DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The specific implementation of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and is not used to limit the present application.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a vehicle, the rotary platform 1 of which is divided into:

[0036] High voltage area 2, located behind the slewing center, is equipped with a device to provide electrical energy;

[0037] The hydraulic source area 3, located to the right rear of the center of rotation, is equipped with a device for providing pressure energy;

[0038] The front area 4 , located in front of the rotation center, is equipped with a control valve group 41 and a rotation motor 42 .

[0039] In this application, the straight line passing through the slewing center is used as a reference, and the direction facing the cab 7 of the vehicle or the side where the boom section is installed is the front. The slewing platform 1 is used as a frame for the vehicle to install various parts. In the top view, the slewing platform 1 is divided into a high-voltage area 2 and a hydraulic source area 3 according to electricity and hydraulics to achieve oil-electricity separation. The high-voltage area 2 will centrally arrange the devices that provide electrical energy, reduce the number of cables and interfaces, and make the power system more reliable and safe. At the same time, the devices that provide electrical energy are heavy and evenly distributed, such as the power battery pack 21, which is arranged behind the slewing center and can replace the traditional counterweight components, and make the slewing platform 1 more balanced and stable. The hydraulic source area 3 will centrally arrange the devices that provide pressure energy, reduce the number of pipes and interfaces, and make the hydraulic system assembly relationship simple and convenient for maintenance. The front area 4 will centrally arrange the control valve group 41 and the slewing motor 42, which is conducive to the troubleshooting of the hydraulic system.

[0040] Specifically, the high voltage area 2 is equipped with a power battery pack 21, a power battery controller 22 and a main controller 23; the power battery pack 21 is fastened to the rotary platform 1, and the power battery controller 22 and the main controller 23 are respectively stacked on the power battery pack 21. The power battery pack 21 stores electric energy in the form of high voltage to drive the movements of various components of the mini electric excavator; the power battery controller 22 is used to control the release and charging of electric energy of the power battery pack 21; and the main controller 23 is used to control the movements of various components of the electric excavator.

[0041] In some embodiments, the power battery pack 21 is arranged behind the center of rotation to the left to reduce load eccentricity. The power battery pack 21 is fastened to the bottom plate of the rotating platform 1 with bolts. A plurality of slender reinforcing ribs 11 are welded on the bottom plate to enhance the strength of the bottom plate and provide multi-point and multi-faceted support for the power battery pack 21 to increase the stability of the power battery pack 21. The power battery controller 22 is a four-in-one controller to reduce the number of electrical components and reduce the difficulty of layout in the high-voltage area 2.

[0042] Specifically, the hydraulic source area 3 is configured with a hydraulic oil tank 31, an oil pump 32, a motor 33 and a radiator 34; the hydraulic oil tank 31, the oil pump 32, and the motor 33 are fastened on the rotating platform 1 in sequence from front to back, and the radiator 34 is stacked above the motor 33; the hydraulic oil tank 31, the oil pump 32, the radiator 34, the control valve group 41 and the rotary motor 42 are interconnected by pipelines to form a hydraulic transmission circuit.

[0043] In the present application, the power battery pack 21 supplies power to the motor 33 through the power battery controller 22, and the motor 33 drives the oil pump 32 to draw hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank 31. The hydraulic oil passes through the control valve group 41, and after adjusting the direction, flow, pressure, etc., it drives the rotary motor 42 to rotate and other actuators to move, so as to realize the movement of various components of the electric excavator. The radiator 34 is used to cool the hydraulic oil.

[0044] In some embodiments, the hydraulic oil tank 31, the oil pump 32 and the motor 33 are arranged side by side on the right side of the power battery pack 21, which is conducive to balancing the load on the left and right sides of the rotary platform 1. The oil pump 32 can be connected to the output shaft of the motor 33 through a coupling. The motor 33 is fastened to the bottom plate of the rotary platform 1 with bolts, and the support point is at a low position, which is conducive to keeping the motor 33 stable when working.

[0045] like Figure 5As shown, further, the radiator 34 is stacked on the motor 33 using a bracket, and the radiator 34 is provided with a fan, and the action area 341 of the fan is higher than the power battery pack 21. The radiator 34 is arranged to be elevated using a bracket, and driven by the fan, the air can freely pass through the left and right sides of the vehicle, so that the radiator 34 has better heat dissipation performance; at the same time, the limited space in the hydraulic source area 3 is fully utilized from a three-dimensional perspective.

[0046] In some embodiments, the radiator 34 is mounted on the top of the bracket, and the bottom of the bracket is fastened to the bottom plate of the rotary platform 1 with bolts. By removing the bracket, the radiator 34 can be removed as a whole, which is convenient for maintenance of the motor 33 and the oil pump 32 below.

The box body 55 is used to protect the high-voltage charging port 51 and the water tank 52 .

[0052] Specifically, the upper vehicle further includes a main frame 6 and a cab 7 ; the main frame 6 is erected above the high-pressure area 2 , with its bottom fastened to the rotary platform 1 , and the cab 7 is disposed on its top. The main frame 6 is used to support the cab 7 .

[0053] In some embodiments, the high-voltage charging port 51 and the water tank 52 are arranged in parallel behind the seat 72 of the cab 7, fastened to the rear platform of the main frame 6, and covered by a box 55. The access door 551 on the box 55 is opened to perform charging and adding coolant. The water pump 53 and the distribution box 54 are fastened to the main frame 6, and are located on one side of the fan's action area 341.

[0055] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, specifically, the upper vehicle further includes a cover 8 disposed on the surface of the rotary platform 1 or the surface of the main frame 6, and the cover 8 includes one or more of a left cover 81, a right front cover 82, a right rear cover 83, a tail cover 84, a partition 85, and a floor 86. The cover 8 can protect the components in the high-pressure area 2, the hydraulic source area 3, the front area 4, and the tail area.

[0056] In some embodiments, the partition 85 is located in front of the main frame 6, covering the front of the high-voltage area 2.
