[0009] Furthermore, the supporting frame also includes a second end plate arranged opposite to the first end plate, and the second end plate is suitable for abutting against the gooseneck.

[0010] Furthermore, the supporting frame further includes a bottom plate arranged above the first side plate and the second side plate, and the slope surface is formed on the bottom plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the driving component is a hydraulic cylinder.

[0012] To improve or resolve the technical problem in the prior art of the front neck supporting structure requiring manual installation and removal, resulting in inconvenience in use, the present invention provides a frame. The frame comprises a frame body having a cargo platform; a gooseneck fixedly connected to the frame body and having a load-bearing surface; a gooseneck connecting ramp as described above; a supporting frame of the gooseneck connecting ramp having one end articulated with the frame body and the other end overlapped on the gooseneck, the supporting frame having a sloped surface connecting the load-bearing surface and the cargo platform; and a driving member having one end articulated with the supporting frame and the other end articulated with the gooseneck.

[0013] Furthermore, the vehicle frame includes a main beam and side brackets arranged on both sides of the main beam, and the load-bearing frame is hingedly connected to the side brackets.

[0014] Furthermore, the gooseneck includes a lap joint supporting the supporting frame, a bearing portion having the bearing surface, and a connecting portion connecting the lap joint and the bearing portion; one end of the driving member forms a hinged connection with the lap joint.

[0015] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The first end of the carrier is hingedly connected to the frame body, and the other end is overlapped on the gooseneck, so that the driving part drives the carrier to rotate, so that the sloped surface of the carrier is connected to the bearing surface of the gooseneck and the cargo platform of the frame body; one end of the driving part is hingedly connected to the carrier, and the other end is hingedly connected to the gooseneck, which can drive one end of the carrier to rise and fall; when the sloped surface is raised, it can connect the bearing surface and the cargo platform, which is convenient for parking the machine on the bearing surface; when the sloped surface is lowered, it can cooperate with the cargo platform and serve as a part of the cargo platform, which is convenient for parking the machine on the cargo platform.

[0026] Figure 1 1 is a first schematic diagram of an embodiment of the vehicle frame of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the utility model is a reversible gooseneck connecting ramp including a supporting frame 1 and a driving member 2.

[0027] Figure 2 This is a first axonometric view of an embodiment of the vehicle frame of the present utility model. Figure 3 This is a second isometric view of an embodiment of the vehicle frame of the present invention. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, one end of the carrier frame 1 is hingedly connected to the vehicle frame body 100, and the other end is attached to the gooseneck 200. In one or more embodiments, the carrier frame 1 includes a first side panel 11, a second side panel 12, a first end panel 13, an intermediate panel 14, a second end panel 15, a mounting panel 16, and a bottom panel 17. The first and second side panels 11, 12 are arranged opposite each other and have identical shapes and structures. The ends of the first and second side panels 11, 12 proximate the gooseneck 200 are recessed upward to form a groove that matches the gooseneck 200, so that the sloped surface 171 on the bottom panel 17 is flush with the cargo platform of the vehicle frame body 100. Furthermore, the first end panel 13 is disposed at the end away from the gooseneck 200 and connects the first and second side panels 11, 12. A hinged seat is provided on the first end panel 13, which forms an hinged connection with the vehicle frame body 100 via the hinged seat. Specifically, two hinged seats are provided, one near each end of the first end plate 13. Furthermore, an intermediate plate 14 is located near the gooseneck 200 and connects the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12. The intermediate plate 14 and the first end plate 13 are arranged parallel to each other. Furthermore, a second end plate 15 is located at one end of the first and second side plates 11 and 12 near the gooseneck 200, connecting the first and second side plates 11 and 12. It can abut against the gooseneck 200 to enhance the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of the support frame 1. Furthermore, a reinforcement plate 18 is provided between the first and second side plates 11 and 12, connecting them. The reinforcement plate 18 is arranged opposite the intermediate plate 14. The mounting plate 16 is disposed between the first and second side plates 11 and 12, with its ends connected to the intermediate plate 14 and the reinforcement plate 18, respectively. A hinged seat is provided on the mounting plate 16, through which the driving member 2 forms an articulated connection with the mounting plate 16. Furthermore, the bottom plate 17 is arranged above the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 and is connected to all other plates of the carrier frame 1. The top surface of the bottom plate 17 is a sloped surface 171, which connects the cargo platform of the frame body 100 and the load-bearing surface 204 of the gooseneck 200 when one end of the carrier frame 1 is raised and tilted; and when one end of the carrier frame 1 is lowered and level, it is flush with the cargo platform of the frame body 100.

Furthermore, the frame body 100 also includes a panel 103 arranged above the main beam 101 and the side bracket 102, and the upper side of the panel 103 is a cargo platform. There are two side brackets 102, and there are two corresponding load-bearing frames 1. The bottom plates 17 on the two load-bearing frames 1 are connected and cover the main beam 101. When the load-bearing frame 1 is arranged horizontally, the sloped surface 171 on the bottom plate 17 is flush with the cargo platform on the panel 103.

[0032] Continue to see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one or more embodiments, the gooseneck 200 includes an overlapping portion 201 that supports the carrier 1, a bearing portion 202 suitable for supporting engineering machinery, and a connecting portion 203 connecting the bearing portion 202 and the overlapping portion 201.
