The digging bucket is the most important working weapon of excavator, and it is indispensable for all kinds of digging operations. However, in the actual working process, some drivers will have irregular operation behavior, thus affecting the service life of the excavator, so what action is more harmful to the bucket? And what operation matters should be noted?
1. Don’t use the bucket to pry open objects after digging
In order to save time, many operators use the back of the bucket to pry the object and then dig. This practice is extremely dangerous. When the back of the bucket collides with a hard object such as a rock, due to the cylinder rod principle, it will generate and impact amount far in excess of the oil pressure, which not only accelerated the wear of the back of the bucket, but also may lead to cracks in the bucket teeth, or even damage to the entire structure of the bucket. The correct approach is to use the bucket and the boom in tandem, utilizing the safety valves of the hydraulic system to automatically adjust the force to ensure a smooth and safe digging process.
2. Don’t use bucket drop to impact rock
It is also not advisable to use the impact of the bucket to break rock. This is also undesirable, because the impart force generated when the bucket falls will cause a huge impact load on the bucket, the arm and the excavator itself, which may lead to cracks, deformation and damage to these parts, and seriously shorten the service life of the excavator. Therefore, when digging hard objects, appropriate crushing tools or methods should be used to avoid using the bucket for impact operations.
3. Avoid Slewing Against Objects
When the excavator is slewing, it should make sure that the bucket and the working device do not collide with the surrounding objects. Because once the collision occurs, it will not only cause damage to the bucket, but also may have adverse effects on the moving arm, working device or even the whole excavator. Especially when working in narrow space, you should be more careful to avoid accidents during slewing.
4. Caution when working in high places
When excavator in high places, pay special attention to the position and attitude of the bucket. Even if the bucket has not been inserted into the soil, it should not be rotated to prevent the teeth from hitting hard objects such as rocks, which may cause damage to the bucket and the working device. At the same time, protective measures should also be taken when working at high places to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
In short, the excavator bucket operation needs to strictly comply with the safety norms and operating norms, to avoid improper operation of the bucket and excavator damage. Only the correct use and maintenance of the bucket, in order to improve operational efficiency, extend the life of the machine, to protect personnel and equipment safety.
