Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a combined linkage mechanism, in particular to a combined linkage mechanism for folding of a component. BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, the crank linkage mechanism is used for power transmission of a machine, and the load is small and will not cause local stress concentration of the machine, resulting in deformation and even damage of the machine. For the folding technology of some house structures, due to the self-weight and large cross-sectional size of the components, when the ordinary crank linkage mechanism is installed on the structural components, the deformation of the crank linkage is often caused by the large load transmitted by the components, or a large stress concentration is caused at the connection between the crank linkage and the component, resulting in local deformation of the component, thereby reducing the safety and applicability.
[0003] In engineering, the folding and unfolding of the component requires high precision, and the components after unfolding need to be closely fitted without gaps, so when folding, the junction of the two components is prone to collision. Generally, the crank linkage mechanism usually takes the contact point of two plates as the center and rotates by hinge to roughly complete the folding and unfolding process of the two plates, and cannot control the high-precision motion curve and ensure that the edges and corners of the plate will not collide, so reducing stress concentration and ensuring high-precision component folding process have become technical problems to be solved. SUMMARY

[0012] Preferably, one end of the first connecting rod is provided with a sixth bolt column inserted into the first circular through hole and the second circular through hole at the other end of the slide rod; the first connecting rod is provided with a third bolt hole connected with the fifth bolt column.
[0013] When the plate is folded and unfolded, the slide rod is driven to move horizontally on the track of the slide channel through the rotation between the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod and the third connecting rod, so that the folding and unfolding process of the component is completed.

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described.
[0036] Example 1: In this example, as Figures 1-10 As shown, the mechanism of this invention is used to fold the base plate 7 and side plates 8 of a prefabricated house. The base plate 7 and side plates 8 are prefabricated frame panels composed of galvanized folding parts. Six regularly aligned bolt holes are pre-drilled at the bottom of the side plate 8. The bolt holes 3-1 on the connecting plate 3 correspond to the bolt holes on the side plate 8, and the connecting plate 3 can be fixed to the side plate 8 using high-strength bolts. The side of the base plate 7 has a rectangular slot for placing the slide rail 6 and a circular hole for inserting the fourth bolt 4-1 on the third connecting rod 4. To achieve automatic folding of the panels, a detachable electric cylinder 9 is used to apply the external force required for folding. The electric cylinder 9 is inserted into the pre-drilled holes on the base plate 7 and side plates 8 via a pin.
[0037] The high-precision motion curve is completed through the mechanism of the present invention to achieve high-precision folding of the base plate 7 and the side plate 8.
[0038] The slide rail 6 is fixed in the rectangular slot of the base plate 7. The slide frame 5-1 and the slider 5-2 are combined to form the slide rod 5, and the slide rod 5 is installed in the slide rail 6. The slide groove 5-2a on the slider 5-2 is engaged with the raised track 6-1 of the slide rail 6.
[0039] Align the bolt holes 3-1 on the connecting plate 3 with the bolt holes on the side plate 8, and fix the connecting plate 3 to the side plate 8 with high-strength bolts.
[0040] The sixth pin 1-1 of the first link 1 is inserted into the first circular hole 5-1a and the second circular hole 5-2b at one end of the slide bar 5, and the fifth pin 4-3 in the middle of the third link 4 is inserted into the third pin hole 1-2 of the first link 1, so as to realize the connection of the first link 1 with the slide bar 5 and the third link 4.
[0041] The cylindrical pin 2-1 of the second link 2 is inserted into the first circular hole 5-1a and the second circular hole 5-2b at the other end of the slide bar 5, and the third pin 2-2 of the second link 2 is inserted into the first pin hole 3-3 of the connecting plate 3, so as to realize the connection of the second link 2 with the slide bar 5 and the connecting plate 3.
[0042] The first pin 3-2 on the connecting plate 3 is inserted into the second pin hole 4-2 on the third link 4, so as to realize the connection of the connecting plate 3 and the third link 4.
[0043] The fourth pin 4-1 on the third link 4 is inserted into the circular hole reserved on the bottom plate 7, so as to realize the connection of the third link 4 and the bottom plate 7.
[0044] In operation, as the side plate 8 rotates clockwise from the vertical direction, the variable-thickness plate part of the connecting plate 3 ensures that the third link 4 and the second link 2 do not collide during counterclockwise rotation around the points D and C, and the load from the side plate 8 is transmitted to the third link 4 and the second link 2 through the connecting points C and D. The third link 4 rotates counterclockwise around the points D and F, drives the point C to move downward, and thus drives the side plate 8 to fold, and the fifth pin 4-3 in the middle of the third link 4 drives the first link 1 to rotate clockwise around the point E without colliding with the third link 4, so as to transmit the load on the third link 4 to the slide block 5-2 through the first link 1. The second link 2 rotates counterclockwise around the point B, and transmits the load on the second link 2 to the slide block 5-2.
[0045] The middle and both ends of the slide carriage 5-1 are cut open, and the slide block 5-2 is embedded in the cut-open parts at both ends. The height of the slide carriage 5-1 is slightly lower than the height of the slide block 5-2, so as to ensure that it does not contact the raised track 6-1 of the slide 6. When bearing the horizontal load transmitted by the second link 2, the slide block 5-2 moves horizontally to the left on the raised track 6-1, so as to drive the side plate 8 to fold clockwise. The top and bottom of the slide block 5-2 are provided with two slide grooves 5-2a, which are embedded with the corresponding raised tracks 6-1 on the upper and lower slides 6, so as to bear the vertical load transmitted by the second link 2 and transmit the vertical load to the slide. The slide 6 is a rectangular groove, the outer surface of which is welded with the reserved groove of the plate part, and the inner part is embedded in the bottom plate, so as to uniformly transmit the vertical load transmitted by the slide block 5-2 to the bottom plate 7, and reduce the stress concentration phenomenon.
[0046] While the application has been described and illustrated with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it is not intended that it be limited to these particulars. Various changes in form and detail can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the application as defined by the appended claims.
