Definitions

  • the invention is related to the field of mechanical engineering, namely to the field of blade constructions for road and large area maintenance equipment.
  • Blade constructions for road maintenance vehicles, scrapers and snow ploughs are known from the prior art.
  • Patent application publication WO 2004/031490 discloses the blade holder, in the form of a beam, connecting a blade to the lower edge of a snow-clearing device so that the blade has been given a definite angle to the base.
  • the beam enables the lower part of the blade to fold backwards, thereby preventing possible damage to the blade when running into an obstacle on the road. After passing the obstacle, the blade resumes its original position
  • US5743032 discloses a grader blade; preferably a snow plough blade construction intended to be attached preferably to a tractor or lorry.
  • the grader blade construction includes a frame consisting of a flat part that is detachable from the grader, and several blade plates covering the desired working width; whereas there is a section consisting of elastic material between the blade plates.
  • the elastic material is arranged to permit the movement of the blade plates in only one direction when the blade plate strikes an obstacle.
  • DE 2519112 discloses a grader construction in which a blade is attached to a moldboard with an elastic section that enables, if an obstacle is encountered, the blade to trip and then resume its original position
  • DE 3640565 discloses a clearing edge of a snow grader blade.
  • the clearing edge includes a rubber or plastic fastening element that has a fastening strip on one end and the blade on the other end, whereas the fastening element has sufficient horizontal and vertical movement, so that road irregularities does not cause the blade to jump or break
  • DE 2552058 discloses a snow plough construction in which a blade is attached to the moldboard of the plough with an elastic section that enables, if an obstacle is encountered, the blade to trip and then resume its original position.
  • DE 4204109 discloses a snow grader designed to be fixed to a vehicle or tractor.
  • a supporting frame is attached to the snow grader.
  • a flexible spring guide is fixed on the underside of the supporting frame.
  • a metal strip which is in contact with the road surface, is attached; whereby the metal strip is fixed to the underside of the grader with another band of elastic material.
  • the angle of the blade changes significantly with the up and down movement of the blade holders, since natural behaviour of the parallelogram is absent, which results in the bouncing of the snow plough when crossing road irregularities.
  • the purpose of this invention is to offer an elastically deforming, including from elastomeric material, snow plough blade holder construction; whereas a blade equipped with this elastic blade holder allows for the irregularities of a processed surface to be followed.
  • the invention's blade holder includes an elaslically deforming material part, in which there are one or several gaps, as a result of which the blade holder functions in a manner similar to a parallelogram (four bar linkage). In addition to this, the blade holder deforms elastically more easily due to one or several gaps in comparison with analogous gapless constructions.
  • the blade holder of this invention comprises of short, adjacently located modules. By being placed next to one another, these modules allow blades of various widths to be used according to need. By using blades of various widths it is possible to vary the rigidity of the blade holders and the ability to copy the road surface. At the same time, it is also possible to attach only one short blade to a module. This makes the blade holder module universal for all snow ploughs of varying widths.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the new principle blade holder 1 made of an elastically deforming material, which is comprised of an elastically deforming material part 2 and the attachment plate 3 for the blade placed within.
  • the elastically deforming material part 2 operates on the principle of a parallelogram. It differs from existing blade holders with elastically deforming details in that the blade holder has one or several gaps 4, as a result of which the blade holder operates in a manner similar to a parallelogram (four bar linkage). In addition to this, the blade holder deforms elastically more easily due to one or several gaps, in comparison to similar gapless constructions.
  • the blade holder is comprised of four joints: the topmost moving joint 5, the lower moving joint 6, the front moving joint 7 and the rear moving joint 8. The joints are connected to each other conditionally with hinges 9. The result of the newly shaped blade holder ensures the excellent kinematics of the elastically deforming parts, sufficient rigidity and at the same time endurance.
  • the blade holder 1 of the invention is made from elastically deforming material part 2 is attached to the holder 11 located along the bottom edge of the plough's moldboard 10 with attachment bolts 13 extending from the mounting plate 12 poured inside the part 2.
  • Attached to the blade's mounting plate 3 is a snow plough blade 14.
  • a sealing strip 15 extends outward from the upper edge of the elastically deforming material part 2, which prevents snow from ending up in the blade holder's gaps.
  • Figure 3A-3C illustrates the plough's blade holder in its working position and the plough's blade position on a smooth surface ( Figure 3A ), in the case of an obstacle with evenly rising edges ( Figure 3B ), and in the case of incremental obstacles ( Figure 3C ).
  • the lower joint 6) ( Figure 1 ) of part 2 made from elastically deforming material gives way according to the principle of a parallelogram and the snow plough's blade 13 is able to move backward while at the same time moving upwards, allowing the obstacle to be crossed.
  • the blade can move up and down in relation to the snow plough's moldboard 10, remaining at approximately the same angle to the surface of the ground.
  • the given blade holder permits greater upward movement of the blade in comparison with the known solutions, thereby permitting improved coping of the road surface when crossing over rounded obstacles.
  • the invented blade holder 1 may be in a single piece that is the entire width of the plough's moldboard or may be comprised of short modules. By being placed next to one another, these modules allow blades of various widths to be used according to need. By using blades of various widths it is possible to vary the rigidity of the blade holders and the ability to copy the road surface. At the same time, it is also possible to attach only one short blade to a module. This makes the blade holder module universal for all snow ploughs of varying widths.
  • the positions of attachment openings 16 ( Figure 4 ) in the blade 13 attachment plate 3 are selected in such a manner to allow attachment of all snow plough blades of standard measurements and several different nonstandard measurements.
  • the attachment plate 3 has openings 17 for the improved connectedness between the elastically deforming material (such as elastomer) part 2 and the attachment plate 3.
  • the attachment plate 3 has attachment anchors 18 to improve the connectedness between the elastomer and the attachment plate 3.
  • Suitable radius of curvature notches (19 and 20) help in permitting the natural movement of the articulation of the elastically deforming material (elastomer) characteristic of a parallelogram.
  • a suitable radius of curvature notch 21 permits the sealing strip 15 to adjust according to the snow plough's moldboard in the case of the various working positions of the blade holder.
  • the blade attachment plate 3 may be bent (see Figures 9 to 12 ), in order to avoid its breaking out from the elastomer.
  • the blade holder may be equipped with additional anchors 22.
  • the blade holder 1 on the beam side 11 has a step 23 ( Figure 8 ) on one side.
  • FIG 11 illustrates one of the possible alternative implementations of a blade holder, where the elastically deforming material (elastomer) part 2 has a suitable radius of curvature notch 24 which ensures the greater buckling of the lower joint when crossing over a graduated obstacle.
  • Figure 12 illustrates a blade holder 2, the bottom of which has an extending part 25, which is designed for restricting the movement of the blade holder upon hitting an obstacle, blade attachment bolt 26 (see Figure 2 ) protection 27 in the case of the buckling of the elastically deforming material (elastomer) part 2.
  • the elastically deforming material (elastomer) part 2 has an elevation of 28, which restricts the buckling of the lower joint 6.
