Definitions

  • Switch means is secured to the hydraulic cylinder, and means for actuating the switch means is secured to the cylinder rod for translation therewith.
  • a logic circuit is connected to the switch means and to the electromagnet, whereby the electro-magnet is energized in response to the degree of movement, and a first direction of movement, of the cylinder rod to latch the control valve means.
  • the electromagnet is deenergized via the switch means and the means for actuating, when the cylinder rod reaches a preselected position proceeding from the opposite direction. This unlatches the control valve means which allows it to seek its self-centered position. Thus, fluid flow to the hydraulic cylinder ceases when the vehicle component reaches a preselected position.
  • Hydraulic positioning systems suffer from control problems when malfunctions occur in the hydraulic system. For example, a leak in the slave cylinder or in the hydraulic circuits can cause bucket drifting ranging from slight movement to drifting simulating a slow dump. A broken supply line almost completely incapacitates the positioning control system. External repairs are time-consuming, particularly if the line to the tank has to be replaced. If an internal repair or adjustment has to be made in the hydraulic system, it is generally necessary to drain the hydraulic tank, which causes excessive down-time.
  • Electrical positioning systems overcome most of the inherent problems of the above-mentioned hydraulic systems, in that they are more reliable, more readily serviced, and are external and thus independent of the main hydraulic apparatus.
  • most electrical positioning systems utilize micro-switch means mechanically coupled to cams, recessed rods, etc., attached to the positioning hydraulic cylinder to indicate the position of the bucket. See for instance, US. Pat. No. 3,420,393.
  • the combination is subject to wear, dirt, vibration, etc., common to earthmoving apparatus, with the associated maintenance and breakdown problems.
  • prior art electrical positioning systems fail to provide desired functioning flexibility in that no provisions are made to allow the operator to readily perform various operations, e.g., as when fish tailing, etc., the bucket.
  • Typical prior art electrical positioning systems provide the disadvantage of latching the operator controls in the rack-back position whenever the control lever is moved to the latter position, as when fish tailing. The operator must then manually override the latched condition. Accordingly, the operator must avoid moving the control lever to the rack-back position if he does not wish the lever be held in such position, which complicates the opertors handling of the vehicle, for example, as when perfonning the fish tailing action.
  • the invention provides an improved solid state electronic control circuit for controlling the tilt, position, attitude, etc., of a selected component on a loader, grader, vehicle and the like.
  • a control lever is coupled to a self-centering control valve, which selectively directs hydraulic fluid to a tilt cylinder having a reciprocable rod coupled to the vehicle component.
  • An electro-magnet is disposed to hold or latch the lever in the rack-back? position when energized.
  • the electromagnet is coupled to a solid state switch assembly,
  • the pair of switches are adapted to close when placed in a magnetic field, which is selectively provided by a permanent magnet secured to the end of a rod which is, in turn, secured to the reciprocatable cylinder rod. The magnet passes adjacent the switches as the cylinder rod reciprocates.
  • the magnet successively passes adjacent the pair of switches in one direction, which causes the solid state logic circuit to energize the electro-magnet.
  • the control lever When the control lever is then placed in the rack-back position, it is held in such position by the electro-magnet. Deenergization of the electromagnet occurs via the logic circuit when the hydraulic rod is retracted, whereby the permanent magnet passes adjacent the switches in the opposite direction.
  • the control valve and the control lever returns to a neutral position, whereupon further movement of the hydraulic rod, and thus of the component, ceases. Selected placement of the permanent magnet with respect to the degree of extension of the hydraulic rod determines the preselected position, tilt, orientation, etc., of the vehicle component being controlled.
  • FIG. 1 is a simplified elevation of a track-type loader vehicle with loader bucket, and of the basic arrangement of the invention component positioner.
  • FIG. 2 is a simiplified electrohydraulic schematic of one embodiment of the invention combination.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the logic control circuit depicted in block schematic in FIG. 2.
  • a track-type loader 10 has a bucket 12 pivotably supported as at 14 by one end of a pair of laterally spaced lift arms, only one of which is shown at 16.
  • the lift arms 16 are pivotally secured at their opposite ends to a pair of laterally spaced towers integrally secured to the loader frame, one of which is indicated at I8.
