Definitions
- the present invention relates to earthmovers such as excavators, shovels and the like, and more particularly to a composite tooth formed from a crown and crown holder for such machines.
- the crown is usually chocked onto the crown holder or tooth and is fixed through a pin or key, the crown holder having a wedge-shaped part which connects to an appropriately shaped cavity formed in the crown.
- all the methods for coupling crowns and crown holders or teeth available at present are not able to exclude certain movements of the crown on and in respect to the crown holder which inevitably lead to its wearing. This therefore alters the coupling conditions and renders the crown holder unsuitable for holding a new crown correctly.
- Other fixing methods ensure a rigid blocking of the crown to the crown holder but do not permit an easy disassembly. So, the extraction of the fixing means is infact full of problems and difficult thus preventing a simple substitution of the crown.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate these problems and inconveniences through a new way of coupling and fixing the crown to the crown holder or tooth designed to prevent undue movements of the crown, to minimize the wearing of the surfaces which touch the two elements and to automatically recuperate space both in the coupling and clearance resulting in the minimum wear which can take place.
- Fig. 1 therefore represents the crown holder (10), the crown (11) and the elastic key (12) designed to form a composite tooth which is to be applied to the blade of earthmovers.
- the crown holder (10) can have an attachment shank (10a) being of any configuration according to the type and model of the machine to which the tooth is to be fitted.
- the crown (11) can also vary in shape depending on its destination.
- the free end of the crown holder (10) is tapered (Fig. 1 and 2) so as to form a snug (13) whose sides have at least two sloped shoulders (14) which diverge from each other starting from the snug (13) each at an angle which can vary within a wide range, for example from 20 to 60°, but preferably at about 45°.
- the crown holder (10) also has a transversal through hole (15) being of a general oval section in the direction of the length of the element, in other words in the direction of its coupling to the crown. Said hole (15) is in an intermediate position between the shoulders (14) and the attachment shank (10a) and can be of an elliptic shape or also formed from two holes of different intersection diametres.
- the crown (11) has a cavity (11a) designed to receive the crown holder (10) obviously less the attachment shank (10a).
- Such a cavity (11a) of the crown (11) (Figs. 3 and 4) has the same shape of the crown holder (10) and more precisely a recess (16) is formed on the bottom of said cavity having two slopes (17) on its sides. Said slopes diverge from the recess (16) towards the cavity opening.
- the bottom recess (16) is of such a shape and size so as to hold the snug (13) of the crown holder (10), whilst the slopes (17) are placed and angled so as to match the shoulders (14).
- Even the crown (11) has a transversal through hole (18) with an oval section in a transversal direction similar to the hole (15) of the crown holder (10), the transversal holes (15, 18) being aligned when the crown holder and crown are coupled.
- the elastic key (12) which is already known, is contractible and expandable in a transveral direction. It has a head with a blocking lug (12a) on each of its opposite ends.
- the crown holder (10) is fixed to the blade of the desired machine and the crown (11) is chocked onto the crown holder and blocked through the loaded key.
- the coupling (Figs. 5 and 6) is secured by the key (12) which is prevented from accidentally withdrawing from the holes (15, 18) by its blocking lugs (12a) which rest against the sides of the crown holder and in such a way that the heads of the key are enclosed in the holes (18) of the crown.
- the snug (13) is inserted into the bottom recess (16) (Figs. 5 and 6) it helps to prevent the lateral movements of the crown (11) on the crown holder.
- the preloaded elastic key (12) keeps the crown tightly chocked to the crown holder making the slopes (17) inside the crown continuously rest against the sloped shoulders (14) at the sides of the snug of the crown holder. Due to the oval-shaped holes (15, 18) the crown, which is constantly stressed by the elastic key, slightly slides towards the shank of the crown holder. Said elastic key tends to "pull" the crown on the crown holder therefore recuperating any clearance in the coupling and other causes of wear. The crown therefore always results as being correctly centred and chocked on the crown holder positively and constantly resting against the sloped shoulders (14). The stress to which the crown is subjected is then mainly unloaded on said sloped shoulders without engaging the key. The function of this key is therefore limited to maintain the assembly of the two elements and is easily extractable through the drift or other means, at any moment in order to change the crown.
