[0061] This invention provides a quick loading and unloading solution for a spade, offering an auxiliary support for the spade and solving the problems of storage and quick loading and unloading of the spade.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the spade shovel 3 is positioned above the third axle of the rescue vehicle 1 during transport and storage, and is fixed in the following manner: Figure 2 As shown, the spade 3 is placed upside down on top of the auxiliary support 4 with its teeth facing upwards. A lifting point 301 is added to one side of the spade teeth of the spade 3. This facilitates installation and placement while reducing the need for secondary adjustments during use. The lifting point 301 is located on the center of gravity plane of the spade 3, ensuring that the installation chambers I 302 and II 303 are in a horizontal state after the spade 3 is lifted. This facilitates docking and installation with the support arm 201, which is also in a horizontal state. Placing the spade 3 with its teeth facing upwards reduces the difficulty of fixing the spade 3 and also avoids damage to other parts of the rescue vehicle and its teeth caused by the spade teeth. The auxiliary support 4 is fixed to the top of the rescue vehicle 1 with bolts.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary support 4 in this invention can be fixed to the rescue vehicle 1 with bolts through the mounting holes on the base plate 404. The guide support 402 is designed as a conical support, which plays a guiding role when storing the spade 3. The column 401 plays a limiting role after the spade 3 is placed. The support plate 403 plays a major supporting role for the spade 3.

Figure 3 As shown.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, during the installation of the spade 3, the crane 101 on the rescue vehicle 1 is connected to the lifting point 301 of the spade 3 using a wire rope or sling. The spade 3 is lifted until the installation chamber I 302 and the installation chamber II 303 are axially and horizontally aligned with the support arm 201. Then, the crane 101 is adjusted to install the spade 3 on the support arm 201.

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, as the tilting cylinder 202 retracts and the traction arm 2 enters the tilting position, the spade 3 moves horizontally along with the support arm 201; as... Figure 7As shown, with the extension of the tilting cylinder 202, the spade 3, along with the support arm 201, reaches the unfolded position. Then, with the extension of the unfolding cylinder 203, the spade 3, along with the support arm 201, reaches the unfolded state position, and then the spade 3 is fixed in place. Figure 8 As shown. During the entire deployment process of the support arm 2, the spade 3 remains attached to the upper part of the support arm 201 under the action of gravity, and will not fall off, causing damage to personnel or equipment.

[0066] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0067] 1. The quick-release structure of the spade shovel of the present invention is simple and easy to use;

[0068] 2. The placement posture of the spade is convenient for installation, eliminating the need for secondary adjustment of the spade's posture and solving the risks associated with manual assistance in flipping the spade a second time;

[0069] 3. The tapered guide bracket above the auxiliary support facilitates the loading and unloading of the spade shovel;

[0070] 4. The grooved plate on the auxiliary support guides the spade, making it easier to fix the spade in place;

[0071] 5. The present invention allows the spade to be installed in a retracted state, which reduces the requirements for the boom length and lifting performance of the crane on the rescue vehicle, and reduces the installation time and the number of personnel required.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
