Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aerial work equipment and relates to a tow chain external telescopic arm frame and aerial work equipment. Background Art

[0002] Aerial work equipment, such as fire trucks or aerial work vehicles, has been widely used in social production and life. Among them, aerial work vehicles are special vehicles used to transport personnel and equipment for aerial work. Aerial work vehicles generally include a chassis, a boom and a work platform. The lower end of the boom is connected to the chassis, and the upper end of the boom is connected to the work platform. After the boom is unfolded and raised, the work platform is moved to the high-altitude work area. Aerial work vehicles need to lay pipelines from the chassis to the work platform, such as laying hydraulic pipelines to realize hydraulic transmission, and laying signal cables to realize signal transmission. The pipelines of current aerial work vehicles are generally arranged inside the boom to protect the pipelines and prevent them from being damaged by bumps. However, arranging the pipelines inside the boom makes the assembly operation more difficult, which affects the production and assembly efficiency of the boom of the aerial work vehicle; moreover, when the internal pipelines need to be inspected, the entire boom needs to be disassembled, and the maintenance operation is cumbersome. For this reason, some aerial work vehicles arrange the pipelines outside the boom and arrange reels on the boom, and wind the pipelines around the reels. When there are many boom stages and the boom is long, the corresponding pipelines are also long, which requires the outer dimensions of the reel to be large, resulting in the boom occupying a large space, which is not conducive to the compact design of the boom, and the safety is also low. The exposed pipelines also have the risk of being damaged by bumps. Utility Model Content

[0060] Example:

[0061] like Figures 1 to 22 As shown, the telescopic arm with an external drag chain in this embodiment includes an arm, a drag chain box, a first-stage drag chain 31, a second-stage drag chain 32, a pipeline introduction nozzle 41, a pipeline outlet nozzle 42 and a pipeline 5, etc.

[0062] The boom is set to at least three levels. This embodiment takes a three-level boom as an example, specifically a first-level boom 11, a second-level boom 12 and a third-level boom 13. The booms at each level are nested in sequence, and adjacent booms can extend and retract relative to each other under the drive of the boom telescopic drive mechanism.

[0063] The drag chain box is set to at least three levels. This embodiment takes the drag chain box as an example, specifically the first-level drag chain box 21, the second-level drag chain box 22 and the third-level drag chain box 23. The drag chain boxes at each level are nested in sequence, and adjacent drag chain boxes can expand and contract relative to each other.

[0064] The first-stage drag chain box 21 is assembled and connected to the first-stage boom 11, the second-stage drag chain box 22 is assembled and connected to the second-stage boom 12, and the third-stage drag chain box 23 is assembled and connected to the third-stage boom 13. Specifically, the upper end of the first-stage drag chain box 21 is assembled and connected to the upper end of the first-stage boom 11 via the assembly seat 24, and the lower end of the first-stage drag chain box 21 is assembled and connected to the lower end of the first-stage boom 11 via the assembly seat 24; the upper end of the second-stage drag chain box 22 is assembled and connected to the upper end of the second-stage boom 12 via the assembly seat 24; and the upper end of the third-stage drag chain box 23 is assembled and connected to the upper end of the third-stage boom 13 via the assembly seat 24.

[0065] Adjacent booms are driven by the boom telescopic drive mechanism to extend and contract relative to each other, thereby driving adjacent drag chain boxes to extend and contract relative to each other.

[0066] The first-stage drag chain 31 is arranged at the bottom of the first-stage drag chain box 21 and along the extension direction of the first-stage drag chain box 21 . The lower end of the first-stage drag chain 31 is connected to the lower end of the second-stage drag chain box 22 .

[0067] The second-stage drag chain 32 is arranged at the bottom of the second-stage drag chain box 22 and along the extension direction of the second-stage drag chain box 22 . The lower end of the second-stage drag chain 32 is connected to the lower end of the third-stage drag chain box 23 .

[0068] The pipeline introduction nozzle 41 is arranged at the lower end surface of the first-level drag chain box 21, and the pipeline introduction nozzle 41 is connected to the interior of the first-level drag chain box 21; the pipeline lead-out nozzle 42 is arranged at the upper end surface of the last-level drag chain box (the third-level drag chain box 23 in this embodiment), and the pipeline lead-out nozzle 42 is connected to the interior of the third-level drag chain box 23.

[0069] One end of the pipeline 5 first passes through the pipeline introduction nozzle 41 , then passes through the interior of at least three-stage drag chain boxes and the first-stage drag chain 31 and the second-stage drag chain 32 , and finally is led out from the pipeline lead-out nozzle 42 .

