Pneumatic Actuated Automatic Trailer Locking Plate Mechanism

Abstract

The invention is a system that enables the automatic movement of the locking lever (2) in the locking plate mechanism used in trailers by means of a pneumatic actuator (3). The system includes a plate body (1), a locking lever (2) that moves on the plate body (1), and a pneumatic actuator (3) that moves the locking lever (2). The pneumatic actuator (3) is connected to the plate body (1) via a body connection hinge (4) and to the locking lever (2) via a lever connection hinge (5) and is operated via an air line (6) and a control valve / button (7). The invention reduces the need for manual intervention and provides ease of use by enabling the automatic execution of locking and releasing operations.

Description

1 TARIFF Pneumatic Actuated Automatic Trailer Locking Plate Mechanism Technical Area: The invention describes the connection and detachment of trailers to tractors used in the transportation sector. This relates to lock plate systems that provide, in particular, locking and releasing operations. systems that enable automatic execution with the help of pneumatic actuators It includes. State of the Art: In current lock plate systems, locking and unlocking operations are performed manually by the operator. These systems require physical strength, are prone to operator error, and are implemented in 10 different ways. Incomplete locking carries the risk of wasting time. Furthermore, with current solutions, There is no integrated system that directly and automatically moves the locking lever. Purpose of the Invention: The aim of this invention is to eliminate the manual operation of the locking lever, making locking and unlocking easier. The goal is to automate processes, increase security, and reduce operation time. 15 Brief Description of the Invention: The invention describes the operation of a locking lever (2) located on the locking plate, with the help of a pneumatic actuator (3). It is a system that enables automatic movement. The pneumatic actuator (3) is connected with one end to the plate body (1) and the other end to the locking lever (2). It is positioned. Pneumatic actuator (3), plate body (1) body connection hinge (4) 20 and is connected to the locking lever (2) via the lever linkage hinge (5). 2 The actuator (3) is operated via the air line (6) and the control valve / button (7). Opening or closing of the locking mechanism by movement of the locking lever (2) The system includes a return spring that supports the completion of the locking process. It can also be found. Figure Description: 5 Figure 1 shows the general view of the trailer locking plate mechanism of the invention. Figure 2 shows the connection between the plate body and the locking lever of the pneumatic actuator. It shows the details. Figure 3 shows the air line and control valve / switch that enables the pneumatic actuator to operate. It shows the resulting pneumatic control system. 10 Reference Numbers: 1 – Plate body 2 – Locking handle 3 – Pneumatic actuator 4 – Body connection hinge 15 – Arm connection hinge 6 – Air line 7 – Control valve / button Detailed Description of the Invention: 3 The invention is a locking plate mechanism that enables the attachment and detachment of trailers from the tractor. and the locking lever (2) located on the plate body (1) is actuated by the pneumatic actuator (3). It is configured to move automatically. The pneumatic actuator (3) is positioned between the plate body (1) and the locking lever (2). One end of the pneumatic actuator (3) is connected to the plate body (1) via the body connection hinge (4), 5 The other end is connected to the lock handle (2) via the handle linkage hinge (5). Body connection hinge (4) and arm connection hinge (5), movement of the pneumatic actuator (3) This connection structure allows for angular adjustment during the actuator (3) reducing mechanical stress during movement and improving the working motion of the mechanism. It supports adaptation. 10 The pneumatic actuator (3) is powered by compressed air transmitted to it via the air line (6). It is operated. The air flow transmitted to the pneumatic actuator (3) via the air line (6) is controlled. It is controlled via the valve / button (7). When the pneumatic actuator (3) is activated via the control valve / button (7), the actuator (3) The movement is transferred to the locking lever (2). As a result of the movement of the locking lever (2), the locking occurs. The mechanism opens and the connection between the trailer and the tractor is released. is provided. Locking lever (2) with the interruption of compressed air or the return movement of the actuator (3) it returns to its previous position and the locking mechanism is re-locked. It is passing. 20 The return spring available in the system supports the return movement of the locking lever (2) It helps the locking mechanism reach the locking position. 4 How the Invention Works: When the trailer is positioned on the tractor, the plate body (1) of the locking plate mechanism and the lock The connection process is carried out via the lever (2). The locking mechanism locks Its position ensures the connection between the trailer and the tractor. When the trailer needs to be separated from the tractor, the control valve / button (7) is activated and the air line 5 Compressed air is transmitted to the pneumatic actuator (3) via (6). The compressed air operated pneumatic actuator (3), housing connection hinge (4) and arm connection hinge (5) By moving, it moves the locking lever (2). With the movement of the locking lever (2), the locking mechanism is opened and the gap between the trailer and the tractor is opened. The connection is being released. 10 During the locking process, the locking lever (2) is retracted by the return movement of the pneumatic actuator (3). It returns to its starting position and the locking mechanism is re-engaged. Back The return spring, if present, supports this return and locking movement. In this way, the invention is the pneumatic actuator (3) of the locking lever (2) in the trailer lock plate mechanism. by enabling automatic movement with the help of 15 reducing, and enabling more controlled locking and releasing operations, This allows for increased ease of use.
