Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of track vehicle technology, and in particular relates to a horizontal wheel device for track vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] The horizontal wheels of the track trolley are key components for the operation of the track trolley. They support the trolley body and ensure that the trolley travels smoothly on the track. Through their precise design and wear-resistant materials, they guarantee the stability and reliability of the trolley's operation.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN220976327U discloses a horizontal wheel device, including a horizontal wheel bracket. A mounting block is horizontally positioned at the bottom inner side of the bracket, and the mounting block is fitted with two vertically positioned axles. A horizontal wheel is sleeved on the lower part of each axle via a bearing. A nut is threaded onto the upper end of each axle, and a baffle is welded to the lower end. The upper part of the vertical plate of the horizontal wheel bracket has four horizontally positioned oblong holes. The horizontal wheel bracket is connected and fixed to the trolley end beam by fasteners passing through the oblong holes. A positioning block is also provided on the side of the vertical plate of the horizontal wheel bracket, and the positioning block engages with the positioning holes of the trolley end beam. This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and has significant effects, solving the problem of horizontal wheel slippage caused by fastening force failure, preventing horizontal wheel failure, and avoiding horizontal wheel detachment.
[0004] The above-mentioned patent has the following problems: In actual use, it does not have the function of quick disassembly and assembly of the horizontal wheels. When the horizontal wheels need to be replaced or repaired, the inability to quickly disassemble and assemble them will greatly increase the difficulty and time consumption of maintenance work, resulting in the trolley being unable to be put into use for a long time, affecting production progress and operational efficiency. In view of this, we propose a horizontal wheel device for a track trolley. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a horizontal wheel device for a track trolley to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a horizontal wheel device for a track trolley, including a trolley base, characterized in that wheels are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the trolley base, a first mounting groove is provided around the trolley base, and two symmetrically distributed second mounting grooves are provided around the trolley base, with the first mounting groove located between the two second mounting grooves.
[0007] Four mounting blocks are movably inserted into the first mounting slot. A housing is fixedly connected to one side of each of the four mounting blocks. An offset shaft is rotatably mounted inside each of the four housings. Two symmetrically distributed bearings are provided on the outside of each of the four offset shafts. A horizontal wheel body is provided between the two bearings.
[0008] Four sets of fixing components are all located inside the trolley base and are used to fix the four mounting blocks.
[0009] Four sets of moving components, all of which are located outside the trolley base and are used to move the four sets of fixed components.
[0010] In this technical solution, the handle is first rotated, which in turn rotates the threaded rod. The rotation of the threaded rod moves the threaded sleeve, connecting plate, sliding rod, and first conical block. At this point, the first conical block disengages from the second conical block, and the second conical block and insert rod, under the spring's return force, move away from the first insertion hole on the mounting block. The operator can then remove the horizontal wheel body from the trolley base. By reversing the handle, the horizontal wheel body can be fixed back onto the trolley base. This structure allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the horizontal wheel body. This quick-assembly design allows maintenance personnel to quickly and easily remove damaged wheels and install new ones, significantly reducing maintenance time. This not only reduces trolley downtime but also ensures the trolley can quickly return to normal operation, improving its efficiency and facilitating operation.
[0011] By setting an offset shaft, the horizontal wheels can more effectively resist tipping or deflection when subjected to lateral forces. It also makes the trolley more flexible when turning. Due to the relative offset position of the horizontal wheel body, the trolley can better adapt to the curvature changes of the track when turning, reducing resistance and wear during turning, and improving the smoothness and accuracy of turning. The dual-bearing design reduces the swaying and wobble of the horizontal wheel body during operation. The two bearings support each other, making the movement of the horizontal wheel body more stable, improving the stability of the track trolley, and thus facilitating the use of the staff.
[0012] In the above technical solution, the fixing component further includes two sliding holes, both of which are opened on one side of the trolley base and extend into the interior of the second mounting groove. A sliding rod is slidably installed inside each of the two sliding holes, one end of each sliding rod extends into the interior of the second mounting groove, and a first conical block is fixedly connected to one end of each sliding rod. Insert rods are provided inside each of the two second mounting grooves, and a second conical block is fixedly connected to one end of each insert rod. The first conical block and the second conical block are adapted to each other.
[0013] In this technical solution, the first conical block will detach from the second conical block, and the second conical block and the insert rod will move away from the first insertion hole on the mounting block under the action of spring rebound. At this time, the worker can remove the horizontal wheel body from the trolley base.
[0014] In the above technical solution, a second insertion hole is provided between the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove, and a first insertion hole is provided on the top of each of the four mounting blocks. The insertion rod is movably inserted into the interior of the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole.
[0015] In this technical solution, the mounting block can be fixed by inserting the plug rod into the inside of the first and second sockets.
[0016] In the above technical solution, furthermore, each of the four second conical blocks is provided with a spring at its bottom, and the bottom of each of the four springs is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the first mounting groove, and the spring is sleeved on the outside of the insertion rod.
[0017] In this technical solution, the spring is designed so that the insertion rod can be reset when the first conical block and the second conical block are not in contact.
[0018] In the above technical solution, the moving component further includes a fixed frame, which is fixedly connected to one side of the trolley base. A threaded rod is rotatably mounted on one side of the fixed frame, and the other side of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the trolley base. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod.
[0019] In this technical solution, the threaded rod rotates, which in turn drives the threaded sleeve, connecting plate, sliding rod and first conical block to move.
[0020] In the above technical solution, furthermore, the top and bottom of the threaded sleeve are fixedly connected to connecting plates, and the outside of the two connecting plates are respectively fixedly connected to one end of two corresponding sliding rods.
[0021] In this technical solution, the sliding rod can be moved by the connecting plate.
[0022] In the above technical solution, furthermore, one end of each of the four threaded rods is fixedly connected to a handle, and the handle is made of rubber.
[0023] In this technical solution, the use of a rubber grip improves the comfort of the staff when holding the grip.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0025] 1. First, grasp the handle and rotate it, which will then drive the threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod will move the threaded sleeve, connecting plate, sliding rod, and first conical block. At this point, the first conical block will disengage from the second conical block. The second conical block and the insert rod will then move away from the first insertion hole on the mounting block under the spring's return force. The operator can then remove the horizontal wheel body from the trolley base. By reversing the handle, the horizontal wheel body can be fixed back onto the trolley base. This structure allows for quick disassembly and assembly of the horizontal wheel body. This quick-assembly design allows maintenance personnel to quickly and easily remove damaged wheels and install new ones, significantly reducing maintenance time. This not only reduces trolley downtime but also ensures the trolley can quickly return to normal operation, improving its efficiency and facilitating operation.
[0026] 2. By setting an offset shaft, the horizontal wheel can more effectively resist tipping or deviation when subjected to lateral forces. It also makes the trolley more flexible when turning. Due to the relative offset position of the horizontal wheel body, the trolley can better adapt to the curvature changes of the track when turning, reducing resistance and wear during turning, and improving the smoothness and accuracy of turning. The dual-bearing design reduces the swaying and wobble of the horizontal wheel body during operation. The two bearings support each other, making the movement of the horizontal wheel body more stable, improving the stability of the track trolley, and thus facilitating the use by the staff.
