Description

1 TARIFF MATCHING HORIZONTAL SILO TRUCKS WITH DIFFERENT TRACTOR VEHICLES TO ENSURE THAT A SUITABLE LOAD DISTRIBUTION IS ACHIEVED. METHOD Technical Area 5 The invention relates to different technical specifications of horizontal silo trucks used in dry cargo transportation. If the vehicle is matched with other towing vehicles that have similar characteristics and weight distributions the kingpin and axle load resulting from the combination and the load limits in accordance with regulations It relates to the method of ensuring that it is kept inside. State of the Art 10 Horizontal silo trucks are used especially for transporting dry materials such as cement, flour, lime, gypsum, granular materials and the like. used for transporting bulk cargo, the cargo is contained within a closed silo body. They are transport vehicles that contain silos. In these vehicles, the silo body is usually horizontal or It is arranged in a near-horizontal position and compressed air is used for unloading the load. The system utilizes a compressor and associated air conditioning. The horizontal silo structure accommodates 15 vehicles. limiting the total height and keeping the center of gravity at a certain level. This allows for the storage of certain items; however, silo capacity, shell geometry, Parameters such as chassis structure, number of axles, and load density determine the vehicle's total mass and It directly affects the distribution of mass on the vehicle. When a horizontal silo truck is paired with a towing vehicle, only the towing vehicle's towing capacity is 20. not its capacity, but the total mass created by the tractor and silo trailer together, axle loads and Weight distribution must also be taken into account. Different tractors have different engine power, torque, axle configuration, own curb weight, axle capacities, chassis characteristics, and fifth wheel. They can differ in terms of their position. Accordingly, the same horizontal When silo trucks are used with tractors of different technical specifications, the total number of vehicles is 25. The center of gravity and load distribution on the axles of this combination can vary. Therefore, when matching a silo truck with a tractor, the amount of cargo to be transported and the silo truck's capacity must be considered. the total permitted mass, including the tractor's own mass and its technical specifications. It is important to create a suitable combination taking into account axle loads. It carries. 30 2 The geometric and structural integrity of horizontal silo tanker trucks used in the known state of the art. their constructive features, largely the weight distributions of conventional diesel tractor vehicles This is determined by taking into account the trailer geometry, kingpin position, and axle. The position of the group on the vehicle; the vehicle formed by the tractor and the trailer. The axle loads occurring in this combination are within the limits defined in the relevant legislation. 5 It is designed to keep it inside. In current practices, the towing vehicle's own weight in the drive axle area the load generated and the vertical load transferred from the trailer to the tractor via the kingpin connection By evaluating them together, the axle load distribution of the vehicle combination is determined. For example, in existing horizontal silo truck constructions, there are 10 on the drive axle of the diesel tractor. It is assumed that the tractor has a load of approximately 1 ton due to its own structure. by means of, approximately 10 tons of vertical load transferred from the trailer to the tractor via the kingpin. A vehicle geometry that allows for transfer can be used. In this case The total load on the drive axle remains at approximately 11 tons, and the maximum... It can be kept below the 11.5-ton drive axle load limit. However, especially 15 In tractor vehicles equipped with battery systems, the additional mass of the battery packs and the vehicle Due to its placement, the initial load on the tractor's drive axle is significant. It can increase significantly. In the example application, approximately 1 ton in a conventional diesel tractor. The fact that the load in question increases to approximately 4.5 tons in a battery-powered tractor, If the horizontal silo truck carries the same kingpin load, the total load on the drive axle is 20 This can cause the load to exceed the permitted limits. Therefore Existing horizontal silo trailers designed according to the weight distribution of conventional diesel tractors. its geometry is directly used in tractor vehicles with different weight distributions. It may not be possible. Based on the known state of the technique mentioned above, the current technique involves 25 The disadvantages are as follows:  Trailer geometry and kingpin position, predominantly conventional diesel Since it is designed according to the axle load distribution of the tractors, it has a different weight distribution. Proper axle load distribution cannot be achieved in trucks with this feature.  Particularly due to the additional mass caused by the battery systems, the tractor's 30 Increasing the initial load on the drive axle, via the kingpin from the trailer It reduces the amount of permissible vertical load that can be transferred. 3  If the existing trailer construction is used without modification, the trailer will tow. the total load on the axle exceeding the maximum axle load permitted by legislation The risk of exceeding the limit arises.  When it is necessary to reduce the load transferred from the kingpin to the tractor, The load needs to be redistributed across the trailer's axle assembly. This situation is 5 This can cause an increase in axle loads on the trailer axle assembly.  Making an arrangement solely to reduce the kingpin load on the trailer disruption of load distribution in the axle assembly and exceeding permitted axle loads It does not constitute an adequate solution as it may lead to overcoming the problem.  Therefore, the problem is not solved simply by changing the kingpin position; 10 Kingpin location, trailer axle assembly location, distance between axles, and Solved by considering the overall geometry of the vehicle together. is required. The main technical problem in current technology is the weight and axle load of conventional tractors. Horizontal silo trucks, structured according to their distribution, have a drive axle of 15. Used with different tractor configurations that have a high initial load. In this case, the load transmitted through the kingpin exceeds the permitted load on the drive axle of the tractor. exceeding the given limits and the load in question being placed on the trailer axle assembly If transferred, the trailer axle loads increase. Therefore, the tractor axle... It allows for simultaneous control of loads on the kingpin and trailer axle assembly. 20 a new horizontal silo trailer that provides and can adapt to different attractive weight distributions The need to create its geometry arises. In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions being the subject of discussion... Due to its shortcomings, an improvement is needed in the relevant technical field. It has been made. 25 Purpose of the Invention The invention was created by drawing inspiration from existing situations and overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks. It aims to solve the problem. The main purpose of the invention is to enable electric traction vehicles with high self-weight and different axle loads. 30 resulting from matching with existing horizontal silo trucks due to their distribution 4 a suitable load distribution to solve the drive axle load problem The aim is to present a horizontal silo truck construction. Another purpose of the invention is to provide a more robust drive axle compared to conventional diesel tractors. In electric tractors with high starting loads, the load is transferred from the trailer to the tractor. reducing the transmitted kingpin load and ensuring appropriate axle loads in the vehicle combination. The goal is to ensure that it is distributed in this way. Another purpose of the invention is to ensure proper load distribution on a horizontal silo truck. kingpin position, axle assembly position on the vehicle, inter-axle distances, vehicle geometry, and center of load location are related to each other. It is to organize. 10 Another objective of the invention is to handle a kingpin load of approximately 6 tons on a fully loaded horizontal silo truck. with this, approximately 26 tons of axle assembly load is obtained together, and thus the vehicle The aim is to make them compatible with electric tow trucks. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. Thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures, it becomes clearer. 15 This will be understood as such, and therefore the evaluation will also take these forms and detailed explanations into account. This should be done taking that into consideration. Figures that will help understand the invention.

