Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heavy machinery, in particular to a loading hopper for a mortar transport vehicle and a mortar transport vehicle. Background Art
[0002] A dry-mixed mortar transport vehicle refers to a vehicle specialized for transporting dry-mixed mortar, which is a special vehicle developed based on the bulk transportation of granular materials. Dry-mixed mortar, also known as dry-mixed mortar, is a granular or powdery mixture composed of binder materials, aggregates and admixtures in a certain proportion. It becomes a mortar mixture by adding water and stirring according to the usage instructions at the construction site. The dry-mixed mortar transport vehicle is mainly engaged in transporting dry-mixed mortar from the mixing station to the construction site.
[0003] The loading hopper of a dry-mixed transport vehicle is an important part of it, which is used to hold dry-mixed mortar during transportation. The loading hoppers of existing dry-mixed transport vehicles generally have a structure with a completely open top, and the bottom plate and multiple side plates of the existing loading hoppers are all independent structures and are connected by welding. Although the loading hopper with this structure can hold dry-mixed mortar, it has the disadvantage of complex structure of the loading hopper. Moreover, the connection between the side plate and the bottom plate is connected by welding. Since the roughness of the connection position after welding is relatively high, part of the dry-mixed mortar will be adhered in the loading hopper, resulting in low transportation efficiency of the dry-mixed mortar. Therefore, how to reduce the structural complexity of the loading hopper and improve the transportation efficiency of dry-mixed mortar is a technical problem to be solved urgently.

[0036] Figure 1 Structural schematic of the loading hopper for the mortar transport vehicle according to an embodiment of the present utility model Figure 1 , Figure 2 Structural schematic of the loading hopper for the mortar transport vehicle according to an embodiment of the present utility model Figure 2 , as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the loading hopper for the mortar transport vehicle includes a bottom plate 100, a first side plate 200, a second side plate 300, a third side plate 400 and a fourth side plate 500.
[0037] The bottom plate 100 is used for connecting with the main frame of the mortar transport vehicle; the first side plate 200 and the second side plate 300 are arranged at the front and rear sides of the bottom plate 100 at intervals and oppositely, and the bottom ends of the first side plate 200 and the second side plate 300 are connected to the bottom plate; the third side plate 400 and the fourth side plate 500 are arranged at the left and right sides of the bottom plate 100 at intervals and oppositely, and the bottom ends of the third side plate 400 and the fourth side plate 500 are connected to the bottom plate, and the distance between the third side plate 400 and the fourth side plate 500 gradually increases from bottom to top; the first side plate 200, the third side plate 400, the second side plate 300, the fourth side plate 500 and the bottom plate 100 are of an integrally formed structure. In this embodiment, the first side plate 200 and the second side plate 300 serve as the front side plate and the rear side plate of the loading hopper, while the third side plate 400 and the fourth side plate 500 serve as the left side plate and the right side plate of the loading hopper, and the bottom ends of the first side plate 200, the third side plate 400, the second side plate 300, the fourth side plate 500 are all connected to the bottom plate 100 to form an open-top structure. In the present application, the loading hopper is processed by an integrally formed processing method, avoiding the use of connection methods such as welding; the integrally formed processing method is such as integral rotational molding, etc. It can be understood that the processing method of integral rotational molding is only an example, and in other embodiments, other types of processing methods can also be used for processing.
