[0090] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and the specific embodiments.

[0091] Embodiment:

[0092] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a chassis of a transport trailer, which can take into account both rapid transfer traction and precise walking and mounting. Its specific structure includes: a frame 1, multiple pairs of Mecanum wheel systems 2, and multiple pairs of unpowered traction wheel systems 3.

[0093] The frame 1 serves as the support and connection foundation of the entire chassis.

[0094] Multiple pairs of Mecanum wheel systems 2 are respectively installed at both ends of the frame 1, and each pair of Mecanum wheel systems 2 is relatively arranged on both sides of the frame 1, and is used to provide omnidirectional movement ability, so that the transport trailer can operate flexibly in a narrow or complex space.

[0095] Multiple pairs of unpowered traction wheel systems 3 are respectively installed at both ends of the frame 1, and each pair of unpowered traction wheel systems 3 is relatively arranged on both sides of the frame 1, and is used to realize the function of rapid transfer traction.

[0096] Exemplarily, both the Mecanum wheel system 2 and the unpowered traction wheel system 3 are provided with two pairs, which not only ensures the driving stability but also reduces the manufacturing cost. However, it is not limited to this, and there may be more pairs, and the specific number is not limited.

[0097] Among them, each unpowered traction wheel system 3 includes a support mechanism 31, an unpowered traction wheel 32, and a lifting and adjusting mechanism 33, and the specific settings are as follows:

[0098] The support mechanism 31 serves as the installation foundation of the unpowered traction wheel 32 and is used to provide stable support;

[0099] The unpowered traction wheel 32 is installed on the support mechanism 31 for realizing traction and dragging.

[0100] The lifting adjustment mechanism 33 is installed between the vehicle frame 1 and the support mechanism 31 for controlling the lifting of the unpowered traction wheel 32.

[0101] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0102] When switching to the precise walking and hanging mode, as Figure 13 shown, the unpowered traction wheel system 3 is adjusted. Specifically, the support mechanism 31 is controlled to rise through the lifting adjustment mechanism 33, so that the unpowered traction wheel 32 is lifted and retracted until the unpowered traction wheel 32 leaves the ground and the Mecanum wheel system 2 touches the ground. At this time, by driving and controlling each Mecanum wheel system 2, the precise hanging operation in a narrow space can be realized.

[0103] When switching to the fast transfer traction mode, as Figure 14 shown, the unpowered traction wheel system 3 is adjusted. Specifically, the support mechanism 31 is controlled to descend through the lifting adjustment mechanism 33, so that the unpowered traction wheel 32 descends and unfolds until the unpowered traction wheel 32 touches the ground and the Mecanum wheel system 2 leaves the ground. At this time, by towing the transport trailer with a tractor, the fast transfer can be realized.

[0104] The present invention realizes the medium and long-distance consignment work through the fast transfer traction of the unpowered traction wheel system 3 under the traction of a traction locomotive, completes the hanging work through the precise movement and positioning of the Mecanum wheel system 2 in a narrow space, and then adjusts the lifting of the unpowered traction wheel 32 through the lifting adjustment mechanism 33, so as to control the lifting of the chassis and realize the automatic switching of the two wheel systems. It can adapt to complex and changeable working environments, and not only has the advantages of low working height, high positioning accuracy and flexibility of equipment hanging, but also has the advantages of convenient operation and high transport transfer efficiency, improving the working efficiency of the whole set of equipment and greatly reducing the manual operation difficulty.

[0105] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 15 shown, the vehicle frame 1 includes: two main longitudinal beams 11, multiple flat cross beams 12, multiple groups of secondary longitudinal beams 13 and two groups of side cross beams 14, and the specific settings are as follows:

They are used to connect the two main longitudinal beams 11 to enhance the lateral stability and bearing capacity;

[0108] Multiple groups of secondary longitudinal beams 13 are horizontally arranged and are respectively disposed between two adjacent flat cross beams 12 in one-to-one correspondence. Moreover, the secondary longitudinal beams 13 within each group are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the flat cross beam 12. They are used to connect the flat cross beams 12 to enhance the longitudinal stability and load-bearing capacity.

[0109] Two groups of side cross beams 14 are horizontally arranged and are respectively disposed on the outer sides of the two main longitudinal beams 11. Moreover, the side cross beams 14 within each group are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the main longitudinal beam 11 and are used to provide a stable support for the Mecanum wheel system 2 and the non-powered traction wheel system 3.

