[0032] 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.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a convenient construction hopper, comprising a U-shaped base 1, an outer box 2 provided on the inner side wall of the U-shaped base 1, the outer box 2 being made of aluminum alloy, having good load-bearing capacity, suitable for loading a certain weight of building materials (this is prior art and will not be described in detail). An inner box 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer box 2, and the inner wall of the outer box 2 has a slot corresponding to the inner box 3, allowing the inner box 3 to move vertically. A fixing block 4 is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the inner box 3. A saw-shaped groove 13 is provided on the outer wall of the outer box 2. The inner wall of the U-shaped base 1 is provided with... The device has a rotating component and a handle on the U-shaped base 1. The handle and the roller 12 work together to move the hopper to the desired position. The bottom of the U-shaped base 1 is equipped with the roller 12, which is a mechanical device consisting of a wheel and an axle. It is usually used to reduce the friction when an object moves on a plane. The inner wall of the fixed block 4 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism, which includes a locking block 5. The left side wall of the locking block 5 is elastically connected to the fixed block 4 through a movable spring 6. The locking block 5 passes through and slides on the inner wall of the fixed block 4. The inner wall of the fixed block 4 has a slot corresponding to the locking block 5 so that the locking block 5 can move laterally.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The rotating assembly includes a rotating column 9. The inner wall of the left end of the rotating column 9 is elastically connected to a pressing block 10 via a moving spring 11. The inner wall of the U-shaped base 1 is rotatably connected to a fixed column 7 via a bearing 8. The bearing 8 reduces friction by the rolling of rolling elements between the inner and outer rings. When the shaft rotates, the rolling elements roll between the inner and outer rings, converting sliding friction into rolling friction, thereby reducing friction and energy loss, making it easier for workers to adjust the hopper angle. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further. The rotating column 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped base 1. The inner wall of the U-shaped base 1 has an annular groove, allowing the rotating column 9 to rotate along the groove's trajectory. The pressing block 10 is engaged with the inner wall of the U-shaped base 1. The annular groove of the shaped base 1 is provided with multiple sets of rectangular slots. The extrusion block 10 is engaged in the slots and can limit the angle of the outer box 2 and the inner box 3. The extrusion block 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating column 9. The inner wall of the rotating column 9 has a slot corresponding to the extrusion block 10, allowing the extrusion block 10 to move. The fixed column 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer box 2. The rotating column 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer box 2. The inner wall of the left end of the rotating column 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving spring 11. The other end of the moving spring 11 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the extrusion block 10. When the extrusion block 10 moves to the left, the moving spring 11 is compressed. When resetting, the elastic force of the moving spring 11 is used to reset the extrusion block 10.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The left side wall of the locking block 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable spring 6, and the other end of the movable spring 6 is fixedly connected to the left inner wall of the fixed block 4. When the locking block 5 moves to the left, the movable spring 6 is compressed. When resetting, the elastic force of the movable spring 6 is used to reset the locking block 5. The locking block 5 is locked onto the inner wall of the saw groove 13. The saw groove 13 has multiple sets of horizontal slots and one vertical slot. In the initial state, the locking block 5 is locked onto the last slot of the saw groove 13.
[0036] Working principle: When loading building materials into the hopper, and the hopper volume needs adjustment due to a large quantity of materials, the operator first presses the locking block 5 to the left. The leftward movement of the locking block 5 compresses the movable spring 6. When the locking block 5 separates from the transverse groove of the saw groove 13, the operator pushes the fixing block 4 upward. The fixing block 4 moves the inner box 3 upward, which then moves upward along the inner wall of the outer box 2, expanding the hopper volume. When the hopper volume is adjusted to the required transport volume, the locking block 5 aligns with the transverse groove of the saw groove 13. The operator then releases the locking block 5, utilizing the movable spring 6... The elastic force of the spring causes the locking block 5 to engage with the slot of the saw groove 13, thus limiting the inner box 3. When the amount of material to be transported is small and the hopper volume needs to be reduced, the operator presses the locking block 5 to the left. When the locking block 5 separates from the horizontal slot of the saw groove 13, the operator pulls the fixing block 4 downwards. The fixing block 4 moves the inner box 3 downwards, reducing the hopper volume. The operator then releases the locking block 5, and the elastic force of the movable spring 6 causes the locking block 5 to engage with the slot of the saw groove 13, thus limiting the inner box 3. If the hopper volume needs to be adjusted again, simply repeat the above steps.
[0037] When adjusting the hopper angle is required for filling building materials, the worker first presses the compression block 10 to the left. The compression block 10 moves to the left, compressing the moving spring 11. When the compression block 10 separates from the slot on the U-shaped base 1, the worker pulls the rotating column 9 to the right. The rotating column 9 rotates counterclockwise around the fixed column 7. Simultaneously, the inner box 3 and outer box 2 maintain the same trajectory as the rotating column 9. When the hopper is adjusted to the required angle, the compression block 10 aligns with the slot on the U-shaped base 1. The worker releases the compression block 10, and the spring force of the moving spring 11 causes the compression block 10 to engage with the slot, thus limiting the angle of the inner box 3 and outer box 2. The worker can then fill the hopper with materials. When the worker has finished filling the hopper, the hopper needs to be reset. When the worker presses the squeezing block 10 to the right, the squeezing block 10 moves to the right and squeezes the moving spring 11. When the squeezing block 10 separates from the slot on the U-shaped base 1, the worker pulls the rotating column 9 to the right. The rotating column 9 rotates clockwise around the fixed column 7. At the same time, the inner box 3 and the outer box 2 maintain the same movement trajectory as the rotating column 9. When the outer box 2 and the inner box 3 return to their initial state, the squeezing block 10 coincides with the slot on the U-shaped base 1. The worker releases the squeezing block 10, and the elastic force of the moving spring 11 causes the squeezing block 10 to engage with the slot, thus limiting the inner box 3 and the outer box 2. When unloading, the worker can repeat the above operation to adjust the hopper angle. If the hopper angle needs to be adjusted again, simply repeat the above operation steps.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
