Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tracked equipment technology, specifically a track guide tooth pretensioning device. Background Technology

[0002] A track on a certain type of equipment is assembled piece by piece from over 90 track plates using end connectors and guide teeth. The bolts securing the end connectors are tightened from the top surface of the track, while the bolts securing the guide teeth are tightened from the bottom surface. This necessitates that after tightening the end connector bolts, the track must be rotated 90 degrees to pre-tighten the guide teeth; after pre-tightening, it must be rotated another 90 degrees so the guide tooth bolts face upwards, and a pneumatic hammer is used to tighten the guide tooth bolts; finally, the assembled track is rotated 180 degrees upwards and left to stand. Because a single track plate weighs nearly 10 kg, performing two 90-degree rotations and one 180-degree rotation on dozens of already connected track plates is extremely difficult and dangerous.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to provide a track guide tooth pretensioning device to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pre-tensioning device for the guide teeth of an equipment track, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a track guide tooth pretensioning device includes:

[0006] A base and a lifting slide, wherein the base is provided with a horizontal moving component for driving the lifting slide to move horizontally;

[0007] A placement platform for placing the guide tooth cover and the internal hexagon bolts is provided on a lifting slide, and the lifting slide is also provided with a drive component for rotating the internal hexagon bolts in the guide tooth cover.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this invention, the driving component is a pneumatic motor.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the horizontal moving component includes a horizontal slide rail disposed on the base, and a horizontal slide table for supporting the lifting slide table is slidably mounted on the horizontal slide rail.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two sets of horizontal slide rails are symmetrically arranged on the base.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a leveling mechanism is also provided at the bottom of the base.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the leveling mechanism is provided in four sets, and the four sets of leveling mechanisms are respectively located at the four corners of the base.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the placement platform and the lifting slide are fixed together by screws.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] During track assembly, each track piece, secured with end coupler bolts, is placed onto the conveyor rollers. The conveyor then transports the track to the pre-tensioning device station for the guide tooth assembly. The guide tooth cover and hexagon socket head caps are placed on the pre-tensioning device platform. Pressing a button advances the horizontal slide, while the lifting slide rises to the guide tooth installation position. Stepping on the pneumatic motor start switch activates the pneumatic motor, rotating the guide tooth bolts to complete the pre-installation of the guide teeth. Releasing the pneumatic motor switch and pressing the button again causes the lifting slide to automatically descend, and the horizontal slide to automatically return to its original position. The pre-installed track is then transported out of the station via the conveyor rollers. This process is repeated until the entire track is installed. This allows for direct pre-installation of the guide teeth from below the track, eliminating the need to flip the track, making it convenient, fast, and safe. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The base 2 and the lifting slide 6 are provided, and the base 2 is provided with a horizontal moving component for driving the lifting slide 6 to move horizontally.

[0025] A placement platform 7 for placing the guide tooth cover and the internal hexagon bolt 8 is provided on a lifting slide 6, and the lifting slide 6 is also provided with a drive component 5 for rotating the internal hexagon bolt in the guide tooth cover.

[0026] The driving component 5 is a pneumatic motor;

[0027] The horizontal moving component includes a horizontal slide rail 1 disposed on the base 2, and a horizontal slide 3 for supporting the lifting slide 6 is slidably mounted on the horizontal slide rail 1.

[0028] Two sets of horizontal slide rails 1 are symmetrically arranged on the base 2;

[0029] The bottom of the base 2 is also provided with a leveling mechanism 4; wherein the leveling mechanism 4 can adopt existing publicly available technology, which can facilitate the leveling of the base 2.

[0031] The placement platform 7 and the lifting slide 6 are fixed together by screws.

[0032] In an embodiment of this utility model, the traditional track guide tooth installation process is as follows:

[0033] 1) After the track end coupler is assembled, use a crane with the help of operators to rotate the track 90 degrees and place it vertically;

[0034] 2) Pre-install the guide tooth, guide tooth cover, and socket head cap bolts one by one;

[0035] 3) Manually use a pry bar to push down the upright tracks so that the internal hex bolts of the guide teeth face upwards, and use a pneumatic hammer to tighten the bolts;

[0036] 4) Use a crane to rotate the tightened track 180 degrees so that the upper surface of the track is facing up, and let it stand for 24 hours.

[0037] The following potential hazards exist during the installation process: the guide gear is lifted by a crane and the tracks are flipped back and forth by hand with a crowbar.

[0038] Analyzing current track guide tooth installation processes, and to address the issue of track needing to be repeatedly flipped during installation, this invention provides a track guide tooth pre-tightening device. This device allows for direct pre-installation of the guide teeth from below the track, eliminating the need to flip the track. The specific installation process is as follows:

[0040] 2) Place the guide tooth cover and socket head cap 8 on the placement platform 7;

[0041] 3) Press the button to control the horizontal slide 3 to slide forward, and the lifting slide 6 to rise to the guide tooth installation position;

[0042] 4) Step on the pneumatic motor start switch. The pneumatic motor rotates with the guide tooth cover and the internal hex bolt 8 to complete the pre-installation of the guide tooth.

[0043] 5) Release the pneumatic motor switch and press the button. The lifting slide 6 will automatically descend, and the horizontal slide 3 will automatically slide out to its original position.

[0044] 6) The track with the pre-installed guide gear assembly is conveyed out of the station via a conveyor roller conveyor;

[0045] 7) Repeat until the entire track is installed; the switches and related control systems used to control the horizontal slide 3, the lifting slide 6 and the working status of the pneumatic motor can use existing publicly available technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
