[0002] A hydraulic breaker is an attachment for excavators, commonly used for breaking rocks and road surfaces. When excavators are used for tunnel excavation, it is necessary to break rocks inside the tunnel, thus requiring frequent adjustments to the breaker's angle. The breaker is connected to the piston rod of the bucket cylinder on the excavator's boom via a rocker arm and connecting rod. The angle of the breaker is controlled by the bucket cylinder. When the breaker strikes rocks, the irregular shape of the rocks and the vibration of the breaker cause it to swing significantly. If the piston rod of the bucket cylinder is at its maximum or minimum stroke position at this time, the piston rod is easily pulled or squeezed, reducing the service life of the bucket cylinder.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] A typical embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a limit structure for a bucket cylinder of an excavator includes a boom 1 and a breaker hammer 2. The boom 1 and the breaker hammer 2 are connected by a pin. Specifically, a front support is provided at the front end of the boom 1, and a bearing is provided at the end of the breaker hammer 2 near the boom 1. The front support is rotatably connected to the lower part of the bearing by a pin, allowing the breaker hammer 2 to rotate around the pin. A rocker arm 3 and a connecting rod 4 are also connected between the boom 1 and the breaker hammer 2. A middle support is also provided at the front end of the boom 1, located near the front support. One end of the rocker arm 3 is rotatably connected to the middle support by a pin, and the other end is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 4 by a pin. The end of the connecting rod 4 away from the rocker arm 3 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the bearing. The rocker arm 3 and the connecting rod 4 can drive the breaker hammer 2 to move.

[0025] It is known that there are two rocker arms 3, which are parallel to each other and located on both sides of the stick 1. The two rocker arms 3 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 4 through a pin.

[0026] The top of the boom 1 is also equipped with a bucket cylinder 5. The rear end of the boom 1 is symmetrically equipped with ear plates 6. The cylinder of the bucket cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the ear plates 6. The piston rod of the bucket cylinder 5 is hinged on the pin between the rocker arm 3 and the connecting rod 4. When the piston rod of the bucket cylinder 5 extends or retracts, it can drive the rocker arm 3 and the connecting rod 4 to move, thereby driving the breaker hammer 2 to rotate around the pin.

[0027] The top of the boom 1 is also equipped with an upper limit position 7, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the upper limit position 7 includes two limit blocks 71. The two limit blocks 71 are symmetrically arranged at the end of the cylinder of the bucket cylinder 5 away from the ear plate 6 and are at a set distance from the cylinder of the bucket cylinder 5. The two limit blocks 71 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two rockers 3, and the side wall of the two limit blocks 71 near the two rockers 3 is adapted to the rockers 3.

[0028] When the piston rod of the bucket cylinder 5 retracts, it drives the connecting rod 4 and the rocker arm 3 to move, causing the breaker hammer 2 to rotate. Before reaching the minimum stroke of the cylinder, the rocker arm 3 first contacts the limit block 71. The limit block 71 supports the rocker arm 3 and prevents the piston rod from retracting further. By setting two limit blocks 71 corresponding to the two rocker arms 3 respectively, the contact area between the limit block 71 and the rocker arm 3 can be increased, the concentrated stress can be reduced, and the impact can be buffered by the limit block 71 and transmitted to the stick 1.

[0029] The two limiting blocks 71 are spaced apart by a set distance, allowing the piston rod to pass between them without interfering with the movement of the piston rod. A support rod 72 is also connected between the two limiting blocks 71, located below the piston rod, and will not interfere with its movement. During the process of limiting the rocker arm 3 and the connecting rod 4, the two limiting blocks 71 will generate an inward torque. By setting the support rod 72 between the two limiting blocks 71, the lateral stress caused by the impact can be effectively relieved, preventing cracking.

[0030] The bottom of the boom 1 is provided with a lower limit 8, which is located at the end of the boom 1 near the breaker 2, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the lower limit 8 is V-shaped and is formed by bending a steel plate. The side wall of the lower limit 8 near the breaker 2 is adapted to the side wall of the breaker 2.

[0031] When the piston rod of the bucket cylinder 5 extends, it drives the connecting rod 4 and the rocker arm 3 to move, causing the breaker hammer 2 to rotate. Before reaching the maximum stroke of the cylinder, the side wall of the breaker hammer 2 first contacts the side wall of the lower limit 8. The lower limit 8 supports the breaker hammer 2 and prevents the piston rod from extending further. The impact on the breaker hammer 2 is transmitted to the lower limit 8, so that the piston rod of the cylinder will not be subjected to an outward stretching force due to the impact on the breaker hammer 2.

[0032] Both ends of the lower limit position 8 are provided with side plates 81. The shape of the side plates 81 is adapted to the shape of the end face of the lower limit position 8. The side plates 81 are welded and fixed inside both ends of the lower limit position 8 to support the lower limit position 8. By setting the side plates 81, the structural strength of the lower limit position 8 can be increased, enabling the lower limit position 8 to withstand greater impact and effectively protect the oil cylinder.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
