As a core load-bearing component that directly contacts the ground, the wear problem of sweeper suction nozzle walking wheels has long plagued the industry—not only leading to frequent replacements and increased maintenance costs but also potentially causing fluctuations in the suction nozzle's ground clearance due to uneven wheel diameter, reducing cleaning efficiency (missed areas, decreased suction effect), and in extreme cases, even scratching the road surface (exposing the metal wheel core).

Through statistical analysis and failure assessment of 100 municipal sweeper trucks (operating hours 2000-8000 hours), the root causes of wear can be summarized into four categories, with their impact weights as follows:
| Root Cause of Wear | Impact Weight | Typical Manifestation | Data Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poor Material Compatibility | 45% | Rubber wheel cracking/scratching, polyurethane wheel brittle wear | Ordinary rubber wheels have an average lifespan of only 800-1200 hours |
| Structural Design Defects | 25% | Excessive single-wheel load, lack of buffer mechanism, impurities stuck in the wheel rim | When the single-wheel load is >60kg, the wear rate increases by 2.3 times |
| Insufficient Adaptability to Working Conditions | 20% | Abrasive wear from rough road surfaces, corrosion and aging on waterlogged surfaces | On rough surfaces, the lifespan of wheels is 50% shorter than on asphalt |
| Lack of Maintenance and Management | 10% | Insufficient axle lubrication, foreign object jamming, failure to replace wheels within lifespan | Unlubricated axles lead to an uneven wear rate of up to 40% for wheels |

Key Conclusion: Solving wear problems requires a systematic breakthrough from four dimensions: material upgrades, structural optimization, operating condition adaptation, and intelligent maintenance, rather than simply replacing individual parts.
