[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0025] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0026] A portable bucket for a forklift, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a bracket 2 and a bucket 1. Slots 3 for forks to penetrate are provided at both ends of the bracket 2. The two forks on the forklift can be installed by respectively penetrating the slots 3. The bucket 1 is rotatably connected to the bracket 2. The weight of the rear end of the bucket 1, that is, the end close to the forklift, is greater than the weight of the front end, that is, the end far from the forklift, with the rotation point of the bucket 1 as the boundary. When the bucket 1 is not in use, that is, in the initial state, the bucket 1 flips backward to a horizontal state. However, the rotation point of the bucket 1 is closer to the rear end. When the bucket 1 is loaded with objects, the weight of the front end will be greater than the weight of the rear end, so that the bucket 1 tends to flip forward.
[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a block 4 is fixed on the back of the bucket 1, and a concave arc surface 5 is provided on the top of the block 4. A control frame 6 is rotatably connected to the bracket 2. When the bucket 1 is rotated to a horizontal state, the control frame 6 is clamped on the concave arc surface 5 to fix the bucket 1. The dotted small circle in the figure is the rotation trajectory of the control frame 6, and the dotted large circle is the rotation trajectory of the block 4. When the control frame 6 rotates toward the forklift, the curve of the concave arc surface 5 coincides with the rotation trajectory of the control frame 6, so the control frame 6 can slide out along the concave arc surface 5. However, when the bucket 1 flips forward, the control frame 6 blocks the rotation trajectory of the block 4. Therefore, when the control frame 6 is not out of the way, the bucket 1 cannot flip forward.
[0028] The control frame 6 is a trapezoidal steel frame, and two shaft sleeves are fixed on the bracket 2. The two ends of the control frame 6 protrude into the shaft sleeves respectively to realize rotational connection with the shaft sleeves. A driving assembly for driving the control frame 6 to rotate is also provided on the bracket 2. A driving frame 7 is provided on the top of the control frame 6. The driving frame 7 is welded and fixed to the control frame 6. The driving assembly includes a traction rope 8 connected to the driving frame 7, and the traction rope 8 is bound in the ring on the top of the driving frame 7. The driving assembly also includes a reset tension spring 9 connected between the bracket 2 and the control frame 6. The traction rope 8 is close to one side of the forklift, and the reset tension spring 9 is close to one side of the bucket 1. The staff pulls the traction rope 8 to rotate the control frame 6 in the direction of the forklift so that it escapes from the concave arc surface 5. When the staff releases the traction rope 8, the reset tension spring 9 drives the control frame 6 to rotate in the direction of the bucket 1.
[0029] A limit column 11 is vertically fixed on the bracket 2, and the limit column 11 is located between the control frame 6 and the reset spring 9. When the control frame 6 rotates to the concave arc surface 5, the control frame 6 abuts against the limit column 11. When the staff loosens the traction rope 8, the reset spring 9 drives the control frame 6 to rotate and reset. The limit column 11 is used to limit the rotation angle of the control frame 6 to prevent the control frame 6 from rotating too much toward the bucket 1, resulting in the control frame 6 being unable to return to the concave arc surface 5 when the bucket 1 is reset. The top of the limit column 11 is an arc surface setting, and both the limit column 11 and the reset spring 9 are provided with two, corresponding to the two oblique sides of the trapezoidal control frame 6.
[0030] The driving frame 7 is tilted toward the forklift. When the control frame 6 rotates to the concave arc surface 5, the driving frame 7 is in a vertical state and remains parallel to the back of the bucket 1 to avoid interference with the bucket 1.
[0031] The block 4 is triangular in shape, with the bevel of the block 4 facing the direction of the forklift, and the bevel of the block 4 is inclined from top to bottom toward the direction of the bucket 1, so that when the bucket 1 rotates to a horizontal state, the control frame 6 will directly abut against the bevel of the block 4 and slide along the bevel of the block 4 to the concave arc surface 5 to prevent the control frame 6 from being stuck.
[0032] A roller 10 is rotatably connected to the control frame 6, and the roller 10 is sleeved on the upper bottom edge of the control frame 6 and can rotate. When the control frame 6 rotates to the concave arc surface 5, the roller 10 fits with the concave arc surface 5, making it convenient for the control frame 6 to slide on the concave arc surface 5 and the bevel of the block 4.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the bracket 2 includes a platform 201, which is a vertical trapezoidal steel structure. The control frame 6 and the drive assembly are arranged on the top of the platform 201. The platform 201 is a hollow steel material. The bracket 2 also includes fork sleeves 202 respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom of the platform 201. The slot 3 is opened on the fork sleeve 202. A clearance groove 13 is opened at the bottom of the bucket 1. The front end of the fork sleeve 202 penetrates into the clearance groove 13. Since the top of the fork sleeve 202 is tilted and contracted forward, the top of the clearance groove 13 is also tilted to correspond to the fork sleeve 202. When the bucket 1 rotates to a horizontal state, the top of the clearance groove 13 is in contact with the top of the fork sleeve 202, and the bucket 1 cannot continue to flip backwards. At this time, the bottom of the fork sleeve 202 is flush with the bottom of the bucket 1, so that when the bucket 1 is placed on the ground, the bottom of the bucket 1 is directly in contact with the ground.
[0034] Rotating shafts 14 are provided on both sides of the bucket 1 . The rotating shafts 14 are respectively inserted into the fork sleeves 202 and are rotatably connected to the fork sleeves 202 , so that the bucket 1 is rotatably connected to the bracket 2 .
[0035] A buffer sheet 15 is provided on the side of the bucket 1 facing the forklift, i.e., the back side. When the bucket 1 rotates to a horizontal state, the buffer sheet 15 abuts against the bracket 2. The buffer sheet 15 is a rubber block or a sponge block. The buffer sheet 15 is squeezed first, and then the bucket 1 contacts the fork sleeve 202, so that the buffer sheet 15 receives the impact force when the bucket 1 flips over each other, avoiding direct collision with the steel structure. One piece is provided on each of the left and right sides of the back side of the bucket 1, which respectively contact the two oblique edges of the platform 201.
[0036] The working process of the utility model is as follows:
[0037] After the forklift aligns the fork with the slot 3, it moves forward so that the fork penetrates into the slot 3 to realize the connection between the forklift and the bucket 1. After the bucket 1 is used to load the object, the forklift moves to the destination, and the staff pulls the traction rope 8 to make the control frame 6 slide out from the concave arc surface 5 of the block 4, and the bucket 1 flips forward to pour out the object. At this time, the control frame 6 is first reset to the initial angle under the action of the reset tension spring 9, and then the bucket 1 flips backward to a horizontal state under the action of gravity. During the flipping process, the hypotenuse of the block 4 abuts against the roller 10 of the control frame 6, and the roller 10 moves upward along the hypotenuse to the concave arc surface 5, thereby buckling the block 4 to fix the bucket 1; when the bucket 1 needs to be disassembled, the bucket 1 is in contact with the ground when the fork moves downward, and the forklift moves backward to separate the fork from the slot 3.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the design concept of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
