Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of skill assessment / competition venue facilities, and particularly to a return-type suspension rod mechanism. Background Technique

[0002] In forklift competitions, multiple obstacle poles are set up in the competition venue based on the needs of competition items. During the competition, forklift drivers drive vehicles around the obstacle poles for speed racing operations, and the driving speeds are all very fast. Whether the obstacle poles are touched is one of the important scoring criteria. In the current venue facilities, an iron disc is used as the base of the obstacle pole, and a plastic rod is vertically inserted on it. During the competition, at least 2 referees are required to make judgments. However, during the competition process, as long as the obstacle pole is touched, the referee has to run to straighten and reset it. The intense schedule and fast vehicle speed make this straightening operation have relatively large potential safety hazards. Moreover, after straightening, it is often too late to accurately adjust the position, and the venue has to be vacated, which to a certain extent affects the scoring in the later stage of the competition.

[0003] In new equipment and intelligent equipment, there are also some new types of obstacle poles, which achieve automatic reset by adding some spring reset structures on the poles. However, there is generally a problem of too long reset time. Driven by the spring, after the obstacle pole is touched, it shakes and vibrates repeatedly, with a long stabilization time and inaccurate return position. We have conducted tests on the new equipment. After repeating several times, the longest reset time reaches 60 seconds, and the vertical projection points of each subsequent return are inconsistent. It cannot be applied in high-speed competitions, nor can it provide high-quality and high-demand competition conditions. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and not to limit the scope of the present utility model. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present utility model, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by this application.

[0024] As shown in the figure, this mechanism includes, from top to bottom in sequence: a fixed plate 1, an installation cylinder 2, a matching plate 3, a rod 4, and a magnetic part 5.

[0025] It includes a fixed plate 1 fixedly installed by hanging. Installation holes are provided on the periphery of the fixed plate 1 to facilitate hoisting and fixing.

[0026] An installation cylinder 2 fixedly connected to it is provided on the bottom surface of the fixed plate 1. The installation cylinder 2 is a cylindrical cylinder in this example. A horizontal positioning surface 7 is provided at the bottom end of the installation cylinder 2. An upwardly concave spherical cavity 6 is provided on the positioning surface 7. A cylindrical cylinder cavity 8 is provided above the spherical cavity 6. A through hole 9 communicating with the cylinder cavity 8 is provided at the center of the spherical cavity 6. The through hole 9 is coaxial with the cylinder cavity 8. A sliding plate 10 with a lifting stroke along its axis is provided in the cylinder cavity 8. A plurality of chutes 11 are annularly arranged on the periphery of the sliding plate 10. Vertical slide bars 12 located in the chutes 11 and slidably connected to the chutes 11 are provided on the inner wall of the cylinder cavity 8. The slide bars 12 extend vertically. Based on the cooperation between the slide bars 12 and the chutes 11, the up and down sliding stroke of the sliding plate 10 is restricted, so that the sliding plate 10 remains horizontal and circumferentially stationary during lifting.

[0027] On the top surface of the sliding plate 10, there are six groups of pull-down rings. There are also six groups of sliding grooves 11, such that the sliding grooves 11 and the pull-down rings are arranged staggeredly. On the bottom surface of the fixing plate 1, there are pull-up rings corresponding to the vertical projection positions of the pull-down rings. Between the pull-up rings and the pull-down rings, there are tension springs 13. There are also six tension springs 13. The top ends of the tension springs 13 are vertically connected to the corresponding pull-up rings, and the bottom ends are connected to the corresponding pull-down rings. When the sliding plate 10 is pulled downward and descends, it has an elastic force for upward reset.

[0028] Below the mounting cylinder 2, there is a mating plate 3. The mating plate 3 can be circular, square or other shapes. In the center of the top surface of the mating plate 3, there is a hemispherical ball member 14. The ball member 14 is located within the spherical concave cavity 6 and corresponds to the spherical concave cavity 6, with a matching shape. When the ball member 14 is concentrically located within the spherical concave cavity 6, the top surface of the mating plate 3 is parallel or coplanar with the positioning surface 7.

