The existing excavator quick connector has no self-locking function after connection, and a safety pin needs to be inserted to prevent the lock from falling off accidentally, which increases the workload and poses safety risks.

Method used

The pure mechanical linkage method is adopted. When the hydraulic cylinder fails, the tightening mechanism remains in working state to achieve the self-locking function. The specific implementation method is to pull the connecting rod through the connecting sleeve two, and the connecting rod drives the connecting rod sliding shaft to slide in the slide groove on the side bottom plate, and drives the locking tongue plate to extend out of the clamping equipment, and use the "dead point effect" of the connecting rod transmission to achieve irreversible self-locking.

Benefits of technology

It solves the shortcomings of the excavator who needs to get off the vehicle to insert a safety pin, ensures the reliability and safety of the locking mechanism, and improves work efficiency and fluency.
