Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 It is illustrated that the hydraulic quick-change connector in embodiment 1 includes a fixed support frame 1, the fixed support frame 1 includes two support side plates 101, a connecting plate 102, a connecting seat 103 and pin holes 104, the two support side plates 101 are arranged in parallel and symmetrically from front to back, the top of the two support side plates 101 is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 102, the bottom of the two support side plates 101 is fixedly connected with the connecting seat 103, the left side of the two support side plates 101 is provided with two pin holes 104, pin shaft one 2 and pin shaft two 3 are matched and inserted into the two pin holes 104 respectively, the front end of pin shaft one 2 and pin shaft two 3 is matched and sleeved with the pin sleeve 4, the inside of the fixed support frame 1 is fixedly connected with the connecting frame 5, the connecting frame 5 is provided with the oil cylinder 6, the bottom of the oil cylinder 6 is hinged to the connecting seat 103, the connecting seat 103 is matched and inserted with the hinge pin 7, the connecting seat 103 is limitingly connected with the oil cylinder 6 through the hinge pin 7, the bottom of the connecting frame 5 is matched and fixedly connected with the fixed caliper 8, the top of the connecting frame 5 is matched and provided with the quick-change caliper 9, the rear side of the quick-change caliper 9 is matched and connected with the locking pin 10, the locking pin 10 is hinged to the top end of the output shaft of the oil cylinder 6;

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Pin shaft one 2 in the illustration is used for detachable connection with the I-shaped frame on the excavator, pin shaft two 3 is used for detachable connection with the Malan head on the excavator;

[0024] In this embodiment, the operator operates the cylinder 6 through the hydraulic control device to realize the opening and closing action of the quick-change caliper 9. When the cylinder 6 pushes the locking pin 10, the quick-change caliper 9 will open, allowing the excavator's working accessories such as buckets, ripper, etc. to be quickly connected or disconnected. When the locking pin 10 retracts, the quick-change caliper 9 will tightly clamp the pin shaft 1 2 or the pin shaft 2 3 to ensure the stable connection of the working accessories. In addition, the coordinated use of the fixed caliper 8 and the quick-change caliper 9 further enhances the reliability of the connection and reduces the risk of accidents caused by improper operation. When the excavator is operating, the pivot pin 11 set at the top of the fixed support frame 1 can be connected to the connecting arm of the excavator to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire quick-change joint device.

[0025] It should be noted that when the excavator is operating, the connection between the I-frame and the axle and the quick-change head is achieved through the pin 1 2 and the pin 2 3 to achieve stable force transmission. By fixing the pin hole 104 on the support frame 1 corresponding to the pin hole on the I-frame, the pin 1 2 and the pin 2 3 are passed through these holes and fixed. Through the support of the pin 1 2 and the pin 2 3, the quick-change head can be firmly connected to the I-frame and the axle, and it is ensured that the quick-change head can be flexibly operated and will not loosen or fall off. The hydraulic control realizes the rapid replacement of the excavator working accessories, which greatly improves the working efficiency and reduces the labor cost. The mechanized operation reduces the operating risk and ensures the safety of the operation.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Example 2 is described. This embodiment further illustrates Example 1. In the figure, the pin sleeve 4 is embedded in the pin hole 104, and the front ends of the pin shaft 1 2 and the pin shaft 2 3 are fixedly connected to the fixed support frame 1 by the pin sleeve 4.

[0028] Furthermore, the quick-change caliper 9 is transmission-connected to the output end of the oil cylinder 6 via a locking pin 10, and both the fixed caliper 8 and the quick-change caliper 9 are arranged on the right side of the fixed support frame 1;

[0029] In this embodiment, the stability of pin shaft 1 2 and pin shaft 2 3 in the quick-change joint is ensured by the cooperation between the front ends of pin shaft 1 2 and pin shaft 2 3 and the pin sleeve 4. By using the pin sleeve 4, not only the reliability of the connection is improved, but also the wear problem caused by long-term use is reduced. In addition, the quick-change caliper 9 and the output end of the cylinder 6 are connected by a transmission of the locking pin 10, so that the operator can realize the opening and closing action of the quick-change caliper 9 through simple hydraulic control, thereby quickly replacing the working accessories of the excavator.

[0030] It should be noted that the quick-change caliper 9 can be quickly opened or tightly clamped by the oil cylinder 6, so that the working accessories of the excavator such as the bucket and the ripper can be quickly connected or disconnected, which greatly improves the working efficiency.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 Example 3 is described. This embodiment further illustrates Example 2. In the figure, the fixed caliper 8 and the quick-change caliper 9 are detachably connected to the working attachment of the excavator through the transmission of the oil cylinder 6.

[0033] Furthermore, a pivot pin 11 for connecting to the excavator connecting arm is matched and inserted on the top of the fixed support frame 1, and a safety pin 12 is also matched and inserted on the top of the fixed support frame 1;

[0034] In this embodiment, the pivot pin 11 plays a connecting role by being inserted between the fixed support frame 1 and other mechanical parts on the excavator, such as the connecting arm, the device bracket, etc., to connect the two parts together. The pivot pin 11 can serve as the center point of rotation, so that the quick-change head can rotate flexibly during operation, and the safety pin 12 is used to ensure the safe connection between the quick-change head and the connecting part, preventing the quick-change head from accidentally falling off or loosening during operation, thereby ensuring the operational safety and stability of the equipment.

[0035] It should be noted that the working attachments of the excavator can be buckets, breaker hammers, etc., which can be firmly connected to the quick-change head and support quick replacement. When the operator selects an attachment and aligns it with the quick-change head, the locking mechanism between the quick-change caliper 9 and the fixed caliper 8 will be activated. Under the action of the cylinder 6, the quick-change caliper 9 will firmly lock the attachment to the fixed caliper 8 part of the quick-change head to ensure that there is no looseness between the attachment and the quick-change head. When the attachment needs to be replaced and released, it is quickly released through the cylinder 6, and the quick-change caliper 9 will automatically open to separate the fixed caliper 8 from the attachment, thereby allowing the operator to replace different attachments for use.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
