Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of iron carriage technology, and in particular to a horizontal waterproof structure for automobile carriages. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are various types of truck bodies on the market, including those with front and rear doors and those with side wings that open laterally. These side wings can be extended from the left and right sides to load large cargo, facilitating loading and unloading. However, this lateral design has certain problems. In rainy weather or when driving in the countryside, because the wings rotate at a certain angle towards the outside of the truck body, a rotating gap is formed between the wing and the truck body. This gap is designed to facilitate the opening and closing of the left and right wings, but with this design, rainwater can easily flow into the truck body through this gap, wetting the cargo and causing damage, while also keeping the truck body damp. In addition, the existing movable side wing structures are not strong enough and not stable enough, and are prone to damage after long-term use.

[0003] Therefore, based on customer feedback regarding the shortcomings of the existing structure, the inventors made further improvements to overcome the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a horizontal waterproof structure for automobile compartments that has good waterproof function, effectively prevents rainwater from entering the interior of the compartment, and has high overall structural strength.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a horizontal waterproof structure for automobile carriages, including a carriage, a horizontal beam, and a water guide plate;

[0006] The carriage includes a floor, a front panel, and a rear frame. The rear frame is vertically fixed to the floor and has a horizontal beam at its top. One end of the horizontal beam is connected to the top of the rear frame, and the other end is connected to the top of the front panel. The horizontal beam is horizontally positioned with the floor and has two symmetrical water collection channels. Each water collection channel has multiple short columns on its inner bottom surface. These short columns are hinged to an L-shaped side panel. The left and right L-shaped side panels are symmetrically positioned and can rotate around the horizontal beam via a drive mechanism, thus opening and closing the L-shaped side panels on the sides of the carriage. Water guide plates are installed at the front and rear ends of the horizontal beam, and the water guide plates are spaced a certain distance from the two ends of the horizontal beam. Rainwater collected in the water collection channels flows out from the distance between the ends.

[0007] During operation, the symmetrically arranged L-shaped side panels act as the left and right side covers of the carriage to close it. When the drive mechanism pushes the L-shaped side panels upward to open them, rain or water droplets enter the water collection groove in the horizontal beam, preventing rainwater from entering the carriage when the L-shaped side panels are open. At the same time, if there is too much rainwater in the water collection groove, it will flow out with the end gap, achieving good waterproofing.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the driving mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder mechanism and is installed on the rear frame and the front panel. The extension rod of the hydraulic cylinder mechanism is hinged to the L-shaped side panel.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the carriage, columns, horizontal beams and two L-shaped side plates are all made of iron.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the horizontal beam is also provided with a bending plate. The two water collection troughs in the horizontal beam are connected and the outer sides of the two water collection troughs are connected with the bending plate. Both bending plates are bent inward and perpendicular to the side of the water collection trough. When the hydraulic cylinder mechanism retracts and causes the L-shaped side plate to rotate downward to close the carriage, the upper surface of the bending plate on both sides of the water collection trough abuts against the inner bottom surface of the short side of the L-shaped side plate, so that the L-shaped side plate is stably supported and the structural strength is improved.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the horizontal beam is opened along the side length direction of the carriage, and multiple short columns in the horizontal beam are arranged along the length direction of the horizontal beam.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the water guide plate is fixedly connected to the rear frame of the carriage and the front panel, and the surface of the water guide plate is perpendicular to the end of the horizontal beam.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, multiple reinforcing ribs are provided between the short and long sides of the L-shaped side plate. The multiple reinforcing ribs are arranged at a certain interval and are triangular in shape, which makes the L-shaped side plate structure stronger.

[0014] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] (2) Higher structural strength;

[0016] The existing left and right movable side wing door structures of automobile carriages are not strong enough and not stable enough. The horizontal beam in this solution has a bent plate. Through the cooperation of the bent plate and the L-shaped side plate, when the L-shaped side plate moves downward to close, the bent plate abuts against the short edge of the L-shaped side plate, making its structural strength higher. At the same time, the L-shaped side plate in this solution has reinforcing ribs, which makes the overall structural strength of the L-shaped side plate even higher.

[0017] (1) It has good waterproof function;

[0018] Because the left and right wings of the truck body rotate to open and close, there is a gap between the truck body and the wings. On rainy days, rainwater can easily flow into the truck body through this gap, damaging the goods or causing the truck body to become damp. This solution connects the horizontal beam with a water collection trough to the upper part of the truck body. Whether the L-shaped side panels are opened or closed, rainwater will fall into the water collection trough and will not enter the truck body. Finally, it will flow out from the water guide plates at both ends, thus effectively waterproofing the truck body. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0026] It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "left" and "right" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship that the product of this invention is usually placed in during use, or the orientation or positional relationship that is commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Such terms are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0028] Therefore, based on the above issues, please refer to Figure 1 This utility model proposes a horizontal waterproof structure for automobile compartments to solve the problem.

