Definitions

  • the invention relates to a quick coupler according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such quick couplers are used for easy and convenient changing of different attachments on earthmoving machines, such as construction machines and excavators.
  • a quick coupler e.g. buckets, grabs, shears, compactors, magnets, hydraulic hammers or other attachments can be coupled or uncoupled in a few seconds and with a high safety standard from a driver's cab e.g. on a boom of an excavator.
  • the attachments/work tools are each provided with an adapter that has two parallel adapter axles or one adapter axle on one side and another designed adapter element, for example an adapter plate, on the other side.
  • the quick coupler engages an adapter axle of the adapter on one side.
  • the quick coupler includes a housing and at least one coupling claw aligned in a first direction for engaging in the associated adapter axis of the adapter.
  • the quick coupler is provided with a locking element that can be moved between a locking position and an open position for locking the quick coupler in the adapter, which is aligned in a second direction.
  • a safety mechanism in the form of a catching device is provided to hold the adapter axis of the adapter on the tool.
  • the safety mechanism has at least one movable safety element which can be pivoted about a first axis of rotation between an open position and a safety position. In the securing position, the opening of the coupling claw is reduced in such a way that the adapter axis of the adapter with this and the working device is definitely is held in a form-fitting manner.
  • the locking element has unintentionally released, which is possible with a faulty locking.
  • the locking element is extended only minimally and is supported against part of the adapter, or is extended completely into the void. However, if the quick coupler is completely unlocked, the additional safety element is pressed into the open position.
  • Quick couplers with such a safety mechanism are for example from the CH 700 307 A1 , the WO 2004/038110 A1 , the U.S. 2012/093572 A1 and the EP 3 502 357 A1 known.
  • a disadvantage of these known safety mechanisms is that they can also become detached in the safety position, for example as a result of wear, incorrect handling or a malfunction of the safety mechanism.
  • a quick coupler is out of the EP 2 119 834 A2 known.
  • the securing element in the closed position of the adapter axis of the adapter and in the securing position of the securing element, the securing element has a first contact area.
  • the securing element is in contact with the adapter axle via this first contact area when the adapter axle is in the closed position of the coupling claws of the quick coupler.
  • This first contact area is arranged with regard to the axis of rotation of the securing element such that when the adapter axle is subjected to a load in the direction out of the closed position in the coupling claw of the quick coupler, this force resulting from the load moves the securing element further into the securing position via the first contact area around the axis of rotation.
  • the disadvantage of this design is that the clutch claw is weakened by this design, which can lead to premature material failure.
  • the weakened claw can cause it to bend open, since the forces arising from the arrangement of the axis of rotation in the immediate vicinity of the first contact area can become very large.
  • this quick coupler is very tall, which is disadvantageous in operation, and is open at the bottom and therefore unprotected from external influences.
  • the disadvantage of this design is that a large part of the forces occurring during operation necessarily acts on the securing element. This leads to jamming, premature wear and deterioration of the locking mechanism.
  • the first contact area is arranged on one side of the plane and the axis of rotation on the other side of the plane in relation to a plane perpendicular to a straight line which runs perpendicular to the axis of rotation and to a central axis of the coupling claw when the adapter axis is in the closed position of the clutch claws.
  • the plane runs through the claw axis.
  • the invention is based on the object of further developing a quick coupler according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that a reliable construction is made possible while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned.
  • a reliable construction is made possible while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned.
  • the securing mechanism should therefore fulfill its function under all circumstances without weakening the coupling claw in the process.
  • the quick coupler should also be built low.
  • the invention is based on the finding that by arranging the axis of rotation in the housing of the quick coupler and at a distance relative to the first contact area and by arranging the adapter axis in the coupling claw between the first contact area and the axis of rotation of the securing element in the securing position and by a the Adapter axis carrying the coupling claw during operation, on the one hand, the coupling claw is not weakened and, on the other hand, further constructive possibilities result, which result from the larger lever of the safety element occurring between the first contact area and the axis of rotation, which ensure safe and error-free operation and, in particular, also simplify it Enable drive options of the fuse element. It is also ensured in a simple manner that unintentional opening of the securing element, even under the loads occurring during operation, is avoided, since the securing element is then pressed further in the direction of the closed position using a higher torque.
