Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mudguard technology for loaders, and specifically to an integral mudguard for loaders. Background Technology

[0002] Mudguards (also known as mud flaps) are protective devices installed above or behind wheels, primarily used to prevent mud, gravel, water, or other debris kicked up by the wheels during driving or operation from splashing onto the machine body, cab, or other working parts. They are typically made of wear-resistant and impact-resistant materials (such as rubber, polyurethane, or metal), reducing wear and corrosion caused by debris impacts on equipment, and improving operational safety and environmental cleanliness.

[0003] In the field of loaders, mudguards on construction machinery such as wheel loaders often only cover part of the top, resulting in poor mud-blocking and protection effects. Furthermore, the inside of the tire covered by the mudguard is inconvenient for inspection and maintenance, making it difficult to promptly eliminate potential tire defects and repair problems. Often, the entire mudguard needs to be removed, which is labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above problems, an integral mudguard for loaders is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by developing an integral mudguard for loaders. This invention enhances the protective effect of mudguards, facilitates cleaning, and allows for easy inspection and maintenance of the inner side of the tires, thus preventing safety accidents and improving safety and practicality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0007] An integral mudguard for a loader includes a fixed mudguard mounted on the loader's frame. A movable mudguard is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed mudguard away from the frame via a rotating assembly. A limiting assembly is connected to the rotating assembly. A stop seat is provided on the movable mudguard, and the stop seat is connected to the limiting assembly to prevent the movable mudguard from opening too far and to provide auxiliary support for the movable mudguard. The loader also includes: a guide support assembly disposed between the movable mudguard and the fixed mudguard, and between the movable mudguard and the frame, to support the movable mudguard when it is not rotating; and a locking assembly disposed between the movable mudguard and the frame to temporarily fix the relative position between the movable mudguard and the frame.

[0008] Preferably, after the locking assembly fixes the position of the movable baffle, the fixed baffle and the movable baffle together form an arch shape.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes an extension seat located at the front corner of the fixed baffle away from the frame. A rotating shaft is provided on the extension seat, and the movable baffle is rotatably connected to the rear corner of the movable baffle away from the frame. The movable baffle can rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft, and the axis of the rotating shaft is perpendicular to the upper surface of the fixed baffle and the movable baffle. The bottom end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a fixed plate, and the fixed plate is mounted on the extension seat by fixing bolts.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting assembly includes a limiting rod, one end of which is rotatably mounted on an extension seat, with the axis of rotation parallel to the axis of rotation. A limiting groove is formed on the limiting rod along its length, and a limiting pin is slidably mounted in the limiting groove. The limiting pin is mounted on a stop seat via an angle plate, and the stop seat is located on the bottom side of the movable baffle.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the limiting groove is such that the angle of rotation of the movable baffle around the rotation axis is no greater than 90°.

[0012] Preferably, the guide support assembly includes a support block and a guide seat. The guide seat is set on the fixed baffle and the frame. The guide seat is provided with a guide groove. The opening of the guide groove faces the direction of the movable baffle. The support block is set on the movable baffle at the position corresponding to the guide groove. An inclined plate is set on the outside of the guide groove for guiding the movement of the support block.

[0013] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a latch and a retaining pin. The latch is rotatably mounted on the frame, and the retaining pin is mounted on a movable baffle. The latch can engage with the retaining pin by rotation.

[0014] Preferably, a buffer block is also included, which is mounted on the frame by a screw and is used to contact the side of the movable baffle.

[0015] Preferably, a handle is also included, located on the outer front end of the movable baffle.

[0016] The effects provided in the utility model description are merely those of the embodiments, and not all the effects of the utility model. The above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0017] The mudguard of this utility model has a more comprehensive mud-blocking effect, better structural strength, and is more convenient to use. By setting a movable baffle that can rotate around the fixed baffle, the fixed baffle is connected to the frame and serves as the main support point of the entire device. The movable baffle can compensate for the limited blocking range in front of the fixed baffle, and the movable baffle can be opened and closed by the rotating component, which facilitates the maintenance and inspection of tires, etc.

