[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a pure electric double-head concrete mixer truck, including a frame 1. The upper two ends of the frame 1 are respectively provided with a front cab 2 and a rear cab 3. A pure electric mixing tank 4 is installed in the upper middle part. The mixing tank is driven by an upper motor 18. A steering mechanism and a drive motor 8 for driving the steering mechanism are installed under the frame 1.

[0021] Specifically:

[0022] The steering mechanism includes a steering axle, which is divided into two groups, front and rear, connected to both ends of the bottom surface of the frame 1. Each group has two axles: a drive steering axle 9 and a driven steering axle 10. The drive motor 8 drives the two groups of drive steering axles 9 through a transfer case. Wheels 11 are mounted on both the drive steering axle 9 and the driven steering axle 10. A tie rod I 13 is hinged to the steering knuckle of each of the drive steering axle 9 and the driven steering axle 10. The other end of the tie rod I 13 is hinged to a steering swing arm 14. The steering swing arm 14 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 through a steering swing arm pin seat. The two steering swing arms 14 are connected by a tie rod II 15. A steering cylinder 16 is mounted on both the drive steering axle 9 and the driven steering axle 10. The steering cylinder 16 is hinged to the steering knuckles at both ends through a tie rod. The steering cylinder 16 has a single-piston, double-piston rod structure. The cylinder barrel is fixed on the steering axle, and the piston rod is hinged to the side steering knuckle arms of the steering knuckles at both ends through a tie rod.

[0023] The steering mechanism also includes a centering cylinder 17, one end of which is mounted on a cylinder support on the frame 1, and the other end is hinged to a steering arm 14 between the drive steering axle 9 and the driven steering axle 10.

[0024] An electrical control box 5 and a hydraulic station 6 are mounted on the frame 1, located on one side of the front cab 2. The electrical control system in the electrical control box 5 is connected to the drive motor 8 and the superstructure motor 18, and is used to control the vehicle's movement and the rotation speed and steering of the mixing tank 4. The superstructure motor 18 drives the mixing tank 4 to rotate through a reducer to achieve agitation and unloading. The hydraulic station 6 is connected to the steering cylinder 16 and the centering cylinder 17 through pipelines to provide hydraulic power for them.

[0025] A battery box 7 is also installed below the frame 1. The battery box 7 contains a power battery that is connected to the drive motor 8 and the superstructure motor 18 to provide them with power.

[0026] The working principle of the above structure:

[0027] The vehicle's movement and the mixing tank's operation are driven by the drive motor and the superstructure motor, respectively, which simplifies the transmission system, improves transmission efficiency, reduces the number of parts in the overall vehicle transmission system, and also reduces air and noise pollution. Moreover, both cabs of the dual-head concrete mixer truck can control the steering of both wheels, allowing it to travel in both directions without turning around.

[0028] The steering mechanism in this embodiment is part of the steering system of a dual-head concrete mixer truck. The steering system mainly consists of a steering pump, power steering unit, electro-proportional directional valve, centering solenoid valve, steering cylinder, centering cylinder, steering arm, steering tie rod, and angle sensor. The steering axle in the steering mechanism is divided into front and rear groups. The front and rear steering axles are operated separately and in conjunction with each other via an angle sensor and controller, providing multi-mode steering. An electro-hydraulic composite steering system is used, with the vehicle's steering mode selected via buttons: front axle steering, figure-eight steering, and diagonal driving mode. When the driving mode is front axle steering, the power steering unit at one end is operated, and the other wheel is in the center position and locked by the corresponding centering cylinder. When the driving modes are figure-eight and diagonal driving, the steering operation is performed by operating the power steering unit through the driver's cab steering wheel, pushing the front group steering. The front group steering angle signal controls the rear group steering to achieve figure-eight and diagonal driving. Conversely, the steering operation is performed by operating the power steering unit through the other driver's cab steering wheel, pushing the rear group steering. The rear group steering angle signal controls the front group steering to achieve figure-eight and diagonal driving.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
