They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description.

The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-6A rear wheel steering device with a large square frame is shown, including a main shaft 1, a steering cylinder 2, a bridge connecting rod 3, two arm sleeves 4, and two connecting parts 5 with the same structure. Arm sleeves 4 are fixed at both ends of the main shaft 1. One end of the arm sleeve 4 is connected to one end of the connecting part 5. The middle part of the connecting part 5 is vertically welded to the wheel axle 7. The two arm sleeves 4 and the two connecting parts 5 are symmetrically arranged about the main shaft 1. One end of the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 is hinged to the main shaft 1, and the telescopic end of the steering cylinder 2 is hinged to the other end of the connecting part 5. The bridge connecting rod 3 is arranged parallel to the main shaft 1, and its two ends are respectively hinged to the other end of the corresponding connecting part 5. Both ends of the main shaft are hinged with connectors of the same structure. The middle part of the connector is welded to the wheel axle. A steering cylinder 2 is hinged to the middle of the main shaft 1. Its telescopic end is hinged to the connecting claw 50301 of the connector 5. The connecting claw 50301 of the connector 5 is hinged to both ends of the bridge connecting rod 3. Therefore, by controlling the retraction and extension of the telescopic end of the steering cylinder 2, the left or right angle offset of the wheel axle 7 is controlled by the integrated synchronous transmission, thereby realizing the steering of the rear wheel 8. This effectively adjusts the steering efficiency, reduces the difficulty of operation, and significantly improves the work efficiency.

[0022] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 The connecting component 5 includes two rotating booms 501, a shaft connecting plate 502, a connecting rod mounting plate 503, a flanged pin 504, and an arc-shaped support plate 505. The two rotating booms 501 are symmetrically welded to the upper half of the shaft connecting plate 502. Pin holes 50101 are coaxially formed on the two rotating booms 501. The flange end of the flanged pin 504 is fixed to one of the pin holes 50101, and the other end of the flanged pin 504 passes through the other pin hole 50101 and is secured with a nut. The shaft connecting plate 502... A shaft hole is provided, into which a wheel axle 7 is inserted and welded for fixation. A connecting rod mounting plate 503 is welded to the lower half of the shaft connecting plate 502. The connecting rod mounting plate 503 is set perpendicular to the flanged pin shaft 504. An arc-shaped support plate 505 is welded to the arc-shaped end face of the connecting rod mounting plate 503. The end of the connecting rod mounting plate 503 furthest from the root is constructed with two connecting claws 50301. Connecting holes 50302 are coaxially formed on the two connecting claws 50301, with a pin shaft between them. A collar 6 is welded to the telescopic end of the steering cylinder 2. Figure 4 Both ends of the bridge connecting rod 3 are also welded with collars 6, and the collars 6 are all fitted onto the corresponding pins.

[0023] To reinforce the structure of the connector 5, straight stiffeners 507 are welded between the roots of the connecting rod mounting plates 503, and angle stiffeners 506 are welded between the two connecting claws 50301 of the connecting rod mounting plates 503.

[0024] When machining the connecting part 5, an angle will be formed between its rotating arm 501 and the shaft connecting plate 502 so that the main shaft 1 and the wheel axle 7 can be misaligned. In the actual machining and production process, the angle between the center line of the rotating arm 501 and the plate surface of the shaft connecting plate 502 is designed to be 10°.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model:

[0026] like Figure 1 When stationary, the steering cylinder 2 is locked, and the center of the steering linkage 3 is kept on the wheel axle centerline, at which time the rear wheel 8 can travel in a straight line;

[0027] like Figure 2 In the left-turn state, the extension end of the steering cylinder 2 retracts, thereby stretching the connecting claw 50301 on the left connecting piece 5, causing its outer angle to shift to the right, which in turn drives the connecting claw 50301 on the right connecting piece 5 to shift to the right angle, thus realizing the overall left-turn state of the rear wheel 8.

[0028] like Figure 3 In the right turn state, the extension end of the steering cylinder 2 extends and presses against the connecting claw 50301 on the left connecting piece 5, causing its outer angle to shift to the left, which in turn causes the center of the bridge connecting rod 3 to shift to the left, thereby causing the connecting claw 50301 on the right connecting piece 5 to shift to the left angle, thus realizing the overall right turn state of the rear wheel 8.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
