Definitions

  • a hydraulic clamshell bucket attachment includes a hydraulic cylinder with a tubular cross head housing attached to its rod end and a rod with its outer end operating in the housing. Bucket halves with curved bottom walls are pivotal on a common axis at the outer end of the housing, and a cross head attached to the end of the rod and extending outwardly through slots in the housing has thrust links connecting its ends to respective bucket halves.
  • the rod has an enlarged ange near the cross head which engages the housing to help take side loads.
  • the seal includes an outer ring fixed to the casing that is spaced from the rod and defines a groove facing the rod, and an inner ring sealed around the rod and received in the groove.
  • a tubular housing extension and a rod extension which can readily be connected between, respectively, the cylinder casing and housing and the rod and cross head are provided to allow the bucket attachment to be lengthened.
  • This invention relates primarily, but is not limited to, clamshell excavating machines of the type known as stick clams in which a bucket attachment is connected directly to the end of a live stick or boom so that the stick can be used to force the bucket downwardly into the material being excavated.
  • Such machines are quite useful, for example, in digging holes and trenches, especially in hard ground.
  • a bucket attachment for a machine of the stick clam type must fulfill several requirements. For one thing, the actuating mechanism for the bucket halves Imust be powerful enough to operate even under the additional load imposed by the stick. Further, the attachment must be capable of accommodating eccentric loads occurring, for example, -when the machine is digging in uneven ground. Still further, it is desirable to be able to shorten or lengthen the attachment for digging deep holes or for reaching over obstacles.
  • Another specific object is to provide an attachment in which the bucket halves have a common pivot axis and bottom walls which are appropriately curved from front to rear to .minimize crowding of the material in the bucket as it is closed.
  • a further specific object is to have a hydraulic bucket attachment in which there is a bearing ange on an 3,517 ,960. Patented June 30, 1970 actuating rod which is engageable with a tubular housing to help take side thrust loads.
  • a further speciiic object lies in having a floating seal between an actuating rod and cylinder casing. This insures, among other things, that side thrust loads can be taken by the bearing flange on the rod.
  • ⁇ Still another specific object is to provide an attachment in which the length of the attachment can easily be varied simply by inserting or removing a housing extension and a rod extension.
  • the invention contemplates accomplishment of all of the foregoing and other objects, while still providing a bucket attachment that is relatively simple and inexpensive, of great mechanical strength, and relatively easy to manufacture, assemble and maintain.
  • FIG. 1 is a somewhat schematic side view in elevation of a stick clam excavator including a bucket attachment constructed according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary side View in elevation of the bucket attachment seen in FIG. 1, v
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary end view in elevation, with parts shown in cross section and alternative positions of certain elements in broken lines, further illustrating the attachment of FIGS. l and 2,
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary side view in cross section generally similar to FIG. 2, but showing the attachment with housing and rod extensions in place, and
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary view in perspective, with parts shown broken away and in cross section, illustrating the oating seal between the cylinder casing and rod of the bucket attachment.
  • the excavating machine of FIG. l is essentially a conventional back hoe type of excavator which has been modified by the addition of a bucket attachment into a stick clam excavator.
  • the construction and operation of such machines and their modification in this manner is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be discussed in detail herein.
  • the basic machine includes a working frame 1 that is revolvably mounted on a crawler base 2.
  • a boom 3 is pivotally footed on the frame 1 and is raised or lowered in a vertical plane by means of a pair of parallel hydraulic hoist cylinders 4, only one of which can be seen in FIG. l.
  • a handle or stick 5 is pivotally mounted at the tip of the boom 3 and is pivoted in the same vertical plane by means of a hydraulic dig cylinder 6.
  • a scoop-type bucket (not shown) is pivotally attached to the end of the stick 5, and is pivoted by means of a hydraulic wrist cylinder (also not shown) mounted on the stick 5.
  • the bucket and wrist cylinder have been replaced by the clamshell bucket attachment which will now be described.
  • One showing of a similar machine equipped as a back hoe excavator can be -found in the copending application of George W. Mork, Ser. No. 683,202, filed Nov. l5, 1967 now Pat. No. 3,463,336.
  • the bucket attachment comprises a double acting hydraulic cylinder indicated generally by the reference numeral 7, the base or casing end of which is attached, through a support bracket arrangement to be described, to the outer end of the stick 5 by means of a transverse pin 8, so that the entire bucket attachment is relatively freely pivotal in the same vertical plane as the boom 3 and stick 5.
  • the attachment be capable of limited pivotal movement in a plane transverse to the plane of movement of the stick and boom, this being primarily to allow compensation for-uneven groundconditions encountered during digging.
  • the supporting connection between'thecylinder i',7w-*2'1nd-fstick 5 includes a first 'bracket 9*.that is lactuallyyconne'cted; to the pin 8 and includes downwardly .depending -plates i9', and a second bracket ⁇ that includes-upwardly extending arms 10 that are'receivedzbetweenthe'plates 9':

