Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drainage ditch cleaning equipment, specifically to a drainage ditch cleaning bucket. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional drainage ditch cleaning operations, the bucket, as a key tool, suffers from numerous thorny problems due to structural design flaws, severely impacting the efficiency and safety of the cleaning work. Firstly, there's the issue of waste backflow. When the bucket accurately scoops up waste from the drainage ditch, this should be the start of efficient cleaning. However, problems arise once the bucket stops moving or begins lifting. Since the bucket inevitably has a scooping opening, without an effective sealing structure, the debris already gathered inside seems to lose its restraint, easily flowing back out from the opening. This backflowing waste scatters back into the drainage ditch, rendering the previous cleaning work futile. This recurring cycle not only prolongs the time of each cleaning operation but also significantly reduces overall cleaning efficiency, making the already arduous task of drainage ditch cleaning even more time-consuming and labor-intensive. Cumbersome operation is another major problem. Some traditional buckets use manual baffles or mechanical locking devices to achieve a certain degree of sealing or fixing. In practice, each opening and closing of the bucket requires manual intervention from the operator. During the cleanup operation, the operator needs to frequently switch between different operational stages, paying attention to the bucket's position and working status while also operating the baffles or locking devices. This not only increases the operator's workload but also easily leads to work interruptions due to operational errors, further increasing the complexity of the operation and reducing the smoothness of the work.

[0003] Furthermore, poor adaptability is also a significant issue. The connection structure between traditional buckets and commonly used equipment such as forklifts is often unstable. In actual drainage ditch cleaning operations, the equipment needs to frequently move, turn, and lift, and these dynamic operations exert considerable forces on the connection between the bucket and the equipment. Due to the instability of the connection structure, the bucket is highly prone to detachment during operation. Once the bucket detaches, it not only forces the cleaning operation to stop but also poses a serious safety threat to surrounding personnel and equipment, creating a significant safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem this utility model aims to solve is to provide a drainage ditch cleaning bucket to prevent debris from flowing back from the bucket opening when the bucket stops moving or lifting after scooping up waste, thus reducing cleaning efficiency due to the lack of an effective sealing structure.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is: a drainage ditch cleaning bucket, comprising:

[0006] Bucket frame;

[0007] The bucket body is disposed on one side of the bucket frame, and the bucket body has a receiving groove inside, with a shovel opening formed on the front side of the receiving groove;

[0008] The mudguard has its first end hinged to the top of the shovel opening of the bucket body. Under its own weight, its second end can rotate around the hinge point to the closed position and abut against the bottom surface of the receiving groove, thereby separating the receiving groove from the shovel opening.

[0009] A limiting mechanism is provided on the bucket frame to limit the second end of the mudguard from rotating towards the front of the bucket opening when it is rotated to the closed position;

[0010] When the bucket body moves toward the waste in the drainage ditch, the waste can push the second end of the mudguard to rotate into the receiving trough, so that the waste can enter the receiving trough.

[0011] When the bucket body stops moving, the second end of the mudguard rotates around the hinge end to the closed position under its own weight, abutting against the bottom surface of the receiving groove, thereby separating the receiving groove from the shovel opening.

[0012] A drainage ditch cleaning bucket utilizes the combined action of the mudguard's own weight and a limiting mechanism to automatically open and close the mudguard during cleaning operations. When the bucket approaches waste in the drainage ditch, the waste easily pushes aside the mudguard, allowing the bucket to quickly load the waste and significantly improving the efficiency of a single cleaning operation. When the bucket stops moving, the mudguard automatically closes quickly under its own weight, effectively preventing waste backflow and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the cleaning work, reducing unnecessary repetitive operations. The limiting mechanism is firmly mounted on the bucket frame, precisely limiting the mudguard's rotation towards the front of the bucket opening when closed, ensuring the stability of the mudguard's closed state. The entire cleaning process requires no manual intervention to open or close the mudguard; operators only need to focus on moving the bucket, greatly simplifying the cleaning process. This convenient operation method effectively reduces the workload of operators, decreases manpower input, and also reduces the risk of human error, significantly improving the safety and efficiency of drainage ditch cleaning.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting frame and a limiting rope. The limiting frame is located above the bucket body and is fixedly installed on the bucket frame. One end of the limiting rope is connected to the limiting frame, with the connection point located on the rear side of the mudguard. The other end is fixedly connected to the second end of the mudguard. When the second end of the mudguard rotates to the closed position, the limiting rope is in a taut state, which is used to restrict the second end of the mudguard from rotating towards the front of the shovel opening when it rotates to the closed position.

