Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、主として建設機械,土木機械など過酷な条件で使用される機械に組み込まれて可動する作業機に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、建設作業や土木作業に使用されている作業機械、例えば油圧ショベル100は、図4に示されるように、装軌式の下部走行体101と、この下部走行体101に旋回機構102を介して旋回自在に装着される上部旋回体103を備え、その上部旋回体103の前部に、それぞれ油圧シリンダによって操作されるブーム106とアーム107およびバケット108を有する作業機105が付設されている。なお、上部旋回体103上には、図示省略される駆動機(エンジン)並びにカウンタウエイト109が搭載されている。
【0003】
この油圧ショベル100における前記作業機のブーム106は、作業時において、例えばアーム107の先端に取付くバケット108を上向きの姿勢で最大限上部旋回体103側に近寄せて、かつ高い位置に持上げてダンプトラックに土砂を積み込むような操作を行わせることから,その作業半径の最大位置での操作と最小作業半径にバケット108を引き込んで操作するのを容易にするとともに、輸送時に車高を低くできるようにする必要上、その外形をくの字(ブーメラン形)に形成されている。このようにブーム106は、作業時の機能性と輸送時における利便性とが要因となって外形が定まっており、構造上製作容易でかつ強度を高める関係から、このブーム106の断面形状を箱型形状(ボックス構造)にされている。
【0004】
このようなブーム106には、掘削時にバケット108を土砂に貫入させるため上下方向に大きな負荷が作用し、また貫入させて掬い取った土砂をダンプトラックなどに積み込むために上部旋回体103とともに旋回されるために左右方向の負荷が作用する。当然、これらの負荷に加えてねじれ負荷が作用する。このような負荷に対して変形に耐え得るように、幅寸法に対して高さ寸法を高くして、かつブームを上下に作動させるためのブームシリンダとの接続部となるボス部の近傍において内部に横断するような隔壁材やボス部を補強するパイプ材などの断面拘束材を設けて強化するような構造とされている。
【0005】
しかしながら、前述のような構造のブームなど長尺の作業機の構成部材では、その剛性を高めて耐久性向上を図ることができる反面、自重量が増し、これに連動して大きなカウンタウエイトを必要とする。言換えると車両の重量が軽減できないという問題点が生じていた。そこで、作業機械の軽量化・小型化を図る目的から、前述のような油圧ショベルにおける作業機のブームにあっては、従来方式のボックス構造からより合理的な構造で軽量化する試みが、本出願人の先出願(特願2001−399403号)によって提案されている。このブーム50は、構成する上下の部材51,52を、図5に示されるように、所要の板材を用いて幅方向の両端部51a,51a(52a,52a)を縁曲げして断面が扁平なU字状にされた部材として、その両縁曲げ部(両端部)を上下に相対向するように配し、その各縁曲げ部端を側面板53,53にて繋ぎ合わせるように溶接したコーナ部Aがラウンド形のボックス構造にして、かつブーム50の中央部への応力による変形を抑制する縦仕切板(縦リブ)55を配設し、その前後位置に横仕切板(隔壁板56)をそれぞれ配した構造とすることで、強度を低下させることなく軽量化を図ることができる。なお、図中符号57はアクチュエータとの連結ボス部である。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この特願2001−399403号によって提案された構成の作業機におけるブーム50では、その後の研究によって予測されなかった問題点が発生することが判明した。すなわち、そのブーム50における中央部分においては、ブームシリンダとの連結ボス部形成個所(図4におけるB)から前後に所要距離おいて設けられる横仕切板(隔壁板56)間に、そのほぼ中央線上で縦リブ55を設けて、それらを両端縁部51a,52aが曲げ加工された上下両部材51,52と溶接されて一体化する構造である。そのために、大きな負荷が作用すると縦リブ55はその取付け状態を維持できるが、基部側に位置する横仕切板に近い位置では上下両部材の平坦面部で、図5に二点鎖線aにて示されるように、縦リブ55との接合個所から両側板までの間が外向きに膨出する(現象を了解できるように誇張して表わしている)ようになり、これに伴い左右両側板53,53が内向きに引き寄せられる状態(二点鎖線bで表わす)で変形する現象が現れた。
【0007】
