Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of engineering machinery parts, and in particular relates to a self-lubricating guide wheel. Background Technology
[0002] The idler wheel (also known as the guide wheel) is a core component of the walking system of tracked construction machinery (such as excavators, bulldozers, rotary drilling rigs, etc.). It is mainly installed at the front end of the track and plays a key role in guiding the winding and tensioning of the track.
[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN220281530U discloses a self-lubricating guide wheel. A portion of the weight-reducing cavity of the guide wheel is carved out to set up a temporary storage chamber for storing a large amount of lubricating oil. An oil guide channel is set up to guide the lubricating oil to the oil reservoir for lubricating the main shaft. An oil control mechanism set in the oil guide channel can automatically control the amount of lubricating oil entering the oil reservoir, thereby ensuring that the lubricating oil entering the oil reservoir is not excessive. This avoids excessive lubricating oil from hindering the rotation of the wheel shaft and increasing the pressure in the oil reservoir, which could lead to oil leakage.
[0004] However, when the aforementioned guide wheel is in use, as the guide wheel rotates, the internal lubricating oil flows freely in the temporary storage cavity. The lubricating oil has an inertial effect, which generates a large amount of shaking and impact, which has an adverse effect on the structural stability. With long-term use, the connection performance at the shaft may be reduced, and local wear due to local impact may even occur, leading to lubricating oil leakage and affecting the working life of the guide wheel. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a self-lubricating guide wheel, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] This utility model embodiment is implemented as follows: a self-lubricating guide wheel includes:
[0007] The main body of the guide wheel is constructed by welding together the wheel body, the wheel rim, and two wheel cores.
[0008] An oil storage chamber is fixedly provided inside the wheel body. The oil storage chamber and the inner side of the wheel rim form a sealed chamber for storing lubricating oil. Multiple anti-wave plates are evenly and interspersed in a ring shape inside the oil storage chamber.
[0009] A lubrication chamber is also fixedly provided on the inner side of the wheel body. The oil storage chamber and the lubrication chamber are connected by a plurality of interconnecting holes that are evenly distributed in a ring.
[0010] The wheel body is also provided with multiple oil injection holes in a ring shape on the side, and an oil injection valve is fixedly installed in each oil injection hole;
[0011] The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted inside the wheel core, and its side forms a sealed oil chamber with the lubrication chamber.
[0012] The wheel frame serves as the mounting carrier for the guide wheel body and the rotating shaft, connecting it to the engineering equipment.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the guide wheel body also includes a one-way valve fixedly installed in the connecting hole, the one-way valve allowing lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber to flow unidirectionally into the lubrication chamber.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the wave deflector is configured as a plate-shaped structure and integrally formed with the wheel body.
[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the wheel frame includes two wheel frame arms, which are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft and extend to the outside of the wheel core, and achieve dynamic sealing with the wheel core through a floating seal.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] The present invention provides a self-lubricating guide wheel, which divides the space inside the oil storage chamber into multiple areas by setting a baffle plate, restricting the flow path of lubricating oil, shortening the fluid stabilization time, greatly reducing the inertial impact force during rotation, and ensuring that there is still a certain amount of lubricating oil on the outside of the rotating shaft through the set lubrication chamber, thereby ensuring the self-lubricating effect of the guide wheel.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0025] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model embodiment provides a self-lubricating guide wheel, comprising:
[0027] The main body of the guide wheel 1 is welded together from the wheel body 11, the wheel rim 12 and two wheel cores 13;
[0028] An oil storage chamber 111 is fixedly provided inside the wheel body 11. The oil storage chamber 111 and the inner side of the wheel rim 12 form a sealed chamber for storing lubricating oil. Multiple baffles 112 are evenly and interspersed in a ring shape inside the oil storage chamber 111.
[0029] A lubrication chamber 113 is also fixedly provided on the inner side of the wheel body 11. The oil storage chamber 111 and the lubrication chamber 113 are connected by a plurality of connecting holes 114 evenly distributed in a ring.
