Description

Stabilizer

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a stabilizer (outrigger) that is used in a working machine such as a backhoe and is used for stabilization during work, and in particular, a rotating portion of a stabilizer pad that is a member that is grounded for maintaining the body stability. Is related to the configuration of

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a stabilizer technique that is installed in a work machine such as a backhoe or a crane and used to ensure the stability of the machine body during work is known.
A stabilizer pad is pivotally supported at the tip of the leg of the stabilizer, and the stabilizer pad is grounded to maintain the stability of the machine during work (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Some known stabilizer pads have a structure having a flat surface and a non-slip surface. When the ground contact surface is a soft and slippery ground such as soil containing a lot of moisture, the operator rotates the stabilizer pad to ground the non-slip processed surface. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the stabilizer pad from slipping on the ground.
JP 7-268905 A

However, in the above-described stabilizer pad, after the operator touches the non-slip surface and works, the stabilizer pad is once separated from the ground surface, the aircraft is moved to a desired location, and the stabilizer pad is again mounted. When the work is performed while being grounded, the stabilizer pad sometimes rotates due to its own weight while the stabilizer pad is separated from the ground. Therefore, when an operator grounds the stabilizer pad again, an operation of rotating the stabilizer pad is necessary so that the stabilizer pad can be grounded again on the non-slip surface of the stabilizer pad. There was an efficiency problem.

In view of the above problems, the present invention solves the problem of preventing the stabilizer pad from rotating due to its own weight when the stabilizer pad is rotated to a direction where it can be grounded on a non-slip processed surface. It was a problem to be solved.

The problems to be solved by the present invention are as described above. Next, means for solving the problems will be described.

That is, in claim 1, a bracket fixed to the body, a leg pivotally supported at one end of the bracket, an actuator interposed between the bracket and the leg, and the other leg And a stabilizer pad rotatably supported at the end, wherein the stabilizer pad is pivoted at an end of a support shaft that is disposed at the other end of the leg and pivotally supports the leg and the actuator. Is provided with a rotation restricting mechanism for restricting the movement.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the rotation restricting mechanism attaches a contact member disposed in an insertion hole formed from an end surface of the support shaft so as to be able to contact the side surface of the stabilizer pad, and the corresponding contact member in the protruding direction. And a biasing member that biases.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the rotation restricting mechanism is rotatable at an end portion of the support shaft between a contact position for restricting the rotation of the stabilizer pad and a non-contact position for releasing the restriction. It is provided with an attached regulating member.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the rotating portion includes an elastic member that holds the restricting member at an arbitrary rotating position.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, restriction means for restricting rotation of the restriction member is provided at the contact position and the non-contact position, respectively, and the restriction member is urged so as to rotate in the contact direction. The member is provided in the rotating portion.

As the effects of the present invention, the following effects are obtained.

In the stabilizer according to the first aspect, the stabilizer pad can be easily held in the rotated position, and the inversion can be prevented. Since the rotation restriction mechanism is provided on the support shaft, it can be easily retrofitted and processed easily.

In claim 2, in addition to the effect of the stabilizer of claim 1, the rotation restricting mechanism can be manufactured with a simple configuration, and the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

In claim 3, in addition to the effect produced by the stabilizer of claim 1, the stabilizer pad can be held in a predetermined position by a simple operation of the restricting member.

According to the fourth aspect, in addition to the effect produced by the stabilizer according to the third aspect, the regulating member can be operated at an appropriate operating force and held at the contact position or the non-contact position.

According to the fifth aspect, in addition to the effect produced by the stabilizer according to the third aspect, it is possible to limit the rotation in the reverse direction while allowing the restriction member to rotate toward the non-contact position side. Thereby, the stabilizer pad is allowed to rotate to the side where the grounding plate faces upward. Once the stabilizer pad is turned upward, the rotation of the stabilizer pad is restricted by the stabilizer pad coming into contact with the regulating member. Therefore, an operation for holding the grounding plate of the stabilizer pad in an upward state is not necessary.

When operating the backhoe 20, the operator can operate the operating device 9 while being seated on the seat 8 by turning the seat 8 backward.

Next, the configuration of the

stabilizers

30 and 30 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

Stabilizers

30 and 30 are used to ensure the stability of the fuselage during the operation of the backhoe 20. As shown in FIG. 1,

stabilizers

30 and 30 are respectively provided on the left and right of the rear part of the body frame 3.

Here, since each of the pair of left and

right stabilizers

30 and 30 has substantially the same configuration, only the stabilizer 30 provided on the left side of the body of the backhoe loader 1 will be described below, and the description of the stabilizer 30 provided on the right side of the body will be given. Is omitted.

2 and 3, the stabilizer 30 mainly includes a bracket 31, a leg 32, a hydraulic cylinder 33 as an actuator, a stabilizer pad 34, a rotation restricting mechanism 60, and the like.

The bracket 31 is a member for connecting the leg body 32 and the hydraulic cylinder 33 to the body frame 3. The bracket 31 is fixed to the rear left side surface of the body frame 3.

The leg 32 is a main structure of the stabilizer 30. One end of the leg body 32 is pivotally supported on the bracket 31 by a pivot shaft 37 and is attached to the body frame 3 so as to be vertically rotatable.

