Description

[Technical Field]

The present invention relates to a vibrating ripper, and more particularly, to a vibrating ripper having a rotating member which compensates for a change in length due to rotation of at least one connecting member for supporting a vibrating body within a limited amplitude range, thereby allowing the vibrating body to vibrate up and down.

[Background Art]

Generally, to crush rock at a construction site, a breaker iron core is installed on an arm of heavy equipment and hits and crushes the rock. However, since such a conventional breaker hitting method causes loud noise pollution, heavy equipment with low noise and high efficiency is required. Also, in a terrain consisting of only rocks, the rocks are crushed using a breaker. However, in the case of soft rocks, when the breaker is used, the rocks are not crushed, but a hole is drilled. Therefore, an apparatus which can not only perform a simple rock crushing operation like that of a breaker, but can also crush and dig in the ground while vibrating up and down in the manner of a breaker while equipped with an excavator blade for digging in the ground in the manner of an excavator is required.
The present invention has proposed vibrating rippers disclosed in Korean Patent Registration Nos. 1158101 , 0878296 and 0755017 and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0054513 .

[Modes of the Invention]

Exemplary embodiments of a vibrating ripper according to the present invention are illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 9.
Referring to the drawings, a vibrating ripper 10 according to the present invention includes a vibrating body 20, a main body portion 30 which supports the vibrating body 20, a vibrating body support unit 40 which supports the vibrating body 20 to vibrate with respect to the main body portion 30, and a ripper blade 100 which is installed at a lower surface side of the vibrating body 20.
The main body portion 30 may have a vibrating space portion 31 of the vibrating body 10. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a support bracket portion 32 for coupling with operation equipment may be formed at an upper side or a side surface side of the main body portion 30 and may include first and second support frame members 33 and 34 which extend to both sides to form the vibrating space portion 31, and a cover frame 35 which is supported by the first and second support frame members 33 and 34. The vibrating space portion 31 may not be partitioned separately in the main body portion 30. The main body portion 30 is not limited to the above-described embodiment and may have any structure in which the vibrating body 20 is supported by the vibrating body support unit 40 to be capable of vibrating.
The vibrating body 20 is a member which is supported with respect to the main body portion 30 by the vibrating body support unit 40 to vibrate with a predetermined amplitude and may further include a vibration generating unit 200.
In the vibration generating unit 200, two rotating shafts each having an eccentric weight are installed in a housing in parallel, and gears which are engaged with the rotating shafts are installed on both. The eccentric weights installed at the driving shafts are installed in the same direction with respect to the rotating shafts to maximize vibration in up and down directions. An actuator which drives at least one of the two driving shafts is installed in the housing. A vibration generating unit having such a configuration is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 0878296 which was filed and registered by the applicant.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the vibrating body support unit 40 is a member which supports the vibrating body 20 to be capable of vibrating with respect to the main body portion 30 and includes at least one rotating member 41 which is installed at the vibrating body 20 and first and second connecting members 50 and 60, one end of each of which is rotatably installed at an upper or lower side of a rotation center of the rotating member 41 to be deviated from the rotation center of the rotating member 41 and the other end of which is rotatably installed at the main body portion 30.
The rotating member 41 may be installed in a direction perpendicular to a vibration direction of the vibrating body 20 and may be installed at upper and lower portions of the main body portion 30 to be located on a vertical axial line. The rotating member 41 may pass through the vibrating body 20 so that the ends thereof protrude to both sides and may be bearing-supported to rotate smoothly with respect to the vibrating body 20 in normal and reverse directions. In this case, it is preferable that an eccentric bearing be used as the bearing.
Meanwhile, the rotating member 41 may not pass through the vibrating body 20 but may be installed at both of corresponding side surfaces of the vibrating body 20. In this case, it is preferable that centers of the rotating members 41 and 42 be located on the same axial line. Also, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the rotating member 41 may be installed at a separate bracket 21 which is formed at an upper side of the vibrating body 20. The drawing illustrates that the rotating member 41 is installed at the vibrating body 20. Furthermore, the rotating member 41 may be installed at the main body portion 30, and the vibrating body and the rotating member may be connected by the first and second connecting members, as described above.
