Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hopper structure technology, specifically to a hoist hopper structure. Background Technology
[0002] A hoist is a mechanical device used for vertical or inclined material conveying. It is widely used in mining, metallurgy, chemical, construction, food processing, and many other industries. Its main function is to transport bulk materials or packaged goods from a lower level to a higher level, achieving material lifting and transfer. It is a key piece of equipment for vertical material transfer in industrial production and logistics. Its design and application must be tailored to specific scenarios to balance efficiency, cost, and safety. The hoist bucket is a crucial component of the hoist, used to hold and carry materials, essentially acting as a transport container. Its main function is to grab and hold materials during hoist operation and move along with the hoist's transmission mechanism, conveying the materials from a lower level to a higher level. The hoist bucket is the core tool for material conveying; its design and selection directly affect the equipment's efficiency, stability, and service life, and must be selected specifically based on the characteristics of the materials and production needs.
[0003] In existing elevator hoppers, material is prone to splashing and overflowing from the hopper edges during loading due to its high fluidity or inertia. This not only causes material loss but also pollutes the surrounding environment, increasing cleaning costs. While some hoppers alleviate this issue by raising the hopper back plate, the fixed height of the back plate cannot adapt to the loading capacity and characteristics of different materials, resulting in poor versatility. Furthermore, some material tends to adhere to the inner wall of the hopper during use, leading to incomplete unloading each time. Over time, this accumulation reduces the actual effective volume of the hopper and lowers conveying efficiency. Traditional solutions often rely on manual knocking for cleaning, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient but can also damage the hopper structure due to uneven knocking force, making it inconvenient to use. Therefore, we propose an elevator hopper structure. Utility Model Content

Although some buckets alleviate this issue by raising the back plate, the fixed height of the back plate cannot adapt to the loading volume and characteristics of different materials, resulting in poor versatility. Furthermore, during use, some materials tend to adhere to the inner wall of the bucket, leading to incomplete unloading each time. Over time, this accumulation reduces the actual effective volume of the bucket and lowers the conveying efficiency. Traditional solutions often rely on manual knocking for cleaning, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient but may also damage the bucket structure due to uneven knocking force, making it inconvenient to use.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a lead screw is rotatably connected inside the connecting seat, and the adjusting plate is threadedly connected to the lead screw.
[0013] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the rotation of the lead screw drives the adjustment plate to move, which facilitates the rapid adjustment of the height of the protective plate during use.

[0018] This utility model provides a bucket structure for a lifting machine. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. The bucket structure of this elevator, through the installation of a first motor, worm gear, worm wheel, lead screw, adjusting plate, adjusting frame, mounting plate, and protective plate, achieves the function of protecting the bucket body. This allows the back plate of the bucket body to block more material, preventing material from splashing out of the bucket. Furthermore, the height of the protective plate can be adjusted according to actual needs, enhancing the applicability of the device. When the height of the protective plate needs to be adjusted, the first motor is started. The first motor drives the worm wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw causes the adjusting plate to move along two sets of limit rods. The adjusting plate then moves the adjusting frame, thereby adjusting the height of the protective plate. The operation is convenient.
[0020] 2. The bucket structure of this elevator incorporates a swing mechanism, a rotating shaft, a connecting block, a mounting base, and a striking hammer to achieve the function of striking the bucket body. This shakes off material adhering to the inner wall of the bucket body, preventing excessive material buildup and enhancing the device's effectiveness. When striking the bucket body is required, the second motor is activated. The second motor drives the turntable via the drive shaft, which in turn rotates the protrusions. These protrusions compress and cause the connecting frame to swing. The connecting frame then drives the rotating shaft to rotate reciprocally. The rotating shaft, through the connecting block and mounting base, drives the striking hammer to swing, thus reciprocating the striking of the bucket body. This process shakes off material adhering to the inner wall of the bucket body, preventing excessive material buildup and making operation convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0032] 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.
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0034] A bucket structure for a hoist includes a bucket body 1. A fixed base 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the bucket body 1. A rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected inside the fixed base 2. Connecting blocks 22 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer side of the rotating shaft 21. A mounting base 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 22. A hammer 23 is bolted to the bottom of the mounting base 24. A connecting base 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base 2. An adjusting plate 38 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting base 3. An adjusting frame 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting plate 38. A mounting plate 13 is bolted to the top of the mounting plate 13. A protective plate 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 13. The interior of the mounting base 2 is provided with a swing mechanism 4 that works with the rotating shaft 21. The swing mechanism 4 includes a support block 42. The support block 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 2. A drive shaft 46 is rotatably connected inside the support block 42. A turntable 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 46. A protrusion 45 is fixedly connected to one side of the turntable 41. A connecting bracket 44 that works with the protrusion 45 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 21.
