Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of model parts and accessories, in particular to a suspension device for a tank model. Background Art
[0002] Tank models are based on real tanks, and with the advancement of technology, tank models are becoming increasingly realistic. The suspension structure of a tank model is the collective term for all the force-transmitting devices between the tank's hull and road wheels. It is a crucial component of the tank's travel system. Installed between the hull and the grounded road wheels, the suspension system performs two main functions: First, it elastically supports the vehicle, mitigating the impact and vibration generated by the travel system (tracks and road wheels) when traveling on the road, improving the working environment for the crew and enhancing work efficiency. Second, it mitigates damage and vibration to various vehicle components, increasing reliability and ensuring the tank can fully utilize the maximum efficiency of the power-transmission system on any road surface, thereby maintaining maximum travel speed and providing good maneuverability.
[0003] The suspension systems used in the models of the M10 series tanks and their variants currently on the market are mostly exterior parts that cannot reproduce the movement of the road wheels. Even if a suspension system with movable functions is designed in some individual designs, it is only more realistic in appearance, but the movable performance is still weak, which greatly reduces the playability of the model and cannot reproduce the movement process of the tank road wheels.
[0004] Therefore, the existing technology needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to remedy the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application proposes a suspension device for a tank model.
[0006] The utility model solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solutions:

One end of the suspension rocker arm is pinned to the road wheel, and the other end is rotatably connected to the suspension shell. The suspension component is arranged on the suspension shell, and the suspension component is connected to the suspension rocker arm so that the end of the suspension rocker arm away from the road wheel rotates relative to the suspension shell.
[0008] Preferably, the suspension component includes a sliding rod, a rotating rod and a height limiting block, the sliding rod is slidably connected to the suspension shell, one end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to one end of the sliding rod, and the other end is connected to the end of the suspension rocker arm away from the road wheel to drive the suspension rocker arm to rotate compared to the suspension shell, and the height limiting block is arranged on the suspension shell, and the height limiting block is provided with a sliding groove, the length direction of the sliding groove extends along the sliding direction of the sliding rod; the sliding rod is provided with a height limiting column inserted in the sliding groove, and the height limiting column is slidably arranged in the height limiting column.
[0009] Preferably, the height limiting blocks and the height limiting columns are provided in two groups, the two height limiting blocks are spaced apart, and the opposite side surfaces of the sliding rod are respectively used for sliding abutment with the height limiting blocks; the two height limiting columns are respectively inserted into the sliding grooves of the two height limiting blocks.
[0010] Preferably, the sliding rod is provided with reinforcing ribs on both sides where the height-limiting column is located, and the reinforcing ribs are used for slidingly abutting against the height-limiting block.
[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the chute is provided with a plurality of protrusions arranged at intervals, and the protrusions are used to block the height-limiting column.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the chute passes through the height-limiting block; a deformation hole is provided on the height-limiting block, and a deformation notch communicating with the chute is provided on the side wall of the deformation hole.
[0013] Preferably, one of the height-limiting blocks is provided with an assembly column, and the other height-limiting block is provided with an assembly for the assembly column to be tightly fitted and inserted.
[0014] Preferably, a tight-fitting column is provided at one end of the rotating rod away from the sliding rod; a tight-fitting cylinder is provided at one end of the suspension rocker arm away from the road wheel, and the inner wall of the tight-fitting cylinder is used for tight-fitting insertion of the tight-fitting column.

[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] 1. When the height of the tank model's road wheels needs to be adjusted, the slide bar is moved to swing the rotating rod connected to the slide bar. Since the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the suspension pressure arm, and the suspension rocker arm is rotatably set on the suspension shell, when the rotating rod swings, it will drive the suspension rocker arm to rotate relative to the suspension shell, and ultimately the position of the road wheels can be changed. This design method changes the height of the road wheels by sliding the slide bar, thereby changing the height of the tank model's suspension structure, simulating the adjustment of the suspension height of a real tank vehicle, allowing players to understand the mobility of real tanks through the tank model, while also improving their thinking and hands-on skills.
