DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The detailed description of the disclosure is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to explain the disclosure, but are not used to limit the scope of the disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 21, the disclosure provides a standing crawler self-propelled apparatus, particularly including an apparatus body 1, a console 4 and a crawler mechanism 9. A pedal 2 is flippably installed on the rear end of the apparatus body 1. An operator stands on the pedal 2 when the machine works. Output shafts 3 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the apparatus body 1. The console 4 is installed on the apparatus body 1. The console 4 is movably provided with a stroke control rod 6 and a function control rod 7. A linkage mechanism 8 is installed between the stroke control rod 6 and the function control rod 7. One end of the crawler mechanism 9 is connected to the output shafts 3, and the other end of the crawler mechanism is movably hinged to the apparatus body 1 by a height adjusting mechanism 10. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the self-propelled apparatus in this embodiment is a snow sweeper. The stroke control rod 6 is used to control the travel of the snow sweeper. During operation, the stroke control rod 6 is required to always keep a downward pressure state. The function control rod 7 is used to control the rotation of a snow sweeping auger at the front end of the snow sweeper. Toggling the function control rod 7 forward may control the rotation of the snow sweeping auger.
Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 9 to FIG. 11, the height adjusting mechanism 10 includes a height adjusting motor 11 and a swing rod group 12 hinged into the apparatus body 1. A motor base 13 of the height adjusting motor 11 is hinged into the apparatus body 1. The motor base 13 is swingingly installed on the corresponding hinged support frame in the apparatus body 1 by a hinged hole. In combination with FIG. 10, the height adjusting motor 11 is connected to a push rod 14 by a screw rod mechanism. A screw rod of the motor base 13 is connected to the height adjusting motor 11 by a gear reduction mechanism. A screw rod seat is installed on the screw rod. The swing rod group 12 includes a first swing rod 15 and a second swing rod 16 mutually fixed. The first swing rod 15 is hinged to the push rod 14. The second swing rod 16 is hinged to the crawler mechanism 9. The first swing rod 15 and the second swing rod 16 are welded and fixed by a hinged shaft 17. A stroke limit switch 18 is installed on the height adjusting motor 11 to correspondingly define an upper limit position and a lower limit position of the push rod 14. That is, the maximum adjustable height and the minimum adjustable height of a snow sweeping cover shell 46 at the front end of the apparatus body 1 are limited. A tension spring 5 is connected between the swing rod group 12 and the apparatus body 1. The screw rod seat of the screw rod mechanism is driven to move by the height adjusting motor 11, so as to drive the push rod 14 to move and correspondingly drive the first swing rod 15 and the second swing rod 16 to swing, so that the relative angle position of the crawler mechanism 9 and the apparatus body 1 changes. The crawler mechanism 9 may swing relative to the apparatus body 1 with the output shaft 3 as a fulcrum, while a crawler 35 of the crawler mechanism 9 is always in contact with the ground, so the apparatus body 1 may move up or down relative to the crawler mechanism through relative motion. The snow sweeping auger is installed in the snow sweeping cover shell 46 at the front end of the apparatus body 1. When the apparatus body 1 swings upward with the output shaft 3 as the fulcrum, the remote snow sweeping auger will be adjusted in height. In FIG. 9 of this embodiment, the push rod 14 at this time is in the upper limit position, and the snow sweeping cover shell 46 and the snow sweeping auger are in the highest position relative to the crawler mechanism 9.
Referring to FIG. 12 to FIG. 14, the linkage mechanism 8 includes a slide rod 19, a slide rod seat 20 and a linkage block 21. The slide rod 19 is slidably installed on the slide rod seat 20. One side of the slide rod 19 is in contact with the stroke control rod 6. The linkage block 21 is hinged to a hinged support frame 22 in the console 4. The linkage block 21 is provided with a linkage clamp slot 23 able to clamp the function control rod 7. During combined operation of the stroke control rod 6 and the function control rod 7, the function control rod 7 is manually pushed into the linkage clamp slot 23. The slide rod seat 20 is installed on the hinged support frame 22. A reset spring 24 is installed between the linkage block 21 and the hinged support frame 22. The operator may control the two control rods to operate in a linkage manner, and may also control the two control rods to reset, as long as an external force applied to the stroke control rod 6 is released. The reset of the linkage block 21 makes the function control rod 7 disengage from the linkage clamp slot 23. The reset of the function control rod 7 makes the snow sweeping auger at the front end of the snow sweeper stop working. The function control rod 7 may also be manually and separately pushed to disengage from the linkage clamp slot 23 for reset. Referring to FIG. 14, the slide rod 19 is in sliding fit with the slide rod seat 20 through the double rod structure, and the guiding effect is good.
