Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of truck transportation technology, specifically to a truck front protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Flatbed trucks are a common type of vehicle used in road transport. They are attached to the back of trucks because they are convenient for loading and unloading large and heavy goods, and can carry more cargo than other types of trucks of the same size, making them popular with transport companies.

[0003] When transporting steel coils or pipes, the goods are often hoisted onto flatbed trucks and then secured with pads and cables. However, during transport, if there is a sudden stop, the steel coils are prone to being thrown directly towards the front of the truck due to inertia, which can cause serious injury to the driver inside the truck and, in severe cases, even lead to the driver's death, making it a highly dangerous situation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a truck front protection device to solve the above problems, as detailed below.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a truck front protection device, including a chassis frame. A vertical frame is fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the chassis frame. The vertical frame and the chassis frame cooperate to form an L-shape. Both sides of the chassis frame are detachably connected to the front end of a towed flatbed truck through several bolts. An L-shaped flat plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the chassis frame. The upper surface of the L-shaped flat plate is provided with a plow-type ramp panel for tilting the cargo to one side of the vehicle body.

[0007] Preferably, the chassis frame is internally fixedly connected to a reinforcing frame one, and the upright frame is internally fixedly connected to a reinforcing frame two.

[0008] Preferably, triangular reinforcing plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower side wall of the upright, and the bottom edges of the two triangular reinforcing plates abut against the surface of the flatbed.

[0009] Preferably, the bolted connector includes a bolt groove formed on the chassis frame, a through hole formed in the bolt groove, a bolt inserted into the through hole, and a nut threadedly connected to the end of the bolt through a reserved hole on the flatbed.

[0010] Preferably, the L-shaped flat plate includes a base plate, and a vertical plate is fixedly connected to the end of the base plate. The base plate and the vertical plate are respectively adapted to the chassis frame and the upright frame.

[0011] Preferably, a slope guide plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the base plate, and the height of the slope guide plate is adapted to the thickness of the chassis frame.

[0012] Preferably, a number of support rods are fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical plate. The support rods are distributed in a grid pattern and have different lengths. The ends of the support rods fit and are fixedly connected to the inner arc surface of the plow-type slope panel. The lower sides of the support rods are fixedly connected to the base plate or the support rod below it through uprights.

[0013] Preferably, the plow-type slope panel includes a guide section, a turning section, and a leading section, which are arranged sequentially and integrally formed into a smooth design. The guide section, turning section, and leading section are all concave smooth arc surfaces with the left side higher than the right side. The top heights of the guide section and the leading section are the same, and the top height of the turning section is twice the top heights of the guide section and the leading section.

[0014] Preferably, a side guard plate is fixedly connected between the plow-slide slope panel and the bottom plate, and a triangular top guard plate is fixedly connected between the upper end of the plow-slide slope panel, the side guard plate, and the vertical plate.

[0015] Preferably, the plow-slide slope panel has several hemispherical chambers fixedly connected to it through circular holes, and the openings of the hemispherical chambers are flush with the surface of the plow-slide slope panel. Each hemispherical chamber is fitted with a rolling ball.

[0016] The beneficial effects are:

[0017] When encountering sudden braking, the steel coil rolls towards the front of the truck, first contacting the ramp guide plate, causing the coil to roll onto the chassis frame and floor surface and then into contact with the guide section. As the coil continues to roll, it tilts upwards after contacting the guide section on its left side. After contacting the steering section, the left side of the coil rises to its highest point and rotates 90 degrees around its right bottom as an axis. Finally, guided by the exit section, it falls to the right side of the vehicle, preventing the coil from directly crushing the cab. This effectively protects the front of the truck and allows for disassembly and reuse, improving its practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] See Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a truck front protection device, including a chassis frame 1. A vertical frame 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the chassis frame 1. The vertical frame 2 and the chassis frame 1 cooperate to form an L-shape. Both sides of the chassis frame 1 are detachably connected to the front end of the towed flatbed truck through several bolts. An L-shaped flat plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the chassis frame 1. The upper surface of the L-shaped flat plate 3 is provided with a plow-type ramp panel 4 for tilting the cargo to one side of the vehicle body.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the chassis frame 1 is internally fixedly connected with a reinforcing frame 7, and the upright frame 2 is internally fixedly connected with a reinforcing frame 8, which can improve the structural strength of the chassis frame 1 and the upright frame 2.

