[0030] The pressure data acquisition module 3 is made of flexible film material and is installed in the connecting pin shaft between the bucket 101 and the forearm of the excavator; it can monitor the pressure changes on the pin shaft in real time and transmit these data to the data receiving module 701 of the data processing calculator 7 to further analyze the wear and shedding of the wear-resistant accessories.
[0031] The wear-resistant parts wear amount acquisition module 4 evaluates the wear status of the wear-resistant accessories by monitoring the mass changes of the wear-resistant accessories, and sends the relevant information to the data receiving module 701 of the data processing calculator 7; the wear-resistant parts wear amount acquisition module 4 includes: a wear information acquisition sensor 401, a wear-resistant accessories state judgment circuit 402 and a wear information sending module 403. The wear information acquisition sensor 401 collects the mass change information of the upper side teeth 104, the lower side teeth 105, and the bucket teeth 103, and sends it to the wear-resistant accessories state judgment circuit 402 to evaluate its wear status. After the evaluation is completed, the evaluated wear status information is sent to the data receiving module 701 of the data processing calculator 7 through the wear information sending module 403.
