Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tracked chassis technology, and in particular to a tracked guide wheel assembly device. Background Technology
[0002] Track idlers, as a core component of tracked machinery, play a crucial role in guiding the tracks and ensuring the smooth operation of the machine. Their performance directly affects the overall performance and service life of the entire tracked machine. Therefore, the assembly of track idlers is of paramount importance in the production process.
[0003] In the traditional track idler assembly process, operators often need to manually and precisely assemble various components onto the wheel body. Then, the operators must personally support the track idler and manually move it to the stamping equipment's working area for the subsequent press-fitting process. However, this assembly mode, relying on frequent manual handling, is relatively inefficient and cannot meet the urgent need for high-efficiency production. Furthermore, the stamping equipment generates significant impact forces during operation; if operators mishandle the equipment or fail to take adequate protective measures, accidents can easily occur, posing a significant safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a solution to at least one of the shortcomings of low efficiency and safety hazards in the assembly of tracked guide wheels in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a track guide wheel assembly device, comprising:
[0006] Workbench;
[0007] A stamping mechanism, connected above the workbench, is used to press-fit the track guide wheels;
[0008] A guide table, connected to the worktable, passing directly below the stamping mechanism and extending in at least one direction toward the periphery of the worktable;
[0009] A movable seat, which is sleeved on and slidably connected to the guide platform;
[0010] A support column, connected to the movable seat, is used to support the track guide wheel.
[0011] Furthermore, the assembly device also includes a drive mechanism, which includes a first telescopic member fixed to one end of the guide table away from the stamping mechanism, and its output end is connected to the movable seat.
[0012] Furthermore, the first telescopic component is a servo electric cylinder, and the piston rod of the servo electric cylinder is connected to a slider, which is connected to the movable seat.
[0013] Furthermore, the stamping mechanism includes a bracket, a second telescopic member, and a press head. The bracket is connected to the worktable and extends above the guide platform. The second telescopic member is fixed to the bracket and its output end faces the guide platform. The press head is fixed to the output end of the second telescopic member.
[0014] Furthermore, the stamping mechanism also includes a guide rod arranged parallel to the second telescopic member, one end of the guide rod being connected to the press head and the other end being slidably connected to the bracket.
[0015] Furthermore, the guide platform is provided with a sliding groove extending along its axial direction, and the bottom of the movable seat is connected to a rotating column inserted in the sliding groove.
[0016] Furthermore, the slide groove is provided with a positioning structure, and when the rotating column abuts against the positioning structure, the axis of the support column coincides with the axis of the stamping mechanism.
[0017] Furthermore, the rotating column is rotatably connected to the movable seat, and its top passes through the movable seat and is circumferentially fixedly connected to the support column. The rotating column is provided with a locking structure that cooperates with the positioning structure to restrict its rotation.
[0018] Furthermore, the positioning structure is an irregular shape.
[0019] Furthermore, a connecting member is provided between the rotating column and the supporting column. The connecting member includes a first flange fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column passing through the movable seat, and a second flange fixedly connected to the bottom end of the supporting column. The second flange and the first flange are connected by bolts.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] This utility model discloses a track guide wheel assembly device. During track guide wheel assembly, the support column supporting the track guide wheel can move along the guide platform with the movable seat to a safe area outside the stamping mechanism. After the operator places the track guide wheel on the support column, the movable seat can move along the guide platform to the stamping area of the stamping mechanism to complete the track guide wheel assembly. This not only solves the problem of low efficiency in manually moving track guide wheels, greatly improving the efficiency of assembly operations, but also allows operators to perform installation work in a safe area outside the stamping mechanism, reducing direct contact between operators and the stamping mechanism, thereby improving the safety of the assembly process.

[0037] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0038] The present invention will now be described in detail. In the following paragraphs, different aspects of the embodiments are defined in more detail. These aspects may be combined with any other aspect or multiple aspects unless explicitly stated otherwise. In particular, any feature considered preferred or advantageous may be combined with one or more other features considered preferred or advantageous.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "inner", "outer", "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0040] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a track guide wheel assembly device, including: a workbench 1; a stamping mechanism 7 connected above the workbench 1 for pressing the track guide wheel; a guide platform 2 connected to the workbench 1, extending directly below the stamping mechanism 7 and in at least one direction to the periphery of the workbench 1; a movable seat 3 sleeved on the guide platform 2 and slidably connected thereto; and a support column 5 connected to the movable seat 3 for supporting the track guide wheel.
