100 can be used as part of the bearing seat, and the bearing seat needs to be additionally arranged. Only the opening of the mounting hole 110 close to the upper connecting plate 210 needs to be covered by the bearing cover 600 to protect the bearings. When the bearing cover 600 is installed, it can be fixed on the first connecting part 100 by using a plurality of bolts 620.

[0047] The first sealing part 610 can be a bearing sealing ring, and the first sealing part 610 is arranged on the inner side of the bearing cover 600 facing the mounting hole 110 to seal the lubricating cavity, prevent the lubricating oil from leaking, and prevent contaminants from entering the bearing and the lubricating cavity.

[0048] Further, the bearing cover 600 is provided with a first through hole 612 for the pin shaft part 300 to pass through, and when the pin shaft part 300 passes through the first through hole 612, the pin shaft part 300 and the first through hole 612 have a first gap 614. The frame hinge device can further comprise a positioning sleeve 700, which is sleeved on the pin shaft part 300 and arranged in the first gap 614, so that the first end of the positioning sleeve 700 abuts against the inner ring of the self-aligning roller bearing 400 close to the upper connecting plate 210, and the second end abuts against the upper connecting plate 210.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the positioning sleeve 700 is fixed with the pin shaft portion 300, and since the bearing cover 600 is fixed with the first connecting portion 100, a gap is required between the positioning sleeve 700 and the bearing cover 600 after the positioning sleeve 700 is inserted through the first gap 614 to allow relative rotation between the two. A sealing space is formed between the bearing cover 600 and the positioning sleeve 700, and the first sealing portion 610 can be arranged in the sealing space, so that the gap between the positioning sleeve 700 and the bearing is sealed to seal the opening of the mounting hole 110 close to the upper connecting plate 210.

[0050] In addition, since the first end of the positioning sleeve 700 abuts against the inner ring of the bearing and the second end abuts against the upper connecting plate 210 through the first gap 614 of the bearing cover 600, the positioning sleeve 700 can be used to isolate the bearing cover 600 (the first connecting portion 100) and the upper connecting plate 210 (the second connecting portion 200) to avoid rotation interference caused by contact between the two.

[0051] In some embodiments, the lower connecting plate 220 is provided with a second through hole 222 for the pin shaft portion 300 to pass through. The frame hinging device further comprises a fixing disc 800 fixed to the side of the lower connecting plate 220 away from the upper connecting plate 210, and the pin shaft portion 300 passes through the second through hole 222 and abuts against and is fixed to the fixing disc 800.

[0052] In the present embodiment, the fixing disc 800 can be a flange disc, which can protect the pin shaft portion 300. The fixing disc 800 can be fixed to the side of the lower connecting plate 220 away from the upper connecting plate 210 by a plurality of bolts 820. The pin shaft portion 300 passes through the second through hole 222 of the lower connecting plate 220 to reach the fixing disc 800, and then the pin shaft portion 300 is fixed to the fixing disc 800 by the bolts 830.

[0053] Further, when the pin shaft portion 300 passes through the second through hole 222, a second gap 224 is formed between the pin shaft portion 300 and the second through hole 222. The frame hinging device can further comprise a compression sleeve 900 sleeved on the pin shaft portion 300 and inserted through the second gap 224 and the mounting hole 110, so that the first end of the compression sleeve 900 abuts against the inner ring of the aligning roller bearing 400 close to the lower connecting plate 220 and the second end abuts against the fixing disc 800.
