Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for an excavator for providing its implement with a tilting function.
- tiltrotator In the art of digging it is desirable to be able to move the implement in any direction in order to perform complicated sequences of movement.
- the most advanced solution today is the tilting and rotating implement coupling apparatus, often called tiltrotator, which for instance is manufactured by
- a tiltrotator is an implement coupling apparatus, which has an arm coupling member arranged to be coupled to the wrist of an excavator arm, and an implement coupling member comprising the very implement coupling that engages with an implement, such as a bucket, a grabber, etc.
- the tiltrotator furthermore comprises a rotator, interconnecting the coupling members with each other via a rotatable interface.
- the rotator is pivotally connected with the arm coupling member and rigidly connected with the implement coupling member.
- the tiltrotator comprises, typically, two tilting cylinders, which are arranged between the arm coupling member and the rotator for tilting the implement.
- an apparatus for an excavator for providing its implement with a tilting function comprising:
- an implement coupling which is rotatably connectable with an arm of the excavator, at a first connection portion at an implement end of the arm, via an attachment device, wherein the attachment device is arranged to enable the implement coupling to rotate about a tilt axis, and to pivot about a breakout axis, which extends at an angle to the tilt axis;
- hydraulic cylinder assembly for breaking out and tilting the implement coupling, which hydraulic cylinder assembly is connectable with the arm at a second connection portion at a distance from the first connection portion, and which is connected with the implement coupling.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly provides both the breakout function and the tilting function for the implement. Since the apparatus thus includes the implement coupling and the hydraulic cylinder assembly, and since the hydraulic cylinder assembly thus contains the traditional breakout cylinder and adds the tilting function, and is arranged between the arm and the implement coupling, it is possible to design the apparatus in a more compact way than the known tiltrotators.
- the attachment device is pivotally attachable with the arm at said breakout axis, such that the breakout axis extends laterally of the arm.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly is connected with the implement coupling on at least one side of the attachment device for tilting the implement coupling by causing the implement coupling to rotate about the tilt axis.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly is acting on the implement coupling at one side of the tilt axis. The combination of the breakout axis and the tilt axis of the attachment device enables breaking out and tilting in this way.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly comprises a first hydraulic cylinder being connectable, at one end thereof, with the arm at said second connection portion, a second hydraulic cylinder, and two linkages, each connected with a respective one of the first and second hydraulic cylinders, wherein the linkages are connected with the implement coupling at opposite sides of the tilt axis, and wherein the first and second hydraulic cylinders extend side by side between the second connection portion and the respective linkage.
- each one of the first and second hydraulic cylinders provides the combined functions of breaking out and tilting the implement coupling.
- each linkage comprises first and second links, which are pivotally interconnected and pivotally connected with the hydraulic cylinder at a first end of each link, wherein a second end of the first link is pivotally connected with the
- the implement coupling comprises two connection members, each one of which is rotatably mounted at its ends, in parallel with the tilt axis, and pivotally connected with the respective first links, wherein the pivot axis of each connection member extends perpendicular to the rotation axis of the connection member.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly comprises a breakout cylinder connectable at one end thereof to the arm at the second portion, a first tilting cylinder, connected at a first end thereof to the implement coupling on one side of the tilt axis, and an interconnection linkage, wherein the breakout cylinder is pivotally connected at a second end thereof with the interconnection linkage, and wherein the first tilting cylinder is pivotally connected at a second end thereof with the interconnection linkage.
- two cylinders at least, are used where one provides the breakout function and the other provides the tilt function.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly comprises a second tilting cylinder, pivotally connected, at a first end thereof, with the implement coupling at an opposite side of the tilt axis relative to the first tilting cylinder, and pivotally connected at a second end thereof to the interconnection member. With two tilting cylinders greater tilt forces can be handled.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly comprises a centre rod arranged between the first and second tilting cylinders, and pivotally connected at one end of the centre rod with the hydraulic cylinder at its second end, and pivotally connected at the other end of the centre rod with an intermediate shaft, which in turn is rotatably connected with the implement coupling, wherein a longitudinal axis of the intermediate shaft is aligned with the tilt axis.
- the centre rod increases the breakout force that can be provided by the apparatus, and/or relieve the breakout load on the tilting cylinders.
- the first and second tilting cylinders, the centre rod, and the hydraulic cylinder are interconnected via a common interconnection shaft.
- interconnection linkage is pivotally connected with the arm at the implement end of the arm.
