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.
[0028] [First Embodiment]
[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a dump truck crossbeam assembly 1, including a crossbeam 10 and a suspension cylinder bracket 20. The crossbeam 10 includes a main body 110 and two extensions 120 connected to both ends of the main body 110. The main body 110 includes an upper wing plate 111, a lower wing plate 112 opposite to the upper wing plate 111, a front side plate 113 and a rear side plate 114 connected between the upper wing plate 111 and the lower wing plate 112. The rear side plate 114 is arranged opposite to the front side plate 113. The upper wing plate 111, the lower wing plate 112, the front side plate 113 and the rear side plate 114 form a box beam structure. The two extensions 120 are respectively connected to both ends of the upper wing plate 111 and are integral with the upper wing plate 111. The extensions 120 and the upper wing plate 111 are not prone to cracking. The main body 110 may be, for example, the main structural part of the crossbeam 10, and the extension 120 may be, for example, a protruding plate extending outward from the main body 110. The aforementioned box girder structure is, for example, a closed box-shaped structure formed by welding or riveting a top plate, a bottom plate, and two side webs. Its cross-section is typically rectangular or square, with an internal cavity. This hollow design reduces weight, while internal reinforcement (such as longitudinal diaphragms and transverse stiffening ribs) improves resistance to deformation. Due to its closed cross-sectional shape, the box girder structure has high bending and torsional stiffness, capable of withstanding large bending moments and torques. Under the same load, the box girder deforms less, resulting in a more stable structure, making it suitable for engineering structures requiring high load-bearing capacity and high stiffness.
[0030] Two cylinder mounts 20 are provided, each connected to one of the two extensions 120. The cylinder mounts 20 are used to install and support components such as the suspension cylinders, which generate significant forces during operation. By connecting to the box girder crossbeam 10, the load on the cylinder mount 20 can be evenly transferred to the crossbeam 10 and further distributed throughout the entire frame 2 structure, avoiding localized stress concentration. This results in a more reasonable load distribution within the vehicle structure, improving its load-bearing capacity and service life. For example, each cylinder mount 20 and its corresponding extension 120 are integrally formed, making the connection between the cylinder mount 20 and the crossbeam 10 more robust and reliable, significantly improving overall load-bearing capacity, bending and torsional stiffness, and reducing cracking. Furthermore, the crossbeam 10 and the cylinder mount 20 can be welded together, forming a single integral structure that significantly improves the overall structural stiffness and strength.
[0031] Because the crossbeams of existing dump truck frames generally adopt an I-beam structure, the upper and lower flanges and front and rear webs are prone to local buckling under torque due to their cross-sectional shape, resulting in relatively low torsional stiffness. Furthermore, the connection between the flanges and webs is a stress concentration point, making them susceptible to cracking. This application addresses this by designing the main body 110 of the crossbeam 10 as a box-beam structure. The integrity and overall structure of the box-beam interface better accommodates complex loads, resulting in a more uniform stress distribution among the plates, reducing the risk of excessive local stress, and providing greater stability under load. It also possesses high strength and stiffness, and the internal cavity effectively resists bending and torsion, preventing cracking of the crossbeam 10. During dump truck operation, the crossbeam 10 is subjected to forces from vehicle loads, driving bumps, and other factors. The box-beam structure enhances the load-bearing capacity of the crossbeam 10, ensuring the safety and stability of the vehicle under various operating conditions. Compared to an I-beam structure, the box-beam structure of this application is less prone to deformation.
[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the main body 110 further includes a connecting assembly, which includes two first connectors 115 disposed at both ends of the front side plate 113 and two second connectors 116 disposed at both ends of the rear side plate 114. Each first connector 115 has a first reinforcing plate 117 installed inside, and each second connector 116 has a second reinforcing plate 118 installed inside. The crossbeam 10 is welded to the longitudinal beam 30, for example, through the first connectors 115 and the second connectors 116, to form a rigid frame, effectively transmitting vertical loads and traction forces. The first reinforcing plates 117 and the second reinforcing plates 118 are, for example, transverse ribs, which can enhance the bending and torsional resistance of the crossbeam 10, disperse stress, share the force of the first connectors 115 and the second connectors 116, and enhance the rigidity of the first connectors 115 and the second connectors 116.
