The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0028] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides a loader angle limiter, which includes a front frame 1 and a rear frame 2. The front frame 1 is connected with a loading bucket 11. The rear frame 2 is provided with an operation cab 21 and a power area 23. The bottom of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 is provided with front wheels and rear wheels. The front wheels and the rear wheels are steered through the operation cab 21. On the opposite sides of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2, a first hinge plate 12 and a second hinge plate 26 are symmetrically arranged up and down. The first hinge plate 12 and the second hinge plate 26 are connected by a hinge shaft 3. A limiting mechanism 4 is further arranged between the first hinge plate 12 and the second hinge plate 26. The limiting mechanism 4 includes a mounting seat 41, a limiting arm 42, an adjusting mechanism, and a limiting block 45. The mounting seat 41 is fixedly installed on the second hinge plate 26. The limiting arms 42 are symmetrically installed on the mounting seat 41. The limiting arms 42 are located on both sides of the second hinge plate 26. The limiting block 45 is installed at the end of the limiting arm 42 through the adjusting mechanism. A stop block 13 is arranged on the first hinge plate 12 at the position corresponding to the symmetric limiting arms 42. When the included angle between the first hinge plate 12 and the second hinge plate 26 becomes smaller, the stop block 13 and the limiting block 45 are used for limiting. In order to prevent the loader structure from being damaged or becoming unstable due to excessive rotation, a limiting mechanism 4 is arranged at the hinge of the first hinge plate 12 and the second hinge plate 26 of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2. The limiting arms 42 of the limiting mechanism 4 are symmetrically installed on the second hinge plate 26, and a stop block 13 is arranged on the first hinge plate 12 to cooperate with the limiting block 45 on the limiting arm 42. When the first hinge plate 12 rotates to the position limited by the second hinge left and right, the stop block 13 and the limiting block 45 on the limiting arm 42 are used for limiting and blocking, thereby improving the overall stability and safety of the loader.

[0031] The second hinge plate 26 includes a first mounting plate 261 and a second mounting plate 262. The same ends of the first mounting plate 261 and the second mounting plate 262 are fixedly connected to the rear frame 2 and are parallel to each other. The mounting seat 41 is fixedly installed between the first mounting plate 261 and the second mounting plate 262. The limiting arms 42 are symmetrically installed on the mounting seat 41. A cavity is provided inside the limiting arms 42, and the adjusting mechanism is movably installed in the cavity. By providing a cavity in the limiting arms 42, it is convenient for the adjusting mechanism to adjust the length inside the limiting arms 42, thereby restricting the limiting angle.

[0032] The operation cab 21 includes a steering wheel 25 and an operating lever 24. The steering wheel 25 is used to control the front wheels to steer, and the operating lever 24 is used to control the loading bucket 11 to operate. The power area 23 includes an engine, and the engine is installed on the rear frame 2. A driver's seat 22 is provided above the engine.

[0033] In this embodiment, a limiting mechanism 4 is provided. The overall structure of the limiting mechanism 4 is simple, and the mounting plate is reasonably designed, which is convenient for quick installation and fixation on the loader. By the cooperation of the limiting arm 42 in the limiting mechanism 4 on the rear frame 2 and the stopper 13 provided on the front frame 1, the rotation angle of the front frame 1 can be restricted, preventing structural damage or instability caused by excessive rotation, thereby improving the overall stability and safety of the loader.

[0034] Embodiment Two:

[0035] On the basis of Embodiment One, in this embodiment, as Figures 2-4 shown, the adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting screw 43 and an adjusting nut 44. One end of the adjusting screw 43 extends into the cavity from the end of the limiting arm 42. The nut is rotatably installed at the end of the limiting arm 42. The adjusting screw 43 is threadedly connected to the nut. The limiting block 45 is movably installed at the end of the adjusting screw 43. The adjusting screw 43 and the adjusting nut 44 are movably installed on the limiting arm 42. By rotating the adjusting nut 44, the adjusting screw 43 is controlled to move on the limiting arm 42, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the limiting block 45 according to the actual angle limiting requirement, thereby realizing precise limiting of the angle of the working device of the loader.

[0036] Cylinders 5 are symmetrically installed on the second hinge plate 26 at the lower end of the rear frame 2. The telescopic ends of the cylinders 5 are connected to the relatively arranged first hinge plate 12. The front frame 1 can be controlled to steer by the cylinders 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, an adjusting mechanism is provided on the limiting arm 42. The design of the adjusting mechanism on the limiting arm 42 facilitates flexible adjustment by the operator according to the operation requirements, effectively preventing the bucket from damaging the working device hydraulic cylinder of the loader due to excessive or too small an angle, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0038] Embodiment Three:

[0039] Based on Embodiment One, in this embodiment, as Figures 3-4 shown, an activity cavity is provided at the end of the adjusting screw 43. A buffer rod 46 is fixedly installed at one end of the limiting block 45 facing the adjusting screw 43. The buffer rod 46 extends into the activity cavity. A buffer spring 47 is sleeved on the outer wall of the buffer rod 46. A fixed block 410 is fixedly installed at the end of the adjusting screw 43. Both ends of the buffer spring 47 are connected and fixed to the outer walls of the opposite sides of the limiting block 45 and the fixed block 410. When the stop block 13 on the first articulated frame impacts and touches the limiting block 45 at the end of the adjusting screw 43, the limiting block 45 will compress the buffer spring 47. At this time, the buffer rod 46 connected to the limiting block 45 extends in the activity cavity of the adjusting screw 43. Under the action of the buffer spring 47, it can avoid the impact force of the stop block 13 being too large or the parts being damaged due to multiple impacts on the limiting block 45. To a certain extent, it can play a buffering role, thereby protecting the parts. Moreover, both the stop block 13 and the limiting block 45 are made of flexible materials to reduce impact and damage.

[0040] On the inner wall of the activity cavity of the adjusting screw 43, guiding grooves 48 are symmetrically provided. On the outer wall of the buffer rod 46, guiding blocks 49 matching the guiding grooves 48 are provided. The guiding blocks 49 are slidably installed in the guiding grooves 48. After the stop block 13 on the first articulated plate 12 collides with the limiting block 45 on the second articulated plate 26, when the limiting block 45 pushes the buffer rod 46 to move in the activity cavity of the adjusting screw 43, the guiding blocks 49 on the outer wall of the buffer rod 46 slide along the guiding grooves 48 on the inner wall of the activity cavity, which can improve the stability of the buffer rod 46 when moving in the activity cavity.

[0041] In this embodiment, an auxiliary buffering mechanism is provided in the adjusting mechanism. By movably arranging the buffer rod 46 and the buffer spring 47 between the limiting block 45 and the adjusting screw 43, it can absorb impact and vibration when the stop block 13 on the first articulated plate 12 collides with the limiting block 45, reduce the wear and looseness at the articulated part, and extend the service life of the articulated structure. By limiting the rotation angle and reducing vibration, the loader can operate more smoothly during operation, reducing operation interruptions caused by vibration or instability, thereby improving operation efficiency.

[0042] The above exemplary description of the present utility model is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present utility model is not limited by the above methods. As long as such non-substantial improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the present utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
