Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle rear guardrails, in particular to a rear guardrail device for a mining dump truck. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle rear guardrail device, as an indispensable safety component of a mining dump truck, has the core function of providing a solid protective barrier for the vehicle's rear axle and brake air chamber to resist various unexpected impacts and collisions under harsh working conditions.

[0003] In the current market environment, the rear guardrail design of most mining dump trucks generally adopts a more traditional structural form, that is, a combination of connecting plates on both sides and welded round pipes. Although this design meets the basic protection needs to a certain extent, its inherent problems and limitations are becoming increasingly prominent.

[0004] Specifically, the connecting plates on both sides are often welded with reinforcement ribs inside or outside to enhance the strength and rigidity of the overall structure in order to cope with the complex and changeable working environment of the mine. However, this practice not only increases the types and quantities of materials in the manufacturing process, making supply chain management more complicated, but also directly increases production costs. In addition, a large number of welding operations are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also introduce potential safety hazards due to unstable welding quality.

[0005] Although the welded round tubes as the main structure are manufactured in accordance with national standards and have a certain impact resistance, their specifications need to be customized according to the specific vehicle model and protection requirements, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and cost of design and production. More importantly, during the frequent heavy-load operations of mining dump trucks, the round tubes are easily bent and deformed by the strong impact from the rear, which in turn affects the protection efficiency of the entire rear guardrail.

[0006] What is more serious is that, since the overall assembly structure of the current rear guardrail is mostly designed to be vertically downward, when impacted, this structure tends to sag inward along the direction of the vehicle's travel. This deformation trend directly threatens the safety of the rear axle and brake chamber. Once these key components are damaged, it will not only affect the vehicle's driving stability and braking performance, but may also cause serious safety accidents, causing immeasurable damage to the driver and the surrounding environment.

[0007] As described above, the rear guardrail structure in the prior art has the problems of high welding manufacturing cost, easy bending and deformation, heavy structure, and low actual assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0008] To solve the technical problems of the existing rear guardrail structure, such as high welding manufacturing cost, easy bending deformation, heavy structure, and low actual assembly efficiency, the utility model provides a rear guardrail device for a mining dump truck.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0010] A rear guardrail device for a mining dump truck includes a protection beam. Both ends of the protection beam are connected with connecting plates. The top ends of the connecting plates are connected to the bottom of the vehicle frame. The two connecting plates have the same structure and are arranged in parallel. The edges of the connecting plates are bent towards the side away from the protection beam, and the bottom ends of the connecting plates are inclined towards the direction away from the vehicle head; the cross-section of the protection beam is in the shape of "G", double "G", "C", or double "C", or the protection beam is a rectangular profile.

[0011] Adopting the above structural scheme, first, the connecting plates adopt a structure with outward bending to increase their own strength. The structure is simple and lightweight, the assembly efficiency is high, and the bending process has high processing efficiency and low cost, which is conducive to shortening the manufacturing cycle of the connecting plates and reducing the processing cost of the connecting plates. Second, the bottom ends of the connecting plates are inclined towards the direction away from the vehicle head, making the overall structure of the rear guardrail device inclined in the opposite direction of the vehicle's travel. When the vehicle is impacted from the rear, it will play a huge buffering role and can exert the maximum protection effect. Third, the cross-section of the protection beam is in the shape of "G", double "G", "C", or double "C", or the protection beam is a rectangular profile, which can not only increase the contact area between the protection beam and the connecting plates on both sides, but also improve the anti-impact ability and thus reduce bending deformation. Moreover, there is no need to select the specifications of the round tubes separately. The structure is simple and lightweight, and the manufacturing and processing efficiency of the protection beam can be greatly improved through the bending process.

[0012] As a preferred implementation scheme of a rear guardrail device for a mining dump truck, a plurality of bolt holes penetrating the connecting plates are opened on the plate surface of the connecting plates, and a connecting bolt is installed in each bolt hole. The connecting plates are connected to the vehicle frame through a plurality of connecting bolts.

[0013] Adopting the above structural scheme, the connecting plates are assembled with the vehicle frame through connecting bolts, and the connection structure is simple and has high strength.

[0014] As a preferred implementation scheme of a rear guardrail device for a mining dump truck, the connecting plates are welded to the protection beam.

[0015] Adopting the above structural scheme, the connecting plates and the protection beam are integrated into one body, improving the connection strength, with a simple structure and strong impact resistance.

[0016] As a preferred implementation scheme of a rear guardrail device for a mining dump truck, a locking support is installed on the side of the connecting plate. One end of the locking support is connected to one end of a locking chain, and the other end of the locking chain is connected to the hook of the locking mechanism of the cargo box rear door.

