Description

Technical Field

[0002] Track rollers (also known as carrier rollers or rollers) of tracked construction machinery (such as excavators, bulldozers, tracked cranes, etc.) are key components that support the weight of the entire machine and transmit power. As the core component of the track roller, the bearing directly affects the operating performance, service life and maintenance cost of the equipment. Track roller bearings need to bear the weight of the entire machine as well as the impact load during operation. High-quality bearings can effectively distribute pressure, reduce local stress concentration, and prevent the track roller from deforming or being damaged.

[0003] In existing technologies, tracked machinery often operates in harsh environments such as mud, sand, and high and low temperatures. Bearings are easily invaded by dust and dirt, which affects their normal use and shortens their service life. Furthermore, the lubricating grease gradually loses its effectiveness during long-term use, leading to increased bearing wear. To address these issues, we propose a tracked engineering machinery support roller bearing protection device. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the tracked construction machinery track roller bearing protection device includes an outer ring seat 1, an inner ring 2 rotatably mounted inside the outer ring seat 1, two sets of symmetrically distributed mounting seats 3 fixedly mounted on the outer ring seat 1, both sets of mounting seats 3 being movably sleeved with the inner ring 2, a mounting ring 4 rotatably mounted inside the mounting seat 3, a gear ring 5 sleeved on the mounting ring 4, multiple sets of annularly distributed protective plates 6 provided inside the mounting seat 3, multiple sets of protective plates 6 being rotatably connected to the mounting seat 3 through mounting shafts 7, multiple sets of first gears 8 being sleeved on the multiple sets of mounting shafts 7, multiple sets of first gears 8 being meshed with the gear ring 5, two sets of symmetrically distributed limiting rings 40 sleeved on the inner ring 2 about the protective plates 6, an oil injection pipe 22 fixedly mounted on the outer ring seat 1, an oil storage tank 23 fixedly mounted on the oil injection pipe 22, and an outer ring roller bearing bearing protection device. An oil drain pipe 35 is fixedly installed below the ring seat 1. The mounting seat 3 is fixedly installed on the outer ring sleeve by bolts and other connecting parts. The protective plate 6 is aligned with the limiting ring 40. The mounting shaft 7 in the mounting seat 3 rotates, driving the first gear 8 to rotate. In conjunction with the gear ring 5 and the mounting ring 4, multiple sets of protective plates 6 rotate synchronously until the protective plate 6 is in contact with the outer wall of the inner ring 2, thus covering the joint between the outer ring seat 1 and the inner ring 2. During use, this effectively prevents dust and sand from entering between the outer ring seat 1 and the inner ring 2. Two sets of symmetrically distributed ratchet wheels 9 are sleeved on the mounting shaft 7 below. The mounting seat 3 has two sets of pawls 10 that mesh with the ratchet wheels 9. Both sets of pawls 10 are rotatably connected to the mounting seat 3 through rotating rods 11. Both sets of rotating rods 11 are sleeved with first torsion springs 12. Two ends of a torsion spring 12 are fixedly connected to a pawl 10 and a mounting base 3, respectively. Two sets of second gears 13 are sleeved on each of the two sets of rotating rods 11. Two sets of second racks 14, meshing with the second gears 13, are slidably installed inside the mounting base 3. A sliding rod 16 is fixedly installed inside the mounting base 3. The two sets of second racks 14 are fixedly connected by a connecting frame 15. The connecting frame 15 is slidably sleeved with the sliding rod 16. A third spring 17 is sleeved on the sliding rod 16. The two ends of the third spring 17 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 15 and the mounting base 3, respectively. A positioning block 18 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 15. Fixed rods 19, corresponding to the positioning blocks 18, are fixedly installed inside the mounting base 3. Two sets of symmetrically distributed clips 20 are sleeved on the fixed rods 19. Both sets of clips 20 are connected to the positioning blocks. 18. A movable latch is connected to a fixed rod 19, and a second torsion spring 21 is sleeved on the fixed rod 19. The two ends of the second torsion spring 21 are fixedly connected to the bracket 20 and the fixed rod 19, respectively. After the multiple sets of protective plates 6 are closed, the two sets of pawls 10 are engaged with the corresponding ratchet 9, thereby limiting the position of the mounting shaft 7 below. The multiple sets of protective plates 6 cannot be opened to prevent the protective plates 6 from loosening during the use of the bearing. When it is necessary to disassemble the protective device, the two sets of racks 14 are pulled by the connecting bracket 15, which works with the second gear 13 to deflect the rotating rod 11 and the pawls 10 on the rotating rod 11, so that the pawls 10 are away from the corresponding ratchet 9. At this time, the mounting shaft 7 can rotate, and the multiple sets of protective plates 6 can be rotated open to facilitate the disassembly of the mounting base 3 and the protective plates 6.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first fixing bracket 31 is fixedly installed inside the oil injection pipe 22, and a first piston 33 is sleeved on the first fixing bracket 31. A first retaining ring 32 is fixedly installed inside the oil injection pipe 22, and the first piston 33 is movably engaged with the first retaining ring 32. Two sets of symmetrically distributed first springs 34 are sleeved on the first fixing bracket 31, and the two ends of the first springs 34 are fixedly connected to the first retaining ring 32 and the first fixing bracket 31, respectively. A second fixing bracket 36 is fixedly installed inside the oil discharge pipe 35, and a second piston 38 is sleeved on the second fixing bracket 36. A second retaining ring 37 is fixedly installed inside the oil discharge pipe 35, and the second piston 38 is movably engaged with the second retaining ring 37. Two sets of symmetrically distributed second springs 39 are sleeved on the frame 36. The two ends of the second springs 39 are fixedly connected to the second retaining ring 37 and the second fixed frame 36, respectively. An installation rod 24 is fixedly installed on the oil injection pipe 22. A telescopic rod 25 is slidably installed inside the installation rod 24. A piston rod 26 is slidably installed inside the telescopic rod 25, and the piston rod 26 is fitted against the inner wall of the oil injection pipe 22. A screw 27 is rotatably installed inside the installation rod 24. A screw tube 28 is rotatably installed inside the telescopic rod 25. The screw 27 passes through the telescopic rod 25 and is threadedly connected to it. The screw tube 28 passes through the piston rod 26 and is threadedly connected to it. Two sets of... The screw tube 28 is provided with two sets of symmetrically distributed locking blocks 30, which are arranged correspondingly to the locking slots 29. The screw tube 28 is slidably connected to the screw rod 27 through the locking blocks 30. A certain amount of lubricating oil can be added to the oil storage tank 23. When the motor in the mounting rod 24 drives the screw rod 27 to rotate, the screw tube 28 rotates accordingly under the limiting action of the locking blocks 30 and the locking slots 29. Under the limiting action of the mounting rod 24 and the telescopic rod 25, the piston rod 26 slides in the oil injection pipe 22, pushing the lubricating oil flowing into the oil storage tank 23 towards the first piston 33. When the pushing force is greater than the compression force of the first spring 34, the first piston 33 and the first retaining ring 32... Separation occurs when lubricating oil enters between the outer ring seat 1 and the inner ring 2, enhancing the lubrication inside the bearing. When the lubricating oil in the bearing reaches a certain amount, the old lubricating oil enters the drain pipe 35 and squeezes the second spring 39, causing the second piston 38 to separate from the second retaining ring 37. The old lubricating oil flows out, and the piston rod 26 is recovered. The lubricating oil flowing into the oil filling pipe 22 from the oil reservoir 23 is no longer squeezed and pushed. Under the action of the first spring 34, the first piston 33 returns to engage with the first retaining ring 32, the oil filling pipe 22 closes, and no more oil enters the bearing. Under the action of the second spring 39, the second piston 38 returns to engage with the second retaining ring 37, and the drain pipe 35 no longer discharges oil.

