[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] The present invention provides a device for loading and unloading materials, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, it comprises: a cylinder 1, a rotating member 2, a first locking member 3, a second locking member 5, a flap 4 and a plurality of lifting ears 6, the cylinder 1 is provided with a top opening and a bottom opening arranged opposite to each other; the rotating member 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the cylinder 1; the first locking member 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the bottom of the cylinder 1 away from the rotating member 2; one end of the flap 4 is rotatably connected to the cylinder 1 through the rotating member 2; the second locking member 5 is arranged on the side of the flap 4 away from the rotating member 2, and the second locking member 5 is used to be detachably fixedly connected to the first locking member 3 so that the flap 4 can be closed or Open the bottom opening; each lifting lug 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the cylinder 1, and the lifting lug 6 is used to connect with the lifting equipment 7. The top opening and bottom opening are arranged relatively to each other, which clarifies the path of materials entering and exiting the device. Such a layout plays a key role in the smooth progress of the material loading and unloading process, so that materials can be easily stored in the device from the top opening, and can be unloaded from the bottom opening when needed, which greatly improves the logic and continuity of the loading and unloading operations. The reasonable setting of the rotating member 2 ensures that the flap 4 and the cylinder 1 can be stably connected in rotation. This means that the flap 4 can rotate around a certain position at the bottom of the cylinder 1 in a controllable manner, providing a movement basis for the opening and closing of the bottom opening, and ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the flipping process. The design of the detachable fixed connection between the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 is very clever. When there is no need to load or unload materials, they can be tightly connected so that the flap 4 can effectively close the bottom opening to prevent accidental leakage of materials; in the unloading stage, the operator can easily disconnect the two, allowing the flap 4 to smoothly open the bottom opening and efficiently complete the unloading operation, which greatly enhances the flexibility and convenience of the device during use. Multiple lifting ears 6 are fixed on the top of the outer wall of the cylinder 1, providing a reliable way to connect the device with the lifting equipment 7. With these lifting ears 6, the device can be conveniently and safely docked with various lifting equipment 7, and the entire device can be lifted to the designated working position by the lifting equipment 7, which greatly expands the scope of use of the device, meets the application requirements of different work sites and working conditions, and effectively improves the versatility and adaptability of the equipment in various environments.

[0029] In a preferred solution of the present embodiment, the rotating member 2 includes a fixed plate 21, a first sleeve 22, a second sleeve 23 and a rotating shaft 24. The fixed plate 21 is used to be fixedly connected to the cylinder body 1. The first sleeve 22 and the second sleeve 23 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the bottom of the fixed plate 21, and the first sleeve 22 and the second sleeve 23 are coaxially arranged. The two ends of the rotating shaft 24 are respectively inserted into the first sleeve 22 and the second sleeve 23. The middle part of the rotating shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the flap 4, and is fixedly connected to the cylinder body 1 through the fixed plate 21, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating member 2. The coaxial arrangement of the first sleeve 22 and the second sleeve 23 provides a stable rotation support for the rotating shaft 24, making the rotation of the flap 4 more stable and smooth. The middle part of the rotating shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the flap 4, which can accurately transmit the rotational power, ensure that the flap 4 rotates reliably around the fixed axis, and improve the stability and reliability of the unloading process.

[0030] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, the first locking member 3 is a hooking shaft, and the second locking member 5 is a hook. The hooking shaft is used to be fixedly connected to the cylinder 1, and the hook is rotatably connected to the flap 4, and the hook can be hooked to the fixed shaft so that the flap 4 closes the bottom opening. The combination of the hooking shaft and the hook is used as the locking member, which has a simple structure and reliable connection. The hooking shaft is fixed to the cylinder 1, providing a fixed point for the hook, and the hook is rotatably connected to the flap 4. When the bottom opening needs to be closed or opened, the hooking or disengaging operation can be easily realized. This simple and effective structure reduces the difficulty of operation and improves the efficiency of loading and unloading.

[0031] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, the device for loading and unloading materials further includes a limiting ring, which is fixedly connected to the end of the hook shaft away from the cylinder 1 to limit the hook from sliding out of the end of the hook fixing shaft away from the cylinder 1. The setting of the limiting ring further improves the safety and stability of the device. It can prevent the hook from sliding out of the hook shaft due to unexpected circumstances during the operation of the device, ensure the reliability of the flap 4 when closing the bottom opening, avoid accidental leakage of materials during loading and unloading, and reduce safety hazards.

[0032] In a preferred scheme of the present embodiment, the cylinder 1 is made of a spiral welded pipe with a thickness of 0.8 cm, a length of 100 cm and a diameter of 180 cm. By selecting a spiral welded pipe of such thickness, length and diameter, while ensuring the structural strength of the cylinder 1 and being able to withstand the weight of the materials and the external forces during the lifting process, the cost factor is also taken into consideration. Spiral welded pipes of this specification are relatively common and easy to obtain, which reduces the production cost and improves the cost performance of the device.

[0033] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, the flap 4 is made of a steel plate with a thickness of 0.8 cm and a diameter of 181 cm. The 181 cm diameter circular plate made of a steel plate with a thickness of 0.8 cm has a certain strength to carry materials, but does not increase the overall weight of the device and the difficulty of operation due to being too thick. The design of the circular plate allows the flap 4 to be well adapted to the bottom opening of the cylinder 1, and can achieve a good sealing effect when closing the bottom opening, reducing the possibility of material leakage.

