[0029] As Figures 1 to 4 In the first embodiment, the straddle carrier includes a frame 1, two groups of steering wheel assemblies 2, and two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3.
[0030] The frame 1 comprises a plurality of vertical rods 11 and an upper cross beam 12 and a lower cross beam 13 fixedly connected with the vertical rods 11. The lifting system 4 is installed on the upper cross beam 12.
[0031] The two groups of steering wheel assemblies 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of one end of the frame 1 and are connected with the frame 1 through bearings, so that the wheels in the steering wheel assemblies 2 can rotate along the vertical axis to realize steering. The two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the other end of the frame 1 and are connected with the frame 1 through suspension oil cylinders 5, and the two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3 are connected through pipelines 6, so that the two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3 can be balanced in force transmission through the oil circuit. The specifications of the suspension oil cylinders 5 on both sides are the same.
[0032] Specifically, the floating wheel assembly 3 is connected with the frame 1 through a sliding connection pair, so that the floating wheel assembly 3 can slide up and down relative to the frame 1. In the embodiment, the floating wheel assembly 3 comprises a sliding column 31, the lower cross beam 13 of the frame 1 is provided with a mounting through hole 131, and the sliding column 31 is arranged in the mounting through hole 131 to form a sliding connection pair with the mounting through hole 131. A sliding sleeve 132 is arranged in the mounting through hole 131, and the mounting through hole 131 is matched with the sliding column 31 through the sliding sleeve 132, so as to improve the smoothness of the sliding between the sliding column 31 and the mounting through hole 131.
[0033] The sliding column 31 is connected with the piston rod 52 of the suspension oil cylinder 5, and the cylinder body 51 of the suspension oil cylinder 5 is connected with the frame 1, so that when the oil in the pipeline 6 presses the piston rod 52 (in the case that the floating wheel assembly 3 on the other side moves upward under force), the piston rod 52 extends and pushes the sliding column 31 and the floating wheel assembly 3 on the other side to move downward, and when the floating wheel assembly 3 moves upward under force, the piston rod 52 can be retracted to press the oil to the pipeline 6 (further press the piston rod 52 on the other side through the oil pressure in the pipeline 6 to make the piston rod 52 extend and push the sliding column 31 and the floating wheel assembly 3 on the other side to move downward).
[0034] In the embodiment, the sliding column 31 is hinged with the piston rod 52, and the cylinder body 51 of the suspension oil cylinder 5 is hinged with the frame 1, so that the movement between the cylinder body 51 and the piston rod 52 of the suspension oil cylinder 5 is more smooth.
[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cross-truck comprises a frame 1, two groups of steering wheel assemblies 2, and two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3. The frame 1 comprises a plurality of vertical rods 11 and an upper cross beam 12 and a lower cross beam 13 fixedly connected with the vertical rods 11. The two groups of steering wheel assemblies 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of one end of the frame 1 and are connected with the frame 1 through bearings, so that the wheels in the steering wheel assemblies 2 can rotate along the vertical axis to realize steering. The two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the other end of the frame 1 and are connected with the frame 1 through suspension oil cylinders 5, and the two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3 are connected through pipelines 6, so that the two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3 can be balanced in force transmission through the oil circuit. Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cross-truck comprises a frame 1, two groups of steering wheel assemblies 2, and two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3. The frame 1 comprises a plurality of vertical rods 11 and an upper cross beam 12 and a lower cross beam 13 fixedly connected with the vertical rods 11. The two groups of steering wheel assemblies 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of one end of the frame 1 and are connected with the frame 1 through bearings, so that the wheels in the steering wheel assemblies 2 can rotate along the vertical axis to realize steering. The two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the other end of the frame 1 and are connected with the frame 1 through suspension oil cylinders 5, and the two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3 are connected through pipelines 6, so that the two groups of floating wheel assemblies 3 can be balanced in force transmission through the oil circuit.
[0036] In the embodiment, the upper end of the suspension oil cylinder 5' is hinged to the frame 1', and the lower end is hinged to the floating wheel assembly 3'. The floating wheel assembly 3' is further provided with another hinge hole for being hinged to the frame 1' (in the embodiment, the lower cross beam 13' of the frame 1').
[0037] In the embodiment, the cylinder body 51' of the suspension oil cylinder 5' is hinged to the frame 1', and the piston rod 52' is hinged to the floating wheel assembly 3', so that when the oil in the pipeline 6' pushes the piston rod 52' (in the case that the floating wheel assembly 3' on the other side swings upward under the upward force), the piston rod 52' extends, and the floating wheel assembly 3' swings inward and downward relative to the frame 1'. When the floating wheel assembly 3' is under the upward force, it swings and drives the piston rod 52' to retract, so as to squeeze the oil to the pipeline 6' (further push the piston rod 52' on the other side to extend through the oil pressure in the pipeline 6', so as to make the floating wheel assembly 3' on the other side swing inward and downward relative to the frame 1').
[0038] Compared with the prior art, the two embodiments of the cross conveyor are both provided with the floating wheel assemblies on both sides of one end of the frame, and the two groups of floating wheel assemblies are connected through the pipeline, so that the two groups of floating wheel assemblies are balanced by the oil circuit, and can be regarded as a force support point together with the two wheels on the other end, so as to make the cross conveyor in a three-point support state, and stably run on the rough road surface, and the running stability is high.
