During fabrication of the boom, the various plates and attachment means are positioned in suitably arranged fixtures and are tack Welded together. The boom is then placed on each of its sides for final welding purposes.
9 Claims, 8 Drawing Figures PATENTED SEP 2 975 sum 3 OF 4 PATENTEB SEP 21975 SHEET u. UF 4 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Implement carrying booms for hydraulic excavators and the like are normally fabricated from a plurality of steel plates secured together by a multiplicity of transverse and longitudinal welds. The plates are normally roll formed to provide a backup ridge for the longitudinal welds (see FIG. 8 of applicants drawings) which gives rise to various stress problems discussed in applicants copending U.S. application Ser. No. 348,926, filed on Apr. 9, I973 for Stress-RelievedWeldment for Box Sections. Stress concentrations are particularly occasioned at a mid-portion of the boom whereat cast members are secured thereto to provide attachment means for one end of a hydraulic cylinder which is further attached to a vehicle for boom raising and lowering purposes.
SUMMARY OF THIS INVENTION An object of this invention is to provide a boom construction which exhibits a high degree of structural integrity and an economical method for expeditiously making the same. The boom comprises attachment means formed on opposite ends thereof, a pair of continuous and uninterrupted upper and lower plates and side plates secured to the upper and lower plates by four continuous weld means extending substantially the full length ofthe boom. The boom is fabricated by positioning the various plates and attachment means in suitably arranged gigs and fixtures and by initially tack welding them together. The boom is then laid on each of its sides for the final welding operation.

FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken in the direction of arrows VIVI in FIG. 2;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 3 but showing attachment structure exploded with the welds removed there from; and
FIG. 8 is an enlarged top plan view of one end of the boom. taken in the direction of arrows VIIIVIII in FIG. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG. I illustrates a hydraulic excavator 10 having a first end of a boom ll of this invention pivotally mounted thereon by a first pivot means 12. The second end of the boom is attached to a work implement. such as a bucket I3, by a second pivot means 14 and intermediate stick 15. The boom is generally V-shapcd and has a pair of first double-acting hydraulic cylinders 16 (one shown) each attached to an apex thereof by a third pivot means 17.
The head end of the cylinders are each pivotally attached on the vehicle by a fourth pivot means 18 to fa.- cilitate raising or lowering of the boom under control of the operator. A second double-acting hydraulic cylinder 19 has its head end mounted on an upper side of the boom by a fifth pivot means 20 and its rod end is attached to the upper end of stick 15 by a sixth pivot means 21. A third double-acting hydraulic cylinder 22 is pivotally interconnected between an upper end of stick I5 and bucket 13, through suitable linkage means 23, to selectively pivot the bucket on the stick.
Referring to FIG. 2, boom 11 comprises a pair of continuous and uninterrupted upper and lower plates 24 and 25, respectively, and a pair of side plates 26 se cured thereto. The structurally integrated plates form a box section substantially throughout the full length of the boom. Each side plate 26 comprises a pair of plates 26 and 27 secured together at a transverse weld 28 (FIG. 3).
The weld is backed-up throughout its length by a flat member 29 disposed interiorly of the boom. The booms structural integrity is not adversely affected by such a weld. In particular, the major stresses imposed on the boom during operation thereof occur adjacent to its apex, at attachment means 17 (FIG. I).
As further shown in FIG. 3,. each plate 26 may have a thickness T (e.g., I in.) which is greater than the thickness T (e.g., in.) of each plate 27. The forward end of each plate 26 is preferably machined to form a taper throughout a forward portion L of its length to match the thickness of a respective, co-planar plate 27. Such a construction substantially reduces the overall weight of the boom without adversely affecting its bending strength.
Referring to FIG. 4 the upper, lower and side plates are secured together by four continuous weld means 30, each securing a lateral side of one of the upper and lower plates to a respective one of the side plates. As shown, each weld means 30 has a generally V-shaped cross section terminating at an apex thereof at an L- shaped angle bar 31 which functions as a back-up means for the weld. Such a stress relieved weldment is fully disclosed in applicants above referenced U.S. ap plication Ser. No. 348,926. In particular, FIG. 5 illustrates a prior art weldment wherein a pair of plates 25' and 26' are secured together by a weld 30' which terminates at its apex at a rolled section 31 formed on plate 25'.
Since the rolled section is formed integrally with the plate, it cannot be selectively sized or positioned to accommodate manufacturing and assembly tolerances a and I). As a result, weld blow-through" may occur whereby a poor weldment is formed to adversely affect the overall structural integrity of the boom. In contrast thereto, angle bar 31 (FIG. 4) can be suitably sized and positioned to provide a zero clearance between the angle bar and side plate 26 and a precisely controlled clearance C at the apex or root of weld 30 to assure the formation of structurally sound weldments.
Referring to FIGS. I, 6 and 7, pivot means 17 comprises an attachment means including a pair of bell castings32 each extending through an annular opening 33 formed through a respective side plate 26 and secured thereto by an annular weld 34. An annular first flange 35 is formed on each bell casting to extend radially outwardly therefrom to abut inner surface portions of plate 26 to precisely position the bell casting thereon and to also provide a weld back-up means thereat for weld 34. An annular second flange 36 extends axially inwardly from each bell casting to underlie a respective end of an intermediate cylindrical connecting member 37. A pair of annular welds 38 secure the opposite ends of the connecting member to the bell castings.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 8, first pivot means 12 comprises an attachment means or yoke at the first end of the boom having a pair of bearing bushings 39 secured thereon for pivotally mounting the boom on the frame of vehicle 10. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, second pivot means 14 comprises an attachment means or casting 40 welded on the second or forward end of the boom for pivotal attachment to stick is. As further shown, fifth pivot means comprises an attachment means or casting 41 secured on upper plate 24 for pivotally attaching the head end of cylinder 19 thereon.
METHOD OF FABRICATION Boom I1 is fabricated by first flame cutting and shaping upper, lower and side plates 2426. Openings 33 (FIG. 7) are formed through the side plates and eastings 32 and member 37, presecured together by welds 38, are suitably mounted therein. The vertical legs of preshaped angle bars 31 are then tack welded to the side plates in a suitable fixture whereby each leg projects slightly beyond a lateral end of a side plate to precisely set clearance C (FIG. 4) for subsequent formation of the weld grooves for welds 30.
Lower plate is then mounted in a suitable fixture, in its FIG. 2 position. The side plates, having castings 32 and member 37 tack welded thereto, are then accurately positioned on the bottom plate 25 and tack welded thereto. Top plate 24 is then positioned on the side plates and tack welded thereto along with castings 32 and 4] and bushings 39.
The tack welded sub-assembly is then turned on a first side thereof to complete the exposed major welds, including a weld 34 and two of the four continuous welds securing the upper, lower and side plates together. The boom is then turned over onto its second. opposite side and a similar welding operation is effected thereon to complete the major welds. The boom is then mounted on excavator 10 (FIG. 1) and attached to the various cylinders and stick 15.
