Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of excavator fuel tank protection technology, and more specifically, it relates to a protective device for excavator fuel tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Excavators, also known as digging machines or excavators, excavate materials mainly such as soil, coal, silt, and pre-loosened soil and rock. They generally consist of a power unit, working device, slewing mechanism, control mechanism, transmission mechanism, traveling mechanism, and auxiliary facilities. The fuel tank is the container on the excavator for storing fuel. During use, the fuel tank often requires protective devices to prevent damage from collisions. Existing protective devices are fixed in place, making replacement cumbersome. Furthermore, the fuel tank is exposed to the elements for extended periods during use, lacking a suitable independent protective mechanism. Additionally, the connection strength between the front and rear housings after assembly needs improvement, as there is a lack of suitable reinforcing connection mechanisms. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a protective device for excavator oil tanks to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, such as the fixed setting of protective devices and the cumbersome operation of replacement.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a protective device for an excavator's fuel tank, comprising a fixing plate, a fuel tank body on the upper surface of the fixing plate, a refueling pipe and a guide pipe respectively penetrating the upper and lower ends of the fuel tank body, the guide pipe penetrating the fixing plate, and a housing detachably provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the fixing plate, with a protective cover detachably provided on the upper end of each of the two housings, a through hole corresponding to the refueling pipe on the protective cover, a limiting plate corresponding to each of the two housings on the fixing plate, a first threaded hole corresponding to each of the two limiting plates, and a second threaded hole symmetrically provided on each of the two housings corresponding to the first threaded hole, the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole being connected by bolts.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that each of the two inner ends of the housing is provided with a locking block, and each of the two limiting plates is provided with a locking groove corresponding to the locking block, so as to facilitate the initial positioning of the housing and the limiting plate.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a reinforcing rod is provided on the rear end face of the front housing, and multiple reinforcing rods are provided. A reinforcing hole is provided on the front end face of the rear housing corresponding to the multiple reinforcing rods to achieve reinforced positioning between the two housings.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that positioning rods are symmetrically provided on the upper end faces of the two housings, positioning holes are provided on the protective cover corresponding to the multiple positioning rods, and positioning rings are provided on the multiple positioning rods. The positioning rings and positioning rods are threadedly connected to realize the installation and locking of the protective cover.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a protective cylinder is detachably provided on the upper end face of the protective cover, and an annular groove is provided on the upper end of the protective cover corresponding to the protective cylinder. The protective cylinder and the annular groove are threadedly connected to provide separate protection for the refueling pipe.

[0011] The present invention is further provided with reinforcing rings on the inner wall of the protective cylinder, and multiple reinforcing rings are spaced apart to improve the protective strength.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that U-shaped plates are detachably provided at both the left and right ends of the two housings, and limiting rods are provided at both the left and right ends of the two housings.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a protective device for excavator fuel tanks, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Through the design of the shell and protective cover, the front and rear shells and the protective cover adopt a split and detachable design. The front and rear shells are installed with corresponding limit plates, and the protective cover is installed with the two shells after assembly to form a complete protective structure, replacing the welding and fixing method of protection, and making it easy to disassemble and replace each component of the protective device individually.

[0016] 2. Through the design of the protective sleeve, the protective sleeve is embedded in the annular groove on the protective cover through a threaded connection, forming an independent wrap-around protection for the refueling pipe. The inner wall is equipped with multiple reinforcing rings, which significantly improves the local pressure resistance and impact resistance. Even in narrow or complex working environments, it can effectively prevent the refueling pipe from being deformed or damaged due to accidental collisions.

[0017] 3. Through the design of the U-shaped plate, the U-shaped plate and the limiting rods on both sides of the shell cooperate with the limiting holes and are pressed and fixed by the limiting rings connected by threads, forming a transverse reinforcement structure, which significantly improves the overall rigidity and stability of the two shells after assembly.
