Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wheel loader with a mast with Z-kinematics, which consists of a device arm with a lifting cylinder articulated on the vehicle frame or the front end and a rocker-like deflection lever articulated on the device arm, at the ends of which the tilting cylinder and the connecting link are articulated for pivoting the attachment, exist, attachments to the mast, e.g. a grave vessel or a log grapple can be attached.
  • the device arm 1 is H-shaped, the parallel side supports being connected at their inner ends by joints 2 to the front end, which is usually connected to the rear end by an articulated joint.
  • the front ends of the side supports are connected in an articulated manner by joints 3 to an attachment, in the exemplary embodiment shown a grave vessel 4.
  • the lateral supports are connected to one another in their central region by a cross tube 5 forming the H-web.
  • the cross tube 5 carries in its central region parallel cheeks 6 forming a bearing fork, between which the bell crank 7 of the Z-kinematics in the manner shown is stored.
  • the piston rod of the tilt cylinder 9 is articulated in the joint 8, which in turn is articulated to the front end by the joint 10.
  • the connecting tab 12 is articulated in the articulation 11, which is articulated through the articulation 13 to the attachment.
  • the device arm 1 can be pivoted about its joint 2 by the lifting cylinders 14, which are pivotally connected to the front end by the joints 15, while their piston rods are pivotably connected to the device arm 1 by the joints 16.
  • the tilting cylinder engages the deflection lever 7 with a large lever arm, so that the grave vessel can be pivoted easily about its pivot axis 3 on the implement arm.
  • this situation changes when the device arm is raised when the grave vessel 4 is to be pivoted between positions II and III.
  • the tilt cylinder 9 only engages the bell crank 7 with the lever arm a in the downwardly tilted position II of the digging vessel.
  • the effective lever arm b is enlarged, as can be seen from FIG. 8.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a wheel loader of the type specified in the introduction, in which, without reinforcement of the tilt cylinder, a NEN position of the scaffolding allows the attachment to pivot with the required large moment from a downward tilted position to an upward tilted position.
  • this object is achieved in that at least one hydraulic cylinder is articulated to the lifting frame, the piston rod of which articulates on the pivot axis connecting the bellcrank with the tilt cylinder.
  • This hydraulic cylinder provided according to the invention forms a support cylinder which, when the mast is in the raised position, is able to pivot the attachment between its end positions with the required torque, without the tilting cylinder itself having to be reinforced.
  • the supporting hydraulic cylinder is expediently pressurized with pressure oil together with the tilt cylinder. This configuration ensures that the hydraulic cylinder always generates a supporting torque for pivoting the attachment upwards when the tilt cylinder is extended.
  • the attachment for example a log grapple
  • the attachment tends to fall into the downward position due to the force of gravity of the load.
  • the supporting hydraulic cylinder is connected as a damping cylinder when the tilting cylinder executes a movement that retracts the piston rod.
  • This damping effect is achieved in that the oil displaced from the supporting hydraulic cylinders is returned to the tank through the same line that also connects the tilt cylinder to the tank, so that the required throttling takes place in this line.
  • throttle valves for throttling the oil displaced from the supporting hydraulic cylinders which are switched on as required.
  • the supporting effect for the hydraulic cylinder is basically only required in a relatively small area, namely when the mast is swung up in the area in which when the attachment is tilted, the tilt cylinder only engages the bell crank with a relatively small lever arm.
  • the hydraulic cylinder is held to a limited extent on the lifting frame and the piston rod carries an open cup-shaped support bearing which disengages from the Deflecting lever with pivot axis connecting the tilt cylinder comes when, when the mast is raised and when the attachment is pivoted upwards, the tilt cylinder engages the deflection lever with a larger lever arm.
  • the cross tube is provided with bearing pieces for articulating the hydraulic cylinder.
  • two hydraulic cylinders are connected to the cross tube so as to be pivotable to a limited extent, the piston rods of which are connected to one another by a cross yoke which carries the support bearing.
  • the pivot axis, on which the piston rod of the tilting cylinder engages, can be extended laterally over the legs of the bearing fork connecting it to the deflection lever to form axle journals, with lateral journals connected to the transverse yoke acting on these axle journals.
  • each of the two hydraulic cylinders is connected to the cross tube by a U-shaped holding part, one leg of which is welded to the cross tube, the hydraulic cylinder being connected to the web part of the holding part about a pivot axis parallel to the cross tube and the legs on their inner sides with buffering stops are provided, between which the cylinders are pivotable.
  • the above description relates to a first embodiment of the invention, in which the piston rods or the support bearings of the supporting hydraulic cylinders carried by the piston rods temporarily come out of engagement with the pivot axis connecting the bell crank to the tilt cylinder.
  • the piston rods of the supporting hydraulic cylinders are articulatedly connected to the deflection lever in all swivel positions of the lifting frame or of the attachment.
  • This is achieved according to the invention in that one end of a link is articulated to the deflection lever or to a radial arm or a bearing arm of the cross tube connecting the lateral device arms in an H-shape, with the other end of which one side of a supporting hydraulic pressure-piston-cylinder unit is articulated is that the other end of the pressure-piston-cylinder unit is articulated on or in the vicinity of the swivel axis connecting the rocker arm to the tilt cylinder and that the handlebars for the purpose of supporting the tilt cylinder are temporarily extended when the pressure-piston-cylinder unit is extended on the cross tube supported.
  • This embodiment of the wheel loader according to the invention has the advantage over the first embodiment that the supporting hydraulic cylinder is permanently articulated on the one hand to the bell crank and on the other hand to the handlebar.
  • the handlebar is generally supported in the same swivel positions or operating situations on the cross tube as the piston rods or the support bearings carried by them on the deflection lever or the swivel axis connecting the deflection lever to the tilt cylinder.
  • the handlebar is expediently articulated on the pivot axis of the deflection lever, which is held by fork-shaped bearing legs connected to the cross tube.
  • two parallel links are mounted on both sides of the bell crank, which are connected to one another in a U-shape by a web part, the link or the web part being supported by two pressure medium-piston-cylinder units, the other ends of which are articulated with projecting axle journals that connect the bell crank to the tilt cylinder Swivel axis are articulated.

  • the lifting frame 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 with attached digging vessel 4 corresponds to the known lifting frame with Z-kinematics according to FIG. 8, except for the supporting hydraulic cylinders provided according to the invention.
