【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ダンプカーの荷箱昇降用油圧切換弁・PTO連動装置,特にパワーユニットと油圧ポンプとの間に介装されてその間を断接可能な動力取出装置と,荷箱を昇降させるための油圧シリンダと,この油圧シリンダと油圧ポンプ・油タンクとの間に介装される油圧切換弁とを備え,その油圧切換弁が,油圧ポンプからの作動油を油圧シリンダに供給して荷箱を上昇させる上げ位置と,油圧シリンダから油タンクへの作動油の戻りを阻止して荷箱を任意の傾動位置に停止させる中立位置と,油圧シリンダから油タンクへの作動油の戻りを許容して荷箱を下降させる下げ位置との間を選択的に移動操作可能な可動弁体を有し,動力取出装置は,これを接続状態と遮断状態とに切換える切換操作部材を有すると共に,この切換操作部材に可動弁体を連動連結させており,その可動弁体が上げ位置にあるときに動力取出装置が接続状態に置かれるようにした構造の油圧切換弁・PTO連動装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
上記構造の荷箱昇降用油圧切換弁・PTO連動装置は,従来公知(例えば実公平2−41362号公報等を参照)である。
【0003】
従来装置においては,図5に例示したように動力取出装置PTOが遮断状態から接続状態へ切換わる切換時期a′,即ち動力取出装置の駆動側要素及び被動側要素にそれぞれ設けた駆動歯及び被動歯相互が噛合し始める噛合開始時期が,油圧切換弁の可動弁体の下げ位置Dから中立位置Nへの切換移動過程の途中で来るように設定されていた。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが上記従来装置のように可動弁体が下げ位置から中立位置へ向かって切換移動する途中(即ち下げ位置と中立位置の中間位置)で動力取出装置が遮断状態から接続状態へ切換わる構成では,荷箱の下降動作中に,可動弁体を下げ位置より中立位置に切換え操作して荷箱を非常停止させようとする場合に,次のような問題がある。
【0005】
例えば,パワーユニットの高速回転状態においては,動力取出装置の駆動歯及び被動歯の相対回転速度が高過ぎてそれらがうまく噛合できないため,動力取出装置を遮断状態より接続状態にスムーズに切換えることができない。従ってそのパワーユニットの高速回転時に動力取出装置の切換操作部材と連動関係にある油圧切換弁の可動弁体を下げ位置より中立位置に切換移動させようとしても,動力取出装置の上記切換不調に起因して可動弁体がストロークの途中(即ち下げ位置と中立位置の中間)で止まってしまい,正規の中立位置に完全に切換えることが困難となる。このような場合には,パワーユニット内のクラッチを一旦切ることで動力取出装置を接続状態に切換えて可動弁体を切換操作することが可能となるが,その一連の操作は煩雑であって迅速性,確実性を欠くものである。従って荷箱の下降動作を即座に停止させるべき非常時において迅速的確な対応をとり得ない虞れがある。
【0006】
またパワーユニットの停止中においては,動力取出装置の駆動歯及び被動歯がそれらの停止位置によっては相互の噛み合せがうまくいかないために,動力取出装置が接続状態に切換わらないことがある。このとき,動力取出装置の切換操作部材と連動関係にある油圧切換弁の可動弁体を下げ位置より中立位置に切換移動させようとしても,動力取出装置の上記切換不調に起因して可動弁体がストロークの途中で止まってしまい,正規の中立位置まで完全に切換えることが困難となる。従って,この場合も,上記クラッチを切ったり或いはパワーユニットを始動したりすることにより動力取出装置を接続状態に切換えて可動弁体を切換操作する必要があり,これまた上記高速回転中と同様の問題がある。
【0007】
本発明は、斯かる事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、上記従来装置の問題を簡単な構造で解決することができる、ダンプカーの荷箱昇降用油圧切換弁・PTO連動装置を提供することを目的としている。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明は、パワーユニットと油圧ポンプとの間に介装されてその間を断接可能な動力取出装置と,荷箱を昇降させるための油圧シリンダと,この油圧シリンダと油圧ポンプ・油タンクとの間に介装される油圧切換弁とを備え,その油圧切換弁が,油圧ポンプからの作動油を油圧シリンダに供給して荷箱を上昇させる上げ位置と,油圧シリンダから油タンクへの作動油の戻りを阻止して荷箱を任意の傾動位置に停止させる中立位置と,油圧シリンダから油タンクへの作動油の戻りを許容して荷箱を下降させる下げ位置との間を選択的に移動操作可能な可動弁体を有し,動力取出装置は,これを接続状態と遮断状態とに切換える切換操作部材を有すると共に,この切換操作部材に可動弁体を連動連結させており,その可動弁体が上げ位置にあるときに動力取出装置が接続状態に置かれるようにした,ダンプカーの荷箱昇降用油圧切換弁・PTO連動装置において,動力取出装置が遮断状態から接続状態へ切換わる切換時期が,可動弁体の下げ位置から中立位置への切換移動時期と重ならないように設定されることを特徴とする。
【0009】
上記特徴によれば、可動弁体の下げ位置から中立位置への切換移動の途中では動力取出装置が遮断状態から接続状態へ切換わらないようにしたから,油圧切換弁の可動弁体が動力取出装置の切換操作部材と機械的に連動連結されていても,可動弁体を下げ位置から中立位置まで,動力取出装置の切換不調の影響を受けることなく一気に切換操作することができる。そのため,荷箱をその下降動作中に非常停止させようとする場合でも,動力取出装置に影響されずに可動弁体を下げ位置より中立位置まで迅速確実に切換えて,荷箱の下降動作を即座に停止させることができる。
【0010】
