The invention discloses an overturning hopper. The overturning hopper comprises a hopper body, a hopper revolving support and an overturning mechanism, wherein the overturning mechanism comprises a link and a
crank, one end of the link is hinged onto the hopper body, the other end of the link is hinged with the
crank, and the other end of the
crank is hinged onto a crank revolving support through a crank rotary shaft; and the receiving point and the unloading point of the hopper are both arranged at or close to the dead point of the overturning mechanism through optimizing the starting point and the ending point of the crank, so that the impacted force working condition of speed
reducer equipment is optimized during the loading and the unloading of the overturning hopper. According to the mechanism, the centre-of-gravity position of the hopper body and the centre-of-gravity position of the hopper after the loading are further optimized, so that the centre of gravity of the hopper body is located between the revolving
hinge point of the hopper and the supporting
hinge point of the link and close to the revolving
hinge point of the hopper; and requirements on the output torque of a speed
reducer are greatly lowered by virtue of the force amplification effect of the link, so that the weight of the speed
reducer equipment and the power of a tilting motor are greatly reduced, and the
motor power and the
energy consumption of the
system are saved.
