Description
A flexible steering system for folding trailer Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of trailers, in particular to a flexible steering system for a folding trailer. Background Art
[0002] A foldable trailer is a foldable and towable cargo vehicle. It is widely used in transporting things because of its simplicity of use, ability to carry cargo, ease of storage, and time and labor saving. It is now often used in outdoor activities or short-distance transportation.
[0003] At present, existing trailers, whether foldable or not, usually use oblique fork universal wheels to facilitate steering. Due to its structural design (the wheel axis and the rotation axis are not on the same vertical line), the oblique fork universal wheel is more convenient and labor-saving in steering than the traditional straight fork universal wheel (the wheel axis and the rotation axis are on the same vertical line). It will rotate according to the direction of force transmission. However, at the same time, due to its free steering, it will be more difficult to control than the straight fork universal wheel, especially on loaded and inclined uphill roads. At this time, the oblique fork universal wheel will turn in the direction of the sliding force due to the influence of the sliding force. In order to prevent the trailer from losing control of its direction, it can only be pulled in the opposite direction by manpower, which brings inconvenience to its use. Moreover, trailers are usually used outdoors. When the road surface is rough, the free movement characteristics of the inclined fork universal wheel will cause the inclined fork universal wheel to turn by itself when squeezed by the uneven road surface. Although the inclined fork universal wheel can be straightened by increasing the forward force, the inclined fork universal wheel is in a tilted state due to the squeezing, and the resistance of the uneven road surface is added. At this time, the force applied needs to be greater than the various resistances, which is even more so when overloaded, which greatly affects the user experience of the trailer.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the present invention provides a flexible steering system for a folding trailer, comprising: a folding body 10, the folding body being of a gathered type, wheels 11 being provided at both ends of the bottom of the folding body 10, a steering assembly 13 being further provided at the bottom of the folding body 10, the steering assembly 13 being connected to the wheel 11 at least at one end, the steering assembly 13 being used to drive the connected wheel 11 to steer, folding rods 12 being rotatably connected to both sides of at least one end of the folding body 10, a pull rod assembly 14 being further provided at at least one end of the folding body 10, adjacent ends of two folding rods 12 being rotatably connected to the pull rod assembly 14, and the bottom of the pull rod assembly 14 being further connected to the steering assembly 13;
[0031] Specifically, the folding body 10 is a gathering type body. The gathering type folding body 10 is a rectangular frame formed by side bracket assemblies that can be folded in the front, rear, left and right directions, and the bottom surface of the frame is also provided with a foldable bottom bracket. When folded, the middle bottom bracket arches upward, and the four side bracket assemblies in the front, rear, left and right directions gather and fold toward the middle from four directions. The volume of this type of vehicle body after folding is smaller and more convenient to carry, so the present application preferably adopts a gathering type vehicle body. Although the present application adopts a gathering type vehicle body, the structure of the present application is also suitable for a folding type vehicle body, that is, a vehicle body with a raised middle and front and rear ends close to the middle; wheels 11 are respectively provided at both ends of the bottom of the folding vehicle body 10, and a steering assembly 13 is also provided at the bottom of the folding vehicle body 10. The steering assembly 13 is connected to the wheel 11 at at least one end to drive the rotation of the wheel 11 to control the walking direction of the folding vehicle body 10. A folding rod 12 is provided at at least one end of the two ends of the folding vehicle body 10. The folding rod 12 has two folding rods 12, and the two folding rods 12 are symmetrically arranged. The ends away from each other are respectively rotatably connected to the folding vehicle body 10, and the two folding rods 12 can be rotated vertically relative to the folding vehicle body 10 to adapt to the folding. The vehicle body 10 is folded, and a pull rod assembly 14 is provided on at least one end of the folding vehicle body 10. The pull rod assembly 14 is located at one end adjacent to the two folding rods 12 and is rotatably connected to the folding rods 12 respectively. When the folding rods 12 rotate relative to the folding vehicle body 10, the pull rod assembly 14 will be driven to rise or fall, wherein the pull rod assembly 14 can also be horizontally rotated relative to the folding rod 12. The bottom of the pull rod assembly 14 is connected to the steering assembly 13. When the pull rod assembly 14 rotates horizontally, it drives the steering assembly 13 to move, and the steering assembly 13 drives the wheel 11 to move. It should be pointed out that the number of folding rods 12 and pull rod assemblies 14 may not be equal. When the folding rod 12 and the pull rod assembly 14 are only provided at one end of the folding vehicle body 10, the folding rod 12 and the pull rod assembly 14 need to be located at the same end. When the folding rods 12 are provided at both ends, the pull rod assembly 14 may be provided at only one end.
