Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a support arm, and more particularly to a support arm for a track machine. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, agricultural transportation machinery has gradually become more widespread. However, due to the prevalence of mountainous terrain in my country, there are still many places that tractors cannot reach. As a result, the transportation efficiency of crops, including fruits and vegetables, in the mountains remains low, making it impossible to achieve large-scale cultivation.

[0003] Therefore, rail transport vehicles have emerged on the market. These vehicles lay tracks on mountainous terrain, allowing them to start and stop at any time to load and transport agricultural products. Because the tracks need to be laid on uneven, steep mountainous terrain, ensuring the safety of the tracks after installation is crucial. The track support relies entirely on support frames, but existing support frames lack sufficient overall strength, posing certain safety hazards to the rail transport vehicles. Existing solutions are also impractical due to the mountainous terrain and other factors. Therefore, designing a high-strength, easy-to-install, and safe support frame has become a pressing technical problem for the industry. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the existing technical problem by providing a support arm for a track machine. It has a simple structure, is easy to install, and can provide better track support for the track machine, thereby greatly improving the safety factor.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] This utility model discloses a support arm for a track machine, which is installed on a bracket and includes a support body and a connecting body. The support body is provided with at least two vertical mounting holes, and the corresponding side walls of the support body are recessed inward to form arc recesses, and the arc recesses are located in the middle of the connection between the centers of the two vertical mounting holes. The connecting body is provided with at least one horizontal mounting hole, which matches the mounting base.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the support arm for the track machine of this utility model has multiple vertical mounting holes and multiple horizontal mounting holes. The vertical mounting holes connect with the uprights of the support, while the horizontal mounting holes connect with the track of the track machine. The multiple mounting holes reduce the load on individual supports, thereby improving the overall support strength. The arc-shaped concave structure saves materials and production costs, while also facilitating placement and removal during installation. In mountainous environments, it avoids more vegetation, making installation easier. Moreover, the arc-shaped concave structure can rest against the branches of plants, making it more stable. The two symmetrical arc-shaped concave structures on the left and right sides create two opposing stresses, making the entire support arm more sway-resistant.

[0008] The connector is an elongated octagon.

[0009] The elongated octagonal design can greatly improve the support strength of the four sides of the connector.

[0010] The horizontal mounting hole is one, the connecting body is a single-sided lug, the mounting base is set on the side of the connecting body, and there is a connecting plate two between the mounting base and the connecting body.

[0011] The second connecting plate is a right-angled triangular rib, with one right-angled side connected to the side wall of the mounting base and the other right-angled side fixed to the connecting body. The height of the right-angled side of the rib connected to the side wall of the mounting base is less than the height of the mounting base.

[0012] The support arm, which uses only one horizontal mounting hole, is more flexible during installation and can avoid obstacles in small spaces.

[0013] The horizontal mounting hole has two holes, which are installed on two symmetrical mounting seats, and a connecting plate is provided between the two mounting seats.

[0014] The connecting plate includes a left rib and a right rib, and an angle is formed between the left rib and the right rib.

[0015] The included angle is an obtuse angle.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the installation strength between two adjacent mounting bases is greatly improved. Moreover, the left and right ribs are arranged in a scissor pattern, and the included angle between them is an obtuse angle. This allows the line extending from the included angle between the left and right ribs to the left and right sides of the mounting base to provide support for the mounting base.

[0017] In addition, the scissor-shaped left and right ribs not only strengthen the mounting base and connecting body, but also leave some space to facilitate later installation by workers. Some anti-vibration materials can also be filled in this space to reduce the damage to the support arm caused by track vibration when the track machine is running.

[0018] The left and right ribs are symmetrically arranged, and the height of the end of the left and right ribs connected to the corresponding mounting base is less than the height of the mounting base.

[0019] The obtuse angle extends into the end face of the connector.

[0020] The apex line of the obtuse angle extends and embeds into the end face of the connector. In other words, the apex line of the obtuse angle is below the end face of the connector. In this way, the part of the obtuse angle inside the end face of the connector can obtain the support strength of the connector, which makes the support on the opposite side of the line more solid.

