One end of each of the four sets of snake-bone components is located at a corner of the flexible fire-receiving bucket body, and the other end converges at the bottom of the column. Connecting ropes are fixedly installed at the top of each of the four sets of snake-bone components. One end of each of the four connecting ropes is fixedly connected to the four sets of snake-bone components, and the other end of the four connecting ropes converges at the top of the column to form a knot. The connecting ropes between the snake-bone components and the column are shortened or lengthened through the knots, and then the connecting ropes drive the snake-bone components to bend or straighten, thereby constricting or unfolding the flexible fire-receiving bucket body.

[0006] Preferably, the flexible fire-receiving hopper body is made of fireproof cloth.

[0007] Preferably, the snake bone assembly includes a square tube with a rectangular ring-shaped cross-section. There are multiple square tubes, and the tops of the multiple square tubes are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the flexible fire-receiving bucket body.

Two first slots are machined on both sides of the base block, and the first slots penetrate the base block. A second slot is machined on the locking block corresponding to the position of the first slot. The connecting rope passes through the first slot and the second slot, and the first slot and the second slot clamp and fix the connecting rope. There are two locking assemblies, and they are fixedly connected to each other. The two locking assemblies are mirror-symmetrical. Four connecting ropes pass through the four first slots and the four second slots of the two locking assemblies respectively.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting groove is machined on the top of the column near the side position corresponding to the connecting rope, and the connecting rope is located in the limiting groove.

[0013] Preferably, a lifting ring is rotatably provided at the top of the column.

