Definitions
- the present invention relates to a snowploughing unit.
- a snowploughing unit can be mounted on various types of motor vehicles, e.g. tractors.
- the unit may consist of a single inclined blade which blade may be provided at its lower edge with a foldable cutter.
- This cutter has a function to fulfil when the plough encounters an object protruding from the ground which is covered by a layer of snow.
- the foldable cutter is folded backwards so that the plough can pass without disturbance.
- Such plough blades are usually termed V-ploughs. It is also desirable in these plough units for each plough blade to have a foldable cutter.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a V-plough unit wherein the foldable cutter can be influenced in such a manner that the vehicle can without difficulty pass protruding obstacles that are not visible due to the snow covering them.
- this is accomplished in practice by each foldable cutter, when it encounters an obstacle, being given a retrograde turning motion and also an outwardly directed motion parallel with the plough blade.
- the upper part and foldable cutter of the plough blade cooperate with a spring system which is compressed at the outward movement of the cutter and is so designed that immediately the contact between the obstacle and the cutter has ceased, the spring system forces the cutter back to its starting position.
- the rear of the cutter is pivotably connected with one end each of two rods, the other ends of the rods being journalled in the upper part of the plough blade.
- These rods are connected to individual spring systems so designed that, upon lateral movement of the foldable cutter, they are compressed and strive to return the cutter to its starting position in the absence of obstacles on the ground.
- Figures 1 to 3 show schematically from the side three different situations in which a foldable cutter is cooperating with an obstacle
- Figures 4 to 6 show schematically the V-plough seen from above
- Figures 7 to 9 show a V-plough unit in three different positions
- Figures 10 and 11 show a plough blade with accessories.
- Figures 1-3 show a plough blade seen from the side, the upper part of which is designated 3, and where a foldable cutter arranged at the lower end of the upper part is designated 4.
- Figure 1 said foldable cutter encounters a terrain obstacle 22.
- Figure 2 shows how the foldable cutter 4 is influenced by the obstacle and
- Figure 3 shows how the cutter passes the obstacle 22.
- Figures 4-6 show a V-plough unit, seen from above, in the three different situations according to Figures 1-3, where it is clear how the foldable cutters 2 and 4 are folded and displaced outwards during passage of a terrain obstacle 22.
- Figures 7-9 show a road plough with upper parts 1 and 3, foldable cutters 2 and 4 and retaining members 5 and 6 in all three positions to which the V-plough unit can be subjected according to Figures 1-3.
- Figure 10 shows a plough blade 3 with foldable cutter 4, in which the cutter 4 assumes its starting position, and Figure 11 shows the same plough blade as in Figure 10 but where the foldable cutter has been affected by a terrain obstacle and where the cutter has acquired both a pivoting and an outwardly directed movement.
- the upper part 3 of the plough blade is provided at its lower edge with two flanges 9 and 10 constituting attachment means for a shaft 8.
- the cutter 4 is provided with a transverse flange 7 to which two flanges 11 and 12 with openings are welded, the openings being designed for passage of the rod 8 so that the cutter is pivotable about the shaft 8.
- a helical spring 13 is arranged between the flanges 11 and 12.
- the cutter 4 is provided close to its ends with two transverse flanges 14 and 18, in turn provided with journalling units 15 and 19, respectively for the ends of two rods 16 and 20.
- the two bearings 15 and 19 may be of ball-and-socket type.
- the other ends of the rods 16 and 20 are journalled in a unit 6 with a longitudinal part and two transverse parts, a rectangular passage thus being formed for the upper ends of the rods 16 and 20.
- Each rod 16, 20 is provided with a helical spring 17, 21, respectively.
- both rods 16 and 20 are inclined in relation to the two side edges of the upper part and the helical springs 17 and 21 are uncompressed.
- the springs 17 and 21 will be compressed and the two rods 16 and 20 will be substantially parallel with the edges of the plough blade.
- the plough blade 1-2 will be identical to the plough blades described in Figures 10 and 11.
