Description

DESCRIPTION
"BODY TIPPER" [0001]. This invention has to do with the industrial vehicle sector and refers, in particular, to a device for tipping the dump body of such vehicles. [0002]. The possibility already exists of tipping the dump bodies of industrial vehicles, or lifting them towards the rear or, possibly, from both sides of the vehicle. Current tipping systems require that the tippable body rest on a false frame by means of ball joints positioned above the frame of the vehicle. The false frame supports a balance beam with a telescopic jack that, in its turn, oscillates around an axis at right angles to the balance beam. Alternatively, constraining the ball joints by means of bolts, the body is lifted on the desired side by the telescopic jack driven by a hydraulic control power pack. [0003]. Nevertheless, since the balance beam and the telescopic jack are positioned in the center of the false frame during the lifting operation, this is subjected to significant flexing stress, which also has repercussions for the frame of the vehicle itself. The false frame, the telescopic jack and the hydraulic power plant must, thus, be suitably dimensioned to support the forces deriving from the noted structure of the lifting system. [0004]. Starting from these premises, the purpose of this invention is to propose a tipping device for vehicle dump bodies that allows distributing the stresses deriving from lifting the body in a way that is less burdensome for the frame of the vehicle avoiding, in particular, that the false frame be subjected to flexion. [0005]. This purpose is pursued with a dump body tipping device conforming to claim 1.
[0006]. Further details and advantages of the invention will be more clear from the following description made with reference to the attached, indicative and not restrictive, drawings in which:

Fig. 15 illustrates, in a perspective view, a detail of an industrial vehicle equipped with a body tipping device, in which the body is tipped to the right side of said vehicle.
[0022]. As can be seen from the drawings, according to a general form of the invention, a dump body tipping device works with a body that is adapted to rest on at least four ball joints 12 attached to a support element 10. Said ball joints 12 are used in pairs to allow the hinging of the body 12 to the support element 10 along one side. This support element comprises at least two end cross-members located in proximity to two opposite ends 14 of said support element, such as a false frame 10 or the frame itself. [0023]. Advantageously, said device comprises at least two telescopic actuators 16 arranged opposed to each other. Each actuator 16 is articulated, by means of the respective ball joints 17, with a first end at a respective end cross-member 14 of the support element 10 and, with a second end, opposed to the first, at a constraining part 19 of the body 11. [0024]. The term "body" is means a loading surface, with or without sides, or cover, but also any structural element that needs to be tipped, such as by way of example, a frame or even a tank equipped with an evacuation opening or similar.
[0025]. The term "end cross-member" means an element or structural component such as, for example a frame or false frame located on the frame of a vehicle, suitable for constructing a support for the telescopic actuator in such a way as to allow the, at least, two telescopic actuators to be arranged opposed to each other, leaving their support element subjected to traction stress. Obviously, due to construction requirements, said end cross- members can be moved to the side or extreme edge of the support element, such as, for example, for the purpose of leaving useful space for additional operational elements of the vehicle. This notwithstanding, said end cross- members are substantially arranged at the end of the support element for the purpose of leaving the greater part of this element subtended by said actuators and, as said above, subjected to traction during the activation of said telescopic actuators. According to an embodiment, said ends of the support element to which said telescopic actuators are connected are the front end 80 and the rear end 81 of the support element (Figure 13). [0026]. The term "constraining part of the body" means a support element and/or connection of the ends of the, at least, two telescopic actuators, made in such a way that these actuators are arranged opposed to each other and can transmit a pushing and tipping action to the body. [0027]. According to an embodiment, the extension and/or lowering or folding of said, at least two, telescopic actuators 16 is simultaneously controlled by means of actuation and, as a consequence, the tipping and folding of the body. Preferably, said means of actuation will comprise a hydraulic power plant 20 for controlling the telescopic cylinder 51 and piston 52 actuators, such as, for example, a hydraulic cylinder 16 (figure 5). Advantageously, at the free end of the piston a terminating fitting is provided with a ball 53 suitable for use in the spherical housing of a first connecting element 54, in such a way as to construct said ball joint. With further advantage, the free end of the cylinder is connected to a tapered element terminating with a ball 55 suitable for use in a spherical housing of a second connection element 56, in such a way as to realize said opposed ball joint 17. Said first and said second connecting element are suitable for solidly connecting said ball joints of each telescopic actuator to the body 11 and, respectively, to the support element 10 of the body. [0028]. According to an embodiment, each of said telescopic actuators 16 is connected by means of a first end 70 to a support bracket 18 provided on a respective end cross-member 14 (Figures 1, 2 and 3). Advantageously, each of said telescopic actuators 16 is connected by means of a second end 71 to a bracket 19 provided in said body 11 (Figures 1, 2 and 12). With further advantage, each of said telescopic actuators 16 is connected by means of a second end 71 to a central cross-member 19 provided in a central position of said body 11 (Figures 13, 14 and 15). [0029]. As can be seen from figure 6, according to an embodiment, said hydraulic power plant 20 comprises a motor 57 operationally connected to a pump 58 that draws fluid from a reservoir 59 and places it under pressure, if necessary, through a filter 60. Said fluid under pressure is sent to the at least two telescopic actuators 16 through a pipe 61 whose path comprises auxiliary elements such as a valve to return excess fluid to the tank, indicated as a whole by 62 and a non-return valve 63, as well as a solenoid valve 64 for the controlled emptying of the telescopic actuators, so as to bring them back, after their extension, to a collected configuration. For each actuator, a valve is provided to control the outflow of fluid 65 in the event a pipe breaks and, as a consequence, it allows the gradual folding or lowering of the of the telescopic actuator in such a way as avoid a sudden accidental lowering of the body from the tipped position. [0030]. According to an embodiment, said support element comprises a frame of a vehicle suitable for supporting said body 11. Advantageously, said support element comprises a false frame 10 mounted on the frame 90 and suitable for supporting said body 11 in the manner that will be described in greater detail below (Figure 13). [0031]. As can be seen from figure 11, during the activation of said at least two telescopic actuators, said support element 10 of the body 11 is primarily subjected to traction stress.
