[0049] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0050] The locking device for a mixer truck of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a locking device for a mixer truck, which includes a limit member 10 and a locking assembly 20. The limit member 10 is arranged on the mixing drum 200 of the mixer truck, and the locking assembly 20 includes a mounting seat 21 and a locking buckle 22. The mounting seat 21 is arranged on the back end 300 of the mixer truck, and the locking buckle 22 is swingably arranged on the mounting seat 21 and can be switched between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking buckle 22 is used to cooperate with the limit member 10 to limit the rotation of the mixing drum 200 when switching to the locked position, and to release the restriction on the mixing drum 200 when switching to the unlocked position.

[0052] It should be noted that the locking device of the present invention can be applied to concrete mixer trucks, mixing material pump trucks or other mixer trucks with a mixing drum 200. The present invention does not limit the type of mixer truck. The embodiment of the present invention only takes the mixer truck as a concrete mixer truck as an example for explanation, wherein the concrete mixer truck includes a mixing drum 200 and a backstage 300. The mixing drum 200 is rotatably arranged on the backstage 300 with its own central axis as the rotation center. The mixing drum 200 is used to hold the mixing material, and the mixing material is set to concrete. The locking device is used to limit the rotation of the mixing drum 200.

[0053] Specifically, the limit member 10 is provided on the mixing drum 200 and can rotate with the mixing drum 200. The mounting seat 21 is provided on the back stage 300. The locking buckle 22 is provided on the mounting seat 21 and can swing from an unlocked position away from the limit member 10 to a locked position toward a direction close to the limit member 10. When the locking buckle 22 swings to the locked position, it is located on one side of the limit member 10, so that the locking buckle 22 can be against the limit member 10 when the mixing drum 200 drives the limit member 10 to rotate, thereby limiting the rotation of the mixing drum 200. The mixing drum 200 has high reliability in stopping rotation, which improves operational safety. The locking buckle 22 cooperates with the limit member 10 to lock the mixing drum 200. The locking buckle 22 will not block the limit member 10, which is convenient for the operator to observe the position of the limit member 10, reduces the difficulty of locking, and improves the convenience of locking.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, the limit member 10 is arranged on the end face 2021 of the track body 202 of the mixing drum 200, and the limit member 10 extends from the track body 202 toward the locking buckle 22. The limit member 10 includes two limit blocks 11, the two limit blocks 11 are arranged at intervals, and a stop groove 12 is formed between the two limit blocks 11. When the locking buckle 22 is switched to the locking position, it swings to be located in the stop groove 12.

[0055] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the mixing drum 200 includes a drum body 201 and a track body 202 arranged on the drum body 201, a supporting wheel 301 is provided on the backstage 300, the track body 202 and the supporting wheel 301 are in rolling contact, the mounting seat 21 is arranged on the side of the supporting wheel 301 facing away from the drum body 201, and the limiting member 10 is arranged on the side of the track body 202 facing the mounting seat 21, which increases the visual range and effectively prevents the locking assembly 20 from blocking the limiting member 10, making it convenient for the operator to observe the position of the limiting member 10 relative to the locking buckle 22, thereby greatly improving the convenience of locking.

[0056] It should be noted that when the operator locks the mixing drum 200, the locking operation is usually performed facing the end face 2021 of the track body 202. When the operator faces the end face 2021 of the track body 202, the locking method of the prior art in which the pin shaft and the locking hole are plugged in together will cause the locking hole to be blocked by the pin shaft. The operator cannot accurately judge the position of the locking hole, resulting in great difficulty in alignment and locking. Even if the operator performs the locking operation from the side of the mixing drum 200, since other components that will block the locking hole are also provided on the back end 300 of the mixer truck, the operator cannot see the position of the locking hole from the side of the mixing drum 200, and it is more difficult to perform the plug-in locking operation from the side of the mixing drum 200, further reducing the convenience of operation.

[0057] In the locking device of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting a limit piece 10 extending from the track body 202 toward the mounting seat 21 on the end face 2021 of the track body 202, the locking buckle 22 is effectively prevented from blocking the limit piece 10. The visual range is wide, so that the operator can perform the locking operation of the mixing drum 200 at a position facing the end face 2021 of the track body 202, which greatly reduces the difficulty of alignment and locking and improves the convenience of the locking operation.

