Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of loader technology and relates to a bucket and loader with unloading function. Background Technology

[0002] A loader is a type of earthmoving machinery widely used in construction projects such as highways and railways. It is mainly used for loading and unloading loose materials such as soil and gravel, and can also perform light digging operations on ores and hard soil. By changing different auxiliary tools, it can also be used for bulldozing, lifting, and loading and unloading other materials such as timber.

[0003] In the construction of some current engineering projects, not only are bulldozers needed for bulldozing and lifting operations, but they are also required to accurately unload fluid materials to designated locations. For example, when installing photovoltaic (PV) pillars, the pillars must first be placed vertically into pre-dug pits, and then concrete is poured into the pits and compacted. Typically, these tasks are completed by construction workers pushing dump trucks to transport the concrete, but this method is extremely inefficient.

[0004] Clearly, if the existing loader buckets can be specifically improved to accurately output the fluid materials inside the bucket to a set location, the types of construction operations that the loader can be used for can be greatly expanded, and the efficiency of construction operations such as photovoltaic column installation can be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of existing loader buckets in terms of functionality, this application provides a bucket and loader with unloading function.

[0006] Firstly, a bucket with unloading function is provided, which is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A bucket with unloading function includes a bucket body, a unloading port is provided at the bottom of the bucket body, and an unloading guide is provided at the unloading port to guide the flow direction of the material in the bucket body, and a flow restrictor is provided to control the unloading guide and / or the material outflow speed at the unloading port.

[0008] The unloading guide includes an unloading pipe connected to the unloading port, or a diversion plate rotatably mounted on the bucket body for covering or opening the unloading port.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the fluid material contained in the bucket body can be discharged to the outside of the bucket through the discharge port and output to the set position through the discharge guide. The speed of material output can be adjusted and controlled by setting the flow limiting device.

[0010] Optionally, the unloading guide includes an unloading pipe connected to the unloading port, the unloading pipe being L-shaped in general and extending laterally toward the bucket body at one end away from the bucket body to form a material output port;

[0011] The unloading pipe has an opening in its wall, and the flow limiting device includes a flow limiting plate that is slidably disposed at the opening of the unloading pipe to change the size of the flow cross section inside the unloading pipe.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the material inside the bucket body can be discharged from the unloading pipe to a set position outside the bucket, and the output speed of the material can be controlled and adjusted by the flow restrictor.

[0013] Optionally, one side of the flow limiting plate is hinged to the wall of the unloading pipe, and a handle for rotating the flow limiting plate is fixedly connected to the flow limiting plate, or a switch motor for driving its rotation is connected to it, and the start button of the switch motor is located in the cab of the loader.

[0014] The above technical solution makes it easier for workers to control the size of the flow cross section of the unloading pipe.

[0015] Optionally, the unloading guide includes a deflector plate, one end of which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bucket body near the unloading port, and the other end is a free end;

[0016] When the guide plate rotates to a position parallel to the outer wall where the discharge port is located, the guide plate covers or embeds itself into the discharge port. The free end of the guide plate is equipped with a locking structure for locking the guide plate and the bucket body to keep the discharge port closed.

[0017] The flow restrictor includes an adjusting cable, one end of which is connected to the free end of the flow guide plate, and the other end is detachably connected to the bucket body. The angle of rotation of the flow guide plate can be changed by changing the length of the adjusting cable located between the free end and the bucket body.

[0018] With the above technical solution, when the bucket is filled with materials, the deflector plate closes the discharge port on the bucket body, and the bucket can work normally. When it is necessary to output the materials in the bucket to the set position, it is only necessary to loosen the locking structure to allow the deflector plate to rotate at a set angle. At this time, the discharge port opens, and the discharge speed is proportional to the opening and closing angle of the deflector plate. The discharge speed can be easily adjusted by adjusting the cable.

[0019] Optionally, a material-blocking canvas is provided between the two side walls of the diversion plate and the outer wall of the bucket body to prevent material from falling from the side of the diversion plate during unloading.

[0020] With the above technical solution, during unloading, the canvases located on both sides of the diversion plate can prevent the fluid material from spilling onto both sides of the diversion plate, allowing the material to be output more accurately to the set position.

[0021] Optionally, the guide plate is provided with a U-shaped rubber ring on the edge facing the bucket body, and the rubber ring has an opening on the free end side of the guide plate.

[0022] With the above technical solution, when the diversion plate covers the discharge port, the rubber ring can seal the edge of the discharge port to prevent material from seeping out from the gap between the discharge port and the diversion plate.

[0023] Optionally, the diversion plate includes a fixed plate and a movable plate arranged in parallel. One end of the fixed plate is rotatably connected to the bucket body, and the movable plate is located below the fixed plate and is slidably connected to the fixed plate along the length direction.

