    Description

    Technical Field



    [0001] The present invention relates to engineering machinery field, in particular to engineering machinery in which outriggers can be locked, and a locking device thereof.

    Background



    [0002] In engineering machinery such as pump trucks and hoist cranes, an outrigger will extend to increase stability when the boom stretches or lifts up a heavy load, and the outrigger will retract to reduce the size and meet the traveling requirement after the work is done. As specified in the design specifications for engineering machinery such as pump trucks, the outrigger must be locked up with a mechanical locking device after it retracts, to prevent the outrigger from swing out unexpectedly when the truck travels. To this end, all pump trucks have a mechanical locking device nowadays.

    [0003] At present, all such locking devices are manually operated, i.e., the outrigger can extend after the locking device is released manually; the mechanical locking device will be locked up after the outrigger retracts at the end of the work. That is to say, the operating cycle is always as follows: unlock the outrigger manually -- extend the outrigger -- retract the outrigger -- lock up the outrigger manually. Thus, in each operating cycle, the outrigger locking device has to be operated twice; therefore, the labor intensity is high, and missing locking may occur due to human factors. Background art is reflected in CN201843348U which discloses a limiting device for a landing leg.

    [0022] In addition, in the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise stated.

    [0023] Hereafter the locking device for locking an outrigger in engineering machinery according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be detailed with reference to Fig.1∼11.

    [0024] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the locking device comprises a housing 1, a latch 2, an elastic member 3, a push rod 4, and a driving assembly 5. Hereafter the present invention will be described, on a presumption that the outrigger is blocked by the front side of the locking device.

    [0025] As shown in Fig.1∼4, there is a defined chamber in the housing, and the housing has a left end provided with an opening 10. A latch 2 is disposed in the chamber, capable of moving between a first position and a second position in a left/right direction, and is provided with a protruding shoulder 21 arranged at a predetermined distance away from a left end thereof. The latch 2 has a first slope 22 formed at the front side of its left end. For example, as shown in Fig.2, at the front side of the left end of the latch 2, the latch 2 has a first slope 22 and a linear section 24 intersecting the first slope 22 . As shown in Fig.4, when the latch 2 is in the first position, the left end of the latch 2 extends out of the chamber from the opening 10 and the protruding shoulder 21 abuts against the left side wall of the chamber; in that state, the linear section 24 at the front side of the latch 2 abuts against the outrigger 100, so that the outrigger 100 is retained in locked state. As shown in Fig.5 and Fig.8, when the latch 2 is in the second position, the left end of the latch 2 retracts into the chamber; in that state, the outrigger 100 is not locked up, and can swing out over the latch 2.

    [0026] The elastic member 3 sleeves the latch 2 and applyes elastic pressure on the protruding shoulder 21 in a leftward direction. Optionally, the elastic member 3 is a compression spring. To enable the latch to move from the first position to the second position, in this embodiment, a push rod 4 is connected to the right end of the latch, the upper part of the push rod 4 extends into the chamber and is connected to the latch 2 perpendicularly, and is optionally connected to the latch 2 via screws, the lower part of the push rod 4 extends out of the housing 1. In addition, the locking device further comprises a driving assembly 5. In this embodiment, the driving assembly 5 is pivotally connected to the housing 1 and is designed to push the lower part of the push rod 4 to move rightward, so as to drive the latch 2 to move from the first position to the second position.

    [0027] When the outrigger 100 is not used, the latch 2 is in the first position as shown in Fig.4, and abuts against the outrigger 100. To set out the outrigger 100, the driving assembly 5 pushes the push rod 4 to move the latch 2 to the second position firstly, i.e., the outrigger 100 is no longer locked up, which is to say, the outrigger locking device is released. In that state, the outrigger 100 can move over the locking device and operate normally; after the outrigger moves over the locking device, the latch will return to the first position automatically under the action of the elastic member 5. After the work of the outrigger 100 is done, to retract the outrigger 100 while the latch 2 must be driven to the second position firstly; after the outrigger 100 retracts, the latch 2 will return to the first position automatically under the action of the elastic member 5 and locks up the outrigger 100. Thus, with the cooperating among the latch, elastic member, and driving assembly, the latch can return automatically without manual intervention; therefore, the locking device in the present invention is helpful for reducing labor intensity; in addition, since the latch has to be moved from the first position to the second position before the outrigger can retract, missing locking will not occur after the outrigger 100 retracts, and the locking is reliable.

    [0028] Hereafter the preferred embodiment of the present invention and its operating process will be detailed, with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the preferred embodiment, through the coordinated movement of the driving assembly 5, push rod 4, and elastic member 3, the locking device has to be operated manually only once (i.e., unlock the outrigger) in the entire operating cycle of the outrigger, which is to say, the step of relocking up the outrigger manually is omitted. In other words, the conventional operating method with which the locking device has to be operated twice in an operating cycle is improved to an operating method with which the locking device has to be operated only once in an operating cycle.

    [0029] According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Fig.4, the driving assembly 5 comprises a hand lever 52 and a cam 51 connected to one end of the hand lever 52, and the driving assembly 5 is arranged in a way that the hand lever 52 can rotate freely by a predetermined angle in a counter-clockwise direction when the latch 2 is in the second position. Initially, as shown in Fig.4, the cam 51 is in vertical position. When the hand lever 52 is turned in a clockwise direction, the cam 51 will push the push rod 4 to move rightwards, as shown in Fig.8; when the push rod 4 is pushed to a specific position, the cam 51 will disengage from the push rod 4 and stay in free state; now, the cam 51 and hand lever 52 are in the state shown in Fig.9; then, the hand lever 52 will rotate by a predetermined angle in a counter-clockwise direction under gravity, as shown in Fig.10, till it returns to the position shown in Fig.11. The predetermined angle can be defined in the design. Now, the left end of the latch 2 will extends leftwards under the action of the elastic member 3 and consequently the linear section 24 will be exposed, as shown in Fig.4, and thereby the outrigger 100 is locked up.

