[0023] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to further explain the present application. Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0024] The expansion water tank is also called a radiator expansion tank, and is a key component in the cooling system of the excavator. The main function is to accommodate the part increased due to the thermal expansion of the coolant, to prevent the coolant from overflowing, and to maintain the pressure stability of the cooling system. When the excavator is working, the coolant circulates and flows, absorbs the heat generated by the engine, and is dissipated to the outside through the radiator. The traditional excavator expansion water tank is directly fixed above the radiator, the space utilization rate above the radiator is low, and it also causes the installation cabin height of the excavator to be high, which causes inconvenience in transportation and maintenance, and blocks the view during driving; and the traditional excavator generally opens a small door on the upper machine cover for filling, and the expansion water tank is placed on the radiator, so that additional filling tooling is required during filling. Since the expansion water tank of the excavator is above the radiator, it is not convenient to fill the coolant, and it is also not convenient to observe the liquid level, and the coolant cannot be supplemented in time according to the actual needs.
