Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of excavator battery pack installation technology, specifically relating to an electric excavator and its battery installation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the current electric excavator market, mainstream products mainly rely on motors and power batteries as their power source. These excavators require a large power output when working, and to meet this demand, they often need to be equipped with a large number of power batteries. However, this also brings a series of problems. Due to the large number of batteries, their overall volume also increases accordingly, and the requirements for the battery installation structure are relatively high.

[0003] In existing technologies, most electric excavator battery mounting structures adopt a rectangular beam and integral welding method for each bracket. While this structure meets installation requirements to a certain extent, its disadvantages are also quite obvious. First, due to possible errors and stress concentrations during the welding process, the entire mounting structure is prone to deformation during use, which may cause difficulties in battery installation and fixation, and even threaten the safe use of the battery. Second, because the battery is large and heavy, existing mounting structures often require a lot of manpower and resources for battery assembly, which not only increases production costs but also reduces production efficiency. Furthermore, the large size and complex structure of the entire mounting structure make overall hoisting extremely inconvenient, which not only increases the difficulty of transportation and installation but may also cause safety hazards during hoisting. In summary, there is an urgent need for an electric excavator and its battery mounting device. Utility Model Content
