Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track technology, and more specifically, to a mud-removing tread track. Background Technology
[0002] In agriculture, engineering, and other fields, many machines need to operate in complex terrains and harsh environments, such as wetlands, paddy fields, and muddy roads. Traditional rubber tracks present some problems in these environments. Existing rubber tracks used in harvesters, excavators, and transport vehicles that commonly travel on wetlands consist of iron teeth fixedly embedded along the length of a ring-shaped rubber body at the drive wheel pitch. A ring-shaped steel wire cord is wound around the outside of the iron teeth, forming a tread pattern on the outside of the ring-shaped rubber body at the drive wheel pitch. This type of rubber track stirs up soil, weeds, rice husks, etc., on the ground. Over time, this accumulation increases the resistance of the walking system, increases the machine load, increases fuel consumption, affects the operation of the track rollers and carrier rollers, and accelerates the wear of the rubber tracks.
[0003] In addition, the ground contact area of ordinary track tread blocks is designed as a flat structure, which results in poor track grip and a tendency to slip. Furthermore, the ordinary track tread blocks are relatively low, making them prone to getting stuck in mud during operation, thus limiting the track's mobility. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mud-removing patterned track that is easier to remove mud and has better grip.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-remove mud-patterned track, comprising a track, one surface of which is distributed with a plurality of patterned block groups, and the other surface is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed teeth. The patterned block groups are sequentially composed of a first protrusion, a second protrusion, and a third protrusion. The first, second, and third protrusions are trapezoidal truncated pyramid structures, and their volumes are successively reduced by 1.2-1.5 times. The patterned block groups are arranged in an alternating pattern along the length of the track, and the side edge of the third protrusion is provided with a plurality of semi-teardrop-shaped grooves.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: a guide groove is provided between the patterned block groups, and a plurality of rectangular grooves are provided in the middle of the track.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: a reinforcing layer is provided inside the track, and the reinforcing layer is composed of multiple steel ring locks.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: a deformation compensation layer is provided at the bottom of the patterned block group, and the deformation compensation layer is composed of a shape memory alloy wire mesh and a rubber matrix.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the top surface of the third protrusion is provided with multiple anti-slip protrusions along the width direction of the track, and the height of the anti-slip protrusions is 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the height of the third protrusion.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the track is provided with an S-shaped groove, and the mounting surface of the locking tooth is lower than the S-shaped groove, and the S-shaped groove is located on one side between the two locking teeth and is connected to the mounting surface.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. The tread teeth are evenly distributed on the non-working surface of the track, ensuring precise engagement with the drive wheel and stable power transmission. This reduces abnormal wear caused by slippage. The volume gradient of the trapezoidal truncated pyramids decreases by 1.2-1.5 times, forming a stepped extrusion surface. During movement, mud is pushed off step by step. Combined with the semi-teardrop-shaped groove on the side edge of the third protrusion, the adhesion area is reduced and a vortex is created to quickly remove mud from the track surface, avoiding accumulation that leads to increased walking resistance, fuel consumption, and component wear. The staggered arrangement of the tread blocks expands the ground contact area, and the edges of the trapezoidal truncated pyramid structure penetrate deep into the ground, improving the track's grip on muddy and soft terrain and reducing slippage. The height difference of the protrusions increases the track's digging effect on the mud, reducing the risk of getting stuck, making it especially suitable for environments prone to getting stuck, such as paddy fields and swamps.
[0013] 2. The guide channels are positioned between the tread blocks to guide mud and expel it quickly along the channels, preventing it from accumulating in the gaps between the blocks. Combined with the squeezing action of the trapezoidal prism protrusions, this creates a dual desliming path of drainage and separation, making it particularly suitable for high-viscosity muddy environments. The rectangular groove in the middle of the track can temporarily store mud, which is then flung out by centrifugal force when the track rotates, further enhancing the desliming effect and reducing mud adhesion. The reinforcing layer consists of steel ring locks embedded inside the track to form a mesh support structure, significantly improving tensile and tear resistance. This protects against the risk of breakage caused by sharp foreign objects or strong traction, extending the track's service life.
[0014] 3. Shape memory alloy wire mesh imparts memory recovery properties to the deformation compensation layer. When the track rolls over complex terrain, the alloy wire mesh deforms due to external force and rebounds quickly after the force is released, causing the rubber matrix to return to its original shape. This reduces the decrease in mud-shedding ability caused by excessive compression of the tread blocks, and improves the track's fit and stability on uneven surfaces. The anti-slip protrusions are 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 the height of the third protrusion, forming a stepped interlocking structure. This increases fine friction points in the shallow soil area, improving the track's grip on soft surfaces and reducing slippage when climbing or turning.
