[0028] The structural features of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] See Figures 1-5A safety shear pin device for a snowplow includes a front connecting plate 1, a rear connecting plate 2, and a central shaft 3. The front connecting plate 1 connects to the snow-cutting wheel, and the rear connecting plate 2 connects to the drive shaft of the snowplow. The front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2 are rotatably connected to the central shaft 3. To ensure a stable connection, a columnar boss 11 is provided on the side of the front connecting plate 1 corresponding to the rear connecting plate 2. The columnar boss 11 is inserted into the rear connecting plate 2, increasing the contact area between them. The central shaft 3 passes through the axis of the columnar boss 11. To ensure more stable rotation between the front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2, a bearing 4 is provided between the rear connecting plate 2 and the columnar boss 11. The inner ring of the bearing 4 is fixedly connected to the columnar boss 11. To ensure a stable connection between the end of the central shaft 3 and the front connecting plate 1, a groove 12 is provided at the axial position on the side of the front connecting plate 1 away from the rear connecting plate 2. A thrust bearing 10 is provided in the groove 12, opposite to the nut at the end of the central shaft 3. The rear connecting plate 2 has a partition ring 23 inside the shaft hole. The partition ring 23 divides the shaft hole of the rear connecting plate 2 into a bearing groove 24 and a pressure plate groove 25. The outer ring of the bearing 4 is fixed in the bearing groove 24. The pressure plate 5 is provided in the pressure plate groove 25. The pressure plate 5 is fixedly connected to the central shaft 3. The pressure plate 5 is used to limit the rear connecting plate 2. Through holes are opened on the front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2 to reduce the weight of the front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2.
[0030] The front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2 have corresponding and identical insertion holes 21 on the side off from the central axis 3. A shear pin 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 21. The shear pin 6 has a groove 61 at the junction of the front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2. The cross-sectional diameter of the groove 61 is smaller than the diameter of the shear pin 6. The length of the shear pin 6 is the same as the depth of the insertion hole 21 on the front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2. When the snow-cutting wheel encounters a foreign object and gets stuck, if the resulting resistance torque is greater than the maximum torque that the groove 61 can withstand, the shear pin 6 will break directly at the groove 61, cutting off the power output of the snowplow and protecting the snow-cutting wheel.
[0031] A limiting hole 22 is provided on the outer diameter of the front connecting plate 1 or the rear connecting plate 2. A positioning mechanism for elastically fixing the shear pin 6 is provided in the limiting hole 22. The positioning mechanism is used to temporarily fix the shear pin 6 in the limiting hole 22. The positioning mechanism includes a steel ball 7, a compression spring 8 and a set screw 9 arranged in sequence in the limiting hole 22. The set screw 9 is connected to the limiting hole 22 by a thread. The pressure of the steel ball 7 on the shear pin 6 can be adjusted by the set screw 9. Under the action of the compression spring 8, the steel ball 7 is pressed tightly on the shear pin 6. In order to prevent the steel ball 7 from entering the insertion hole 21 from the limiting hole 22, the bottom diameter of the limiting hole 22 is smaller than the diameter of the steel ball 7. The setting of the positioning mechanism can facilitate the removal and placement of the shear pin 6, and also facilitate the fixing of the shear pin 6, which can reduce the difficulty of maintenance and replacement.
[0032] This utility model's snowplow safety shearing pin device has a simple structure and is convenient and quick to maintain. It can effectively protect the snowplow wheel. On the one hand, the shearing pin 6, in cooperation with the positioning mechanism, facilitates maintenance and replacement. If the shearing pin 6 is interrupted, it can be quickly replaced on-site, reducing the impact on snow removal work, improving maintenance efficiency, and reducing maintenance difficulty. On the other hand, if foreign objects are stuck during snowplow operation, and the resistance exceeds the maximum torque that the shearing pin 6 can withstand, the shearing pin 6 will be sheared instantly, interrupting the power output to the snowplow wheel, thus effectively protecting the snowplow wheel. This facilitates the inspection and repair of stuck faults by workers, protecting personnel, the snowplow wheel, and the snowplow, while also reducing losses caused by foreign object jamming.
[0033] Specifically, in use, the bearing 4, which has been coated with grease, is interference-fitted with the front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2. The front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2 are locked in the middle by the thrust bearing 10 and the central shaft 3 for protection. Then, the steel ball 7, the compression spring 8, the set screw 9, and the shear pin 6 are assembled and grease is added. After installation, the front connecting plate 1 and the rear connecting plate 2 transmit torque through the shear pin. When the snow cutter wheel encounters a foreign object and gets stuck, the broken groove 61 on the shear pin 6 will be cut off instantly, interrupting the power transmission. Remove the foreign object, loosen the set screw 9, remove the broken shear pin 6, replace it with a new shear pin 6, and the snow cutter wheel can work normally.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] Reference Figure 6 As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the difference from embodiment 1 is that the bottom of the groove 61 is a cross-section, and the bottom circumferential direction of the groove 61 is provided with an easy-break hook 62. By setting the easy-break hook 62, on the one hand, the groove 61 can be more easily broken after being stuck by foreign objects, and on the other hand, the cross-section of the groove 61 can be made flatter, which can ensure the complete interruption of power transmission, further protect the snow cutting wheel, and reduce the damage to the snow cutting wheel caused by foreign object jamming.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
