The infrared detector is connected to the excavator near the bucket. A display screen and a PLC controller are connected to the top of the excavator's cab. A connecting frame is connected to the back of the display screen. The PLC controller is equipped with an analysis and comparison module and a network module. A handheld mobile terminal and a drone are wirelessly connected to the PLC controller.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the display screen is mounted on the top of the excavator cab via a connecting bracket on the back.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the PLC controller is connected to a handheld mobile terminal and a drone via a wireless network module.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the infrared surveying instrument and the excavator are connected by bolts.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the infrared surveying instrument and the PLC controller are electrically connected.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the PLC controller and the display screen are electrically connected.

[0012] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: The excavator bucket and control device, which can be precisely controlled along the outer contour line, allows for precise on-site construction. The precise outer contour line can be surveyed by a drone and compared with the on-site excavation line. This information is displayed on a screen in the cab and on a handheld mobile device, facilitating real-time viewing by construction and monitoring personnel. This allows construction personnel to adjust the bucket position promptly, and monitoring personnel to monitor the construction progress in real time. It also allows for maintaining a safe distance from the excavator, ensuring safer construction. The infrared surveying instrument can conduct real-time surveys near the excavator bucket, transmitting the bucket's excavation position information to the PLC controller. By precisely comparing the outer contour line with the drone satellite image, a bucket that can be precisely controlled along the outer contour line is formed, achieving precise construction.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3When the excavator bucket is not precisely controlled during construction, it may cause it to overshoot or miss the construction line, affecting the construction accuracy. Moreover, it is dangerous for on-site supervisors to monitor the excavator. The PLC controller 4 and the display screen 3 are electrically connected. The display screen 3 is mounted on the top of the excavator 1's cab via the connecting bracket 301 on the back. The PLC controller 4 is connected to the handheld mobile terminal 5 and the drone 6 via the wireless network module 402. The precise outer contour line of the construction site can be surveyed by the drone 6 and compared with the on-site excavation line. The data is then displayed on the display screen 3 in the cab and the handheld mobile terminal 5, which is convenient for construction workers and supervisors to view in real time. This allows construction workers to adjust the bucket position in a timely manner and supervisors to understand the construction situation in real time. A safe distance can be maintained between the supervisor and the excavator 1 to ensure safer construction.

The precise outer contour line of the on-site construction can be surveyed by the drone 6 and compared with the on-site excavation line. The results are displayed on the display screen 3 and the handheld mobile terminal 5 in the cab, facilitating real-time viewing by construction personnel and supervisors. This allows construction personnel to adjust the bucket position in a timely manner and supervisors to monitor the construction progress in real time. A safe distance can be maintained between the drone and the excavator 1 to ensure safer construction.
