[0060] Reference can be made to Figures 1 to 7 The utility model embodiment provides a kind of excavator movable arm supporting device 100, by integrally casting forming, including two opposite bearings 110, two opposite side plates 120, top plate 130, bottom plate 140, front support plate 150, rear support plate 160 and intermediate support plate 170, two bearings 110 are located in the rear end of supporting device 100, for and excavator's rotary platform articulates;The rear end of two side plates 120 is connected to different bearings 110 respectively;Top plate 130 is connected to the top end of two side plates 120, and is connected with bearing 110;Bottom plate 140 is connected to the bottom end of two side plates 120, and is connected with bearing 110;Front support plate 150 is set in the front end of supporting device 100, and is connected with the front end of side plate 120, the front end of top plate 130 and the front end of bottom plate 140, first process hole 151 is opened in front support plate 150, wherein, the front end of side plate 120, the front end of top plate 130 and the front end of bottom plate 140 are configured to be connected with the movable arm 200 of excavator;Rear support plate 160 is connected to the rear end of bottom plate 140 and the rear end of top plate 130, and is connected with bearing 110;Side plate 120, top plate 130, bottom plate 140, front support plate 150 and rear support plate 160 are collectively enclosed into forming cavity, and intermediate support plate 170 is set in the cavity.

[0061] The two bearing seats 110 in the excavator movable arm supporting device 100 provided by the embodiment of the utility model are arranged at the rear end of the supporting device 100, and the function is to be hinged with the slewing platform of the excavator, so that the device can be flexibly rotated during operation. The rear ends of the two side plates 120 are connected with the corresponding bearing seats 110 respectively, and the foundation support is provided for the overall structure; the top plate 130 is connected with the top ends of the two side plates 120 and is connected with the bearing seat 110, so that the compression resistance of the upper part of the device can be enhanced; the bottom plate 140 is connected with the bottom ends of the two side plates 120 and the bearing seat 110, so that the stability of the bottom part can be ensured. The front support plate 150 is connected with the front ends of the side plate 120, the top plate 130 and the bottom plate 140, and the first process hole 151 is arranged in the front support plate 150. During the machining process, the process hole is convenient for workers to operate inside with tools, so that the machining accuracy is improved; during the subsequent maintenance, the internal condition can be observed by the technical personnel, potential problems can be found in time, and the product quality is improved. Meanwhile, the front ends of the side plate 120, the top plate 130 and the bottom plate 140 are designed to be connected with the movable arm 200 of the excavator, so that the force transmission between the movable arm 200 and the supporting device 100 is smoother, and the cooperation of the excavating operation is improved. The rear support plate 160 is connected with the rear end of the bottom plate 140 and the rear end of the top plate 130 and is connected with the bearing seat 110, so that the stability of the rear end of the device is strengthened. The side plate 120, the top plate 130, the bottom plate 140, the front support plate 150 and the rear support plate 160 jointly form a cavity, and the middle support plate 170 is arranged in the cavity, so that the internal structure strength of the device is improved, and the device can bear a large load in multiple directions. In summary, compared with the traditional welded movable arm 200 rear supporting structure, the excavator movable arm supporting device 100 provided by the embodiment of the utility model is integrally cast, the structure strength of the supporting device 100 is improved, the complicated welding process is avoided, the production cycle is shortened, the production cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the front end and the rear end of the middle support plate 170 can be connected to the front support plate 150 and the rear support plate 160 respectively, and the cross section of the rear support plate 160 is in the form of a circular arc structure protruding towards the front support plate 150. This connection mode can make the internal support force distribution more balanced, and when the supporting device 100 bears the excavating load from the outside, whether it is the impact from the working device during operation or the vibration, pulling force and the like generated due to complex working conditions, the internal support structure under balanced stress can effectively disperse. The front support plate 150, the middle support plate 170 and the rear support plate 160 cooperate to improve the overall stability of the supporting device 100, and ensure stable and reliable operation of the device in long-term high-strength excavating operation.

