Most excavator users believe that the thicker the excavator bucket, the longer the life, the more powerful it is. Therefore, when the bucket needs to be reinforced, a large amount of steel is welded around the bucket and put a layer of thicker into the bucket. Thick armor. But have you ever thought that if the bucket is protected in multiple directions, the weight of the bucket for each bucket will inevitably increase. The heavy bucket will not only increase the fuel consumption of the machine, but also have a high load operation to the machine life. A considerable impact. Therefore, if the bucket has serious wear and tear, it should be appropriately reinforced to the local area in a targeted manner.
Excavator bucket reinforcement experience sharing
Under general circumstances, the edge knife, bottom plate, side plate, and tooth root of the bucket are relatively large areas, so when you regularly observe the wear level of these places, some situation Next, we need to strengthen the treatment of these places.
Tooth root reinforcement: The strengthening of the tooth root installation plate is very important. In daily work, due to poor strengthening of the excavator, severe wear will occur at the tooth roots. If the bucket teeth cannot be installed in the long run. There are two solutions for reinforcement here, one is to attach reinforcement ribs , and the other is to package the consumption block. It should be noted that the method of attaching reinforcement ribs is simple and economical, but when welding, you should be careful not to weld with the welds of the tooth roots, as this will affect the welding strength of the tooth roots.
Edge plate and side reinforcement: The violent wear of the edge plate will reduce the effective bucket capacity of the bucket and affect productivity. At the same time, the edge knife also plays a role in cutting into the material and protecting the edge plate, so the edge knife needs to be installed on the digging bucket. Since the sides are not high wear areas, the reinforcement of the sides does not need to be too strong to avoid affecting the overall weight of the bucket.
Base plate reinforcement: The base plate is an area with severe wear, and it is also very important for base plate reinforcement. The reinforcement ribs of the base plate should be selected as the raw materials. The overall shape of the bucket should be protected to avoid affecting the cutting angle. Affects production capacity. It should be noted that the welding of the reinforcement ribs should be welded on the two plates in the direction of the welding of the original reinforcement plate.
Good operating habits can also extend the life of the bucket
Digging is the main task of the excavator. There are also many skills when driving the excavator to dig, which can directly affect the efficiency of the work. When digging soil, the main rod cylinder is the oil cylinder, and the auxiliary boom cylinder is the oil cylinder. The angle of the bucket teeth should be adjusted according to the travel trajectory of the bucket rod. The teeth of the fighting should be "inserted" into the soil like a knife cutting a vegetable, rather than "slap" into the soil. When you insert to a certain depth, complete the gambling and lift the arm. It's a complete digging action.
To strengthen the bucket, you must master the correct method and do not weld the reinforcement plate at random, otherwise it will be too much or too much. I will introduce some precautions on the reinforcement of excavator buckets here, hoping that they will be of reference significance to everyone.
