TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric shovel, in particular to a connecting device of a bottom opening lever of an electric shovel. BACKGROUND
[0002] The open-pit mine adopts the way of direct mining on the ground to work, and the main excavating equipment in the open-pit mining process is an electric shovel. At present, the bottom opening lever of the electric shovel is connected with the bucket body directly through an unloading buckle. Since the bottom opening lever generates a large impact force in the work, the strength of the unloading buckle cannot meet the long-term work of the bottom opening lever, and the bottom opening lever and the unloading buckle are non-design matching parts, so cutting and welding need to be performed on the bottom opening lever for matching use, which greatly weakens the strength of the bottom opening lever and leaves a safety hazard.
[0003] The electric shovel has a large size, and the maximum height difference between the upper and lower positions is 18 meters, wherein the height difference between the upper and lower positions of the bucket mechanism where the bottom opening lever is located can reach 15 meters. The bottom opening lever controls the opening of the bucket door, and once the bottom opening lever connecting device fails, the bucket door is prone to be opened automatically (referred to as: spoon door self-opening in the industry). The spoon door self-opening is extremely harmful, and in the process of heavy load excavation, the self-opening of the bucket door will cause the bucket door to knock the connecting cylinder of the bucket lever, causing the connecting cylinder to be damaged and the equipment to be shut down. In the process of heavy load loading, the self-opening of the bucket door is more harmful. In the process of loading of the excavator, the excavator cooperates with the heavy self-unloading truck, and the self-opening of the bucket door will cause the goods to hit the truck and the bucket to scratch the truck, which may cause the equipment to be shut down, or even cause personnel injury and death. Therefore, a reliable bottom opening lever connecting device is urgently needed in production to ensure the stability of the bottom opening mechanism, and the present application is proposed. SUMMARY The present application aims to provide a connecting device of a bottom opening lever of an electric shovel, which can stably connect the bottom opening lever with the bucket body and avoid the self-opening of the bucket door in production, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the bucket bottom opening mechanism.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] Example A connecting device for the bottom-opening lever of an electric shovel, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes mounting block 1 and connecting plate 2, as detailed below: Mounting block 1 is rectangular in shape. One end of mounting block 1 is fixed with a connecting plate 2 that connects to the electric shovel bucket. A connecting hole 201 is provided through the connecting plate 2. This connecting device is hinged to the electric shovel bucket through the connecting hole 201, achieving a stable connection with the bucket. A slot 3 is provided on the side wall of mounting block 1. Both ends of the slot 3 penetrate the two opposite side walls of mounting block 1 and communicate with the outside. One end of the bottom-opening lever 4 is inserted into the slot 3 (e.g., ...). Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the mounting block 1 is connected to the bottom lever 4 by fixing bolts.
[0022] Mounting block 1 includes a first plate 101 and a second plate 102 that are detachably connected, and connecting block 2 is fixed to the top of the side wall of the first plate 101. The first plate 101 is provided with a groove 1011 (e.g., Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown), the second plate 102 is provided with a protrusion 1021 (as shown). Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the protrusion 1021 is inserted into the groove 1011. The depth of the groove 1011 is greater than the thickness of the protrusion 1021. After the protrusion 1021 and the groove 1011 are engaged, a slot 3 is naturally formed between the groove 1011 and the protrusion 1021 for the bottom lever to be inserted.
[0023] The first plate 101 is provided with a first limiting hole 1012 at one end near the connecting plate 2 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown), the second plate 102 is provided with a second limiting hole 1022 at one end near the connecting plate 2 (as shown). Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first limiting hole 1012 and the second limiting hole 1022 are connected by limiting bolts. The first plate 101 and the second plate 102 are connected together by the limiting bolts to ensure the structural stability of the mounting block 1.
[0024] A first fixing hole 1013 is provided through the groove 1011 of the first plate 101, and a second fixing hole 1023 is provided through the protrusion 1021 of the second plate 102. One end of the bottom-opening lever has a third fixing hole. The fixing bolt passes through the second fixing hole 1023, the third fixing hole and the first fixing hole 1013 in sequence to connect and firmly fix the bottom-opening lever to the mounting block 1, preventing the bottom-opening lever from loosening or falling off during operation. The diameter of the first fixing hole 1013 and the second fixing hole 1023 is 40mm.
[0025] The second plate 102 is provided with hexagonal placement holes 1024 at the ends of the second limiting hole 1022 and the second fixing hole 1023 away from the protrusion 1021 (e.g., Figure 7 As shown, the two placement holes 1024 are used to place the nuts of the limiting bolt and the fixing bolt, respectively, to prevent the nuts from being exposed and affecting the overall structure and working performance of the device. The diameter of the first limiting hole 1012 and the second limiting hole 1022 is 34mm, and the diameter of the placement hole 1024 is larger than the diameter of the first limiting hole 1012 and the second limiting hole 1022.
[0026] When the bottom-opening lever needs to be replaced during use, the connecting device provided by this invention can be easily replaced by simply unscrewing the fixing bolts, pulling the bottom-opening lever out of the slot 3, replacing it with a new one, and then fixing it with the fixing bolts. When the first plate 101 or the second plate 102 of the mounting block 1 is damaged, the limiting bolts and fixing bolts can be unscrewed, the damaged plate can be removed, a new plate can be replaced, and then it can be fixed with the limiting bolts and fixing bolts.
[0027] Electric shovels in the prior art, such as Figure 9 As shown, the electric shovel bucket includes a bucket body 5 and a bucket gate 6. The opening and closing of the bucket gate 6 is achieved by a bottom-opening lever 4 pulling a bucket bolt 7. The bottom-opening lever 4 is inserted into the frame of the bucket gate 6, and the bucket bolt 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom-opening lever 4. The lower part of the bucket body 5 is provided with a socket 8. When the bucket gate 6 is closed, the bucket bolt 7 is inserted into the socket 8. When it is necessary to open the bucket gate 6, the bottom-opening lever 4 is pulled upward by a wire rope. The bottom-opening lever 4 drives the bucket bolt 7 to move upward and disengage from the socket 8, thus opening the bucket gate 6. The connecting device provided by this invention is installed at the end of the bottom-opening lever 4 away from the bucket bolt 7.
[0028] By setting the slot on the mounting block, the open-bottom lever and the mounting block are detachably connected, when the open-bottom lever is damaged, only the fixing bolt is disassembled, the open-bottom lever can be taken out from the slot for replacement, the operation is simple, and maintenance and replacement are convenient. The mounting block adopts split design and is detachably connected by the first plate body and the second plate body, which not only reduces the machining difficulty, is easy to process and saves the production cost, but also when part of the structure of the mounting block is damaged, only the corresponding plate body needs to be replaced, the whole mounting block does not need to be replaced, and the maintenance cost is further reduced. At the same time, the split design can quickly disassemble and install during maintenance, greatly shortening the maintenance time. In addition, the present application is suitable for too heavy WK-35 type excavator, and is also suitable for WK-20 type excavator, and has wide application range, and beneficial effects are obtained in cost and benefit.
[0029] In summary, the present application is designed by splitting and detachable connection, which effectively reduces the maintenance cost and shortens the maintenance time on the basis of ensuring the stable operation of the open-bottom lever mechanism, and is easy to process and replace, and has good practicability and economy.
[0030] Finally, it should be pointed out that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
