[0023] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, the quick-attach ball head storage mechanism of this embodiment includes a storage carrier plate 1. One side of the storage carrier plate 1 is provided with a columnar or tubular support 11 for inserting and quickly attaching the ball head 2. The end of the support 11 away from the storage carrier plate 1 is detachably equipped with a limiting component 3 for preventing the quick-attach ball head 2 from detaching from the support 11.
[0026] In this embodiment, the quick-connect ball joint storage mechanism involves fixing the storage carrier plate 1 to the surface of another carrier (such as the fitting position on a tractor), inserting the unused quick-connect ball joint 2 (or a spare ball joint) onto the columnar or tubular bracket 11, and then installing a limiting component 3 at the end of the bracket 11 away from the storage carrier plate 1. The limiting component 3, in conjunction with the storage carrier plate 1, secures the quick-connect ball joint 2 to the bracket 11. The entire mechanism has a simple and reasonable structural design, facilitating the storage of quick-connect ball joints, reducing the risk of loss or dropping, and meeting the user's needs for a better user experience.
[0027] The length of the bracket 11 is slightly larger than the axial dimension of the quick-connect ball head 2, so that the movement of the quick-connect ball head 2 after being restricted on the bracket 11 is small, thus avoiding large collisions when it moves on the bracket 11 under external influence.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned brackets 11 are provided in multiple form and are spaced apart on one side of the storage carrier plate 1.
[0029] In the above implementation scheme, multiple brackets 11 are configured to store multiple quick-connect ball heads 2 at one time, which better meets the hanging and storage needs of the quick-connect ball heads 2.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the storage carrier plate 1 is a straight strip, and a plurality of the brackets 11 are spaced apart along the length of the storage carrier plate 1.
[0031] In the above implementation scheme, the storage carrier plate 1 has a simple shape design. Its long and narrow design will not take up a lot of space and is also suitable for installation and use in small areas.
[0032] In this embodiment, the storage carrier plate 1 can be designed as an oval shape with blunt edges.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the bracket 11 is perpendicular to the storage carrier plate 1.
[0034] In the above implementation scheme, the design of the bracket 11 being perpendicular to the storage carrier plate 1 allows the length of the bracket 11 to be minimized as much as possible, only designed to be slightly greater than the axial length of the quick-attach ball head 2.
[0035] The bracket 11 can be fixedly assembled with the storage carrier plate 1 by welding.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the aforementioned storage carrier plate 1 has a mounting part 12 fixed on one side for mounting on the carrier.
[0037] In the above implementation scheme, the mounting part 12 facilitates the assembly and fixation of the entire storage carrier plate 1 on a tractor or other carrier, thereby enabling the installation and use of the fixed point.
[0038] Of course, the mounting part 12 can also be replaced by a component with magnetic parts, which can be attached to the tractor by adsorption.
[0039] In this embodiment, the structure of the mounting part 12 includes at least the following two forms:
[0040] 1) such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting part 12 is a mounting plate provided on one side of the storage carrier plate 1. The storage carrier plate 1 is preferably designed as a long and straight plate. The mounting part 12 is provided along the long side of one side of the storage carrier plate 1. The two can be an integral plate or fixed together by welding. At least two mounting holes are provided on the mounting plate along its length direction. The mounting part is assembled and fixed with a carrier such as a tractor by bolts passing through the mounting holes.
[0041] In the above scheme 1), when the storage carrier plate 1 is installed, the mounting plates are distributed on the left and right sides of the storage carrier plate 1 to achieve left and right orientation assembly.
[0042] 2) such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting part 12 is a connecting ear plate provided at one or both ends of the storage carrier plate 1. The storage carrier plate 1 is preferably designed as a long and straight plate. The connecting ear plate is designed at one or both ends of the storage carrier plate 1 (it can be any one or both ends in the length direction or any one or both ends in the width direction). Each connecting ear is provided with a through mounting hole. Bolts pass through the mounting holes to achieve assembly and fixation with a carrier such as a tractor.