[0021] The starting end of the mounting base is one end of the connecting surface between the connector and the support, and the ending end extends beyond the connector.

[0022] The support body is provided with a locking hole that extends through to the vertical mounting hole.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the track support arm of this utility model, by setting multiple vertical mounting holes and one or more horizontal mounting holes, makes the connection between the support arm and the bracket and the track more solid and safe. Moreover, the design of the connecting plate and the arc concave shape further enhances the overall strength of the support arm and makes it safer. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a support arm for a track machine, which is integrally cast and includes a support body 101 and a connecting body 102. The support body 101 is provided with at least two vertical mounting holes 103, and the corresponding side walls of the support body 101 are recessed inward to form arc recesses 104, and the arc recesses 104 are located in the middle of the connection between the two vertical mounting holes 103. The connecting body 102 is provided with a horizontal mounting hole 105, which matches the mounting base 106.

[0036] The support arm of this utility model is mounted on a bracket 107. The bracket 107 includes a support 108 and a column 109. The vertical mounting hole 103 of the support arm is fitted onto the column 109, while the support 108 is fixed to the ground. The column 109 and the support arm are fixed by setting a locking hole 110 on the support body 101 that extends through the vertical mounting hole 103, and screwing a bolt into the locking hole 110 so that the bolt abuts against the surface of the column 109 to achieve the purpose of fixing.

[0037] The connector 102 is an elongated octagon.

[0038] The elongated octagonal design can greatly improve the support strength of the four sides of the connector 102.

[0039] The horizontal mounting hole 105 has one hole, the connecting body 102 is a single-sided lug, the mounting base is disposed on the side of the connecting body 102, and the mounting base 106 and the connecting body 102 have a connecting plate 111.

[0040] The connecting plate 111 is a right-angled triangular rib 112, with one right-angled side connected to the side wall of the mounting base 106 and the other right-angled side fixed to the connecting body 102. The height of the right-angled side of the rib 112 connected to the side wall of the mounting base 106 is less than the height of the mounting base 106.

[0041] The support arm, which uses only one horizontal mounting hole 105, is more flexible during installation and can avoid obstacles in small spaces.

[0042] In summary, the track support arm of this embodiment has multiple vertical mounting holes 103 and one horizontal mounting hole 105. The vertical mounting holes 103 are connected to the uprights 109 of the bracket 107, and the horizontal mounting hole 105 is connected to the track of the track machine. The design of multiple vertical mounting holes 103 can reduce the load on a single bracket 107, thereby improving the overall support strength. The structure of the arc-shaped concave 104 saves materials and production costs, and also facilitates placement and removal during installation. In mountainous environments, it can avoid more vegetation, making installation more convenient. Moreover, the arc-shaped concave 104 can also rest against the branches of plants, making it more stable. The two symmetrical arc-shaped concave 104 form two opposing stresses, making the entire support arm more sway-resistant.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Please see Figures 5 to 8 This utility model provides a support arm for a track machine, which is integrally cast and includes a support body 201 and a connecting body 202. The support body 201 is provided with at least two vertical mounting holes 203, and the corresponding side walls of the support body 201 are recessed inward to form arc recesses 204, and the arc recesses 204 are located in the middle of the connection between the two vertical mounting holes 203. The connecting body 202 is provided with two horizontal mounting holes 205, which are symmetrically matched on the mounting bases 206. A connecting plate 207 is provided between two adjacent mounting bases 206.

[0045] The support arm of this utility model is mounted on a bracket 208, which includes a support 209 and a column 210. The vertical mounting hole 203 of the support arm is fitted onto the column 210, while the support 209 is fixed to the ground. The column 210 and the support arm are fixed by setting a locking hole 211 through the vertical mounting hole 203 on the support body, and screwing a bolt into the locking hole 211 so that the bolt abuts against the surface of the column 210 to achieve the purpose of fixing.

[0046] Furthermore, the present invention has multiple vertical mounting holes 203 and horizontal mounting holes 205, which further improves the installation firmness.

