[0003] At present, the handrails on excavators are very common as the vibration of the excavator becomes more and more intense during operation. The common handrail structure on excavators is generally a round tube that is bent and welded with mounting plates at both ends and fixed on the frame. Due to deformation caused by welding and installation, internal stress is easily generated at the handrail weld and connecting bolts, resulting in cracks at the handrail weld and broken connecting bolts.
[0004] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the existing handrail structure is mainly composed of a frame mounting plate 1a, a first curved pipe 2a, a second curved pipe 3a, a straight pipe 4a, a fuel tank mounting plate 5a and other structures welded together. The frame mounting plate 1a is fixed on the upper frame, and the fuel tank mounting plate 5a is fixed on the fuel tank. However, in actual assembly, the handrail structure is difficult to install. For installation, the threaded holes of the mounting plate need to be forced to align.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0043] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the handrail device of the basic embodiment of the present invention comprises a first mounting plate 1, a second mounting plate 2, a first handrail tube 3 connected to the first mounting plate 1, a second handrail tube 4, a third handrail tube 5 and a fourth handrail tube 6 connected to the second mounting plate 2; the first handrail tube 3 is sleeved with one end of the second handrail tube 4 through a first energy absorbing component 7, and the second handrail tube 4 can move along the axial direction of the tube end connected to the first handrail tube 3; the other end of the second handrail tube 4 is connected to one end of the third handrail tube 5; the other end of the third handrail tube 5 is sleeved with the fourth handrail tube 6 through a third energy absorbing component 9, and the third handrail tube 5 can move along the axial direction of the tube end connected to the fourth handrail tube 6.
[0044] The handrail device is mainly composed of a first handrail tube 3, a second handrail tube 4, a third handrail tube 5 and a fourth handrail tube 6 connected in sequence, and a first energy absorption assembly 7, a third energy absorption assembly 9 and other energy absorption mechanisms are respectively installed between the first handrail tube 3 and the second handrail tube 4 and between the third handrail tube 5 and the fourth handrail tube 6, so that the second handrail tube 4 can move along the axial direction of the tube end connected to the first handrail tube 3, and the third handrail tube 5 can move along the axial direction of the tube end connected to the fourth handrail tube 6; the above structural design enables the handrail device to move in multiple directions. During the assembly process of the device being installed on the excavator through the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2, the positional relationship among the first handrail tube 3, the second handrail tube 4, the third handrail tube 5 and the fourth handrail tube 6 is adjusted to achieve movement of the handrail device in all directions, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of forced alignment during assembly of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2, making assembly more convenient, and effectively reducing the internal stress caused by installation deformation and welding deformation, thereby reducing the risk of cracking at the handrail weld and breaking of the connecting bolts, and solving the problem of early failure of the handrail weld and connecting bolts.
[0045] Furthermore, the other end of the second handrail tube 4 is sleeved with one end of the third handrail tube 5 through the second energy absorbing assembly 8, and the third handrail tube 5 can move along the axial direction of the tube end connected to the second handrail tube 4; a second energy absorbing assembly 8 is arranged between the second handrail tube 4 and the third handrail tube 5, so that the third handrail tube 5 can move along the axial direction of the tube end connected to the second handrail tube 4, thereby allowing the handrail device to flexibly move in more directions.

For example, a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system is established so that the three directions of the axial direction of the tube end of the second handrail tube 4 connected to the first handrail tube 3, the axial direction of the tube end of the third handrail tube 5 connected to the second handrail tube 4, and the axial direction of the tube end of the third handrail tube 5 connected to the fourth handrail tube 6 are respectively aligned with the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction. One-to-one correspondence, of course, it is not required that the axial direction of the tube end connected to the second handrail tube 4 and the first handrail tube 3, the axial direction of the tube end connected to the third handrail tube 5 and the second handrail tube 4, and the axial direction of the tube end connected to the third handrail tube 5 and the fourth handrail tube 6 are strictly consistent with the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction respectively, so that the axial direction of the tube end connected to the second handrail tube 4 and the first handrail tube 3, the axial direction of the tube end connected to the third handrail tube 5 and the second handrail tube 4, and the axial direction of the tube end connected to the third handrail tube 5 and the fourth handrail tube 6 have a certain angle with the corresponding axial direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the handrail device in the three degrees of freedom directions.
[0047] In order to better understand the technical concept of the present invention, the handrail device of the present invention is applied to an excavator for further explanation.

