Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a funnel for filling ton bags with self-sealing cloth, belonging to the field of funnel technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the metallurgical industry, metal smelting generates a significant amount of solid waste, which needs to be promptly removed from the production workshop. The current method involves packing the waste into high-strength fiber bags and transporting them by vehicle. Each high-strength fiber bag can hold over one ton of solid waste, hence the name "ton bag." The ton bags are secured with straps for loading and unloading onto transport vehicles using cranes or forklifts; simultaneously, they are sealed with tarpaulins to prevent spillage after being filled with loose material.
[0003] Currently, the process of loading solid waste into ton bags involves two people manually opening the bag opening, using an excavator bucket to scoop up the waste and pour it into the bag. Once full, a crane or forklift is used to guide the bag to a centralized storage area to await transport by a vehicle. The manual method of opening the bag opening for loading has the following drawbacks: (1) Poor safety: The excavator bucket generates a large amount of dust when dumping waste into the bag, which can still harm the workers' health even though they wear protective equipment. In addition, the excavator bucket can easily injure workers if they are not careful. (2) Low efficiency: It is difficult to fully open the bag opening manually. When the excavator bucket dumps waste into the bag, a lot of waste will flow out from the edge of the bag opening and not be poured into the bag, affecting the loading efficiency. (3) It is difficult for two workers to keep up with the speed of the excavator loading, so one excavator needs to be equipped with multiple groups of workers, resulting in high labor costs. (4) High labor intensity when manually opening the bag. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a funnel for cleaning ton bags with self-sealing cloth that can replace manual bag holding, is highly safe, efficient, saves labor, and reduces the labor intensity of workers.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model includes a funnel body, characterized in that: two forklift arm lug tubes are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the funnel body, the axis of the forklift arm lug tubes is horizontal, and the axes of the two forklift arm lug tubes are parallel to each other, and a hook is connected to the front and rear of the lower part of each forklift arm lug tube.
[0007] The funnel body is square-pyramidal.
[0008] The inner wall of the funnel is lined with a smooth PVC board.
[0009] The funnel body has an outward-turned edge at its upper opening.
[0010] A protective plate is connected between the outer side of the forklift arm insert fitting and the edge of the funnel body opening.
[0011] The hook is a right-angle hook.
[0012] The hooks of the hooks are all oriented in the same direction.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are: it can be stably hung on the forklift arm in conjunction with a forklift, replacing manual support of the bag, making it convenient for excavators to load bags, with a large loading capacity of 90 tons of bulk material per hour, high safety, high efficiency, saving labor and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0017] In the diagram: 1-funnel body; 2-forklift arm insert fitting; 3-hook; 4-guard plate; 5-outward flange. Detailed Implementation
[0018] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this utility model includes a funnel body 1, which is square-pyramidal in shape. The inner wall of the funnel body 1 is lined with a smooth PVC plate to prevent material from sticking. The upper opening of the funnel body 1 has an outwardly flanged edge 5. Two forklift arm lug fittings 2 are symmetrically welded and fixed to the outer wall of the funnel body 1. The forklift arm lug fittings 2 are welded from channel steel, and their axes are horizontal. The axes of the two forklift arm lug fittings 2 are parallel to each other. A hook 3 is connected to the lower part of each forklift arm lug fitting, one at the front and one at the rear. The hooks 3 are right-angle hooks with the hook heads facing the same direction. A protective plate 4 is connected between the outer side of the forklift arm lug fitting 2 and the edge of the funnel body 1. The protective plate 4 not only protects the funnel body 1 but also makes the connection between the forklift arm lug fitting 2 and the funnel body 1 more secure. The upper opening of the funnel body 1 is provided with an outward flange 5, which makes it difficult for waste to spill out when the excavator bucket dumps waste into the funnel body 1, and increases the strength of the entire funnel.
[0019] In application, the forklift arms are inserted into the two forklift arm lug fittings 2 respectively, ensuring a stable connection between the utility model and the forklift arms. The forklift arms are then raised to a suitable height (for workers to easily hang the ton bag on the hooks 3). Two workers simultaneously hang the ton bag's sealing cloth and strap onto the four hooks 3. The hooks 3 are right-angle hooks with the hook heads pointing in the same direction, facilitating quick hooking and unhooking of the straps. At this point, the ton bag opening is naturally opened, with the lower opening of the funnel body 1 directly facing the opened ton bag opening. The excavator bucket pours waste material into the funnel body 1, which is easier than directly pouring waste material into the ton bag. Once the ton bag is full, it is transported by forklift to a designated location. The ton bag is then lowered and the forklift reversed, allowing the hooks 3 to be easily pulled out from the sealing cloth and bag. The entire process is clean and efficient.
