Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of excavator cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a track cleaner for hydraulic excavators. Background Technology
[0002] In complex working environments such as open-pit mining, hydraulic excavator tracks often face the daunting problem of becoming filled with silt. Due to the specific nature of the work site, large amounts of silt accumulate rapidly between the tracks and the guards. Traditional manual cleaning methods, relying on manpower and simple tools, are not only inefficient but also physically demanding, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of actual production. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problem described in the background art where the track frame of a hydraulic excavator often becomes filled with silt in complex working environments such as open-pit mining, the present invention proposes the following technical solution:
[0004] A track cleaner for a hydraulic excavator includes a squeeze plate and multiple limiting grooves recessed on one side, one of which is embedded between the tracks of the hydraulic excavator; the squeeze plate is inserted between the tracks and the baffle of the hydraulic excavator, and the side of the track cleaner near the baffle is cut to form a corner; when the hydraulic excavator is idling, the squeeze plate reciprocates with the tracks, thereby squeezing out the silt between the tracks and the baffle.
[0005] Furthermore, the limiting grooves are parallel to each other, and the depth of each limiting groove is equal.
[0006] Furthermore, the surface of the track cleaner is recessed to form a rectangular notch.
[0007] Furthermore, the limiting groove and the rectangular notch are located on opposite sides of the track cleaner.
[0008] Furthermore, the depth of the limiting groove is less than the width of the limiting groove, and the width of the extrusion plate is greater than the width of each limiting groove.
[0009] Beneficial effects: This utility model maintains a relatively static state between the track and the cleaner through the limiting groove of the track cleaner. When the extrusion plate is embedded in the limiting groove on the track, it is inserted between the track and the baffle. This allows the track to drive the extrusion plate to move back and forth when the hydraulic excavator is idling, thereby removing the silt between the track and the baffle. Attached Figure Description
[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a track cleaner for a hydraulic excavator according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0011] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0012] It should be understood that the terms “center,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” and “outer,” etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this patent and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this patent.
[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a track cleaner for a hydraulic excavator according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0014] Reference Figure 1 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a track cleaner for a hydraulic excavator has a recessed side forming an extrusion plate 2 and multiple limiting grooves 3. One of the limiting grooves 3 is embedded between the tracks of the hydraulic excavator, and the track cleaner 1 is fixed to the tracks via the limiting groove 3, thereby ensuring that it maintains a stationary position relative to the tracks during dredging. The side of the track cleaner 1 near the baffle is cut to form a corner 11, and the extrusion plate 2 is inserted through the corner 11 between the tracks and the baffle of the hydraulic excavator (i.e., at the track frame of the hydraulic excavator).
[0015] When the hydraulic excavator is idling, the tracks reciprocate, causing the track cleaner 1 to move synchronously. Experience shows that the silt adhering to the upper layer between the tracks and the baffles is more severe. During dredging, the tracks only make half a cycle of reciprocating motion. As the tracks continue to reciprocate, the extrusion plate 2 continuously applies pressure to the silt between the tracks and the baffles. Under this pressure, the silt originally accumulated between the tracks and the baffles is gradually squeezed out, thus achieving the cleaning purpose.
[0016] Furthermore, the multiple limiting grooves 3 are parallel to each other, and the depth of each limiting groove 3 remains equal. This arrangement ensures that each limiting groove 3 is evenly stressed during installation of the track cleaner 1, and also helps to improve the stability and reliability of the track cleaner 1 during operation, ensuring that it always maintains a good fit with the track.
[0017] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a rectangular notch 12 is recessed into the surface of the track cleaner 1. The rectangular notch 12 and the limiting groove 3 are located on opposite sides of the track cleaner 1. On the one hand, this reduces the weight of the track cleaner 1 and improves operational convenience without affecting its overall structural strength; on the other hand, the rectangular notch 12 facilitates the operator's grip and installation of the entire track cleaner 1. In addition, to reduce costs, the entire track cleaner 1 can be formed by cutting waste sheet metal materials such as tracks.
[0018] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the depth of the limiting groove 3 is less than its width, and the width of the limiting groove 3 is less than the width of the extrusion plate 2. Through the above arrangement, on the one hand, the limiting groove 3 can be securely embedded in the track; on the other hand, it ensures that the extrusion plate 2 can cover a larger area during the idling of the hydraulic excavator, allowing for more comprehensive and effective extrusion of the silt between the track and the baffle, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect of the track cleaner 1.
[0019] In summary, this utility model maintains a relatively static state between the track and the cleaner through the limiting groove of the track cleaner. When the extrusion plate is embedded in the limiting groove on the track, it is inserted between the track and the baffle, so that when the hydraulic excavator is idling, the track can drive the extrusion plate to move back and forth, thereby removing the silt between the track and the baffle.
