Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile parts. Background Art

[0002] Vehicles with flippable cabs are equipped with a cab flip lock. During normal use, the lock locks the cab and frame together. When the cab needs to be flipped, the lock releases the cab and frame, allowing for smooth flipping, making it easier for maintenance personnel to maintain and inspect components such as the engine under the cab. These locks can be broadly classified into hydraulic locks and manual locks, but they all essentially lock or unlock by adjusting the lock hook. Therefore, controlling the lock hook plays a crucial role in safety. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The present invention includes a lock hook 4, a lock hole 5, an inductive plug device 17, and a plug connector 2 at the outer end of the inductive plug device 17. The lock hook 4 and the lock hole 5 are on the outside for locking the matching lock body structure of the cab and the vehicle body. Most of the existing equipment has this structural form from the outside. The inductive plug device 17 is an electronic induction device. The present invention adopts two, one for sensing the limit state when the lock hook 4 is opened, representing that the lock hook 4 is completely out of the lock hole 5, and the other for sensing the limit state when the shift fork 12 is out of the lock hook toggle seat 14. The plug connector 2 is the external plug connector of the inductive plug device 17.

[0010] The two hydraulic lock housings 3 are fixed by pins, the lock hook 4 and the lock hook toggle seat 14 at the lower end are integrated, the lock hook 4 and the lock hook toggle seat 14 are connected to the lock body shaft 16 at the connection point, and the lock body shaft 16 is installed at both ends on the two hydraulic lock housings 3. A lock body reset spring 15 is set on the lock body shaft 16, and one end of the lock body reset spring 15 is stuck in the lower pin sleeve 13, and the other end is stuck on the upper surface of the lock hook toggle seat 14; both ends of the fork pin shaft 8 are installed on the two hydraulic lock housings 3, and a fork 12 is connected to the fork pin shaft 8. One end of the fork 12 corresponds to the upper surface of the lock hook toggle seat 14, and the end of the other end corresponds to the upper surface of the lock hook toggle seat 14. A manual detent 1 is installed, and a detent return spring 7 is mounted on the detent pin shaft 8. One end of the detent return spring 7 is clamped on the upper pin sleeve 18, and the other end is hooked on one end of the lock hook toggle seat 14 corresponding to the detent 12; a cylinder mounting seat 11 is installed on the hydraulic lock housing 3, and the cylinder body 10 is installed on the cylinder mounting seat 11. The top of the cylinder piston rod 9 is pressed under the tail end of the detent 12, and the lower end of the cylinder is the oil inlet and outlet 6; there are induction plug devices 17 corresponding to the extreme position of the opening of the lock hook 4 and the extreme position when the tail end of the detent 12 is opened, and the induction plug device 17 is installed on the hydraulic lock housing 3.

[0011] The hydraulic lock housing 3 is made of two pieces. After being fixed by pins, the lock hole 5 is placed in the middle of the upper end of the hydraulic lock housing 3. After the two pieces of the hydraulic lock housing 3 are buckled together, there is space around them (see Figure 1 , the manual pin 1 shows two positions), the lock hook 4 and the lock hook toggle seat 14 can be processed and formed at one time, the lock hook 4 and the lock hook toggle seat 14 are a special-shaped part, see Figure 3 There are four marked parts: first, part A that contacts the left-side inductive plug-in device 17; second, part B that matches the locking function with the lock hole 5; third, a raised part M for the locking function that is used to press the lock hook 4 back by external force; and fourth, part N where the shift fork 12 is pressed against for locking positioning.

[0012] First, the portion A in contact with the left inductive plug device 17: When the lock hook 4 needs to be opened, the lock hook 4 will rotate leftward with the lock body axis 16 as the axis until the portion A of the lock hook 4 contacts the left inductive plug device 17, and is in a fully open state.

[0013] Second, part B that matches the locking function with the lock hole 5: This part is that the interior of the lock hook 4 is arc-shaped, which matches the lock hole 5 and completes the locking after being buckled. This structure already exists.

[0014] Third, the locking hook 4 is used to press the hook lock back by external force. The protruding part M of the hook lock function: in the first part form, this part is located at the bottom of the lock hole 5 and extends out. In this way, when the lock hook 4 and the lock hole 5 need to be locked together, the main bar (usually installed on the vehicle body, used to buckle the cab and the vehicle body) will press this part first when it is placed in the lock hole 5, so that the special-shaped part composed of the lock hook 4 and the lock hook toggle seat 14 rotates until the special-shaped part is in the Figure 2 Locking form.

[0015] Fourth, the shift fork 12 presses against the locking position N: when the special-shaped piece in the third step is in the locked state, the shift fork 12 will be stuck here to prevent the special-shaped piece from opening due to the elastic force of the lock body reset spring 15.

[0016] The lock hook 4 corresponds to the lock hole 5 and is used to lock or open the cab and the vehicle body. The lock hook toggle seat 14 is placed between the two hydraulic lock shells 3. The lock hook 4 and the lock hook toggle seat 14 are installed on the hydraulic lock shell 3 through the lock body shaft 16 and can rotate around the lock body shaft 16. The lock body reset spring 15 is a spring that resets the lock hook 4 and the lock hook toggle seat 14 when they are unlocked ( Figure 2 The middle lock body return spring 15 is in a compressed state), that is, when the shift fork 12 is released from the restriction on the lock hook toggle seat 14, the lock hook 4 is tilted back and contacts the left inductive plug device 17, and the raised portion (M position) on the upper surface of the lock hook toggle seat 14 is at the lower end position of the lock hole 5. At this time, the unlocking state is completed and the cab can be separated from the vehicle body.

[0017] When locking is required, the main bar squeezes the raised part M of the special-shaped part, causing the special-shaped part to rotate to the right with the lock body axis 16 until the lock hook 4 hooks the main bar, and then the shift fork 12 is turned and pressed against the N part of the lock hook toggle seat 14, thereby locking the cab and the vehicle body.

[0018] The shift fork 12 is moved in two ways: a manual shift pin 1 and a cylinder shift pin 9. The manual shift pin 12 requires more force than the cylinder shift pin 9. Therefore, when the cylinder is in normal condition, the cylinder shift pin 12 is usually used. Figure 2As can be seen, the shift fork 12 is similar to an L shape. One end is used to push the locking hook toggle seat 14, and the other end is used for toggling. The shift fork 12 rotates around the shift fork pin shaft 8 in the middle. An induction plugging device (right-side induction plugging device) is installed on the hydraulic lock housing 3 corresponding to the tail end of the shift fork 12. When the shift fork 12 is in the open state, this induction plugging device is used to sense and limit the maximum open position of the shift fork 12 (fully open, that is, the front end of the shift fork 12 is completely disengaged from the locking hook toggle seat 14). The shift fork return spring 7 assists the shift fork 12. When the shift fork 12 is opened, the shift fork return spring 7 will be contracted and have elasticity. When the shift fork 12 needs to return to lock the locking hook toggle seat 14, under the return force of the shift fork return spring 7, it is extremely easy to be located at the N part of the locking hook toggle seat 14 ( Figure 2 is the locking state of the locking hook, and at this time the shift fork return spring 7 is in a relaxed state).

[0019] The lower end of the oil cylinder is the oil inlet and outlet 6 that extends out from between the two hydraulic lock housings 3, facilitating the connection of the oil supply device of the oil cylinder.
