AI Technical Summary
The existing grader's front wheel steering steel pipe occupies a large space, is prone to interference with other moving parts, and is prone to stress concentration on sharp turns or bumpy roads, leading to material fatigue and fracture.
By replacing traditional straight steel pipes with an arc-shaped pipe structure, and combining spherical connections and flexible pipe clamp design, stress dispersion and space optimization are achieved.
This reduces the space occupied by the steering steel pipe in the chassis, avoids interference with other systems, reduces the risk of stress concentration, and extends the service life of the steel pipe.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grader technology, specifically a front wheel synchronous steering steel pipe and its grader. Background Technology
[0002] Synchronous steering of the front wheels of a grader is crucial to ensuring that the equipment can accurately and smoothly change direction according to the operator's intentions. To achieve synchronous steering of the front wheels, a steering steel pipe is usually connected between the front wheels. This steel pipe transmits steering torque to coordinate the steering actions of both front wheels.
[0003] Currently, most graders use straight-line steering tubing between their front wheels. While this traditional design can meet basic steering requirements under certain conditions, it reveals the following drawbacks in actual use:
[0004] 1. Due to its fixed and relatively regular shape, it often occupies too much space on the chassis when installed on the grader chassis. In addition to the steering system, the grader chassis also houses several important components such as the power transmission system, suspension system, and braking system. Each moving part in these systems requires a certain amount of space to move during operation. The large area occupied by the straight steering steel pipe can easily interfere with other moving parts.
[0005] 2. When a grader makes sharp turns or travels on bumpy roads, the steering system is subjected to significant impact loads and dynamic stresses. This stress easily concentrates in the middle of the steel pipe or at fixed support points. Prolonged exposure to this high-stress environment will gradually cause fatigue in the steel pipe material. With extended use, microcracks within the material will continue to propagate, potentially leading to pipe breakage.
[0006] Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned defects has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the technical problems in the background art, this utility model discloses a front wheel synchronous steering steel pipe and its grader.
[0008] This utility model provides a front wheel synchronous steering steel pipe, including a pipe body, with each end of the pipe body connected to a front wheel, and the two ends of the pipe body are coaxial and straight end pipes;
[0009] An arc-shaped tube connects the end tubes;
[0010] The curved tube arches downwards;
[0011] The end tube is connected to the front wheel via a spherical structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the end of the end tube is threaded with a connector; the other end of the connector is snapped into a ball head and movably connected to the ball head.
[0013] Furthermore, the end tube has a slot; the slot extends axially into the end tube and penetrates the outer end of the end tube; a pipe clamp is connected to the position where the end tube has the slot, and the pipe clamp is used to fix it.
[0014] Furthermore, one end of the pipe clamp is open and fitted with an end pipe; the open end of the pipe clamp is connected by a bolt and locked in place by a nut that is threadedly connected to the bolt.
[0015] Furthermore, the end tube is provided with radially extending grooves; the bolt portion is engaged in the grooves.
[0016] This utility model also provides a grader, including a front wheel synchronous steering steel pipe.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By changing the middle section of the traditional straight steel pipe to a downward-curving arc-shaped pipe structure, this utility model effectively reduces the space occupied by the steering steel pipe on the chassis, avoids interference with moving parts such as the power transmission system and suspension system, and improves the rationality and reliability of the layout of each system. 2. The stress dispersion design of the arc-shaped pipe can alleviate the problem of dynamic stress concentration caused by sharp turns or bumpy road sections, avoid excessive stress concentration in the middle of the steel pipe or fixed support points, significantly reduce the risk of material fatigue, extend the service life of the steel pipe, and reduce the risk of fracture.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] like Figure 5-7 As shown, this utility model discloses a front wheel synchronous steering steel pipe, including a pipe body 1. The two ends of the pipe body 1 are coaxial and straight end pipes 11, and an arc-shaped pipe 12 is connected between the end pipes 11; the arc-shaped pipe 12 arches downward.
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the inner wall of the outer end of the end tube 11 is provided with axially extending internal threads. The connector 3, consisting of two parts forming a right angle, has one end threadedly connected to the end tube 11, and the other end snapped into the ball joint 4 mounted on the front wheel 2, realizing a universal connection between the tube body 1 and the front wheel 2. This configuration not only enables the two front wheels 2 to turn synchronously, but also allows the front wheels 2 to adapt to small angular deviations during turning, reducing wear caused by rigid connections, while ensuring accurate transmission of steering torque, improving the stability and operating precision of the grader's steering.
[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the end tube 11 has a slot 13; the slot 13 extends axially into the end tube 11 and passes through the outer end of the end tube 11; two pipe clamps 5 are connected at the position where the end tube 11 has the slot 13. One end of the pipe clamp 5 is open and fits onto the end tube 11; the open end of the pipe clamp 5 is connected by a bolt 6 and locked in place by a nut 7 threaded to the bolt 6. The slot 13 gives the end tube 11 a certain degree of elasticity and deformation capability; the setting of the pipe clamp 5 increases the pressure between the end tube 11 and the connector 3, thereby making the connection between the connector 3 and the end tube more secure.
[0032] Two radially extending slots 14 are provided on the end tube 11; the bolt 6 is partially engaged in the slots 14 to limit the bolt 6, thereby limiting the tube clamp 5, making its position more stable and less likely to fall off.
[0033] The advantages of this embodiment are: 1. By replacing the middle section of the traditional straight steel pipe with a downward-curving arc-shaped pipe 12, this utility model effectively reduces the space occupied by the steering steel pipe on the chassis, avoids interference with moving parts such as the power transmission system and suspension system, and improves the rationality and reliability of the layout of each system. 2. The stress dispersion design of the arc-shaped pipe 12 can alleviate the problem of dynamic stress concentration caused by sharp turns or bumpy road sections, avoid excessive stress concentration in the middle of the steel pipe or fixed support points, significantly reduce the risk of material fatigue, extend the service life of the steel pipe, and reduce the risk of fracture.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] This utility model also discloses a grader, including the front wheel synchronous steering steel pipe as in Embodiment 1. This configuration makes the grader operate more stably and extends its service life.

The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
