Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 The utility model provides an embodiment: an excavator counterweight bracket assembly, including a body 1, the body 1 is the excavator body, which is a prior art and can be implemented by technicians in this field. Since it is a prior art, it will not be described in detail in this case. The front surface of the body 1 is fixedly connected to a support plate 2, the support plate 2 is a counterweight bracket, the counterweight is installed on the support plate 2, and a mounting hole is opened on the support plate 2, which corresponds to the mounting hole on the counterweight, so as to facilitate the fixation of the counterweight. A positioning component is provided inside the support plate 2, which facilitates the positioning of the counterweight during installation. A buffer component is provided on the upper surface of the support plate 2, which can provide buffering for the counterweight when the counterweight is installed to avoid collision.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2The positioning component includes an electric telescopic rod 31. The electric telescopic rod 31 is a prior art and can be implemented by technicians in this field. Since it is a prior art, it will not be described in detail in this case. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 31 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 32. Starting the electric telescopic rod 31 can drive the positioning plate 32 to move in the front and rear directions. A positioning groove 301 is provided on the upper surface of the positioning plate 32. A slide plate 33 is penetrated and slidably connected to the left surface of the support plate 2. A guide plate 35 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the slide plate 33. The slide plate 33 and the guide plate 35 slide horizontally, and the two will move synchronously. The right end of the lower surface of the slide plate 33 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 34. When the positioning rod 34 moves, it will drive the slide plate 33 to move synchronously.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The buffer assembly includes a slider 42, the upper surface of the slider 42 is fixedly connected to the top block 41, the lower surface of the slider 42 is fixedly connected to the sealing gasket 43, the surface of the sealing gasket 43 is made of rubber material, the upper surface of the sealing gasket 43 is provided with a circular hole 401, the aperture of the circular hole 401 is small, which will limit the flow rate of the fluid, the lower surface of the sealing gasket 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the compression spring 44, and the inner wall of the support plate 2 is provided with a cavity 402.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 The electric telescopic rod 31 is arranged on the front surface of the support plate 2, and the support plate 2 provides support for the electric telescopic rod 31. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 31 passes through the front surface of the support plate 2. The positioning plate 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 2 and slides in the front and back directions. The positioning groove 301 is opened in an inclined shape, with the left end at the rear and the right end at the front. The positioning rod 34 is set to a columnar shape. The positioning rod 34 slides on the inner wall of the positioning groove 301. The outer wall of the positioning rod 34 fits the inner wall of the positioning groove 301. When the positioning plate 32 moves, it will drive the positioning groove 301 to move. When the positioning groove 301 moves, it will squeeze the positioning rod 34, and then drive the positioning rod 34 to move horizontally. There are two groups of positioning rods 34, slides 33, and guide plates 35, and two groups of positioning grooves 301 are opened. The two groups of positioning rods 34, slides 33, guide plates 35, and positioning grooves 301 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with respect to the center line of the support plate 2. The guide plates 35 on both sides will move together or open synchronously. When the guide plates 35 on both sides move together to the closest point, the counterweight will contact the surface of the guide plate 35, but it is not in a tightly clamped state, and the counterweight can still be pushed.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3The sealing gasket 43 is connected to the inner wall of the cavity 402 and can keep sealing. The cavity 402 is filled with hydraulic oil, and the hydraulic oil can pass through the round hole 401, but the flow rate is limited due to the small diameter of the round hole 401. The cavity 402 is composed of two groups of cylindrical grooves. The diameter of the upper cylindrical groove is smaller, and the sealing gasket 43 is located in the lower cylindrical groove with a larger diameter. The sliding block 42 penetrates and is slidingly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 2 and slides longitudally. The top block 41 is inserted into the upper surface of the support plate 2, and the upper surface of the top block 41 is flush with the upper surface of the support plate 2 after the insertion is completed. One end of the compression spring 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall at the bottom end of the cavity 402. When the sealing gasket 43 moves downward, the compression spring 44 is compressed to generate a reaction force.
[0036] Working principle: When the device is used, first, the machine body 1 is stopped at a specified position, then the counterweight is lifted by the row of cranes and moved between the two guide plates 35, and then the positioning plate 32 is moved backward by starting the electric telescopic rod 31. The positioning plate 32 moving backward will drive the positioning groove 301 to move backward, which will press the positioning rod 34. The positioning rods 34 on both sides will move towards the middle of the support plate 2 and will drive the sliding plate 33 and the guide plate 35 to move synchronously. The guide plates 35 on both sides will clamp and position the counterweight, which can align the mounting points on the counterweight with the mounting points on the support plate 2.
[0037] Then the staff pushes the counterweight backward to align the mounting points on the counterweight with the mounting points on the support plate 2. After the mounting points are aligned, the row of cranes can lower the counterweight. When the counterweight moves downward, it will press the top block 41, which will in turn drive the sliding block 42 and the sealing gasket 43 to move downward. The sealing gasket 43 moving downward will press the hydraulic oil in the cavity 402 and will press the compression spring 44 to generate a reaction force. When the hydraulic oil is pressed, it will pass through the round hole 401, but the flow rate will be limited due to the small diameter of the round hole 401, which can provide a buffering effect and effectively prevent the counterweight from colliding with the support plate 2. When the top block 41 and the support plate 2 are inserted, the counterweight will contact the upper surface of the support plate 2. At this time, the counterweight can be fixed using bolts to complete the installation. After the counterweight is removed, the reaction force of the compression spring 44 will push the top block 41, the sliding block 42 and the sealing gasket 43 upward, and they will reset.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
