Description
LIFTING DEVICE AND MACHINE
The present invention relates to lifting devices, and more precisely to a lifting device for facilitating an operator of a machine to access the cabin of the machine.
The cabin for an operator in machines, such as heavy vehicles like trucks, is usually so high that the operator, such as the driver, needs to climb to reach the cabin. Therefore the operator needs to be in a good physical shape to be able to perform the climb. Climbing to the cabin repeatedly during the working shift causes physical stress even to an operator being in a good physical shape and increases the risk of getting musculoskeletal diseases and tires the operator. It is commonly known that when tired, people make more mistakes which in turn cause more accidents. It is also time-consuming to climb up to the cabin of the machine several times during the shift, especially if the cabin is located high up from the ground.
There have been some attempts to overcome problems as can be seen from the documents cited below.
Document KR20110053750A discloses an elevating scaffold for a freight car to improve convenience by enabling a passenger to vertically elevate the scaffold n 20 only when the passenger steps on the scaffold.

< Document EP0778177A2 discloses a working vehicle containing a chassis
O with a driver's cabin which is eguipped with a step construction with at least one step.
D The step is coupled to a lifting and lowering device which is controllable by means of
T switching devices which are located at least in the vicinity of the step construction. a
J 25 Document DE3618477A1 discloses a lift assigned laterally to the driver's 3 cab of a heavy lorry, by means of which the driver and/or passenger can enter the
O driver's cab from the roadway and/or can return to the roadway from the driver's cab without having to negotiate relatively high steps. The lift is a raisable and lowerable platform, on which the driver can modify his position in a vertical direction while standing. A stationary vertical gripping rod provides the person standing on the platform with support and helps to guide the lift plate. The drive is partly arranged inside the gripping rod.
Document US2016339845A1 discloses a driver lift device lifting a driver to enter an elevated cab on farm equipment or the like. The device includes an elongated post vertically mounted to a vehicle proximate an entry into a cab of the vehicle. Each of a top end and a bottom end of a pole is coupled to the post such that the pole is positioned in parallel spaced relationship to the post. Each of a plurality of rollers is coupled to a housing defining a vertical path through the housing. The pole extends through the vertical path. A foot support is coupled to the housing. A winch is coupled to the top end of the pole. A strap couples the housing to the winch whereby operation of the winch elevates and lowers the foot support on the pole.
A problem with all the above applications is that if the lifting device malfunctions, either the operator is not able to reach the cabin or to get down from the cabin at all. This is because there is only one platform or foothold taking care of lifting and optionally lowering the operator to and from the cabin.
An object of the present invention is to provide a lifting device and a machine that overcome the above problems.
The objects of the invention are achieved by the lifting device and the
D machine which are characterized by what is stated in the independent claims. The
N preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims. 3 The invention is based on the idea of providing a lifting device for
T facilitating the operator of a machine to access the cabin of the machine, wherein the
E: 25 lifting device comprises a first ladder arrangement; the first ladder arrangement 5 comprises at least one foothold; the first ladder arrangement is arranged to be moved 3 in a vertical direction, the lifting device comprises a second ladder arrangement
O arranged adjacent and parallel to the first ladder arrangement, the second ladder arrangement comprising at least one foothold and being arranged to be moved in a vertical direction; the lifting device comprises an actuator arrangement connected to the first ladder arrangement and to the second ladder arrangement; the actuator arrangement is arranged to move the first ladder arrangement in a first vertical direction and the second ladder arrangement in a second vertical direction opposite the first vertical direction as a response to a force applied by the operator on the at least one foothold of the first ladder arrangement; and the actuator arrangement is arranged to move the second ladder arrangement in the first vertical direction and the first ladder arrangement in the second vertical direction as a response to a force applied by the operator on the at least one foothold of the second ladder arrangement.
In other words, the actuator arrangement is arranged to move each ladder arrangement automatically when the operator steps with one foot on the foothold of the corresponding ladder arrangement. The second ladder arrangement moves always in an opposite direction to the first ladder arrangement. When the movement of the ladder arrangement has reached its terminal position, the operator can step with another foot on a foothold of the adjacent ladder arrangement, which then continues the movement in the desired direction. The lifting device can be used for escalating to the cabin from the ground but also for lowering to the ground from the cabin. The movement of the ladder arrangements is similar to so called man engine or
Fahrkunst used in mines in 19th century with the exception that in the current invention, the movement is not continuous but only generated as a response to the force applied by the operator to the foothold of a ladder arrangement.
An advantage of the invention is that because there is a second ladder @ arrangement that moves in the opposite direction to the first ladder arrangement, the & operator is able to climb up or down the first and second ladder arrangements in case 8 there is a malfunction in the lifting device. In the worst case, the first ladder
D 25 arrangement is in a position in which all the footholds are parallel or close to parallel = with the footholds of the second ladder arrangement. Even in this case it is possible - to climb up or down the ladder arrangements provided that the distance between two & footholds is not too long for the operator.

