[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a forklift-specific bucket, which is arranged on the fork 61 at the front end of the forklift 60, including a bucket body 10, a fork connecting device 20 and a bucket locking device 30, wherein the fork connecting device 20 is arranged at the bottom of the bucket body 10, the bucket locking device 30 is arranged at the back of the bucket body 10, and the forklift-specific bucket is further fixed to the forklift 60 by an upper iron chain 40 and a lower iron chain 50.

[0040] Specifically, the hopper body 10 is welded by a bottom plate 11, a back plate 12 and two side plates 13, the bottom plate 11 and the back plate 12 are rectangular steel plates, the two side plates 13 are right-angled triangular steel plates of the same shape and size, and the relatively shorter right-angled sides of the two right-angled triangular steel plates 13 are equal in length to the short side of the back plate 12; further, in order to better shovel construction waste into the hopper body 10, the thickness of one side of the bottom plate 11 away from the back plate 12 gradually decreases from the inside to the outside, so that one side of the back plate 12 forms a slope, similar to the shape of a dustpan, to facilitate garbage collection.

[0041] Specifically, two lower ear plates 14 for articulating the fork connecting device 20 are symmetrically arranged on the outer bottom surface of the base plate 11, and an upper ear plate 15 for articulating the hopper locking device 30 is arranged on the outer side surface of the back plate 12. In order to make the force on the hopper body 10 uniform, the lower ear plate 14 and the upper ear plate 15 are respectively arranged in the middle part of the outer bottom surface and the outer side surface of the base plate 11.

[0042] Specifically, the fork connecting device 20 includes two sleeves 21 and a crossbeam 22 connecting the two sleeves 21. Preferably, the sleeve 21 described in this embodiment is made of square steel material, and the crossbeam 22 is made of I-beam. The two ends of the crossbeam 22 are respectively welded to the side walls of the two sleeves 21. In order to cooperate with the connection function of the fork connecting device 20, the end of the sleeve 21 connected to the fork 61 is cut into a vertical end face, and the end of the sleeve 21 connected to the hopper body 10 is made into an arc end face.

[0043] Specifically, the hopper locking device 30 includes a locking member 31 and a snap ring 32 . The snap ring 32 is fixed at the center of the beam 22 . A hook 35 is provided at the end of the locking member 31 . The locking member 31 locks the hopper body 10 through the snap action of the hook 35 and the snap ring 32 .

[0044] Furthermore, in order to realize the loading and unloading actions of the hopper body 10, it is required that the hopper body 10 can be tilted upward from a horizontal position to a certain angle and fall back, which requires that the connection between the fork connecting device 20 and the hopper locking device 30 and the hopper body 10 is rotatable. Preferably, in this embodiment, it is hinged. The specific connection method is to hinge one end of the sleeve 21 with the hopper body 10 through two lower ear plates 14, a first pin shaft 23 and a first nut 24, and hinge one end of the locking member 31 with the hopper body 10 through an upper ear plate 15, a second pin shaft 33 and a second nut 34.

[0045] Specifically, a through hole 31.1 is further provided at the lower end of the locking member 31. After the upper iron chain 40 passes through the through hole 31.1, the other end is fixedly connected to the shelf 63 of the forklift 60. The setting of the upper iron chain 40 can control the locking member 31 on the one hand, and limit the maximum angle of inclination of the hopper body 10 when dumping materials on the other hand.

[0046] Specifically, one end of the lower iron chain 50 is fixed on the clamping ring 32 , and the other end of the lower iron chain 50 is fixedly connected to the fork frame 62 of the forklift 60 . The setting of the lower iron chain 50 can effectively prevent the fork 61 from being completely withdrawn from the sleeve 21 .

[0047] In the above embodiment, the distance between the two sleeves 21 is substantially equal to the distance between the two forks 61 of the forklift 60, so that the two forks 61 can be smoothly inserted into the two sleeves 21; the lengths of the upper iron chain 40 and the lower iron chain 50 should not be too short or too long, so as to be able to connect the hopper body 10 and control the hopper body 10 to tilt to the maximum angle as the optimal length.

[0048] At the same time, the present invention also provides a method for using the forklift special bucket, such as Figure 6 As shown, the specific steps are:

[0049] S1. Install the forklift bucket onto the fork 61 at the front end of the forklift 60. The specific installation method is as follows:

[0050] S11, firstly, the two sleeves 21 of the fork connecting device 20 are respectively connected to the two forks 61 of the forklift 60,

[0051] S12, fix one end of the lower iron chain 50 to the clamp ring 32, and the other end to the fork frame 62.

[0052] S13, finally, buckle the hook 35 into the snap ring 32, and fix one end of the upper iron chain 40 to the locking member 31 through the through hole 31.3, and fix the other end to the shelf 63;

[0053] S2, the forklift 60 with the forklift hopper installed in step 1 is driven to the loading location for loading: the cargo fork 61 of the forklift 60 is controlled to move downward so that the slope edge of the hopper body 10 is close to the ground, and the forklift 60 continues to move forward, and the scattered materials are loaded into the hopper body 10 under the thrust of the forklift 60;

[0054] S3, after the hopper body 10 is loaded with materials, the fork 61 of the forklift 60 is controlled to move upward so that the hopper body 10 leaves the ground;

[0055] S4, the forklift 60 loaded with materials in step 3 is driven to the unloading location for unloading. The specific process of unloading is as follows:

[0056] S41, first control the fork 61 of the forklift 60 to move downward, so that the hopper body 10 is placed flat on the unloading platform;

[0057] S42, then pull the upper iron chain 40 upward to separate the locking member 31 from the snap ring 32;

[0058] S43, finally, the fork 61 is moved upward by a certain distance, and at the same time, the hopper body 10 is rotated and tilted by a certain angle around the lower ear plate 14 and the first pin shaft 23, so that the material in the hopper body 10 is poured out, and the unloading is completed;

[0059] S5. After the material is completely poured out, the upper iron chain 40 is pulled back to make the hopper body 10 fall back to the original horizontal position, and the fork 61 of the forklift 60 is controlled to move downward to complete the unloading process;

[0060] S6. Repeat steps S2 to S5 to repeatedly implement the cycle of loading, transporting and unloading.

[0061] In summary, the forklift bucket and its use method provided by the present invention can realize the cleaning and transportation of construction waste on the construction site without affecting the transportation of scattered materials. The special bucket and the forklift are detachably connected, and the fork connecting device 20 is sleeved on the fork 61 of the forklift, so that the forklift bucket moves with the fork; at the same time, the fork connecting device 20 is connected to the fork frame 62 of the forklift through the lower iron chain 50 to prevent the fork 61 from detaching from the sleeve 21; the bucket body 10 is connected to the forklift's backing rack 63 through the upper iron chain 40 to facilitate personnel operation and limit the flipping range of the bucket body. Through the above measures, the forklift bucket can move along the movement trajectory of the fork, thereby realizing the three actions of loading, transporting and unloading. In addition, when larger objects need to be transported, the special hopper can be removed, and the functions are expanded without affecting the original functions of the forklift. It replaces the high-cost machinery such as excavators and loaders used in the existing technology, reducing the burden on construction companies.

[0062] It should be understood that the parts not described in the specification are prior art or common knowledge. This embodiment is only used to illustrate the invention, and is not used to limit the scope of the invention. Modifications such as equivalent substitution made by those skilled in the art to the invention are considered to fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the invention.
