Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sled technology and relates to a walking mechanism, particularly a tracked walking mechanism for sleds. Background Technology
[0002] A sled is a vehicle capable of gliding on snow or ice. Its design features and functions enable it to travel efficiently and stably in these special environments. Sleds are widely used in ski resorts, snow rescue, transportation, and many other applications. For example, a Chinese patent discloses a multi-functional quick-change sled [authorization announcement number CN222157573U], which includes a front structure and a traction mechanism connected to it. The traction mechanism includes a connecting component connected to the front structure at one end, and a seat and a driving component mounted on the connecting component. The driving component is detachably connected to the connecting component and includes sleds or wheels.
[0003] The aforementioned sled's front and rear tension wheels are mounted on the same tension frame. Due to the lack of a shock-absorbing structure, the sled's comfort is poor. To address this, patent application number 201410557660.X discloses a sled track guide wheel frame. This sled track guide wheel frame uses shock absorbers for vibration reduction. However, due to space limitations and installation constraints, the shock absorbers are relatively short, resulting in poor vibration damping performance and consequently, poor sled comfort. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a tracked walking mechanism for a sled with good shock absorption.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] The tracked running mechanism of the sled includes two oppositely arranged mounting plates, a drive shaft rotatably disposed between the two mounting plates, a driven shaft parallel to the drive shaft, and a track. The drive shaft is provided with a drive wheel that is connected to the track drive, and the driven shaft is provided with a driven wheel that is connected to the track drive. A mounting shaft parallel to the drive shaft is disposed between the two mounting plates. A front wheel frame and a rear wheel frame are rotatably disposed on the mounting shaft. A front support roller is disposed on the front wheel frame, and a rear support roller is disposed on the rear wheel frame. A shock-absorbing structure is provided on the mounting shaft for damping the front and rear support rollers.
[0007] The tracks are tensioned between the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket, with the front and rear track rollers pressing against the tracks. Due to the shock-absorbing structure, the front and rear track rollers can be damped, improving the comfort of the sled.
[0008] In the tracked running mechanism of the above-mentioned sled, the shock absorption structure includes at least one torsion spring sleeved on the mounting shaft. One end of the torsion spring acts on the front wheel frame, and the other end of the torsion spring acts on the rear wheel frame. The front support wheel and the rear support wheel press downward against the track under the elastic force of the torsion spring.
[0009] The torsion spring causes the front wheel frame to swing downward and backward, and the rear wheel frame to swing downward and forward, pressing the front and rear track rollers against the track. When the track passes over uneven surfaces, the front and rear wheel frames are compressed by the road surface, allowing the front and rear track rollers to adapt to the road surface.
[0010] In the tracked walking mechanism of the aforementioned sled, the front wheel frame includes a front wheel axle parallel to the mounting shaft and a front mounting tube rotatably sleeved on the mounting shaft. The front wheel axle is fixedly connected to the front mounting tube via a front connecting tube, and the front support rollers are rotatably mounted on the front wheel axle. There are two front support rollers, each located at one end of the front wheel axle, and preferably the front connecting tube is perpendicular to the front wheel axle.
[0011] In the tracked walking mechanism of the aforementioned sled, the front wheel axle is fixedly connected to the front mounting tube via two front connecting tubes, and a front limiting plate is provided between the two front connecting tubes. One end of the torsion spring acts on the front limiting plate. Each front connecting tube corresponds to one front mounting tube.
[0012] In the tracked walking mechanism of the above-mentioned sled, the front limiting plate is provided with a front limiting hole corresponding to the torsion spring, and one end of the torsion spring passes through the front limiting hole.
[0013] In the tracked walking mechanism of the aforementioned sled, the rear wheel frame includes a rear wheel axle parallel to the mounting shaft and a rear mounting tube rotatably sleeved on the mounting shaft. The rear wheel axle is fixedly connected to the rear mounting tube via a rear connecting tube, and the rear support rollers are rotatably mounted on the rear wheel axle. There are two rear support rollers, each located at one end of the rear wheel axle, and preferably the rear connecting tube is perpendicular to the rear wheel axle.
[0014] In the tracked walking mechanism of the aforementioned sled, the rear wheel axle is fixedly connected to the rear mounting tube via two rear connecting tubes, and a rear limiting plate is provided between the two rear connecting tubes. The other end of the torsion spring acts on the rear limiting plate. Each rear connecting tube corresponds to one rear mounting tube.
[0015] In the tracked walking mechanism of the above-mentioned sled, the rear limiting plate is provided with a rear limiting hole corresponding to the torsion spring, and the other end of the torsion spring passes through the rear limiting hole.
[0016] In the tracked walking mechanism of the above-mentioned sled, the two front mounting tubes are located between the two rear mounting tubes, and there are three torsion springs. The middle torsion spring is located between the two front connecting tubes, the left torsion spring is located between one of the front connecting tubes and the rear connecting tube, and the right torsion spring is located between the other front connecting tube and the rear connecting tube.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the tracked running gear of this sled has the following advantages:
[0018] Because of the shock-absorbing structure, the front and rear support wheels can be damped, resulting in good shock absorption and improved comfort of the sled. The shock-absorbing structure includes a torsion spring, one end of which acts on the front wheel frame and the other end on the rear wheel frame. This simplifies the shock absorption structure while still achieving the desired shock absorption effect, thus reducing costs. The overall structure is reasonably arranged and easy to assemble.

A front limiting plate 13 is provided between the two front connecting tubes 83. The front limiting plate 13 is provided with a front limiting hole 131 corresponding to the torsion spring 12. One end of the torsion spring 12 passes through the front limiting hole 131.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the rear wheel frame 9 includes a rear wheel axle 91 parallel to the mounting shaft 7 and a rear mounting tube 92 rotatably sleeved on the mounting shaft 7.