[0035] In this design, the protective plate 11 protects the hopper body 1, allowing the back plate of the hopper body 1 to block more material and prevent it from splashing out of the hopper. The adjusting plate 38 moves the adjusting frame 33, thereby adjusting the height of the protective plate 11 during use, enhancing the applicability of the device. When the protective plate 11 needs to be replaced, the adjusting frame 33 and the mounting plate 13 can be separated by unscrewing the bolts, facilitating replacement. The drive shaft 46 drives the turntable 41 to rotate, and the turntable 41 drives the protrusion 45 to rotate. The movement causes the protrusion 45 to squeeze and drive the connecting frame 44 to swing. The connecting frame 44 drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate back and forth. The rotating shaft 21 drives the hammer 23 to swing through the connecting block 22 and the mounting base 24, thereby reciprocatingly striking the hopper body 1. This can shake off the material attached to the inner wall of the hopper body 1, thus preventing a large amount of material from adhering to the inner wall of the hopper body 1. The operation is convenient. When the hammer 23 needs to be replaced, the hammer 23 can be separated from the mounting base 24 by unscrewing the bolt, which facilitates the quick replacement of the hammer 23.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 4As shown: In this scheme, the hopper body 1 has an adjustment groove 12 inside, and the protective plate 11 is slidably connected to the adjustment groove 12; the inner wall of the connecting seat 3 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 35, and a limit rod 34 is fixedly connected at equal distance between the fixing plate 35 and the connecting seat 3; the adjustment plate 38 is slidably connected to the limit rod 34; the connecting seat 3 is rotatably connected to a lead screw 39 inside, and the adjustment plate 38 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 39; a worm gear 37 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw 39; a worm 36 that works with the worm gear 37 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting seat 3; a first motor 32 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting seat 3; the output end of the first motor 32 is fixedly connected to the worm 36; and a protective frame 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting seat 3.
[0037] In this solution, when the height of the protective plate 11 needs to be adjusted during use, the first motor 32 is started by the PLC controller on the outside of the fixed base 2. The first motor 32 drives the worm gear 37 to rotate through the worm 36, thereby driving the lead screw 39 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 39 drives the adjusting plate 38 to move. The movement of the adjusting plate 38 is limited by the setting of two sets of limit rods 34, so that the adjusting plate 38 can slide along the two sets of limit rods 34, thereby preventing the adjusting plate 38 from deviating during the movement, so that the adjustment plate 38 can be adjusted. The section plate 38 moves more smoothly, and the adjustment plate 38 drives the adjustment frame 33 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the protective plate 11 during use. The operation is convenient. The movement of the protective plate 11 can be limited by the setting of the adjustment groove 12, so that the protective plate 11 slides along the inner wall of the adjustment groove 12, thereby preventing the protective plate 11 from deviating during movement and enhancing the stability of the device. When the protective plate 11 needs to be replaced, the adjustment frame 33 and the mounting plate 13 can be separated by unscrewing the bolts, making it convenient to replace the protective plate 11.
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown: In this scheme, a second motor 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the support block 42, and the output end of the second motor 43 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 46.
[0039] In this solution, when the hopper body 1 needs to be struck, the second motor 43 is started. The second motor 43 drives the turntable 41 to rotate through the drive shaft 46. The turntable 41 drives the protrusion 45 to rotate, causing the protrusion 45 to squeeze and drive the connecting frame 44 to swing. The connecting frame 44 drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate back and forth. The rotating shaft 21 drives the striking hammer 23 to swing through the connecting block 22 and the mounting base 24, thereby reciprocating the striking of the hopper body 1. This can shake off the material attached to the inner wall of the hopper body 1, thus preventing a large amount of material from adhering to the inner wall of the hopper body 1. The operation is convenient. When the striking hammer 23 needs to be replaced, the bolt can be loosened to separate the striking hammer 23 from the mounting base 24, making it convenient to quickly replace the striking hammer 23.
[0040] Working principle:
[0041] In use, the battery box located on one side of the connecting seat 3 provides power to the device. The protective plate 11 protects the hopper body 1, allowing the back plate of the hopper body 1 to block more material and prevent it from splashing out of the hopper. When the height of the protective plate 11 needs to be adjusted, the first motor 32 is started by the PLC controller on the outside of the fixed seat 2. The first motor 32 drives the worm wheel 37 to rotate through the worm 36, which in turn drives the lead screw 39 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 39 causes the adjusting plate 38 to move. The movement of the adjusting plate 38 is limited by the two sets of limit rods 34, allowing the adjusting plate 38 to slide along the two sets of limit rods 34, thus preventing the adjusting plate 38 from deviating during movement and making the movement of the adjusting plate 38 more stable. The adjusting plate 38 drives the adjusting frame 33 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the protective plate 11 during use. When adjusting the hopper body 1, if the protective plate 11 needs to be replaced, simply unscrew the bolts to separate the adjusting frame 33 and the mounting plate 13 for easy replacement. When the hopper body 1 needs to be struck, start the second motor 43. The second motor 43 drives the turntable 41 to rotate via the drive shaft 46. The turntable 41 drives the protrusion 45 to rotate, causing the protrusion 45 to squeeze and drive the connecting frame 44 to swing. The connecting frame 44 drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate reciprocally. The rotating shaft 21 drives the striking hammer 23 to swing via the connecting block 22 and the mounting seat 24, thereby reciprocating the striking of the hopper body 1. This can shake off the material attached to the inner wall of the hopper body 1, thus preventing a large amount of material from adhering to the inner wall of the hopper body 1. The operation is convenient. When the striking hammer 23 needs to be replaced, simply unscrew the bolts to separate the striking hammer 23 from the mounting seat 24 for quick replacement.
