[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0018] Embodiment 1:

[0019] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a heating device for an electric excavator cab, which adds an electric heating device on the basis of an existing refrigeration device, and controls the switching of the two through a contactor 1. The refrigeration device includes a compressor circuit, a compressor 4, and an air-conditioning fan 8. The electric heating device includes an isolation transformer 3, a rectifier 5, a capacitor 6, and an electric heater 7.

[0020] The contactor 1 includes a normally closed switch, a first normally open switch, a second normally open switch, and a switching coil. The gate rods of the normally closed switch, the first normally open switch, and the second normally open switch are connected and can be attracted by the magnetic force generated by the switching coil. The contactor realizes the interlocking of the heating device and the cooling device to prevent both from being turned on at the same time.

[0021] The normally closed switch is connected to the compressor circuit;

[0022] The C contact of the first normally open switch is electrically connected to the live wire of the AC power source B1;

[0023] The A contact of the second normally open switch is electrically connected to the neutral line of the AC power source B1;

[0024] The M contact and N contact of the switching coil are electrically connected to the ground wire and the control power supply B2 respectively. A warm air switch 2 is arranged between the control power supply B2 and the N contact. When the warm air switch 2 is closed, the switching coil is turned on, the normally closed switch moves down and is interrupted, and the first normally open switch and the second normally open switch move down and are turned on.

[0025] The isolation transformer 3 includes a primary coil 3.1 and a secondary coil 3.2. The number of turns of the primary coil 3.1 is greater than that of the secondary coil 3.2. The isolation transformer 3 plays a voltage-reducing role, so that the voltage of the AC power supply B1 is reduced to the working voltage of the electric heater 7.

[0026] The M contact of the primary coil 3.1 is electrically connected to the D contact of the first normally open switch;

[0027] The N contact of the primary coil 3 . 1 is electrically connected to the B contact of the second normally open switch.

[0028] The rectifier 5 includes four diodes, which are connected in sequence in a group of two. The two groups are connected at the head and tail. A contact is set between every two diodes, with a total of four contacts. The contacts in the group are R contacts and T contacts, which serve as input contacts. The contacts between the groups are Q contacts and S contacts, which serve as output contacts. The contact at the head intersection is the positive electrode. Figure 1 The S contact is the head intersection point, and the Q contact is the tail intersection point;

[0029] The R contact of the rectifier 5 is electrically connected to the O contact of the secondary coil 3.2;

[0030] The T contact of the rectifier 5 is electrically connected to the P contact of the secondary coil 3 . 2 .

[0031] The electric heater 7 is arranged at the air outlet of the air conditioner fan 8, and such arrangement does not require changing the structure of the air conditioner itself, and only requires adding an additional heater;

[0032] The U contact of the electric heater 7 is electrically connected to the S contact of the rectifier 5, and the V contact of the electric heater 7 is electrically connected to the Q contact of the rectifier 5. The rectifier 5 converts the AC power into pulsating DC power and supplies it to the electric heater 7 for heating.

[0033] The capacitor 6 is connected in parallel with the electric heater 7 , and the capacitor 6 can smooth the pulsation curve of the pulsating direct current and improve the efficiency of the rectifier 5 .

[0034] Specifically, a first fuse 9 is provided on the live wire of the AC power source B1, and a second fuse 10 is provided between the C contact of the secondary coil 3.2 and the R contact of the rectifier 5 as overload protection.

[0035] Specifically, the output power of the isolation transformer 5 is greater than 1.2 times the power of the electric heater 7 to prevent the isolation transformer from overheating; at the same time, the isolation transformer 5 is set outside the excavator cab, and the heating is turned on only under cold conditions, so as to use the cold environment to cool the isolation transformer 5 and further prevent the isolation transformer 5 from overheating.

[0036] Specifically, the output voltage of the rectifier 5, ie, the voltage between the contact Q and the contact S, is less than 36V.

[0037] Specifically, the outer dimensions of the electric heater 7 match the dimensions of the air outlet of the air-conditioning fan 8, so that the wind force of the air-conditioning fan can be optimally utilized.

[0038] It should be noted that the refrigeration device is a component of the electric excavator itself, so it will not be described in detail. Its working method and internal structure are known to those skilled in the art.

[0039] Embodiment 2:

[0040] Based on Example 1, this example provides a working process of a heating device for an electric excavator cab:

[0041] When the heater switch 2 is closed, the control power supply B2 of the excavator reaches the switching coil of the contactor 1 through the heater switch. Current flows through the switching coil, the first normally open switch and the second normally open switch of the contactor 1 are closed and turned on, and the normally closed switch is opened and interrupted, disconnecting the connection between the compressor 4 and the compressor circuit, thereby realizing the interlocking of the heating function and the cooling function.

[0042] The AC power supply B1 of the excavator passes through the first fuse 9, the first normally open switch, the second normally open switch, and enters the primary coil 3.1 of the isolation transformer 3. After being stepped down in the secondary coil 3.2, it passes through the second fuse 10, and is rectified into pulsating direct current in the rectifier 5. It is then filtered by the capacitor 6 to become a stable direct current. Current passes through the electric heater 7 to perform the heating function, and hot air is blown out through the air-conditioning fan 8 of the excavator to realize the heating function of the cab in winter.

[0043] All components and connection methods of components not discussed in this application belong to the known technologies in this technical field and can be directly applied without further explanation.
