Abstract

Excavator working devices are essential for the excavation process in construction projects. The performance of an excavator heavily depends on the design of its working device. In the past, the traditional design method was used to design these devices, which was characterized by low-quality designs, heavy workloads and long design cycles. However, with the increasing development of virtual prototyping technology, this traditional design method is being replaced by the virtual prototyping method. The virtual prototyping method involves the use of CAD software to generate a virtual model of the excavator working device. This model is then used to simulate the mining processes of the excavator and kinematics simulations are carried out to determine the excavator performance of working device.
