An apparatus for forming a trench in a sea floor and/or displacing material on the sea floor is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a body and front skids mounted to the body for engaging the sea floor and supporting the body. The front skids are adjustable between a first mode, in which the front skids engage the sea floor, and a second mode, in which the front skids engage the sea floor adjacent the trench and at the trench walls.

The method for directionally swaying and resetting harrow teeth of a rolling harrow loader-excavator and the rolling harrow loader-excavator comprising a harrow rotary piece, directional sway and reset harrow teeth, a harrow supporter, a driving mechanism, a feeder mechanism and a body; each directional sway and reset harrow tooth comprises a torsion spring shaft supporting piece, a tooth handle sway limiting piece, a directional sway and reset tooth handle, a directional sway and reset tooth point, a torsion spring tooth handle shaft, a torsion spring and a torsion spring tooth handle shaft retaining piece.

The invention relates to the field of excavation systems, and more particularly to excavation systems including tools for excavation by electric pulses. An excavation system of the invention comprises a support frame (34), a hydraulic circuit with a pump, and first and second excavation tools. One of said first and second excavation tools is a mechanical excavation tool (1) having a hydraulic actuator and a mounting interface with at least one mechanical fastener member and at least one hydraulic coupling in fluid flow communication with said hydraulic actuator, while the other one of said first and second excavation tools is a tool (1) for excavation by electric pulses, comprising an electricity generator (3) with a rotary shaft for generating electricity from rotation of the rotary shaft, a hydraulic motor coupled to said rotary shaft to drive rotation of the rotary shaft, and an electronic power module (4) electrically connected to the electricity generator (3) in order to be powered by the electricity generator (3) so as to generate electric pulses of instantaneous power that is higher than an instantaneous power of the electricity generator (3), a plurality of electrodes (5a, 5p) including at least one electrode (5a) connected to said electronic power module (4), the electrodes being arranged on said front face, and a mounting interface (14) with at least one mechanical fastener member (22), and at least one hydraulic coupling (20) in fluid flow communication with said hydraulic motor (2). Each of the mounting interfaces of the first and second excavation tools is suitable for releasably mounting the corresponding excavation tool in alternation under the support frame (34) of the excavation system, with the corresponding hydraulic coupling in fluid flow communication with said hydraulic circuit of the excavation assembly.

A two-step auto stroke hydraulic breaker includes a cylinder including a high-low pressure chamber, a high pressure chamber, and a pressure converting chamber including a pilot port, a high pressure connecting port connected to the high pressure chamber, a sensing port, an oil tank port, a long stroke port, and a short stroke port, a piston including small diameter portions, upper and lower large diameter portions, a sensing fluid groove between the upper and lower large diameter portions, and a return fluid groove formed on the lower the large diameter portion, a fluid circuit unit to control a supply direction of the fluid to the cylinder and to generate a fluid pressure to selectively change a stroke, and a chisel to break the bedrock when a lower portion of the piston descends to impact the chisel during a descending operation.

A hammer tool assembly for a machine is provided. A hammer tool assembly includes a power cell, a tool and a frame assembly. The frame assembly includes a first side plate and a second side plate. The hammer tool assembly includes a flange member extending from an outer periphery of an outer wall of the first and second side plates. The flange member includes a plurality of serrations that extend from the outer periphery of the outer wall of at least one of the first and second side plates. The hammer tool assembly also includes a plurality of blocks provided in surrounding contact with the power cell and an inner wall of the first and second side plates respectively.

A shearing implement for use with an excavator has a thumb having a grasping side and a cutting side and being pivotably attachable to the boom. A shearing blade member is pivotably attached to the cutting side of the thumb. A linear actuator has a first end attached to the shearing blade member and a second end attachable to the boom or the thumb so that extension and retraction of the linear actuator causes the shearing blade member to rotate relative to the thumb.

Described herein are tools, systems and methods for conditioning, strengthening and/or improving in situ soil geotechnical or agricultural properties while at least temporarily reducing soil density, energy requirements, and tool wear.

The present invention relates to a core drill apparatus which is mounted to a working boom of an excavator so as to drill rock or a concrete structure and, more particularly, to a core drill apparatus for installation in an excavator, which comprises a ring gear and a plurality of elevation cylinders that are connected to and installed in a working support frame mounted to the end of a working boom of an excavator so as to rotate the working support frame, and at the same time, is configured to support the working frame while adjusting the height of the slope using the elevation cylinders when the working frame is supported on an inclined work surface. Therefore, the present invention enables a drilling bit provided in the working support frame to stably drill a structure regardless of the inclination of a work surface to be drilled, and can thus significantly improve the efficiency of a drilling operation.
