Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of excavator axle technology, and more particularly to an excavator axle wheel-side mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The axle-wheel mechanism of an excavator generally includes an axle section and a wheel-side section. The axle section supports the wheel-side section and provides mechanical transmission for it. The wheel-side section connects to the tire, enabling the mechanical power of the axle section to be transmitted to the tire through the wheel-side section, thus allowing the excavator to move.
[0003] The wheel rim section generally includes the wheel rim drive components and the wheel hub. The wheel hub is used to mount the tire, provide support for the wheel rim section, and play a buffering role to facilitate the excavator's movement on the road. However, when it is necessary to repair the tire, wheel hub, or wheel rim drive components, since traditional wheel hubs are mostly made in one piece, it is not convenient to remove the tire from the wheel hub, causing trouble during maintenance.

[0039] The names of the messages or information exchanged between the multiple devices in this embodiment of the invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information.
[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The present invention provides an excavator axle wheel-side mechanism, including an axle body 1, a steering assembly 2 rotatably connected to both ends of the axle body 1, a wheel-side transmission assembly 3 rotatably connected to the steering assembly 2, and a wheel hub assembly 4 mounted on the wheel-side transmission assembly 3. A differential assembly 5 is provided in the axle body 1, and the differential assembly 5 is connected to the wheel-side transmission assembly 3 through the steering assembly 2.
[0041] The wheel hub assembly 4 includes a first wheel hub 41 and a second wheel hub 42. The first wheel hub 41 and the second wheel hub 42 are respectively mounted on the wheel-side transmission assembly 3. Both the first wheel hub 41 and the second wheel hub 42 are composed of a wheel hub body 43 and a wheel hub side body 44.
[0042] The hub body 43 includes a cylindrical hub body 431. One end of the cylindrical hub body 431 is provided with an outwardly extending first hub edge 432, and the other end is provided with an outwardly bent rolled edge 433, so that the cylindrical hub body 431 forms a groove 434 corresponding to the rolled edge 433.
[0043] The wheel hub side body 44 includes a ring 441. A second wheel hub side 442 extending outward is provided on the side of the ring 441 away from the wheel hub body 43. A locking block 443 is provided on the ring 441 at the position corresponding to the locking groove 434. The locking groove 434 and the locking block 443 are interference fit.
[0044] By adopting the above structure, the support capacity for the excavator can be improved by setting the wheel hub assembly 4 as the first wheel hub 41 and the second wheel hub 42. The first wheel hub 41 and the second wheel hub 42 are both set as a wheel hub body 43 and a wheel hub side body 44, forming a split structure. With the interference fit between the groove 434 of the wheel hub body 43 and the locking block 443 of the wheel hub side body 44, the first wheel hub 41 and the second wheel hub 42 can be easily disassembled, so as to facilitate the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the tire, the wheel-side transmission assembly 3 and the wheel hub assembly 4.
[0045] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A connecting plate 435 is provided at one end of the cylindrical hub 431 corresponding to the second hub 42, and the connecting plate 435 is mounted on the wheel-side transmission assembly 3. In practical applications, the connecting plate 435 facilitates the mounting of the cylindrical hub 431 onto the wheel-side transmission assembly 3.
[0046] The first wheel hub 41 and the second wheel hub 42 are symmetrically arranged. In practical applications, the symmetrical arrangement of the first wheel hub 41 and the second wheel hub 42 means that the wheel hub side bodies 44 of the first wheel hub 41 and the second wheel hub 42 are oriented towards or away from each other. The preferred arrangement is that they are oriented towards each other. With this arrangement, when the tire pressure is too high, the wheel hub side body 44 can be detached from the wheel hub body 43, thereby playing a role in preventing tire blowout caused by excessive pressure, which could lead to the axle jumping up.
[0047] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The steering assembly 2 includes a steering joint 21 and a steering connector 22. The steering joint 21 is rotatably connected to the axle body 1, and the steering connector 22 is used to connect the differential assembly 5 and the wheel-side drive assembly 3. In practical applications, the steering joint 21 facilitates steering along with the tire when the tire rotates, and the steering connector 22 facilitates the transmission between the differential assembly 5 and the wheel-side drive assembly 3.
[0048] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The wheel-side drive assembly 3 includes a wheel-side housing 31, a cover 32, a planetary carrier 33, a sun gear 34, multiple planetary gears 35, an internal gear ring carrier 36, and a wheel-side drive shaft 37, all rotatably connected to the steering joint 21. The cover 32 is mounted on the wheel-side housing 31, the planetary carrier 33 is disposed on the cover 32, and the multiple planetary gears 35 are rotatably connected between the cover 32 and the planetary carrier 33. The internal gear ring carrier 36 is mounted on the steering joint 21, and the multiple planetary gears 35 mesh with the sun gear 34 and the internal gear ring carrier 36, respectively. The internal gear ring carrier 36 has a cavity 361 for accommodating the planetary carrier 33. One end of the wheel-side drive shaft 37 is connected to the steering connector 22, and the other end is connected to the sun gear 34. In practical applications, through the cooperation of the sun gear 34, the multiple planetary gears 35, and the internal gear ring carrier 36, the power of the wheel-side drive shaft 37 can be transmitted to the wheel-side housing 31, thereby driving the wheel hub assembly 4 to rotate.
[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8The differential assembly 5 includes a differential transmission component 51. An input shaft 52 is provided on one side of the differential transmission component 51. Output shafts 53, which are connected to the differential transmission component 51, are respectively provided at both ends of the differential transmission component 51 corresponding to the steering joint 21. The other end of the output shaft 53 is connected to the steering connector 22. The differential transmission component 51 includes a bevel gear 511, a left half-shaft gear 512, multiple planetary half-shaft gears 513, and a right half-shaft gear 514. The bevel gear 511 and the left half-shaft gear 512 are concentrically arranged. The left half-shaft gear 512 meshes with one side of the planetary half-shaft gear 513. The other side of the planetary half-shaft gear 513 meshes with the right half-shaft gear 514. The right half-shaft gear 514 is mounted on the output shaft 53. An input gear 521 is provided on the input shaft 52 and meshes with the bevel gear 511. In practical applications, through the cooperation of differential transmission component 51, input shaft 52 and output shaft 53, the excavator's power can be transmitted to input shaft 52, and then transmitted to output shaft 53 through differential transmission component 51, thereby driving the rotation of wheel-side transmission component 3.
[0050] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.
