The locking device 3 opens and closes to release and lock the locking rod 4. In use, when transporting goods, the locking device 3 closes to lock the locking rod 4, preventing the tipper body 1 from tilting during the transport of goods. When the goods are transported to the designated position, the locking device 3 opens to release the locking rod 4, and the tipper body 1 tilts under the influence of the weight of the goods, thus unloading the goods.

[0032] By setting the locking device 3 and the locking rod 4 together, the locking rod 4 can be loosened and locked by controlling the opening and closing of the locking device 3. This realizes the loosening and locking of the tipping bucket body 1, preventing it from tilting during cargo transportation and causing cargo to scatter, thus improving work efficiency and avoiding economic losses and safety accidents caused by cargo tilting and rolling, thereby improving safety.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figures 2-5 The tipping bucket body 1 has a fixed cylinder 6 at its bottom and a rotating shaft 7 at its front end. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the fixed cylinder 6. There are two of each type of fork shoe 2 and fixed cylinder 6. The rotatable connection between the rotating shaft 7 and the fixed cylinder 6 enables the tipping bucket body 1 to rotate, facilitating the loading and unloading of goods.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-7The tipping bucket body 1 is provided with a first fixed plate 12, and a locking rod 4 is provided on the first fixed plate 12. A first reinforcing plate 11 is provided between the fork shoes 2, and a second fixed plate 13 is provided on the first reinforcing plate 11. A locking device 3 is provided on the second fixed plate 13. The locking device 3 is provided with a third fixed plate 301, which is provided on the second fixed plate 13. A Z-shaped rotating plate 302 is rotatably connected to the third fixed plate 301. A fixing groove 303 is provided on the third fixed plate 301, and the locking rod 4 is placed in the fixing groove 303. The driven end of the rotating plate 302 cooperates with the fixing groove 303 to loosen and lock the locking rod 4. A spring 304 is provided on the driving end of the rotating plate 302, and the other end of the spring 304 is connected to the second fixed plate 13.

[0035] In use, when transporting goods, the locking rod 4 is placed in the fixed groove 303, and the rotating plate 302 is in its original position. The driven end of the rotating plate 302 cooperates with the fixed groove 303 to lock the locking rod 4. When the goods are transported to the designated position, the driving end of the rotating plate 302 is pulled, and the rotating plate 302 rotates. The driven end of the rotating plate 302 loses its fixing effect on the rotating plate 302, and the tipping bucket body 1 tilts under the influence of the weight of the goods, causing the locking rod 4 to leave the fixed groove 303. The tipping bucket body 1 continues to tilt and flip to unload the goods. At this time, the driving end of the rotating plate 302 is released, and the rotating plate 302 returns to its original position under the action of the spring 304.

[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2-4 The fixed cylinder 6 is located at the bottom of the tipping body 1 on the side near the locking rod 4. This design allows the tipping body 1 to automatically tilt under the influence of the weight of the cargo.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2-5 and Figure 8 The bottom of the tipping bucket body 1 is also provided with a limiting block 9, which is located in front of the fixed cylinder 6. The limiting block 9 is provided with a limiting protrusion 10. When the tipping bucket body 1 rotates to its maximum angle, the limiting protrusion 10 contacts the fork shoe 2, so that the tipping bucket body 1 stops rotating. The limiting protrusion 10 is used to limit the tipping bucket body 1 and prevent it from being unable to return to its original position due to excessive rotation angle.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The fork shoe 2 is equipped with a locking element 8, which is used to fix the fork shoe 2 to the fork of the forklift, thereby improving safety and stability during use.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1The locking element 8 is a bolt, and its inner end passes through the fork shoe 2 and extends into the interior of the fork shoe 2. The locking element 8 can also be a snap-fit ​​or other type of fastener, depending on the specific design requirements. Using a bolt for the locking element 8 allows for quick attachment and removal of the fork shoe 2 from the forks.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figures 6-7 The active end of the rotating plate 302 is equipped with a pull rope 5, which allows the forklift driver to control the opening and closing of the locking device 3 by pulling the rope 5, making operation convenient.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 The front end of the fork shoe 2 is wedge-shaped, which makes it easier for the front end of the fork 2 to slide into the bottom or gap of the goods when it comes into contact with them.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 A second reinforcing plate 14 is provided between the first reinforcing plate 11 and the fork shoe 2. Both the first reinforcing plate 11 and the second reinforcing plate 14 are used to improve the strength and stability of the tipping bucket.

[0043] The following combination Figures 1-8 The working process of a forklift tipper according to this application is described as follows:

[0044] When transporting goods, the locking rod 4 is placed in the fixed groove 303, and the driven end of the rotating plate 302 cooperates with the fixed groove 303 to lock the locking rod 4. When the goods are transported to the designated position, the driving end of the rotating plate 302 is pulled by the pull rope 5, and the rotating plate 302 rotates. The driven end of the rotating plate 302 loses its fixing effect on the rotating plate 302, and the tipping bucket body 1 tilts under the influence of the weight of the goods, so that the locking rod 4 leaves the fixed groove 303. The tipping bucket body 1 continues to tilt and flip to unload the goods. At this time, the pull rope 5 is released, and the rotating plate 302 returns to its original position under the action of the spring 304.

[0045] After unloading, the forklift controls the fork shoe 2 to descend. When the tipper body 1 contacts the ground, it rotates upward around the pivot 7 due to the influence of the ground. At this time, the pull rope 5 pulls the active end of the rotating plate 302 again, so that the locking rod 4 enters the fixing groove 303. When the pull rope 5 is released, the rotating plate 302 returns to its original position under the action of the spring 304, thus locking the tipper body 1.

[0046] In summary, this utility model provides a forklift tipper bucket. By incorporating a locking device and a locking rod, the locking rod can be loosened and locked by controlling the opening and closing of the locking device. This achieves both loosening and locking of the tipper bucket body, preventing it from tilting during cargo transportation and causing goods to scatter.
