[0024] Example

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a connecting device suitable for the underframe of an excavator, comprising:

[0026] The load-bearing mechanism 100 includes a fastener 101;

[0027] The snap-fit ​​mechanism 200 is placed on the bearing mechanism 100 to realize quick connection and limit fixation between the lower frame and the main body.

[0028] Specifically, the load-bearing mechanism 100 includes a fixing member 101. The fixing member 101 is provided with a base 1011, a fixing block 1012 and a positioning pin 1013. The base 1011 is used to connect with the main body of the excavator. The fixing block 1012 is provided on the base 1011. The positioning pin 1013 passes through the fixing block 1012 and is used to position and cooperate with the lower frame connection part.

[0029] It should be noted that the fixing component 101 in the bearing mechanism 100 is stably connected to the main body of the excavator through the base 1011. The fixing block 1012 is set on the base 1011 as a limit and installation base. The positioning pin 1013 passes through the fixing block 1012 and plays a guiding and precise positioning role during the assembly of the lower frame, ensuring the centering and stability of the connection structure and improving the overall connection strength and reliability.

[0030] Specifically, the locking mechanism 200 includes a limiting component 201 and a hooking component 202. The limiting component 201 is used to limit the relative displacement of the lower frame in the connected state, and the hooking component 202 is used to realize the mechanical connection and disassembly operation between the lower frame and the main body.

[0031] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​mechanism 200 achieves rapid assembly and disassembly between the underframe and the main body through the coordinated cooperation of the limiting component 201 and the hook-up component 202; the limiting component 201 provides lateral limiting function, while the hook-up component 202 completes the longitudinal connection. The two work together to form a stable three-dimensional connection structure, which significantly improves the connection safety and operation convenience of the equipment under complex working conditions.

[0032] Specifically, the limiting component 201 includes a limiting block 2011 and a bolt 2012. The limiting block 2011 is adjustablely mounted on the fixing block 1012 by the bolt 2012, and is used to limit and lock the connecting end face of the lower frame to prevent loosening or misalignment during operation.

[0033] It should be noted that the limiting block 2011 in the limiting component 201 is adjustablely mounted on the fixing block 1012 by bolts 2012, and its position can be finely adjusted according to different undercarriage structures to adapt to the installation requirements of various models; after the component is attached, it effectively locks the end face of the undercarriage to prevent loosening or misalignment caused by vibration or external impact, and ensures the connection stability during equipment operation.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting assembly 202 includes a fixing plate 2021 and a hook 2022. The fixing plate 2021 is fixedly connected to the underframe body, and the hook 2022 is located at one end of the fixing plate 2021 and is used to engage with the limiting block 2011 to achieve quick assembly and disassembly.

[0035] It should be noted that the mounting assembly 202 forms a mechanical connection structure with the hook 2022 through the fixing plate 2021. The fixing plate 2021 is firmly welded or screwed to the underframe body, and the hook 2022 is designed as an arc or L-shaped structure, which facilitates quick engagement with the limit block 2011 and axial positioning, making the connection between the underframe and the main body simpler and more efficient, and suitable for frequent disassembly and assembly operations.

[0036] Specifically, an anti-detachment structure is provided between the hook 2022 and the limit block 2011. After the hook is attached, it is locked by bolt 2012 to ensure that the connection device can maintain a stable connection under high-intensity working conditions, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0037] It should be noted that the hook 2022 and the limit block 2011 are equipped with an anti-detachment structure, such as a slot or elastic locking pin, which is a mechanical anti-detachment design. After the hook is connected, it is further locked by the bolt 2012 to form a double safety guarantee mechanism. This ensures that the connection device can maintain a stable connection under high-intensity working conditions, thereby effectively improving the safety and reliability of the whole machine and meeting the requirements of construction machinery for high load and complex environment.

[0038] In use, the bearing mechanism 100 is first installed on the excavator body via the base 1011. The fixing block 1012 is placed on the base 1011, and the positioning pin 1013 is used to accurately position and guide the connection part of the underframe. The positioning pin 1013 passes through the fixing block 1012 to ensure that the underframe can be accurately aligned during assembly, avoiding unstable connection or uneven force due to misalignment. The locking mechanism 200 is set on the bearing mechanism 100 and mainly includes the limiting component 201 and the hooking component 202. In actual operation, the user welds or screws the fixing plate 2021 in the hooking component 202 to the underframe body, and the hook 2022 is set on the fixing plate 202. One end of hook 2021 has an L-shaped or arc-shaped structure, which facilitates quick engagement with the limit block 2011. After engagement, the limit block 2011 in the limit assembly 201 provides lateral limitation to the end face of the lower frame, and bolts 2012 are used for locking and fixing to prevent loosening or misalignment during equipment operation. The hook 2022 and the limit block 2011 are provided with an anti-detachment structure, such as a slot, elastic locking pin or other mechanical locking method. After the initial engagement is completed, the first anti-detachment protection is formed, and the second locking structure is formed by locking with bolts 2012, thus forming a double safety protection mechanism to ensure that the entire connection device can maintain a stable and reliable connection state under high-intensity operating conditions.

[0039] In summary, by setting up a cooperative structure between the load-bearing mechanism 100 and the snap-fit ​​mechanism 200, the lower frame can be quickly positioned and securely connected. The positioning pin 1013 improves the alignment of the assembly. The limiting component 201 and the hook-fit component 202 form a three-dimensional limiting and locking structure, which effectively enhances the connection stability and vibration resistance. The anti-detachment design further ensures the connection safety under high-intensity working conditions, thereby solving the technical problems of inconvenient disassembly and assembly, inaccurate positioning, and poor structural reliability of traditional connection methods.
