Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of pickup truck boom technology, and more specifically to a pickup truck boom with a folding and storage structure. Background Technology
[0002] In modern logistics, engineering operations, and emergency rescue, the demand for cargo lifting and equipment loading / unloading is becoming increasingly diverse and efficient. Pickup trucks, as vehicles that combine off-road capabilities, road adaptability, and a certain cargo capacity, are widely used in various scenarios. However, the cargo carrying and lifting functions of traditional pickup trucks are relatively limited, and relying solely on the cargo bed and simple rope binding is insufficient to meet the handling needs of some special, heavy, or irregularly shaped items.
[0003] As operational scenarios become increasingly complex, such as emergency power repairs in the field, material delivery in mountainous areas, and small construction sites, there is a need for a lifting device that can be easily installed on a pickup truck without affecting its normal driving mobility. Conventional cranes are often bulky and have fixed structures, significantly increasing the overall length and height of the pickup truck after installation. This not only presents challenges in navigating roads with height and width restrictions but also increases wind resistance, affecting vehicle stability and fuel economy. Furthermore, non-folding, retractable cranes occupy considerable space when not in use, affecting the normal cargo-carrying capacity of the pickup truck bed. They are also susceptible to collision damage or rust and corrosion from prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain, reducing the equipment's lifespan and reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pickup truck boom with a folding and storage structure. By installing the folding boom with the boom base, the pickup truck boom has the functions of rapid deployment and retraction of the boom, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A pickup truck boom with a folding and storage structure, including
[0007] A boom mount, on which a folding boom is installed;
[0008] The boom base includes a mounting plate with mounting holes at each of the four corners and the upper end of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the mounting base. A motor and a lifting cylinder are respectively mounted on the upper end of the mounting base. The motor and the lifting cylinder are electrically connected through the mounting base. The top of the lifting cylinder is connected to the lifting base. The upper end of the lifting base is connected to the motor housing. A rotary motor is installed inside the motor housing.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the rotary motor is connected to the upper first connecting seat. The upper end of the first connecting seat is provided with a rotary shaft. The upper and lower ends of the rotary shaft are each provided with a bearing, and the top end is provided with a limiting nut. The rotary shaft is located inside the bearing seat. The bearing seat is fixedly connected to the motor housing and is located at the upper end of the motor housing.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bearing seat is provided with a plurality of fixing nuts one, which are threadedly connected to the corresponding fixing bolts. The fixing bolts are located at one end of the rotating arm, and the other end is provided with a plurality of fixing nuts two, which are threadedly connected to the corresponding fixing bolts four. The fixing bolts four are located on the upper shaft seat, and the inner side of the upper shaft seat is provided with a bearing two. The inner side of the bearing two is connected to the rotating shaft two, and the top end of the rotating shaft two is provided with a limiting nut two.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the second bearing rotates around the second rotating shaft, and two bearings are provided at the upper and lower ends of the middle position of the second rotating shaft. The two bearings at the upper end are connected to the upper shaft seat, and the two bearings at the lower end are connected to the lower shaft seat. The bottom of the second rotating shaft is provided with a second connecting seat, and the bottom of the second connecting seat is connected to the second rotating motor. The outer side of the second rotating motor is equipped with a second motor housing.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the lower shaft seat is provided with a plurality of fixing bolts three, the fixing bolts three are threadedly connected to the fixing nuts three, the fixing nuts three are located at one end of the folding arm, and the bottom of the other end of the folding arm is provided with a hanging ring, and a hook is connected to the hanging ring.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] In this invention, during installation, bolts are first fixed to the inside of the pickup truck bed through mounting holes. The motor is electrically connected to the lifting cylinder. When the pickup truck boom is operated, the lifting cylinder pushes the lifting seat upward, which in turn moves the motor housing and bearing seat upward. The device inside the motor housing and bearing seat moves upward accordingly. The lifting cylinder is driven by the motor. Through a precise control system, the height of the pickup truck boom can be accurately adjusted. When loading and unloading goods, the goods can be accurately placed at the required height. The lifting cylinder can directly convert electrical energy into mechanical energy for lifting actions, resulting in high energy transmission efficiency. It does not suffer from energy loss like hydraulic systems, such as hydraulic oil leakage and oil pipe resistance, and has highly efficient power transmission.
[0015] In this utility model, when in use, a rotary motor is installed inside the motor housing. After the rotary motor is turned on, the rotary motor drives the first connecting seat to rotate, the first connecting seat drives the rotary shaft and the bearing seat to rotate, and the bearing seat drives the rotary arm to rotate. The rotary arm can rotate with the rotary motor, which can greatly expand its working range. Traditional fixed-direction booms can only perform lifting operations within a limited angle range, while rotatable booms can cover almost all areas around the vehicle, enhancing the flexibility of the working range.
[0016] In this invention, when the distance between the goods to be lifted and the pickup truck boom is too far, the second rotary motor rotates, driving the second connecting seat and the second rotary shaft to rotate. The second connecting seat drives the folding arm to rotate, and the folding arm moves out from under the rotating arm, which can greatly expand the working range of the folding arm in the vertical and horizontal directions. The folding arm can be folded and stored by the drive of the second rotary motor, which can significantly reduce the space occupied by the folding arm during vehicle operation. When driving on urban roads or entering underground parking lots, the folded arm can restore the overall size of the pickup truck to a state close to that of a regular pickup truck, making it easier for the vehicle to pass through various traffic facilities, saving space and improving vehicle driving safety.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bearing housing 111 is provided with a plurality of fixing nuts 112. The fixing nuts 112 are threadedly connected to the corresponding fixing bolts 22. The fixing bolts 22 are located at one end of the rotating arm 21, and the other end is provided with a plurality of fixing nuts 23.

