The protective shell 8 is connected to the bucket 1 through a support, and the support is welded and fixed to the bucket 1. The rotation of the lock body 6 is controlled by the opening and closing of the electromagnetic switch, so as to realize the locking and unlocking states of the lock tongue 6b and the lock hook 5; specifically, the electromagnetic switch is powered on and started, one end of the adsorption fork 6c rotates and droops, and the lock tongue 6b rotates upward and locks with the lock hook 5, and the electromagnetic switch is powered off and closed, one end of the adsorption fork 6c rotates upward, and the lock tongue 6b rotates and droops to disengage from the lock hook 5.

[0030] Working mode of the utility model:

[0031] 1. Under normal circumstances, the bucket door 2 and the bucket mouth of the bucket 1 are in a locked state, that is, the free end of the driving member 7 is in an extended state, that is, the free end is extended to push on the fork 6c of the lock body 6, so that the lock tongue 6b of the lock body 6 rotates upward and presses on the outer side of the lock hook 5. At this time, the in-place detector 9 cannot detect the fork 6c, and the corresponding warning light is turned off, while the auxiliary detector 11 detects the fork 6c, and the corresponding warning light is on;

[0032] 2. When it is necessary to open the bucket door 2 to unload the materials in the bucket 1, first start the free end of the driving member 7 to retract and return to its original position, the fork 6c of the lock body 6 loses its thrust, and the lock body 6 rotates and droops under the action of gravity to break away from the lock hook 5, and then start the bucket door 2 driver to open the bucket door 2 to unload the materials; during this process, the in-place detector 9 detects the fork 6c, and the corresponding warning light is on, while the auxiliary detector 11 cannot detect the fork 6c, and the corresponding warning light is off; in the above process, if the warning light of the in-place detector 9 is off, and the warning light of the auxiliary detector 11 is not on, it indicates that the bucket door 2 is not completely locked, otherwise it indicates that the bucket door 2 is not completely opened, and the locking state of the bucket door 2 needs to be checked;

[0033] Repeating steps 1 and 2 in this way can ensure the locking and opening of the bucket door 2 and the bucket 1 to solve the situation of loose locking or unlocking.
