Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of excavator protection technology, specifically relating to an excavator cab and its tiltable protective netting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of earthwork construction, excavators are the core operating equipment, and the safety and ease of operation of their cabs are of paramount importance. When excavators are performing high-intensity operations such as digging and loading, flying soil and rocks may impact the windshield of the cab, posing a risk of glass breakage and foreign objects entering the cab, which seriously threatens the personal safety of the driver. Therefore, installing a protective net in front of the cab has become a standard protective measure in the industry. Its core function is to build a physical barrier to effectively buffer and block the impact of flying objects and ensure the integrity of the driving space.
[0003] In existing technologies, the front guard net of the cab is usually rigidly connected to the cab frame by bolts and other fasteners to form a fixed protective structure. The guard net mainly adopts two typical structural forms: round steel and plate. The round steel guard net is composed of multiple parallel round steel bars forming a grid, which uses the impact resistance of metal materials to achieve protection. The plate guard net is composed of strips of a certain width arranged at intervals, which increases the protective ability by increasing the structural rigidity.
[0004] However, such protective nets have revealed the following drawbacks in practical applications. In terms of maintenance convenience, when cleaning the windshield or repairing the wiper system, tools must be used to remove the fixing bolts and the protective net must be completely removed before operations can be carried out. This process not only consumes a lot of time and manpower, but frequent disassembly can also lead to wear of the bolt holes, affecting the installation accuracy of the protective net and the structural strength of the cab. In terms of visual comfort, in order to avoid the mesh bulging phenomenon caused by vibration during operation, the round steel protective net needs to be designed with a relatively dense spacing, which reduces the light transmittance of the mesh. When the driver observes the working area in front through the protective net, there is a blind spot. The width of the slats of the plate-shaped protective net is usually as high as 30mm. When the driver looks to the sides in a normal sitting posture, the plate-shaped grille is exactly in the line of sight, obstructing the wide-angle vision on the left and right sides and increasing safety hazards. In summary, there is an urgent need for an excavator cab and its tiltable protective net device. Utility Model Content
