Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semi-locking pick holder assembly and particularly to an assembly which allows a damaged pick holder of a road planer drum to be replaced.
- the semi- locking pick holder assembly ensures that the pick is sufficiently well attached to the drum to prevent excessive wear and also that a damaged pick holder can easily be removed without having to cut or damage any permanent joints.
- Road planing machines are used in the repair of roads to remove the top surface of the road.
- they typically they have a rotating road planing drum which has a number of picks attached to it and helically arranged so as to cut material from the road and transport it to the ends or middle of the drum.
- the picks In order to efficiently cut the top surface, the picks must be robustly secured to the drum.
- picks are often damaged when the road planing drum encounters features in the road such as metal work (e.g. manhole covers, tram lines and the like). When damaged the picks must be replaced, but this operation often requires that the picks, or their holders, have to be cut from the drum owing to the manner in which they have been secured to the drum, e.g. by welding.
- a pick arrangement including a pick box having an opening and a support member which is welded to a road planer drum.
- a pick holder having a shank and holding a pick is then attached to the pick box by engaging the pick holder shank and the opening in the pick box.
- the pick holder and pick box are then fastened together by a retaining screw so that the support member supports the pick holder.
- the shank and opening are loosely fitting so that it is the retaining screw which holds the pick box and pick holder together.
- a semi-locking pick assembly comprising a pick holder and a pick box in which: the pick holder has a tapering shank; and the pick box has a shank chamber matching the shape of the tapering shank so that the pick holder can lockingly fasten to the pick box when the pick holder and pick box are engaged.
- the tapering shank may have a frusto conical shape.
- the pick box may be a closed pick box; i.e. there is no access to the shank by which a tool may be used to remove the shank from the pick box when the pick holder and pick box are lockingly engaged.
- the assembly includes a seal device, the tapering shank has a base and the pick box has a piston chamber and a duct, with the piston chamber communicating with the shank chamber and housing the seal device so as to form a piston which can act on the base of the tapering shank, and the duct communicating between the piston chamber and externally of the pick box so that pressure can be applied via the duct to the seal device to cause the pick holder, when lockingly engaging the pick box, to move and be released from the pick box.
- the tapering shank has a retaining formation and the pick box has a retaining device which can engage the retaining formation so as to fasten the pick holder to the pick box when the pick holder and pick box are engaged.
- the retaining formation may be a resiliently biased ring around the shank of the pick holder and the retaining device may be a circumferential groove around an interior wall of the pick box.
- the retaining formation may be a recess in the shank of the pick holder and the retaining device may be a threaded bore and a threaded element which can be screwed into the bore so that it engages the retaining formation.
- the recess may be a circumferential groove around the shank.
- the seal device is a planar element with a seal around its periphery so as to allow the seal device, when located in the piston chamber, to act as a piston.
- the piston chamber is cylindrical.
- the duct communicates with a bottom face of the piston chamber so as to allow one of hydraulic and pneumatic pressure to be applied to an underside of the seal device.
- the locating device comprises a substantially planar pick holder surface and a substantially planar closed pick box surface.
- Figure 1 shows a semi-locking pick assembly according to the present invention mounted on the surface of a road planer drum
- Figure 2 shows an exploded view of the assembly using a modified pick holder
- Figure 3 shows a view of the pick holder part of the assembly.
- FIG. 1 With reference to Figures 1-3 there is shown a semi-locking pick assembly, generally designated by reference numeral 10, welded to the surface of a road planer drum 20 .
- the assembly comprises a pick holder 30, a hydraulic seal 40 and a closed pick box 50.
- the assembly is semi- locking: i.e. the pick holder is fastened to the pick box and mechanically locked to the pick box without the need for any other devices while the pick holder can still be extracted from the pick box when desired.
- the pick holder 30 bears a pick 31 having a strengthened cutting tip 32 and has a tapered shank 33 having a frusto conical shape with a base 34.
- the shank has a retaining formation 35 in the form of a recess which is a circumferential groove which extends around the shank.
- the pick holder has a substantially planar pick holder surface 36 which is part of a locating device as will be described later.
- the seal device 40 is a disc 41 with a seal 42 around its circumference.
- the pick box 50 is a closed pick box: i.e. there are no openings in it via which a tool may be inserted to mechanically remove a pick holder locked to it e.g. by hitting the base of the pick holder.
