[0036] 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.

[0037] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 An adjustable sandbag filling device for intertidal sandbag cofferdams is provided, comprising: a sand-filling body 1;

[0038] The filter assembly 2 is detachably and connectably mounted on the sand-filling body 1 and is used to filter impurities in the mortar.

[0039] The sandbag support mechanism 3 is located on the front surface of the sand-filling body 1 and is used to open the sandbag opening;

[0040] The detection mechanism 4, which is located on the bag-supporting mechanism 3, includes two electric push rods 41, which are symmetrically arranged on the bag-supporting mechanism 3; a mounting plate 42, which is located between the output shafts of the two electric push rods 41; and an electronic scale 43, which is located on the upper surface of the mounting plate 42.

[0041] This embodiment provides an adjustable sandbag filling device for intertidal sand-filled cofferdams. The filter assembly 2 extracts and filters the slurry, preventing larger stones from being incorporated into the sandbags and affecting their function. The filtered slurry enters the filling body 1, and the sandbags are then placed into the supporting mechanism 3, which opens the bag opening and ensures the bottom of the sandbag is flush with the electronic scale. The weighing end of scale 43 is in contact with the sandbag. When the sand-filling body 1 fills the sandbag with mortar, the electronic scale 43 will display the weight of the sandbag in real time. The operator can control the filling amount through the sand-filling body 1 according to the required weight of the sandbag for construction. When the size or shape of the sandbag is different, resulting in the bottom of the bag not being in close contact with the weighing end of the electronic scale 43, the two electric push rods 41 can drive the electronic scale 43 on the mounting plate 42 to move up and down, thereby ensuring that the bottom of the sandbag is in contact with the weighing end of the electronic scale 43 and ensuring the accuracy of weighing.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and 4As shown, in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sand-filling body 1 further includes a sand outlet hole 11, which is opened on the lower surface of the sand-filling body 1; a positioning frame 12, which is located on the upper surface of the sand-filling body 1; a control panel 13, which is located on the front surface of the sand-filling body 1; four support feet 14, which are arranged symmetrically in pairs on the lower surface of the sand-filling body 1; a filling tube 15, which is inclined and connected, and located inside the sand outlet hole 11; and a solenoid valve 16, which is located outside the filling tube 15.

[0043] Furthermore, the lower end of the sand-filling body 1 is tapered, so that the mortar inside the sand-filling body 1 can better enter the filling pipe 15 under the action of gravity, thereby completing the filling of the sandbag; the electronic scale 43, the electric push rod 41 and the solenoid valve 16 are all electrically connected to the control panel 13.

[0044] This embodiment provides several preferred embodiments of the sand-filling body 1. After the sieved slurry is guided into the sand-filling body 1 through the filter component 2, the operator inputs the target weight value on the control panel 13 according to the required filling amount of sandbags of different specifications. Then, the solenoid valve 16 is opened, and with the cooperation of the bag-supporting mechanism 3, the slurry in the sand-filling body 1 is filled into the sandbags. During the filling process, the electronic scale 43 weighs the sandbags in real time and continuously transmits the weight data to the control panel 13. The control panel 13 compares the real-time weight with the preset target weight. When the real-time weight is close to the target weight, the control panel 13 controls the solenoid valve 16 to gradually reduce the opening and reduce the outflow rate of the slurry. When the real-time weight reaches the target weight, the control panel 13 immediately controls the solenoid valve 16 to close and stop the slurry filling. This ensures that sandbags of different specifications can be filled to the preset appropriate weight, avoiding situations where overfilling leads to sandbag breakage or underfilling affects the overall structural stability of the sand cofferdam.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the filter assembly 2 in the preferred embodiment of this utility model includes a conical filter bucket 21, which is detachably and communicatively disposed on the upper surface of the sand-filling body 1; a positioning groove 22, which is opened on the lower surface of the conical filter bucket 21, and the positioning frame 12 is located inside the positioning groove 22; a filter screen 23, which is disposed on the inner side of the conical filter bucket 21; and a mortar pump 24, which is communicatively disposed on the upper surface of the conical filter bucket 21.

