[0021] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, an excavator cab support device is applied to a cab and includes: a front support and protection part and a driving part, wherein: The front support and protection part includes multiple first support rods 2 arranged radially, multiple second support rods 3 arranged latitudinally, an upper fixing sleeve 4, a lower fixing sleeve 5 and an adjusting unit. There are multiple rows of threaded holes on the front side of the frame of the cab 1. Multiple second support rods 3 are respectively connected to one row of threaded holes by bolts in a threaded manner. The second support rod 3 has a through groove, and the first support rod 2 passes through the through grooves of multiple second support rods 3. Both the upper fixing sleeve 4 and the lower fixing sleeve 5 are provided with first counterbores that cooperate with one end of the first support rod 2. The first counterbore of the lower fixing sleeve 5 can be designed to be shallower. The lower fixing sleeve 5 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the frame of the cab 1. The adjusting unit includes an adjusting frame 6 that passes through the front windshield of the cab 1. The adjusting frame 6 has a sliding groove 7. Multiple second counterbores 8 are arranged side by side at the sliding groove 7. The second counterbores 8 have internal threads. The number of the second counterbores 8 is greater than or equal to the number of the first support rods 2 + the number of the first support rods 2 / 2. In this way, the uniform distribution of the second counterbores 8 can ensure that there is an idle second counterbore 8 beside each first support rod 2. The middle part of the first support rod 2 has a threaded hole. The first support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the adjusting frame 6 through a threaded rod 9 and the second counterbore 8 and the threaded hole. A handle can be arranged on the threaded rod 9, so as to facilitate the rotation of the threaded rod 9; The upper fixing sleeve 4 is in transmission connection with the driving part. When there is a first support rod 2 blocking the view during operation, the driving part drives the upper fixing sleeve 4 away from the top of the first support rod 2. At this time, the corresponding threaded rod 9 is loosened, and the corresponding first support rod 2 can be moved and fixed to the adjacent second counterbore 8.

[0022] When this support device is in use, the second support rod 3 can be connected to one row of threaded holes by bolts in a threaded manner. Which row of threaded holes can be set according to specific needs. For example, the driver can first sit on the driver's seat and observe to select a position that does not affect the line of sight to determine the specific installation position of the second support rod 3. The first support rod 2 is fixed through the upper fixing sleeve 4, the lower fixing sleeve 5 and the adjusting frame 6. When working, due to some angular reasons, some of the first support rods 2 block the view. At this time, the driving part can be used to drive the upper fixing sleeve 4 away from the top of the first support rod 2, and then the corresponding threaded rod 9 is loosened. At this time, the driver can put his hand through the sliding groove 7 in the cab 1, so as to move the corresponding first support rod 2 and fix it to the adjacent second counterbore 8, so as to avoid the influence of this first support rod 2 on the view, and at the same time the others.

[0023] As described above, the present device can support and protect the cab 1 through the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3. When the first support rod 2 blocks the view in certain angular situations, the driver can adjust the position of the first support rod 2 in the cab 1, thus avoiding the influence of the first support rod 2 on the view, while not affecting the protection of the front side of the cab 1 by other support rods.

[0024] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, the support device further includes a top support protection part, and the top support protection part is used to be arranged on the top of the cab 1. Optionally, the top protection part includes a first frame 10, and a first protection net is arranged inside the first frame 10. The top of the cab 1 can be protected through the top protection part, further improving the protection effect on the cab 1.

[0025] In some embodiments, the support device further includes a cleaning part, and the cleaning part can move between the top and the front side of the cab 1. After working for a period of time, there may be dirt on the front support protection part, which affects the line of sight and needs to be cleaned. To solve the cleaning problem, the present invention also designs a cleaning part.

