Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a bucket with drilling function, a control method, and an excavator loader, belonging to the field of engineering machinery. Background Technology
[0002] As a multi-functional small construction machine, the backhoe loader integrates the features of a small excavator and a small loader, with its versatility being a significant advantage. However, in the same work area, not only is loading and excavation required, but drilling is sometimes also necessary. In such cases, additional drilling equipment needs to be set up in the work area, and temporary replacements can be made on-site when needed. In complex work areas, transporting drilling equipment is difficult, and the replacement operation is inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a bucket with drilling function, a control method, and an excavating loader, which solves the problems disclosed in the background art.
[0004] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a bucket with drilling function is provided, including a bucket body and a drilling tool;
[0005] The back of the bucket body is fixed with clamping parts and sliding components;
[0006] The non-drilling end of the drilling tool is hinged to the sliding component of the sliding assembly. The sliding guide of the sliding assembly includes a working section and a stationary section. When the drilling tool slides to the working section, the lifting bucket allows the drilling end of the drilling tool to directly face the drilling surface. When the drilling tool slides to the stationary section, the drilling tool is rotated, and the drill bit of the drilling tool can be clamped by the clamping component.
[0007] In some embodiments of this disclosure, both the clamping member and the sliding assembly are fixed to the rear end of the bucket body, the working section extends beyond the rear edge, and the stationary section is opposite to the clamping member.
[0008] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the sliding guide is L-shaped, with a working section on one side and a stationary section on the other side. The working section and the stationary section transition in an arc shape, and the working section is parallel to the rear edge.
[0009] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the sliding component is a locking sliding component.
[0010] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the clamping member includes a clamping block and a clamping piece that is detachably / openable and fixed to the clamping block. The clamping block is fixed to the back of the bucket body. The end of the clamping piece is notched. The clamping piece is an arched clamping piece. The notch of the clamping piece and the notch of the clamping block are joined together to form a clamping hole for clamping the drill bit.
[0011] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the non-drilling end of the drilling tool is hinged to the slider of the sliding assembly via a lockable hinge.
[0012] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the drilling tool is a hydraulic drilling tool, and the hydraulic lines of the drilling tool are connected to the hydraulic lines of the bucket body through a switching valve.
[0013] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a method for controlling a bucket is provided, the bucket being a bucket with a drilling function, the method comprising:
[0014] When drilling is required, tilt the bucket until the bucket opening is parallel to the ground, place the bucket on the ground, open the clamping parts, rotate the drilling tool to the first position, drive the drilling tool to move to the working section, and lift the bucket so that the drilling end of the drilling tool can directly face the drilling surface; wherein, the first position is the position where the drilling tool can move.
[0015] After drilling is completed, place the bucket on the ground, rotate the drilling tool to the first position, drive the drilling tool to move to the fixed section, rotate the drilling tool to the second position, and clamp the drill bit with the clamping device; wherein, the second position is the position where the clamping device can clamp the drill bit.
[0016] According to another aspect of this disclosure, an excavator loader is provided, including a bucket with a drilling function.
[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows: This invention realizes a bucket with drilling function, which can better meet the needs of agricultural fields and earthmoving operations that require multiple operations such as loading, digging and drilling at the same time. The bucket comes with drilling tools, eliminating the need to transport drilling tools separately. It can switch between stationary and working states, making it convenient to implement on the work site, reducing the time for switching between tools and improving work efficiency.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this disclosure or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0022] Unless otherwise stated, the relative arrangement of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments does not limit the scope of this disclosure.
[0023] At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual scale.
[0024] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0025] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0026] It should be noted that similar symbols and letters in the following figures represent similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.
[0027] To address the challenges of transporting drilling equipment and the low efficiency of changing it in complex work areas, this disclosure proposes a bucket with drilling function, a control method, and an excavator loader, specifically by adding a drilling function to the bucket.
[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a bucket with drilling function disclosed herein, including a bucket body 1 and a drilling tool 2. A clamping member 3 and a sliding assembly are fixed to the back of the bucket body 1. The non-drilling end of the drilling tool 2 is hinged to the sliding member of the sliding assembly. The sliding guide member 4 of the sliding assembly includes a working section 41 and a stationary section 42. When the drilling tool 2 slides to the working section 41, the bucket is lifted so that the drilling end of the drilling tool 2 can directly face the drilling surface. When the drilling tool 2 slides to the stationary section 42, the drilling tool 2 is rotated, and the drill bit of the drilling tool 2 can be clamped by the clamping member 3.
[0029] It should be noted that the bucket body 1 is the bucket of an excavator loader. To prevent interference between the drilling tool 2 and the working arm connected to the bucket body 1 (such as the inability to unfold and accommodate the drilling tool 2, or collision with the working arm during the movement of the drilling tool 2), in some embodiments, the clamping member 3 and the sliding assembly are both fixed to the rear end of the back of the bucket body 1, the working section 41 extends beyond the rear edge, and the stationary section 42 is opposite to the clamping member 3. With this arrangement, only the opening degree of the bucket body 1 needs to be adjusted to avoid interference. Of course, the drilling tool 2 can also be set on the side of the bucket body 1, but this makes it difficult to apply drilling pressure to the drilling tool 2.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the sliding guide 4 is L-shaped and can be a rod-shaped structure. The slider is a block that slides directly on the sliding guide 4. One side of the L-shaped structure is the working section 41, and the other side is the fixed section 42. The working section 41 and the fixed section 42 are arc-shaped transitions. The working section 41 is parallel to the rear edge, and the fixed section 42 is fixed to the bucket body 1. The working section 41 is fixed to the bucket body 1 through the support plate 6.