[0024] With the above technical solution, the movable plate can be pushed out along the length of the fixed plate during unloading, thereby adjusting the length of the diversion plate as needed to facilitate unloading.

[0025] Optionally, the discharge port is elongated and is arranged along the length of the bottom of the bucket body;

[0026] One end of the discharge port extends to the side wall of the bucket body;

[0027] The flow limiting component also includes a baffle that slides up and down on the side wall of the bucket body near the discharge port. The baffle can be slid up and down to adjust the size of the opening between the flow guide plate, the material blocking canvas and the side wall of the bucket body.

[0028] The baffle is provided with a socket, and the side wall of the bucket body is provided with a slot corresponding to the socket. A pin is provided between the socket and the slot to lock the relative position of the baffle and the side wall of the bucket body.

[0029] With the above technical solution, when the rotation angle of the diversion plate is fixed, the size of the opening between the diversion plate / material retaining canvas and the side wall of the bucket body can be adjusted by the baffle, thereby controlling the falling speed of the material.

[0030] Optionally, the locking structure includes an L-shaped first locking block disposed at the bottom of the bucket body, and a second locking block disposed at the free end of the diversion plate;

[0031] The first locking block is rotatably connected to the bucket body. When the first locking block rotates to a set angle, the second locking block is located in the slot formed between the first locking block and the bucket body, locking the diversion plate.

[0032] The above technical solution allows for convenient and quick locking of the deflector plate and the bucket body, fixing their relative positions.

[0033] Secondly, this application also provides a loader, including a loader body and a bucket with unloading function as described above.

[0034] This application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0035] By opening a discharge port on the bucket body of the loader and installing discharge guides and flow restrictors at the discharge port, fluid materials such as concrete stored inside the bucket can be accurately discharged to a set position outside the bucket, increasing the loader's applicability and improving the construction efficiency of related engineering projects.

[0045] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0046] In the description of this specification, the references to "certain embodiments," "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples" refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the described embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0047] A bucket with unloading function, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a bucket body 1, with a discharge port 2 at the bottom. The discharge port 2 is equipped with a discharge guide to direct the flow of material within the bucket body 1, and a flow restrictor to control the material flow rate at the discharge guide and / or discharge port 2. During discharge, the fluid material flows out from the discharge port 2 and then flows to a set position via the discharge guide. Simultaneously, the flow restrictor controls the material flow rate.

[0048] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the unloading guide includes an unloading pipe 3 connected to the unloading port 2. The unloading pipe 3 has a circular cross-section and is L-shaped overall. One end is welded to the bucket body 1, and the other end, away from the bucket body 1, extends laterally toward the bucket body 1 to form a material output port. To avoid the presence of the unloading pipe 3 affecting the normal function of the loader bucket, the unloading hanger is installed on the lower side of the bucket, parallel to the width direction of the bucket.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the unloading pipe 3 has an opening in its wall. The flow-limiting component includes a flow-limiting plate 4, which is slidably disposed at the opening of the unloading pipe 3 to change the size of the flow cross-section inside the unloading pipe 3. Preferably, one side of the flow-limiting plate 4 is hinged to the wall of the unloading pipe 3 via a pivot. A handle 5 for rotating the flow-limiting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the flow-limiting plate 4, making it convenient for the worker to rotate the flow-limiting plate 4 to control the size of the flow cross-section of the unloading pipe 3. In a specific embodiment, the flow-limiting plate 4 is connected to a switch motor for driving its rotation. The switch motor is located outside the unloading pipe 3, and its pivot is connected to the flow-limiting plate 4. The start button of the switch motor is located in the cab of the forklift.

[0050] In practical applications, a auger feeder can be installed inside the bucket body 1 to push the material inside the bucket towards the discharge port during unloading, facilitating rapid unloading. The drive motor that drives the auger feeder is located outside the bucket body 1 and is electrically connected to the power supply and the unloading button in the cab. The operator can start the drive motor to unload by pressing the unloading button.

