Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic tarpaulin covering technology, and in particular to a self-unloading semi-trailer that automatically covers tarpaulins. Background Technology
[0002] A dump semi-trailer is a heavy-duty special vehicle commonly used for the transportation and unloading of bulk goods. It needs to be used in conjunction with a tractor. Its core feature is that it has an automatic dumping function. It is widely used in mining, infrastructure, logistics and other fields to transport bulk or block materials such as sand, gravel, coal, slag, and building materials.
[0003] The key structures of a dump semi-trailer include the cargo box, hydraulic lifting system, frame, and running gear. During operation, the hydraulic system drives the cargo box to tilt around the hinge point, utilizing gravity to quickly unload the cargo, significantly reducing unloading time and labor costs.
[0004] Currently, some dump semi-trailers are difficult to cover with tarpaulins automatically, while manually covering the tarpaulin requires the driver or worker to climb onto the vehicle, which takes 5 to 15 minutes per operation. In high-frequency loading and unloading scenarios, this will significantly increase the overall transportation cycle and reduce freight efficiency. Therefore, a dump semi-trailer with automatic tarpaulin covering is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-dumping semi-trailer that automatically covers the tarpaulin, which solves the problem that some self-dumping semi-trailers in the prior art are difficult to automatically cover the tarpaulin.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic tarpaulin-covering self-unloading semi-trailer, including a chassis, a cargo box rotatably connected to the top of the chassis, an automatic tarpaulin-covering mechanism installed on the outside of the cargo box, an angle adjustment mechanism installed inside the cargo box, and a self-unloading mechanism installed on the outside of the cargo box.
[0007] The automatic canopy mechanism includes a second hydraulic cylinder, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the drive end of the second hydraulic cylinder, a frame fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod, a limiting post 1 slidably connected inside the frame 1, a limiting post 2 slidably connected inside the frame 1, a limiting plate 1 fixedly connected to the outside of the carriage, a limiting plate 2 fixedly connected to the outside of the carriage, and an extension component provided outside the limiting post 1.
[0008] The extension component includes a frame two, a limiting post three is slidably connected inside the frame two, a frame three is slidably connected outside the limiting post three, a limiting post one is slidably connected inside the frame three, a limiting post two is slidably connected inside the frame three, a support frame one is slidably connected outside the limiting post two, a limiting post three is slidably connected inside the support frame one, a support frame two is slidably connected outside the limiting post three, and a limiting rod is slidably connected inside the frame three.
[0009] The angle adjustment mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder three, a rotating block rotatably connected to the drive end of the hydraulic cylinder three, a rotating plate one rotatably connected to one end of the rotating block, a connecting block one rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating plate one, a fixing block one rotatably connected to the top of the connecting block one, a discharge plate one fixedly connected to one end of the fixing block one, a rotating plate two rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating block, a connecting block two rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating plate two, a fixing block two rotatably connected to the top of the connecting block two, and a discharge plate two fixedly connected to one end of the fixing block two.
[0010] The self-unloading mechanism includes a rear platform, a chain is fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform, and a hook is fixedly connected to the other end of the chain.
[0011] The rotating block is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the carriage, the connecting block one is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the carriage, the connecting block two is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the carriage, the unloading plate one is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the carriage, and the unloading plate two is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the carriage.

[0015] 1. The present invention relates to an automatic tarpaulin-covering self-unloading semi-trailer. After bulk materials are loaded into the cargo box, to prevent dust and rain from wetting the materials during transportation, hydraulic cylinder two is activated. Hydraulic cylinder two drives the connecting rod to move, which in turn drives frame one to move on limiting plate one and limiting plate two. Frame one drives limiting post one to move, which causes frame two to move, which in turn drives limiting post three and limiting post two to move. The two then drive frame three and support frame one to move. Since support frame two is fixed and limiting post one moves, automatic tarpaulin covering is finally achieved.
[0016] 2. The present invention relates to an automatic tarpaulin-covered self-unloading semi-trailer. When unloading, hydraulic cylinder one is first activated, which drives the connecting plate to move, thereby lifting the cargo box. After lifting, the hook releases its engagement with the rear panel to unload the material. Then, hydraulic cylinder three is activated, which drives the rotating block to rotate, thereby causing rotating plate one and rotating plate two to rotate. Rotating plate one drives connecting block one to rotate around the cargo box, causing fixed block one to rotate and opening unloading plate one. Rotating plate two drives connecting block two to rotate around the cargo box and opening unloading plate two, thus preventing material from piling up at the rear of the vehicle and scattering over an excessive area when tipping over.

A cargo box 1 is rotatably connected to the top of the chassis 4. The cargo box 1 can rotate around the chassis 4 to achieve unloading tilting. An automatic tarpaulin-covering mechanism 5 is installed on the outside of the cargo box 1. The automatic tarpaulin-covering mechanism 5 is used to automatically cover or retract the tarpaulin to cover the goods. An angle adjustment mechanism is installed inside the cargo box 1.

[0029] Working principle: Bulk materials are placed inside the carriage 1. To prevent dust from being generated during the transportation of bulk materials and to avoid rainwater from wetting the materials, hydraulic cylinder 2 51 is activated. Hydraulic cylinder 2 51 drives the connecting rod 52 to move. The movement of the connecting rod 52 drives frame 1 55. Frame 1 55 moves on the limiting plate 1 53 and limiting plate 2 54.

The movement of frame 2 581 drives limiting post 3 585 and limiting post 2 587 to move. The movement of limiting post 3 585 and limiting post 2 587 drives frame 3 582 and support frame 1 583 to move. The movement of support frame 1 583 drives limiting post 1 586 to move. Support frame 2 584 remains stationary. Limiting post 1 586 moves, thereby achieving automatic canopy covering.
[0030] When unloading is required, hydraulic cylinder 2 is activated, which moves connecting plate 3. Connecting plate 3 lifts carriage 1. After carriage 1 is lifted, hook 73 releases its engagement with rear panel 71, thus unloading. Hydraulic cylinder 61 is then activated, which rotates rotating block 62. Rotating block 62 rotates rotating plate 63 and rotating plate 67. Rotating plate 63 rotates connecting block 64. Connecting block 64 rotates around a point on carriage 1, which in turn rotates fixing block 65, thereby opening unloading plate 66. Rotating plate 67 rotates, which in turn rotates connecting block 68. Connecting block 68 rotates around a point on carriage 1, which in turn rotates connecting block 68, thereby opening unloading plate 610. This prevents material from piling up at the rear of the vehicle and from covering an excessive area during the overturning process.
