Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of boom sprayers, specifically to a boom sprayer rotary joint. Background Technology

[0002] A boom sprayer is a motorized sprayer with nozzles mounted on horizontal or vertical booms. It is widely used for field crops, lawns, nurseries, walled vineyards, and specific applications such as airport and road snow removal, and roadside weeding. It efficiently and evenly sprays liquid pesticides, fertilizers, and plant growth regulators, resulting in high operational efficiency, good spray quality, and uniform liquid distribution. With the adjustment of agricultural planting structures, the increase in scale, and the rapid growth in the market share of large and medium-sized tractors, boom sprayer technology is playing an increasingly important role.

[0003] Existing rotary joints are simply hinged connections. While this structure can enable the spray bar to rotate, it suffers from insufficient stability, poor load-bearing capacity, and susceptibility to breakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems of existing rotary joints which are simply hinged, although such structures can achieve the rotation of the spray boom, they have insufficient stability, poor load-bearing capacity and are prone to breakage, this utility model provides a rotary joint for a spray boom sprayer.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a boom sprayer rotary joint, comprising: a fixed boom, the fixed boom being fixed to a work vehicle, a U-shaped plate 1 connected to the end of the fixed boom, a U-shaped plate 2 fastened to the outside of the U-shaped plate 1, the upper parts of the U-shaped plate 1 and the U-shaped plate 2 being hinged together, the U-shaped plate 2 being connected to the rotating boom through a reinforcing square tube, a lug 1 connected to the upper surface of the fixed boom, a lug 2 connected to the reinforcing square tube, and two ends of a hydraulic cylinder hinged between the lug 1 and the lug 2.

[0006] Preferably, both ends of the fixed spray bar are connected to U-shaped plates. The width of the U-shaped plates is greater than the width of the fixed spray bar. Two adjacent inner walls of the U-shaped plates are connected to the fixed spray bar. The remaining inner wall of the U-shaped plates is connected to the fixed spray bar through a reinforcing rib. A rotating spray bar is connected to the U-shaped plates behind the reinforcing rib. The two rotating spray bars are folded in an X-shaped cross arrangement.

[0007] Preferably, a baffle is connected to the U-shaped plate to enhance the contact between the square tube and the baffle when the tube is in a horizontal state.

[0008] Preferably, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the support lug via a protection mechanism. The protection mechanism includes a hinged rotating lug, which is hinged to the support lug. The hinged rotating lug is connected to a slide rod, which is slidably connected inside a sleeve. The sleeve is connected to the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder, and a spring is sleeved on the slide rod, with the spring in a compressed state.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] The combination of U-shaped plate one and U-shaped plate two strengthens the joint between the fixed spray bar and the rotating spray bar, limiting the swaying of the rotating spray bar in the front and back directions. The reinforced square tube strengthens the hydraulic cylinder's point of action, preventing twisting and breakage at the folding stress point, thus greatly improving the service life of the spray bar.

[0011] When the rotating spray bar encounters an obstacle below, the rotating spray bar can retract through the protection mechanism to rotate the spray bar upwards to avoid the obstacle, thus avoiding the bending of the spray bar caused by the rigid connection of existing technology.

[0015] 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.

[0016] The rotary connection described in this device refers to the axial fixation of the bearing by mounting the bearing on the shaft, with a spring retaining ring groove provided on the shaft or shaft hole, and the rotation achieved by locking the elastic retaining ring in the retaining ring groove; the hinge connection refers to the connection method that allows movement through connecting parts such as hinges, pins, and short shafts.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2This embodiment describes a rotating joint for a boom sprayer, comprising: a fixed boom 1, which is fixed to a work vehicle; a U-shaped plate 2 connected to the end of the fixed boom 1; a U-shaped plate 3 fastened to the outside of the U-shaped plate 2; the upper parts of the U-shaped plate 1 and the U-shaped plate 2 are hinged together; the U-shaped plate 2 is connected to the rotating boom 5 via a reinforcing square tube 4; a support lug 6 is connected to the upper surface of the fixed boom 1; a support lug 7 is connected to the reinforcing square tube 4; and the two ends of a hydraulic cylinder 8 are hinged between the support lug 1 and the support lug 2.

[0019] When the rotating spray bar 5 is in working condition, the U-shaped plate 2 3 is completely fastened to the outside of the U-shaped plate 1 2, which strengthens the joint between the fixed spray bar 1 and the rotating spray bar 5 and limits the swaying of the rotating spray bar 5 in the front and back directions. When folding, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is controlled to retract. The hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the rotating spray bar 5 to fold through the reinforcing square tube 4 and the second support lug 7. The reinforcing square tube 4 strengthens the strength of the action point of the hydraulic cylinder 8, avoiding twisting and breakage at the folding stress point, and greatly improving the service life of the spray bar.

[0020] Both ends of the fixed spray bar 1 are connected to U-shaped plates 2. The width of U-shaped plates 2 is greater than the width of the fixed spray bar 1. Two adjacent inner walls of U-shaped plates 2 are connected to the fixed spray bar 1. The remaining inner wall of U-shaped plates 2 is connected to the fixed spray bar 1 through reinforcing ribs 10. Rotating spray bars 5 are connected to the U-shaped plates 2 behind the reinforcing ribs 10. The two rotating spray bars 5 are arranged in an X-shaped cross configuration when folded.

[0021] By installing the U-shaped plates 2 at both ends of the fixed spray bar 1 in different positions, the positions of the rotating spray bars 5 on both sides are staggered, and the folded state is an X-shaped cross arrangement, which takes up less space during transportation and makes the structure more stable.

[0022] A baffle 11 is connected to the U-shaped plate 2, and the reinforced square tube 4 is in contact with the baffle 11 when it is in a horizontal state.

[0023] Baffle 11 restricts the corner of reinforced square tube 4 to prevent vibration, collision and wear between U-shaped plate 2 3 and U-shaped plate 1 2.

[0024] The extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 is hinged to the second support lug 7 via a protection mechanism 9. The protection mechanism 9 includes a hinged rotating lug 91, which is hinged to the second support lug 7. The hinged rotating lug 91 is connected to a slide rod 92, which is slidably connected inside a sleeve 93. The sleeve 93 is connected to the extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 8. A spring 94 is sleeved on the slide rod 92, and the spring 94 is in a compressed state.

[0025] When the rotating spray bar 5 encounters an obstacle below, the rotating spray bar 5 can drive the slide bar 92 to slide into the sleeve 93 through the reinforcing square tube 4 and the second support lug 7, and the rotating spray bar 5 rotates upward to avoid the obstacle. Then, under the action of gravity and spring 94, it resets, avoiding the bending of the spray bar caused by the rigid connection of the existing technology.
