Hydraulic Excavators 液压挖掘机 7．1 Overview概述 7.1.1 Basic Concept .基本概念 An excavator is an engineering vehicle consisting of an articulated arm (boom, stick), bucket and cab mounted on a pivot (a rotating platform) atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. Their design is a natural progression from the steam shovel. 挖掘机是一种由铰接臂杆（动臂和斗杆）、铲斗和安装于履带或轮式底盘上的转盘（一种旋转平台）所组成的工程机械（车辆）。挖掘机是在蒸汽铲的基础上自然发展起来的。 The history of heavy excavating machinery began in 1835 when the dipper shovel was invented to excavate hard soil and rock and to load trucks. Of course, with the invention of gasoline-and diesel-powered vehicles, construction equipment became even more adaptable. Most construction equipment is powered by diesel engines, although electric-power, battery power, and propane tanks are used on specialized equipment. 重型挖掘机的历史始于1835年，当时发明了拉铲式挖掘机用于开挖坚硬的土石方及装载卡车。当然，随着汽油机和柴油机车辆的发明，工程机械也变得越来越适用。虽然在一些专用设备上使用了电力驱动、蓄电池驱动和丙烷气罐，然而大多数工程机械仍然依靠柴油机驱动。 Design modifications are driven by customer demand. As of 2000, the two primary areas where customers would like to see more improvements are in the ease of operation and the operators comfort. The need for simple operation is forced by the fact that there are fewer skilled operators in the marketplace. And operations and reliability are both improving because of the continuing integration of electronics, automation, better engine technology, and on-board diagnostics. It is now up to the manufacturers to cost-effectively incorporate improvements. 客户要求推动着设计的改进。自从2000年以来，客户所期望改进的两个主要方面为操作方便性和操作舒适性。操作简单的要求迫于在市场中很难找到熟练操作人员的事实。由于电子技术、自动化、高性能发动机技术、在线诊断技术的不断集成，操作性和可靠性均得到了不断的改进。目前，制造商在进行各种成本效益方面的改进。 7.1.2 Applications应用 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 1. digging and loading挖掘装载；2. stonework石方工程；3. mining engineer
