Abstract
Description
- The present invention is directed to a shielding for enclosing a control aperture in a control console, a moveable control lever extends through the aperture. The present invention is further directed to a control console for a work vehicle comprising a shielding and to a work vehicle comprising a control console with a shielding.
- In operating a work vehicle, such as a loader backhoe, the operator controls a plurality of work operations through manipulating various control levers that control the positioning of hydraulic control valves. The hydraulic control valves in turn regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid to hydraulic cylinders that manipulate the work implement.
- On some loader backhoes the operator controls the backhoe by operating two control levers. In this control configuration, fore-and-aft movement of the left hand control lever lowers and raises the boom. Side-to-side movement of the left hand control lever moves the boom side-to-side. Fore-and-aft movement of the right hand control lever pivots the dipperstick relative to the boom. Side-to-side movement of the right hand control lever curls and uncurls the bucket relative to the dipperstick.
- The control levers extend upwardly through a control console located in the rear of the operators cab. Each control lever is operatively coupled to a control linkage that manipulates a hydraulic control valve in response to movement of the control lever. In the above described control configuration each control lever controls two hydraulic control valves.
- The control console is provided with control apertures through which the control levers pass. These apertures are larger than the diameter of the control lever to allow for pivotal movement of the control lever. To prevent dust, dirt and debris from entering the control console, the control aperture may be covered by a rubber boot that engages the control lever and the edge of the control aperture. In another application steel discs can be welded to the control levers. These steel discs are designed to be located below the control apertures. They are not in contact with the interior wall of the console, as this would restrict the free movement of the control lever.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple and free-floating control lever shield.
- These and other objects are achieved by the present invention according to one of the claims 1, 9 of 11. Further advantageous arrangements and developments of the invention appear from the dependent claims.
- In an advantageous embodiment of the present invention the operation of a work implement is typically controlled by a control lever extending out from a control console. The control console itself comprises a housing having a control aperture through which the control lever extends. The housing has enclosing walls defining an interior that typically houses a portion of the control linkage. The enclosing walls have an interior surface and an exterior surface. A rigid shield having an opening is slidably mounted on the control lever. The rigid shield is provided with a top side that is in free floating contact with the interior surface of the control console housing and a bottom side that faces the control linkage. The free floating contact is maintained by a spring that extends between the control linkage and the bottom side of the shield. The spring biases the shield upwardly so that the top side of the shield is in contact with the interior surface of the housing thereby providing a free floating shield that prevents dust, dirt and debris from entering the console through the control aperture.
- In the illustrated embodiment the shield comprises a circular plastic having a central opening. The spring comprises a coil spring defining an internal cylinder that is aligned with the central opening and through which the control lever extends.
- The invention and further advantageous developments and arrangements of the invention will now be described and explained in more detail by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

The control levers 34 and 36 can be moved in two orthogonal directions or control arcs, fore-and-aft and side-to-side. For example, moving the left-hand control lever 34 fore-and-aft lowers and raises the
boom 23 by extending and retracting the internally mounted hydraulic cylinder. Moving left-hand control lever 34 side-to-side pivots theswing frame 21 by extending and retracting swing framehydraulic cylinders 29. - The control levers 34 and 36 extend upwardly from
hydraulic control linkage 40. Thelinkage 40 comprises aball joint 42 that is mounted to the supportingstructure 12 of thework vehicle 10. A shelf extending outwardly from the supportingstructure 12 is provided with a vertical post on which theball joint 42 is mounted.Plates 44 each having three downwardly depending tangs 46, 48 and 50 are welded to the bases of the control levers 34 and 36.Tang 46 of theplate 44 is pivotally mounted to theball joint 42 bybolts 52. Tang 46 is also provided with a downwardly extendingcontrol link 54 for controlling a hydraulic control valve. The control link 54 is coupled to thetang 46 by a ball joint 56. Similarly,tang 48 is coupled to a downwardly extendingcontrol link 58 having a ball joint 60 for controlling another hydraulic control valve. Fore-and-aft movement ofcontrol levers link 54, whereas side-to-side movement of control lever manipulatescontrol link 58. The threeball joints - Each of the control levers 34 and 36 control two hydraulic control valves, which in turn control two backhoe functions. Therefore it is necessary to restrain the twisting movement of the control lever. To that end,
tang 50 of theplate 44 is provided with anelongated slot 62. Thisoblong slot 62 is provided with twoside walls side walls stub shaft 72 that extends into thisslot 62. If an operator attempts to twist the control levers 34 and 36 thecylindrical stub shaft 72 comes into contact with theside walls side walls slider 74 formed of an anti-friction material in the form of a slippery urethane plastic. Theslider 74 is of a one-piece construction preformed into a U-shape. Theslider 74 has a concave top for engaging theconcave top 68 of theelongated slot 62 and legs for engaging theside walls slider 74 is provided with a channel that grips theside walls concave top 68 of theelongated slot 62. In addition theslider 74 is further held in place by thecylindrical stub shaft 72. With this design only a cylindrical surface, thecylindrical stub shaft 72, comes into contact with theanti-friction slider 74 thereby preventing premature wear of theslider 74 by eliminating sharp edge contact with the anti-friction material. - The control levers 34 and 36 extend upwardly through
control apertures 76 in thecontrol console 32. Thecontrol apertures 76 are circular and sized to permit pivoting movement of the respective control levers 34 and 36. Thecontrol console 32 comprises a housing having anexterior surface 78 and aninterior surface 80. The control levers 34 and 36 are provided with a protective shield.
