Bucket is the most widely used working device in excavator operation, and it is also the working part with the largest load in the process of excavator excavation. In other words, the reinforcement of the bucket plays a very important role in the normal operation of the excavator.
Some data show that an excavator consumes an average of 4-5 buckets in 8 years. Especially in the stonework construction environment, the bucket wears faster, so the bucket of the excavator is a consumable accessory. When the bucket is worn to a certain extent, the excavator master should reinforce the bucket in time, which can effectively improve its service life.
In the process of bucket reinforcement, Xiaobian found that most excavator masters have misunderstandings. It is generally believed that they only need to weld a pile of steel plates at will. In fact, such blind reinforcement of the bucket does more harm than good to the excavator itself. Strengthening the bucket needs to master scientific reinforcement methods.
1. Be careful to reinforce the excavator bucket and do not operate blindly
The manufacturing technology of excavator has a development history of more than 100 years, and the bucket technology has been very mature. Without excessive wear of the bucket, a wide range of welding reinforcing plates will destroy the stress of the bucket itself, increase the excavation resistance, and sometimes accelerate the wear and cracking of the bucket.
If the bucket is protected in an all-round way, it will increase the weight of the bucket. A heavy bucket will not only increase the fuel consumption of the equipment, but also have a considerable impact on the service life of the equipment under high load. Therefore, if the bucket is seriously worn, it should be properly reinforced locally, rather than blindly.
2. Pay attention to the reinforcement of excavator bucket
Technicians with excellent welding technology are required to weld to ensure firm and effective welding. Partial welding shall be carried out at the parts most in need of strengthening instead of overall welding to avoid reducing the efficiency of the excavator and increasing the fuel consumption.
3. Experience in excavator bucket reinforcement
Regularly observe the wear degree of the edge knife, bottom plate, side plate and tooth root of the bucket, and reinforce these places if necessary.
It is very necessary to reinforce the tooth root mounting plate. The reinforcement can be by sticking stiffeners or wrapping wear-resistant blocks; The edge knife can be installed on the edge plate and side to protect the edge plate and reduce the wear of the edge plate.
It is also very necessary to strengthen the bottom plate. The stiffeners of the bottom plate should select hard and wear-resistant long plates as raw materials, and protect the overall shape of the bucket to avoid affecting the cutting angle and productivity.
4. Keep good operation habits
The standard operation habits of the excavator master can not only improve the work efficiency, but also reduce the wear speed of the bucket and protect the bucket.