[0034] In a preferred solution of the present embodiment, the rotating shaft 24 is made of solid steel with a diameter of 1 cm, the first sleeve 22 and the second sleeve 23 are both made of seamless pipes with a diameter of 1.5 cm and a thickness of 0.5 cm, and the fixed plate 21 is made of a steel plate with a thickness of 1 cm and is fixedly connected to the cylinder 1 by standard bolts of M20, so that the rotating shaft 24 has sufficient strength and rigidity to transmit the rotational force and ensure the smooth rotation of the flap 4. The first sleeve 22 and the second sleeve 23 are made of seamless pipes of specific specifications, which provide good support and sliding space for the rotating shaft 24. The fixed plate 21 is connected to the cylinder 1 by standard bolts, which is not only convenient to install, but also can ensure the firmness of the connection. The structure of the entire rotating part 2 is stable and reliable, which prolongs the service life of the device.

[0035] In a preferred solution of the present embodiment, the ears are made of a steel plate with a thickness of 2 cm, and there are two ears 6. The two ears 6 are welded diagonally about the cylinder 1, and the ears 6 are 10 cm away from the upper edge of the cylinder 1. The 2 cm thick steel plate ensures the strength of the ears 6, which can withstand the external force during the hoisting of the hoisting equipment 7. The diagonal welding of the two ears 6 makes the device more evenly stressed during the hoisting process, and is less likely to shake and tilt, thereby improving the stability of the hoisting. The setting of 10 cm away from the upper edge of the cylinder 1 meets ergonomics and actual operation requirements, facilitates the accurate hooking of the hoisting equipment 7, and further improves the convenience and efficiency of the hoisting operation.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] This embodiment also provides a device for loading and unloading materials as in any one of the first embodiments, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0038] 1. Preparation before loading materials

[0039] 1. Device in place: According to the requirements of the material loading and unloading site, use the lifting equipment 7 to connect with the lifting equipment 7 through the lifting lug 6 on the top of the outer wall of the device cylinder 1, and lift the device to a suitable location. Since the lifting lug 6 is made of a 2cm thick steel plate, the two lifting lugs 6 are welded diagonally to the cylinder 1 and are 10cm away from the upper edge of the cylinder 1. This design ensures that the device is evenly stressed during the lifting process, and facilitates the accurate hooking of the lifting equipment 7.

[0040] 2. Check the device: carefully check whether the connection of each component of the device is stable. Check whether the fixed plate 21 in the rotating part 2 is firmly connected to the cylinder 1 through the M20 standard bolt; whether the flap 4 is reliably fixed to the rotating shaft 24; whether the connection between the first locking part 3 hanging shaft and the cylinder 1, and the second locking part 5 hook and flap 4 is loose, and whether the limit ring normally restricts the hook from sliding off the hanging shaft. In addition, the structural integrity of the cylinder 1 and the flap 4 should be checked to ensure that there is no damage.

[0041] 3. Material loading process

[0042] Ensure that the hook of the second locking member 5 is hooked on the hooking shaft of the first locking member 3, so that the flap 4 closes the bottom opening of the cylinder 1 to prevent material leakage during loading. Since the hook is rotatably connected to the flap 4 and can be hooked on the hooking shaft, and the limit ring prevents the hook from accidentally sliding out, the closure of the flap 4 is very reliable. The material is loaded into the device through the top opening of the cylinder 1.

[0043] 2. Material unloading process

[0044] 1. Transfer to the unloading location: After the material is loaded, the lifting equipment 7 is used again to lift the device to the unloading location through the lifting lugs 6.

[0045] 2. Open the bottom opening: Disconnect the hook of the second locking member 5 from the hooking shaft of the first locking member 3. Since one end of the flap 4 is rotatably connected to the cylinder 1 through the rotating member 2 composed of the fixed plate 21, the first sleeve 22, the second sleeve 23 and the rotating shaft 24, after the hook is disconnected, the flap 4 can rotate around the rotating shaft 24 under the assistance of gravity or external force to open the bottom opening. Among them, the fixed plate 21 is fixed to the cylinder 1 to ensure the stability of the rotating member 2, and the first sleeve 22 and the second sleeve 23 are coaxially arranged and support the rotating shaft 24, so that the rotating shaft 24 rotates smoothly, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the flap 4.

[0046] 3. Unloading materials: The materials are unloaded from the bottom opening. After unloading, the flap 4 is turned back to the initial position of closing the bottom opening, and the second locking member 5 is hooked on the hooking shaft of the first locking member 3 again, completing a material loading and unloading operation cycle, and the next material loading and unloading can be carried out.

[0047] During the entire use process, the cylinder 1 is made of a spiral welded pipe with a thickness of 0.8 cm, a length of 100 cm, and a diameter of 180 cm. The flap 4 is made of a steel plate with a thickness of 0.8 cm and a diameter of 181 cm. This choice ensures that the device can withstand the weight of a certain amount of material, and the circular plate can better fit the bottom opening of the cylinder 1 to ensure smooth loading and unloading.

[0048] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