[0038] Further, the loading hopper includes a top plate 600, the top plate 600 is located at the top of the first side plate 200, the second side plate 300, and the fourth side plate 500, and the first end edge, the second end edge, and the fourth end edge of the top plate 600 are respectively connected to the top edges of the first side plate 200, the second side plate 300, and the fourth side plate 500, and there is a loading hopper material opening 800 between the third end edge of the top plate 600 and the third side plate 400. As Figure 1As described above, the top plate 600 is located at the upper right end of the hopper, and there is a material opening between the top plate 600 and the third side plate 400. This material opening is used to achieve the feeding and discharging of dry-mixed mortar. In this embodiment, the distance between the left end edge of the top plate 600 and the third side wall is set according to actual needs. In addition to reserving a material opening for dry-mixed mortar for the hopper, the top plate 600 in this application can also improve the strength of the hopper and prevent mortar from overflowing from the hopper during transportation, making full use of the space of the hopper. In some embodiments of the present utility model, the top plate 600, the first side plate 200, the second side plate 300, and the fourth side plate 500 are of an integrally formed structure. This structure not only reduces the processing difficulty of the hopper, but also, compared with a hopper that needs to be processed by welding, can prevent mortar from adhering to the inner wall of the hopper, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the mortar. In this embodiment, any two components among the top plate 600, the bottom plate 100, the first side plate 200, the second side plate 300, the third side plate 400, and the fourth side plate 500 are of an integral structure, so the hopper in this embodiment is of an integral structure as a whole. The integrally structured hopper not only reduces the structural complexity, improves the processing efficiency, and improves the transportation efficiency of the mortar, but also further reduces the weight of the hopper to a certain extent.
[0039] Further, in order to facilitate the mortar to slide down from the material opening during unloading, the third side plate 400 is inclined relative to the bottom plate 100. As Figure 1 shown, the third side plate 400 gradually expands outward in the upward direction. Exemplarily, the included angle range between the third side plate 400 and the bottom plate 100 can be set to 110 degrees to 160 degrees. Optionally, the included angle between the third side plate 400 and the bottom plate 100 is 120 degrees.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the fourth side plate 500 is an arc-shaped plate, and the first wire end edge of the top plate 600 is an arc-shaped edge. As Figure 2 shown, since the right end edges of the top plate 600 and the bottom plate 100 are respectively connected to the top edge and the bottom edge of the fourth side plate 500, the right end edges of the top plate 600 and the bottom plate 100 are also set to be arc-shaped at this time (refer to Figure 3 ). It can be understood that the arc-shaped fourth side plate 500 listed in this embodiment is only one embodiment. In other embodiments, the arc-shaped plate can also be a rectangular plate, and the third side plate 400 and the fourth side plate 500 can have a left-right symmetric structure.
[0041] In addition, in order to further improve the strength of the hopper of the mortar transport vehicle, a strengthening structure 810 can also be provided on the side plate of the mortar transport vehicle. In one embodiment, the strengthening structure 810 is a recess 700, and at this time, the recess 700 is provided on the first side plate 200, the second side plate 300, and / or the third side plate 400. Exemplarily, refer toFigure 4 , the recess 700 can be specifically located at the middle position of the corresponding side plate, and the shape of the recess 700 can be similar to that of the corresponding side plate; for example, when the first side plate 200 and the second side plate 300 are trapezoidal plates, the overall shape of the recess 700 is also trapezoidal at this time, and the trapezoidal recess 700 is specifically located at the middle part of the first side plate 200 or the second side plate 300. In this embodiment, the recess 700 and the side plate are also an integral structure. In addition, the depth range of the recess 700 can be set to 20 to 35 mm, that is, the recess 700 is recessed from the side plate towards the inside of the hopper. This structure not only improves the strength of the hopper, but also further reduces the residue of mortar in the hopper during the discharging process. It can be understood that the shape, position and number of the recesses on the side plate can all be set according to actual needs, such as Figure 5 As shown, two recesses can also be symmetrically arranged on the third side plate.
