[0002] Off-road (mining) dump trucks are heavy-duty dump trucks used in open-pit mines to complete rock and earth stripping and ore transportation tasks. They are characterized by short travel distances and heavy loads. They are usually loaded with large electric shovels or hydraulic shovels and travel back and forth between the mining site and the unloading site. As people's requirements for environmental protection become higher and higher, off-road dump trucks are also driven by electricity.
[0003] Existing battery-swappable off-road dump trucks need to lift the cargo box when performing battery swap operations in mining areas, which takes up a large space. Therefore, the brim of the cargo box needs to be flipped over and the power supply under the brim needs to be replaced. This solves the problem in the prior art that battery swapping requires lifting the cargo box, which takes up a large space. However, after long-term use, the sealing performance of the oil cylinder cannot be guaranteed when using the oil cylinder, resulting in the inability to ensure safety during the battery swap operation.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , as Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a reversible cargo box brim for a non-road dump truck, which includes a cargo box body 5 installed on a vehicle frame 1 and a brim 2 hinged to the cargo box body 5. A turning mechanism 3 is hinged between the brim 2 and the cargo box body 5;
[0024] Among them, the turning mechanism 3 includes a diagonal beam 302 hinged to the brim 2, a ball nut 304 hinged to the diagonal beam 302, a ball screw 303 adapted to the ball nut 304, and a driver 305 installed on the ball screw 303;
[0025] A hollow slot for the ball screw 303 to extend when rotating is provided on the back of the diagonal beam 302. The driver 305 is hinged to the cargo box body 5, and the ball screw 303 is driven by the driver 305 to be threadedly connected with the ball nut 304, driving the brim 2 hinged to the diagonal beam 302 to turn around the hinge point of the cargo box body 5.
[0026] Embodiment 1
[0027] A reversible cargo box brim for a non-road dump truck, which includes a cargo box body 5 installed on a vehicle frame 1 and a brim 2 hinged to the cargo box body 5. A turning mechanism 3 is hinged between the brim 2 and the cargo box body 5;
[0028] Among them, as Figure 2 shown, the turning mechanism 3 includes a diagonal beam 302 in a U-shaped square tube shape, a ball nut 304 hinged to the diagonal beam 302, a ball screw 303 adapted to the ball nut 304, and a driver 305 installed on the ball screw 303;
[0029] An upper support 301 is hinged to the diagonal beam 302 and the upper support 301 is fixed to the brim 2. When rising, the diagonal beam 302 turns around the hinge point of the ball nut 304 and the back abuts against the back plate of the upper support 301 to limit the rotation between the upper support 301 and the diagonal beam 302.
[0030] The ball nut 304 is hinged to the diagonal beam 302 near the hollow slot on the back.
[0031] A lower support 306 is hinged to the driver 305 and the lower support 306 is fixed to the cargo box body 5.
[0032] A hollow slot is provided on the back of the inclined beam 302 for the ball screw 303 to extend when rotating. The ball screw 303 is driven by the driver 305 to be threadedly connected with the ball nut 304, driving the brim 2 hinged to the inclined beam 302 to flip around the hinge of the cargo box body 5.
[0033] A secondary support beam 4 is fixed below the brim 2 of the cargo box body 5 for supporting and limiting the brim 2 after it falls.
[0034] As a further improvement: Two sets of secondary support beams 4 are arranged symmetrically left and right.
[0035] In this embodiment, the driver 305 uses a self-locking motor or a hydraulic motor.
[0036] It should be noted that for the selection of the self-locking motor or the hydraulic motor for the driver 305, those skilled in the art can make a suitable selection according to actual needs. Among them, when a hydraulic motor is selected, a self-locking mechanism needs to be installed in the hydraulic system or the supply and return oil circuits to prevent the hydraulic motor from failing to lock when the oil supply stops, resulting in rotation and causing the brim 2 to fall.
[0037] When flipping the brim 2, the operator issues an instruction through the operation panel. After receiving the instruction, the controller starts the driver 305 to drive the ball screw 303 to rotate. Since the ball screw 303 is threadedly connected with the ball nut 304, when the ball screw 303 rotates, the inclined beam 302 installed on the ball nut 304 jacks up the brim 2, and the brim 2 flips around the hinge with the cargo box body 5.