[0046] This embodiment provides several preferred embodiments of the filter assembly 2. The mortar to be filled is pumped into the conical filter hopper 21 by the mortar pump 24. Under the action of gravity and the mortar pump 24, the mortar slides down the inner wall of the conical filter hopper 21 and passes through the filter screen 23 on the inner side. The filter screen 23 effectively intercepts some larger stones in the mortar. The larger stones are blocked on the filter screen 23, while the mortar that meets the requirements continues to flow downwards through the mesh of the filter screen 23. The filtered pure mortar enters the sand-filling body 1 through the connection between the conical filter hopper 21 and the sand-filling body 1. Due to the conical structure design of the conical filter hopper 21, the mortar can be guided to flow towards the sand-filling body 1, reducing mortar residue at the connection between the filter assembly 2 and the sand-filling body 1, and improving the utilization rate of the mortar. After filtering a certain amount of mortar... When a lot of impurities accumulate on the filter screen 23, affecting the filtration efficiency, the operator can remove the filter assembly 2 from the sand-filling body 1. Simply lift the conical filter bucket 21 upwards to release the positioning frame 12 from the positioning groove 22. After removal, pour off the impurities on the filter screen 23 to ensure the subsequent filtration effect. Then, align the positioning frame 12 on the upper surface of the sand-filling body 1 with the positioning groove 22 on the lower surface of the conical filter bucket 21 and embed the positioning frame 12 into the inside of the positioning groove 22. Through the cooperation of the two, the filter assembly 2 and the sand-filling body 1 are quickly positioned, ensuring that the connecting part of the conical filter bucket 21 and the sand-filling body 1 is aligned. This can effectively remove impurities in the mortar, provide pure mortar for subsequent sandbag filling, avoid impurities affecting the structural strength and filling uniformity of the sandbag, and thus ensure the construction quality of the intertidal bag sand cofferdam.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bag-supporting mechanism 3 in the preferred embodiment of this utility model includes a mounting shaft 31, located between the outer sides of a set of front support legs 14; a bag-supporting frame 32, located outside the mounting shaft 31 and below the filling tube 15; two connecting rods 33, symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bag-supporting frame 32; two hydraulic rods 34, symmetrically arranged on the inner sides of the two connecting rods 33, and both hydraulic rods 34 are electrically connected to the control panel 13; and two bag-supporting plates 35, respectively located on the output ends of the two hydraulic rods 34.

[0048] Furthermore, the electronic scale 43 is located below the bag support frame 32; the electronic scale 43, the bag support frame 32, and the sand outlet of the filling tube 15 are distributed vertically and are located on the same axis.

[0049] This embodiment provides several preferred embodiments of the sandbag support mechanism 3. Before filling the sandbag, the operator places an empty sandbag inside the support frame 32 and flips the sandbag opening so that the flipped sandbag opening covers the two support plates 35. Then, the operator starts the operation of the two hydraulic rods 34 via the control panel 13. The hydraulic rods 34 drive the support plates 35 to move relative to each other, opening the flipped sandbag opening. Depending on the size of the sandbag opening, the operator can adjust the extension of the hydraulic rods 34 via the control panel 13 to open the bag opening to a suitable size. This ensures that the mortar can smoothly enter the sandbag from the filling pipe 15 without damaging the sandbag opening due to over-expansion. During the mortar filling process, the support plates 35 always maintain the open state of the sandbag opening, working in conjunction with the support of the support frame 32 to ensure the sandbag is positioned correctly during the filling process. The system is stable and will not shift or close the bag opening due to the gravity of the mortar. Simultaneously, because the electronic scale 43 is located below the bag-supporting frame 32 and the bottom of the sandbag is in contact with the electronic scale 43, the electronic scale 43 can accurately monitor the weight change of the sandbag in real time while the bag-supporting mechanism 3 stably fixes the sandbag. This data is transmitted to the control panel 13, ensuring precise control of the filling amount. Once the sandbag is filled, the control panel 13 controls the solenoid valve 16 to close. The operator then controls the hydraulic rod 34 to retract via the control panel 13, causing the two bag-supporting plates 35 to move towards the center and detach from the sandbag opening. At this point, the operator can remove the filled sandbag. In this way, the bag-supporting mechanism 3 can efficiently and stably open the openings of sandbags of different sizes, precisely cooperating with the electronic scale 43, filling tube 15, and other components to ensure the smooth progress of the sandbag filling process, further improving the overall working efficiency and filling quality of the device.
