[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a telescopic boom to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where the existing telescopic boom has a high coefficient of friction during extension and retraction, which leads to a shortened service life.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A telescopic boom includes a hollow support arm. An installation groove is provided on the left side of the hollow support arm. A hydraulic cylinder is installed at the right end of the hollow support arm. Support blocks are sleeved on both ends of the hydraulic cylinder. A telescopic arm is connected to the left end of the hydraulic cylinder. An installation block is connected to the left end of the telescopic arm. A ball bearing retainer is installed in the installation groove of the hollow support arm. Several balls are embedded in the inner wall of the ball bearing retainer. A self-lubricating coating is sprayed on the inner wall of the hollow support arm and the outer wall of the telescopic arm. The left end of the telescopic arm passes through the middle of the ball bearing retainer and the left end of the hollow support arm from right to left and extends outward.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, mounting holes are provided at all four corners of the mounting block.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the self-lubricating coating is a polytetrafluoroethylene coating.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the telescopic arm is in contact with the inner periphery of the ball retainer.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the ball retainer is in the shape of a rectangular ring.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention utilizes a self-lubricating coating applied to the inner wall of the hollow support arm and the outer wall of the telescopic arm, along with a ball retainer and several balls. By leveraging the interaction between these components, the friction coefficient of the telescopic arm during extension and retraction can be significantly reduced, thereby extending its service life.

[0021] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5A telescopic boom includes a hollow support arm 1. An installation groove 7 is provided on the left side of the hollow support arm 1. A hydraulic cylinder 8 is installed at the right end of the hollow support arm 1. Support blocks 9 are sleeved on both ends of the hydraulic cylinder 8. A telescopic arm 2 is connected to the left end of the hydraulic cylinder 8. An installation block 3 is connected to the left end of the telescopic arm 2. A ball retainer 5 is installed in the installation groove 7 of the hollow support arm 1. Several balls 6 are embedded in the inner wall of the ball retainer 5. A self-lubricating coating 10 is sprayed on the inner wall of the hollow support arm 1 and the outer wall of the telescopic arm 2. The left end of the telescopic arm 2 passes through the middle of the ball retainer 5 and the left end of the hollow support arm 1 from right to left and extends outward. By spraying the self-lubricating coating 10 on the inner wall of the hollow support arm 1 and the outer wall of the telescopic arm 2, and by setting the ball retainer 5 and several balls 6, the friction coefficient of the telescopic arm 2 during extension and retraction can be greatly reduced, thereby extending its service life.
[0023] Mounting holes 4 are provided at all four corners of the mounting block 3.
[0024] The self-lubricating coating 10 is a polytetrafluoroethylene coating.
[0025] The four sides of the support block 9 are connected to the four sides of the inner side of the hollow support arm 1.
[0026] The telescopic arm 2 is in contact with the inner periphery of the ball bearing retainer 5 and the ball bearings 6.
[0027] The ball cage 5 is rectangular in shape.
[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, when working, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is activated to drive the telescopic arm 2 to move to the left. Since the telescopic arm 2 is in contact with the inner periphery of the ball bearing retainer 5, the ball bearings 6 rotate as the telescopic arm 2 moves. The rotating ball bearings 6 can reduce the coefficient of friction when the telescopic arm 2 moves. At the same time, a self-lubricating coating 10 is sprayed on the inner wall of the hollow support arm 1 and the outer wall of the telescopic arm 2. The self-lubricating coating 10 is a polytetrafluoroethylene coating. The polytetrafluoroethylene coating can further reduce the coefficient of friction when the telescopic arm 2 moves, thereby extending its service life. The contents not described in detail in this description belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