[0063] The rear support plate 160 in the arc-shaped structure can achieve efficient pressure dispersion. Compared with the traditional straight-line or angular cross-section design, when external load is applied to the rear support plate 160, the pressure will naturally and uniformly spread to all directions along the curve of the arc. For example, in the excavation operation, the boom 200 is frequently extended and retracted, and the generated force is transmitted to the rear support plate 160. The arc surface can smoothly guide these forces to the surrounding connecting components, avoid excessive stress concentration in the local area, make the force of each part of the entire support device 100 more balanced, and greatly reduce the risk of component damage caused by local overload. Secondly, this arc-shaped design effectively reduces the stress concentration point. Sharp corners are prone to become "high-risk areas" of stress concentration when stressed, causing cracks and even structural failure problems such as rupture. The arc structure does not have such sharp corners, which eliminates the risk of stress concentration from the mechanical principle, ensuring that the rear support plate 160 itself and the top plate 130, the bottom plate 140, the side plate 120 and other components connected thereto remain structurally intact under long-term complex stress working conditions, providing a solid guarantee for the high-strength operation of the entire support device 100. Furthermore, from the aspect of overall structural stability, the arc-shaped rear support plate 160 is more smooth in connection with other components. In the assembly process, it can better fit the top plate 130 and the bottom plate 140 to form a tight and continuous force transmission path, reducing the force loss or stress mutation caused by small gaps, misalignments and other factors at the connection site, making the internal structure of the entire support device 100 more coordinated, and further improving the ability to cope with high-strength excavation operations, ensuring the long-term stable and reliable operation of the device.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the front end of the side plate 120 can protrude from the top plate 130, the bottom plate 140 and the front support plate 150 by a portion to form a first welding portion 121 welded with the excavator boom 200. The front end of the side plate 120 protrudes from the top plate 130, the bottom plate 140 and the front support plate 150 by a portion, which can increase the welding contact area. When welded with the excavator boom 200, the protruding portion provides more space for welding operation, so that the length of the weld is increased and the welding points are more widely distributed. Compared with the butt welding method, the large-area welding connection can significantly enhance the bonding force between the boom 200 and the side plate 120. During the excavation operation, the boom 200 bears a large external force such as excavation and lifting, and the large-area and firm first welding portion 121 can effectively disperse the transmitted load and prevent loosening and cracking due to insufficient bonding force of the welding portion, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure of the entire support device 100. On the other hand, the unique design of the protruding portion makes the welding force more uniform. Since the direction and size of the force of the boom 200 during operation are variable, if the welding portion is cramped and the force is uneven, a high stress area is easily formed in the local part, which causes the weld to fatigue and fail. The first welding portion 121 can guide the force to be transmitted to the main body of the side plate 120 and the surrounding components along the protruding portion more gently due to the protruding design of the front end of the side plate 120, which avoids stress concentration in a certain point. For example, when the boom 200 is subjected to a lateral tensile force, the force can be uniformly dispersed to various parts of the side plate 120 through the long weld, and then the top plate 130, the bottom plate 140 and other components bear the load together, so that the entire support device 100 is still firm and reliable under complex stress working conditions and maintains high strength operation capability.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the height of the front end of the side plate 120 can be less than the distance between the top plate 130 and the bottom plate 140 to form a stepped second welding portion 122 between the side plate 120, the top plate 130 and the bottom plate 140, and the second welding portion 122 is welded with the excavator boom 200. The stepped second welding portion 122 can increase the welding surface between the excavator boom 200 and the support device 100 and improve the fit between the two, so that the support device 100 and the boom 200 are connected more firmly.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the connecting portions between the side plate 120, the top plate 130, the bottom plate 140, the front support plate 150, the rear support plate 160 and the middle support plate 170 can have a fillet 180 with a radius greater than 20 mm. It can be understood that when the mechanical structure is under stress, sharp corners will cause stress concentration and sudden force transmission. The fillet 180 can smoothly transition the stress and uniformly distribute it in the connecting area. When the force of the excavator boom 200 working is transmitted to the connecting portion of the plate, the fillet 180 guides the stress dispersion, avoids local stress from being too high to cause cracks, enhances the connection strength, and improves the stability of the device. Secondly, long-term excavating operation will make the support device 100 bear alternating load, and sharp corners are easy to become the starting point of fatigue cracks, which will cause component failure with crack propagation. The fillet 180 can reduce the stress concentration coefficient, better bear the alternating load, delay the generation and propagation of cracks, improve the fatigue life of the connecting portion, and ensure the long-term reliable operation of the support device 100. In addition, the connecting portion of the plate is the key of force transmission, and its strength affects the collaborative working ability of the device. The fillet 180 design can make the connection natural and tight, avoid uneven metal flow defects during manufacturing, ensure consistent material performance, ensure smooth force transmission during stress, maintain the force transmission path, make the device collaboratively bear stress as a whole, improve the structural strength, and adapt to complex working conditions. Finally, the fillet 180 design can also facilitate the removal of the casting during casting. The radius of the fillet 180 is too small, which will cause difficulty in demolding later.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the second process hole 123 can be formed in the side plate 120. It can be understood that the support device 100 has a large volume and the cavity inside is relatively deep, so the production personnel cannot fully reach the inside of the cavity. By opening the second process hole 123, the sand mold can be compacted during casting, ensuring the compactness of the sand mold in the deep cavity and improving the quality of the support device 100. Moreover, the second process hole 123 also facilitates further sand cleaning inside the cavity, ensuring the cleanliness of the cavity and avoiding damage to the casting body.

[0068] In the above embodiment, a third process hole 131 can also be formed in the top plate 130. The third process hole 131 can improve the support and reinforcement of the casting, avoid movement of the main core of the casting during hoisting and pouring, and thus affect the quality of the casting.

[0069] In the above embodiment, a fourth process hole 141 can also be formed in the bottom plate 140. The fourth process hole 141 can assist in exhaust to reduce defects such as pores in the casting.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the bearing seat 110 can include a seat body 111, a hinging hole 112 for hinging with the slewing platform of the excavator, and a lubricating hole 113 having an included angle with the axial direction of the hinging hole 112 and communicating with the hinging hole 112. The intersection holes of the two bearing seats 110 can be opposite in the axial direction, and a pin shaft can pass through the hinging holes 112 of the two bearing seats 110 to hinge with the slewing platform. The lubricating hole 113 can facilitate the addition of lubricant to the hinging hole 112, lubricate the bearing seat 110, and improve the service life thereof.

[0071] In a second aspect, the utility model also provides an excavator, including walking mechanism, slewing platform and work device, slewing platform sets up in walking mechanism, work device is connected to slewing platform, and work device includes movable arm 200 and the support device 100 in the above embodiment, and the rear end of support device 100 is hinged with slewing platform through bearing seat 110, and the front end of support device 100 is connected with movable arm 200. The support device 100 includes two opposite bearing seats 110, two opposite side plates 120, a top plate 130, a bottom plate 140, a front support plate 150, a rear support plate 160 and an intermediate support plate 170. The two bearing seats 110 are located at the rear end of the support device 100 and are used for hinging with the slewing platform of the excavator. The rear ends of the two side plates 120 are respectively connected to different bearing seats 110.