The amplitude of the vibrating body 20 may be adjusted according to a coupling position of each of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 coupled to an upper side and a lower side of a horizontal line based on the rotation center of the rotating member 41 by a hinge shaft. That is, when the vibrating body becomes far from the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 and the rotation center of the rotating member 41 upward or downward, the amplitude of the vibrating body is increased, and when the vibrating body becomes close to the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 and the rotation center of the rotating member 41, the amplitude of the vibrating body is reduced.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5, one end of each of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 of the vibrating body support unit 40 may be rotatably installed on the upper and lower sides of the rotation center of the rotating member 41 with second and fourth hinge shafts 52 and 62. The other end of each of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 is rotatably installed on the main body portion 30 with first and third hinge shafts 51 and 61. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 may be installed to maintain a horizontal state without rotating. As illustrated in FIG. 5, a connection portion between the first connecting member 50 and the main body portion 30 through the first hinge shaft 51 is located further up than a connection portion between the rotating member 41 and the second hinge shaft 52, and a connection portion between the second connecting member 60 and the main body portion 30 through the third hinge shaft 61 is located further up than a connection portion through the fourth hinge shaft 62 at the lower side of the rotation center of the rotating member 41.
In the embodiments, lengths of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 may not be the same as each other but may be formed to be different from each other in consideration of a rotation angle of the rotating member 41 and the hinge-coupling positions of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60.
As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, a tuning connection member 300, both ends of which are rotatably connected to the vibrating body 20 and the main body portion 30 to be tuned to the vibration, is further provided at a portion which is spaced a predetermined interval from the rotating member 41, e.g., at a vertical lower side of the rotating member 41. The tuning connection member 300 and the connection portion of the vibrating body 20 which is rotatably connected with the hinge shaft may not be located on a vertical axial line of the center of the rotating member 41 in consideration of rotation of the vibrating body when the vibrating body 20 is moved up and down.
The tuning connection member 300 may be configured with a cylinder. It is preferable that a double-acting hydraulic cylinder be used as the cylinder. That is, a rod 302 which is connected to a piston 301 of a hydraulic cylinder is rotatably installed at the ripper blade 100 by a hinge shaft, and a cylinder 303 in which the piston 301 is installed to be movable forward and backward is rotatably installed at the main body portion 30.
Although the double-acting hydraulic cylinder has been described as an example of the tuning connection member 300, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the tuning connection member 300 may be configured with a single-acting cylinder and a link.
As illustrated in FIG. 8, the rotating member may be installed at each of the upper and lower sides of the vibrating body 20, and as described above, the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 may be installed on the rotating members 41 and 42, respectively.
At least one anti-vibration member 70 may be installed between the vibrating body 20 and the main body portion 30. In this case, the vibrating body 20 may be supported with respect to the main body portion by the anti-vibration member 70 and may be supported by a separate member from the main body portion 30.
The anti-vibration member 70 may be installed between the vibrating body 20 and the main body portion 30. The anti-vibration member 70 may be formed of an elastic rubber material or an elastic body such as an elastic spring, but is not limited thereto. The anti-vibration member 70 may amplify the vibration generated from the vibration generating unit 200 and may provide a restoring force for the vibration when the vibrating body 20 vibrates. The anti-vibration member 70 may be installed between an upper surface side of the vibrating body 20 and a lower surface of the main body portion 30 and may be installed between the vibrating body 20 and the first support frame member 33 and between the vibrating body 20 and the second support frame member 34. The anti-vibration member 70 may be installed between the upper surface side of the vibrating body 20 and the lower surface of the main body portion 30 and between the vibrating body 20 and each of the first and second support frame members 33 and 34.
Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the main body portion 30 may further include a rotating member restoring unit 80 which restores the rotating member 30 to its original position when the rotating member 41 rotates. The rotating member restoring unit 80 may include a housing 82 which is installed at the main body portion 30 while surrounding a support shaft 81 of the rotating member and an elastic member 83 which is installed between an outer circumferential surface of the support shaft 81 of the rotating member and an inner circumferential surface of the housing 82 to restore rotation of the support shaft 81. At this time, the outer circumferential surface of the support shaft 81 may be formed to have a polygonal surface. The rotating member restoring unit is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment and may be formed so that a restoring protrusion is formed at the outer circumferential surface of the support shaft of the rotating member and an elastic spring is installed between the housing and the restoring protrusion. When the rotating member restoring unit is provided as described above, the anti-vibration member does not have to be installed between the main body portion 30 and the vibrating body 20.
FIGS. 10 to 14 illustrate another embodiment of the vibrating ripper according to the present invention. In the embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in the previous embodiment indicate the same elements as those in the previous embodiment.
Referring to the drawings, a vibrating ripper 10 according to the present invention includes a vibrating body 20, a main body portion 30 which supports the vibrating body 20, a vibrating body support unit 40 which supports the vibrating body 20 to vibrate with respect to the main body portion 30, and a ripper blade 100 which is installed at a lower portion of the vibrating body support unit 40. The vibrating body 20 is a member which is supported with respect to the main body portion 30 by the vibrating body support unit 40 to vibrate with a predetermined amplitude as described in the previous embodiment and may further include a vibration generating unit 200.
As illustrated in FIGS. 10 to 12, the vibrating body support unit 40 is a member which supports the vibrating body 20 to be capable of vibrating with respect to the main body portion 30 and includes at least one rotating member 41 which is installed at the ripper blade 100 and first and second connecting members 50 and 60, one end each of which is rotatably installed at an upper or lower side of a rotation center of the rotating member 41 to be deviated from the rotation center of the rotating member 41 and the other end of which is rotatably installed at a cover frame 35 of the main body portion 30. Each of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 may be configured with a link member and may be supported by a first hinge shaft 51 and a third hinge shaft 61 which are installed at the cover frame 35. An installation structure of the rotating member 41 may be the same as that in the previous embodiment. That is, the rotating member 41 may be installed in a direction perpendicular to a vibration direction of the vibrating body 20 and may be installed at upper and lower portions of the main body portion 30 to be located on a vertical axial line. The rotating member 41 may pass through the vibrating body 20 or the ripper blade 100 so that the ends thereof protrude to both sides and may be bearing-supported to rotate smoothly with respect to the vibrating body 20 in normal and reverse directions. As illustrated in FIG. 12, it is preferable that an eccentric bearing 45 be used as the bearing. Meanwhile, the rotating member 41 may be rotatably installed at the vibrating body 20.
A sub-main body 110, both sides of which are supported on the main body portion 30 by a first elastic support unit 120, is installed at an upper side of the vibrating body 20, a connecting member 111 extends from the vibrating body 20 toward the sub-main body 110, and a connection between the sub-main body 110 and the connecting member 111 may be achieved by a rotating shaft 113 which is rotatably installed at the connecting member 111 in a direction parallel to the rotating member 41 and both ends of which are supported by the sub-main body 110. The connecting member 111 may be supported by a bearing which is supported by the rotating shaft 113, and the bearing may be an eccentric bearing. Here, the eccentric bearing, which is installed at the rotating shaft 113 and supports the connecting member 111, may limit rotation of the rotating member 41 when the vibrating body 20 vibrates. However, a stopper which is not illustrated in the drawings and limits the rotation of the rotating member may be installed separately.
A first elastic member 115 which provides a reaction force, performs an elastic support operation and also absorbs a shock may be installed between an upper side of the connecting member 111 and an upper surface side of the sub-main body 110. A second elastic member 116 which performs the elastic support operation to provide the reaction force and also to absorb the shock like the first elastic member 115 is installed between the upper surface side of the sub-main body 110 and a lower surface of the main body portion 30 corresponding thereto. Each of the first and second elastic members 115 and 116 may be configured with a member capable of providing elastic force, such as elastic rubber, a shock absorber or an elastic spring.
Although not illustrated in the drawings, the second elastic member may be installed at a side surface of the sub-main body and a side surface of the main body portion corresponding thereto. The side surface of the sub-main body 110 and the side surface of the main body portion 30 at which the second elastic member is installed may be installed to be inclined.