[0047] The track support arm of this utility model features a circular arc recess 204 structure, which saves materials and production costs while facilitating placement and removal during installation. In mountainous environments, it can avoid more vegetation, making installation easier. Furthermore, the circular arc recess 204 can rest against the branches of plants, making it more stable. The two symmetrical circular arc recesses 204 on the left and right sides create two opposing stresses, making the entire support arm more sway-resistant.

[0048] The connector 202 is an elongated octagon. The specific structure of this elongated octagon is achieved by chamfering the four corners of the rectangular connector 202 with chamfers 212.

[0049] The elongated octagonal design can greatly improve the support strength of the four sides of the connector 202. In addition, the cross-section of the mounting base 206 is circular, and the straight line of the chamfer 212 is the external tangent of the circle.

[0050] The connecting plate 207 includes a left rib plate 213 and a right rib plate 214, with an included angle α between the left rib plate 213 and the right rib plate 214.

[0051] Preferably, the included angle α is an obtuse angle.

[0052] On the one hand, the connecting plate 207 greatly improves the installation strength between two adjacent mounting bases 206; on the other hand, the left rib plate 213 and the right rib plate 214 are arranged in a scissor-like manner, and the included angle α between them is an obtuse angle. This allows the line extending to the left and right along the left rib plate 213 and the right rib plate 214 to the surface of the mounting base 206, starting from the line of the included angle α between the left rib plate 213 and the right rib plate 214, to provide support for the mounting base 206.

[0053] We know that scissors can cut items with a small outer diameter with only a small force, while they require a large force to cut items with a large outer diameter. Therefore, when the included angle α between the left rib plate 213 and the right rib plate 214 of this utility model is an obtuse angle, the support force obtained by the two mounting seats 206 is relatively large.

[0054] In addition, the scissor-shaped left rib plate 213 and right rib plate 214 not only strengthen the mounting base 206 and the connecting body 202, but also leave a certain space to facilitate later installation by workers. Some anti-vibration materials can also be filled in this space to reduce the damage to the support arm caused by track vibration when the track machine is running.

[0055] The left rib plate 213 and right rib plate 214 are symmetrically arranged, and the height of the end connecting the left rib plate 213 and right rib plate 214 to the corresponding mounting base 206 is less than the height of the mounting base 206. This design, on the one hand, leaves sufficient space between two adjacent mounting bases 206, and on the other hand, does improve the connection strength between two adjacent mounting bases 206. Furthermore, the height of the end connecting the left rib plate 213 and right rib plate 214 to the corresponding mounting base 206 is less than the height of the mounting base 206, primarily to increase the obtuse angle. However, the angle cannot be too large, such as 180 degrees, which would mean that the left rib plate 213 and right rib plate 214 are combined into one unit, thus defeating the purpose of the scissor-like design of this utility model.

[0056] The obtuse angle extends into the end face 215 of the connector 202.

[0057] The obtuse angle apex line 216 extends and embeds into the end face 215 of the connector 202. That is, the obtuse angle apex line 216 is below the end face 215 of the connector 202. In this way, the part of the obtuse angle inside the end face 215 of the connector 202 can obtain the support strength of the connector 202, which makes the support of the line face more solid.

[0058] The starting end of the mounting base 206 is one end of the connecting surface between the connector 202 and the support 201, and the ending end extends beyond the connector 202.

[0059] The support arm for the track machine of this utility model has a vertical design between the horizontal mounting hole 205 and the vertical mounting hole 203. Bolts pass through the horizontal mounting hole 205 and are screwed to the side of the track, thereby providing support for the track. At this time, the track exerts a downward force on the support arm. The direction of this force is downward with the connection between the column 210 and the vertical mounting hole 203 as the fulcrum. The design of at least two vertical mounting holes 203, at least two horizontal mounting holes 205, and connecting plate 207 is all to resist this force and the vibration force generated by the track machine during operation, thereby making the support arm's support for the track safer, more stable, and more secure.

[0060] The above provides a detailed description of the support arm for the track machine provided in the embodiments of this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the technical solution disclosed in this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
