Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of semitrailer shock absorbing structures, and in particular relates to a semitrailer suspension shock absorbing device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional semi-trailers have a heavy vehicle weight. Before the overweight control, in order to carry more and run faster and ensure the strength of the frame, the thickness of the upper and lower wing plates and web plates of the beam is generally large. The strength level of the beam material is low, and manganese steel Q355 is mostly used. The thickness of the suspension vertical plates, connecting plates, pull rods and other components is large, and the load-bearing capacity is strong. Due to its heavy weight, the fuel consumption of the whole vehicle is high.

[0003] As traffic management departments strengthen their efforts to control overloaded transportation, vehicle lightweighting has gradually become an industry trend. More and more car owners prefer to choose products with stable performance but lighter weight when purchasing trailers and their accessories. This has also, to a certain extent, driven trailer and accessories manufacturers to continuously optimize and improve materials, processes, structures, etc. The lightweight of semi-trailers corresponds to the application of high-strength materials with higher strength levels. However, compared with the manganese steel used before the overload control, the high-strength materials of lightweight semi-trailers have poor ductility. When an unloaded vehicle traveling at high speed passes through a shock absorber or in bad road conditions, the impact of the suspension on the beam is destructive, especially the high-strength lightweight semi-trailers currently launched by manufacturers on the market.

[0004] Through observation and research on the rigid suspension system of lightweight semi-trailers, it is found that the balance arm device in the suspension system swings greatly when the vehicle passes through the shock absorber belt or in bad road conditions. The impact on the trailer beam through the bracket is rigid. This rigid impact is changed to flexible force through structural optimization, thereby optimizing the force system, which helps to protect the beam, extend the service life of the beam, and improve the use effect. This has become one of our research directions. The improved suspension system has a wider range of use and stronger impact resistance. It can effectively reduce the vibration amplitude, reduce noise, and reduce damage to the frame beam due to severe impact. Thereby effectively extending the service life of the frame and improving the use effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a semi-trailer suspension shock absorbing device to solve the problem of large swing amplitude of the existing semi-trailer suspension device recorded in the background technology and rigid impact between the bracket and the beam.

[0008] In the above-mentioned semi-trailer suspension shock absorbing device, as a preferred solution, the mounting grooves are located on both sides of the balance arm shaft hole, and the two mounting grooves are symmetrically arranged about the shaft hole.

[0009] In the above-mentioned semi-trailer suspension shock absorbing device, as a preferred solution, the shock absorbing rubber pad is a cylinder or a rectangle.

[0011] The utility model provides a semi-trailer suspension shock absorbing device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The semi-trailer suspension shock absorbing device provided by the utility model is provided with a rubber buffer pad at the place where the balance arm and the bracket are in rigid contact. When the balance arm swings greatly when the vehicle encounters a severe impact during driving, the rubber buffer pad will play a good buffering role. Thus, the probability of damage to the beam caused by severe impact can be reduced.

[0013] The setting of the shock-absorbing rubber pad transforms the rigid force between the balance arm and the bracket into a relatively soft flexible force, thereby optimizing the impact force of the suspension system, improving the complex situation of the frame beam being subjected to severe impact force, and extending its service life.
