5.2 Bucket
5.2.1 Basic requirements
1) The longitudinal profile of bucket meets the law of motion of various materials inside of bucket,
facilitating the material flow and minimizing the loading resistance and thus fulfilling the bucket.
2) Bucket teeth are mounted to increase the linear specific pressure of bucket onto material, with unit
cutting resistance relatively low and easing to cut in and break soil. In addition, the teeth are
resistant to wear and easy to replace.
3) The load is easy to get off, shortening the unloading time and increasing the effective capacity of
bucket.
5.2.2 Structure
Bucket shape and size for backhoe are highly related to work objects. In order to meet various
excavation, one excavator could be equipped with multiple types of buckets, with backhoe most popular.
Bucket teeth could be mounted with rubber pins and bolts
Connection between bucket and hydraulic cylinder is of linkage mechanism, with bucket directly
articulated with hydraulic cylinder, which drops the rotation angle of bucket but enables the work torque
to change greatly. .
