Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of excavator chassis assembly technology, and more specifically to an auxiliary tilting device for excavator chassis assembly. Background Technology
[0002] The excavator chassis is a crucial component of the entire machine, typically consisting of tracks, track rollers, drive wheels, and idler wheels. During assembly, the chassis undergoes numerous processes, including component positioning, bolt tightening, welding, and quality inspection. Due to its complex structure and significant weight, the chassis requires frequent adjustments to its orientation during assembly to facilitate operation at different angles.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN218490778U, which discloses a tilting device for excavator chassis assembly. This device connects a rotating disk and a limiting disk together using an adjusting connecting device, and then drives a motor to rotate the rotating shaft, thereby rotating the chassis. The structure is simple and does not require hoisting. However, when clamping the excavator chassis, the device uses two clamping plates to hold it. Due to the large weight of the excavator chassis, it is prone to slippage during the tilting process, which may cause it to fall off, posing a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. This utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides an auxiliary tilting device for excavator chassis assembly, including a gantry frame 1. An electric push rod 2 is bolted to the top outer wall of the gantry frame 1. The output shaft of the electric push rod 2 passes through the top inner wall of the gantry frame 1 and is bolted to a U-shaped frame 3. A rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped frame 3 via bearings. A frame 5 is bolted between the two rotating shafts 4. A drive assembly 10 for rotating the frame 5 is provided between one of the rotating shafts 4 and the U-shaped frame 3. Both outer walls of the frame 5 are bolted to the U-shaped frame 3 via bearings. Two electric push rods 6 are bolted to the frame 5. The output ends of the two electric push rods 6 pass through the inner walls of both sides of the frame 5 and are bolted to clamping plates 7. Two symmetrical U-shaped plates 14 are bolted to the opposite sides of the clamping plates 7. When the excavator chassis needs to be tilted, the electric push rod 2 is first activated to extend, thereby moving the U-shaped frame 3 downwards. During the downward movement of the U-shaped frame 3, the middle frame 5 moves downwards synchronously, and the clamping plates 7 on it move downwards along with the frame 5, while the U-shaped plates 14 move downwards synchronously. The U-shaped plate 14 is lowered until it is at the same horizontal level as the excavator chassis. The combined effect of the U-shaped plate 14 clamping the excavator chassis on both sides creates a three-dimensional constraint, reducing the risk of slippage due to center of gravity shift during tilting. This is particularly suitable for chassis structures with asymmetry or irregular centers of gravity. Stepped clamping blocks 15 are bolted to the top inner wall and the top inner wall of the U-shaped plate 14. These stepped clamping blocks 15 inside the U-shaped plate 14 can cover various excavator chassis to meet their assembly requirements and adapt to excavator chassis of different thicknesses or cross-sectional heights. The disc structure allows for clamping without changing the clamps. Protective pads 16 are adhered to multiple stepped surfaces of the stepped clamping block 15, and multiple anti-slip grooves 17 are provided on the multiple protective pads 16. A workbench for placing the excavator chassis is provided below the gantry frame 1. After the U-shaped plate 14 is moved to the designated position, two electric push rods 6 are activated simultaneously to extend and drive the two clamping plates 7 to move closer together. When the two clamping plates 7 move closer together, they drive the U-shaped plate 14 on it to move, thereby clamping the two sides of the excavator chassis through the stepped clamping block 15 inside.
[0023] In this invention, the drive assembly 10 includes an external gear ring 13 bolted to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 4. A drive motor 11 is bolted to one side of the U-shaped frame 3. The output shaft of the drive motor 11 passes through the inner wall of one side of the U-shaped frame 3 and is bolted to a gear 12 that meshes with the external gear ring 13. After the clamping operation of the excavator chassis is completed, the electric push rod 2 is activated to retract. During its retraction, the excavator chassis moves upward. When it reaches the top, the drive motor 11 is activated to drive the gear 12 to rotate. When the gear 12 rotates, it drives the external gear ring 13 that meshes with it to rotate. During its rotation, the gear 12 drives the external gear ring 13 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4 connected to it rotates synchronously, thereby causing the frame 5 to rotate. As the frame 5 rotates, it drives the excavator chassis clamped inside to rotate. After rotating 180 degrees, the excavator chassis can be flipped. After the flip is completed, the electric push rod 2 is activated to extend and drive the excavator chassis to move downward until it is placed back on the worktable. Then the clamping and fixing can be released. Through the provided drive component 10, the core advantages of automation, high precision and strong safety are achieved, which solves the problems of low efficiency, high risk and safety hazards of manual flipping. It is especially suitable for high-strength and high-precision assembly scenarios of medium and large excavator chassis.
[0024] In this utility model, the upper and lower outer walls of the two U-shaped plates 14 in the same group are fixedly connected with connecting plates 18 by bolts, and multiple reinforcing rods 19 are fixedly connected between the two connecting plates 18 by bolts.
[0025] In this utility model, guide rods 8 are fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the U-shaped frame 3 by bolts. The top ends of the two guide rods 8 pass through the top outer wall of the gantry frame 1 and are slidably connected thereto. Two symmetrical sliding rods 9 are fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plate 7 by bolts. One end of the two sliding rods 9 passes through the outer wall of one side of the frame 5 and is slidably connected thereto. One end of the sliding rods 9 and the guide rods 8 are fixedly connected to a limit block by bolts.
[0026] The use of this utility model involves the following steps:
[0027] S1: When it is necessary to flip the excavator chassis, first start the electric push rod 2 to extend and drive the U-shaped frame 3 to move downward. During the downward movement of the U-shaped frame 3, the middle frame 5 moves downward synchronously. At the same time, the clamping plate 7 on it moves downward with the frame 5 and the U-shaped plate 14 moves downward synchronously. The U-shaped plate 14 moves down to the same horizontal height as the excavator chassis.
[0028] S2: After the U-shaped plate 14 moves to the designated position, the two electric push rods 6 are activated simultaneously to extend and drive the two clamping plates 7 to move closer to each other. When the two clamping plates 7 move closer to each other, the U-shaped plate 14 on it moves and clamps the two sides of the excavator base plate through the stepped clamping blocks 15 inside.
[0029] S3: After the clamping operation of the excavator chassis is completed, the electric push rod 2 is activated to retract. During the retraction process, the excavator chassis will move upward. When it reaches the top, the drive motor 11 is activated to drive the gear 12 to rotate. When the gear 12 rotates, it will drive the external gear ring 13 that meshes with it to rotate. During its rotation, it will drive the shaft 4 connected to it to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the frame 5 to rotate. While the frame 5 is rotating, it will drive the excavator chassis clamped inside to rotate. After it rotates 180 degrees, the overturning operation of the excavator chassis is completed.
[0030] S4: After the flipping is completed, start the electric push rod 2 to extend it and drive the excavator chassis to move downwards until it is placed back on the workbench. Then release the clamps to fix it.
[0031] Finally, the following points should be noted: In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connection, or internal connection between two components, or direct connection.
