Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of public works machinery, and more particularly to earth-moving machines that can work indifferently as loader as a backhoe, machines which in the following description, will be designated by the expression " loader / backhoe. "
  • This frame supports in its central part a driving and control station.
  • a loader assembly At the front of the chassis is a loader assembly and, at the rear, an excavator assembly.
  • each work tool has its own control means for feeding the hydraulic cylinders actuating the constituent elements of each work tool.
  • Each control cylinder can therefore be controlled selectively via a hydraulic distributor operable by a manipulator, manipulator which can be either a mechanical control lever and linkage, or a hydraulic control or an electrical control.
  • the document US 5,471,908 describes a machine of the loader / excavator type, the hydraulic circuit comprises a distributor dedicated to the configuration of the loader assembly, and a second distributor dedicated to the displacement of the excavator assembly, hydraulically interconnected by a priority valve.
  • the distributors controlling the loader assembly there are at least two in number, one for controlling the parallel arms articulated by articulated relative to the frame and supporting the bucket and a second distributor controlling the orientation of the bucket relative to the arms and the frame.
  • an additional command may act on the configuration of the bucket, usually called 4 in 1 command.
  • control valves of the charger assembly are therefore grouped on the chassis, and this substantially at the level of the driving members.
  • the distributors supplying the power of the control cylinders are grouped on a separate module mounted at the rear of the chassis.
  • the operator rotates his seat for the one hand, set up the lateral stabilizers, and secondly, actuate the control means of the cylinders allowing the implementation of the shovel.
  • Such a shovel assembly thus implies, in order to ensure its operation, the presence of at least six distributors, namely two for the control of the lateral stabilizers that the machine comprises, one for the control of the boom, one for the control of the arm articulated on said boom, one for the control of the articulated bucket at the end of the arm, and the last for the control of the rotation of the boom.
  • the first problem to be solved by the invention thus concerns the production of a multi-purpose machine comprising a hydraulic control system for the tools of the machine of simplified design, easy to set up and of great reliability during its operation. use.
  • Such a circuit also makes it possible to have priority steering control.
  • the invention also aims to arrange the elementary distributors so that the controls for performing the excavator function are central, while those to fulfill the loader function are distributed on both sides of the aforementioned elements.
  • the distributors supplying the cylinders that comprises the shovel assembly are manually controlled (but could also be hydraulically controlled) and the distributors of the jacks of the loader assembly are, in turn, hydraulically controlled .
  • the distributors of the loader assembly are arranged laterally with respect to those of the excavator assembly, thus making it possible to facilitate the hydraulic connection with said loader assembly which is situated at the front of the machine.
  • the invention therefore relates to a public works vehicle loader / backhoe type.
  • This machine essentially comprises a frame, designated by the general reference (1), supported by two axles (2,3), the front axle (2) being provided with steering wheels and drive (4) and the rear axle of driving wheels (5) of large diameter.
  • a heat engine which drives a gearbox with converter connected by transmission to the two front and rear axles and the hydraulic circuit for controlling the work equipment also mounted on said frame.
  • Said work equipment is, on the one hand, constituted by a loader type assembly designated by the general reference (6), mounted at the front of said frame and, on the other hand, by a "backhoe” type assembly or “Excavator”, designated by the general reference (7) mounted meanwhile at the rear of the frame.
  • the charger assembly (6) comprises two arms (8) articulated at (9) on the chassis and arranged on either side of the cover (10). These arms (8) can be moved under the action of two arm cylinders (11) also laterally on the frame (12), and whose rod acts on the intermediate portion (13) of the side arms. (8) .
  • a bucket (9) associated with rods (14,15) forming a deformable parallelogram.
  • the inclination of the bucket (9) is obtained via a jack (16).
  • the bucket (9) may optionally be constituted by an assembly comprising two distinct elements offset relative to one another, and allowing to adopt several configurations that allow it to fulfill, in addition to the loader function, that of blade of a bulldozer, or pliers, or an opening dump.
  • the shovel assembly (7) is, in turn, mounted at the rear of the frame on a rigid transverse frame (20) set back from the drive wheels (5).
  • This excavator is conventional and consists essentially of an arrow (23) associated with an arm (24) at the end of which is mounted a bucket (25).
  • the boom (23) receives a rotational movement about a vertical axis relative to the frame. Furthermore, the boom (23) is hinged relative to the frame, the arm (24) being articulated relative to the end of said boom (23) and the bucket (25) relative to the end of the arm (24).
  • two lateral stabilizers are also mounted on the frame.
  • the driving position and control of the machine is mounted on the central part of the chassis.
  • This control station thus comprises conventional driving means and manipulators, preferably of the hydraulic type, to ensure the selection of the distributors controlling the various cylinders of the charger assembly.
  • This driving position is designed so that by simply pivoting the seat, we can use the backhoe set arranged at the rear.
  • the excavator assembly is controlled by six distributors operable by individual manual controls.
  • all the distributors supplying the control cylinders of both the loader and the excavator are grouped in the form of a module (30) as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
  • This block or module (30) is mounted on a transverse beam (31) integral with the two longitudinal members constituting the frame, and this through damping assemblies for recovering the stresses experienced by said frame during work operations.
  • valve block (30) comprises six mechanically controlled distributors (30a to 30f) intended to carry out the controls of the excavator which are located at the rear of the machine.
  • a seventh distributor (38g) is also expected to originate in the event that the machine is likely to receive additional options.
  • the distributors (32,33,34) intended to feed the cylinders of the loader assembly are arranged laterally with respect to those of the shovel assembly thus facilitating the mechanical connection with the loader controls which are located at the front of the machine.
  • This circuit (35) is associated with a priority valve (37) on the direction function.
  • each of the distributors is carried out at a shared rate.
  • an electro-distributor (38) for the immobilization cylinders of the shovel is also associated with the block (30) of distributors.
  • control of the distributors is mixed, namely mechanical and hydraulic, these controls could also be performed in a fully hydraulic manner.
  • the solution according to the invention has many advantages among which we can mention ease of assembly, maintenance, account because all functions are integrated into a single block.
