Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steering gear technology for engineering vehicles, and in particular to an angle-locking steering gear adjustment bracket for engineering vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Engineering vehicles refer to special vehicles specifically designed for the engineering construction field. They have specific functions and structures, serving various engineering scenarios such as roads, bridges, buildings, and water conservancy. They are diverse in type, covering excavators, loaders, bulldozers, road rollers, cranes, and concrete mixer trucks. These vehicles possess powerful performance, durable mechanical structures, and professional operating devices, enabling them to efficiently complete various complex tasks in engineering construction. They are indispensable and important equipment in the engineering construction process, playing a key role in improving engineering efficiency and ensuring project quality.

[0003] The steering gear of an engineering vehicle is the core component of its steering system. It primarily controls the vehicle's direction, ensuring that the vehicle steers or maintains a straight line according to the driver's input. Through mechanical or hydraulic transmission, it transmits the driver's force from the steering wheel to the steering wheels, enabling precise adjustment of the steering angle. Engineering vehicle steering gears are characterized by robust construction and high load-bearing capacity to meet the demands of engineering vehicles operating in complex road conditions and harsh environments with heavy loads. Their performance directly affects the vehicle's handling, safety, and operational efficiency. For example, in construction and mining transportation scenarios, a reliable steering gear ensures flexible vehicle steering, preventing accidents caused by steering failure, and ensuring the smooth operation of the engineering vehicle. For the smooth operation of the mission, engineering vehicles often operate in harsh environments, such as construction sites with heavy dust and mud. If the waterproof and dustproof performance of the adjustment frame is not good, dust and mud can easily enter the adjustment mechanism, accelerating the wear of parts, affecting the locking effect and adjustment flexibility, and reducing the reliability of the adjustment frame. In the existing technology, an integrated electric grease pump is used to periodically inject waterproof grease into the key parts of the adjustment mechanism through a timer or sensor trigger, forming an oil film to block contaminants and flush away residual dust inside. However, for engineering vehicles equipped with a height-adjustable cab, the fixed steering wheel angle will cause the operating plane to mismatch with the driver's position after the cab height changes, affecting the accuracy of operation.

The front side of the installation block 205 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 206. The middle part of the connecting block 206 and the top of the bearing plate 201 are provided with multiple threaded grooves 207 at equal intervals. The inner side of the threaded groove 207 is provided with a threaded rod 208. The threaded rod 208 can cooperate with the threaded groove 207 for fixation. The inner wall of the track 203 is slidably connected to the outer side of the sliding rod 204, and the inner wall of the threaded groove 207 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 208.

[0032] Specifically, during the angle adjustment of the adjusting disc 1, the support leg 202 supports the track 203, while the sliding rod 204 slides within the track 203, thereby moving the mounting block 205 and the connecting block 206. This precisely aligns the connecting block 206 with the threaded groove 207 on the support plate 201. Then, the threaded rod 208 is screwed in to secure it. If the angle needs to be readjusted, simply loosen the threaded rod 208, allowing the sliding rod 204 to adjust the position of the connecting block 206. Then, tighten the threaded rod 208 again to lock the adjusting disc 1 at the desired angle. The threaded rod 208 is positioned inside the threaded groove 207, engaging with it for fixation. The inner wall of the track 203 slides against the outer wall of the sliding rod 204, while the inner wall of the threaded groove 207 is threaded against the outer wall of the threaded rod 208.

A locking rod 306 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting groove 305. The locking rod 306 can cooperate with the connecting groove 305 to achieve locking. A toggle rod 307 is set in the lower right side of the outer wall of the connecting rod 301. A mounting groove 6 is set on the outer side of the adjusting plate 1. The inner side of the mounting groove 6 is rotatably connected to the middle of the toggle rod 307. The top of the spring 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bearing rod 304. The outer side of the bearing rod 304 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 301.

[0034] Specifically, during the lifting and lowering operation of the adjusting plate 1, the actuating lever 307 on the right side of the outer wall of the connecting rod 301 needs to be pulled to drive the locking lever 306 to slide outward from the connecting groove 305 between the bearing rod 304 and the connecting rod 301, thereby releasing the locking state between the two. The bearing rod 304 can be moved up or down to slide in the mounting groove 302 in the middle of the connecting rod 301. The spring 303 will be further compressed or stretched as the bearing rod 304 moves to provide the necessary support. Buffering and supporting force: When the bearing rod 304 moves to the required height, the actuating rod 307 should be released so that the locking rod 306 slides into the corresponding connecting groove 305, thereby achieving a stable fixation of the adjusting plate 1. The outer edge of the adjusting plate 1 is provided with a mounting groove 6. The inner side of the mounting groove 6 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the actuating rod 307. The top end of the spring 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the bearing rod 304, and the outer side of the bearing rod 304 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 301.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the adjustment plate 1 is equipped with a turntable 4, the top of the turntable 4 is equipped with a rotating rod 5, multiple buttons 7 are equidistantly arranged on the rear side of the top of the adjustment plate 1, and knobs 8 are provided on the left and right ends of the front side of the top of the adjustment plate 1 for better operation.