[0058] Furthermore, the two limit blocks 11 of the limit member 10 are arranged at intervals on the track body 202. When the mixing drum 200 needs to be locked, the mixing drum 200 drives the two limit blocks 11 to rotate to the position of the corresponding mounting seat 21, and the locking buckle 22 swings from the unlocking position to the locking position, and extends into the anti-rotation groove 12 between the two limit blocks 11, so that the two sides of the locking buckle 22 can respectively abut against the two limit blocks 11 when the mixing drum 200 rotates forward or reverse, thereby limiting the forward and reverse rotation of the mixing drum 200, realizing the locking of the mixing drum 200, and improving the operation safety.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, the limit member 10 also includes a connecting block, which is arranged between the two limit blocks 11, and the two ends of the connecting block are respectively connected to the two limit blocks 11 one by one, thereby increasing the connection strength between the two limit blocks 11, and thereby improving the structural strength and anti-rotation reliability of the limit member 10.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, the locking assembly 20 also includes a limiting elastic member 23, one end of the limiting elastic member 23 is connected to the mounting seat 21, and the other end of the limiting elastic member 23 is connected to the locking buckle 22. The limiting elastic member 23 is used to limit the swinging of the locking buckle 22 when the locking buckle 22 is switched to a locked position or an unlocked position.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the two ends of the limiting elastic member 23 are connected to the mounting seat 21 and the locking buckle 22 respectively. The limiting elastic member 23 is in an elastic limit state when the locking buckle 22 is switched to the unlocked position or the locked position to limit the swinging of the locking buckle 22, thereby limiting the locking buckle 22 in the unlocked position or the locked position, and the locking buckle 22 is used to abut against one side of the limiting block 11 when it is in the locked position to limit the rotation of the limiting block 11, thereby limiting the rotation of the mixing drum 200, and the rotation reliability is high, which improves the operation safety, and the limiting elastic member 23 limits the locking buckle 22 to the locked position to prevent the locking buckle 22 from failing to limit the mixing drum 200, further improving the rotation stability and reliability.

[0062] It can be understood that when the locking buckle 22 of the locking assembly 20 is switched to the locked position, a locking limiting force is generated to limit the swinging of the locking buckle 22. When it is necessary to unlock the mixing drum 200, an external force is applied to the locking buckle 22 to overcome the locking limiting force, so that the locking buckle 22 can be swung in a direction away from the limit block 11, thereby releasing the restriction on the mixing drum 200, and the limiting elastic member 23 limits the locking buckle 22 to the unlocked position when the locking buckle 22 is switched to the unlocked position, effectively preventing the locking buckle 200 from being unlocked. 2. The mixing drum 200 is locked by mistake due to shaking. The structure is stable and reliable. In addition, when the locking buckle 22 of the locking assembly 20 is in the unlocked position, a self-locking limiting force is generated to limit the swinging of the locking buckle 22. When the mixing drum 200 needs to be locked, an external force is applied to the locking buckle 22 to overcome the self-locking limiting force, so that the locking buckle 22 can be swung to the locked position and abut against the limit block 11 to limit the rotation of the mixing drum 200. The operation is convenient and simple, and the locking is stable and reliable, which improves the safety of the cleaning operation of the mixing drum 200.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, the locking buckle 22 includes a support plate 221 and two limiting arms 222. The two limiting arms 222 are respectively rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 21, and the two limiting arms 222 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two limiting blocks 11, and the support plate 221 is connected between the two limiting arms 222.

[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two limit arms 222 are arranged at intervals on the mounting seat 21 and can swing relative to the mounting seat 21. When the two limit arms 222 are swung to the locking position, they both extend into the anti-rotation groove 12, and the two limit arms 222 are respectively used to abut against the two limit blocks 11 one by one to limit the forward or reverse rotation of the mixing drum 200. In addition, one end of the limit elastic member 23 is connected to the mounting seat 21, and the other end of the limit elastic member 23 is connected to one of the limit arms 222. The support plate 221 is connected between the two limit arms 222 to connect and support the two limit arms 222, so that the two limit arms 222 can swing synchronously, and the limit elastic member 23 can limit the two limit arms 222 synchronously in the unlocking position or the locking position, the limitation is stable and reliable, and the support plate 221 is supported between the two limit arms 222, which increases the structural strength and further improves the anti-rotation reliability.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, the limiting arm 222 includes a swinging section 2221 and a limiting section 2222. One end of the swinging section 2221 is swingably arranged on the mounting seat 21, and the other end of the swinging section 2221 is connected to the limiting section 2222, and the limiting section 2222 is bent from the swinging section 2221 toward the limiting block 11.

