Work equipment for motor grader
A work equipment includes: a drawbar having a drawbar plate; a bearing having an outer ring which is fixed to a lower surface of the drawbar plate, and an inner ring which is disposed inside the outer ring and is connected to the outer ring so as to be rotatable in a peripheral direction with respect to the outer ring; and a circle having a circle plate that is fixed to a lower end of the inner ring over the peripheral direction, an outer peripheral-side wall portion that is connected to an outer peripheral side of the circle plate and has a cylindrical shape surrounding the bearing from an outer peripheral side, and an inner circumferential-side wall portion protruding from the upper surface of the circle plate between the bearing and the outer peripheral-side wall portion, extends in the peripheral direction, and faces the outer ring in the radial direction.
1. A work equipment for a motor grader comprising:
a drawbar having a drawbar plate extending along a horizontal surface;
a bearing having an outer ring which has an annular shape when seen from a plan view and is fixed to a lower surface of the draw bar plate, and an inner ring which has an annular shape when seen from a plan view and is disposed inside the outer ring and which is connected to the outer ring so as to be rotatable in a peripheral direction with respect to the outer ring;
a lubricant supply unit configured to supply a lubricant between the outer ring and the inner ring in the bearing;
a circle having a circle plate that is fixed to a lower end of the inner ring over the peripheral direction and protrudes outward in a radial direction of the outer ring, an outer peripheral-side wall portion that is connected to an outer peripheral side of the circle plate and has a cylindrical shape surrounding the bearing from an outer peripheral side and that forms a clearance between the outer peripheral-side wall portion and the lower surface of the drawbar plate, and an inner circumferential-side wall portion that protrudes from the upper surface of the circle plate between the bearing and the outer peripheral-side wall portion, extends in the peripheral direction, and faces the outer ring and the outer peripheral-side wall portion in the radial direction; and
a blade supported by the circle;
wherein the circle plate has a discharge hole penetrating vertically the circle plate between the outer peripheral-side wall portion and the inner peripheral-side wall portion.
2. The work equipment for the motor grader according to claim 1 ,
wherein the drawbar further comprises:
an outer peripheral-side rib that protrudes from the lower surface of the drawbar plate between the peripheral-side wall portion and the inner peripheral-side wall portion, extends in the peripheral direction, and faces the outer peripheral-side wall portion and the inner peripheral-side wall portion from the radial direction.
3. The work equipment for the motor grader according to claim 1 ,
wherein the drawbar further comprises:
an inner peripheral-side rib that protrudes from a lower surface of the drawbar plate to below the circle plate in an inside in the radial direction of the inner ring and the circle plate and extends in the peripheral direction, and
wherein the circle further comprises:
a lower-side wall portion that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the circle plate in an outside in the radial direction of the inner peripheral edge portion of the circle plate and extends in the peripheral direction, and
a bottom cover that is fixed to the lower end of the inner peripheral-side rib over the circumferential direction, and that is protruded outward in the radial direction and forms a bottom gap between the lower-side wall portion and the bottom cover.
4. The work equipment for the motor grader according to claim 2 ,
wherein the circle plate has a discharge hole penetrating vertically the circle plate between the outer peripheral-side wall portion and the inner peripheral-side wall portion.
5. The work equipment for the motor grader according to claim 2 ,
wherein the drawbar further comprises:
an inner peripheral-side rib that protrudes from a lower surface of the drawbar plate to below the circle plate in an inside in the radial direction of the inner ring and the circle plate and extends in the peripheral direction, and
wherein the circle further comprises:
a lower-side wall portion that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the circle plate in an outside in the radial direction of the inner peripheral edge portion of the circle plate and extends in the peripheral direction, and
a bottom cover that is fixed to the lower end of the inner peripheral-side rib over the circumferential direction, and that is protruded outward in the radial direction and forms a bottom gap between the lower-side wall portion and the bottom cover.
6. The work equipment for the motor grader according to claim 4 ,
wherein the drawbar further comprises:
an inner peripheral-side rib that protrudes from a lower surface of the drawbar plate to below the circle plate in an inside in the radial direction of the inner ring and the circle plate and extends in the peripheral direction, and
wherein the circle further comprises:
a lower-side wall portion that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the circle plate in an outside in the radial direction of the inner peripheral edge portion of the circle plate and extends in the peripheral direction, and
a bottom cover that is fixed to the lower end of the inner peripheral-side rib over the circumferential direction, and that is protruded outward in the radial direction and forms a bottom gap between the lower-side wall portion and the bottom cover.
