Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with improvements in or relating to block laying apparatus, particularly apparatus for simultaneously laying a plurality of concrete interlocking blocks in a predetermined arrangement.
  • the known machines are therefore disadvantageous as regards the amount of travel time relative to laying time, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a block laying apparatus which obviates or mitigates such disadvantages.
  • block laying apparatus comprising drive means for controlling travel of the apparatus, characterised in that there are provided means for collecting and retaining a plurality of stacked layers of blocks in a first or storage position in the apparatus, means for transferring in the apparatus respective layers of the blocks successively from said first position to a second or laying position, and means for releasing the blocks from the apparatus together in a layer from the second position so as to enable a single laying of each layer of blocks.
  • the stack collecting and retaining means comprises a scissors lift assembly having arms which are movable between a clamping position in engagement with the stacked layers and a release position.
  • the lifting mechanism may comprise a scissors lift assembly which is suspended from an upper part of a frame of the apparatus, and the scissors lift assembly may be suspended by a pulley line connected to a piston of a pneumatic piston and cylinder assembly.
  • Latch means may be provided to be engageable with lugs on the arms so as to control the location on the stack where clamping of the arms becomes effective.
  • the layer transfer means comprises a block platform movable between a loading position below the first position of the stack and an outboard position relative to the apparatus such that, with the platform in the loading position, a layer of blocks can be released from the stack onto the platform, and the layer of blocks can be transferred to the second position, when the platform is moved to the outboard position.
  • an operator platform may be provided at the outboard position for supporting an operator above the block platform, when the latter is in the second position with a layer of blocks thereon, so as to enable manual control of laying.
  • Desirably means are provided to counter-balance the weight of that part of the apparatus at the outboard position.
  • adjustable means may be provided to counter-balance the transfer of a layer of blocks to the outboard position.
  • the block releasing means preferably comprises a frame having clamping members engageable with at least two opposed sides of the layer of blocks and operator controlled means for releasing the clamping members.
  • an apparatus for the laying of concrete blocks the apparatus being designed to simultaneously lay a plurality of interlocking blocks of an 'axehead' shape, i.e. a generally rectangular block having a first pair of opposed sides concavely curved and a second pair of opposed sides convexly curved.
  • Such blocks are laid with adjacent blocks turned through 90° relative to one another so as to form an interlocking relationship.
  • the apparatus is constructed from a main frame assembly comprising a base 10 and uprights 12, one of the latter at each of the four corners of a rectangular area, the uprights 12 being arranged in pairs at respective sides of the apparatus.
  • the uprights of each pair each include a vertical section 14 and an upper inwardly angled section 16, the sections 16 being interconnected at their upper ends by a frame member 18 which extends laterally of the apparatus between each pair of uprights 12.
  • the base 10 includes a longitudinally extending box section frame member 20 at one side of the apparatus and a channel member 22 extending laterally along the rear of the apparatus and being opPn at its inwardly facing wall.
  • the channel member 22 extends laterally beyond the location of the respective uprights 12 at the sid p remote from the frame member 20.
  • a further channel arrangement extends laterally and comprises a removable channel part 24 at the box frome member 20 and a fixed channel part 26 aligned with the channel port 24 and extending laterally from a location inwardly of the respective pair of uprights 12 to a location laterally outwardly of these uprights 12, the free end of the channel part 26 being aligned with the free end of the laterally extending channel member 22.
  • the frame structure provides a support 28 on which is mounted a pair of inboard drive wheels 30 for the apparatus, there being further providpd a diesel engine 32 for driving the wheels 30 and a steering assembly 34 connected with the drive wheels 30 in a conventional manner, being controlled by a steering wheel 36 located substantially centrally of the apparatus on an operator platform 38 supported by the frame structure.
  • the support 28 also locates a fuel tank 40 and an air reservoir 42, while the engine 32 is operatively connected with a compressor 44 for a purpose hereinafter described.
  • the frame structure freely mounts a pair of outboard larger sized wheels 46.
  • The. construction of the apparatus is such as to define a substantially U-shaped arrangement where the rear side is formed as the base of the U and the front side is open, although it can be closed by the mounting thereon of the removable channel part 24.