[0014] Preferably, corner blocks are provided near the four corners of the flexible fire-receiving bucket body.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this invention provides a flexible fire-catching bucket, including a flexible fire-catching bucket body 1. When fully unfolded, the flexible fire-catching bucket body 1 is in the shape of a rectangular box. For example, the flexible fire-catching bucket body 1 can be made of fireproof cloth, which can be cut and sewn to form a rectangular box shape. A column 12 is fixedly installed at the center of the flexible fire-catching bucket body 1, and the column 12 is fixedly connected to the flexible fire-catching bucket body 1 by screws. A snake-bone assembly 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the flexible fire-catching bucket body 1. The snake-bone assembly 3 is arranged in a straight line and can only bend in one direction. In this embodiment, the snake-bone assembly 3 bends towards the converging direction of the flexible fire-catching bucket body 1. There are four sets of snake-bone assemblies 3. One end of each set of snake-bone assemblies 3 is located at a corner of the flexible fire-catching bucket body 1, and the other end converges at the bottom of the column 12. That is, the four sets of snake-bone assemblies 3 are located on the diagonal of the rectangular bottom of the flexible fire-catching bucket body 1. Four sets of snake-bone components 3 are fixedly mounted with connecting ropes 4 at the top of the corners of the flexible welding bucket body 1. The connecting ropes 4 can be made of steel wire rope. One end of each of the four connecting ropes 4 is fixedly connected to one of the four sets of snake-bone components 3, and the other ends converge at the top of the column 12 to form a knot. The four connecting ropes 4 can be knotted to form a knot, and pulling the knot will simultaneously pull all four connecting ropes 4. Specifically, the knots shorten or lengthen the connecting ropes 4 located between the snake-bone components 3 and the column 12, and then the connecting ropes 4 cause the snake-bone components 3 to bend or straighten, thus retracting or extending the flexible welding bucket body 1. This flexible welding bucket can be extended or retracted, and compared to existing welding buckets, its dimensions can be changed, making it easy to carry and saving space when retracted. This flexible welding bucket is suitable for scenarios such as welding at heights, high-altitude welding, and cantilever welding, reducing construction and transportation difficulties.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the snake-bone component 3 includes a square tube 31 with a rectangular annular cross-section. The tops of multiple square tubes 31 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the flexible fire-receiving bucket body 1. The multiple square tubes 31 are arranged in a straight line, adjacent to each other, on the unfolded bottom surface of the fire-receiving bucket body. The multiple square tubes 31 and the flexible fire-receiving bucket body 1 can be fixedly connected by screws or adhesive. In this embodiment, the tops of the multiple square tubes 31 are provided with threaded mounting holes 311, and screws are used to fix the square tubes 31 to the flexible fire-receiving bucket body 1. When the flexible fire-receiving bucket is unfolded, the multiple square tubes 31 are arranged in a straight line, adjacent to each other, providing stable support for the flexible fire-receiving bucket.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, furthermore, a fixing block 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the flexible fire-receiving hopper on the column 12. The fixing block 7 is rectangular in shape, and the flexible fire-receiving hopper body 1 is located between the fixing block 7 and the column 12. The fixing block 7, the flexible fire-receiving hopper body 1, and the column 12 are fixedly connected by screws. The four sides of the fixing block 7 are respectively attached to the square tubes 31 of the four sets of straight snake-bone assemblies 3, and the fixing block 7 provides support for the four sets of straight snake-bone assemblies 3.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, furthermore, connecting strips 8 are fixedly installed on the top of multiple square tubes 31 of a set of snake-bone components 3. The connecting strips 8 are in a straight line shape. Multiple square tubes 31 of a set of snake-bone components 3 can be glued sequentially to the straight connecting strips 8, with four connecting strips 8 corresponding to four sets of snake-bone components 3. In this way, during formal installation, the four sets of snake-bone components 3 can be quickly fixed and installed to the flexible fire-receiving hopper body 1, improving installation efficiency and installation accuracy.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a locking assembly 6 is provided at the position between the top of the column 12 and the node for the connecting rope 4. The locking assembly 6 includes a base block 61, and a groove 611 is machined on one side of the base block 61. A spring 63 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the groove 611 near both sides. A locking block 62 is slidably installed inside the groove 611, and the locking block 62 extends outside the groove 611. One end of the spring 63 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the groove 611, and the other end of the spring 63 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the locking block 62. Two first slots 612 are machined on both sides of the base block 61, and the first slots 612 penetrate the base block 61. A second slot 621 is machined on the locking block 62 at the corresponding position of the first slots 612. The connecting rope 4 passes through the first slots 612 and the second slots 621, and the first slots 612 and the second slots 621 clamp and fix the connecting rope 4. There are two locking components 6, which are fixedly connected by adhesive. The two locking components 6 are mirror-symmetrical. Four connecting ropes 4 pass through the four first slots 612 and second slots 621 of the two locking components 6 respectively. When the locking blocks 62 of the two locking components 6 are pressed simultaneously, the two locking blocks 62 move towards each other, thereby unlocking the four connecting ropes 4. The locking components 6 and the connecting ropes 4 work together. By changing the length of the four connecting ropes 4 between the snake-bone component 3 and the column 12, the bending degree of the snake-bone component 3 can be controlled, thereby controlling the unfolding size of the flexible welding bucket. This allows the flexible welding bucket to be placed in place even in narrow welding spaces, making it highly adaptable.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, based on the above embodiment, a limiting groove 21 is machined on the top of the column 12 near the side position corresponding to the connecting rope 4, and the connecting rope 4 is located in the limiting groove 21. The limiting groove 21 can restrict the connecting rope 4, prevent it from swinging left and right, and facilitate the unfolding and retraction of the flexible fire-receiving bucket.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a lifting ring 5 is rotatably installed at the top of the column 12. The lifting ring 5 facilitates suspending the flexible welding hopper under the beam or under the opening where welding is to be carried out.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the above embodiment, corner blocks 11 are provided near the four corners of the flexible fire-receiving bucket body 1. The bottom of the corner blocks 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the snake bone assembly 3, and the corner blocks 11 can be fixedly connected to the square tube 31 by screws. A fixing ring 12 is fixedly provided on the top of the corner blocks 11, and one end of the connecting rope 4 is connected to the fixing ring 12. The corner blocks 11 provide certain support for the sides of the flexible fire-receiving bucket body 1 and provide counterweight for the flexible fire-receiving bucket body 1, helping the flexible fire-receiving bucket body 1 to unfold smoothly.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the flexible fire-connecting bucket is suspended in the place where welding is to be performed by means of the lifting ring 5. (1) When the flexible fire-connecting bucket is to be used, firstly, press the locking block 62 on the two locking components 6 so that the four connecting ropes 4 are in an active state. Then, the four corner blocks 11 drive the four connecting ropes 4 to move under the action of gravity, so that the length of the four connecting ropes 4 between the snake bone component 3 and the column 12 becomes longer until the four snake bone components 3 are all in a nearly vertical state with the column 12. The four snake bone components 3 and the fixing block 7 cooperate to provide rigid support for the flexible fire-connecting bucket body 1. Finally, release the locking block 62 on the two locking components 6. The locking block 62 resets under the action of the spring 63 and clamps the four connecting ropes 4 again. At this time, the flexible fire-connecting bucket is in a fully unfolded state. (2) In order to adapt to the narrow welding area, when it is necessary to change the degree of unfolding of the flexible welding bucket, the length of the four connecting ropes 4 between the snake bone component 3 and the column 12 can be changed by pulling the knot and locking component 6. This will adjust the degree of unfolding of the flexible welding bucket.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the patent. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and all such changes should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
