Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] The counterweight is a component of a hydraulic excavator, and its function is to keep the excavator balanced during operation and reduce the sway of the excavator during operation. Generally, for a certain model of excavator, the position and external dimensions of the counterweight are fixed. Therefore, the weight of the counterweight becomes the most important characteristic index to be controlled during the production process of the counterweight. Most excavator counterweights are made by filling a filling material into a counterweight housing welded by metal plates. The filling material is poured into the box through the upper opening of the counterweight housing. By adjusting the mixing ratio of each filling material, the specific gravity of the filling mixture is changed, so that the weight of the counterweight meets the requirements.
[0003] In the prior art, an excavator counterweight structure with the application number 202323130885.0 includes a counterweight housing. A storage groove is opened inside the counterweight housing. A plurality of counterweight blocks are stacked and placed inside the storage groove. A positioning column is installed inside the storage groove. Positioning holes are opened at both ends of the counterweight block, and the positioning holes are slidably arranged with the positioning column. A sealing cover is hinged to the upper end of the storage groove through a hinge. Installation grooves are opened at both ends of the counterweight housing, and installation holes are arranged inside the installation grooves. By stacking and placing a plurality of counterweight blocks inside the storage groove of the counterweight housing, the weight of the counterweight structure can be adjusted by controlling the number of counterweight blocks loaded into the counterweight housing, so as to meet the use and processing of counterweights with different weights. Moreover, the counterweight blocks are divided into multiple small blocks, so that the disassembly and assembly of the counterweight blocks are convenient and fast, and it is also convenient for maintenance.
[0004] In the prior art, the weight of the counterweight structure is adjusted by controlling the number of counterweight blocks loaded into the counterweight housing. To a certain extent, the center of gravity of the counterweight blocks can be adjusted. However, the center of gravity of the counterweight blocks cannot be accurately positioned, and the overall weight of the counterweight blocks cannot be kept consistent. Summary of the Utility Model
