Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery, in particular to a standby starting circuit for a micro excavator. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of modern engineering machinery technology, mini excavators, as an important type of engineering machinery, are widely used in the fields of construction, municipal administration, gardening, etc. The starting system of a mini excavator is one of its key components, responsible for providing the necessary power to start the engine. However, in a complex engineering environment, the starting system may fail for various reasons, such as failure of the one-button start switch, unstable power supply, etc., resulting in the mini excavator being unable to start smoothly, which in turn affects the project progress and operating efficiency.
[0003] At present, the mini excavators with cabs are used in harsh environments because the one-button start switch is directly exposed to the outside environment and is easily damaged, resulting in the problem that the vehicle cannot be started. The backup start circuits equipped with some mini excavators on the market are not flexible enough in the connection between the backup start switch and the control instrument, and cannot realize the flexible switching of multiple start modes; some backup start circuits are not well designed in terms of circuit protection, and cannot effectively avoid the damage to the mini excavators caused by circuit failures, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a standby starting circuit for a micro excavator which can start a starter through a standby starting switch in view of the above problems.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model discloses a backup starting circuit for a micro excavator, including a control instrument, a starter and a power supply. The starter is connected to the power supply to form a power supply circuit. Its structural characteristics are: it also includes a one-button starting switch for outputting a starting signal to the control instrument, the one-button starting switch is electrically connected to the control instrument and the power supply, the control instrument is electrically connected to the control end of the starter and outputs a starting control signal to it, and also includes a backup starting switch for outputting a backup starting signal to the control instrument, the backup starting switch is electrically connected to the control instrument and the power supply.
[0006] The one-button start switch is used for normal vehicle start, and the start operation can be completed on the switch; the backup start switch is only used for backup start after the one-button start switch is damaged. To prevent misoperation, after the backup start switch is pressed, the instrument backup switch port receives a high level, and the instrument interface will pop up a start prompt message to complete the start operation on the instrument. As a central control unit, the control instrument can receive the start signal from the one-button start switch and convert it into a start control signal to drive the starter to start the engine. The backup start switch provides an additional starting method. When the one-button start switch fails, the operator can start the engine through the backup start switch, ensuring the reliability of the starting circuit. The backup starting circuit should be able to start the starter through the backup start switch when the one-button start switch or power supply fails, ensuring that the mini excavator can start smoothly and continue to work, significantly improving the reliability and availability of the starting circuit, and meeting the use requirements in complex engineering environments.
[0007] It also includes a starter relay. The control end of the starter is connected to the power supply to form a power supply circuit. The normally open contact of the starter relay is installed on the power supply circuit. The starter relay is used to control the power supply circuit of the starter. By controlling the on and off of the normally open contact, the starter can be started and stopped, which enhances the safety and reliability of the circuit.
[0008] One end of the coil of the starter relay is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected to the control instrument. This connection method enables the control instrument to indirectly control the action of the starter relay by controlling the current of the coil, thereby realizing remote control.
[0009] A first fuse is connected in series to the power supply circuit of the starter control end. The first fuse plays an overcurrent protection role. When an abnormal current appears in the circuit, the fuse will melt and cut off the circuit to prevent damage to circuit components and equipment.
[0010] A second fuse is connected in series on the connection line of the one-touch start switch. The second fuse is used to protect the one-touch start switch and its related circuits from damage caused by short circuit or overload.
[0011] The connection line of the standby start switch is connected in series with a third fuse, which is used to protect the standby start switch and its related circuits, ensuring that the standby start switch can work normally in an emergency.
[0012] The negative pole of the power supply is connected to the vehicle body, and a power switch is installed on the connection line between the power supply and the vehicle body. The power switch is convenient for operators to control the on and off of the power supply. At the same time, the negative pole of the power supply connected to the vehicle body can provide a stable reference potential and enhance the stability of the circuit.
[0013] The standby start switch and the one-button start switch are connected to different ports of the control instrument respectively, ensuring that the vehicle can still start normally when one of the port lines fails.
[0014] In summary, the beneficial effect of the utility model is that the control instrument, as a central control unit, can receive the start signal from the one-button start switch and convert it into a start control signal to drive the starter to start the engine. The backup start switch provides an additional starting method. When the one-button start switch fails, the operator can start the engine through the backup start switch, ensuring the reliability of the starting circuit. The backup starting circuit should be able to start the starter through the backup start switch when the one-button start switch or power supply fails, ensuring that the micro-excavator can start smoothly and continue to work, significantly improving the reliability and availability of the starting circuit, and meeting the use requirements in complex engineering environments.

[0023] The one-button start switch 5 is used for normal vehicle start, and the start operation can be completed on the switch; the standby start switch 4 is only used for standby start after the one-button start switch 5 is damaged. To prevent misoperation, after the standby start switch 4 is pressed, the instrument standby switch port receives a high level, and the instrument interface will pop up a start prompt message to complete the start operation on the instrument. The control instrument 1, as a central control unit, can receive the start signal from the one-button start switch 5 and convert it into a start control signal to drive the starter 3 to start the engine.

One end of the coil of the starter relay 2 is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected to the control instrument 1. This connection method enables the control instrument 1 to indirectly control the action of the starter relay 2 by controlling the current of the coil, thereby realizing remote control.
[0025] See attached Figure 1 A first fuse 8 is connected in series to the power supply circuit of the control end of the starter 3. The first fuse 8 plays an overcurrent protection role.
