Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dump truck technology, specifically to a fully automatic unloading spreader. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional dump trucks require a hydraulic system to lift the cargo bin to a certain angle before unloading, relying on the material's own weight. However, during the lifting process, the vehicle's center of gravity shifts significantly upwards along with the position of the bin and its contents. This lifts weight that was originally distributed at the bottom of the vehicle, disrupting its stability. In such cases, uneven road surfaces (such as potholes, slopes, or protruding gravel) can cause significant differences in the support forces on both sides of the vehicle. This risk is further amplified when the material in the bin is unevenly loaded or when the center of gravity suddenly shifts during unloading, potentially damaging the vehicle and posing a serious safety threat to nearby personnel and equipment. Therefore, we propose a fully automatic unloading spreader to address these issues. Utility Model Content
