Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bucket technology, and in particular relates to a multi-functional bucket. Background Technology

[0002] A bucket refers to the bucket installed on an excavator, also called a digging bucket. According to the working method, it is divided into backhoe buckets and front shovel buckets, with backhoe buckets being the most commonly used.

[0003] Existing multi-functional buckets combine functions such as pushing, shoveling, clamping, leveling, and forklift forks. In actual use, the spacing between the two sets of forks on the bucket is usually fixed. When picking up goods with a fixed spacing, if the size of the goods does not match the spacing of the forks, it is easy to cause uneven force on the bucket, which in turn affects the stability of the whole machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the problem in existing technologies where the spacing between the two sets of forks on a bucket is typically fixed. When the forks are used to pick up goods, if the size of the goods does not match the spacing between the forks, it can easily lead to uneven force on the bucket, thus affecting the stability of the entire machine. The following technical solution is proposed:

[0005] A multi-functional bucket, comprising:

[0006] The bucket body is used for digging and compaction operations;

[0007] Fork levers are used for picking up and moving goods;

[0008] The adjustment assembly includes a fixed base, a drive assembly, and a push plate. The fixed base is connected to the bucket body, the drive assembly is located on the back of the bucket body, and the push plate is connected to the fork. The fork reciprocates along a first direction under the action of the adjustment assembly.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the driving component includes:

[0010] A driving element and a gear, wherein the driving element is used to drive the gear to rotate;

[0011] A double-acting lead screw and a second gear, wherein the second gear drives the double-acting lead screw to rotate under the action of the first gear.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, there are two fixed seats, and a fixed shaft connects the two fixed seats, with the fork movably connected to the fixed shaft.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the bucket body is provided with a limit strip, and the push plate is connected to the outside of the limit strip.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the multi-functional bucket further includes a limiting component, the limiting component comprising:

[0016] A fixed cylinder and a partition block, the partition block being used to separate the interior of the fixed cylinder;

[0017] An elastic element and an insert block, wherein the elastic element is used to push the insert block into the push plate.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the limiting component further includes:

[0019] A toggle plate, connected to the plug, is used to push the plug to move.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] (1) By setting the adjustment component, the bidirectional screw rotates while driving the two sets of forks to move closer or further apart, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of forks, improving the adaptability of the bucket to different sizes of goods, and can also adjust the fork spacing according to the actual size of the goods, so that the forks can pick up the goods more stably, thereby improving the practicality and operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] This utility model provides a multi-functional bucket, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the multi-functional bucket includes a bucket body 1, forks 2, and an adjustment assembly. The bucket body 1 is used for digging, compaction, and other operations, while the forks 2 are used for picking up and transporting goods. The adjustment assembly includes a fixed base 3, a drive assembly, and a push plate 9. Two fixed bases 3 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bucket body 1, and their installation positions are symmetrically distributed about the middle position of the bucket body 1. A fixed shaft 4 is fixedly connected between the two fixed bases 3, and both forks 2 are movably connected to the outer surface of the fixed shaft 4. The drive assembly includes a drive component 5, a first gear 6, a double-acting lead screw 7, and a second gear 8. The drive component 5 is fixedly installed on the bucket body 1. On the back, the drive component 5 is used to drive the gear 6 to rotate; the double-acting screw 7 is rotatably installed between two fixed seats 3, and the gear 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the double-acting screw 7. Under the action of the gear 6, the gear 8 drives the double-acting screw 7 to rotate; the outer surface of the bucket body 1 is also integrally formed with a limit strip 10, which is fixedly connected between the two fixed seats 3; the push plate 9 is threaded to the outer surface of the double-acting screw 7, and two push plates 9 are provided on both sides of each set of forks 2. The opposing surfaces of the two push plates 9 are in contact with the outer surface of the forks 2. Under the action of the limit strip 10, the push plates 9 can move along the outer surface of the double-acting screw 7 in the first direction.

[0032] The drive component 5 drives the first gear 6 to rotate. When the first gear 6 rotates, it drives the bidirectional lead screw 7 to start rotating through the second gear 8. Since the push plate 9 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the limit bar 10, the bidirectional lead screw 7 rotates and drives the two sets of forks 2 to move closer or further apart through the threaded connection, thereby changing the distance between the two forks 2, which makes it easier to pick up and carry goods of different sizes.

[0033] In use, the drive unit 5 is powered on and drives gear 6 to rotate. The rotation of gear 6 drives gear 8 to rotate through the meshing connection between gears. At the same time, the rotation of gear 8 drives the bidirectional lead screw 7 to rotate. Under the action of the limit bar 10, the bidirectional lead screw 7 rotates and drives the push plate 9 to move along the first direction through the threaded connection. This causes the push plates 9 on both sides of the fork 2 to move synchronously, so that the two sets of fork 2 move closer or further apart, thereby changing the distance between the two sets of fork 2. This makes it easy to adjust according to the size of the goods being picked up, and improves the practicality of the fork 2.

