As shown in
In an embodiment, the bending boom 10 is mainly composed of the top plate 300, the bottom plate 400 and the side plate 500. The side plate bending portion 520 can be formed by bending the side plate 500, and the bending boom 10 can be formed when the side plate 500, the top plate 300 and the bottom plate 400 are connected. The extending portion 200 can form a support structure inside the bending boom 10 along the direction in which the extending portion 200 is bent to ensure the strength of the bending boom 10.
It should be noted that, the top plate 300 can have the same shape as the bottom plate 400, which saves the cost of molds in the machining process. In some embodiments, the top plate 300 and the bottom plate 400 can also be configured as corresponding shapes according to practical requirements, and there is no limit here.
Specifically, as shown in
In an embodiment, the side plate bending section 521 is connected to the top plate bending section 321 and the bottom plate 400 to form the bending section 221, respectively.

Specifically, in an embodiment, the side plate 500 is connected to the top plate 300 and the bottom plate 400 by welding, respectively.
In the machining process, the two opposite ends of the side plate 500 can be welded to the top plate 300 and the bottom plate 400 to form the bending boom 10, which ensures the strength of the bending boom 10. In other embodiments, the side plate 500, the top plate 300 and the bottom plate 400 can be connected by detachable connections, such as screw connection, snap-fit connection, plug-fit connection, rivet connection or other connections.
Specifically, in an embodiment, the number of the side plate 500 is two, and the two side plates 500 are both disposed between the top plate 300 and the bottom plate 400 and are centrally symmetrical about the middle portion 100.
In an embodiment, by connecting the top plate 300 and the bottom plate 400 with the two side plates 500, a hollow box structure can be enclosed and formed whose section is rectangular. Compared to a boom with a solid interior, the bending boom 10 in the embodiment can reduce the total weight of the bending boom 10 in the precondition of ensuring the strength of the bending boom 10, which facilitates the light weight, transportation, assembly and use.

Specifically, in an embodiment, the boom device 1 further includes a front boom 20 and a rear boom 30, the front boom 20 and the rear boom 30 are flexibly connected to two opposite ends of the bending boom 10, and the front boom 20 is parallel to the rear boom 30.
In an embodiment, the front boom 20 and the rear boom 30 respectively connected to two opposite ends of the bending boom 10 are provided. Referring to the placement shown in
In some embodiments, the boom device 1 can further include a first sectional boom (not shown in the drawings), one end of the first sectional boom is used to articulate to a rotating platform of a vehicle body, and the other end of the first sectional boom is articulated to the front boom 20. The front boom 20 is a second sectional boom, the bending boom 10 is a third sectional boom, and the rear boom 30 is a fourth sectional boom. When folding the boom device 1, the first sectional boom, the front boom 20 and a head section of the bending boom 10 occupy the space located on one side of the bending boom 10 and are capable of moving in the space, while the rear boom 30 and an end section of the bending boom 10 occupy the space located on the other side of the bending boom 10 and are capable of moving in the space, which helps to reduce the overall height of the boom device 1. In other embodiments of the present application, the boom device 1 can further include a fifth sectional boom, a sixth sectional boom, and so on, and there is no limit to the number of booms.
In this way, by arranging the first, second, third, and fourth sectional booms, the boom device 1 can have a more compact structure in the precondition of meeting the requirement that the boom device 1 has a larger extension size, which reduces the space occupied by the boom device 1 and facilitates the arrangement and installation of the boom device 1 on vehicles. In other embodiments, the above bending boom 10 can also be the fourth sectional boom, and there is no limit here.
Further, the present application further provides a work machine, and the work machine includes the boom device 1 described in any one of the above embodiments. It can be understood that, by installing the above boom device 1, the overall durability of the work machine in the embodiment is also improved, and the maintenance cost of the work machine is also reduced. In an embodiment, the work machine can be, for example, a concrete pump truck or a fire fighting truck, or the like.
In an embodiment, the work machine further includes a hydraulic oil pipe (not shown in the drawings), and the hydraulic oil pipe is at least partially threaded through the middle portion 100 and the extending portion 200.
In an embodiment, the hydraulic oil pipe can be threaded into the bending boom 10 through the side plate bending section 521 on one side, and threaded out through the side plate bending section 521 on the other side. By doing so, the hydraulic oil pipe can be fixed by the bending boom 10, and since the middle portion 100 is always in a relatively fixed state with the hydraulic oil pipe during the unfolding process of the bending boom 10, a problem that the hydraulic oil pipe may be stretched to be broken during the unfolding process of the bending boom 10 can be prevented, in order to protect the hydraulic oil pipe. In addition, the boom device 1 can have a more compact structure, which facilitates the installation and arrangement, the structure is simple, and the use effect is good.
