Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aerial work platforms, and in particular to a working bucket for an aerial work platform. Background Technology

[0002] Existing aerial work platform trucks have relatively limited functionality in their work buckets, failing to meet diverse work requirements. For example, they cannot detect the load capacity of the work bucket; overloading can seriously endanger the operator's safety. They also lack anti-collision mechanisms, making them prone to collisions with objects. Furthermore, the guardrails of most work buckets consist of crisscrossing horizontal and vertical bars with large gaps. In actual operation, operators may experience lapses in concentration or improper handling, causing items to slip from their hands and fall through these gaps, creating a significant safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model aims to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a working bucket for an aerial work platform.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a working bucket for an aerial work platform includes a base plate, uprights installed at the four corners of the top of the base plate, and side railings installed between adjacent uprights. The side railing on one wide side of the base plate is hinged to an adjacent upright and has a locking mechanism between it and the adjacent upright. A telescopic shielding mechanism is installed in the gap between the horizontal and vertical bars of the side railing. A weighing sensor is installed at the center of the bottom of the base plate, and distance sensors are embedded on the four sides of the base plate. A buzzer is installed on one side of the base plate. The weighing sensor, distance sensor, and buzzer are respectively connected to the control console of the aerial work platform. An anti-collision mechanism is installed on the outside of the side railing.

[0005] Specifically, the locking mechanism includes a sleeve and a U-shaped rod. The sleeve is fixed to the outer vertical bar and the adjacent post of the side guardrail, and the U-shaped rod is inserted into two adjacent sleeves.

[0006] Specifically, the shielding mechanism includes a mounting box, an automatic telescopic mesh reel, a sliding groove, and a fixing rod. The mounting box is installed on the inner wall of one side of the gap, the sliding groove is installed on the inner walls of the upper and lower sides of the gap, and the fixing rod is installed on the inner wall of the other side of the gap. The automatic telescopic mesh reel is installed in the mounting box and a locking rod is installed on its extended end. The mounting box has an opening on the side facing the fixing rod. The locking rod and the mesh of the automatic telescopic mesh reel slide along the sliding groove. A fixing mechanism is provided between the locking rod and the fixing rod.

[0007] Specifically, the fixing mechanism includes strong magnets mounted on the opposing surfaces of the locking rod and the fixing rod, with the locking rod magnetically fixed to the fixing rod by the strong magnets.

[0008] Specifically, the fixing mechanism includes hooks rotatably connected to the top and bottom of the locking rod facing the inner side wall of the working bucket, and a hanging ring installed on the fixing rod corresponding to the hooks. The locking rod is fixed to the fixing rod by being hung on the hanging ring via the hooks.

[0009] Specifically, the anti-collision mechanism includes several spring buffer posts embedded on the outside of the side guardrail vertical bars. Anti-collision plates are installed at the ends of the spring buffer posts located at the same height as the side guardrail. Rubber buffer pads are installed on the outside of the anti-collision plates. Corrugated expansion tubes connect the anti-collision plates and the side guardrail vertical bars, and the spring buffer posts are located inside the corrugated expansion tubes.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a weighing sensor, this utility model can avoid the safety hazards caused by overloading of the working bucket; by setting a distance measuring sensor, it is easy to detect the distance between the working bucket and external objects, reducing the risk of collision; the anti-collision mechanism can also mitigate the impact of collisions; by setting a telescopic shielding mechanism, it is easy to cover the gaps on the guardrail, and the shielding operation is simple and quick, flexible and convenient to use, and can also effectively prevent items from falling and reduce safety hazards.