[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, each cylinder suspension bracket 20 includes two symmetrically arranged mounting plates 210. The two mounting plates 210 of each cylinder suspension bracket 20, the correspondingly connected extension 120 of the cylinder suspension bracket 20, and the main body 110 together enclose a mounting space 220, which is used to accommodate the suspension cylinder. The distance d1 between the ends of the two mounting plates 210 of each cylinder suspension bracket 20 near the upper flange 111 is (e.g., ...). Figure 6 The distance d2 between the two mounting plates 210 and the other end of the lower flange 112 is less than the distance between them. Figure 6 The cylinder bracket 20 has a narrow top and wide bottom structure, meaning the installation space 220 forms a narrow top and wide bottom space. The end near the upper flange 111 facilitates the installation of fasteners such as pins for mounting the suspension cylinder, while the end near the lower flange 112 prevents the mounting plate 210 from interfering with or colliding with the rear suspension cylinder, thereby improving the strength of the cylinder bracket 20.
[0034] Existing mining dump trucks typically use a flat-plate suspension design. This design results in a long pin span, causing the pin to experience a large bending moment under vertical loads. This indirectly increases the stress at the welded joints, making them prone to breakage. This embodiment uses a non-flat-plate design, specifically by reducing the distance between the ends of the two mounting plates 210 closest to the upper flange 111, thus shortening the pin span between the two mounting plates 210 and reducing the bending moment on the pin.
[0035] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6In some embodiments, each mounting plate 210 includes a first mounting segment 211, a second mounting segment 212, and a third mounting segment 213 connected in sequence; the first mounting segment 211 is disposed near the upper wing plate 111, the third mounting segment 213 is disposed near the lower wing plate 112, and the second mounting segment 212 is perpendicularly connected to the first mounting segment 211 and the third mounting segment 213 respectively; the first mounting segment 211 and the third mounting segment 213 are arranged in parallel and located in different planes; the first mounting segment 211 is, for example, a... Figure 6 The horizontal segment shown, the second mounting segment 212 and the third mounting segment 213 are, for example, Figure 6 The vertical section perpendicular to the horizontal section, namely the mounting plate 210, forms a "Z"-shaped structure. The multi-directional bending of the "Z" shape forms a three-dimensional support, which can effectively resist torsional loads and prevent the cylinder bracket 20 from twisting and deforming when the dump truck turns or tilts.
[0036] The distance d1 between the two first mounting sections 211 of each cylinder bracket 20 (e.g.) Figure 6 Less than two third installation segments 213d2 (e.g.) Figure 7 The distance between the first mounting sections 211 and the second mounting section 212 is considered. For example, the upper end of the suspension cylinder is equipped with a mounting component. The suspension cylinder is connected to the mounting component via a pin and then installed between the two first mounting sections 211 of the suspension cylinder bracket 20. The suspension cylinder is positioned within the installation space 220, shortening the distance between the first mounting sections 211 and increasing the distance between the third mounting sections 213, thereby shortening the pin span and reducing the pin bending moment, while simultaneously providing sufficient installation space 220 for the suspension cylinder. For example, reinforcing ribs 214 are also provided on the first mounting sections 211 and the second mounting sections 212 to further enhance the structural stability and strength of the mounting plate 210.
