[0038] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar components.

[0039] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the control mechanism of the excavator safety valve according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the control mechanism at least includes a bracket 100 , a handle assembly 200 and a transition link 300 .

[0040] The bracket 100 is fixed on the excavator safety valve 001; the handle assembly 200 includes an adjusting handle 210 and a handle connector 220, the first end of the handle connector 220 is hingedly connected to the bracket 100, the handle connector 220 is fixedly connected to the adjusting handle 210, and the adjusting handle 210 can be manipulated to rotate the handle connector 220 relative to the bracket 100; the first end of the transition link 300 is hingedly connected to the second end of the handle connector 220, and the second end of the transition link 300 is used to be hingedly connected to the end of the valve core link 400 of the excavator safety valve 001.

[0041] In the control mechanism of the excavator safety valve 001 disclosed in the utility model, the handle connector 220 and the adjustment handle 210 can rotate synchronously, that is, rotating the adjustment handle 210 can make the handle connector 220 rotate relative to the bracket 100. At this time, since the two ends of the transition link 300 are respectively hingedly connected to the handle connector 220 and the valve core link 400, the valve core link 400 is rotated based on the transition link 300 as the handle connector 220 rotates. Since the end of the valve core link 400 is connected to the valve core 002 of the safety valve 001, the valve core 002 is moved as the valve core link 400 rotates, thereby changing the position state of the valve core 002, so that the excavator safety valve 001 can work in an open state or a closed state. It can be understood that when the safety valve 001 works in an open state, the oil circuit of the hydraulic control system of the bucket is in a connected state; when the safety valve 001 works in a closed state, the oil circuit of the hydraulic control system of the bucket is in a disconnected state.

[0042] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the control mechanism of the excavator safety valve 001 in the open state. Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the control mechanism of the excavator safety valve 001 in the closed state is as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, turning the adjusting handle 210 to the left can open the valve core 002 of the safety valve 001, and turning the adjusting handle 210 to the right can close the valve core 002 of the safety valve 001; the control mechanism has a simple structure, is easy to operate, has a low cost, and improves the working stability of the safety valve 001.

[0043] In another embodiment, the bracket 100 has a first pin 110, and the first end of the handle connector 220 is hingedly connected to the bracket 100 through the first pin 110. In this embodiment, the bracket 100 is fixed to the excavator safety valve 001, and the end of the handle connector 220 is sleeved on the first pin 110. The first pin 110 serves as the rotation axis of the handle connector 220, and the handle connector 220 can be rotated around the first pin 110 by rotating the adjustment handle 210. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the bracket 100 is provided with a mounting hole, and the bracket 100 and the excavator safety valve 001 can be fixed by screws or bolts. Figure 1 , when the bracket 100 is fixed on the excavator safety valve 001, the bracket 100 is specifically located on the right side of the safety valve 001, and the first pin 110 on the bracket 100 extends horizontally toward the left side of the safety valve 001, and the handle connector 220 is located at the left end of the first pin 110. That is, in this embodiment, the handle connector 220 and the bracket 100 are respectively located on opposite sides of the safety valve 001, and the handle connector 220 rotates on a plane parallel to the left end surface of the safety valve 001. Exemplarily, in order to realize the rotation of the handle connector 220 around the first pin 110, a through hole may be provided at the end of the handle connector 220, and the through hole of the handle connector 220 can be directly sleeved on the first pin 110.

[0044] Furthermore, the first end of the handle connector 220 has a handle sleeve 230 , and the handle sleeve 230 is sleeved on the outside of the first pin shaft 110 . Figure 8 FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a handle assembly 200 of an excavator safety valve 001 according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 8 As shown, the handle cover 230 is perpendicular to the adjustment handle 210 and the handle connector 220. At this time, the adjustment handle 210 and the handle connector 220 are arranged at intervals around the handle cover 230 at the end of the handle cover 230. In this embodiment, the adjustment handle 210, the handle connector 220 and the handle cover 230 can be an integral structure or a split structure. When the split structure is used, the ends of the adjustment handle 210 and the ends of the handle connector 220 can be further fixed to the end of the handle cover 230 by bonding or welding. Since the adjustment handle 210, the handle connector 220 and the handle cover 230 are an integral structure or are fixed together, when the adjustment handle 210 is rotated, the handle cover 230 rotates around the first pin 110, and the handle connector 220 fixedly connected to the handle cover 230 also rotates around the first pin 110.

[0045] In order to reduce the wear of the handle cover 230 and increase the service life of the handle assembly 200, the control mechanism may further include a wear-resistant steel cover (not shown in the figure), which is arranged between the handle cover 230 and the first pin 110. In this embodiment, the wear-resistant steel cover serves as a transition piece and has the advantage of wear resistance. There are two wear-resistant steel covers between the handle cover 230 and the first pin 110. In this embodiment, the wear of the handle cover 230 is transferred to the two wear-resistant steel covers, thereby reducing the wear of the handle cover 230, increasing the service life of the handle assembly 200, and thus reducing the cost.

[0046] In order to further realize the hinged connection between the handle connector 220 and the transition link 300, the second end of the handle connector 220 has a second pin 240, and the first end of the transition link 300 is hingedly connected to the second end of the handle connector through the second pin 240. Figure 6 As can be seen in the figure, the end of the handle connector 220 away from the handle sleeve 230 is provided with a second pin 240, and the second pin 240 and the handle connector 220 can be an integral structure or a split structure. When the second pin 240 and the handle connector 220 are split structures, the second pin 240 and the handle connector 220 can be connected in a detachable manner or a non-detachable manner. Exemplarily, the second pin 240 and the handle connector 220 are connected by bonding or welding. In order to realize the rotation of the handle connector 220 relative to the transition link 300, the end of the transition link 300 is provided with a through hole for being sleeved on the outside of the second pin 240; when the through hole is sleeved on the outside of the second pin 240, the transition link 300 is rotated and moved as the handle connector 220 rotates. In addition, the transition link 300 and the handle connector are located on the same side of the safety valve, that is, the bracket and the transition link are respectively located on opposite sides of the excavator safety valve.