- the closed pick box has a shank chamber 51 and a piston chamber 52 which communicate with each other.
- the geometry of the shank chamber matches the geometry of the shank: i.e. the shape of the shank chamber is such that when the shank mates with the shank chamber the surface of the shank 37 and the shank chamber wall 53 are entirely flush so that the shank can be locked in the shank chamber by a slight impact which forces the shank into the shank chamber.
- This method of locking the shank in the shank chamber reduces the wear of the pick box compared to previous arrangements as there is no play between the shank and the shank chamber and so the repeated impacts of the pick with the material being cut does not generate damaging impacts between the pick holder shank and the interior of the pick box.
- the piston chamber 52 is located below the shank chamber and is cylindrical.
- a duct 54 communicates between the bottom face of the piston chamber 55 and externally of the pick box.
- the hydraulic seal, piston chamber and hydraulic duct are arranged to operate as a piston.
- the hydraulic seal is located in the piston chamber and when hydraulic pressure is applied to the underside 43 of the hydraulic seal via the hydraulic duct the hydraulic seal moves upwards in the piston chamber and towards the shank chamber acting as a piston.
- pneumatic pressure may be used.
- the pick box has a retaining device in the form of a threaded bore 55 and a threaded element 56 which can be screwed into the bore so that an end of the element protrudes into the shank chamber.
- a spring retaining ring and groove arrangement may be used.
- the tapering shank may have a spring retaining ring extending around it and the inner wall of the shank chamber may have a groove circumferentially extending around it.
- the sprung ring can then engage the groove so as to further secure the shank in the closed pick box. Access may be provided to the ring to disengage it from the groove to allow the assembly to be disassembled.
- the pick box has a substantially planar surface 57 which acts as part of a locating device as will be described later.
- a number of closed pick boxes are secured to the surface of a road planer drum 20 in the correct cutting pattern and orientation so that, when picks are attached to the boxes, the picks will be correctly oriented with respect to the drum.
- the pick boxes are welded to the surface of the road planer drum.
- a hydraulic seal is placed in the piston chamber and a closure element, such as a grub screw, is located in the external entrance to the hydraulic duct so as to prevent it becoming blocked by cut material or dirt.
- the shaft of a pick holder is then inserted into the shank chamber of a pick box.
- the pick box planar surface 57 and pick holder planar surface 36 co-operate to act as a locating device.
- the pick box surface 57 is borne by a raised member 58 extending across the pick box.
- the pick holder surface 36 is borne by a head 38 of the pick holder above the shank.
- the raised member 58 prevents the shank being fully inserted into the shank chamber unless the pick holder is correctly oriented, by rotation about its longitudinal axis, so that the pick holder surface 36 and pick box surface 57 are parallel and adjacent. When they are so arranged the shank can be fully inserted into the shank chamber.
- the locating device does not act to provide support for the pick holder but acts only to ensure the correct orientation of the pick holder with respect to the pick box.
- the screw can help to drive the shank into the shank chamber to ensure that the pick holder is locked into the pick box should the light tap to engage the shank and shank chamber have been insufficient.
- a spring retaining ring and co-operating groove may be used. The semi-locking pick assembly is now ready for use in the cutting operation.
- the threaded element is removed from the threaded bore.
- the closure element is removed from the hydraulic duct and a hydraulic line is connected to the hydraulic duct by a suitable adapter. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the other end of the hydraulic line by a pump or the like. The hydraulic pressure is communicated to the underside of the hydraulic seal in the piston chamber by means of the hydraulic duct. The hydraulic seal abuts the base 34 of the shank and acts as a piston head to apply a force to the base of the shank which acts to release the shank from the shank chamber and so releases the damaged pick holder.
- a pneumatic system may be used. A new pick holder can then be fastened to the pick box as described previously and the cutting operation restarted.
- a suitable tool may be used to release the pick holder from the pick box by acting on part of the pick holder not engaged in the shank chamber of the pick box so as to un-lock the pick holder from the pick box once the threaded element has been removed.
- the pick holder shown in Fig. 2 has a modified retaining formation.
- the recess 39 in the shank is not circumferential but rather cuts a chord extending across the surface of the shank, but not all the way around the shank. In this way a greater surface area of the shank is available to engage the shank chamber wall than compared with the pick holder shown in Figures 1 & 3.
- the circumferential groove shown in Figures 1 & 3 is easier to manufacture.
