What is a shovel excavator?

The shovel excavator is a common engineering machinery equipment that is widely used in earth excavation operations in mining, construction, water conservancy and other fields. Its characteristic is that the bucket digs upward, which is suitable for digging materials higher than the stopping surface. This article will introduce in detail the working principle, structural characteristics, application scenarios and recent hot topics of the shovel excavator.

1. Working principle of front shovel excavator

What is a shovel excavator?

The front shovel excavator drives the bucket upward through the hydraulic system. The main work processes include:

1.excavation stage: The bucket digs upward from the bottom and is lifted after being filled with materials.

2.turning phase: The bucket rotates to the unloading position.

3.Unloading phase: The bucket opens and the material is discharged.

4.reset phase: The bucket returns to the excavation position and prepares for the next operation.

2. Structural characteristics of front shovel excavator

The front shovel excavator mainly consists of the following components:

Part nameFunction description
BucketFor digging and loading materials
BoomSupport the bucket and control its lifting
stickConnect the bucket and boom to adjust the digging depth
Hydraulic systemProvide power and control the movement of various components
Rotary platformAchieve 360° rotation of the fuselage
Tracks/TiresSupport the body and enable movement

3. Application scenarios of front shovel excavators

Front shovel excavators are suitable for the following operating scenarios:

Application areasSpecific use
MiningLoading of ore, coal and other materials
construction projectFoundation pit excavation and earth moving
water conservancy projectRiver dredging and dam construction
ROAD WORKRoadbed filling and stone loading

4. Recent hot topics and hot content
