Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of livestock equipment technology, specifically relating to an adjustment mechanism and a manure cleaning vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid advancement of intensive livestock farming, the frequency of manure removal operations in cattle farms has increased significantly. As a core piece of equipment for ensuring a clean farming environment, the structural design and operational efficiency of manure removal trucks directly determine farming costs and environmental sanitation. Currently, mainstream manure removal trucks on the market adopt a modular design concept where the lifting head and collection box are connected front and rear. The lifting head includes a lifting cylinder and a built-in vertical lifting auger, as well as a collection head and a built-in horizontal collection auger. When the manure removal truck is in operation, the lifting head descends relative to the collection box, allowing the collection head to contact the ground, thus achieving effective lifting and collection of manure. In non-operational mode, the lifting head rises relative to the collection box, moving the collection head away from the ground to facilitate equipment movement. However, existing technology has the following drawbacks: the lifting head can only operate in a single direction and cannot adjust its tilt angle relative to the horizontal plane according to terrain requirements. This limitation restricts the operational flexibility and applicability of manure removal trucks to some extent, especially when facing uneven working environments. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, an adjustment mechanism and a manure cleaning vehicle are proposed to solve the technical problem that the lifting head cannot adjust its tilt angle relative to the horizontal plane according to the terrain, thus failing to meet the operating requirements of uneven working environments.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an adjustment mechanism, including a pitch adjustment component and a lifting adjustment component. The pitch adjustment component is inclined relative to the body of the manure cleaning vehicle, and the lifting adjustment component is connected to the lifting head of the manure cleaning vehicle.

[0006] The technical solution is further configured such that the pitch adjustment assembly includes an adjustment rod, and a positive thread nut and a negative thread nut are fixedly connected to the two ends of the adjustment rod, respectively. The positive thread nut is internally threaded with a positive thread screw, and the negative thread nut is internally threaded with a negative thread screw.

[0007] The technical solution is further configured such that the pitch adjustment assembly includes an outer guide tube and an inner guide tube that are nested together and movable relative to each other. The inner guide tube is provided with a pitch adjustment spring inside. An adjustment screw is fixedly connected to the inner guide tube. The adjustment screw is rotatably connected to the lifting adjustment assembly. The outer guide tube is provided with a pitch adjustment nut that is threadedly connected to the adjustment screw.

[0008] When the pitch adjusting nut is turned in the forward direction, the pitch adjusting nut moves along the adjusting screw toward the pitch adjusting spring, and the pitch adjusting spring is compressed; when the pitch adjusting nut is turned in the reverse direction, the pitch adjusting spring is released.

[0009] The technical solution is further configured such that one of the positive lead screw and the negative lead screw is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the other is fixedly connected to the external guide tube.

[0010] The technical solution is further configured such that a wear-resistant sleeve is provided between the outer conduit and the inner conduit.

[0011] The technical solution is further configured such that the lifting adjustment component includes a track inner tube and a track outer tube that are nested together and can move relative to each other.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0026] According to an embodiment of this utility model, an adjustment mechanism is provided; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 6The system includes a pitch adjustment component 100 and a lifting adjustment component 200. The pitch adjustment component 100 is inclined relative to the body 300 of the manure cleaning truck. The lifting adjustment component 200 is connected to the lifting head 400 of the manure cleaning truck. The bottom of the pitch adjustment component 100 is rotatably connected to the body 300, and its top is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting adjustment component 200. The bottom of the lifting adjustment component 200 is rotatably connected to the body 300.

[0027] By setting up the lifting adjustment component 200, the lifting head 400 is raised and lowered. By setting up the pitch adjustment component 100, the pitch angle of the lifting adjustment component 200 and the lifting head 400 can be changed, allowing the lifting head 400 to adjust its tilt angle relative to the horizontal plane according to the terrain requirements, meeting the operational requirements of uneven working environments and offering high flexibility. For example, when encountering a slope, adjusting the angle of the lifting head 400 can ensure that the collection head 402 always maintains optimal contact with the ground, improving the efficiency of sewage collection.

[0028] In one type of adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The pitch adjustment assembly 100 includes an adjustment rod 101, with a positive thread nut 103 and a negative thread nut 105 fixedly connected to the two ends of the adjustment rod 101, respectively. The positive thread nut 103 is internally threaded with a positive thread screw 102, and the negative thread nut 105 is internally threaded with a negative thread screw 104.

[0029] Rotating the adjusting rod 101 causes the positive thread nut 103 and the negative thread nut 105 to rotate. The positive thread nut 103 and the negative thread nut 105 then cause the positive thread screw 102 and the negative thread screw 104 to extend or retract synchronously, thereby changing the axial length of the pitch adjustment assembly 100. Since the bottom of the lifting adjustment assembly 200 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 300, changing the axial length of the pitch adjustment assembly 100 can change the tilt angle of the lifting adjustment assembly 200 relative to the horizontal plane, ensuring that the collecting head 402 always maintains optimal contact with the ground. The operation is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving, allowing for quick adjustment and improving work efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, a thin positive thread nut is provided on one side of the positive thread nut 103. By adding the thin positive thread nut, the positive thread nut 103 can be further tightened, preventing it from loosening due to vibration or other external forces. This double locking mechanism greatly enhances stability and reliability. In use, the positive thread nut 103 is first adjusted to the desired position, and then the thin positive thread nut is tightened to fix this position. This ensures both the accuracy of adjustment and the stability of long-term use. Similarly, a thin negative thread nut is provided on one side of the negative thread nut 105.