[0032] It should be pointed out that since the wheels 11 are connected together through the steering assembly 13, their rotation is driven by the steering assembly 13, so the wheels 11 can be straight-fork universal wheels, which can be more stable than oblique-fork universal wheels during driving and cannot rotate freely. They will only rotate when subjected to force in a specific direction, thereby improving safety in use. In addition, under heavy load conditions, straight-fork universal wheels are easier to steer.
[0033] Furthermore, each end of the wheel 11 is provided with two wheels, and the steering assembly 13 is located between the two wheels 11 at the same end. The front and rear ends of each wheel 11 at the same end as the steering assembly 13 are respectively provided with a wheel swing arm 111, and each end of the steering assembly 13 is rotatably connected to the two wheel swing arms 111 at the corresponding end.
[0034] Specifically, each end of the folding body 10 is provided with two wheels 11, and the steering assembly 13 is located between the two wheels 11 at one end. The front and rear ends of the two wheels 11 are provided with wheel swing arms 111 extending horizontally outward. The two ends of the steering assembly 13 are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding wheel swing arms 111. When the steering assembly 13 moves to one side, it drives the two wheels 11 to rotate synchronously.
[0035] Furthermore, the steering assembly 13 includes: a cable 131, wherein two cables 131 are provided, and both ends of each cable 131 are rotatably connected to the two wheel swing arms 111 at the same end, and the bottom of the pull rod assembly 14 is rotatably connected to at least one of the cables 131;
[0036] Specifically, the steering assembly 13 includes two cables 131, one cable 131 is rotatably connected to the wheel swing arm 111 at the front end of the wheel 11, and the other cable 131 is rotatably connected to the wheel swing arm 111 at the rear end of the wheel 11. One cable 131 is used to enable the two wheels 11 to be linked, and the other cable 131 is used to be connected to the pull rod assembly 14, and is driven by the pull rod assembly 14 to drive one of the wheels 11 to rotate. When one wheel 11 rotates, the other wheel 11 will be driven synchronously through the cable 131.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, adjacent ends of the two folding rods 12 are respectively embedded with synchronous teeth 122, and the two synchronous teeth 122 are meshed with each other. The adjacent ends of the two folding rods 12 are connected together through a connecting sleeve 121, and the bottom of the pull rod assembly 14 is rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve 121;
[0038] Specifically, since the two folding rods 12 are connected together by the connecting kit 121 and are not directly connected, the two folding rods 12 will have inconsistent rotation angles when they rotate, causing the pull rod assembly 14 connected to the connecting kit 121 to tilt, affecting normal use. For this reason, a synchronous tooth 122 is fixedly embedded at one adjacent end of the two folding rods 12, and the two synchronous teeth 122 are in a meshing state. Through the meshing of the two synchronous teeth 122, the two folding rods 12 are rotated synchronously, and the angles are also the same, thereby ensuring that the pull rod assembly 14 can always be in a vertical state. At the same time, after the two folding rods 12 are folded, the ends of the synchronous teeth 122 will contact the top wall of the connecting kit 121. In order to avoid the folding rod 12 being unable to rotate due to the restriction of the connecting kit 121, a avoidance groove 123 is also provided on the top surface of the connecting kit 121. When the folding rod 12 rotates, the ends of the synchronous teeth 122 will extend out of the connecting kit 121 through the avoidance groove 123.