また請求項2の発明は、請求項1の発明の前記特徴に加えて、前記可動弁体が,下げ位置を間に挟んで中立位置と反対側に設定した待機位置に移動操作可能であると共に,その待機位置ないし下げ位置の全区間に亘って,油圧シリンダから油タンクへの作動油の戻りを許容して荷箱を下降可能とするように構成されており,その可動弁体が前記待機位置にあるときに動力取出装置が遮断状態に置かれ,しかも同弁体が前記待機位置から下げ位置に向けて移動する途中で前記切換時期が来るように設定されたことを特徴としている。
【0011】
この特徴によれば、可動弁体が下げ位置・中立位置・上げ位置の三位置間で切換操作される間は,動力取出装置の断接切換えが行われず,該装置を遮断状態から接続状態に切換えるための面倒なクラッチ操作を一切行う必要がないから,それだけ荷箱のダンプ操作が簡便となる。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を、添付図面に例示した本発明の実施例に基づいて以下に具体的に説明する。
【0013】
添付図面において、図1〜図3は、本発明装置の第1実施例を示すものであって,特に図1は要部縦断全体図,図2は,各操作位置での動力取出装置・油圧切換弁の関係構成を示す拡大断面図,図3は,可動弁体のストロークと動力取出装置・油圧切換弁の各切換態様との関係説明図である。また図4は,第2実施例における可動弁体のストロークと動力取出装置・油圧切換弁の各切換態様との関係説明図であり,また図5は,従来例における可動弁体のストロークと動力取出装置・油圧切換弁の各切換態様との関係説明図である。
【0014】
先ず,図1において,ダンプカーの車体F上に搭載される荷箱1は,該車体Fに傾動可能に軸支2されており,その荷箱1と車体Fとの間には,荷箱1を昇降させる油圧シリンダCyが介装される。而して荷箱1は,油圧シリンダCyの伸長により上昇側に揺動し,また収縮により下降側に揺動する。
【0015】
また車体Fに搭載される走行用のパワーユニットPUは,従来周知のようにエンジンと,そのエンジンにクラッチを介して連動する変速機とを含み,その変速機の出力側には,駆動車輪に連なる伝動系が接続される。またパワーユニットPには,クラッチの出力側においてエンジンの動力を随時に取り出して油圧ポンプPを駆動するための動力取出装置PTOが付設される。
【0016】
前記油圧ポンプPは,その吸込側が油タンクTに接続され,またその吐出側が出力油路3を介して油圧シリンダCyのピストン側の基部油室Caに接続される。またその油圧シリンダCyのピストンロッド側の先部油室Cbは,戻し油路4を介して油タンクTに接続される。
【0017】
油圧シリンダCyと油圧ポンプP・油タンクTとの間を結ぶ油路には,油圧切換弁としてのスプールバルブVが介装される。このスプールバルブVは,ハウジング5に形成したバルブ孔5vに可動弁体としてのスプール弁体Sをその軸方向に摺動可能に嵌合して構成され,このスプール弁体Sは,油圧ポンプPからの作動油を油圧シリンダCyの基部油室Caに供給して荷箱1を上昇させるに示す上げ位置U(図2の(d)を参照)と,油圧シリンダCyの基部油室Caから油タンクTへの作動油の戻りを阻止して荷箱1を任意の傾動位置に停止させるに示す中立位置N(図2の(c)を参照)と,油圧シリンダCyの基部油室Caから油タンクTへの作動油の戻りを許容して荷箱1を下降させる下げ位置D(図2の(b)を参照)に示すと,同じく油圧シリンダCyの基部油室Caから油タンクTへの作動油の戻りを許容して荷箱1を下降させる待機位置D′(図1を参照)との間を選択的に移動操作可能である。
【0018】
前記油圧ポンプPは,従来周知のギヤポンプ等より構成されてハウジング5に内蔵される。そのハウジング5には,油圧ポンプPの吸込側及び吐出側にそれぞれ連なる吸込ポート6及び吐出ポート7が形成されており,吸込ポート6は油タンクTに連通し,また吐出ポート7は,バルブ孔5vの内周面に形成した環状溝8に開口している。更にハウジング5には,前記環状溝8を介して吸込ポート6と常時(即ちスプール弁体Sの摺動位置と関係なく)連通する出力ポート9と,同環状溝8に対しその一方側・他方側にそれぞれ偏位した位置でバルブ孔5vに直接開口する排出ポート10・戻りポート11とが形成される。
【0019】
前記出力ポート9は,ハウジング5に内蔵したチェック弁Vcを介して油圧シリンダCyの基部油室Caに連通され,また前記排出ポート10は該チェック弁Vcを迂回して油圧シリンダCyの基部油室Caに常時連通され,更に前記戻りポート11は油タンクTに常時連通される。而して前記吸込ポート6,環状溝8及び出力ポート9は,前記吐出油路3の一部を構成する。また前記チェック弁Vcは,出力ポート9から油圧シリンダCyへの一方向の油の流れのみを許容し,その逆方向の流れを阻止する。
【0020】
前記スプール弁体Sは,その外周面に排出ポート10,出力ポート9及び戻りポート11に跨がる幅広で且つ環状の通油溝gと,その通油溝gを挟んで軸方向に隣接してバルブ孔5vに摺接する第1及び第2ランド部L1,L2とを有している。而してスプール弁体Sが図2の(b)に示す前記下げ位置Dにあるときは,戻りポート11が通油溝gを通して吸込ポート6及び排出ポート10に連通し,従って油圧ポンプPの吐出油が油タンクT側に短絡する一方,油圧シリンダCyの基部油室Ca内の作動油が荷箱1及び積荷の自重に基づき油タンクT側へ還流し同シリンダが収縮動作する。
【0021】
またスプール弁体Sが図2の(c)に示す前記中立位置Nにあるときは,第1ランド部L1が環状溝8(従って出力ポート9及び吐出ポート7)を,該溝8と戻りポート11との連通状態を維持しつつ排出ポート10から遮断する。従って油圧ポンプPの吐出油が油タンクT側に短絡する一方,油圧シリンダCyの基部油室Ca内から油タンクT側への作動油の還流が阻止され同シリンダの動作が停止状態に保たれる。
【0022】
さらにスプール弁体Sが図2の(d)に示す前記上げ位置Uにあるときは,第1ランド部L1が環状溝8(従って出力ポート9及び吐出ポート7)を戻りポート11及び排出ポート10から遮断すると共に,それら戻りポート11及び排出ポート10相互間も遮断している。従って油圧ポンプPの吐出油は油タンクT側へは短絡されずに,油圧シリンダCyの基部油室Caに圧送されて同シリンダを伸長動作させる。
