Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bucket unloading technology, and in particular to a bucket with unloading control function. Background Technology
[0002] A hoisting bucket is an auxiliary device on a crane used for handling bulk materials or small goods. It consists of a bucket body, a boom, and connecting devices, and its design can be varied according to the characteristics of the materials. Widely used in industries such as construction, mining, and warehousing, hoisting buckets significantly improve the efficiency and safety of material handling.
[0003] However, the current unloading of buckets mainly relies on adjusting the bucket's tilt angle, which has some problems.
[0004] The operation is complex, requiring operators to possess the skills and experience to precisely control the bucket angle and ensure accurate material unloading. This requirement for precision operation not only increases the difficulty of operation but also reduces unloading efficiency and increases time consumption.
[0005] Secondly, frequent adjustments to the bucket angle require operators to perform a lot of physical labor, which not only increases labor intensity and manpower consumption, but may also have a negative impact on the health of operators and increase the risk of work-related injuries. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a bucket with unloading control function, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A bucket with unloading control function includes a bucket body, side hangers, perforations, and a material bin. The side hangers are distributed on both sides of the bucket body, and the perforations are located at the ends of the side hangers. A material bin for material storage is provided at the upper end of the bucket body. A hoisting rope is inserted through the perforation and connected to the bucket body to lift the bucket body.
[0009] The material hopper is equipped with partition plates on both sides inside the hopper, which form an isolated installation hopper. The front opening of the hopper is connected to a discharge plate by a hinge device and a pin lock. The pin lock is removed and the discharge plate is rotated by the hinge device to realize the discharge operation.
[0010] The corner of the unloading plate is connected to the bucket body via a rotating shaft. One of the rotating shafts is connected to a drive motor, which drives the unloading plate to rotate, thereby discharging the material from the unloading plate.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the inner wall of the unloading plate is provided with multiple transverse partitions, and a slide is formed between two adjacent transverse partitions to facilitate the storage of materials in the slide and prevent the materials from rolling in the material bin. The transverse partitions are designed in an "L" shape and are welded and fixed to the unloading plate.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the side hanger is divided into an inverted "V" shaped side frame and a bottom crossbar. The bottom crossbar is welded to the lower end of the inverted "V" shaped side frame. The side hanger is welded and fixed to the bucket body. The bucket body and the hinge device are fixed by bolts.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the bolt lock consists of two round tubes and an L-shaped bolt. The two round tubes are welded and fixed to the bucket body and the unloading plate, and the connection between the unloading plate and the bucket body is achieved by inserting the L-shaped bolt into the two round tubes.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the partition plate is welded and fixed to the bucket body, and a sealing strip is provided at the connection between the partition plate and the bucket body;
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the drive motor is fixed to the bucket body by a bracket and bolts, and the output end of the drive motor passes through the partition plate and is fixed to the rotating shaft of the unloading plate. A bearing device is provided at the connection between the output end of the drive motor and the partition plate.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] In this invention, a carefully designed partition plate successfully constructs an isolated installation compartment, which not only effectively isolates materials but also prevents potential impacts from the materials on the drive equipment. To further enhance operational convenience, a hinge device and a latch lock are specially designed, allowing the unloading plate to be easily rotated for rapid material unloading. During the locking process, we ensure a very secure connection between the unloading plate and the hopper body, effectively preventing accidental movement or detachment during transportation or storage, thereby significantly improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0018] Furthermore, the connection between the unloading plate and the drive motor enables automated operation of the unloading process, which not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the need for manual operation. To ensure the stability of materials during storage and discharge, we designed transverse slats on the inner wall of the unloading plate. These slats form effective sliding tracks to prevent material rolling and ensure smooth discharge. At the same time, this design also allows operators to monitor the entire unloading process and adjust operations in a timely manner to ensure a smooth and abnormal unloading process.
