Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of excavator buckets, and more particularly to a modular detachable excavator bucket device for river dredging. Background Technology
[0002] River dredging refers to engineering measures that remove silt, garbage, and other debris deposited on the riverbed using mechanical or manual methods to restore the river's flood control capacity and improve water quality and the ecological environment. Using excavators for silt removal is a common and efficient method, where excavators dredge the silt accumulated on the riverbed and transport it to a designated area for treatment. This process is suitable for large-area, deep silt removal and requires the coordinated operation of transport vehicles and dewatering equipment. It has advantages such as fast construction speed and adaptability to complex terrain, but care must be taken to avoid secondary damage to the riverbank structure and ecology. After dredging, the river's storage and drainage capacity can be effectively improved, ensuring water safety.
[0003] Currently, river dredging operations mainly rely on traditional fixed buckets. The front claws of traditional buckets are mostly installed with bolts or fixed installation, which cannot flexibly adjust the bucket tooth structure or replace functional components according to working conditions. In addition, when cleaning river silt, there is a lack of water filtration components, resulting in a large bucket weight and easy overloading of the excavator. To address the above problems, we have launched a modular detachable bucket device for river dredging. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model discloses a modular and detachable bucket device for river dredging, which aims to solve the technical problems of traditional buckets where the front claws are mostly installed with bolts or fixedly, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the bucket tooth structure or replace functional components according to working conditions, and lacking water filtration components when cleaning river silt, resulting in a large bucket weight and easy overloading of the excavator.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A modular, detachable bucket device for river dredging includes a bucket with a connecting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of its inner wall. A digging mechanism is provided on the outer side of the bucket, comprising an installation component and a connecting component. The installation component and the connecting component cooperate with each other. The installation component includes a limiting block, which is fixedly connected at equal intervals to both sides of the connecting plate. Connecting claws are inserted at equal intervals on the outer side of the connecting plate. A slot is provided on the side of the connecting claw closest to the connecting plate. A front claw is fitted onto the outer side of the connecting claw. An installation rod is threadedly connected to the front claw and the connecting claw.
[0007] With its excavation mechanism, the bucket's claws can be quickly replaced and installed according to working conditions, making it more flexible and convenient to use. This greatly improves the efficiency of river silt removal, and the structure is simple and highly practical.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a socket formed at the top of the connecting claw, a rod inserted into the inside of the bucket, the rod passing through the socket, one end of the rod having a threaded groove, and a nut threadedly connected to the threaded end of the rod.
[0009] The connector achieves quick positioning and installation through the engagement of the insertion hole and the insertion rod, while the threaded groove and nut provide double securing protection, making the installation of the connecting claw more stable and reliable. This design ensures both ease of assembly and disassembly and structural strength during operation, making it particularly suitable for working conditions requiring frequent replacement of working parts.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the bucket is symmetrically fixedly connected to a connecting frame, and the two connecting frames are symmetrically rotatably connected to a connecting column for connecting to external equipment.
[0011] The symmetrical arrangement and rotating connection design of the connecting columns allow the bucket to flexibly adapt to the connection requirements of different excavators, improving the equipment's versatility and adaptability. This standardized interface design facilitates quick replacement of buckets of different specifications, enhancing operational efficiency.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom inner wall of the bucket is provided with equally spaced drainage grooves for filtering water.
[0013] The equidistant opening effectively solves the problem of excessive load caused by high water content in silt during traditional excavator bucket operations. It reduces the load on the excavator by quickly draining water, while improving the silt loading efficiency, making it particularly suitable for deep water operation environments.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the back of the bucket is fixedly connected with reinforcing ribs at equal intervals.
[0015] The equidistant arrangement significantly improves the overall structural strength of the bucket, enabling it to withstand greater operating loads and extending its service life. This reinforced design is particularly suitable for handling silt containing hard debris, effectively preventing bucket deformation.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the distance between two adjacent limiting blocks is approximately equal to the width of the connecting claw.
[0017] The precise matching design between the spacing of the limit blocks and the width of the connecting claws ensures accurate positioning of each component during installation, avoids loosening during operation, improves the reliability and stability of the entire system, and maximizes the effectiveness of the modular design.
[0018] The modular, detachable bucket excavator for river dredging provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0019] Firstly, the excavation mechanism allows for quick replacement and installation of the bucket's claws according to working conditions, making it more flexible and convenient to use. This greatly improves the efficiency of river silt removal, and the structure is simple and highly practical.
[0020] Secondly, the symmetrical arrangement and rotating connection design of the connecting columns allow the bucket to flexibly adapt to the connection needs of different excavators, improving the equipment's versatility and adaptability. This standardized interface design facilitates quick replacement of buckets of different specifications, improving operational efficiency. The equidistant spacing effectively solves the problem of excessive load caused by high water content in silt during dredging operations using traditional buckets. Rapid drainage reduces the excavator load while improving silt loading efficiency, making it particularly suitable for deep-water environments. The equidistant arrangement significantly enhances the overall structural strength of the bucket, enabling it to withstand greater operational loads and extending its service life. This reinforced design is particularly suitable for handling silt containing hard debris, effectively preventing bucket deformation. The precise matching design of the limit block spacing and connecting claw width ensures accurate positioning of each component during installation, preventing loosening during operation, improving the reliability and stability of the entire system, and maximizing the effectiveness of the modular design.