このような変形現象の発生は、横断面形状におけるコーナ部Aが板材を曲げ加工したラウンド形の上面部材51と下面部材52の間に縦リブ55を配置し、両縁51a,52aの端部で側板53を溶接する構成とされるため、掘削時に縦リブ55と上下面部材51,52との溶接個所とコーナ部Aとの間に引張り応力が生じて膨出し、一方コーナ部分Aは形状を保とうと引張り応力が生じてそれに伴い左右両側板53,53が内向きに引き寄せられて所期の目的が十分に達成できない状態となったと推察される。
【0008】
本発明は、このような問題点を解決するためになされたもので、軽量化に際して局部的高応力部が発生するのを防止できる構成とされるボックス断面構造の長尺構造物を具備する作業機を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段および作用・効果】
前述された目的を達成するために、本発明による作業機は、
断面形状が幅方向の両端部に厚肉コーナ部を有するフランジ部とそれら両フランジ部間の略中央部に突稜部とを形成される型鋼材を、少なくとも上下いずれかに用いて前記フランジ部に側板を接合してなるボックス断面構造の長尺構造物を具備することを特徴とするものである(第1発明)。
【0010】
本発明によれば、構成される構造部材において高応力が発生する部分となる組合せ部材との接合部のみを板厚の増した素材(型鋼材)を用いることで、加工による応力の低減を図り、長尺構造物全体の重量軽減をなし得て、真に高強度で軽量化された作業機を提供でき得るという効果を奏するものである。
【0011】
前記発明において、ボックス断面構造の長尺構造物は、その上下に前記型鋼材を対向させて用い、その対向する両側のフランジ部にそれぞれ側板を接合させて構成されるのがよい(第2発明)。このようにすることで、コーナ部の肉厚が厚く形成された素材をそのまま縦通部材として使用できるので、形鋼材として素材が本来所有する剛性を活用して断面強度の高い、かつ板厚を薄くして軽量化された長尺構造物を得ることができる。
【0012】
前記発明において、長尺構造物はブームであり、その中央部分に起伏用アクチュエータの可動端部の取付ボス部が設けられ、その取付ボス部位置から長手方向の前後に所要距離をおいて内部に隔壁板が設けられ、かつその両隔壁板間でブームの中央軸線に沿って設けられる縦リブが、前記型鋼材の突稜部に溶接される構成であるのが好適である(第3発明)。こうすると、例えば油圧ショベルの作業機におけるブームとして、高負荷により局部的高応力が中央部分における局所に発生しても、素材の原型が維持されるとともに、全体の板厚をアップさせることなく縦リブと上下板との接合部の応力を低減することができ、高強度な軽量化作業機の実現が可能になる。
【0013】
また、前記第3発明において、ブームの中央部側板に設けられる起伏用アクチュエータとの連結ボス部の組付け部は、前記縦リブをボックス構造の内部で溶接作業できる透かし孔が側板に設けられ、その透かし孔を覆って固着される覆い板片を介して連結ボス部が所定位置に溶接固着される構成であるのがよい(第4発明)。こうすることにより、ボックス構造のブームの内部に取付けられる縦リブの溶接を容易化し得る開口(透かし孔)を確保して、その開口を覆う覆い板片に連結ボス部を取付けて、冶具により連結ボスの位置決めを行った後に覆い板片で開口部分を固定的に覆うようにすれば、正確な製品を無理なく製作できるという効果が得られる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明による作業機の具体的な実施の形態につき、図面を参照しつつ説明する。本実施形態は建設機械、例えば油圧ショベルにおける作業機のブームについて記載する。
【0015】
図1には、本実施形態のブームの全体斜視図が示されている。図2にはブームにおける要部を一部切欠いて表わす拡大斜視図が、図3にはブームを構成する要部の縦断面図が、それぞれ示されている。
【0016】
本実施形態のブーム10は、側面視ブーメラン形に形成されて従来のものと外観的に同様であるが、その構成部材について、上面部材11と下面部材12が異なるもので、かつ中央部の構成を異にするものである。なお、このブーム10の基端部には図示されない車体上部旋回体に対する取付ブラケット21が、また先端部にはアーム接続用のブラケット22がそれぞれ一体に付設されている。
【0017】
まず、上面部材11と下面部材12は、図2に示されるように、断面において(上面部材11と下面部材12は同一形状であるので、以下、詳細部分は上面部材11を代表して説明する)、所要幅の平坦部(ウエブ)11aの両端をほぼ直角に屈して適宜高さ寸法の側縁部(フランジ部)11bが両側に設けられ、かつ平坦部(ウエブ)11aの内側中央部分に突稜部11cが形成され、さらに、前記両側縁部11b,11bのコーナ部分11dを他の部分よりも肉厚が厚くされて外向き曲面を有する形状に圧延成形された、いわゆるラウンドコーナを備える圧延形鋼材が用いられる。
