Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grabs, and in particular to an energy-saving servo hydraulic grab. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of mechanized loading, unloading and handling of bulk materials (such as ore, coal, construction waste, etc.), the grab bucket is the core equipment, and its grabbing performance directly affects the operating efficiency and the integrity of the materials.

[0003] Traditional grab buckets typically employ planar or regularly curved surface designs for their claws, which present significant limitations during the grabbing process. Firstly, these surfaces struggle to conform to the irregular shapes of materials, resulting in a small actual contact area and excessively high local pressure. This can easily lead to material breakage (e.g., brittle ores) or slippage (e.g., loose sand and gravel), especially when grabbing tilted, stacked, or uneven materials, significantly reducing the success rate. Secondly, regularly curved surfaces lack adaptive deformation capabilities, failing to dynamically adjust the contact pattern with the material and limiting compatibility with materials of different sizes and shapes. Furthermore, the smooth surface of traditional claws makes it easy for material to remain between wet or sticky materials (e.g., clay, silt), requiring frequent manual cleaning, disrupting operational continuity, and potentially causing claw jamming after the residue hardens, increasing equipment failure rates. While some existing technologies attempt to increase grabbing force by increasing the number of claws or optimizing the closing angle, they do not fundamentally resolve the contradiction between contact pattern and material adaptability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new claw design that can achieve efficient gripping and reduce material damage and residue through structural innovation, so as to meet the diverse material handling needs under complex working conditions. Utility Model Content

[0009] A hydraulic drive structure, wherein several hydraulic drive structures are connected to several claw flaps via a transmission, for driving several claw flaps to close inward or open outward.

[0010] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, a notch is formed on both sides of each claw flap.

[0011] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the notch is a "V" shaped structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the claw flap 2 dynamically conforms to the irregular shape of the material through an irregular arc surface, increasing the actual contact area and dispersing local pressure, thus significantly reducing the risk of material slippage and breakage.

[0032] In this embodiment, the irregular arc surface structure provides the claw petals 2 with micro-deformation space, which can adaptively adjust the contact shape with the material, and realize compatible gripping of irregularly shaped materials such as sheet, block, and strip.

[0033] In this embodiment, the irregular arc surface structure and the mechanical properties of the gripping action form a material guiding channel during the closing and opening process, allowing residual material to slide naturally along the arc surface, reducing the amount of residue and effectively avoiding the jamming of claw 2 caused by the solidification of damp and sticky materials.

[0034] In this embodiment, the irregular arc surface structure optimizes pressure distribution, reduces material resistance during closure, lowers the energy consumption of the hydraulic drive structure, and disperses friction to extend the service life of the claw flap 2, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a notch 22 is formed on both sides of each claw petal 2. The notch 22 design allows the claw petal to more flexibly conform to the contour of the material surface. Especially for irregularly shaped materials such as ores and coal, the notch 22 can be fitted with the edge of the material to form a more stable gripping shape and reduce the risk of material slippage.

[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the notch 22 is a "V" shaped structure.

[0037] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the hydraulic drive structure includes: a plurality of hydraulic cylinders 3, one end of the plurality of hydraulic cylinders 3 being hinged to the outer side of a plurality of claw flaps 2, and the other end being hinged to the top side of the frame 1.

[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the hydraulic control system is a hydraulic servo system, which is an existing mature system, and this application will not elaborate on its specific structure and principle.

[0040] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, each of the claw flaps 2 has a tooth tip 4 at the other end.

[0041] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the tooth tip 4 has a pointed structure, which facilitates the gripping of materials.

[0042] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the tooth tip 4 is detachably connected to the claw flap 2. As a wear-prone component, when the tooth tip 4 wears out, it can be directly replaced due to the detachable connection between the tooth tip 4 and the claw flap 2, without having to replace the entire claw flap 2, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0043] Preferably, one end of the tooth tip 4 can be over-insulated into the other end of the claw flap 2.

[0044] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a cylinder 11 is formed on the frame 1, and the hydraulic servo system is located inside the cylinder 11, which serves to protect the hydraulic servo system.
