Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerial work platform protection technology, specifically to an aerial work platform anti-overrun device. Background Technology
[0002] A vehicle-mounted aerial work platform refers to a vehicle over 3 meters high that uses a hydraulic or electric system to control multiple hydraulic cylinders, enabling it to lift and operate vertically. Hydraulic-driven aerial work platforms are a modern and advanced type of mechanical equipment. Construction workers can work in the air using these platforms, and safety is guaranteed when used correctly. However, improper operation or failure to implement safety measures can make it an extremely dangerous aerial work operation.
[0003] Traditional anti-collision devices for aerial work platforms consist of a round steel bar fitted inside a steel pipe and then vertically installed on the work platform. When the round steel bar encounters an upper obstacle, it moves downward and pushes a lower limit switch to activate, thus stopping the vehicle and preventing a collision. However, this type of anti-collision device requires the work platform to collide vertically for it to function, which is quite limiting. Furthermore, the round steel bar is prone to bending and deformation during a collision, causing it to fail and requiring replacement, which increases the operating cost. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-9 As shown, an anti-overhead collision device for an aerial work platform includes a work platform frame 1. Extended shells 2 are welded to both sides of the work platform frame 1. A base 4 is bolted to the inner cavity of the extended shell 2. A signal amplifier 5 is fixed to one end of the base 4. A main spring 6 is sleeved in the inner cavity of one end of the base 4. A bumper 7 is sleeved on the other end of the main spring 6. Several support columns 9 are arranged in a ring around the inner cavity of the bumper 7. A tilt switch module 8 is snapped onto the surface of the support columns 9. A housing 10 is fixed to one side of the extended shell 2. A power mechanism 11 for lifting is provided in the inner cavity of the housing 10. A support frame 13 for limiting the main spring 6 is provided on the surface of the power mechanism 11. A transmission mechanism 14 for transmission is provided on the other side of the support frame 13. A protective shell 15 for protection is provided on the surface of the transmission mechanism 14. Fixed shells 19 are fixed to both sides of the base 4. The inner cavity of the fixed shell 19 slides... The device includes a card 20 for fixing the main spring 6. The surface of the card 20 is provided with a fixing mechanism 21 that allows the card 20 to slide. The main structure of the invention is composed of the main spring 6. Under the action of the bumper 7, tilt switch module 8, signal amplifier 5 and controller, it can meet collisions at different angles and can return to its original state after the collision. In addition, the operator can use the power mechanism 11 to drive the support frame 13 to lift and lower, so that the support frame 13 restricts the swaying main spring 6 and accelerates the recovery speed of the main spring 6 after deformation due to contact. In addition, under the action of the support frame 13 and the transmission mechanism 14, the protective shell 15 can also protect the device when it is not in operation. Furthermore, under the action of the card 20 and the fixing mechanism 21, the operator can quickly disassemble and assemble the main spring 6, which is convenient for replacing the main spring 6 that has suffered metal fatigue.
[0032] The power mechanism 11 includes a small motor 111, which is fixed to the inner cavity of the housing 10. The output shaft of the small motor 111 is fixed with a drive gear 112, and a driven gear plate 113 meshes with the surface of the drive gear 112. The support frame 13 is fixed to one side of the surface of the driven gear plate 113. In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the small motor 111, the drive gear 112 and the driven gear plate 113, the operator can use the small motor 111. Under the action of the small motor 111, the drive gear 112 rotates, and the driven gear plate 113 meshing with the drive gear 112 can drive the support frame 13 to rise and fall.
[0033] Support rods 12 are slidably provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the support frame 13. One end of the support rod 12 is fixed to the inner cavity of the extension shell 2. In this embodiment, by setting the support rod 12, when the driven toothed plate 113 slides, the support rod 12 can provide a limit for the sliding of the driven toothed plate 113, thereby improving the stability of the sliding of the driven toothed plate 113.
[0034] The transmission mechanism 14 includes a drive gear plate 141, which is fixed to one side of the surface of the support frame 13. A driven gear 142 meshes with the surface of the drive gear plate 141, and a force-bearing gear 143 meshes with the surface of the driven gear 142. A rotating shaft 144 is fixed inside the cavity of the force-bearing gear 143. A protective shell 15 is fixed to both sides of the rotating shaft 144. In this embodiment, by setting up the drive gear plate 141, driven gear 142, force-bearing gear 143 and rotating shaft 144, when the support frame 13 is raised or lowered, the drive gear plate 141 fixed to the surface of the support frame 13 can be driven to rise. Then, the driven gear 142 meshing with the drive gear plate 141 can mesh with the force-bearing gear 143, and under the action of the rotating shaft 144, the protective shell 15 rotates.
