Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportional relationships, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives that the present invention can produce, should fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention. It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.
[0022] This embodiment provides a side-discharge shovel system for a shovel loader, including a bucket body 1, a connecting frame 2, a connecting pin 3, a side-discharge cylinder 4, and a side baffle 5. A pin holder I 6 and a pin holder II 7 are provided on the back of the bucket body 1. Pin holders I 8 and II 9 are provided on both sides of the connecting frame 2. Pin holder I 8 is used to engage with pin holder I 6, and pin holder II 9 is used to engage with pin holder II 7. The connecting pin 3 passes through the engaging pin holders I 6 and I 8, allowing the bucket body 1 and the connecting frame 2 to rotate and connect. The front end of the side-discharge cylinder 4 is hinged to the outer side of the bucket body 1 and is located on the axis of symmetry of pin holders I 6 and II 7. The rear end of the side-discharge cylinder 4 is hinged to the connecting frame 2 and is located between pin holders I 8 and II 9. The side baffle 5 is located on the same side as pin holders II 7 and II 9, closing the opening of the bucket body 1 on the side of pin holder II 7.
[0023] The aforementioned side-discharge shovel system uses a side-discharge hydraulic cylinder 4 to drive the bucket body 1, which rotates around the pin cylinder I 8 and swings left and right relative to the connecting frame 2 to adjust the unloading angle. This is achieved through a head-swing mechanism, not a head-swinging mechanism. Material inside the bucket body 1 is discharged from the opening on the side of the pin cylinder frame I 6. When the shovel and the loading vehicle operate parallel in narrow underground mine tunnels, the material in the bucket body 1 can be poured into the loading vehicle without repeated adjustments to the shovel's posture and position. This system is particularly suitable for construction in narrow underground tunnels, tunnel openings, connecting tunnels, widening sidewalls, and opening reverse access points.
[0024] When pin holder I6 and pin holder I8 point to the left, the bucket body 1 unloads material from the left side; when pin holder I6 and pin holder I8 point to the right (as shown in the figure), the bucket body 1 unloads material from the right side.
[0025] The above-mentioned under-floor side-discharge shovel system also includes a guide plate 10; the guide plate 10 is set on the same side as the pin frame I6 and the pin cylinder I8, and is connected to the opening of the bucket body 1 on the side of the pin frame I6 (i.e. the unloading port of the bucket body 1).
[0026] In the aforementioned underbody machine side-discharge shovel system, the side baffle 5 and the guide plate 10 are both connected to the bucket body 1 by bolts. This detachable connection allows for switching between left-side and right-side discharge on the bucket body 1.
[0027] In the above-mentioned under-dump shovel system, the bottom surface of the bucket body 1 is provided with a wear-resistant plate 11, and the wear-resistant plate 11 is provided with bucket teeth 12.
[0028] In the above-mentioned under-dump shovel system, a hydraulic cylinder connecting frame 13 is provided on the outer side of the bucket body 1; the hydraulic cylinder connecting frame 13 is located between the pin frame I6 and the pin frame II7, and is hinged to the front end of the side-dump hydraulic cylinder 4.
[0029] In the above-mentioned under-floor side-discharge shovel system, lifting rings 14 are provided on the outer side of the bucket body 1 and the outer side of the cylinder connecting frame 13 to facilitate the hoisting of the bucket body 1.
[0030] In the above-mentioned under-floor side-discharge shovel system, the rear end of the connecting frame 2 is provided with a connecting part 15 that cooperates with the quick-change device.
[0031] When the above-mentioned undercarriage machine side-discharge shovel system is working, the piston of the side-discharge cylinder 4 extends, the bucket body 1 is pushed out for unloading, the piston of the side-discharge cylinder 4 retracts, the bucket body 1 returns to its original position, the pin holder II7 is locked outside the pin cylinder II9, and collisions and impacts will occur between the bucket body 1 and the connecting frame 2, and between the pin holder II7 and the pin cylinder II9. In order to achieve buffering, the following hydraulic control circuit is also designed in this embodiment.
[0032] The aforementioned underfloor side-discharge shovel system also includes a hydraulic oil tank 16, a hydraulic pump 17, a three-position four-way directional valve 18, a two-position three-way directional valve 19, an accumulator 20, a switching valve 21, a proximity switch 22, and a controller 23. The inlet of the hydraulic pump 17 is connected to the hydraulic oil tank 16, and the outlet of the hydraulic pump 17 is connected to the P port of the three-position four-way directional valve 18. The A port of the three-position four-way directional valve 18 is connected to the rod chamber of the side-discharge cylinder 4, and the rodless chamber of the side-discharge cylinder 4 is connected to the A port of the two-position three-way directional valve 19. The P port of 19 is connected to the B port of the three-position four-way directional valve 18. The T port of the three-position four-way directional valve 18 is connected back to the hydraulic oil tank 16. The T port of the two-position three-way directional valve 19, the interface of the accumulator 20, and the A port of the switching valve 21 are connected together. The B port of the switching valve 21 is connected back to the hydraulic oil tank 16. The proximity switch 22 is used to detect the distance between the bucket body 1 and the connecting frame 2. The control terminals of the three-position four-way directional valve 18, the two-position three-way directional valve 19, the switching valve 21, and the proximity switch 22 are all connected to the controller 23.