- interconnection linkage comprises first and second side links, which are pivotally connected with the first and the second tilting cylinders, respectively, and which are pivotally connected with the arm at the implement end of the arm, and wherein the interconnection linkage comprises a centre link pivotally connected with the hydraulic cylinder at its second end, and with the arm between the connections of the first and second side links.
- the implement coupling comprises two connection elements, which are rotatably mounted at their ends, in parallel with the tilt axis, and pivotally connected with the respective first and second tilting cylinders, wherein the pivot axis of each connection element extends perpendicular to the rotation axis of the connection element.
- the implement coupling comprises a rotation device, having an implement coupling part arranged to be coupled to an implement, and an arm coupling part arranged to be coupled to the arm, wherein the implement coupling part and the arm coupling part are rotatable relative to each other about an implement rotation axis, wherein the arm coupling part comprises the attachment device, and wherein the implement rotation axis extends at an angle to the rotation axis of the attachment device.
- the implement is provided with a full rotation operation comparable to that of the tiltrotators.

- the apparatus according to this invention is intended to be used at an excavator.
- excavator is to be widely interpreted as any construction machine that has a hydraulically controllable arm able to carry some kind of hydraulically controllable implement for performing digging, moving material, and the like.
- a first embodiment of the apparatus 4 for an excavator 1 for providing its implement 3 with a tilting function generally comprises an implement coupling 5, which is rotatably connectable with an arm 2 of the excavator 1 , at a first connection portion 6 at an implement end 7 of the arm 2.
- the apparatus further comprises a hydraulic cylinder assembly 8 for breaking out and tilting the implement coupling 5.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly 8 is connected with the implement coupling 5, and it is connectable with the arm 2 at a second connection portion 9 at a distance from the first connection portion 6, i.e. closer the body of the excavator 1 .
- the implement coupling is connectable via an attachment device 1 1 , which is arranged to enable the implement coupling 5 to rotate about a tilt axis 12, and to pivot about a breakout axis 13, which extends at an angle, in this embodiment perpendicular, to the tilt axis 12.
- the attachment device 1 1 is pivotally attachable with the arm 2 at said breakout axis 13, such that the breakout axis 13 extends laterally of the arm 2.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly 8 is connected with the implement coupling 5 on at both sides of the attachment device 1 1 for tilting the implement coupling 5 by causing it to rotate about the tilt axis 12. More particularly, the hydraulic cylinder assembly 8 comprises a first hydraulic cylinder 14, which is connectable, and in the figures connected, at one end 15 thereof, with the arm 2 at said second connection portion 9, a second hydraulic cylinder 16, which is connectable, at one end 17 thereof, with the arm 2 at the second connection portion 9, and two linkages 18, 19, each connected with a respective one of the first and second hydraulic cylinders 14, 16 at the other ends 20, 21 thereof.
- the linkages 18, 19 are connected with the implement coupling 5 at opposite sides of the tilt axis 12, and the first and second hydraulic cylinders 14, 16 extend side by side between the second connection portion 9 and the respective linkages 18, 19.
- Each linkage 18, 19 comprises a first link 22, 23, and a second link 24, 25, which are pivotally interconnected, and also pivotally connected with the hydraulic cylinder 14, 16 by means of a common shaft 26, 27 at first ends of the first and second links 22, 23, 24, 25.
- a second end of the first link 22, 23 is pivotally connected with the implement coupling 5, and more particularly with a connection member 28, 29 comprised in the implement coupling 5.
- the connection member 28, 29 is rotatably journalled at its ends.
- the connection members comprises spherical plain bearings.
- a second end of the second link 24, 25 is pivotally connectable with the arm at the implement end 7 of the arm 2, via a pivot shaft 30 (only one is visible in the figures).
- the longitudinal axes of the connection members 28, 29 extend in parallel with the tilt axis 12.
- the first and second hydraulic cylinders 14, 16 are operated both for breaking out movement and for tilting movement of the implement 3. For instance, if both the first and the second hydraulic cylinders are extended simultaneously, a pure breaking out movement is obtained, where the implement 3 is bent inwards, or towards the excavator body. This has been done between the implement position of Fig. 1 and the implement position of Fig. 4. If only one hydraulic cylinder 14, 16 is extended or retracted, or if both hydraulic cylinders 14, 15 are simultaneously extended or retracted, but one of the hydraulic cylinders is extended or retracted faster than the other hydraulic cylinder, then the implement 3 is both broken out and tilted. Finally, if the hydraulic cylinders 14, 16 are simultaneously operated in opposite directions, and at the same speed, the implement 3 is merely tilted.
