When installing the front triangular balance beam body3and the rear triangular balance beam body7, the first positioning holes19corresponding to the second positioning holes20are different for different RV models. The specific location is not limited here, which is determined according to the actual situation.

Moreover, the transverse beams2connected with the front triangular balance beam body3and the rear triangular balance beam body7include a first transverse beam and a second cross beam. The first transverse beam and the second transverse beam are arranged in parallel, and both ends of the first transverse beam and the second transverse beam are fixedly connected with the two longitudinal beams1.

The self-balancing device is specifically analyzed in combination with the above embodiments.

Position welding and reinforcement are carried out on the longitudinal beams1, the transverse beams2, the side inclined support beams6and each connecting reinforcing plate, etc., to obtain the auxiliary beam body, and then the auxiliary beam body is installed on the transverse beam with the front triangular balance beam body3and the rear triangular balance beam body7, so that the RV box body can swing at left and right angles. The first angle is limited by the four limit blocks15on the front triangle balance beam body3and the rear triangle balance beam body7. And the axle-holding21and the axle-holding base are installed on the middle transverse beam of the auxiliary beam body, so that the axle-holding base and the axle-holding21are locked and fixed. The rubber gasket set on the axle-holding21is used to limit the secondary angle and reset the horizontal position of the box body. The two triangular plates17of the front triangular balance beam body3and the rear triangular balance beam body7and the connecting main plate22of the two axle-holdings21are connected with the RV chassis girder to form six connecting points. Under the bumpy road conditions, the self-balancing device can enable the RV box body to achieve reverse buffering and return to balance.

Specifically, the front triangular balance beam body3and the rear triangular balance beam body7are fixed on the RV chassis girder. When the vehicle body passes through bumpy road conditions, the left and right torsion generated by the vehicle body itself is transmitted to the RV chassis girder by the tires. The torsion is then transmitted from the girder to the front triangular balance beam body3, the rear triangular balance beam body7and the axle-holding device4for reverse buffering of inertia and gravity. Then, the two axle-holding bases, axle-holdings and the special rubber gaskets of the self-balancing device produce positioning elastic rebound to return the RV box body for correction. The left and right torsion of the RV box body caused by the bumpy road conditions is released by the 1-degree free angle limited on the left and right of the box body, so as to reduce the danger caused by the large left and right torsion of the RV box body itself and greatly increase the trafficability to the road conditions.

In addition, the manufacturing process of the self-balancing device mainly includes sheet metal, welding, machining, etc., and the low-cost manufacturing greatly increases the passability of the off-road RV in various road conditions. The self-balancing device mainly uses the body weight and the reverse buffer generated by the undulating wheel side to greatly reduce the stress caused by the swing. Simple, easy to install, no manual operation, wide range of applications. Without other electric power, oil pressure and expensive hanging system, the box body could reduce pressure and balance itself. The structure is simple, and it is convenient to install. There is no need for manual operation, and the application range is wide.