    [0030] Moreover, preferably, the locking device further comprises two connecting plates 6 and a pin shaft 7, as shown in Fig.1∼11; the two connecting plates 6 are disposed at the front side and the rear side of the driving assembly 5 and connected to the housing 1 respectively; the two ends of the pin shaft 7 are supported between the two connecting plates 6, wherein, the driving assembly 5 is pivotally arranged on the pin shaft 7.

    [0031] Preferably, as shown in Fig.1, a second slope 23 formed at the rear side of the left end of the latch, wherein, the extension length of the first slope 22 in a left/right direction is smaller than the extension length of the second slope 23 in the left/right direction, and the inclination angle of the first slope 22 in relation to the left/right direction is approximately equal to the inclination angle of the second slope 23 in relation to the left/right direction.

    [0032] Moreover, as shown in Fig.4, the latch 2 is in a cylindrical shape with its axis in the left/right direction, and the protruding shoulder 21 is formed around the latch 2.

    [0033] Optionally, as shown in Fig.4, the housing 1 is a hollow cylinder with its axis in the left/right direction, i.e., the chamber is also in a cylindrical shape with its axis in left/right direction. The chamber has an annular boss 11 formed on its inner wall near the right side wall, and the rear end of the elastic member 3 abuts against the front surface of the boss 11.

    [0034] As shown in Fig.4, the locking device further comprises an end cap 8, wherein, the left side of the housing 1 is open and the end cap 8 seals the left side of the housing 1, and the opening 10 is formed on the end cap 8, which is to say, the left end of the latch 2 can move in the left/right direction through the opening 10 on the end cap 8.

    [0035] Hereafter the locking and unlocking process of the outrigger 100 carried out by the locking device according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig.1∼11.

    [0036] In Fig.1∼4, the outrigger 100 is shown in locked state. In that state, the rear end of the elastic member 3 sleeved on the latch 2 abuts against the front surface of the annular boss 11 of the housing 1, and the front end of the elastic member 3 abuts against the protruding shoulder 21 of the latch 2; therefore, the protruding shoulder 21 of the latch 2 abuts against the right surface of the end cap 8. In that state, as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.4, the cam 51 is in vertical position, the first slope 22 and second slope 23 of the latch 2 completely extends out, and, as shown in Fig.3, the linear section of the latch 2 will block the outrigger 100 from swinging out, i.e., the outrigger 100 is locked in a specified position.

    [0037] In Fig.5∼8, the outrigger 100 is shown in operating state. To enable the outrigger to swing out, the hand lever 52 of the driving assembly 5 is pressed to rotate in a clockwise direction, i.e., rotate from the position of hand lever 52 shown in Fig.4 to the position of hand lever 52 shown in Fig.8; thereby, the cam 51 connected to the hand lever 52 pushes the push rod 4 to move rightwards, which in turn drives the latch 2 to move rightwards and further compress the elastic member 3; now, the latch 2 will retract, and the first slope 22 of the latch 2 will enter into the position shown in the top view in Fig.6. In that state, the first slope 22 of the latch 2 aligns to the outrigger 100 (as shown in the top view in Fig.6). Thus, the outrigger 100 can be operated to swing out from front to back; in that process, the outrigger 100 will hit the first slope 22, so that the latch 2 retracts further and thereby the outrigger 100 is released from the outrigger locking device, i.e., in that way, the outrigger is unlocked.

    [0038] In that process, when the outrigger 100 hits the first slope 22, the latch 2 will move rightwards further and compress the elastic member 3, and thereby drives the push rod 4 to move rightwards; consequently, as shown in Fig.9, the push rod 4 disengages from the surface of the cam 51 and the cam 51 enters into free state; under gravity action, the driving assembly 5 will rotate by a predetermined angle in a counter-clockwise direction to the position shown in FIg.10. After the outrigger 100 swings out, the push rod 4 will move leftwards under spring force and collide with the cam 51 that has rotated by the predetermined angle. As a result, a force moment that drives the hand lever 52 to rotate in the counter-clockwise direction is generated, as shown in Fig.9; therefore, the hand lever 52 is driven to return to the original state shown in Fig.1∼4, i.e., the latch 2 extends out completely.

    [0039] After the work is done, the outrigger 100 can be controlled to move towards the front side and hit the locking device; since the latch 2 has returned to its original position automatically and the second slope 23 of the latch 2 abuts against the outrigger 100, the outrigger 100 will hit the second slope 23 of the latch 2; thus, the latch 2 retracts, the outrigger 100 moves over the latch 2 towards the front side, and the latch 2 returns to its original position (as shown in Fig.1∼4) under the action of the elastic member 3. Now, the linear section of the latch 2 aligns to the outrigger 100 and the outrigger 100 can't swing freely. In that way, the purpose of safe locking is attained.

    [0040] In summary, the locking device for locking an outrigger in engineering machinery according to an preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conventional outrigger operating method with which the locking device has to be operated twice in an operating cycle is changed to an operating method with which the locking device has to be operated only once in an operating cycle, i.e., the only operation is to operate the locking device manually to unlock the outrigger simply. In other words, the operations can be reduced by 50% in the entire process. The locking device attains the purpose of automatic locking, is helpful for reducing labor intensity, and is more reliable when compared with conventional manual locking devices, i.e., no missing locking will occur due to human factors.
