The shaft on the flip bar 1 passes through the slider 3, the spring 4, and the guide sleeve 5 in sequence, and is fixed to the base welding assembly 2 with a washer 6 and a locking nut 7. The safety bar proximity switch device 9 is fixed to the base welding assembly 2. The cover 8 is fixed to the base welding assembly 2 by bolts 10. The base welding assembly 2 is connected to the bottom plate of the cab. The flip bar 1 has two states: raised and flat. The safety bar proximity switch device 9 controls the movement of the entire skid loader by sensing the raised and flat states of the safety bar.
[0035] like Figure 4 The flip fence 1 shown is composed of a shaft 11, a sleeve 12, a stopper 13, a sensor plate 14, a frame 15, and a sheath 16. The shaft 11 and the sleeve 12 are welded into a small assembly, which is then welded to the end face of the frame 15. The stopper 13 is welded to the sleeve 12, the sensor plate 14 is welded to the frame 15, and the sheath 16 is coated on the frame 15. The shaft 11 is set as a stepped shaft, which is large in the middle and small at both ends. The small head at one end is set as a thread for installing a washer and a locking nut, and the small head at the other end is set as a hexagonal prism; the frame 15 is a round tube with two sections of bending; the sleeve 12 is set as a cylinder, one end face is a plane, and the other end face is provided with 4 evenly distributed protruding teeth and grooves, and the protruding teeth and the grooves are transitioned with a 135° inclined plane. The center of the sleeve is provided with a hexagonal hole matching the shaft 11; the stopper 13 is a semicircular ring; the sheath 16 is a layer of foamed parts coated outside the frame 15.
[0036] like Figure 5 The base welding assembly 2 shown is welded by a vertical pipe 17, a second stopper 18, a mounting seat 19, a proximity switch mounting plate 20 and a bottom plate 21. Two threaded holes are provided on one side of the vertical pipe 17, and the other two opposite sides are provided with special-shaped holes with straight lines on the top and bottom and arcs on the left and right, which are convenient for the installation of the slider 3 and the guide sleeve 5 and prevent rotation; the second stopper 18 is a quarter-circular ring, welded to the lower part of the special-shaped hole of the vertical pipe 17 and concentric with it, and the second stopper 18 and the first stopper 13 cooperate with each other; the mounting seat 19 is a threaded column welded on the opposite side of the threaded hole of the vertical pipe 17; the proximity switch mounting plate 20 is an L-shaped plate with a circular hole on one side; the bottom plate 21 is provided with a mounting hole for connecting with the bottom plate of the cab.
[0037] like Figure 6As shown, the slider 3 is similar in structure to the sleeve 12, which is cylindrical, with one end face being a plane and the other end face being provided with four evenly distributed protruding teeth and grooves, with a 135° inclined transition between the protruding teeth and the grooves, and two upper and lower steps matching the special-shaped holes on the riser 17 are provided to prevent the slider 3 from falling out of the base welding assembly during rotation and horizontal movement, and the slider 3 and the sleeve 12 are meshed with each other.

In the process of laying the flip fence 1 flat and raising it, the operator applies force on the flip fence 1, the flip fence 1 rotates and squeezes the slider 3 and the spring 4, the spring 4 is compressed, the slider 3 moves horizontally toward the inside of the vertical pipe 17, the protruding teeth on the sliding sleeve 12 turn to the next groove on the slider 3, and the limit block 1 13 collides with the limit block 2 18, preventing the flip fence 1 from continuing to rotate, ensuring that the flip angle of the flip fence 1 is 90°.