[0033] Under normal conditions, the three-position four-way directional valve 18 is in the middle position (P, T, A, and B ports are all closed), the two-position three-way directional valve 19 is in the left position (P port is closed, A and T ports are connected), and the switch valve 21 is in the left position (A and B ports are connected). When the bucket body 1 is unloading, the controller 23 controls the three-position four-way directional valve 18 to be in the left position (P and B ports are connected, T and A ports are connected), and the two-position three-way directional valve 19 to be in the right position (P and A ports are connected, T port is closed). The working oil is pumped by the hydraulic pump 17 to the P port of the three-position four-way directional valve 18, enters the P port of the two-position three-way directional valve 19 from the B port of the three-position four-way directional valve 18, and enters the rodless chamber of the side unloading cylinder 4 from the A port of the two-position three-way directional valve 19, pushing the piston to extend. The working oil in the rod chamber of the side unloading cylinder 4 flows back to the hydraulic oil tank 16 from the A and T ports of the three-position four-way directional valve 18. When the bucket body 1 is reset and the starting distance of the proximity switch 22 has not been reached, the controller 23 controls the three-position four-way directional valve 18 to be in the right position (P port connected to A port, T port connected to B port), and the two-position three-way directional valve 19 to be in the left position (P port closed, A port connected to T port). The working oil is pumped by the hydraulic pump 17 to the P port of the three-position four-way directional valve 18, and enters the rod chamber of the side unloading cylinder 4 through the A port of the three-position four-way directional valve 18. The working oil in the rodless chamber of the side unloading cylinder 4 enters the T port through the A port of the two-position three-way directional valve 19, and then enters the rod chamber through the opening... The oil flows back to the hydraulic tank 16 through ports A and B of valve 21, enabling rapid piston retraction. When the distance between the bucket body 1 and the connecting frame 2 reaches the activation distance of proximity switch 22, proximity switch 22 is activated. Controller 23 receives the signal and controls switch valve 21 to the right position (ports A and B are disconnected). The working oil in the rodless chamber of the side unloading cylinder 4 flows into the accumulator 20 from port T of the two-position three-way directional valve 19, slowing down the piston retraction speed and reducing the collision impact between the bucket body 1 and the connecting frame 2, and between the pin holder II 7 and the pin holder II 9. After the bucket body 1 is reset, controller 23 controls the three-position four-way directional valve 18 to the middle position and switch valve 21 to the left position. The working oil in the accumulator 20 flows back to the hydraulic tank 16 through switch valve 21.
[0034] The aforementioned undercarriage side-discharge shovel system also includes an overflow valve 24; the inlet of the overflow valve 24, the T port of the two-position three-way directional valve 19, the interface of the accumulator 20, and the A port of the switching valve 21 are connected together, and the outlet of the overflow valve 24 is connected back to the hydraulic oil tank 16. During the slow retraction of the piston, when the oil pressure in the hydraulic control circuit exceeds the safety value, it flows back to the hydraulic oil tank 16 from the overflow valve 24.
[0035] The aforementioned undercarriage side-discharge shovel system also includes an inlet oil filter 25, an inlet oil check valve 26, a return oil filter 27, a return oil check valve 28, and a hydraulic pump drive motor 29. The hydraulic oil tank 16 is connected to the inlet of the inlet oil filter 25, the outlet of the inlet oil filter 25 is connected to the inlet of the inlet oil check valve 26, and the outlet of the inlet oil check valve 26 is connected to the inlet of the hydraulic pump 17. The T port of the three-position four-way directional valve 18, the B port of the switching valve 21, and the outlet of the overflow valve 24 converge and are connected to the inlet of the return oil check valve 28. The outlet of the return oil check valve 28 is connected to the inlet of the return oil filter 27, and the outlet of the return oil filter 27 is connected back to the hydraulic oil tank 16. The hydraulic pump drive motor 29 is connected to the hydraulic pump 17 and is controlled by the controller 23 to drive the hydraulic pump 17 to work.
[0036] By installing a check valve and a filter, the backflow of the working oil is prevented, and the working oil is filtered to keep it clean.