【0023】
前記油圧ポンプPのポンプ軸Pjと,動力取出装置PTOの被動側要素としての動力取出軸15とは,互いに同一軸線上に配列されると共に,それらが一体的に回転するよう相互間が連結されていて,ハウジング5に回転自在に嵌合支持される。その動力取出軸15の外周には,筒状のスライダ16が軸方向摺動可能に且つ相対回転不能にスプライン嵌合17されており,このスライダ16の一端部外周には被動歯としての被動ギヤ18が一体的に設けられる。この被動ギヤ18と噛合し得る駆動歯としての駆動ギヤ19が,ハウジング5に回転自在に支持された駆動側要素としての駆動軸20に一体的に設けられており,その駆動軸20は,前記駆動ギヤ19を介してパワーユニットPUの変速機入力軸又は出力軸に連動連結される。従ってそのパワーユニットPUのエンジンが運転状態にあり且つクラッチが接続状態にあるときには駆動軸20がエンジン出力を受けて回転する。
【0024】
而してスライダ16は,被動ギヤ18が駆動ギヤ19に噛合されない遮断位置(図1参照)と,その遮断位置から所定ストロークだけ摺動して両ギヤ18,19が十分に噛合する接続位置(図2の(c),(d)を参照)との間を往復移動可能である。このスライダ16の外周には環状の係合溝16aが形成されており,この係合溝16aには,スライダ16を駆動制御するためのシフトフォーク21のフォーク状先部21aが係合している。
【0025】
そのシフトフォーク21は,動力取出装置PTOの切換操作部材を構成するものであり,その基部21bは円筒状に形成される。その円筒状基部21bの外周部は,ハウジング5に形成した支持孔5aに摺動可能に嵌合され,またその内周部は,ハウジング5に摺動可能に嵌合支持されたシフト軸22の外周に摺動可能に嵌合される。
【0026】
前記シフト軸22は,図示例ではスプール弁体Sの一端に同軸且つ一体に連設される。このシフト軸22とシフトフォーク21との間には,その間を機械的に連動連結する連動機構Iが介装される。その連動機構Iは,図示例ではシフト軸22の外周に形成された環状の第1係合溝22aと,その係合溝22aに対応してシフトフォーク21の基部21bに形成した係合孔23と,前記支持孔5aに形成される環状の第2係合溝25と,前記係合孔23に嵌合され第1係合溝22a又は第2係合溝25に選択的に係合可能なボール24とより構成される。このボール24は,図1,図2の(a),(b)に示すように第1係合溝22a及び係合孔23に跨がって係合する第1の係合状態ではシフトフォーク21のハウジング5に対する軸方向移動を許容しながらシフト軸21及びシフトフォーク21相互の軸方向相対移動を規制し,また図2の(c),(d)に示すように第2係合溝25及び係合孔23に跨がって係合する第2の係合状態ではシフト軸21及びシフトフォーク21相互の軸方向相対移動を許容しながらシフトフォーク21のハウジング5に対する軸方向移動を規制してスライダ16を前記接続位置に保持する。
【0027】
スプール弁体Sの外端には,それの切換位置を選択的に切換操作するための操作装置Coが連動杆27を介して連結される。この操作装置Coは,スプール弁体Sの前記待機位置D′,下げ位置D,中立位置N及び上げ位置Uにそれぞれ対応する4つの操作位置d′,d,n,uを有する操作レバーLを備えており,この操作レバーLには,これを上記4つの切換位置d′,d,n,uに選択的に保持し得る保持機構(図示せず)が連結される。
【0028】
次に図3も併せて参照して,前記実施例の作用を説明する。
【0029】
車両走行中は,操作レバーLが第1操作位置d′におかれる。このように操作レバーLが第1操作位置d′に在ってスプール弁体Sが待機位置D′にあるときには,図1に示すようにスライダ16は,被動ギヤ18が駆動ギヤ19から離間した遮断位置にあり,従ってエンジン出力は油圧ポンプPには伝達されず,該ポンプPは停止状態におかれる。尚,このような状態でボール24は,第1係合溝22a及び係合孔23に跨がって係合する第1の係合状態にあって,シフトフォーク21のハウジング5に対する軸方向移動を許容しながらシフト軸21及びシフトフォーク21相互の軸方向相対移動を規制する。
【0030】
この状態より操作レバーLを第2操作位置dに向けて操作し,スプール弁体Sが所定ストロークsだけ摺動して下げ位置D手前の第1切換位置X(図2の(a)を参照)に達すると,被動ギヤ18が駆動ギヤ19に対する噛合を開始するようになる。この噛合開始時期が動力取出装置PTOの遮断状態から接続状態への切換時期aに相当し,これ以降は,被動ギヤ18はそれの右動につれて駆動ギヤ19との噛み合い量が漸増し,動力取出装置PTOは不完全接続状態から完全接続状態に近づく。
【0031】
操作レバーLが前記第1切換位置Xを過ぎて第2操作位置dまで操作されたとき,スプール弁体Sは図2の(b)に示す下げ位置Dに達し,この位置で通常の荷箱1の下げ動作が行われる。尚,この位置以降は,スプール弁体Sが中立位置Nに近づくにつれて排出ポート10の開度が漸減し,この状態が不完全下げ状態である。
【0032】
さらに操作レバーLを第3操作位置nに向けて操作し,スプール弁体Sが待機位置D′より起算してストロークAだけ摺動して中立位置N手前の第2切換位置Yまで来ると,被動ギヤ18と駆動ギヤ19とが十分な噛合状態となり,動力取出装置PTOが完全接続状態となる。そのとき,ボール24は,第1係合溝22aより離脱して,第2係合溝25及び係合孔23に跨がって係合する第2の係合状態となるため,シフト軸21及びシフトフォーク21相互の軸方向相対移動を許容しながらシフトフォーク21のハウジング5に対する軸方向移動を規制する。従ってこれ以降は,シフトフォーク21を置き去りにして動力取出装置PTOを完全接続状態に保持しながら,シフト軸22及びスプール弁体Sのみが中立位置N側に摺動する。
【0033】