[0018] By setting limit components and locking components, the movable baffle can always maintain a stable state when closing and opening, making it safer to use. During use, limit rods of different lengths can be selected to control the angle, making the application more flexible. When closed, the rear limit component can provide auxiliary support, making the overall structure stronger. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] An integral mudguard for a loader includes a fixed baffle 1 mounted on the loader's frame. The side of the fixed baffle 1 furthest from the frame is rotatably connected to a movable baffle 2 via a rotating assembly 3. A limiting assembly 4 is connected to the rotating assembly 3. A stop 5 is mounted on the movable baffle 2 and connected to the limiting assembly 4 to prevent excessive opening and closing angles of the movable baffle 2 and to provide auxiliary support. The mudguard also includes a guide support assembly 6, positioned between the movable baffle 2 and the fixed baffle 1, and between the movable baffle 2 and the frame, to support the movable baffle 2 when not rotating and to guide it when rotating. A locking assembly 7 is positioned between the movable baffle 2 and the frame, located on the side of the movable baffle 2 furthest from the tire, to temporarily fix the relative position between the movable baffle 2 and the frame, enhancing the stability of the mudguard during use.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, after the locking assembly 7 fixes the position of the movable baffle 2, that is, when the mudguard is in use, the overall side of the fixed baffle 1 and the movable baffle 2 is arched, and the upper end of the arch is flat, which facilitates the rotation of the movable baffle 2 around the fixed baffle 1.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the rotating assembly 3 includes an extension seat 31, which is bolted to the front corner of the fixed baffle 1 away from the frame. A rotating shaft 32 is mounted on the extension seat 31, which rotatably connects to the rear corner of the movable baffle 2 away from the frame. The movable baffle 2 can rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 32 to make room for tire maintenance. The axis of the rotating shaft 32 is perpendicular to the upper surfaces of the fixed baffle 1 and the movable baffle 2. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to a fixed plate 33, which is mounted on the extension seat 31 by fixing bolts 34. The fixed plate 33 is used to enhance the support of the rotating shaft 32 for the movable baffle 2, thereby improving the stability of the movable baffle 2 during rotation.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the limiting component 4 includes a limiting rod 41, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the extension seat 31, and its axis of rotation is parallel to the axis of the rotation shaft 32. A limiting groove 42 is formed on the limiting rod 41 along its length direction, and a limiting pin 43 is slidably mounted in the limiting groove 42. The limiting pin 43 is mounted on the stop seat 5 via a corner plate 44, and the stop seat 5 is located on the bottom side of the movable baffle 2. Preferably, the limiting groove 42 is L-shaped, with the short end of the L-shape at the end of the limiting rod 41 away from the extension seat 31 and facing the fixed baffle 1, so that the movable baffle 2 can achieve self-limiting between the limiting pin 43 and the limiting groove 42 after rotating to the maximum opening and closing angle, avoiding the shaking of the movable baffle 2 and improving the stability of the movable baffle 2 after opening and closing. More preferably, the length of the limiting groove 42 is such that the angle of rotation of the movable baffle 2 around the rotation shaft 32 is not greater than 90°, so as to avoid the movable baffle 2 from having an excessively large angle of movement that may cause injury to the staff and improve safety.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the guide support assembly 6 includes a support block 61 and a guide seat 62. There are two guide seats 62, which are respectively disposed on the fixed baffle 1 and the frame. Each guide seat 62 is provided with a guide groove 63, and the opening direction of the guide groove 63 is facing the direction of the movable baffle 2. The support block 61 is disposed on the movable baffle 2 at the position corresponding to the guide groove 63, and an inclined plate 64 is disposed on the outside of the groove of the guide groove 63. The inclined plate 64 is used to guide the movement of the support block 61, so as to avoid the guide seat 62 failing to support due to the inaccurate position of the support block 61, thereby improving stability and opening and closing efficiency.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the locking assembly 7 includes a latch 71 and a fixing pin 72. The latch 71 is rotatably mounted on the frame, and the fixing pin 72 is fixedly mounted on the movable baffle 2. The latch 71 can be engaged with the fixing pin 72 by rotation to temporarily fix the relative position between the movable baffle 2 and the frame. Preferably, the locking assembly 7 can use a commonly available buckle to achieve the locking effect, which is more economical.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, a buffer block 8 is also included. The buffer block 8 is made of rubber and is mounted on the frame via a screw 81. A nut is threaded onto the screw 81, and the nut contacts the frame to fix the distance between the buffer block 8 and the frame. By rotating the screw 81, the distance between the buffer block 8 and the frame can be adjusted to accommodate different levels of buffering on the movable baffle 2. The buffer block 8 is used to contact the side of the movable baffle 2 to prevent the movable baffle 2 from rigidly colliding with the frame, thereby improving its service life.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, a handle 9 is also included, which is located on the outer side of the front end of the movable baffle 2, making it convenient for workers to pull and control the opening and closing of the movable baffle 2, thereby improving the practicality of the mudguard.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, an inner baffle is also included. The inner baffle is disposed on the lower side of the fixed baffle 1 and the movable baffle 2 near the tire and can be fixed in position by bolts. The outer side of the inner baffle is smooth and is used to protect the rotating assembly 3 and the limiting assembly 4 to prevent mud and other debris splashed by the tire from entering the rotating assembly 3 and the limiting assembly 4 and affecting the opening and closing of the movable baffle 2, thereby extending the service life and improving stability.

[0037] Working principle: The fixed baffle 1 is bolted to the frame. The movable baffle 2 is connected to the fixed baffle 1 via an extension seat 31 and a rotating shaft 32. The rotating shaft 32, after being connected, allows the movable baffle 2 to rotate around its axis via the extension seat 31. The support block 61 is bolted to the movable baffle 2. The guide seat 62 consists of two parts: one guide seat 62 is welded to the fixed baffle 1, and the other guide seat 62 is bolted to the frame. When the movable baffle 2 is not rotating, the guide seat 62 can support the support block 61. When rotating, the guide seat 62 can guide. The limiting rod 41 is connected to the extension seat 31 via a cotter pin. When the movable baffle 2 is opened to a certain angle, the limiting pin 43 in the upper limit groove 42 of the limiting rod 41 reaches its maximum stroke to limit the movement of the movable baffle 2 and prevent it from moving too far and potentially causing injury to nearby workers. The locking assembly 7 connects the frame and the movable baffle 2 and is used to temporarily fix the relative position between the frame and the movable baffle 2 when the movable baffle 2 is closed.

[0038] During maintenance, the locking assembly 7 is opened, and the movable baffle 2 is rotated around the rotating shaft 32 by pulling the handle 9, which makes it easier to inspect and maintain the inner side of the tire and to clean the bottom of the mudguard. After maintenance, the movable baffle 2 is pushed back, and the support block 61 enters the guide groove 63 under the guidance of the inclined plate 64, so that the guide seat 62 supports the support block 61. Then the locking assembly 7 is locked again, which improves the overall stability of the mudguard.
