Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of skid steer loader technology, and more specifically, to a multi-purpose bucket for skid steer loaders. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most combination buckets used in skid steer loaders only have loading, shoveling, clamping, and ground leveling functions. They cannot handle scenarios requiring forklift loading capabilities, such as moving palletized goods or picking up loose items, thus failing to meet diverse operational needs. The limited functionality of these combination buckets restricts their adaptability to different working conditions and materials. For example, in locations requiring frequent forklift and shovel loading transitions, such as logistics warehouses and small construction sites, the inability to quickly switch operating modes affects the equipment's effectiveness and applicability. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a multi-purpose bucket for skid steer loaders that overcomes or at least partially solves the above technical problems.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-purpose bucket for a skid steer loader, comprising a front bucket body 1, a rear bucket body 2, a pin 4, a hydraulic cylinder 6, a fork 7, a guide rail 9, and a bracket 10. The front bucket body and the rear bucket body are hinged to the loader via the pin 4. The rear part of the front bucket body can be embedded in the rear bucket body. One end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the rear bucket body 2 via the pin 4, and the other end is connected to the front bucket body 1 via the pin 4. The middle of the guide rail 9 is installed in the middle sleeve of the rear bucket body 2, and the two ends of the guide rail 9 are respectively installed in the holes of the two brackets. The two brackets 10 are fixed to the rear bucket body 2 by bolts. The rear part of the fork 7 is slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, two hydraulic cylinders 6 are arranged in parallel.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the intermediate sleeve is located on the rear bucket body 2 and is used to install a cylindrical guide rail. The intermediate sleeve has an inner hole structure that is adapted to the cylindrical guide rail 9. The guide rail 9 passes through the intermediate sleeve, and the middle part of the guide rail 9 is installed in conjunction with the intermediate sleeve, thereby realizing the connection between the guide rail 9 and the rear bucket body 2 at the middle position.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the fork spatula is flat and elongated.

[0024] In this invention, during the operation of the combined bucket, the intermediate sleeve participates in transmitting the force on the rear bucket body 2 to the guide rail 9, and vice versa, thereby ensuring the continuity of force transmission and movement throughout the entire system. For example, when the forklift 6 picks up goods, the weight of the goods is transmitted to the intermediate sleeve through the guide rail 9, and then from the intermediate sleeve to the rear bucket body 2, which is then used by the loader for handling and other operations.

[0025] Specifically, the working process or principle of a multi-purpose bucket for a skid steer loader is as follows: Positioning: The loader moves the entire combined bucket to the vicinity of the item to be lifted. The forks are aligned with the bottom of the item by operating the loader. Inserting the Item: Depending on the specific item, the forks are controlled to slide on the guide rails, adjusting their position to accurately insert into the bottom gap of the item. Lifting the Item: After insertion, the loader lifts the rear bucket (because the forks are mounted on the guide rails of the rear bucket). As the rear bucket rises, the forks lift the item off the ground. Transporting or Placing: After the loader moves to the target location, the rear bucket is lowered to place the item at the designated location. Then, the forks are pulled out from the bottom of the item, completing the lifting and transporting operation.

[0026] When not using the forks, simply remove the two brackets to detach the guide rails and the forks mounted on them. Loading: Drive the loader to the location of the material to be loaded. By controlling the piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders to extend, the front bucket rotates around the pivot, creating a large opening between it and the rear bucket. Then, advance the combined bucket forward, inserting the rear bucket into the material pile. Next, control the hydraulic cylinder piston rods to retract, causing the front bucket to rotate and gradually close, shoveling the material into the buckets, completing the loading action. Transporting: After loading the material, raise the combined bucket to a certain height and drive the loader to the designated unloading location. During movement, keep the front and rear buckets closed to prevent material spillage. Clamping: When clamping large objects, bring the combined bucket close to the object. Control the hydraulic cylinders to open the front bucket to a suitable angle, positioning the object between the front and rear buckets. Then, control the hydraulic cylinder piston rods to retract, gradually closing the front and rear buckets to clamp the object. After the object is securely clamped, the combined bucket can be lifted and moved to the designated position. Then, the hydraulic cylinder piston rod is extended to open the front bucket and lower the object. Leveling the ground: Adjust the front and rear buckets of the combined bucket to a relatively flat state. Drive the loader slowly across the ground that needs leveling, using the bottom surfaces of the front and rear buckets to smooth out any protrusions or fill in any depressions. Through repeated back-and-forth operations, the ground will be leveled.

[0027] Throughout the process, the front and rear buckets can be opened by the hydraulic cylinders to allow the forks to easily insert and lift the items. The state of the front and rear buckets can also be adjusted as needed during transport to facilitate operation.
