Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of loading machinery technology, and in particular to a grab bucket for grabbing and unloading bulk materials. Background Technology

[0002] A clamshell grab is a lifting device that uses the opening and closing of two combined buckets to grab and unload bulk materials. Currently used clamshell grabs have a flat bucket opening and are mainly used for loading and grabbing bulk materials such as ore, coal, slag, sand, and earthwork. However, when used to grab materials that are prone to sticking or hardening, the flat opening of the clamshell grab has a large contact area when lowering the material, which easily compacts these materials under gravity. This results in low grabbing efficiency and poor material quality when using a clamshell grab. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a shell-shaped grab bucket, which can solve the problems of low grabbing efficiency and low quality when grabbing some easily sticky or hardened materials in the existing technology.

The side plates on both sides of the two grab frames are connected by a lifting wheel pin. The two grab frames swing around the lifting wheel pin to open or close. At the upper end of the two grab frames, the lower end of the lifting rod is hinged to the upper end of the lifting rod by a lower shaft pin. The upper end of the lifting rod is hinged to the lifting frame by an upper shaft pin. The lifting wheel pin is parallel to each other. The middle part of the lifting wheel pin is a lifting winch, which is connected to the crane's wire rope. The raising and lowering of the wire rope controls the opening or closing of the two grab frames. Toothed auxiliary gripping plates are provided at the clamping point of the two grab frames. During gripping, the gripping plates of the two toothed auxiliary gripping plates are more likely to penetrate the material under the action of gravity. After the grab closes, the gripping teeth of the plates mesh completely and tightly, preventing material leakage and improving gripping efficiency and quality.

[0005] A more specific solution to the above technical solution is that the grab frame is provided with a certain number of drainage holes to facilitate the release of moisture from materials such as slag when grabbing them.
