Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering machinery, specifically to a fixed base structure assembly for an electric steel grabber. Background Technology

[0002] Steel grabbers evolved from hydraulic excavators. Their booms and arms are used for grabbing materials, and their attachments are steel grabbers (mainly grappling hooks, 3+2 grappling hooks, electromagnetic chucks, etc.). They are primarily suitable for grabbing, lifting, and loading scrap metal, industrial waste, and construction debris. Steel grabbers are classified by power configuration into fuel-powered and electric types, each equipped with a separate fuel engine and electric motor, respectively. They are also classified by operating range into mobile and stationary types. Mobile types are equipped with a traveling frame and move according to the work site; stationary types do not have a traveling frame and only have a fixed base for operation in a fixed position.

[0003] Due to limitations imposed by the operating environment and the structure of the fixed base, electric steel grabbers equipped with fixed bases experience vibration and slight swaying at the slewing bearing mounting location between the slewing platform and the fixed base during operation, affecting the service life of the slewing motor and the slewing bearing. Furthermore, the current collector located in the center of the fixed base is difficult to assemble and maintain.

[0004] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The conventional electric steel grabber fixed base structure assembly includes a fixed base 6, a rotary platform 1, and a collector 2. The fixed base 6 is connected to the rotary platform 1 through a rotary bearing 3. The collector 2 is divided into a stator and a rotor. The stator is connected to the rotary platform 1, and the rotor is connected to the mounting pin hole 8 on the collector fixed base 7 through a pull-in pin shaft 15. The collector fixed base 7 is a bent plate with reinforcing plates 10 on both sides at the lower part. The reinforcing plates 10 are connected to the fixed base 6 by welding.

[0005] This fixed base structure assembly has two shortcomings:

[0006] On the one hand, the structure is weak. When the steel grabber is in operation, the slewing bearing 3 between the slewing platform 1 and the fixed base 6 vibrates and sways slightly, resulting in poor stability during operation.

[0007] On the other hand, the rotary platform 1 is heavy and bulky. The stator of the current collector 2 is fixed on the upper part of the rotary platform. When the rotary platform 3 and the fixed base 6 are assembled together, it is difficult to align and assemble the fork pin 15 at the bottom of the rotor actuation disk 16 with the mounting pin hole 8 on the current collector fixed base 7. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and extremely inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies, this invention provides a fixed base structure assembly for an electric steel grabber. On one hand, it reasonably enhances the structural strength and rigidity, improving the stability of the fixed base. On the other hand, it optimizes the assembly layout structure of the actuation disc fork pin and the current collector mounting base to facilitate the assembly and maintenance of the current collector.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0049] Please see Figures 4 to 6 An electric steel grabber fixed base structure assembly includes a fixed base 10 and a rotating platform 3. The fixed base 10 and the rotating platform 3 are connected by a slewing bearing 5. A current collector 4 is installed between the fixed base 10 and the rotating platform 3. The relay 4 is a transfer station for connecting the external power grid to the electrical system on the upper part of the rotating platform 3 via the lower fixed base 10. The fixed base 10 is provided with a strength and rigidity enhancement structure.

[0050] The fixed base 10 includes a support ring 15. The upper end of the support ring 15 is provided with a slewing bearing mounting plate 16, and the lower end is provided with a base 18. The side wall is provided with an inspection hole 14 and a wire hole 20. The slewing bearing mounting plate 16 is provided with a second light hole 17 for connecting with the slewing bearing 5. The base 18 is provided with a third light hole 19 for connecting with the fixed base 13. The inspection hole 14 is used for the installation of the current collector 4 inside the fixed base 10, as well as the connection and maintenance of the external power grid transmission cable.

[0051] The strength and stiffness enhancement structure is provided by setting several stiffening plates 30 between the base 18 and the support ring 15 of the fixed base 10 to improve the strength and stiffness of the lower part of the fixed base 10. The stiffening plates 30 are arranged to avoid the third light hole 19.

[0052] A reinforcing ring 29 is provided around the inspection hole 14 on the support ring 15 to enhance the structural strength of the outer side of the inspection hole 14. An inspection hole cover plate 33 is provided on the reinforcing ring 29 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the fixed base body and to ensure the cleanliness of the interior of the fixed base, so as to avoid premature corrosion and damage to the internal electrical components. On the other hand, the inspection hole cover plate 33 further enhances the strength around the inspection hole after installation. A partition ring 27 is provided on the inner side of the support ring 15 above the inspection hole 14.

[0053] Multiple vertical ribs 28 are provided on the inner side of the support ring 15. The lower end of the ribs 28 is connected to the base 18 and the upper end is connected to the partition ring 27. Ribs 28 are provided on both sides of the inspection hole 14. A second rib 32 is provided below the inspection hole 14. The second rib 32, the ribs 28 and the partition ring 27 form a frame-shaped reinforcing structure relative to the inspection hole 14, which enhances the strength and rigidity of the periphery of the inspection hole 14, and at the same time improves the overall strength and rigidity of the fixed base 10.

[0054] There is an unreinforced area A between the separator ring 27 and the slewing bearing mounting plate 18. This area is not reinforced to ensure that it has appropriate buffering and toughness, so that it can play a buffering role when faced with a huge instantaneous impact, thereby protecting the slewing bearing 5 and the fixed base 10.

[0055] The inspection hole cover 33 is equipped with a U-shaped handle. The inspection hole cover 33 has a large external size and heavy weight. The addition of the U-shaped handle makes it easier to install the cover and improves the safety of operators when installing and removing the cover.

[0060] Specifically, the stator of the current collector 4 is connected to the rotary platform 3 via a first washer 1 and a first bolt 2; the inspection hole cover 33 is connected to the inspection hole reinforcing ring 29 via a second washer 34 and a second bolt 35; the rotor of the current collector 4 is connected to the mounting bracket 36 via a shift fork pin 24 inserted into a thickened pin hole 45; the mounting bracket 36 is connected to the fixing plate 37 via a third washer 38 and a third bolt 39; the fixing plate 37 is connected to the fixing base 10 via a fourth washer 41 and a fourth bolt 42; and the wire clamp 40 is fixed to the two wings of the fixing plate 37 via a fifth washer 43 and a fifth bolt 44.

[0061] Combining the two embodiments, during assembly, first assemble the mounting bracket 36 and the fixing plate 37 together to form the rotor bracket assembly, assemble the stator and rotor of the current collector 4 together, then install the current collector 4 on the rotary platform 3, and then assemble the fixing seat 13, the fixing base 10, the slewing bearing 5, and the rotary platform 3 in sequence. Finally, insert the rotor bracket assembly into the fixing base 10 through the inspection hole 14, align the thickened pin hole 45 on the mounting bracket 36 with the shift fork pin shaft 24 on the shift disk 26, and complete the assembly. Finally, fix the rotor bracket assembly to the fixing base 10 through the threaded hole 31 on the partition ring 27.

[0062] The external input cable is fixed by the clamp 40 and passed through the second cable hole 25 into the collector 4.
