The following description of the embodiments with reference to the drawings is exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the present invention is a linkage table bearing and a truck, the linkage table bearing is installed between the frame and the front wheel steering bracket, and structurally includes an inner ring 1 and an outer ring 2, the outer ring 2 is sleeved outside the inner ring 1, the front wheel steering bracket 3 is connected to the inner ring 1, and the outer ring 2 is connected to the frame 4; of course, it can also be set that the front wheel steering bracket is connected to the outer ring, and the inner ring is connected to the frame. This linkage table bearing adopts a structure that can withstand comprehensive loads and a special bearing steel material, so that this linkage table bearing has the characteristics of light weight, ability to withstand very large radial, axial, and comprehensive loads, and can rotate easily, flexibly, silky, no noise, and maintenance-free. A plurality of 10mm balls are arranged in the linkage table bearing, the gap between the outer ring and the inner ring is 2mm, and the gap between the ball and the ball track is within 0.05mm, ensuring the ability to withstand radial, axial and comprehensive loads. The top of the inner ring 1 is provided with four protrusions 1-1, and the multiple protrusions 1-1 are distributed along the circumference of the inner ring, and the protrusions 1-1 are higher than the top surface of the outer ring 2. The inner wall of the inner ring 1 is provided with four convex ribs 1-2, and each convex rib is connected with the corresponding protrusion as a whole, which can greatly enhance the mechanical properties of the inner ring and prevent the inner ring from deforming and affecting the smoothness of the front wheel steering. A reinforcing connecting plate 5 is provided at the connection position between the outer ring or the inner ring and the frame to increase the stability of the connection between the two and prevent twisting and breaking.

[0036] The following is the structure of a truck, including a frame 4, a cargo carrier 6, a front wheel steering bracket 3, a steering handle 7 and a linkage bearing. A rear wheel 8 is arranged at the rear of the frame 4, and front wheels 9 are arranged on both sides of the front wheel steering bracket 3. The linkage bearing is connected between the frame and the front wheel steering bracket, and the steering handle is connected to control the front wheel steering bracket through the linkage bearing. A cargo hold 10 is fixed on the cargo carrier 6, and the steering handle is connected and fixed to the cargo hold. The cargo hold 10 is a wooden box or metal box. When turning, since the cargo hold and the front wheels rotate at the same time, the front wheels and the two sides of the cargo hold are always kept parallel, which can reduce the interference angle between the tire and the cargo hold, and obtain a wider cargo hold size under the premise that the width of the vehicle remains unchanged. The cargo carrier 6 includes a support rod frame 6-1 and an outer frame 6-2. The support rod frame 6-1 and the outer frame 6-2 are arranged inside and outside, and the two are connected as a whole. The support rod frame 6-1 is connected and fixed to the linkage bearing.

[0037] Furthermore, the front wheel steering bracket 3 adopts a suspension system. Since the height of the linkage platform bearing is only 36 mm, when combined with the suspension system, a lower distance from the cargo hold to the ground can be obtained. The suspension system includes a fixed base 3-1, a buffer shock absorber 3-2, a left steering front wheel frame 3-3 and a right steering front wheel frame 3-4 hinged on both sides of the fixed base. Structurally, the left steering front wheel frame 3-3 and the right steering front wheel frame 3-4 are consistent. The fixed base 3-1 is connected to the inner ring 1, and the buffer shock absorber 3-2 is connected between the left steering front wheel frame 3-3 and the right steering front wheel frame 3-4 to buffer vibrations, impacts, bumps, tilts, unbalanced loads, etc. during driving.

[0038] Furthermore, the suspension system is a multi-link suspension system, and the left steering front wheel frame 3-3 includes a first link group 3-31 and a second link group 3-32 which are distributed up and down, one end of the first link group and the second link group are respectively hinged to the fixed base, and the other ends of the first link group and the second link group are connected to the left steering front wheel fixed end seat 3-33, and the first link group 3-31 and the second link group 3-32 are hinged to the left steering front wheel fixed end seat 3-33. In this embodiment, the fixed base 3-1 includes a fixed top plate 3-11 and front and rear side plates 3-12 vertically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the fixed top plate, and the fixed top plate is fixed to the annular bottom surface of the inner ring member by fasteners. Of course, the fixed top plate can also be connected to the bottom of the inner ring member by welding. The first link group 3-31 includes two first steering swing links distributed front and back, and the two first steering swing links are arranged parallel to each other; the second link group 3-32 includes two second steering swing links distributed front and back, and the two second steering swing links are arranged parallel to each other.

[0039] Furthermore, a diagonal rod seat 3-34 is provided in the left steering front wheel frame 3-3, the lower part of the diagonal rod seat is connected and fixed to the second connecting rod group, a connecting cross bar 3-35 is provided on the upper part of the diagonal plate seat, and the end of the buffer shock absorber is rotatably connected to the connecting cross bar. The sides of the fixed base 3-1 and the left steering front wheel fixed end seat 3-33 are respectively provided with a fixed base positioning protrusion 11 and a front wheel fixed end seat positioning protrusion 12, and the fixed base positioning protrusion and the front wheel fixed end seat positioning protrusion are located above the second connecting rod group, and are used to limit the swing angle of the left steering front wheel frame. Here, the setting of the fixed base positioning protrusion can prevent the left steering front wheel frame and the right steering front wheel frame from folding toward the cargo bed. In order to improve its mechanical strength, the front wheel fixed end seat positioning protrusion and the fixed base positioning protrusion have the same structure and adopt a U-shaped structure. The front wheel fixed end seat positioning protrusion 12 includes two side triangular plates 12-1 and a bottom plate 12-2. The two side triangular plates are connected to the bottom plate as a whole to prevent deformation and fracture. The fixed base positioning protrusion one corresponding to the left steering front wheel frame and the fixed base positioning protrusion two corresponding to the right steering front wheel frame form an eight-shaped positioning structure, which plays a good limiting role for the left steering front wheel frame and the right steering front wheel frame.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present invention adopts a linkage platform bearing and a connection structure with a frame and a front wheel steering bracket, which is suitable for two-wheel, three-wheel, and four-wheel human-powered bicycles or electric vehicles. The linkage platform bearing, the front wheel steering bracket, and the connection structure of the cargo rack make the overall structure stable, the driving is smooth, the steering is smooth without tipping, the steering is easy and flexible, and the riding experience is comfortable. Under the premise that the overall size of the vehicle remains unchanged, the maximum cargo compartment size is obtained to achieve a greater effect of space utilization.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
