Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vehicle booms, and more specifically, to a boom for an aerial work vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The boom of an aerial work vehicle is a key component, supporting, extending, and positioning the work platform during aerial work. The various segments of the boom are connected by shafts and joints. The shaft is the key component that enables the boom to rotate relative to the ground and is typically made of high-strength metal materials, such as high-quality alloy steel, to withstand significant bending and torque moments.

[0003] When the boom is extended, the connection of the rotating shaft is subjected to a large relative motion friction. Without good lubrication, this friction will consume a lot of energy. During the frequent extension and contraction of the boom, the friction at the connection of the rotating shaft will cause wear of the metal surface. Long-term wear will reduce the matching accuracy of the rotating shaft and increase the gap, thereby affecting the movement stability and reliability of the boom. Therefore, it is necessary to design a boom for aerial work vehicles with a self-lubricating structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0015] 3. Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0017] (1) In this solution, a liquid storage cavity can be set inside the main support frame at the connection between the main rotating shaft outside the main base and the force-bearing frame. The liquid storage cavity is filled with a certain amount of lubricating liquid in advance, and the one-way solenoid valve is opened when the vehicle arm body is started.
