Customizable Electric Bucket Wheel Excavator

Product Introduction

Customizable Electric Bucket Wheel Excavator

The bucket-wheel excavator operates in stationary mode, employing coordinated movement between its front-mounted bucket wheel and boom rotation to slice and gather material. As the buckets ascend during rotation, captured material automatically discharges onto the intake conveyor via gravity, funneling through a hopper to the discharge conveyor for transport. Following each excavation layer, the machine advances linearly or adjusts boom height to target subsequent vertical layers. Layer thickness correlates with boom extension range, while excavation width is determined by rotational speed. Machine mobility serves a supplementary role to its core continuous excavation and conveyor-driven material handling operations.

Core Structural Systems
The excavator’s design integrates six principal subsystems: mobility platform, rotational framework, excavation module, material conveyance system, electrical control network, and hydraulic actuation system. Key design features include:

Track-Based Mobility System
Modern units predominantly utilize crawler-track systems, with certain models incorporating articulated walking mechanisms. Compact to mid-sized excavators typically employ dual-track configurations, while larger variants adopt multi-track designs to optimize ground pressure distribution and stability.

Omnidirectional Rotation Mechanism
This system combines a rotating superstructure with azimuthal drive components, integrating power units, transmission elements, operator controls, and the cabin. A high-capacity slewing bearing enables full 360° rotation of the upper assembly relative to the base structure.

Excavation Assembly
Comprising a bucket-wheel array, articulated boom, elevation adjustment system, and drive units, this module positions the bucket wheel—a circular arrangement of digging containers—at the boom’s distal end. The boom articulates via a pivoting base connection, with angular positioning controlled by winch or hydraulic systems to maintain optimal cutting geometry. Boom variants range from fixed-length to telescopic designs, while the drive unit (electric motor with torque limiter and gearing) is offset-mounted near the boom’s forward section for efficient power delivery.

Material Handling Circuit
Incorporates a sequential arrangement of intake conveyor, intermediate hopper, and discharge conveyor. Bridge-style configurations further integrate transfer conveyors within bridging structures to extend material routing flexibility.

Electrical Control Architecture
Implements grid-powered variable frequency drive technology for precise motor speed regulation and torque management.

Hydraulic Actuation Network
Primarily governs boom elevation and conveyor positioning through hydraulic cylinders, ensuring dynamic operational accuracy during excavation cycles.