[0066] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, the swinging section 2221 is swingably arranged on the mounting seat 21 to drive the limiting section 2222 to swing, and the limiting section 2222 is bent in the direction close to the limiting block 11, so that the limiting section 2222 can extend into the anti-rotation groove 12 and extend in the same direction as the limiting block 11 when it is swung to the locking position, thereby increasing the contact area between the limiting section 2222 and the limiting block 11, and further improving the anti-rotation stability and reliability.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present invention, the mounting base 21 includes a bottom plate 211, a mounting plate 212 and a rotating shaft 213. The bottom plate 211 is arranged on the backstage 300, the mounting plate 212 is arranged on the bottom plate 211, and the rotating shaft 213 is arranged through the mounting plate 212 and the swing section 2221. Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the bottom plate 211 is arranged on the backstage 300, the number of the mounting plates 212 is set to two and they are arranged at intervals on the bottom plate 211, the two limiting arms 222 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two mounting plates 212, and the rotating shaft 213 is arranged through the swing sections 2221 of the two limiting arms 222 and the two mounting plates 212, so that the two limiting arms 222 can swing between the unlocking position and the locking position relative to the two mounting plates 212, and the mixing drum 200 is locked conveniently and quickly.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, the locking assembly 20 further includes a first positioning identification structure and a second positioning identification structure, wherein the first positioning identification structure is provided on the locking buckle 22, and the second positioning identification structure is provided in the anti-rotation groove 12. Specifically, the first identification structure and the second identification structure can be provided as reflective stickers, colored papers, reminder labels, etc. The first identification structure is provided on the locking buckle 22, and the second identification structure is provided in the anti-rotation groove 12, so that the operator can observe the positions of the two limit blocks 11 and then rotate the two limit blocks 11 to the positions corresponding to the locking buckle 22, thereby reducing the difficulty of alignment and locking and improving the convenience of locking.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, the locking assembly 20 further includes an auxiliary alignment block 24, which is rotatably disposed on the mounting seat 21 and is used to swing to the side of the limit block 11 facing away from the anti-rotation groove 12. Figure 7 As shown, the auxiliary alignment block 24 is provided on the rotating shaft 213 so as to be able to swing relative to the mounting plate 212. When the mixing drum 200 needs to be locked, the auxiliary alignment block 24 is swung to the side facing the mixing drum 200, so that the auxiliary alignment block 24 can abut against the side of the limit block 11 facing away from the rotation stop groove 12, thereby facilitating the operator to confirm that the limit block 11 has been swung to the position corresponding to the locking buckle 22, further reducing the difficulty of alignment and locking, and improving the convenience of locking. Moreover, when the mixing drum 200 needs to be unlocked, the auxiliary alignment block 24 is swung to the side facing away from the mixing drum 200 to prevent the auxiliary alignment block 24 from causing rotation interference with the mixing drum 200, and the structural design is reasonable.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple limit members 10, and the multiple limit members 10 are circumferentially spaced apart on the mixing drum 200. Specifically, the multiple limit members 10 are circumferentially spaced apart along the outer circumference of the mixing drum 200, and each limit member 10 includes two limit blocks 11. A rotation-stop groove 12 for a locking buckle 22 to extend into is formed between the two limit blocks 11 of each limit member 10, so that the locking buckle 22 can cooperate with any limit member 10 to lock the mixing drum 200, further improving the locking convenience.