そして,操作レバーLが第3操作位置nまで操作されたとき,スプール弁体Sは待機位置D′より起算してストロークBだけ摺動した,図2の(c)に示す中立位置Nに到達し,この位置で荷箱1が昇降停止状態に保持される。尚,この位置以降は,スプール弁体Sが上げ位置Uに近づくにつれて環状溝8と戻りポート11間の連通部の有効断面積が漸減し,この状態が不完全上げ状態である。
【0034】
さらに操作レバーLが第4操作位置uまで操作されたとき,スプール弁体Sは中立位置Nより起算してストロークCだけ摺動した,図2の(d)に示す上げ位置Uに到達し,この位置で通常の荷箱1の上げ動作が行われる。
【0035】
かくして,動力取出装置PTO遮断状態から接続状態(図示例では不完全接続状態)へ切換わる切換時期aが,可動弁体としてのスプール弁体Sの下げ位置Dから中立位置Nへの切換移動時期と重ならないように設定され,即ち,該弁体Sの下げ位置Dから中立位置Nへの切換移動の途中では動力取出装置PTOが遮断状態から不完全接続状態へ切換わらないようにしたから,油圧切換弁Vのスプール弁体Sが動力取出装置PTOの切換操作部材であるシフトフォーク21と機械的に連動連結されていても,該弁体Sを下げ位置Dから中立位置Nまで,動力取出装置PTOの切換不調の影響を受けることなく一気に切換操作することができる。そのため,荷箱1をその下降動作中に非常停止させようとする場合でも,動力取出装置PTOに影響されずにスプール弁体Sを下げ位置Dより中立位置Nまで迅速確実に切換えて,荷箱1の下降動作を即座に停止させることができる。
【0036】
また特に本実施例では,スプール弁体Sが,下げ位置Dを間に挟んで中立位置Nと反対側に特別に設定した待機位置D′に移動操作可能であると共に,その待機位置D′ないし下げ位置Dの全区間に亘って,油圧シリンダCyから油タンクTへの作動油の戻りを許容して荷箱1を下降可能とするように構成されている。そしてスプール弁体Sが待機位置D′にあるときに動力取出装置PTOが遮断状態に置かれ,しかも同弁体Sが待機位置D′から下げ位置Dに向けて移動する途中で,動力取出装置PTOの遮断状態から接続状態(図示例で不完全接続状態)への切換時期aが来るように設定されている。このため,スプール弁体Sが下げ位置D・中立位置N・上げ位置Uの三位置間で切換操作される間は,動力取出装置PTOの断接切換えが行われず,該装置を遮断状態から接続状態に切換えるための面倒なクラッチ操作を一切行う必要がないから,それだけ荷箱1のダンプ操作が簡便となる。
【0037】
次に図4を参照して本発明の第2実施例について説明する。この実施例では,動力取出装置PTOが遮断状態から接続状態(図示例で不完全接続状態)へ切換わる切換時期aが,スプール弁体Sの下げ位置Dから中立位置Nへの切換移動時期と重ならないようにするために,その切換時期aをスプール弁体Sの中立位置Nと上げ位置Uとの中間(図示例では中立位置Nを過ぎて直ぐの位置,即ち不完全上げ状態に移行する位置)に設定している。
【0038】
従ってこの実施例では,スプール弁体Sを中立位置Nから上げ位置Uに切換操作する際に,その切換えがスムーズに行えない場合にはパワーユニットPUのクラッチを一旦切るなどして動力取出装置PTOを遮断状態から切断状態へ切換えてから,スプール弁体Sを上げ位置Uまで切換操作するようにする。
【0039】
而してこの実施例においても,第1実施例と基本的に同様の効果を達成することができる。
【0040】
以上本発明の実施例について説明したが、本発明はこの実施例に限定されることなく、本発明の範囲内で種々の実施例が可能である。例えば前記実施例では、油圧ポンプPのポンプ軸Pjと動力取出軸15を一体に形成したが,本発明ではそれらを別々に形成して連動連結するようにしてもよい。また前記実施例では,可動弁体としてのスプール弁体Sとシフト軸とを一体に形成したが,本発明ではそれらを別々に形成して連動連結するようにしてもよい。
【0041】
【発明の効果】
以上のように請求項1の発明によれば、動力取出装置が遮断状態から接続状態へ切換わる切換時期が,油圧切換弁の可動弁体の下げ位置から中立位置への切換移動時期と重ならないようにしたので,その可動弁体が動力取出装置の切換操作部材と機械的に連動連結されていても,可動弁体を下げ位置から中立位置まで動力取出装置の切換不調の影響を受けることなく一気に切換操作することができ,従って荷箱をその下降動作中に非常停止させようとする場合でも,動力取出装置に影響されずに可動弁体を下げ位置より中立位置まで迅速確実に切換えて荷箱を即座に停止させることができ,作業の安全性が向上する。しかも動力取出装置の断接切換時期を上記の如く設定するだけの簡単な構成で上記効果が確実に得られるため,製造コストの節減が図られる。
【0042】
また請求項2の発明によれば,可動弁体が,下げ位置を間に挟んで中立位置と反対側に設定した待機位置に移動操作可能であると共に,その待機位置ないし下げ位置の全区間に亘って,油圧シリンダから油タンクへの作動油の戻りを許容して荷箱を下降可能とするように構成されており,その可動弁体が前記待機位置にあるときに動力取出装置が遮断状態に置かれ,しかも同弁体が前記待機位置から下げ位置に向けて移動する途中で前記切換時期が来るようにしたので,可動弁体が下げ位置・中立位置・上げ位置の三位置間で切換操作される間は,動力取出装置が接続状態の保たれ,同装置を遮断状態から接続状態に切換えるための面倒なクラッチ操作を一々行う必要はないから,それだけ荷箱のダンプ操作が簡便となって作業能率が向上する。

[Prior art]
The hydraulic switching valve for raising / lowering the packing box / PTO interlocking device having the above structure is conventionally known (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-41362).