【0018】
このような上面部材11と下面部材12とは、同一寸法形状のものを、そのウエブ面11a(12a)を外向きにして上下対称に配置され、別途所定の外形寸法に板材から切り出されてなる側板13,13の外形と合致するように曲げ加工されたものを、それらの両フランジ部11b,12b端と前記側板13,13の側辺を突合せて溶接され、ボックス構造に形成される。
【0019】
また、ブーム10の中央部では、ブームシリンダ(本発明の起伏用アクチュエータに対応)のロッドとの連結ボス部15から長手方向の前後所要位置で内部に、隔壁板16,16がそれぞれブーム10の軸線に直交する向きで溶接配置され、それら隔壁板16,16間に縦リブ17が上面部材11と下面部材12のウエブ内側に位置する突稜部11c,12cに沿わせて溶接配置されて、それら隔壁板16,16と縦リブ17とによって強化構造にされている。なお、前記隔壁板16および縦リブ17は、ボックス構造に形成されたブーム10の両側板13,13に予め形成されている横長の透かし孔18を通じて、それぞれ内部で溶接される。また、前記縦リブ17には後述する連結ボス部15を構成するボス部片15aのフランジ部15cが挿通できる孔17aが対応する位置に設けられている。
【0020】
前記ブーム10の中央部に設けられる連結ボス部15は、所要口径のパイプ材15bの両端に連結軸を支持する軸孔を有するボス部片15a,15aが同軸芯で取付られ、そのボス部片15aには前記透かし孔18を覆う覆い板片19と接合するためのフランジ部15cが設けられている。このボス部片15aと覆い板片19および側板13の透かし孔18との結合関係は、前記透かし孔18の形状にほぼ合致する外形の覆い板片19が用意され、また、前記覆い板片19に設けられるボス部片15aの取付孔19aにボス部片15aのフランジ部15c外形がほぼ合致するように、それぞれ準備されたものを使用して、そのボス部片15aを一方の覆い板片19に設けられる取付孔19aから縦リブ17に設けられる孔17aを通して他方の覆い板片19の取付孔19aに臨ませ、そのボス部片15aの軸孔が所定寸法位置になるように、冶具を用いて位置決めされ、その後においてフランジ部15cと覆い板片19およびその覆い板片19と側板13の透かし孔18の周縁部とを溶接して一体化される。それら溶接部は、予め精密溶断加工によって孔部が形成されているので大きく位置ずれすることなく仕上ることができる。
【0021】
本実施形態の作業機のブーム10は、このような構成にされているので、軽量化を図る上で問題点となる局部的高応力が発生しやすいブーム10の中央部における強化部分にて、上下面部材11,12にラウンドコーナ部11dを厚肉にして、かつ縦リブ17との接合位置に突稜部11cが形成された形鋼材を用いることで、その形鋼材のもつ剛性をそのまま生かすことにより、応力の低減が可能になる。しかも、先願技術のように板材を曲げ加工してラウンドコーナ部を形成するものではないので、作業性が一段と向上し、より効果的に、かつ外観的にも美麗に仕上げられるという効果が得られる。
【0022】
さらに、この実施形態では、上面部材11および下面部材12をその全長に亙り前記形鋼材を使用して形成されることになるので、全体としての強度を高めることができるので、許容される範囲で要部以外の部分を薄肉に形成した素材を用いれば、無理なく軽量化させることができる。
【0023】
以上の説明においては、油圧ショベルのブームについて記載したが、そのほかに、アームなどボックス構造の長尺構造物においても素材の時点でラウンドコーナ部を有するものを用いて構成できるので、製作容易にして断面強度の高い製品を得ることができる。
【0024】
また、前記連結ボス部15のように長尺構造物の中間部に設けられる部材の取付構造において、その内部強化部材の組付けに要する透かし孔18を覆う部片19には、図示省略するが、必要に応じて膨らみを持たせた部片を配するようにすれば、断面強度を高め得るとともに、外観上の美的効果を高めることができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a working machine which is mainly incorporated in a machine used under severe conditions such as a construction machine and a civil engineering machine and is movable.
