Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile hopper technology, specifically a buffer structure for unloading goods from an automobile hopper. Background Technology
[0002] When unloading, heavy-duty trucks typically need to pour the material from their cargo holds into a bucket-shaped hopper. The hopper is usually quite high, and a single hopper is usually paired with two to three heavy-duty trucks. When the hopper is completely empty, it is quite deep, and the material is poured off the truck.
[0003] Currently, the original simple truck hopper buffer roof has two independent roofs with a grid-shaped support structure, and the distance between the roof and the hopper body is small, which easily causes blockage of goods and poor material discharge during the unloading process.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a buffer structure for unloading truck hoppers to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a buffer structure for unloading truck hoppers, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the original simple truck hopper buffer top consists of two independent tops with a grid-shaped support and a small gap between the tops and the hopper body, which easily causes cargo blockage and poor unloading during the unloading process.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a buffer structure for unloading cargo from a truck hopper, comprising a base and a hopper fixedly installed at the upper middle part of the base, wherein a buffer assembly is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the hopper, and the buffer assembly is configured to mitigate the impact of material discharge into the hopper.
[0007] The buffer assembly includes a fixing mechanism and a threaded support mechanism, with a top-falling mechanism threadedly fixed on both sides of the upper end of the support mechanism.
[0008] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a circular base plate and a semi-circular locking block fixedly installed on one side of the lower end of the circular base plate, wherein a circular groove is formed in the middle of the upper end of the semi-circular locking block.
[0009] Preferably, a first threaded rod is movably installed in the inner cavity of the circular groove, and a first nut is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first threaded rod.
[0010] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a long cylindrical rod and a first mounting groove that is linearly and equally spaced at the middle of the upper end of the long cylindrical rod, and a second circular groove is provided on both sides of the upper end of the long cylindrical rod.
[0011] Preferably, the roof fall mechanism includes a fixed plate and an inclined guide plate fixedly installed on the upper end of the fixed plate.
[0012] Preferably, a second threaded rod is fixedly installed at each of the four lower corners of the fixing plate, and a second nut is threaded onto the outer surface of the second threaded rod.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0014] 1. By raising the long cylindrical rod by 0.5 meters relative to its original installation height, the gap between the roof support mechanism and the unloading hopper is increased, thereby widening the cargo flow channel. At the same time, by changing the original long cylindrical rod, which was fixed in a grid shape at the lower end of the roof support mechanism, to be arranged parallel to both sides of the lower end of the roof support mechanism, the probability of cargo blockage is reduced. Furthermore, when the long cylindrical rod develops cracks after long-term use, the first threaded rod can be pulled out from the second circular groove and the inner cavity of the groove by directly disassembling the first nut, thereby loosening the long cylindrical rod from the fixing mechanism, disassembling the roof support mechanism from the long cylindrical rod, and replacing the long cylindrical rod.
[0015] 2. By disassembling the second nut at the lower end of the outer surface of the second threaded rod and then pulling the second threaded rod out of the inner cavity of the first mounting groove at the upper end of the long round rod, the fixing plate can be disassembled. This design also makes it easy for the operator to replace the damaged fixing plate individually, making it convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 A buffer structure for unloading cargo from a truck hopper includes a base 1 and a hopper 2 fixedly installed at the upper middle part of the base 1. A buffer assembly 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the hopper 2. The buffer assembly 3 is configured to mitigate the impact of material discharge into the hopper 2.
[0023] The buffer assembly 3 includes a fixing mechanism 31 and a threaded support mechanism 32. The upper ends of the support mechanism 32 are respectively threadedly fixed to both sides of the support mechanism 32 with a top-falling mechanism 33.
[0024] The fixing mechanism 31 includes a circular base plate 311 and a semi-circular locking block 312 fixedly installed on one side of the lower end of the circular base plate 311. A circular groove 313 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the semi-circular locking block 312. One end of the circular base plate 311 is fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the unloading hopper 2.
[0025] The two ends of the long cylindrical rod 321 are installed on the upper end of the semi-circular block 312, and the first threaded rod 314 passes through the second circular groove 323 and the circular groove 313. The first threaded rod 314 is threadedly fixed to the lower end of the groove opening of the circular groove 313 by the first nut 315.
