Do you really know the excavator bucket? Let’s take a look at these nine
Release time: 2024-04-30
Excavators are one of the common and uncommon machines in life. They are widely used in urban construction, water conservancy projects, mining operations, and other working conditions. Depending on the work content, different accessories will be used, such as buckets, rippers, breaker hammers, hydraulic tongs, wood grabbers, etc. The excavator can transform into an all-powerful Transformer to complete different operating requirements.
We are all familiar with the bucket, the accessory of the excavator, which is like a big spoon. However, the buckets installed are different according to different work requirements. Today I will tell you about the nine common types of buckets.
The first type, earth fighting
The earthmoving bucket is the bucket we often see, and it is considered a standard feature of small and medium-sized excavators. Standard buckets usually use standard plate thickness, and there is no obvious reinforcement design on the bucket body.
The characteristics are: large bucket mouth area, large bucket volume, and large stacking surface. Therefore, the filling factor is relatively high and the work efficiency is high. Because there is no special reinforcement design, the production cost of standard buckets is relatively low. It is generally suitable for excavation in clay and operating environments with soft sand, soil, gravel, and other materials.
The disadvantage is that because the thickness of the plate is standard and there is no reinforcement and anti-wear design, it is easy to damaged and has a short lifespan (the solution is to install lining plates made of wear-resistant steel plates inside and outside the bucket and on the bucket teeth to increase the lifespan).
The second type, rock bucket
The rock bucket is similar in appearance to the earth bucket, but the rock bucket is made of thickened plates as a whole. The bucket teeth, bucket fins, both sides of the bucket teeth, and the bottom of the bucket are reinforced. In addition, the rock bucket is added with side guards and is equipped with protective equipment. The plate and bucket tooth seat are also made of rock-specific materials. These materials are all made of wear-resistant steel plates or high-strength wear-resistant steel plates, and their strength is 3-5 times that of ordinary steel.
The unique protection and reinforcement of the rock bucket make it highly resistant to wear, pressure, and bending. It is suitable for heavy working environments such as loading of rocks, sub-hard rocks, weathered rocks, solid rocks, and blasted ores. It is widely used in harsh working conditions such as ore mining.
The third type, loose soil bucket
Soil scarifier buckets, as the name suggests, are mainly used to loosen soil. They are equipped with bucket teeth made of high-strength wear-resistant steel plates to reduce wear during soil breaking and increase service life. They are mainly used for crushing and excavation of hard soil, sub-hard rocks, and weathered stones. and loading and other operating environments, usually with single or multiple teeth. The bucket teeth are sharp and easy to break the ground. The disadvantage is that the bucket capacity is relatively small.
The fourth type, cleaning bucket (tilt bucket)
Before talking about the cleaning bucket, let's first talk about the desilting bucket. The desilting bucket is also called a mud bucket. It has no bucket teeth and is wide. It is very suitable for surface trimming of slopes that require large capacity, and dredging of rivers, ditches, etc.
While the tilt bucket has all the features of a mud bucket, it can also control the tilt angle of the rotating bucket through the action of the oil cylinder to adapt to different operating environments. The maximum angle that can be tilted is 45 degrees. The operation can be carried out without changing the position of the excavator, which reduces It reduces mechanical wear and fuel consumption, easily completes precise operations that ordinary buckets cannot complete, and improves work efficiency.
Because it is suitable for trimming slopes and other planes, as well as slope brushing, leveling and other plane rest, and large-capacity dredging and cleaning of rivers and ditches, the tilt bucket is not suitable for heavy work environments such as excavation of hard soil and rocky soil.
The fifth type, ditch bucket
As the name suggests, ditch buckets are mainly used to dig trenches required for water conservancy, roads, agriculture, and some pipelines.
Because of different operating requirements, ditch buckets come in various shapes and widths, such as rectangles, trapezoids, triangles, etc. It is characterized by one-time molding, generally does not require trimming, and has relatively high operating efficiency.
The sixth type, grid bucket
It is similar to a standard bucket in appearance, but the bottom is in the shape of a grid, which is suitable for separating softer excavation materials. Excavation and separation can be completed at one time.
Widely used in municipal administration, agriculture, forestry industry, water conservancy, earth and stone engineering, etc.
The seventh type, grab
According to the shape, grab buckets can be divided into shell grabs and orange-petal grabs. As you can see from the name, shell grabs are composed of two complete buckets just like shells. The orange flap grab has three or more jaws that resemble a peeled orange.
The working principle of the grab bucket is driven by a hydraulic cylinder, which drives the opening and closing action to grab the material and complete the operation. It is suitable for the excavation of foundation pits and deep pits in construction bases and the loading of loose materials such as coal, sand, gravel, and soil, especially in environments with limited space. The grab can be used for excavation and loading on the side.
The disadvantage is that the digging force is weak, not suitable for harder soil, and can only grab loose materials.
The eighth type, thumb clamp
The thumb bucket looks like a human hand. It has a rigid link connected to the excavator stick using a welded bracket.
The front of the bucket is similar to a baffle, which reduces the possibility of materials falling or allows the material to be grabbed directly. The bucket is retracted into the clamp bucket to pick up, grab, sort, and process various types of materials and objects. It is suitable for various working conditions, practical, and safe.
The ninth type, a four-in-one bucket
The four-in-one bucket looks relatively complicated and has relatively complete functions. It can be used to realize functions such as loading, scraping, and clamping operations, and has all the functions of digging buckets such as mud buckets, rotating buckets, and earthmoving buckets. Using the hydraulic cylinder, it can automatically unload materials without tipping the bucket, which is convenient and fast.
With more functions, the control will test the driver's skills more, and the four-in-one bucket is not suitable for heavier operations such as trenching and trenching. In addition, with more parts and functions, more places require maintenance.
After looking at so many types of buckets, each bucket has its own characteristics and working conditions. By choosing the appropriate accessories according to the needs of construction, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
