Abstract
The invention relates to a device for emptying a conveying bucket of rock/soil loosened during the sinking of a shaft with a chute (20) for the rock/soil (400) emptied from the conveying bucket (200, 200′), which can be moved linearly between a conveying bucket transport position and a conveying bucket emptying position by means of an actuator. A receiving element (30) for the conveying bucket (200, 200′) is provided for establishing a retaining connection between the chute (20) and the conveying bucket (200, 200′), which is arranged on the chute (20) so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation (33), the receiving element (30) being pivotable between a receiving position (420) and an emptying position (430) by means of an actuator (34).
Claims8
An apparatus for emptying a conveying bucket of rock/soil/material loosened during the sinking of a shaft, comprising;
- a chute, configured to convey away the rock/soil/material emptied out of the conveying bucket, displaceable by a first actuator linearly between a conveying bucket transport position and a conveying bucket emptying position;
- a receiving element, comprising a projection element, for the conveying bucket, comprising a connection element, wherein the projection element is configured to extend into the conveying bucket connection element to produce a retained connection between the chute and conveying bucket, wherein the receiving element is on the chute and is rotatable by a second actuator between the chute and the receiving element about a rotation axis to rotate the retained bucket between a receiving position and an emptying position.
The apparatus as claimed of 1, wherein the conveying bucket is rotatable by more than 90 degrees.
The apparatus as claimed in 1, comprising a rotation apparatus configured to rotate at least one of the chute or the receiving element horizontally between at least one of two receiving positions or emptying positions.
