Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bucket or shovel with adjustable capacity.
  • the buckets or shovels applied on excavators or on machines for earthworks or for movements of materials in general, have a structure with a constant and unchangeable load capacity.
  • JP-56059929 describes an adjustable shovel having two configurations of widths; one configuration being about 50% wider than the other configuration.
  • a shovel according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 3,782,573 .
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a bucket or shovel that allows, on site and without effort, to adjust the load capacity of the latter according to the different requirements.
  • the present invention has been realized, which consists of a bucket or shovel constituted in part by a fixed structure and partly by one or more movable elements which can slide on the fixed structure by means of special devices for mutual handling, so you can adjust the width of the bucket or shovel, and therefore its capacity, with simple operations.
  • the special devices are constituted by pistons fixed either on the fixed structure or on the movable elements, so as to control the reciprocal movement.
  • the fixed structure is substantially C-shaped, and constitutes a rigid outer member in which one or more movable, complementary elements slide inwardly.
  • the main advantage of the present invention is the important economy that is achieved, thanks to the ability to face different needs with a single tool, by adjusting the width of the bucket or shovel, which allows to arrive, until to double, the load capacity with a single gear, and even more.
  • Another advantage is that of the adaptability of the bucket or shovel even in use without wasting unnecessary time. For example, to carry out searches in wide channels of 80 cm one can use a bucket of 60 cm widened of 10 cm of each side. If during digging we meet a block or a scraping edge, to widen the digging we must not block the work to change the bucket, but it is sufficient to control the expansion of the bucket, to face the critical situation, and then again to reduce the width of the bucket to continue regular searches in channels.
  • the headpiece 10 is connected in a non-removable manner to a fixed structure 17, which is substantially C-shaped, obtained preferably with a folded solid sheet and / or box to give it a high rigidity and robustness.
  • the movable elements which are adapted to slide inside the fixed structure 17 allow, by their sliding, to vary the load capacity of the bucket.
  • the movable elements are also preferably made with a C-folded sheet and have the external template which is complementary to the internal template of the fixed structure 17.
  • the movable elements are connected to the fixed structure 17 by means of special actuators consisting for example of pistons, by piston means the assembly of a cylinder, the piston and the relative rod.
  • the internal movable elements are two, 13 and 14, represented individually in the figures 3 and 4 . They are symmetrically similar, except for a protruding wing indicated with 18 and with 19. These wings 18 and 19 are respectively intended for connecting the movable elements 13 and 14 with the fixed structure 17.
  • the pistons which in the example shown in the figure 2 are two and are marked by the numbers 15, 16, are fixed with the cylinder to the fixed structure 17, while the rod is respectively fixed on the projecting flanges 18 and 19, in correspondence of the holes 35 and 36.
  • the two pistons 15 and 16 are arranged parallel to each other and work by generating a movement towards two mutually opposite directions.
  • the wings 18 and 19 are shaped by a template which allows either the attachment of the rod of the competent piston, but which leaves the space for the displacement of the opposite rod, or the attachment of the two relative slides.
  • the slides are two for each movable element, respectively 20 and 21 for the movable element 13, 22 and 23 for the movable element 14.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate the profile of the movable elements 13 and 14, with the wings 18 and 19 on which are indicated the axes of the holes.
  • the figure 7 illustrates the bucket in front view, with the movable elements 13 and 14 in the closed position.
  • figure 8 is a front view of the bucket with the movable elements 13 and 14 in the open position. In the open position the slides 20 and 22, which protrude from the fixed structure 17, become visible.
  • the figure 11 is a perspective view of the fixed structure 17, with the two movable elements 13 and 14, in which the element 13 is represented in the closed position, contained inside the fixed structure 17, while the element 14 is represented in the open position, ie, extended, outside the fixed structure 17.
  • the figures 12 , 13, 14 illustrate an exemplary embodiment of the invention applied to a shovel. Indeed the operating principle is similar, the only difference is the detail of attachment to the machine. The same reference indexes used for the bucket were adopted with the only apposition of an apostrophe.
  • the figure 12 illustrates a side view of a shovel according to the invention.
  • the only substantial difference from the bucket consists in the different position of the headboard 10 'for the shovel.
  • the head 10 ' is arranged behind the shovel. Therefore the conformation of the fixed structure 17 ', the wings 18', and the arrangement of the pistons 16 'and the slides 20' and 22 ', but the basic principle remains unchanged.
  • the figure 13 illustrates a front view of the shovel of the figure 12 , in the closed position
  • the figure 14 is a front view of the shovel of the figure 12 , in open position.
  • the pistons are connected to the excavator with feed or hydraulic tubes.
  • FIG. 21-26 is illustrated an average body, indicated generally by reference numeral 2, characterized by the presence of three pairs of actuators or pistons respectively identified with reference numerals 201, 202, and 203.
  • FIG. 27-32 is illustrated a large bucket, indicated overall with the reference number 3, characterized by the presence of four pairs of actuators or pistons, respectively identified with the reference numbers 301, 302, 303 and 304.
