Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、原動機からオーガまでの間の動力伝達経路に過負荷が作用するのを簡単な構成で防止する除雪機の過負荷防止装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
除雪機としては、例えば、実公昭51−34111号公報「除雪機」が知られている。
上記公報の第1図には、エンジン10(符号は同公報に使用の符号を流用した)の出力軸にプーリー11を取付け、このプーリー11とプーリー9とにベルト12を掛け渡し、プーリー9から前方に回転伝達軸5を延ばし、この回転伝達軸5の前部にギヤケースを介してオーガ回転軸2を連結し、このオーガ回転軸2にオーガ4を取付けた除雪機が記載されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
例えば、除雪作業中に、オーガ4が氷塊や石等を噛み込んでオーガ4の回転が阻止され、エンジン10からオーガ4までの間の動力伝達経路に過負荷が作用することがある。このような過負荷を除去することが望ましいが、過負荷を除去するために複雑な装置を用いれば、製造コストの上昇を招く。
【0004】
そこで、本発明の目的は、除雪機において、原動機からオーガまでの間の動力伝達経路に過負荷が作用するのを簡単な構成で防止することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために請求項1は、原動機からの動力をオーガミッションを介してオーガ軸に伝達する際に、原動機からオーガ軸に至る動力伝達経路に過負荷が作用するのを防止する除雪機の過負荷防止装置において、オーガミッションの入力軸に設けたウォームに噛み合うウォームホイールと、このウォームホイールに嵌合させることで所定のトルク範囲では一体的に回転させるとともに所定のトルクを超えると相対的に回転させ、且つオーガ軸に一体的に取付けた円筒部材と、この円筒部材に対して回転角を規制するとともにウォームホイールに隣接させ、且つウォームホイールの側面に設けたホイール側凸部に臨む円板側突起を設けた円板と、ウォームホイールの円筒部材に対する相対回転により円板側突起がホイール側凸部に乗り上げたときに円板が側方へ移動するのを検知する検知手段と、この検知手段からの情報に基づき原動機を強制的に停止させる停止手段と、ウォームホイールに円板を押付ける弾発部材とからなり、円板の外周に外周突起を設け、オーガミッションのケースに係止部材を設け、この係止部材に外周突起を当てることでケースに対する円板の回転を規制したことを特徴とする。
【0006】
オーガ軸に所定値を越えるトルクが発生した場合に、ウォームホイールと円筒部材との間に相対回転を発生させ、ウォームホイールのホイール側凸部に円板の円板側突起を乗り上げさせることで、円板を側方に移動させ、この円板の移動を検知手段で検知し、この検知手段からの情報に基づいて原動機を強制的に停止させる。
【0007】
例えば、オーガ軸の過負荷を取除いた状態で原動機を再始動させ、側方に移動した状態の円板の外周突起に係止部材を係止させ、円板の回転を一時止めることでホイール側凸部から円板側突起を外し、円板を前記ウォームホイール側に寄せることで検知手段を初期状態に復帰させる。
すなわち、円板の外周に外周突起を設け、オーガミッションのケースに係止部材を設け、この係止部材に外周突起を当てることでケースに対する円板の回転を規制することができる。この結果、検知手段の復帰を簡易な機構で構成にできるとともに復帰動作の信頼性の向上を図ることができる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を添付図に基づいて以下に説明する。なお、図面は符号の向きに見るものとする。
図1は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置を備えた除雪機の側面図であり、除雪機10は、機体フレーム11にクローラ12を回転自在に取付け、機体フレーム11からハンドル13を後斜め上方へ延ばし、このハンドル13の端部にグリップ14を取付け、機体フレーム11に原動機としてのエンジン15を載せ、このエンジン15で回す駆動軸16を機体フレーム11前方(図の左側)へ延ばし、この駆動軸16に過負荷防止装置(詳細は後述する。)を組込んだオーガミッション18を接続するとともに駆動軸16にブロア21を取付け、オーガミッション18のオーガ軸22にオーガ23を取付けることで、エンジン15で駆動軸16を廻し、駆動軸16でブロア21を廻すとともにこのブロア21の前方に配置したオーガ23をオーガミッション18を介して廻し、オーガ23で寄せた雪をブロア21で掻き揚げ、シュータ24を介して遠方へ投射するものである。
【0009】
上記した駆動軸16とオーガミッション18とは、エンジン15の動力をオーガ23に伝達するための「動力伝達装置」である。
動力伝達装置の要部であるオーガミッション18の詳細を以下に説明する。
【0010】