[0035] The different specifications of the driven gear 142 and the force-bearing gear 143 enable the transmission mechanism 14 and the power mechanism 11 to be compatible. In this embodiment, this arrangement allows the rotation speed of the protective shell 15 to match the lifting speed of the support frame 13 when the protective shell 15 rotates, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0036] An auxiliary rotating rod 16 is rotatably disposed on the surface of the driven gear 142. An auxiliary block 17 is rotatably disposed on both sides of the surface of the auxiliary rotating rod 16. The auxiliary block 17 is fixed to the surface of the extension shell 2 and is also disposed on the surface of the rotating shaft 144. In this embodiment, the auxiliary rotating rod 16 and the auxiliary block 17 provide support for the rotation of the driven gear 142 and the force-bearing gear 143, thereby improving the stability of the driven gear 142 and the force-bearing gear 143 during rotation.
[0037] Both sides of the surface of the extension shell 2 are fixed with pads 18. The pads 18 are rounded. In this embodiment, the pads 18 provide support for the protective shell 15 after it is flipped over, thereby improving the stability of the protective shell 15 after it is flipped over.
[0038] The fixing mechanism 21 includes connecting blocks 211 fixed to both sides of the surface of the card 20. A slide rod 213 is slidably arranged in the inner cavity of the connecting block 211. Both sides of the slide rod 213 are fixed to the inner cavity of the fixing shell 19. A second spring 212 is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 213. One end of the second spring 212 is fixed to the surface of the connecting block 211, and the other end of the second spring 212 is fixed to the inner cavity of the fixing shell 19. In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the connecting block 211, the second spring 212 and the slide rod 213, the operator can pull the card 20. Then, under the action of the connecting block 211, the slide rod 213 limits the movement of the card 20. In addition, when the operator releases control of the card 20, with the assistance of the second spring 212, the card 20 can be inserted into the gap of the main spring 6 to achieve the purpose of limiting the main spring 6.
[0039] The surface of the extension shell 2 is provided with several water outlet holes 3, which are evenly distributed at the bottom of the extension shell 2. In this embodiment, the water outlet holes 3 are provided to prevent water from accumulating in the extension shell 2, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0040] The inner cavity of the bumper 7 is provided with several connecting grooves 22. The connecting grooves 22 are also provided in the inner cavity of the base 4. In this embodiment, the connecting grooves 22 are provided to increase the friction of the connecting part of the main spring 6 and enhance the stability of the main spring 6 after it is placed.
[0041] The tilt switch module 8 and the signal amplifier 5 are electrically connected, and the signal amplifier 5 and the controller are electrically connected. In this embodiment, this arrangement enables several structures to be intelligently connected to achieve more precise work tasks, improve overall performance, and thus better solve practical problems.
[0042] Working principle: During use, the operator can control the lifting and lowering of the work frame 1. When the work frame 1 is operating normally, when the bumper 7 hits an obstacle, the main spring 6 bends, and the built-in tilt switch module 8 disconnects the signal when it reaches 45°. The signal is amplified by the signal amplifier 5 and transmitted to the controller to stop all actions, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing top collision. At the same time, when the leveling of the work bucket fails and the work bucket tilts to 45°, all actions are locked simultaneously, which protects the vehicle and personnel.
[0043] After the bumper 7 causes the main spring 6 to bend, the internal stress of the main spring 6 will cause the bumper 7 to swing back and forth. At this time, the operator can use the power mechanism 11 to raise the support frame 13 under the action of the small motor 111, the drive gear 112 and the driven gear plate 113. Then, under the action of the support frame 13, the swinging main spring 6 can be restricted, the amplitude of its swing can be reduced and its return to normal can be accelerated.
[0044] Furthermore, during the upward movement of the support frame 13 driven by the power mechanism 11, the transmission mechanism 14 fixed to one side of the surface of the support frame 13 can rotate the protective shell 15 under the action of the active gear plate 141, driven gear 142, force-bearing gear 143 and rotating shaft 144, thereby causing the protective shell 15 to flip over and cover the surface of the bumper 7 and the main spring 6. When the bumper 7, the main spring 6, the signal amplifier 5 and the tilt switch module 8 are not in use, they are simply protected. In addition, if the main spring 6 suffers metal fatigue during long-term use, the operator can use the card 20 and the fixing mechanism 21 to release the restriction on the main spring 6, thereby facilitating the replacement of the main spring 6 and further improving the practicality of the device.
