Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of building construction, and in particular to an adjustable extended hopper for a concrete mixer truck. Background Art
[0002] At present, during the construction of some concrete structure pouring, due to the limitation of the narrow construction area on site, it is impossible to use a pump truck for pouring. The self-unloading range of the concrete mixer truck is too small to cover all the concrete pouring areas. If a chute is used for assistance, in order to ensure the uniform distribution of the stones in the concrete during the pouring process, it is necessary to move the positions of the concrete mixer truck and the chute after pouring a part of the concrete. The movement of the chute requires the assistance of a truck crane or the like, which is very inconvenient and increases the construction cost. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an adjustable extended hopper that can extend the discharging range of the concrete mixer truck to overcome the defects in the above background art.
[0004] The adjustable extended hopper for a concrete mixer truck includes an extended hopper body. Suspension rings are provided on both sides at one end of the extended hopper body, and the extended hopper body is clamped to the output end of the discharging hopper through connecting members on both sides; a lifting belt is provided at the other end of the extended hopper body, one end of the lifting belt is connected to the extended hopper body, and the other end is detachably connected to the frame above the discharging hopper of the mixer truck.
[0005] As a preference of the adjustable extended hopper for a concrete mixer truck in the present utility model, the extended hopper body includes a first support rod, a second support rod, and a hopper body. A pair of the second support rods are provided on both sides above the first support rod, and the hopper body is provided between the first support rod and the pair of second support rods.
[0006] As a preference of the adjustable extended hopper for a concrete mixer truck in the present utility model, the length of the first support rod is less than the length of the second support rod.
[0007] As a preference of the adjustable extended hopper for a concrete mixer truck in the present utility model, the extended hopper body further includes a third support rod, and the third support rods are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the hopper body.
[0008] As a preference of the adjustable extended hopper for a concrete mixer truck in the present utility model, both ends of the third support rod are connected to the second support rod.
[0009] As a preference of the adjustable extended hopper for a concrete mixer truck in the present utility model, the width of the extended hopper body is greater than the width of the discharging hopper.
[0010] Advantages of the present utility model:
[0011] The utility model connects the extended hopper body with the discharge hopper through a lifting ring and a lifting belt, so that the self-unloading coverage area of the mixer truck is wider. When self-unloading, it is not necessary to use a chute, which reduces the difficulty of self-unloading and pouring of the mixer truck and improves work efficiency. At the same time, the length of the extended hopper body can be adjusted through the lifting belt to cope with the pouring of concrete with different slumps. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0026] Embodiment
[0027] This embodiment provides an adjustable extended hopper for a concrete mixer truck, which is connected to the discharge hopper of the concrete mixer truck to increase the self-unloading range of the concrete mixer truck. As Figure 1 shown, it includes an extended hopper body 1, lifting rings 2, connecting connectors 3 and a lifting belt 4. A pair of the lifting rings 2 are arranged at both ends of one end of the extended hopper body 1, the connector is inserted between the pair of lifting rings 2, and the extended hopper body 1 is clamped with the output end of the discharge hopper of the mixer truck through the lifting rings 2 and the connector 3; one end of the lifting belt 4 is connected to the other end of the extended hopper body 1, and the other end is detachably connected to the frame above the discharge hopper of the mixer truck.
[0028] As Figure 2 shown, the extended hopper body 1 includes a first support rod 11, a second support rod 12 and a hopper body 13. A pair of the second support rods 12 are arranged on both sides above the first support rod 11, and the first support rod 11, the pair of second support rods 12 are arranged in a triangular shape among the three. The hopper body 13 is arranged between the first support rod 11 and the pair of second support rods 12 and is welded to the above three, and its cross-section is in a semi-circular arc shape for the mixer truck to unload materials.
[0029] In this embodiment, the length of the first support rod 11 is less than that of the second support rod 12. The connection ends of the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 are flush with the discharge hopper of the mixer truck, and the other ends of the pair of second support rods 12 protrude outwards to facilitate the connection of the lifting belt 4 to the extended hopper body 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, the extended hopper body 1 further includes a third support rod 14, and the third support rod 14 is arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the hopper body 13. Both ends of the third support rod 14 are connected to the second support rod 12, and this structure plays a role in shaping to prevent the extended hopper body 1 from deforming greatly during use and avoid affecting the use.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first support rod 11 and the second support rod can be made of steel pipes, the hopper body 13 is made of iron sheets, and the third support rod 14 is made of steel bars. The above materials are all commonly used materials at the construction site, which is convenient for obtaining materials locally.
[0032] In this embodiment, the lifting ring 2 is made of steel bars. One end of the lifting ring is welded to the second support rod 12, and the other end extends upward above the extension bucket body 1 and away from the extension bucket body 1, so that the extension bucket body 1 can be connected to the discharge hopper through the connecting member 3.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting belt 4 is made of a flexible material.
[0034] Working principle: During the pouring process, two construction workers assemble the extension bucket body 1 to the discharge hopper of the concrete mixer truck through the connecting member 3, and connect the handrail frame above the discharge hopper of the concrete mixer truck with the lifting belt 4, and then start discharging. One construction worker controls the rotation of the feeding hopper at the front end of the extension bucket to adjust the concrete discharging position and direction, and a signalman observes the site and commands the driver of the concrete mixer truck to discharge.
[0035] The structure of the present utility model is simple. The extension bucket body 1 is connected to the discharge hopper through the lifting ring 2 and the lifting belt 3, so that the self-unloading coverage area of the mixer truck is wider. When self-unloading, a chute does not need to be used, reducing the difficulty of self-unloading pouring of the mixer truck and improving the work efficiency; at the same time, the length of the extension bucket body can be adjusted through the lifting belt 4 to cope with the pouring of concrete with different slumps; the space required for use is small, a large area does not need to be used as a support surface, and construction can be carried out in a limited area nearby.
[0036] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.
[0037] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
