Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of material storage, in particular to a stackable hopper. Background Art

[0002] Hoppers are mainly used for material turnover and storage in the aluminum product production process and are widely used. However, in the process of storing materials, existing hoppers can only store materials in a single layer, which results in large floor space and unusable vertical space. As the company's production capacity gradually increases, the space for storing hoppers in the workshop gradually decreases, and the existing storage space for hoppers can no longer meet production needs.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a space-saving hopper that can be stacked for use, thereby making full use of space and improving production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem that existing hoppers can only store materials in a single layer and the utilization efficiency of material storage space is low, the utility model provides a stackable hopper that can be stacked vertically in a workshop, fully utilizing the vertical space of the workshop and being convenient to take out.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is:

[0006] A stackable hopper comprises a bottom plate and side plates, which together form a container structure with an open top. A positioning portion is provided within the container structure near the opening, and a support portion and an insert portion are provided on the outer bottom of the container structure. The positioning portion and support portion are arranged in a corresponding manner on the hopper. In two adjacent stacked hoppers, the positioning portion of the lower hopper supports the support portion of the upper hopper, and the insert portion is compatible with a forklift and is connected to the forklift's forks. The container structure is used to store aluminum materials.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom plate is rectangular, and the support portion and the inserting portion are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the long side of the bottom plate, thereby increasing the contact area between the fork and the inserting portion and making the hopper more stable during transportation and placement.

[0008] Furthermore, the side panels are rectangular or trapezoidal, and the hopper comprises at least one bottom panel and four side panels. The bottom panel is fixedly connected to the side panels.

[0009] Furthermore, at least four positioning parts are provided in the accommodating structure, and the positioning parts are provided at the connection between the side plates, thereby increasing the contact area between the positioning parts and the hopper and making the connection between the positioning parts and the hopper more stable.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning portion is in the shape of a right-angled isosceles triangle and is fixedly connected to the side panel, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the positioning portion and the side panel, saving area of the positioning portion and reducing costs.

[0011] Further, the support part is a square tube structure with both ends closed, which is made by welding steel plates. There are two support parts, which are symmetrically arranged under the bottom plate. The support is more stable and avoids the hopper from shaking.

[0012] Further, the insertion part is arranged parallel to the inner side of the support part. The insertion part is in the shape of a hollow long strip, and there is a fork hole at the center, which matches the forklift fork. The hopper is stacked by the forklift forks.

[0013] Further, the vertical distance between the insertion part and the support part is greater than the distance from the positioning part to the top of the hopper. This avoids the insertion part being blocked when the hoppers are stacked.

[0014] By the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] The present utility model is provided with a positioning part, a support part and an insertion part on the hopper. The positioning part is used to position and support the support part of the upper hopper; the support part not only supports the hopper, but also separates the upper hopper from the lower hopper; the insertion part matches the forklift fork and is used for the forklift to transfer the hopper. Through the cooperation of the positioning part, the support part and the insertion part, the hoppers can be stacked in the workshop, making full use of the vertical space, increasing the number of materials stored in the workshop, and promoting production.

[0021] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0022] As Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a stackable hopper, which includes a bottom plate 11 and side plates 12. The bottom plate 11 and the side plates 12 enclose to form a receiving structure with an open top. A positioning portion 2 is provided near the opening in the receiving structure, and a supporting portion 3 and a plug-in portion 4 are provided at the outer bottom of the receiving structure. The positioning portion 2 and the supporting portion 3 are arranged vertically corresponding to each other on the hopper. In two adjacent stacked hoppers, the positioning portion 2 of the lower hopper is used to support the supporting portion 3 of the upper hopper. The plug-in portion 4 is matched with a forklift and is used to connect with the forklift forks.

[0023] The bottom plate 11 is rectangular, and the side plates 12 are rectangular or trapezoidal. The hopper is formed by splicing the bottom plate 11 and the side plates 12. In this embodiment, the hopper includes at least one bottom plate 11 and four side plates 12 in total. The bottom plate 11 and the side plates 12 are welded together. The inner side of the bottom plate 11 and the side plates 12 forms a receiving structure, and aluminum materials are stored in the receiving structure.

[0024] At least four positioning portions 2 are provided in the receiving structure. The positioning portions 2 are fixedly connected to the side plates 12. In this embodiment, the positioning portions 2 are provided at the connection between the side plates 12 and the side plates 12. The positioning portions 2 are horizontally arranged in the receiving structure. The positioning portions 2 can be of any shape as long as they can support the supporting portion 3. The positioning portions 2 can be triangular, trapezoidal or rectangular. In this embodiment, the positioning portion 2 is a right-angled isosceles triangle and the thickness of the positioning portion 2 is 10 mm.

[0025] The supporting portion 3 and the plug-in portion 4 are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the long side of the bottom plate 11.