The rotating arm 21 can rotate with the rotary motor 17, which can greatly expand its working range. Traditional fixed-direction booms can only carry out lifting operations within a limited angle range, while rotatable booms can cover almost all areas around the vehicle, enhancing the flexibility of the working range.
[0032] In this embodiment, the second bearing 26 rotates around the second rotating shaft 25, and two bearings are provided at the upper and lower ends of the second rotating shaft 25 at the middle position.

The folding arm 213 can be folded and stored by the drive of the second rotary motor 210. During vehicle operation, the space occupied by the folding arm 2 can be significantly reduced. When driving on urban roads or entering underground parking lots, the folded folding arm 2 can restore the overall size of the pickup truck to a state close to that of a regular pickup truck, making it easier for the vehicle to pass through various traffic facilities, saving space and improving vehicle driving safety.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During installation, the bolts are first fixed to the inside of the pickup truck bed through the mounting holes 12.

The lifting seat 16 drives the rotating motor housing 113 and bearing seat 111 to move upward. The device inside the motor housing 113 and bearing seat 111 moves upward accordingly. The lifting cylinder 15 is driven by the motor 14. Through a precise control system, the height of the pickup truck boom can be accurately adjusted. When loading and unloading goods, the goods can be accurately placed at the required height. The lifting cylinder 15 can directly convert electrical energy into mechanical energy for lifting action. It has high energy transmission efficiency and does not have the energy loss problems of hydraulic systems, such as hydraulic oil leakage and oil pipe resistance. It has efficient power transmission.

The first connecting seat 114 drives the rotating shaft 18 and the bearing seat 111 to rotate. The bearing seat 111 then drives the rotating arm 21 to rotate. The rotating arm 21 can rotate with the rotary motor 17, which can greatly expand its working range. Traditional fixed-direction booms can only carry out lifting operations within a limited angle range, while rotatable booms can cover almost all areas around the vehicle, enhancing the flexibility of the working range.
[0037] When the distance between the cargo to be lifted and the pickup truck boom is too far, the second rotary motor 210 rotates, driving the second connecting seat 29 and the second rotary shaft 25 to rotate. The second connecting seat 29 drives the folding arm 213 to rotate, and the folding arm 213 moves out from under the rotating arm 21, which can greatly expand the working range of the folding arm 2 in the vertical and horizontal directions. The folding arm 213 can be folded and stored by the rotation motor 210, which can significantly reduce the space occupied by the folding arm 2 during vehicle operation. When driving on urban roads or entering underground parking lots, the folded folding arm 2 can restore the overall size of the pickup truck to a state close to that of a regular pickup truck, making it easier for the vehicle to pass through various traffic facilities, saving space and improving vehicle driving safety.
