[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a kind of side door 72 locking structure of the side tipping self-unloading semi-trailer, including pull rod 1, lock plate 2, first pivot 31 being arranged at the bottom of lower side beam 71 of carriage 7, and second pivot 32 being arranged on vehicle beam 8, second pivot 32 is located behind first pivot 31, the middle part of lock plate 2 is rotatably connected around first pivot 31, the rear end portion of pull rod 1 is provided with elongated hole 11, second pivot 32 passes through elongated hole 11 and is connected with pull rod 1, the rear end portion of pull rod 1 is provided with third pivot 33 and the rear end portion of lock plate 2 is rotatably connected around third pivot 33, the front half 21 of lock plate 2 is used to block side door 72 to open outward, the bottom of carriage 7 is also provided with top pin 4 for pressing down pull rod 1 to drive the front half 21 of lock plate 2 to block side door 72 to open outward.
[0023] In loading and transportation phase, carriage 7 is in flat state, top pin 4 exerts pressure downward to pull rod 1, so that pull rod 1 generates downward swing movement trend with second pivot 32 being connected with vehicle beam 8 as fulcrum, not only make lock plate 2 rotate around first pivot 31, lock plate 2 front half 21 rotates to the position of blocking side door 72, or presses on side door 72, side door 72 cannot open outward to realize the locking of side door 72, guarantee the safety of goods in transportation.
[0024] When entering the unloading link, the carriage 7 begins to gradually roll over, the inclination angle continues to increase, and the top pin 4 moves away from the pull rod 1. During this process, the first pivot 31 swings backward with the rolling over of the carriage 7, the pull rod 1 retreats synchronously under the drive of the lock plate 2 and the third pivot 33, the second pivot 32 slides in the elongated hole 11, the lock plate 2 also reversely rotates around the first pivot 31, and then the front half 21 of the lock plate 2 leaves the position of blocking the side door 72, at this time, the side door 72 can swing around the pivot connection point with the upper side beam of the carriage 7 to be smoothly opened, and the goods automatically flow out from the side door 72 by gravity to complete unloading.
[0025] After unloading, the carriage 7 is reset, and the side door 72 and the lock plate 2 are also automatically reset and closed, the lock plate 2 restricts the opening of the side door 72 again, so that the vehicle can directly drive away, improving the work efficiency.
[0026] The side door 72 locking structure of the side roll self-unloading semitrailer provided by the utility model has the advantages of simple structure, light self-weight, long service life, reduced maintenance cost, ingenious use of the rolling over power of the carriage 7 to synchronously drive the lock plate 2 to swing and lock or separate from the side door 72, no manual operation, greatly improved reliability and stability of the side door 72 locking, ensured safety during the whole transportation, automatically realized unlocking of the side door 72, more smooth and efficient operation, and further improved unloading efficiency.
[0027] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , the top pin 4 comprises a bolt 41 arranged upward, a cylinder 42 transversely welded at the bottom of the bolt 41, and the carriage 7 is fixedly provided with a nut 43 threadedly connected with the bolt 41. The top pin 4 adopts the threaded connection design of the bolt 41 and the nut 43, and the extension height of the cylinder 42 can be accurately adjusted by rotating the bolt 41. This adjustment function can adapt to the required locking force under different goods weights or compensate for the slight deformation of the side door 72 due to long-term use, so as to ensure the locking reliability. In addition, compared with the traditional single-point contact structure, the cylinder 42 bottom surface and the pull rod 1 top surface form a first contact, the contact area is larger, the downward pressure of the top pin 4 can be uniformly transmitted to the pull rod 1, the local stress concentration leading to component fatigue damage is avoided, and the overall structure service life is prolonged.
[0028] Further, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the bottom of the lower side beam 71 of the carriage 7 is provided with a flat plate 51, two first ear plates 52 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the flat plate 51, and a first mounting hole is formed in the first ear plate 52. The arrangement of the flat plate 51 enhances the structural strength of the bottom of the lower side beam 71 of the carriage 7 and provides a stable installation basis for the first pivot 31. The two symmetrically arranged first ear plates 52 further disperse the stress, avoid the stress concentration problem caused by single-point stress, improve the overall stability and carrying capacity of the locking structure, and especially when the side door 72 bears a larger pressure, the deformation or damage can be effectively prevented.
[0029] When the first pivot 31 is installed, the first pivot 31 passes through the two first mounting holes and is fixed by the split pin 62. This installation method is simple and reliable, facilitating on-site installation and disassembly. The use of the split pin 62 not only ensures the firmness of the first pivot 31, but also facilitates later maintenance and replacement, reducing maintenance costs.
[0030] The vehicle girder 8 is provided with two symmetrically arranged second ear plates 61, and the second ear plates 61 are provided with second mounting holes. The two symmetrically arranged second ear plates 61 provide a stable installation basis for the second pivot 32, dispersing the stress transmitted by the pull rod 1 and improving the overall stability of the locking structure. This design can effectively avoid deformation or damage caused by single-point stress, ensuring the reliability of the locking structure in long-term use.
[0031] When the second pivot 32 is installed, the second pivot 32 passes through the two second mounting holes and is fixed by the split pin 62. This installation method is simple and reliable, facilitating on-site installation and disassembly. The use of the split pin 62 not only ensures the firmness of the second pivot 32, but also facilitates later maintenance and replacement, reducing maintenance costs.
[0032] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the pull rod 1 includes a long rod body 12 and two symmetrically arranged short plates 13 on the front end of the long rod body 12, and the long rod body 12 and the short plates 13 are connected by welding. The short plates 13 are provided with third mounting holes, and the third pivot 33 passes through the two third mounting holes and is fixed by the split pin 62. The two symmetrically arranged short plates 13 make the stress of the third pivot 33 more uniform, avoiding the problem of stress concentration caused by single-point stress, thereby prolonging the service life of the pull rod 1 and the locking structure and reducing failures caused by local wear or damage. The symmetrically arranged short plates 13 can effectively absorb and disperse the vibrations generated during vehicle driving, reducing the impact on the third pivot 33 and the pull rod 1, improving the anti-vibration performance of the locking structure, and ensuring stable operation in complex road conditions.
[0033] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the lock plate 2 includes an L-shaped front half 21 and an arc-shaped rear half 22. By such arrangement, the L-shaped front half 21 design can better fit the shape of the side door 72, providing a larger contact area, thereby more effectively blocking the side door 72 from opening outward, ensuring that the side door 72 will not accidentally open during unloading, improving safety and reliability. The arc-shaped rear half 22 design makes the lock plate 2 rotate more smoothly, reducing the possibility of friction and jamming, improving the operation flexibility and response speed of the locking structure, especially in frequent operation.
[0034] The reinforcing ribs are further formed on the lock plate 2, which enhances the overall structural strength of the lock plate 2, so that the lock plate 2 can bear greater pressure and impact, especially in high-load working conditions, effectively avoiding the risk of deformation or fracture of the lock plate 2.
[0035] The long hole 11 refers to a non-circular hole, which can be a rectangular hole, a waist-shaped hole, a rounded rectangular hole, etc.