[0034] Specifically, both the bucket body 1 and the fork 2 are existing technology products. The bucket body 1 is a multi-functional six-in-one bucket. In actual use, the bucket body 1 is installed on the machine, and the hydraulic rods on both sides of the bucket body 1 are connected to the hydraulic system, which can realize the rotation of the front half of the bucket body 1, forming a vertical plane with the rear half of the bucket body 1 to achieve the pushing action. When the height of the hydraulic rod is adjusted, the serrated part of the front half and the rear half of the bucket body 1 can form a clamping action, and the clamping force can be adjusted with the height of the hydraulic rod. After the hydraulic rod is fully raised, the front half and the rear half of the bucket body 1 are combined to form a complete bucket, realizing the shoveling action. The bottom of the bucket body 1 is flat, and the ground can be leveled while pushing or shoveling, realizing the leveling action. The fork 2 has an L-shaped forklift part. In use, the fork 2 is flipped to the front of the bucket body 1 to realize the forklift action.

[0035] In this embodiment, the driving component 5 is specifically configured as a stepper motor, and the first gear 6 is mounted on the output shaft of the driving component 5 via a flat key; the first direction is the axial direction of the bidirectional lead screw 7; the first gear 6 and the second gear 8 are connected by gear meshing; the fork 2 can move along the outer surface of the fixed shaft 4 in the first direction, and can also be flipped along the outer surface of the fixed shaft 4.

[0036] To ensure that the fork 2 remains stably engaged with the outer surface of the fixed shaft 4 and does not flip during pushing or shoveling operations, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the multi-functional bucket also includes a limiting assembly, which includes a connecting plate 11, a fixed cylinder 12, a partition block 13, an elastic element 14, an insert block 15, and a deflecting plate 16. The connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected between two push plates 9 to block the fork 2. The fixed cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting plate 11. The partition block 13 is embedded inside the fixed cylinder 12 and divides the interior of the fixed cylinder 12 into two parts. The elastic element 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the partition block 13. The end of the elastic element 14 away from the partition block 13 is fixedly connected to the insert block 15. The elastic element 14 is used to push the insert block 15 and insert it into the fork 2. The deflecting plate 16 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the insert block 15 and is used to push the insert block 15 away from the fork 2 and pull it out.

[0037] In this utility model, the elastic element 14 specifically belongs to a spring telescopic rod.

[0038] When the fork lever 2 needs to be used for forking, push the actuating plate 16 to pull the insert block 15 out of the fork lever 2, and flip the fork lever 2 to the front of the bucket body 1, thus realizing the forking function of the fork lever 2; when the forking function of the fork lever 2 is not needed, stop the power supply to the drive unit 5, thereby fixing the push plate 9 on the double-acting screw 7, so that the push plate 9 cannot move back and forth along the first direction, then push the actuating plate 16 towards the partition block 13, thereby driving the insert block 15 to slide towards the partition block 13 and squeeze the elastic member 14 to deform it, and then flip the fork lever 2 in the opposite direction, so that it rotates along the fixed axis 4 to the rear of the bucket body 1, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, the actuating plate 16 is then released. The elastic force generated by the deformation of the elastic element 14 drives the insert block 15 to be inserted into the fork 2 in the opposite direction. With the action of the connecting plate 11, the fork 2 is restricted to prevent it from rotating, ensuring that the fork 2 will not flip to the front of the bucket body 1 under the action of external force when pushing, shoveling or other operations are performed on the bucket body 1.

[0039] Working principle: In actual use, when the fork 2 needs to clamp goods of different sizes, the drive unit 5 is energized and drives gear 6 to rotate. When gear 6 rotates, it drives gear 8 to rotate. At the same time, gear 8 drives the double-acting screw 7 to start rotating. Under the action of the limit bar 10, the double-acting screw 7 rotates and drives the push plate 9 to move along the first direction. Depending on the size of the goods to be clamped, the two sets of forks 2 are adjusted to move closer or further apart, thereby changing the distance between the two sets of forks 2. Then, the drive unit 5 is de-energized and the actuating plate 16 is pushed to pull the insert 15 out of the fork 2 and flip the fork 2 so that it is located in front of the bucket body 1, thereby realizing the fork 2's clamping and carrying function. This allows the equipment to clamp goods of various specifications, expands the applicability of the fork 2, avoids the trouble of changing different clamps or equipment due to differences in the size of the goods, and improves work efficiency.

[0040] When the fork lever 2 is finished using its forking function and needs to be retracted, push the actuating plate 16 to make it slide the insert block 15 towards the partition block 13, and compress and deform the elastic element 14. Then, flip the fork lever 2 in the opposite direction so that it is located behind the bucket body 1, and make one side of the fork lever 2 fit against the connecting plate 11. Release the actuating plate 16, and the elastic force generated when the elastic element 14 deforms pushes the insert block 15 in the opposite direction to insert it into the fork lever 2. With the action of the connecting plate 11, the fork lever 2 is firmly fixed and is not easy to rotate. This ensures that when the bucket body 1 is performing pushing, shoveling and other operations, the fork lever 2 will not flip to the front of the bucket body 1 due to external force, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the operation.

[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