[0042] In some examples, the first side plate 200, the second side plate 300, the third side plate 400, the fourth side plate 500, the bottom plate 100, and the top plate 600 are all connected by arc transitions. The structure of the arc transition connection can not only ensure the structural strength of the hopper, but also avoid the adhesion and residue of mortar at the connection position to a certain extent, thus ensuring the efficiency of mortar transportation. In addition, the materials of the bottom plate 100, the first side plate 200, the second side plate 300, the third side plate 400, the fourth side plate 500 and the bottom plate 100 of the hopper can all be polymer materials such as polyethylene (PE). Polyethylene has good chemical stability, is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, and can be used for a long time in a harsh working environment without being damaged; at the same time, it also has a low density, making the hopper relatively light, reducing the load of the vehicle and lowering the energy consumption; the hopper of this embodiment is integrally processed by rotational molding using polymer materials such as polyethylene (PE). The hopper made of this material can effectively resist the erosion of various chemical components in the mortar, extend the service life of the hopper, and will not cause structural damage and mortar pollution due to rust. It can be understood that the hopper of this embodiment being made of polyethylene material as a whole is only an example. In other embodiments, the hopper can also be made of other materials, such as steel, and in this case, the hopper can be processed by casting.
[0043] In addition to the connection parts of each component being set as an arc transition structure, chamfers can also be provided on the recesses 700 on the side plates as appropriate, and the setting of the chamfers further improves the structural strength of the hopper.
[0044] From Figure 1 and Figure 2As can be seen, there is a hopper loading opening 800 between the top plate 600 of the hopper and the third side plate 400. The hopper loading opening 800 is used for loading and unloading mortar, and the size of the hopper loading opening 800 can be set according to actual needs. It is not difficult to understand that if the hopper loading opening 800 is too large, the length of the top plate 600 will be correspondingly shorter. Although it is more convenient to load and unload mortar at this time, the stability of the entire hopper is correspondingly weakened. If the hopper loading opening 800 is too small, the length of the top plate 600 will be correspondingly longer. Although the stability of the hopper can be improved at this time, it is correspondingly difficult to load and unload mortar. Therefore, in some embodiments, the ratio range between the length of the hopper loading opening 800 and the top length of the first side plate 200 or the top length of the second side plate 300 is set to 2:5 to 4:5. The length of the hopper loading opening 800 can also be understood as the distance between the left end edge of the top plate 600 and the third side plate 400.
[0045] Furthermore, in order to improve the structural strength of the hopper loading opening 800, there is a reinforcing structure 810 concave inward toward the interior of the hopper on the lower side of the top edge of the hopper loading opening 800, such as Figure 3 shown, the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing structure 810 can be "C" shaped.
[0046] According to another aspect of the present application, a mortar transport vehicle is also disclosed. The mortar transport vehicle includes a hopper for a mortar transport vehicle as described in any of the above embodiments.
[0047] Through the above embodiments, it can be found that for the hopper for a mortar transport vehicle and the mortar transport vehicle of the present application, the first side plate, the second side plate, the third side plate, the fourth side plate and the bottom plate are of an integrally formed structure. This structure of the hopper avoids connecting by means such as welding, improving the smoothness of the connection position between the bottom plate and the side plates. The hopper of this structure is not only simple in structure and easy to process, but also can improve the transportation efficiency of dry-mixed mortar. And the hoppers of some embodiments are processed by a rotational molding process, which can also ensure that the hopper has good sealing performance, that is, the hopper formed by rotational molding has good integrity, no gaps and welding points, can effectively prevent mortar leakage, keep the transportation environment clean, and at the same time avoid waste of mortar. In addition, the hopper formed by rotational molding also has high toughness and impact resistance, can withstand certain collisions and bumps during transportation without being easily broken, and can maintain good flexibility even in a low-temperature environment and will not become brittle due to cold. And the polyethylene used in some embodiments is a good insulating material, which can avoid potential safety hazards caused by static electricity and other reasons during transportation.
[0048] In summary, the hopper for a mortar transport vehicle of the present application has the advantages of high structural strength, good corrosion resistance, light weight, high reliability and high sealing performance, which can not only improve work efficiency and reliability, but also reduce maintenance costs and transportation costs.
[0049] In the present utility model, the features described and / or illustrated for one embodiment can be used in the same or a similar manner in one or more other embodiments, and / or combined with the features of other embodiments or replace the features of other embodiments.
[0050] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments of the present utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