[0028] The modular detachable bucket device for river dredging disclosed in this utility model is mainly applied to bucket-related scenarios.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 A modular, detachable bucket device for river dredging includes a bucket 1. A connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the bucket 1. A digging mechanism is provided on the outer side of the bucket 1. The digging mechanism includes an installation component and a connecting component, which work together. The installation component includes a limiting block 3, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plate 2 at equal intervals. Connecting claws 4 are inserted into the outer side of the connecting plate 2 at equal intervals. A slot 5 is opened on the side of the connecting claw 4 near the connecting plate 2. A front claw 6 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting claw 4. An installation rod 7 is threadedly connected to the front claw 6 and the connecting claw 4. The connecting component includes an insertion hole 8, which is opened on the top of the connecting claw 4. An insertion rod 9 is inserted into the inside of the bucket 1, passing through the insertion hole 8. One end of the insertion rod 9 has a threaded groove 10, and a nut 15 is threadedly connected to the end of the insertion rod 9 with the threaded groove 10.
[0030] In this embodiment: When the device is in operation, the operator first selects the appropriate type of front claw 6 according to the specific working conditions, such as a standard claw, a reinforced claw, or a claw with a screen. The front claw 6 is then precisely aligned with the connecting claw 4 through the slot 5 on its inner side, and the mounting rod 7 is tightened to achieve initial fixation. The insertion hole 8 at the top of the connecting claw 4 forms a positioning fit with the insertion rod 9 inside the bucket 1, and the final fixation is completed by locking the threaded groove 10 and the nut 15, ensuring structural stability during operation. Through the set digging mechanism, the bucket claws of the bucket 1 can be quickly replaced and installed according to the working conditions, making it more flexible and convenient to use, greatly improving the work efficiency of river silt removal, with a simple structure and strong practicality.
[0031] In the above technical solution, considering that the front claws of traditional excavators are mostly installed using bolts or fixed installation, it is impossible to flexibly adjust the bucket tooth structure or replace functional components according to working conditions, and when cleaning river silt, there is a lack of water filtration components, resulting in a large bucket weight and easy overloading of the excavator, the following specific operation is performed to solve these problems:
[0032] Reference Figures 1-5 In a preferred embodiment, the top of the bucket 1 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to a connecting frame 11, and the two connecting frames 11 are symmetrically and rotatably connected to connecting posts 12 for connecting to external equipment. Drainage grooves 13 for filtering water are equidistantly provided on the bottom of the inner wall of the bucket 1. Reinforcing ribs 14 are equidistantly and fixedly connected to the back of the bucket 1. The distance between two adjacent limiting blocks 3 is the same as the width of the connecting claw 4.
[0033] In this embodiment, the symmetrical arrangement and rotating connection design of the connecting column 12 allow the bucket 1 to flexibly adapt to the connection requirements of different excavators, improving the equipment's versatility and adaptability. This standardized interface design facilitates quick replacement of buckets 1 of different specifications, improving operational efficiency. The equidistant spacing effectively solves the problem of excessive load caused by high water content in silt during dredging operations using traditional buckets. Rapid drainage reduces the excavator load while improving silt loading efficiency, making it particularly suitable for deep-water environments. The equidistant arrangement significantly enhances the overall structural strength of the bucket 1, enabling it to withstand greater operational loads and extending its service life. This reinforced design is particularly suitable for handling silt containing hard debris, effectively preventing bucket 1 deformation. The precise matching design of the spacing between the limiting blocks 3 and the width of the connecting claws 4 ensures accurate positioning of each component during installation, avoiding loosening during operation, improving the reliability and stability of the entire system, and maximizing the effectiveness of the modular design.
[0034] Working Principle: When the device is in operation, the operator first selects the appropriate type of front claw 6 (such as a standard claw, reinforced claw, or claw with a screen) according to the specific working conditions. The front claw 6 is then precisely aligned with the connecting claw 4 through the slot 5 on its inner side, and the mounting rod 7 is tightened for initial fixation. The insertion hole 8 at the top of the connecting claw 4 forms a positioning fit with the insertion rod 9 inside the bucket 1. Final fixation is achieved through the locking of the threaded groove 10 and the nut 15, ensuring structural stability during operation. During excavation, the bucket 1 is flexibly connected to the excavator arm through the symmetrically arranged connecting frame 11 at the top and the rotatable connecting column 12, allowing the bucket to adapt to different excavation angles. When the bucket 1 cuts into the silt, the equally spaced drainage channels 13 at the bottom of the inner wall quickly drain excess water from the silt, effectively reducing the load on the bucket 1 and preventing excavator overload. The equally spaced reinforcing ribs 14 on the back of the bucket 1 provide additional support for the entire structure, enabling it to withstand impact loads containing hard debris such as gravel and branches. The precise dimensional fit between the limiting block 3 and the connecting claw 4 ensures that all components are installed in place, preventing loosening during operation. When it is necessary to replace working parts or deal with different working conditions, simply loosen the mounting rod 7 and nut 15 for quick disassembly and replacement, achieving seamless switching between various working scenarios such as cleaning soft sludge and handling sludge containing hard objects, greatly improving work efficiency and equipment utilization.
[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
