[0002] Articulated frames are commonly used in the field of engineering machinery. They include a front frame and a rear frame connected in an articulated manner. A steering cylinder is connected between the front and rear frames. The steering cylinder is retracted to push the front and rear frames to twist relative to each other around the intersection pin shaft to achieve steering.
[0003] In construction machinery, two steering cylinders are usually arranged symmetrically about the middle plane. However, in some micro-construction machinery, due to the limited space on the front and rear frames, there is often not enough space to install two steering cylinders. In addition, the steering force required on micro-machines is relatively small, and often a single steering cylinder can meet the steering requirements. Therefore, how to reasonably configure a single steering cylinder on a micro-machine has become a problem that machine manufacturers need to face. Utility Model Content

The support main plate 31 and the support sub-plate 32 are provided with coaxially aligned steering cylinder pin shaft holes 36.
[0034] The left and right wing boxes of the articulated front frame 100 are respectively the left wing box 10 and the right wing box 20, and the inner side plate of the left wing box 10 is opposite to the inner side plate of the right wing box 20. The left and right ends of the support main board 31 are welded to the inner side plates of the left wing box 10 and the inner side plates of the right wing box 20.
[0035] Optionally, the support main plate 31 is located on the upper side of the support sub-plate 32. In some other embodiments, the support main plate 31 may also be located on the lower side of the support sub-plate 32.
[0036] Optionally, the support sub-plate 32 is arranged away from the middle plane of the front frame; Figure 2 As shown, the support sub-plate 32 is arranged toward the right side, the right end of the support sub-plate 32 is adjacent to the inner side plate of the right wing box 20, and the left end of the support sub-plate 32 is adjacent to the middle surface of the front frame. In some other embodiments, the support sub-plate 32 can also be arranged toward the left side, that is, the left end of the support sub-plate 32 is adjacent to the inner side plate of the left wing box 10, and the right end of the support sub-plate 32 is adjacent to the middle surface of the front frame.
[0037] The steering cylinder support 30 also includes a first support plate 33 and a second support plate 34. Figure 3 As shown, the first support plate 33 is arranged vertically, and is vertically welded to the first end (i.e., the left end) of the support sub-plate 32 adjacent to the middle surface of the front frame in the left-right direction and the support main plate 31. The second end (i.e., the right end) of the support sub-plate 32 away from the middle surface of the front frame in the left-right direction is vertically welded to the second support plate 34, and the second support plate 34 is attached to the inner side plate of the right wing box 20 and is vertically welded to the right end of the support main plate 31. In some other embodiments, the right end of the support sub-plate 32 can also be directly welded to the inner side plate of the right wing box 20.
[0038] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the lower side of the support main plate 31 and the upper side of the support sub-plate 32 are opposite to each other, and the two opposite sides are both provided with shaft seat rings 37 surrounding the respective steering cylinder pin shaft holes 36.
[0039] Optionally, the steering cylinder support 30 further includes a triangular rib 35, which is welded between the first support plate 33 and the support main plate 31. Further, the triangular rib 35 is arranged on the side of the support plate 33 facing away from the steering cylinder pin hole (the left side of the support plate).
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the hinge plates in the steering hinge assembly 40 include an upper hinge plate 41 and a lower hinge plate 42 , and the upper hinge plate 41 and the lower hinge plate 42 are provided with coaxial hinge holes for hinged connection with the articulated rear frame 200 .
[0041] like Figure 1 Figure 2As shown, the arrangement height of the steering cylinder support 30 in the vertical direction is located between the upper hinge plate 41 and the lower hinge plate 42. A reinforcing plate 43 is arranged between the upper hinge plate 41 and the lower hinge plate 2. The upper and lower sides of the reinforcing plate 43 are correspondingly welded to the upper hinge plate 41 and the lower hinge plate 42. The reinforcing plate 43 is a bent plate with left and right ends bent forward. A steering cylinder avoidance hole 44 that penetrates front and back is arranged on the reinforcing plate 43 at the rear position of the steering cylinder pin shaft hole 36 on the steering cylinder support 30, so that the steering cylinder 50 can extend from front to back and swing within a certain range.
[0042] This embodiment also provides a loader, which is an articulated frame, and the articulated frame includes the aforementioned articulated front frame 100. A steering cylinder 50 is arranged between the articulated front frame 100 and the articulated rear frame 200. Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown, the front end of the steering cylinder 50 is connected to the steering cylinder support 30 through a pin shaft, and the rear end of the steering cylinder 50 is connected to the articulated rear frame 200. Most of the cylinder barrel of the steering cylinder 50 is located in the articulated front frame 100 and is connected to the steering cylinder support 30, so that there is enough clearance between the steering cylinder 50 and the inner side plate of the right wing box 20, thereby providing a swing space for the steering cylinder 50 when it is extended or retracted. This structure and arrangement of the steering cylinder support 30 makes the articulated frame structure compact and facilitates the arrangement of the steering cylinder.
