DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The specific implementation scheme is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In this embodiment, "front", "back", "up" and "down" are Figure 1 The status shown on the middle stick is a reference. Figure 1 The left and right and up and down directions on the middle paper correspond to the front and back and up and down directions of the stick respectively. Figure 2The up and down directions on the middle paper correspond to the left and right directions of the boom.

[0031] A bucket arm used for excavators. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the boom comprises two parallel boom webs 10 spaced apart from each other. From front to back, the two boom webs 10 are provided with attachment pivot holes 11, rocker pivot holes 12, bucket cylinder pivot holes 13, and boom pivot holes 14. A bucket cylinder mounting space 18 is provided between the two boom webs 10 to accommodate and allow the bucket cylinder to swing. Web connectors are provided between the two boom webs 10, both in front of and behind the bucket cylinder mounting space 18. The left and right ends of the web connectors are welded to the two boom webs 10, respectively.

[0032] The web connectors include a front web connector and a rear web connector, which connect the two boom webs 10 at the front and rear of each boom web 10, respectively, to form a rigid body. The front and / or rear web connectors can be connecting tubes with left and right ends welded to the two boom webs. The connecting tubes are coaxially arranged with corresponding pivot holes 11 and boom pivot holes 14 on the two boom webs.

[0033] like Figure 2 Figure 3 As shown, the front web connector includes a front connecting tube 31 and a reinforcing rib 32. The front connecting tube 31 is coaxially arranged with the attachment pivot hole 11, and its ends are welded to the two boom webs 10. The reinforcing rib 32 is welded to both the front connecting tube 31 and the two boom webs 10 to strengthen the connection between the front connecting tube 31 and the boom webs 10. The front connecting tube 31 not only connects the two boom webs 10 but also serves as a pin sleeve for mounting the bushing of the first pivot pin (not shown) of the attachment.

[0034] The rear web connector includes a rear connecting tube 41, which is coaxially arranged with the boom pivot hole 14 and welded to the two boom webs 10 at both ends. The rear connecting tube 41 not only connects the two boom webs 10 but also acts as a pin sleeve for mounting the bushing of the boom pivot pin 63.

[0035] In other embodiments, the front and rear web connectors may also adopt other structural forms. For example, the web connectors may be composed of a single annular bent plate or a plurality of bent plates spliced ​​end to end to form an annular bent plate. The axial ends of the annular bent plate are welded to the two boom webs 10 and surround the attachment pivot holes 11 and the corresponding pivot holes in the boom pivot holes 14. The annular bent plate and the two boom webs form a box-shaped structure at the front or rear of the boom webs to strengthen the connection strength between the two boom webs.

[0036] Optionally, a rear upper connecting plate 51 is provided between the two boom webs 10 , or a rear lower connecting plate 52 is provided, or both the rear upper connecting plate 51 and the rear lower connecting plate 52 are provided.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the rear upper connecting plate 51 is located above the bucket cylinder pivot hole 13 and its left and right ends are correspondingly welded to the two dipper arm webs 10. Its rear end extends above the boom pivot hole 14, and its front end extends to the front and upper part of the bucket cylinder pivot hole 13. The rear lower connecting plate 52 is located below the bucket cylinder pivot hole 13 and its left and right ends are correspondingly welded to the two dipper arm webs 10. Its rear end extends below the boom pivot hole 14, and its front end extends to the front and lower part of the bucket cylinder pivot hole 13.

[0038] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the boom web 10 is a flat box-shaped structure, which is welded by an inner plate 16, an outer plate 15 and a wing plate 17. The boom web of the box-shaped structure can reduce the amount of material while meeting the strength requirements.

[0039] Optionally, the arm cylinder's front articulated base 20 is positioned below the two arm webs 10. This base 20 connects to the arm cylinder 61. Positioned below the two arm webs 10 and welded thereto, the base 20 connects the two arm webs 10, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the arm. Positioning the front articulated base 20 below the arm webs 10 and positioning the arm cylinder 61 below the arm 72 and boom 60 effectively protects the arm from damage during excavator operation.

[0040] This embodiment further provides an excavator, the working device of which includes the aforementioned boom 72 .

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the working device of the excavator includes attachments, a bucket arm 72, a boom 60, a boom cylinder, a bucket arm cylinder 61, a bucket cylinder 62, a rocker assembly, etc.

[0042] The rear end of the boom 60 is pivotally connected to a slewing platform (not shown) via a pin. The ends of the boom cylinder are rotatably connected to the boom 60 and the slewing platform via corresponding pins. The arm 72 is rotatably connected to the front end of the boom 60 via a boom pivot pin 63 located in the boom pivot hole 14. An attachment (not shown) is rotatably connected to the front end of the arm 72 via a first attachment pivot pin (not shown) located in the attachment pivot hole 11. The attachment can be a bucket or other work implement, such as a clamp or a breaker hammer.

[0043] The rocker assembly includes a rocker 66 and a push rod 67. The lower end of the rocker 66 is positioned between the two bucket arm webs 10 and is pivotally connected to the bucket arm 72 via a lower rocker pin 68 located in the rocker pivot hole 12. The upper end of the rocker 66 is pivotally connected to the rear end of the push rod 67 via an upper rocker pin 70. A second attachment pivot pin hole 71 is provided at the front end of the push rod 67 for mounting a second attachment pivot pin (not shown). The push rod 67 is pivotally connected to the attachment via the second attachment pivot pin. When the bucket cylinder 62 extends or retracts, the rocker assembly propels the attachment to swing about the first attachment pivot pin at the front end of the bucket arm.

[0044] The bucket cylinder 62 is arranged in the bucket cylinder installation space 18 on the webs of the two bucket arms. Its rear end is rotatably connected to the bucket arm 72 via the bucket cylinder rear end pin 64 arranged in the bucket cylinder pivot hole 13, and its front end is rotatably connected to the rocker arm 66 via the bucket cylinder front end pin 69. The bucket cylinder front end pin 69 can be the same pin as the rocker arm upper end pin 70, that is, the bucket cylinder 62 and the push rod 67 are both connected to the rocker arm via the rocker arm upper end pin 70. Figure 5 In the illustrated excavator working device, the bucket cylinder front pin 69 is positioned between the rocker arm lower pin 68 and the rocker arm upper pin 70. This structure further lowers the front end of the bucket cylinder 62, providing better protection and making it less susceptible to collisions during excavator operation.

[0045] The front end of the arm cylinder 62 is rotatably connected to the front arm cylinder articulation seat 20 on the lower side of the arm 72 via the front arm cylinder pin 65, and the rear end is rotatably connected to the rear arm cylinder articulation seat provided on the lower side of the boom 60. By positioning the front arm cylinder articulation seat 20 below the arm 72, the overall length of the arm 62 is shortened while maintaining the same arm rotation radius, thereby reducing the height required for operation.

[0046] In this embodiment, the bucket cylinder 62 is basically located inside the boom 72. Since the boom cylinder 72 is on the lower side of the boom, when the excavator operates in a confined space and the boom is raised, the boom cylinder 61 and the bucket cylinder 62 will not collide with obstacles above, thereby avoiding damage to the cylinders due to collision.