Axle load Detailed Description of the Invention 25 This detailed description refers to the tractor vehicles that match the silo trucks that are the subject of the invention. The preferred structures for load balancing methods are only relevant to the subject matter. It is explained in order to facilitate a better understanding. The load arrangement method described in this invention involves high-speed mounting on the drive axle of an electric tractor. In order to balance the initial load, the kingpin and axle assembly of the horizontal silo truck. and by arranging the geometric relationship between the load center, in the fully loaded state approximately 6 tonne kingpin load (1) and approximately 26 tonne trailer axle assembly load The invention relates to a horizontal silo truck construction that enables the creation of a silo truck. Invention 5 With the method in question, a fully loaded horizontal silo truck can carry approximately 6 tons of kingpin load (1). approximately 26 tons of axle load is achieved together, thus making the vehicle electric. It is ensured that it can be matched with trucks. The working principle of the invented method is based on different weight and axle load distributions. When vehicles are paired with horizontal silo trucks, the vehicle combination includes 10 vehicles. the resulting kingpin load (1) and axle load (2) are the loads permitted under the relevant legislation. arranging the load distribution in a way that ensures it is kept within the limits It is based on the principle. In existing horizontal silo trucks, the kingpin load transferred from the trailer to the tractor (1), This creates an additional load on the drive axle of the tractor. Conventional diesel 15 In tractors, the load caused by the weight of the drive axle itself is relatively low. due to the existing trailer geometry, the kingpin load (1) is transmitted on the drive axle It can remain within the permitted load limits. However, especially the battery Due to their groups, the tractor has a higher initial load on the drive axle. Transfer of the same kingpin load (1) in the vehicles, the total load on the drive axle is allowed 20 This can cause the given limits to be exceeded. The invention aims to reduce the kingpin load (1) transferred to the tractor by the method in question and the reduced The aim is to transfer the load to the trailer side in a controlled manner. However, kingpin the amount of load that needs to be carried on the trailer as a result of the reduction of the load (1) Since the load will increase, the said load should be transferred directly to the existing axle group, axle 25 This may cause the load (2) to increase and the axle load limits to be exceeded. Therefore, the method in question distinguishes the kingpin load (1) from the axle load (2). not independently, but the overall load distribution of the vehicle combination interacts with each other. It considers these as elements. The geometric and constructive structure of the horizontal silo truck, While the kingpin load (1) transferred to the tractor is reduced, the axle load (2) is also within the permitted limits of 30 It is designed to ensure that it is kept inside. The invention provides a methodology that allows for the improvement of existing conventional diesel tractors. The horizontal silo truck structure has different features that allow for a higher initial load on the drive axle. 6 adaptability to tractor configurations and kingpin load in vehicle combinations (1) ensures a balanced distribution of the axle load (2). Thus, the tractor and considering the load limits on the trailer side together, with different tractor weight distributions. An adaptable horizontal silo truck construction is obtained. The invention describes a method for tractor vehicles with varying weight and axle load distributions. In the case of pairing horizontal silo trailers, the kingpin formed in the vehicle combination. the load (1) and the axle load (2) must be kept within the legally compliant load limits. It is a method aimed at providing, and its characteristic is;  With the kingpin load in the fully loaded state determination, 10  Adjusting the total load of the trailer axle assembly,  Kingpin position should be appropriate for load distribution determination,  Repositioning the axle assembly on the vehicle arrangement, 15  The distance between the axles must be suitable for the load distribution. determination,  Between the load center of the silo truck and the kingpin and axle assembly arrangement of geometric relationship,  The vertical load transferred to the tractor and the trailer axle assembly is 20 joint control of the transferred cargo and  With the aforementioned geometric arrangements, the horizontal silo truck matching with vehicles having different weights and axle loads It includes the steps involved in the process. 30
