Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of counterweight equipment technology, specifically a counterweight for an excavator. Background Technology

[0002] An excavator, also known as a digging machine or a soil excavator, is an earthmoving machine that uses a bucket to excavate materials above or below the machine's bearing surface and load them into transport vehicles or unload them into a stockpile. The materials excavated by excavators are mainly soil, coal, silt, and pre-loosened soil and rock. In recent years, the development of construction machinery has been relatively rapid, and excavators have become one of the most important construction machines. The three most important parameters of an excavator are operating weight, engine power, and bucket capacity. As for digging force, it is mainly divided into boom digging force and bucket digging force. The point of application for both digging forces is the root of the bucket teeth and the lip of the bucket, but the power sources are different. The boom digging force comes from the boom cylinder, while the bucket digging force comes from the bucket cylinder.

[0003] However, in the current market, the counterweights on excavators are not easy to remove during use, making it difficult to control the counterweights. This causes inconvenience to users, wastes a lot of counterweight resources, and also wastes a lot of time disassembling the counterweights. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a counterweight for excavators to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a counterweight for an excavator, comprising a mounting base plate, a placement plate, a counterweight box, and a counterweight block. The placement plate is mounted on the top of the mounting base plate. The placement plate has symmetrically arranged mounting grooves on both sides of its top. Several rolling wheels are evenly installed inside the mounting grooves. The counterweight box is mounted on one side of the top of the mounting base plate. Several threaded sleeves are mounted on the outer surface of the counterweight box. A rotating screw is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeves. One end of the rotating screw is connected to a rotating handwheel. The other end of the rotating screw is connected to a fitting block inside the counterweight box via a bearing. A base is provided on the top of the placement plate inside the counterweight box. A counterweight block is mounted on the top of the base. Several buffer springs are arranged on both sides of the counterweight block. Buffer plates are mounted on the surfaces of the buffer springs. A top cover is mounted on the top of the counterweight box, and a handle is mounted on the top of the top cover.

[0006] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed in the middle of the surface of the placement plate, the bottom of the base is engaged and slidably connected with the limiting groove, and the bottom surface of the base is in contact with the surface of the rolling wheel.

[0007] Preferably, the placement plate has several fixing holes evenly distributed on both sides of its top, and the placement plate is fixedly connected to the fixing holes by fixing bolts.

[0008] Preferably, the counterweight has a positioning groove on its side, and the fitting block is fitted and fixedly connected to the positioning groove.

[0009] Preferably, a mounting rail is provided on one side of the counterweight box, and a switch door is installed inside the mounting rail.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When installing the counterweight, simply open the switch door and place the counterweight on the surface of the placement plate. The bottom of the base engages with the limiting groove for sliding connection, thereby limiting the movement trajectory of the counterweight. The bottom surface of the base is in contact with the surface of the rolling wheel, facilitating the movement of the counterweight into the appropriate position in the counterweight box. The counterweight is then fixed to the placement plate with fixing bolts. Subsequently, the rotating handwheel is adjusted to engage and fix the engagement block with the positioning groove. The rotating handwheel is then fixed with a fixing pin, thus completing the positioning and installation of the counterweight. The entire process is simple, making it easy to adjust the counterweight inside the box, which is convenient for users and makes reasonable use of the counterweight. By setting several buffer springs on both sides of the counterweight, and installing buffer plates on the surface of the buffer springs, damage caused by collision between the two counterweights can be reduced.