[0110] Specifically, both the main longitudinal beam 11 and the side cross beam 14 adopt rectangular tubes of the same specification of 120mm×60mm×4mm, thereby improving the structural regularity and ensuring the connection strength between the two; the flat cross beam 12 is composed of a channel steel and a high-strength steel plate welded together, ensuring the load strength.

[0138] Preferably, a flat washer is provided between the first nut 262 and the fixing block 261, and the flat washer is sleeved on the first bolt 264, which plays a role in avoiding hard connection, can buffer and shock-absorb, and improves stability.

[0139] Preferably, a plurality of card slots are formed at the top end of the first nut 262, and a split pin 265 is horizontally inserted at the top end of the first bolt 264, and the split pin 265 is engaged with the card slots, which avoids the occurrence of loosening or even loosening of the bolt under the action of factors such as impact and vibration, improves stability and reliability, and ensures that the component can work stably for a long time.

[0140] During operation, the mounting base plate 23 and the platform plate 22 are connected by the first bolt 264 and the fixing block 261, thus ensuring the connection firmness. When a certain Mecanum wheel 21 moves to the suspended area, the Mecanum wheel 21 drives the mounting base plate 23 to descend, the mounting base plate 23 drives the fixing block 261 to descend, and the fixing block 261 can apply a force to the first spring 263 to cause elastic deformation, so as to absorb and disperse these energies, play a role in buffering and shock-absorbing, and also avoid the occurrence of suspended slipping of the Mecanum wheel 21.

[0141] Through the above further design of the shock-absorbing component 26, the stability and reliability of the connection are ensured, and it has the advantages of compact structure, firm connection, strong bearing capacity and long service life, and is convenient for installation and manufacturing, with good comprehensive use effect, providing a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0142] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the lifting and adjusting mechanism 33 includes: a protective cover 331, a lifting oil cylinder 332, a plurality of guide seats 333 and a plurality of guide rods 334, and its specific settings are as follows:

[0143] The protective cover 331 is installed on the side of the vehicle frame 1 and is located above the support mechanism 31, playing a protective role to prevent foreign objects or dust from the outside from falling in;

[0144] The lifting oil cylinder 332 is installed on the top surface of the support mechanism 31, and the piston rod is connected to the protective cover 331. Preferably, a threaded hole is provided at the top, and then it is fixed to the protective cover 331 through screws;

[0145] A plurality of guide seats 333 are installed on the top surface of the support mechanism 31 and are arranged around the lifting oil cylinder 332. Preferably, two are provided and are in a cylindrical structure;

[0146] A plurality of guide rods 334 correspond to the guide seats 333 one by one, are installed in the protective cover 331, and are in vertical sliding fit with the corresponding guide seats 333.

[0147] Exemplarily, two guiding seats 333 and two guiding rods 334 are provided respectively, and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting oil cylinder 332, thus ensuring uniform force; the guiding seat 333 is cylindrical and slidably sleeved on the corresponding guiding rod 334, improving the firmness of guiding.

[0148] During lifting adjustment, the lifting of the support mechanism 31 is realized by the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the lifting adjustment mechanism 33, and then through the vertical sliding fit of the guiding seat 333 and the guiding rod 334, the stability and accuracy of the lifting process are ensured.

[0149] Through the further design of the above-mentioned lifting adjustment mechanism 33, the functions of protection and isolation are achieved, preventing foreign objects or dust from the outside from falling into the system, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the lifting process.

[0150] In some embodiments, as Figures 7 to 12 shown, the support mechanism 31 includes: a top plate 311, two side plates 312, a support plate 313, a concave plate 314, a handbrake assembly 315, a connecting plate 316, a second nut 317, a second spring 318 and a second bolt 319, and their specific settings are as follows:

[0151] The top plate 311 is the main load-bearing member, and its top surface is used to install the lifting adjustment mechanism 33;

[0152] The two side plates 312 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the bottom surface of the top plate 311, and are used to provide structural support;

[0153] The support plate 313 is arranged at one end of the two side plates 312, and preferably has a concave structure to enhance the structural strength and load-bearing capacity, and improve the connection firmness with the side plates 312;

