Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support roller technology, and in particular to a wear-resistant support roller. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of tracked construction machinery, the track roller, as a core load-bearing component, forms direct and continuous contact with the track links. This contact relationship means that the track roller not only has to bear the enormous weight of the construction machinery itself, but also experiences high-frequency relative friction with the track links under the drive of the tracks. The resulting pressure and friction cause continuous wear and tear on the track roller surface. Even more challenging is the fact that in typical operating scenarios such as mines and construction sites, the track roller must also withstand the continuous scouring and grinding of hard particles such as soil and gravel. These particles are constantly squeezed and slid within the contact gap between the track and the track roller, accelerating the peeling of the wheel surface material like abrasives, further exacerbating the wear.

[0003] Existing track rollers exhibit significant shortcomings when dealing with the aforementioned working conditions. Firstly, rapid wear on the wheel surface is a common phenomenon. Ordinary track rollers often use medium-carbon alloy steels such as 50Mn and 40Mn2 as the wheel body material. Even after tempering and surface hardening, the wheel surface hardness typically only reaches 45-52 HRC. Under heavy loads, the contact stress between the wheel surface and the track link can reach 800-1000 MPa, causing wear marks such as grooves and dents to appear on the wheel surface in a short time, resulting in an average service life of less than 2000 hours. Secondly, the rim, as the edge support structure of the track roller, bears lateral forces during track guidance and is prone to deformation or even breakage due to material fatigue. Especially when operating on rough terrain, the rim deformation rate is more than 30% higher than on smooth roads, directly affecting the normal operating trajectory of the track.

[0032] The names of the messages or information exchanged between the multiple devices in this embodiment of the invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the wear resistance of the support roller, this embodiment provides a new support roller technical solution. In this technical solution, the support roller includes a wheel body 1 and a wheel core assembly 2 that runs through the wheel body 1. The end of the wheel core assembly 2 that protrudes from the wheel body 1 is connected to the main body of the tracked engineering machine, and it plays an important role in supporting the weight and load of the equipment.

[0034] The base material for manufacturing wheel body 1 is silicon manganese steel, which has good comprehensive mechanical properties and provides a solid foundation for the support wheel body.

[0035] A first wear-resistant coating is integrally formed on the wheel body 1 using a lost foam negative pressure casting process. The first wear-resistant coating is a composite coating on a particle-reinforced steel substrate surface. The materials used to manufacture the first wear-resistant coating include a first wear-resistant coating powder, which comprises: 40-44% reinforcing particles, 20-22% high-carbon ferrochrome powder, 8% PVB, 30-33% EPS, 2% CMC, and 0.1% n-octanol, by volume percentage. The reinforcing particles include at least one of WC, SiC, TiC, B4C, Al₂O₃, TiN, BN, or ZrO₂. The lost foam negative pressure casting process achieves a strong metallurgical bond between the first wear-resistant coating and the support wheel substrate. The reinforcing particles are uniformly distributed within the steel substrate, significantly improving the coating's hardness and wear resistance, effectively resisting external wear and impact.

[0036] A second wear-resistant coating is formed on the outer side of the first wear-resistant coating using a reactive supersonic flame spraying process. The second wear-resistant coating powder comprises 35-60% Ti, 20-50% Ni, and 12-25% B4C. The thickness of the second wear-resistant coating is 0.25mm-0.3mm by weight. The reactive supersonic flame spraying process gives the second wear-resistant coating a dense microstructure. The interaction of components such as Ti, Ni, and B4C further improves the coating's wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance, providing stronger protection for the track roller.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to replace the wheel body 1 after the end wears out, thereby reducing the loss caused by wear, the wheel body 1 includes a main body 13 and two end pieces 14 that are respectively detached and installed at both ends of the main body 13.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple threaded holes 15 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the end face of the main body 13, and multiple bolts 17 are inserted through the end piece 14. The ends of the bolts 17 are inserted into the threaded holes 15. The bolts 17 are high-strength bolts, which realize the split assembly of the wheel body 1, which facilitates the later maintenance and replacement of easily worn parts and reduces the cost of use.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple slots 16 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the end face of the main body 13. The multiple slots 16 and multiple threaded holes 15 are staggered. Multiple insertion rods 18 are fixedly installed on the end piece 14. The insertion rods 18 are inserted into the slots 16. Under the action of the insertion rods 18, the strength of the connection between the end piece 14 and the main body 13 is enhanced, the external force on the bolt 17 is reduced, and its service life is extended.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, a mud discharge groove 11 can also be provided on the edge of the end piece 14. The cross-section of the mud discharge groove 11 is trapezoidal, and wear-resistant protrusions are formed between adjacent mud discharge grooves 11. The mud discharge groove 11 is inclined around the end piece 14 at an angle of 15°-30°. When the wheel 1 rotates, the attached mud can be discharged along the mud discharge groove, reducing the abrasion of the wheel surface by the mud.

[0041] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the wheel core assembly 2 includes a wheel axle 21, bushings 23 sleeved on both ends of the wheel axle 21, and end frame 24. The bushings 23 fill the gap between the wheel axle 21 and the wheel body 1, and the end frame 24 is located on the outside of the wheel body 1 and connected to the tracked engineering machine body.

[0042] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in order to achieve a stable connection between the wheel axle 21 and the end frame 24, connecting holes 22 of different lengths are provided on the wheel axle 21 and the end frame 24 respectively, and connecting pipes 25 are provided through the connecting holes 22 facing each other.

[0043] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in order to connect the axle 21 and the wheel body 1, the ends of the two end pieces 14 that are far apart from each other are both provided with stepped holes 12, and the ends of the two end frames 24 that are close to each other are both provided with inner convex plates 27 and outer convex plates 26. There is a height difference between the inner convex plates 27 and the outer convex plates 26, and their ends both extend into the stepped holes 12.

[0044] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the bushing 23 is configured as a convex structure, and the larger end of the bushing 23 is located inside the stepped hole 12, and the inner convex plate 27 is in contact with the bushing 23.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., 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 simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0046] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other changes or modifications can be made based on the above-described invention, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present invention.
