Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of open-pit mining technology, specifically relating to a special maintenance support for electric shovels. Background Technology
[0002] Electric shovels, as the main equipment in open-pit mining, are primarily used for excavation operations, transporting minerals to designated locations via heavy-duty mining trucks. With advancements in technology, the tonnage of electric shovels has gradually increased, leading to a sharp rise in maintenance difficulty. In particular, overhauling the slewing mechanism of an electric shovel requires first dismantling the nacelle, then replacing the slewing bearing and internal gear ring. Due to the excessive weight of the nacelle (around 300 tons), disassembling the entire nacelle using conventional lifting equipment is simply impossible. The nacelle must be completely disassembled before replacing the slewing bearing and internal gear ring. This not only results in excessively long maintenance times and overly cumbersome procedures, but also introduces various safety hazards, greatly increasing the risk of accidents.
[0003] In view of the above factors, a special maintenance bracket for electric shovels is provided to solve the problem of not being able to lift the shovels from the hull, and to reduce maintenance risks and improve maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, a support base is fixedly provided at one end of the support arm of the maintenance bracket body, and the support base is detachably connected to the maintenance bracket body.
[0010] The support base is a cylindrical concave structure, and the support base cooperates with the hydraulic jack, so that the vertical displacement is formed by the lifting and lowering of the hydraulic jack.
[0011] Furthermore, the recessed structure of the support base mates with the output end of the hydraulic jack, and the diameter of the recessed structure of the support base is larger than the diameter of the output end of the hydraulic jack.
[0012] Furthermore, a force-bearing seat is fixedly provided at the rear end of the force-bearing arm, and the force-bearing seat is welded to the force-bearing arm and extends outward.
[0013] Furthermore, the force-bearing seat is formed of steel structure, and the width of the force-bearing seat extending toward the maintenance bracket body is twice the width of the maintenance bracket body.
[0014] Furthermore, the maintenance bracket body is provided with lifting lugs, which are respectively provided on the lateral end faces of the support arm and the load-bearing arm.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a special maintenance bracket for electric shovels includes a maintenance bracket body 1, which has an "L" shaped structure and is made of steel. The maintenance bracket body 1 includes a support arm 2 and a load-bearing arm 3, which are integrally formed.
[0025] The maintenance bracket body 1 is fixedly provided with a through connection hole 4, which is located at the center between the support arm 2 and the force-bearing arm 3.
[0026] The maintenance bracket body 1 is detachably connected to the boom cylinder base of the electric shovel slewing mechanism.
[0027] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the maintenance bracket body 1 according to the usage status, the maintenance bracket body 1 is installed on the base of the electric shovel boom cylinder through the connecting hole 4 and fixed by the pin shaft, and the maintenance bracket body 1 can rotate along the pin shaft axis.
[0028] To facilitate disassembly and replacement during use, a support base 5 is fixedly provided at one end of the support arm of the maintenance bracket body 1, and the support base 5 is detachably connected to the maintenance bracket body 1.
[0029] The support base 5 is connected to the positioning end of the maintenance bracket body 1 in an interchange manner. The positioning end has an arc-shaped structure with a through hole, and the support base 5 is connected to the through hole by bolts.
[0030] The upper end of the support base 5 is fixedly provided with a connecting ear that cooperates with the positioning end. The connecting ear has a through channel and a through hole that are connected by bolts. The positioning end and the connecting ear are used to avoid interference when the hydraulic jack 6 is raised or lowered.
[0031] The support base 5 is a cylindrical recessed structure, and the support base 5 cooperates with the hydraulic jack 6, so that the vertical displacement is formed by the lifting and lowering of the hydraulic jack 6.
[0032] To facilitate the engagement of the support base with the hydraulic jack 6 during use, the recessed structure of the support base 5 engages with the output end of the hydraulic jack 6, and the diameter of the recessed structure of the support base 5 is larger than the diameter of the output end of the hydraulic jack 6.
[0033] In order to facilitate the transmission of force formed by the compression between the force-bearing seat and the vehicle body upright plate during use, a force-bearing seat 7 is fixedly provided at the rear end of the force-bearing arm 3. The force-bearing seat 7 is welded to the force-bearing arm 3 and extends outward. The force-bearing seat 7 is formed of steel structure, and the width of the force-bearing seat 7 extending towards the maintenance bracket body 1 is twice the width of the maintenance bracket body 1.
[0034] In order to facilitate the use of cranes, forklifts and other lifting machinery to lift objects by wire rope or other means during use, the maintenance support body 1 is provided with lifting lugs 8, which are respectively located on the side end faces of the support arm 2 and the load-bearing arm 3.
[0035] When overhauling the slewing mechanism of the electric shovel, it is installed on the base of the shovel boom cylinder through the connecting hole and fixed by the pin. The special maintenance bracket can rotate axially. The support arm is equipped with a support seat, which is used by the hydraulic jack to support the support seat to form vertical displacement. The support seat has an inward concave structure to prevent the hydraulic jack from dragging when supporting. The rear end of the load arm is equipped with a load seat, which is used to transmit force by pressing the load seat against the vehicle body upright plate. The load seat is welded to the load arm and extends outward to increase the contact area with the vehicle body upright plate. Lifting lugs are welded to the support arm and the load arm respectively for installing special maintenance tools.
[0036] First, remove the boom cylinder of the electric shovel and place the bucket on the ground. Use a crane, forklift, or other lifting machinery to install the connecting holes of the maintenance support body onto the boom cylinder base using wire ropes or lifting slings, and secure it with pins. Then, remove the wire ropes or lifting slings from the lifting lugs of the support arm to make the support arm of the maintenance support body horizontal. Next, use hydraulic traction to lift it to the height of the support seat, and remove the wire ropes or lifting slings from the lifting lugs of the support arm. With four hydraulic jacks working simultaneously, the maintenance support body will move upward, and the entire hull will move upward through force transmission, thus completing the maintenance of the electric shovel's slewing mechanism.
[0037] Each maintenance requires four hydraulic jacks and two maintenance support bodies. Two hydraulic jacks support the rear of the engine compartment, while the other two hydraulic jacks work in conjunction with the maintenance support bodies to support the front of the engine compartment.