[0003]
In the conventional apparatus, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the switching timing a ′ when the power take-out device PTO switches from the shut-off state to the connected state, i. The meshing start time at which the teeth start to mesh with each other is set so as to come in the course of the switching movement from the lowered position D of the movable valve body of the hydraulic switching valve to the neutral position N.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the configuration in which the movable valve body is switched from the lowered position to the neutral position (that is, the intermediate position between the lowered position and the neutral position) as in the conventional device, the power take-off device is switched from the shut-off state to the connected state. There are the following problems when attempting to make an emergency stop by switching the movable valve element from the lowered position to the neutral position during the lowering operation of the packing box.
[0005]
For example, in the high-speed rotation state of the power unit, the relative rotation speeds of the drive teeth and the driven teeth of the power take-out device are too high to engage with each other, so that the power take-off device cannot be smoothly switched from the disconnected state to the connected state. . Therefore, even if it is attempted to switch the movable valve body of the hydraulic switching valve that is linked to the switching operation member of the power take-off device during the high-speed rotation of the power unit from the lowered position to the neutral position, the power take-off device is caused by the above switching malfunction. Thus, the movable valve body stops in the middle of the stroke (that is, between the lowered position and the neutral position), and it becomes difficult to completely switch to the normal neutral position. In such a case, once the clutch in the power unit is disengaged, the power take-off device can be switched to the connected state and the movable valve body can be switched, but this series of operations is complicated and quick. , Lack of certainty. Therefore, there is a possibility that a quick and accurate response cannot be taken in an emergency where the lowering operation of the packing box should be stopped immediately.
[0006]
Further, when the power unit is stopped, the power take-out device may not be switched to the connected state because the drive teeth and the driven teeth of the power take-out device cannot be meshed with each other depending on their stop positions. At this time, even if the movable valve body of the hydraulic switching valve that is linked to the switching operation member of the power take-out device is to be switched from the lowered position to the neutral position, the movable valve body is caused by the above switching malfunction of the power take-out device. Stops in the middle of the stroke, making it difficult to completely switch to the normal neutral position. Therefore, in this case as well, it is necessary to switch the movable valve body by switching the power take-off device to the connected state by disengaging the clutch or starting the power unit. There is.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a hydraulic switching valve / PTO interlocking device for lifting and lowering a cargo box of a dump truck that can solve the problems of the conventional device with a simple structure. It is aimed.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a power take-off device that is interposed between a power unit and a hydraulic pump and that can be connected / disconnected between the power unit, a hydraulic cylinder for raising and lowering a cargo box, and the hydraulic cylinder and hydraulic pressure A hydraulic switching valve interposed between the pump and the oil tank. The hydraulic switching valve supplies a hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic cylinder to raise the cargo box, and from the hydraulic cylinder. A neutral position that prevents the return of hydraulic oil to the oil tank and stops the cargo box at an arbitrary tilting position, and a lowered position that allows the hydraulic oil to return from the hydraulic cylinder to the oil tank and lowers the cargo box. The power take-off device has a switching operation member that switches between a connected state and a shut-off state, and a movable valve body is linked to the switching operation member. It is possible In the dump truck's hydraulic valve for lifting / lowering the cargo box / PTO interlocking device, the power take-off device switches from the shut-off state to the connected state so that the power take-out device is placed in the connected state when the valve body is in the raised position. The timing is set so as not to overlap with the switching movement timing of the movable valve body from the lowered position to the neutral position.
[0009]
According to the above feature, since the power take-off device is not switched from the shut-off state to the connected state during the switching movement of the movable valve body from the lowered position to the neutral position, the movable valve body of the hydraulic switching valve is powered off. Even when mechanically linked to the switching operation member of the device, the movable valve body can be switched from the lowered position to the neutral position at a stroke without being affected by the switching failure of the power take-off device. For this reason, even when an emergency stop is attempted during the lowering operation of the cargo box, the movable valve body is quickly and reliably switched from the lowered position to the neutral position without being affected by the power take-off device, and the lowering operation of the cargo box is immediately performed. Can be stopped.
