La présente invention concerne un accessoire de levage permettant de transformer une pelleteuse traditionnelle équipée de son godet en pince de préhension par adjonction sur son bras terminal d'une pince à fourche dormante antagoniste La pince mécanique ainsi obtenue est particulièrement adaptée pour la manutention des 5 troncs d'arbres, branchages, souches, blocs de rochers Elle permet la préhension en toute sécurité de charges lourdes sans avoir recours à un grappin de manutention motorisé et sans démonter le godet. The present invention relates to a lifting accessory making it possible to transform a traditional excavator equipped with its bucket into gripping pliers by adding on its terminal arm an antagonistic dead fork clamp The mechanical clamp thus obtained is particularly suitable for handling the 5 trunks trees, branches, stumps, boulders It allows the safe handling of heavy loads without having to use a motorized handling grab and without dismantling the bucket.
La manutention des matériaux tels que des souches ou des rochers avec des pelleteuses sur les chantiers est traditionnellement effectuée à l'aide de fourches spécialisées ou de grappins motorisés, qui sont montés en remplacement du godet de la pelleteuse Ces opérations sont assez lentes à exécuter lorsqu'elles obligent le manutentionnaire à fixer manuellement ces accessoires en remplacement du godet. The handling of materials such as stumps or rocks with backhoes on construction sites is traditionally carried out using specialized forks or motorized grabs, which are mounted to replace the backhoe bucket These operations are quite slow to perform when 'they require the handler to manually attach these accessories to replace the bucket.
Pour leur part, les grappins mécaniques motorisés nécessitent d'être raccordés au système hydraulique de la pelleteuse, ce qui complique la commande et les 15 flexibles sont alors très exposés aux ruptures. For their part, the motorized mechanical grapples require to be connected to the hydraulic system of the excavator, which complicates the control and the hoses are then very exposed to ruptures.
De ce fait, il n'existait pas de moyen de préhension qui assure une prise rapide et sre de souches d'arbres, de déchets de taille ou de rochers au moyen du godet d'une pelleteuse sans que celle-ci ne soit déséquipée de son godet de terrassement pour être remplacé par un grappin et sans que ces accessoires de manutention ne lui permette de conserver sa fonctionnalité de pelletage. As a result, there was no gripping means which ensured rapid and secure picking up of tree stumps, pruning waste or rocks using the bucket of a backhoe without it being stripped of its earthmoving bucket to be replaced by a grapple and without these handling accessories allowing it to retain its shoveling functionality.
La pince de préhension universelle adaptable sur le bras de toute pelleteuse à godet, selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients Elle se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'elle comporte une pince en forme de fourche constituée d'une pluralité de dents, disposées de façon que le mouvement de fermeture du godet oppose 25 un effort de serrage antagoniste sur cette pince fixe Sous cette action, la géométrie particulière de la pince de préhension opère une fermeture totale par appui des dents sur la barre ( 9) ce qui assure un bon maintien de la charge tout au long du levage et garantit la sreté du mouvement. The universal gripping pliers adaptable to the arm of any bucket excavator, according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It is essentially characterized in that it comprises a fork-shaped clamp consisting of a plurality of teeth, arranged so that the closing movement of the bucket opposes an opposing clamping force on this fixed clamp Under this action, the particular geometry of the gripping clamp operates a total closure by pressing the teeth on the bar (9) which ensures a good load maintenance throughout the lifting and guarantees a safe movement.
Selon une première caractéristique, la pince de préhension ( 2) qui est fixée au 30 bras ( 5) de la pelleteuse ne prend pas la place de l'outil et conserve ainsi à la pelleteuse sa fonctionnalité permanente d'engin de terrassement complétée par celle d'un engin de levage à grappin L'effort de fermeture du godet ( 8) qui se reporte sur la pince dormante antagoniste ( 2) assure un serrage à la demande en permettant alors la préhension de charges difficiles. -2 According to a first characteristic, the gripper (2) which is fixed to the arm (5) of the excavator does not take the place of the tool and thus retains the excavator its permanent functionality of earthmoving machine supplemented by that of a grapple lifting device The closing force of the bucket (8) which is carried over to the counteracting gripper (2) ensures tightening on demand while allowing the gripping of difficult loads. -2
Elle comporte selon une deuxième caractéristique, un dispositif de fixation ( 6) et ( 7) adaptable sur les bras terminaux de toutes les pelleteuses, se composant d'une platine rapportée ( 6) et de deux crochets ( 7), et d'un verrouillage supérieur constitué par un axe de fixation ( 3) qui permet d'assujettir la pince de préhension ( 2) au bras ( 5) de la pelleteuse et de la rendre amovible. According to a second characteristic, it comprises a fixing device (6) and (7) adaptable to the terminal arms of all the excavators, consisting of an attached plate (6) and two hooks (7), and a upper locking constituted by a fixing pin (3) which makes it possible to subject the gripper (2) to the arm (5) of the excavator and to make it removable.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, une goupille ( 4) disposée sur l'axe de fixation ( 3) permet de maintien de la pince ( 2) sur la bras ( 5) de la pelleteuse et assure le verrouillage de l'axe en position Le fait de retirer manuellement cette goupille ( 4) et d'exercer de façon concomitante un déplacement 10 transversal de l'axe supérieur ( 3) de maintien de la pince ( 2) a pour effet de libérer la pince de préhension qui pivote alors sur ses crochets inférieurs ( 7) sans tomber au sol. According to an additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, a pin (4) arranged on the fixing axis (3) allows the clamp (2) to be held on the arm (5) of the excavator and ensures the locking of the axis in position The fact of manually removing this pin (4) and of exercising concomitantly a transverse movement of the upper axis (3) for holding the clamp (2) has the effect of releasing the gripper which then pivots on its lower hooks (7) without falling to the ground.
