Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of excavator protection, and more specifically, to an excavator safety protection device. Background Technology
[0002] An excavator, also known as a digger, is an earthmoving machine that uses a bucket to excavate materials above or below the machine's bearing surface and load them into transport vehicles or unload them into a stockpile. Hydraulic excavators are one of the important pieces of machinery in modern engineering construction, widely used in bridges, roads, building construction, water conservancy, ports, forestry, and other fields. The use of excavators has greatly reduced manual labor and, while ensuring construction quality, significantly shortened earthmoving construction time and improved work efficiency. However, due to the influence of the working environment, when excavators are working in complex, harsh, or even dangerous environments, especially when there is a risk of falling objects from heights, the operator's safety cannot be effectively guaranteed due to the limitations of the excavator cab's protective conditions. Therefore, a safety protection device for the excavator cab is needed to enhance the protection of the operator's personal safety.
[0003] Existing excavator safety devices are inadequate for protecting the operator; and they also fail to provide shock absorption during operation.
[0004] Chinese patent application CN202322917345.0 discloses a safety protection device for an excavator, including an excavator body. A moving device is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the excavator body, and a protective device is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the excavator body. The protective device includes a screw, the outer wall of which is threaded into the inner cavity of the excavator body. This invention uses the screw to fix a support plate to the upper surface of the excavator body. A spring and a telescopic rod provide a buffer space between the top plate and the support plate. A reinforcing plate increases the device's strength, thus protecting the driver from falling objects. A sealing ring prevents corrosion of the parts between the support plate and the top plate, increasing their service life and ultimately ensuring the driver's safety.
[0005] The above-mentioned solution has the following shortcomings: When in use, the glass windows inside the protective device are exposed, making it difficult to protect against falling objects, thus reducing safety and the practicality of the device. At the same time, the sides of the driver's cab are not easily protected, thus reducing the effectiveness of the protection. Utility Model Content

The slide rod is slidably connected to the first protective plate, the slider is connected to the slide rod, the slider is slidably connected to the first protective plate, the slider is snap-fitted to the mounting frame, and the two ends of the second spring are respectively connected to the first protective plate and the slider.
[0011] In the above implementation process, the use of slide bars, sliders, and a second spring makes it easy to disassemble and replace the mounting frame and grille, thus improving work efficiency.
[0012] In one specific implementation, a pull block is provided at one end of the slide bar.
[0013] In the above implementation process, by setting a pull block at one end of the slide bar, the user can easily pull the slide bar, saving time and effort.
[0014] In one specific implementation, a rubber pad is provided on one side of the top plate, and the rubber pad is connected to the top plate by bolts.
[0015] In the above implementation process, the setting of rubber pads and bolts facilitates further cushioning and also makes it easy to disassemble and replace the rubber pads.
[0016] In one specific implementation, a stabilizing plate is provided on one side of the first protective plate.
[0017] In the above implementation process, by setting a stabilizing plate on one side of the first protective plate, the first protective plate can be made more stable, and the first protective plate can be prevented from tilting and collapsing when it is impacted.
[0018] In one specific implementation, a mounting block is provided on one side of both the first protective plate and the second protective plate, and the mounting block has a through mounting hole.
