AI Technical Summary
In existing triangular track assemblies, the support rollers arranged in the left and right directions lack contour-following function, resulting in severe wear or detachment of the track when there is a large height difference.
Design a triangular track assembly with a spherical part and a rocker body on the support shaft. When the track roller moves along the axial direction of the support shaft, the rocker body deforms to achieve contour-following shock absorption function, and the elastic material reduces the impact of ground changes on the tractor.
This allows the track rollers to adapt to changes in terrain, reducing track wear and improving the stability and shock absorption of the track assembly.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to a triangular track assembly and a tractor. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, in a triangular track assembly, the track roller assembly is fixedly mounted under the track device frame, and the guide rollers on both sides support the track's contact with the ground. When the track device traverses complex terrain, the track rollers arranged in the front-to-back direction can swing, but the track rollers arranged in the left-to-right direction do not have a contour-following function. When there is a large height difference in the left-to-right direction, it will cause unnecessary wear on the track, or even cause it to detach from the track. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a triangular track assembly and tractor to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.
[0038] See appendix Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment discloses a triangular track 500 assembly, which is mainly used in agricultural machinery such as tractors. This embodiment takes a tractor as an example for explanation, with the forward direction of the tractor as the front and the side closest to the tractor body as the inner side. The triangular track 500 assembly includes a bracket 100, a drive wheel 200, a first idler wheel 300, a second idler wheel 400, a track roller assembly, and a track 500.
[0039] See appendix Figure 1The drive wheel 200 is mounted on the output shaft of the tractor's drive axle. The inner side of the drive wheel 200 is connected to the output shaft via a spline. The tractor drives the drive wheel 200 to rotate via the drive axle, thereby driving the entire triangular track 500 assembly. The bracket 100 can be rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft of the drive wheel 200 via bearings, or the bracket 100 can be directly mounted on the tractor body. The idler wheels include a first idler wheel 300 located below the drive wheel 200 and at the front end 221 of the bracket 100, and a second idler wheel 400 located below the drive wheel 200 and at the rear end 222 of the bracket 100. The support roller assembly includes a first support roller 3 and a second support roller 4 located in the middle of the bracket 100. The track 500 is wound around the drive wheel 200, the first idler wheel 300, the first support roller 3, the second support roller 4, and the second idler wheel 400, so that the rotation of the drive wheel 200 causes the track 500 to move.
[0040] See appendix Figure 2 , 3 The support roller assembly includes a support shaft 1, a support frame 2 that can swing along its support shaft 1, a first set of support rollers 3 installed at the front end 221 of the support frame 2, and a second set of support rollers 4 installed at the rear end 222 of the support frame 2, so that the first set of support rollers 3 and the second set of support rollers 4 can change along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the support shaft 1 (i.e., the forward direction) with the change of terrain, thereby achieving the effect of conformal shock absorption.
[0041] See appendix Figure 4 The support shaft 1 includes a shaft body 11, a spherical part 12 located in the middle of the shaft body 11, and a rocker body 13 wrapped around the spherical part 12 and made of elastic material, which can be rubber. The support frame 2 includes a frame body 22, a sleeve part 21 located in the middle of the frame body 22 and sleeved on the rocker body 13, a first shaft 225 located at the front end 221 of the frame body and rotating integrally with the frame body 22, and a second shaft 226 located at the rear end 222 of the frame body and rotating integrally with the frame body 22.
[0042] See appendix Figure 3 The rear end 222 of the frame body is provided with an arc-shaped latch 223, and at least two U-shaped buckles 224 are provided on the rear end 222 of the frame body. The second shaft 226 is fixedly installed on the corresponding arc-shaped latch 223 through the U-shaped buckles 224. Similarly, the rear end 222 of the frame body is provided with an arc-shaped latch 223, and at least two U-shaped buckles 224 are provided on the rear end 222 of the frame body. The second shaft 226 is fixedly installed on the corresponding arc-shaped latch 223 through the U-shaped buckles 224, so that the first shaft 225 and the second shaft 226 rotate as a unit with the frame body 22.
[0043] When the track 500 undergoes displacement along the axial direction (i.e., the inner and outer directions) of the support shaft 1, the sway body 13 will deform, so that the first and second rollers 3 and 4 change along the inner and outer directions with the terrain, thereby realizing the contour-following shock absorption function. At the same time, the plasticity of the sway body 13 can also reduce the impact of ground changes on the tractor.
[0044] See appendix Figure 5 The inner surface of the rocker body 13 is fitted to the spherical part 12. The outer circumference of the middle region of the rocker body 13 is a cylindrical surface 131, which is locked between the retaining spring 7 and the annular step 211. The outer circumference of the two ends of the rocker body 13 is a conical surface 132. The connection between the conical surface 132 and the cylindrical surface 131 is a transition surface 133, so that the thickness of the rocker body 13 at both ends is approximately the same as the thickness of the rocker body 13 in the middle, ensuring that the rocker body 13 has approximately the same radial stiffness and improving the deformation uniformity of the entire rocker body 13.
[0045] A conical groove 134 is formed on both ends of the rocker body 13. The groove 134 releases part of the internal stress during the compression deformation of the rubber, changes the outward flow deformation of the circumferential surface, thereby avoiding problems such as bulging and excessive deformation on both ends of the rocker body 13, reducing the axial deformation of the rocker body 13 after compression, and ensuring that the rocker body 13 will not interfere with the shaft body 11 during the load-bearing process.
[0046] See attached Figure 4 , 6 The outer peripheral surfaces of the two ends of the rocker body 13 are respectively provided with a first end cap 51 and a second end cap 52. The inner contour of the first end cap 51 and the outer contour of the rocker body 13 are adapted to each other. That is, the first end cap 51 extends along a transition surface 133 to one end face of the rocker body 13, and the second end cap 52 extends along another transition surface 133 to the other end face of the rocker body 13. The first end cap 51 and the second end cap 52 constrain the circumferential outer surface of the two ends of the rocker body 13, preventing radial bulging and causing radial bulging of the rubber layer within the normal load range, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the rocker body 13.
[0047] See attached Figure 4 , 6 The inner surface of the sleeve portion 21 is provided with an annular step 211 and an annular groove 212. The annular step 211 and the annular groove 212 are separated by a predetermined gap, and a retaining spring 7 is engaged on the annular groove 212. The first end cap 51, the rocker body 13 and the second end cap 52 are sequentially fixed from the retaining spring 7 to the annular step 211. The rocker body 13 is installed and fixed by the retaining spring 7 and the annular step 211.
[0048] Furthermore, a spacer 6 is provided between the retaining ring 7 and the first end cap 51. By replacing the spacer 6 with different thicknesses, the user can adjust the distance between the first end cap 51 and the second end cap 52, thereby adjusting the initial axial length of the rocker body 13, adjusting the variable stiffness of the rocker body 13, and compensating for wear of the rocker body 13.
[0049] See attached Figure 7 The gap between the two first support rollers 3 is greater than the width of the inner tooth block 510 of the track 500, and the gap between the two second support rollers 4 is greater than the width of the inner tooth block 510 of the track 500. The inner tooth block 510 of the track 500 is locked between the two first support rollers 3 and the two second support rollers 4 to prevent the track 500 from coming off and to ensure the stability of the entire triangular track 500 assembly.
[0050] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations falling within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
