Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of excavating machinery technology, and in particular to a bucket tooth system connection mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of infrastructure construction, mining, and other industries, excavators are being used more frequently and under increasingly complex working conditions. As the part that directly contacts the excavated material, the bucket teeth endure enormous impact forces, frictional forces, and alternating loads during operation. The bucket tooth system's connection mechanism ensures a secure connection between the bucket teeth and the bucket body; its performance directly affects the excavator's work efficiency, operational safety, and operating costs. A good connection mechanism ensures that the bucket teeth do not loosen or fall off during high-intensity operations, maintaining the excavator's continuous and efficient operation. If the connection mechanism is unreliable, the bucket teeth are prone to failure, which can not only interrupt construction progress but also potentially damage equipment and cause safety accidents. Utility Model Content
[0003] Objective: In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a connecting mechanism for a bucket tooth system that is easy to assemble and disassemble and has good stability.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] This utility model provides a bucket tooth system connection mechanism, including a front tooth, a middle tooth, a tooth seat, a first connection component, and a second connection component;
[0006] The front tooth is an open wedge-shaped structure with a first inner cavity for accommodating the middle tooth, and a first through hole is provided on the top surface;
[0007] The middle tooth includes a front insertion part and a rear second inner cavity. The insertion part is inserted into the first inner cavity of the front tooth and a first blind hole is provided at a position corresponding to the first through hole. The first connecting component passes through the through hole on the front tooth and detachably connects the front tooth and the middle tooth through the first blind hole on the middle tooth. The two sides of the middle tooth are symmetrically provided with second through holes.
[0008] The tooth holder includes a front tooth holder head and a rear mounting part. The mounting part is used to install the bucket teeth onto the bucket. The tooth holder head is inserted into the second inner cavity of the middle tooth and has a second blind hole at a position corresponding to the second through hole. The second connecting component passes through the second through hole on the middle tooth and detachably connects the middle tooth and the tooth holder through the second blind hole on the tooth holder.
[0009] The front and middle teeth, as well as the middle tooth and tooth seat, of the bucket tooth system connection mechanism of this utility model are all detachably connected. When there is local wear, the parts can be replaced individually, reducing maintenance costs and time. The first inner cavity of the front tooth and the insertion part of the middle tooth, and the second inner cavity of the middle tooth and the tooth seat head of the tooth seat, all form a nested structure, which facilitates quick and easy alignment of the kit during installation and improves assembly efficiency.
[0010] In some embodiments, the first connecting component includes a first plug, a first plug plate, and a first retaining plate, and a first cavity is formed on the side of the first blind hole;
[0011] The first plug plate and the first clamping plate are two-stage stepped structures. The first clamping plate is installed in the first cavity through the first blind hole, and the first plug plate is installed on the first clamping plate.
[0012] The first plunger is installed on the first plunger plate after passing through the first through hole.
[0013] In some embodiments, the first through hole is elliptical, and after the first plug plate is installed on the first card plate, the total length of the two is greater than the length of the major axis of the first through hole.
[0014] The first stopper plate, the first clamping plate, and the first stopper pin are connected to form a whole. The first clamping plate is clamped in the first cavity of the middle tooth, and the first stopper pin is in the first through hole of the front tooth. During the operation of the bucket tooth system, the effective connection between the front tooth and the middle tooth can be guaranteed.
[0015] The first through hole is elliptical, and the first plug is installed on the first plug plate through the first through hole. This makes the first plug and the first through hole fit together. During the operation of the bucket teeth, the impact stress can be dispersed by a small displacement, which improves the stability of the structure.
[0016] In some embodiments, a countersunk hole is provided on the bottom surface of the first stopper plate, and the first stopper is installed on the first stopper plate after being sunk into the countersunk hole.
[0017] In some embodiments, the second step of the first card plate is provided with a first arc surface, and when the first plug plate is installed on the first card plate, the kick surface of the first step of the first plug plate is in contact with the first arc surface.
[0018] The design of the first arc surface facilitates quick positioning when the first stopper plate is installed on the first clamping plate, reducing assembly time.
[0019] In some embodiments, two first through holes are provided, which are opened opposite to each other on the upper and lower surfaces of the front teeth; on the upper and lower surfaces of the insertion part at the front end of the middle teeth, two first blind holes are opened at positions corresponding to the two first through holes, and a first cavity is opened on the side of each of the two first blind holes.
[0020] The arrangement of two sets of corresponding first through holes and first blind holes allows the first connecting assembly to detachably connect the front tooth and the middle tooth through either the first blind hole or the first through hole.
[0021] In some embodiments, the second connecting component includes a second plug, a second plug plate, and a second retaining plate, and a second cavity is formed on the side of the second through hole;
[0022] The second plunger passes through the second through hole and is placed inside the second blind hole;
[0023] The second card plate and the second plug plate are two-stage stepped structures. The second card plate is installed in the second cavity through the second through hole, and the second plug plate is placed in the second through hole and installed on the second card plate.
[0024] In some embodiments, the second through hole is elliptical, and after the second plug plate is installed on the second card plate, the total length of the two is greater than the length of the major axis of the second through hole.
[0025] In some embodiments, the length of the second plug is greater than the depth of the second blind hole.
[0026] The second plug plate and the second clamping plate are connected to form a whole. The second clamping plate is clamped in the second cavity of the middle tooth to prevent the second plug from falling out. The second plug is in the second blind hole of the tooth seat, and the length of the second plug is greater than the depth of the second blind hole, which ensures the effective connection between the middle tooth and the tooth seat.
[0027] The second through hole is elliptical. During the operation of the bucket tooth system, the second plug and the second through hole form a movable fit. During the operation of the bucket teeth, the impact stress can be dispersed through slight displacement, which improves the stability of the structure.
[0028] In some embodiments, the second step of the second card plate is provided with a second arc surface, and when the second plug plate is installed on the second card plate, the kick surface of the first step of the second plug plate is in contact with the second arc surface.
[0029] The design of the second arc surface facilitates quick positioning when the second stopper plate is installed on the second clamping plate, reducing assembly time.
[0030] In some embodiments, two first blind holes are provided, which are opened opposite to each other on the upper and lower surfaces of the front end of the middle tooth. The sides of the two first blind holes are provided with first cavities. The first connecting component can detachably connect the front tooth and the middle tooth through either of the first blind holes. The second through holes and the second connecting component designed symmetrically on the middle tooth enable the middle tooth to be used in a 180° orientation change, which balances the wear on the upper and lower sides and extends the service life of the component.
[0031] Therefore, similar to the middle tooth, the first through holes on the upper and lower surfaces of the front tooth, together with the first connecting component, enable the front tooth to be used in a 180° orientation change, which balances the wear on the upper and lower sides and extends the service life of the component.
[0032] Beneficial effects:
[0033] 1. In the connecting mechanism of this bucket tooth system, the front tooth, middle tooth and tooth seat are assembled in sections through detachable connecting components. The modular design makes disassembly and assembly more convenient, maintenance faster, and reduces maintenance costs and time.
[0034] 2. The first and second connecting components form a double fixation, which disperses the stress load and improves the structural reliability during excavation operations;
[0035] 3. The nested connection structure can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force during excavation, reduce the risk of loosening of the connectors, and adapt to high-intensity working environments. Attached Figure Description