  • a hydraulic tilt cylinder 20, having an extendable cylinder rod 22, is pivotally intercoupled between each tower 18 and the bucket 12 via tilt linkage, which includes a lever 24 pivotally mounted to lift arm 16 and a link 26 connecting the lever 24 to the bucket 12.
  • a manually operable, control lever 28 is located adjacent an operators station 30, and is operably connected to a spring actuated, self-centering control valve 32.
  • the latter is designed to selectively direct hydraulic fluid from a pump source 34 (FIG. 2) to the tilt cylinder 20, to control the position of the bucket 12.
  • An electromagnet 36 is suitably located, whereby the control lever 28 can be pivoted against the electromagnet and thus be held in the R or rack-back position when the electro-magnet is energized.
  • the electromagnet 36 is connected by a lead 38 to a switch assembly 40, containing a pair of spaced-apart switches 42,44.
  • the switch assembly 40 further includes a logic control circuit 46 (FIG. 3) which detects the bucket operating mode and provides current to selectively energize the electromagnet at predetermined periods during the bucket position and in response to its direction of motion.
  • Switches 42,44 are preferably solid state switches which operate via the Hall effect, and conduct current when placed in a magnetic field.
  • a magnetic field is provided by a permanent magnet 48 secured to the end of a control rod 50, where the latter is demountably attached at its other end to the extendable cylinder rod 22.
  • the control rod 50, with attached magnet 49, is disposed to pass adjacent the switches 42, 44 as the rod 22 is extended and retracted.
  • Extension of rod 22 from the fully retracted rackback position to the dump position causes the magnet 48 to pass over switches 42 and 44 from left to right on the schematic of FIG. 2. As will be more fully explained with respect to a detailed description of the logic circuitry of FIG. 3, this action permits current to flow to the electromagnet 36.
  • the operator Upon completion of the dump operation, the operator places the control lever 28 in the R position, and since the electromagnet 36 is energized, the lever 28 will remain in this position until released by cessation of current to the electromagnet. Deenergization of the electromagnet 36 is provided by passage of magnet 48 over the switches 44, 42 from right to left on the schematic, as the rod 22 retracts to rotate the bucket 12 back from the dump position.
  • the self-centering spring of the hydraulic control valve 32 urges the control lever 28 to the H or hold position, stopping further retraction of the cylinder rod 22 and thus further movement of the bucket 12. Suitable placement of the magnet 48 with respect to the position of the hydraulic rod 22 will assure that the bucket 12 is stopped in the proper loading position to begin the next work cycle.
  • the solid state switch assembly 40 is connected by a lead 52 to the positive terminal of a battery 54.
  • a fuse 56 is inserted between the assembly and the battery for circuit overload protection.
  • the electromagnet 36 and the negative terminal of the battery are grounded.
  • a hydraulic system pressure switch 58 is disposed between the battery and ground, and remains closed during the operation of the vehicle, but automatically functions to break the circuit when the vehicle is shut down. Similarly, the switch 58 may be operated by engine oil pressure, or other operating parameters. Additional switches, such as a master disconnect switch (not shown) may also be placed in the circuit as required.
  • FIG. 3 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the logic circuit 46 contained within the solid state switch assembly 40 is shown in FIG. 3.
  • a transistor 60 is disposed between the positive lead 52 and the lead 38 extending to electromagnet 36.
  • Normally nonconducting switches 42,44 and a second transistor 62 are connected in parallel between the positive lead 52 and ground.
  • An additional transistor 64 and a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) 66 are connected between the positive lead 52 and the switch 42.
  • the switch 44 is connected to the base of transistor 62 through a limiting resistor 68.
  • the collector of transistor 62 is connected to the base of the transistor 64.
  • the emitter of transistor 64 is connected through the SCR 66 to the base of the transistor 60.
  • a diode 70 providing reverse polarity protection, is disposed in the positive lead 52.
  • a zener diode 72 is connected between the positive lead 52 and ground to provide a predetermined reference voltage to the switches 42, 44.
  • a current-limiting resistor 74 provides protection for the zener diode 72.
  • Resistors 76 and 78 similarly serve to limit current through transistors 62, 64.
