Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hinge pins, and in particular to a hinge pin used for a loader bucket. Background Art

[0002] The hinge pin plays a key role in the loader bucket, connecting the bucket to the loader's boom, allowing the bucket to move flexibly under various working conditions. Here are some details about the loader bucket hinge pin:

[0003] The hitch pin is usually a cylindrical metal rod with holes or grooves at both ends to connect to the bucket and boom. It is designed to withstand the impact and shear forces when the bucket moves. Hikage pins are generally made of high-strength steel or alloy materials to ensure its strength and wear resistance under high load conditions. Some hitch pins may also be heat treated to enhance their performance.

[0004] The hinge pin is used to connect the bucket to the loader's boom, allowing the bucket to swing up and down and left and right. A well-designed hinge pin allows the bucket to rotate 360 ​​degrees during operation to adapt to different work requirements. The hinge pin must be able to withstand the huge forces generated by the bucket during loading and unloading.

[0005] Articulation pins are widely used in loaders in the fields of construction, mining, agriculture, etc., undertaking heavy-duty tasks such as loading, handling and stacking.

[0006] In dusty, humid or muddy working environments, dirt, mud and other materials are easily accumulated between the hinge pin and the bucket connection of existing loader buckets. The hinge pins used in existing loader buckets are not convenient for handling and maintaining the accumulated dirt. The accumulation of dirt will cause the movement of the hinge pin to be obstructed, affecting the operating performance of the bucket. The friction between the dirt and the metal surface may accelerate the wear of the hinge pin and the bucket and shorten their service life. The accumulated dirt may absorb moisture and cause corrosion at the connection.

[0007] In summary, the prior art lacks technology for automatically maintaining and cleaning hinge pins for loader buckets. Summary of the invention