[0014] The limiting mechanism employs a combination of a limiting frame and a limiting rope. The limiting frame is mounted on the bucket frame above the bucket body, and the limiting rope connects the limiting frame to the second end of the mudguard. When the mudguard rotates to the closed position, the limiting rope tightens, restricting its rotation towards the front of the bucket opening. This design is not only simple in structure and low in cost, but also provides reliable limiting performance. Compared to some complex mechanical limiting devices, it reduces the probability of malfunctions, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures the mudguard remains stable and reliable in the closed position, effectively preventing waste backflow.

[0015] Furthermore, a connecting ring is fixedly connected to the middle of the second end of the mudguard. The connecting ring has a through hole at its center and is circular in shape. The other end of the limiting rope is wound around the connecting ring.

[0016] A circular connecting ring with a through hole is fixedly connected to the middle of the second end of the mudguard, and the limiting rope is wound around the connecting ring. The design of the connecting ring makes the connection between the limiting rope and the mudguard more stable and flexible.

[0017] Furthermore, the bucket frame includes two crossbeams and two longitudinal beams. The two crossbeams are arranged longitudinally at intervals, and the longitudinal beams are arranged laterally at intervals, with the crossbeams and longitudinal beams intersecting each other in a "well" pattern.

[0018] The bucket frame consists of two crossbeams and two longitudinal beams arranged in a crisscross pattern. This structural design greatly enhances the overall strength and stability of the bucket frame. The crisscross structure evenly distributes force, effectively transferring and dispersing the weight of waste or the impact forces experienced during movement when the bucket is cleaning. This reduces the risk of deformation due to excessive localized stress, thus ensuring the normal operation and extended service life of the bucket.

[0019] Furthermore, the rear end of the longitudinal beam is provided with a connecting groove along the longitudinal direction. The cross-section of the connecting groove matches the cross-section of the forklift's steel fork, allowing the forklift's steel fork to pass through.

[0020] The rear end of the longitudinal beam has a connecting groove that matches the cross-section of the forklift forks, facilitating the insertion of the forklift forks. This makes connecting the drainage ditch cleaning bucket to the forklift simple and quick, enabling rapid docking of the bucket and forklift. No complicated installation steps are required; operators can complete the installation and disassembly of the bucket in a short time, improving the equipment's flexibility and work efficiency, and allowing for rapid switching between different work scenarios.

[0021] Furthermore, an anti-detachment mechanism is provided between the longitudinal beam and the forklift's steel fork to prevent the steel fork from detaching from the connecting groove.

[0022] The anti-detachment mechanism effectively prevents the forklift forks from detaching from the connecting groove of the longitudinal beam during operation. During drainage ditch cleaning operations, the bucket may be subjected to various external forces, such as bumps and collisions. If the connection between the forks and the longitudinal beam is unstable, the forks can easily detach in both forward and backward directions, not only affecting the normal progress of the cleaning work but also potentially causing safety accidents. The anti-detachment mechanism, through a reliable limiting method, ensures a tight connection between the forks and the longitudinal beam, improving the safety and stability of the operation.

[0023] Furthermore, the anti-detachment mechanism includes a bucket anti-detachment tube, a fork anti-detachment tube, and an n-shaped connector. The bucket anti-detachment tube is installed on the longitudinal beam and has a first vertical through-hole in its center. The fork anti-detachment tube is located on one side of the fork of the forklift and has a second vertical through-hole in its center. The lower two sides of the n-shaped connector are respectively provided with a first insertion tube and a second insertion tube. When the distance between the first insertion tube and the second insertion tube is equal to the axial distance between the first insertion tube and the second insertion tube, the first insertion tube is vertically inserted into the first insertion tube and the second insertion tube is vertically inserted into the second insertion tube, so that the forklift's fork cannot move back and forth along the direction of its insertion into the connecting groove of the longitudinal beam, thereby forming a limit in the insertion direction.

[0024] This anti-detachment mechanism consists of a bucket anti-detachment tube, a fork anti-detachment tube, and an N-shaped connector. The first and second insertion tubes are inserted into corresponding interfaces, creating a longitudinal limit between the forklift forks and the longitudinal beam. This ingenious design facilitates easy installation and disassembly. When the bucket needs to be replaced or equipment maintenance is required, the N-shaped connector can be easily pulled out, separating the forks from the longitudinal beam. During operation, it provides reliable limiting to prevent the forks from sliding outwards or backwards, ensuring smooth cleaning operations and safe equipment use. Attached Figure Description

Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A drainage ditch cleaning bucket mainly consists of a bucket frame 1, a bucket body 2, a mudguard 3, and a limiting mechanism 4.