図2は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置を組込んだオーガミッションの分解斜視図であり、オーガミッション18は、ウォーム減速機であり、ケース本体31及びケースカバー32で構成するケースとしてのミッションケース33と、このミッションケース33にベアリング34,35を介して回転自在に取付けるとともに駆動軸16(図1参照)に連結した入力軸36と、この入力軸36に形成したウォーム37と、このウォーム37に噛み合うウォームホイール38と、このウォームホイール38の内周に嵌合させた円筒状の円筒部材としてのボス部41と、このボス部41に設けた雌スプライン42に雄スプライン43をスプライン結合させるオーガ軸22と、ウォームホイール38に隣接させた円板としてのスライドワッシャ45と、このスライドワッシャ45をウォームホイール38に押付ける弾発部材としての波板ばね46と、この波板ばね46の外側に配置した第1ワッシャ47と、ボス部41の外側に配置した第2ワッシャ48と、オーガ軸22を支えるためにケース本体31に取付けるベアリング51,52と、前述のスライドワッシャ45の側方への移動を検知する検知手段としてのワッシャ検知スイッチ53と、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53のON情報によりエンジン15を停止させる停止手段57を備えた制御部58と、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53を初期状態(OFF状態)に復帰させるためにスライドワッシャ45を一時的止める係止部材59と、からなる。
【0011】
なお、54はケース本体に形成することで係止部材59を捩じ込むめねじ、55はミッションケース33内にオイルを注入する注入孔を塞ぐボルト、56・・・(・・・は複数個を示す。以下同様。図では1個のみ示す。)はケース本体31とケースカバー32とを結合するボルトである。
【0012】
上記したウォームホイール38、ボス部41、スライドワッシャ45、波板ばね46、第1ワッシャ47、第2ワッシャ48及びワッシャ検知スイッチ53、停止手段57及び係止部材59で、過負荷防止装置60を構成するものである。
【0013】
図3は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置のウォームホイールの斜視図であり、ウォームホイール38にボス部41(図2参照)に嵌合させるための嵌合穴61を開け、ウォームホイール38の側面で且つ嵌合穴61の周縁部に環状溝62を形成し、この環状溝62の溝底部63に山形状のホイール側凸部64・・・を形成したことを示す。
【0014】
図4は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置のスライドワッシャの斜視図であり、スライドワッシャ45は、表面(一方の)面66にウォームホイール38(図3参照)側に起こした円板側突起67・・・を備え、外周にケース本体31側の係合部材54(図3参照)に係合させる外周突起69を備え、内周面から突出させた内周凸部88を備える。
なお、円板側突起67・・・は、白抜き矢印に示すように先端をオーガ軸22(図1参照)の正転方向に指向させたものである。
【0015】
図5(a),(b)は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置の波板ばねの説明図であり、(a)は正面図であり、円環状とした弾性体としての波板ばね46を示す。
(b)は(a)のb矢視図であり、薄板に波状の曲げ加工を施してなる波板ばね46を示す。
即ち、(a)において、波板ばね46は、部位Aを紙面の手前側に凸状になるように曲げ、部位Bを紙面の奥側に凸状になるように周方向に波立つように曲げたものである。
【0016】
図6は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置を備えたオーガミッションの第1断面図であり、オーガ軸22に沿う断面図である。
ウォームホイール38は、ボス部41に圧入することで、通常トルクを伝達する限りではボス部41と一体的に回転し、オーガ軸22に所定のトルクを超えるときに(過剰トルクが作用したときに)ボス部41に対してウォームホイール38が相対的に自由回転する、若しくはウォームホイール38に対してボス部41が相対的に自由回転するものである。
【0017】
好ましくは、過負荷防止装置60を構成するウォームホイール38の接触面73とボス部41の接触面74とに浸硫処理を施す。
この浸硫処理は、鉄系材料(炭素鋼、鋳鉄、鋳鋼、ステンレス鋼など)の表面層に遊離硫黄を拡散させる金属表面処理の一法である。遊離硫黄は潤滑性に富むので相対する接触面にスリップによる滑りが発生したときに、摩耗の発生を抑えることができ、結果的に耐摩耗性を高めることができるというものである。
また、ウォームホイール38の接触面73とボス部41の接触面74とに、浸硫処理に限らず、浸炭処理を施すか又は浸炭処理と浸硫処理とを組合わせて施してもよい。
【0018】
本発明の波板ばね46は、円環状の薄板に波状の曲げ加工を施したものであり、例えば、コイルばね等を用いるのに比べて、ばねを収納するスペースを小さくすることができ、オーガミッション18を小型にすることができる。
第2ワッシャ48は、ウォームホイール38及びボス部41からのスラスト荷重を受け止めるために肉厚を大きくしたものである。
【0019】
