It also includes: a locking mechanism, which is arranged on the fixing part 107 and is used to connect the end of the telescopic rod 108 away from the scraper 110 to the fixing part 107; a flushing mechanism, which is arranged in the installation cavity 102 and is used to flush the interior of the bucket body 101.

[0029] When some soil, sand and other adhesions are adhered to the bucket body 101 during the excavation process, the hydraulic cylinder 104 can drive the displacement plate 105 to move, and the displacement plate 105 can drive the fixing part 107 to move through the connecting rod 106. One end of the telescopic rod 108 is locked with the fixing part 107 through the locking mechanism. When the fixing part 107 moves, the telescopic rod 108 moves therewith, and the scraper 110 can be driven to move in the bucket body 101 to scrape off the adhesions adhered to the inner wall of the bucket body 101, effectively realizing automatic cleaning while the bucket unloads materials, without additional downtime for manual cleaning or external equipment cleaning, greatly improving the continuity and efficiency of the excavation operation, and when the adhesions on the inner wall of the bucket body 101 are relatively stubborn, the inside of the bucket body 101 can be flushed through the flushing mechanism to flush away the stubborn adhesions on the inner wall of the bucket body 101, and the use effect is better.

[0030] As an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The locking mechanism includes a slot 201 opened on the outer wall of one side of the fixing member 107, and the end of the telescopic rod 108 away from the scraper 110 is inserted into the slot 201, the upper surface of the fixing member 107 is fixedly provided with a vertical rod 204, and the top of the vertical rod 204 is fixedly provided with a baffle 205, the outer side of the vertical rod 204 is sleeved with a movable plate 202, and the upper surface of the movable plate 202 is fixedly provided with a handle 207, and the outer side of the vertical rod 204 is also sleeved with a spring 206, one end of the spring 206 is connected to the upper surface of the fixing member 107, and the other end of the spring 206 is connected to the lower surface of the movable plate 202, and the lower surface of the movable plate 202 is fixedly provided with a clamping rod 203 that penetrates the fixing member 107, and the outer wall of the telescopic rod 108 A clamping hole is provided, and the clamping rod 203 is inserted into the clamping hole.

When stubborn adhesions are attached to the bucket body 101, water can be supplied to the water guide pipe 704 through the water supply pipe, so that the flushing water enters the water storage cavity 702, and then is sprayed out through the water spray holes 703 and acts on the inner wall of the bucket body 101, thereby effectively realizing automatic flushing of the inside of the bucket body 101, and the use effect is better.

[0037] When in use, when some soil, sand and other adhesions are adhered to the bucket body 101 during the excavation process, the hydraulic cylinder 104 can drive the displacement plate 105 to move, and the displacement plate 105 can drive the fixing part 107 to move through the connecting rod 106, and one end of the telescopic rod 108 is locked with the fixing part 107 through the locking mechanism. When the fixing part 107 moves, the telescopic rod 108 moves therewith, and the scraper 110 can be driven to move in the bucket body 101 to scrape off the adhesions adhered to the inner wall of the bucket body 101, effectively realizing that the bucket can be automatically cleaned while unloading materials, without additional downtime for manual cleaning or external equipment cleaning, which greatly improves the continuity and efficiency of the excavation operation, and when the adhesions on the inner wall of the bucket body 101 are relatively stubborn, the inside of the bucket body 101 can be flushed through the flushing mechanism to flush away the stubborn adhesions on the inner wall of the bucket body 101, and the use effect is better.

[0038] It should be particularly noted that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
