Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of baling machine technology, and more specifically, to a plunger safety wheel device, a plunger device, and a baling machine. Background Technology
[0002] The plunger is one of the core components of a baler. Its reciprocating motion pushes the straw into the forming chamber, compressing it into a square bale. Plunger rollers are mounted on the plunger and contact the guide rails on the side wall of the forming chamber, reducing friction during high-pressure reciprocating motion and ensuring smooth operation. Currently, the industry standard uses a four-roller structure, with a connecting rod pulling the plunger back and forth. During use, if one roller shaft breaks, the entire plunger will tilt, causing damage to nearby moving parts. Utility Model Content

[0034] First Embodiment
[0035] refer to Figures 3 to 5 This application provides a plunger safety wheel device, comprising: a first roller device 1 and a bushing structure 4. The first roller device 1 includes a first mounting shaft 101 and a first wheel body 102; one end of the first mounting shaft 101 is rotatably connected to the first wheel body 102, and the other end of the first mounting shaft 101 is used to extend into the first mounting hole 201 of the plunger 2; the first wheel body 102 is used to contact the track 3 and rolls relative to the track 3 as the plunger 2 moves; the track 3 is disposed relative to the plunger 2. The first wheel body 102 and the first mounting shaft 101 can be rotatably connected by bearings. In addition, the first mounting shaft 101 can be fixedly connected to the plunger 2 by extending into the plunger 2, so that the first wheel body 102 can move synchronously with the plunger 2.
[0036] The bushing structure 4 includes a cylindrical body 401 and a connecting member 402. The cylindrical body 401 is sleeved on the other end of the first mounting shaft 101 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first mounting hole 201. The connecting member 402 connects the cylindrical body 401 and the first mounting shaft 101 in the radial direction. The cylindrical body 401 of the bushing structure 4 is sleeved on the end of the first mounting shaft 101. By fixing it to the first mounting hole 201 of the plunger 2 (e.g., with an interference fit), the first mounting shaft 101 is axially fixed to the plunger 2, preventing the first wheel body 102 from disengaging from the plunger 2 when under force. The connecting member 402 (e.g., an internal hexagon screw) is inserted into the cylindrical body 402 and the first mounting shaft 101 in the radial direction and is completely recessed into the first mounting hole 201 for welding, thereby locking the two together, limiting the radial displacement of the first mounting shaft 101 relative to the cylindrical body 401, ensuring the stability of the axis of the first wheel body 102 when rolling, and avoiding shaking.
[0037] In conjunction with the above embodiments, a first roller device 1 is added to the original plunger structure with four rollers. During use, even if one roller shaft breaks, the entire plunger 2 will not tilt significantly, and normal operation will not be affected even if a roller breaks on either side. Furthermore, the entire safety wheel device, through fixing to the first mounting hole 201 of the plunger 2, axially fixes the first mounting shaft 101 to the plunger 2, preventing the first wheel body 102 from detaching from the plunger 2 under force, limiting the radial displacement of the first mounting shaft 101 relative to the cylinder 401, and ensuring the axial stability of the first wheel body 102 during rolling.
[0038] In some embodiments, the safety wheel device further includes a fixing plate 5, which is fixedly mounted on the first mounting shaft 101. A protrusion 501 is formed on the fixing plate 5 for engaging with a corresponding groove structure on the plunger 2. The fixing plate 5 is also located between the bushing structure 4 and the first wheel body 102. Through the protrusion 501 on the fixing plate 5, a convex-concave fit is achieved between the fixing plate 5 and the corresponding groove structure on the plunger 2, thereby preventing radial rotation of the plunger 2.
[0039] In some embodiments, the safety wheel device further includes a retaining ring 6; a retaining ring groove 1011 is provided at the shoulder position of the other end of the first mounting shaft 101, and a retaining ring 6 is installed at the retaining ring groove 1011, thereby fixing the axial position of the first mounting shaft 101. Combined with the connecting piece 402 used, the first mounting shaft 101 and the cylinder 401 can be radially positioned and installed, thereby achieving a stable installation of the first mounting shaft 101 and the bushing structure 4.
[0040] Second Embodiment
[0041] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a plunger device including the safety wheel device described above. By adding a first roller device 1 to the existing plunger structure with four rollers, even if one roller shaft breaks during use, the entire plunger 2 will not tilt significantly, ensuring normal operation is not affected even if a roller breaks on either side. Furthermore, the entire safety wheel device, through its fixation to the first mounting hole 201 of the plunger 2, axially fixes the first mounting shaft 101 to the plunger 2, preventing the first wheel body 102 from detaching from the plunger 2 under force, limiting radial displacement of the first mounting shaft 102 relative to the cylinder 401, and ensuring axial stability of the first wheel body 102 during rolling.
[0042] In some embodiments, the plunger device further includes a plunger 2 and a second roller device 7; a first roller device 1 and a second roller device 7 are respectively provided on both sides of the plunger 2, and the sum of the number of first roller devices 1 and second roller devices 7 on each side is not less than three. Theoretically, the more first roller devices 1 and second roller devices 7 on each side of the plunger 2, the more reliable the plunger 2 will be. However, considering the overall installation space and cost, the sum of the number of first roller devices 1 and second roller devices 7 on each side of the plunger 2 is three, that is, one first roller device 1 and two second roller devices 7.
[0043] In some embodiments, the second roller device 7 includes a first mounting shaft and a second wheel body. The axes of the plurality of second mounting shafts are parallel, and the axis of each second mounting shaft is parallel to the axis of the first mounting shaft 101. The second wheel body is rotatably connected to one end of the corresponding second mounting shaft, and the other end of the second mounting shaft is fixedly connected to the plunger 2. This ensures smooth rotation of the plurality of first wheel bodies 102 and the second wheel body.
[0044] In some embodiments, the plunger device further includes a track assembly; the track assembly includes two tracks 3, respectively disposed on both sides of the plunger 2, with each first wheel 102 and second wheel in contact with the corresponding track 3. When the plunger 2 reciprocates, each first wheel 102 and second wheel rolls on the corresponding track 3.
[0045] In some embodiments, the plunger device further includes a connecting rod structure 8, which is connected to a connecting structure at one end of the plunger 2. The connecting structure is, for example, a pin 9. The connecting rod in the connecting rod structure is hinged to one end of the plunger 2 via the pin 9. A driver moves the connecting rod, thereby causing the plunger 2 to move.
[0046] Third Embodiment
[0047] This application provides a baling machine including the plunger device described above. The baling machine also includes a driver for moving the plunger 2. By adding a first roller device 1 to the existing plunger structure with four rollers, even if one roller shaft breaks during use, the entire plunger 2 will not tilt significantly, ensuring normal operation is not affected even if a roller breaks on either side. Furthermore, the entire safety wheel device, through fixing to the first mounting hole 201 of the plunger 2, axially fixes the first mounting shaft 101 to the plunger 2, preventing the first wheel body 102 from detaching from the plunger 2 under force, limiting the radial displacement of the first mounting shaft 101 relative to the cylinder 401, and ensuring the axial stability of the first wheel body 102 during rolling.
[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