ワッシャ検知スイッチ53は、ケース本体31に捩じ込んで取付けたものであり、先端に、スライドワッシャ45が側方(図の左方)に移動したことを検知するための可動子76を備える。この可動子76が左方に所定距離以上ストロークすれば、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53はON状態になり、このON情報を制御部58に伝える。
【0020】
停止手段57は、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53のON情報によりエンジン15(図1参照)の点火経路を遮断するリレーなどを用いればよい。
制御部58は、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53のON情報により停止手段57でエンジン15を停止後、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53の状態がON状態のままで、エンジン15を再始動することのできる再始動機能を備える。
【0021】
係止部材59は、ケース本体31に取付けることで、スライドワッシャ45の外周突起69(図4参照)に係合させることで、スライドワッシャ45をウォームホイール38側に戻すことで、ワッシャ検出スイッチ53を初期状態(OFF状態)に復帰させるための部材である。
ここで、82,83はオイルシール、84はベアリング52の抜け止めのためのリング、85はキャップである。
【0022】
図7は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置を備えたオーガミッションの第2断面図(入力軸に沿う断面図)であり、ボス部41の外周面に切欠き部87を設け、この切欠き部87に、スライドワッシャ45の内周面から突出させた内周凸部88を配置することで、ボス部41に対してスライドワッシャ45の回転角度を角度αに規制したことを示す。
この図で、スライドワッシャ45は、ウォームホイール38の奥側に配置したものであるが、便宜上、各部を実線で描いた。
【0023】
以上説明したように、本発明に係る除雪機の過負荷防止装置60は、図1に示すエンジン15(原動機)からの動力をオーガミッション18を介してオーガ軸22に伝達する際に、エンジン15(原動機)からオーガ軸22に至る動力伝達経路に過負荷が作用するのを防止する除雪機の過負荷防止装置において、オーガミッション18の入力軸36(図2参照)に設けたウォーム37に噛み合うウォームホイール38と、このウォームホイール38に嵌合させることで所定のトルク範囲では一体的に回転させるとともに所定のトルクを超えると相対的に回転させ、且つオーガ軸22に一体的に取付けたボス部41(円筒部材)と、このボス部41に対して回転角を規制するとともにウォームホイール38に隣接させ、且つウォームホイール38の側面に設けたホイール側凸部64・・・(図3参照)に臨む円板側突起67・・・(本図では1個のみ示す)を設けたスライドワッシャ45(円板)と、ウォームホイール38のボス部41(円筒部材)に対する相対回転により円板側突起67・・・がホイール側凸部64・・・に乗り上げたときにスライドワッシャ45(円板)が側方へ移動するのを検知するワッシャ検知スイッチ53(検知手段)と、このワッシャ検知スイッチ53からの情報に基づきエンジン15(原動機)を強制的に停止させる停止手段57と、ウォームホイール38にスライドワッシャ45(円板)を押付ける波板ばね46(弾発部材)とからなり、スライドワッシャ45(円板)の外周に外周突起69を設け、オーガミッション18のミッションケース33(ケース)に係止部材59を設け、この係止部材59に外周突起69を当てることでミッションケース33(ケース)に対するスライドワッシャ45(円板)の回転を規制したものであると言える。
【0024】
オーガ軸22に所定値を越えるトルクが発生した場合に、ウォームホイール38とボス部41(円筒部材)とを滑らせて相対回転を発生させ、ウォームホイール38のホイール側凸部64・・・(図3参照)にスライドワッシャ45(円板)の円板側突起67・・・を乗り上げさせることで、スライドワッシャ45(円板)を側方に移動させ、このスライドワッシャ45(円板)の移動をワッシャ検知スイッチ53(検知手段)で検知し、このワッシャ検知スイッチ53からの情報に基づいて図1に示すエンジン15(原動機)の運転を強制的に停止させる。
【0025】
例えば、オーガ軸22の過負荷を取除いた状態で図1に示すエンジン15(原動機)を再始動させ、側方に移動した状態のスライドワッシャ45(円板)の外周突起69(図4参照)に係止部材59を係止させ、スライドワッシャ45(円板)の回転を一時止めることでホイール側凸部64・・・(図3参照)から円板側突起67・・・を外し、スライドワッシャ45(円板)をウォームホイール38側に寄せることでワッシャ検知スイッチ53(検知手段)を初期状態(OFF状態)に復帰させるようにした。
【0026】
すなわち、スライドワッシャ45(円板)の外周に外周突起69(図4参照)を設け、オーガミッション18のミッションケース33(ケース)に係止部材59を設け、この係止部材59に外周突起69を当てることでミッションケース33(ケース)に対するスライドワッシャ45(円板)の回転を規制することで、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53(検知手段)を初期状態(OFF状態)に復帰させることができる。
