Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective device technology, specifically to a blind spot protection device for a loader. Background Technology

[0002] Loaders are a type of engineering machinery widely used in construction and material handling. They are usually equipped with a front-loading bucket and are controlled by a hydraulic system for lifting and tilting. They are mainly used for loading and unloading bulk materials such as sand, ore, and coal. They mostly use wheeled or tracked chassis, are powerful and flexible in operation, and are commonly found in construction sites, mines, ports and other scenarios. They can complete operations independently or work with transport vehicles to improve efficiency. Some models can also be equipped with different attachments to meet diverse needs.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses a loader with an anti-collision structure (publication number: CN218990290U). This device installs U-shaped pads from an anti-collision assembly on both sides of the loader's rear. These U-shaped pads slide within a mounting housing. When the loader's rear impacts ore, the U-shaped pads are stressed, causing a spring to contract. The driver can see the overall change in the U-shaped pads from the side. When the spring undergoes elastic deformation, a telescopic rod guides it, resulting in greater stability during the elastic deformation process. This anti-collision assembly protects the loader's rear, reducing the risk of damage from impacts with rocks or ore due to the large blind spot at the loader's rear. However, this structure also has the following problems:

[0004] The above-mentioned anti-collision structure can only gradually buffer the impact when the obstacle directly collides with the U-shaped pad and moves a certain distance. At this time, part of the collision energy is easily transferred to the loader structure, and the buffering effect is relatively delayed. Therefore, a loader blind spot protection device is proposed to improve the above structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

A push plate is glued and fixed to one side of the surface of each pad, and a push rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the other side of the surface of each pad.

[0008] The push rod is perpendicular to the length of the contact plate, and a fixed sleeve is fixedly installed on the middle of the surface of the push rod. The top and bottom surfaces of the fixed sleeve are rotatably connected to a first connecting rod, and a slider is rotatably connected between the two first connecting rods.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the top and bottom surfaces of the slider are rotatably connected to a second connecting rod, the second connecting rod and the first connecting rod both rotate around the same axis, and the two second connecting rods are rotatably connected to a clamping plate at the ends away from the slider, and the two clamping plates are fixedly installed on the surface of the contact plate.

The upper and lower ends of the surface of the fixing ears are opened. Extension plates are welded and fixed on both sides of the top surface of the crossbeam. The extension plates are L-shaped in general.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a first sliding groove is symmetrically provided in the middle of the surface of the crossbeam, and a second sliding groove is provided on the surface of the crossbeam between the fixing lug and the first sliding groove. The first sliding groove extends in the length direction of the crossbeam as a whole, and the interior of the second sliding groove extends in the thickness direction of the crossbeam.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inner walls of the two first sliding grooves are respectively inserted into and slidably connected to the slider, and the inner walls of the two second sliding grooves are respectively penetrated and slidably connected to the push rod.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: damping rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the crossbeam on the surface away from the extension plate by bolts.

The pad can assist the damping rod and shock-absorbing spring to play an auxiliary buffering role, thereby improving the energy absorption efficiency during the impact and improving the buffering protection effect.

[0017] (2) The contact plate is supported by a crossbeam. Fixed ears are provided at both ends of the crossbeam to facilitate the installation of the buffer mechanism on the rear surface of the loader.

[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-4As shown, a blind spot protection device for a loader includes an installation mechanism 1, with a buffer mechanism 2 disposed on the outer side of the installation mechanism 1. The buffer mechanism 2 includes a contact plate 201, with symmetrical openings 202 on the surface of the contact plate 201. A pad 203 is connected through the interior of each opening 202. A push plate 204 is glued and fixed to one side of the surface of each pad 203, and a push rod 205 is fixedly connected to the middle of the other side of the surface of each pad 203. The push rod 205 is perpendicular to the length direction of the contact plate 201, and a fixing sleeve 206 is fixedly installed in the middle of the surface of the push rod 205. The top and bottom surfaces of the fixing sleeve 206 are rotatably connected to the middle of each first connecting rod 207. A slider 208 is rotatably connected between the two first connecting rods 207. Figures 1-2 As shown, the pad 203 is made of rubber and can play a role in shock absorption and cushioning.

[0026] The top and bottom surfaces of slider 208 are rotatably connected to a second connecting rod 209. The second connecting rod 209 and the first connecting rod 207 both rotate around the same axis. The ends of the two second connecting rods 209 furthest from slider 208 are rotatably connected to a clamping plate 210. Both clamping plates 210 are fixedly mounted to the surface of the contact plate 201. Figures 1-2 As shown, the contact plate 201 extends to the periphery of the loader, thereby preventing obstacles from directly contacting the loader;

[0027] The mounting mechanism 1 includes a crossbeam 101. Fixing ears 102 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the outer wall of the crossbeam 101, and holes are opened at the upper and lower ends of the surface of the fixing ears 102. Extension plates 105 are welded and fixed to both sides of the top surface of the crossbeam 101. The extension plates 105 are generally L-shaped, and diagonal braces 108 are welded and fixed to the side walls of the extension plates 105. The other end of the diagonal braces 108 is welded and fixed to the crossbeam 101. Several first mounting holes 106 are opened in the horizontal plane of the extension plates 105, and several second mounting holes 107 are opened in the vertical plane of the extension plates 105. The first mounting holes 106 and the second mounting holes 107 are equidistantly arranged along the length direction of the extension plates 105. Figure 1 As shown, bolts can pass through both the first mounting hole 106 and the second mounting hole 107, which facilitates locking and fixing with the loader;

[0028] A first groove 103 is symmetrically formed in the middle of the surface of the crossbeam 101. A second groove 104 is formed on the surface of the crossbeam 101 between the fixing lug 102 and the first groove 103. The first groove 103 extends along the length of the crossbeam 101, and the second groove 104 extends along the thickness of the crossbeam 101. The inner walls of the two first grooves 103 are respectively inserted into and slidably connected to the slider 208, and the inner walls of the two second grooves 104 are respectively penetrated and slidably connected to the push rod 205. Damping rods 109 are bolted to both sides of the crossbeam 101 away from the extension plate 105. The extended ends of the damping rods 109 are bolted to the contact plate 201. A damping spring 110 is sleeved on the outer side of the damping rod 109, and the two ends of the damping spring 110 abut against the contact plate 201 and the crossbeam 101, respectively. Figure 3 As shown, the slider 208 moves linearly along the inside of the first groove 103, while the push rod 205 moves linearly along the inside of the second groove 104.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model:

[0030] When the device is in use, the extension plate 105 is pressed against the surface of the blind spot at the rear of the loader, and bolts or other fasteners are passed through the first mounting hole 106 or the second mounting hole 107 to fix the extension plate 105 to the loader. When an obstacle approaches the rear of the loader, the contact plate 201 first presses against the obstacle, thereby causing the damping rod 109 and the shock absorber spring 110 to retract simultaneously and absorb the impact. During this period, the distance between the contact plate 201 and the crossbeam 101 is shortened, the second connecting rod 209 rotates toward the middle of the crossbeam 101, and drives the slider 208 to move along the first slide groove 103. The distance between the sliders 208 increases, and the second connecting rod 209 also rotates toward the middle of the crossbeam 101. The fixing sleeve 206 drives the push rod 205 to move along the second slide groove 104, and the push plate 204 extends out from the through-hole 202, thereby the pad plate 203 presses against the surface of the obstacle for buffering.

[0031] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
