[0030] This utility model proposes a track designed to facilitate the timely discharge of silt that enters the track body during operation, and to allow for thorough cleaning of the track after use to further remove silt, thereby extending the track's service life.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, the track 100 includes:
[0032] The frame 1 includes a first support plate 11 and a second support plate 12, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and an accommodating space 1a is formed between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12;
[0033] Track body 2, the track body 2 surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the frame 1, and forms a gap between it and the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12;
[0034] The drive assembly 3 is disposed on the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12, and is connected to the track body 2 to drive the track body 2 to rotate along the outer peripheral surface of the frame 1.
[0035] In this embodiment, the track 100 includes a frame 1, a track body 2, and a drive assembly 3. The frame 1 includes a first support plate 11 and a second support plate 12, which are arranged opposite to each other, forming a receiving space 1a between them. The drive assembly 3 is disposed within this receiving space 1a. The track body 2 surrounds the outer circumferential surface of the frame 1, and the drive assembly 3 drives the track body 2 to rotate along the outer circumferential surface of the frame 1, thereby enabling the track body 2 to move. Simultaneously, a gap is formed between the track body 2 and the first and second support plates 11 and 12, allowing silt that enters the track body 2 to be discharged to the outside in a timely manner. This effectively prevents silt from getting stuck in the track 100, which would prevent the track 100 from moving normally. Furthermore, after use, the track 100 can be thoroughly cleaned to further remove silt, thus extending the service life of the track 100.
[0036] It should be noted that the track body 2 is existing technology, and this application does not limit it here.
[0037] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The frame 1 also includes a third support plate 13, which is disposed in the accommodating space 1a. One side of the third support plate 13 is connected to one side of the first support plate 11, and the other side of the third support plate 13 is connected to one side of the second support plate 12. By setting the third support plate 13, the connection stability between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 is improved, thereby ensuring the normal use of the track 100.
[0038] In this embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a third support plate 13, which is disposed within the accommodating space 1a. One side of the third support plate 13 is connected to one side of the first support plate 11, and the other side of the third support plate 13 is connected to one side of the second support plate 12. That is, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are connected together by the third support plate 13, ensuring not only the structural stability and robustness of the entire frame 1, guaranteeing structural strength during installation, but also ensuring the normal operation of the track 100. It should be noted that the third support plate 13 is connected between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 by welding or bonding, etc. Of course, other installation methods are also possible, and this application does not limit this.
[0039] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The track 100 also includes a support wheel 4, which is installed on the side of the third support plate 13 facing the track 100. By setting the support wheel 4, a supporting force is provided to the track body 2 to ensure the stable operation of the track body 2.
[0040] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The track 100 also includes a drive track wheel 5, which is driven and connected to the track body 2. The drive assembly 3 includes a mounting base 31, a drive component 32, and a transmission component 33. The mounting base 31 is installed in the accommodating space 1a. The transmission component 33 is located in the mounting base 31. The output end of the drive component 32 passes through the mounting base 31 and is driven and connected to the transmission component 33. The transmission component 33 is driven and connected to the drive track wheel 5, thereby driving the track body 2 to move.
[0041] In this embodiment, to facilitate the movement of the track body 2, the track 100 also includes a drive track wheel 5. The drive track wheel 5 is driven and connected to the track body 2. The drive assembly 3 includes a mounting base 31, a drive component 32, and a transmission component 33. The mounting base 31 is installed in the accommodating space 1a. The transmission component 33 is disposed within the mounting base 31. The output end of the drive component 32 passes through the mounting base 31 and is driven and connected to the transmission component 33. The transmission component 33 is driven and connected to the drive track wheel 5. Thus, the rotation of the track 100 is achieved through the drive component 32, the transmission component 33, and the drive track wheel 5. It should be noted that the mounting base 31 is a sealed cavity to prevent liquids and debris from the external environment from entering the mounting base 31 and to prevent damage to the drive component 32 and the transmission component 33 within the mounting base 31. The drive component 32 can be a motor, but other drive components are also possible; this application does not limit the specific drive component.
