Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of engineering machinery, and in particular relates to an open cab for a loader or similar engineering machinery. Background Art

[0002] In existing engineering practices, site-operating construction machinery such as loaders and forklifts often encounter usage scenarios where they need to enter low and narrow areas such as workshops, warehouses, cattle sheds, pig pens and other non-open work areas. Currently, most small and micro loaders, forklifts, etc. are equipped with conventional cabs or conventional open cabs. This type of machinery has a high overall height and cannot enter the above work scenarios. To solve such problems, some customers require the OEM not to equip the cab, but only to equip the seat and the most basic functional modules required to operate the loader. However, this solution has a major flaw, that is, this type of setting is only suitable for indoor scenes, and construction machinery placed in outdoor scenes will have problems such as falling objects, glaring sun on sunny days, and inability to block rain on rainy days, which poses a major safety hazard.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent CN219214994U discloses a foldable cab for an engineering vehicle, wherein a movable connecting assembly is provided between the roof and the cab base, and the roof and the cab base are foldably connected through the movable connecting assembly, and the height of the cab is adjusted by locking or unlocking the locking assembly, thereby solving the problem of height restrictions on engineering vehicles. However, it is mainly used for traction in tunnels, and the low-roof state is its common working state. The so-called folding is actually to press the roof horizontally downward, which is only applicable to initially larger cabs and cannot achieve switching into low and narrow spaces.

[0004] Chinese patent CN206721971U discloses a foldable cab for a loader, which is mainly suitable for protective cabs of field operation engineering machinery such as loaders and forklifts. A two-way adjustable diagonal support is provided. In an environment that does not require closed insulation, this foldable cab is used. When working in a narrow space, the cab does not need to be disassembled. While maintaining ventilation and good vision, it plays a certain protective role for the driver. However, this technical solution also has inconveniences and cumbersome operations. The two-way adjustable diagonal support is inconvenient to adjust, and the folding shed of this solution has a front column, namely the A-pillar. The A-pillar needs to be locked forward when folding, and the driver cannot reach it in the car and must get off the car to operate. Summary of the invention

In the description of this application, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by the directional terms "front" and "rear" are based on the attached Figure 1 The orientation or position relationship shown, "vertical", is an orientation or position relationship based on the usage status and is only for the convenience of description. It does not indicate or imply that the device or unit referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0036] As shown in the attached figure Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a foldable open cab and an engineering machine.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 5 A foldable open cab is shown, comprising: an open cab cockpit 1, the front and upper parts of both sides of the open cab cockpit 1 are open, the rear part of the open cab cockpit 1 is connected to a primary flip frame 2, the upper end of the primary flip frame 2 is provided with a top plate 21, and the front part of the top plate 21 is connected to a secondary flip frame 3.

[0038] The rear end of the open cab cabin 1 is provided with rear lower columns 181 on both sides, and the rear end of the primary flip frame 2 is provided with rear upper columns 182 on both sides. Each rear upper column 182 is hinged with each rear lower column 181 through a primary flip pin 10 and forms a rear column 18 under normal conditions. The rear column is usually called a B column. A retractable power-assisting connector is connected between each rear upper column 182 and each rear lower column 181. The retractable power-assisting connector can be a gas spring, an electric push rod for electric power assistance, or a hydraulic cylinder for liquid power assistance.

[0039] The outer ear plate 104 and the inner ear plate 105 are fixed to the two sides of each rear lower column 181, respectively. The outer ear plate 104 and the inner ear plate 105 are provided with a locking hole IA, a locking hole IIC and a hinge hole B for installing the first-level flip pin shaft 10. The locking hole IA is located above the hinge hole B, and the locking hole IIC is located behind the hinge hole B. The center distance between the locking hole IA and the hinge hole B is equal to the center distance between the hinge hole B and the locking hole IIC. The rear upper column 182 is provided with a flip pin hole 211 corresponding to the hinge hole B and a positioning hole 209 corresponding to the locking hole IA or the locking hole IIC. A pluggable positioning pin is installed in the positioning hole 209. Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 The outer ear plate and the inner ear plate are each provided with three circular holes, namely, the locking hole IA, the hinge hole B, and the locking hole ⅡC. The hinge hole B is used to pass through the primary flip pin, and the locking hole IA and the locking hole ⅡC are used to pass through the handle pin. When the cab is in the normal state, that is, not folded, the handle pin passes through the locking hole IA and the positioning hole 209 for locking. When the cab is in the folded state, the handle pin passes through the locking hole ⅡC and the positioning hole 209 for locking.

[0040] The angle between the center line of the locking hole IA and the hinge hole B and the center line of the hinge hole B and the locking hole IIC is the flip angle D. When the primary flip frame 2 folds backward without colliding with the hood 19, the larger the flip angle D, the better the passability. Figure 7 The flip angle D is preferably 110 degrees to 130 degrees. This angle allows the open cab to be lowered further after folding, thereby improving the passability of the entire machine. At the same time, it does not interfere with other parts of the construction machinery. When the position of the BC line does not change, the rear upper column 182 where the AB line is located can be slightly tilted forward to provide better support stability.

[0041] A limiting bracket I204 is provided at the lower front side of the rear upper column 182, and a limiting bracket II205 is fixed at the lower rear side of the rear upper column 182. One end of the limiting bracket I204 is fixed to the rear upper column 182, and the other end of the limiting bracket I204 extends downward and abuts against the upper part of the rear lower column 181 under normal conditions. The limiting bracket II205 has a downward supporting surface that abuts against the rear side of the rear lower column 181 after folding.

The outer ear plate and the inner ear plate are used to maintain the stability of both sides, and the stability of the front when upright and the stability of the rear after folding are maintained by the limit bracket I and the limit bracket II. At the same time, the posture switching and positioning are quickly realized through the design of the hinge hole, two locking holes and the positioning pin. The limit bracket I and the limit bracket II cooperate with the buffer shock absorber to realize fast and safe buffer positioning. One end of the secondary flip frame 3 is hinged to the top plate 21 through the secondary flip pin 13, and the other end of the secondary flip frame 3 is suspended.
