Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a wheel loader, and more particularly, to an attachment coupler for a wheel loader.
  • Loaders have the facility for coupling and uncoupling an attachment with a lifting arm or for switching between various attachments such as a bucket, a clamp, or a fork.
  • a coupler is used to couple the attachment with the lifting arm.
  • Hydraulically powered displaceable pins are generally used for the attachment coupler's locking. Namely, the attachment is guided so that the locking holes are situated in a position in which displaceable pins can be shot through them, following which these pins, guided by controls located in the operating station, are hydraulically activated and shot into the holes, thereby locking the attachment with the lifting arm.
  • the hydraulically powered locking enables relatively rapid change of attachments without leaving the operating site, but it requires various hydraulic components such as actuators, conduits and valves, thus making a complex structure. Also, the engine and the whole machine should be turned on since this hydraulic coupler depends upon existing machine hydraulics for activating the locking pins.
  • manual couplers are relatively simple in structure, but they require substantial efforts and time from users for coupling or uncoupling for each and every locking position between the bracket and the attachment.
  • a working machine in this case a wheel loader which has a coupler for coupling an attachment to a lifting arm.
  • a coupler is installed between the lifting arm and the attachments such as a bucket, a clamp or a fork.
  • the bracket's back face is pivotally connected to the lifting arm and the bracket's front face is detachably connected to the attachment.
  • the attachment has a pair of protrusions rearwardly extending from the lower back of the attachment and laterally spaced apart from each other.
  • the protrusions have locking holes pierced through their width.
  • the bracket has a pair of receiving slots formed at the lower front of the bracket and engaged with the protrusions.
  • the coupler to lock the protrusions into the corresponding receiving slots comprises a shaft fixed to the bracket by means of fixtures and a pair of locking pins combined with the shaft by threads.
  • the shaft has threads formed at both ends.
  • the threads formed at the one end of the shaft are right handed and the threads formed at the other end of the shaft are left handed.
  • the locking pins are tubular, and inserted into the ends of the shaft, respectively.
  • the internal surface of the first tubular locking pin has threads corresponding to the threads formed at the one end of the shaft.
  • the internal surface of the second tubular locking pins has threads corresponding to the threads formed at the other end of the shaft.
  • the locking pins are longitudinally divided into two parts, that is, a cylindrically cross-sectioned outer part and a non-cylindrically cross-sectioned inner part.
  • the cross-section of the inner part can be partially flattened cylindrical shape or polygonal shape.
  • a pair of holders are provided to support each of the locking pins.
  • the holders are fixed to the bracket.
  • the contacting surface of the holder corresponds to the non-cylindrical contour of the inner part of the locking pin, thereby preventing the locking pin from being rotated when the shaft is driven to rotate. That is, the locking pins are rectilinearly moved due to a thread interaction when the shaft rotates.
  • the shaft has a driving section with a polygonal cross-section in order to enable users to turn the shaft easily by using appropriate means such as a wrench.
  • the threads formed at the shafts and the locking pins are multiple start threads which provide bigger screw pitch so that the lead per rotation can be increased, which can consequently minimize the effort of users when turning the shaft.
  • the coupler of the present disclosure enables users to couple or uncouple the attachment by one touch turning operation, thus reducing the effort of users and saving time at work sites.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the coupler and the attachment according to one embodiment of the present disclosure
  • FIG. 2 is a disassembled perspective view of the coupler according to one embodiment of the present disclosure
  • FIG. 3A shows the coupler in its coupling position where the locking pins are fully extended
  • FIG. 3B shows the coupler in its release position where the locking pins are fully shortened
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the bracket seen from the lifting arm side and an enlarged view of part “A”;
  • FIG. 5 is a disassembled perspective view of the coupler according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a bracket 100 and an attachment 102 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • Bracket 100 has a back face pivotally connected to the free end of a lifting arm (not shown) of a wheel loader and a front face detachably connected to attachment 102 .
  • the wheel loader is an example of the working machine to which the coupler of the present disclosure applies. Therefore, it should be understood that this coupler can apply to various kinds of working machine which has a detachable and interchangeable tools as an attachment. Some examples of such working machine are wheel loaders, track loaders, excavators, and dozers.
