Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an earth-working machine such as an excavator for digging ditches in road construction.
  • a known excavator 1 for trenching in and along one lane of a road is placed on that lane, blocking off the traffic on the lane while allowing the traffic on the other lane.
  • a bucket arm 2 of the excavator 1 is moved up and down to cause a bucket 3 on the bucket arm 2 to dig a trench 4 in and along the road lane.
  • the material scooped by the bucket 3 is then dumped onto a loading platform 6 of a truck 5 positioned behind the excavator 1.
  • the excavator 1 is required to move back in the direction of the arrow Z so as to avoid falling into the trench 4 which has just been dug.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an earth-working machine having an earth-working mechanism capable of turning along a path of reduced radius, and which therefore may operate without interfering with other activities around the machine, such as for example, traffic.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an earth-working machine operable within a small space so as to avoid accidents such as traffic accidents or injuries to people around the machine.
  • an earth-working machine comprising: a mobile chassis; a first gear fixedly mounted on the mobile chassis; a turntable pivotally mounted on the first gear to rotate through 360°; a carriage rotatably mounted on the turntable and eccentric to the first gear; a second gear mounted on the carriage and eccentric to the first gear; an earth-working mechanism mounted on the carriage; a first driving means mounted on the turntable in driving engagement with the first gear to rotate the turntable; characterised in that the carriage is rotatable through 360° and there is means engaging with the second gear for rotating the carriage about an axis of the second gear, independently of the first driving means.
  • the excavator is of the self-propelled type having a flat mobile chassis 10 supporting two pairs of wheels 11 which each carry an endless track 12.
  • the mobile chassis 10 includes a central support base 13 ( Figures 3, 4 and 6) mounted thereon and having an upper annular flange on which an octagonal turntable 14 is rotatably mounted.
  • the turntable 14 supports thereon an engine 15, a fuel tank 16, and a hydraulic oil tank 17 arranged along a rear edge of the turntable 14.
  • a hydraulic motor 18 is also mounted on the turntable 14 adjacent to the fuel tank 16 and has a drive shaft 36 ( Figure 6) directed downwardly of the turntable 14.
  • annular horizontal holder base 19 is fixedly mounted on the turntable 14 at a front edge thereof.
  • the annular holder base 19 has an axis held in horizontally eccentric relation to the axis of the support base 13 and hence the turntable 14.
  • a circular carriage 20 is rotatably mounted coaxially on the holder base 19.
  • the carriage 20 includes a vertical support 21 to which a pair of vertically spaced legs 22 is secured.
  • a bracket 26 is pivotably mounted on the legs 22 and supports thereon a bent boom 27 which is vertically angularly movable about a pivot on the bracket 26.
  • the boom 27 supports on its distal end a bucket arm 28 having a bucket 29 pivotally mounted on a distal end of the bucket arm 28.
  • Hydraulic cylinders 30, 31, 32 are coupled respectively between the bracket 26 and a central portion of the boom 27, between a central portion of the boom 27 and an end of the bucket arm 28, and between the bucket arm 28 and the bucket 29.
  • the boom 27, the bucket arm 28, the bucket 29, and the hydraulic cylinders 30, 31, 32 jointly constitute an excavating mechanism 47.
  • the bracket 26 also supports a seat base 23 on which there are mounted an operator seat 24 and a hydraulic control box 25 having a plurality of control levers 25a.
  • annular internal gear 33 is fixedly mounted on an annular flange of the support base 13.
  • a slider ring 35 is disposed securely below the turntable 14and rotatablyfitted about the internal gear 33 with ball bearings 34 interposed therebetween.
  • the turntable 14 is rotatable on the first gear 33.
  • a pinion 37 is fixed to the drive shaft 36 of the hydraulic motor 18 and held in driving mesh with the internal gear 33.
  • the turntable 14 has an L-shaped bracket 38 which extends downwards into the internal gear 33.
  • the holder base 19 supports an annular holder 43.
  • the carriage 20 has an annular internal gear 45 fixed to the underside thereof, which rotatably fits in the annular holder 43 with ball bearings 44.
  • the carriage 20 is rotatably upon the annular holder43.
  • Theturntable 14 supports another hydraulic motor 50 and a T-shaped support 51 dependent therefrom and supporting on its lower end a bearing mount 52 on which a pair of bearings 53, 54 is mounted within the support base 13.
  • the hydraulic motor 50 has a drive shaft 55 extending downwards through the internal gear 33 into the support base 13 and has a lower end journalled in the bearing 53.
  • An intermediate vertical shaft 56 is journalled in a bearing 40 on the turntable 14 and in the bearing 54 on the bearing mount 52.
  • sprockets 57, 58 are secured to the shafts 55, 56, respectively, and an endless chain 59 is trained around the sprockets 57, 58.
  • a pinion 46 held in mesh with the internal gear 45 is fixed to the upper end of the intermediate shaft 56, as shown in Figures 6 and 7.
  • the bucket 29 ( Figure 2) with the material dug can be brought over the chassis 10 from the front to the rear position by actuating the hydraulic motors 18,50 in synchronism to turn the turntable 14 and the carriage 20 in opposite directions. More specifically, the hydraulic motor 18 is actuated to turn the turntable 14 about the axis of the internal gear 33. The carriage 20 is angularly moved with the turntable 14 about the axis thereof. The hydraulic motor 50 is also operated to rotate the pinion 46 through the drive shaft 55, the sprocket 57, the chain 59, the sprocket 58, and the intermediate shaft 56. The internal gear 45 is then caused by the pinion 46 to rotate about its own axis.
  • the carriage 20 is rotated about the axis of the internal gear 45 while revolving around the axis of the turntable 14.