[0039] Furthermore, the pull rod assembly 14 includes: a movable head 141, the movable head 141 is located at the side of the connecting kit 121 and is rotatably connected to the connecting kit 121, a transmission rod 142 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the movable head 141, and one end of the transmission rod 142 away from the movable head 141 is rotatably connected to the steering assembly 13, and the top of the movable head 141 is rotatably connected to a direction pull rod 143, and the direction pull rod 143 is retractable.
[0040] Specifically, the pull rod assembly 14 includes: a movable head 141, which is passed through the outside of one side of the connecting kit 121 and is rotatably connected to the connecting kit 121 through a bearing. The bottom of the movable head 141 is fixedly connected to a transmission rod 142, which extends horizontally outward on the movable head 141, and the end of the transmission rod 142 away from the movable head 141 is rotationally connected or fixedly connected to one of the cables 131 through a rotating axis. The top of the movable head 141 is rotatably connected to the direction pull rod 143, and the direction pull rod 143 can rotate vertically relative to the movable head 141, and the direction pull rod 143 can drive the movable head 141 to rotate in place relative to the connecting kit 121, wherein the direction pull rod 143 is a retractable structural design, which is a common structure and will not be described here.
[0041] It should be pointed out that the two ends of the transmission rod 142 can also be connected to the corresponding cables 131 respectively, and the direction pull rod 143 can be circular or elliptical. In this embodiment, an elliptical shape is preferably adopted because the folding trailers on the market are all elliptical, and the production chain of the product has been formed, which can reduce production costs.
[0042] Furthermore, a reinforcement member 144 is embedded in one end of the direction pull rod 143 connected to the movable head 141, and the reinforcement member 144 is rotatably connected to the movable head 141;
[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the direction pull rod 143 adopts an elliptical shape, and the bottom of the direction pull rod 143 is rotatably connected to the movable head 141. In order to improve the strength of the direction pull rod 143 during use, a reinforcement 144 is embedded in the bottom of the direction pull rod 143. The reinforcement 144 is rotatably connected to the movable head 141. The direction pull rod 143 is rotatably connected to the movable head 141 through the reinforcement 144, thereby improving the strength of the connection and improving the service life.
[0044] Furthermore, a sleeve 145 is provided on the outer side of the direction pull rod 143. The outer circle of the sleeve 145 is circular. A clamp 101 is provided in the middle of the end of the folding body 10 corresponding to the pull rod assembly 14. The clamp 101 is adapted to the sleeve 145.
[0045] Specifically, in order to facilitate the direction pull rod 143 to be fixed on the folding body 10 when not in use, the folding body 10 is provided with a clamp 101 installed in the middle of one end of the pull rod assembly 14. The clamp 101 is semicircular in shape and is made of plastic material. While having a certain strength, it also has a certain toughness, which is convenient for the direction pull rod 143 to be placed. Since the direction pull rod 143 is elliptical and the clamp 101 is semicircular, the direction pull rod 143 is easy to rotate in the clamp 101 when the angle is greater than 45 degrees. In order to detach from the clamp 101, a sleeve 145 adapted to the clamp 101 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the direction pull rod 143. The outer circle of the sleeve 145 is circular. When the direction pull rod 143 rotates, the sleeve 145 rotates accordingly. The sleeve 145 is round and will be restricted by the clamp 101 no matter how much it rotates. It can effectively prevent the direction pull rod 143 from detaching from the clamp 101 during rotation. The length of the sleeve 145 is determined by the rising height of the direction pull rod 143 relative to the folding body 10 when the folding body 10 is folded.
[0046] It should be noted that if the direction rod 143 is circular, the sleeve 145 is not required.