[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a working machine used for construction work and civil engineering work, for example, a hydraulic excavator 100, as shown in FIG. 4, has a tracked lower traveling body 101, and the lower traveling body 101 is connected to the lower traveling body 101 via a turning mechanism 102. The upper revolving unit 103 is provided with a boom 106, an arm 107 and a bucket 108 which are respectively operated by hydraulic cylinders. A driving machine (engine), not shown, and a counterweight 109 are mounted on the upper swing body 103.
[0003]
During work, the boom 106 of the working machine in the hydraulic excavator 100 raises the bucket 108 attached to, for example, the tip of the arm 107 as close to the upper revolving structure 103 as possible in an upward posture and at a high position. Since the operation of loading the dump truck with earth and sand is performed, the operation at the maximum working radius and the operation of pulling the bucket 108 to the minimum working radius can be easily performed, and the vehicle height can be reduced during transportation. For this reason, the outer shape is formed in a U-shape (boomerang shape). As described above, the outer shape of the boom 106 is determined by the function at the time of operation and the convenience at the time of transportation, and the cross-sectional shape of the boom 106 is changed from a box shape to a structure that is easy to manufacture and increases the strength. It has a mold shape (box structure).
[0004]
Such a boom 106 is subjected to a large load in the vertical direction in order to penetrate the bucket 108 into the earth and sand during excavation, and is swung together with the upper rotating body 103 to load the penetrated and scooped earth and sand into a dump truck or the like. Therefore, a left-right load acts. Naturally, a torsional load acts in addition to these loads. In order to withstand such a load, the height is made higher than the width, and the inner part is formed near the boss which is the connection with the boom cylinder for operating the boom up and down. The structure is such that a cross-section restricting material such as a partition material or a pipe material that reinforces the boss portion is provided so as to traverse the boss portion.
[0005]
However, the components of a long working machine such as a boom with the above-mentioned structure can increase its rigidity and improve durability, but increase its own weight and require a large counterweight in conjunction with this. And In other words, there has been a problem that the weight of the vehicle cannot be reduced. Therefore, for the purpose of reducing the weight and size of the working machine, the boom of the working machine in the above-mentioned hydraulic shovel has been attempted to reduce the weight with a more rational structure than the conventional box structure. It has been proposed by the applicant's prior application (Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-399403). As shown in FIG. 5, the boom 50 is formed by bending upper and lower members 51, 52 at both ends 51a, 51a (52a, 52a) in the width direction by using a required plate material, and has a flat cross section. As a U-shaped member, both edge bent portions (both ends) are arranged so as to face each other up and down, and the edges of the edge bent portions are welded so as to be joined by the side plates 53, 53. The corner portion A has a round box structure, and a vertical partition plate (vertical rib) 55 for suppressing deformation due to stress on the center portion of the boom 50 is provided. ) Can reduce the weight without reducing the strength. Note that reference numeral 57 in the drawing denotes a connection boss portion with the actuator.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
It has been found that the boom 50 of the working machine having the configuration proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-399403 causes a problem that was not predicted by the subsequent research. That is, at the central portion of the boom 50, a substantially central line is provided between horizontal partition plates (partition plates 56) provided at a required distance in the front and rear from a connection boss portion forming portion (B in FIG. 4) with the boom cylinder. In this structure, longitudinal ribs 55 are provided, and they are welded and integrated with upper and lower members 51, 52 having both end edges 51a, 52a bent. For this reason, when a large load is applied, the vertical rib 55 can maintain its attached state. However, in a position near the horizontal partition plate located on the base side, the vertical rib 55 is a flat surface portion of both upper and lower members, and is indicated by a two-dot chain line a in FIG. As a result, the space between the joint portion with the vertical rib 55 and the side plates bulges outward (shown exaggeratedly so that the phenomenon can be understood). A phenomenon occurs in which the member 53 is deformed in a state of being drawn inward (indicated by a two-dot chain line b).
[0007]
The occurrence of such a deformation phenomenon is caused by disposing the vertical rib 55 between the round upper surface member 51 and the lower surface member 52 in which the corner portion A in the cross-sectional shape is formed by bending a plate material, and the end portions of both edges 51a, 52a. The side plate 53 is welded at the time of excavation, so that at the time of excavation, a tensile stress is generated between the welding portion between the vertical rib 55 and the upper and lower surface members 51 and 52 and the corner portion A, and the corner portion A bulges. It is presumed that the tensile stress is generated when the value is kept, and the left and right side plates 53 are drawn inward with the tensile stress, so that the intended purpose cannot be sufficiently achieved.
