Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to guide wheel tooling, and more specifically, to a guide wheel device that is easy to install and adjust. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial sectors such as metallurgy, ports, and heavy machinery manufacturing, overhead cranes serve as core material handling equipment, undertaking critical tasks such as raw material transfer, production line connection, and finished product hoisting. The guide wheel device of its traveling mechanism directly determines the crane's operating accuracy and stability. The guide wheels must precisely conform to the track, withstand dynamic loads of several tons, and maintain axial positioning accuracy under complex working conditions. Traditional guide wheel devices consist of multiple fixed components, making installation or replacement inconvenient. Furthermore, after long-term use, the track may wear down, requiring adjustment of the gap between the guide wheels and the track. However, because the guide wheel shaft position is fixed, adjustment is impossible, thus affecting the stability of hoisting.
[0003] Utility model CN201932828U discloses a novel elastic guide wheel, which includes a fixed frame, a guide wheel shaft, an elastic guide wheel, and a guide frame. The elastic guide wheel is mounted on the fixed frame via the guide wheel shaft, and the guide frame is fitted inside the fixed frame, with the elastic guide wheel in contact with the guide frame. The guide wheel shaft is fixed by a guide wheel seat and bolts, and includes a pressure plate and a disc spring in the middle. Furthermore, the guide wheel shaft has locating stop surfaces at both ends and bushings on both sides. Its assembly components are numerous, making installation or replacement inconvenient. Moreover, because the fixed frame is rigidly connected to the guide wheel shaft, the disc spring only serves a buffering function and cannot adjust the gap between the guide wheel and the track.
