Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guide wheel devices, and in particular to a novel track guide wheel. Background Technology

[0002] Track guide wheels are crucial components in tracked vehicles or machinery, responsible for controlling the direction of track travel and maintaining its proper tension. These guide wheels are typically installed at the front and rear ends of the track, guiding the movement of the vehicle or machine through precise orientation while effectively preventing the track from slipping off during operation.

[0003] However, traditional track guide wheels have some drawbacks, the most significant being the lack of a precise control mechanism for track tension. This often results in the track being either too loose during operation, potentially causing instability and increasing the risk of track slippage, or too tight, accelerating track wear and shortening its lifespan. Furthermore, traditional track guide wheels may experience misalignment or instability during movement. Due to the lack of effective guiding design, this directly affects the overall performance and operational accuracy of the machinery. Another challenge is that repairing or replacing parts with traditional track guide wheels requires complex disassembly procedures, which not only increases the difficulty of maintenance but also raises maintenance costs. More inconveniently, the difficulty in adapting different models and specifications of track guide wheels to diverse mechanical needs greatly limits their versatility and wide applicability.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model proposes a novel track guide wheel, which includes a guide wheel body 1. The guide wheel body 1 is responsible for supporting and guiding the track, which can improve the overall strength and wear resistance, withstand the weight of the machine body and external impact force, and ensure the stable operation of the machine. A guide slide 4 is provided on the outer side of the guide wheel body 1. The guide slide 4 provides support and guidance for the guide wheel track, enhances the stability and reliability of the guide wheel system, and facilitates the connection with the easy-to-disassemble component 2 and the tensioning component 3. A pair of easy-to-disassemble components 2 are symmetrically arranged between the guide wheel body 1 and the guide slide 4. A tensioning component 3 is provided on one side of the guide slide 4. A pair of bearing seats 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide wheel body 1. The guide wheel body 1 is hollow in the middle, and a rotating shaft 12 is provided between the two bearing seats 11.

[0023] The easily detachable component 2 includes a mounting sleeve 23 spirally mounted at one end of the rotating shaft 12. The mounting sleeve 23 facilitates quick connection and disassembly between the guide wheel body 1 and the guide slide 4, simplifying maintenance and replacement processes and improving work efficiency. A telescopic cylinder 24 is located on one side of the guide slide 4, with its telescopic rod passing through the guide slide 4. The telescopic cylinder 24 drives the movement of the mounting sleeve 25, ensuring quick assembly and disassembly of the track guide wheel through its telescopic movement. A mounting bracket is located at the top of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 24. Sleeve 25, with several connectors 26 on its outer surface, each connector 26 symmetrically equipped with a pair of connectors 27. An arc-shaped fixing member 28 is located at the end of each connector 27 away from the sleeve 25. Each arc-shaped fixing member 28 is abutted between the outer surface of the sleeve 25 and the inner surface of the sleeve 23. A slide rail 29 is located on the side of the guide slide 4 away from the telescopic cylinder 24. A slider 210 corresponding to the slide rail 29 is located at the tail of each arc-shaped fixing member 28. When the telescopic rod of telescopic cylinder 24 extends, it drives mounting sleeve 25 to move forward. Since the tail of the arc-shaped fixing member 28 is connected to the slide rail 29 on the guide slide 4, the angle between connecting member 26 and connecting member 27 decreases. The sliders 210 at the tails of several arc-shaped fixing members 28 move inward along the slide rail 29, thus causing the arc-shaped fixing members 28 to retract inward. The arc-shaped fixing members 28 are no longer pressed against the outer surface of mounting sleeve 25 and the inner surface of mounting sleeve 23, thus realizing the guide wheel... The quick disassembly of the main body 1 and the guide slide 4 is achieved when the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 24 retracts, which drives the mounting sleeve 25 to move backward. The angle between the connector 26 and the connector 27 increases, and the slider 210 at the tail of several arc-shaped fixing parts 28 moves outward along the slide rail 29, thereby opening the several arc-shaped fixing parts 28 outward. The several arc-shaped fixing parts 28 are firmly pressed between the outer surface of the mounting sleeve 25 and the inner surface of the mounting sleeve 23, thereby achieving the quick installation of the guide wheel main body 1 and the guide slide 4.

[0024] The tensioning assembly 3 includes a mounting box 31, which provides support and protection for the tensioning assembly 3. A round rod 32 is provided on one side inside the mounting box 31. A connector 33 is provided on the round rod 32. A telescopic cylinder 34 is provided on the round rod 32 through the connector 33. The combination of the round rod 32, the connector 33, and the telescopic cylinder 34 drives the movement of the boomerang-shaped connector 36. The position of the boomerang-shaped connector 36 is adjusted by the telescopic action of the telescopic cylinder 34, thereby achieving precise control of the track tension.

