Description

  The present invention relates to a track frame constituting a lower traveling body of a construction machine such as a crane or a hydraulic excavator.

  In a conventional construction machine such as a crane, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the track frame constituting the lower traveling body is a center frame having a round body portion 50 around which a turning device (not shown) is mounted. 51 and side frames 52 connected to the left and right of the center frame 51. Reference numeral 53 denotes a crawler belt attached to the side frame 52. The center frame 51 has an upper plate 55 and a lower plate 56 (see Patent Document 1).

  The upper plate 55 and the lower plate 56 have projecting portions 55a and 56a projecting left and right at the front and rear portions on both the left and right sides, respectively. Also, the plate 55 and the lower plate 56 are welded to the upper and lower sides of the central cylindrical portion 57, and the round body portion 50 is welded on the upper plate 55 concentrically with the cylindrical portion 57. A vertical plate 58 for attaching the connecting plate is welded in parallel to the side frame 52 at the ends of the protruding portions 55a and 56a protruding left and right. Also, two pairs of connecting plates 59 and 59 for connecting the side frames 52 are welded to the outer surface of each vertical plate 58.

  Vertical plates 60 and 61 for transmitting a force transmitted from the side frame 52 are vertically connected to the upper plate 55 and the lower plate 56 between the connecting plate mounting vertical plate 58 and the cylindrical portion 57 in the center frame 51. The upper and lower ends of the plates 60 and 61 are welded, the outer ends of the vertical plates 60 and 61 are welded to the vertical plate 58, and the inner ends are welded to the cylindrical portion 57.

  On the other hand, a connecting plate 63 for connecting to the center frame 51 is welded to the inside of the side frame 52, that is, the surface facing the center frame 51. The connecting plate 63 is sandwiched between the pair of connecting plates 59 and 59 and connected by a connecting pin 62. In a relatively large construction machine, the side frame 52 is transported separately from the center frame 51, and is connected by a connecting pin 62 on site. In this case, in order to facilitate the separation and assembly, a hydraulic cylinder 64 for attaching / detaching the connecting pin 62 is attached to the side frame 52. Conventionally, a bracket 65 for attaching the hydraulic cylinder 64 is attached to the inner surface of the side frame 52 by welding.

  Further, in the state where the side frame 52 is assembled to the center frame 51, a stopper for retaining is attached to the tip of the connecting pin 62 with a bolt (none of which is shown). In divided transportation, the stopper and the bolt are transported separately from the side frame 52 and the like.

JP 2002-255480 A

  In the conventional track frame, as described above, one connecting plate 63 is provided on the side frame 52 side for each connecting portion between the center frame 51 and the side frame 52, and the connecting plate 63 is attached to the center frame 51. Two connecting plates 59, 59 are provided so as to be sandwiched, and the connecting plates 59, 63 are connected by connecting pins 62 inserted into the pin holes. For this reason, in order to attach the hydraulic cylinder 64 for attaching and detaching the connecting pin 62, it is necessary to provide the bracket 65 for attaching the hydraulic cylinder 64 to the side frame 52, and the number of members for constituting the connecting portion increases. There is a problem.

  In addition, on the center frame 51 side, in order to attach the connecting plates 59, 59, the connecting plate attaching vertical plate 58 is welded in parallel to the side frame 52. Further, vertical plates 60 and 61 for transmitting the force transmitted from the side frame 52 to the connecting plate 59 are attached between the connecting plate attaching vertical plate 58 and the cylindrical portion 57. Such a structure can be easily adopted when the width of the center frame 51 in the left-right direction is large with respect to the cylindrical portion 57 as in a crane. However, in a construction machine such as a hydraulic excavator that needs to transmit a strong turning force and reaction force between the center frame 51 and the side frame 52, the left and right widths of the center frame 51 with respect to the cylindrical portion 57. Becomes relatively small. Thus, in a construction machine in which the left and right widths of the center frame 51 are relatively small, it is difficult to attach the vertical plates 60 and 61, and it is difficult to adopt the structure.

  In addition, the stoppers that prevent the connecting pins 62 from coming off and the bolts for fixing the stoppers are transported separately during divided transportation, so the stoppers and bolts may be lost. Therefore, there is a problem that work may be delayed.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention can be easily manufactured even when the lateral width of the center frame is relatively narrow with respect to the cylindrical portion of the center frame. An object of the present invention is to provide a construction machine track frame capable of reducing the number of members constituting the part.
