Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a concrete pumping hopper, which is mainly suitable for commercial concrete pumping construction during construction site, and is mainly used for splash protection of the pumping hopper during construction and concrete residue collection of the pumping hopper after the construction is completed. Background Art
[0002] The development process of concrete pumps is from piston type to extrusion type and then to piston type, from mechanical type to hydraulic type, from fixed type to towed type and then to vehicle-mounted type. At present, the development of concrete pump trucks continues to move towards environmental protection and energy saving, structural optimization, lightweight, automation, intelligence, and digitalization. In the direction of environmental protection and energy saving, the following problems need to be solved first:
[0003] (1) How to prevent leaves, paper scraps, plastic film and other debris from falling into the hopper during the pumping process, thus affecting the quality of concrete?
[0004] (2) During the feeding process of the hopper mixing mechanism, the concrete in the hopper is easy to splash, resulting in material waste;
[0005] (3) After completion, there is often concrete residue on the inner wall of the hopper. If it is cleaned directly through the discharge port, it will cause a lot of material waste.
[0006] In view of the above problems, it is urgent to invent a simple and effective concrete pumping hopper to reduce the impact of air debris falling into the hopper on quality, collect concrete residues for reuse, and achieve green environmental protection. Utility Model Content
