[0002] A semitrailer is a trailer with an axle positioned behind the vehicle's center of gravity and equipped with a coupling device that transmits horizontal and vertical forces to the tractor. Semitrailers are typically three-axle and come in a variety of types, including 11-meter saddlebag semitrailers, 13-meter saddlebag semitrailers, and low-bed semitrailers. A heavy-duty transport vehicle connected to the semitrailer's front end by a towing pin, the semitrailer is an important piece of transportation equipment. Among existing semitrailers, the transportation of large, extra-wide, and inseparable cargo, such as generator sets, construction machinery, and military equipment, is increasingly common. Low-bed semitrailers are typically used to transport these extra-wide cargoes, but a standard low-bed semitrailer, with a width of 3 meters, is difficult to meet these transport requirements. Furthermore, if an extra-wide low-bed semitrailer cannot return to its standard width when unloaded or carrying cargo within the specified width, it will face numerous road restrictions, significantly impacting the semitrailer's transport efficiency.
[0003] The current widening method is to install widening sideboard devices on both sides. The widening sideboard devices are flipped and supported by rotating supports, thereby achieving the purpose of widening the cargo platform. However, the supporting force of the rotating supports is not strong. After long-term use, it is easy to deform and damage, resulting in safety hazards in equipment transportation.

In order to meet the transportation needs of extra-wide goods, the sideboard 2 can be placed horizontally to increase the area of the flatbed truck's cargo platform; when there is no need to widen the cargo platform, the sideboard 2 is placed vertically and can be used as a sideboard of the flatbed truck, which improves the practicality of the flatbed truck and does not affect the transportation efficiency of the semi-trailer.
[0036] The fender 2 is hinged to the side beam 1 via a rotating shaft 11. In order to prevent the side beam 1 from affecting the hinged rotation of the fender 2 and to achieve close contact between the fender 2 and the side beam 1, the fender 2 is hinged to the side beam 1 via a hinge portion. Preferably, the hinge portion includes a groove provided on the upper end surface of the side beam 1, a connecting seat 12 located below the groove and fixedly connected to the side beam 1, a rotating shaft 11 fixedly connected to the connecting seat 12, and an arched connecting sleeve 21 slidably sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 11.

[0038] The guardrail 2 can switch between vertical and horizontal states through a hinged portion. When the guardrail 2 is placed vertically, the side end surface of the guardrail 2 fits in with the upper end surface of the side beam 1; a pull-out beam 32 for supporting the guardrail 2 and plugging into the support frame 3 is provided below the guardrail 2. After the guardrail 2 is placed horizontally, the upper end surface of the guardrail 2 is flush with the upper end surface of the side beam 1, the side end surface of the guardrail 2 fits in with the side end surface of the side beam 1, and its back side fits in with the support frame 3. The guardrail 2 is supported by the support frame 3, which improves the force stability of the guardrail 2, thereby preventing the guardrail 2 from deforming and causing safety hazards.
[0039] Among them, the pulling beam 32 passes through the side beam 1 and is plugged into the support frame 3. The main longitudinal beam and the side beam 1 are connected through the support frame 3. The support frame 3 is set to pass through the side beam 1 and is arranged at intervals along the side beam 1. The support frame 3 is a hollow box structure. The pulling beam 32 is plugged into the inside of the support frame 3 and is connected to the support frame 3 in a pull-out manner.
[0040] The pulling beam 32 and the support frame 3 slide relative to each other through the limiting guide of the locking rod assembly; preferably, the locking rod assembly includes a locking rod 33 and a sliding groove 311 opened on the lower end surface of the support frame 3, and the locking rod 33 passes through the sliding groove 311 and extends to the outside of the support frame 3 and is fastened by a lock nut.
[0041] The support frame 3 and the pulling beam 32 are penetrated by a locking rod 33, and a sliding groove 311 is provided on the lower end surface of the support frame 3. One end of the locking rod 33 is connected to the inner wall of the pulling beam 32, and the other end passes through the pulling beam 32 and the sliding groove 311 and extends to the outside of the support frame 3. It is fastened by a lock nut, and the locking rod 33 is loosely matched with the sliding groove 311 and can slide along the sliding groove 311.

The railing 2 is manually lifted and unfolded outward, and the railing 2 is rotated around the rotating shaft 11 through the arched connecting sleeve 21, so that it is placed on the support frame 3, so that the upper end face of the railing 2 is flush with the upper end face of the side beam 1, and fits tightly with the side beam 1, and the lower end face of the railing 2 is fit with the support frame 3, and the railing 2 is supported by the support frame 3, which improves the force stability of the railing 2, thereby preventing the railing 2 from deforming and causing safety hazards.
[0052] During the specific operation of Example 2, the guardrail 2 is manually lifted and unfolded outward, and the guardrail 2 rotates with the rotating shaft 11 as the center through the arched connecting sleeve 21. When the guardrail 2 is placed horizontally to a certain extent, the valve regulating plate 22 contacts the solenoid valve 51 and presses the solenoid valve 51, thereby driving the cylinder 5 to work. The cylinder 5 extends and retracts, pushing the pulling beam 32 to extend and retract to support the guardrail 2. It can be achieved that during the horizontal placement of the guardrail 2, the cylinder 5 can drive the pulling beam 32 to extend synchronously to support the guardrail 2.
