Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fire truck outriggers, and in particular relates to a high-altitude fire truck and an outrigger leg extension and retraction device and an outrigger leg extension and retraction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A fire truck, also known as a fire truck, is a vehicle designed and manufactured according to needs to be suitable for firefighters to ride, equipped with various fire-fighting equipment or fire extinguishing agents, and used for fire extinguishing, auxiliary fire extinguishing or fire rescue. It is usually double-row and equipped with steel ladders, water guns, portable fire extinguishers, respirators, protective clothing, demolition tools, first aid tools and other equipment. Some of them are also equipped with large fire-fighting equipment such as water tanks, water pumps, and foam fire extinguishing devices. There are usually alarm bells, sirens, warning lights and flashing lights on the top of the fire truck. Common types of fire trucks include water tank fire trucks, foam fire trucks, dry powder fire trucks, long-distance water supply fire trucks, climbing fire trucks, ladder climbing fire trucks, etc. The outriggers are an indispensable mechanism in the structure of climbing fire trucks.

[0003] The outrigger system of a high-altitude fire truck mainly includes an outrigger box, a primary outrigger, a secondary outrigger, a horizontal telescopic oil cylinder, a vertical oil cylinder, and a telescopic rope. In the prior art, the structures on both sides of the outrigger box are of an integral door panel type, which results in the overall structure being too heavy. In the field of automobile cranes, the outriggers are all in a fully extended state for lifting operations, while the outriggers of fire trucks need to be able to be extended at all positions for operation. The existing bottom reinforcement structure of the outrigger box is of a box type, which is relatively complex in structure, and only considers the strength of the bottom plate in the fully extended state, and it is difficult to ensure the structural strength of the outriggers at all extended positions. In actual use, there is a lack of real-time monitoring of the stress conditions of each leg, which cannot avoid the dangerous state of the legs being suspended in the air, and the safety of the operation is not guaranteed. Moreover, the adjustment pads at the bottom of the first and second legs are of the slider type, and the legs have a large sliding resistance when extending or retracting. The legs will get stuck when they are telescoped, and when disassembling and assembling the horizontal cylinder of the existing legs, the legs need to be taken out of the leg box before the cylinder can be disassembled. The disassembly and assembly steps are cumbersome, the operation is relatively difficult, and the operation efficiency is affected. In summary, there is an urgent need for a high-altitude fire truck and its leg telescopic device and leg telescopic method. Summary of the invention