  • a pneumatic piston and cylinder assembly 48 On the upper, laterally extending frame member 18 there is mounted a pneumatic piston and cylinder assembly 48, the open end of the fixed cylinder 50 having connected thereto one end of a rope 52.
  • the piston 54 mounts at its outer end a pulley 56 and the rope 52 is wrapped around the pulley 56 and around a fixed pulley 58 so as to be able to be suspended substantially centrally of the U-shaped area of the apparatus.
  • the rope 52 is connected to a scissors lift assembly 60 on the lower ends of the arms of which are mounted downwardly extending clamping arms 62.
  • a horizontal support 66 At a lower end of a centre vertical support 64 of the lift assembly 60 there is provided a horizontal support 66 extending longitudinally of the apparatus and mounting a further pair of guide rods 68.
  • Each of the clamping arms 62 is provided at its lower end with a projecting lug 70 presenting respective upper and lower angled faces 72, 74. These lugs 70 operatively engage with lugs 76 pivotally mounted on the frame structure and each presenting an angled operating face 78 for a purpose hereinafter described. It will be appreciated that reciprocal movement of the piston 54 in the cylinder 50 will effect raising and lowering of the scissors lift assembly 60 and thus the arms and rods 62, 68.
  • a block support platform 80 has guides 82 slidably located by means of linear bearings 84 in the channel arrangement 22, 24, 26 and is movable therein by means of a piston/cylinder assembly 86.
  • the platform 80 is movable between an outboard position where it extends between the fixed channel part 26 and the laterally outwardly extending section of the channel. member 22 to be clear of the central part of the U-area of the apparatus, and an inboard position where it extends between the removable channel part 24 (when this is mounted in the apparatus) and the inner section of the channel member 22 for a purpose hereinafter described.
  • a clamping frame.88 (Fig. 5) positioned below a laterally extending section 90 of the fixed operator platform 38.
  • the latter is spaced inwardly of the movable platform 80 and the clamping frame 88 at both the front and rear of the apparatus, and also inwardly of the outer edge of the clamping frame 88 and the platform 80 when the latter is in . its outboard position.
  • the clamping frame 88 comprises a member 92 extending laterally relative to the apparatus, and fixed centrally of the member 92, to extend at right-angles thereto, is a piston/cylinder assembly 94, the cylinder 96 being fixed at one end to the member 92 and the piston 98 being connected at its outer end to a frame member 100 extending parallel to the member 92.
  • the member 100 mounts a series of downwardly projecting clamps 102, one clamp at each end and a third clamp centrally thereof.
  • a further frame member 104 is provided on the opposed side of the fixed member 92 from the member 100 and also mounts a similar series of downwardly extending clamps 102.
  • the members 100, 104 are interconnected by a pair of telescopic rod and tube assemblies 106 extending longitudinally, relative to the apparatus, at respective ends of the members 100, 104.
  • the tubes 108 of the assemblies 106 are each fixed at one end to the frame member 104, with the frame member 92 being mounted at either end on respective ones of the tubes 108.
  • the rods 110 of the assemblies 106 extend outwardly of the tubes 108 and are each fixed at the outer ends to the frame member 100.
  • a fixed collar 112 is provided on each of the rods 110 and a compression spring 114 surrounds each of the rods 110 and extends between the collar 112 and an end abutment 116 on the respective tube 108.
  • a semicircular control arm 118 connected with the member 92 and accessible to an operator located on the section 90 of the operator platform 38.
  • a control lever 120 which operates the assembly 94.
  • a control lever 121 which operates a piston/cylinder assembly 150 as hereinafter described.
  • a rope 122 is connected centrally of the clamping frame on the axis of the control arm 118 to extend to an intermediate connector ring 136 to which is also connected a rope 138.
  • the latter extends upwardly around a pulley 128 which is mounted to extend laterally outwardly of the apparatus over the outboard position and therefrom the rope 138 extends laterally across the top of the apparatus around a further pulley 130 supported laterally outwardly at the opposed side of the apparatus.