[0029] A steel wire rope 15 passes through the through-hole 9. The top end of the steel wire rope 15 is fixed at the center of the bottom surface of the sliding plate 10, and the bottom end of the steel wire rope 15 is fixed at the center position of the top end of the ball member 14.

[0030] The top end of the rod member 4 is fixed on the mating plate 3. The specific structure adopts a detachable method: In the center of the bottom surface of the mating plate 3, there is a fixing seat 16. The fixing seat 16 is provided with bolt members passing through its periphery. The fixing seat 16 is detachably installed on the bottom surface of the mating plate 3 through the bolt members. In the center of the fixing seat 16, there is a fixing tube 17. The fixing tube 17 is provided with internal threads. The top end of the rod member 4 is provided with a screw head threadedly connected to the fixing tube 17. Both the screw head and the fixing tube 17 are provided with pin rods 18. One end of the pin rod 18 is provided with a flat head, and the other end of the pin rod 18 is provided with a locking nut threadedly connected thereto, thereby strengthening the fixation between the rod member 4 and the fixing tube 17. Threaded connection can ensure no shaking and tight connection. When the rod member 4 is repeatedly impacted, the connection strength can be improved through the pin rod 18, the thread attenuation can be reduced, and the loosening problem caused by thread attenuation can be resisted.

[0031] At the bottom end of the rod member 4, there is a magnetic head 19. The magnetic head 19 and the magnetic member 5 have mutually attracting magnetism. The magnetic member 5 is fixed on the bottom surface. The magnetic member 5 includes an S - grade magnet in the center and a flat plate on the periphery. The flat plate is provided with a through-hole 9 and is fixed on the bottom surface through expansion bolts or ordinary bolt members, such that the magnetic member 5 is located at the central position of the orthographic projection below the magnetic head 19 when the rod member 4 is in a vertical state. The magnetic head 19 uses an N - grade magnet. Through adsorption, rapid centering and positioning can be achieved, shaking can be prevented, and at the same time, the height of the reset position can be ensured to be consistent.

[0032] Based on the above mechanism, the rod 4 is used as an obstacle rod in the competition. When the forklift hits the rod 4, the rod 4, the ball part 14 and the mating plate 3 form a whole. The rod 4 is tilted by the impact, driving the mating plate 3 and the ball part 14 to swing. Based on the bottom side of the mounting cylinder 2 abutting against the top surface of the mating plate 3, the mating plate 3 can only tilt downward to adapt to the swing of the rod 4, thereby pulling the entire ball part 14 downward and partially disengaging from the spherical cavity 6, thus pulling the steel wire rope 15 downward, causing the sliding plate 10 to slide downward, and the 6 tension springs 13 of the same length are further stretched. After the impact ends, under the action of the 6 tension springs 13, the sliding plate 10 is quickly dragged back upward, making the ball part 14 return to the spherical cavity 6. Based on the coincidence of the ball part 14 and the spherical cavity 6, the position and state of the rod 4 are quickly stabilized. Through the spherical coincidence and the pulling of the tension springs 13, the swing of the rod 4 can be quickly constrained and stopped.

[0033] In addition, if the adsorption effect of the magnetic part 5 on the bottom end of the rod 4 is enabled, the rod 4 can be quickly positioned and centered, further ensuring the height consistency of the reset of the rod 4, and the accuracy will not be reduced due to mechanical actions or use wear, and accurate reset can also be ensured after long-term use.

[0034] Through the above mechanism, after application and testing on the site, the rod 4 can achieve quick and accurate return, the return time is less than 3 seconds, and the return accuracy is ±3 mm. After using this suspension rod, its automatic reset time and accuracy exceed the requirements of the competition ban regulations. After the rod 4 is replaced with an aluminum rod instead of a plastic pipe, the damage rate is also greatly reduced. The original 2 referees can be reduced according to requirements, and during the competition, only the vehicle actions and specifications need to be focused on, and there is no need to maintain the on-site facilities anymore.
