Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of semi-trailers, and in particular relates to a flatbed trailer. Background Art

[0002] Flatbed trailers can tow all types of vehicles under 2.5 tons, including pickup trucks, SUVs, MPVs, and various motorcycles. Loading these vehicles onto the trailer typically requires the use of a ramp, which extends from the rear of the trailer to the ground, to facilitate pushing the vehicle onto the trailer. Due to the height difference between the trailer bed and the ground, if the ramp's angle is too steep, the weight of heavy equipment like motorcycles could cause excessive stress on the connection point between the ramp and the trailer bed, increasing the risk of damage. Therefore, to mitigate this risk, the ramp's length is increased to reduce its angle. Furthermore, given the weight of equipment like motorcycles and forklifts, the ramp could deform or break under these loads. Utility Model Content

For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a flatbed trailer includes a frame 1, wheels 2, a traction frame 3, pedals 4, and a hydraulic cylinder.

[0031] The vehicle frame 1 includes a frame longitudinal beam 16, a frame cross beam 17, and a frame panel 18. The frame longitudinal beam 16 is provided in two groups and is located on both sides of the frame panel 18. The frame cross beam 17 is transversely arranged at the bottom of the frame panel 18. The wheels 2 are provided on the vehicle frame 1, and there are two wheels 2, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the vehicle frame 1.

[0032] The traction frame 3 is arranged on the front side of the vehicle frame 1 , and the rear end of the traction frame 3 is hinged to the frame longitudinal beam 16 of the vehicle frame 1 .

[0033] The traction frame 3 includes a transversely arranged traction frame 3 crossbeam, the front end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the traction frame 3 crossbeam, and the rear end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the frame crossbeam 17.

[0034] The pedal 4 is arranged at the rear end of the frame 1 , and the front end of the pedal 4 is hinged to the rear end of the frame 1 so that the pedal 4 can be flipped and arranged on the frame 1 .

[0035] The hydraulic oil cylinder can automatically control the extension or retraction of its piston rod through the pump group, and can accurately control the extension or retraction amplitude of the piston rod of the hydraulic oil cylinder.

[0036] In the above technical solution, it is necessary to cooperate with the power source of the pump group to realize the function of the hydraulic cylinder. In order to realize the function of the hydraulic cylinder without using the power source, the flatbed trailer also includes a hydraulic station 7, a first three-way pipe 8, a second three-way pipe 9, a first oil pipeline 10, a second oil pipeline 11, a third oil pipeline 12, a fourth oil pipeline 13, a fifth oil pipeline 14, a sixth oil pipeline 15, a first valve, a second valve

[0037] The hydraulic cylinders are provided in two groups, namely a first hydraulic cylinder 5 and a second hydraulic cylinder 6. The hydraulic station 7 is provided on the traction frame 3.

[0038] The first pipe opening of the first tee pipe 8 is connected to the lower opening of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 through the first oil pipeline 10;

[0039] The second pipe opening of the first three-way pipe 8 is connected to the hydraulic station 7 through the second oil pipeline 11, and the first valve is arranged on the second oil pipeline 11;

[0040] The third pipe opening of the first three-way pipe 8 is connected to the lower opening of the second hydraulic cylinder 6 through the third oil pipeline 12;

[0041] The first pipe opening of the second three-way pipe 9 is connected to the upper opening of the second hydraulic cylinder 6 through the fourth oil pipeline 13;

[0042] The second pipe opening of the second three-way pipe 9 is connected to the hydraulic station 7 through the fifth oil pipeline 14, and the second valve is provided on the fifth oil pipeline 14;

[0043] The third pipe opening of the second three-way pipe 9 is connected to the upper opening of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 through the sixth oil pipeline 15 .

[0044] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, when a motorcycle or pickup truck is transferred to a trailer via the pedal 4, the rear end of the frame 1 is lowered and the front end of the frame 1 is raised with the wheel 2 as the fulcrum. During this process, the frame 1 pulls the piston rods of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 and the second hydraulic cylinder 6 to extend, so that a negative pressure is formed in the working chambers of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 and the second hydraulic cylinder 6. The hydraulic oil in the hydraulic station 7 is transported to the first tee pipe 8 through the second oil pipeline 11, and then transported to the working chambers of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 and the third cylinder through the first oil pipeline 10 and the third oil pipeline 12 respectively. Due to the setting of the first valve, the flow rate of the hydraulic oil can be controlled, so that the piston rod of the cylinder is slowly extended, thereby achieving a buffering effect and preventing the piston rod from extending too quickly due to a large flow of hydraulic oil, resulting in failure of the cylinder buffering function.