[0015] 4. The S-shaped structure guides soil to spiral out along the channel, utilizing the centrifugal force of the rotating tracks to enhance the soil removal effect, making it particularly suitable for scenarios with sticky soil adhering to the tracks. The channel connects to the mounting surface of the locking teeth, simultaneously clearing soil accumulated between the teeth and preventing tooth engagement failure. The mounting surface of the locking teeth is lower than the S-shaped groove, creating a height difference that reduces soil accumulation, ensures precise engagement with the drive wheel teeth, reduces slippage or impact during power transmission, and improves the reliability of the walking system.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.
[0022] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are used in the embodiments to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0023] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.
[0024] Figures 1 to 4The illustrated mud-removing tread track includes a track 1. One surface of the track 1 has a plurality of tread block groups 2, and the other surface has a plurality of evenly distributed locking teeth. These teeth are evenly distributed on the non-working surface of the track 1, ensuring precise engagement with the drive wheel, stable power transmission, and reducing abnormal wear caused by slippage. The tread block groups 2 are sequentially composed of a first protrusion 3, a second protrusion 4, and a third protrusion 5. The first, second, and third protrusions are trapezoidal truncated pyramid structures, and their volumes decrease by 1.2-1.5 times sequentially. When the volume reduction is less than 1.2 times, the volume change is too small. A stepped structure cannot be formed; when the volume scaling is greater than 1.5 times, the volume change is too large, resulting in uneven overall stress. Therefore, within a suitable range, a stepped extrusion surface is formed, and the soil is pushed off step by step during movement. The patterned block group 2 is arranged in an alternating pattern along the length of the track 1, expanding the ground contact area. The corners of the trapezoidal truncated pyramid structure penetrate deep into the ground, improving the track 1's gripping ability with muddy and soft terrain and reducing slippage. The height difference of the protrusions increases the digging effect of the track 1 on the soil, reducing the risk of getting stuck, especially suitable for easily trapped environments such as paddy fields and swamps. The side edge of the third protrusion 5 is provided with several semi-teardrop-shaped grooves 6, reducing the adhesion area and forming a vortex to quickly remove soil from the surface of the track 1, avoiding the accumulation that leads to increased walking resistance, fuel consumption, and component wear.
[0025] The patterned block group 2 is provided with a guide channel 7 to guide the soil to be discharged quickly along the channel, avoiding accumulation in the gaps between the patterned blocks. Combined with the squeezing effect of the trapezoidal prism protrusion, a dual desliming path of drainage and separation is formed, which is especially suitable for high viscosity muddy environments. In addition, the track 1 is provided with several rectangular grooves 8 in the middle, which can temporarily store soil and throw it out by centrifugal force when the track 1 rotates, further enhancing the desliming effect and reducing soil adhesion.
[0026] The track 1 is also provided with a reinforcing layer 9, which is composed of multiple steel ring locks. The steel ring locks are embedded in the track 1 to form a mesh support structure, which significantly improves the tensile and tear resistance, resists the risk of breakage caused by sharp foreign object puncture or strong traction force, and extends the service life of the track 1.
[0027] The bottom of the pattern block group 2 is provided with a deformation compensation layer 10, which is composed of shape memory alloy wire mesh and rubber matrix. When the track 1 rolls over complex terrain, the alloy wire mesh deforms due to external force and rebounds quickly after the force is released, which drives the rubber matrix to return to its original shape, reduces the decrease in mud removal ability caused by excessive compression of the pattern blocks, and improves the fit and stability of the track 1 on uneven ground.
[0028] The top surface of the third protrusion 5 is provided with multiple anti-slip protrusions 11 along the width direction of the track 1, which increase fine friction points in the shallow soil area, improve the grip of the track 1 on the soft surface, reduce slippage when climbing or turning, and the ridges of the anti-slip protrusions 11 can cut through the sticky soil and destroy its adsorption force. Combined with the vortex effect of the semi-drop groove, it further accelerates the soil shedding.
[0029] When the height of the anti-slip protrusion 11 is less than 1 / 5 of the height of the third protrusion 5, the height is too low and the anti-slip effect is insufficient; when the height of the anti-slip protrusion 11 is greater than 1 / 3 of the height of the third protrusion 5, the height is too high and it is easily covered by mud, affecting mud removal; therefore, the optimal height of the anti-slip protrusion 11 is 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the height of the third protrusion 5, which can form an effective friction point in shallow mud while avoiding deep embedding that would cause mud retention.
[0030] The two tracks 1 are also provided with S-shaped grooves 12. The S-shaped structure guides the soil to be spirally discharged along the groove. The centrifugal force when the track 1 rotates enhances the throwing effect, which is especially suitable for scenarios with sticky soil. The mounting surface of the locking teeth is lower than the S-shaped grooves 12, forming a height difference, reducing soil accumulation, ensuring precise meshing with the drive wheel tooth groove, reducing slippage or impact during power transmission, and improving the reliability of the walking system. The S-shaped grooves 12 are located on one side between the two locking teeth and are connected to the mounting surface, which can simultaneously remove the soil accumulated in the gap between the locking teeth and avoid locking tooth meshing failure.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
