Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of steering control of a backhoe loader vehicle, in particular to a four-wheel steering control circuit of a backhoe loader. Background Art
[0002] As a multifunctional engineering machinery, backhoe loaders have been widely used in various construction projects. Traditional backhoe loaders usually adopt a steering method with front wheels steering and fixed rear wheels. However, this steering method has some obvious limitations in practical applications.
[0003] First, the steering method with front wheels steering and fixed rear wheels will result in a large turning radius. In open areas, this steering method can meet the normal operation requirements of the equipment. However, in narrow spaces such as indoors, lanes or urban blocks, the large turning radius limits the flexibility of the equipment. Therefore, when operators drive the backhoe loader into these areas, it is often difficult to make effective turns.
[0004] Secondly, since it is impossible to turn effectively in a small space, operators need to move the vehicle frequently to adjust the direction. This frequent vehicle movement not only reduces work efficiency and increases operation time, but may also cause the equipment to collide with surrounding objects, damaging the equipment or surrounding facilities. In addition, frequent vehicle movement may also have a negative impact on the physical health of operators, increasing fatigue and safety risks.
[0005] In summary, the steering method of existing excavator loaders has obvious problems in a narrow space, including excessive turning radius, limited operational flexibility and safety hazards. Utility Model Content
