The present invention relates to a coupling structure of an excavator bucket and a working plate, and more particularly, to a coupling structure of an excavator bucket and a working plate that can be universally coupled to a tooth of various types of excavator buckets.

Excavator is one of the heavy equipment widely used in building construction, civil engineering, etc., the bucket is detachably coupled to the arm tip. The bucket can be replaced by a shredder or the like according to the working aspect. In particular, during flattening, a flat plate in the form of a flat plate may be additionally coupled to the tooth of the bucket, which is disclosed in Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2005-0024650. According to the conventional method of coupling the flat plate to the bucket, including the above application, there are the following problems.

The tooth of the bucket is a special material with high rigidity, but it is easy to be worn, damaged or deformed by the general operation of the excavator. When the tooth is twisted or bent in any direction, it becomes very difficult to couple the flat plate to the tooth. Due to this problem, the bucket which has been used a lot may cause the flat plate to become useless or may need to be replaced with a bucket in a normal state.

This is a problem that can be applied to all the work tools that can be used by inserting the bucket, not limited to the flat working plate. Therefore, the scope of the present invention extends not only to the flat work plate but also to other work tools for excavators.

An object of the present invention for the above problem is to provide a coupling structure of the bucket and the flat working plate of the excavator that can be applied to the bucket that the tooth is severely deformed by use. Specifically, the present invention provides a coupling structure of a bucket and a working plate of a general-purpose excavator that can be applied to various types of buckets having different spacings and numbers of teeth.

The above object, the head member having a tooth fitting groove to which the tooth of the excavator bucket can be fitted; A body member connected to the head member so as to be freely rotated in at least one direction by a joint means; A rail member for sliding the body member so as to flow in only one direction; It is achieved by the coupling structure of the excavator bucket and the work plate, characterized in that it comprises a work plate coupled to the rail member.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view for explaining the use state of the present invention. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a combined state of the tooth and the working plate according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of FIG. 2.

The working plate 2 for flattening the earth is coupled to the tooth 4 which is installed at the tip of the bucket B by the coupling structure of the present invention. As shown, only two teeth 4 located at both ends of the bucket B can be used to connect the working plate. This is for economics, but more teeth 4 may be used if a greater strength is required depending on the working environment.

The working plate 2 to which the present invention is applied is for flat work of the ground, but need not be limited to flat work. The shape of the working plate 2 can also be variously selected as a thread. By this content, the scope of the present invention cannot be interpreted limitedly.

The basic configuration of the coupling structure according to the present invention includes a head member 6, the body member 8, the rail member 10. The head member 6 is for fitting the tooth 4 of the bucket. Therefore, the tooth fitting groove 12 of the width which the tooth 4 can be inserted is provided. The head member 6 is bent in the form of a dish but the upper part is open. This is a means for fitting and fitting the tooth 4 more easily.

2 to 3, a fixing key 14 is used to fix each other in a state where the tooth 4 is fitted to the head member 6. To this end, both side walls of the head member 6 are provided with fixing key holes 16 for penetrating the fixing keys 14. Because the tooth 4 is flattened at its tip, the fixed keyhole 16 is inclined as shown.

The general tooth 4 is provided with a pinhole 18 laterally. Tooth fixing pin holes 22 for perforating the tooth fixing pins 20 are formed on both side walls of the head member, whereby the tooth 4 is coupled to the head member 6.

The fixing key 14 is fixed by press-fitting through the fixing key hole 16 while the tooth 4 is seated in the tooth fitting groove 12 of the head member 6. For this purpose, the fixing key 14 is preferably made of a soft metal. Both side walls of the head member 6 are fitted into the binding groove 24 of the fixing key. Various methods in the art may be employed to secure the engagement of the tooth 4 and the head member 6.

The body member 8 is coupled to the head member 6 to allow a relative movement to some extent in at least one direction by a joint means. The head member 6 and the body member 8 should be able to flow in at least one direction, and more preferably to be able to move freely in any direction. The width of the movement does not need to be very large. Specific embodiments of the joint means will be described later.

