Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a folding mechanism for rearview mirrors of small work vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Small work vehicles, such as small forklifts and small construction vehicles, often operate in relatively confined spaces.

[0003] Existing rearview mirrors for small work vehicles are generally fixed in place. When driving in complex environments such as narrow alleys or densely populated work areas, the non-folding mirrors are prone to scraping against surrounding obstacles, causing damage to the mirror surface and deformation of the bracket, affecting rear visibility and increasing maintenance costs. Furthermore, when vehicles need to be parked in garages with limited space or pass through width-restricted sections, fixed rearview mirrors occupy extra space, causing significant inconvenience to parking and passage. Therefore, a folding mechanism for rearview mirrors of small work vehicles is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Purpose of the utility model

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a rearview mirror folding mechanism for small work vehicles. By enabling flexible folding and unfolding of the rearview mirror, it can effectively reduce the risk of scratches, improve passability, and reduce the space occupied when the small work vehicle is parked.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] This utility model provides a rearview mirror folding mechanism for a small work vehicle, including a small work vehicle. An electric push rod is installed on the top of the small work vehicle. The telescopic axis of the electric push rod faces one side of the front of the small work vehicle and is connected to a moving block.

[0008] The small work vehicle has first connecting rods symmetrically hinged at the front of the vehicle and on both sides of the windshield. The bottom of each of the first connecting rods is connected to a rearview mirror via a rotating assembly.

[0009] Connecting sleeves are installed on the outer end faces of the first connecting rods on both sides, and the tops of the connecting sleeves on both sides are connected to the two ends of the moving block through the second connecting rods respectively.

[0010] The bottom of the moving block is connected to the top of the small work vehicle via a sliding assembly.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a protective housing located on top of the miniature work vehicle and outside the electric push rod.

[0012] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a slide rail and a sliding block. The slide rail is located on the upper surface of the small work vehicle and below the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod. One end of the sliding block is slidably connected to the slide groove of the slide rail, and the other end of the sliding block is connected to the bottom of the moving block.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a first connecting plate, a fixed rod, a drive motor, and a second connecting plate. The first connecting plate is installed at the bottom of the first connecting rod. The bottom edge of the first connecting plate is connected to the second connecting plate via a plurality of annular arrays of the fixed rod. The drive motor is installed on the upper surface of the second connecting plate, and the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the second connecting plate connected thereto and is connected to the rearview mirror.

[0014] Preferably, the connection surfaces of the first connecting rod and the first connecting plate, the center of the first connecting plate and the center of the second connecting plate are located at the same point.

[0015] Preferably, the second connecting rod and the moving block are hinged, and the second connecting rod and the connecting sleeve are rotatably connected.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] This small work vehicle's rearview mirror folding mechanism uses an electric push rod to fold the rearview mirrors in front of the vehicle's windshield. This allows for flexible folding in complex environments such as narrow alleys and densely populated work areas, preventing collisions with surrounding obstacles. Furthermore, when the small work vehicle is parked in a garage with limited space or passes through width-restricted sections, the folding mirrors reduce space usage and facilitate parking and passage.

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, such as welding, riveting, or bonding; it can also be a detachable connection, such as threaded connection, keyed connection, or pin connection; or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a rearview mirror folding mechanism for a small work vehicle, including a small work vehicle 7. An electric push rod 12 is installed on the top of the small work vehicle 7. The telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 12 is directed toward one side of the front of the small work vehicle 7 and is connected to the moving block 5.

[0027] The front of the small work vehicle 7 is symmetrically hinged with first connecting rods 3 on both sides of the windshield. The bottom of the first connecting rods 3 on both sides is connected to the rearview mirror 1 through a rotating assembly.

[0028] Connecting sleeves 2 are installed on the outer end faces of the first connecting rods 3 on both sides, and the tops of the connecting sleeves 2 on both sides are connected to the two ends of the moving block 5 through the second connecting rods 4 respectively.

[0029] The bottom of the movable block 5 is connected to the top of the small work vehicle 7 by a sliding assembly. The second connecting rod 4 is hinged to the movable block 5, and the second connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve 2.

[0030] In this utility model, when the rearview mirrors 1 on both sides need to be folded to the front window of the small work vehicle 7, the electric push rod 12 will retract, thereby driving the moving block 5 to move. When the moving block 5 moves, it can drive the second connecting rods 4 at both ends to rotate. When the second connecting rods 4 rotate, they can drive the first connecting rod 3 to rotate through the connecting sleeve 2. When the rearview mirrors 1 are folded to the front window of the small work vehicle 7, the flexible unfolding and retraction of the rearview mirrors 1 can effectively reduce the risk of scratches, improve passability, and reduce the space occupied when the small work vehicle 7 is parked.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, a protective housing 6 is also included, which is located on top of the miniature work vehicle 7 and outside the electric push rod 12.

[0032] It should be noted that the protective outer shell 6 can protect the electric push rod 12.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the sliding assembly includes a slide rail 13 and a sliding block 14. The slide rail 13 is located on the upper surface of the small work cart 7 and below the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 12. One end of the sliding block 14 is slidably connected to the slide groove of the slide rail 13, and the other end of the sliding block 14 is connected to the bottom of the moving block 5.

[0034] It should be noted that when the electric push rod 12 drives the moving block 5 to move, it can drive the sliding block 14 at the bottom of the moving block 5 to move in the groove of the slide rail 13, thus ensuring the stability of the movement of the moving block 5.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the rotating assembly includes a first connecting plate 8, a fixing rod 9, a drive motor 10, and a second connecting plate 11. The first connecting plate 8 is mounted on the bottom of the first connecting rod 3, and the bottom edge of the first connecting plate 8 is connected to the second connecting plate 11 by a plurality of annular array fixing rods 9. The drive motor 10 is mounted on the upper end face of the second connecting plate 11, and the output shaft of the drive motor 10 passes through the second connecting plate 11 connected to it and is connected to the rearview mirror 1. The connecting surfaces of the first connecting rod 3 and the first connecting plate 8, the center of the first connecting plate 8, and the center of the second connecting plate 11 are located at the same point.

[0036] It should be noted that when the drive motor 10 is started, the drive motor 10 can drive the rearview mirror 1 to rotate, thereby automatically rotating the rearview mirror 1 without the need for a staff member to rotate it.

[0037] The second connecting plate 11 can be used to install the drive motor 10, and the multiple fixing rods 9 can provide a certain degree of protection for the drive motor 10.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
