Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of excavators, in particular to a novel double-arm structure of an excavator. Background Art

[0002] Excavators, as a crucial piece of engineering machinery in current construction and earthwork operations, have long been a focus of engineering and technical personnel on improving their functionality and performance. Traditional excavators typically consist of a single digging arm, whose primary function is to excavate and move materials such as soil and rocks. While this type of excavator demonstrates high efficiency for simple excavation and handling tasks, the increasing complexity of construction projects has placed higher demands on excavator performance.

[0003] In actual operations, excavators are often required to perform increasingly diverse and complex tasks, such as precisely grasping materials in confined spaces, handling materials of specific shapes and sizes, and stacking and sorting materials under specific conditions. These tasks challenge the excavator's operational flexibility, precision, and versatility. Existing single-arm excavators, due to structural limitations, are often unable to effectively complete these complex tasks, thus impacting operational efficiency and increasing operating costs.

[0004] Therefore, in order to adapt to the diverse needs of modern engineering construction, improve the operating efficiency and flexibility of excavators, and reduce operating costs, the industry urgently needs to develop a new type of excavator double-arm structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies existing in the above technologies, the utility model provides a novel excavator double-arm structure.

[0007] The rotating arm includes a telescopic arm section and a rotating disk, and the rotating disk is rotatably arranged on the base of the excavator through a rotating drive device;

[0008] The upper end surface of the rotating disk is connected to the base, and the base extends laterally to form a mounting position for the grab arm;

[0009] The rotating arm includes a grab arm section and a grab hand. The grab hand includes a first clamping jaw and a second clamping jaw connected to a pin shaft. The first clamping jaw is integrally connected to two semicircular parts, and the two semicircular parts are arranged at intervals.

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] Embodiment 1;

[0020] Figure 1 and Figure 3 The new excavator double-arm structure shown includes a rotating arm and a grabbing arm; the rotating arm is connected to the excavator base and has a rotating function and can rotate 360 ​​degrees on the excavator base; the grabbing arm is connected to the base of the rotating arm and has telescopic and grabbing functions;

[0021] The rotating arm includes a rotating disk 1, which is rotatably arranged on the base 2 of the excavator. Specifically, the rotating disk 1 is connected to the base 2 through a rotating bearing 3, and the rotating bearing 3 is matched and installed in the bracket on the base 2. It should be understood that the bracket is designed with a position for matching and installing the rotating bearing to ensure that the rotating disk 1 can rotate around a fixed central axis. The rotating disk 1 and the bearing 3 are fixed by fasteners such as bolts, nuts, etc., and are firmly fixed in the bracket on the base 2 by fasteners to ensure that the rotating disk 1 does not produce displacement during rotation. One or more rotating drive devices, such as a hydraulic motor or a torsion motor, are installed on the rotating disk 1. The hydraulic motor is connected to the rotating disk 1 through a shaft. The hydraulic motor can be installed on the chassis of the vehicle body carrying the rotating arm, and the shaft passes through the rotating bearing 3, so that the rotation of the motor can directly drive the rotating disk 1 to rotate. Of course, the rotating disk is not limited to the above-mentioned rotation method, and it can also be achieved by using the excavator slewing device in the prior art. The important thing is to achieve the in-situ rotation of the rotating disk 1.

[0022] The upper end surface of the rotating disk 1 is connected to the base 4. The rotating arm of the excavator includes a telescopic arm section, which is composed of at least two sections. In this embodiment, the telescopic arm section consists of a rear arm 5, a middle arm 6, and a front arm 7. The three sections are telescopic to adjust the length of the grab arm. The rear arm, middle arm, and forearm are all made of high-strength steel. The rear arm 5 and the middle arm 6, as well as the middle arm 6 and the forearm 7, are hinged to each other, and the telescopic movement between the two adjacent arm sections is driven by hydraulic cylinder 2 8 between the middle arm 6 and the forearm 7. The rear arm 5 is hinged to the base 4 and is driven to telescopically move by hydraulic cylinder 1 9. The front section of the forearm 7 is hinged to the bucket 10 and is driven to telescopically move by hydraulic cylinder 3 11. It should be noted that the above-mentioned hydraulic cylinder can be single-acting or double-acting, responsible for pushing and pulling the arm section or bucket. The hydraulic cylinder is connected to a drive system consisting of a hydraulic pump, a control valve, an oil cylinder, etc., which is used to control the movement of the rotating arm and the bucket. The above-mentioned control process is based on the control principle of the prior art.

