Introduction​ Excavators, as indispensable and important mechanical equipment in modern engineering construction, play a crucial role in various engineering projects with their powerful excavation, loading, and handling capabilities. The efficient and stable operation of an excavator is inseparable from the collaborative work of its numerous precision parts. These parts are like the "organs" and "limbs" of the excavator, each undertaking unique functions, collectively ensuring that the excavator can operate smoothly under various complex working conditions. Next, let's take an in-depth look at the main parts of an excavator.​ Working Device Parts​ The working device parts are the parts of the excavator that directly participate in the excavation operation, and their performance directly affects the operation efficiency and quality.​ Boom and Arm​ Standard Boom and Arm: The standard boom and arm are the most common configurations of excavators, and their design dimensions are suitable for most conventional excavation operation scenarios. They are usually made of high-strength steel, having good strength and toughness, and can withstand the huge stress generated during the excavation process. In general construction and earthwork projects, the standard boom and arm can flexibly perform operations such as excavation and loading. (As shown in Figure 1)​ : The extended boom is designed to meet some special operation needs. For example, in operations such as river dredging and deep pit excavation, the excavator needs to have a longer working reach. The extended boom significantly expands the working range of the excavator by increasing the length of the boom and arm. Some extended booms are also designed to be retractable, further improving the flexibility of their operations. (As shown in Figure 2)​ Bucket​ Standard Bucket: The shape and size of the standard bucket are suitable for the excavation and loading of general materials such as soil and sand. Its bucket wall usually has a certain inclination angle to facilitate the smooth loading and unloading of materials. (As shown in Figure 3)​ Rock Bucket: The rock bucket is specially used for excavating materials with high hardness such as rocks. To cope with the high-strength impact and wear of rocks, the rock bucket is made of thicker and more wear-resistant steel, and the bucket teeth are also specially designed to have stronger penetration and wear resistance. (As shown in Figure 4)​ Ditch Bucket: The design of the ditch bucket is relatively unique. It has a slender shape and an arc-shaped bucket bottom, which is suitable for excavating ditches of various shapes. In farmland water conservancy construction, municipal pipeline laying and other projects, the ditch bucket can efficiently excavate ditches that meet the requirements. (As shown in Figure 5)​ Breaker​ The breaker is a part commonly used in mining, concrete demolition and other operations. It uses the powerful impact force provided by the hydraulic system to break hard objects such as rocks and concrete into small pieces for subsequent cleaning and transportation. In mine ore mining, the breaker can quickly break large pieces of ore, improving mining efficiency. (As shown in Figure 6)​ Hydraulic Shears​ Hydraulic shears are mainly used in building demolition, metal recycling and other operations. It uses hydraulic power to drive the shear blades, which can easily cut off metal structural parts such as steel bars and steel beams. In urban reconstruction projects, hydraulic shears can safely and efficiently demolish abandoned buildings. (As shown in Figure 7)​ Ripper​ The ripper is used to break hard soil, weathered rocks, etc. It is usually installed behind the bucket of the excavator. Through the sharp tooth tip inserted into the soil or rock, it then uses the downward pressure and horizontal pulling force of the excavator to break it. In road construction, when hard foundations need to be treated, the ripper can play an important role. (As shown in Figure 8)​ Chassis and Travel Parts​ The chassis and travel parts are the support and movement system of the excavator, ensuring the stable driving and flexible steering of the excavator on various terrains.​ Crawler Track​ The crawler track is an important part of the excavator in contact with the ground. It evenly distributes the weight of the excavator on the ground, reduces the pressure on the ground, and enables the excavator to drive on complex terrains such as soft and muddy ground. The crawler track is usually composed of multiple track plates connected. The track plates are made of high-strength steel, and the surface has anti-skid patterns and protrusions to increase friction and grip with the ground. (As shown in Figure 9)​ Track Roller​ The track roller is installed inside the crawler track, and its function is to support the weight of the excavator and enable the crawler track to roll smoothly. The track roller is usually made of high-strength alloy steel, and the wheel surface is quenched, having good wear resistance and compressive strength. During the driving process of the excavator, the track roller can adapt to the undulations of different terrains, ensuring the stable operation of the crawler track. (As shown in Figure 10)​ Drive Sprocket​ The drive sprocket meshes with the chain links of the crawler track and drives the crawler track to move through rotation, thereby realizing the walking of the excavator. The drive sprocket is usually forged from high-strength steel, and the tooth shape is specially designed to ensure good meshing with the crawler track and transmission efficiency. The power of the drive sprocket comes from the travel motor of the excavator. (As shown in Figure 11)​ Hydraulic System Parts​ The hydraulic system parts are the core of the excavator to realize various actions. It provides powerful power for the working device and travel system of the excavator through the pressure transmission of hydraulic oil.​ Hydraulic Pump​ The hydraulic pump is the power source of the hydraulic system. It converts the mechanical energy of the engine into hydraulic energy and provides high-pressure oil for the entire hydraulic system. Common hydraulic pumps include gear pumps, piston pumps and vane pumps. Piston pumps are widely used in excavators due to their high pressure output and good volumetric efficiency. The performance of the hydraulic pump directly affects the working efficiency and the smoothness of the movements of the excavator. (As shown in Figure 12)​ Hydraulic Motor​ The working principle of the hydraulic motor is opposite to that of the hydraulic pump. It converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy to drive the travel, rotation and other parts of the excavator to move. The hydraulic motor has the characteristics of large output torque and wide speed range, and can meet the power requirements of the excavator under different working conditions. In the travel system of the excavator, the hydraulic motor drives the drive sprocket through the reducer to realize the forward, backward and steering of the excavator. (As shown in Figure 13)​ Hydraulic Cylinder​ The hydraulic cylinder is an executive component in the hydraulic system. It converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy to realize linear reciprocating motion. The lifting, telescoping and other actions of the working devices such as the boom, arm and bucket of the excavator are all completed by the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder is mainly composed of cylinder barrel, piston, piston rod, seals and other parts. During the excavation operation, by controlling the oil pressure and flow in the hydraulic cylinder, the movement speed and position of the working device can be accurately controlled. (As shown in Figure 14)​ Electrical System Parts​ The electrical system parts provide power support for the excavator, ensure the normal operation of various electronic components and equipment, and realize the intelligent control of the excavator.​
