[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sewage suction truck technology, specifically to a rear door locking mechanism for a sewage suction truck. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, the rear door of a typical vacuum truck is usually locked manually, and for ease of operation by workers, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rear door locking point P is usually installed in the lower part of the tank body 10 of the sewage suction truck. The rear door locking mechanism formed by this structure usually has the following problems: (1) there are few rear door locking points and they are unevenly distributed, resulting in poor rear door sealing effect; (2) the working efficiency is low when the rear door is locked and opened. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rear door locking mechanism for a sewage suction truck with good rear door sealing effect and high efficiency in locking and opening the rear door.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A locking mechanism for the rear door of a vacuum truck includes several locking seats, several guide tubes, several bolts, several rocker arms, a turntable, and a hydraulic cylinder. The locking seats are evenly distributed in a ring on the outer peripheral wall of the vacuum truck tank near the rear door. The guide tubes are evenly distributed in a ring on the outer peripheral wall of the rear door and correspond one-to-one with the locking seats. The bolts slide through the guide tubes. The rocker arms are evenly distributed in a ring on the outer periphery of the turntable, with one end of each rocker arm hinged to a bolt and the other end hinged to the turntable. The turntable is rotatably positioned on the side of the rear door away from the vacuum truck tank. One end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the rear door and the other end is hinged to the turntable.

[0006] When the cylinder extends, it pushes the turntable to rotate counterclockwise. The bolt moves towards the turntable under the action of the turntable and the swing arm, and separates from the locking seat. At this time, the rear door of the vacuum truck can be opened.

[0007] When the hydraulic cylinder shortens, it pushes the turntable to rotate clockwise. The bolt moves away from the turntable under the action of the turntable and the swing arm, and is fastened to the locking seat. At this time, the rear door of the vacuum truck can be locked.

[0008] Furthermore, the turntable is rotatably mounted on the rear door of the vacuum truck via a turntable shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the turntable shaft is fixedly mounted on the rear door of the vacuum truck, and the turntable is rotatably mounted on the turntable shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the hydraulic cylinder furthest from the turntable is hinged to the rear door of the vacuum truck via a cylinder seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the cylinder seat is fixedly mounted on the rear door of the vacuum truck, and the end of the cylinder away from the turntable is hinged to the cylinder seat.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of each guide tube is fixedly installed on the inner side of the outer peripheral wall of the rear door of the vacuum truck and corresponds to a locking fixing seat, while the other end is close to the turntable.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned plugs has one end hinged to a corresponding rocker arm, and the other end slides through the guide tube, extending out of the guide tube and bolted to the corresponding locking seat when the cylinder shortens, and retracting into the guide tube and separating from the corresponding locking seat when the cylinder extends.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] (1) The rear door has multiple locking points that are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the rear door, which makes the sealing effect good when the rear door is closed;

[0016] (2) The hydraulic cylinder extension and retraction motion replaces the manual operation of the rear door locking point, which greatly improves the working efficiency of locking and opening the rear door. Attached Figure Description

[0036] See Figures 3 to 12 The diagram shows an embodiment of a locking mechanism for the rear door of a vacuum truck provided by this utility model. It includes several locking seats 1, several guide tubes 2, several bolts 3, several rocker arms 4, a turntable 5, and a hydraulic cylinder 7. The locking seats 1 are evenly distributed in a ring on the outer peripheral wall of the vacuum truck tank 10 near the rear door 9. The guide tubes 2 are evenly distributed in a ring on the outer peripheral wall of the rear door 9 and correspond one-to-one with the locking seats 1. The bolts 3 slide through the guide tubes 2 for bolting into the locking seats 1. The rocker arms 4 are evenly distributed in a ring on the outer periphery of the turntable 5, with one end of each rocker arm 4 hinged to a bolt 3 and the other end hinged to the turntable 5. The turntable 5 is rotatably positioned on the side of the rear door 9 away from the vacuum truck tank 10. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 7 is hinged to the rear door 9 and the other end is hinged to the turntable 5.

[0037] Specifically, when the hydraulic cylinder 7 extends, it pushes the turntable 5 to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, the bolt 3 moves towards the turntable 5 under the action of the turntable 5 and the swing rod 4, thus separating from the locking seat 1. At this time, the rear door 9 of the vacuum truck will be loosely connected to the vacuum truck tank 10, and then the rear door 9 of the vacuum truck can be opened by the rear door opening cylinder (not shown in the figure). When the hydraulic cylinder 7 shortens, it pushes the turntable 5 to rotate clockwise. At the same time, the bolt 3 moves away from the turntable 5 under the action of the turntable 5 and the swing rod 4, thus fastening to the locking seat 1. At this time, the rear door 9 of the vacuum truck will be locked to the vacuum truck tank 10 by bolting the bolt 3 to the locking seat 1.

[0038] Specifically, in some embodiments, the turntable 5 is rotatably mounted on the rear door 9 of the vacuum truck via a turntable shaft 6. More specifically, the turntable shaft 6 is fixedly mounted (e.g., welded) on the rear door 9 of the vacuum truck, and the turntable 5 is rotatably sleeved on the turntable shaft 6. In use, the turntable 5 achieves rotatable connection with the rear door 9 of the vacuum truck through rotational engagement with the turntable shaft 6.

[0039] Specifically, in some embodiments, the end of the hydraulic cylinder 7 furthest from the turntable 5 is hinged to the rear door 9 of the vacuum truck via a cylinder seat 8. More specifically, the cylinder seat 8 is fixedly mounted (e.g., welded) to the rear door 9 of the vacuum truck, and the end of the hydraulic cylinder 7 furthest from the turntable 5 is hinged to the cylinder seat 8.

[0040] Specifically, in some embodiments, one end of each guide tube 2 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the outer peripheral wall of the rear door 9 of the vacuum truck and corresponds to a locking seat 1, while the other end is close to the turntable 5.

[0041] Specifically, in some embodiments, one end of each plug 3 is hinged to a rocker arm 4, and the other end slides through the guide tube 2. When the cylinder 7 shortens, the plug extends out of the guide tube 2 and is bolted to the corresponding locking seat 1. When the cylinder 7 extends, the plug retracts into the guide tube 2 and separates from the corresponding locking seat 1.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