[0029] See Figures 1-5 The proposed implementation scheme provides a horizontal waterproof structure for automobile carriages, including a carriage 12, a horizontal beam 1, a column, and a water guide plate 7.

[0030] Among them, see Figure 1 The carriage 12 is a rectangular carriage 12, and the carriage 12 includes a floor plate and a rear frame 2 and a front plate. The rear frame 2 and the front plate are vertically arranged at the front and rear ends of the floor plate. The two sides of the rear frame 2 are two columns, and the two sides of the front plate are also set as two columns. The columns play a supporting role.

[0031] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A horizontal beam 1 is installed on the upper part of the carriage 12. One end of the horizontal beam 1 is connected to the top of the rear frame 2 and the other end of the horizontal beam 1 is connected to the top of the front panel. The horizontal beam 1 is set parallel to the floor. Two symmetrical water collection troughs 3 are opened in the horizontal beam 1. Both water collection troughs 3 are set horizontally upward to collect rainwater. Multiple short columns 4 are set on the bottom surface of the water collection trough 3. The multiple short columns 4 and an L-shaped side plate 5 are movably hinged. The L-shaped side plate 5 has a short side 9 and a long side 10 that are perpendicularly connected to each other. The short side 9 is hinged to the multiple short columns 4, and the long side 10 is located on the left and right sides of the carriage 12 as a movable side wing.

[0032] Among them, see Figure 4 The L-shaped side plate 5 can rotate around the horizontal beam 1 through the drive mechanism, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the left and right sides of the carriage 12. A total of four drive mechanisms are respectively set in the four columns, and the drive mechanism extends a telescopic rod to connect with the L-shaped side plate 5.

[0033] Among them, see Figure 3 Water guide plates 7 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the horizontal beam 1. The water guide plates 7 are fixedly installed on the front panel and rear frame 2 of the carriage 12. The surface of the water guide plate 7 is perpendicular to the end of the horizontal beam 1 and is a certain distance away from the end of the horizontal beam 1. When too much rainwater accumulates in the water collection trough 3, the water can flow out from the end along the water guide trough.

[0034] During operation, the L-shaped side panels 5 located on the left and right sides of the carriage 12 are pushed upward by the drive mechanisms at the four corners, thereby opening the carriage 12 from the left and right sides. At this time, goods are loaded. Since the L-shaped side panels 5 are hinged to the horizontal beam 1, their rotation gap is the two water collection grooves 3 in the horizontal beam 1. Rainwater falls into the water collection grooves 3 and does not enter the carriage 12. At the same time, when there is too much rainwater in the water collection groove 321, it will flow out through the water guide plate 7 at the edge, achieving good waterproofing.

[0035] Currently available car bodies 12 with side-opening functionality often experience problems when driving in the rain or off-road. The wings typically open and close by rotating around the roof of the body 12. However, this rotation creates a gap at the connection between the wings and the body 12, allowing rainwater to easily seep into the body 12, damaging cargo or causing dampness and inconvenience. Therefore, this design proposes a horizontal waterproof structure for the car body. A horizontal beam 1 is fixed to the top of the body 12, and two water collection troughs 3 are installed within the beam 1. L-shaped side plates 5 are hinged to the water collection troughs 3, acting as side wings. This transforms the rotation gap into space within the water collection troughs 3, allowing rainwater to fall directly into them and prevent it from entering the body 12. Simultaneously, water guide plates 7 are installed at both ends of the horizontal beam 1, diverting excess water from the water collection troughs 3 to the edges, effectively waterproofing the body 12.

[0036] It should be noted that the rear frame 2 of the carriage 12 in this solution is a rectangular frame. The bottom of the rectangular frame is fixedly connected to the vehicle floor. A rear panel is provided in the rectangular frame. The rear panel is in the shape of a door and can be opened and closed to facilitate loading and unloading of goods. Furthermore, the carriage 12 in this solution is an iron carriage 12, and the corresponding horizontal beam 1 is also made of iron.

[0037] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 For the drive mechanism, four drive mechanisms are respectively installed in the front plate and the rear frame 2. The drive mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder mechanism 6. The hydraulic cylinder mechanism 6 has a telescopic rod installed upward. The end of the telescopic rod is hinged to the L-shaped side plate 5. When the hydraulic cylinder is activated, the telescopic rod moves upward and pushes the L-shaped side plate 5 upward. At the same time, the L-shaped side plate 5 is hinged to the end of the telescopic rod, so the L-shaped side plate 5 can rotate and open around the multiple short columns 4 in the horizontal beam 1.