- the apparatus according to this first embodiment is provided with a rotation part for rotating the implement 3 about a further axis.
- the implement coupling 5 comprises a rotation device 32, having an implement coupling part 33 arranged to be coupled to the implement 3, and an arm coupling part 34 arranged to be coupled to the arm 2, as shown in Fig. 4.
- the implement coupling part 33 and the arm coupling part 34 are rotatable relative to each other about an implement rotation axis 35, wherein the arm coupling part 34 comprises the attachment device 1 1 .
- the implement rotation axis 35 extends at
- the rotation device 32 is optional, and can be omitted if undesired. The need varies between different excavators.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly 41 comprises a breakout cylinder 42 connectable at one end 43 thereof to the arm 2 at the second portion 9, a first tilting cylinder 44, connected at a first end 45 thereof to the implement coupling 5 on one side of the tilt axis 12, and an interconnection linkage 46, wherein the breakout cylinder 42 is pivotally connected at a second end 47 thereof with the interconnection linkage 46, and wherein the first tilting cylinder 44 is pivotally connected at a second end 48 thereof with the interconnection linkage 46.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly 41 comprises a second tilting cylinder 49, which similarly to the first tilting cylinder 44 is pivotally connected with the implement coupling 5, though at an opposite side of the tilt axis 12 relative to the first tilting cylinder 44, and pivotally connected to the interconnection linkage 46.
- the first and second tilting cylinders 44, 49, and the breakout cylinder 42 are interconnected via a common
- interconnection shaft 52 Furthermore, the interconnection linkage 46 is pivotally connected with the arm at the implement end 7 of the arm 2.
- the interconnection linkage 46 comprises first and second side links 53, 54, which are pivotally connected with the first and the second tilting cylinders 44, 49, respectively, and which are pivotally connected with the arm 2 at the implement end 7 of the arm 2. More particularly, the side links 53, 54 are connected with the tilting cylinders 44, 49 via the interconnection shaft, i.e. the side links 53, 54 are connected with the interconnection shaft 52 next to the first and the second tilting cylinders 44, 49, respectively. Furthermore, the interconnection linkage 46 comprises a centre link 55 pivotally connected with the hydraulic cylinder 42 at its second end, via the interconnection shaft 52, and with the arm 2 between the connections of the first and second side links 53, 54.
- the hydraulic cylinder 42 has a conventional U-shaped end piece 56 with holes for the interconnection shaft 52 in the legs of the U, wherein the end of the centre link 55 is received between the legs, but as for other parts of the apparatus, other alternatives are feasible.
- the implement coupling 5 comprises two connection elements 57, 58, which are rotatably mounted at their ends, in parallel with the tilt axis 12, and pivotally connected with the respective first and second tilting cylinders 44, 49, wherein the pivot axis of each connection element 57, 58 extends perpendicular to the rotation axis of the connection element 57, 58.
- the large hydraulic cylinder 42 has the single function of breaking out the implement coupling 5, and thus the implement 3, while the first and second tilting cylinders 44, 49 provide the tilting movements.
- the control of the implement movements is slightly simplified relative to the first embodiment, while the tilting cylinders 44, 49 are more difficult to manufacture due to the requirements of both high forces, i.e. breakout and tilting forces in combination, and their relatively small size in order to fit between the interconnection linkage 46 and the implement coupling 5.
- the apparatus preferably additionally comprises a rotation device 59 comprised in the implement coupling 5, as in the first embodiment.
- a third embodiment of the present apparatus is similar to the second embodiment, except for some additional parts.
- the hydraulic cylinder assembly 60 comprises a breakout cylinder 61 , first and second tilting cylinders 62, 63, and an interconnection linkage 64 comprising similar pars as in the second embodiment. These parts are interconnected in the same way as in the second embodiment.

- the intermediate member 67 like the connection elements 68, 69, is rotatably connected with the implement coupling 70, wherein a longitudinal axis of the intermediate shaft is aligned with the tilt axis.
- the centre rod 65 relieve the tilting cylinders 62, 63 of the breaking out force applied to the implement coupling 70 by the hydraulic cylinder, or breakout cylinder 61 .
- the apparatus preferably additionally comprises a rotation device 71 comprised in the implement coupling 70, as in the first embodiment.
