The inner side of the steel rim 21 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the tapered roller bearing 22, and the inner ring of the tapered roller bearing 22 is fixedly connected to a centering shaft 1. The brake assembly 23 includes hydraulic friction pads. The brake assembly 23 is fixed from the center of the centering shaft 1 located inside the steel rim 21 to the centering shaft 1 of the tapered roller bearing 22. During braking, the hydraulic friction pads of the brake assembly 23 generate friction with the steel rim 21.

[0030] Each end of the centering shaft 1 is fixed with a brake mounting component 24, which is a plate and is perpendicular to the centering shaft 1.

[0031] Brake mounting component 24 is positioned and welded according to the frame structure and specifications, and can be matched with frames of different specifications. The tires support the movement mechanism and have braking function.

[0032] The centering shaft 1 includes: a shaft head 11, a shaft tube 12, and an anti-shear pin. The shaft tube 12 has mounting holes for the shaft head 11 at both ends, and is press-fitted to the shaft head 11 before circumferential welding to ensure the load-bearing capacity and stability of the wheel set 2 under bumpy conditions. The anti-shear pin penetrates the shaft head 11 and the shaft tube 12, resisting the combined torque and bending stress on the centering shaft 1, and providing structural reinforcement at the stress peak location. The fixed support 32 can have its bearing surface and mating hole positions determined according to the upper mounting structure.

[0033] A support seat 3 is also fixed on the centering shaft 1 inside the two wheelsets 2, and the support seat 3 is configured to be fixedly connected to the frame.

[0034] The support base 3 includes: a fixed support plate 31, a U-bolt 32, and a nut. The support base 3 is assembled with load-bearing structures such as the vehicle frame, and this structure can be matched with various load-bearing frames.

[0035] Each end of the centering shaft 1 is fixed with a brake mounting component 24, which is a plate and is perpendicular to the centering shaft 1.

[0036] The brake assembly 23 further includes a fixed housing and hydraulic components. The fixed housing includes a fixed disc and a support tube. The fixed disc is a disc structure with a central through hole. The centering shaft 1 passes through the through hole of the fixed disc, and the fixed disc is fixedly connected to the centering shaft 1 through a corresponding brake mounting component 24. The support tube is a cylindrical tube, and the centerline of the support tube is collinear with the centerline of the through hole of the fixed disc. The support tube is fixedly connected to the fixed disc and is located on the side of the fixed disc away from the brake mounting component 24.

[0037] Multiple hydraulic components are uniformly fixed on the outer wall of the support tube. Each hydraulic component has a hydraulic friction pad fixed at its piston end. When the hydraulic component extends, the hydraulic friction pad forms relative friction with the inner wall of the steel ring 21.

[0038] An annular connector 3 is fixed on the inner wall of the steel ring 21. The annular connector 3 is an annular plate, and the center line of the annular connector 3 is collinear with the center line of the steel ring 21.

[0039] The wheel assembly 2 also includes a connector 3, which includes a bearing sleeve, an outer sleeve, and a connecting ring. The bearing sleeve is a cylindrical tube, and its inner wall is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the tapered roller bearing 22. The outer sleeve is a circular tube, and its center line is collinear with that of the bearing sleeve. The outer sleeve extends to the corresponding position of the brake assembly 23. When the hydraulic component extends, the hydraulic friction pad is in contact with the inner wall of the outer sleeve. The bearing sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer sleeve through the connecting ring.

[0040] The connecting ring is an annular plate parallel to the annular connector 3. The position of the connecting ring is adapted to the annular connector 3. The annular connector 3 fits into the connecting ring and is fixedly connected by bolts.

[0041] The brake mounting component 24 and the steel rim 21 form a space for the installation of the brake assembly 23. The brake assembly 23 is fixedly installed on its inner side by bolts. The brake assembly 23 is a hydraulic friction pad braking structure. It works with the connecting component 3 to generate braking force. This braking structure is responsive, has strong braking force and good handling, so that the wheelset 2 has good braking ability under working conditions such as flat roads, slopes and bumpy roads.

[0042] The centering shaft 1, tapered roller bearing 22, round nut, and locking washer are assembled to form the inner ring structure of wheel set 2. The inner ring structure of wheel set 2 uses tapered roller bearing 22 as the core connecting component 3. The inner ring of tapered roller bearing 22 is interference-fitted with the centering shaft 1, and the outer ring of tapered roller bearing 22 is interference-fitted with the bearing sleeve of connecting component 3. External threads and locking washer mounting grooves are machined at the shaft end 11. After the tapered roller bearing 22 is installed and adjusted, the locking washer is installed and the round nut is tightened. The locking washer's locking plate is bent and pressed tightly against the outer surface of the nut to lock the nut, thus fixing the bearing inner ring and ensuring stable and smooth rotation. The inner ring structure of wheel set 2 can simultaneously bear axial and circumferential forces, providing high support force and a certain value of lateral force for the equipment's load-bearing structure, ensuring the stability of the equipment during straight-line and turning travel under load.

[0043] Tapered roller bearings 22 are arranged on both sides of the steel ring 21 to meet the circumferential and axial stress requirements of the wheel axle. Smooth rotation of the wheel assembly 2 is ensured by adjusting the bearing clearance. An anti-loosening adjustment mechanism is installed at the axle head 11. The anti-loosening adjustment mechanism includes a clearance adjusting washer set 12 and cotter pins. After the tapered roller bearings 22, connecting parts 3, round nuts, and locking washers are assembled, the bearing clearance is adjusted to ensure smooth rotation of the steel ring 21. The clearance spacing is fixed by installing the appropriate number of clearance adjusting washers 12 according to the clearance installation. This structure allows the wheel assembly 2 to rotate flexibly without jamming, while simultaneously securing the bearing mounting components on both sides, ensuring the operational stability of the wheel assembly 2. Bearing end caps and dustproof inner covers are installed on the inner and outer sides of the tapered roller bearings 22 to protect the sealed space within the mounting cavity of the tapered roller bearings 22, preventing leakage of high and low temperature lubricating oil and intrusion of impurities, thus protecting the normal operation of the wheel assembly 2 under high and low temperature conditions. The inner ring structure, outer ring structure, and braking mechanism of wheelset 2 are connected and contacted through connector 3, completing the integrated design of the motion structure components of wheelset 2, which improves the running stability, adaptability and installation of wheelset 2.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting component 3, multi-claw anti-loosening washer 5, steel ring 21, hexagonal bolt, and nut are connected and assembled to form a rotating outer ring structure. This rotating structure uses the connecting component 3 as its core component. The connecting component 3 corresponds to the bolt holes of the steel ring 21, and is fixed by hexagonal bolts and nuts. After the nut presses against the multi-claw anti-loosening washer 5, the multi-claw washer's stop plate bends and tightly adheres to the outer surface of the nut to lock the nut, thus preventing loosening. This rotating outer ring structure is reliable, highly integrated, and easy to assemble, improving the mechanical performance of the equipment while reducing installation time and difficulty.
