AI Technical Summary
During the extension and retraction process of the existing semi-trailer outriggers, the long cylinder body is prone to contact with the ground after retraction, causing accidents, and the short cylinder body has insufficient extension stroke and cannot meet the requirements of extension and retraction at the same time.
A semi-trailer outrigger is designed, which combines a long and short cylinder hydraulic device. By adding an extension leg, the overall length of the outrigger can be extended without extending the length of the cylinder, ensuring contact with the ground when extended, and increasing the distance between the bottom of the outrigger and the ground after retraction to avoid contact.
Without increasing the length of the cylinder, the outriggers can be effectively extended and retracted, thus avoiding damage caused by contact with the ground and improving safety and flexibility of use.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semi-trailer outriggers, in particular to a semi-trailer outrigger. Background Art
[0002] A semitrailer is a heavy-duty transport vehicle with its axle positioned behind the vehicle's center of gravity (when evenly loaded) and equipped with a hitch that transmits horizontal and vertical forces to the towing vehicle. Semitrailers are typically three-axled and come in a variety of types, including 11-meter sidecars, 13-meter sidecars, and low-bed trailers. They are connected to the semitrailer's head with a tow pin.
[0003] When the tractor is separated from the semi-trailer, the front end of the semi-trailer needs to be supported by a supporting device. The supporting device is commonly known as the semi-trailer outrigger, which is divided into two parts, the left and right, and is an indispensable part of the semi-trailer. The extension and retraction degree of the current semi-trailer outrigger is limited by the length of the hydraulic cylinder. The longer the cylinder, the longer the extension and retraction stroke.
[0004] Therefore, the outriggers with long cylinder bodies have a long telescopic stroke, and can achieve the purpose of contacting the ground well when extended. However, after retracting, the distance between the bottom of the outrigger and the ground is small, and it may contact the ground when the tractor drives towards the slope, causing an accident and damaging the road surface and the bottom of the outrigger. The outriggers with short cylinder bodies have a short telescopic stroke. After retracting, the distance between the bottom of the outrigger and the ground is large, which can effectively prevent the tractor from contacting the ground when driving towards the slope. However, due to the short stroke when extended, it may affect the contact between the bottom of the outrigger and the ground. Utility Model Content

[0025] In order to enable people skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The extension and retraction degree of the current semi-trailer outriggers is limited by the length of the hydraulic cylinder. The longer the cylinder, the longer the extension stroke. Therefore, the outriggers with long cylinders have a long extension stroke and can achieve good contact with the ground when extended. However, after retracting, the distance between the bottom of the outrigger and the ground is small. When the tractor drives towards a slope, it may contact the ground and cause an accident, damaging the road surface and the bottom of the outrigger. The outriggers with short cylinders have a short extension stroke. After retracting, the distance between the bottom of the outrigger and the ground is large, which can effectively prevent the tractor from contacting the ground when driving towards a slope. However, due to the short stroke when extended, it may affect the contact between the bottom of the outrigger and the ground.
[0029] Therefore, the design concept of this application is to add an extension leg on the basis of the short cylinder leg. In this way, the advantages of the long and short cylinder hydraulic devices can be combined to extend the overall length of the leg without extending the length of the cylinder, so that it can be in good contact with the ground when extended. After retracting, the distance between the bottom of the leg and the ground is increased to avoid accidents caused by contact with the ground.