[0047] Similarly, in order to realize the hinged connection between the transition link 300 and the valve core link 400, the first end of the valve core link 400 has a third pin 410, the second end of the transition link 300 is hingedly connected to the first end of the valve core link through the third pin 410, and the second end of the valve core link 400 is connected to the valve core 002 of the safety valve 001. Figure 5 As shown, the first end of the valve core connecting rod 400 refers to the right end of the valve core connecting rod 400. In this embodiment, the right end of the valve core connecting rod 400 is hingedly connected to the transition connecting rod 300, and the left end of the valve core connecting rod 400 is connected to the valve core 002 of the safety valve 001. Under the rotation of the valve core connecting rod 400, the valve core 002 moves in position, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the safety valve 001.

[0048] Exemplarily, the second end of the transition link 300 is provided with a through hole, and the through hole at the second end of the transition link 300 is directly sleeved on the outside of the third pin 410 to realize the hinged connection between the transition link 300 and the valve core link 400. In this embodiment, both ends of the transition link 300 are provided with through holes (refer to Fig.10 ), the two through holes are respectively used to set the second pin shaft 240 on the handle connecting piece 220 and the third pin shaft 410 on the valve core connecting rod 400. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an excavator safety valve 001 according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 4It can be seen that the left end of the valve core connecting rod 400 has a valve core hole that matches the valve core 002. When the valve core connecting rod 400 is assembled in place, the right end of the valve core connecting rod 400 is hingedly connected to the end of the transition connecting rod 300. When the handle connecting member 220 rotates, the handle connecting member 220 drives the valve core connecting rod 400 to rotate through the transition connecting rod 300, and the valve core 002 located in the valve core hole rotates synchronously with the valve core connecting rod 400. The rotation of the valve core 002 changes the working state of the valve core 002.

[0049] In the handle assembly 200 , in order to facilitate the manipulation of the adjustment handle 210 and save effort when operating the handle assembly 200 , the angle between the adjustment handle 210 and the handle connector 220 may be an obtuse angle. Fig. 9 for Figure 8 The front view of the handle assembly 200 is shown from Fig. 9 It can be seen that the angle between the adjustment handle 210 and the handle connector 220 is greater than 90 degrees. For example, the angle between the adjustment handle 210 and the handle connector 220 is 100 to 130 degrees. In addition, the axis of the adjustment handle 210 and the axis of the handle sleeve 230 are perpendicular to each other. Since the handle sleeve 230 is sleeved outside the first pin shaft 110, the axis of the handle sleeve 230 and the axis of the first pin shaft 110 are parallel to each other, so the axis of the adjustment handle 210 and the axis of the first pin shaft 110 are also perpendicular.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the adjustment handle 210 on the handle assembly 200 is pulled to the left, and the adjustment handle 210 will rotate to the left by a certain angle with the axis of the first pin shaft 110 as the rotation axis. At the same time, the handle connecting member 220 will drive the transition connecting rod 300 to move to the upper left through the second pin shaft 240 at its end, and the transition connecting rod 300 drives the valve core connecting rod 400 to rotate counterclockwise through the third pin shaft 410 on the valve core connecting rod 400, thereby opening the valve core 002, so that the safety valve 001 works in the open state. When the adjustment handle 210 on the handle assembly 200 is pulled to the right, the adjustment handle 210 will rotate to the right by a certain angle with the axis of the first pin shaft 110 as the rotation axis. At the same time, the handle connector 220 will drive the transition link 300 to move to the lower right through the second pin shaft 240 at its end, and the transition link 300 drives the valve core link 400 to rotate clockwise through the third pin shaft 410 on the valve core link 400, thereby closing the valve core 002, so that the safety valve 001 works in the disconnected state. Further, after the adjustment handle 210 is pulled, in order to keep the adjustment handle 210 in the preset state, the friction between the handle cover 230 on the handle assembly 200 and the first pin shaft 110 can be increased, or the adjustment handle 210 can be set to a gear position.

[0051] Through the above embodiments, it can be found that the control mechanism of the excavator safety valve disclosed in the present application, the bracket is fixed on the safety valve, the handle connecting piece can rotate relative to the bracket, the two ends of the transition connecting rod are respectively hingedly connected with the second end of the handle connecting piece and the end of the valve core connecting rod of the safety valve, and the bracket, handle connecting piece, transition connecting rod and valve core connecting rod on the safety valve in the control mechanism form a four-bar mechanism, and the valve core movement of the safety valve can be realized by manipulating the adjustment handle, so that the working state of the safety valve can be changed by manipulating the adjustment handle. The control mechanism has a simple structure, is easy to install and maintain, and has a compact overall structure and has little effect on the overall size of the excavator. The control mechanism is realized by mechanical means, which not only avoids the occurrence of component failure, but also improves the convenience of operation; the cost of the mechanical control mechanism is reduced by about 30% compared with other safety valve control mechanisms. In summary, the control mechanism of the excavator safety valve not only reduces the cost of the control mechanism of the excavator safety valve, but also improves the control stability of the safety valve, and further improves the working efficiency of the excavator.

[0052] In the present invention, features described and / or illustrated for one embodiment may be used in the same manner or in a similar manner in one or more other embodiments, and / or combined with features of other embodiments or replace features of other embodiments.

[0053] The above-listed embodiments show and describe the basic principles and main features of the utility model, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the utility model by those skilled in the art without making any creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the utility model.
