Track assembly and vehicle

A track assembly is to be mounted on a drive axle of a vehicle. The track assembly has a frame, at least one leading idler wheel mounted to the front of the frame for rotation about a transverse leading idler wheel axis, at least one trailing idler wheel mounted to the rear of the frame for rotation about a traverse trailing idler wheel axis parallel to the leading idler wheel axis, and a single drive wheel assembly. The drive wheel assembly includes a sub-frame removably securable to the frame in any one of a plurality of longitudinal securement positions on the frame, and a drive wheel rotationally mounted on the sub-frame for rotation about a drive wheel axis. The drive wheel is operatively connectable to the drive axle of the vehicle. A pair of track assemblies is also described. A vehicle having the pair of track assemblies is also described.

Idler height adjustment in undercarriage system using displacement of flowable matertal
11325665 · 2022-05-10 · ·

An undercarriage system for a track-type machine includes an idler height adjustment system having piston assemblies supported in a frame, in opposition to one another, to contact upper and lower sides of an idler support element or block. A conduit connects the piston assemblies and has therein a fluid exchange valve adjustable to an open position where a flowable material such as grease is exchanged through the conduit between the piston assemblies, and a closed position where fluid connection between the piston assemblies is blocked and idler height is fixed.

TRACK ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE

A track assembly for a vehicle has a frame; a drive wheel rotatably mounted to the frame; an idler wheel mount pivotally connected to the frame, the idler wheel mount being selectively pivotable between an operating position and a released position; a lock selectively locking the idler wheel mount in the operating position; an idler wheel rotationally connected to the idler wheel mount, the idler wheel being pivotable with the idler wheel mount; and an endless track driven by the drive wheel around the frame. In the operating position of the idler wheel mount, the idler wheel tensions the endless track. Pivoting the idler wheel mount from the operating position to the released position releases at least some tension from the endless track. A vehicle having the track assembly and a method for installing an endless track having derailed from other components of a track assembly are also disclosed.

ROLLER FRAME ASSEMBLY IN GROUND-ENGAGING TRACK SYSTEM HAVING ANTI-BACKBENDING ROLLERS AND METHOD

A ground-engaging track system includes a track roller frame, an idler, and anti-backbending rollers supported by the track roller frame at locations between track rollers and the idler. The anti-backbending rollers define an idler space receiving the idler partially therein and positioned to oppose backbending of a deflection-sensitive section of a ground-engaging track.

ROBOTIC POOL CLEANER
20230250664 · 2023-08-10 · ·

A robotic pool cleaner includes a cleaning body, a drive and a cleaning roller brush mechanism. The robotic pool cleaner filters liquid and/or contaminants in a pool through the cleaning body. The drive mechanism is connected to the cleaning body, which is driven to move in the pool in a working process of the robotic pool cleaner. The drive mechanism includes a drive wheel with a first outer ring gear. The cleaning roller brush mechanism is coupled with the first outer ring gear through a transmission belt, so that the cleaning roller brush mechanism is driven by the first outer ring gear to rotate relative to the cleaning body when the drive motor drives the first outer ring gear to rotate. The robotic pool cleaner improves cleaning efficiency and reduces wear of a cleaning roller brush, thereby prolonging the service life of the cleaning roller brush mechanism.
