[0024] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1The schematic diagram of the structure of the adjustable flipping mechanism of the present invention is as follows. The adjustable flipping mechanism includes a bracket 1, a receiving hopper 2, a flipping bucket 3, and a counterweight mechanism 4. The receiving hopper 2 is arranged on the bracket 1. The flipping bucket 3 includes a bottom plate 31, two first side plates 32 respectively arranged perpendicularly on both sides of the bottom plate 31, and a second side plate 33 arranged obliquely and connected to the bottom plate 31 and the two first side plates 32, respectively. The angle between the second side plate 33 and the bottom plate 31 is obtuse. The two side plates are located obliquely above the receiving hopper 2 and are respectively rotatably arranged on the bracket 1. The flipping bucket 3 rotates downward under the action of gravity so that the second side plate 33 tilts toward the receiving hopper 2. The counterweight mechanism 4 is arranged on the end of the bottom of the bottom plate 31 away from the second side plate 33 and is used to rotate the flipping bucket 3 until its bottom plate 31 is in a horizontal state.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The figure is a schematic diagram of the turning of a material bucket within the tilting bucket of the adjustable tilting mechanism of the present invention. Under the action of the counterweight mechanism 4, the bottom plate 31 of the tilting bucket 3 is in a horizontal state, and the tilting bucket 3 is in a static equilibrium state on the bracket 1. The material bucket 6 is generally a cubic structure, with lifting lugs provided on opposite sides of the top of the side. The bottom surface of the material bucket 6 is extended to two-thirds the length of the bottom plate 31. When the lifting device drops the material bucket 6 onto the tilting bucket 3, the static equilibrium of the tilting bucket 3 is destroyed, causing the tilting bucket 3 to rotate downward. As the material bucket 6 rotates, its side wall falls onto the second side wall. The material in the material bucket 6 falls into the receiving hopper 2 during the rotation. When the material bucket 6 is separated from the tilting bucket 3, the tilting bucket 3 slowly rotates under the action of the counterweight mechanism 4 until its bottom plate 31 is in a horizontal state, thereby achieving automatic turning of the material bucket 6 and transferring the material to the conveyor belt and other equipment under the receiving hopper 2.
[0026] In one embodiment, the connection between the tipping bucket 3 and the column 14 is offset from the center of mass of the tipping bucket 3 by half. This allows the tipping bucket 3 to rotate downward on the column 14 due to its gravity. In one embodiment, the angle between the second side panel 33 and the bottom panel 31 is 120 degrees. In one embodiment, the bottom panel 31 is square, with the height of the first side panel 32 being one-third of the length of the bottom panel 31, and the height of the second side panel 33 being two-thirds of the length of the bottom panel 31.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2The figure shows a side view of the adjustable tilting mechanism of the present invention. In one embodiment, the counterweight mechanism 4 includes two screws 41, two nuts 42, and a plurality of counterweights 43. The two screws 41 are fixed to the base plate 31 at intervals, and the two nuts 42 are threadedly connected to the two screws 41. The counterweights 43 are provided with two through-holes for the two screws 41 to pass through. Each counterweight 43 can be selectively mounted on the outside of the two screws 41 through the two through-holes. Depending on the actual situation, a corresponding number of counterweights 43 can be mounted on the two screws 41. The nuts 42 on the bolts prevent the counterweights 43 from sliding off the screws 41, thereby adjusting the mass of the counterweights 43 to rotate the tilting bucket 3 upward until its base plate 31 is horizontal.
[0028] In one embodiment, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 34 are provided at intervals on the bottom of the bottom plate 31 and the outer sides of the second side plates 33. The first reinforcing ribs 34 can enhance the strength of the bottom plate 31 and the second side plates 33.
[0029] In one embodiment, a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 5 are provided at intervals from top to bottom on the outer side wall of the receiving hopper 2. The second reinforcing ribs 5 can increase the strength of the receiving hopper 2.
[0030] In one embodiment, the bracket 1 has four support columns 11, four first connecting beams 12, four second connecting beams 13 and two columns 14. The four support columns 11 are arranged in a rectangular shape. The four first connecting beams 12 are arranged at the top of the four support columns 11 and are connected to form a first rectangular frame. The four second connecting beams 13 are arranged in the middle of the four support columns 11 and are connected to form a second rectangular frame. The two columns 14 are located on one side of the first rectangular frame and are arranged at intervals. The columns 14 are respectively connected to the first rectangular frame and the second rectangular frame through connecting rods 15. The top of the receiving hopper 2 is fixed on the first rectangular frame, and the two first side plates 32 are respectively rotatably set on the two columns 14.
[0031] The following is a brief description of the use of the utility model:
[0032] The lifting lugs of the material bucket 6 are hung on a lifting device such as an electric hoist. The material bucket 6 is lifted to the top of the tipping bucket 3 by the lifting device, and the material bucket is translated horizontally to the position directly above the center of mass of the tipping bucket 3 by the track. The material bucket 6 is then lowered onto the tipping bucket 3. The weight of the material bucket 6 is applied to the tipping bucket 3, disrupting the static balance of the tipping bucket 3, causing the tipping bucket 3 to rotate downward until it hits the side of the receiving hopper 2 and stops. Due to the inclined second sidewall of the tipping bucket 3, the material bucket 6 on the tipping bucket 3 rotates with the tipping bucket 3, and the sidewall of the material bucket 6 falls onto the second sidewall. The material in the material bucket 6 falls into the receiving hopper 2 during the rotation process. When the material in the material bucket 6 has fallen out, the material bucket 6 is lifted by the lifting device so that the material bucket 6 is separated from the tipping bucket 3. Under the action of the counterweight mechanism 4, the tipping bucket 3 rotates upward until the bottom plate 31 of the tipping bucket 3 is horizontal, so that the tipping bucket 3 maintains static balance again and waits for the next bucket inversion.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications 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 are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
