Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bulldozer blade overload protection, and particularly relates to a bulldozer blade overload protection mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bulldozer blade is a commonly used device for earthmoving of engineering machinery, and excavators are often configured as a standard. The maximum width of the bulldozer blade is generally the same as that of the chassis of the whole machine. The bulldozer blade can play a role in removing obstacles in front, cleaning the road surface or fixing the machine body under certain working conditions. The control lever of the bulldozer blade is arranged in the cab of the excavator, and the driver controls the lifting of the bulldozer blade through the control lever to assist the working device of the excavator. Due to the complex and diverse soil environment, some large hard objects (such as large stones and large metal products) are often hidden in the soil. When the excavator is working, the bulldozer blade often collides with these large hard objects, causing damage to the blade plate of the bulldozer blade.

[0003] Through retrieval, the invention patent with the Chinese patent number CN 113309160 B discloses a bulldozer blade overload protection structure and method, which comprises a bulldozer blade, a hydraulic driving mechanism, a controller and a sensor. The bulldozer blade transmits the force affecting the internal hydraulic value of the hydraulic driving mechanism to the hydraulic driving mechanism through mutual linkage with the hydraulic driving mechanism. The controller monitors the internal hydraulic value of the hydraulic driving mechanism through the sensor and triggers the hydraulic driving mechanism to drive the bulldozer blade to avoid the hard object according to the internal hydraulic value of the hydraulic driving mechanism. Compared with the prior art, the invention patent with the Chinese patent number CN 113309160 B can monitor the change of the pressure value borne by the front end of the bulldozer blade in real time, and make avoidance action in time when encountering a hard object, thereby protecting the bulldozer blade from damage.

[0004] However, in the process of making the bulldozer blade make avoidance action in time through the hydraulic driving mechanism, the requirement for the cooperation degree between each electrical element in the hydraulic driving mechanism is extremely high, and the soil environment is complex and diverse. Once a certain electrical element in the hydraulic driving mechanism is damaged, the bulldozer blade cannot make avoidance action in time. Therefore, a mechanical driving mechanism is needed to make the bulldozer blade make avoidance action in time. SUMMARY

[0011] The bottom of the connecting seat A is fixedly connected with a U-shaped limiting plate, and the bottoms of the two outer sleeve ears are in contact with the top of the U-shaped limiting plate; that is, the two elastic expansion ears, the fixed shaft and the gear can only jointly rotate upwards between the two rotating shafts.

[0012] The elastic expansion rack comprises a fixed plate fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped connecting beam, a fixed rod fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed plate, and a rack meshing with the gear slidingly connected to the outside of the fixed rod; when the rack is pressed to the left by the bulldozer blade, the rack can slide along the outside of the fixed rod, and the end of the rack is a certain distance away from the outside of the bulldozer blade.
