Description
- The present invention relates to a quick coupler connection system for a construction machine and, more particularly, to a quick coupler connection system for a construction machine in which the coupling position of an actuating rod and a connecting block is automatically adjusted so that a quick coupler main body and a heavy equipment attachment device are quickly and safely combined, in which the quick coupler main body and the attachment device can be more easily combined, a stronger connection force can be achieved, and operation noise can be reduced by combining the quick coupler main body and the attachment device in a 3-point supporting type and a pin-hook coupling type.
- In general, heavy equipment that is used at construction sites or engineering work sites, for example, an excavator is construction equipment that is widely used for a road construction, waterworks and sewer construction, basic building construction, land development construction, construction for picking earth and sand, etc. Such equipment is selectively equipped with various attachments for different purposes, depending on the purpose of the work.
- It is possible to change various attachments and perform various works, depending on purposes such as a digging work that uses a bucket, a work of crushing concrete building and cutting reinforcing rods using a crusher, a work of breaking rocks and concrete, a work of carrying scrap iron and rocks using a grab, a work of digging vertical pits and construction foundations for water and sewer facilities using a clamshell bucket.
- An attachment is usually detachably coupled to the arm of an excavator to be replaced, depending on purposes, and recently, a quick coupler that is coupled to the arm of an excavator and enables an attachment to be easily connected has been developed and widely used.
- The quick coupler is firmly coupled to the arm and the cylinder-side push link of an excavator by two pin coupling structures on a quick change body and can fasten an attachment using a fixed hook and a moving hook.
- Accordingly, a driver of an excavator couples or separates the quick coupler to or from a bucket or a breaker mounted at the end of an arm by operating a lever, so it is possible to easily handle and use attachments.
- Meanwhile, the quick coupler has a safety device, for example, a safety pin to prepare for a safety accident as a measure for preventing the danger of separation of an attachment due to breakdown of a hydraulic cylinder of the quick coupler or damage to a hydraulic hose during work.
- However, in order to replace an attachment such as a bucket or a breaker on the quick coupler, a worker has to manually separate a safety pin from a previously mounted attachment or fasten a safety pin after mounting a new attachment, so the work is difficult and troublesome and takes a long of time.
- In the related art, there is
Korean Patent No. 10-1043036, titled "Attachment coupler for heavy machinery, ensuring a complete coupling with the attachment" (registered on June 14, 2011 - According to this related art, it is possible to doubly lock the fixed hook using the locking hook and the power transmission member that are operated with movement of the moving hook, but it is difficult to couple the pin member, the fixed hook, and the moving hook and the configuration for attachment/detachment and double safety coupling is complicated, so the manufacturing cost increases. Further, it is complicated to couple/decouple the pins and the quick coupler to/from each other, so there is inconvenience that assembly and disassembly can be made only at the exact position.
- As another example related with a quick coupler, there is
Korean Patent No. 10-1425075, titled "Attachment quick change construction for heavy equipment" (registered on July 24, 2014 - However, according to the existing quick coupler structure, in order to couple the quick coupler body and the attachment body, a first connection pin of the quick coupler body is hooked to the assembly hook formed at the upper portion of the fixed jaw and the cylinder connection pin at the lower portion of the quick coupler body is hooked to the fixing hook to couple the fixed jaw to the upper connection portion of the quick coupler body, but the lower portion of the fixed jaw and the lower portion of the quick coupler body are coupled in a surface contact type. Therefore, the quick coupler body and the attachment body may not be firmly connected and shock noise may be generated by contact of the lower connection portion in the process of assembly.
- Further, a worker has to manually align the connection block of the moving jaw and the actuating rod of the quick coupler body at the pin-coupling position and then pin-couple them using a coupling pin, but there is a possibility of a safety accident of the worker in the process of connecting a heavy attachment to the quick coupler body by manually lifting the moving jaw of the attachment to the actuating rod at the upper portion of the quick coupler body and then pin-coupling the connection block to the actuating rod. Further, it is difficult to align the coupling positions of the connection block and the moving road, so the work takes long time.
- Further, it is required to fix the actuating cylinder for operating the moving jaw before coupling the quick coupler body and an attachment in the existing quick coupler body and it is required to separately keep the fixing pin for fixing the actuating cylinder after coupling the quick coupler body and the attachment.

coupling pin 140, as shown inFIGS. 4a and7 , thecylinder tube 152 of theactuating cylinder 150 is fixed to the left and rightquick coupler bodies pin 350 of the supportingassembly 300 to the fixinghole 325a of the supportingblock 320 and the supportingholes 330 formed at the left and rightquick coupler bodies actuating cylinder 150 before theactuating cylinder 150 is pin-coupled to the movingjaw 220 by thecoupling pin 140. - After the
coupling pin 140 is pin-coupled, as shown inFIG. 4b , the supportingpin 350 of the supportingassembly 300 can be separated out of the fixinghole 325a and the supportingholes 330 and fitted into the keeping holes 340 to be stowed, so it is possible to prevent loss of the supportingpin 350. - Accordingly, when the moving
jaw 220 is rotated clockwise by excavator equipment in the process of pin-coupling the movingjaw 220 of theattachment 200 and theactuating rod 154 of theactuating cylinder 150 with thecoupling pin 140, theguides 250 on the connection block 225 of the movingjaw 220 come in contact with the top of the movingjaw 220 and the assembly position of thecoupling pin 140 is naturally determined. Accordingly, the assembly position of thecoupling pin 140 is determined not manually, but naturally, so it is possible to prevent a safety accident of a worker and easily pin-couple thecoupling pin 140. - Further, since the first and second connection pins 131 and 132 and the
cylinder pin 133 are disposed at a side of the quick couplermain body 100 and the first and second assembly hooks 212 and 214 and the fixinghook 213 are disposed at the other portion of the fixedjaw 213 facing the side of the quick couplermain body 100 to correspond to the pins, the fixedjaw 210 and the quick couplermain body 100 are coupled in a 3-point supporting type, so they can be simply and firmly assembled. - Further, the
actuating cylinder 150 is supported by the supportingpin 350 to be able to be fixed to the left andright coupler bodies coupling pin 140, but the supportingpin 350 can be kept in thekeeping hole 340 after pin-coupling of thecoupling pin 140, so it is possible to easily manage and keep the supportingpin 350. - Further, since the chamfered
portion 142 and the stoppingstep 143 are formed on the outer surface of thecoupling pin 140, it is possible to prevent separation of thecoupling pin 140 before coupling theactuating rod 154 and theconnection block 225. Further, since thefastening bolts 290 are inserted in thefitting hole 144 of the coupling pin through the fastening holes 275 of thefastening block 270 and the drivenblock 280, the coupling pin can be easily fixed. - Although detailed embodiment(s) were described above in the detailed description of the present invention, the present invention may be modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the claims.
