Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rubber crawler traveling device, and more particularly, to a rubber crawler traveling device that ensures the straightness of a rubber crawler.
- a steel cord as a tension reinforcing material is provided in a longitudinal direction of an end rubber elastic body.
- the steel cords at both ends are overlapped and molded into an endless shape.
- a guide is formed at the center at a constant pitch on the inner side, and a lug is formed on the outer side.
- the length may be slightly different in the left and right width directions, the twist may remain, or the tensile force of the Stino record may differ. Is inevitable.
- FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a rubber crawler traveling device, where 1 is an idle wheel, 2 is a drive wheel, 3 is a rolling wheel, and a rubber crawler 4 is wound around these.
- FIG. 2 shows a state diagram of the rubber crawler traveling device on the ground contact surface, in which 5 is a guide formed at a constant pitch in the center of the inner circumference of the rubber crawler. That is, the idler wheel 1, the drive wheel 2, and the rolling wheel 3 travel on both sides of the guide 5, and when the vehicle and the rubber crawler 4 do not travel in the same direction, the guide 5 is driven by each wheel (1, Collisions with 2 and 3) cause the wear of the guide 5 to be large and the life of the rubber roller 4 to be short.
- the idler wheel 1 may usually be provided with an adjusting mechanism 6, and in order to correct the individual habit of the rubber crawler, specifically, A mechanism for adjusting the direction of the idler wheel 1 (indicated by an arrow) is provided.
- a mechanism for adjusting the direction of the idler wheel 1 (indicated by an arrow) is provided.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional technology, and in particular, adjusts the directionality, meandering, and the like of a rubber crawler in relation to a drive wheel, and makes contact between a guide and the drive wheel.
- the purpose is to adjust so that is normal.
- the gist of the present invention is that an idler wheel, a drive wheel, a rolling wheel provided on the ground contact surface side between the idler wheel, a rubber crawler wound around these, and a rubber crawler running on the vehicle are provided.
- the device is characterized in that the idler wheel and / or the rolling wheel are provided with an adjusting mechanism for matching the direction of the rubber track to the direction of the vehicle.
- the traveling device of the rubber crawler of the present invention has the above-described configuration, and preferably has a plurality of adjusting mechanisms in order to match the directionality of the rubber crawler with the vehicle. Therefore, uneven wear of the guide is extremely reduced, and as a result, the life as a rubber crawler is greatly improved.
- FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a conventional rubber track traveling device.
- FIG. 2 is a state diagram of a rubber track traveling device of FIG. 1 on a ground contact surface.

- FIG. 7 is a plan view of FIG. 6.
- FIG. 8 is a plan view showing a fourth example of the adjusting mechanism.
- the adjustment is preferably made at two places as described above.
- an adjustment function is provided for the rolling wheel closest to the driving wheel, the influence of the driving wheel on the guide is reduced. It can be minimized, and uneven wear of the guide can be prevented. That is, even if the adjustment is performed by the idler wheels, the rubber crawler that has passed through a plurality of rolling wheels is inevitably slightly distorted unlike the initial adjustment. Therefore, normally, the adjusting mechanism is also provided on the rolling wheel to correct the attitude of the rubber crawler so that the driving wheel is dealt with with the correct attitude as much as possible, whereby the uneven wear of the guide can be greatly reduced.
- the method of adjustment is to wind the rubber crawler, run straight for several hundred meters, know the friction from the heat generation temperature of the guide side surface of the rubber crawler, and adjust it sequentially to the optimum value based on this. Is the simplest means.
- One specific example of the adjusting mechanism is a shaft that supports a pair of idler wheels and / or rolling wheels, a connecting member that connects the base to the shaft, and a connecting member that is provided at the center of the connecting member.
- a shaft that is rotatably supported in a horizontal direction with respect to the vehicle, a frame that is fixed to the vehicle in which the tip of the connecting member is housed, and moves horizontally from both sides of the frame to change the direction of the tip of the connecting member.
- This is an adjustment mechanism provided with an adjustment screw that can be adjusted.
- the second of the adjustment mechanisms is a shaft that supports a pair of idler wheels and / or rolling wheels, a horizontal bar extending this shaft, a frame fixed to a vehicle in which the horizontal bar is housed, and An adjustment screw is provided that can move horizontally from both sides of the frame and change the direction of the tip of the connecting member It is an adjustment mechanism.
- a third adjustment mechanism accommodates a shaft that supports a pair of idler wheels and / or wheels, a vertical bar connected thereto, a connecting member connected to the vertical bar, and a connecting member.
- This is an adjustment mechanism provided with a frame fixed to the vehicle and an adjustment screw that can move horizontally from both sides of the frame and change the direction of the tip of the connecting member.
- FIG. 3 shows a state diagram of the rubber crawler traveling device on the ground surface. Note that the reference numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the figure are the definitions as already described, and the description is omitted here.
- an example of a powerful invention is one in which the adjusting mechanism 6 (adjustment in the direction of the arrow) is provided on the idler wheel 1 and at least the rolling wheel 30 closest to the driving wheel 2. Therefore, the straightness of the rubber crawler is adjusted twice by the idler wheel 1 and the rolling wheel 30, so that the rubber crawler comes into contact with the driving wheel 2 in a desired posture, and the (uneven) abrasion thereof can be extremely reduced. It became.
- FIG. 4 shows a first specific example of the adjusting mechanism 6, in which a force described with the idler wheel 1 is provided with a connecting member 8 on a shaft 7 that supports the idler wheel 1, A base end 8 a of the connecting member 8 is connected to the shaft 7.
- the connecting member 8 is rotatably supported on a shaft 91 at the center of the connecting member 8 so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction.
- the front end 8b is also accommodated in a frame 101 fixed to the vehicle, and adjustment screws 111 and 112 are provided from both sides of the frame 101.
- the connecting members 8 are moved by adjusting the adjustment screws 111 and 112, The position is determined, and the direction of the idler wheel 1 is adjusted accordingly.
- the adjustment method by adjusting the adjustment screws 111 and 112 in the A direction, the distal end 8b of the connecting member 8 is shifted in the A direction, and the proximal end 8a is shifted in the B direction. . Therefore, the shaft 7 connected to the base end 8a changes its direction in the direction B, and the idler wheels 1 also change their directions in the direction B. By repeating this adjustment, a desired posture is obtained.
- Fig. 5 shows a second example of the adjusting mechanism 6, in which the shaft 7 that supports the rolling wheel 3 (30) is extended, and the horizontal portion (extended portion) 70 rotates with respect to the vehicle. Possibly supported by shaft 92, The horizontal portion 70 is housed in the frame 102 in the same manner as in the previous example, and the direction of the horizontal portion 70 is changed by adjusting the adjustment screws 111 and 112, and the direction of the rolling wheel 3 is adjusted.