  • the bucket is an example of the attachment to which the coupler of the present disclosure applies. It should be understood that this coupler can apply to various kinds of attachment, for example, a clamp, a fork, a breaker or a crusher.

  • FIG. 2 shows a disassembled perspective view of a coupler 200 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the coupler 200 comprises a shaft 202 and a pair of tubular locking pins 204 a , 204 b combined with shaft 202 by threads.
  • Shaft 202 has threads 216 a , 216 b formed at both ends.
  • the threads formed at the one end of shaft 202 ( 216 a ) are “right handed” and the threads formed at the other end of shaft 202 ( 216 b ) are “left handed”.
  • Locking pins 204 a , 204 b are, at least partially, tubular and inserted into the ends of shaft 202 , respectively.
  • the inside of the first tubular locking pin 204 a has threads 218 a corresponding to the threads 216 a formed at the one end of shaft 202 .
  • the inside of the second tubular locking pin 204 b has threads 218 b corresponding to the threads 216 b formed at the other end of shaft 202 .
  • the first locking pin 204 a is longitudinally divided into two parts, that is, a cylindrically cross-sectioned outer part 212 a and a non-cylindrically cross-sectioned inner part 210 a .
  • the cross-section of inner part 210 a can be shaped into a partially flattened cylindrical shape or a polygonal shape.
  • the second locking pin 204 b is longitudinally divided into two parts, that is, a cylindrically cross-sectioned outer part 212 b and a non-cylindrically cross-sectioned inner part 210 b .
  • the cross-section of inner part 210 b can be shaped into a partially flattened cylindrical shape or a polygonal shape.
  • a pair of holders 214 a , 214 b are provided to support corresponding locking pins 204 a , 204 b , respectively. Holders 214 a , 214 b are fixed to bracket 100 .
  • the contacting surface of the first holder 214 a corresponds to the non-cylindrical contour of the inner part 210 a of the first locking pin 204 a . Therefore, the first locking pin 204 a is prevented from being rotated when shaft 202 is driven to rotate. In other words, the first locking pin 204 a is rectilinearly moved due to a thread interaction when shaft 202 rotates.
  • the contacting surface of the second holder 214 b corresponds to the contour of the inner part 210 b of the second locking pin 204 b . Therefore, the second locking pin 204 b is prevented from being rotated when shaft 202 is driven to rotate. In other words, the second locking pin 204 b is rectilinearly moved due to a thread interaction when shaft 202 rotates.
  • the longitudinal lengths of inner parts 210 a , 210 b are longer than or at least equal to the rectilinear moving strokes of locking pins 204 a , 204 b along shaft 202 so that the rotations of locking pins 204 a , 204 b are prevented throughout the entire strokes of locking pins 204 a , 204 b.
  • FIG. 3A shows this coupling position where locking pins 204 a , 204 b are fully extended.
  • FIG. 3B shows this release position where locking pins 204 a , 204 b are fully shortened.
  • the threads 216 a , 216 b of shaft 202 and the threads 218 a , 218 b of locking pins 204 a , 204 b are multi start threads.
  • the multi start threads increase the lead per rotation of locking pins 204 a , 204 b . Accordingly, locking pins 204 a , 204 b can have longer rectilinear moving strokes relative to the rotation of shaft 202 .
  • quadruple start threads are used. Consequently, these multiple start threads minimize the effort of users when turning the shaft.
  • shaft 202 has a driving section 208 with a polygonal cross-section in order to enable users to turn shaft 202 easily by using an appropriate tool such as a wrench.
  • the cross-section of driving section 208 is shaped as hexagonal, and a hexagonal wrench is used to turn shaft 202 .

  • reference numerals 206 a , 206 b are fixtures used to affix shaft 202 to bracket 100 .
  • Fixtures 206 a and 206 b wrap around shaft 202 at the right side and at the left side of driving section 208 , respectively, in a less frictional manner and bolted to bracket 100 at their edges.
  • An anti-friction material or coating (not shown) can be used on the contacting surfaces between fixtures 206 a , 206 b and shaft 202 .
