Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of excavator technology, and relates to an excavator boom, specifically an excavator boom that is welded together. Background Technology

[0002] The boom is the connecting component between the front frame and the bucket of a backhoe loader, and it is a critical load-bearing and rotational hub for loading operations. Due to the large size of the boom of a large excavator, manufacturing it as a single piece would present difficulties in processing and handling. If it is manufactured separately and welded, the weld joints are prone to breakage under load. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the content in the background art, this utility model provides an excavator boom that is welded together, which includes a first upper cover plate, a second upper cover plate, a third upper cover plate, a first lower cover plate, a second lower cover plate, a third lower cover plate, two first side plates, two second side plates, two third side plates, two front connecting plates, two rear connecting plates, a front U-shaped plate, and a rear U-shaped plate.

[0004] The first upper cover plate, the second upper cover plate, and the third upper cover plate are welded to each other in sequence, and the first lower cover plate, the second lower cover plate, and the third lower cover plate are welded to each other in sequence. The two open ends of the front U-shaped plate are welded to the first upper cover plate and the first lower cover plate, respectively. The two first side plates are arranged opposite each other, the two second side plates are arranged opposite each other, and the two third side plates are arranged opposite each other. The two ends of the second side plate are welded to the adjacent first side plate and the adjacent third side plate, respectively.

[0005] Each first side plate has a front connecting plate welded to its front end face, that is, there are two front connecting plates arranged opposite each other. The front connecting plates are also welded to the front U-shaped plate.

[0006] The top surface of the first side plate is simultaneously welded to the front U-shaped plate, the first upper cover plate, and the second upper cover plate; the bottom surface of the first side plate is simultaneously welded to the front U-shaped plate and the first lower cover plate. The top surface of the second side plate is welded to the second upper cover plate; the bottom surface of the second side plate is simultaneously welded to the first lower cover plate, the second lower cover plate, and the third lower cover plate. The top surface of the third side plate is simultaneously welded to the second upper cover plate and the third upper cover plate; the bottom surface of the third side plate is welded to the third lower cover plate.

[0007] The tail ends of the third upper cover plate and the third lower cover plate are respectively provided with U-shaped notches. The rear U-shaped plate is set in the U-shaped notch and is simultaneously welded to the third upper cover plate and the third lower cover plate. Each third side plate is provided with a rear connecting plate at the rear, that is, there are also two rear connecting plates arranged opposite each other. The rear connecting plates are simultaneously welded to the third upper cover plate, the third lower cover plate, the rear U-shaped plate and the corresponding third side plate.

[0008] This staggered welding connection between the upper and lower cover plates and the side plates ensures the overall buckling strength of the excavator boom, prevents breakage at the weld, and guarantees the load-bearing capacity of the boom.

[0009] Furthermore, two opposing central connecting plates are welded to the top surface of the second upper cover plate. Of course, each of the connecting plates is provided with shaft holes for connecting with other components such as the excavator frame, bucket, and hydraulic cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the excavator boom assembled by the above-mentioned welding also includes two arc-shaped sealing plates. The rear connecting plate is simultaneously welded to the third upper cover plate, the third lower cover plate, the rear U-shaped plate, and the corresponding third side plate through the corresponding arc-shaped sealing plates. That is, the arc-shaped sealing plates are first welded to the third upper cover plate, the third lower cover plate, the rear U-shaped plate, and the corresponding third side plate simultaneously to "seal" the joint. The rear connecting plate is then welded to the corresponding arc-shaped sealing plate. This indirect welding structure of the arc-shaped sealing plates can improve the welding stability of the rear connecting plate.

[0011] Preferably, partitions are provided between the front connecting plate and the corresponding first side plate, between the first side plate and the adjacent second side plate, and between the second side plate and the adjacent third side plate. The front connecting plate, the first side plate, the second side plate, and the third side plate each have an inclined surface on the end face at the corresponding partition. Two adjacent inclined surfaces are welded to the end face of the corresponding partition at the same time. In this way, the welding surface formed by the two inclined surfaces and the end face of the corresponding partition can form a large weld contact area to ensure weld quality and welding strength. The welded partition can also act as a reinforcing plate in the structure of the boom.

[0012] Through the above technical solutions, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The excavator boom described in this application has a modular structure, consisting of multiple cover plates, side plates, connecting plates, and U-shaped plates welded together. This allows for modular manufacturing, facilitating handling and assembly, and reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, its staggered welded connection method ensures the overall buckling strength of the excavator boom, prevents breakage at the weld joints, and guarantees the load-bearing capacity of the boom.
