Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, and in particular to an adjustable movable bucket ear cover for excavator buckets. Background Technology
[0002] The front attachment bucket lugs of most excavators on the market are connected between the two bucket lugs, which is where the front end of the excavator's boom is placed. After long-term operation, wear will occur between the two, causing the gap between the boom and the bucket lugs to widen. This will produce an impact sound during construction, affecting the excavator's construction efficiency and increasing its fuel consumption. This will reduce the service life of the excavator's front end, and in severe cases, the front attachment bucket and the front end of the excavator's boom will need to be replaced. This directly increases the cost for excavator users.
[0003] Traditional bucket ear covers are all molded in one piece and welded directly. When wear and tear occurs and repairs are needed, the entire bucket ear cover needs to be cut off and re-welded and corrected. In some cases, the entire bucket needs to be replaced, which is costly. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that the bucket ear cover in the existing technology is a one-piece molded and directly welded. When wear and tear occurs and repair is needed, the entire bucket ear cover needs to be cut off and re-welded and corrected. In some cases, the entire bucket needs to be replaced, which is costly. Therefore, an adjustable movable bucket ear cover for excavator buckets is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An adjustable bucket lug for an excavator bucket includes a bucket and a first bucket lug and a second bucket lug respectively fixedly disposed on both sides of the outer wall of the bucket.
[0007] An adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the gap between the ear cover and the forearm head. The adjustment mechanism is located on the side of the No. 2 ear cover. The adjustment mechanism includes a side ring, a fastening ring, two fixing rings, and an adjustment component. The two fixing rings are respectively fixed on both sides of the No. 2 ear cover. The adjustment component is located on one side of one of the fixing rings. A No. 1 inner ring is fixedly installed on one side of the side ring, and one end of the No. 1 inner ring is inserted into the interior of the adjustment component through the fixing ring and the No. 2 ear cover. A No. 2 inner ring is fixedly installed on one side of the fastening ring, and one end of the No. 2 inner ring is inserted into the interior of the adjustment component and cooperates with one end of the No. 1 inner ring.
[0008] A protective mechanism, used to ensure the stability of the ear cup adjustment, is disposed on the outer wall of the fastening ring.
[0009] In one possible design, the adjusting element consists of multiple annular gaskets.
[0010] In one possible design, the adjusting mechanism further includes multiple bolts, and the fastening ring, multiple annular washers, and the fixing ring near the annular washers are all provided with multiple mounting holes, and the bolts cooperate with multiple mounting holes in the same row.
[0011] In one possible design, four bolts are provided, and five annular washers are provided for the adjusting member.
[0012] In one possible design, the protective mechanism includes a fixing sleeve that fits over the outer wall of a fastening ring. At least one locking block is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the fastening ring. At least one slot is provided at the bottom of the fixing sleeve. A slot is provided on one side of the inner wall of the slot, and the locking block is interference-fitted with the slot and the slot.
[0013] In one possible design, a side groove is provided on the inner wall of the other side of the slot, and a sloping block is slidably arranged inside the side groove, with one end of the sloping block extending into the interior of the slot. A compression spring is provided inside the side groove, and the two ends of the compression spring are respectively fixedly arranged on one side of the inner wall of the side groove and one side of the sloping block.
[0014] In one possible design, the protective mechanism further includes a side cover, the bottom of which is fixedly provided with at least one insert rod. The inside of the fixing sleeve is provided with at least one inner cavity. The bottom end of the insert rod passes through the inner cavity and extends into the inside of the slot. The bottom end of the insert rod is set as a bevel. A ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the insert rod inside the inner cavity. A second compression spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the insert rod, and the two ends of the second compression spring are respectively fixedly provided on the top inner wall of the inner cavity and the top of the ring. The top of the slot is provided with an insertion hole, and the insert rod cooperates with the insertion hole.
[0015] In this application, during actual use, when the front end of the excavator boom is worn, simply loosen the bolts to release the fixing of multiple annular washers and fastening rings, remove an appropriate number of annular washers, and then re-fix the fastening rings and the remaining annular washers with bolts. At this time, due to the reduction in the number of annular washers, the second inner ring on one side of the fastening ring will move closer to the side ring, and the second inner ring will press against the first inner ring, causing the side ring to move, thereby allowing the side ring to press against the front end of the excavator boom, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the clearance. By pulling the side cover, the side cover moves the insert rod, disengaging it from the insertion hole. The retaining sleeve can then be rotated. As the retaining sleeve rotates, the internal inclined block contacts the locking block, which is then compressed to ensure the locking block enters the slot. The retaining sleeve can then be removed, and the inclined block is reset by the first compression spring, exposing the bolts on the fastening ring surface for adjustment. Conversely, simply fasten the retaining sleeve to the outer wall of the fastening ring; the locking block will be pushed by the inclined surface, allowing it to smoothly enter the slot. Rotating the retaining sleeve then causes the locking block to compress the insert rod, moving it into the slot. The insert rod is then reset by the second compression spring, locking it into the insertion hole, completing the installation. The retaining sleeve's internal cover prevents the bolts from moving and is protected from external contact, ensuring stability.
[0016] In this utility model, the adjustable movable bucket ear cover for excavator buckets, through multiple annular shims, can achieve fine adjustment of the distance between the ear cover and the forearm pull head by adjusting the number of annular shims, ensuring the stability of the bucket, thereby achieving the effect of quick replacement, increasing efficiency, and saving more labor and after-sales costs.
[0017] In this utility model, the adjustable movable bucket ear cover for excavator buckets, through a protective mechanism, can protect the bolts in the adjustment mechanism, thereby preventing them from being exposed to the outside and being affected by external factors, which could lead to displacement and loosening.
[0018] In this invention, during use, the adjustable component allows for adjustment of the number of annular shims on the adjustable component when wear occurs, thereby adjusting the gap caused by wear, thus avoiding impact noise and the impact during use, and achieving the effect of increasing service life.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 An adjustable bucket lug sleeve includes: a bucket 1 and a first bucket lug sleeve 2 and a second bucket lug sleeve 3, which are respectively fixedly disposed on both sides of the outer wall of the bucket 1. The first bucket lug sleeve 2 and the second bucket lug sleeve 3 are respectively fixedly disposed on the outer walls of both sides of the bucket 1 for connecting with the forearm head of the excavator.
[0028] An adjustment mechanism is provided on the side of the No. 2 bucket ear sleeve 3. This mechanism is used to adjust the gap between the ear sleeve and the forearm horse head to ensure a more secure connection between the bucket 1 and the forearm horse head. The adjustment mechanism includes a side ring 5, a fastening ring 8, two fixing rings 6, and an adjusting component. The two fixing rings 6 are respectively fixed on both sides of the No. 2 bucket ear sleeve 3, and the adjusting component is located on one side of one of the fixing rings 6.