  • the first contact area is arranged such that when the adapter axis is in the closed position in the coupling claw of the quick coupler, the first contact area is arranged above a straight line which runs perpendicularly between the axis of rotation of the securing element and the claw axis.
  • the moment to hold the adapter axle in the coupling claw is easily increased by the larger lever arm.
  • the clutch claw is also not weakened in the process, thus increasing operational safety in a simple manner. If there are high loads during operation, the securing element is pressed into the securing position by a torque that is considerably higher than in the prior art. This prevents the securing element from moving out of the securing position in the direction of the opening position, even under high loads during operation.
  • the quick coupler is thus more secure in the closed position and securing position, in which the adapter axle of the attachment adapter remains connected to the quick coupler in any case. This prevents attachments that were incorrectly or not locked from falling down at all costs.
  • the clutch claw absorbs the essential forces during operation.
  • the claw axis can be arranged concentrically to the central axis of the adapter axis when the adapter axis is properly in the closed position.
  • the axis of rotation of the securing element in the open position can be arranged above in relation to a horizontal plane and the first contact area can be arranged below this horizontal plane.
  • the axis of rotation in the closed position can be arranged above in relation to the horizontal plane and the first contact area can be arranged below this horizontal plane. This results in favorable leverage effects during operation of the securing element.
  • the securing element has at least one shape with a second contact area, which comes into contact with the adapter axle of the adapter when the quick coupler is inserted into the adapter and, as a result of a predetermined further relative movement of the adapter axle in the direction of the closed position of the adapter axle, further over the presses the second contact area into the open position of the securing element about the axis of rotation.
  • a third contact area of the securing element is provided, which comes into contact with the adapter axle and the securing element with a further relative movement of the adapter axle in the direction of the closed position of the securing element pushes out of the open position around the axis of rotation.
  • picking up the adapter axle of the adapter connected to an attachment it is moved to the center of the quick coupler claw.
  • the adapter axis hits the third contact area of the securing element.
  • the resulting force on the third contact area causes the security element to rotate about its axis of rotation in the direction of the closed position.
  • the first, second and third contact areas of the securing element can be arranged at different positions relative to one another on the securing element, in particular in order to optimize the lever ratios for the functions mentioned.
  • the securing element when the quick coupler is not unlocked, the securing element is arranged in the securing position, with the second contact area then being arranged such that when the quick coupler is inserted into the adapter with the quick coupler not unlocked, the second contact area comes into contact first with the adapter axis .
  • the second contact area together with the central axis of the adapter axis forms a second straight line running perpendicular to the central axis and the axis of rotation is arranged above it in such a way that when the adapter axis of the adapter comes into contact with the securing element when the quick coupler is inserted into the adapter, the axis of rotation is arranged above the straight line when the adapter axis rests on the coupling claw and is in contact with the second contact area.
  • the coupling claw preferably extends so far forward that it serves as a guide for the adapter axis when this adapter axis is introduced into the coupling claw.
  • the first contact area can be arranged in such a way that when the adapter axis is in the closed position in the coupling claw of the quick coupler, the first contact area is arranged on an inner side of the securing element, which is on a distance from the axis of rotation, perpendicular to the straight line and through the central axis and/or the claw axis is in the plane.
  • At least one of the contact areas is preferably designed in such a way that the contact area contacts the adapter axis in a point-like or linear manner.
  • the securing element surrounds the adapter axis by more than 140°, in particular 150°, preferably 160°, in relation to the central axis of the adapter axis in the securing position of the securing element and in the closed position.
  • the pivoting angle of the securing element can be between 15° and 90°, in particular between 20° and 30°.
  • the securing element can be actively and permanently pressed in the direction of the securing position by means of auxiliary energy. For example, this can be done by a spring that acts on the securing element in the direction of the securing position.
  • the securing element is preferably designed in the form of a claw, with the claw running straight in certain areas, and in particular being able to run out straight at the free end.
  • the securing element can be moved from the securing position into an open position by a drive element.
  • the drive element can be coupled to the drive of the locking element of the quick coupler. Alternatively or additionally, the drive element can also be coupled to an opening mechanism that is independent of the drive of the locking element.
