[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rotary adjustable angle grab bucket, including a rotary fixed base 1, a grab bucket body 5 is provided on the left and right sides of the bottom end of the rotary fixed base 1, a hydraulic cylinder 2 is provided in the middle of the bottom end of the rotary fixed base 1, a drive beam 3 is provided at the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 2, and an opening and closing linkage group 4 is provided on both the left and right ends of the drive beam 3, with the end of the opening and closing linkage group 4 away from the drive beam 3 being provided at the top of the grab bucket body 5.
[0024] When the device is working, the hydraulic cylinder 2 moves the drive beam 3 up and down, and the drive beam 3 drives the opening and closing linkage group 4 to move. The opening and closing linkage group 4 realizes the opening and closing of the grab bucket body 5 through linkage. At the same time, the rotating fixed seat 1 can drive the grab bucket body 5 to adjust the angle in the horizontal plane so as to accurately align with the edge of the goods.
[0025] Please see Figure 2The rotating fixed base 1 includes a rotating sleeve 13 fixedly connected to the top of the hydraulic cylinder 2. A support cylinder 12 is rotatably connected inside the rotating sleeve 13. A support drive column 11 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the support cylinder 12. A grab support seat 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the grab body 5. Two connecting columns 14 are fixedly connected between the outer surface of the rotating sleeve 13 and the grab support seat 15. The top of the support drive column 11 extends to the outer side of the top of the grab support seat 15.
[0026] The support drive column 11 can drive the rotating sleeve 13 to rotate, thereby rotating the grab bucket support seat 15 and the grab bucket body 5. The connecting column 14 ensures the support and connection between the rotating sleeve 13 and the grab bucket support seat 15. The support drive column 11 extends to the outside of the grab bucket support seat 15, so that the entire device can be connected to the crane, allowing the grab bucket body 5 to adjust its horizontal angle under the drive of the rotating fixed seat 1, and accurately align with the edge of the goods.
[0027] Please see Figure 3 The support drive column 11 includes a support column 111 fixedly connected to the top of the support cylinder 12. A transmission worm gear ring 113 is rotatably connected inside the support column 111. Both sides of the transmission worm gear ring 113 are meshed with drive worms 112 that rotate inside the support drive column 111. A drive motor is provided at one end of the drive worm 112. The two drive worms 112 rotate in opposite directions. A drive gear ring 116 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission worm gear ring 113. The drive gear ring 116 is rotatably connected inside the support column 111 and its outer surface extends to the outside of the support column 111.
[0028] Please see Figure 3 The transmission worm gear ring 113 has a positioning tooth 114 meshing between every two teeth on the front and rear sides. The outer surface of the positioning tooth 114 is slidably connected to the inside of the support column 111. Two contact springs 115 are fixedly connected to the end of the positioning tooth 114 away from the transmission worm gear ring 113.
[0029] Please see Figures 2-3 The inner side of the rotating sleeve 13 is provided with rotating teeth that mesh with the drive gear ring 116, and the outer surface of the support column 111 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating sleeve 13.
[0030] When the support drive column 11 is working, the two drive worms 112 rotating in opposite directions rotate, driving the transmission worm gear ring 113 meshing with it to rotate inside the support column 111. The transmission worm gear ring 113 drives the drive gear ring 116 at the bottom to rotate. The drive gear ring 116 meshes with the rotating teeth on the inner side of the rotating sleeve 13, causing the rotating sleeve 13 to rotate. The gear meshing between the drive gear ring 116 and the support column 111 can increase the contact friction surface, making the rotation smoother and more stable. At the same time, the positioning teeth 114 on the front and rear sides of the transmission worm gear ring 113 mesh with the teeth of the transmission worm gear ring 113 under the action of the contact spring 115, realizing the positioning of the transmission worm gear ring 113 and ensuring the stable meshing transmission between the drive gear ring 116 and the rotating teeth on the inner side of the rotating sleeve 13.
[0031] Please see Figure 4 The opening and closing linkage group 4 includes two rotating linkages 41 that are rotatably connected to the drive beam 3. The rotating linkage 41 is slidably connected to a positioning moving rod 42. The end of the positioning moving rod 42 away from the rotating linkage 41 is fixedly connected to the inside of the grab bucket body 5.
[0032] When gripping irregular goods, one side jaw plate first contacts the material and generates resistance. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 2 will continue to drive the drive beam 3 to move upward. At this time, the positioning moving rod 42 will slide on the outer surface of the rotating connecting rod 41 until the other side jaw plate also contacts the goods. Then, the positioning moving rod 42 and the rotating connecting rod 41 are stretched to their longest length to grip the goods.
[0033] Please see Figure 5 The rotating link 41 includes a link body 415 rotatably connected to the drive beam 3. The link body 415 has several parallel positioning grooves 413 extending through it on the left and right sides. A damper 411 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning groove 413. A sliding column 414 is fixedly connected to the end of the damper 411 away from the positioning groove 413. The sliding column 414 is slidably connected to the inner side of the positioning groove 413. A support spring 412 is fixedly connected between the sliding column 414 and the damper 411. The outer surface of the sliding column 414 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the nearest positioning moving rod 42.
[0034] When the grab grabs irregular cargo, the positioning moving rod 42 will shift due to the shape of the cargo. At this time, the sliding column 414, which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the positioning moving rod 42, will slide within the positioning groove 413 of the connecting rod body 415. During the sliding process, the support spring 412 provides buffering and restoring elasticity, while the damper 411 plays a role in adjusting the sliding speed and stabilizing the sliding process, so that the positioning moving rod 42 can slide more smoothly on the rotating connecting rod 41, thereby causing the grab body 5 to adaptively conform to the surface of the cargo, allowing the two bucket-shaped jaws of the grab to simultaneously conform to the cargo before closing and grabbing it.
[0035] Please see Figures 1-5At work,
[0036] Using a rotary adjustable angle grab, the drive worm gear 112 is first activated to drive the transmission worm wheel ring 113 and the drive gear ring 116. The drive gear ring 116 drives the rotating sleeve 13 through rotating teeth, causing the grab body 5 to rotate in the horizontal plane and align with the cargo. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 2 is activated to push the drive beam 3 downward, which drives the rotating connecting rod 41 to move. When grabbing irregular cargo, the positioning moving rod 42 slides on the rotating connecting rod 41, the sliding column 414 slides in the positioning groove 413, the support spring 412 provides buffering and restoring force, and the damper 411 adjusts the sliding speed, so that the positioning moving rod 42 drives the grab body 5 to adaptively conform to the cargo. Finally, the grab closes to complete the grab.