Cette disposition particulière: facilite l'opération manuelle de montage qui s'opère en positionnant dans un premier temps les crochets ( 7) de la pince de préhension sur le bras de la pelleteuse, puis dans un second temps en clavetant l'axe de verrouillage ( 3) à l'aide d'une goupille ( 4) de sécurité, et sécurise les opérations manuelles de démontage en évitant la chute de la pince ( 2) lors du retrait de l'axe supérieur ( 3). This particular arrangement: facilitates the manual mounting operation which takes place by first positioning the hooks (7) of the gripper on the backhoe arm, then secondly by keying the locking pin (3) using a safety pin (4), and secures the manual disassembly operations by avoiding the fall of the clamp (2) during the withdrawal of the upper axis (3).
Selon un autre mode d'exécution de cette caractéristique, la fixation de la pince 20 de préhension ( 2) au bras ( 5) de la pelleteuse peut être réalisée au moyen d'une commande mécanique automatique ou d'un vérin commandé. According to another embodiment of this characteristic, the attachment of the gripper 20 (2) to the arm (5) of the excavator can be carried out by means of an automatic mechanical control or a controlled jack.
Selon un autre mode d'exécution de cette caractéristique, la fixation de la pince de préhension ( 2) au bras ( 5) de la pelleteuse peut être une fixation universelle, réalisée par des colliers dormants (non représentés ici) rapportés sur ce bras et servant 25 de points de fixation à la pince de préhension amovible. According to another embodiment of this characteristic, the attachment of the gripping pliers (2) to the arm (5) of the excavator can be a universal attachment, produced by standing collars (not shown here) attached to this arm and serving as fixing points for the removable gripper.
Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement dans la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin d'ensemble annexé FIG 1 En référence à ce dessin, on peut voir que lorsqu'on libère la goupille ( 4), l'axe de verrouillage ( 3) est libre de se déplacer en translation jusqu'à son retrait, libérant 30 alors la pince de préhension amovible ( 2) munie ici de deux dents de fourche ( 1). The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly in the description which follows and which relates to the overall drawing appended FIG 1 With reference to this drawing, it can be seen that when the pin (4) is released, the the locking pin (3) is free to move in translation until it is withdrawn, thereby releasing the removable gripper (2) here provided with two fork teeth (1).
On notera FIG 2 que les dents ( 1) de la pince de préhension ( 2), sont placées de telle sorte qu'elles appuient avec la barre ( 9) sur les dents du godet ( 8) de la pelleteuse, cette disposition permettant d'améliorer la tenue de la charge à manutentionner. -3 En outre, la pince de préhension selon l'invention est d'une utilisation rapide et simple, puisque la pelleteuse ainsi équipée de ce dispositif peut continuer à être utilisée avec son godet pour des travaux de terrassement sans nécessité de retirer la pince. It will be noted FIG 2 that the teeth (1) of the gripper (2), are placed so that they bear with the bar (9) on the teeth of the bucket (8) of the excavator, this arrangement allowing '' improve the behavior of the load to be handled. -3 In addition, the gripper according to the invention is quick and simple to use, since the excavator thus equipped with this device can continue to be used with its bucket for earthworks without the need to remove the clamp.
Selon un mode particulier d'utilisation, la pince de préhension peut servir à emporter les différents godets dont le terrassier a besoin. According to a particular mode of use, the gripping pliers can be used to carry the different buckets that the excavator needs.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de la fourche, la fourche ( 1) peut recevoir une seule dent pour la manutention des troncs d'arbres lorsque le godet ( 8) antagoniste de la pelleteuse est lui-même muni d'au moins deux dents. According to a particular embodiment of the fork, the fork (1) can receive a single tooth for handling tree trunks when the antagonistic bucket (8) of the excavator is itself provided with at least two teeth.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation la fourche ( 1) peut être remplacée par une I 0 lame pleine pouvant prendre des dimensions et des formes adaptées aux opérations de terrassement et de nivellement que l'on désire réaliser. According to another embodiment, the fork (1) can be replaced by a solid blade I 0 which can take dimensions and shapes adapted to the earthmoving and leveling operations which it is desired to carry out.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la pince amovible ( 2) peut être munie d'un vérin qui lui permettrait de pivoter autour de son articulation pour s'effacer de la zone de travail. According to another embodiment, the removable clamp (2) can be provided with a jack which would allow it to pivot around its articulation in order to be erased from the working area.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'ensemble de la pince de préhension ( 2) peut être réalisée en acier inoxydable, en aluminium ou en matériaux composites. According to another embodiment, the assembly of the gripper (2) can be made of stainless steel, aluminum or composite materials.
La pince de préhension universelle selon l'invention est plus particulièrement adaptable sur les mini pelleteuse à godet Elle est particulièrement destinée à la manutention mécanisée des troncs d'arbres, des branchages, des déchets de taille, des 20 souches, au placement des enrochements dans les rocailles, à la manutention et au déroulage au sol de grands rouleaux de feutre géotextile. The universal gripper according to the invention is more particularly adaptable on mini bucket excavators. It is particularly intended for mechanized handling of tree trunks, branches, pruning waste, stumps, placement of riprap in rock gardens, handling and unrolling large rolls of geotextile felt on the ground.
Elle est conçue pour répondre aux besoins des entreprises de parcs et jardins, paysagistes, de terrassement et travaux publics et les exploitations agricoles. -4 It is designed to meet the needs of businesses in parks and gardens, landscapers, earthmoving and public works and farms. -4