[0024] This utility model provides a protective device for the bearings of tracked engineering machinery support rollers. The specific working principle is as follows: The mounting base 3 is fixedly installed on the outer ring sleeve using bolts and other connecting parts. The protective plate 6 is aligned with the limiting ring 40. The mounting shaft 7 in the mounting base 3 rotates, driving the first gear 8 to rotate. This, in conjunction with the gear ring 5 and the mounting ring 4, enables multiple sets of protective plates 6 to rotate synchronously until the protective plates 6 are in contact with the outer wall of the inner ring 2, thus covering the joint between the outer ring seat 1 and the inner ring 2. During use, this effectively prevents dust and sand from entering between the outer ring seat 1 and the inner ring 2. After completing multiple sets of... After the protective plate 6 is closed, the two sets of pawls 10 engage with the corresponding ratchet 9, thereby limiting the position of the mounting shaft 7 below. All sets of protective plates 6 cannot be opened to prevent loosening during bearing use. When the protective device needs to be disassembled, the connecting bracket 15 pulls the two sets of racks 14, which, in conjunction with the second gear 13, deflects the rotating rod 11 and the pawls 10 on it, causing the pawls 10 to move away from the corresponding ratchet 9. At this time, the mounting shaft 7 can rotate, and the multiple sets of protective plates 6 can be rotated open, facilitating the installation of the mounting base 3 and the protective device. When plate 6 is disassembled, a certain amount of lubricating oil can be added to the oil reservoir 23. When the motor in the mounting rod 24 drives the screw 27 to rotate, the screw tube 28 rotates under the limiting action of the locking block 30 and the locking groove 29. Under the limiting action of the mounting rod 24 and the telescopic rod 25, the piston rod 26 slides in the oil injection pipe 22, pushing the lubricating oil flowing into the oil reservoir 23 towards the first piston 33. When the pushing force is greater than the compression force of the first spring 34, the first piston 33 separates from the first retaining ring 32, and the lubricating oil enters between the outer ring seat 1 and the inner ring 2, enhancing the lubrication inside the bearing. When the lubricating oil in the bearing reaches a certain amount, the old lubricating oil enters the drain pipe 35 and squeezes the second spring 39, causing the second piston 38 to separate from the second retaining ring 37. The old lubricating oil flows out, the piston rod 26 is recovered, and the lubricating oil flowing into the oil reservoir 23 into the oil filling pipe 22 is no longer squeezed and pushed. Under the action of the first spring 34, the first piston 33 returns to engage with the first retaining ring 32, the oil filling pipe 22 is closed, and no more oil enters the bearing. Under the action of the second spring 39, the second piston 38 returns to engage with the second retaining ring 37, and the drain pipe 35 no longer discharges oil.
