Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of excavator technology, and in particular to an excavator boom angle adjustment mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] As the core actuator of construction machinery, the angle adjustment performance of the excavator boom directly affects the overall operating efficiency of the machine. Traditional manual operation of the excavator boom has a large error and it is difficult to achieve precise adjustment of the excavator boom angle. Therefore, it is necessary to design an excavator boom angle adjustment mechanism.
[0003] To address this, patent CN208934024U discloses an excavator boom, including a main boom. A first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket are fixedly mounted at the middle of the top of the main boom. A connecting hole is fixedly provided at one end of the main boom, and the connecting hole is rotatably connected to one end of the forearm via a pin. A third mounting bracket and a fourth mounting bracket are fixedly provided at the top end of the forearm. This excavator boom, by installing two hydraulic rods, allows for normal use with only one hydraulic rod in operation. If the hydraulic rod is damaged, the other hydraulic rod can be used. Under heavy excavation loads, both hydraulic rods can be used simultaneously. The boom includes an oil tank and absorbent cotton. The absorbent cotton absorbs the lubricating oil flowing out of the oil tank and applies it to the connecting hole. An oil dipstick allows the operator to judge the oil level in the tank by the oil level on the dipstick and add lubricating oil as needed.
[0004] While the excavator boom described above allows for easy addition of lubricating oil during use, it is inconvenient to provide cushioning and protection for the boom when adjusting its angle. This can lead to wear and tear on the boom over time. Therefore, it is necessary to design an excavator boom angle adjustment mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an excavator boom angle adjustment mechanism to solve the defects of existing excavator boom angle adjustment mechanisms, which are inconvenient to buffer and protect the boom when adjusting the boom angle, and will wear down the boom after long-term use.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an excavator boom angle adjustment mechanism, including a mounting bracket;
[0007] Mounting plates are fixed at both ends of the mounting frame, and an arm is hinged to the outer wall of the top side of the mounting frame.
[0008] An adjustment structure is provided on the bottom side of the mounting frame near the arm body;
[0009] The top end of the arm body is provided with a buffer structure, which includes a lower connecting seat, a spring and an upper connecting seat. The lower connecting seat is fixed to the side of the top end of the arm body away from the mounting frame, and the upper connecting seat is fixed to the outer wall of the top of the mounting frame near the side of the arm body. A spring is provided between the lower connecting seat and the upper connecting seat.
[0010] Furthermore, the mounting plates are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the mounting frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment structure includes a lower connecting plate, a lower connecting shaft, a lower connecting ring, a hydraulic rod, an upper connecting plate, an upper connecting ring, and an upper connecting shaft. The lower connecting plates are all fixed to the outer wall of one side of the bottom of the mounting frame. A lower connecting ring is fixed between adjacent lower connecting plates. A lower connecting shaft is sleeved on the outer side of the lower connecting ring. The upper connecting plates are evenly fixed to the side of the bottom of the arm away from the mounting frame. An upper connecting shaft is fixed between adjacent upper connecting plates. An upper connecting ring is sleeved on the outer side of the upper connecting shaft. A hydraulic rod is provided between the upper connecting ring and the lower connecting shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower connecting shaft and the lower connecting ring are rotatably connected, the top end of the hydraulic rod and the bottom end of the upper connecting ring are fixedly connected, and the upper connecting ring and the upper connecting shaft are rotatably connected.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom end of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the top end of the lower connecting shaft, and the top end of the upper connecting plate is slidably connected to the bottom end of the arm. Furthermore, the bottom end of the spring is hinged to the lower connecting seat.
[0014] Furthermore, the top of the spring is hinged to the upper connecting seat.
[0015] The advantages of the excavator boom angle adjustment mechanism provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0016] By incorporating a buffer structure, when the boom's operating angle changes, the spring extends or shortens. When the spring contracts, it absorbs the instantaneous impact force during boom movement, suppressing vibration and reducing vibration caused by sudden load changes or uneven ground during operation. This improves operational comfort, avoids rigid collisions between the boom and the mounting frame, and reduces the risk of structural fatigue. The device thus provides convenient buffer protection for the boom, enhancing the safety of the excavator boom angle adjustment mechanism during use.
[0017] By incorporating an adjustable structure and controlling the extension and retraction of a hydraulic rod, the boom can be raised and lowered smoothly at one end. The boom and mounting frame are hinged, allowing for adjustment of the boom's tilt angle during elevation, ensuring precise adjustment of the working angle. The symmetrically distributed lower connecting shaft and upper connecting ring, as well as the lower connecting ring and upper connecting shaft, reduce boom swaying during movement, improve load capacity, and prevent mechanical wear caused by long-term use. This device facilitates easy adjustment of the boom's working angle, enhancing the convenience and efficiency of the excavator's boom angle adjustment mechanism. Attached Figure Description
