Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an induction-type automatic tarpaulin covering device for trucks, including a truck body 1. A pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the truck body 1. An auxiliary mechanism 2 is provided on the surface of the truck body 1. The auxiliary mechanism 2 includes a motor 201 fixedly installed on the side wall of the truck body 1. A threaded rod 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201. A connecting sleeve 203 is threadedly connected to the arc surface of the threaded rod 202. A first fixing frame 204 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting sleeve 203. A second fixing frame 205 is fixedly connected to both sides of the truck body 1. A tarpaulin body 2051 is fixedly connected to the side of the second fixing frame 205 and the first fixing frame 204 that are close to each other.

[0024] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the motor 201. When the weight reaches a certain value, the pressure sensor transmits an electrical signal to the controller to control the motor 201 to start.

[0025] In an optional embodiment: a limiting rod 206 is fixedly connected to the side of the carriage body 1 away from the motor 201, and one end of the limiting rod 206 slides through the first fixing frame 204.

[0026] It should be noted that when the first fixed frame 204 moves, it will slide along the arc surface of the limiting rod 206, which will restrict the movement direction of the first fixed frame 204.

[0027] In an optional embodiment: a support plate 208 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first fixing frame 204, and a support frame 207 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second fixing frame 205.

[0028] It should be noted that when storing the tarpaulin body 2051, as the first fixing frame 204 moves closer to the second fixing frame 205, the tarpaulin body 2051 will become loose and will collapse downwards. The support frame 207 and the support plate 208 play a supporting role for the tarpaulin body 2051, and the support plate 208 can slide into the support frame 207.

[0029] In an optional embodiment: a cylinder 209 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the first fixing frame 204, and a round tube 210 is fixedly connected to the end of the cylinder 209 away from the first fixing frame 204. A storage bottle 211 is engaged with the inner wall of the round tube 210, and a conduit 212 is connected to one end of the storage bottle 211. The end of the conduit 212 away from the storage bottle 211 is connected to the connecting sleeve 203.

[0030] It should be noted that storage bottle 211 contains an appropriate amount of lubricating fluid.

[0031] In an alternative embodiment: the end of the storage bottle 211 near the conduit 212 is tilted away from the threaded rod 202.

[0032] It should be noted that in this state, the lubricant inside the storage bottle 211 will not flow out. The lubricant will only flow out when the end of the storage bottle 211 near the conduit 212 is tilted downwards.

[0033] In an optional embodiment: a torsion spring 213 is fitted on the arc surface of the cylinder 209, and the two ends of the torsion spring 213 are fixedly connected to the first fixing frame 204 and the cylinder 209, respectively.

[0034] It should be noted that the torsion spring 213 serves to stabilize the angle of the storage bottle 211.

[0035] In an optional embodiment: an elliptical plate 214 is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the cylinder 209, and a fixing plate 215 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the carriage body 1, with the fixing plate 215 located on one side of the elliptical plate 214.

[0036] It should be noted that as the first fixed frame 204 moves, the elliptical plate 214 will come into contact with the fixed plate 215. At this time, the elliptical plate 214 will rotate, the torsion spring 213 will twist, and the end of the storage bottle 211 near the conduit 212 will tilt downward. The lubricant inside the storage bottle 211 will flow into the conduit 212 and enter the connecting sleeve 203. The lubricant inside the connecting sleeve 203 will lubricate the threaded rod 202, making the connecting sleeve 203 easier to move.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the staff loads goods into the carriage body 1. The pressure sensor at the bottom of the carriage body 1 monitors the weight change in real time. When the weight reaches the preset value, it controls the motor 201 to start, driving the threaded rod 202 to rotate. The threaded rod 202, driven by the thread, moves the first fixing frame 204. The tarpaulin body 2051 then extends as the first fixing frame 204 moves. As the first fixing frame 204 moves, the elliptical plate 214 contacts the fixing plate 215, at which point the elliptical plate 214 rotates. When the torsion spring 213 twists, the end of the storage bottle 211 near the conduit 212 will tilt downwards, and the lubricant inside the storage bottle 211 will flow into the conduit 212 and into the connecting sleeve 203. As the first fixing frame 204 continues to move, after the elliptical plate 214 passes over the fixing plate 215, the torsion spring 213 rotates back, and the end of the storage bottle 211 near the conduit 212 will face upwards again, making it difficult for the lubricant inside the storage bottle 211 to flow out. The lubricant inside the connecting sleeve 203 lubricates the threaded rod 202, making the connecting sleeve 203 easier to move.
