Integrated expression and general optimisation method of bucket shape line of backhoe hydraulic excavator

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The bucket shape of a hydraulic excavator influences its excavating performance and is determined by its shape line. In this study, the inner surface line projected on the symmetrical plane of the bucket was adopted as the bucket shape line, and the value ranges of the main parameters for the shape line were investigated. By considering the centre of the arc at the bucket bottom as the origin, the Cartesian coordinate system was established, and the integrated equation of the bucket line was derived based on the geometric constraints related to the shape line. A general optimisation model of the bucket line was established using the integrated equation. The effects of four design variables on the optimisation goal were determined using the bucket of a 21 T excavator as an example, and the optimal shape line of the bucket was obtained using a genetic algorithm. The results indicated that the cutting angle decreased by 9.92 % in comparison with that before optimisation, which was beneficial in decreasing the digging resistance. Additionally, the aspect ratio decreased by 5.75 %, thereby reducing the bucket weight. Thus, the integrated expression and the optimisation of shape lines provide a general method and theoretical basis for optimising the bucket shape.