At the same time, the first handrail tube 3 and the fourth handrail tube 6 are designed as straight tubes, the second handrail tube 4 is designed as a curved tube, and the third handrail tube 5 is designed as a multi-bend curved tube, so that the axial direction of the tube end where the second handrail tube 4 is connected to the first handrail tube 3 is parallel to the front and rear direction of the excavator, the axial direction of the tube end where the third handrail tube 5 is connected to the second handrail tube 4 is parallel to the left and right direction of the excavator, and the axial direction of the tube end where the third handrail tube 5 is connected to the fourth handrail tube 6 is parallel to the up and down direction of the excavator, so that the handrail device can be moved in three directions: up, down, left, right, front and back.
[0049] It should be noted that the above technical solution is only a connection method between the first handrail tube 3, the second handrail tube 4, the third handrail tube 5 and the fourth handrail tube 6 of the handrail device.

In the direction, the fourth handrail tube 6 is deformed into a bent tube, and the shapes of the bent tubes at both ends of the third handrail tube 5 are changed at the same time, so that the axial direction of the tube end where the third handrail tube 5 is connected to the fourth handrail tube 6 is parallel to the front-rear direction of the excavator, and the axial direction of the tube end where the third handrail tube 5 is connected to the second handrail tube 4 is parallel to the up-down direction of the excavator; or, the first mounting plate 1 is connected to the oil tank 201 of the excavator, and the second mounting plate 2 is connected to the upper frame 200 of the excavator, and the axial direction of the tube end where the second handrail tube 4 is connected to the first handrail tube 3, the axial direction of the tube end where the third handrail tube 5 is connected to the second handrail tube 4, and the axial direction of the tube end where the third handrail tube 5 is connected to the fourth handrail tube 6 can be changed. In addition, the axial direction of the tube end where the second handrail tube 4 is connected to the first handrail tube 3, the axial direction of the tube end where the third handrail tube 5 is connected to the second handrail tube 4, and the axial direction of the tube end where the third handrail tube 5 is connected to the fourth handrail tube 6 do not need to be strictly consistent with the three-dimensional directions of the excavator, and can have a certain deviation or even be completely different, and the handrail device can also be moved in multiple directions. This structural design that can be adjusted in multiple directions can not only reduce the risk of cracking at the handrail weld and breaking of the connecting bolts, but also can adapt to the installation of various types of excavators, has good versatility, and is convenient for unified design.

[0053] Moreover, the third energy absorbing component 9 includes a third elastic member and a third clamping connector, the third elastic member is sleeved with the inner surface of the third handrail tube 5, and the third elastic member is sleeved with the outer surface of the fourth handrail tube 6, the third clamping connector is sleeved on the fourth handrail tube 6, and has a clearance fit with the fourth handrail tube 6, the third clamping connector is connected to the outer surface of the third handrail tube 5, and can move along the axial direction to squeeze the third elastic member, so that the third handrail tube 5, the third elastic member and the fourth handrail tube 6 are in a clamped state, that is, the third handrail tube 5 and the third elastic member, and the third elastic member and the fourth handrail tube 6 can be respectively interference fit, the third handrail tube 5, the third elastic member and the fourth handrail tube 6 It constitutes a form of active connection; or, the third elastic member is sleeved on the inner surface of the fourth handrail tube 6, and the third elastic member is sleeved on the outer surface of the third handrail tube 5, the third clamping connector is sleeved on the third handrail tube 5, and is gap-fitted with the third handrail tube 5, the third clamping connector is connected to the outer surface of the fourth handrail tube 6, and can move along the axial direction to squeeze the third elastic member, so that the third handrail tube 5, the third elastic member and the fourth handrail tube 6 are in a clamped state, that is, the third handrail tube 5 and the third elastic member, and the third elastic member and the fourth handrail tube 6 can be interference-fitted respectively, and the third handrail tube 5, the third elastic member and the fourth handrail tube 6 constitute a form of active connection.

[0056] In order to facilitate a deeper understanding of the technical concept and advantages of the handrail device of the present invention, the following Figures 2 to 4 The relatively preferred features and relatively comprehensive structural forms of the present invention are described.

This movable structure can realize axial movement of the armrest device in three directions: front and back, left and right, and up and down. It can reduce assembly errors caused by processing and manufacturing, facilitate installation, and effectively reduce the internal stress caused by installation deformation and welding deformation, reduce the risk of cracking at the handrail weld and breaking of the connecting bolts. Through adjustment in three degrees of freedom, the armrest device can be adapted to the installation of multiple models, has good versatility, and is convenient for unified design. In addition, since the elastic member adopts an elastic structure such as a rubber sleeve 100, a nylon sleeve or a silicone sleeve, it can buffer and absorb vibration when the excavator is working. Moreover, the elastic member is designed as a wedge-shaped structure, which is also convenient for assembly and disassembly.
