Abstract

The present invention is an adjustable three-section arm working device for small excavators, which uses an electric push rod to replace a hydraulic cylinder and has faster response speed, higher precision, lower maintenance cost and longer life. In order to achieve precise adjustment, a magnetostrictive sensor and an angular displacement sensor are introduced into the system. The magnetostrictive sensor measures the telescopic length of the arm and transmits an accurate feedback signal to the controller, which then accurately controls the length of the electric push rod to adjust the arm length. At the same time, an angular displacement sensor and a magnetostrictive sensor are added to the electric push rod, which can monitor the angular displacement and position displacement of the push rod and coordinate and control it through the controller. This combined control system can improve the stability and precision of the system. This precise control can improve the working efficiency and accuracy of small excavators in confined spaces, expand the working range and angle, and provide a more convenient and safe operating experience.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the innovative field of three-section arm excavators, and in particular relates to an adjustable three-section arm working device of a small excavator. Background Art

[0002] Excavators, as heavy machinery, are widely used in engineering construction, mining, and other fields. Traditional three-section excavators have fixed arm lengths, making them inflexible to different work scenarios. Furthermore, their hydraulic control systems create high noise levels and high maintenance costs.

[0003] Therefore, a new, adjustable-length, three-section boom excavator is needed to meet the needs of a wider range of work scenarios. Furthermore, with increasing demands for environmental protection, traditional fully hydraulic control systems are also insufficient in terms of environmental protection and energy consumption. Therefore, developing an adjustable three-section boom working device for small excavators to adapt to different digging depths and working environments will improve equipment flexibility and reduce maintenance costs, while also meeting environmental and energy conservation requirements. This will become a trend in future excavator technology development.

[0004] Patent CN211922760 proposes a telescopic device for the arm length of an excavator, comprising a fixed arm and a movable arm connected to the fixed arm in a slidable manner. The front section of the fixed arm has an upright L-shaped cross-section, including a fixed bottom edge and fixed side edges. The rear end of the movable arm has an inverted L-shaped cross-section, with its two sides respectively resting on the fixed bottom edge and the fixed side edges, forming a rectangular cavity with the front end of the fixed arm. A drive gear is provided within the rectangular cavity. The axle of the drive gear is fixed to the fixed arm. The movable arm is provided with a rack that meshes with the drive gear and is used to drive the movable arm to slide back and forth as the drive gear rotates. Guide edges are provided on both sides of the front end of the fixed arm, wrapping around the movable arm. When the excavator arm length needs to be adjusted, the drive gear rotates under the action of the drive source, driving the rack to move, thereby driving the movable arm to slide back and forth, thereby adjusting the overall arm length of the excavator to adapt to working conditions with different arm length requirements. However, in the design of the inverted L-shaped rear end section of the movable arm, only two sides are in contact with the fixed bottom and side edges, which may lead to weak rigidity of the overall structure. When bearing heavy loads or under complex working conditions, some bending or deformation problems may occur, affecting the stability and reliability of the excavator; the device uses drive gears and racks for forward and backward sliding adjustment. This driving method may be limited by the driving force and transmission efficiency. Under certain working conditions, such as those requiring a larger adjustment force or a fast response adjustment speed, this driving method may not meet the requirements; when achieving precise control, no sensors are used to obtain the real-time position or angle information of the arm length, and accurate control of the telescopic adjustment of the device cannot be achieved.

[0005] Patent CN203174651U provides a multi-arm, short-tail excavator that solves the problem in the prior art that the large-arm, two-arm structure and the cast iron counterweight at the tail affect operational flexibility. The excavator adopts a circular turntable and a "concave" counterweight design, making it more flexible while ensuring a reasonable center of gravity, increasing the convenience and safety of operation. At the same time, a three-arm and corresponding hydraulic cylinder are added, allowing the excavator to increase its working length when operating in a confined space. However, this multi-arm, short-tail excavator has a concave shape dug at the counterweight position, which correspondingly reduces the counterweight, which will reduce the excavator's stability, load-bearing capacity and operational balance, and increase the risk of vibration and shock, which may have a negative impact on the performance, safety and reliability of the machine; and the corresponding increase in hydraulic cylinders may make the layout and control of the hydraulic system more complicated, and the use of a hydraulic system for all controls has problems such as high noise and high energy consumption; and it has a fixed arm length, and the operator cannot flexibly adjust to different working ranges.

[0006] Patent DE3142100A1 proposes an articulated arm for an excavator. The boom arm and the boom jib are connected by an articulated joint and can rotate. The boom jib and the boom jib are also connected by an articulated joint and can rotate. This allows the boom arm, the jib, and the bucket to operate in different straight lines, increasing the bucket's lateral movement range and, in other words, the working range. However, this structural design increases instability. Since the boom arm, the jib, and the bucket are not operating in a straight line, the structural stability of the excavator is affected, which may cause the machine to become unstable or sway during excavation, increasing the difficulty and risk of operation. It also reduces strength and carrying capacity. Since they are not on the same working surface, the power transmission between the bucket and the boom arm is affected, resulting in a weakened digging force and a reduced carrying capacity of the excavator. Operational accuracy is also reduced, requiring more time and effort to adjust and control the bucket's position and posture to ensure the correct digging position, ultimately leading to reduced efficiency.

[0007] Patent CN211312641U proposes an energy-saving structure for a multi-action arm of an excavator, including a boom, a boom arm, an arm cylinder, a boom energy-saving counterweight, and an arm energy-saving counterweight. This structure uses a multi-action arm and an energy-saving counterweight, which can achieve energy saving under various working conditions. The arm energy-saving counterweight, the boom arm, and the front-end working device form a lever structure. The fulcrum of the lever structure is the kingpin shaft of the arm, and the arm cylinder drives the boom arm to rotate around the kingpin shaft of the arm. However, this multi-action arm needs to have multiple movement modes and joint control, which requires a complex structural design and control system to ensure its smooth and stable operation; and the use of a hydraulic system for all controls has the problems of high noise and high energy consumption, so it is necessary to reasonably manage the energy consumption of the system, and the multi-action arm structure requires different components to move at the same time, so energy distribution and management may be more complicated.

[0008] Patent CN109084672A discloses a precision-controlled electric push rod with a built-in magnetostrictive displacement sensor. The push rod comprises a main body, a handle, a power compartment, a main engine box, a gearbox, a control compartment, and a push rod compartment. The invention is simple to operate. The processor calculates the push rod displacement using the magnetostrictive displacement sensor's displacement calculation formula and displays it directly on a display screen, making it convenient for operators. Inspired by this patent, and in order to address the issues addressed by this patent, innovative improvements were made to adapt to the requirements of this patent. Summary of the Invention
