Definitions
- the present invention relates to a duplicate layout of control lever sets of a distributor of hydraulic equipment for trucks, particularly hydraulic cranes.
- control lever set is usually duplicated on both sides of the truck, so as to allow to control the crane or the like even when one side of said truck cannot be accessed.
- GB-2,116,937A discloses a dual control arrangement for vehicular cranes comprises two control units placed at opposite sides of a vehicle, each unit comprising a plurality of manually actuated control members arranged to actuate a corresponding number of valves determining the functions of the crane.
- FR-2,523,544 already discloses a duplicate layout of axial sets of control levers in which the levers of one set are kinematically connected to the corresponding levers of the other set by means of a bundle of transmission rods which physically cross each other at the central longitudinal plane of the truck.
- This layout provides a strict mirror-symmetry of the levers of the control sets with respect to the central longitudinal plane of the truck, but it requires considerable transverse space, which is not always available, and the maneuver of the innermost levers can furthermore be hindered by the outermost ones and this can cause unintended actuations, or the simultaneous actuation of two or more levers.
- the aim of the present invention is to obviate these drawbacks of conventional layouts and this aim is achieved with a duplicate layout of axial sets of control levers which has the specific characteristics stated in the appended claims.
- the layout according to the invention is a duplicate layout of sets of control levers of a distributor of hydraulic equipment for trucks, particularly for hydraulic cranes, wherein the sets have the same axial sequential arrangement of the levers as specified, a direct control set being provided with first levers whose respective arms are axially aligned with first forks for the articulation of the ends of corresponding transmission rods and the other duplicate control set being provided with second levers whose arms are axially offset with respect to second forks for the articulation of the other ends of the transmission rods, each one of the axially offset arms being connected to said corresponding second forks by means of its own arm portion, which portion is folded substantially at right angles and extends parallel to the axis of the pivoting shaft of the second articulation forks.
- reference numeral 10 generally designates the hydraulic distributor that activates the different functions Fa-Fb-Fc-Fd-Fe of a hydraulic unit, typically a crane with telescoping arms (not shown), which is installed on a truck or the like.
- the distributor 10 is controlled by similar axial sets 11-12, each provided with respective levers 110a-110e and 120a-120e, which are arranged on either side of the truck.
- the levers of each set whose number is equal to the number of functions to be controlled, are arranged side by side along a direction which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the truck and have a progressive sequential layout, indicated by a succession of letters of the alphabet which are, for example, ordered from left to right, for both sets 11-12, so that the operator encounters the same sequential distribution both when he works on the set 11 and when he works on the set 12.
- a direct control set for example the set 11, is provided with a bundle of levers 110a-e, each of which has a respective straight arm which is axially aligned with a first set of forks 13'a-e for the articulation of the ends of corresponding rods 14a-e for transmitting the actuation to the other duplicate control set 12.
- Said duplicate control set is instead provided with respective levers 120a-e in which the respective arm is axially offset with respect to the forks 13"a-e of a second set which are designed to articulate the other ends of the actuation transmission rods 14a-e.
- each lever such as 120a-e is connected to the corresponding transmission fork 13"a-e by means of a portion 121a-e of its own arm which is folded substantially at right angles and lies parallel to the axis of the shaft 15 for the pivoting of the set of forks 13"a-e.
- the intended reversal of the controls is obtained which allows the corresponding levers of the two sets, the direct one and the duplicate one 11-12, such as for example the lever 110a and the lever 120a, to act on the same valve of the distributor 10.

Abstract
Description
Claims (3)
- A duplicate layout of sets (11-12) of control levers of a distributor (10) of hydraulic equipment for trucks, wherein said sets have the same axial sequential arrangement of the levers (110a-e; 120a-e) as specified, a direct control set (11) being provided with first levers (110a-e) whose respective arms are axially aligned with first forks (13'a-e) for the articulation of the ends of corresponding transmission rods (14a-e) and the other duplicate control set (12) being provided with second levers (120a-e) whose arms are axially offset with respect to second forks (13"a-e) for the articulation of the other ends of said transmission rods (14a-e), each one of said axially offset arms being connected to said corresponding second forks (13"a-e) by means of its own arm portion (121a-e) characterized in that said arm portion is folded substantially at right angles and extends parallel to the axis of the pivoting shaft (15) of said second articulation forks (13"a-e).
- The duplicate layout according to claim 1, characterized in that the second levers (120a-e) of the duplicate set have a sequential layout which is reversed with respect to the sequential layout of said second articulation forks (13"a-e), so that the first lever on the left (120a) of said second levers actuates, with its right-angled portion (121a), the last fork on the right (13"a) of said second forks and the last lever on the right (120e) of said second levers actuates, with its right-angled portion (121e), the oscillation of the first fork on the left (13"e) of said second forks.
- The duplicate layout according to claims 1 or 2, characterized in that said truck is a hydraulic crane.
