Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of transportation tooling equipment, specifically relating to an external extension rod device for a spreader trailer. Background Technology
[0002] When a spreader malfunction occurs during container loading and unloading operations and cannot be resolved immediately, the usual approach is to directly replace it with a spare spreader to ensure the continuation of on-site operations. The malfunctioning spreader is then transported by flatbed truck to a rear spreader repair workshop for maintenance. One type of spreader malfunction involves a failure of the spreader hydraulic pump (or a damaged motor coupling), preventing the spreader from retracting to 20 feet. Traditional spreader flatbed trucks are only suitable for loading 20-foot spreaders and are therefore unsuitable for handling such malfunctions.
[0003] Terminal operational efficiency is crucial for terminal operations. When a 40 / 45-foot spreader malfunctions and cannot be resolved, the faulty spreader should be quickly replaced and towed away from the site to avoid disrupting operations. Terminal operational efficiency heavily relies on the rapid turnaround of spreaders. If a 40 / 45-foot spreader malfunctions and cannot be retracted, failure to remove it from the site promptly will directly lead to operational interruptions and even delays in shipping schedules, resulting in significant economic losses. Existing flatbed trailers for transporting extra-long spreaders present the following problems: 1. Insufficient adaptability: When spreading equipment is transferred between different areas of the dock, the traditional flatbed truck is only compatible with 20-foot spreading equipment, which cannot meet the transportation needs of extra-long spreading equipment.
[0004] 2. Poor stability: Traditional temporary solutions often involve simple binding and adding soft connectors, which cannot fundamentally solve the problems of stability and precise control. Temporary binding is prone to loosening, causing the lifting equipment to shift or slip during transportation, threatening the safety of personnel and equipment.
[0005] 3. Difficult to operate: The weight of the spreader and the trailer is too great, making it difficult to achieve precise operation with the existing connection method. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example: like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an external extension rod device for a spreader trailer, including a first rod 1, a second rod 2, a movable base assembly, and a shock absorption assembly; One end of the first tie rod 1 is connected to one end of the second tie rod 2. The bottom of the second tie rod 2 is rotatably engaged with the movable base assembly. The shock absorption component is located at the rotatable engagement point between the second tie rod 2 and the movable base assembly. The other end of the first tie rod 1 is provided with a first connecting part, and the other end of the second tie rod 2 is provided with a second connecting part.
[0024] The external extension rod device in this embodiment addresses the problem of long-sized lifting devices being unable to retract to their original size due to malfunctions, thus preventing their removal from the site by a trailer. Its second connecting part connects to the lifting device trailer, while the first connecting part connects to an external power source, such as a forklift or trailer. This extends the area covered by the lifting device on the trailer. The first and second connecting parts facilitate connection to an external power source. Furthermore, a shock-absorbing component is included to increase the overall structure's seismic resistance during movement and enhance its structural strength.
[0025] In this embodiment, the specific structures of the first connecting part and the second connecting part are as follows: The first connecting part includes a first connecting plate 3, and the first connecting plate 3 is provided with a first connecting hole 4.
[0026] Specifically, the end of the first connecting plate 3 away from the first tie rod 1 is semi-circular.
[0027] Specifically, the second connecting part includes two parallel second connecting plates 5, each with a second connecting hole and a connecting bolt 6. The connecting bolt 6 forms a groove 7 between itself and the other end of the second connecting plate 5 and the second tie rod 2.
[0028] Specifically, the end of the second connecting plate 5 away from the second tie rod 2 is semi-circular.
[0029] In the above structure, the first connecting part can be adapted to a universal connector for trailer or forklift rear attachment points to ensure accurate connection.

[0030] The movable base assembly of this embodiment includes a base body 8 and roller components 9, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base body 8. The roller components 9 have a wheel diameter of 300mm and are made of wear-resistant hard solid rubber. The above-mentioned side allows the operator to push the external extension rod device, reducing the intensity of manual handling.
[0031] In this embodiment, the specific structure for the bottom of the second tie rod 2 to rotate with the movable base assembly is as follows: A first rotating seat 10 is provided on the base body 8, and a second rotating seat 11 is provided at the bottom of the second tie rod 2.

[0034] The structure of the above-described shock-absorbing components, when the external extension tie rod device is connected to an external power source and a lifting trailer for towing, enhances the shock absorption and buffering effect when the first tie rod 1 and the second tie rod 2 rotate relative to the moving base assembly, thereby increasing the overall seismic resistance of the structure during movement and improving its structural strength. Simultaneously, the structure of the guide plate 16 and the first connecting column 14 and the second connecting column 15 further increases the stability of the first tie rod 1 and the second tie rod 2 during rotation relative to the moving base assembly.
[0035] In this embodiment, the connection structure between the first tie rod 1 and the second tie rod 2 has been reinforced, as detailed below: A connecting reinforcement assembly is provided between one end of the first tie rod 1 and one end of the second tie rod 2. The connecting reinforcement assembly includes a first connecting reinforcement plate 18 and a second connecting reinforcement plate 19. There are two or more first connecting reinforcement plates 18 arranged in parallel. The two ends of the first connecting reinforcement plates 18 are respectively connected to the first tie rod 1 and the second tie rod 2. Specifically, this can be done by welding. The second connecting reinforcement plate 19 is provided on both sides of the first tie rod 1 and the second tie rod 2 and is connected to the first connecting reinforcement plate 18.