As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 12, a tuning connection member 117 which tunes the sub-main body 110 to the main body portion 30 may be installed between the sub-main body 110 and the main body portion 30. A hydraulic cylinder may be used as the tuning connection member 117, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A connecting member, a shock absorber and an actuator which may be moved forward and backward may also be used.
FIGS. 12 to 14 illustrate still another embodiment of the vibrating ripper according to the present invention. The same reference numerals as those in the previous embodiments indicate the same elements as those in the previous embodiments.
Referring to the drawings, a vibrating ripper 10 according to the present invention includes a vibrating body 20, a main body portion 30 which supports the vibrating body 20, a vibrating body support unit 40 which supports the vibrating body 20 to vibrate with respect to the main body portion 30, and a ripper blade 100 which is installed at a lower portion of the vibrating body support unit 40.
The vibrating body support unit 40 is a member which supports the vibrating body 20 to be capable of vibrating with respect to the main body portion 30, and a vibrating body bracket 131 is installed at an upper side of the vibrating body 20, and one rotating member 41 is rotatably installed at the vibrating body bracket 131. One end of each of first and second connecting members 50 and 60 is rotatably installed at an upper or lower side of a rotation center of the rotating member 41 to be deviated from the rotation center of the rotating member 41 and the other end of each of first and second connecting members 50 and 60 is rotatably installed at the main body portion 30. The rotating member 41 may be supported by the vibrating body bracket 131 through an eccentric bearing 45.
A sub-main body 110 which is supported on the main body portion 30 by a first elastic support unit 120 is installed at an upper side of the vibrating body 20, and a first elastic member 115 which provides a reaction force, performs an elastic support operation and also absorbs a shock may be installed between an upper side of the vibrating body bracket 131 and an upper surface side of the sub-main body 110. A separate elastic member (not shown) which performs the elastic support operation to provide the reaction force and also to absorb the shock, like the second elastic member 116, is installed between the upper surface side of the sub-main body 110 and a lower surface of the main body portion 30 corresponding thereto, or a side surface of the sub-main body 110 and a side surface of the main body portion 30 corresponding thereto.
A tuning connection member (not shown), both ends of which are rotatably connected to the vibrating body 20 and the main body portion and which is tuned to vibration, may be further provided at a portion which is spaced a predetermined interval from the rotating member 41, e.g., at a vertical lower side of the rotating member 41. The tuning connection member may be configured with the hydraulic cylinder or the link, as described above. Both ends of the tuning connection member may be rotatably connected to the sub-main body and the main body portion and may also be rotatably connected to the ripper blade and the main body portion. The tuning connection member may be configured with the cylinder as described in the previous embodiments.
A stopper 140 which limits rotation of the rotating member 41 is installed at the vibrating body bracket 131 or the sub-main body 110. As illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 14, the stopper 140 is in contact with at least one first connecting member 50 or second connecting member 60 and limits a rotating position of the rotating member 41. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the stopper 140 may be in contact with an extending link portion 41 a of the rotating member 41 and may limit the rotating position of the rotating member 41.
The stopper 140 may include a stopper shaft 141 which extends from the vibrating body bracket 131 or the sub-main body 110 toward the first connecting member 50 or an upper side of the extending link portion 41a of the rotating member 41, an elastic member 142 which is installed along an outer circumferential surface of the stopper shaft 141, and an outer circumferential ring 143 which is installed on an outer circumferential surface of the elastic member 142. The outer circumferential ring 143 may be formed of a metal ring. Meanwhile, the elastic member 142 may be formed to be eccentric or may have an eccentric bearing. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the stopper may have any structure which can gradually reduce a rotating reaction force of the rotating member 41 and thus can limit the rotating position of the rotating member 41. For example, the stopper may be configured with an elastic member or may be configured with only an elastic member for absorbing the shock installed at the outer circumferential surface of the stopper shaft.
In the vibrating ripper 10 according to the present invention having the above-described configuration, the vibrating body 20 vibrates up and down due to driving of the vibration generating unit installed at the vibrating body 20.