[0019] 2. Due to the setting of the chute and the protrusion, when the height position of the road wheel is adjusted, the two side walls of the chute along the length direction and the protrusion will respectively limit the height limit column, so that the height limit column stays at different positions in the chute, so that the road wheel can stay at different height positions, further increasing playability;
[0020] 3. Due to the setting of the limit block and the limit gap, when the slide rod drives the rotating rod to swing and drive the suspension rocker arm to rotate, the side wall of the limit gap can limit the limit block so that the rotating rod and the suspension rocker arm will never rotate relative to each other, so as to avoid the phenomenon of different suspension heights between the road wheels, thereby avoiding affecting the accuracy of suspension adjustment as much as possible.

[0027] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] The embodiment of the present application discloses a suspension device for a tank model. Figures 1 to 4 The suspension device includes a suspension shell 1, a load wheel 2, a suspension rocker arm 3 and a suspension part 4. Specifically, the upper part of the suspension shell 1 is used for placing the tank model body. The load wheels 2 are arranged on two opposite sides of the suspension shell 1. There are multiple groups of load wheels 2. Each group of load wheels 2 is respectively provided with one on both sides of the suspension shell 1. The suspension rocker arm 3 is arranged on the suspension shell 1. One end of the suspension rocker arm 3 is rotatably connected to the suspension shell 1, and the other end is pinned to the load wheel 2 so that the load wheel 2 can rotate relative to the suspension rocker arm 3. When the suspension rocker arm 3 rotates relative to the suspension shell 1, the suspension rocker arm 3 will drive the load wheel 2 to rotate relative to the suspension rocker arm 3. The heavy wheel 2 rotates to change the height position of the suspension of the road wheel 2; the suspension member 4 is arranged on the suspension shell 1, and the suspension member 4 is connected to the end of the suspension rocker arm 3 away from the road wheel 2, so that the suspension rocker arm 3 rotates relative to the suspension shell 1. This design method can use the suspension member 4 to make the suspension rocker arm 3 drive the road wheel 2 to change the height of the road wheel 2, thereby changing the height of the suspension structure of the tank model. By simulating the adjustment of the suspension height of a real tank vehicle, it is possible to understand the mobility of the real tank through the tank model, and at the same time, it can also improve the player's thinking and hands-on ability.
[0029] In this embodiment, in order to enhance the overall aesthetics of the tank model when the tank model body is placed on the suspension frame, a receiving groove 11 is provided on the upper surface of the suspension shell 1 for placing the suspension member 4 to enhance the overall aesthetics.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The sling 41 is connected to the sling 41 by the sling 42, and the sling 42 is connected to the sling 3 by the sling 41. The sling 41 is connected to the sling 41 by the sling 42, and the sling 42 is connected to the sling 3 by the sling 42. The height block 43 is arranged in the accommodating groove 11 of the suspension shell 1. The height limiting block 43 is a rectangular block as a whole. A slide groove 431 is arranged on the height limiting block 43. The groove bottom of the slide groove 431 may not be set through, or it may be set through. In this embodiment, the groove bottom of the slide groove 431 is set through, and the length direction of the slide groove 431 extends along the sliding direction of the slide rod 41. At the same time, a height limiting column 411 is set on the slide rod 41. The height limiting column 411 is cylindrical, and the axis of the height limiting column 411 is set perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slide rod 41. The height limiting column 411 is used to be inserted into the slide groove 431. The different positions of the height limiting column 411 in the slide groove 431 can make the road wheel 2 at different height positions, and the height limiting column 411 can be limited by the two side walls along the length direction of the slide groove 431 to limit the highest position and the lowest position of the road wheel 2.
