[0002] The excavator counterweight support assembly is an important component of an excavator, mainly used to support and fix the excavator's counterweight. It plays a key role in the excavator's stability, working capacity, and safety.

[0003] For example, an excavator counterweight support assembly with announcement number CN216586754U includes: a crossbeam of the excavator main frame, with two support beams extending outward from one side of the crossbeam, and through holes vertically arranged along the upper edge of the support beams; a load-bearing frame is fitted onto the support beams in a sliding structure, and mounting grooves that mate with the through holes are opened on the bottom and top surfaces of the load-bearing frame; a connecting beam is fixedly arranged between the two load-bearing frames; one end of a screw is connected to the crossbeam in a rotating structure, and the other end is connected to the connecting beam in a threaded structure; by setting up the load-bearing frame, the counterweight can be directly engaged with the upper part of the load-bearing frame, and its sliding property can be used to adjust the position of the counterweight on the support beam, eliminating the need for multiple people to adjust the position of the counterweight repeatedly during hoisting, reducing the occurrence of danger and improving installation efficiency; the screw drives the load-bearing frame to the appropriate position through the connecting beam, saving workers' physical strength, with a simple structure, easy to implement, small space occupation, and optimized design.

[0004] The aforementioned patent proposes that the load-bearing frame can be moved by the cooperation of the screw and the connecting beam, which can adjust the position of the counterweight on the support beam. However, during the use of the excavator counterweight bracket assembly, since the load-bearing frame moves back and forth only by the action of the screw, it is difficult to ensure the stability of the movement of the load-bearing frame and the counterweight, which will cause the center of gravity to change, resulting in the excavator being less stable.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 An excavator counterweight support assembly includes a counterweight beam 1, a mounting plate 2, a drive component 3, a counterweight structure 4, and a guide rail structure 5. The mounting plate 2 is placed on the side wall of the counterweight beam 1 and is located at the upper part of the counterweight beam 1. The drive component 3 is located on one side of the counterweight beam 1, and the mounting plate 2 and the drive component 3 are on the same side. The counterweight structure 4 is located on the other side of the counterweight beam 1. The guide rail structure 5 is located at the lower end of the counterweight structure 4 and is fixed to the counterweight beam 1. The drive component 3 can drive the counterweight structure 4 to move, and the counterweight structure 4 slides on the guide rail structure 5, so that the counterweight structure 4 moves smoothly.

[0023] The guide rail structure 5 includes a slide rail 51 and a limiting groove 52 formed on the surface of the slide rail 51. A limiting plate 53 is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rail 51 away from the counterweight beam 1. A limiting slider 56 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the counterweight structure 4. The limiting slider 56 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 52. A pressure sensor 54 is embedded inside the limiting plate 53. The pressure sensor 54 is an MPX2010 and is used to monitor pressure. The counterweight structure 4 slides on the slide rail 51, and the limiting slider 56 slides in the limiting groove 52, which can provide support for the counterweight structure 4 and make the counterweight structure 4 move smoothly.

[0024] The driving component 3 includes a cylinder 31 and a connecting bracket 32 ​​connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 31. The connecting bracket 32 ​​has a U-shaped cross-section, and one side of the connecting bracket 32 ​​is connected to the counterweight structure 4. When the cylinder 31 is started, the connecting bracket 32 ​​and the counterweight structure 4 can be moved.

[0025] The counterweight structure 4 includes a load-bearing frame 41 and a connecting plate 42 installed on the side wall of the load-bearing frame 41. There are two sets of load-bearing frames 41, and the connecting plate 42 is located between the two sets of load-bearing frames 41. A door panel 43 is installed on the side wall of the load-bearing frame 41. The load-bearing frame 41 is used to place the counterweight block. A stabilizing member 44 is installed inside the load-bearing frame 41. The stabilizing member 44 is used to restrict the position of the counterweight block so that the counterweight block is stable.

[0026] The stabilizing component 44 includes a stabilizing plate 441 and sliding blocks 443 fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the stabilizing plate 441. Sliding grooves 444 are provided on the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the load-bearing frame 41. The sliding blocks 443 and the sliding grooves 444 are adapted to each other. A fixing plate 442 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the stabilizing plate 441 and can be fixed with bolts to prevent the stabilizing plate 441 from moving, thereby restricting the position of the counterweight.

[0027] An alarm 55 for alarm reminder is also installed on the connecting plate 42. The alarm 55 is connected to the pressure sensor 54. The model of the alarm 55 is PT2272. When the support frame 41 moves to one side of the limit plate 53, it can squeeze the pressure sensor 54. At this time, the pressure sensor 54 will provide an analog signal. The alarm 55 has a threshold. When the signal of the pressure sensor 54 exceeds or falls below this threshold, the alarm 55 will be triggered to remind the staff and stop the operation of the cylinder 31 in time.

[0028] In this embodiment: the counterweight is placed inside the load-bearing frame 41, and the sliding stabilizing plate 441 is slidable, so that the sliding block 443 slides in the sliding groove 444 until the counterweight is in contact. Then, it is fixed by the fixing plate 442 and bolts, so that the position of the stabilizing plate 441 does not move, thus restricting the position of the counterweight. Then, the cylinder 31 is activated, which can push the connecting bracket 32 ​​to move. At this time, the counterweight structure 4 slides on the slide rail 51, and the limiting slider 56 slides in the limiting groove 52, which can provide support for the counterweight structure 4, so that the counterweight structure 4 moves smoothly and the position of the counterweight is fixed, making the whole relatively stable, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the excavator.

The inner wall of the protective plates A11 and B13 is provided with a wear-resistant layer 12, which plays a role in wear resistance.

[0030] In this embodiment: two sets of guard plates A11 are placed at the front and rear ends of the counterweight beam 1 respectively, and guard plate B13 is placed between the two sets of mounting plates 2. Then, they are fixed with bolts so that the two sets of guard plates A11 and guard plate B13 can protect the outer edge of the counterweight beam, thereby achieving the purpose of protection. In addition, the wear-resistant layer 12 can reduce the wear on the surface of the counterweight beam 1.