[0010]
According to a second aspect of the invention, in addition to the feature of the first aspect of the invention, the movable valve body can be moved to a standby position set on the opposite side of the neutral position with the lowered position interposed therebetween. , And is configured to allow the return of the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic cylinder to the oil tank over the entire section of the standby position or the lowered position so that the cargo box can be lowered. The power take-off device is placed in a shut-off state when in the position, and the switching time is set so that the valve body moves from the standby position toward the lowered position.
[0011]
According to this feature, while the movable valve body is switched between the three positions of the lowered position, the neutral position, and the raised position, the power take-off device is not switched, and the device is changed from the shut-off state to the connected state. Since it is not necessary to perform any troublesome clutch operation for switching, the dumping operation of the packing box becomes easier.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below based on the embodiments of the present invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
[0013]
In the accompanying drawings, FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the device of the present invention. In particular, FIG. 1 is an overall longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. 2 is a power take-out device and hydraulic pressure at each operation position. FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a related configuration of the switching valve, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the relationship between the stroke of the movable valve body and each switching mode of the power take-out device / hydraulic switching valve. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the stroke of the movable valve body and each switching mode of the power take-out device / hydraulic switching valve in the second embodiment, and FIG. 5 shows the stroke and power of the movable valve body in the conventional example. It is a relation explanatory view with each change mode of an extraction device and a hydraulic change valve.
[0014]
First, in FIG. 1, a cargo box 1 mounted on a vehicle body F of a dump truck is pivotally supported 2 so as to be tiltable to the vehicle body F. Between the cargo box 1 and the vehicle body F, a cargo box 1 A hydraulic cylinder Cy that raises and lowers is interposed. Thus, the packing box 1 swings upward as the hydraulic cylinder Cy extends, and swings downward as the contraction.
[0015]
The traveling power unit PU mounted on the vehicle body F includes an engine and a transmission that is linked to the engine via a clutch, as is well known in the art, and is connected to drive wheels on the output side of the transmission. The transmission system is connected. Further, the power unit P is provided with a power take-out device PTO for taking out the power of the engine at any time and driving the hydraulic pump P on the output side of the clutch.
[0016]
The hydraulic pump P has a suction side connected to the oil tank T, and a discharge side connected to the base oil chamber Ca on the piston side of the hydraulic cylinder Cy via the output oil passage 3. The front oil chamber Cb on the piston rod side of the hydraulic cylinder Cy is connected to the oil tank T via the return oil passage 4.
[0017]
A spool valve V as a hydraulic switching valve is interposed in an oil passage connecting the hydraulic cylinder Cy and the hydraulic pump P / oil tank T. The spool valve V is configured by fitting a spool valve body S as a movable valve body into a valve hole 5v formed in the housing 5 so as to be slidable in the axial direction. Is supplied to the base oil chamber Ca of the hydraulic cylinder Cy to raise the cargo box 1 (see FIG. 2 (d)), and oil is supplied from the base oil chamber Ca of the hydraulic cylinder Cy. The neutral position N (see FIG. 2 (c)), which prevents the return of hydraulic oil to the tank T and stops the cargo box 1 at an arbitrary tilting position, and oil from the base oil chamber Ca of the hydraulic cylinder Cy. When shown in a lowered position D (see FIG. 2B) that allows the return of the hydraulic oil to the tank T and lowers the cargo box 1, the base oil chamber Ca of the hydraulic cylinder Cy to the oil tank T is also shown. Waiting position D ′ for allowing the hydraulic oil to return and lowering the packing box 1 (see FIG. Is selectively movable operate between the reference) to.
[0018]
The hydraulic pump P is constituted by a conventionally known gear pump or the like and is built in the housing 5. The housing 5 is formed with a suction port 6 and a discharge port 7 respectively connected to the suction side and the discharge side of the hydraulic pump P. The suction port 6 communicates with the oil tank T, and the discharge port 7 has a valve hole. It opens to an annular groove 8 formed on the inner peripheral surface of 5v. Further, the housing 5 has an output port 9 that is always in communication with the suction port 6 via the annular groove 8 (that is, irrespective of the sliding position of the spool valve body S), and one side and the other side of the annular groove 8. A discharge port 10 and a return port 11 that directly open to the valve hole 5v are formed at positions displaced to the sides.
[0019]
The output port 9 communicates with a base oil chamber Ca of the hydraulic cylinder Cy via a check valve Vc built in the housing 5, and the discharge port 10 bypasses the check valve Vc and a base oil chamber of the hydraulic cylinder Cy. The return port 11 is always in communication with the oil tank T. Thus, the suction port 6, the annular groove 8 and the output port 9 constitute a part of the discharge oil passage 3. The check valve Vc allows only one-way oil flow from the output port 9 to the hydraulic cylinder Cy, and blocks the reverse flow.
[0020]
The spool valve body S is adjacent to the outer peripheral surface in the axial direction with a wide and annular oil passage groove g straddling the discharge port 10, the output port 9 and the return port 11, with the oil passage groove g interposed therebetween. The first and second land portions L1 and L2 are in sliding contact with the valve hole 5v. Thus, when the spool valve body S is in the lowered position D shown in FIG. 2B, the return port 11 communicates with the suction port 6 and the discharge port 10 through the oil passage groove g. While the discharged oil is short-circuited to the oil tank T side, the hydraulic oil in the base oil chamber Ca of the hydraulic cylinder Cy returns to the oil tank T side based on the weight of the cargo box 1 and the load, and the cylinder contracts.
[0021]
When the spool valve body S is in the neutral position N shown in FIG. 2 (c), the first land portion L1 passes through the annular groove 8 (therefore, the output port 9 and the discharge port 7), and the groove 8 and the return port. 11 is disconnected from the discharge port 10 while maintaining the communication state with the port 11. Accordingly, the discharge oil of the hydraulic pump P is short-circuited to the oil tank T side, while the return of hydraulic oil from the base oil chamber Ca of the hydraulic cylinder Cy to the oil tank T side is prevented, and the operation of the cylinder is kept stopped. It is.