[0051] In another embodiment, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the discharge port 2 is elongated and extends along the length of the bottom of the bucket body 1. One end of the discharge port 2 extends to the side wall of the bucket body 1. The discharge guide includes a guide plate 6. One end of the guide plate 6 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bucket body 1 near the discharge port 2 via a pivot located on the outer wall of the bucket body 1. The other end is a free end. When the guide plate 6 rotates to a position parallel to the outer wall where the discharge port 2 is located, the guide plate 6 covers or just embeds into the discharge port 2. The free end of the guide plate 6 is equipped with a locking structure for locking the guide plate 6 and the bucket body 1 to keep the discharge port 2 closed. In this embodiment, the locking structure includes an L-shaped first locking block located at the bottom of the bucket body 1 and a second locking block integrally formed at the free end of the guide plate 6. The first locking block is rotatably connected to the bucket body 1. Specifically, a protruding cylindrical shaft is provided on the outer wall of the bucket body 1. The first locking block is rotatably mounted on the cylindrical shaft. When the first locking block rotates to a set angle, the second locking block is located in the groove formed between the first locking block and the bucket body 1, locking the deflector plate 6. In practical applications, the thickness of the second locking block is slightly less than the width of the groove, making it less prone to loosening after the second locking block is engaged in the groove. Combined with the gravity of the deflector plate 6 and the elastic force of the rubber ring 117, the second locking block is firmly locked, not affecting the normal operation of the loader bucket. At the same time, when unloading is required, the locking between the deflector plate 6 and the bucket body 1 can be easily and quickly released.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the flow restrictor includes an adjusting cable 8. In practical applications, this cable is configured as a chain. One end of the adjusting cable 8 is connected to the free end of the deflector plate 6, and the other end is detachably connected to the bucket body 1. In practical applications, a protruding cylinder 9 is provided on the outer wall of the bucket body 1. The chain is directly threaded onto the cylinder 9 according to the required length. The angle of the deflector plate 6 can be changed by changing the length of the adjusting cable 8 (chain) located between the free end and the bucket body 1. Ideally, there are two adjusting cables 8, located on both sides of the free end of the deflector plate 6.

[0053] Based on the above technical solution, when the bucket is filled with materials, the guide plate 6 closes the discharge port 2 opened on the bucket body 1, and the bucket can work normally; when it is necessary to output the materials in the bucket to the set position, it is only necessary to loosen the locking structure to allow the guide plate 6 to rotate at a set angle. At this time, the discharge port 2 opens, and the discharge speed is proportional to the opening angle of the guide plate 6. The discharge speed can be easily adjusted by adjusting the cable 8.

[0054] During unloading, to prevent fluid materials from spilling onto both sides of the guide plate 6, and to ensure more precise output of the material to the set position, such as... Figure 7 As shown, a material-blocking canvas 10 is provided between the two side walls of the diversion plate 6 and the outer wall of the bucket body 1 to prevent material from falling from the side of the diversion plate 6 during unloading.

[0055] Optimized, such as Figure 8 As shown, a U-shaped rubber ring 117 is provided on the edge of the diversion plate 6 facing the bucket body 1, and an opening is reserved on the free end side of the rubber ring 117. Based on the above technical solution, when the diversion plate 6 blocks the discharge port 2, the rubber ring 117 can seal the edge of the discharge port 2 to prevent material from seeping out from the gap between the discharge port 2 and the diversion plate 6.

[0056] In a further optimized design, the diversion plate 6 includes a fixed plate 12 and a movable plate 13 arranged in parallel. One end of the fixed plate 12 is rotatably connected to the bucket body 1 via a pivot. The movable plate 13 is located below the fixed plate 12 and is slidably connected to the fixed plate 12 along its length. Specifically, the edge of the fixed plate 12 is folded downward to form a C-shaped groove structure, and the movable plate 13 is slidably disposed in the groove. Based on the above technical solution, during unloading, the movable plate 13 can be pushed out along the length of the fixed plate 12, thereby adjusting the length of the diversion plate 6 as needed for convenient unloading.

[0057] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the flow restrictor also includes a baffle 15 that slides up and down on the side wall of the bucket body 1 near the discharge port 2. In practical applications, two L-shaped vertical bars 14 are provided on the side wall of the bucket body 1, forming a groove between the two vertical bars 14 for the baffle 15 to slide. The baffle 15 slides up and down to adjust the size of the opening between the guide plate 6, the retaining canvas 10, and the side wall of the bucket body 1. Optimally, the baffle 15 has insertion holes, and the side wall of the bucket body 1 has multiple slots corresponding to the insertion holes along the vertical direction. A pin 16 is provided between the insertion holes and slots to lock the relative position of the baffle 15 and the side wall of the bucket body 1. The pin 16 passes through the insertion hole and inserts into the slot, thus limiting the up and down position of the baffle 15. With the above technical solution, when the rotation angle of the guide plate 6 is fixed, the size of the opening between the guide plate 6 / retaining canvas 10 and the side wall of the bucket body 1 can be adjusted by the baffle 15, thereby controlling the material's falling speed.

[0058] In practical applications, the above-mentioned unloading pipe 3 or diversion plate 6 can be set as two, located on both sides of the bucket body 1 respectively.

[0059] Finally, this application also discloses a loader, including a loader body and a bucket with unloading function as described above.

[0060] The bucket with unloading function described in this application only requires the loader to move to the vicinity of the location where concrete is to be poured, and then open the diversion plate 6 or the flow restriction plate 4 to output the concrete in the bucket to the set position, which can improve the efficiency of related construction operations.

[0061] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this application.