[0042] It should be further noted that the active track wheel 5 is prior art, and this application does not limit it here.
[0043] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The drive assembly 3 further includes a drive shaft 34, one side of which extends into the mounting base 31, and the other side of which is driven to the drive track wheel 5. The transmission component 33 includes a drive bevel gear 331, a transmission bevel gear 332, a transmission shaft 333, a drive gear 334, and a driven gear 335. The drive component 32 is driven to the drive bevel gear 331, and the drive bevel gear 331 is meshed with the transmission bevel gear 332. The transmission bevel gear 332 and the drive gear 334 are spaced apart from each other on the transmission shaft 333. The driven gear 335 is mounted on the side of the drive shaft 34 that extends into the mounting base 31, and the drive gear 334 is meshed with the driven gear 335.
[0044] In this embodiment, the transmission component 33 includes a driving bevel gear 331, a transmission bevel gear 332, a transmission shaft 333, a driving gear 334, and a driven gear 335. The driving component 32 is driven and connected to the driving bevel gear 331, and the driving bevel gear 331 is meshed with the transmission bevel gear 332. Since the transmission bevel gear 332 and the driving gear 334 are spaced apart on the transmission shaft 333, the driving bevel gear 331 drives the transmission bevel gear 332 to rotate while the transmission bevel gear 332 drives the transmission shaft 333 to rotate, thereby also driving the driving gear 334 on the transmission shaft 333 to rotate. The driven gear 335 is installed on one side of the drive shaft 34 that extends into the mounting base 31. The driving gear 334 is meshed with the driven gear 335. While the driving gear 334 is rotating, it drives the driven gear 335 to rotate, and while the driven gear 335 is rotating, it also drives the drive shaft 34 to rotate, thereby driving the drive track wheel 5 of the drive shaft 34 to rotate, thus realizing the rotation of the track 100.
[0045] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The track 100 also includes a tensioner 6 and a driven component 7. The driven component 7 is disposed in the receiving space 1a and located on one side of the drive component 3. The tensioner 6 is used to drive the driven component 7 to move closer to or away from the drive component 3, thereby adjusting the tension of the track body 2.
[0046] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 have elongated holes 1b on the side near the driven component 7. The two ends of the driven component 7 are respectively inserted into the elongated holes 1b. There are two tensioning members 6. Each tensioning member 6 passes through the first support plate 11 or the second support plate 12 and is driven to be connected to the driven component 7. The tensioning member 6 pulls the driven component 7 to move on the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 to adjust the tension of the track body 2.
[0047] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the tension of the track body 2, elongated holes 1b are provided on the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. The two ends of the driven component 7 are respectively inserted into the elongated holes 1b on the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. Furthermore, two tensioning members 6 are provided, each of which passes through the end face of the first support plate or the second support plate 12 and is driven to be connected to the driven component 7. Thus, by twisting the tensioning member 6, the driven component 7 is driven to move within the elongated holes 1b, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tension of the track body 2.
[0048] It should be noted that the tensioning element 6 is a screw, and by tightening the screw, the driven component 7 is moved within the elongated hole 1b. Furthermore, it should be noted that the driven component 7 is prior art, and this application does not limit its application.
[0049] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The track 100 also includes a mounting plate 8, which is installed on the outer wall of the mounting box 31 to install the mounting box 31 in the accommodating space 1a, thereby ensuring the normal use of the drive assembly 3.
[0050] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The track 100 also includes a seal 9, which is disposed within the mounting base 31 and surrounds the outer peripheral wall of the drive shaft 34. This seal ensures that the drive shaft 34 can smoothly drive the active track wheel 5 to rotate, while also preventing external liquids and debris from entering the mounting base 31, thus preventing damage to the drive component 32 and transmission component 33 within the mounting base 31. It should be noted that the seal 9 is prior art and is not limited thereto in this application.