[0019] To further enhance the stability of the bucket, we designed a side-mounted support structure, which provides additional safety during lifting. We also applied sealing strips to effectively prevent material leakage and maintain a clean and tidy working environment. Finally, by incorporating bearing devices, we reduced wear, improved rotational efficiency, and significantly extended the equipment's service life. Overall, these designs and improvements ensure the efficient, safe, and reliable operation of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Example
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a hoisting bucket with unloading control function includes a bucket body 1, side hangers 2, perforations 3, and a material bin 4. The side hangers 2 are distributed on both sides of the bucket body 1, while the perforations 3 are located at the ends of the side hangers 2. A material bin 4 for material storage is provided at the upper end of the bucket body 1. A hoisting rope is threaded through the perforation 3 and connected to the bucket body 1, thereby hoisting the bucket body 1.
[0027] The material hopper 4 has partition plates 5 on both sides inside, forming an isolated installation hopper 6. The front opening of the hopper 1 is connected to a discharge plate 7 via a hinge device 8 and a pin lock 9. After removing the pin lock 9, the discharge plate 7 can be rotated via the hinge device 8, thereby completing the discharge operation.
[0028] The corner of the discharge plate 7 is connected to the bucket body 1 via a rotating shaft, one of which is connected to the drive motor 12. The drive motor 12 drives the discharge plate 7 to rotate, thereby discharging the material from the discharge plate 7.
[0029] The side hanger 2 consists of an inverted "V" shaped side frame and a bottom crossbar, with the bottom crossbar welded to the lower end of the inverted "V" shaped side frame. The side hanger 2 is fixed to the bucket body 1 by welding, while the bucket body 1 is fixed to the hinge device 8 by bolts.
[0030] The latch lock 9 consists of two round tubes and an L-shaped latch. The two round tubes are welded and fixed to the bucket body 1 and the unloading plate 7 respectively. The connection between the unloading plate 7 and the bucket body 1 is achieved by inserting the L-shaped latch into the two round tubes.
[0031] The partition plate 5 is welded and fixed to the bucket body 1. A sealing strip is provided at the connection between the partition plate 5 and the bucket body 1 to ensure that the material will not leak from the connection.
[0032] The drive motor 12 is fixed to the bucket body 1 by a bracket and bolts. The output end of the drive motor 12 passes through the partition plate 5 and is fixed to the rotating shaft of the discharge plate 7. A bearing device is provided at the connection between the output end of the drive motor 12 and the partition plate 5 to reduce wear and improve rotation efficiency. Example
[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, another type of bucket with unloading control function has the same structure as that in Embodiment 1.
[0034] The unique feature is that the inner wall of the discharge plate 7 is provided with multiple transverse partitions 10, and a slide 11 is formed between two adjacent transverse partitions 10, which facilitates the storage of materials in the slide 11 and prevents the materials from rolling in the material bin 4. The transverse partitions 10 are designed in an "L" shape and are welded and fixed to the discharge plate 7 to further ensure the stable storage and smooth discharge of materials.
[0035] Unloading Process: First, the operator needs to release the latch lock 9 to release the fixing of the unloading plate 7. Then, the unloading plate 7 rotates via its hinge device 8. The drive motor 12 is started, driving the unloading plate 7 to rotate, allowing the material to be smoothly discharged from the unloading plate 7 to the designated position. During rotation, the operator must closely monitor the movement trajectory of the unloading plate 7 to ensure it is smooth and without abnormal noise. Once the material has been discharged, the operator should immediately stop the drive motor 12 and check that the unloading plate 7 has fully reset to avoid collisions or damage in subsequent operations.
[0036] Locking Process: After unloading, the operator needs to insert the L-shaped pins into the two round tubes to ensure they are securely fixed in their positions. Then, the unloading plate 7 and the hopper 1 are connected using the pin lock 9, ensuring a strong connection between them. During the connection process, the operator must ensure the pins are fully inserted and locked in place to prevent the unloading plate 7 from accidentally moving or falling off during transportation or storage. After locking, the operator should conduct a thorough inspection to confirm that the connection between the unloading plate 7 and the hopper 1 is secure and without any looseness or abnormalities, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the overall equipment.
