Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of iron tooth technology, and more specifically, to a balanced track iron tooth. Background Technology
[0002] Track teeth, as an important component of tracks, play a crucial role in the normal operation of tracked equipment. They increase the friction between the tracks and the ground, improving the equipment's traction and making it more stable and reliable when climbing slopes, turning, and traversing complex terrain such as mud and sand. At the same time, track teeth also help distribute the equipment's weight, reducing pressure on the ground and lowering the risk of the tracks getting stuck.
[0003] However, existing track teeth have some problems in actual use: due to significant differences in different working environments and conditions, track teeth will experience uneven wear over long-term use. For example, when operating on rugged mountainous terrain, the outer teeth may experience more friction and impact, leading to accelerated wear; while in scenarios with frequent turns, the inner teeth will also bear greater pressure, resulting in uneven wear. This uneven wear will disrupt the track balance, causing problems such as shaking and deviation during operation, which not only affects the equipment's working efficiency and operational stability but also increases maintenance costs and safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a balanced track iron tooth that is simple in structure, wear-resistant, and high in strength.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a balanced track tooth, comprising a track body, the track body comprising a bridge plate, wing plates extending from both ends of the bridge plate, and a tooth body perpendicularly connected to the bridge plate, the tooth body having a symmetrical trapezoidal structure and an inclined guide surface on its top side, the two wing plates forming an I-shaped support structure with the bridge plate, the tooth body having a first reinforcing rib and a second reinforcing rib on both sides, and the wing plates having anti-slip shock absorbers.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the anti-detachment shock absorber has protrusions diagonally, and the protrusions are configured such that when two adjacent track pieces are spliced together, each protrusion can lock with the other.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom of the tooth body is connected to the bridge plate by a circular arc transition.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the width of the second reinforcing rib is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the width of the first reinforcing rib.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: each edge of the wing plate is provided with an arc-shaped mud guide groove, the groove depth of which is 2-4mm.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. In the balanced track teeth, the I-beam support structure formed by the two flanges and the bridge plate greatly enhances the overall stability of the track body. During the operation of tracked equipment, it will bear forces from different directions. The I-beam support structure acts like a sturdy skeleton, evenly distributing these forces and avoiding localized stress concentration. The first and second reinforcing ribs on both sides of the tooth body further enhance its strength and stability. When the tooth body contacts the ground, it will be subjected to significant impact and friction forces. The reinforcing ribs effectively enhance the tooth body's resistance to deformation. The anti-slip shock absorbers on the flanges play a crucial role. During track operation, due to road bumps and vibrations, the track may loosen or even fall off. The anti-slip shock absorbers effectively prevent this from happening. They increase the friction between the flanges and other components, making the track more securely installed on the equipment. Simultaneously, the anti-slip shock absorbers also have a shock absorption function, absorbing and buffering the vibrations generated by the track during operation, reducing the impact of vibration on the equipment and operators. The tooth body has a symmetrical trapezoidal structure and an inclined guide surface that decomposes longitudinal forces, reducing vertical impact loads during travel and effectively improving load-bearing stability when crossing obstacles.
[0012] 2. The diagonally positioned protrusions on the anti-slip shock absorber interlock with each other when adjacent track pieces are joined, greatly improving the stability of the track joint and making the entire track system a more stable and reliable whole. This reduces the risk of track loosening and detachment, improving the safety and stability of equipment operation. During the operation of tracked equipment, the tracks need to withstand complex and variable forces. If the track joint is not secure, it is easy for it to loosen or detach, affecting the normal operation of the equipment and even leading to safety accidents.
[0013] 3. During track operation, the tooth body is in direct contact with the ground, bearing enormous impact and friction forces. When the bottom of the tooth body and the bridge plate are connected by a rounded transition, the stress concentration phenomenon caused by traditional right-angle connections can be avoided. Stress concentration can easily lead to fatigue damage in localized areas of the material, resulting in cracks or even fracture. The width of the second reinforcing rib is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the width of the first reinforcing rib. Typically, the first reinforcing rib bears greater stress, and a wider rib can provide stronger support, ensuring the strength of the tooth body in critical areas. The second reinforcing rib, on the other hand, bears relatively less stress, and its narrower width meets certain support requirements while preventing excessive material usage. When the track operates in muddy or wet environments, dirt easily adheres to the track.