In the vibrating ripper 10 that uses a length compensating member using rotation according to the present invention, the vibrating body 20 vibrates up and down due to driving of the vibration generating unit installed on the vibrating body 20 or the vibration generating unit installed on an attachment coupled to the vibrating body.
In this process, an action of the vibrating body support unit 40 which supports the vibrating body 20 is as follows.
When the vibrating body 20 is moved upward by an action of the vibration generating unit, a change amount in a length due to rotation of each of ends of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 as the vibrating body 20 is moved up while the rotating member 41 installed at the vibrating body 20 or the ripper blade 100 rotates is compensated for. That is, when the vibrating body 20 which is supported with respect to the main body portion 30 by the first and second connecting member 50 and 60 vibrates vertically upward, each of the ends of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 follows an arc trace due to the rotation of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60. At this time, a movement amount of each of the ends of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 toward the main body portion 30 while the rotating member 41 rotates is compensated for. Therefore, the vibrating body 20 may vibrate in the vibrating space portion 31 of the main body portion 30. In particular, since the rotating member 41 is supported by the eccentric bearing 45, a change in a position of each of the ends when the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 are rotated along the arc is compensated for. That is, while the rotating member 41 rotates, each of the ends of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 which connect the main body portion 30 and the rotating member 41, i.e., the rotating member 41, absorbs a change in a length of a connection portion. When the vibrating body 20 is moved downward from an uppermost portion (a top dead point) or is moved from a lowermost portion (a bottom dead point) to the uppermost portion, problems may occur due to inertia of the vibrating body 20. The eccentric bearing 45 moves the position of the rotating member 41 and thus compensates for or absorbs the problems.
In the case in which the vibrating body 20 is moved down, when the vibrating body 20 vibrates vertically downward, the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 are rotated in the reverse direction, and each of the ends of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 follows the arc trace. At this time, while the rotating member 41 rotates, ends of the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 move away from the main body portion 30, and the change amount thereof is absorbed by the rotating member. Therefore, the vibrating body 20 vibrates up and down.
Meanwhile, an operation of the vibrating ripper as illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 15 is also substantially the same as that in the previous embodiment. Since the rotating member 41 is installed at the upper portion of the vibrating body 30, and the tuning connection member 300 is installed at the ripper blade 100 or the sub-main body 110, the rotation of the main body portion due to an external force applied to the vibrating body 20 and the ripper blade 100 can be prevented, and since the stopper 140 which is in contact with the first connecting member 50 or the second connecting member is installed at the sub-main body 110, the rotating portion of the rotating member 41 can be limited.
In this process, since the connecting member 111 installed at the upper side of the vibrating body 20 is supported by the sub-main body 110 through the bearing, distortion of the vibration due to excessive rotation of the rotating member 41 which is supported by the first and second connecting members 50 and 60 can be prevented when the vibrating body 20 is moved up and down. Also, since the sub-main body 110 is supported on the main body portion 30 by the first elastic support unit 120, the vibration of the vibrating body 20 can be prevented from being transmitted to the main body portion 30.
In particular, since the first and second elastic members 115 and 116 are installed between the sub-main body 110 and the connecting member 111 and between the sub-main body 110 and the main body portion 30, transmission of the vibration generated from the vibrating body 20 from being transmitted to the main body portion 20 can be reduced, and the vibration can also be prevented from being transmitted to an excavator boom which supports the main body portion 30.
Since the tuning connection member 300 is installed between the sub-main body 110 and the main body portion 30, the ripper blade can be prevented from being rotated when the external force is applied to the vibrating body 20 and the ripper blade 100.
As described above, the vibration acting on the vibrating body 20 is transmitted to the ripper blade 100 and crushes rocks, and the vibration applied to the vibrating body 20 and the ripper blade 100 is concentrated on an end side of the ripper blade 100, and thus a crushing force of the rocks and an excavating force can be increased. In particular, when the vibrating body vibrates downward, an inertial force due to a weight of the vibrating body 20 and a weight of the ripper blade 100 acts on the end of the ripper blade 100, and thus the crushing force can be further enhanced.
Although a few embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, they are merely illustrative, and it will be apparent that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes thereto within the scope of the invention defined by the claims. Therefore, the true scope of the present invention should be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
