AI Technical Summary
In existing construction machinery, the folding boom of the four-bar linkage occupies a large lateral space and is prone to interference.
The design employs a folding boom with a single connecting rod located inside the turntable. The boom angle can be adjusted through the cooperation of a primary tilt cylinder and a secondary tilt cylinder, reducing the number of connecting rods and optimizing the layout.
This results in a more compact structure, reduced lateral space occupation, avoidance of interference risks, and improved space utilization efficiency.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, and in particular to a folding boom. Background Technology
[0002] In construction machinery, a four-bar linkage can be used to achieve large-angle swing of the robotic arm, shorten the length of the robotic arm when it is retracted, and increase the working height of the boom, which is the form of a folding arm.

It has two links one and two links two, which are arranged on the outside of the turntable and the first-stage folding arm. As shown in the figure, the linkage mechanism occupies a large lateral space, and interference problems are more likely to occur when a four-bar linkage mechanism is used. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a folding boom with a more compact structural layout, less lateral space occupation, and avoids the interference risk caused by the use of a four-bar linkage mechanism, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objective, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A folding boom includes a slewing bearing. A turntable is fixed to the top of the slewing bearing. A primary pitch arm and a first connecting rod are hinged to the turntable. A second connecting rod is hinged to the primary pitch arm near the turntable. A primary pitch cylinder is hinged to the ends of the first and second connecting rods. The lever end of the primary pitch cylinder is hinged to the primary pitch arm. A telescopic boom assembly is hinged to the end of the primary pitch arm. The telescopic boom assembly is connected to the primary pitch arm via a secondary pitch cylinder. The ends of the secondary pitch cylinder are hinged to both the telescopic boom assembly and the primary pitch arm.
[0007] Furthermore, the turntable is fixed to the outer ring of the slewing bearing by bolts.
[0008] Furthermore, there is one connecting rod and one connecting rod, both of which are located on the inner side of the turntable, and the connecting rod is an arc-shaped rod.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This folding boom has the following advantages: the number of its first link and second link is one, and both the first link and second link are set inside the turntable. The width of its first-stage folding arm is reduced and it is placed inside the turntable. The first-stage pitch cylinder is correspondingly retracted to the middle, the structural layout is more compact, the lateral space occupied is small, and the interference risk caused by using a four-bar linkage mechanism is avoided.

[0015] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.
[0016] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a folding boom, including a slewing bearing 9, a turntable 10 fixed to the top of the slewing bearing 9, a primary elevation arm 13 and a connecting rod 11 hinged to the turntable 10, a connecting rod 12 hinged to the primary elevation arm 13 near the turntable 10, a primary elevation cylinder 14 hinged to the ends of the connecting rod 11 and the connecting rod 12, the lever end of the primary elevation cylinder 14 hinged to the primary elevation arm 13, a telescopic arm assembly 16 hinged to the end of the primary elevation arm 13, the telescopic arm assembly 16 and the primary elevation arm 13 connected by a secondary elevation cylinder 15, the end of the secondary elevation cylinder 15 hinged to both the telescopic arm assembly 16 and the primary elevation arm 13. The cylinder rod end of the first-stage pitch cylinder 14 drives the first-stage pitch arm 13 to move, thereby adjusting the working angle of the first-stage pitch arm 13. The cylinder rod end of the second-stage pitch cylinder 15 drives the telescopic arm assembly 16 to move, thereby adjusting the working angle of the telescopic arm assembly 16. The turntable 10 is fixed to the outer ring of the slewing bearing 9 by bolts. There is one connecting rod 11 and one connecting rod 12. Both connecting rod 11 and connecting rod 12 are located inside the turntable 10. Connecting rod 12 is an arc-shaped rod. Its first-stage pitch arm 13 has a reduced width and is located inside the turntable 10. The first-stage pitch cylinder 14 is correspondingly retracted towards the middle. Its structural layout is more compact and occupies less lateral space, avoiding the interference risk caused by using a four-bar linkage mechanism.
[0017] The working principle of the folding boom provided by this utility model is as follows: the cylinder rod end of the first-stage tilt cylinder 14 drives the first-stage tilt arm 13 to move, thereby adjusting the working angle of the first-stage tilt arm 13; the cylinder rod end of the second-stage tilt cylinder 15 drives the telescopic arm assembly 16 to move, thereby adjusting the working angle of the telescopic arm assembly 16.
[0018] It is worth noting that the components disclosed in the above embodiments are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