[0014] 4. The arc-shaped mud guide trough provides an effective discharge channel for the mud. During the rotation of the track, the mud attached to the wing plate will be quickly discharged along the arc-shaped mud guide trough under the action of centrifugal force and its own gravity. The appropriate trough depth (2-4mm) can ensure that there is enough space to accommodate and guide the mud discharge, and will not weaken the structural strength of the wing plate due to the trough being too deep.

[0018] Reference Figures 1 to 2 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.
[0019] 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.
[0020] 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.
[0021] Figures 1 to 2The diagram shows a balanced track tooth, comprising a track body, which includes a bridge plate 1, wing plates 2 extending from both ends of the bridge plate 1, and tooth bodies 3 perpendicularly connected to the bridge plate 1. The tooth body 3 has a symmetrical trapezoidal structure and an inclined guide surface on its top side. By decomposing longitudinal forces, it reduces the vertical impact load during movement and effectively improves the load-bearing stability when crossing obstacles. The two wing plates 2 and the bridge plate 1 form an I-shaped support structure, which greatly enhances the overall stability of the track body. During the operation of the tracked equipment, it will be subjected to forces from different directions. The I-shaped support structure acts like a sturdy skeleton, which can evenly distribute these forces and avoid local stress concentration. The tooth body 3 has a first reinforcing rib 4 and a second reinforcing rib 5 on both sides, which further improves the strength and stability of the tooth body 3. When the tooth body 3 is in contact with the ground, it will be subjected to a large impact force and friction force. The presence of the reinforcing ribs can effectively enhance the deformation resistance of the tooth body 3. Each of the wing plates 2 is equipped with an anti-slip shock absorber 6. During track operation, due to road bumps and vibrations, the track may become loose or even fall off. The anti-slip shock absorber 6 can effectively prevent this from happening. It increases the friction between the wing plate 2 and other components, making the track more securely installed on the equipment. At the same time, the anti-slip shock absorber 6 also has a shock absorption function, which can absorb and buffer the vibration generated by the track during operation, reducing the impact of vibration on the equipment and operators.
[0022] The anti-slip shock absorber has protrusions at six opposite corners. These protrusions are configured to lock together when two adjacent track pieces are joined, greatly improving the stability of the track joint and making the entire track system a more stable and reliable whole. This reduces the risk of track loosening and detachment, and improves the safety and stability of equipment operation. During the operation of tracked equipment, the tracks need to withstand complex and variable forces. If the track joint is not secure, it is easy for it to loosen or detach, affecting the normal operation of the equipment and even leading to safety accidents.
[0023] The bottom of the tooth body 3 is connected to the bridge plate 1 by a circular arc transition. When the track is running, the tooth body 3 is in direct contact with the ground and bears huge impact and friction. The circular arc transition connection can avoid the stress concentration phenomenon caused by the traditional right angle connection. Stress concentration can easily lead to fatigue damage of the material in a local area, which can then cause cracks or even breakage.
[0024] When the width of the second reinforcing rib 5 is less than half the width of the first reinforcing rib 4, the supporting strength decreases, which also reduces the overall structural strength of the tooth body 3. When the width of the second reinforcing rib 5 is greater than two-thirds the width of the first reinforcing rib 4, the supporting strength requirement has been fully met, wasting resources and increasing costs. Therefore, the optimal width of the second reinforcing rib 5 is between half and two-thirds the width of the first reinforcing rib 4. Typically, the first reinforcing rib 4 bears greater stress, and a wider reinforcing rib can provide stronger supporting force to ensure the strength of the tooth body 3 in critical areas. Meanwhile, the second reinforcing rib 5 bears relatively less stress, and a narrower width can meet certain supporting requirements while avoiding excessive use of materials.
[0025] Both of the aforementioned wing plates 2 have arc-shaped mud guide grooves along their edges. When the tracks operate in muddy or wet environments, mud easily adheres to the tracks. The arc-shaped mud guide grooves provide an effective discharge channel for the mud. During track rotation, the mud adhering to the wing plate 2 will be quickly discharged along the arc-shaped mud guide grooves under the action of centrifugal force and its own gravity. A suitable groove depth (2-4mm) ensures that there is enough space to accommodate and guide the mud discharge without weakening the structural strength of the wing plate 2 due to excessive groove depth.
[0026] 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.
