Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of excavator bucket manufacturing and processing, and in particular to an excavator screening bucket. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, screening buckets use a hydraulic system to drive the screening rollers to crush and screen the concrete and gravel in the bucket. Hydraulic drive first converts the electrical energy of the motor into the kinetic energy of the liquid, and the flowing liquid drives the screening rollers to rotate through the hydraulic motor. There are many different structures, and the energy consumption is relatively high because the transmission process is relatively long. Some other types of screening buckets directly drive the screening rollers to rotate with a motor, with each screening roller having its own motor, which is more expensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a screening bucket for excavators, which has the advantage of reducing energy consumption when driving the screening rollers.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A screening bucket for an excavator includes a bucket with a discharge port at its bottom. Three screening rollers are installed at the discharge port. Connecting shafts are fixedly connected to both ends of each screening roller. The connecting shafts at both ends of the screening rollers are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the bucket. Motors are fixedly connected to both sides of the bucket. Two motors are respectively connected to the connecting shafts at both ends of the same screening roller via sprockets and chains. The connecting shafts at both ends of each screening roller are connected to the connecting shafts at both ends of their adjacent screening rollers via sprockets and chains. Protective shells are fixedly connected to the bucket at the locations of the sprockets, chains, and motors, with the sprockets, chains, and motors located inside the protective shells.

[0006] Using the above technical solution, the motor drives the sprocket and chain to rotate. The sprocket and chain drive the screening roller, which is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft, to rotate. The screening roller then drives other screening rollers to rotate through the sprocket and chain to crush and screen the concrete and gravel in the bucket. Using two motors to drive three screening rollers through the sprocket and chain shortens the energy transfer process, thereby reducing energy consumption. It also eliminates the need to connect a motor to each screening roller, thus reducing costs.

[0007] Preferably, the sprocket is connected to the connecting shaft via a flat key. The side wall of the connecting shaft end and the inner wall of the sprocket are provided with keyways. The flat key is embedded in the keyway of the connecting shaft and is slidably connected to the connecting shaft. The sprocket is sleeved on the end of the connecting shaft. The keyway of the sprocket passes through the flat key, and the sprocket is slidably connected to the flat key. A groove is provided on the side wall of the connecting shaft end, and a retaining spring is embedded in the groove.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, the sprocket drives the connecting shaft to rotate through the flat key, which reduces the axial force of the sprocket on the connecting shaft. At the same time, the key connection is easy to process, convenient to install and disassemble, and has good alignment. The snap ring is used to stop the sprocket and prevent it from slipping off the connecting shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the motor output shaft and the sprocket are connected by a spline. The inner wall of the sprocket is provided with a spline groove. The motor output shaft is fixedly connected to an external spline shaft. The sprocket of the motor is sleeved on the motor output shaft. The key teeth of the external spline shaft are embedded in the spline groove of the sprocket. The sprocket slides along the axial direction on the motor output shaft.

[0010] The above technical solution is used to synchronize the axial movement with the sprocket on the connecting shaft. At the same time, the spline connection has uniform force, high load-bearing capacity, and good centering and guiding properties.

[0011] Preferably, the protective shells on both sides of the bucket are provided with inspection ports, and the inspection ports are provided with sealing plates, which are fixedly connected to the protective shells by bolts and nuts.

[0012] The above technical solution facilitates the maintenance of the drive system inside the protective shell.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the bucket is fixedly connected with a wear-resistant plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, damage to the excavator bucket during operation can be reduced.

[0015] Preferably, the front part of the bucket has a side blade integrally formed.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure on the ground is increased, allowing for better excavation. Attached Figure Description

[0027] See Figures 1 to 8A screening bucket for an excavator includes a bucket 1, with a wear-resistant plate 13 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bucket 1. A side blade 14 is integrally formed at the front of the bucket 1. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the bucket 1. Three screening rollers 2 are arranged at the discharge port at the bottom of the bucket 1. Connecting shafts 3 are fixedly connected to both ends of each screening roller 2. The connecting shafts 3 at both ends of the screening roller 2 are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the bucket 1. A keyway 9 is provided on the side wall of the end of the connecting shaft 3, and a flat key 8 is embedded in the keyway 9. The flat key 8 is connected to the connecting shaft 3. Shaft 3 is slidably connected. A sprocket 5 is fitted at the end of shaft 3. There are two sprockets 5 on shaft 3, connected by a bushing. The rotation axes of the two sprockets 5 coincide with the central axis of the bushing. A keyway 9 is provided on the inner wall of sprocket 5, passing through a flat key 8. Sprocket 5 and flat key 8 are slidably connected. A groove is provided on the side wall of the end of shaft 3, and a retaining spring 10 is embedded in the groove. Motors 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of bucket 1. The output shaft of motor 4 is fixedly connected to an external spline shaft 11. A set of sprockets 5 is provided. The inner wall of the sprocket 5 on the motor 4 has a spline groove 9. The key teeth of the outer spline shaft 11 are embedded in the spline groove 9 of the sprocket 5. The sprocket 5 slides axially on the output shaft of the motor 4. The two motors 4 are respectively connected to the connecting shaft 3 at the end of the same screening roller 2 through the sprocket 5 and chain 6. The connecting shaft 3 at both ends of each screening roller 2 is connected to the connecting shaft 3 at both ends of its adjacent screening roller 2 through the sprocket 5 and chain 6. For example, the sprocket 5 on the motor 4 on one side of the bucket 1 is connected to the connecting shaft 3 at the end of the same screening roller 2. One sprocket 5 on one side of the connecting shaft 3 is connected by a chain 6. Another sprocket 5 on the connecting shaft 3 is connected by a chain 6 to one of the sprockets 5 on another connecting shaft 3 adjacent to this connecting shaft 3. The bucket 1 is fixedly connected to a protective shell 7 at the location of the sprocket 5, chain 6 and motor 4. The sprocket 5, chain 6 and motor 4 are located inside the protective shell 7. Inspection ports are opened on both sides of the protective shell 7. A sealing plate 12 is provided at the inspection port. The sealing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 7 by bolts and nuts.

[0028] Working principle: Motor 4 drives sprocket 5 and chain 6 to rotate via splines. Sprocket 5 and chain 6 drive screening roller 2, which is fixed to the connecting shaft 3, to rotate via connecting shaft 3. Screening roller 2 then drives other screening rollers 2 to rotate via sprocket 5 and chain 6 to crush and screen the concrete and gravel in bucket 1. Using two motors 4 to drive three screening rollers 2 via sprocket 5 and chain 6 shortens the energy transfer process compared to hydraulic drive, thereby reducing energy consumption. It also eliminates the need to connect a motor 4 to each screening roller 2, reducing costs.