[0041] During the assembly of track idlers, operators must first manually place each component in its corresponding position on the wheel body, and then use a stamping machine to press the components into the wheel body. In existing technology, the stamping machine generates tremendous impact force during operation. If operators directly assemble components under the stamping machine, improper operation or lack of adequate protective measures can easily lead to safety accidents, posing a significant safety hazard. If operators manually place each component in its corresponding position on the wheel body from other locations and then manually support the track idler to move it to the stamping machine's working area, this assembly method relying on manual handling is extremely inefficient.
[0042] This utility model discloses a track guide wheel assembly device that solves the problems existing in the prior art. Specifically, the support column 5 for supporting the track guide wheel can move along the guide platform 2 with the movable seat 3 to a safe area outside the stamping mechanism 7. After the operator places the track guide wheel on the support column 5, the movable seat 3 can move along the guide platform 2 to the stamping area of the stamping mechanism 7 to complete the assembly operation of the track guide wheel. This not only solves the problem of low efficiency in manually moving track guide wheels and greatly improves the work efficiency of the assembly operation, but also allows the operator to perform the installation work in a safe area outside the stamping mechanism 7, reducing direct contact between the operator and the stamping mechanism 7, thereby improving the safety of the assembly process.
[0043] In some embodiments, the guide table 2 is provided with a slide groove 21 extending along its axial direction, and the bottom of the movable seat 3 is connected to a rotating column 4 inserted in the slide groove 21. A positioning structure 8 is provided in the slide groove 21, and when the rotating column 4 abuts against the positioning structure 8, the axis of the support column 5 coincides with the axis of the stamping mechanism 7. The cooperation between the rotating column 4 and the slide groove 21 provides stability for the movement of the movable seat 3. Simultaneously, the positioning structure 8 improves the accuracy of the movement of the movable seat 3, thereby increasing the efficiency of the assembly operation.
[0044] In some embodiments, the assembly device further includes a drive mechanism 6, which includes a first telescopic member 62. The first telescopic member 62 is fixed to the end of the guide table 2 away from the stamping mechanism 7, and its output end is connected to the movable seat 3. Preferably, the first telescopic member 62 is a servo electric cylinder, and the piston rod of the servo electric cylinder is connected to a slider 61, which is connected to the movable seat 3. Preferably, the first telescopic member 62 is fixedly disposed on the side of the slide groove 21 away from the positioning structure 8, and the slider 61 is slidably connected in the slide groove 21.
[0045] When it is necessary to move the track guide wheel on the support column 5 to the underside of the stamping mechanism 7 for press-fitting, the servo cylinder is activated first. At this time, the piston rod of the servo cylinder extends and pushes the slider 61 to slide in the slide groove 21. Since the slider 61 and the moving seat 3 are fixedly connected, the sliding of the slider 61 will drive the moving seat 3 to move together. When the rotating column 4 on the moving seat 3 abuts against the positioning structure 8, the track guide wheel on the support column 5 moves to the stamping area directly below the stamping mechanism 7. Conversely, when it is necessary to move the press-fitted track guide wheel back to the initial assembly position, the servo cylinder is activated again. At this time, the piston rod of the servo cylinder retracts and pulls the slider 61 to slide in the slide groove 21. Similarly, as the slider 61 slides, the track guide wheel on the moving seat 3 will also move back synchronously. During this process, there is no need to manually move the track guide wheel to the stamping mechanism 7, which improves the safety of the assembly process.
[0046] In some embodiments, the stamping mechanism 7 includes a bracket 71, a second telescopic member 72, and a pressure head 73. The bracket 71 has an L-shaped structure, with its bottom fixedly connected to the worktable 1 and its top extending above the guide platform 2. The second telescopic member 72 is fixed to the bracket 71 with its output end facing the guide platform 2, and the pressure head 73 is fixed to the output end of the second telescopic member 72. Preferably, the second telescopic member 72 is a cylinder, and the pressure head 73 is fixed to the bottom end of the piston rod of the cylinder.
[0047] In some embodiments, the stamping mechanism 7 further includes two guide rods 74 arranged parallel to the second telescopic member 72. The two guide rods 74 are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the press head 73, wherein one end of the guide rod 74 is connected to the press head 73 and the other end is slidably connected to the bracket 71.
