Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, and in particular to a pin hinge structure and engineering machinery. Background Technology

[0002] Mining trucks are essential equipment used in large mines and engineering operations, and their structural systems directly affect their performance and safety. Among these, the pin-hinged joint system is a key component of mining trucks, and its design and manufacturing quality are crucial to the overall operation of the equipment.

[0003] Traditional pin-and-sleeve hinge structures present several challenges in practical applications. For instance, while the existing hinged joint between the pin and bushing can withstand high loads, the wear rate of both the pin and bushing is significantly accelerated in harsh mining environments due to the corrosive effects of dust, moisture, and harmful gases, as well as vibration and impact. Furthermore, traditional lubrication systems often suffer from drawbacks such as dust entering the friction pair surface, disrupting the lubricating oil film, and easy grease loss, further exacerbating pin wear. To address these issues, the industry has been exploring new pin-and-sleeve hinge structure designs. For example, some designs attempt to incorporate polyurethane elastomers at the pin head to improve cushioning performance. However, these improvements still cannot completely solve the durability and lubrication problems in harsh environments. Therefore, developing a new pin-and-sleeve hinge structure system for mining trucks that can effectively extend pin service life and improve lubrication is of significant practical importance.

[0035] This embodiment provides a pin-hinged structure. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the pin-shaft hinge structure includes a mounting base 1, a pin 2, a thrust rod 3, and a dustproof assembly 4. The pin 2 is mounted on the mounting base 1. A bearing 21 is sleeved on the pin 2, and the sleeved end of the thrust rod 3 is sleeved on the bearing 21, allowing the thrust rod 3 to be rotatably connected to the pin 2 via the bearing 21. The dustproof assembly 4 is sleeved on the pin 2 and at least partially extends into the sleeved end of the thrust rod 3. The dustproof assembly 4, the thrust rod 3, the bearing 21, and the pin 2 together form a lubrication space for storing grease.

[0036] In this embodiment, by providing a dustproof component 4, the dustproof component 4, together with the thrust rod 3, bearing 21, and pin 2, forms a lubrication space. This lubrication space allows for proper storage of grease, thereby lubricating the bearing 21 and pin 2, preventing grease exposure to the outside environment, greatly improving grease storage capacity and usage efficiency, and avoiding grease waste. Furthermore, the dustproof component 4 seals the gaps between the pin 2, mounting base 1, and thrust rod 3, reducing the entry of external dust and preventing it from entering the friction pair surfaces.

[0037] In this embodiment, the dustproof assembly 4 includes a retaining ring 41 and a dustproof ring 42. The retaining ring 41 is sleeved on the pin 2, and the dustproof ring 42 is sleeved on the retaining ring 41. The dustproof ring 42 partially extends into and abuts against the sleeved end of the thrust rod 3. The retaining ring 41, the dustproof ring 42, the thrust rod 3, the bearing 21, and the pin 2 together form the lubrication space. Specifically, during assembly, the retaining ring 41 is first sleeved onto the pin 2, and then the dustproof ring 42 is sleeved onto the retaining ring 41. The inner peripheral wall of the dustproof ring 42 is in close contact with the outer peripheral wall of the retaining ring 41, thereby completing the installation of the dustproof assembly 4. Specifically, the dustproof ring 42 partially extends into the sleeved end of the thrust rod 3 and abuts against the sleeved end of the thrust rod 3. Furthermore, the combination of the retaining ring 41 and the dustproof ring 42 seals the gaps between the pin 2, the mounting base 1, and the thrust rod 3, reducing the entry of external dust and preventing external dust from entering the friction pair surface.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inner peripheral wall of the dustproof ring 42 is in close contact with the outer peripheral wall of the retaining ring 41, and both the inner peripheral wall of the dustproof ring 42 and the outer peripheral wall of the retaining ring 41 are inclined relative to the axis of the pin 2. This arrangement restricts the movement of the dustproof ring 42 relative to the retaining ring 41 along the axis of the pin 2, thereby achieving an axial limiting effect on the dustproof ring, ensuring the normal functioning of the dustproof ring 42, preventing accidental slippage of the dustproof ring 42 in harsh environments, and improving the operational stability of the equipment.

[0039] In some other alternative embodiments, the inner peripheral wall of the dustproof ring 42 and the outer peripheral wall of the retaining ring 41 can be configured as a matching stepped shape, or a limiting block can be directly set between the dustproof ring 42 and the retaining ring 41, which can also achieve the effect of axially limiting the dustproof ring.

