Due to the prolonged working hours of the guardrail pile driver, the hydraulic system experiences normal wear and tear. While sucking in air from the tank, it also inhales a large amount of dust, which obstructs the hydraulic system of the machine. What is the specific function of the oil sump in the hydraulic station?

In the hydraulic station, the oil sump or catch pan is used to store hydraulic oil leaked from valves or components, preventing leaks from the hydraulic station, environmental pollution, and wastage. Moreover, there is a drain plug at the bottom for collecting hydraulic oil for unified treatment.

What components are needed for a simple hydraulic system?

For a simple hydraulic system, a hydraulic pump, hydraulic pipelines, and a transmission system are indispensable. In terms of system construction, the specific steps are as follows:

First, prepare the transmission equipment, hydraulic pipelines, and three hydraulic pumps. In the transmission device, either an electric motor or a diesel engine can be used. Then, prepare the tank and three hydraulic cylinders. Next, assemble them according to standards and requirements. The assembly is a pneumatic transmission device. After running for a while, add hydraulic oil, thus forming a hydraulic system.

Guardrail pile drivers also have a service life. Generally, they last longer after maintenance. Some guardrail pile driver manufacturers have shared suggestions for extending the service life:

1. At the time of purchase, choose materials with high strength and good wear resistance. Analyze the load-bearing capacity of the stress parts of the pile driver on the construction site, enhance its maintainability, simplify the disassembly and assembly of components, centralize lubrication, use electronic technology to monitor temperature, vibration, load, etc., use oil-embedded bearings for oil-free lubrication, and extend the lubrication period to effectively reduce maintenance. Also, use common and easily available spare parts to minimize maintenance projects in the design of the pile driver.

2. Create a good external environment, that is, both the environmental and infrastructure settings. Clear up some unreasonable policies and regulations in actual operations, optimize the industrial environment, and establish a set of scientific production application system standards.

3. Regular and proper maintenance also determines the service life of the pile driver. There are many specific regulations in the maintenance manual. Do not think that maintenance is unnecessary if there are no faults. Eliminate hidden dangers thoroughly to avoid major failures or accidents. Sometimes, calculating lost working hours and maintenance costs is more effective than regular maintenance. Low-cost, rapid maintenance is an effective way to extend the service life of pile drivers and their parts, not only reducing maintenance costs but also lowering the failure rate, effectively prolonging the service life of the guardrail pile driver.
