In order to solve the above technical problems, the end of the fixing pin is fixed on the hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic cylinder is used to drive the fixing pin. The utility model proposes a quick-change bucket control circuit, which controls the oil supplied to the hydraulic cylinder through an electromagnetic valve to control the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder, thereby controlling the loading and unloading of the fixing pin to achieve quick change of the bucket. Compared with the existing wireless communication control, the signal transmission using the circuit has stronger signal stability and real-time performance, and does not need to rely on the network.