  • the lbucket be capable of rotation about a vertical axis generally corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the attachment as seen in FIG. 1 to provide what is termed a swivel action.
  • This is accomplished in the embodiment shown by having the cylinder casing proper, which is indicated by the reference numeral 11, rotatably mounted on the second bracket 10 by means of an appropriate swivel connection 12, which may be of any of the several types known to those skilled in the art and, therefore, is shown only schematically herein. Rotation of the casing 11, and therefore all the parts below it, is accomplished, through suitable known circuitry, by means of a conventional hydraulic motor 13 which is mounted on the second bracket 10 between the arms 10.
  • the outer or rod end of the cylinder casing 11 is provided with a radial connecting flange 14, and a tubular cross head housing 15 is provided at its inner end with a radial connecting flange 16 which faces the flange 14.
  • Bolts 17 passing through the flanges 16 and 14 removably connect the housing 15 to the casing 11.
  • the housing 15 is provided with opposite, parallel longitudinal slots 18 which extend along the major portion of its length but terminate short of its ends. Reinforcing plates y19 are preferably provided around the slots 18 to give the housing 15 a double thickness in this area.

  • the bottom walls 30 of the vvbucket halves 30 are curved from front to rear (from left to right or right to leftqasV the bucketuhalves V30 'are seen in-FIG. 3), with the radius of curvature beingsubstantially the same as the radius of .closure ofthe bucket, or in other words with the center' ofwcur-vature being substantially coincident with the .axis definedby the pins 31.
  • each bucket half 30 is provided with a transverse pin 32 -which extends across its entire width, the pinsv 32 being spaced onopposite'sides of the housing 15 and the axis dened by the pins 31.
  • a thrust link designated generally by the reference numeral 33 is provided for each bucket half 30; and each link 33 includes a tubular quill portion 34 which rotatably receives .the corresponding pin 32, converging arms 35 leading upwardlyfrom the quill 34, and a clevis 36 at the ymeeting ends of the arms 35.
  • Each clevis 36 receives a respective end of the cross head 24 and is removably and pivotally connected thereto by .means of va removable transverse pin 37 which passes through suitable aperture therein.
  • the piston rod 21 is shown in its fully extended position in which the cross head 24 is near the bottom of the slots 18 and the other end of the housing 15, the bucket halves 30 ⁇ then being closed or together as shown in full lines.
  • Retraction of the rod 21 will of course cause the cross head 24 to be raised which will, through the links 33, result in the bucket halves 30 being opened and moved to the position shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3.
  • Subsequent re-extension of the rod 21 will then cause bucket halves 30 to close once again.
  • the stick 5, and the boom 3 can of course be operated in the usual manner to force the bucket attachment downwardly as the halves 30 are being closed.
  • This seal includes a rigid circular outer ring member 38 which is generally L- shaped in cross section and is fixed to the casing 11 at its rod end, an O-ring 39 disposed in a groove 40l in the ring 38 being interposed between the ring 38 and the inner wall of the casing 11 to insure an effective seal.
  • the inner edge of the end of the casing 11 is stepped at 41, and the ring member 38 has at its bottom end a radial flange 42 which is received in the stepped portion 41 to hold the ring 38 against upward movement.
  • the primary upward holding force for the ring 38 comes from an upwardly extending shoulder 44 formed in the housing 15 which is received in the stepped portion 41 and tight against the ring 43.
  • a washer-shaped cover 45 is secured to the ring member 38 by means of bolts 46, the member 38 and cover 45 together constituting a rigid outer ring which surrounds and is substantially spaced from the piston rod 21 and is fixed to the cylinder casing 11; and which denes a groove 47 of generally square cross section which has upper and lower walls and surrounds and faces the rod 21.
  • a rigid circular inner ring member 48 is disposed in the groove 47 and is fitted relatively closely about the piston rod 21. Both the upper and the lower edges of the inner surface of the ring 48 are cut away to define an upper annular recess 49 and a lower annular recess ⁇ 50.
  • a conventional flexible U-cup seal 51 is received in the upper recess 49 and is fitted tightly about the rod 21 to serve in usual fashion as the primary oil seal. An increase in pressure within the cylinder casing 11 will of course cause the cup seal 51 to expand to be more tight against the rod 21.
  • a flexible wiper 52 Disposed within the lower recess 50 is a flexible wiper 52 which engages the rod 21 to keep it clean and prevent dirt from enteringthe casing 11.

  • the outer diameter of the ring 48 is substantially less than the diameter of the groove 47 so that there is a substantial gap therebetween. This, with the spacing of the outer ring from the rod 21, means that he piston rod 21 is capable of relatively substantially lateral movement in any direction with respect to the casing 11. This is accomplished without affecting the operation of the sealing ring 53 and without moving the rod 21 hard against the primary seal 51 to impair its effectiveness.
  • FIGS. 1-3 and 5 The bucket attachment of FIGS. 1-3 and 5 is fully functional as shown. In some cases, however, especially for digging holes or reaching over obstacles such as fences, it is desirable to be able to have a longer bucket attachment. To this end, the bucket attachment of this invention has been constructed to allow it to be easily extended to greater length.
