Here is a detailed introduction to the key maintenance points for extending the life of the hydraulic breaker bucket.
1. Daily cleaning and inspection
After each operation, timely cleaning of the hydraulic breaker bucket is a basic maintenance work. Use a high-pressure water gun or a special cleaning tool to remove debris such as soil, sand, and concrete residues attached to the surface and inside of the bucket. If these debris accumulate for a long time, it will not only increase the weight of the bucket and affect the working efficiency, but also breed corrosive substances in the gaps and damage the bucket structure. At the same time, the appearance of the bucket should be carefully inspected to see if there are cracks, deformations, or severely worn parts. In particular, focus on vulnerable areas such as the blade edge and pin connection of the bucket. Once a problem is found, repair or replace it in time, which is very important to ensure the "safety of daily use of the hydraulic breaker bucket".
2. Hydraulic system maintenance
Regularly replace the hydraulic oil
Hydraulic oil is the "blood" of the hydraulic breaker bucket, and its quality directly affects the performance and life of the bucket. According to the "hydraulic breaker bucket maintenance cycle" specified in the equipment manual, replace the hydraulic oil regularly. Generally, it needs to be replaced every 2000-3000 working hours. When replacing hydraulic oil, be sure to choose high-quality oil that meets the requirements of the equipment. Poor-quality hydraulic oil may contain impurities, which will aggravate the wear of internal parts of the hydraulic system and even cause blockage, affecting the normal operation of the system. At the same time, during the oil change process, the hydraulic oil tank and filter should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent impurities in the old oil from remaining.
Check the hydraulic pipeline
Regularly check whether the hydraulic pipeline has leakage, damage or aging. Once there is a problem with the hydraulic pipeline, hydraulic oil leakage will not only cause environmental pollution, but also lead to insufficient system pressure, which will reduce the crushing force of the bucket. If a leak is found in the pipeline, the pipeline should be repaired or replaced in time. For the connection of the pipeline, ensure that the joint is firm and well sealed. In daily operations, pay attention to avoid contact between the hydraulic pipeline and sharp objects to prevent scratches and damage.
3. Replacement of wearing parts
Replacement of crushing teeth
The crushing teeth are the parts of the hydraulic crushing bucket that directly contact the material. In high-intensity crushing operations, the wear rate is faster. When the crushing teeth are worn to a certain extent, their crushing effect will be greatly reduced, and the load on other parts will be increased. Generally, when the crushing teeth are worn to more than one-third of the original height, they need to be replaced. When choosing crushing teeth, choose products with reliable quality and suitable for bucket models to ensure good crushing performance and long service life.
Maintenance of pins and bushings
The pins and bushings play a connecting and supporting role at the movable joints of the bucket. Due to frequent relative movement, they are prone to wear. Check the wear of the pins and bushings regularly, and replace them in time when the wear exceeds the specified range. At the same time, lubricate the pins and bushings regularly, use special grease to ensure their flexible rotation and reduce wear, which is also one of the important measures to "extend the service life of hydraulic crushing buckets".
4. Correct use and operation
Avoid overload operation
When using a hydraulic crushing bucket, operate it strictly in accordance with the rated working parameters of the equipment to avoid overload operation. Overload operation will cause the bucket to bear too much pressure, which is easy to cause problems such as bucket structure damage and hydraulic system failure. For example, when breaking hard rocks, if the bucket is found to be struggling to break, the crushing angle should be adjusted appropriately or auxiliary crushing measures should be adopted instead of forcing continuous operation. Following the correct operating specifications will help maintain the "stability of the hydraulic crushing bucket".
Reasonable selection of the work site
Try to choose a flat and solid work site, and avoid working on soft, muddy or sloping ground. Working on unstable ground will cause the excavator to shake, resulting in uneven force on the bucket and increasing the risk of component damage. At the same time, pay attention to the environment around the work site, avoid working in obstacles or narrow spaces, and prevent the bucket from colliding with surrounding objects and causing damage.
5. Storage and transportation precautions
Long-term storage and maintenance
If the hydraulic crushing bucket needs to be stored for a long time, it needs comprehensive maintenance. First, clean the inside and outside of the bucket thoroughly, and apply rust inhibitor to prevent rust. Secondly, drain the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system, flush the system with rust-proof oil, then add an appropriate amount of rust-proof oil and seal the pipe interfaces. Place the bucket in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse to avoid direct sunlight and rain erosion. During storage, check the bucket regularly to ensure that it is in good condition.
Safe transportation measures
When transporting a hydraulic breaker bucket, choose a suitable means of transportation and securely fix the bucket. Use ropes or special fixing devices to tightly connect the bucket to the transport vehicle to prevent shaking or displacement during transportation. At the same time, pay attention to protecting the key parts of the bucket, such as crushing teeth, hydraulic pipelines, etc., and use protective pads or protective covers to protect them from collision damage during transportation.
In short, by doing a good job of daily cleaning and inspection, hydraulic system maintenance, replacement of wearing parts, correct use and operation, and storage and transportation precautions, and strictly following the relevant maintenance points, the service life of the hydraulic breaker bucket can be effectively extended, the equipment maintenance cost can be reduced, and the efficiency and benefits of engineering operations can be improved.
