Compaction wheel cleat

摘要

A compactor cleat includes a bottom face affixable to a compactor wheel and having a perimeter defining an outline of the compactor cleat, a cutting face distal from the bottom face and radially outward from the compactor wheel, a pair of side faces extending between the bottom face and the cutting face, and a pair of traction faces positioned between the pair of side surfaces on opposing sides of the compactor cleat and extending between the bottom face and the cutting face. Each traction face comprises a bi-facial traction face that includes a first section including a sloped surface extending downwardly and outwardly from the cutting face towards the bottom face for less than a full height of the compactor cleat, and a second section formed adjacent the first section that has a concave surface that forms a transition between the second section and the perimeter of the bottom face.

1. A compactor cleat mountable on a compactor wheel, the compactor cleat comprising:
a bottom face affixable to a compactor wheel, the bottom face comprising a perimeter defining an outline of the compactor cleat; a cutting face distal from the bottom face and radially outward from the compactor wheel; a pair of side faces extending between the bottom face and the cutting face; and a pair of traction faces positioned between the pair of side surfaces on opposing sides of the compactor cleat and extending between the bottom face and the cutting face; wherein each of the pair of traction faces comprises a bi-facial traction face that includes:
a first section including a sloped surface extending downwardly and outwardly from the cutting face towards the bottom face, the sloped surface extending downwardly less than a full height of the compactor cleat; anda second section formed adjacent the first section, the second section comprising a concave surface that forms a transition between the second section and the perimeter of the bottom face; and wherein the sloped surface of the first section comprises:
a linear edge adjacent the second section that extends downwardly and outwardly from the cutting face; andan arcuate edge extending from a junction of the cutting face and a respective side face downwardly and inwardly toward the linear edge, such that the arcuate edge meets the linear edge.
