Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feed transport vehicles, and in particular relates to a novel top cover opening device for feed vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] For standardized, large-scale farming models, bulk feed transport vehicles are widely used by enterprises due to their convenient and efficient transportation capabilities, making them popular among users. These vehicles are highly effective; processed feed no longer needs to be painstakingly bagged and transported, but can be transported in bulk. This is because these vehicles have bulk feed tanks, allowing for compartmentalized loading and automatic unloading, saving time and effort.
[0003] Because the top cover of bulk feed tanks currently uses pneumatic solenoid valves to control cylinders, the cylinders extend and retract to drive the opening and closing of the feed tank top cover. Therefore, transport workers can open the top cover and steal feed by pressing the solenoid valve manually or disconnecting the cylinder air pipe. As a result, feed theft incidents are common.
[0004] Therefore, how to solve the above problems has become a key research topic in the existing technology field. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a novel top cover opening device for feed trucks, which solves the above problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a novel top cover opening device for feed trucks, comprising:
[0007] A hydraulic cylinder, one end of which is fixed to the vehicle body and the other end is connected to the top cover frame;
[0008] A top cover frame, wherein at least one top cover is provided on the top cover frame, and the top cover frame is slidably mounted on the vehicle body;
[0009] And an anti-theft controller electrically connected to the hydraulic cylinder, the anti-theft controller being used to control the operation of the hydraulic cylinder within a specified range.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this application offers the following advantages: During use, the anti-theft controller controls the hydraulic cylinder's operation based on the feed truck's location. For example, if the anti-theft controller detects the feed truck is not in the designated location, the hydraulic cylinder will not operate, preventing the top cover from opening. Conversely, if the anti-theft controller detects the feed truck is in the designated location, the operator can operate the hydraulic cylinder to open it, causing the top cover frame to slide along the vehicle body, thus opening the top cover for material release. In summary, this application uses a single hydraulic cylinder, which, compared to the two cylinders used in existing technologies, further reduces procurement costs. The cylinder also provides greater thrust, resulting in smoother operation when opening the top cover and eliminating the vibration problem associated with cylinder-driven top covers. Furthermore, because the hydraulic cylinder can only open from a designated position, it cannot be manually opened during transportation, and the hydraulic cylinder is difficult to remove without special tools. Forced removal would inevitably lead to oil leaks and prolonged transportation time. Therefore, this application's use of a hydraulic cylinder design completely solves the problem of feed truck theft in existing technologies.
[0011] Furthermore, the extended portion of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the top cover using a fixing pin.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the top cover frame is provided with rollers, which are mounted on the track of the vehicle body.
[0013] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the hydraulic station via a hydraulic circuit.
[0014] Furthermore, the hydraulic circuit adopts a double-layer steel wire laminated circuit.
[0015] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder employs a hydraulic solenoid valve for self-locking.
[0016] Furthermore, the anti-theft controller includes a central processing module, an execution module, and a positioning sensor. The central processing module is electrically connected to the positioning sensor and the execution module. The central processing module generates operating permissions based on the feed truck location data sensed by the positioning sensor, and the execution module controls the hydraulic cylinder to move according to the operating permissions.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[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] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a novel top cover opening device for a feed truck, comprising:
[0025] Hydraulic cylinder 1, one end of hydraulic cylinder 1 is fixed on vehicle body 2, and the other end is connected to top cover frame 3;
[0026] A top cover frame 3 is provided with at least one top cover 4, and the top cover frame 3 is slidably mounted on the vehicle body 2;
[0027] And an anti-theft controller electrically connected to the hydraulic cylinder 1, the anti-theft controller being used to control the operation of the hydraulic cylinder 1 within a specified range.