[0026] As Figures 4 - 6 shown, optionally, the cleaning part includes a second frame 11 and a first electric cylinder. A roller assembly 12 is arranged at the bottom of the second frame 11. Chute tracks for cooperating with the rollers in the roller assembly 12 are arranged on both the first frame 10 and the front side of the cab 1 frame. The chute track on the first frame 10 is inclined. At least two groups of connecting plates 13 are arranged on the second frame 11, and brushes 14 are arranged on the connecting plates 13. A second protection net 15 is arranged on the second frame 11. A limiting cone rod 16 is arranged on the telescopic rod of the first electric cylinder. A travel sensor is arranged in the chute track of the first frame 10. When the travel sensor detects the roller assembly 12, the first electric cylinder extends to drive the limiting cone rod 16 to pass through the second protection net 15 to limit the second frame 11. The first electric cylinder is electrically connected to a switch. When the switch is pressed, the first electric cylinder shortens to drive the limiting cone rod 16 to leave the second protection net 15.

[0027] Initially, the cleaning part is located at the top of the cab 1. At this time, the first electric cylinder is in the extended state, and the cleaning part is fixed by the limit cone rod 16 passing through the second protective net 15. When cleaning is required, the first electric cylinder is controlled to shorten. Since the chute track on the first frame 10 is inclined, the cleaning part will automatically slide down. During the downward sliding process, the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 are cleaned by the brush 14. It is also possible to manually pull the cleaning part up and down for repeated cleaning. After cleaning, the cleaning part is pushed back to the top of the cab 1. When the travel sensor detects the roller assembly 12, the first electric cylinder can be controlled by the controller to extend, driving the limit cone rod 16 to pass through the second protective net 15 to limit and fix the cleaning part again.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, this cleaning part can complete the rapid cleaning of the front support and protection part and can be located at the top of the cab 1 when not cleaning, further enhancing the protection of the top through the second protective net 15.

[0029] In some embodiments, a reinforcement component is further provided on the second frame 11, and the reinforcement component improves the stability of the first support rod 2.

[0030] As Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, optionally, the reinforcement component includes a baffle 17 arranged on the front side of the cab 1, a first bracket 18 and a second bracket 19 fixed on the second frame 11. A plurality of first springs 20 are arranged on one side of the second bracket 19. One end of the first spring 20 is provided with a reinforcement plate 21. A T-shaped part 22 is arranged on one side of the reinforcement plate 21. The T-shaped part 22 slides through the first bracket 18. A connecting part 23 is arranged on the T-shaped part 22. A second spring 24 is arranged between the connecting part 23 and the first bracket 18. In the initial position, the T-shaped part 22 blocks the reinforcement plate 21. When the second frame 11 drops, the T-shaped part 22 impacts the baffle 17, causing the T-shaped part 22 to move upward. The upper end of the T-shaped part 22 leaves the reinforcement part, and the reinforcement part extends outward between the two first support rods 2 under the action of the first spring 20.

[0031] When the driver discovers a risk of impact on the front side of the cab 1 during work, in order to further enhance the protection effect on the front side at this time, the switch can be pressed. After pressing the switch, the first electric cylinder shortens to drive the limit cone rod 16 away from the second protective net 15. At this time, the cleaning part drops. When the second frame 11 drops, the T-shaped part 22 impacts the baffle 17, causing the T-shaped part 22 to move upward. The upper end of the T-shaped part 22 leaves the reinforcing part, and the reinforcing part extends outward between the two first support rods 2 under the action of the first spring 20, further enhancing the stability of the first support rod 2, thereby enhancing the support and protection effect of the first support rod 2. In this way, by enhancing the support and protection effect of the first support rod 2 and the cleaning part located on the front side of the cab 1, the protection effect on the front side of the cab 1 is enhanced.

[0032] Optionally, the driving part includes a second electric cylinder for being arranged on the frame of the cab 1, and the telescopic rod of the second electric cylinder is arranged on the upper fixed sleeve 4. The movement of the upper fixed sleeve 4 can be realized through the operation of the second electric cylinder.

[0033] In some embodiments, a windproof sleeve is sleeved on the adjusting frame 6. The windproof sleeve can prevent the wind from blowing into the cab 1 from the sliding groove 7. When the position of the first support frame needs to be adjusted, the windproof sleeve can be removed.

[0034] Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is only exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention (including the claims) is limited to these examples; under the concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations in different aspects of the present invention as above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of brevity.

[0035] The present invention aims to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
