Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machinery, and particularly relates to a mud bucket for automatic unloading of a forklift. Background Art
[0002] The mud bucket is a common material transportation device. The traditional mud bucket only has a loading function. During the unloading process, the forklift needs to turn the mud bucket to unload the material. This not only cannot accurately unload the material to the designated position, but also has low efficiency. Moreover, due to the easy damage of the support structure, the damage to the mud bucket is extremely large, resulting in frequent maintenance of the mud bucket, consuming materials and labor. Based on this, in recent years, mud buckets with automatic unloading functions have emerged. For example, adding a motor that drives the bottom plate to rotate at the bottom plate requires setting up a power supply device and a signal device, increasing the construction difficulty and construction cost, and the electric equipment is easy to damage, and the replacement and maintenance costs become larger. Or, such as "a self-unloading hopper" disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN208560406U on March 1, 2019, which adds a return mechanism such as a spring or an oil cylinder at the bottom plate. However, during the actual transportation of materials, since the return mechanism is inside the hopper and directly contacts the materials, the spring or the oil cylinder is likely to be stuck, resulting in the failure of the return mechanism, thereby causing the hopper to lose its use function and increasing the inspection frequency.

Among them, the hopper box body 1 is welded and fixed on the bottom support 5, and the bottom plate limit block 4 is welded and fixed on the hopper bottom plate 3; the two forklift support bodies 2 are respectively welded and fixed on the lower parts of the two outer sides of the hopper box body 1; the two hopper bottom plates 3 are respectively hinged to the bottom support 5;
[0022] As Figure 1 , 2 , 4 shown, each of the two forklift support bodies 2 is composed of a plurality of triangular support rib plates 202 evenly distributed and welded and fixed on an L-shaped steel plate 201;
[0023] As Figure 1 , 3 , 5 shown, there are two hopper bottom plates 3, and each includes a bottom plate baffle 301, a connecting hole 302, a connecting shaft 303, and a round head 304 of the bottom plate. Among them, one end of each bottom baffle 301 is provided with a connecting hole 302 that cooperates with the bottom plate connecting hole 506 on the bottom support 5 (for hinging through the connecting shaft 303 with the bottom plate connecting hole 506 on the support assembly 5, so that the bottom baffle 301 can rotate relative to the support assembly 5 around the connecting shaft 303), and the round head 304 of the bottom plate is welded and fixed at the bottom of the opening end of the bottom plate baffle 301;
[0024] As Figure 6As shown in the figure, the bottom support 5 includes a box body connecting piece 501, a support shaft chute 502, a support shaft 503, a spring fastener 504, a clamping shaft piece 505, and a bottom plate connection hole 506. Among them, the box body connecting piece 501 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the mud bucket box body 1. Two support shaft chutes 502 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box body connecting piece 501. A spring fastener 504 is installed in the middle of each support shaft chute 502. Clamping shaft pieces 505 are provided at both ends of the support shaft chute 502. The support shaft 503 is installed in the support shaft chute 502. The bottom plate connection hole 506 is composed of several holes, which cooperate with the connection holes 302 of the mud bucket bottom plate 3 and are evenly welded and fixed to the inner bottom of the same side of the bottom support 5 and the forklift support body 2 (the number of bottom plate connection holes 506 is adjusted according to the length of the mud bucket box body 1).
[0025] As Figures 7-8 shown, the clamping shaft piece 505 includes a clamping shaft piece chute 5051, a first compression spring 5052, a rigid L-shaped piece 5053, a second compression spring 5054, and a stop rod 5055. Among them: One end of the first compression spring 5052 is welded to the lower end of the clamping shaft piece chute 5051, and the other end of the first compression spring 5052 is fixed to the support shaft 503. The rigid L-shaped piece 5053 is welded and fixed to the stop rod 5055, and the stop rod 5055 is triangular. One end of the second compression spring 5054 is connected to the rigid L-shaped piece 5053, and the other end is connected to the spring fastener 504 of the clamping shaft piece 505.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] As Figure 2 、 4 、5, and 7 shown, when the mud bucket is loading materials, the support shaft 503 is bounced to the upper end of the clamping shaft piece chute 5051 by the first compression spring 5052. The support shaft 503 supports the mud bucket bottom plate 3, and materials are loaded into the mud bucket. After the materials are loaded, the two forks at both ends of the forklift are inserted into the triangular support ribs 202 of the forklift support body 2, and the materials are transported to the destination.
[0028] As Figure 1 、 3 、4, 5, and 8 shown, after reaching the material destination, the forklift gently places the mud bucket. The two forks at both ends withdraw from the triangular support ribs 202 of the forklift support body 2 and respectively contact the two support shafts 503, pressing the support shafts 503 downward to the lower end of the clamping shaft chute 5051 (as Figure 8 shown). After that, the stop rod 5055 moves upward under the action of the second compression spring 5054 to limit the support shaft 503 at the lower end of the clamping shaft chute 5051 and prevent it from moving upward. Then the two forks at both ends of the forklift are inserted into the triangular support ribs 202 of the forklift support body 2, and the mud bucket is lifted. At this time, the two mud bucket bottom plates will rotate downward and open (as Figure 3As shown in the figure), after reaching the position of the limit block, it stops rotating and completes the unloading of the material; after the material unloading is completed, the mud bucket is placed on the horizontal ground, and the ground restriction causes the bottom plate baffle 301 to rotate upward until the round head 304 of the bottom plate abuts against the ground and forces the bottom plate baffle 301 to return to the horizontal state. The two forks at both ends withdraw from the triangular support rib 202 of the forklift support body 2, and the two rigid L-shaped parts 5053 are respectively tapped to press the stop rod 5055 downward so as not to restrict the support shaft 503. Under the action of the first compression spring 5052, the support shaft 503 rebounds to the upper end of the card shaft part chute 5051 (as Figure 7 shown); the two forks at both ends of the forklift are inserted into the triangular support rib 202 of the forklift support body 2 and return to the material loading place to continue loading materials.
[0029] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