Power transmission
According to some embodiments, the lifting device 30 comprises a first pulley 34a, a second pulley 35a, and a belt 36a wrapped around the first pulley 34a and the second pulley 35a. The actuator arrangement 33 is connected to the first pulley 34a. The first ladder arrangement 31 and the second ladder arrangement 32 are connected to the belt 36a. In other words, the power transmission is implemented with a belt drive. In this embodiment, the torque transmitted from the actuator arrangement 33 to the first pulley 34a can be adjusted by adjusting the tightness of the belt 36a around the first pulley 34a and the second pulley 35a.

According to some embodiments, the actuator arrangement 33 is arranged to move the firstladder arrangement 31 from the lower terminal position to the upper terminal position as a response to the application of force F on the at least one foothold 311 of the first ladder arrangement 31 when the first ladder arrangement 31 is in the lower terminal position. In these embodiments, the actuator arrangement 33 is also arranged to move the first ladder arrangement 31 from the upper terminal position to the lower terminal position as a response to the application of force F on the at least one foothold 311 of the first ladder arrangement 31 when the first ladder arrangement 31 is in the upper terminal position. In these embodiments, the actuator arrangement 33 is also arranged to move the second ladder arrangement 32 from the lower terminal position to the upper terminal position as a response to the application of force F on the at least one foothold 321 of the second ladder arrangement 32 when the second ladder arrangement 32 is in the lower terminal position. In these embodiments, the actuator arrangement 33 is also arranged to move the second ladder arrangement 32 from the upper terminal position to the lower terminal position as a response to the application of force F on the atleast one foothold 321 of the second ladder arrangement 32 when the second ladder arrangement 32 is in the upper terminal position. In other words, the operation direction of the lifting device depends on the position of the ladder arrangements 31, 32 as well as the foothold 311, 321 on which the operator applies the force F, and the operation direction is
JN selected automatically based on the foothold 311, 321 on which the operator applies
S the force F. 8 Preferably, in the previous embodiment, the actuator arrangement 33 is
D 25 arranged to disregard the continued application of force F after the ladder = arrangement 31, 32 has reached the terminal position until the user removes the force - F and applies it again. In other words, the actuator arrangement 30 is arranged to stop & operation when the ladder arrangement 31, 32 reaches the terminal position and until & the force F is applied again either on the foothold 311, 321 of the same ladder
N 30 arrangement 31, 32, or on the foothold 311, 321 of the other ladder arrangement 31, 32. This is to prevent the operation direction of the lifting device 30 from being reversed immediately when the ladder arrangement 31, 32 reaches the terminal position.
According to some other embodiments, the lifting device 30 comprises selecting means 40 connected to the actuator arrangement 33 for selecting the first vertical direction D1 between a direction away from the ground G and a direction towards the ground G. In this way, thelifting device can be switched between upwards and downwards movement so that it can be used for both entering the cabin 10 and exiting the cabin 10. For example, the selecting means 40 comprises a switch.
Machine
The invention relates also to a machine. The machine comprises a cabin 10, a machine body 20, and a lifting device 30 as defined above connected to the machine body 20.