The rail member 10 is fixed to the rear end of the upper surface of the working plate 2 by fastening means such as bolts. Referring to FIG. 2, the hexahedral body member 8 is slidably fitted to the rail member 10 and is movable along its longitudinal direction. To this end, the rail member 10 has a concave-convex long hole 26 corresponding to the size of the body is formed with a cutout portion 11 in the longitudinal direction is opened toward the upper direction with a constant width. As a result, the body member 8 may be located at any point along the longitudinal direction of the rail member 10, and the head member 6 connected thereto may protrude upward. The length of the rail member 10 is similar to the width of the bucket B.

The working plate 2 may be adopted in the manner proposed by the inventor through the Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2005-0024650.

An example of the joint means will be described with reference to FIG. 3, which is a cross-sectional view of the state in which the tooth 4 is engaged. The joint means in this embodiment are similar in function to the conventional ball joints. Rotating hole 28 is integrally connected to the head member 6, which is seated in the spherical rotary ball groove 30 provided in the body member (8) to make spherical contact with each other and rolling motion is possible. Done. The cover 32 is fixed to the upper surface of the body member so as to prevent the rotation hole 28 from being separated from the seated state in the body member 8. Thereby, the head member 6 can be tilted in an arbitrary direction in a protruding state from the rail member 10.

The tooth 4 is fitted to the head member 6 and is fixed by the fixing key 14 and the tooth fixing pin 20, and the body member 8 is fitted to the rail member 10 so that it is only vertical in the drawing. Can be flowed. The cover hole 34 is fitted with a bush 36 of an elastic material such as rubber to prevent inflow of dust and to prevent noise caused by friction between metals. The cover 32 is fixed to the upper surface of the body member 8 by bolts.

4 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the joint means, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line BB ′ of FIG. 4. The head member 6 is the same as the previous embodiment, the tooth 4 is also fitted by the fixing key 14 and the tooth fixing pin 20 is coupled. The body member 10a is composed of a detachable socket 38 and a ring-shaped ring bearing 40 fitted therein. The rod-shaped rail member 10a is integrated with the working plate 2 by the support 40a in a state spaced from the working plate 2 to some extent. The support 40a may be detachably coupled from the rail member 10a and / or from the working plate 2.

The joint means in this embodiment is constituted by a ring bearing 42 having an inner diameter for fitting the rod-shaped rail member 10a and the rail member 10a. The outer surface of the ring bearing 42 is in the form of a sphere, and the body member 8a seated thereon may also be somewhat harder. The ring bearing 42 can also be easily coupled to the rail member 10a by using a split type. Since the body member 10a and the rail member 10a are not frequently disassembled or used in combination, such a configuration is also possible.

6 is a perspective view according to another embodiment of the present invention and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC ′ of FIG. 6.

The coupling relationship between the head member 6 and the tooth 4 is similar to that of the other embodiments. However, the fixing key 14b is a pin member of circular section. However, the fixed key hole 16b and the tooth fixing pin hole have the same shape, so that they can be universally applied to the tooth 4 of various shapes and sizes.

There is a great feature in the coupling method of the rail member (10b) and the body member (8b) will be described. The body member 8b is spherical and is integral with the head member 6 by being detachably coupled to the bottom surface of the head member 6. Sometimes it can be permanently joined by welding. The rail member 10b is cylindrical and forms the notch 11b cut along the longitudinal direction, and the upper part is opened by the constant width. This allows the head member 6 to flow to some extent at any angle. The rail member 10b is coupled to the working plate 2 via the support 40b.

The disclosed embodiments are merely examples for implementing the technical idea of the present invention.

Those skilled in the art may make various modifications within the scope of the contents described in the claims. In particular, the joint means may employ various kinds of shaft joint members known in the mechanical field with almost no deformation. For example, a universal joint or the like for transmitting axial rotational power at different angles may be used. However, since the joint means of the present invention is not intended for transmitting axial rotation but for allowing the member and the member to be slightly tilted at an arbitrary angle, a simple configuration may be preferable in terms of economy.

In all the embodiments described above, locking means may be provided to prevent the body member 6 from being spaced apart from the rail member 10. While this is a means to prevent loss when not in use, it is not an essential component of the present invention. Therefore, illustration and detailed description are omitted.

According to the configuration as described above, it is possible to easily combine a work plate, such as a flat work plate to the bucket of the excavator having a tooth that is used a lot deformed formally. In addition, various types of excavator buckets of various shapes and sizes can be used to combine the working plate.