[0030] The wheel body 11 also has a plurality of oil injection holes 115 in a ring shape on its side, and an oil injection valve 15 is fixedly installed in the oil injection hole 115.
[0031] The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably installed inside the wheel core 13, and its side and the lubrication cavity 113 form a closed oil cavity.
[0032] The wheel frame 3 serves as the mounting carrier for the guide wheel body 1 and the rotating shaft 2, and is connected to the engineering equipment.
[0033] In practical application, lubricating fluid is injected into the oil storage chamber 111 through the oil injection valve 15. As the lubricating fluid is continuously injected, it flows into the lubrication chamber 113 through the connecting hole 114, thereby achieving self-lubrication. When the guide wheel body 1 rotates, the anti-wave plate 112 hinders the fluid movement in the oil storage chamber 111, thereby reducing the influence of liquid inertia on the rotation of the guide wheel body 1.
[0034] In this embodiment, the space inside the oil storage chamber 111 is divided into multiple areas by the anti-wave plate 112, which restricts the flow path of the lubricating oil, shortens the fluid stabilization time, and greatly reduces the inertial impact force during rotation. Furthermore, the lubrication chamber 113 ensures that there is still a certain amount of lubricating oil on the outside of the rotating shaft 2, thereby ensuring the self-lubricating effect of the guide wheel.
[0035] Please see Figures 2 to 4 As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide wheel body 1 further includes a one-way valve 14 fixedly installed in the connecting hole 114, the one-way valve 14 allowing the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 111 to flow unidirectionally into the lubrication chamber 113.
[0036] In practical applications, this embodiment uses a one-way valve 14 to further isolate the oil reservoir 111 and the lubrication chamber 113, which can effectively reduce the impact of the lubricating fluid flowing back and forth in the oil reservoir 111 and the lubrication chamber 113 on the balance during use.
[0037] In one embodiment, based on the positional design of the baffle plate 112 and the one-way valve 14, when the guide wheel body 1 rotates, regardless of the height of the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 111, a certain amount of lubricating oil can always be stored in the two wheel rims 12 that are one wheel rim apart, and the lubricating oil in the lubricating chamber 113 is replenished by flowing into the lubricating chamber 113 through the one-way valve 14.
[0038] Please see Figure 2 In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the wave deflector 112 is configured as a plate-shaped structure and is integrally formed with the wheel body 11.
[0039] In practical applications, this embodiment uses an integrally molded baffle plate 112 to ensure the strength of the connection between the baffle plate 112 and the oil storage cavity 111, reducing the possibility of cracking due to liquid impact.
[0040] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wheel frame 3 includes two wheel frame arms 31, which are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 2 and extend to the outside of the wheel core 13, and achieve dynamic sealing with the wheel core 13 through the floating seal 33.
[0041] In practical applications, this embodiment uses a wheel frame arm 31 that is fixed to the rotating shaft 2 and can rotate relative to the wheel core 13, which facilitates the normal rotation of the wheel body 1. The floating seal 33 provides dynamic sealing, preventing the loss of lubricating oil, extending working time, and reducing the frequency of maintenance.
[0042] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wheel frame 3 further includes a fixing pin 32, and a positioning hole 311 adapted to the diameter of the fixing pin 32 is fixedly opened on the wheel frame arm 31. Fixing holes 21 are fixedly opened at both ends of the rotating shaft 2 at the positions corresponding to the positioning holes 311. The fixing pin 32 is fitted into the positioning holes 311 and the fixing holes 21.
[0043] In practical applications, this embodiment uses a fixed pin 32 in conjunction with a positioning hole 311 and a fixed hole 21 to connect and fix the rotating shaft 2 and the wheel frame arm 31. The rigid fixing method of the fixed pin 32 can greatly ensure the connection strength and the guiding effect of the guide wheel body 1.