[0048] When pressing the track idler wheel is required, the cylinder is activated, and the piston rod extends, pushing the press head 73 downward. As the piston rod extends, the press head 73 gradually descends and approaches the track idler wheel on the support column 5. During this process, the guide rod 74 slides on the bracket 71 to ensure the stability of the press head 73. When the press head 73 contacts the track idler wheel, pressure continues to be applied. The assembly of the track idler wheel is completed with the close cooperation between the press head 73 and the support column 5. By adjusting the extension length of the cylinder piston rod and the pressure, different degrees of pressing of the track idler wheel can be achieved. After pressing is completed, the cylinder piston rod begins to retract, driving the press head 73 upward. The guide rod 74 continues to slide on the bracket 71 to ensure the stability of the press head 73 during the retraction process. After the cylinder piston rod has fully retracted, the pressing mechanism 7 returns to its initial position. At this time, the track idler wheel can be moved back to the initial assembly position by the drive mechanism 6 so that the operator can perform the next assembly or operation.
[0049] In some embodiments, the rotating column 4 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 3, and its top passes through the movable seat 3 and is circumferentially fixedly connected to the support column 5. The rotating column 4 is provided with a locking structure 41 that cooperates with the positioning structure 8 to restrict its rotation.
[0050] In the above embodiments, there are various options for the specific configuration of the positioning structure 8 and the locking structure 41. For example, the positioning structure 8 can adopt irregular structures such as a sheath shaft or a rectangular block, and the locking structure 41 can adopt structures such as a pin hole corresponding to the sheath shaft or a rectangular groove corresponding to the rectangular block. This fit not only ensures that the positioning structure 8 can be accurately inserted into the locking structure 41, but also prevents the rotating column 4 from rotating during the pressing process, thus improving the stability and safety of the pressing process.
[0051] To ensure the movement of the rotating column 4 and the installation and use of the positioning structure 8, the width of the slide 21 is greater than the diameter of the rotating column 4, so as to ensure that the rotating column 4 has enough room to move in the slide 21 and can rotate smoothly. At the same time, this setting also allows the rotating column 4 to have a certain range of movement in the horizontal direction, which is convenient for positioning in conjunction with the positioning structure 8.
[0052] In use, the center side of the track guide wheel is fitted onto the top of the support column 5, using the support column 5 to support and fix the center of the track guide wheel. Then, the corresponding parts or bearings are manually assembled on the top of the track guide wheel. After assembly, the drive mechanism 6 is activated to move the moving seat 3 on the guide platform 2. Since the rotating column 4 is connected to the guide platform 2 and is connected to the support column 5, as the moving seat 3 moves, the rotating column 4 will synchronously drive the track guide wheel supported on the support column 5 to automatically move below the stamping mechanism 7. The positioning structure 8 on the guide platform 2 will automatically insert into the locking structure 41 and lock the rotating column 4, ensuring that when the stamping mechanism 7 performs press-fitting, the rotating column 4 will drive the track guide wheel on the support column 5 to rotate. After press-fitting is completed, the drive mechanism 6 is activated again to move the moving seat 3 back to the initial assembly position, allowing for manual assembly or other operations.
[0053] The rotating column 4 not only improves the stability of the moving seat 3 on the guide platform 2, but also reduces the friction between the moving seat 3 and the guide platform 2. Simultaneously, the rotating column 4 is fixedly connected to the support column 5, so that the rotation of the rotating column 4 drives the support column 5 to rotate. This structure is applicable to the next rotational assembly operation of the tracked guide wheel, improving the versatility of the assembly device and reducing the operating cost of assembling the tracked guide wheel.
[0054] In some embodiments, a connector 9 is provided between the rotating column 4 and the support column 5. The connector 9 includes a first flange 91 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column 4 that passes through the movable seat 3, and a second flange 92 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support column 5. The second flange 92 is bolted to the first flange 91.
[0055] When it is necessary to replace the support column 5 with one of the corresponding size according to the size of the track guide wheel, first loosen the nut to release the bolt lock, and then remove the bolts one by one to disconnect the connection between the first flange 91 and the second flange 92. At this time, the rotating column 4 and the support column 5 can be separated, making it convenient to replace the corresponding support column 5. After replacing the support column 5 with one of the corresponding size, first align the second flange 92 on the support column 5 with the first flange 91 on the rotating column 4, then use bolts to pass through the reserved holes on the first flange 91 and the second flange 92, and use nuts to lock them. By tightening the appropriate torque, ensure that the connection between the first flange 91 and the second flange 92 is tight and without gaps.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
