Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of excavator technology, specifically to an unmanned excavator. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned excavators, as the name suggests, are intelligent excavating machines that do not require human drivers. Relying on advanced control systems, sensor technology, and artificial intelligence algorithms, they can achieve remote control or autonomous operation. Unmanned excavators demonstrate significant advantages in complex and dangerous working environments, such as mines, tunnels, and earthquake-stricken areas. They are characterized by high efficiency, safety, and environmental friendliness, and can operate 24 hours a day without interruption, reducing labor costs and improving project progress. Through a precise positioning system and intelligent operating interface, unmanned excavators can automatically complete tasks such as excavation, loading, and transportation according to preset programs, injecting powerful momentum into modern engineering construction.

[0003] Existing unmanned excavators often face reliability issues with their monitoring devices in complex working environments. Dust, mud, and other impurities generated during operation can easily adhere to the monitoring devices, and hard particles such as stones may fall onto them. These factors combined can easily lead to monitoring device malfunctions, thereby affecting the smooth progress and safety of the entire operation. Utility Model Content

The monitoring body 202 is electrically connected to the excavator body 1, and the protective cover 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective shell 201. The protective shell 201 and the protective cover 203 work together to prevent hard particles such as stones from falling onto the monitoring body 202 and causing damage to it, thereby improving the service life of the monitoring body 202.

[0026] Specifically, the flushing mechanism 3 includes a water tank 301, a level gauge 302, a water pump 303, a connecting pipe 304, a three-way pipe 305, and a nozzle 306. The water tank 301 is fixedly connected inside the excavator body 1. The level gauge 302 is provided on the front of the water tank 301. The cleaning fluid is stored in the water tank 301. The remaining amount of cleaning fluid can be observed through the level gauge 302 and can be added in time.

[0027] Specifically, a water pump 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 301. The top of the water pump 303 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 304. A three-way pipe 305 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 304. When the water pump 303 is working, it draws the cleaning liquid from the water tank 301 and delivers it to the nozzle 306 through the connecting pipe 304 and the three-way pipe 305.

[0028] Specifically, nozzles 306 are fixedly connected to both ends of the three-way pipe 305. The nozzles 306 are fixedly connected to the protective shell 201. The water outlet direction of the nozzles 306 is towards the monitoring body 202.
