[0026] In the utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the "upper" or "lower" of the first feature to the second feature can include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, the "upper", "upper" and "upper" of the first feature to the second feature include that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The "below", "below" and "below" of the first feature to the second feature include that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.
[0027] As Figure 1As shown, a dump truck rear suspension structure includes a balance suspension 1, a frame 2 connected to a middle axle 3 and a rear axle 4 via the balance suspension 1, and a hydraulic damping assembly 5. The hydraulic damping assembly 5 includes a hydraulic cylinder 51, a first rotating mechanism 52, a second rotating mechanism 53, and a connecting plate 54. The connecting plate 54 is rotatably connected to the balance suspension 1. The first rotating mechanism 52 and the second rotating mechanism 53 are respectively disposed on both sides of the hydraulic cylinder 51 and are hinged to both ends of the hydraulic cylinder 51. The first rotating mechanism 52 is also hinged to the connecting plate 54 and the middle axle 3, and the second rotating mechanism 53 is also hinged to the connecting plate 54 and the rear axle 4.
[0028] The hydraulic damping assembly 5 is installed so that when the vehicle travels on uneven roads, the wheels of the middle axle 3 are lifted vertically, pushing the first rotating mechanism 52 to rotate and compress the hydraulic cylinder 51. The second rotating mechanism 53 rotates in the same direction as the first rotating mechanism 52. The traditional leaf spring is replaced by the hydraulic damping assembly 5, which not only reduces cost and weight, improves space utilization, reduces noise, and facilitates maintenance, but also allows the hydraulic cylinder 51 to adjust the oil pressure according to different vehicle loads. For example, when unloaded, the pressure is reduced to decrease stiffness and improve shock absorption comfort; when heavily loaded, the pressure is increased to enhance rigidity and ensure support stability. Since the hydraulic cylinder 51 has active adjustment capability, there is no problem of leaf springs being easily damaged under different loads and working conditions. In addition, the damping effect of the hydraulic cylinder 51 can alleviate the vibration caused by uneven road surfaces, significantly improving driving comfort.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to achieve shock absorption, the first rotating mechanism 52 and the second rotating mechanism 53 are the same. The first rotating mechanism 52 includes a three-headed hinge plate 521, a connecting rod 522, and a mounting bracket 523 set on the middle bridge 3.

The other two ends of the three-headed hinge plate 521 are respectively hinged to the hydraulic cylinder 51 and the connecting plate 54.
[0030] When the wheel of the middle axle 3 is lifted, the connecting rod 522 is pushed upward to rotate the three-head hinge plate 521 and compress the hydraulic cylinder 51. The three-head hinge plate 521 of the rear axle 4 rotates in the same direction to compress the angle between it and the connecting rod 522. After the angle is compressed to the limit, the rotation stops and the hydraulic cylinder 51 is compressed. When the wheel of the middle axle 3 is lowered, the connecting rod 522 is pulled downward to rotate the three-head hinge plate 521 in the opposite direction to restore its original position. The hydraulic cylinder 51 is stretched to restore its original position. Because the hydraulic cylinder 51 has a damping effect, it can reduce the vibration when the wheel is lifted and lowered, thus improving comfort.
[0031] To prevent dead points from forming when the connecting rod 522 and the three-headed hinge plate 521 rotate, the included angle between the three-headed hinge plate 521 and the connecting rod 522 on the side closer to the hydraulic cylinder 51 is less than 90°.

[0035] The limiting block 7 is arranged on the mounting support 523, and the height of the limiting block 7 is arranged according to the reserved gap between the axle and the vehicle frame 2, so as to prevent the axle and the vehicle frame 2 from directly colliding and being damaged, and the limiting block 7 can also limit the included angle between the three-joint hinged plate 521 and the connecting rod 522, so as to avoid the included angle exceeding 90° when rotating and generating a dead point.
[0036] Embodiment two: the limiting block 7 can be replaced by a hydraulic oil cylinder 51 or an air cylinder, and the corresponding range is arranged according to the position to be limited, which can also have a buffering effect and make the axle rise and fall more gently.
[0037] Embodiment three: in order to avoid rigid collision between the limiting block 7 and the vehicle frame 2, a damping block 8 is arranged on the limiting block 7.
[0038] In order to provide support for the first rotating mechanism 52 and the second rotating mechanism 53, the balance suspension 1 comprises a balance bracket 11, a balance shaft 12, and a push rod mechanism 13 arranged on the intermediate axle 3 and the rear axle 4 respectively, the balance bracket 11 is connected with the vehicle frame 2, the balance shaft 12 is arranged on the balance bracket 11, the end of the balance shaft 12 penetrates through a connecting plate 54, and the connecting plate 54 rotates around the balance shaft 12.
[0039] Embodiment four: in order to reduce the torque received by the balance shaft 12, a guide sleeve 541 is arranged on the inner side of the connecting plate 54, and the end of the balance shaft 12 penetrates through the guide sleeve 541.
[0040] In order to realize the same vertical load of the intermediate axle 3 and the rear axle 4, the push rod mechanism 13 comprises an upper push rod 131 and a lower push rod 132, one end of the lower push rod 132 is hingedly connected with the balance bracket 11, the other end is hingedly connected with the intermediate axle 3, one end of the upper push rod 131 is hingedly connected with the intermediate axle 3, the other end is hingedly connected with the vehicle frame 2, and the push rod mechanism 13 on the rear axle 4 is arranged in the same way as the push rod mechanism 13 on the intermediate axle 3.
[0041] When the middle bridge 3 wheels are lifted and lowered to make the first rotating mechanism 52 rotate, the connecting plate 54, the lower push rod 132, the upper push rod 131 and the first rotating mechanism 52 rotate synchronously, and the other side rear bridge 4 wheels are forced to move downward through the lever principle, so as to ensure that the wheels of the two bridges are always in contact with the ground, avoiding the phenomenon of single-bridge overload or suspension.
