Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support frame for road maintenance device used for mounting a road maintenance device such as a snowplough blade or a sweeper brush onto a road maintenance vehicle.
  • the invention is related to a support frame for turning and lifting a plough, as well as shifting it to the left and right perpendicular to the road centre line.
  • the invention provides the possibility of combining different blades (front- and side-mounted snowplough blades) in order to achieve a maximally wide footprint while ensuring that the blade is compact when lifted up in the transport position.
  • Such an ancillary device is generally a hydraulically shifted intermediate frame with control surfaces, which is added to a traditional lifting frame.
  • the disadvantages of such a solution are the high production cost and the weightiness of the product.
  • US 6769238 B2 discloses a universal tool-holder, which consists of: a main coupling chassis, this main coupling chassis being constructed in order to be able to be mounted, in a removable manner, on a multi-functional straddling vineyard tractor; two secondary coupling chassis, each of these secondary coupling chassis being equipped with a universal three-point hitch system; mechanisms connecting each secondary coupling chassis to the main coupling chassis; and mechanisms making it possible to move each secondary coupling chassis, in a vertical or approximately vertical plane and, preferably, in a horizontal or approximately horizontal plane.
  • the said tool-holder does not have means for rotating the tool, e.g. a plough around vertical axis. Additionally the beam of the main coupling chassis does not have properties and purpose to act as a torsion spring enabling the plough to follow changes in the slope of the road.
  • this solution also makes turning the blade more inconvenient, since it is done by shifting the telescopic tubes in and out, and the blade has no specific turning axis.
  • the distance between the plough and the vehicle is also too big, making it difficult to manoeuvre the vehicle.
  • RU2198979 discloses a snowplough connected to a vehicle with an articulated parallelogram suspension attached to both the plough blade and the vehicle, and consisting of at least two frames.
  • the rod of a hydraulic cylinder is connected to one of the suspension frames so that it can be articulated.
  • FR2750715 discloses a snowplough consisting of a blade attached to a housing that can be vertically adjusted by a driving mechanism.
  • DE19617480 discloses a snowplough consisting of a blade attached to a frame, which in turn is attached to the vehicle.
  • the frame support system includes two pneumatic cylinders, connected to the frame and the blade for turning the blade.
  • EP0587175 discloses a snowplough with a blade that can be adjusted to the left and to the right and which also includes an automatic device for monitoring and maintaining the position of the plough in relation to the vehicle's axis.
  • the device includes connection rods that can be moved left and right in relation to the axis, and a lifting device.
  • DE4205612 discloses a sweeping blade attached to the front of the vehicle by a rigid bracket with two turning rods at either end. This creates a rectangular frame that can be turned around its vertical axis using hydraulic pushers.
  • FR2639007 discloses a device for connecting a vehicle to a mechanism, in particular to a snowplough, consisting of a system of multiple frames attached to the vehicle with articulated couplings, with the frames in turn vertically connected to articulating couplings.
  • the device is equipped with hydraulic or pneumatic jacks for turning the frames vertically, perpendicular to the operating direction, or in the operating direction.
  • EP0467310 discloses a snowplough with a spring-actuated support that allows the plough to be moved laterally in relation to the vertical axis; the support is attached to the vehicle with a parallelogram intermediate part, while the support and the vehicle are also connected with a hydraulic lifting cylinder.
  • the present invention provides a novel support frame for ploughs, free from all the disadvantages known from the state of the art.
  • the main element of the support frame is a support beam that can be moved up and down with a lifting cylinder (hereafter, a cylinder stands for a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder or a cylinder using any other techniques known from the state of the art), and shifted left and right with the shifting cylinder.
  • the elements of the support frame are located between the plough and the fixing base on the vehicle in a way forming a double parallelogram, both horizontal direction and vertical direction.
  • the plough 1 is connected to the vehicle by a support frame (see Figures 1, 2 ), the main element of which is the support beam 2 that can be lifted up and down with the lifting cylinder 3 and shifted left and right with the shifting cylinder 4.
  • the shifting cylinder can be replaced by a rigid connector (not displayed in the figure and not forming part of the claimed invention).
  • the construction of the frame acts as a double parallelogram: on the vertical plane, a parallelogram is formed by the support beam 2 and the coupling arm 5 with the plough 1 and the fixing base 6 on the vehicle; on the horizontal plane, the parallelogram is formed by the support beam 2 and the third cylinder 7 with the plough 1 and the fixing base 6 on the vehicle.
  • the third cylinder 7 acts as a link in the horizontal parallelogram and keeps the plough at approximately the same angle that the driver has turned it to, either to the right - in which case the third cylinder 7 is at its internal limit, or left - in which case the third cylinder 7 is at its external limit.
  • the third cylinder 7 may be replaced by a rigid connector (not displayed in the figure and not forming part of the claimed invention).
  • the support frame of the present invention is distinguished by the fact that thanks to the use of the coupling arm 5, the support frame retains the parallelogram shape traditional to snowploughs, ensuring that the plough remains parallel to the ground when lifted up in the transport position.
  • the third cylinder 7 also acts as a link in the parallelogram when the plough is shifted laterally using shifting cylinder 4.
  • the coupling arm 5 and third cylinder 7 are provided with spherical plain bearings.
  • the coupling arm 5 and third cylinder 7 are provided with Hooke's joints.
  • turning the mouldboard of the plough is achieved by using the beam shifting cylinder 4.
  • the beam shifting cylinder 4 also acts as a lever for the intersecting parallelogram, ensuring that the angle of the mouldboard in relation to the centre line of the road changes minimally when shifting the plough.
  • the present solution acts as a double parallelogram: both vertically and horizontally.
  • the support beam is equipped with Hooke's joints 8 at either end.
  • the support beam may be connected to the plough and vehicle using bolted joints.
  • the support beam 2 acts as a torsion spring, enabling the plough to follow changes in the slope of the road (around the longitudinal axis).
  • ancillary parts such as springs, elastic rubber or elastomer bushes, elastic cushions
  • Fig. 3 displays an alternative embodiment of the support frame including an elastic element 9, which enables the plough to follow the slope of the road around its longitudinal axis to a greater degree.
  • the support beam 2 can be made significantly more rigid.
  • Such an elastic element may be located on the Hooke's joints 8 at either end of the support beam, if necessary.
  • the coupling arm 5 includes a hydraulic/pneumatic cylinder (not shown in the figure) with which to change the length of the connector.
  • the plough is not shifted left and right symmetrically in the solution of the present invention.
  • the plough can be shifted left along the operating direction further than to the right, which is also what is actually required when working with a plough.
  • the extent of how far the plough can be shifted depends on the size of specific details and can vary in different models. Symmetrical shifting both to the left and to the right can be achieved if necessary.