Referring to FIG. 14 to FIG. 17, a slide shaft 25 extending downwards is formed at one end of the slide rod 19. The slide shaft 25 is matched with a first kidney slot 26 of the linkage block 21. The linkage block 21 is driven by the slide shaft 25 to rotate. The hinged support frame 22 is provided with a gear slot 27 for accommodating the function control rod 7. In a linkage operation state, a “7”-shaped slot is formed between the linkage block 21 and the gear slot 27. Referring to FIG. 17 (the two gear positions of the function control rod 7 are shown in the figure, and the function control rod 7 in the figure is represented by the double dot dash line), one side of the linkage block 21 is convex outward to form a guide flange (triangle), and the upper end of the guide flange forms a linkage clamp slot 23. When being manually released from the linkage operation state, the function control rod 7 needs to cross the guide flange to reset.
Referring to FIG. 15 to FIG. 16, the lower end of the function control rod 7 is provided with a drive plate 28. One side of the drive plate 28 is slidably sleeved over a support frame sheet 29. The support frame sheet 29 is fixed on a first gear rotation shaft 30 in the console 4. The support frame sheet 29 is perpendicular to the axis of the first gear rotation shaft 30. The drive plate 28 is slidably sleeved over the first gear rotation shaft 30. A compression spring 31 is installed between the drive plate 28 and the shaft end of the first gear rotation shaft 30. The compression spring 31 is used to compress the drive plate 28 at all times, so that the compression drive plate 28 is kept perpendicular to the first gear rotation shaft 30. When the combined operation needs to be manually released, the function drive rod 3 is pushed in an axial direction of the first gear rotation shaft 30, the drive plate 28 deflects with an upper end edge 32 of the support frame sheet 29 as a fulcrum, and the function drive rod 7 is disengaged from the linkage clamp slot 23. The lower end of the stroke drive rod 6 is hinged to the gear seat 55. The gear seat 55 is fixed on a second gear rotation shaft 56 in the console 4 (the stroke drive rod 6 may move in the axial direction of the second gear rotation shaft 56 with respect to the gear seat 55). The gear seat 55 is provided with a safety switch with a spring. The stroke drive rod 6 is always in a depressed state when the apparatus operates, so that the stroke drive rod 6 is always in contact with the safety switch (in this embodiment, the apparatus will shut down if the stroke drive rod 6 is released, and the stroke drive rod 6 may also be set to be released according to actual needs to stop the apparatus from moving). The drive plate 28 is sleeved over a guide pin 33 of the support frame sheet 29, and the drive plate 28 is installed on the first gear rotation shaft 30 through a second kidney slot 34. Through the above structure, the function control rod 7 may swing in the lateral direction (the same as the axial direction of the first gear rotation shaft 30) to a certain extent. The swing of the function control rod 7 may be used to make the function control rod disengage from the linkage clamp slot 23 and release the linkage operation with the stroke control rod 6. That is, when the function control rod 7 is in linkage operation state with the stroke control rod 6, the function control rod 7 may be pushed along the axial direction of the first gear rotation shaft 30 to be disengaged from the linkage clamp slot 23. The linkage state is manually released (at this time, the stroke drive rod 6 is still in the depressed state and always in contact with the safety switch), the function control rod 7 resets, and the snow sweeping auger stops rotating.
Referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, the crawler mechanism 9 includes a crawler 35, a transmission gear 36 and a support frame 37. The output shaft 3 is connected to the transmission gear 36 by a bearing seat 38. The transmission gear 36 is matched with a through slot 39 of the crawler 35. The output shaft 3 of the apparatus body 1 drives the transmission gear 36 to rotate. The transmission gear 36 drives the crawler 35 to run by the engagement of the tooth part of the transmission gear with the through slot 39. A plurality of pairs of guide teeth 40 are uniformly installed on the inner side of the crawler 35. A guide cavity 41 corresponding to the transmission gear 36 is formed between each pair of guide teeth 40. The transmission gear 36 may also guide the crawler 35. By applying the crawler mechanism 9 to the snow sweeper, the traveling transmission is carried out by the crawler, and the use range of the snow sweeper is improved. Referring to FIG. 5, the crawler mechanisms 9 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the apparatus body 1, and the two crawler mechanisms 9 are fixedly connected through support connecting rods. Referring to FIG. 5, one end of the crawler mechanism 9 is connected to the output shaft 3, and the other end of the crawler mechanism is movably hinged to the second swing rod 16 of the swing rod group 12.
Referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 6, bearing wheels 42 are installed on both sides of the lower end of the support frame 37. A V-shaped frame 43 and a floating guide wheel 44 installed on the V-shaped frame 43 are movably hinged to the lower end of the support frame 37. The floating guide wheel 44 may play a bearing role. When the crawler 35 travels, the V-shaped frame 43 may swing at any time when encountering obstacles, so that one of the floating guide wheels 44 of the V-shaped frame 43 can still play a bearing role, improving the ground holding effect of the crawler 35. The bearing wheels 42 and the floating guide wheels 44 are arranged outside the guide teeth 40, which can play a role in guiding the crawler 35. The support frame 37 is provided with a tensioning wheel 45 that can adjust the tightness of the crawler 35 The tensioning wheel 45 correspondingly falls into the guide cavity 41, which may also guide the crawler 35.
Referring to FIG. 18 to FIG. 19, a snow outlet cover 47 is rotatably installed on a snow sweeping cover shell 46 at the front end of the apparatus body 1. A gear ring 48 is installed at the lower end of the snow outlet cover 47. A steering motor 49 and a steering gear 50 engaged with the gear ring 48 are installed on the snow sweeping cover shell 46. The steering motor 49 drives the steering gear 50 and the gear ring 48 to rotate, thereby driving the entire snow outlet cover 47 to rotate circumferentially. Referring to FIG. 20, a first snow sweeping cap 57 and a second snow sweeping cap 58 are hinged to the upper end of the snow outlet cover 47. A turning connecting rod 59 is hinged between the second snow sweeping cap 58 and the snow outlet cover 47. A snow outlet cap spring 60 is installed between the second snow sweeping cap 58 and the snow outlet cover 47. An angle adjusting mechanism 61 is installed on the snow sweeping cover shell 46. The angle adjusting mechanism 61 includes an adjusting motor 62, an adjusting gear 63 and a sector gear 64 that is engaged with the adjusting gear 63. The sector gear 64 is fixedly provided with a reel 65. The reel 65 is wound with a pulling rope 66 connected to the first snow sweeping cap 57. Snow throwing angles of the two snow sweeping caps are adjusted by pulling the pulling rope 66. FIG. 21 is a perspective view of the two snow sweeping caps of which the snow throwing angles are adjusted to face down.
Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the apparatus body 1 is provided with a pedal fixing sheet 51. A locking sheet 52 is hinged to the pedal fixing sheet 51. The pedal fixing sheet 51 is provided with a locking slot 53. A locking pin 54 of the pedal 3 is rotated and clamped into the locking slot 53 by the locking sheet 52. When the pedal 3 is unlocked, the locking sheet 52 only needs to be moved upward to be disengaged from the locking pin 54, and at this time, the pedal 3 is flipped downward due to its own gravity.
This embodiment can be applied to the field of snow sweepers. Through the crawler type traveling transmission, the snow sweeping cover shell and the snow sweeping auger on the apparatus body can be lifted relative to the crawler mechanism, so as to avoid damage caused by external force when the snow sweeping auger does not work. The stroke control rod and the function control rod can be simultaneously controlled through the linkage mechanism, and the function control rod can also be manually toggled to be disengaged from the linkage state. This embodiment can be applied not only to snow sweeper products, but also to apparatuses such as sweepers, snow pushers, weeding machines, etc.
Embodiment II
Referring to FIG. 22 to FIG. 28, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment I is that the height adjusting mechanism is realized by manual operation. This embodiment provides another crawler structure, and the specific structure is as follows:
Referring to FIG. 22 to FIG. 25, the height adjusting mechanism 10 particularly includes a height adjusting handle 67, and an upper rotation rod group 68 and a lower rotation rod group 69 respectively hinged to the apparatus body 1.
