Excavator is a general-purpose heavy machinery and equipment, which is widely used in various construction projects, such as earthwork, mining, and construction. The bucket of the excavator is an important working device, and the correct installation and use of the bucket can improve the working efficiency and safety of the excavator. However, in the process of excavator bucket installation, there are often some problems to pay attention to, which may affect the service life and working effect of the excavator.
1. Inaccurate installation of the bucket line: the installation position and angle of the excavator bucket line is very important, inaccurate installation will lead to the existence of a gap between the bucket and the excavator body, affecting the working effect of the bucket. At the same time, inaccurate installation may also lead to the bucket in the working process skewed, affecting the stability and safety of the bucket.
2. Bucket teeth fixed insecure: excavator bucket teeth is an important accessory on the excavator bucket, it is directly in contact with the excavated material, and its fixed firmness is directly related to the service life of the excavator bucket and the working effect. If the bucket teeth are not firmly fixed, it is easy to lose teeth, broken teeth, etc., which not only affects the working efficiency of the excavator, but also increases the maintenance cost.
3. Bucket liner wear: Bucket liner is a layer of protective plate on the inner wall of the excavator bucket, which can reduce the direct abrasion of the bucket material on the bucket wall and extend the service life of the bucket. However, due to the complexity of the excavator’s working environment, the bucket liner is often susceptible to wear and impact, and needs to be regularly inspected and replaced to ensure the normal operation of the bucket.
4. Bucket hydraulic cylinder oil leakage: the hydraulic cylinder of the excavator bucket is an important part to control the opening and closing and tilting of the bucket, if there is oil leakage in the hydraulic cylinder, it will lead to the bucket not being able to operate normally, which will seriously affect the working efficiency of the excavator. Therefore, excavator bucket manufacturers emphasize that after the installation of the excavator bucket, the sealing status of the hydraulic cylinder must be carefully checked, and the oil leakage problem must be found and eliminated in time.
5. Loose bucket chain: excavator bucket chain is the connecting part between the bucket and the excavator connecting rod, which plays the role of transferring the working force and preventing the excavator bucket from falling off. If the bucket chain is improperly installed or loose, it will lead to the bucket chain can not give full play to its role, and in serious cases, it will also cause safety accidents. Therefore, after the excavator bucket is installed, it needs to be installed and adjusted correctly according to the specification of the bucket chain to ensure the normal work of the bucket chain.
6. Bucket center of gravity imbalance: the center of gravity of the excavator bucket refers to the location of the center of gravity of the material on the bucket, which is directly related to the balance and stability of the excavator bucket. If the bucket center of gravity is unbalanced, it will lead to the excavator bucket shaking, tilting or even tipping in the work, seriously endangering personal safety. Therefore, after the bucket is installed, excavator bucket manufacturers remind that the center of gravity of the bucket must be ensured to balance the center of gravity of the bucket, by adjusting the distribution of materials in the excavator bucket, to avoid the occurrence of unbalanced center of gravity.
7. Bucket rotary reference is not accurate: the rotary reference of the excavator bucket refers to the rotary center position of the bucket when the excavator is working. If the rotary reference is inaccurate, it will lead to the excavator bucket can not be accurately positioned in the work, affecting the excavator’s work precision and efficiency. Therefore, after the bucket is installed, it needs to be adjusted and calibrated according to the requirements of the excavator manufacturer and the actual working conditions to ensure that the rotary reference of the bucket is accurate.
8. Bucket rod, bucket handle wear: excavator bucket rod and bucket handle are important support parts on the excavator bucket, they are responsible for bearing the weight and working force of the bucket. If there is wear and tear on the bucket rod and shank, it will cause the excavator bucket to be unstable and easy to break, which will seriously affect the working effect and safety of the excavator. Therefore, after the bucket is installed, it is necessary to regularly check the wear of the bucket rod and shank, and replace the damaged parts in time to ensure the normal use of the excavator bucket.
In short, after the excavator bucket installation, you need to pay attention to the accuracy of the bucket line installation, the firmness of the bucket teeth fixing, the wear of the bucket liner, the oil leakage problem of the bucket hydraulic cylinder, the loosening of the bucket chain, the balance of the bucket center of gravity, the accuracy of the bucket rotary reference, as well as the wear of the bucket rods and shanks, and other issues. By paying careful attention to and solving these problems, the working efficiency and safety of the excavator can be improved and the service life of the excavator can be prolonged.
