AI Technical Summary
The existing truck pantographs have the two heads at the same height, which leads to uneven contact force on bumpy roads, posing a safety hazard. In addition, they occupy a large amount of roof space when not in operation.
The system employs a bracket and balance wheel mechanism, connecting the tie rod assembly and the balance wheel via a steel wire rope. The rotation of the bracket and balance wheel adjusts the height difference between the two bow head assemblies, achieving a balance of the net-touching force. A limit block restricts the balance wheel angle, reducing the space occupied.
It achieves a balance of contact force between the two bow head components on bumpy roads, reducing charging interruptions and safety hazards, and minimizing space occupation when not in operation.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric mine truck, in particular to a pantograph contact net force balancing mechanism, a pantograph and an electric truck. BACKGROUND
[0002] As Figures 1-2 The existing pantograph structure is shown in the figure, which comprises a bottom box 01, the top of the bottom box 01 is connected with a large arm assembly 03 through a pull rod assembly 02, the top of the large arm assembly 03 is connected with a bow head assembly 05 through a small arm assembly 04, the lower hinge points 022 of the pull rod of the pull rod assembly 02 and the lower hinge points 032 of the large arm of the large arm assembly 03 are respectively hinged with the bottom box 01, the upper hinge points 021 of the pull rod of the pull rod assembly 02 and the upper hinge points 031 of the large arm of the large arm assembly 03 are respectively hinged with a bracket 06, and the bottom box 01, the pull rod assembly 02, the large arm assembly 03 and the bracket 06 form a four-bar linkage mechanism.
[0003] When the air bag drives the large arm assembly 03 to tilt up, the horizontal pipe 033 on the large arm assembly 03 drives the large arm assembly 03 to rotate counterclockwise around the large arm lower hinge point 032, and the small arm assembly 04 is driven to rotate counterclockwise around the hinge point of the bow head assembly 05 while the large arm upper hinge point 031 is lifted.
[0004] Because the pull rod assembly is hard connected and the length is unchanged, the height of the two bow head assemblies 05 will always remain the same.
[0005] The defects and deficiencies of the existing pantograph structure in use are that:
[0006] 1) The line net of the truck pantograph needs two positive and negative line nets, and the actual two line nets have a height difference, and when the vehicle drives to a bumpy road section, the vehicle body will tilt, and because the heights of the two bow heads always remain the same, one of the two bow heads will not be in contact with the line net, which will cause safety hazards such as arc drawing.
[0007] 2) When the truck pantograph is not working, the small arm assembly, the large arm assembly and the pull rod assembly will all fall down, and the distance between the two pull rod lower hinge points of the pull rod assembly 02 is large, which will occupy a large roof layout space.
[0008] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a new scheme to solve the defects and deficiencies in the prior art. SUMMARY
[0009] Therefore, in order to solve the defects and deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a pantograph contact net force balancing mechanism, a pantograph and an electric truck.
[0010] The technical scheme provided by the present application is as follows:
[0011] A catenary force balancing mechanism for a pantograph, comprising a bottom box, a large arm assembly connected to the top of the bottom box through a pull rod assembly, and a pantograph head assembly connected to the top of the large arm assembly through a small arm assembly; characterized in that: a bracket is hinged to the top of the bottom box, a balance wheel is hinged inside the bracket, and one end of the pull rod assembly is wound around the outer edge of the balance wheel through a steel wire rope.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the bottom of the bracket is hinged to a support fixed to the top of the bottom box through a first rotating shaft.
[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the top of the bracket is hinged to the balance wheel through a second rotating shaft.
[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the extension directions of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are perpendicular to each other in space.
[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, a rolling bearing is arranged between the center hole of the balance wheel and the second rotating shaft.
[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, one end of the steel wire rope is threadedly connected to the pull rod assembly.
[0017] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, a groove is opened in the outer periphery of the balance wheel, and the other end of the steel wire rope is accommodated inside the groove.
[0018] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, a limiting block is protrudingly arranged on the top of the balance wheel, and the limiting block is limitedly matched with the brackets on both sides.

[0022] 1) The invention provides a catenary contact force balancing mechanism for a pantograph, a pantograph and an electric truck. During the lifting or lowering of the two side head assemblies, the support drives the balance wheel to synchronously swing around the first rotating shaft. When there is a height difference in the catenary or the vehicle is tilted, the unilateral head assembly is subjected to a larger catenary pressure, the unilateral pull rod assembly is pulled up, the balance wheel rotates around the second rotating shaft, and the corresponding side head assembly is lifted by the other side pull rod, that is, the catenary contact force of the other side head assembly is increased, so as to balance the catenary contact force of the two side head assemblies and solve the problem of unbalanced catenary contact force of the two head assemblies of the existing truck pantograph, thereby reducing the charging interruption and safety hazards caused by the problem.