この結果、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53(検知手段)の復帰を簡易な機構で構成にできるとともに復帰動作の信頼性の向上を図ることができる。
【0027】
次に過負荷防止装置60の作用を説明する。
図8は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置の作用を説明する第1作用図である。
例えば、除雪機10の矢印aの如く走行させて除雪作業中に、除雪(91は雪)中の除雪機10のオーガ23が、氷塊や石をかみ込んだり、図に示すように路面92の突出部分93に当たると、矢印bのよう回転中のオーガ23の回転が妨げられ、オーガ23自体やエンジン15からオーガ23までの動力伝達経路に作用する負荷が過大になる。
【0028】
図9(a)〜(c)は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置の作用を説明する第2作用図であり、各図の右側は、ウォームホイール38、ボス部41及びスライドワッシャ45の側面図(左方が除雪機の前方になる。)であり、各図の左側は、右側の図のD−D線断面図に相当するものであり、ケース本体31、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53、スライドワッシャ45及びウォームホイール38を示す。
例えば、図8に示した状態でオーガ23の回転が停止したとすると、(a)において、オーガミッション18(図2参照)内のボス部41はロック状態になる。
【0029】
このとき、除雪機10(図1参照)のエンジン15は運転を続けようとするため、エンジン15の動力は、駆動軸16(図1参照)、オーガミッション18(図2参照)の入力軸36を介してウォームホイール38に伝わるため、ロック状態にあるボス部41に対してウォームホイール38は相対的な回転(すべり)を開始する。(右側の図ではウォームホイール38は矢印a1のように反時計回りに回転し、左側の図では、ウォームホイール38は矢印a2のように上方に移動する。また、スライドワッシャ45も、ウォームホイール38と矢印a3の如く同方向に連れ回り、左側の図では矢印a4の如く移動する。)
【0030】
(b)において、ウォームホイール38がb1の如く回転し、スライドワッシャ45がb2の如く連れ回ることで、ウォームホイール38のホイール側凸部64は、スライドワッシャ45の円板側突起67に当たる。
(c)において、更にウォームホイール38がc1の如く回転すると、矢印c2の如くホイール側凸部64に円板側突起67が乗り上げ始め、スライドワッシャ45は波板ばねの弾性力に抗して側方、即ち図の左方に移動し始める。この結果、スライドワッシャ45は、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53の可動子76に当たる。
【0031】
図10(a)〜(c)は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置の作用を説明する第3作用図であり、各図の構成は図9と同様である。
(a)において、更にウォームホイール38が矢印a5の如く回転すると、ホイール側凸部64に対する円板側突起67の乗り上げ量が大きくなり、スライドワッシャ45は上記したホイール側凸部64への円板側突起67の乗り上げ量の増加に伴い、更に矢印a6の如く側方に移動する。
この結果、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53の可動子76は距離Sだけストロークすることで、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53はON状態になり、制御部58(図7参照)の停止手段57でエンジン15(図1参照)停止させる。
【0032】
(b)において、オーガ軸22の過負荷を取除いた状態で、エンジン15(図1参照)を再始動させ、ウォームホイール38を矢印b3の如く正転させる。ウォームホイール38の回転させることでスライドワッシャ45及びボス部41矢印b4,b5の如くも同方向に回転させ、側方に移動した状態のスライドワッシャ45の外周突起69が係止部材59に当たるまで回転させる。
【0033】
(c)において、スライドワッシャ45の回転を係止部材59で一時止め、ウォームホイール38及びスライドワッシャ45を矢印c3,c4の如く回転させることでホイール側凸部64・・・から円板側突起67・・・を外し、波板ばね46(図2参照)の弾発作用でスライドワッシャ45を矢印c5の如くウォームホイール38側に戻し、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53を初期状態(OFF状態)に復帰させる。
【0034】