[0038] When the inclined beam 302 rises, it abuts against the inclined beam 302 through the upper support 301 to limit the maximum angle during the downward swing, ensuring that the lower end of the inclined beam 302 can reach the lower support 306 when it falls. During the rising process, the ball nut 304 is hinged to the inclined beam 302. Therefore, there is a degree of freedom between the ball screw 303 and the inclined beam 302. When the upper support 301 abuts against the inclined beam 302, the ball screw 303 exerts a supporting force on the inclined beam 302. Since the upper end of the inclined beam 302 is limited, the inclined beam 302 flips around the hinge with the ball nut 304, and the included angle between the inclined beam 302 and the ball screw 303 becomes smaller. The ball screw 303 is affected and passes through the hollow slot opened on the back of the inclined beam 302.
[0039] Embodiment 2
[0040] A flip-up cargo box brim for a non-road dump truck includes a cargo box body 5 installed on the vehicle frame 1 and a brim 2 hinged to the cargo box body 5. There are two sets of flip mechanisms 3 arranged symmetrically left and right for the hinge between the brim 2 and the cargo box body 5;
[0041] Among them, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the flipping mechanism 3 includes an inclined beam 302 in the shape of a U-shaped square tube, a ball nut 304 hinged on the inclined beam 302, a ball screw 303 adapted to the ball nut 304, and a driver 305 mounted on the ball screw 303;
[0042] An upper support 301 is hinged on the inclined beam 302 and the upper support 301 is fixed on the brim 2. When rising, the inclined beam 302 rotates around the hinge of the ball nut 304 and its back abuts against the back plate of the upper support 301 to limit the rotation between the upper support 301 and the inclined beam 302.
[0043] The ball nut 304 is hinged on the inclined beam 302 near the hollowed-out slot at the back.
[0044] A lower support 306 is hinged on the driver 305 and the lower support 306 is fixed on the cargo box body 5.
[0045] A hollowed-out slot for the ball screw 303 to extend when rotating is provided on the back of the inclined beam 302. The driver 305 drives the ball screw 303 to be threadedly connected with the ball nut 304 to drive the brim 2 hinged on the inclined beam 302 to rotate around the hinge of the cargo box body 5.
[0046] A secondary support beam 4 is fixed below the brim 2 on the cargo box body 5 for supporting and limiting after the brim 2 falls.
[0047] As a further improvement: Two groups of secondary support beams 4 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right.
[0048] In this embodiment, the driver 305 adopts a self-locking motor or a hydraulic motor.
[0049] It should be noted that for the selection of the self-locking motor or the hydraulic motor for the driver 305, those skilled in the art can make a suitable choice according to actual needs. Among them, when a hydraulic motor is selected, a self-locking mechanism needs to be installed in the hydraulic system or the supply and return oil circuits to prevent the hydraulic motor from failing to lock and rotating when the oil supply stops, resulting in the falling of the brim 2.
[0050] As Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when flipping the brim 2, the operator issues an instruction through the operation panel. After receiving the instruction, the controller simultaneously starts two groups of drivers 305 to drive the ball screw 303 to rotate. Since the ball screw 303 is threadedly connected with the ball nut 304, when the ball screw 303 rotates, the inclined beam 302 mounted on the ball nut 304 jacks up the brim 2, and the brim 2 rotates around the hinge with the cargo box body 5.
[0051] When the inclined beam 302 rises, the upper support 301 abuts against the inclined beam 302 to limit the maximum angle during the downward swing, ensuring that the lower end of the inclined beam 302 can reach the lower support 306 when it falls. During the rising process, the ball nut 304 is hinged to the inclined beam 302. Therefore, there is a degree of freedom between the ball screw 303 and the inclined beam 302. When the upper support 301 abuts against the inclined beam 302, the ball screw 303 exerts a supporting force on the inclined beam 302. Since the upper end of the inclined beam 302 is limited, the inclined beam 302 rotates around the hinge point with the ball nut 304, and the included angle between the inclined beam 302 and the ball screw 303 becomes smaller. The ball screw 303 is affected and passes through the hollow slot opened on the back of the inclined beam 302.
[0052] Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
