[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a hook arm truck rear support wheel folding device based on dual hydraulic cylinder drive, comprising a first part and a second part, wherein the first part is located at the top of the second part;

[0025] Part 1: The longitudinal beam 1 and the frame 2 are fixedly connected by U-bolts. A fixing frame 3 is welded to one end of the longitudinal beam 1. A symmetrically arranged upper bracket 4 is welded to one side of the fixing frame 3. A baffle 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the frame 2 on the left side of the fixing frame 3 by bolts. A frame vertical support 7 is welded to the bottom of the frame 2. The baffle 6, the frame vertical support 7 and the rotating support 8 are welded together to fix the left and right parts. A symmetrically distributed rotating bracket 9 is welded to one end of the rotating support 8.

[0026] Part Two: The inner side of the rotating support 9 is rotatably connected to a lower support vertical brace 12. A lower support 10 is welded between the two lower support vertical braces 12 directly below the rotating support 8. A symmetrically arranged lower support 11 is welded to the side of the lower support 10 near the upper support 4. A positioning sleeve 13 is welded to the bottom inner side of the lower support vertical brace 12. A positioning steel pipe 14 is bolted between the two positioning sleeves 13. A support wheel 15 is bolted to the outside of the positioning steel pipe 14. The positioning steel pipe 14 is used to install the support wheel 15. The support wheel 15 is used to contact the ground to provide support. A hydraulic cylinder 16 is installed between the upper support 4 and the lower support 11. The hydraulic cylinder 16 is used to drive the lower support vertical brace 12 to deflect. The hydraulic cylinder 16 is rotatably connected to the upper support 4, the lower support 11, and the rotating support 9 and the lower support vertical brace 12 through a pin 5.

[0027] Specifically, since the hydraulic cylinder 16 is hinged to the fixed frame 3 and the lower support 10, when the hydraulic cylinder 16 is working and extending, it pushes the lower support 10, the lower support vertical support 12 and the support wheel 15 to deflect and open, thereby preventing accidents. When the hydraulic cylinder 16 is working and retracting, it pulls the lower support 10, the lower support vertical support 12 and the support wheel 15 to deflect and retract, preventing accidents caused by collisions with the ground during driving.

[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, when the hydraulic cylinder 16 extends or retracts, it pushes the support wheel 15 arm to rotate around the hinge point of the frame 2, thereby enabling the support wheel 15 to switch between the vertical working position and the horizontal storage position.

[0029] The hydraulic cylinder 16 has a built-in hydraulic lock to ensure stepless locking in the supported state.

[0030] The extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 16 are achieved by manually controlling the valve body or remote control. When the hooklift truck needs to hook the box, the hydraulic cylinder 16 is activated and extended. When the hydraulic cylinder 16 is extended, the second part will rotate downward along the rotating support 8 of the first part, so that the support wheel 15 contacts the ground. The support wheel 15 provides support to prevent accidents. When it is not needed, the hydraulic cylinder 16 is activated and retracted to prevent collisions with the ground during driving.

[0031] Electrical equipment (including but not limited to motors, electric actuators, etc.) is safely powered by an external power source and controlled by a control box. Any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