すなわち、スライドワッシャ45は、波板ばね46(図2参照)の弾発力によって側方、即ち矢印のように右方へ移動し、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53の可動子76は、元の位置までストロークし、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53は初期状態(OFF状態)に復帰させることができる。
【0035】
すなわち、スライドワッシャ45の外周に外周突起69(図4参照)を設け、オーガミッション18のミッションケース33に係止部材59を設け、この係止部材59に外周突起69を当てることでミッションケース33に対するスライドワッシャ45の回転を規制することで、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53を初期状態(OFF状態)に復帰させることができる。この結果、ワッシャ検知スイッチ53の復帰を簡易な機構で構成にできるとともに復帰動作の信頼性の向上を図ることができる。
【0036】
図11は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置の円板及び弾発部材の別実施例の斜視図であり、円板としてのスライドワッシャ101は、リング状の本体部102に板ばね部103・・・を形成し、本体部102に円板側突起104・・・を形成し、
本体部102の外周に外周突起105を形成し、本体部102の内周に内周凸部106を形成したものであって、ステンレスやりん青銅などのばね材で形成することで、図2に示すしたスライドワッシャ45及び波板ばね46を一体化したものと言える。
【0037】
スライドワッシャ45及び波板ばね46を一体化することで、過負荷防止装置60(図7参照)の部品点数の削減を図ることができる。これをもって、過負荷防止装置60のコストの低減及び組立作業の作業性の改善を図ることができる。
【0038】
図12は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置の係止部材の別実施例の正面断面図であり、係止部材111は、ねじ部本体112に筒部113を形成し、この筒部113に圧縮ばね114、係止ピン115の順に挿入し、筒部113の入口116をかしめることで係止ピン115をねじ部本体112に対して出没可能に取付けたものである。
例えば、係止部材111とスライドワッシャ101(図12参照)との位相の関係で、係止ピン115を押圧する方向に外周突起105(図12参照)が当たった場合にも、係止ピン115がねじ部本体112内に引っ込むことができるので、係止部材111に外周突起105が干渉することを防止できる。
【0039】
図13は本発明に係る過負荷防止装置の係止部材のさらなる別実施例の正面断面図であり、係止部材121は、ケース本体122に貫通孔123及び凹部124を形成し、この凹部124に係止ピン125を挿入するとともに係止ピン125の先端部126を貫通させ、凹部124に圧縮ばね127を挿入し、凹部124に形成しためねじ部128に蓋部材129を捩じ込み、係止ピン125及び圧縮ばね127を一括して押え込むことで、係止ピン125をケース本体122に出没可能に取付けたものである。
【0040】
尚、実施の形態では図2に示すように、スライドワッシャ45(円板)、波板ばね46(弾発部材)を2部品で構成し、図11ではスライドワッシャ(円板)に弾発部材機能を持たすことで1部品で構成した例を示したが、円板及び弾発部材を2部品で構成するか又は1部品で構成するかは任意である。
【0041】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上記構成により次の効果を発揮する。
オーガ軸に所定値を越えるトルクが発生した場合に、ウォームホイールと円筒部材との間に相対回転を発生させ、ウォームホイールのホイール側凸部に円板の円板側突起を乗り上げさせることで、円板を側方に移動させ、この円板の移動を検知手段で検知し、この検知手段からの情報に基づいて原動機を強制的に停止させる。
請求項1では、検知手段を復帰させるために、円板の外周に外周突起を設け、オーガミッションのケースに係止部材を設けたので、例えば、原動機を再始動させたときに、側方に移動した状態の円板の外周突起に係止させ、ケースに対する円板の回転を規制することでホイール側凸部から円板側突起を外し、円板をウォームホイール側に寄せることで検知手段を初期状態に復帰させることができる。この結果、検知手段の復帰を簡易な機構で構成にできるとともに復帰動作の信頼性の向上を図ることができる。

The present invention relates to an overload prevention device for a snowplow that prevents an overload from acting on a power transmission path from a prime mover to an auger with a simple configuration.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a snowplow, for example, “Snowplow” disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-34111 is known.