[0008]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and has an operation of providing a long box-shaped structure having a structure capable of preventing a local high stress portion from being generated during weight reduction. The purpose is to provide a machine.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems and Functions / Effects]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the working machine according to the present invention comprises:
The flange portion is formed by using at least one of the upper and lower mold steel members having a flange portion having a thick corner portion at both ends in the width direction and a protruding ridge portion substantially at the center between the two flange portions. (1st invention).
[0010]
ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the stress by processing is reduced by using the material (type steel material) which increased the board thickness only in the joint part with the combination member which becomes the part where high stress occurs in the structural member constituted. In addition, it is possible to reduce the weight of the entire long structure and to provide a working machine with a truly high strength and a reduced weight.
[0011]
In the above invention, it is preferable that the long structure having a box cross-sectional structure is formed by using the above-mentioned mold steel members opposed to each other on the upper and lower sides thereof and joining side plates to the flange portions on both sides facing each other (second invention). ). In this way, a material having a thicker corner can be used as a longitudinal member as it is. It is possible to obtain a thin and lightweight long structure.
[0012]
In the above invention, the long structure is a boom, and a mounting boss portion of the movable end of the undulating actuator is provided at a central portion thereof, and a predetermined distance is provided in the longitudinal direction from the mounting boss portion position to the inside thereof. It is preferable that the partition plate is provided, and a vertical rib provided between the partition plates along the central axis of the boom is welded to the protruding ridge of the mold steel (third invention). . In this way, for example, as a boom in a working machine of a hydraulic shovel, even if local high stress occurs locally in the central portion due to a high load, the original shape of the material is maintained and the vertical thickness is increased without increasing the overall plate thickness. The stress at the joint between the rib and the upper and lower plates can be reduced, and a high-strength, lightweight working machine can be realized.
[0013]
Further, in the third invention, an assembling portion of a connecting boss portion with an actuator for raising and lowering provided on a center side plate of the boom is provided with a watermark hole in the side plate that allows the vertical rib to be welded inside a box structure, It is preferable that the connection boss is welded and fixed at a predetermined position via a cover plate piece fixed to cover the watermark hole (a fourth invention). By doing so, an opening (opening hole) capable of facilitating welding of the vertical rib attached to the inside of the boom of the box structure is secured, and a connecting boss is attached to a cover plate piece covering the opening, and connected by a jig. If the opening portion is fixedly covered with the cover plate after the positioning of the boss, an effect that an accurate product can be manufactured without difficulty can be obtained.
[0014]

A so-called round corner is formed in which a protruding ridge portion 11c is formed, and the corner portions 11d of the side edge portions 11b, 11b are rolled and formed into a shape having an outward curved surface with a greater thickness than other portions. Rolled steel is used.
[0018]

The connecting boss 15 provided at the center of the boom 10 has boss parts 15a, 15a having shaft holes for supporting a connecting shaft at both ends of a pipe member 15b having a required diameter, and the boss parts 15 are mounted coaxially. 15a is provided with a flange portion 15c for joining with a cover plate piece 19 covering the watermark hole 18. The coupling relationship between the boss piece 15a, the cover plate piece 19 and the watermark hole 18 of the side plate 13 is such that a cover plate piece 19 having an outer shape substantially matching the shape of the watermark hole 18 is prepared. The boss piece 15a is attached to one of the cover plate pieces 19 by using the prepared boss piece 15a so that the outer shape of the flange portion 15c of the boss piece 15a substantially matches the mounting hole 19a of the boss piece 15a provided in the boss piece 15a. Through the hole 17a provided in the vertical rib 17 from the mounting hole 19a provided on the other side to reach the mounting hole 19a of the other cover plate piece 19, and use a jig so that the axial hole of the boss portion piece 15a is at a predetermined dimensional position. Thereafter, the flange portion 15c and the cover plate piece 19, and the cover plate piece 19 and the peripheral portion of the open hole 18 of the side plate 13 are welded to be integrated. Since the welds are formed with holes by precision fusing in advance, they can be finished without significant displacement.
