[0029] A truck cargo box roller shutter door includes: guide rails (4 / 5 / 6), door body, crossbars (53 / 74), rollers (33), single spring mechanism (39), double spring mechanism (38) and locking mechanism.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the roller shutter door includes a "┐" shaped guide rail (4&5&6) installed inside the carriage. The door body includes: a top plate (1), a middle plate (2), a bottom plate (3), and a crossbar (53) rotatably mounted on the lintel of the carriage door via a side hinge (27) and a center hinge (30) composed of multiple narrow strip plates. The crossbar (53) is rotatably mounted on the lintel of the carriage door via bearings (44&45). Rollers (33) that can slide in the guide rail (4&5&6) are installed on both sides of the door body, so that the door body can slide along the guide rail (4&5&6).
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first wire rope wheel (47 & 48) is fixed on the crossbar (53) of the single spring mechanism (39). The wire rope (55) is wound on the first wire rope wheel (47 & 48), and its end is connected to the wire rope hook (10) installed at the bottom of the base plate (3).
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, a second wire rope wheel (73 & 82) is fixed on the crossbar (74) of the double spring mechanism (38). The wire rope (55) is wound on the second wire rope wheel (73 & 82), and its end is connected to the wire rope hook (10) installed at the bottom of the base plate (3).
[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the bottom of the base plate (3) is equipped with a door lock (17), and the bottom of the corresponding carriage is equipped with a latch (20) that cooperates with the door lock (17) and the latch (21).
[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first torsion spring (52) of the single spring mechanism (39) is sleeved on the crossbar (53). One end of the spring is fixed to the torsion spring bracket (40) through the torsion spring base (51) and the bearing (45). The torsion spring bracket (40) is fixed to the carriage. The other end is fixed to the crossbar (53) through the first torsion spring adjusting seat (50).
[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, two second torsion springs (76) are sleeved on the crossbar (74) of the double spring mechanism (38). One end of each of the two second torsion springs (76) is fixed to the carriage by a fixed seat combined with a bracket (70 & 83), and the other end is fixed to the crossbar (74) by a second torsion spring adjusting seat (77).
[0036] In the above, the purpose of the single spring mechanism (39) and the double spring mechanism (38) is to allow the door to be closed by means of the torsion force of the torsion spring, so that the door will not drop to the lowest position instantly when the door is pulled down, thus playing a role in slow descent; when it is to be opened, the torsion spring can be used to reduce the pulling force of opening the door upward, making it easier to open the door.
[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the door frame of the carriage is equipped with side sealing strips (9) on both sides, the top plate (1) is equipped with an upper sealing strip (57) on the top side, and the bottom plate (3) is equipped with a lower sealing strip (12) on the bottom side.
[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base plate (3) is equipped with a handle (15) and a pull strap (13).
[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the door lock (17) and lock hook (21) are fixed on the base plate (3), and the lock buckle (20) is fixed in the lock groove at the bottom of the carriage. The door lock (17) offers three installation options: outward opening, inward opening, and double opening (inward and outward). During operation, the protective device must first be manually unlocked to release the lock on the door lock (17) handle. After unlocking, the latch (19) is in the lockable state. When the door needs to be locked, the operator manually pulls down the door and manually rotates the lock handle to insert the latch (19) into the lock groove and engage with the lock buckle (20), thereby ensuring that the door is securely closed. At this time, the lock hook (21) is tightly engaged with the door lock (17) handle to prevent the door from being accidentally opened during use. At the same time, a lock hole is provided on the lock hook (21), and the customer can configure whether to lock it according to their own needs. When unlocking, the operator manually unlocks the lock hook (21). After the lock hook (21) is released, the lock tongue (19) can be disengaged from the lock latch (20), and the door can be opened smoothly.
[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a limiting block (8) is provided at one end of the guide rail.
[0041] The main technical solution of this utility model is as follows: The roller shutter door includes a "┐"-shaped guide rail installed at the rear of the carriage. The door leaf is made of multiple narrow and long strip plates (aluminum profiles, composite materials, wood, etc.) connected by hinges. Rollers that can slide within the guide rail are installed on both sides of the door leaf, allowing the door leaf to slide smoothly along the guide rail. A crossbar is installed on the carriage door frame via a rotating bracket and a wire rope wheel is fixed thereon. The wire rope is wound on the wire rope wheel, and its end is connected to the bottom of the door leaf. In addition, a limit block is designed at the end of the guide rail to prevent the door from sliding off the guide rail due to malfunction or abnormal conditions. The bottom of the door leaf is equipped with a door lock, handle, and pull strap. A lock groove that cooperates with the door lock is set at the bottom of the carriage to ensure that the door leaf can be securely locked.
[0042] When opening this utility model, the door lock hook must first be unlocked, and then the door leaf is lifted upwards. A torsion spring provides assistance through its rebound force, allowing the door leaf to move upwards more easily. Simultaneously, a steel wire rope, wound through a wire rope pulley, drives the door leaf to slide upwards along the guide rail, ultimately retracting the door leaf to the top of the truck bed. To close, the door leaf needs to be manually pulled down, and the safety device unlocked before locking. The latch engages with the latch to ensure the door leaf is securely closed. This roller shutter door design effectively saves external space in the truck bed, is simple and efficient to operate, and provides great convenience for drivers when loading and unloading goods.
[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
