Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a replacement wheel for container shipping and loading, belonging to the field of agricultural machinery container shipping technology. Background Technology
[0002] Tractor exports require shipping in containers. While standard-sized containers can accommodate small tractors, some large tractors exceed the height of these containers and cannot fit inside. The wheels significantly contribute to the overall height of the tractor. Temporarily removing the wheels during container loading allows the tractor to fit within the container's height, but this prevents it from moving. Furthermore, the tractor's weight makes manual handling impossible, requiring a transport device. However, due to the height restrictions within the container, no suitable transport device exists to move the large tractor inside.
[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a replacement wheel structure for large tractor wheels that can reduce the overall height of the tractor while ensuring short-distance travel of large tractors, enabling container loading of large tractors. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an alternative wheel for container shipping and loading.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0006] An alternative wheel for container shipping and loading includes a rim and spokes disposed within the rim. The rim is annular. A connecting hole is provided in the center of the spokes for connection with a drive shaft of a tractor. Mounting holes are provided on the spokes, arranged circumferentially along the connecting hole, and mounting bolts are connected to the mounting holes.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model can replace the wheels of large tractors, thereby reducing the overall height of the tractor; by setting the rim and spokes, this utility model has high structural strength and can rotate with the engine drive shaft, thereby enabling short-distance travel and realizing container loading and shipping of large tractors; the replacement wheels of this utility model are fixed by the mounting bolts of the front axle and the final drive, without the need for a separate special structure design, making it convenient to use.
[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows:
[0009] Furthermore, a wear-resistant layer is provided on the outer periphery of the rim.
[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are: setting a wear-resistant layer on the outer periphery of the rim can protect the rim, prevent rim wear, extend the service life of this utility model, and the wear-resistant layer provides a buffering effect for the rotation of the rim inside the container, making its rotation smoother.
[0011] Furthermore, the wear-resistant layer is made of rubber.
[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are: the rubber material is wear-resistant, has good elasticity, can provide good cushioning, and is not easily worn.
[0013] Furthermore, the wear-resistant layer is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are: the anti-slip texture increases the friction of the wear-resistant layer, thereby giving the replacement wheel of this utility model better grip, making short-distance driving more stable and less prone to slipping.
[0015] Furthermore, the wear-resistant layer is fixedly installed on the wheel rim using an adhesive.
[0016] Furthermore, the wear-resistant layer is fixedly installed on the wheel rim by screws.
[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions is that the wear-resistant layer can be well fixed by adhesive or screw installation, making the wear-resistant layer less likely to fall off.
[0018] Furthermore, the rim is machined from steel plate.
[0019] Furthermore, the spokes are machined from steel plates.
[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are: both the rim and the spokes are made of steel plates, and only simple bending, stamping and welding processes are required for the raw materials. The tolerance requirements are not high and the production cost is low. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0027] See Figure 1-4 An alternative wheel for container loading and unloading includes a rim 1 and spokes 2 disposed within the rim 1. The rim 1 is annular. A connecting hole 3 is provided in the center of each spoke 2 for connection to a tractor drive shaft. Mounting holes 4 are provided on each spoke 2, arranged circumferentially along the connecting hole 3. Mounting bolts are connected to the mounting holes 4, i.e., mounting bolts on the tractor used for mounting wheels are connected to the mounting holes 4. The diameter of the rim 1 is 800mm-1000mm, significantly reducing the tractor's height while still meeting the tractor's short-distance travel requirements. Specifically, in this embodiment, the diameter of the rim 1 is 800mm.
[0028] The outer periphery of the rim 1 is provided with a wear-resistant layer 5; the wear-resistant layer 5 is made of rubber; the wear-resistant layer 5 is provided with anti-slip texture. The wear-resistant layer 5 is fixedly installed on the rim 1 by adhesive or screws.
[0029] The rim 1 is made of steel plate.
[0030] The spokes 2 are made of steel plate.
[0031] This utility model is a widely applicable wheel replacement structure that solves the problem of large tractors being unable to be loaded into containers due to their height exceeding that of the container. Furthermore, similar agricultural machinery, construction machinery, and trucks with tractor-like mechanical structures can also use this wheel simulation structure to assist in entering containers, making its application wide-ranging. This utility model is lightweight, with small models weighing approximately 5kg and large models weighing approximately 15kg. Installation and disassembly do not require additional mechanical equipment, saving time and effort. The manufacturing process of this utility model is simple, requiring only simple bending, stamping, and welding of the raw materials. Dimensional tolerances are not stringent, resulting in low production costs. Additionally, the replacement wheel is detachable and reusable, further reducing operating costs.
