(54) SELF-UNLOADING CONTAINER

I

The invention relates to the field of transport equipment, in particular to self-discharging containers.

A self-discharging container is known, comprising a housing with a folding bottom, at the one end of which a counterweight is placed, and the other interacts with a locking mechanism I.

A disadvantage of the known container is that the bottoms open manually.

The purpose of the invention is to automate the process of opening and closing bottoms.

The goal is achieved by the fact that the locking mechanism contains a vertical and pivot-shaped bracket, covering the case with a bottom from below and pivotally fixed on the sides of the case, a spring-loaded lever, one shoulder of which is attached to the bracket, and a spring-loaded pawl placed on the second arm to close the valve mechanism.

FIG. I shows a container with a flip-down bottom, front view; in fig. 2 - the same, side view.

A self-unloading container with a flip-down bottom consists of Case 1 (Fig. I), on which with the help of shcharnnra 2

the bottom 3 is strengthened, equipped with a counterweight 4. On the case I, a locking mechanism 5 is fixed, consisting of a bracket 6 connected by a link 7 with a lock 8.

The latch 7 is a lever with a spring P. A sliding one of the two halves 9 and 10. It is fixed on the body 1 by means of a bracket 12 (FIG. 2). The free end of the half of the lever 10 is made in the form of a ball handle 13 with a pawl 14, which can interact with the stop 15 or 16.

The operation with a self-unloading container with a bottom with a hinged bottom is carried out as follows.

Coitainer with closed bottom 3 can be filled with cargo. To unload it

$ 1 must be pressed on the handle 13, which can be carried out automatically when the ball-shaped handle 13 comes into contact with the abutment 15 - OR manually. At the same time, while turning the lever 10 around the axis on the bracket 12, the lever 9 is sunk, compressing the spring II, which

2 passes through maximum compression, pushes lever 9 again, and the latter pulls the link 7 behind itself and rotates clip 6. Loosening end of bottom 3 below. The weight of the load that overcomes the counterweight opens and the load is poured out.

As soon as there is no load on bottom 3, the counterweight 4 slams the bottom 3.

After that, you need to bring the latch 8 to the closed position. To do this, it is necessary to press the handle 13 or move the container in the opposite direction from the stop 15. At the same time, the dog 14 will be stopped by the stop 16 and turn the spring-sliding lever 9 and 10 all the way into the housing 1.

The bracket 6 will then rotate and prop up the bottom 3, ensuring that it fits snugly to the housing 1.

The design of the locking mechanism of the hinged-bottom container allows unloading cargo without manual opening and closing operations of the lock, as well as without crane lifting and lowering of the container.
