Abstract

An excavator boom has a bucket pivotally mounted on an end thereof and a hydraulic cylinder is pivotally connected to the boom and bucket through a pair of links to selectively pivot the bucket between its rack-back and digging positions of operation. A third link is pivotally interconnected between the boom and a first end of a bellcrank, pivotally mounted on the bucket. The bellcrank is U-shaped to have a cleaning blade secured to its second, lower end which sweeps through the bucket upon selective extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder.

Tacky material, such as clay, is particularly difficult to dislodge from the bucket due to its adherence thereto. Thus, the operator must normally bang the bucket against a stationary object or pry out the material manually. Prior art attempts to provide selfcleaning means for the bucket are exemplified by the teachings of U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,653,905; 2,683,542; 2,858,035 and 3,438,526.
SUMMARY OF THIS INVENTION An object of this invention is to provide an economical and non-complex self-cleaning means for automatically sweeping through an earthworking bucket upon pivotal movement of the bucket between its rack-back and dump positions on a boom. First linkage means are pivotally interconnected between an extensible actuating means and the boom and the bucket for selectively pivoting the bucket between such positions. Second linkage means are interconnected between the boom and the bucket and have the self-cleaning means secured thereon for sweeping movements between the fore and aft ends of the bucket in response toextension or retraction of the actuating means.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Other objects of this invention will becomeapparent DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG. 1 depicts a bucket arrangement II) and an excavator boom 11 pivotally connected to an upper, back side thereof by a pivot pin 12. Although the bucket arrangement is hereindescribed in association with an excavator, it should be understood that the bucket arrangement can be readily adapted for use on other types of buckets, such as loader buckets.
An extensible and retractable actuating means 13, such as a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, has its rod 14 pivotally connected to a first linkage means 15 by a pin 16. The first linkage means comprises a pair of first and second links 17 and 18, respectively, having their first ends pivotally connected to the rod by common pin 16. The second end of link 17 is pivotally connected by a pin 19 to a flange 20, secured on the aft end of a bucket 21.
The second end of link 18 is pivotally connected by a pin 22 to a second linkage means 23. The second linkage means comprises a third link 24 pivotally mounted on boom 11 by common pin 22 and a bellcrank 25 pivotally connected to a second end of link 24 by a pin 26.
As more clearly shown in FIG. 3, the bellcrank com-.
prises a U-shaped member pivotally mounted between laterally spaced sidewalls 27 of the bucket by pins 28.
The bellcrank has a self-cleaning means or elongated blade 29 formed on its lower end. The blade extends between sidewalls 27 and is transversely disposed in bucket shell 30, having a generally U-shaped cross section, to automatically sweep therealong between the fore and aft ends thereof in response to actuation of cylinder 13. In particular, FIG. 1 discloses cylinder 13 in its retracted condition whereby the bucket arrangement is maintained in its digging or dumping position of operation with boom 11, lever 24 and bellcrank 25 disposed in general vertical alignment.
Upon extension of the cylinder, the first and second linkage means will function to automatically retract blade 29 towards an aft end of the bucket wherein the bucket is maintained in its rack-back or load-carrying condition of operation. Bellcrank 25 is thus disposed generally forwardly of the boom and link 24 with an open face of the bucket facing the boom. It should be noted that blade 29 sweeps the bottom of the bucket automatically during both the loading and dumping phases of bucket operation.
In view of the above, it can be seen that the selfcleaning bucket arrangement ,of this invention comprises an economical and non-complex design which can be adapted to conventional bucket arrangements expeditiously. In addition to its efficient cleaning capabilities, the integrated linkage system will not interfere with the line of sight of the operator of an excavator or like earthworking machine. In addition, such linkage is positioned inboard of the buckets sidewalls to protect it against damage.
It is to be understood also that the bucket arrangement of this invention will provide the capability of scooping or dipping water and/or aqueous solutions from a trench, hole, etc. The fluid will not drain from the bucket when the bucket is raised since the addition of the self-cleaning configuration does not disrupt the bucket enclosure.
