[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, existing containers are generally equipped with hydraulic components at the center to tilt the container during lifting operations. However, due to the uneven distribution of materials inside the container, the center of gravity is easily shifted when the central hydraulic component lifts the container, resulting in unstable tilting and inability to provide safe support. In the event of accidental failure of the hydraulic component, the container is prone to deflection, posing certain safety hazards. This utility model proposes a hydraulic tilting container with an off-center cylinder.

Multiple hydraulic cylinders are rotatably connected to the surface of the first connecting rod. The top of the support base is movably connected to the container body through a rotating shaft, and a limit component is installed at the bottom of the container body.

[0006] The limiting component includes a third mounting base, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of a support base. A third connecting rod is fixedly installed between two adjacent support bases. A storage bin is rotatably connected to the surface of the third connecting rod. A displacement rod is movably installed inside the storage bin. Limiting holes are provided on the surfaces of both the storage bin and the displacement rod.

An auxiliary rod is fixedly connected between two fixing plates. A second torsion spring is fixedly sleeved on both ends of the auxiliary rod. An auxiliary plate is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the auxiliary rod. A protrusion is fixedly embedded at the bottom of the auxiliary plate. A groove is provided on the surface of the insert rod.

[0007] Preferably, a second mounting base is fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the container body. There are several second mounting bases, and a second connecting rod is fixedly connected between two second mounting bases. The output end of the multi-section hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the surface of the second connecting rod, and there are two limiting components.

[0008] Preferably, there are several third mounting seats, the surface of the displacement rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the storage bucket, and a fourth mounting seat is fixedly installed at the bottom of the container body. There are two fourth mounting seats, and a fourth connecting rod is fixedly connected between two adjacent fourth mounting seats. The surface of the displacement rod is rotatably connected to the surface of the fourth connecting rod.

[0009] Preferably, a cylinder is movably mounted on the surface of the displacement rod, a first torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder, a round rod is fixedly mounted on the right end of the first torsion spring, a limit block is fixedly connected to the right end of the round rod, a nut is threaded on the surface of the round rod, the surface of the nut is threadedly connected to the limit block, and a handle is fixedly mounted on the left side of the cylinder.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention utilizes a limiting component. During the side-tipping process, when the displacement rod moves to the appropriate position, its surface limiting hole aligns with the limiting hole of the storage bucket. At this point, the insertion rod and the round rod are inserted into the inner cavity of the limiting hole.

[0021] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses an off-center hydraulic cylinder-driven side-tipping container. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 4A type of off-center hydraulic tipping container includes a support base 1, with first mounting seats 3 fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the top of the support base 1; there are two first mounting seats 3, and a first connecting rod 4 is fixedly installed between the two first mounting seats 3. Multiple hydraulic cylinders 5 are rotatably connected to the surface of the first connecting rod 4. The top of the support base 1 is movably connected to the container body 2 through a rotating shaft, and a limit component 8 is installed at the bottom of the container body 2.