  • the hydraulic motors 18, 50 are designed to rotate their shafts 36, 55 in opposite directions so that the excavating mechanism 47 ( Figures 9 and 10) will turn in a direction opposite to the direction in which the turntable 14 rotates, toward the rear position over the engine 15, the fuel tank 16 and the hydraulic oil tank 17.
  • the carriage 20 will rotate through an angle twice largerthan the angle of rotation of the turntable 14, the carriage 20 rotates through 360° when the turntable rotates through 180° to bring the excavating mechanism 47 from a front central position forward of the chassis 10 to a rear central position rearward of the chassis 10.
  • the carriage 20 While the excavating mechanism 47 is rotating above the carriage 20, the carriage 20 is positioned on one side of the chassis 10 with the excavating mechanism 47 as folded being located on the other side. There is no danger for the excavating mechanism 47 to project laterally when the turntable makes angular movement through 90°. Therefore, the excavating mechanism 47 can be turned around within the width of the chassis 10.
  • the hydraulic motors 18, 50 can be actuated independently of each other to allow the excavating mechanism 47 to dig side trenches as shown in Figures 9 and 10. More specifically, the hydraulic motor 18 is actuated to turn the turntable 14 slightly until the carriage 20 is angularly shifted counterclockwise to one side of the chassis 14 through an angle of 8 1 as shown in Figure 9. Then the hydraulic motor 50 is operated to rotate the carriage 20 clockwise with respect to the turntable 14 through the same angle 8 1 .
  • the excavating mechanism 47 is now directed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the excavator with the bucket located in a lateral position spaced a distance W1 from the longitudinal axis of the excavator so as to make the bucket ready for trenching a side ditch. Thereafter, the hydraulic cylinder of the excavating mechanism can be actuated to enable the bucket to dig a side ditch or laterally enlarge an existing ditch. As shown in Figure 10, the turntable 14 and the carriage 20 may be turned clockwise and counterclockwise through angle of 8 2 , respectively, to allow the bucket to trench another side ditch spaced a distance W2 from the longitudinal axis of the excavator. Although not shown, the turntable 14 and the carriage 20 may be adjusted in their angles of turn to enable the excavating mechanism 47 to project laterally beyond the width of the chassis 10 for digging an outside trench beyond one of the endless tracks.
  • Figures 11 to 14 illustrate an excavator according to a further embodiment of the present invention.
  • an intermediate shaft 41 journalled in the bearings 39, 40 has a vertical axial extension 80 extending through the internal gear 45 and has axial splines 80a ( Figure 12).
  • a pinion 81 is axially slidably splined to the axial extension 80 and normally held in driving mesh with the internal gear 45.
  • the pinion 81 is axially movable out of meshing engagement with the internal gear 45 when shifted in the direction of the arrow ( Figure 12).
  • a lever 82 is pivotably mounted at one end on a support post 83 mounted on the turntable 14 and has on the other end a roller 85 riding in a groove 84 defined in the pinion 81.
  • An actuator lever 86 is connected to the lever 82 and depress- able toward the turntable 14 for angularly moving the lever 82 about the pivot on the support post 83 to shift the pinion 81 out of meshing engagement with the internal gear 45.
  • the turntable 14 supports another hydraulic motor 87 below the carriage 20.
  • the hydraulic motor 87 has a drive shaft 88 extending upwards into the internal gear 45 and has a pinion 89 held in driving mesh with the internal gear 45.
  • the excavator of this embodiment operates for synchronous rotation of the turntable 14 and the carriage 20, the hydraulic motor 18 is actuated, the motor 87 is inactivated, and the pinion 81 kept in mesh with the internal gear 45.
  • the turntable 14 is then rotated about the axis of the internal gear 33, and at the same time the pinions 42, 81 are rotated about their own axes.
  • the internal gear 45 in mesh with the pinion 81 and hence the carriage 20 is rotated about the axis of the annular holder 43.
  • the carriage 20 is thus rotated in one direction about its own axis while angularly moving with the turntable 14 in an opposite direction about the axis of the latter.
  • the bucket folded to the excavating mechanism is moved over the turntable 14 from a front position to a rear position without laterally projecting out of the space range substantially equal to the width of the excavator chassis.
  • the actuator lever 86 When it is desired to rotate the turntable 14 and the carriage 20 independently of each other, the actuator lever 86 is depressed to turn the lever 82 counterclockwise to shift the pinion 81 upwards out of meshing engagement with the internal gear 45.
  • the internal gear 45 can then rotate independently of the internal gear 33.
  • the hydraulic motor 87 is then actuated to rotate the pinion 89 and thereby the internal gear 45 in mesh therewith.
  • the carriage 20 is therefore rotated solely by the hydraulic motor 87.
  • the excavating mechanism can freely be rotated with the carriage 20 through 360° to any desired position.
  • the excavating mechanism can be positioned as desired with respect to the turntable 14; for example, the excavating mechanism may be shifted sideways to trench a side ditch, or may be stored over the turntable 14 with the latter remaining unrotated.
  • the actuator lever 86 is moved back to bring the pinion 81 downwards to mesh with the internal gear 45.
  • the hydraulic motor 18 is then actuated while the hydraulic motor 87 is rendered inoperative.
  • the bucket of the excavating mechanism can be brought back and forth between front and rear positions with respect to the chassis over the devices mounted on the turntable.
  • the bucket need not project laterally and hence interfere with activities around the excavator such as traffic on a lane of the road adjacent to the lane on which the excavator is used. Consequently, the digging operation of the excavator can be carried out in a minimum space range allowing as much traffic as possible adjacent to the excavator while in operation.
  • the carriage can be rotated independently of the turntable so that the excavating mechanism . can be laterally shifted for trenching desired side ditches or stored back above the turntable easily.