[0037] See Figure 7 In some embodiments, in each cylinder bracket 20, one of the two first mounting sections 211 is parallel to the front side plate 113 and lies in the same plane, while the other of the two first mounting sections 211 is parallel to the rear side plate 114 and lies in the same plane. That is, one of the two first mounting sections 211 is aligned with the front side plate 113, and the other is aligned with the rear side plate 114. This allows the load to be directly transferred through the cylinder bracket 20 to the main body 110 of the crossbeam 10, forming a continuous load-bearing surface with the cylinder bracket 20 and the front and rear side plates 113 and 114 of the crossbeam 10. This increases rigidity and reduces the risk of the frame 2 twisting or deforming during bumps or cornering. Of course, in other embodiments, the centers of the two sections are aligned.
[0038] See Figure 5In some embodiments, in each cylinder bracket 20, one of the two third mounting segments 213 is parallel to and in the same plane as the first reinforcing plate 117, and the other of the two third mounting segments 213 is parallel to and in the same plane as the second reinforcing plate 118. That is, one of the two third mounting segments 213 is aligned with the first reinforcing plate 117, and the other is aligned with the second reinforcing plate 118. This forms a continuous force transmission chain between the third mounting segments 213, the first reinforcing plate 117, and the second reinforcing plate 118, improving the rigidity and strength of the structure.
[0039] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first mounting section 211 has a mounting hole 230 for mounting the suspension cylinder, and the suspension cylinder bracket 20 is connected to the suspension cylinder through the mounting hole 230. Specifically, for example, the suspension cylinder bracket 20 is connected between two mounting plates 210 by a pin passing through the mounting hole 230 on the first mounting section 211.
[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the main body 110 is provided with an air duct hole 130 that penetrates the main body 110. During the operation of the dump truck, components such as the drive control cabinet will generate a lot of heat. The air duct hole 130 can guide airflow through it so that the heat can be dissipated in a timely manner.
[0041] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the main body 110 is provided with a pipeline hole 140 that passes through the main body 110 for various pipelines, including hydraulic pipelines, pneumatic pipelines and electrical cables, etc. The pipeline hole 140 provides a safe and fixed channel for these pipelines, making it easy to arrange the lines and making the pipeline layout reasonable and not messy.
[0042] [Second Embodiment]
[0043] See Figure 8 The second embodiment of this utility model provides a dump truck frame 2, which includes, for example, longitudinal beams 30 and dump truck crossbeam assembly 1.
[0044] The dump truck crossbeam assembly 1 is the same as the dump truck crossbeam assembly 1 described in the first embodiment above. Two longitudinal beams 30 are provided, symmetrically and parallelly arranged. Each longitudinal beam 30 has a first end 310 and a second end 320 opposite to the first end 310. The two longitudinal beams 30 are located on both sides of the frame 2, arranged longitudinally along the vehicle. Two crossbeam assemblies 1 are provided, connected between the two longitudinal beams 30. The two crossbeam assemblies 1 are arranged sequentially and close to the second end 320. The main body 110 is located between the two longitudinal beams 30, forming the core support part of the frame 2 together with the two longitudinal beams 30, effectively resisting longitudinal and lateral deformation of the frame 2. Two extensions 120 are correspondingly positioned on the outer sides of the two longitudinal beams 30 and connected to the suspension bracket 20, further expanding the support range of the frame 2, increasing the rigidity of the frame 2 in the width direction, making the entire vehicle structure more stable, less prone to torsion or bending deformation under load, improving the stability and safety of the vehicle during driving, and reducing cracking. The first end 310 is, for example, the front end of the longitudinal beam 30, and the second end 320 is, for example, the rear end of the longitudinal beam 30.
[0045] The cross-sectional dimensions of the two longitudinal beams 30 remain constant from the first end 310 to the second end 320. The upper and lower planes of the longitudinal beams 30 are parallel to each other and maintain a constant height, making them easy to process and shape. For example, a third reinforcing plate is provided inside the longitudinal beams 30 to strengthen the main supporting longitudinal beams 30, giving them sufficient supporting force. The two crossbeams 10 are, for example, the middle bridge crossbeam and the rear bridge crossbeam.