  • a resistor 80 is placed between the base of the transistor 62 and ground to prevent current leakage through the transistor by providing a reverse bias to the base when the switch 42 is nonconductive.
  • a diode 82 and a limiting resistor 84, placed between the switch 44 and the SCR 66, provide high voltage and current protection respectively for the switch 44 when the SCR is conducting.
  • a capacitor 86 is placed across the anode and cathode thereof, and a capacitor 88 is similarly placed across its gate and cathode.
  • a resistor 90 is placed between the base of the transistor and the lead 38.
  • a diode 92, placed between the lead 38 and ground serves to eliminate induced voltage from the electromagnet 36 whenever the current supplied to the electomagnet is interrupted.
  • the above-described circuit functions in the following manner. With the bucket 12 loaded and in the rack-back position, rod 22 and consequently rod 50 attached thereto will be in retracted position. In the absence of a magnetic field in the proximity of the switches 42, 44, the switches are non-conducting, thereby preventing the application of a positive voltage to the base of the transistor 60. The absence of such a positive voltage prevents transistor 60 from conducting current to the electromagnet 36.
  • the circuit is thus inactive, and the operator is thus free to move the control lever 28 to the D or dump position to empty the bucket 12.
  • the control valve 32 then directs pressurized fluid, as required, to the cylinder 20, and rod 22 begins an outward extension.
  • the permanent magnet 48 mounted on rod 50 which in turn is secured to rod 22 for integral movement therewith, first passes adjacent switch 42.
  • the switch will conduct current to the base of transistor 62 permitting the transistor to become conductive. Since the emitter is grounded, the collector and base of the transistor 64 will also be at substantially zero voltage potential. Transistor 64 will therefore be nonconductive.
  • the magnet 48 will move away from the switch 42, whereby current is no longer conducted to the base of the transistor 62 and the latter transistor becomes nonconductive. As a result, a positive voltage is thus provided to the base of transistor 64, permitting the transistor to conduct current to the anode of the SCR 66.
  • control lever 28 After completion of the dump operation, when the operator is desirous of returning the bucket 12 to the proper dig position, the control lever 28 is-moved to the R or rack-backposition. As electromagnet 36 is now the gate of the silicon controlled rectifier is coupled to the second switch.
  • the lever 28 is held in the rack-back position until the electromagnet is deenergized or until its holding force is manually overriden by the operator.
  • the bucket 12 returns from the dump position as rod 22 retracts.
  • the magnet 48 first passes adjacent the switch 44 to once again supply current to the gate of the SCR 66. Since the SCR is already conducting this action has no effect on the operation of the circuit, and the electromagnet 36 remains energized.
  • the switch 44 opens again.
  • magnet 48 passes directly adjacent the switch 42 it becomes conductive, and a postive voltage is supplied to the base of the transistor 62. The latter transistor thus becomes conductive, thereby interrupting the positive voltage present at the base of the transistor 64, as previously described.
  • transistor 64 becomes nonconductive, and the SCR 66 opens to thus interrupt the current to the base of the transistor 60. Consequently, transistor 60 also becomes nonconductive and current flow to the electromagnet 36 is interrupted, causing the latter to deenergize.
  • the self-centering spring of the hydraulic control valve 32 urges the control lever 28 to the H or hold position, thus stopping further retraction of the rod 22. Such action occurs at a predetermined position of the rod 22 such that the bucket 12 is in the desired position for subsequent loading or digging.
  • the operator may dump the load by moving control lever 28 to the dump position.
  • the electromagnet 36 is energized when the magnet 48 passes adjacent the magnetic field sensitive switches 42,44 from left to right on the schematic.
  • the operator may retract the bucket 12 from the dump position by moving the control lever 28 to the rack-back position. Because the electromagnet is now energized, the lever 28 is maintained in the latter position until the magnet 48 passes adjacent the switches 44,42 preceding from the opposite direction, i.e., from right to left on the schematic. As this occurs, the electromagnet 36 is deenergized and the bucket 12 automatically stops in the proper loading position, ready to begin the next work cycle, without direction from the operator subsequent to his placing the lever 28 in the rack-back position.