  • the rope 138 is then suspended fiom the pulley 130 and has a counter-balance weight 132 connected to its free end. Also at the same side of the apparatus a fixed counter-balance weight 134 is mounted on the frame structure.
  • a further rope 140 is attached to the connector 136 and extends around the pulley 128 and a pulley 142 at the opposed side of the apparatus frame from the outboard position.
  • the free end of the rope 140 is connected to a counter-balance weight 144 and the latter has a downwardly extending rigid member 146 engageable by the free end of a piston 148 reciprocable in a cylinder of the pneumatic piston/cylinder assembly 150. Movement of the piston 148 can render the effect of the weight 144 effective or ineffective according to the actuation or release of the control lever 121 on the control arm 118.
  • the rope 122 attached to the clamping frame for counterbalancing the weight of the frame and of the blocks is provided with a twist connection 166 intermediate its length so that any twisting of the rope 122 at the clamping frame end will not affect the movement around the pulleys and thus the effect of the counter-balance weights.
  • a plurality of stacked layers of interlocking concrete axehead blocks are positioned at predetermined intervals along the length of an area which is to be paved.
  • the apparatus is firstly driven by an operator standing on the operator platform 38 by operating conventional controls and the steering wheel 36. With the movable channel part 24 removed, the apparatus is driven to the location of a first stack 154 of interlocking blocks, preferably at or near the first laying location, and the apparatus is positioned such that the stack 154 is centrally located within the U-area, below the scissors lift assembly 60. Operation of the pneu- motic assembly 48 by the operator by means ot suitoble controls will then lower the lift assembly 60, with the arms 62 and rods 68 on respective sides of the stack 154.
  • the weight of the assembly 60 enables movement past the lugs 76,and engagement of the angled faces 74 of the lugs 70 with the faces 78 of the lugs 76 will pivot the latter to an inoperative position, allowing the lugs 70 to pass.
  • the arms and rods 62, 68 are in position around the stack 154, reverse operation of the pneumatic assembly 48 will raise the lift assembly 60, but the upper faces 72 of the lugs 70 abut lower edges of the lugs 76, such that movement past the latter is temporarily prevented.
  • the removable channel part 24 can then be repositioned on the apparatus and while the apparatus is being moved to the laying location, the operator, by means of the pneumatic assembly 86, can move the platform 80 to a position beneath the stock 154. Further operation of the pneumatic assembly 48 can then lower the lift assembly 60 with the stock 154 past the lugs 76 until the stack 154 rests on the platform 80. Further lowering of the assembly 60 will firstly cause the slightly longer guide rods 68 to engage the platform 80 and bring the scissors action into effect such that the clamping arms 62 are released from engagement with the stack 154. Subsequent raising of the lift assembly 60 will then cause the arms and rods 62, 68 to lift while still clear of the stack 154 until the lugs 70 engage with the lugs 76.
  • a further propulsion lever 160 is provided in the apparatus, having a control lever 162 at its lower end for operation by the operator when the latter is in the kneeling position, and a control lever 164 at its upper end used when the operator is in the standing position.
  • the operator can swing the clamping frame 88, incorporating the layer of blocks, forward and downward into position on the ground.
  • the clamping can be released such that the layer of blocks is left in its laid position.
  • automatic operation of the pneumatic assembly 152 disengages the piston 148 from the rigid member 146 to thus allow the weight 144 to become effective.
  • automatic operation of the pneumatic assembly 150 engages the piston with the rigid member 146 thus rendering the weight 144 ineffective.
  • the apparatus can then be driven to the next laying location while meantime a further layer of blocks from the stack 154 has been deposited on the platform 80 and the loiter has been transferred to the laying position. On arrival at the next laying location, the apparatus is therefore again ready for laying of a layer of blocks by the operator.
  • the twist connection 166 facilitates movement of the clamping frame through 90 0 for the laying of alternate layers.
  • the removable channel part may be hinged to the apparatus frame, and the frame construction and construction of many of the other components, as well as the disposition of the components in the apparatus can vary from that described and shown, provided the apparatus is still capable of carrying out the desired functions. It will be appreciated that the apparatus could be designed to lay blocks of other than axehead shape.
