Bucket for earth-working machine with detachable wear components
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11982067B2) discloses a bucket design for earth-working or materials-handling machines. The bucket comprises a top portion, two side walls, and a floor extending from a front cutting edge to the top portion, forming a bucket opening. The unique feature of this bucket design is the inclusion of detachable wear components on the bucket floor, specifically in the form of rail sections and inverted keel sections. These components are strategically positioned to enhance the durability and replaceability of wear-prone areas, such as the bucket corners and edges.
Furthermore, the patent details the configuration of the rail sections and inverted keel sections, emphasizing their role in protecting and reinforcing the bucket floor. The use of detachable wear components connected to mechanical fastening means ensures easy replacement and maintenance of these critical areas. Additionally, the design includes protective elements to safeguard weld interfaces, enhancing the overall longevity and performance of the bucket. By incorporating these innovative features, the patented bucket design aims to improve efficiency and reduce downtime associated with wear and tear in earth-moving and materials-handling operations.