[0017] With the above structural solution, the locking chain connects the locking support and the locking hook of the locking mechanism on the rear door of the cargo box. After the locking mechanism of the rear door of the cargo box is locked, the connection between the connecting plate and the rear door of the cargo box can not only enhance the impact resistance of the connecting plate, but also further improve the locking force of the locking hook and reduce the bounce of the rear door of the cargo box.

[0018] As a preferred implementation of the rear guardrail device of a mining dump truck, the locking support is located on the side of the connecting plate away from the guard beam.

[0019] As a preferred implementation of the rear guardrail device of a mining dump truck, the connecting plate is welded to the locking support.

[0020] With the above structural solution, the connecting plate and the locking support are integrated into one body, which improves the connection strength, has a simple structure and strong impact resistance.

[0021] As a preferred implementation of the rear guardrail device of a mining dump truck, the locking support and the locking chain are connected by a chain connecting rod. The locking chain includes multiple chain links. The locking support is provided with an installation hole. One end of the chain connecting rod is provided with a connection hole. The chain link of the locking chain passes through the connection hole. The other end of the chain connecting rod is a connection screw. The connection screw penetrates into the installation hole of the locking support, and a fastening nut is threadedly installed on the connection screw.

[0022] With the above structural solution, one section of the locking chain is inserted into the connection hole, the connection screw is inserted into the installation hole, and the fastening nut is screwed onto the connection screw. After the fastening nut is tightened, the chain connecting rod can firmly connect the locking support and the locking chain. The structure is simple and the connection is reliable.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present utility model include:

[0024] First, the connecting plate adopts a structure bent outward to increase its own strength. The structure is simple and light, the assembly efficiency is high, and the processing efficiency of the bending process is high and the cost is low, which is beneficial to shortening the manufacturing cycle of the connecting plate and reducing the processing cost of the connecting plate.

[0025] Second, the bottom end of the connecting plate is inclined away from the head of the vehicle, so that the overall structure of the rear guardrail device is inclined in the opposite direction of the vehicle's travel. When the vehicle is impacted from the rear, it will play a huge buffering role and can play the maximum protection role.

[0026] Third, the cross-section of the guard beam is "G" shaped, double "G" shaped, "C" shaped or double "C" shaped, or the guard beam is a rectangular profile, which can not only increase the contact area between the guard beam and the two side connecting plates, but also improve the impact resistance and reduce the bending deformation. Moreover, there is no need to separately select the specifications of the round tube.

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] Refer to Figures 1-4, in this embodiment, a rear guardrail device for a mining dump truck is proposed, which includes a guard beam 1.

The connecting plates 2 are welded to the guard beam 1, and the top ends of the connecting plates 2 are connected to the bottom of the vehicle frame. Specifically, a number of bolt holes 6 penetrating the connecting plates 2 are formed on the plate surfaces of the connecting plates 2. A connecting bolt is installed in each bolt hole 6, and the connecting plates 2 are connected to the vehicle frame through a number of connecting bolts. The bottom ends of the connecting plates 2 are inclined away from the vehicle head. The two connecting plates 2 have the same structure and are arranged in parallel. The edges of the connecting plates 2 are bent away from the guard beam 1 to form flanges 21.

[0036] A locking support 3 is installed on the side surface of the connecting plate 2. The connecting plate 2 is welded to the locking support 3. The locking support 3 is located on the side of the connecting plate 2 away from the guard beam 1. The locking support 3 is provided with an installation hole 7. One end of the locking support 3 is connected to one end of a locking chain 4. The locking support 3 and the locking chain 4 are connected through a chain connecting rod. The locking chain 4 includes a plurality of chain links 41. The plurality of chain links 41 are buckled one by one corresponding to each other. One end of the chain connecting rod is provided with a connecting hole. The chain link 41 of the locking chain 4 passes through the connecting hole. The other end of the chain connecting rod is a connecting screw. The connecting screw penetrates into the installation hole 7 of the locking support 3.

[0040] The cross-section of the guard beam 1 is in the shape of a "G", double "G", "C" or double "C", or the guard beam 1 is a rectangular profile, which can not only increase the contact area between the guard beam 1 and the two side connecting plates 2, but also improve the impact resistance ability to reduce bending deformation, and there is no need to select the round tube specifications separately. The structure is simple and light, and the manufacturing and processing efficiency of the guard beam 1 can be greatly improved through the bending process.

[0041] The locking chain 4 connects the locking support 3 and the locking hook 5 of the locking mechanism on the rear door of the cargo box.