[0043] In the above scheme 2), the two ends of the connecting ear plate are distributed. During assembly, the connecting ear is located at the upper and lower ends, which can realize the assembly of the upper and lower positions.
[0044] Of course, brackets 11 can also be set at both ends of the storage carrier plate 1 so that more quick-attach ball heads 2 can be stored on both sides of the storage carrier plate 1. At the same time, a mounting part 12 (plate component) perpendicular to it is set on one side of the storage carrier plate 1. The mounting part 12 is opened with assembly holes and bolts are passed through to achieve assembly and fixation with carriers such as tractors.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting component 3 includes a locking pin, and the end of the bracket 11 away from the storage carrier plate 1 is provided with a vertical through-hole, and the locking pin is inserted into the through-hole.
[0046] In the above implementation scheme, the limiting component 3 adopts a locking pin that is already available on the market. When in use, after the quick-connect ball head 2 is put on the bracket 11, the end of the bracket 11 away from the storage carrier plate 1 is exposed (that is, the socket is exposed). Then, the locking pin is passed through the socket. The operation is very simple and convenient. When the quick-connect ball head 2 needs to be removed, the locking pin is pulled out. After removing the quick-connect ball head 2, the locking pin is put back into the socket to avoid the locking pin being lost.
[0047] Of course, to prevent the locking pin from being lost, a safety rope can be provided for the locking pin. The two ends of the safety rope are connected to the locking pin and the storage carrier plate 1, respectively. Even if the locking pin is removed and not put back in place, the locking pin can be prevented from being lost through the safety rope.
[0048] In this embodiment, the locking pin is a commercially available type B spring pin. The type B spring pin includes a long straight pin and another pin integrally connected to one end of the first pin and bent into a "wavy" shape. In use, the long straight pin passes through the insertion hole, and the wavy pin is pressed apart, with one wavy "clamp" on the outer surface of the bracket 11, thus achieving good positioning.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the aforementioned storage carrier plate 1 is covered with a flexible outer layer.
[0050] In the above implementation scheme, the design of the flexible outer layer can provide a certain degree of protection for the quick-connect ball head 2. Specifically, when the quick-connect ball head 2 is assembled on the bracket 11, it will be subject to external force and has a certain amount of movement along the bracket 11. Therefore, it will collide with the storage carrier plate 1. By setting the flexible outer layer, the collision can be buffered, and at the same time, the noise generated during the collision can be reduced.
[0051] Specifically, the aforementioned flexible outer layer can be made of vulcanized rubber.
[0052] Example 2
[0053] The tractor in this embodiment includes the quick-connect ball joint storage mechanism of Embodiment 1. The carrier in Embodiment 1 is the adapter part on the tractor in Embodiment 2.
[0054] Mounting part 12 is assembled and fixed to the adapter part of the tractor by bolts passing through mounting holes thereon.
[0055] The use of this entire mechanism on a tractor has the following advantages:
[0056] 1) When the tractor adopts a quick-connect mechanism, the tractor adds a special quick-connect ball head storage mechanism to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of users for comfort and convenience when using the tractor.
[0057] 2) The quick-connect ball head storage mechanism is based on three basic installation forms: left, right (installation part 12 is on any side or both sides) and top and bottom (installation part 12 is on any end or both ends). Different variations and combinations can be made to meet the actual layout of the tractor and the user's needs. Installed in a suitable position on the tractor, the applicability of the mechanism is greatly improved.
[0058] 3) This quick-connect ball head storage mechanism can store multiple quick-connect ball heads 2 to meet user needs. A type B locking pin is used for limiting the position and preventing the ball heads from falling off. Simultaneously, the entire assembly undergoes a vulcanization process, evenly coating the sheet metal with rubber, greatly improving design reliability and practicality while also reducing noise and vibration.
[0059] 4) The quick-connect ball head storage mechanism is mainly composed of sheet metal and round tube welded parts. It has a simple structure and the ball head storage mechanism support structure is completely open, which avoids the situation where foreign objects enter the tractor and are difficult to clean under complex working conditions. The outer vulcanized rubber layer also effectively avoids rust problems caused by water accumulation.