[0030] Specifically, triangular reinforcing plates 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower side wall of the upright frame 2, and the bottom edges of the two triangular reinforcing plates 9 abut against the surface of the flatbed, which can improve the support strength of the upright frame 2 under pressure.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the bolted connector includes a bolt groove 10 on the chassis frame 1, a through hole 11 through the bolt groove 10, a bolt 12 inserted into the through hole 11, and a nut 13 threadedly connected to the end of the bolt 12 through a pre-drilled hole on the flatbed. The end of the bolt 12 can be fixed by inserting a wrench into the bolt groove 10. At this time, the lower end of the bolt 12 passes through the pre-drilled holes on both sides of the flatbed. Then, the nut 13 is rotated and fixed onto the bolt 12, thus completing the installation and fixing of the chassis frame 1.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the L-shaped flat plate 3 includes a base plate 301. A vertical plate 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the base plate 301. The base plate 301 and the vertical plate 302 are respectively adapted to the chassis frame 1 and the upright frame 2. A slope guide plate 303 is fixedly connected to the other end of the base plate 301. The height of the slope guide plate 303 is adapted to the thickness of the chassis frame 1. The slope guide plate 303 can make the steel coil rolling on the surface of the flatbed roll smoothly onto the surface of the base plate 301, avoiding bouncing. At the same time, the upper ends of the vertical plate 302 and the upright frame 2 are flush with the top of the truck after installation.

[0033] As an optional implementation, a plurality of support rods 304 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical plate 302. The plurality of support rods 304 are distributed in a grid pattern and have different lengths. The ends of the plurality of support rods 304 fit and are fixedly connected to the inner arc surface of the plow-slide slope panel 4. The lower sides of the plurality of support rods 304 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 301 or the support rods 304 located below it through the uprights 305. The support of the plurality of support rods 304 and the uprights 305 on the inner side of the plow-slide slope panel 4 can improve the structural strength of the plow-slide slope panel 4 under pressure.

[0034] Reference Figure 5As shown, the plow-slide slope panel 4 includes a guide section 401, a turning section 402, and a leading section 403. These sections are arranged sequentially and form a smooth, integral design. Each section has a concave, smooth, curved surface with the left side higher than the right. The top heights of the guide section 401 and the leading section 403 are the same, while the top height of the turning section 402 is twice that of the guide section 401 and the leading section 403. The top view of the plow-slide slope panel 4 is triangular in shape. The end of the guide section 401 smoothly transitions into the upper part of the slope guide plate 303. When encountering sudden braking, the steel coil rolls towards the front of the vehicle, first contacting the slope guide plate 303, causing the steel coil to roll onto the surface of the chassis frame 1 and the bottom plate 301 and contact the guide section 401. As the steel coil continues to roll, it tilts upward after contacting the guide section 401 on the left side. After contacting the steering section 402, the left side of the steel coil rises to its highest point and rotates 90 degrees around the right side as an axis. Finally, guided by the exit section 403, it falls to the right side of the vehicle, completing the protection of the front of the vehicle. By pointing the exit section 403 towards the right side of the vehicle, the steel coil can be prevented from rolling into the left small lane when the truck is traveling on the highway due to sudden braking.

[0035] Furthermore, a side guard plate 404 is fixedly connected between the plow-slide slope panel 4 and the bottom plate 301. A triangular top guard plate 405 is fixedly connected between the upper end of the plow-slide slope panel 4, the side guard plate 404, and the vertical plate 302. This guard plate can cover the support rod 304, making the outer side of the plow-slide slope panel 4 more aesthetically pleasing and improving the overall strength of the outer side of the plow-slide slope panel 4.

[0036] Reference Figure 6 As shown, a number of hemispherical compartments 6 are fixedly connected to the plow-slide slope panel 4 through the round holes. The openings of the hemispherical compartments 6 are flush with the surface of the plow-slide slope panel 4. Each hemispherical compartment 6 is fitted with a rolling ball 5, which can make the rolling ball 5 roll on the surface of the plow-slide slope panel 4, so that goods such as steel coils can come into contact with the plow-slide slope panel 4 more smoothly.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model:

[0038] The device is placed at the front of the flatbed truck by the lifting equipment, so that the upright 2 is behind the front of the truck. At this time, the slope guide plate 303 and the guide section 401 face the rear of the truck. The end of the bolt 12 can be fixed by inserting a wrench into the bolt groove 10. At this time, the lower end of the bolt 12 passes through the pre-made insertion holes on both sides of the flatbed truck. Then, the nut 13 is rotated and fixed on the bolt 12, which completes the installation and fixation of the chassis frame 1. Then, the steel coil is fixed to the surface of the flatbed truck in a conventional way. When encountering a sudden braking situation, the steel coil rolls towards the front of the truck. First, it contacts the slope guide plate 303, so that the steel coil rolls onto the surface of the chassis frame 1 and the bottom plate 301 and contacts the guide section 401. As the steel coil continues to roll, it tilts upward after contacting the guide section 401 on the left side. After contacting the turning section 402, the left side of the steel coil rises to the highest point and rotates 90 degrees around the bottom right side as the axis. Finally, under the guidance of the exit section 403, it falls to the right side of the vehicle, completing the protection of the front of the truck.

[0039] When the vehicle is transporting steel pipes, the front end of the steel pipes, under the action of inertia, comes into contact with the right-inclined plow-slide slope panel 4. By contacting the inclined surface of the plow-slide slope panel 4, the steel pipes are guided to push to the right side of the vehicle, which can effectively protect the driver on the left.

[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
