[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] In one embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a folding leg for a trailer comprises an outer sleeve 11, a base 13 and a U-shaped member assembly 16, wherein the inner sleeve assembly 12 is slidably connected inside the outer sleeve 11, a U-shaped connector is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper end of the base 13, the inner sleeve assembly 12 and the U-shaped connector are matched and connected by a hexagonal bolt 14 and a nylon locking nut 15, a driving frame 17 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the outer sleeve 11, an upper sleeve 29 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the driving frame 17, a U-shaped member assembly 16 is installed outside the upper sleeve 29, a mounting bracket 28 is arranged on the upper end of the U-shaped member assembly 16, and the U-shaped member assembly 16 and the mounting bracket 28 are connected by a hexagonal bolt 14 and a nylon locking nut 15; an adjusting structure is arranged inside the outer sleeve 11 and the driving frame 17 for adjusting the length of the leg; a movable structure is arranged at the connection between the upper sleeve 29 and the U-shaped member assembly 16 for folding and stowing the leg.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 28 is welded to the chassis of the trailer, and the base 13 is supported on the ground to play a supporting role. The staff extends or retracts the legs by adjusting the structure. When the legs are not in use, the staff folds and stows the legs through the movable structure.

[0027] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment structure includes a nut 31, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the inner sleeve assembly 12. The internal thread of the nut 31 is connected to the adjusting screw 21. A bearing 23 is installed on the outer wall of the adjusting screw 21. A flat washer 24 is installed at the bottom of the bearing 23. A driving unit is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the adjusting screw 21.

[0028] The adjusting screw 21 is driven to rotate by the driving unit, and the adjusting screw 21 causes the nut 31 to move up and down in one direction through thread transmission, thereby completing extension or retraction, thereby pushing the inner sleeve assembly 12 to move up and down, so as to achieve the effect of supporting the trailer with the outriggers.

[0029] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the driving unit includes a second bevel gear 32, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the adjusting screw. The second bevel gear 32 is located inside the driving frame 17. The second bevel gear 32 is meshedly connected to the first bevel gear 25. One end of the first bevel gear 25 extends to the front end of the driving frame 17 and is fixedly connected to the wheel shaft 22.

[0030] The first bevel gear 25 is driven to rotate by the manual rotating wheel shaft 22, and the first bevel gear 25 drives the second bevel gear 32 to rotate through the mutually meshing teeth, thereby driving the adjusting screw 21 to rotate, thereby making the base 13 in close contact with the ground, so that the legs can support the trailer.

[0031] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the movable structure includes a connecting disc 33, which is fixedly mounted on the front end of the upper sleeve 29. The connecting disc 33, the U-shaped component assembly 16 and the upper sleeve 29 are matched and connected at the middle position of the connecting disc 33 through the hexagonal head bolt 14 and the nylon locking nut 15. The upper sleeve 29 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the hexagonal head bolt 14. A plurality of adjustment holes are opened at the front end of the connecting disc 33, and a limiting unit is installed at the front end of the U-shaped component assembly 16.

[0032] When the outrigger is not in use, the limiting unit is pulled to make the upper sleeve 29 movable, thereby making the outer sleeve 11 movable, and the outer sleeve 11 is rotated 90° to reach a folded state, and the limiting unit is released. The limiting unit puts the outrigger in a folded state, which is convenient for carrying on a trailer.

[0033] In one embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting unit includes a handle assembly 19, which is installed at the front end of the U-shaped part assembly 16, one end of the handle assembly 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, the middle position of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to an elastic cylindrical pin 30, the rear end of the connecting plate is symmetrically provided with perforations, the front end of the U-shaped part assembly 16 is fixedly installed with a movable sleeve corresponding to the perforations, the interior of the movable sleeve is slidably connected with a push rod pin 20, one end of the push rod pin 20 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, the connecting rod extends between the connecting plate and the handle assembly 19, a hanging ring 27 is installed at the end of the connecting rod away from the push rod pin 20, a return spring 18 is arranged on the outside of the connecting rod, and one end of the return spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable sleeve.

[0034] When the outrigger is not in use, the handle assembly 19 is pulled, and the handle assembly 19 drives the push rod pin 20 to slide on the inner wall of the movable sleeve, the return spring 18 is compressed, and the staff folds the outrigger. After the outrigger is folded, the handle assembly 19 is released, and the return spring 18 rebounds, thereby resetting the handle assembly 19 and the push rod pin 20. The push rod pin 20 restricts the outrigger to a folded state, which is convenient for carrying on a trailer.

[0035] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, plastic square plugs 26 are installed at both left and right ends of the driving frame 17.

[0036] When problems occur with the first bevel gear 25 and the second bevel gear 32 inside the drive frame 17, the staff can pull out the plastic square plug 26 to facilitate repair of the first bevel gear 25 and the second bevel gear 32 inside the drive frame 17; during daily use, the plastic square plug 26 can prevent impurities from entering the drive frame 17, thereby extending the service life of the support legs.

[0037] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the bottom end of the base 13 is provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0038] By providing an anti-skid layer at the bottom of the base 13, the friction coefficient of the bottom of the base 13 is increased, so that the legs can stably support the trailer and prevent the trailer from moving.

[0039] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a sponge cover is installed on the outer surface of the handle assembly 19.

[0040] By installing a sponge cover on the outer surface of the handle assembly 19, the worker's grip on the handle assembly 19 is enhanced, making it easier for the worker to pull the handle assembly 19, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the restriction structure.

[0041] The above embodiment discloses a folding leg for a trailer, wherein the mounting bracket 28 is welded to the chassis of the trailer, and the base 13 is supported on the ground to play a supporting role. The rotating wheel shaft 22 is manually rotated to drive the first bevel gear 25 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 25 drives the second bevel gear 32 to rotate by mutual engagement; thereby rotating the adjusting screw 21, and the adjusting screw 21 causes the nut 31 to move up and down in one direction through thread transmission, so as to complete the extension or retraction, thereby pushing the inner sleeve assembly 12 to move up and down, so as to achieve the purpose of supporting the trailer by the leg. Pull the handle assembly 19 horizontally to pull its push rod pin 20 out of the adjustment hole of the connecting disc 33, so that the outer sleeve 11 is in a movable state; when the leg is not in use, pull the handle assembly 19 to rotate the outer sleeve 11 90° to reach a folded state, which is convenient for carrying and using the trailer.

[0042] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the present technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