[0047] Furthermore, the rotation axis of the steering rod 143 and the rotation axis of the wheel 11 at the same end are located on the same straight line;
[0048] Specifically, the rotation axis of the steering rod 143 and the rotation axis of the wheel 11 are located on the same straight line because, in this embodiment, the transmission rod 142 is connected to only one of the cables 131, and no slide groove is provided on the transmission rod 142. Under this condition, the rotation axes of the three are located on the same straight line, which enables the steering rod 143 to rotate smoothly and without hindrance. Otherwise, a slide groove needs to be provided on the transmission rod 142 so that the connection between the transmission rod 142 and the cable 131 can change its relative position relative to the transmission rod 142 when the transmission rod 142 rotates.
[0049] It should be noted that when both ends of the transmission rod 142 are respectively connected to the corresponding cables 131, the three do not need to be in the same straight line, but the requirement of forming a parallelogram between the two wheel swing arms 111 and the transmission rod 142 must be met.
[0050] Furthermore, the cable 131 is a flexible structural member; specifically, in the present embodiment, the cable 131 is preferably a flexible structural member, such as a steel wire rope, a braided rope, etc., which has a deformable property. When the folding body 10 is folded, the two wheels 11 are close to each other, so that the steel wire rope loses its pull and is deformed under gravity, which will not affect the folding of the folding body 10.
[0051] It should be pointed out that since the transmission rod 142 is connected to one of the cables 131, when folded, the cable 131 connected to the transmission rod 142 will not fall down, but the other cable 131 is not connected to the pull rod assembly 14, so it will fall down when folded, affecting its use. For this reason, a pull rope (not shown in the figure) that is slidably connected to the cable 131 can be set on the rotating rod, so that the transmission rod 142 can lift the cable 131 through the pull rope when folded.
[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the folding vehicle body 10 is further provided with a controller (not shown in the figure) and a power source (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the controller, and the wheel 11 at at least one end is a powered wheel and is electrically connected to the controller;
[0053] Specifically, in order to make the use of the folding trailer more labor-saving, the hand-pulled trailer can be set as an electric power-assisted trailer. It is only necessary to set a controller and a power supply on the folding body 10, and the power supply is electrically connected to the controller. At the same time, at least two wheels 11 at one end are replaced with power wheels with hub motors inside. The power wheels can refer to the power wheels of electric bicycles or electric wheelchairs. The power wheels are electrically connected to the controller and driven by the controller; at the same time, control buttons for controlling speed and start and stop (not shown in the figure) can be set on the direction pull rod 143, and the control buttons are also electrically connected to the controller, thereby realizing electric power assistance.
[0054] It should be pointed out that the circuit control adopts existing conventional technology, and reference may be made to the control of electric bicycles, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0055] Furthermore, the folding vehicle body 10 is provided with an electric steering device 15 at one end where the power wheel is located, and the electric steering device 15 is connected to the corresponding wheel 11 through a connecting piece;
[0056] Specifically, in order to realize the remote control function, an electronic steering device 15 can also be installed at the end of the folding body 10 where the power wheel is located. The output end of the electronic steering device 15 can make left and right swing movements. The output end of the electronic steering device 15 can be selectively connected to the middle part of one of the cables 131 or to the wheel swing arm 111 of one of the power wheels. The electronic steering device 15 is also electrically connected to the controller, and the controller can receive external control signals to control the operation of the electronic steering device 15 to achieve the remote control effect.
[0057] To sum up, the present invention sets a symmetrical folding rod 12 at the end of the folding body 10, supports the pull rod assembly 14 through the folding rod 12, realizes the connection of the steering assembly 13 between the pull rod assembly 14 and the wheel 11, and can control the movement of the steering assembly 13, thereby controlling the steering of the wheel 11. The structural design is reasonable, the structure is simple, and the operation is convenient. At the same time, through the setting of the steering assembly 13, the wheel 11 can directly adopt a straight fork universal wheel, making the use of the folding trailer safer and the driving more stable. The steering assembly 13 adopts a flexible structural part, which does not affect the folding of the folding body 10, and the cost is also low, and it has a large market application prospect.
[0058] The present invention is not limited to what is described in the specification and implementation modes, and therefore additional advantages and modifications can be easily realized by those skilled in the art. Therefore, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices, and illustrated examples shown and described herein.
