- Not Applicable.
- This invention relates to a working machine of the kind including a frame with a ground engaging lower structure including a pair of endless tracks each entrained about track supporting devices mounted by a track sub-frame.
- Conventionally track sub-frames are fabricated structures which may mount a track motor which drives a track-driving sprocket. By virtue of the track sub-frames being fabricated they are expensive to produce, requiring the assembly of many different components. Typically such track sub-frames are attached by fasteners for example to the remainder of the ground engaging lower structure.
- According to a first aspect of the invention we provide a working machine having a main frame structure which includes a pair of endless tracks, each track being entrained about track supporting devices mounted by a track sub-frame. The sub-frame includes inner and outer members interconnected by cross members. The inner and outer members are arranged side by side and mounting at or adjacent upper edges thereof, at least one upper track support device between the members. The inner and outer members mount at or adjacent lower edges thereof, at least one lower track supporting device between the members. The inner and outer members and cross members of at least one of the track sub-frames are provided by a monolithic casting of a weldable casting material such as steel. The track sub-frame or frames may be attached to the remainder of the main frame structure by welding, for optimum strength.
- According to a second aspect of the invention we provide a method of making a working machine having a main frame structure which includes a pair of endless tracks, each track being entrained about track supporting devices mounted by a respective track sub-frame. The method includes making at least one of the track sub-frames by providing a monolithic casting including inner and outer track sub-frame members arranged side by side with there being integral cross members interconnecting the track sub-frame members.

FIG. 1 is an illustrative side view of a working machine which may embody the invention; -
FIG. 2 is an illustrative perspective view of a track sub-frame of the main frame structure of the machine ofFIG. 1 , but with the track removed for clarity; and -
FIG. 3 is an illustrative plan view of the main frame structure of the machine ofFIG. 1 , again with drive tracks removed. - Referring to the drawings, a
working machine 10 includes amain frame structure 11 which includes a pair oftracks 12, one at each side of themachine 10. Eachtrack 12 is entrained about track support devices which are mounted byrespective track sub-frames - The track support devices in this example, include three
lower rollers track 12 passing between thelower rollers upper roller 20. Thetrack sub-frames mounting 47 for a track tensioning device which includes atrack tensioning element 49 which is resiliently biased so as to maintain a tension in thetrack 12. - Each
sub-frame members 26 between them, thecross members 26 interconnecting and maintaining a spacing between thetrack sub-frame members - The
track sub-frame members cross members 26 are each provided for eachtrack sub-frame lower edges 27 of each respectivetrack sub-frame member recesses support device roller - Integrally cast in
upper edges track sub-frame member mount 35 for the upper track support device,roller 20, and afurther recess 36 to lighten the casting. - The pair of
track sub-frames main frame part 40 of themain frame structure 11 between them. The innertrack sub-frame members 24 of each of the pair oftrack sub-frames formations 42, arranged in pairs. These inwardly projectingformations 42 are provided for attaching thecast track sub-frames main frame part 40 as hereinafter described. - In
FIG. 2 , it can be seen that the innertrack sub-frame member 24 of each of the pair oftrack sub-frames machine 10, beyond anedge 38 of the outertrack sub-frame member 25, and the extendedtrack sub-frame member 24 part, is provided with anopening 45. Thisopening 45 is for mounting a track motor (not shown) which drives a track drive sprocket 46 (seeFIG. 1 ) to impart drive to thetrack 12 and hence to themachine 10 over the ground. The track motors conventionally are driven by hydraulic fluid provided by a pump of themachine 10. - At least one of the
track sub-frame members mounting 47 for the track tensioning mechanism which includes the resiliently biased track tensioning element (roller) 49 which is biased in a direction to maintain a desired tension in thetrack 12. - The
main frame part 40 includes acentral portion 50 which supports a slewing mechanism, for slewing anupper frame structure 51 relative to themain frame structure 11. Theupper frame structure 51 includes acab 53 for a machine operator, carries a workingarm 54, houses an engine and cooling pack (not seen) and mounts the hydraulic pump. Theupper frame structure 51 may be slewed by the slewing mechanism relative to themain frame structure 11 about a generally upright axis A. - In this example, the
central portion 50 of themain frame part 40 supports a slew ring around a generallycircular opening 58 which receives a depending part of theupper frame structure 51 to guide theupper frame structure 51 during slewing. Themain frame part 40 further includes four connecting arms 60-63 for attaching thecentral portion 50 to thetrack sub-frames - A first pair of the connecting
arms box section element 65, whilst a second pair of the connectingarms box section element 66. The connecting arms 60-63 are each attached torespective track sub-frames projecting formations 42. Although in this example, each connecting arm 60-63 is welded between a pair ofsuch formations 42, in another example the arms 60-63 may each be welded to a single inwardly extendingformation 42, or to more than one or two formations one or more of which may extend within the fabricatedbox section element box section elements central portion 50 as indicated at W, and extend substantially perpendicularly relative to a longitudinal axis L of theworking machine 10. - It will be appreciated that particularly where the monolithic castings of the
track sub-frames box section elements track sub frames castings elements central portion 50 of themain frame structure 40 preferably is cast in steel to facilitate welding the fabricatedbox section elements central portion 50, but again may be provided in another preferably weldable material. - During manufacture it will be appreciated that by attaching the castings of the
track sub-frames main frame part 40 as described, a very strongmain frame structure 11 may be provided. - Many modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the
track sub-frame members track sub-frame track 12. Although it is preferable for themain frame part 40 to include a castcentral portion 50 and for there to be four connectingarms 60 to 63 provided by fabricatedbox section elements main frame part 40 configurations are possible. - In
FIG. 1 the machine shown to which it has been described the present invention may be applied, is conventionally known as a “mini” or “micro” excavator, because theworking machine 10 is small and the workingarm 54 thereof is configured to perform excavating operations. The invention may be embodied in a larger working machine which may or may not have a slewing mechanism for stewing anupper frame structure 51 relative to themain frame structure 11. Indeed the invention is applicable to any working machine having a pair oftracks 12.
