State of the Art 20 of the supporting bodies, work platforms, mobile machines and similar structures For safe use, the center of gravity of the structure and the support at the ground must be considered. The relationship between these points needs to form a stable support area. In structures with a high center of gravity in particular, changes in load distribution, moving loads, forces generated during operation, sloping or uneven surfaces, and Due to external forces, bending may occur in the supporting structure, and the weight is 25 Risk of tipping over as a result of the center approaching the boundary of the support area. It can occur. In known technology, the risk of overturning is particularly high in structures with a high center of gravity.

This is often the case with such systems. leveling of support points or predetermined stabilization The opening of the elements is involved. In contrast, the bending that occurs... by directly converting the magnitude of the overturning moment into a mechanical input. The new support point needed to reduce the load is 5 from the carrier body. Passive mechanical structures are needed that change the distance depending on the slope magnitude. It is also present in known stabilization systems as a support element. Extending it towards the ground ensures that the support element in question is an effective load-bearing element in all cases. This does not mean that it forms a support.

Therefore, the new support point... not only its geometric position but also the actual mechanical reaction it receives from the ground. It needs a system that allows it to lock in place depending on the force applied.

The goal is to develop a passive mechanical stabilization system. The purpose of the invention is to reduce the magnitude of the bending occurring in the supporting body to 30 a passive mechanical modification of the effective support geometry of the carrier body The goal is to establish a stabilization system. Another aim of the invention is to determine whether the bending exceeds only a certain threshold value. Instead of determining the magnitude of the bending, the support that the stabilization element will provide will be 35 by converting the distance of the point from the supporting body to the body in case of a small bend. 3 In a closer, or in a larger, tilt, a support point is created further away from the body. the stabilization response should be made compatible with the instability that occurs The goal is to establish a stabilization system that provides this. Another objective of the invention is to increase the height of existing support legs by only 5 instead of changing it, the carrier body has the same characteristics as it does in its normal operating condition. by creating a new support point outside the initial support area The goal is to develop a stabilization system that expands the effective support geometry.

