Application of Energy-saving Principle of Mechanical Design in Hydraulic Excavator

摘要

In the working process of the traditional hydraulic excavator, the potential energy could not be properly applied in the course of boom-down, whereas the boom requires additional kinetic energy to rise, resulting in a waste of energy, heating up the system, reducing the service life of the machine. As a solution to this problem, the paper proposes the balance hydraulic excavator, adhering to the energy-saving principle of mechanical design, on the basis of which, turning the traditional hydraulic excavator's fixed weight into a sliding weight and fuel tank, meanwhile, connecting the sliding weight fuel tank with the boom fuel tank, which constitutes the machinery - hydraulic hybrid balance system to the effect of saving the system energy, improving the overall stability and reliability.
