Detailed Embodiments

[0019] The following will further describe the present application in detail Figure 1-2 with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] An embodiment of the present application discloses a concrete tipping hopper. Refer toFigure 1 and Figure 2 The concrete tipping hopper includes a mounting frame 1 and a cylinder body 2 provided on the mounting frame 1. The upper end of the cylinder body 2 is open, and a discharge door is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body 2. The discharge door is an electric discharge door. A guide plate 3 is provided at the opening of the cylinder body 2. A chute is recessed on the upper plate surface of the guide plate 3. The guide plate 3 extends along the side of the cylinder body 2 and extends out of the cylinder body 2. The cylinder body 2 is hinged on the mounting frame 1, and the hinge axis of the cylinder body 2 is parallel to the ground; the mounting frame 1 includes a mounting ring 11 and support legs provided on the mounting ring 11. The cylinder body 2 is provided on the mounting ring 11, and the support legs are telescopic structures.

[0021] After the concrete in the concrete mixer truck is poured into the cylinder body 2, when the concrete in the cylinder body 2 needs to be transferred into the concrete mixer truck, first adjust the height of the support legs so that the height of the guide plate 3 is greater than the height of the inlet of the concrete mixer truck. Subsequently, rotate the cylinder body 2. The rotation of the cylinder body 2 drives the concrete to flow, and the concrete enters the concrete mixer truck through the guide plate 3, thereby facilitating the transfer of the concrete.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, the support legs include a sleeve rod 12 and a sliding rod 13 slidably sleeved in the sleeve rod 12. The mounting ring 11 is fixedly provided at the end of the sliding rod 13. A hydraulic cylinder is provided on the sleeve rod 12. The length direction of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is parallel to the length direction of the sleeve rod 12. The sliding rod 13 is fixedly provided on the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder; when adjusting the height of the cylinder body 2, start the hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic cylinder drives the sliding rod 13 to slide out of the sleeve rod 12. The sliding of the sliding rod 13 drives the cylinder body 2 to move, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the height of the cylinder body 2 increases, the center of gravity of the cylinder body 2 rises, which easily causes the cylinder body 2 to tip over. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, inclined braces 14 are circumferentially provided on the sleeve rod 12. The inclined braces 14 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the sleeve rod 12, and the other ends of the inclined braces 14 are supported on the ground.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in the embodiment of the present application, a hinge shaft 4 is rotatably arranged on the mounting ring 11, the cylinder body 2 is fixedly arranged on the hinge shaft 4, a worm gear 5 is coaxially sleeved on the hinge shaft 4, a first motor 6 is fixedly arranged on the mounting ring 11, and a worm 7 meshing with the worm gear 5 is coaxially arranged on the output shaft of the first motor 6. Further, the mounting ring 11 is in an open shape, and the opening radian is determined according to the inner diameter of the cylinder body 2 to ensure that the cylinder body 2 rotates out of the mounting ring 11. The open mounting ring 11 facilitates the cylinder body 2 to rotate out of the mounting ring 11. Start the first motor 6, the first motor 6 drives the worm 7 to rotate, the worm 7 rotates to drive the worm gear 5 to rotate, and the worm gear 5 rotates to drive the cylinder body 2 to rotate to remove the concrete, and it is convenient to fix the cylinder body 2 at the rotated angle.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , for facilitating the cleaning of the cylinder body 2, a water pipe 8 is arranged at the opening of the cylinder body 2. The water pipe 8 surrounds the opening of the cylinder body 2 and a notch 9 for the removal of concrete is reserved. Water outlets 10 are spaced apart on the water pipe 8. Connect the water pipe 8 to an external water source and supply water. After the cleaning water enters the water pipe 8, it is sprayed out through the water outlets 10 to clean the concrete residues on the inner wall of the cylinder body 2. And under the action of the notch 9, the possibility of the concrete covering the water pipe 8 during the flow is reduced.

[0026] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , to improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning water on the cylinder body 2, the water pipe 8 is rotatably arranged in the cylinder body 2, the water pipe 8 rotates along the axis of the cylinder body 2, and a driving member for driving the water pipe 8 to reciprocate is arranged in the cylinder body 2. The driving member includes a second motor 15 arranged on the cylinder body 2 and a gear 16 arranged on the output shaft of the second motor 15. An arc-shaped rack 17 is arranged at the top of the water pipe 8, and the arc-shaped rack 17 meshes with the gear 16. Start the second motor 15, the second motor 15 drives the gear 16 to rotate, the gear 16 rotates to drive the arc-shaped gear 16 to move, and the arc-shaped rack 17 moves to drive the water pipe 8 to reciprocate, thereby improving the action range of the water pipe 8 and improving the cleaning effect on the cylinder body 2.

[0027] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in the embodiment of the present application, a flow channel 18 is concavely arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder body 2. The flow channel 18 is connected to the guide plate 3, and the concrete in the flow channel 18 flows along the guide plate 3. The two ends of the water pipe 8 are respectively located on both sides of the flow channel 18. When the concrete is poured, the concrete flows towards the flow channel 18 and enters the flow channel 18, and then flows out through the guide plate 3 via the flow channel 18. During this process, the possibility of the concrete covering the water pipe 8 is further reduced.

[0028] The implementation principle of a concrete tipping hopper in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0029] After the concrete in the concrete mixer truck is poured into the cylinder body 2, when the concrete in the cylinder body 2 needs to be transferred into the concrete mixer truck, first adjust the height of the support legs so that the height of the deflector 3 is greater than the height of the inlet of the concrete mixer truck. Subsequently, rotate the cylinder body 2. The rotation of the cylinder body 2 drives the concrete to flow, and the concrete enters the concrete mixer truck through the deflector 3, thereby facilitating the transfer of the concrete.

[0030] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and the protection scope of this application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
