Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track roller technology, and in particular to a track roller used in excavators or bulldozers. Background Technology

[0002] In tracked construction machinery such as excavators and bulldozers, track rollers are one of the core components ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. Excavators and bulldozers typically operate in harsh environments, with track rollers often exposed to mud, dust, and other complex conditions. Furthermore, during operation, track rollers must withstand frequent and intense impact loads. This places extremely high demands on the performance of track rollers, requiring both excellent wear resistance to cope with continuous rolling friction and reliable sealing performance to prevent external impurities from entering and internal lubricating oil leakage. However, existing track rollers have the following drawbacks during use: 1. Existing track rollers use internal symmetrical bimetallic sleeves to isolate the main shaft and the wheel body, thereby assisting the wheel body's rotation. However, due to the large contact area between the bimetallic sleeve and the wheel body, the frictional resistance between them is relatively high. Under long-term operation, the bimetallic sleeve and the wheel body are prone to failure due to excessive wear, which leads to a shortened service life of the track roller; 2. Existing track rollers adopt a single sealing structure design, mainly relying on floating oil seals and O-rings for sealing. This sealing method is difficult to adapt to the sealing requirements under harsh working conditions and is prone to oil leakage. Oil leakage not only causes poor internal lubrication and aggravates the wear between various components, but also allows external impurities to enter, further deteriorating the working condition of the track roller and increasing the maintenance cost and failure risk of the equipment.
