ENERGY-SAVING OPERATING EQUIPMENT OF EXCAVATOR WITH ARTICULATED DIGGING ARM Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC E02F9/22 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: energy-saving operating equipment includes digging arm base, digging arm head, handle, bucket, the main hydraulic cylinders for lifting the digging arm, control hydraulic cylinder of the digging arm length, additional balancing pneumatic cylinder connected to portal and to the digging arm base. Piston cavity of balancing pneumatic hydraulic cylinder is connected to gas bottle charged with pressure of more than 10 MPa and having the volume equal at least to five operating volumes of balancing pneumatic hydraulic cylinder. At that, to piston cavity at least of one main hydraulic cylinder for lifting the digging arm there connected is hydropneumatic accumulator the gas cavity of which is charged with initial pressure of more than 10 MPa and divided at least into two gas chambers separated with a partition in which an adjustable orifice is installed.

EFFECT: higher operating efficiency of machine, lower energy losses and higher efficiency of operating equipment.