[0031] In one type of adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The pitch adjustment assembly 100 further includes an outer guide tube 106 and an inner guide tube 107 that are nested together and movable relative to each other. A pitch adjustment spring 108 is provided inside the inner guide tube 107. An adjusting screw 109 is fixedly connected to the inner guide tube 107. The adjusting screw 109 is rotatably connected to the lifting adjustment assembly 200. A pitch adjustment nut 110 that is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 109 is provided inside the outer guide tube 106.

[0032] When the pitch adjusting nut 110 is turned in the forward direction, it moves along the adjusting screw 109 towards the pitch adjusting spring 108, reducing the axial distance between the outer guide tube 106 and the inner guide tube 107, and compressing the pitch adjusting spring 108. When the pitch adjusting nut 110 is turned in the reverse direction, the pitch adjusting spring 108 is released. In other words, the relative movement of the outer guide tube 106 and the inner guide tube 107 allows the pitch adjusting spring 108 to reach the designed preload.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer conduit 106 is provided with a partition to divide the interior of the outer conduit 106 into a first cavity and a second cavity. The inner conduit 107 and the pitch adjustment spring 108 are located inside the second cavity. The adjusting screw 109 passes through the second cavity and extends into the first cavity. The pitch adjustment nut 110 is located inside the first cavity. At the same time, a hand hole is opened on the cavity wall of the first cavity.

[0034] Furthermore, a pitch adjustment thin nut is provided on one side of the pitch adjustment nut 110. The working principle of the pitch adjustment thin nut is the same as that of the straight thread thin nut, which will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Furthermore, a wear-resistant sleeve is provided between the outer conduit 106 and the inner conduit 107, which can not only reduce wear, but also improve the sliding performance between the outer conduit 106 and the inner conduit 107, making the relative movement between the two smoother and reducing resistance and energy loss.

[0036] In one type of adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 One of the positive lead screw 102 and the negative lead screw 104 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 300 through a spherical bearing 111, and the other is fixedly connected to the outer guide tube 106 through a spherical bearing 111.

[0037] In one type of adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5The lifting adjustment assembly 200 includes an inner track tube 202 and an outer track tube 201 that are nested together and movable relative to each other. The outer track tube 201 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 300 and the pitch adjustment assembly 100, respectively. The inner track tube 202 is fixedly connected to the lifting head 400.

[0038] Furthermore, the vehicle body 300 is provided with a mounting seat 900, and the outer track tube 201 is provided with a lower fixed seat 700. The lower fixed seat 700 and the mounting seat 900 are rotatably connected through a bushing 130 and a bearing assembly. The outer track tube 201 is also provided with an upper fixed seat 800, which is rotatably connected to the pitch adjustment assembly 100.

[0039] Furthermore, an upper mounting plate 500 is provided at the top of the inner tube 202 of the track, and a lower mounting plate 600 is provided at its bottom. The lifting cylinder 401 of the lifting head 400 is fixedly connected to the upper mounting plate 500 and the lower mounting plate 600 respectively.

[0040] In one type of adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The lifting adjustment assembly 200 also includes a telescopic element 203, the movable end of which is rotatably connected to the inner tube 202 of the track, and its fixed end is rotatably connected to the outer tube 201 of the track.

[0041] Furthermore, the lower surface of the upper mounting plate 500 is provided with an ear plate 120, on which a strip groove is formed. The movable end of the telescopic element 203 is installed inside the strip groove via a pin. The fixed end of the telescopic element 203 is rotatably connected to the lower fixed seat 700. As the telescopic element 203 extends or retracts, it drives the lifting head 400 and the inner tube 202 of the track to rise or fall along the outer tube 201 of the track.

[0042] In one type of adjustment mechanism of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The end of the inner tube 202 extends to the outside of the outer tube 201, and a lifting adjustment spring 204 is provided between the end of the inner tube 202 and the end of the outer tube 201.

[0043] Furthermore, the end of the outer track tube 201 is provided with a lifting adjustment nut 205 threadedly connected to it, and a lifting adjustment spring 204 is located between the lifting adjustment nut 205 and the upper mounting plate 500. When the lifting adjustment nut 205 is turned, the compression of the lifting adjustment spring 204 can be changed, so that the lifting adjustment spring 204 reaches the designed preload. When encountering uneven ground, the lifting adjustment spring 204 causes the lifting head 400 to adaptively rise and fall through the upper mounting plate 500, so that the collecting head 402 always maintains optimal contact with the ground.

[0044] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a manure cleaning vehicle is provided. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 6 It includes the vehicle body 300, the lifting head 400, and the aforementioned adjustment mechanism.

[0045] By setting up the lifting adjustment component 200, the lifting head 400 is raised and lowered. By setting up the pitch adjustment component 100, the pitch angle of the lifting adjustment component 200 and the lifting head 400 can be changed, allowing the lifting head 400 to adjust its tilt angle relative to the horizontal plane according to the terrain requirements, meeting the operational requirements of uneven working environments and offering high flexibility. For example, when encountering a slope, adjusting the angle of the lifting head 400 can ensure that the collection head 402 always maintains optimal contact with the ground, improving the efficiency of sewage collection.
