Tracks for a snow groomer

Abstract

This utility model provides a track plate for a snow groomer. The base plate, snow grooming section, connecting section, and limiting section are all made of stainless steel. The stainless steel used is a medium-thickness plate (4-20mm), which not only increases the strength of the track plate but also increases its weight. The increased weight of the track plate is beneficial for snow grooming. The curved and rounded sections reduce stress concentration and improve structural strength. A second protrusion is provided between the two limiting sections, and a first protrusion is provided on the side of the base plate away from the snow grooming section. The first and second protrusions match the grooves on the snow groomer tire, so that the snow groomer tire drives the track plate to rotate during rotation, achieving synchronous forward movement of the track. Limiting sections are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two connecting sections. The limiting sections are set at a certain angle (<45°) with the connecting plates in the connecting sections. One end of the limiting section is connected to the base plate, and the other end is connected to one of the connecting plates. The snow groomer tire is located between the two limiting sections, and the limiting sections serve to limit the snow groomer tire.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of snow groomer track technology, and in particular relates to a track plate for a snow groomer track. Background Technology

[0002] Snow groomers used in indoor ski resorts compact snow produced by snowmaking machines, making it suitable for skiing on ice. The tracks of the snow groomer play a crucial role in compacting the loose snow. The tracks consist of multiple interconnected plates that fit over the outside of the snow groomer's rollers to compress the snow.

[0003] The tracks of existing snow groomers are too light, resulting in insufficient compaction of loose snow and a poor skiing experience. Furthermore, the existing tracks are weak and easily damaged. Therefore, this invention proposes a new track design for snow groomers to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a track for a snow groomer, including a base plate 1; the middle part of the base plate 1 is provided with an inwardly curved part 9, and the outer wall of the outer side of the curved part 9 is provided with a snow-pressing part 2. The contact surface between the snow-pressing part 2 and the snow is an arc-shaped structure. The inner outer wall of the base plate 1 is provided with two oppositely distributed connecting parts 3. The connecting parts 3 are used for connecting between the track plates. The connecting surface between the connecting parts 3 and the base plate 1 is an arc-shaped part 8. The opposite surfaces of the two connecting parts 3 are provided with limiting parts 4. A second protrusion 7 is provided between the two limiting parts 4. A first protrusion 6 is provided on the side of the base plate 1 away from the snow-pressing part 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, multiple track plates are interconnected to form a track, which is fitted onto the outer wall of multiple tires on one side of the snow groomer. The snow groomer tires have tread grooves. The base plate 1, snow grooming part 2, connecting part 3, and limiting part 4 are all made of stainless steel. The stainless steel used is of medium plate thickness (4-20mm), which not only increases the strength of the track plates but also increases their weight. The increased weight of the track plates is beneficial for snow grooming.

[0030] See appendix Figure 1 The outer side of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a snow compaction part 2. The contact surface between the snow compaction part 2 and the snow is an arc-shaped structure. The snow compaction part 2 compacts and flattens the loose snow during the movement of the tracks.

[0031] See appendix Figure 1 and Figure 3 The inner side of the base plate 1 is provided with two sets of relatively distributed connecting parts 3. The connecting parts 3 include two relatively distributed connecting plates. Two relatively distributed through holes are opened on the connecting plates. The bolt passes through one through hole and then through the connecting block and finally through the other through hole. The connecting block is fixed to the connecting parts 3 by nuts and bolts, thereby connecting the two track plates.

[0032] See appendix Figure 1 and Figure 3 Each of the two connecting parts 3 has a limiting part 4 on its opposite surface, wherein the limiting part 4 is set at a certain angle (<45°) with the connecting plate in the connecting part 3 (see reference). Figure 3 One end of the limiting part 4 is connected to the base plate 1, and the other end is connected to one of the connecting plates. A snow groomer tire is provided between the two limiting parts 4, and the limiting part 4 serves to limit the snow groomer tire.

[0033] See Figure 2 A second protrusion 7 is provided between the two limiting parts 4, and a first protrusion 6 is provided on the side of the bottom plate 1 away from the snow-pressing part 2. The first protrusion 6 and the second protrusion 7 match the tread grooves on the snow-pressing machine tire, so that the snow-pressing machine tire drives the track to rotate during rotation, and the track moves forward synchronously.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A limiting block 5 is provided on the connecting plate and the limiting part 4. The limiting block 5 is located on one side of the through hole. The side of the limiting block 5 near the through hole is connected to the side of the bolt head. In this way, the bolt will not shake when the nut and the bolt are connected, which simplifies the assembly process and restricts the rotation of the bolt during use, preventing the bolt and nut from disengaging.

[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 3The middle part of the base plate 1 is provided with an inward arc section 9, and the connection surface between the connecting part 3 and the base plate 1 is an arc section 8. The arc section 9 and the arc section 8 reduce stress concentration and improve structural strength, thereby increasing the strength of the track plate.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
