Description
HI'rCH FL,EXING HINGE
_echnical Field This invention relates to implement frarrles, and more particularly to implement frames utilizing a horizontal pivot which enables vertical flexing of transverse frame sections.
_ckground Art The trend to large scale farming operations and the desire to achieve and maintain eYer increasing productivity levels has led to various procedures and implements designed to maximize l~' efficient use of labof and equiprnent One accepted ~nethod of .naximizing efficiency is to utilize large scale implements which require extensive frames that can be unfolded to a wide effective working widtn in the field, and folded to an ac-eptably narrow configuration for transport from field to lS field Foldable agricultural implement frames are generally of three basic types wherein the sections are folded to the rear, vertically, or to the front. The forward fold configuration is widely favored and an excellent example of the forward folding implement frame is found in U.S. Patent No. 4,137,85~. ~hen the implement frame extends to a great width in the unfolded operational mode, it is desirable to provide for vertical flexing of the frame sections so that the implements attached to the frame will follow the contour of the ground. This vertical flexing is typically provided by a horizontal pivot interconnecting frame sections and disposed in a general fore-and-aft direction when the frame is in the transversely extended operational mode.
One disadvantage of frames providing for vertical flexing is that the draft beams interconnecting the feame sections and the hitch are subjected to twisting or torsional forces that can lead to structural damage or failure.
Those concerned with these and other problems recognize the need for an improved implement frame.
- Disclosure of the Invention The present invention provides a hitch flexing hinge incorporated within the draft beams of an implement frame in the vicinity of the hitch. The hitch flexing hinge allows for movement of the draft beam within a limited range withou-t subjecting the draft beam to torsional forces. Each hitch flexing hinge includes a yoke that receiv2s a vertical hitch pin and a body section that is received within the end of a rectangular draft tube or beam~ The body section has a vertically elongated diamond-shaped cross-sectional portion having a socket or race that carries a swivel ball. The ball has a central opening that receives a fastener extending through oppcsing side--walls of the dra~t tube to secure the body section withirl the draft tu~e. The draEt tube is thus able to rotate about the axis of the swivel ball which is positioned s~bs~antially at the longltudinal axis of the draft tube~
~ n object of the present invention is the provision oE an improved implement frame.
Another object is to provide a hitch flexing hinge for use in conjunction with an implement frame capable of vertical flexing of the transverse frame sections.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a hitch flexing hinge that allows for vertical flexing of implement frame sections without damaging or weakening the draft beams.
Still another object is to provide a hitch fle~ing hinge that can withstand substantial vertical loading.
A still further object of the present invention is the provision of a hitch flexing hinge that is easy and inexpensive to maintain.
Brief Description of the Drawings These and other attributes of the invention will become more clear upon a thorough study of the following description of the best mode for carrying out the invention, particularly when ~eviewed in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a top plan view showing a forwardly folding implement frame having a horizontal pivot which enables vertical flexing of connected transverse frame sections, and having a flexing hinge incorporated in the hitch, the dashed line portion illustrates the frame in the unfolded operational mode;
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the hitch flexi.ng hinge;
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the hitch flexing hinge;
Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4-4 of Fig. 2;
Fig. S is a sectional view taken along line 5-5 of Fig. 2;
Fig~ 6 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 5, and furthe~
~llustrating the limitation to the range oE rotational motion of th~ draft beam attached to the hitch flexing hinge as torque is applied in a counterclockwise direction; and Fig. 7 is a sectional view similar io Fig~ 6, but illustrating torsional Eorce applied in a clockwise direction.
Best Mode for Carryi~LOut the Invention ____ __ Referring now to the c~rawings wherein like reEerence numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout L~ the several views7 FigO 1 shows 3 Eorwardl~ foldable implement c~ame ~lO) inclLlding a pair of fore-and-aEt draft tubes 112) having their forward ends pivotally connected by vertical hitch pin l13) and supported on a hitch structure (14) of a draft vehicle (not shown)/ and having their rearward ends pivotally att~ched by vertical pins (15) to right and left wing sections (16). The hitch structure (14) has pivoting joints (ll) which allow for universal pivoting of the hitch structure (14) with respect to hitch pin (13). The wing sections (16) are conventionally mirror images of each other and both are pivotally attached by vertical pin (17) to a central frame section (18)~ As is typical, each of the wing sections (16) and the center section (18) is supported by ground wheels (19) and they may carry any form of agricul-tural tool such as the planting units (20) and tanks (22) illustrated in Fig. l.
The frame (lO) is moved between the folded transport position, as shown by the full line illustration of Fig~ l, and the unfolded operational position, as partially illustrated by the dashed line portion of Fig. l, by selective activation of the hydraulic cylinders (23). Retraction of the hydraulic cylinders (23~ forces the right and left wing sections (16) to move in an arcuate path about their respective vertical pivots (17) until the wing sections (16) are transversely aligned with the center section (18).
Extending forward from the center section beams (24) are a pair of short fore-and-aft beams (25) that are pivotally interconnected by fore-and-aft horizontal pivot pin (26). The horizontal pivot (26) enables vertical flexing of the wing sections(16) and the associated center beams (24), when the wing sections (16) are transversely extended to the unfolded operational position.
The forward end of the draft beams (12) carries a hitch flr-~xing hinge (30) which allows for limited rotation oE the draF~ beam (12) as wing sections (16) flex to follow the ground contour. As best shown in Figs 2-5, the hitch flexing hinge r (30) includes a bifurcated offset yoke (32) having registered openings (33) adapted to receive the vertical hitch pin (13).
The hitch hinge (30) also includes a body section (34) which is adapted to be received within the end of a rectangular draft beam or tube (12). The body sectlon (34) has two generally diamond-shaped po~tions (35) that have sockets oc ~aces (36) that receive a swivel ball (37) having a central opening (3&).
In use, the body section (34) of a hitch Elexiny hinge (30) is inserted into the end of a draft beam (12). The central vpening (38) of the swivel ball (37) receives a bolt (39) that extends through opposing sidewalls of the draft beam (12) and is secured by lock washer (40) and nut (42). (Figs. 6 and 7.) As shown in Fig. 1, a hinge unit (30) is attached within each of the two draft beams (12). The bifurcated yokes (32) are directed to converge toward one another and the fingers of the yokes (32) interlock so that all openings (33) are in register to receive the hitch pin (13)~
When the frame (10) is extended to the unfolded operational position, the horizontal pivot pin (26) allows the vertical flexing of the wing sections (16). As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the draft beam (12) rotates a limited distance in both a clockwise and counterclockwise direction as the wing sections (16) flex.
The draft beam (12) is thus able to rotate about the axis of ~he swivel ball (37) until the inside walls oE the draft beam contact the surface of the diamond-shaped portion (35) of the body section (34).
The hitch flexing hinge (30) is oriented within the draft beam (12) such that the opening in the swivel ball (37) is essentially horizontally disposed. This orientation of the ball (37) and race (36) will support substantial vertically directedforces.
Vertical flexing of the frames (10) causes rotation about horizontal pivot pin (26), vertical pins (15), hitch flex hinges _ ~ _ ~3~
l (30)~ vertical hitch pin ~13), and universal pivoting joints ( 11 ) .
'~`nus, it can be seen that at 1east al:l of the stated objectives have been achieved Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than a5 specifically described.
