Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically a sliding protective structure for a quick connector for excavators. Background Technology
[0002] In construction, mining, and municipal engineering, excavators are widely used as essential construction equipment for material excavation and handling. Quick-connect couplings, as key components of excavators, greatly improve the efficiency of changing working devices (such as buckets, breakers, and grapples), enhancing the excavator's adaptability to different working conditions. However, during operation, falling rocks are common, necessitating the installation of protective structures to prevent damage.
[0003] Existing technology, Chinese patent CN218667698U, discloses a sliding protective structure for a quick connector of an excavator, belonging to the field of engineering machinery. This structure protects the quick connector, which includes a hydraulic cylinder valve block and hydraulic pipes. It comprises two side plates fixedly connected to two rotating shaft mounting plates within the quick connector, with a lower cover plate between the two side plates. One end of the lower cover plate is snapped and fixed to the same end of the two side plates, and the other end is fixed with a bent plate. The lower cover plate has an opening area. An upper cover plate is slidably mounted on the lower cover plate. The upper cover plate has a fourth through hole corresponding to the opening area for the hydraulic pipe to pass through, and a third through hole for the valve block hydraulic cylinder to pass through. After installation, the upper cover plate moves along with the hydraulic cylinder in the protective structure. This movement does not create a protective gap and does not obstruct the operation of internal parts of the quick connector, achieving multi-directional protection and preventing impurities from falling into the quick connector.
[0004] The sliding protective structure of the excavator quick connector described above features a sliding connection between the upper and lower cover plates. The lower cover plate has a limiting sliding opening, while the upper cover plate has a second through hole. A combination of bolts and nuts is used to limit the connection between the lower and upper cover plates. The structure is simple, and the detachable design facilitates future maintenance or replacement. However, this sliding protective structure for the excavator quick connector lacks a buffer rebound component when subjected to pressure, relying solely on the cover plate for protection. This can easily damage the cover plate after repeated exposure, affecting its protective effect and resulting in poor performance during use. Improvements are needed in this regard.