[0071] In addition, the present invention also provides a locking device design method, which is used for the locking device for the mixer truck described above. The locking buckle 22 has an abutment area 223, and the abutment area 223 is used to abut with the limiter 10. The allowable stress of the locking buckle 22 and the area of the abutment area 223 satisfy the first strength design formula. The first strength design formula is set as: Wherein, σ is the allowable stress of the locking buckle 22, S is the area of the abutment zone 223, ρ is the density of the accumulated material in the mixing drum 200, V is the preset accumulated material volume in the mixing drum 200, g is the gravity coefficient, D is the diameter of the mixing drum 200, and d is the distance between the limit member 10 and the central axis of the mixing drum 200.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, an abutment area 223 is formed at one end of the limiting section 2222 away from the swinging section 2221. The abutment area 223 contacts the limiting block 11 when the limiting section 2222 swings to the locking position, that is, the abutment area 223 plays a role in limiting the rotation of the limiting block 11. The area S of the abutment area 223 is the contact area between the limiting section 2222 and the limiting block 11, and the area S of the abutment area 223 is the effective limiting area; ρ is the density of the accumulated material in the mixing drum 200, that is, ρ is set to be when the mixing drum 200 stops rotating. The density of the mixing material accumulated in the mixing drum 200; V is the preset material accumulation volume, which is the maximum volume of the mixing material allowed to be accumulated in the mixing drum 200; D is the diameter of the mixing drum 200, which is equal to the diameter of the mixing drum 200 when the mixing drum 200 is set as a single-diameter mixing drum, and is equal to the maximum diameter of the mixing drum 200 when the mixing drum 200 is set as a variable-diameter (multi-diameter) mixing drum; d is the distance between the center of gravity of the limit block 11 and the central axis of the mixing drum 200.

[0073] Furthermore, the allowable stress σ of the locking buckle 22 and the area S of the abutment area 223 are set to satisfy the first strength design formula, so that the locking buckle 22 can still effectively limit the mixing drum 200 when a preset volume of mixing material is accumulated in the mixing drum 200, thereby preventing the torque generated by the accumulation of the mixing material from damaging the locking buckle 22 and ensuring the structural design strength. In addition, the minimum allowable stress of the material of the locking buckle 22 and the minimum allowable stress of the material of the limit block 11 are both set to be greater than σ or equal to σ. In order to ensure that the materials used for the locking buckle 22 and the limit block 11 can meet the anti-rotation strength requirements, the embodiment of the present invention calculates the allowable stress σ of the locking buckle 22 and the area S of the abutment area 223 according to the first strength design formula, and then selects the materials of the locking buckle 22 and the limit block 11 according to the allowable stress σ, and designs the dimensions of the limit section 2222 and the limit block 11 according to the area S of the abutment area 223, so that the locking buckle 22 and the limit block 11 can stably lock the mixing drum 200, further improving the anti-rotation stability. It can be understood that the two limit arms 222 of the locking buckle 22 are respectively formed with abutment areas 223, and the number of abutment areas 223 is consistent with the number of limit blocks 11 and is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0074] Furthermore, In the formula, k is the design safety factor, k is a constant and k=1.3~1.5, σ0 is the maximum stress generated by the abutment between the abutment area 223 and the limit block 11, so as to determine the stress on the locking buckle 22 in the locked position, thereby facilitating the selection of the materials of the locking buckle 22 and the limit block 11 and the design of the dimensions of the locking buckle 22 and the limit block 11, thereby ensuring the structural design strength.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present invention, the locking assembly 20 further includes a handle 25, which is provided on the side of the locking buckle 22 facing away from the limiting member 10. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the handle 25 is used for the operator to hold and push and pull the handle 25 to drive the locking buckle 22 to swing between the unlocked position and the locked position. The setting of the handle 25 makes it convenient for the operator to apply external force to the locking buckle 22 to overcome the locking limit force or the self-locking limit force, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present invention, the self-locking limiting force generated by the locking assembly 20 when the locking buckle 22 is switched to the unlocked position satisfies the second strength design formula, which is set to:

[0077] Where, F1 is the self-locking limit force; τ m1 Δτ is the moment when the locking buckle 22 is switched to the unlocked position and the gravity of the locking buckle 22 acts on the hinge point, where the hinge point is the connection point between the locking buckle 22 and the mounting seat 21; s1The self-locking elastic force of the limiting elastic member 23 acts on the hinge point. The two ends of the limiting elastic member 23 are respectively connected to the mounting seat 21 and the locking buckle 22; l is the distance between the handle 25 and the hinge point.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, when the locking buckle 22 is in the unlocked position, the locking assembly 20 generates a self-locking limiting force to limit the locking buckle 22 from swinging toward the locked position, thereby limiting the locking buckle 22 to the unlocked position. The self-locking limiting force is set to F1. The swinging section 2221 of the locking buckle 22 is hinged to the mounting plate 212 of the mounting seat 21 through the rotating shaft 213, that is, the rotating shaft 213 is set as the hinge point. When the locking buckle 22 is in the unlocked position, the torque of the locking buckle 22 acting on the rotating shaft 213 due to the gravity is set to τ m1 When the locking buckle 22 is in the unlocked position, the limiting elastic member 23 is in the elastic limit state and generates a self-locking elastic force. The self-locking elastic force is used to limit the locking buckle 22 from swinging toward the locked position, thereby limiting the locking buckle 22 to the unlocked position. When the locking buckle 22 is in the unlocked position, the torque of the self-locking elastic force acting on the rotating shaft 213 is set to Δτ. s1 , τ1=τ m1 +Δτ s1 , τ1 is the maximum pushing torque of the handle 25 in the unlocking position, according to The self-locking limiting force is calculated and designed, where l is the distance between the center of gravity of the handle 25 and the hinge point. This can not only ensure the limiting stability of the locking buckle 22 in the unlocked position, but also flexibly set the self-locking limiting force according to the operator's operating habits and actual conditions. The weight of the locking buckle 22 and the elastic deformation of the limiting elastic part 23 are designed according to the self-locking limiting force, thereby improving the structural stability and limiting reliability.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present invention, the locking limit force generated by the locking assembly 20 when the locking buckle 22 is switched to the locked position satisfies the third strength design formula, which is set to:

[0080] Where, F2 is the locking limit force; τ m2 Δτ is the moment when the locking buckle 22 is switched to the locked position and the gravity of the locking buckle 22 acts on the hinge point, where the hinge point is the connection point between the locking buckle 22 and the mounting seat 21; s2 The torque of the locking elastic force of the limiting elastic member 23 acting on the hinge point, the two ends of the limiting elastic member 23 are respectively connected to the mounting seat 21 and the locking buckle 22; l is the distance between the handle 25 and the hinge point.

[0081] like Figure 6As shown, when the locking buckle 22 is in the locked position, the locking assembly 20 generates a locking limiting force to limit the locking buckle 22 from swinging toward the unlocked position, thereby limiting the locking buckle 22 in the locked position. The locking limiting force is set to F2. When the locking buckle 22 is in the locked position, the moment of the gravity of the locking buckle 22 acting on the rotating shaft 213 is set to τ m2 When the locking buckle 22 is in the locked position, the limiting elastic member 23 is in the elastic limit state and generates a locking elastic force. The locking elastic force is used to limit the locking buckle 22 from swinging toward the unlocked position, thereby limiting the locking buckle 22 to the locked position. When the locking buckle 22 is in the locked position, the torque of the locking elastic force acting on the rotating shaft 213 is set to Δτ. s2 , τ2=τ m2 +Δτ s2 , τ2 is the maximum pushing torque of the handle 25 in the locking position, according to The locking limit force is calculated and designed, where l is the distance between the center of gravity of the handle 25 and the hinge point. This can not only ensure the limiting stability of the locking buckle 22 in the locking position, but also flexibly set the locking limit force according to the operator's operating habits and actual conditions. The weight of the locking buckle 22 and the elastic deformation of the limiting elastic part 23 are designed according to the locking limit force, thereby improving the structural stability and limiting reliability.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly 20 also includes a fastener 26, which is provided on the mounting seat 21, and the fastener 26 is used to connect with the locking buckle 22 when the locking buckle 22 is switched to the unlocked position. The fastener 26 is connected to the locking buckle 22 to limit the locking buckle 22 in the unlocked position, thereby further improving the limiting reliability.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly 20 also includes a limit plate 27, which is provided on the mounting seat 21, and the locking buckle 22 abuts against the limit plate 27 when switched to the unlocked position. The limit plate 27 abuts against the locking buckle 22 to limit the locking buckle 22 from further swinging away from the limit block 11, effectively preventing the handle 25 from swinging too much and pinching the operator, thereby improving operational safety and limit stability.