[0031] In addition, in this embodiment, there are two height limit blocks 43, and the two height limit blocks 43 are arranged at intervals. The sliding rod 41 slides between the two height limit blocks 43, and the opposite sides of the sliding rod 41 respectively abut against the two height limit blocks 43. At the same time, two height limit columns 411 are also provided, and the two height limit columns 411 are symmetrically arranged on the sliding rod 41. The two height limit columns 411 are respectively inserted into the sliding grooves 431 of the two height limit blocks 43, and one of the height limit blocks 43 is close to the other height limit block 43. The side surface is provided with an assembly column 435, and the assembly column 435 is cylindrical, and the corresponding position of the other height limit block 43 is provided with an assembly cylinder 436. The assembly cylinder 436 is used for the assembly column 435 to be tightly fitted and inserted, so that the two height limit blocks 43 can always remain connected to limit the sliding rod 41, and the height limit column 411 can be prevented from being disconnected from the sliding groove 431 as much as possible.
[0032] Reference Figures 2 to 4In order to enable the road wheel 2 to stay at different heights, a protrusion 432 is integrally provided on the side wall of the slide 431. The protrusion 432 is made of elastic material, and multiple protrusions 432 are arranged at intervals. When the height limiting column 411 slides in the slide 431, the protrusion 432 can limit the height limiting column 411 so that the height limiting column 411 stays at different positions of the slide 431, so that the road wheel 2 can stay at different heights, thereby realizing the suspension of the tank model at different heights, further increasing the playability.
[0033] Reference Figures 2 to 4 In order to facilitate the sliding of the slide bar 41, the following settings are made accordingly: first, a deformation hole 433 is further provided on the height limiting block 43, the deformation hole 433 and the slide groove 431 are spaced apart, and the length direction of the deformation hole 433 is consistent with the length direction of the slide groove 431, and a deformation notch 434 is provided between the deformation hole 433 and the slide groove 431 to connect the deformation hole 433 with the slide groove 431. When the height limiting column 411 slides in the slide groove 431, it is lifted by the protrusion 432, and the part of the height limiting block 43 between the deformation hole 433 and the slide groove 431 will move toward the deformation hole 433 The cam 432 is in the form of a circle, and the ...
[0034] Reference Figures 2 to 4 In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the replacement of the suspension member 4, a tight-fitting column 421 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 42 away from the sliding rod 41. The tight-fitting column 421 is cylindrical, and a tight-fitting cylinder 31 is provided at the end of the suspension rocker arm 3 away from the road wheel 2. The inner wall of the tight-fitting cylinder 31 is used for the tight-fitting column 421 to be inserted and fitted, thereby completing the detachable installation of the suspension member 4 and the suspension rocker arm 3. At the same time, in order to avoid the swing of the rotating rod 42 and the relative rotation between the suspension rocker arm 3, a limit block 4 is provided on the side wall of the tight-fitting column 421. 22. A limiting notch 32 is provided at one end of the tight-fitting cylinder 31 near the rotating rod 42. The limiting notch 32 is communicated with the orifice of the tight-fitting cylinder 31. When the tight-fitting column 421 is inserted into the tight-fitting cylinder 31, the limiting block 422 is in the limiting notch 32. When the rotating rod 42 drives the suspension rocker arm 3 to rotate, the side wall of the limiting notch 32 will limit the limiting block 422, so that the rotating rod 42 and the suspension rocker arm 3 always move synchronously, and try to avoid the phenomenon of different suspension heights between the road wheels 2, which affects the accuracy of the suspension adjustment.
[0035] In addition, in this embodiment, in order to reduce the production cost of the tank model and reduce the overall volume of the tank model, only the front and rear sets of road wheels 2 are connected to the suspension parts 4. The front and rear sets of road wheels 2 are sufficient to support the entire tank model. It can be understood that the middle multiple sets of road wheels 2 move following the front and rear sets of road wheels 2 and do not play a supporting role. This method can make the structure simpler.
[0036] The implementation principle of a suspension device for a tank model in an embodiment of the present application is: when it is necessary to adjust the height of the tank model's road wheel 2, the slide rod 41 slides to drive the suspension rocker arm 3 to rotate about a predetermined center of a circle, so that the road wheel 2 is at different height positions, thereby changing the height of the tank model's suspension structure, simulating the adjustment of the suspension height of a real tank vehicle, and realizing the understanding of the real tank's mobility through the tank model. At the same time, it can also improve the player's thinking and hands-on ability and increase playability.
[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
