Definitions

  • This application relates to resonance driving equipment, and in particular to the application of resonance technology to loader buckets and similar earth-working equipment.
  • the present invention provides a mechanism for resonantly driving a moveable cutter blade located at the base of a concave tool.
  • An angulate beam has first and second legs meeting at a juncture at an included angle of less than 180°.
  • the beam includes a mounting flange which extends inwardly from the juncture between the legs.
  • the beam has a resonant frequency, when restrained at the mounting flange, with a node at the juncture and first and second anti-nodes at the ends.
  • One end of the beam receives a vibratory input at or near the resonant frequency so that the second end vibrates about a neutral position.
  • the mounting flange is attached to the tool so that the angulate beam conforms to the concave shape of the tool.
  • the neutral position of the second end of the beam is spaced from the back of the cutter blade within striking distance of the blade.
  • the input vibration at the first end of the beam causes the second end to vibrate about its neutral position and impart forward impulses to the cutter blade to drive the blade intermittently forward.
  • the beam is capable of being mounted to the tool on which the beam operates because of the mounting flange which extends inwardly between the legs of the beam. Accordingly, the angulate beam can be attached directly to the tool, and an outside source of support is not required. Moreover, the beam adapts to the concave shape of the tool, forming a compact unit. As a result, the resonance device of the present invention provides a reasonable alternative to simple actuators now in common use in such devices.
  • a mining transporter 10 incorporating the features of the present invention is illustrated by way of reference to Figs. 1-3. However, it is to be understood that the apparatus of the present invention could equally as well be incorporated in other types of earth-moving equipment employing an earth-working tool such as a loading bucket or mold board.
  • Mining transporter 10 includes a rear power section 12 and a forward control section 14 connected by articulating joints 16. Hydraulic actuators such as 18 connect sections 12 and 14 of the vehicle for steering.
  • a loading bucket 20 is located at the front of transporter 10.
  • Loading bucket has a generally concave portion 22 and side walls 23, 24; forming a forwardly and upwardly opening enclosure.
  • a pair of lift arms 25, 26 are pivotably attached to the forward section 14 of transporter 10 by pins 27, 28.
  • the forward ends of lift arms 25, 26, attach to bucket 20 with a pin connection such as 30.
  • Hydraulic cylinders such as 32 run from the forward section 14 of transporter 10 to the midpoint of each lift arm 25, 26 to control vertical movement of loader bucket 20.
  • a dump cylinder 34 extends from a post 36 on the forward section 14 of transporter 10 to a pin connection 38 on loader bucket 20.
  • Dump cylinder 24 extends or retracts to rotate loader bucket 20 about the pin connections such as 30 on lift arms 25, 26 to move the loader bucket from a forwardly opening loading and unloading position to an upwardly opening carrying position.
  • a cutter blade 40 is located at the lower front edge of loader bucket 20, and spans the entire width of the loading bucket. Cutter blade 40 is suspended by a pair of hanger arms 41, 42 having pin connections 43, 44 respectively at the upper portion of the bucket. Accordingly, cutter blade 40 is free to reciprocate forwardly and backwardly with respect to the lower front edge of loading bucket 20.
  • a pair of compartments 45, 46 are located at the opposite ends of loading bucket 20.
  • Each compartment 45, 46 has a respective forward member 47, 48 having a generally concave configuration.
  • Each angulate resonant beam such as 50 is located in each compartment 45, 46. Beams 50 are mirror images of one another and act in unison. Each angulate beam 50 includes a pair of legs 51, 52 meeting at a central juncture 54. Leg 51 has an integral housing 56 at one end, and an eccentric weight oscillator 58 is located within the housing. Leg 52 has an enlarged portion 60 at its free end forming a hammer, described in more detail hereinafter.
  • Legs 51, 52 of angulate beam 50 meet at an included angle of preferably about 90°, and in any event substantially less than 180°.
  • a flange 62 extends inwardly between legs 51, 52 and bisects the included angle between them.
  • a pair of ears 63, 64 extend laterally from flange 62.
  • Bolts 65, 66 fasten ears 63, 64 of each beam 50 to the forward surfaces 47, 48 of the respective compartments 45, 46.
  • Each compartment such as 45 includes a cavity such as 70 projecting forwardly to the forward edge of loading bucket 20.
  • Cutter blade 40 includes a pair of extensions such as 72 extending rearwardly through cavity 70 to a position proximate the front surface of hammer 60 at the end of leg 52.
  • a motor is located within a housing 76 at the upper back surface of loading bucket 20.
  • the motor has output shafts such as 74 extending transversely in each direction, and the eccentric weight oscillators such as 58 are mounted on the output shafts of the motor.
  • Eccentric weight oscillator 58 is rotated at a frequency at or near the resonant frequency of beam 50, exciting the beam to at least near resonance.
  • hammer 60 At its neutral or rest position, hammer 60 is spaced slightly behind the extension 72 projecting rearwardly from cutter blade 40.
  • hammer 60 at the end of leg 52 vibrates about its neutral position, and strikes the rear of extension 72 during its forward stroke.
  • forward impulses are applied to cutter blade 40 to drive the cutter blade forward.
