Definitions

  • the present invention relates both to a method and a system both mechanical and multifluidic coupling between the tool holder frame of a manipulator such as, in particular, a hydraulic loader and a tool interchangeable.
  • the first element is, for example, a motor vehicle or a manipulator craft.
  • the second element is any working device, for example a trailer intended to contain materials, or a tool capable of producing a specific operation.
  • the second element comprises control members, such as only cylinders or fluid-controlled motors (hydraulic fluid and / or air compressed), it is necessary to connect the different supply and discharge ducts of this fluid to ducts equipping the first element, which are connected to a source producing the pressurized fluid, and a return and pressurizing reservoir which are either carried directly by the first element, or carried by another gear to which this first element is attached.
  • control members such as only cylinders or fluid-controlled motors (hydraulic fluid and / or air compressed)
  • a very characteristic situation in which we encounter such a configuration is that comprising an agricultural tractor on which is mounted a hydraulic loader for receiving different interchangeable tools.
  • the hydraulic pressure source is placed on the tractor.
  • the hydraulic supply ducts of the various cylinders of the loader are connected to those of the tractor by a multiple connection device, by example of the kind described in EP-B-0 390 715.
  • the loader has a tool holder frame on which it is possible to mount and lock a number of interchangeable tools.
  • Some of these tools also include control, such as hydraulic cylinders.
  • connection of the tool with the tool frame also requires, for therefore, that a hydraulic connection be made between the ducts feeding the tool cylinders and the hydraulic lines on the loader.
  • multiple fluidic connection devices are composed of two enclosures, generally rectangular parallelepipedal shape, open on one of their faces.
  • One of the two housings is provided with a set of male fluidic connection, while the other is provided with a set of organs complementary female connections.
  • Both sets of male and female connectors are in same number and occupy a similar position within their housing, so that when the two enclosures are put in coincidence, their apertures turned towards each other, each of the female organs is exactly in alignment with the male organ to which it is assigned.
  • DE 197 51 292 discloses a mechanism for protection of the fluidic connection elements including a game-in this case the male elements- are carried by a first support secured to a tool holder device, such as for example the arm of an excavator, and the other game - in the occurrence of the female elements - are carried by a second solidarity support of a Removable and interchangeable tool.
  • Each of these supports affects the shape of a cylinder surrounded by a split cylindrical sleeve (C-section) coaxial with the support.
  • Each sleeve plays the role of a protective cover which is is able to pivot on its support of selectively occupy either a first position in which he covers and protects the associated set of connectors from soiling, ie a second position in which he discovers them.
  • the sleeves In case of non-use, the sleeves occupy automatically said first protective position.
  • the two sleeves When bringing the two supports closer, for the purpose of coupling male and female connectors, the two sleeves are driven in rotation at means of ad hoc control devices to discover the connectors and allow this coupling.
  • connection elements both mechanical and fluidic, as well as protective covers, that these operations are done according to a sequencing defined and particular.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a system automatic coupling, which can be fully controlled by the operator without having to descend from the craft on which it is located, in particular from his tractor if one is dealing with a hydraulic loader equipping an agricultural tractor.
  • Another object of the invention is to enable the connection fluidic between the different male and female connectors, even if the ducts fluid supply are under pressure.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a positioning of the Housing carried by the tool that protects it from shocks and dirt.
  • Another object of the invention is to associate the system of fluidic connection with a mechanical locking system already largely used and proven, using a hydraulic cylinder carried by the tool holder frame which acts on transverse horizontal sliding rods, able to penetrate into Receiver holes provided on the tool.
  • the process according to the present invention is a process both mechanical and fluidic coupling between the tool holder frame of a manipulator such as, in particular, a hydraulic loader and a tool interchangeable, said tool holder frame being equipped with a first housing - said housing frame - provided with a set of male fluid connection members or females, while said tool is equipped with a second housing - said housing tool - provided with a set of complementary female fluid connection members or males, the tool-carrying frame and the tool being provided with hooking means and mutual locking, said frame and tool housings being each provided with a movable and retractable protective cover that normally covers the organs connecting the associated housing, said covers being arranged and positioned such that the correct positioning of the tool frame vis-à-vis the tool with a view to their mutual coupling automatically causes the retraction of each of these lids, and ensure the direct matching of the organs fluidic connection of the two housings.
  • the movement of approach and mutual positioning of the housings to which it is phase (i) and the interlocking movement of all the fluidic connections of phase (iii) are made along substantially orthogonal (one transverse and the other axial, if we consider the axis of connectors).
  • the system which is the object of the present invention is a system both mechanical and fluidic coupling between the tool holder frame of a manipulator such as, in particular, a hydraulic loader, and a tool interchangeable, wherein said tool holder frame is equipped with a first housing - said frame housing - provided with a set of male fluid connection members or females, while said tool is equipped with a second housing - said housing tool - provided with a set of complementary fluidic connection members females or males, the tool-carrying frame and the tool being provided with means hooking and interlocking.

  • said housings of frame and tool are each provided with a movable and retractable protective cover which normally covers the connecting members of the associated housing, said lids being arranged and positioned in such a way that the positioning correct tool holder frame with respect to the tool with a view to their mutual coupling automatically causes the retraction of each of these lids, and ensures the direct mapping of the fluidic connection members of the two housings and that, on the other hand, said frame housing is slidably mounted in a support fixed to the tool holder frame, means being provided for moving it in direction of said tool housing after the fluid connection members of both housings were matched, to ensure their interlocking.
  • this system comprises means capable of achieving the mechanical locking of the tool on the tool holder prior to the aforementioned movement of the frame housing to the tool housing, intended to ensure the fluidic connection.
  • the mechanical locking of the tool on the tool holder is made by means of a pair of sliding rods which are mounted on the tool holder frame in a horizontal transverse direction, and whose end portions are adapted to penetrate into predicted holes on the tool, the displacement of these rods being controlled by a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the tool holder frame.

  • the housing 3a carried by the tool holder is mounted, and guided in translation, in the longitudinal direction, in a support 9 which affects the shape general of a frame.
  • This housing is fixed in the central part, at the front of the tool holder 1.
  • the housing 3b is fixed, via a support plate 4, on the outer face of the tool, that is to say on the back of the bucket 2, in the upper region of it. It is therefore not exposed to the materials contained in the bucket.