[0031] It should be noted that, to ensure stability during drilling, the sliding assembly adopts a locking type, meaning that the sliding member can be locked after moving to the desired position. Specifically, the locking sliding assembly involves installing a resilient pin on the sliding member and creating evenly spaced pin holes on the sliding guide 4. When the sliding member moves to the desired position, the pin is inserted into the pin hole to achieve locking.
[0032] Similarly, in order to further ensure stability during drilling, the non-drilling end of the drilling tool 2 is hinged to the sliding component of the sliding assembly by a lockable hinge. This not only ensures the rotation of the drilling tool 2 relative to the sliding component, but also locks the two together after rotating to a certain position, so that the drilling tool 2, the sliding assembly and the bucket body 1 form a whole.
[0033] It should be noted that there are many existing structures for the clamping member 3. In some embodiments, a simple and easy-to-operate structure is adopted, specifically including a clamping block 31 and a detachable / openable clamping piece 32 fixed on the clamping block 31. The clamping block 31 is fixed on the back of the bucket body 1. The end of the clamping piece 32 fixed by the clamping block 31 has a notch. The clamping piece 32 is an arched clamping piece. The notch of the clamping piece 32 and the notch of the clamping block 31 are joined together to form a clamping hole for clamping the drill bit. The drill bit is clamped through the clamping hole.
[0034] To prevent the clamping hole from colliding hard with the drill bit, some cushioning rubber can be fixed inside the notch to protect the drill bit.
[0035] It should be noted that the drilling tool 2 mentioned above is a hydraulic drilling tool. The drilling tool 2 can use a separate hydraulic pipeline, that is, the hydraulic pipeline of the drilling tool 2 is not related to the hydraulic pipeline of the bucket body 1. However, in order to save costs, the hydraulic pipeline of the drilling tool 2 can be connected to the hydraulic pipeline of the bucket body 1 through the switching valve 5. The switching valve 5 can be a manual switching type or an electric switching type.
[0036] In addition to its conventional functions, the aforementioned bucket body 1 also features a drilling function, which can better meet the needs of agricultural fields and earthmoving operations that require multiple operations such as loading, digging, and drilling simultaneously.
[0037] The bucket comes with a drilling tool 2, eliminating the need to transport the drilling tool 2 separately. It can switch between stationary and working states, making it convenient to implement on-site, reducing the time spent switching between tools and improving work efficiency.
[0038] Based on the same technical solution, the present invention also discloses the above-mentioned bucket control method, specifically including:
[0039] When drilling is required, flip the bucket until the bucket opening is parallel to the ground, place the bucket on the ground, open the clamping part 3, rotate the drilling tool 2 to the first position, drive the drilling tool 2 to move to the working section 41, lift the bucket, and because of the hinge, the drilling tool 2 can rotate around the working section 41 at this time, and the drilling end of the drilling tool 2 can directly face the drilling surface; wherein, the first position is the position when the drilling tool 2 can move.
[0040] It should be noted that the working position of drilling tool 2 can be determined according to the actual situation, such as... Figure 2 and 3 As shown, when working in the middle of working section 41, the drilling tool 2 only needs to be moved to the middle of working section 41; when working on the side of working section 41, the drilling tool 2 only needs to be moved to the side of working section 41.
[0041] After drilling is completed, release the locking of the drilling tool 2 and place the bucket on the ground. At this time, the drilling tool 2 can rotate around the working section 41. Rotate the drilling tool 2 to the first position, drive the drilling tool 2 to move to the fixed section 42, rotate the drilling tool 2 to the second position, and clamp the drill bit with the clamping member 3. The second position is the position where the clamping member 3 can clamp the drill bit.
[0042] It should be noted that since both the bucket and the drilling tool 2 will generate vibration during operation, in order to reduce malfunctions, the opening of the clamping part 3, the rotation of the drilling tool 2, the movement of the drilling tool 2, and the locking are all done manually. Of course, if there is a stable drive device, the opening of the clamping part 3, the rotation of the drilling tool 2, the movement of the drilling tool 2, and the locking can also be set to automatic mode. Specifically, it is driven by a drive device. This type of drive is a relatively common structure, which will not be described in detail here.
[0043] Based on the same technical solution, this invention also discloses an excavator loader, specifically including a bucket with drilling function, which replaces the existing bucket with the aforementioned bucket with drilling function. This improves the existing excavator loader, enabling it to perform multiple functions in one machine. During operation, it eliminates the need for separate transportation and disassembly of the drilling tool 2, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.
[0044] 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.