[0038] It should be noted that the drive mechanism can also use a motor or pneumatic drive to drive the L-shaped side plate 5. This drive structure enables the left and right L-shaped side plates 5 to rotate around the horizontal beam 1 because they are hinged to the horizontal beam 1, thereby allowing the L-shaped side plates 5 to open and close relative to the carriage.

[0039] Two water collection troughs 3 in the horizontal beam 1 are symmetrically arranged and connected by a connecting plate to form two rectangular grooves. A bending plate 8 is provided on the outer side of each of the two rectangular grooves (i.e., the left and right outer sides of the horizontal beam 1). Both bending plates 8 are bent at a perpendicular angle to the side of the water collection trough 3. The two bending plates 8 are arranged opposite each other (i.e., bent inward). The two ends of the connecting plate are fixedly connected to the front panel and the upper edge of the rear frame 2 of the carriage 12, respectively, so that the horizontal beam 1 is connected to the carriage 12. The bending plates 8 on both sides of the horizontal beam can improve the structural strength of the L-shaped side plate 5. When the compression rod retracts, the L-shaped side plate 5 rotates and closes the carriage 12 downward. The inner bottom surface of the L-shaped side plate 5 contacts the upper surface of the outer bending plate 8, so that the L-shaped side plate 5 is stably supported by the outer bending plate 8, thereby improving the structural strength of the L-shaped side plate 5.

[0040] Furthermore, the horizontal beam 1 extends forward and backward through the connecting plate between the two water collection tanks 3 and is fixedly connected to the front panel and rear frame 2 of the carriage 12 respectively. At the same time, multiple short columns 4 in the horizontal beam 1 are opened along the length direction of the horizontal beam 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, see Figures 1-3 The water guide plate 7 includes a side plate and a water guide groove. A front water guide plate 7 is set between the front vehicle plate and the horizontal beam 1, and a rear water guide plate 7 is set between the rear frame 2 and the horizontal beam 1. The side plate of the front water guide plate 7 is fixed to the front vehicle plate, and its water guide groove is connected to the end groove of the water collection groove 3 to guide the water in the water collection groove 3 to flow out from the left and right sides. At the same time, the rear water guide plate 7 also guides the water in the rear side water collection groove 3 to flow out, so as to better waterproof the car body 12.

[0042] Furthermore, the L-shaped side plate 5 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 11. The multiple reinforcing ribs 11 are located at the connection between the short and long sides 10 of the L-shaped side plate 5. The multiple reinforcing ribs 11 are arranged at a certain distance from each other and are triangular in shape, which has high stability, thereby making the overall structural strength of the L-shaped side plate 5 higher.

[0043] It should be noted that the short sides 9 of the two L-shaped side plates 5 arranged symmetrically on the left and right together form the upper top surface of the carriage 12. When the L-shaped side plates 5 rotate, rainwater falls into the water collection groove 3 of the horizontal beam 1 between the two L-shaped side plates 5, thus preventing rainwater from falling into the carriage 12.

[0044] Working principle: The horizontal waterproof structure of the car body 12 in this solution is specifically connected to the top of the car body 12 by setting up a horizontal beam 1. The L-shaped side plates 5, which are symmetrically hinged in the horizontal beam 1, serve as the left and right side doors of the car body 12. The drive mechanism pushes upward to open the L-shaped side plates 5, and the goods are put in. If there is rainwater, the rainwater will fall into the water collection groove 3 of the horizontal beam 1, thus preventing rainwater from entering the car body 12. Finally, the rainwater flows out from the water guide plate 7 at the end. When the drive mechanism retracts the telescopic rod, the L-shaped side plates 5 are closed, and the inner bottom surface of the short side 9 of the two L-shaped side plates 5 on the left and right sides abuts against the left and right bending plates 8 of the horizontal beam 1.

[0045] Existing car bodies 12 typically have side wings that open laterally, facilitating the expansion of the interior space for storage. However, because a gap exists between the car body 12 and the side wings when they rotate to open and close, rainwater can easily enter the car body 12 through this gap, causing water ingress and damage to goods. Furthermore, the existing movable side wing structure lacks sufficient structural strength when installed with the car body 12. This solution designs a horizontal waterproof structure, using a horizontal beam 1 connected to the car body... The top of the carriage 12 is connected, and the horizontal beam 1 is hinged to the L-shaped side plate 5 via the short column 4, so that the L-shaped side plate 5 serves as the side wing of the left and right opening and closing doors of the carriage 12. The horizontal beam 1 is equipped with double water collection tanks 3, and rainwater will fall into the water collection tanks 3 and will not enter the carriage 12. Finally, it will flow out from the water guide plates 7 at both ends, thus preventing it from seeping into the interior of the carriage 12. At the same time, the horizontal beam 1 has bent plates 8 on the left and right sides. Through the cooperation of the bent plates 8 and the L-shaped side plate 5, the L-shaped side plate 5 has higher structural strength and is more stable when closed.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