[0022]
Further, when the spool valve body S is in the raised position U shown in FIG. 2 (d), the first land portion L1 passes through the annular groove 8 (and hence the output port 9 and the discharge port 7), and the return port 11 and the discharge port 10 And the return port 11 and the discharge port 10 are also blocked. Accordingly, the oil discharged from the hydraulic pump P is not short-circuited to the oil tank T side, but is pumped to the base oil chamber Ca of the hydraulic cylinder Cy to extend the cylinder.
[0023]
The pump shaft Pj of the hydraulic pump P and the power take-off shaft 15 as the driven-side element of the power take-out device PTO are arranged on the same axis line and are connected to each other so that they rotate integrally. The housing 5 is rotatably fitted and supported. A cylindrical slider 16 is spline-fitted 17 on the outer periphery of the power take-off shaft 15 so as to be slidable in the axial direction and not relatively rotatable. A driven gear as a driven tooth is provided on the outer periphery of one end of the slider 16. 18 is provided integrally. A drive gear 19 as a drive tooth that can mesh with the driven gear 18 is provided integrally with a drive shaft 20 as a drive-side element that is rotatably supported by the housing 5. The drive unit 19 is linked to the transmission input shaft or output shaft of the power unit PU via the drive gear 19. Therefore, when the engine of the power unit PU is in the operating state and the clutch is in the connected state, the drive shaft 20 receives the engine output and rotates.
[0024]
Thus, the slider 16 has a blocking position where the driven gear 18 is not meshed with the drive gear 19 (see FIG. 1), and a connecting position where the both gears 18 and 19 are sufficiently meshed by sliding for a predetermined stroke from the blocking position. 2 (see FIGS. 2C and 2D). An annular engagement groove 16a is formed on the outer periphery of the slider 16, and a fork-like tip portion 21a of a shift fork 21 for driving and controlling the slider 16 is engaged with the engagement groove 16a. .
[0025]
The shift fork 21 constitutes a switching operation member of the power take-out device PTO, and its base portion 21b is formed in a cylindrical shape. The outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical base 21 b is slidably fitted into a support hole 5 a formed in the housing 5, and the inner peripheral portion of the shift shaft 22 slidably fitted to the housing 5 is supported. The outer periphery is slidably fitted.
[0026]
The shift shaft 22 is coaxially and integrally connected to one end of the spool valve body S in the illustrated example. An interlocking mechanism I that mechanically interlocks the shift shaft 22 and the shift fork 21 is interposed between the shift shaft 22 and the shift fork 21. In the illustrated example, the interlocking mechanism I includes an annular first engagement groove 22a formed on the outer periphery of the shift shaft 22, and an engagement hole 23 formed in the base 21b of the shift fork 21 corresponding to the engagement groove 22a. And an annular second engagement groove 25 formed in the support hole 5a, and can be selectively engaged with the first engagement groove 22a or the second engagement groove 25 by being fitted into the engagement hole 23. The ball 24 is configured. This ball 24 is a shift fork in the first engagement state in which the ball 24 is engaged across the first engagement groove 22a and the engagement hole 23 as shown in FIGS. The axial relative movement of the shift shaft 21 and the shift fork 21 is restricted while allowing the axial movement of the housing 21 with respect to the housing 5, and the second engagement groove 25 as shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 2 (d). In the second engagement state where the engagement is performed across the engagement hole 23, the axial movement of the shift fork 21 relative to the housing 5 is restricted while allowing the shift shaft 21 and the shift fork 21 to move relative to each other in the axial direction. The slider 16 is held at the connection position.
[0027]
An operating device Co for selectively switching the switching position of the spool valve body S is connected to the outer end of the spool valve body S via an interlocking rod 27. The operating device Co includes an operating lever L having four operating positions d ′, d, n, u corresponding to the standby position D ′, lowered position D, neutral position N and raised position U of the spool valve body S, respectively. The operating lever L is connected to a holding mechanism (not shown) that can selectively hold it at the four switching positions d ′, d, n, u.
[0028]
Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0029]
While the vehicle is traveling, the operation lever L is placed at the first operation position d ′. Thus, when the operating lever L is in the first operating position d ′ and the spool valve body S is in the standby position D ′, the slider 16 has the driven gear 18 separated from the driving gear 19 as shown in FIG. In the shut-off position, the engine output is not transmitted to the hydraulic pump P, and the pump P is stopped. In this state, the ball 24 is in a first engagement state where the ball 24 is engaged across the first engagement groove 22 a and the engagement hole 23, and the shift fork 21 moves in the axial direction relative to the housing 5. The relative movement in the axial direction between the shift shaft 21 and the shift fork 21 is restricted while allowing
[0030]
From this state, the operation lever L is operated toward the second operation position d, and the spool valve body S slides by a predetermined stroke s, and the first switching position X before the lowered position D (see (a) of FIG. 2). ), The driven gear 18 starts to mesh with the drive gear 19. This meshing start timing corresponds to the switching timing a from the shut-off state to the connected state of the power take-out device PTO. Thereafter, the amount of meshing of the driven gear 18 with the drive gear 19 gradually increases as it moves to the right. The device PTO approaches the fully connected state from the incompletely connected state.
[0031]
When the operating lever L is operated past the first switching position X to the second operating position d, the spool valve body S reaches the lowered position D shown in FIG. 1 lowering operation is performed. After this position, as the spool valve body S approaches the neutral position N, the opening degree of the discharge port 10 gradually decreases, and this state is an incompletely lowered state.
