Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fluid supply system on a tractor such as systems used to supply pressurised air to actuate functions on the tractor.
  • Such air supply systems typically comprise a compressor which is connected with a storage tank in which the pressurised air is stored.
  • planar support members carried on the tractor chassis for carrying such items as fuel tanks, batteries and other components.
  • planar support members not only support the components but also protect the components from blows from beneath during use of the tractor which is especially important for fuel tanks and the like.
  • planar support members hereinafter referred to as being of the kind described, may comprise a plate-like member at least partially surrounded by a tubular stiffening member which is secured to the periphery of the plate-like member.
  • a fluid supply system which includes a conduit through which fluid flows in the system, the system being characterised in that at least part of the conduit is provided by the tubular stiffening member of a support member of the kind described so that the fluid is cooled as it passes through the tubular stiffening member.
  • the invention is preferably used to supply pressurised air and comprises an air compressor, a tank to receive the pressurised air from the compressor, a conduit connecting the compressor and tank, and a drier to remove moisture from the air as it passes from the compressor to the tank, the air being cooled as it passes through the tubular stiffening member.
  • the present invention can also be used to supply coolant to a vehicle engine or pressurised hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic valve or hydraulic consumer.
  • Figure 1 shows a plan view of part of a tractor fitted with an air supply system in accordance with the present invention
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of the tractor of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the air supply system of Figure 1 .
  • Figure 4 shows a cross-section on the line X-X of Figure 1.
  • a tractor chassis 10 comprises an engine block 1 1 , transmission 12 and back axle 13.
  • Mounted on the chassis 10 is a pair of support members 14 and 15 which are carried on cross beam 16 which is supported from beneath the chassis.
  • Each support member comprises a flat support plate 14a, 15a which is surrounded by a tubular stiffening member 14b, 15b respectively.
  • the stiffening members are welded or otherwise secured to the periphery of the plates 14a, 15a as can be seen from Figure 4.
  • the support members i4 and 15 are used to mount on the chassis such items as fuel tanks, batteries and other components and not only support these components but protect them against blows from beneath during use of the tractor. This is particularly important in relation to fuel tanks.
  • an air supply system which comprises a compressor 17 mounted on the engine block 1 1, an air storage tank 18 mounted on the transmission 12 and an air drier 19 mounted on the side of the transmission 12. These components are connected by a conduit 20.
  • a first portion 20a of the conduit connects the compressor 17 with an end 14c of the tubular stiffening member 14b. Air then flows from conduit portion 20a around the stiffening member 14b and into the section 20b of the conduit. Air then flows from section 20b into the end 15c of the tubular stiffening member 15b and then exits from the stiffening member 15b via conduit 20c to enter the drier 19. From the drier 19 air passes via conduit 2Od to the storage tank 18.
  • the ends of the tubes 14b and 15b are secured to the cross beam 16 by brackets 14d and 15d respectively.
  • the storage tank 18 is used to supply pressurised air for a variety of potential uses such as, for example, tractor or trailer air braking systems, tractor cab suspension systems and air operated implements such as seed drills.
  • the total length of the conduit 20 connecting the compressor 17 with the storage tank 18 is therefore of considerable length being approximately typically six meters in length. This ensures that heating of the air as it is pumped from the compressor to the storage tank is reduced by dissipation of the heat from the conduit 20 to the ambient air.
  • the present invention thus provides the simple but efficient method of cooling the compressed air which utilises an existing tubular stiffening member which surrounds each support member 14, 15 and through which the compressed air passes on its way from the compressor 17 to the storage tank 18.
  • the existing tubular stiffening members 14b, 15b could be used as part of the conduit to connect the compressor and storage tank which is the essence of the present invention.
  • the invention can also be used for other uses, for example, in systems for supplying coolant to a vehicle engine ⁇ r for supplying pressurised hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic valve or hydraulic consumer. In such systems the fluid is again cooled as it passes through the stiffening members 14b, 15b.
  • a fluid supply system on a tractor includes a conduit through which fluid flows such as compressed air or hydraulic fluid. At least part of the conduit is provided by the tubular stiffening member of a planar support member so that the fluid is cooled as it passes through the tubular stiffening member.
  • the invention thus provides a simple but efficient method of cooling fluid by utilising, an often existing, tubular stiffening member which surrounds a planar support member.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système d'alimentation en fluides équipant un tracteur. Ce système comprend un conduit (20) servant au passage de fluide tel qu'air comprimé ou fluide hydraulique. Une partie au moins du conduit est constituée du tube raidisseur (14b, 15b) d'un élément support plan (14, 15) de façon que le fluide refroidisse lors de son passage dans le tube raidisseur. L'invention propose ainsi un procédé simple mais efficace de refroidir le fluide par utilisation d'un tube raidisseur, souvent déjà présent autour d'un élément support plan.
