Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of airport freight transportation, in particular to a tail pin of an aircraft container tray. Background Art

[0002] Airport container pallet is a transport trailer used in the field of airport freight, which can load cargo for transportation. When carrying out trailer operation, the trailer and pallet, and pallets need to be connected for towing, usually through the end pin.

[0003] Most of the existing connection devices between airport tow trucks are composed of a towing pin, a fixing frame and a U-shaped seat, which are connected to the mop of the rear vehicle through the towing pin. The towing pin does not have the function of automatically dropping and locking, and needs to be manually lifted by an operator and rotated before locking. When the mop of the rear vehicle moves below the towing pin, most of the existing connection devices require the operator to manually move the towing pin down and lock it. The manual locking method is prone to forgetting to lock, and it is not convenient to automatically lock and prevent it from falling when pulling up the towing pin.

[0004] The existing technology patents CN201020032933.6 (airport trailer rear tow hook), CN202020988648.5 (a solder-free anti-detachment device for the airport trailer rear tow hook pin), and CN202120018077.7 (a solder-free anti-detachment device for airport trailers) all use a lifting and rotating locking structure for locking and fixing, which has low work efficiency and cannot meet the use requirements.

Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 7 , an embodiment provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0033] An aircraft container tray tail pin includes a fixing frame, a lifting pin assembly, and a push rod assembly:

[0034] The fixing frame includes a vertical plate 1, and an upper plate 2, a middle plate 3, and a lower plate 4 are fixedly installed on the front of the vertical plate 1 in sequence from top to bottom. The ends of the upper plate 2 and the middle plate 3 are fixedly connected to the arc plate 19. A spring support 7 is welded on the lower surface of the upper plate 2. The upper plate 2, the middle plate 3, the lower plate 4 and the spring support 7 are all provided with circular through holes, and the circular through holes are coaxially arranged.

[0035] The lifting pin assembly includes a lifting pin 8, which passes through the circular through holes on the upper plate 2, the middle plate 3, the lower plate 4 and the spring support 7. A washer 5 fixedly connected to the lifting pin 8 is sleeved on the lifting pin 8, and the washer 5 is arranged between the upper plate 2 and the middle plate 3. A limit spring 9 located between the spring support 7 and the washer 5 is sleeved on the lifting pin 8; a vertical through hole 29 and a first fixing hole 10 and a second fixing hole 11 passing through the vertical through hole 29 are provided on the top of the lifting pin 8; a shift block 12 and an upper locking tongue 13 that cooperate with each other are provided in the vertical through hole 29, the shift block 12 is fixedly connected to the handle shaft 14, the handle shaft 14 passes through the first fixing hole 10 and is rotatably connected to the lifting pin 8, and handle brackets 15 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the handle shaft 14, and a handle 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the handle bracket 15; the upper locking tongue 13 passes through the second fixing hole 11 and is rotatably connected to the lifting pin 8 through the locking tongue pin 27;

[0036] Specifically, the lifting pin 8 is also provided with a third fixing hole 20, and the washer 5 is provided with a fourth fixing hole 21. The washer 5 is fixedly connected to the lifting pin 8 by the washer pin 28 passing through the fourth fixing hole 21 and the third fixing hole 20. At the same time, the washer 5 includes a horizontally arranged ring plate 33 and a vertically arranged positioning cylinder 34. The positioning cylinder 34 is provided with a fourth positioning hole 21, and the positioning cylinder 34 is sleeved with a washer cover plate 6.

[0037] Preferably, the shift block 12 includes a first rotating portion 31 fixedly connected to the handle shaft 14, and a vertical stop portion 24 and two symmetrically arranged first limit portions 22 are provided on the first rotating portion 31, and the first limit portions 22 are arranged on both sides of the abutment point where the first rotating portion 31 and the top surface of the vertical through hole 29 abut against each other, so as to achieve fixed locking of the lifting pin assembly and the fixing seat;

[0038] At the same time, the upper lock tongue 13 includes a second rotating portion 32 fixedly connected to the lock tongue pin 27, a long handle portion 23 is provided at the top of the second rotating portion 32, and a first cross block portion 25 perpendicular to the long handle portion 23 is also provided on the second rotating portion 32, the bottom end of the second rotating portion 32 abuts against the bottom surface of the vertical through hole 29, and a second limiting portion 30 located on the second rotating portion is provided at a diagonal position of the first cross block portion 25; the long handle portion 23 is in contact and connected with the vertical block portion 24.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that the first limiting portion 22 on the shift block 12 will limit the excessive rotation of the handle 16. During the rotation of the handle 16, the first limiting portion 22 will contact the inner top surface of the vertical through hole 29 and cannot continue to rotate. At the same time, when the shift block 12 drives the upper lock tongue 13 to rotate, the second limiting portion 30 will limit the excessive rotation of the upper lock tongue 13, and the third limiting portion 30 will contact the inner bottom surface of the vertical through hole 29 to play a limiting role.

[0040] The push rod assembly includes a push rod 18 and a push rod ear seat 17 arranged at the bottom of the back side of the vertical plate 1. The push rod 18 is rotatably connected to the push rod ear seat 17 through a push rod pin. The push rod 18 passes through the rectangular through holes set on the middle plate 3, the lower plate 4, and the vertical plate 1 to achieve the upward limit of the pin before the trailer and the towing tray, and the towing trays are connected. Specifically, the push rod 18 is an L-shaped structure, and a second cross block 26 is provided on the top of the push rod 18.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] When the tray is unlocked, when in the locked state, the handle bracket 15 is in a horizontal position, the long handle 23 of the shift block 12 contacts the upper lock tongue 13 but does not generate any force, and the upper lock tongue 13 will be horizontally placed at the bottom of the vertical through hole 29 due to gravity. At this time, the long handle 23 of the upper lock tongue 13 is in a vertical state, and the first cross block 25 of the upper lock tongue 13 will protrude the lifting pin 8. The first cross block 25 will contact the bottom of the upper plate 2 during the lifting process and be limited by the upper plate 2 to achieve anti-jumping and complete the tail pin fixing and locking work.

[0043] Before the tray is docked (i.e. locked), the handle bracket 15 is pulled to the vertical direction, the handle bracket 15 will drive the handle shaft 14 to rotate together, the handle shaft 14 will drive the shift block 12 to rotate, the vertical stop 24 on the shift block 12 will touch the long handle 23 of the upper locking tongue 13 in the vertical state during the rotation process, the upper locking tongue 13 will move together under the external force of the shift block 12, at this time the first cross block 25 of the upper locking tongue 13 will be retracted into the rectangular through hole 29, and will no longer be limited by the upper plate 2 during the process of lifting the lifting pin assembly. At this time, hold the handle 16 to lift the lifting pin assembly, the limit spring 9 will be compressed during the lifting process of the lifting pin assembly, when the washer 5 touches the second cross block 25 of the push rod 18 When the washer 5 completely passes over the top rod 18, the top rod 18 returns to its initial position due to gravity. At this time, the handle 16 is released, and the compressed limit spring 9 drives the lifting pin assembly to move downward. The washer 5 is limited and fixed on the top of the second cross block 26 of the top rod 18. At this time, there is no lifting pin 8 between the middle plate 3 and the lower plate 4. The tow tray or the mop of the trailer that needs to be docked can be placed between the middle plate 3 and the lower plate 4. The mop hits the top rod 18, and the top rod 18 releases the limit on the washer 5. The washer 5 falls due to the action of the limit spring 9, and automatic docking can be achieved without human unlocking and lowering.

[0044] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
