[0017] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "upper surface," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides an embodiment of a flexible connection device between a cab and a carriage, comprising a transfer component 2 installed on one side of the cab 1; one side of the transfer component 2 is connected to the carriage via a flexible component 3; the transfer component 2 includes an outer fixing frame 20, and a first sealing element 22 is provided at the connection between the outer fixing frame 20 and the cab 1; therefore, the first sealing element 22 can be used to seal the cab 1 and the outer fixing frame 20. To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the flexible component 3 and the adapter component 2, the flexible component 3 includes a sealing cover 30, one end of which is provided with a first connecting part 31, and an inner pressure frame 33 is provided inside the first connecting part 31; a connecting piece 32 passes through the inner pressure frame 33, the adapter component 2 and the cab 1 and is connected to a fastener 4 to realize the connection between the adapter component 2 and the flexible component 3 and the cab 1.

[0019] The connector 32 is preferably a bolt, and the fastener 4 is preferably a knurled screw. Therefore, the fastener 4 can be loosened on the inside of the cab 1 to loosen the fastener 4 and the connector 32, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the adapter 2 and the flexible component 3. At the same time, as the fastener 4 is tightened, the first connecting part 31 can be forced to squeeze the first sealing member 22 to improve the sealing of the connection between the cab 1 and the first connecting part 31.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the sealing cover 30 is made of foldable tarpaulin, and a second connecting part 36 is provided at the end of the sealing cover 30 away from the first connecting part 31; wherein, the second connecting part 36 can be directly fixed to the carriage by welding or other methods. The foldable tarpaulin is installed and fixed to the front wall of the carriage through holes by screws or rivets. The foldable tarpaulin is made of silicone rubber material, and the sealing cover 30 formed can meet certain tensile and torsional conditions.

[0021] Therefore, due to the compressibility and stretchability of the folding tarpaulin, it can counteract certain torsional and swaying movements between the cab and the vehicle body during movement. Furthermore, when the chassis requires maintenance, fastener 4 can be removed to separate the device from the cab, facilitating the cab's forward tilt and making vehicle maintenance easier.

[0022] Furthermore, since the first sealing element 22 includes a groove 23, and a sealing ring 25 is provided on the outer side of the groove 23; wherein, the groove 23 is fitted onto the connection between the cab 1 and the outer fixed frame 20, and the sealing ring 25 is in contact with the flexible component 3. Therefore, the groove 23 can be used to fit one side of the first sealing element 22 onto the edge of the cab 1 and the outer fixed frame 20, sealing the connection between the cab 1 and the outer fixed frame 20.

[0023] Furthermore, since protrusions 24 are provided on the opposing surfaces inside the slot 23, when the first seal 22 is compressed, the protrusions 24 can be pressed against the side of the cab 1 and the outer side of the outer fixing frame 20 to further enhance the sealing performance of the equipment.

[0024] To reduce rainwater infiltration, a water baffle 21 is provided at the upper end of the outer fixing frame 20. Therefore, the water baffle 21 can be used to block rainwater and reduce the amount of water entering the equipment through gaps.

[0025] In addition, an inner pad 5 is provided between the outer fixing frame 20 and the flexible component 3. Therefore, the inner pad 5 can be used to limit the movement distance of the flexible component 3 towards the cab 1, and the inner pad 5 can be used to ensure that the first seal 22 is under appropriate compression during connection, so as to extend the service life of the first seal 22; wherein, the first seal 22 is preferably made of rubber.

[0026] Based on the above solution, since the flexible component 3 also includes a decorative frame 35, the first connecting portion 31 is pressed against the first sealing member 22 by the decorative frame 35. Therefore, the decorative frame 35 can be fitted with the first sealing member 22 to improve the sealing performance between the facing surfaces of the flexible component 3 and the adapter component 2; in particular, when the inner fixing frame 33 is located inside the first connecting portion 31 and the decorative frame 35 is located outside the first connecting portion 31, the outer fixing frame 33 and the decorative frame 35 can be used to shape the first connecting portion 31 to prevent deformation of the first connecting portion 31 during use.

[0027] Furthermore, since the flexible component 3 also includes a second sealing element 34, and the second sealing element 34 is fitted onto the edge of the first connecting portion 31, the second sealing element 34 can be used to seal the decorative frame 35 and the inner pressure frame 33. Specifically, the cross-section of the second sealing element 34 is U-shaped, so when the second sealing element 34 is fitted onto the edge of the first connecting portion 31, the sealing performance at the connection can be enhanced. Specifically, the first connecting portion 31 is an L-shaped metal part, such as an iron plate or a stainless steel plate, thus facilitating the insertion of one end of the first connecting portion 31 into the U-shaped second sealing element 34. One side of the second sealing element 34 can seal the first connecting portion 31 and the decorative frame 35, and the other side of the second sealing element 34 can seal the first connecting portion 31 and the inner pressure frame 33, thus ensuring that both sides of the decorative frame 35 are sealed. Preferably, the second sealing element 34 is made of rubber.

[0028] Furthermore, the decorative frame 35 has an L-shaped cross-section, and its bottom edge extends inward toward the sealing cover 30. Therefore, it can conceal the inner pressure frame 33 and the second seal, achieving an aesthetic effect, and can also support the inner pressure frame 33 from below.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