[0040] In this embodiment, the retaining ring 41 is made of carbon steel, and the dust ring 42 is made of rubber. Specifically, the bushing 22 is made of high-quality carbon structural steel and is surface hardened, resulting in high surface hardness and excellent wear resistance. The dust ring 42 is made of corrosion-resistant and low-temperature resistant rubber.

[0041] In this embodiment, the retaining ring 41 and the pin 2 are fitted with a clearance fit. This arrangement facilitates the quick and reliable installation of the retaining ring 41 onto the pin 2, and also allows the grease in the lubrication space to flow into the gap between the retaining ring 41 and the pin 2, forming a lubricating oil film and ensuring reliable lubrication performance.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting base 1 is provided with a hinge joint 11, the hinge joint 11 having a hinge hole 111, and a bushing 22 being provided inside the hinge hole 111. The end of the pin 2 is fixedly inserted into the hinge hole 111 and passes through the bushing 22. Specifically, the hinge joint 11 of the mounting base 1 has a hinge hole 111, and a bushing 22 is provided between the pin 2 and the hinge hole 111. The bushing 22 effectively separates the pin 2 from the hinge hole 111, preventing the pin 2 from directly contacting the hinge hole 111. This effectively avoids wear on the support base, reduces maintenance costs, and significantly extends the service life of the equipment.

[0043] Furthermore, two hinge joints 11 are spaced apart, and the two opposite ends of the pin 2 are respectively connected to the corresponding hinge joints 11. The ends of the bearing 21 and the thrust rod 3 are both located between the two hinge joints 11, and dustproof components 4 are provided between the opposite ends of the bearing 21 and the corresponding hinge joints 11. Specifically, the opposite ends of the pin 2 are connected to the hinge joints 11, which effectively ensures the stability of the pin 2 installation. Dustproof components 4, namely retaining rings 41 and dustproof rings 42, are provided between the opposite ends of the bearing 21 and the corresponding hinge joints 11, so that the opposite ends of the bearing 21 can have a lubrication space for storing grease and can have reliable dustproof performance.

[0044] Specifically, the hinge hole 111 includes a first hole portion 1111 and a second hole portion 1112 arranged in a stepped manner. A stepped end face 1113 connects the first hole portion 1111 and the second hole portion 1112. The first hole portion 1111 is located on the side facing the thrust rod 3, and the diameter of the first hole portion 1111 is smaller than the diameter of the second hole portion 1112. The bushing 22 is disposed in the second hole portion 1112 and abuts against the stepped end face 1113. The inner diameter of the bushing 22 is equal to the diameter of the first hole portion 1111. Specifically, the first hole portion 1111, the second hole portion 1112, and the stepped end face 1113 can form an annular groove for embedding the bushing 22, so that the bushing 22 can be fixedly embedded in the annular groove. The stepped end face 1113 abuts against the bushing 22 to provide installation limit for the bushing 22. The inner diameter of the bushing 22 is equal to the diameter of the first hole 1111, ensuring that when the pin 2 is installed, the outer peripheral wall of the pin 2 can make effective contact with both the bushing 22 and the first hole 1111, thereby achieving reliable support for the pin 2.

[0045] Furthermore, the pin 2 is fixed to the mounting base 1 by a locking member 23. The hinge joint 11 has a first hole (not shown) and a second hole (not shown), and the pin 2 has a third hole 24. The locking member 23 passes through the first hole, the third hole 24, and is fixedly connected to the second hole. Specifically, by setting the locking member 23, the locking member 23 achieves a function similar to a latch, thereby fixing the pin 2 to the mounting base 1, preventing the pin 2 from moving relative to the mounting base 1 along its own axial direction, and achieving the release and drag setting of the pin 2.

[0046] Optionally, the locking component 23 includes a locking bolt, and the second hole is a threaded hole. The locking bolt passes through the first hole and the third hole 24 and is threadedly connected to the second hole. The operation is simple and the locking is reliable and stable.

[0047] In some other alternative embodiments, the locking member 23 may also include a locking nut (not shown), the second hole may not be a threaded hole, and the locking bolt passes through the first hole, the third hole 24, and the second hole and is threadedly connected to the locking nut.

[0048] This embodiment also provides a piece of construction machinery. The construction machinery includes the aforementioned pin-hinged structure and a vehicle body, with the mounting base 1 fixed to the vehicle body. The construction machinery, including the aforementioned pin-hinged structure, thus possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned pin-hinged structure, namely, effectively increasing the storage capacity and utilization efficiency of lubricating grease, avoiding grease waste, reducing the ingress of external dust, effectively improving lubrication and dustproof performance, and extending service life.

[0049] Construction machinery can be mining trucks or other types of construction machinery; no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