[0154] The concave plate 314 is respectively attached to the outer sides of the two side plates 312 and is hinged through a support shaft, and a non-powered traction wheel 32 is rotatably connected to the inner side;

[0155] The handbrake assembly 315 is installed on the concave plate 314 and corresponds to the non-powered traction wheel 32, and is used to lock the non-powered traction wheel 32 when needed to prevent the vehicle from moving;

[0156] The connecting plate 316 is arranged at the end of the concave plate 314 and corresponds to the support plate 313;

[0157] The second nut 317 is arranged above the support plate 313;

[0158] The second spring 318 is constrained between the second nut 317 and the support plate 313;

[0159] The screw of the second bolt 319 sequentially passes through the connecting plate 316, the support plate 313 and the second spring 318 from bottom to top and is threadedly connected to the second nut 317.

[0160] It should be noted that the second nut 317, the second spring 318 and the second bolt 319 correspond to each other one by one, and can be set in two groups or more to further improve the buffer and shock absorption capacity, and specific settings are not limited.

[0161] Exemplarily, the unpowered traction wheel 32 is made of a core rubber wheel, which has the ability to be towed at a relatively fast speed, and can reduce vibration and impact to a certain extent, improving the driving stability.

[0162] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0163] When the lifting and adjusting mechanism 33 drives the support mechanism 31 to descend to a certain height, the unpowered traction wheel 32 touches the ground and overcomes its own weight, realizing the jacking. Here, the stiffness of the second spring 318 is designed to match the entire load, and the pre-tightening force of the second spring 318 can be changed by adjusting the tightness of the second nut 317.

[0164] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, both ends of the concave plate 314 form a set of lever mechanisms, and the hinge point is the lever fulcrum; therefore, when the grounded unpowered traction wheel 32 passes over a bumpy road surface, the load on the concave plate 314 will increase. Then, the concave plate 314 will rotate slightly counterclockwise around the support shaft, causing the chassis height to decrease slightly, and driving the connecting plate 316 to move downward. The connecting plate 316 will pull the second bolt 319, the second bolt 319 drives the second nut 317, and the second nut 317 applies a force to the second spring 318, causing it to undergo elastic deformation.

[0165] Through the above further design of the support mechanism 31, the structural strength and load-bearing capacity are guaranteed, and buffer and shock absorption can be carried out, so that during the traction and transportation process, large bumps of the vehicle body can be avoided, and the stability of the loaded goods during transportation is ensured.

[0166] On the basis of the above embodiment, the unpowered traction wheel system 3 is provided with two pairs, and a pair at the front end is set as a universal wheel, and a pair at the rear end is set as a fixed wheel.

[0167] If the unpowered traction wheel system 3 is configured as a universal wheel, as Figures 7 to 11 shown, the support mechanism 31 further includes: a convex shaft 31A, a rotating disk 31B and a thrust ball bearing 31C, and its specific settings are as follows:

[0168] The convex shaft 31A is arranged vertically and is provided on the bottom surface of the top plate 311, providing a stable rotation center;

[0169] The rotating disk 31B is rotatably sleeved on the convex shaft 31A and is arranged between the two side plates 312;

[0170] The thrust ball bearing 31C is arranged coaxially with the convex shaft 31A and is disposed between the top plate 311 and the rotating disk 31B.

[0171] Specifically, limiting ring grooves for installing the thrust ball bearing 31C are formed on the bottom surface of the top plate 311 and the top surface of the rotating disk 31B, thereby improving the installation stability and structural compactness.

[0172] Preferably, a deep groove ball bearing 31D is embedded in the bottom surface of the rotating disk 31B. The deep groove ball bearing is sleeved on the convex shaft 31A. Threads and keyway holes are provided at the bottom of the convex shaft 31A, and it is fixedly locked with a lock nut 31E and a brake washer, which improves the connection firmness and is convenient for disassembly, replacement.

[0173] Through the above settings, the support mechanism 31 not only has the original support and connection functions, but also increases the ability of rotation adjustment, enabling the non-powered traction wheel 32 to flexibly adjust the direction, and the overall structure is firmly connected, rotates smoothly and stably, and can be used stably for a long time.

[0174] If the non-powered traction wheel system 3 is configured as a fixed-direction wheel, as Figure 12 shown, both side plates 312 are fixedly connected to the top plate 311, which ensures the connection firmness and improves the overall structural strength.
