Abstract

[0002] Seamless load-bearing tubes, also known as telescopic beams, are used in excavator telescopic travel systems for extending and retracting. Currently, most telescopic beams are made from round tubes or welded shaped tubes, which have certain limitations in use. Round telescopic beams lack sufficient lateral support, resulting in significant swaying; welded shaped tubes have poor dimensional accuracy, and unstable clearance control can easily lead to excessive gaps, causing misalignment and friction during extension and retraction, making the tubes less durable; additionally, welded tubes have low strength, and there is a risk of cracking at the weld seams.

The telescopic beam is composed of a first telescopic beam and a second telescopic beam, both of which have a pentagonal cross-section with two right angles, arranged side by side.

[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this utility model discloses a seamless load-bearing pipe for an excavator telescopic walking system, including two telescopic pipe assemblies and a connecting sleeve 30.
[0023] The two telescopic tube assemblies are arranged linearly, with one end connected to the corresponding main beam on the excavator's telescopic travel system, and the other ends facing each other, extending into connecting sleeves. That is, the two telescopic tube assemblies connected together by the connecting sleeves constitute a seamless load-bearing tube for the excavator's telescopic travel system. The elongation or shortening of the seamless load-bearing tube is determined by the main beams at both ends.
[0024] Specifically, the telescopic tube assembly includes a first steel pipe 10 and a second steel pipe 20. The first steel pipe 10 is an inner tube with an arc-shaped notch at one end for fixed connection with the main beam; its other end extends into the second steel pipe 20 and can extend and retract relative to the second steel pipe 20.
[0025] The second steel pipe 20 is an intermediate layer pipe, which is built into both ends of the connecting sleeve 30 and fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 30. It can enhance the overall strength of the telescopic beam, improve the lateral support force, and thus improve the overall load-bearing capacity of the telescopic beam.
[0026] The first steel pipe 10, the second steel pipe 20 and the connecting sleeve 30 are all seamless steel pipes with high dimensional accuracy, which can effectively reduce the friction between the steel pipes during the elongation or shortening process, reduce the expansion and contraction force, and improve the service life.
[0027] The length of the second steel pipe 20 is less than or equal to the length of the connecting sleeve 30, and also less than or equal to the length of the first steel pipe 10.
[0028] Specifically, the length of the first steel pipe 10 is 571 mm, the length of the second steel pipe 20 is 56 mm, and the length of the connecting sleeve 30 is 578 mm. Designing the length of the second steel pipe 20 to be shorter than the length of the first steel pipe 10 helps to reduce costs and lighten the overall weight of the telescopic beam while ensuring sufficient support.
[0029] The first steel pipe 10, the second steel pipe 20 and the connecting sleeve 30 all have hexagonal cross sections, and the connection between the sides is an arc connection, with the arc angle being R10-R20, preferably R15, to facilitate the expansion and contraction of the steel pipe and reduce expansion and contraction resistance.
[0030] Specifically, the hexagonal tube includes a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge connected to both sides of the top edge, and a second side edge connected to both sides of the bottom edge.
[0031] The second steel pipe 20 and the connecting sleeve 30 have the same structure. The outer wall surface of the second steel pipe 20 and the inner wall surface of the connecting sleeve 30 can fit tightly together, and the gap after fitting is 0.2mm.
[0032] The structure of the first steel pipe 10 is not entirely the same as that of the second steel pipe 20 and the connecting sleeve 30. Specifically, the lengths of the first and second sides of the second steel pipe 20 and the connecting sleeve 30 are both longer than the lengths of the first and second sides of the first steel pipe 10. The distance between the top edge of the first steel pipe 10 and the top edge of the second steel pipe 20 is greater than the distance between the bottom edge of the first steel pipe 10 and the top edge of the second steel pipe 20. The outer wall surfaces of the first and second sides of the first steel pipe 10 are tightly fitted with the inner wall surfaces of the first and second sides of the second steel pipe, with a fitting clearance of 0.3-0.5 mm.
[0033] Specifically, the first steel pipe 10, the second steel pipe 20 and the connecting sleeve 30 are all prepared using seamless cold drawing multi-deformation technology, and the formed steel pipes are sequentially fitted and assembled into a telescopic pipe group.
[0034] The above structure and design facilitate the extension or retraction of the first steel pipe 10 relative to the second steel pipe 20, reducing the number of friction surfaces and improving the flexibility of the telescopic beam's extension and retraction.
[0035] The seamless load-bearing tube of this invention has high dimensional precision, low frictional resistance during telescopic movement, long service life, and excellent lateral tilt support, which can effectively improve the telescopic performance of the excavator's telescopic walking system.
[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
