[0041] The following provides a further explanation of the specific structure of the aforementioned protective cover.
[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover is composed of two symmetrical cover bodies 8 and 9 joined together.
[0043] Further options, such as Figure 1As shown, the covers 8 and 9 include a right-angled vertical plate I1 and a right-angled flat plate 2; the right-angled vertical plate I1 stands on the upper surface of the longitudinal beam 12 and abuts against the periphery of the connecting seat 18 at the end of the H-frame 13; the right-angled flat plate 2 is horizontally fixed to the top of the right-angled vertical plate I1, and the outer right-angled periphery of the right-angled flat plate 2 is completely joined with the right-angled top edge of the right-angled vertical plate I1; the U-shaped notch formed by the joining of the right-angled flat plates 2 on both sides is used to avoid the inclined support plate 17 at the end of the H-frame 13.

[0047] Further options, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the detachable fastening component is the bolt 10. Multiple threaded seats 11 are provided at intervals on the front, left and right sides of the connecting seat 18. The right-angled upright plates I1 on both sides are provided with through holes corresponding to the threaded seats 11. The bolt 10 cooperates with the through holes and the threaded seats 11 to fix the cover 8 and 9 on the connecting seat 18.

The baffle assembly 14 includes an inclined baffle 6 and a pair of opposing triangular plates 7. The top edge of the inclined baffle 6 is located on the top surface of the protective cover, and the bottom edge is located on the outer edge of the longitudinal beam 12. The pair of opposing triangular plates 7 are fixed at the left and right edges of the baffle 6. A gap is left between the triangular plates 7 and the longitudinal beam 12 to prevent the longitudinal beam 12 from interfering with the baffle assembly 14 when the baffle assembly 14 is flipped outward.
[0050] In a further embodiment, the baffle 6 is provided with at least one cylinder I extending along the length of the longitudinal beam 12, and the protective cover is provided with at least one cylinder II 5 arranged coaxially with the cylinder I; the detachable hinge component consists of a pin 15 and at least one cotter pin 16, the pin 15 passes through the cylinder I and the cylinder II 5, and the cotter pin 16 is inserted into the pin 15 to limit its axial movement.

[0052] The following describes the installation process of the aforementioned protective device on the longitudinal beam.
[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a hydraulic excavator requires four sets of protective devices. One set needs to be installed at each of the H-frame connecting bolts. An example is given illustrating the installation method for one set of protective devices. Specifically, covers 8 and 9 are mounted on the H-frame 13 via bolts 10. A baffle assembly 14 is connected to covers 8 and 9 via pins 15 and cotter pins 16, and can rotate around pin 15. Under normal conditions, the baffle assembly 14 is located on the top plate of the longitudinal beam 12. To remove covers 8 and 9, simply rotate and lift the baffle assembly 14 to remove the bolts 10. The baffle assembly 14 helps mud and debris slide off covers 8 and 9 for easy cleaning and also effectively protects the bolts.