The alternatives suggested were presented solely for the purpose of better understanding the subject and without any It is explained in a way that will not create a limiting effect. 5 Figure 1 shows the normal operation of the passive mechanical stabilization system described in this invention. The appearance of the situation is given. Accordingly, the passive mechanical stabilization system is the most suitable. In its basic form; the initial support that carries a carrier body (10) on the ground. element (20) is associated with the supporting body (10) and the vertical 10 of the supporting body (10) A tilt sensing element that converts the angular deviation relative to the reference point into mechanical motion. (30) connected to the tilt sensing element (30) and the carrier body (10) tilt The motion that transmits the relative motion that occurs in the tilt sensing element (30) when it starts. The transmission element (40) is connected to the motion transmission element (40) and tilt sensing 15 Mechanical motion received from element (30) via element (40) depending on the distance of the new support point from the supporting body (10) a cam profile (50) that determines the cam follower that moves on the cam profile (50) element (60) extends outwards with the movement it receives from the cam profile (50) and carrier a new support point outside the initial support geometry of the body (10) The stabilizing element (70) forming the stabilizing element (70) has 20 at the free end of the stabilizing element (70). the support shoe (80) in contact with the ground, the stabilization element (70) in contact with the ground a mechanically verifying the ground reaction force generated in the section that reaction verification element (90), stabilization element (70) in carrier position The transport lock (100) secures the stabilizing element (70) back to its starting position. It contains a pull return element (110). 25 The passive mechanical stabilization system described in the invention is designed to stabilize a carrier body (10) when it overturns. to ensure its stabilization against risk and normal operation of the carrier body (10) in this case, in addition to the initial support geometry it has, at least one new It forms a point of support. 30 The carrier body (10) is the main structure on which the passive mechanical stabilization system operates. and in normal operation there are multiple starting support elements (20) It is placed on the ground by means of the initial support elements (20) contact with the ground. The area enclosed by the points it has made, the initial support geometry of the carrier body (10) 35 It forms. Before the stabilization system is put into operation, the carrier body (10) 6 It rests on the initial support geometry and is a stabilizing element. (70) is in the retracted position. Bending occurs in the carrier body (10). When it arrives, instead of changing the height of the existing support elements, the system By creating a new support point outside the initial support geometry, it becomes effective. It expands the support area. 5 Tilting of the carrier body (10) relative to the vertical reference, tilt sensing element (30) It is converted into mechanical displacement. In the preferred application The tilt sensing element (30) is a pendulum that references the direction of gravity or It has a movable weight structure. Tilt detection 10 when the carrier body (10) is in the vertical position. element (30) is in the neutral position. When the carrier body (10) is tilted, tilt sensing occurs. A relative mechanical movement occurs between the element (30) and the carrier body (10). This movement is not to carry the stabilization load, but to determine the slope magnitude. It is used to generate mechanical input. This relative motion occurring in the tilt sensing element (30) is motion transmission. The motion is transmitted to the cam profile (50) via the element (40). (40) is the mechanical coupling element that carries the slope magnitude to the cam profile (50). The cam profile (50) takes this mechanical displacement from the tilt sensing element (30) as 20 It is the functional surface that converts the amount of elongation of the stabilization element (70). Cam between the slope magnitude (α) and the support distance (L) to be created on the profile (50) There is a predetermined mechanical relationship. Accordingly, at a small slope (α₁) stabilization element (70) at distance L₁, at medium slope (α₂) at distance L₂ and large To create a new support point at a distance L₃ from the slope (α₃), move outwards 25° It moves. Cam follower element (60) moving on cam profile (50), cam profile (50) transmitted to the movable part of the stabilizing element (72) by following its geometry It creates mechanical movement. Cam follower element (60) cam profile (50) 30 its position on it, how far out the stabilizing element (70) will extend This elongation amount depends on the slope magnitude of the supporting body (10). These create different support distances such as L₁, L₂ or L₃. Stabilization element (70), fixed stabilization section (71) and 35 moving parts accordingly. It consists of a movable stabilization section (72). Fixed stabilization section 7 (71) is attached to the carrier body (10) and the movable stabilization section (72) is linear. or provides infrastructure for guided movement. Mobile stabilization section (72), from the carrier body in line with the mechanical movement it receives from the cam follower element (60). (10) extends outwards. As a result of this extension, the stabilization element (70) The support shoe (80) located at the free end is outside the initial support geometry 5 It is being directed to a location and a new support point is being established. The support shoe (80) is the end of the stabilization element (70) that contacts the ground and preferably connected to the stabilization element (70) by an articulated connection, on an inclined or It adapts to uneven terrain. 10 Movable contact section (81) that senses ground reaction inside the support shoe (80) It is located. When the support shoe (80) reaches the ground, the movable contact section (81), a limited mechanical movement due to the effect of the reaction force applied by the ground It performs this action. This action is transmitted to the reaction verification element (90). 15 Reaction verification element (90) detects the movement from the movable contact section (81). by advancing against the mechanical threshold element (91) whether the ground reaction force is sufficient It indicates that it is not. The mechanical threshold element (91), which operates depending on the reaction verification element (90), 20 the ground reaction force formed by the contact of the support shoe (80) with the ground It is the mechanical resistance element that determines whether it is sufficient or not. Mechanical threshold element. (91), a preloaded spring, elastic element or a displaced element with a certain force It can be a mechanical arrangement. By its function, the mechanical threshold element (91) is the reaction verification. 25 prevents element (90) from reaching the position that would activate the transport lock (100). or a threshold mechanism that allows. The ground reaction force threshold value When it falls below, the reaction verification element (90) activates the transport lock (100). It cannot reach the position to do so. In this case, the stabilization element (70) carrier It is not locked in position. However, the ground reaction force reaches the threshold value. When it reaches or exceeds this value, the reaction verification element (90) releases the transport lock 30 (100) activates. The transport lock (100) secures the stabilizing element (70) in the carrier position. It is a mechanical lock. When the transport lock (100) is engaged, it is attached to the stabilizing element (70) incoming load, tilt sensing element (30), motion transmission element (40) or cam profile 35 It is transferred directly to the carrier body (10) without passing through (50). 8 Returning the tilt of the carrier body (10) to the safe working range and stabilization After the load on element (70) is reduced, return element (110), It brings the stabilization element (70) back to its retracted starting position. Back The return element (110) may be a spring, counterweight or elastic mechanism. Return element (110), carrier body (10) 5 when the system is not in use It prevents their sizes from growing unnecessarily. The operating principle of the passive mechanical stabilization system, which is the subject of this invention, is described below. This is explained with an example; Normal on four starting support elements (20) of a mobile work platform Considering the situation where it is in the working position, the carrier body (10) is vertical is in position and the tilt sensing element (30) is in the neutral position. In this case The stabilization element (70) is in the retracted position and the support shoe (80) is in the starting position. It does not create an effective load-bearing point outside the support geometry. 15 Changes in load distribution on the platform, displacement of a moving load, or When the carrier body (10) starts to tilt due to the effect of an external force, tilt sensing A relative mechanical movement occurs between the element (30) and the carrier body (10). This movement is transmitted to the cam profile (50) via the motion transmission element (40). 20 The cam follower element (60) moving on the cam profile (50) depends on the geometry of the profile. Depending on the connection, it moves the movable part of the stabilization element (72) outwards. If the slope magnitude is at the α₁ level, the mobile stabilization section (72) starts at 25 The movement will create a support at a distance L₁ outside the support geometry. does. When the slope magnitude increases to the α₂ level, the cam profile (50) of the cam follower element (60) causes it to move more and the stabilizing element (70) this time L₂ 30 It extends outwards to form a support at a certain distance. Thus, the system, the slope It responds mechanically not only to its existence but also to its size, and provides effective support. It expands its geometry depending on the magnitude of the slope. 9 The support shoe (80) located at the free end of the stabilization element (70) is determined It contacts the ground when it reaches the support distance. However, the support shoe (80) Contact with the ground alone is not sufficient to lock the carrier into place. The movable contact section (81) located inside the support shoe (80) is 5 degrees from the ground. It performs a limited mechanical motion under the influence of the applied reaction force, and This movement is transmitted to the reaction verification element (90). If the ground does not have sufficient bearing capacity, reaction verification element (90) It cannot reach the level that will exceed the mechanical threshold element (91) and the transport lock (100) is activated. It does not enter. In this case, even if the stabilizing element (70) is in contact with the ground, the carrier The system does not lock in position and waits for the ground reaction to increase, or This allows the stabilization element to search for a more suitable support position. When the soil reaction force reaches the value determined by the mechanical threshold element (91) 15 or when this value is exceeded, the reaction verification element (90) transport lock (100) activates. When the transport lock (100) is engaged, the stabilizing element (70) carrier is fixed in position and the stabilization load is transmitted by the tilt sensing element (30), motion transmission. without passing over the element (40) or cam profile (50) directly to the carrier body (10) is transferred. Thus, outside of the initial support geometry, the slope magnitude is 20 a new bearing at a suitable distance and with mechanically verified ground reaction the point occurs. Reducing the inclination of the carrier body (10) and returning to the safe working range. After that the load on the stabilizing element (70) decreases and the load lock (100) 25 It becomes free. In this case, the return element (110) returns the stabilization element (70). It returns to the initial position and the system returns to its normal operating geometry. rotary.
