Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heater devices, in particular to a counterweight structure for an excavator. Background Art
[0002] An excavator, also known as a backhoe, is an earth-moving machine that uses a bucket to dig materials above or below the supporting surface and load them into transport vehicles or unload them to a stockpile yard. A counterweight structure is configured on the excavator to increase the gravity on the end side of the excavator to prevent the excavator from becoming unbalanced.
[0003] Conventional counterweights are loaded together as a whole and are fixed weights, installed on the end wall of the excavator, such as on one side of the excavator chassis. Since the excavator bucket will be switched according to the environment, buckets of different sizes will be replaced. At the same time, the working environment of the excavator is different. When the excavator is in a state of large imbalance, a heavier counterweight structure is required to balance the excavator. Conversely, a smaller counterweight structure is required to balance the excavator. However, the weight of the conventional counterweight structure is fixed, and it is not convenient to switch the counterweight without having to take it out for replacement. Summary of the invention