[0034] The bucket frame 1 is the supporting structure of the entire bucket, consisting of two longitudinally spaced crossbeams 1.1 and two transversely spaced longitudinal beams 1.2 arranged in a crisscross pattern. This structural design not only enhances the overall strength and stability of the bucket frame 1 but also evenly distributes stress when subjected to large external forces, extending the service life of the bucket. A connecting groove 1.2.1 is longitudinally provided at the rear end of the longitudinal beams 1.2. The cross-section of this connecting groove 1.2.1 precisely matches the cross-section of the forklift's steel forks, facilitating smooth insertion of the forklift's forks and enabling rapid connection between the bucket and the forklift. To prevent the forks from detaching from the connecting groove 1.2.1 during operation, an anti-detachment mechanism 6 is specially installed between the longitudinal beams 1.2 and the forklift's steel forks.

[0035] The anti-detachment mechanism 6 includes a bucket anti-detachment tube 6.1, a fork anti-detachment tube 6.2, and an n-shaped connector 6.3. The bucket anti-detachment tube 6.1 is made of high-strength metal and is installed on the longitudinal beam 1.2, with a vertically penetrating first insertion port 6.1.1 at its center. The fork anti-detachment tube 6.2 is also made of durable metal and is located on one side of the forklift's forks, with a vertically penetrating second insertion port 6.2.1 at its center. The lower two sides of the n-shaped connector 6.3 are respectively provided with a first insertion tube 6.3.1 and a second insertion tube 6.3.2. When the distance between the first insertion port 6.1.1 and the second insertion port 6.2.1 is equal to the axial distance between the first insertion tube 6.3.1 and the second insertion tube 6.3.2, the first insertion tube 6.3.1 is vertically inserted into the first insertion port 6.1.1, and the second insertion tube 6.3.2 is vertically inserted into the second insertion port 6.2.1. This prevents the forklift's steel fork from moving back and forth along the direction of its insertion into the connecting groove 1.2.1 of the longitudinal beam 1.2, thus forming a reliable limit in this insertion direction and ensuring the safety and stability of the operation process.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 The bucket body 2 is located on one side of the bucket frame 1, and its interior has a receiving groove 2.1 for accommodating waste. The front side of the receiving groove 2.1 forms a shovel opening 2.2. The first end of the mudguard 3 is hinged to the shovel opening 2.2 of the bucket body 2. This hinged connection ensures that the mudguard 3 can rotate flexibly while maintaining high connection strength. Under its own weight, the second end of the mudguard 3 can naturally rotate around the hinge point to the closed position and abut tightly against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 2.1, thereby separating the receiving groove 2.1 from the shovel opening 2.2.

[0037] A limiting mechanism 4 is mounted on the bucket frame 1 to restrict the second end of the mudguard 3 from rotating towards the front of the bucket opening 2.2 when it is rotated to the closed position. The limiting mechanism 4 includes a limiting frame 4.1 and a limiting rope 4.2. The limiting frame 4.1 is made of sturdy steel and is located above the bucket body 2 and fixedly mounted on the bucket frame 1. The limiting rope 4.2 is made of high-strength, wear-resistant nylon. One end of the rope is connected to the limiting frame 4.1 at the rear of the mudguard 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second end of the mudguard 3. To facilitate the connection between the limiting rope 4.2 and the mudguard 3 and ensure the stability of the connection, a connecting ring 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the second end of the mudguard 3. The connecting ring 5 is made of metal, has a through hole in the center, and is circular in shape. The other end of the limiting rope 4.2 is wound around the connecting ring 5. When the second end of the mudguard 3 is rotated to the closed position, the limiting rope 4.2 is taut, which effectively restricts the mudguard 3 from rotating in front of the shovel opening 2.2.

[0038] In actual use, when the bucket body 2 moves toward the waste in the drainage ditch, the thrust generated by the waste can push the second end of the mudguard 3 to rotate into the receiving groove 2.1, so that the waste can smoothly enter the receiving groove 2.1; when the bucket body 2 stops moving, the second end of the mudguard 3 rotates around the hinge end to the closed position under its own weight, and abuts against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 2.1, thereby separating the receiving groove 2.1 from the shovel opening 2.2 and preventing the waste from flowing back.

[0039] The above description only illustrates the preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and variations in its specific structure are permitted. All changes made within the scope of the independent claims of this utility model are also within the scope of protection of this utility model.
