Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semi-trailers, and more particularly to a semi-trailer tractor. Background Art

[0002] A semitrailer is a trailer with its axle positioned behind the vehicle's center of gravity and equipped with a hitch that transmits horizontal and vertical forces to the tractor. Semitrailers are typically three-axled and come in a variety of styles, including 11-meter sidecars, 13-meter sidecars, and low-bed trailers. A heavy-duty transport vehicle is connected to the semitrailer's head via a towing pin, while the ball hitch is the key component connecting the power unit and the tractor unit.

[0003] The existing patent is a semi-trailer ball head puller, and the patent authorization announcement number is CN220785952U. A fastening mechanism is provided. During use, the round block is limited by the clamping block and the clamping groove, thereby preventing the connection from loosening when the semi-trailer is driving, ensuring the stability of the semi-trailer ball head puller during use, and having good practicality.

[0004] However, in patent authorization announcement No. CN220785952U, the sphere is placed in the Y-shaped seat, and the two fixing blocks are fixed at the top and bottom of the Y-shaped seat, and the limit blocks are passed through the through holes into the corresponding semicircular grooves. After the placement is completed, the pull rings on both sides are pulled to make the card blocks leave the card slots. At this time, the round block can be rotated, and the rotation of the round block drives the threaded rod to rotate until the round block stops when it can no longer rotate. Since the tractor is not provided with a buffer mechanism, the huge impact force generated during the braking process of the trailer will cause the connecting structure of the tractor to deform, which can easily cause damage to the tractor. Therefore, we propose a semi-trailer tractor to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example:

[0032] See also Figure 1-5A semi-trailer tractor comprises a first connecting seat 1 and a second connecting seat 2 corresponding to the first connecting seat 1. The corresponding surfaces of the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 are fixedly connected to a sleeve 3, and the inner wall of the sleeve 3 is symmetrically provided with a slide groove 8 in the axial position;

[0033] The end of the housing 3 is movably connected to a connector 4, and the end of the connector 4 away from the housing 3 is rotatably connected to a shaft head 5 through a bearing. The middle of the shaft head 5 corresponding to the first connecting seat 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 6, and the shaft head 5 corresponding to the second connecting seat 2 passes through the connecting block 6 and is rotatably connected, and the connecting block 6 is rotatably connected to the shaft head 5;

[0034] The end of the connector 4 away from the shaft head 5 is integrally formed with a stopper 12 located inside the housing 3, and the outer wall of the stopper 12 is fixedly connected to a slider 7 that is slidably connected to the slide groove 8;

[0035] The inner side of the housing 3 is respectively installed with a spring 9 and a damping rod 10;

[0036] It should be noted that when the semi-trailer tractor is in use, the first connecting seat 1 is connected to the front of the vehicle, and the second connecting seat 2 is connected to the trailer, and the two connecting heads 4 are connected by rotation through the shaft head 5 installed between the two connecting heads, so that the trailer can rotate in any direction. When the trailer is in the process of emergency braking, the slider 7 provided on the outer wall of the block 12 cooperates with the slide groove 8 provided on the inner wall of the shell 3 to slide, and then the spring 9 is compressed while the movable end of the damping rod 10 is contracted. The elastic force of the spring 9 can effectively buffer and absorb the impact force generated by the trailer during braking. The movable end of the damping rod 10 is compressed to reduce the energy transfer caused by vibration, impact or other forms of movement, thereby improving the energy absorption effect and avoiding the situation where the connector 4 jumps left and right due to the rebound force of the spring 9, so that the tractor has a good buffering effect and avoids damage due to excessive braking impact force.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer side of the casing 3 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing rib 11 arranged in a right-angled triangle structure, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 11 are arranged in the radial position of the casing 3;

[0038] It should be noted that the provision of the reinforcing ribs 1 can enhance the strength, rigidity and torsional resistance of the casing 3 , thereby overcoming the distortion of the product caused by the uneven stress due to the difference in wall thickness of the casing 3 , thereby increasing the strength of the joint surface.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, a bearing is installed at the joint between the shaft head 5 and the connecting block 6, and the axis lines between the two shaft heads 5 are perpendicular to each other;

[0040] It should be noted that the friction between the shaft head 5 and the connecting block 6 is reduced, the rotation accuracy of the shaft head 5 is guaranteed, and the universal rotation of the tractor is achieved.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the end portion of the housing 3 is fixedly connected to the limiting portion, and the limiting portion abuts against the stopper 12;

[0042] It should be noted that, by providing the limiting portion so that the stopper 12 abuts against the limiting portion, the connector 4 can be effectively prevented from being separated from the housing 3 .

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, one end of the spring 9 is connected to the inner end wall of the housing 3, and the other end of the spring 9 is connected to the stopper 12, one end of the damping rod 10 is fixedly connected to the inner end wall of the housing 3, and the movable end of the damping rod 10 is connected to the stopper 12;

[0044] It should be noted that the elastic force of the spring 9 can effectively buffer and absorb the impact force generated by the trailer during braking. The movable end of the damping rod 10 is compressed to reduce the energy transfer caused by vibration, impact or other forms of movement, thereby improving the energy absorption effect and avoiding the rebound force of the spring 9 causing the connector 4 to jump left and right, so that the tractor has a good buffering effect.

[0045] During use: connect the first connecting seat 1 to the front of the vehicle, connect the second connecting seat 2 to the hanging car, and connect them by rotating the shaft head 5 installed between the two connecting heads 4, so that the hanging car can be rotated in any direction. When the trailer is in the process of emergency braking, the slider 7 provided on the outer wall of the block 12 cooperates with the slide groove 8 provided on the inner wall of the shell 3 to slide, and then the spring 9 is compressed and the movable end of the damping rod 10 is contracted. The elastic force of the spring 9 can effectively buffer and absorb the impact force generated by the trailer during braking. The movable end of the damping rod 10 is compressed to reduce the energy transfer caused by vibration, impact or other forms of movement, thereby improving the energy absorption effect and avoiding the situation where the connector 4 jumps left and right due to the rebound force of the spring 9, so that the tractor has a good buffering effect.