[0024] The limiting component 8 includes a third mounting base 801, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1. A third connecting rod 802 is fixedly installed between two adjacent support bases 1. A storage bin 803 is rotatably connected to the surface of the third connecting rod 802. A displacement rod 804 is movably installed inside the storage bin 803. Limiting holes 810 are provided on the surfaces of both the storage bin 803 and the displacement rod 804. A fourth mounting base 805 is provided at the bottom of the container body 2. A storage shell 812 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fourth mounting base 805. The surface of the storage bin 803 is movably connected to the storage shell 803. A connecting rod 816 is connected to the storage shell 812, and a fixing plate 817 is fixedly installed on the surface of the shell 812. An auxiliary rod 818 is fixedly connected between the two fixing plates 817. A second torsion spring 819 is fixedly sleeved on both the left and right ends of the auxiliary rod 818. An auxiliary plate 820 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the auxiliary rod 818. A protrusion 821 is fixedly embedded at the bottom of the auxiliary plate 820. A groove 822 is opened on the surface of the connecting rod 816. Through the setting of the first mounting seat 3, it can be used in conjunction with the first connecting rod 4 to distribute the load, improve the torsional resistance of the support base 1, and prevent the support base 1 from deforming when it is overturned.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The container body 2 has a number of second mounting seats 6 fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the bottom. A second connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected between two second mounting seats 6. The output end of the multi-section hydraulic cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the surface of the second connecting rod 7. There are two limiting components 8. By setting the multi-section hydraulic cylinder 5, compared with traditional equipment, the off-center design can balance the center of gravity shift caused by uneven material distribution and reduce the torque imbalance problem when overturning.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3There are several third mounting bases 801. The surface of the displacement rod 804 is movably connected to the inner wall of the storage bucket 803. The bottom of the container body 2 is fixedly installed with a fourth mounting base 805. There are two fourth mounting bases 805. A fourth connecting rod 806 is fixedly connected between two adjacent fourth mounting bases 805. The surface of the displacement rod 804 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fourth connecting rod 806. Through the setting of the displacement rod 804, it can slide to connect with the storage bucket 803, which can adapt to the displacement changes when the container body 2 is overturned and avoid deformation caused by rigid collision.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A cylinder 807 is movably mounted on the surface of the displacement rod 804. A first torsion spring 809 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 807. A round rod 808 is fixedly mounted on the right end of the first torsion spring 809. A limit block 813 is fixedly connected to the right end of the round rod 808. A nut 823 is threaded on the surface of the round rod 808. The surface of the nut 823 is threadedly connected to the limit block 813. A handle 811 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the cylinder 807. Through the setting of the cylinder 807, the first torsion spring 809 inside the cylinder 807 drives the limit block 813 to cooperate with the rotation groove 814 of the housing shell 812. After the insertion rod 816 is inserted, the first torsion spring 809 drives the limit block 813 to automatically lock into the limit groove 815 without manual intervention. The elastic structure can absorb hydraulic shock and reduce the risk of metal fatigue.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner cavity of the housing 812 is provided with a rotating groove 814 for the limit block 813 to rotate. The insertion rod 816 and the cylinder 807 are used in conjunction with the limit hole 810. Through the setting of the insertion rod 816 and the displacement rod 804, they can be used in conjunction with the limit hole 810. The second torsion spring 819 embedded in the protrusion 821 drives the auxiliary plate 820 to realize automatic mechanical locking in case of hydraulic failure, thereby improving overall safety.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The surface of the housing 812 is provided with a limiting groove 815. The limiting groove 815 is used in conjunction with the limiting block 813. By setting the limiting block 813, it can be used in conjunction with the limiting groove 815 to limit and fix the round rod 808, so as to prevent the round rod 808 from falling off during use and increasing safety hazards.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4There are two fixing plates 817. One end of the second torsion spring 819 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary rod 818, and the other end of the second torsion spring 819 is fixedly connected to the connection of the auxiliary plate 820. The groove 822 and the protrusion 821 are used together. Through the setting of the auxiliary rod 818, the protrusion 821 is connected through the second torsion spring 819, and an emergency lock is formed with the groove 822 of the insertion rod 816. When the hydraulic system fails unexpectedly, the protrusion 821 is embedded into the groove 822 by the force of the second torsion spring 819 to prevent the container body 2 from sliding.

[0031] Working principle: All components are in their initial state. When the container body 2 is in the working state, the multi-section hydraulic cylinder 5 operates, and the container body 2 rotates and tilts on the support base 1. The rotating shaft is located on the top of the support base 1 and is symmetrically designed, and is connected to the container body 2. Both sets of rotating shafts and the multi-section hydraulic cylinder 5 are installed off-center on the support base 1, causing the container body 2 to tilt and unload itself. During the tilting process, the fourth mounting seat 805 at the bottom of the container body 2 drives the displacement rod 804 to extend from the storage bin 803 through the fourth connecting rod 806. When the displacement rod 804 moves to the appropriate position, its surface limiting hole 810 aligns with the limiting hole 810 of the storage bin 803. At this time, the insertion rod 816 and the round rod 808 are inserted into the inner cavity of the limiting hole 810. After insertion, the insertion rod 816... The locking action of 6 is continuously pressed by the second torsion spring 819 on the auxiliary rod 818 to ensure that the protrusion 821 and the groove 822 always remain engaged, enhancing the locking reliability and realizing that the insertion rod 816 automatically inserts into the limiting hole 810 to form a mechanical lock, achieving the effect of safe support locking. The cylinder 807 on the displacement rod 804 has a built-in first torsion spring 809, which can maintain the engagement state of the limiting block 813 and the rotating groove 814 through elastic restoring force in the event of accidental failure of the multi-section hydraulic cylinder 5, preventing the container from suddenly deflecting and improving the overall safety. When it is necessary to remove the insertion rod 816 by the handle 811, since the surface of the round rod 808 is threaded with a nut 823, and the surface of the nut 823 is threadedly connected to the connection of the limiting block 813, the limiting block 813 can be flexibly removed for convenient replacement.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