[0045] As the body of a motorcycle or pickup truck is transferred to the trailer and continuously moves toward the front end of the frame 1, the front end of the frame 1 applies downward pressure on the piston rods of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 and the second hydraulic cylinder 6. During this process, the frame 1 pushes the piston rods of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 and the second hydraulic cylinder 6 to retract, so that a negative pressure is formed in the return oil chambers of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 and the second hydraulic cylinder 6. The hydraulic oil in the hydraulic station 7 is transported to the second three-way pipe 9 through the fifth oil pipeline 14, and then transported to the return oil chambers of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 and the third cylinder through the fourth oil pipeline 13 and the sixth oil pipeline 15 respectively. Due to the setting of the second valve, the flow rate of the hydraulic oil can be controlled, so that the piston rods of the cylinders retract slowly, thereby achieving a buffering effect and preventing the piston rods from retracting too quickly due to a large flow of hydraulic oil, resulting in failure of the cylinder buffering function.

[0046] At the same time, the design of the device can realize the raising and lowering functions of the frame 1 in conjunction with the deadweight of a vehicle such as a motorcycle without a power source.

[0047] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a locking mechanism is also included, which includes a lock buckle 24 and a hook 25. The hook 25 is arranged at the front end of the frame 1, and the lock buckle 24 is arranged on the traction frame 3 and the lock buckle 24 is located below the hook 25.

[0048] When the trailer is traveling, the lock catch 24 is hooked on the hook 25 to prevent the frame 1 from turning upward.

[0049] When a motorcycle, pickup truck, etc. needs to be loaded onto the trailer, the lock 24 is separated from the hook 25.

[0050] As a supplement to the above technical solution, two sets of running boards 4 are provided: a first set of running boards located on the left side of the rear end of the vehicle frame 1, and a second set of running boards located on the right side of the rear end of the vehicle frame 1. When the flatbed trailer is used to load motorcycles, the motorcycles can be pushed onto the trailer from the first and second running boards, respectively, allowing the trailer to carry two rows of motorcycles. For four-wheeled vehicles such as pickup trucks, the first and second running boards can be used to push the motorcycles onto the trailer using the tires on both sides.

[0051] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a winch system is also included. The winch system includes a fixed beam 19 and a winch 20. One end of the fixed beam 19 is fixed to the vehicle frame 1 by bolts, and the other end of the fixed beam 19 is provided with the winch 20. The winch system is installed at the left or right portion of the front end of the vehicle frame 1. The winch system can tow the motorcycle on the two sets of running boards 4 respectively, so that the direction of the force applied by the winch 20 to the motorcycle is the same as the direction of travel of the motorcycle.

[0052] The frame 1 further comprises a frame end beam, which is transversely arranged at the front end of the frame panel, and its two ends are respectively connected to the two sets of frame longitudinal beams. A fixed beam 19 is connected to the frame end beam.

[0053] As a supplement to the above technical solution, the winch system also includes a first reinforcing beam 21, one end of which is hinged to the middle of the front end of the vehicle frame 1, and the other end of which is hinged to the middle of the fixed beam 19. With this arrangement, when towing a four-wheeled vehicle, such as a pickup truck, the towing hook is located in the middle of the vehicle's front end. Because the winch system is located on the left and right sides of the front end of the vehicle frame 1, the force generated when towing the vehicle is split, which can easily cause the fixed beam 19 to bend under the force. The provision of the first reinforcing beam 21 improves the overall structural stability of the winch system.

[0054] As a supplement to the above technical solution, the winch system also includes a second reinforcement beam 23, one end of which is hinged to the upper end of the frame 1, and the other end of which is hinged to the middle of the fixed beam 19. When only the fixed beam 19 and the first reinforcement beam 21 are provided, only the front end of the frame 1 is subjected to force. To avoid the technical problem of excessive force on the front end of the frame 1 causing deformation, the second reinforcement beam 23 is provided. The second reinforcement beam 23 can transmit force to the upper end of the frame, thereby improving the overall structural stability.

[0055] As a supplement to the technical solution of the present invention, a support plate 22 is provided at the rear end of the frame 1, below the pedals 4. The support plate 22 is vertically arranged, with its ends connected to the two sets of frame longitudinal beams. When the rear end of the frame 1 descends, the support plate 22 contacts the ground, supporting the rear end of the frame 1 and preventing deformation caused by stress on the rear end of the frame 1.

[0056] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