[0023] 2) The invention provides a catenary contact force balancing mechanism for a pantograph, a pantograph and an electric truck. The bottom of the support is hinged to the support base through the first rotating shaft, and the balance wheel center hole is hinged to the second rotating shaft using a rolling bearing, which is flexible in rotation and makes the balancing of the catenary contact force of the two head assemblies more sensitive.
[0024] 3) The invention provides a catenary contact force balancing mechanism for a pantograph, a pantograph and an electric truck. A limiting block is arranged on the balance wheel to limit the angle of rotation of the balance wheel and thereby limit the height difference between the two head assemblies.
[0025] 4) The invention provides a catenary contact force balancing mechanism for a pantograph, a pantograph and an electric truck. When the truck pantograph is not working, the balance wheel and the support occupy a smaller arrangement space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0036] [First embodiment]
[0037] As Figures 3-7 The first embodiment of the present application provides a catenary contact force balancing mechanism for a pantograph, which comprises a bottom box 11, the top of the bottom box 11 is connected with a large arm assembly 13 through a pull rod assembly 12, the top of the large arm assembly 13 is connected with a pantograph head assembly 15 through a small arm assembly 14; characterized in that: a support 16 is hinged to the top of the bottom box 11, a balance wheel 17 is hinged inside the support 16, and one end of the pull rod assembly 12 is wound on the outer edge of the balance wheel 17 through a steel wire rope 121.
[0038] During the lifting or lowering of the two-side pantograph assembly, the support 16 drives the swing wheel 17 to swing synchronously to adapt to the lifting or lowering of the two-side pantograph assembly; meanwhile, when there is a height difference in the wire net or the vehicle is tilted so that the unilateral pantograph assembly is subjected to a larger pressure from the wire net, the unilateral pull rod assembly is pulled upward, the swing wheel rotates around the second pivot, and the corresponding side pantograph assembly is lifted through the other pull rod, that is, the contact force of the other side pantograph assembly is increased, so as to balance the contact forces of the two-side pantograph assemblies to solve the problem of unbalanced contact forces of the two pantographs of the existing truck pantograph.
[0039] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 4-7 the bottom of the support 16 is hinged to the support seat 161 fixed to the top of the bottom box 11 through the first pivot S1, so that the support 16 drives the swing wheel 17 to swing synchronously to adapt to the lifting or lowering of the two-side pantograph assembly through the hinged mode
[0040] and the top of the support 16 is hinged to the swing wheel 17 through the second pivot S2, when there is a height difference in the wire net or the vehicle is tilted so that the unilateral pantograph assembly is subjected to a larger pressure from the wire net, the unilateral pull rod assembly is pulled upward, the swing wheel rotates around the second pivot, and the corresponding side pantograph assembly is lifted through the other pull rod, that is, the contact force of the other side pantograph assembly is increased, so as to balance the contact forces of the two-side pantograph assemblies to solve the problem of unbalanced contact forces of the two pantographs of the existing truck pantograph.
[0041] By hinging the bottom of the support to the support seat through the first pivot and hinging the central hole of the swing wheel 17 to the second pivot S2 using a rolling bearing, the rotation is flexible, and the balance of the contact forces of the two pantographs is more sensitive.
[0042] In the embodiment, the extension directions of the first pivot S1 and the second pivot S2 are perpendicular to each other in space, so as to meet the rotation requirements of the swing wheel in different dimensions.
[0043] In the embodiment, one end of the steel wire rope 121 is threadedly connected to the pull rod assembly 12, and the outer periphery of the swing wheel 17 is provided with a groove 171, and the other end of the steel wire rope 121 is accommodated in the groove 171, so as to ensure that the pull rod assembly 12 can be stably sleeved on the outer periphery of the swing wheel 17.
[0044] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figures 5-6 the top of the swing wheel 17 is provided with a limiting block 18, and the limiting block is limited to cooperate with the two-side supports 16, when the swing wheel 17 rotates to a preset angle position relative to the second pivot S2, the limiting block on the swing wheel abuts against the two-side supports 16, the swing wheel can be angularly stopped by the limiting block 18 through the support 16, so as to limit the angle of rotation of the swing wheel, and further limit the height difference of the two pantographs.
