Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a construction or public works machine, for example an excavator, to which is removably attached a tool, for example a bucket, by means of a coupling system comprising a coupler, also called quick coupler, arranged on the public works machine, and a connection device integral with the tool, for example the bucket.
  • a coupling system comprising a coupler, also called quick coupler, arranged on the public works machine, and a connection device integral with the tool, for example the bucket.
  • the present invention also relates to a system for coupling a tool to a machine, comprising a connection device intended to be secured to a tool, for example a bucket, and a coupler intended to be secured to a public works machine. , in particular an arm of a public works machine, the connection device and the coupler cooperating to ensure the attachment of the tool, for example the bucket, to the public works machine.
  • connection device comprises an axis around which is hooked at least one hook of the quick coupler, or coupler.
  • the arrangement is such that the coupler, once the hook is engaged with the axle, can pivot relative to the latter to lock remotely from the axle with the connection device via the intermediary of the axle.
  • a lock consisting of a cam which abuts against the surface of a shoe from the connection device.
  • the weight and inertia of the bucket are used during a pre-lifting using the hook and tilting of the coupler, for example under the action of a jack pushing one end away from the hook of the coupler in the locked position with the connection device attached to the bucket. Once in the locked state, the connection device and the coupler are mutually locked.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a coupling system with coupler and associated connection device for making the connection between a public works machine, construction site or the like, for example a lifting arm.
  • a public works machine and a tool, in particular a bucket which is safer to use while remaining simple in structure.
  • the lock is not reinforced to keep it locked at all costs, but on the contrary we accept that it unlocks, but we do so. so that this unlocking does not result in the two elements being unhooked from one another.
  • anti-stall means can be formed by modifying only the quick coupler.
  • the device forming a lock consists of a cam coming from one of the connection device and the quick coupler and from a counter surface coming from the other of the connection device and the quick coupler, the cam, in the locked position, being in contact with the counter surface.
  • the cam is mounted to pivot relative to that of the connection device and of the quick coupler from which it originates.
  • the anti-release means consist of an auxiliary cam mounted to pivot with respect to one of the connection device and of the quick coupler.
  • At least one spring in particular a torsion spring, is mounted so as to oppose the rotation of the main cam in the unlocking direction.
  • At least one spring in particular for compression or traction, is mounted between the main cam and the auxiliary cam, the spring being arranged so as to urge the auxiliary cam to keep it away from the main cam.
  • the anti-release means comprise a chain fixed to two elements of the coupling system and the arrangement being such that the chain, in the elongated state, prevents both. elements to pivot relative to each other in the direction of greater mutual spacing.
  • the present invention also relates to a public works machine, site or the like comprising a lifting arm, a tool and a coupling system according to the invention, as well as a tool, in particular a bucket, comprising one of the two elements of the coupling system according to the invention, in particular the connection device.
  • an assembly according to the invention which consists of a coupler 1 or quick coupler and a connection device 2 mounted on a bucket.
  • the coupler 1 is attached to a construction machine and in particular to the end of an arm of a lifting machine, while the connection device 2 is connected or secured, in particular in one piece, with the tool or equipment that the lifting device or construction machine must carry.
  • the connection device 2 can be welded to a bucket.
  • the connection device 2 comprises an axis 3 which is located at the level of the upper edge of one of the lateral faces of the bucket and the quick coupler 1 comprises an end part 5 in the form of a hook which is hooked to the axis 3 integral with the connection device to allow lifting of the bucket.
  • the coupler 1 can have more than one hook, in particular two hooks.
  • connection device 2 which is fixed to the bucket comprises means which make it possible to ensure the locking of the bucket to the lifting arm, after the or the hook (s) 5 have been hooked to 1 'or to the axis (s) 3.
  • the hook 5 in particular under the effect of an electric or hydraulic cylinder which extends along the lifting arm of the machine connected to the coupler 1, lifts the pin 3, which has the effect of raising the bucket and thus tilting the face of this bucket which includes the connection device 2 in the direction of part of the coupler, away from the hook so that the lock, which comprises components both on the quick coupler 1 and on the connection device 2, locks the coupler 1 and the connection device 2 and thus the bucket to the machine.
  • the lock consists on the one hand of a shoe 6 coming from the connection device 2, and therefore of the bucket, and on the other hand of an eccentric cam 7 pivotally mounted relative to a circular cylindrical axis 8 integral with the coupler 1.
  • Springs for example torsion springs, are mounted on the cylindrical axis 8 so as to oppose the rotation of the cam 7 relative to the axis 8, in one direction tending to move the cam away from the shoe.
  • An auxiliary cam 17 is also rotatably mounted relative to the axis 8.
  • This rotary cam 17 comprises on the one hand a stop 27 and on the other hand an eyelet 28.
  • the cam 17 is also mounted under the stress of springs, for example in compression or in traction, which oppose its rotation in the same direction as the cam 7, namely in the direction of clockwise to figure 1 .
  • springs for example in compression or in traction, which oppose its rotation in the same direction as the cam 7, namely in the direction of clockwise to figure 1 .
  • connection device 2 and the coupler 1 are not completely blocked with respect to each other.
  • connection device 2 and the coupler 1 are not completely blocked with respect to each other.
  • it is to an insufficient extent to allow the hook 5 to be released from the axis 3 which is therefore kept hooked despite the unlocking. .
  • a key 50 is used as shown in figures 2 and 5 .
  • This key 50 comprises a substantially longitudinal handle 49 terminated by a head portion comprising a stop surface 51 and a lug 52 intended to penetrate into the eyelet 28.
  • the stop surface is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle and of complementary shape of the outer surface of the body of the cam so as to be able to abut against the body of the cam. We are then in the position before unlocking the figure 5 .
  • auxiliary stop 27 instead of the auxiliary stop 27, one could use as anti-rotation or anti-release means a chain, one of the ends of which is fixed to the coupler 1 while that the other end is fixed to the connection device 2 and the length of the chain is such that when the two elements 1 and 2 start to rotate with respect to each other, this rotation is stopped after a a certain angle such that unhooking at the axis of the hook is not possible.