[0026] A first threaded rod 314 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the circular groove 313. A first nut 315 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first threaded rod 314. The threaded connection between the first threaded rod 314 and the first nut 315 is used to fix one end of the long round rod 321 to the upper end of the inner cavity of the semi-circular block 312.
[0027] The support mechanism 32 includes a long cylindrical rod 321 and a first mounting groove 322 that is linearly and equally spaced at the middle of the upper end of the long cylindrical rod 321. A second circular groove 323 is respectively provided on both sides of the upper end of the long cylindrical rod 321.
[0028] In this embodiment: by raising the elongated cylindrical rod 321 by 0.5 meters relative to its original installation height, the gap between the top-falling mechanism 33 and the unloading hopper 2 is increased, thereby enlarging the cargo flow channel. Simultaneously, by changing the original grid-shaped fixed elongated cylindrical rod 321 at the lower end of the top-falling mechanism 33 to a parallel arrangement on both sides of the lower end of the top-falling mechanism 33, the probability of cargo blockage is reduced. Furthermore, when cracks develop on the elongated cylindrical rod 321 after prolonged use, since both ends of the elongated cylindrical rod 321 are respectively placed on the semi-circular locking blocks 31... The upper end of 2 is inserted into the second circular groove 323 and the circular groove 313 through the first threaded rod 314. The first threaded rod 314 is threaded and fixed to the lower end of the semi-circular block 312 by the first nut 315. By directly disassembling the first nut 315, the first threaded rod 314 can be pulled out from the inner cavity of the second circular groove 323 and the circular groove 313, thereby loosening the long round rod 321 from the fixing mechanism 31, disassembling the top mechanism 33 from the long round rod 321, and replacing the long round rod 321.
[0029] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The overfall mechanism 33 includes a fixed plate 331 and an inclined guide plate 332 fixedly installed on the upper end of the fixed plate 331. The inclined guide plate 332 is inclined around its perimeter, which allows the material to slide down due to inertia after falling onto the upper end of the inclined guide plate 332.
[0030] The lower end of the fixing plate 331 is fixedly installed with the four corners of the fixing plate 331. The outer surface of the second threaded rod 333 is threaded with the second nut 334. The fixing plate 331 is threadedly fixed to the upper end of the long round rod 321 through the threaded connection of the second threaded rod 333 and the second nut 334.
[0031] The fixing plate 331 drives the second threaded rod 333 to be inserted into the inner cavity of the first mounting groove 322, and is fixed by the second nut 334.
[0032] In this embodiment: after the fixing plate 331 is damaged, the operator can remove the second nut 334 at the lower end of the outer surface of the second threaded rod 333 by disassembling the threaded connection, and then pull the second threaded rod 333 out of the inner cavity of the first mounting groove 322 at the upper end of the long round rod 321 to complete the disassembly of the fixing plate 331. This setting also makes it convenient for the operator to replace the damaged fixing plate 331 individually, and is easy to use.
[0033] Working principle: By raising the elongated cylindrical rod 321 by 0.5 meters relative to its original installation height, the gap between the top-falling mechanism 33 and the unloading hopper 2 is increased, thereby widening the cargo flow channel. Simultaneously, by changing the original grid-shaped fixed elongated cylindrical rod 321 at the lower end of the top-falling mechanism 33 to a parallel arrangement on both sides of the lower end of the top-falling mechanism 33, the probability of cargo blockage is reduced. Furthermore, when cracks develop on the elongated cylindrical rod 321 after prolonged use, since both ends of the elongated cylindrical rod 321 are respectively placed on the upper end of the semi-circular locking block 312, and the first threaded rod 314 is inserted into the second circular groove 323 and the second circular groove 313, and the first threaded rod 314 is threadedly fixed to the semi-circular locking block 312 by the first nut 315. The lower end is fixed. By directly disassembling the first nut 315, the first threaded rod 314 can be pulled out from the inner cavity of the second circular groove 323 and the circular groove 313, thereby loosening the long round rod 321 from the fixing mechanism 31, disassembling the top mechanism 33 from the long round rod 321, and replacing the long round rod 321. After the fixing plate 331 is damaged, the operator can disassemble the second nut 334 threaded to the lower end of the outer surface of the second threaded rod 333, and then pull the second threaded rod 333 out from the inner cavity of the first mounting groove 322 at the upper end of the long round rod 321 to complete the disassembly of the fixing plate 331. This setting also makes it convenient for the operator to replace the damaged fixing plate 331 individually.