[0032]
Further, when the operation lever L is operated toward the third operation position n and the spool valve body S slides by the stroke A from the standby position D ′ and reaches the second switching position Y before the neutral position N, The driven gear 18 and the drive gear 19 are sufficiently engaged, and the power take-out device PTO is completely connected. At this time, since the ball 24 is detached from the first engagement groove 22a and engaged with the second engagement groove 25 and the engagement hole 23, the shift shaft 21 is engaged. In addition, the axial movement of the shift fork 21 relative to the housing 5 is restricted while allowing the relative movement of the shift forks 21 in the axial direction. Therefore, thereafter, only the shift shaft 22 and the spool valve body S slide to the neutral position N side while the shift fork 21 is left behind and the power take-out device PTO is kept in a completely connected state.
[0033]
When the operation lever L is operated to the third operation position n, the spool valve body S has slid by the stroke B from the standby position D ′ and reaches the neutral position N shown in FIG. At this position, the cargo box 1 is held in a lift stop state. After this position, the effective cross-sectional area of the communication portion between the annular groove 8 and the return port 11 gradually decreases as the spool valve body S approaches the raised position U, and this state is an incompletely raised state.
[0034]
Further, when the operating lever L is operated to the fourth operating position u, the spool valve body S has slid by the stroke C from the neutral position N and reaches the raised position U shown in FIG. At this position, the normal lifting operation of the packing box 1 is performed.
[0035]
Thus, the switching timing a for switching from the power take-off device PTO cutoff state to the connected state (incompletely connected state in the illustrated example) is the switching movement timing of the spool valve body S as the movable valve body from the lowered position D to the neutral position N. In other words, the power take-out device PTO is not switched from the shut-off state to the incompletely connected state during the switching movement from the lowered position D to the neutral position N of the valve body S. Even if the spool valve body S of the hydraulic switching valve V is mechanically coupled to the shift fork 21 which is a switching operation member of the power take-out device PTO, the power take-out from the lowered position D to the neutral position N is performed. Switching operation can be performed at a time without being affected by the switching failure of the device PTO. Therefore, even when an emergency stop is attempted during the lowering operation of the cargo box 1, the spool valve body S is quickly and reliably switched from the lowered position D to the neutral position N without being affected by the power take-out device PTO. 1 descent operation can be stopped immediately.
[0036]
Particularly in this embodiment, the spool valve element S can be moved to a standby position D ′ specially set on the opposite side of the neutral position N with the lowered position D in between, and the standby position D ′ or Over the entire section of the lowered position D, the return of the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic cylinder Cy to the oil tank T is allowed and the cargo box 1 can be lowered. Then, when the spool valve body S is at the standby position D ′, the power take-out device PTO is placed in the shut-off state, and while the valve body S is moving from the standby position D ′ toward the lowered position D, the power take-out device The switching time a from the PTO shut-off state to the connected state (incompletely connected state in the illustrated example) is set. Therefore, while the spool valve body S is switched between the lowered position D, neutral position N and raised position U, the power take-off device PTO is not switched, and the device is connected from the shut-off state. Since it is not necessary to perform any troublesome clutch operation for switching to the state, the dumping operation of the packing box 1 is simplified accordingly.
[0037]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the switching timing a when the power take-out device PTO is switched from the shut-off state to the connected state (incompletely connected state in the illustrated example) is the switching movement timing of the spool valve body S from the lowered position D to the neutral position N. In order not to overlap, the switching timing a shifts to an intermediate position between the neutral position N and the raised position U of the spool valve body S (in the illustrated example, a position immediately after the neutral position N, that is, an incompletely raised state). Position).
[0038]
Accordingly, in this embodiment, when the spool valve body S is switched from the neutral position N to the raised position U, if the switching cannot be performed smoothly, the power take-out device PTO is turned off by temporarily disengaging the clutch of the power unit PU. After switching from the cut-off state to the cut-off state, the spool valve body S is switched to the raised position U.
[0039]
Thus, in this embodiment, basically the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be achieved.
[0040]
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the pump shaft Pj of the hydraulic pump P and the power take-off shaft 15 are integrally formed. However, in the present invention, they may be formed separately and linked together. In the above embodiment, the spool valve body S as the movable valve body and the shift shaft are integrally formed. However, in the present invention, they may be separately formed and interlocked.
[0041]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the switching timing when the power take-off device switches from the shut-off state to the connected state does not overlap with the switching movement timing of the movable valve body of the hydraulic switching valve from the lowered position to the neutral position. As a result, even if the movable valve body is mechanically coupled to the switching operation member of the power take-out device, the movable valve body is not affected by the switching failure of the power take-out device from the lowered position to the neutral position. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to make an emergency stop during the lowering operation of the cargo box, the movable valve body is quickly and reliably switched from the lowered position to the neutral position without being affected by the power take-off device. The box can be stopped immediately, improving work safety. In addition, since the above-described effect can be obtained with a simple configuration by simply setting the connection / disconnection switching timing of the power take-off device as described above, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0042]
According to the invention of claim 2, the movable valve element can be moved to a standby position set on the opposite side of the neutral position with the lowered position in between, and the movable valve body can be operated in all sections of the standby position or the lowered position. It is configured to allow the hydraulic oil to return from the hydraulic cylinder to the oil tank and to lower the cargo box, and when the movable valve body is in the standby position, the power take-off device is in a shut-off state. In addition, the switching timing comes in the middle of moving the valve body from the standby position toward the lowered position, so that the movable valve body is switched between the lowered position, neutral position and raised position. While being operated, the power take-off device is kept connected, and it is not necessary to perform a troublesome clutch operation for switching the device from the disconnected state to the connected state. Work efficiency .
