[0002] With the rapid development of the logistics and transportation industry, semi-trailers have become an important tool for cargo transportation due to their efficiency and economy. However, in actual transportation, the increasing demand for diverse goods, especially for oversized cargo, means that the traditional width of the semi-trailer's cargo platform can no longer meet the actual needs.

[0003] Currently, the width of the cargo platform on most semi-trailers on the market is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the width of the cargo. This insufficient width is particularly problematic when transporting oversized cargo, leading to cargo being suspended in mid-air or exhibiting poor stability, which can easily cause safety accidents. Furthermore, existing solutions are mostly temporary measures (such as using wooden blocks or support frames), which are not only complex to operate but also fail to guarantee cargo stability.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can quickly and conveniently widen the cargo platform of a trailer to meet the market demand for ultra-wide cargo transportation. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the position adjustment structure includes guide seats located on both sides of the platform, and a sliding support seat is provided inside the guide seat. The support structure is detachably mounted on the sliding support seat.

[0008] Furthermore, there are multiple guide seats on each side of the platform, and the guide seats are located below the platform, with a spacing of 100-200mm between two adjacent guide seats.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide seat is made of a rectangular tube, the sliding support seat is slidably installed inside the guide seat, the support structure includes a support plate, the lower end of the support plate is supported by the sliding support seat, and the outer end of the sliding support seat is provided with a baffle that cooperates with the support plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a position control structure is provided between the sliding support and the guide seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the position control structure includes a stop pin disposed on the sliding support seat, the stop pin being connected to an operating handle, and a positioning hole cooperating with the stop pin being disposed in the guide seat. When the stop pin is inserted into the positioning hole, the relative position of the sliding support seat and the guide seat is fixed.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the device for adjusting the width of the semi-trailer cargo platform includes a support structure set on the side of the cargo platform, and a position adjustment structure is provided between the support structure and the cargo platform. The distance between the support structure and the cargo platform can be adjusted by the position adjustment structure, thereby widening the cargo platform as needed to meet the cargo carrying requirements.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a device for adjusting the width of a semi-trailer cargo platform includes a support structure installed on the side of the cargo platform 1. A position adjustment structure 2 is installed between the support structure and the cargo platform 1. The distance between the support structure and the cargo platform 1 can be adjusted by the position adjustment structure 2. Specifically, the position adjustment structure 2 includes guide seats 4 fixed on both sides of the cargo platform 1. The guide seats 4 are made of steel rectangular tubes with a wall thickness of 12-16mm. They are fixed to the bottom of the cargo platform 1 by bolts or welding. The outer end of the guide seat 4 passes through the side beam 11 of the cargo platform 1.

[0022] A sliding support seat 5 is slidably mounted inside the guide seat 4. The sliding support seat 5 is also made of steel rectangular tubing and has high structural strength. A position control structure is also installed between the sliding support seat 5 and the guide seat 4. The position control structure includes a stop pin 7 mounted on the sliding support seat 5. The stop pin 7 is connected to an operating handle 8. A positioning hole 10 is machined inside the guide seat 4 to mate with the stop pin 7. When the stop pin 7 is inserted into the positioning hole 10, the relative position of the sliding support seat 5 and the guide seat 4 is fixed. Specifically, the operating handle 8 is mounted inside the sliding support seat 5, and a connecting hole 13 is machined at the inner end of the operating handle 8. The operating handle 8 is fixedly connected to the sliding support seat 5 by fastening bolt 6. A stop pin 7 is installed in the mounting hole 12 on the operating handle 8. In this embodiment, the stop pin 7 is selected as a bolt for easy material selection. A guide hole that matches the stop pin 7 is machined on the lower wall of the sliding support seat 5. The operating handle 8 is selected as an elastic plate, which can be a steel plate with a thickness of 5mm. The outer end of the operating handle 8 extends to the outer end of the sliding support seat 5 and is bent into an operating plate 14. Pushing the operating plate 14 upward can drive the stop pin 7 to move upward, thereby causing the stop pin 7 to disengage from the guide seat 4, and the sliding support seat 5 can slide along the guide seat 4.

[0023] The support structure is detachably installed on the sliding support seat 5. Specifically, there are multiple guide seats 4 on any side of the platform 1. The distance between two adjacent guide seats 4 is 100-200mm. The support structure includes a support plate 3, which can be a wooden board or a steel template. A support plate 3 is placed between two adjacent sliding support seats 5. The end of the support plate 3 can be positioned with the sliding support seat 5 by a pin. The lower end of the support plate 3 is supported by the sliding support seat 5. A baffle 9 that cooperates with the support plate 3 is fixed to the outer end of the sliding support seat 5. The lower end of the baffle 9 extends to the opening of the sliding support seat 5, thus forming a push-pull plate, which facilitates the operation of the sliding support seat 5 to slide along the guide seat 4.

[0024] The device for adjusting the width of the semi-trailer cargo platform provided in this embodiment can widen the cargo platform 1 as needed to meet the cargo carrying requirements. The width should be set according to different vehicle models to meet safety requirements.

[0025] Under normal conditions, the sliding support 5 retracts into the guide seat 4, the baffle 9 approaches the side beam 11, and the stop pin 7 moves with the sliding support 5 to the inner end of the guide seat 4, thereby restricting the sliding support 5 from moving outward.

[0026] In the widened state, the sliding support seat 5 extends outward, and the stop pin 7 moves with the sliding support seat 5 to the positioning hole 10. Under the elastic force of the operating handle 8, it is inserted into the positioning hole 10, so that the sliding support seat 5 and the guide seat 4 are fixed in position. The support plate 3 is placed to obtain the widened platform 1.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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.
