Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grab buckets, and more particularly to the field of pulley-type grab bucket technology, specifically referring to a self-adjusting drainage grab bucket. Background Technology
[0002] A grab bucket is a type of lifting machinery and a component of a grab bucket crane. It is used to grab and unload bulk materials. Grab buckets include pulley-type grab buckets and hydraulic grab buckets. In use, a grab bucket with pulleys is connected to the crane's lifting wire ropes via two sets of wire rope fixing wedges of the suspension device, forming a double-lifting-point integral suspension. The overall lifting and lowering of the grab bucket is achieved by raising and lowering the two lifting wire ropes. The other two opening and closing wire ropes connect the upper pulley block to the lower pulley block of the lower crossbeam frame via wire rope guide pulleys on the upper crossbeam frame. When the opening and closing wire ropes are lowered, the grab bucket opens; when the opening and closing wire ropes are raised via the lifting mechanism, the grab bucket closes.
[0003] The current design of grab buckets has several drawbacks when operating in areas with stagnant water, such as the bottom of the grab bucket being prone to tearing. Additionally, due to prolonged operation in stagnant water areas, the bearings are susceptible to corrosion and damage caused by water ingress and poor lubrication, which affects their efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a self-adjusting drainage grab bucket. A gap exists between the lower sliding wheel and the lower pin. When the opening and closing wire rope tilts during the lifting process and the bucket closes to grab material, the slight slippage of the lower sliding wheel can reduce the tilt angle, preventing the wire rope from slipping out of its groove and breaking due to a large tilt angle. Simultaneously, the lower sliding wheel does not use bearings, avoiding damage caused by bearing corrosion.
[0005] This utility model is a self-adjusting drainage grab bucket achieved through the following technical solution, comprising two buckets arranged opposite to each other, an upper crossbeam hinged to the buckets via a support rod, and a lower crossbeam located at the lower end of the upper crossbeam and hinged to the two buckets. The upper crossbeam is provided with an upper pulley assembly, and the lower crossbeam is provided with a lower pulley assembly. The lower pulley assembly includes a lower pin shaft arranged on the lower crossbeam, and a plurality of lower pulley plates arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the lower pin shaft. The lower pulley plates have through holes for the lower pin shaft to pass through, and the diameter of the through holes is larger than the diameter of the lower pin shaft.
[0006] In use, this invention creates a gap between the lower sliding wheel and the lower pin. When the wire rope tilts during the lifting process and the bucket closes to grab the material, the slight sliding of the lower sliding wheel can reduce the tilt angle and prevent the wire rope from going out of the groove and breaking due to a large tilt angle. At the same time, the lower sliding wheel does not use bearings, thus avoiding damage due to bearing corrosion.
[0007] Preferably, a copper sleeve is fixedly connected inside the perforation of the lower sliding wheel, and the inner diameter of the copper sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the lower pin.
[0008] This preferred solution improves the service life of the sliding wheel by using a copper sleeve to create friction between the copper sleeve and the lower pin.
[0009] Preferably, the upper pulley assembly includes an upper pin shaft mounted on the upper crossbeam, and a plurality of upper pulley plates arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the upper pin shaft. The upper pulley plates are provided with through holes for the upper pin shaft to pass through. The diameter of the through holes is larger than the diameter of the upper pin shaft. A copper sleeve is also fixedly connected inside the through holes of the upper pulley plates. The inner diameter of the copper sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the upper pin shaft.
[0010] This preferred solution uses the same upper pulley and lower pulley, which further adjusts and reduces the tilt angle.
[0011] Preferably, the gap thickness between the copper sleeve and the lower pin is 0.01-0.05 mm.
[0012] Preferably, a drainage hole is provided on the side of the bucket. This preferred embodiment improves the drainage efficiency of water accumulated inside the grab bucket when it is closed by providing a drainage hole.
[0013] Preferably, a wear-resistant liner is installed at the bottom of the bucket. This preferred embodiment enhances the wear resistance of the bucket by installing the wear-resistant liner.
[0014] Preferably, the upper crossbeam is hinged to the same bucket body via two front-to-back support rods, which are connected by support ribs. This preferred design, through the inclusion of support ribs, enhances the connection strength between the two support rods while further ensuring their synchronous movement.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A gap exists between the lower sliding wheel and the lower pin. When the opening and closing wire rope tilts during the lifting process and the bucket closes to grab material, the slight slippage of the lower sliding wheel can reduce the tilt angle, preventing the wire rope from going out of its groove and breaking due to a large tilt angle. Simultaneously, the lower sliding wheel does not use bearings, avoiding damage due to bearing corrosion. The drainage holes improve the efficiency of draining water accumulated inside the grab bucket when it closes. The wear-resistant liner enhances the wear resistance of the bucket.