[0025] A connector 35 is provided at the top of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 34. A boomerang-shaped connector 36 is provided on the side of the connector 35 away from the telescopic cylinder 34. The connector 35 and the boomerang-shaped connector 36 transmit the driving force of the telescopic cylinder 34 to the push-pull rod 310 to achieve track tensioning. A round rod 37 is provided inside the mounting box 31 on the side away from the round rod 32. A pair of limit blocks 312 are symmetrically provided on the round rod 37. The end of the boomerang-shaped connector 36 away from the connector 35 is connected to the round rod 37. The boomerang-shaped connector 36 is located between the limit blocks 312. The limit blocks 312 restrict the movement range of the boomerang-shaped connector 36 to prevent it from moving excessively or being damaged, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the tensioning assembly 3.

[0026] A connector six 38 is provided in the middle of the boomerang-shaped connector 36. A connector seven 39 is provided at the end of connector six 38 away from the boomerang-shaped connector 36. A push-pull rod 310 is provided through connector six 38 and connector seven 39. The push-pull rod 310 passes through mounting box one 31. The end of the push-pull rod 310 away from connector seven 39 is connected to the guide slide 4. The combined use of connector six 38, connector seven 39, and push-pull rod 310 transmits the driving force of the boomerang-shaped connector 36 to the guide slide 4, realizing the tension adjustment of the track. Through the connection and transmission, a tight fit and coordinated work between the tensioning component 3 and the guide slide 4 are ensured. A guide rail one 311 is provided on one side of the guide slide 4. The guide rail one 311 is on the same side as the mounting box one 31. A guide rail groove corresponding to the guide rail one 311 is opened on one side of the mounting box one 31. The guide rail one 311 and the guide rail groove provide guidance and support for the push-pull rod 310, ensuring Its stability and accuracy during movement are achieved through sliding engagement, enabling flexible adjustment of the tensioning component 3. When the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 2 34 extends, the connecting piece 4 35 pushes the boomerang-shaped connecting piece 36 forward. Since the end of the boomerang-shaped connecting piece 36 away from the connecting piece 4 35 is mounted on the round rod 2 37, the middle part of the boomerang-shaped connecting piece 36 pushes the connecting piece 6 38 forward. The connecting piece 6 38 continues to push the connecting piece 7 39 forward, thereby driving the push-pull rod 310 to push the guide slide 4 forward, thus tensioning the track. When the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 2 34 retracts, the connecting piece 4 35 pulls the boomerang-shaped connecting piece 36 backward. Since the end of the boomerang-shaped connecting piece 36 away from the connecting piece 4 35 is mounted on the round rod 2 37, the middle part of the boomerang-shaped connecting piece 36 pulls the connecting piece 6 38 backward. The connecting piece 6 38 continues to pull the connecting piece 7 39 backward, thereby driving the push-pull rod 310 to pull the guide slide 4 backward, thus relaxing the track.

[0027] In use, the user first installs the guide wheel, installing the bearing housing 11 on both sides of the hollow part of the guide wheel body 1. Then, the rotating shaft 12 is inserted along the bearing housing 11. Next, the two mounting sleeves 23 are aligned with the threads at both ends of the rotating shaft 12 and tightened. Then, the guide wheel is connected to the guide slide 4 in the track. The user activates the telescopic cylinder 24, and the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 24 retracts. The telescopic rod drives the mounting sleeve 25 to move backward, and the included angle between the connecting piece 26 and the connecting piece 27 increases. The slider 210 at the tail of several arc-shaped fixing pieces 28 moves outward along the slide rail 29, thereby realizing the outward opening of several arc-shaped fixing pieces 28. Several arc-shaped fixing pieces 28 are firmly pressed between the outer surface of the mounting sleeve 25 and the inner surface of the mounting sleeve 23, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the guide wheel body 1 and the guide slide 4.

[0028] After installation, the user can adjust the track tension according to the actual situation. When the user needs track tension, the telescopic cylinder 2 34 can be activated, causing the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 2 34 to extend. Connector 4 35 pushes the boomerang-shaped connector 36 forward. Since the end of the boomerang-shaped connector 36 away from connector 4 35 is mounted on the round rod 2 37, the middle of the boomerang-shaped connector 36 pushes the connector 6 38 forward. Connector 6 38 continues to push the connector 7 39 forward, thereby driving the push-pull rod 310 to push the guide carriage 4 forward and the guide wheel. The main body 1 moves forward to tension the tracks. When the user needs the tracks to loosen, the telescopic cylinder 2 34 can be activated. When the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 2 34 retracts, the connecting piece 4 35 pulls the boomerang-shaped connecting piece 36 backward. Since the end of the boomerang-shaped connecting piece 36 away from the connecting piece 4 35 is mounted on the round rod 2 37, the middle part of the boomerang-shaped connecting piece 36 pulls the connecting piece 6 38 backward. The connecting piece 6 38 continues to pull the connecting piece 7 39 backward, thereby driving the push-pull rod 310 to pull the guide slide 4 backward. The guide wheel main body 1 moves backward, loosening the tracks.
