Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snowplow technology, and in particular to a quick-assembly and disassembly structure for the snow discharge bucket of a snowplow. Background Technology

[0002] Snowplows are specialized machines used for removing snow, widely applied in winter snow removal operations on roads, airports, parking lots, and other public places in cold regions. The snowplow bucket is a crucial component, primarily used to collect and expel the snow shoveled by the machine. During operation, the snowplow shovels the snow and transports it to the snowplow bucket, which then throws the snow to a designated location. Currently, snowplow buckets on the market are typically designed as non-removable structures, resulting in a bulky machine that requires significant space during transport, increasing logistics costs. Furthermore, as the component directly in contact with snow, the snowplow bucket is prone to wear and deformation due to prolonged use or impacts from foreign objects (such as branches, stones, or other hard objects hidden in the snow). Because the snowplow bucket is non-removable, users often find it difficult to quickly clean or replace it when it becomes clogged or damaged. This not only reduces the machine's efficiency but also increases maintenance costs and downtime. Therefore, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology by providing a quick-disassembly and assembly structure for the snow discharge bucket of a snowplow. The structure is simple and reasonable, easy to operate, and facilitates the replacement and cleaning of the snow discharge bucket. During disassembly, only the connecting parts need to be loosened. During transportation, the snow discharge bucket can be removed to reduce the overall packaging volume, increase the number of boxes, and reduce transportation costs. When storing the equipment, the snow discharge bucket can be removed to save storage space.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention discloses a quick-assembly and disassembly structure for a snowplow's snow discharge tube, comprising a connector, a plurality of first positioning holes disposed on the snow discharge tube, and a plurality of second positioning holes disposed on the snowplow. The snowplow has a snow discharge outlet, and the plurality of second positioning holes are arranged at non-equidistant intervals along the circumferential direction of the snow discharge outlet. The second positioning holes correspond to and cooperate with the first positioning holes. The connector passes through and is detachably connected to the first positioning holes and the second positioning holes.

[0005] Furthermore, the snowplow has a protrusion located on the upper outer periphery of the snow outlet, and the lower end of the snow discharge tube has a flange that cooperates with the protrusion, the flange covering the protrusion.

[0006] Furthermore, the lower end of the snow bucket has a ring portion, the ring portion has the first positioning hole, and the outer periphery of the ring portion extends downward to form the flange.

[0007] Furthermore, the snow sweeper includes a rotating drum, the upper end of the snow outlet has a mounting groove that cooperates with the rotating drum, the rotating drum is rotatably disposed on the mounting groove, and the upper end face of the rotating drum has the second positioning hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the rotating drum has a plurality of connecting posts that correspond to and cooperate with the first positioning hole, and the connecting posts have the second positioning hole inside.

[0009] Furthermore, the first positioning hole is a through hole, and the second positioning hole is a blind hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper end face of the rotating drum has an annular groove, and the connecting post is located within the annular groove.

[0011] Furthermore, at least a portion of the inner wall of the mounting groove has a limiting step that cooperates with the rotating cylinder for limiting, and the rotating cylinder is axially limited between the limiting step and the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the connector is a screw, and the inner walls of the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are both threaded, and the screw is threaded into the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole.