[0032]. According to a further embodiment, in its general form said device is suitable for the three-sided tipping of the bodies of industrial vehicles where the body rests, in folded condition, on four ball joints 12 attached to a false frame 10 mounted on the frame 90 of the industrial vehicle 100, where said ball joints can be used in pairs to allow the hinging of the body to the false frame along one of three sides, rear, rights side or left side and where the false frame comprises at least two end cross-members, front and rear. Said device comprises two opposed hydraulic cylinders 16, each articulated, by means of the respective ball joints 17 from one part to a respective cross- member 14 and, from the other, to a bracket or central cross-member 19 attached to the body 11. Said cylinders 16 are simultaneously controllable by a hydraulic power plant 20. [0033]. Advantageously, a support bracket 18 of the relative cylinder 16 is attached to the each cross-member 14. With further advantage, the two end cross-members make up a direct part of the vehicle frame 90. [0034]. This invention also comprises an actuator for a tipping device as described above and comprising means for the telescopic movement of two actuation ends 70 and 71, each of said ends comprising a ball joint 17 (Figures 5 and 2). Advantageously, said actuator comprises a cylinder 50 and a piston 51 and, according to an embodiment, connecting elements between said cylinder and piston and said ball joints. [0035]. The subject of this invention also comprises a vehicle 100 comprising a body 11 supported in a tippable way by a support element 10 or 90. Said vehicle also comprises a device for tipping said body as described above. According to an embodiment, said vehicle is a van or truck 100 equipped with a tippable body 11. According to a further embodiment, said vehicle is a trailer vehicle comprising a body 11 supported in a tippable way on at least three sides of a support element. Said vehicle also comprises a device for tipping said body as described above.
[0036]. Advantageously, said trailer vehicle comprises a body supported in a tippable way on four sides of a support element (Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10). [0037]. According to another further embodiment, said vehicle is a trolley, such as a railway trolley, comprising a body supported in a tippable way on at least three or four sides of a support element. Said vehicle also comprising a device for tipping said body in conformity with what was described above. [0038]. Below we provide a detailed description of an embodiment, provided for purposes of illustration only. In the figures, 10 indicates a false frame mounted on the frame of an industrial vehicle and 11 schematically represents the structure of a tippable body resting on the false frame through four ball joints 12 located at the vertices. The male and female elements of these four ball joints 12 are held together by bolts or pins 13. The false frame comprises at least two end cross-members 14, front and rear, connected by longitudinal members 15.
[0039]. According to the invention, the device under examination comprises two opposed hydraulic cylinders 16, each articulated, by means of their respective ball joints 17, on one part to a support bracket 18 attached to each cross-member 14 and, on the other, to a bracket or central cross- member 19 of the structure 11 of the body. The two cylinders 16 are controlled by a hydraulic power plant 20 comprising, in the noted manner, an electric motor, a pump, a reservoir, a solenoid valve and a control button. [0040]. After having hinged the body 11 to the false frame 10 along the desired side through the insertion of bolts or pins 13 in two ball joints, it is possible to simultaneously control the two opposed cylinders 11 to lift the body. The particular arrangement of the cylinders allows unloading the lifting force of the body in a distributed manner to the ends of the false frame, which is thus stressed in traction on the two end cross-pieces rather than in flexion as in current tipping systems. This allows using much lighter longitudinal elements 15 for the false frame or actually reducing the false frame to just the end cross-members. Alternatively, the support brackets of the cylinders could be attached directly to the, suitably reinforced, frame of the vehicle. As a consequence, even the hydraulic power plant could be equipped with a reservoir of lesser capacity and a pump with smaller piston displacement. [0041]. In addition to cost reductions, such a reduction in the weight of the elements that constitute the tipping device allows transporting a greater load equal to the Total Weight to the Ground.
