Description
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de sécurité pour les attaches rapides. Une attache rapide est un dispositif permettant de fixer un outil à l'extrémité du bras d'une pelle hydraulique, ou analogue, ci-après dénommée l'engin.The present invention relates to a safety device for quick couplers. A quick coupler is a device for attaching a tool to the end of the arm of a hydraulic excavator, or the like, hereinafter referred to as the machine.
Une attache rapide est un dispositif mécanique comportant deux parties dont l'une est fixée à l'outil, un godet par exemple, tandis que l'autre est portée par le bras de l'engin.A quick coupler is a mechanical device comprising two parts, one of which is attached to the tool, one bucket for example, while the other is carried by the arm of the machine.
L'état de la technique en la matière est constitué, notamment, par le document
Dans ce document, il est décrit une attache dont la première partie, sensiblement en forme d'étrier et solidaire du bras de l'engin comporte un berceau, formé par une paire de crochets, pouvant s'insérer sous un arbre de la seconde partie portée par l'outil.In this document, it is described a fastener whose first part, substantially stirrup-shaped and integral with the arm of the machine comprises a cradle, formed by a pair of hooks, which can be inserted under a shaft of the second part carried by the tool.
La seconde partie présente une extension, en forme de crochet, pouvant traverser une ouverture de la première partie et une ouverture d'une plaque de verrouillage coulissante, susceptible de s'insérer sous ladite extension lorsque les deux parties sont appliquées l'une contre l'autre.The second part has a hook-shaped extension which can pass through an opening of the first part and an opening of a sliding locking plate which can be inserted under the said extension when the two parts are applied against each other. 'other.
Des moyens sont prévus pour maintenir la plaque de verrouillage en « position armée », c'est-à-dire dans une position où l'extension, en forme de crochet, peut traverser librement la portion médiane de la première partie et la plaque de verrouillage.Means are provided for maintaining the locking plate in "armed position", that is to say in a position where the hook-shaped extension can freely traverse the middle portion of the first portion and the locking.
Lors de la traversée des deux ouvertures, l'extension en forme de crochet libère la plaque de verrouillage qui, sous l'action de ressorts, s'insère sous ladite extension.When crossing the two openings, the hook-shaped extension releases the locking plate which, under the action of springs, fits under said extension.
En général une attache rapide est conçue pour pouvoir être utilisée avec une gamme d'engins présentant des tailles différentes (donc des poids différents).In general, a quick coupler is designed to be used with a range of machines having different sizes (and therefore different weights).
On sait par ailleurs, qu'un engin ne doit pas déplacer une charge, outil compris, dont le poids excède 15%, environ, du poids de ce dernier. Dans ce cas, la charge étant excessive, l'engin peut basculer et provoquer un accident.It is also known that a machine must not move a load, including tool, whose weight exceeds about 15% of the weight of the latter. In this case, the load being excessive, the machine can rock and cause an accident.
En l'état actuel de la technique, force est de constater qu'un « petit engin » peut saisir et manipuler un godet dont la charge excède la capacité de ce dernier.In the current state of the art, it is clear that a "small machine" can seize and manipulate a bucket whose load exceeds the capacity of the latter.
La présente invention, qui à pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient, concerne un dispositif de sécurité qui empêche de façon positive le verrouillage d'un godet dont le poids en charge excède celui de l'engin.The present invention, which aims to overcome this drawback, relates to a safety device that positively prevents the locking of a bucket whose weight load exceeds that of the machine.
Comme on sait que le verrouillage d'un godet ne peut intervenir qu'à la condition que les deux parties de l'attache soient appliquées l'une contre l'autre, le dispositif de sécurité de l'invention met en oeuvre des moyens ayant pour effet de s'opposer à cette application si le godet à saisir excède les capacités de l'engin.As it is known that the locking of a bucket can only take place under the condition that the two parts of the fastener are applied against each other, the safety device of the invention implements means having to oppose this application if the grab bucket exceeds the capacity of the machine.
Selon l'invention, chaque partie de l'attache présente un organe pouvant coopérer avec un organe de l'autre partie si le poids de l'outil en charge n'excède pas la capacité de l'engin, la coopération étant impossible dans le cas contraire de façon à s'opposer à l'application de la première partie sur la seconde et empêcher le verrouillage.According to the invention, each part of the fastener has a member that can cooperate with an organ of the other part if the weight of the tool under load does not exceed the capacity of the machine, the cooperation being impossible in the contrary case so as to oppose the application of the first part on the second and prevent locking.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faire en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif seulement sur lesquels :
- la

Selon la technique connue, l'attache comporte deux parties 1 et 2, celle 1 étant fixée au bras de l'engin (non représenté) tandis que celle 2 est fixée à la partie supérieure du godet G.According to the known technique, the fastener comprises two
La partie 1 présente une paire de crochets 3 pouvant saisir, par une manoeuvre judicieuse du bras de l'engin, un arbre 4, porté par la partie 2, et soulever le godet.
En faisant pivoter la partie 1 selon la flèche Fi, l'extension usuelle 5 traverse l'ouverture de la partie médiane de la partie 1 ainsi que l'ouverture de la plaque de verrouillage 6 en libérant cette dernière qui, lorsque les deux parties sont appliquées l'une contre l'autre coulisse selon la flèche F2 pour s'insérer sous ladite extension 5.By rotating the
Selon l'invention, la partie 1 présente un organe constitué par un doigt 7 pouvant s'insérer librement dans un organe constitué par une encoche 8 de la partie 2, les dimensions de ces deux organes dépendant de la taille de l'engin et du godet de façon à ce que le doigt porté par un « petit engin » ne puisse pas pénétrer dans l'encoche d'un « gros godet », l'inverse étant naturellement possible.According to the invention, the
