Description
- The present invention relates to a combination of a quick mount and a bucket particularly for fixing buckets to earth-moving machines.
- The need to replace buckets in any moment, for example during excavations or earth-moving work with earth-moving machines equipped with such buckets, is known.
- According to the kind of work and to the room available, different buckets are in fact normally provided which can be interchangeably associated with a same earth-moving machine.
- Current types of mount between buckets and earth-moving machines comprise the insertion of dowels or pins in complementary holes provided on protrusions defined on the two parts to be associated.
- Though they achieve their specific purposes, such kinds of mount are not free from disadvantages, among which considerable difficulty in achieving the correct positioning of the earth-moving machine with respect to the bucket in order to insert the fixing dowels or pins.
- Two operators are furthermore always required to perform the mount: one for maneuvering the earth-moving machine, the other one for inserting said dowels.
- US-A-4 355 945, which discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1, shows a hitch component for mounting a bucket to a boom. The hitch component has its upper side connectable to the boom, and is provided with, at one end thereof, a notch which engages with a first bar on the bucket. At the other end of the hitch component, a pivoting locking arm, actuated by a hydraulic jack, engages with a second bar provided on the bucket.
- The aim of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages described above in the known art by providing a quick mount capable of achieving the substantially immediate replacement of buckets of various sizes and kinds on earth-moving machines.
- A consequent primary object is to provide a quick mount, particularly for fixing buckets to earth-moving machines, which allows the machine operator to perform the replacement operation autonomously.
- Another important object is to provide a quick mount characterized by easy use and complete absence of maintenance.
- Another object is to provide a quick mount which can be easily installed and adapted to current earth-moving machines and to current kinds of buckets.
- Not least object is to provide a quick mount which can be manufactured at low costs with current production systems.
- This aim, these objects and others which will become apparent hereinafter are achieved by a quick mount as defined in the appended claims.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the detailed description of two embodiments, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- figure 1 is a side view of a mount according to a first aspect of the invention, in a first step of the mutual fixing of the parts;
- figure 2 is a view of the mount of figure 1 after the parts have been mutually fixed;
- figures 3, 4 and 5 are perspective views which illustrate the various steps of the fixing of a bucket to the arm of an earth-moving machine by means of the quick mount of figure 1;
- With reference to figures 1 to 5, a quick mount according to the invention is generally indicated, in a first embodiment, by the reference numeral 1 and comprises a support constituted by a
metallic plate 2; two firstparallel wings 3, made of thick sheet metal, are upwardly and longitudinally welded orthogonally to said plate; said wings are provided, at their ends, with coaxial pairs oftransverse holes - As illustrated in figures 3 to 5, the end of the
arm 6 is conveniently articulated between saidholes 4, while the end of alever system 7 actuated by ahydraulic piston 8 is articulated between saidholes 5. - Two second
parallel wings 9, made of thick sheet metal and having a substantially elongated rectangular profile, are longitudinally welded below saidplate 2; anelement 10 extends downwards from an end of each of saidsecond wings 9 on the side articulated to thearm 6, and has anend 11 which is outwardly curved in the shape of an arc of a circle. - A half-
shell 12, conveniently made by diametrically cutting a metal tube, is transversely welded between the twoends 11 of theelements 10. - A transversely perforated
element 13 for the pivoting ot atubular element 14 is upwardly welded in a substantially orthogonal position at the end of eachsecond wing 9 which is arranged opposite to the articulation of thearm 6. - The rotoidal coupling between the pair of
elements 13 and thetubular element 14 is achieved by inserting, in appropriate end seats of saidelement 14,elastic means 15 of the kind commonly termed "silent block" and by then inserting axially to said elastic means a threadedpin 16 provided with a locking nut. - A
hook 17 is welded radially to saidtubular element 14; said hook is substantially composed of ametal plate 18 which has ametal strip 19 welded to its free end on its outer side; said strip has anouter rounding 20 which in practice joins the two surfaces which are not adapted to be coupled. - Said
hook 17 is kept arranged downwards and substantially orthogonal to saidplate 2 as it is rigidly associated by means of bolts to anelement 21 which protrudes downwards from saidplate 2. - An
elastic rubber element 22 is interposed between saidhook 17 and theelement 21; its compression allows said hook a certain degree of rotation about thepivot 16. - A
bush 23 is transversely welded on thetubular element 14 in a position diametrically opposite to saidhook 17; the end of alever 24 can be inserted in said bush, said lever allowing the above mentioned rotation when manually actuated. - The quick mount 1 can be associated with the upper portion of a
bucket 25 which is conveniently provided with a pair of thirdlongitudinal wings 26 made of thick sheet metal, between which a largecylindrical pivot 27 is transversely welded on the side of saidelements 10; the outer surface of saidpivot 27 is shaped complementarily to the inner surface of saidhalf shell 12. - A
crosspiece 28 is welded to thebucket 25 on the side of saidhook 17; said crosspiece is upwardly chamfered and downwardly shaped complementarily with respect to the coupling regions of said hook. - The various steps of the fixing of a bucket to an earth-moving machine are illustrated in figures 3, 4 and 5, which illustrate a first step of approach of the
operating arm 6 to thebucket 25, with the mount 1 in a substantially vertical position due to the traction exerted on thelever system 7 by thehydraulic piston 8. - A second step consists in inserting the half-
shell 12 between thepivot 27 and the upper part of saidbucket 25. - By subsequently actuating the
lever system 7 by means of thehydraulic piston 8, the mount 1 is rotated about thepivot 27 until therounded portion 20 of thehook 17 makes contact with the chamfered portion of thecrosspiece 28. - As said rotation of the mount 1 continues, the
crosspiece 28 forces thehook 17 to rotate about its articulation pivot until it stably engages. - If the
bucket 25 is to be released from thearm 6, it is sufficient to insert thelever 24 in thebush 23 and to rotate thehook 17 until it disengages from thecrosspiece 28, subsequently performing the above described operations in reverse sequence. - Said bushes are in fact subject to considerable wear, since they are heavily stressed during the use of the bucket.
- From what has been described and illustrated above it is therefore evident that the invention brilliantly achieves the intended aim and objects, a mount having been provided which allows the substantially immediate replacement of buckets on earth moving machines.
- The speed and ease of the coupling and uncoupling operations allows their execution on the part of a single operator, in particular the operator of the earth moving machine.
- The invention is furthermore composed of simple elements which can be mutually assembled without difficulty, and this makes it constructively convenient and competitive as regards its sales price.
- All the details may furthermore be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
- In practice, the materials employed, so long as compatible with the contingent use, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to the requirements.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the scope of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
