Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the transportation vehicle locking technical field, especially relate to an adjustable car body locking mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the demand of the logistics transportation industry for vehicle modularization and efficient loading and unloading, the detachable car body becomes the mainstream design due to its flexibility and versatility. However, the widely used pin / bolt type fixing locking device in the prior art has significant technical bottlenecks, which are as follows:

[0003] 1) Efficiency and operation complexity. The current mainstream pin / bolt locking mechanism relies on manual one-by-one alignment installation, which is time-consuming, especially in the multi-lock point scenario.

[0004] 2) Long-term stability and safety defects. In a dynamic load and vibration environment, the traditional pin / bolt is prone to looseness or even falling off. Studies have shown that the pre-tightening force attenuation rate of bolt connection under alternating stress can reach more than 30%, which requires additional anti-loosening measures such as double nuts and locking steel wires, but such measures still cannot completely avoid the gradual failure caused by material fatigue or vibration.

[0005] 3) Insufficient adaptability and high maintenance cost. The existing locking device has poor adaptability to the car body and chassis structure. The traditional hook needs to be accurately matched and welded with the car body bottom hook plate, which results in low compatibility between different manufacturers' models, limiting the cross-platform versatility of the car body. In addition, the threads of the bolt / pin are prone to contamination or rust, and frequent cleaning and lubrication are required during maintenance, increasing the maintenance cost.
