[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0027] This utility model discloses a waterproof and dustproof wedge-shaped sealing idler roller. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The waterproof and dustproof wedge-shaped sealing roller includes a roller body 1, which is a polymer tube. Several silent grooves 101 are provided on the outer side of the roller body 1 along its length. A metal liner 2 is installed on the inner side of the roller body 1, which provides support for the roller body 1. A roller shaft 3 is coaxially arranged inside the liner 2. In this embodiment, the roller shaft 3 includes a shaft tube 301. Shaft heads 302 are inserted into both ends of the shaft tube 301, and the shaft heads 302 are welded and fixed to the shaft tube 301 at the connection.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A bearing 4 is fitted onto the shaft head 302, a bearing outer sleeve 5 is fitted onto the outer ring of the bearing 4, and a bearing housing 6 is fitted onto the outer side of the bearing outer sleeve 5. The bearing housing 6 is welded and fixed to the bushing 2. A bushing 7 is also fitted onto the shaft head 302, and a retaining ring 8 is provided between the bushing 7 and the inner ring of the bearing 4.