[0023] The base 4 extends laterally to form a mounting position for the grab arm. The grab arm section of the grab arm includes an upper arm 13 and a lower arm 14. The upper arm 13 and the lower arm 14 are hinged to each other to allow them to rotate and extend relative to each other. The two are driven by a hydraulic cylinder 15, and the connecting part of the upper arm 14 is connected to the interface of the base 4 by bolts.

[0024] The grab arm also includes a grab 16. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 15 is fixed to the upper arm, and the other end is connected to the lower arm. The pressure difference provided by the hydraulic system drives the extension and contraction of the grab arm section. The grab 16 is connected to the end of the lower arm 7 and is connected to the main structure of the grab arm through a hydraulic linkage device. The grab 16 includes Figure 2 As shown, the first jaw 18 and the second jaw 19 are connected to the pin shaft 17. The first jaw 18 has two semicircular parts integrally connected to it, and the two semicircular parts are arranged at intervals. The second jaw 19 has three semicircular parts integrally connected to it, and the three semicircular parts are arranged at intervals. The pin shaft 17 is installed at the end of the arm 7. The first jaw 18 is fixedly mounted on the pin shaft 17. The second jaw 19 is hinged on the pin shaft 17. One end of the second jaw 19 forms a hinge point for connecting the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder and the hinge point with the second jaw 19 are both located in the hollow channel formed on the arm 7. The telescopic action of the hydraulic cylinder is transmitted to the second jaw 19 through mechanical linkage. When the second jaw 19 merges with the first jaw 18 around the pin shaft 17, the semicircular parts of the first jaw 18 and the second jaw 19 intersect with each other.

[0025] Embodiment 2;

[0026] On the basis of the first embodiment, two grab arms can be provided on the mounting position of the grab arm extending laterally from the base to cope with more complicated working conditions such as emergency rescue.

[0027] During operation, the rotating disc of the utility model is mounted on the excavator base and connected to the base via a rotating bearing, allowing the rotating disc to rotate about a fixed central axis. The rotating disc's design ensures no displacement during rotation, thus ensuring smooth and accurate rotation. The rotating arm consists of a rear arm, a middle arm, and a lower arm, which are hingedly connected and extended and retracted by a hydraulic cylinder. This design allows the length of the grab arm to be adjusted to suit different requirements. The grab arm comprises a main arm and a lower arm, which are hingedly connected to each other to allow relative rotation and extension. The gripper comprises a first jaw and a second jaw, which are hinged to the end of the lower arm via a pin. The first jaw has two semicircular portions, and the second jaw has three semicircular portions. One end of the second jaw forms a hinge point for connecting to a hydraulic cylinder located in a hollow channel in the lower arm. The extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder is transmitted to the second jaw through a mechanical linkage, causing it to rotate about the pin and merge with the first jaw. When the second jaw rotates about the pin and merges with the first jaw, the semicircular portions of the two jaws intersect, forming a complete circular structure, thereby achieving the function of grasping objects. The entire system works in a coordinated manner. The operator can manipulate these hydraulic cylinders through the control device to realize the rotation of the rotating arm, the extension and retraction of the telescopic arm section, and the opening and closing of the gripper, thereby completing various excavation and grabbing tasks.

[0028] In summary, the reason why the utility model can provide higher operational flexibility and enable the excavator to be more adaptable to different working environments and task requirements is mainly attributed to the following aspects:

[0029] Double-arm structure design:

[0030] The addition of a dual-arm structure (rotating arm and grappling arm) provides the excavator with more degrees of freedom and operating options. The rotating arm can rotate 360 ​​degrees, while the grappling arm can extend and grab, allowing the excavator to operate flexibly in multiple directions.

[0031] Independent control of the rotating arm and the gripping arm:

[0032] Since the rotating arm and the grab arm can be controlled independently, the operator can operate them individually or in conjunction with each other as needed. This independent control mechanism improves the excavator's adaptability to complex environments.

[0033] The utility model improves the overall operating performance of the excavator, not only improves the operating efficiency, but also ensures the safety and convenience during the operation, so that the excavator can better adapt to various different working environments and task requirements.

[0034] The above-mentioned implementation manner is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