[0028] Compared with existing technologies, this application has the following advantages: In use, the anti-theft controller controls the operation of hydraulic cylinder 1 based on the location of the feed truck. For example, when the anti-theft controller detects that the feed truck is not in the designated location, hydraulic cylinder 1 will not operate, and the top cover 4 cannot be opened. Conversely, when the anti-theft controller detects that the feed truck is in the designated location, the operator can operate hydraulic cylinder 1 to open it. Hydraulic cylinder 1 then drives the top cover frame 3 to slide along the vehicle body 2, thereby opening the top cover 4 for material release. In summary, compared with pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinder 1 further reduces procurement costs, and the cylinder has greater thrust, resulting in smoother operation when opening the top cover 4 and solving the vibration problem associated with pneumatic cylinders driving the top cover 4. Furthermore, because hydraulic cylinder 1 can only be opened from a designated position, it is impossible to open the top cover 4 manually during transportation, and it is difficult to remove hydraulic cylinder 1 without special tools. Forced removal would inevitably lead to problems such as oil leakage and prolonged transportation time. Therefore, this application, using the design of hydraulic cylinder 1, completely solves the problem of feed truck theft in existing technologies.
[0029] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the extended portion of the hydraulic cylinder 1 is connected to the top cover 4 by a fixing pin.
[0030] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the bottom of the top cover frame 3 is provided with rollers 5, which are mounted on the track 6 of the vehicle body 2. The top cover frame 3 moves on the track 6 via the rollers 5, enabling it to slide stably on the vehicle body 2 and ensuring a smooth and reliable opening or closing process for the top cover 4.
[0031] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the hydraulic cylinder 1 is connected to the hydraulic station 8 via the hydraulic oil circuit 7.
[0032] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the hydraulic circuit 7 adopts a double-layer steel wire laminated connection. This double-layer steel wire laminated connection makes it impossible to disassemble without special tools, and the high pressure within the circuit creates a self-locking mechanism that cannot be manually opened.
[0033] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the hydraulic cylinder 1 uses a hydraulic solenoid valve 9 for self-locking. This self-locking via the hydraulic solenoid valve 9 directly achieves the self-locking of the top cover 4, preventing vibrations during vehicle operation.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown:
[0035] The first working state is Figure 3 The first schematic diagram from left to right, in a static state:
[0036] When the hydraulic solenoid valve 9 is in the neutral position, the hydraulic station 8 does not work, and the hydraulic cylinder 1 achieves self-locking.
[0037] The second working state is Figure 3The second schematic diagram from left to right shows the hydraulic cylinder in the retracted state:
[0038] When the hydraulic solenoid valve 9 is in the right position, the hydraulic station 8 works synchronously, and the hydraulic oil enters the hydraulic cylinder 1 from port B and exits from port A back into the oil tank. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 1 performs a retracting motion.
[0039] The third working state is Figure 3 The third schematic diagram from left to right shows the hydraulic cylinder in the extended position:
[0040] When the hydraulic solenoid valve 9 is in the left position, the hydraulic station 8 works synchronously, and the hydraulic oil enters the cylinder from port A and exits from port B back into the oil tank. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 1 extends.
[0041] Following the above embodiments, more specifically, the anti-theft controller includes a central processing module, an execution module, and a positioning sensor. The central processing module is electrically connected to both the positioning sensor and the execution module. Based on the feed truck location data sensed by the positioning sensor, the central processing module generates operating permissions. The execution module controls the hydraulic cylinder's movement according to the operating permissions. The central processing module may include a general-purpose processor, such as a CPU or GPU, or a dedicated processor, such as an ASIC chip designed for a specific purpose. There may be one or multiple processors. When the central processing module receives an operation command, it combines the operation management data and the operation command and performs calculations to generate an operation command for the mechanical device to execute. The positioning sensor can sense the location data of the transport vehicle. The positioning sensor is preferably a satellite positioning system, which has relatively high positioning accuracy and can avoid the accumulation of positioning errors. Satellite positioning systems include the Global Positioning System (GPS), the European Galileo system, the Russian GLONASS system, and the Chinese BeiDou system. The positioning sensor can use one or more satellite positioning systems to improve positioning accuracy; the embodiments in this disclosure use the Global Positioning System.
[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