[0070] Specifically, the pipelines 5 located inside the first-stage drag chain box 21 are first arranged from bottom to top along the bottom of the first-stage drag chain box 21, and then turn back and are arranged along the extension direction of the first-stage drag chain 31. The pipelines 5 located inside the second-stage drag chain box 22 are first arranged from bottom to top along the bottom of the second-stage drag chain box 22, and then turn back and are arranged along the extension direction of the second-stage drag chain 32.

[0071] During the relative expansion and contraction of adjacent drag chain boxes, the first-stage drag chain 31 moves with the second-stage drag chain box 22, gradually detaching from the bottom of the first-stage drag chain box 21 from the bottom to the top, or gradually flattening on the bottom of the first-stage drag chain box 21 from the top to the bottom. The second-stage drag chain 32 moves with the third-stage drag chain box 23, gradually detaching from the bottom of the second-stage drag chain box 22 from the bottom to the top, or gradually flattening on the bottom of the second-stage drag chain box 22 from the top to the bottom. In this process, the pipeline 5 can be well protected.

[0072] The interior of the first-stage drag chain box 21 is arranged, from bottom to top, into a first wide chamber 211 and a first narrow chamber 212. The inner diameter of the first wide chamber 211 is larger than that of the first narrow chamber 212, and the bottom of the first narrow chamber 212 is located at a higher height than the bottom of the first wide chamber 211. The first-stage drag chain 31 is located within the first wide chamber 211. The lower end of the second-stage drag chain box 22 engages with the first narrow chamber 212. This arrangement allows the first-stage drag chain 31 to be arranged in a relatively independent space, effectively protecting the first-stage drag chain 31, its interior, and the nearby pipelines 5. Furthermore, by engaging the first narrow chamber 212 at the lower end of the second-stage drag chain box 22, the first narrow chamber 212 can guide and limit the second-stage drag chain box 22, ensuring coaxiality between the second-stage drag chain box 22 and the first-stage drag chain box 21 during its extension and contraction.

[0073] The interior of the second-stage drag chain box 22 is arranged, from bottom to top, into a second wide chamber 221 and a second narrow chamber 222. The inner diameter of the second wide chamber 221 is larger than that of the second narrow chamber 222, and the bottom of the second narrow chamber 221 is located at a higher height than the bottom of the second wide chamber 222. The second-stage drag chain 32 is located within the second wide chamber 221. The lower end of the third-stage drag chain box 23 engages with the second narrow chamber 222. This arrangement allows the second-stage drag chain 32 to be arranged in a relatively independent space, effectively protecting the second-stage drag chain 32, its interior, and the surrounding pipelines 5. Furthermore, by engaging the lower end of the third-stage drag chain box 23 with the second narrow chamber 222, the second narrow chamber 222 can guide and limit the third-stage drag chain box 23, ensuring coaxiality between the third-stage drag chain box 23 and the second-stage drag chain box 22 during their extension and contraction.

[0074] Wear-resistant sliders 25 are installed between the first-stage and second-stage drag chain boxes 21 and 22, and between the second-stage and third-stage drag chain boxes 22 and 23. Specifically, the wear-resistant sliders 25 are arranged on the inner wall of the first narrow chamber 212 of the first-stage and second narrow chamber 222 of the second-stage and third-stage drag chain boxes 23. The wear-resistant sliders 25 are made of nylon. During the relative expansion and contraction of adjacent drag chain boxes, the wear-resistant sliders 25 reduce wear on the boxes.

[0075] A high-altitude work equipment is disclosed. The high-altitude work equipment may be a fire truck or an aerial work vehicle. The boom of the high-altitude work equipment is configured as the drag chain external telescopic boom described above in this embodiment.

[0076] So far, this embodiment has been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art should have a clear understanding of the telescopic boom with external drag chains of the present invention. The telescopic boom with external drag chains described in the present invention is applied to aerial work equipment, and the pipeline 5 is arranged outside the boom, specifically inside the drag chain box, which can protect the pipeline 5 and prevent the pipeline 5 from being damaged by collision. At the same time, it is convenient for the production and assembly of the boom, and also for the inspection and maintenance of the pipeline 5. In addition, when the number of boom stages is large, the boom is long, and the pipeline 5 is also long, the number of drag chain boxes can be increased along with the number of boom stages, which has little effect on the external dimensions of the boom and is conducive to the compact design of the boom.

[0077] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention and should be protected by the present invention.