The hydraulic cylinder 33 is an actuator configured to be capable of expansion and contraction control by the operation device 9. The rod side end of the hydraulic cylinder 33 is pivotally supported on the bracket 31 by a pivot shaft 29 and is attached so as to be pivotable up and down. The pivot shaft 29 is provided above the pivot shaft 37. The cylinder side end of the hydraulic cylinder 33 is pivotally supported on the other end of the leg 32 by a support shaft 38. However, the hydraulic cylinder 33 can be mounted upside down, and the mounting structure is not particularly limited. By extending and contracting the hydraulic cylinder 33, the leg body 32 can be turned up and down around the pivot shaft 37.

The stabilizer pad 34 is a member that is grounded when the stabilizer 30 is used. The stabilizer pad 34 includes a main body and a ground plate 34a. The main body is constituted by a side plate 34b and a bottom plate 34c in a substantially inverted U shape in a side view and in a substantially U shape in a plan view, and the side plate 34b is formed in a substantially triangular shape in a front view. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a flat ground plate 34a is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom plate 34c of the main body. A central portion of the side plate 34 b is pivotally supported on the leg body 32 by a pivot shaft 35 and is attached to the leg body 32 so as to be rotatable.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper end of the side plate 34b has a structure in which the upper end of the side plate 34b is anti-slip processed as a protrusion 34d. In the present embodiment, the side plate 34b is formed in a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the front, but the shape of the side plate 34b is not particularly limited as long as the present invention is a non-slip processed structure. In other words, the side plate may have a structure that can prevent slipping with respect to the ground when the stabilizer pad is grounded, such as a structure in which irregularities are formed on a flat surface, a trapezoidal shape, or a wedge shape.

The stabilizer pad 34 having such a structure can select a surface to be grounded according to the state of the ground. That is, the operator grounds the ground plate 34a when the ground to be ground is dry, hard soil or the like. On the other hand, when the ground to be ground is a slippery soft ground such as soil containing a lot of moisture, the operator rotates the grounding plate 34a of the stabilizer pad 34 so as to be positioned on the upper side to ground the protrusion 34d. Thus, the protrusion 34d of the stabilizer pad 34 can be bitten into the ground, and the backhoe loader 1 can be reliably supported without the stabilizer pad 34 slipping on the ground.

Next, the configuration of the rotation regulating mechanism 60 provided in the stabilizer 30 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

The rotation restricting mechanism 60 is a mechanism for restricting the ground plate 34a from rotating downward due to its own weight when the ground pad 34a of the stabilizer pad 34 is rotated so as to be positioned on the upper side. As shown in FIG. 4, the rotation restricting mechanism 60 is disposed on the side surface of the leg 32 and is provided on the support shaft 38 in the present embodiment. The rotation restricting mechanism 60 mainly includes a contact member 40, a washer 41, biasing

members

42 and 43, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation restricting mechanism 60 is located on a side surface of the leg 32 and higher than the pivot shaft 35 that pivotally supports the stabilizer pad 34 when the stabilizer 30 is pivoted downward. Are arranged as follows. In the present embodiment, the support shaft 38 is disposed.
As shown in FIG. 4, an insertion hole 39 is formed in the axial center portion of the one end surface 38 a of the support shaft 38. The insertion hole 39 has an inner diameter substantially the same as the outer diameter of the urging

members

42 and 43, and the inner diameter on the opening side is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the urging

members

42 and 43 to prevent the insertion holes 39 from coming off. The urging

members

42 and 43 are formed in a ring shape by an elastic body such as rubber. The inner diameters of the urging

members

42 and 43 are substantially the same as the outer diameter of the shaft portion 40b of the contact member 40. The contact member 40 includes a head portion 40a and a shaft portion 40b, and the outer diameter of the head portion 40a is set to be approximately the same as the diameter of the opening side of the insertion hole 39 so that it can be inserted into the insertion hole 39. Further, the periphery of the projecting side of the head 40a is chamfered or formed in a substantially hemispherical shape so that the side surface of the stabilizer pad 34 that comes into contact with is difficult to be caught.

Thus, the urging

members

42 and 43 are inserted into the insertion hole 39, and the abutting member 40 is inserted through the washer 41, the urging member 42, and the urging member 43 in this order. The shaft 38 is inserted into the insertion hole 39 in a state of protruding from the front end face by a predetermined dimension. Here, the urging

members

42 and 43 do not easily come out of the insertion hole 39 due to vibration or the like, and the shaft portion 40b of the abutting member 40 is connected to the shaft hole at the center of the urging

members

42 and 43. Since it is configured so as not to easily come off due to friction, it is not necessary to use a retaining part such as a nut. Further, the rotation restricting mechanism 60 can be easily attached by a simple operation of inserting the urging

members

42 and 43 and the contact member 40 into the insertion hole 39.

A coil spring can be used in place of the biasing

members

42 and 43. Further, the contact member 40 may be formed of a ball or the like and protrude from the one end surface 38a.

Hereinafter, the operation mode of the stabilizer pad 34 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 5.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which the stabilizer pad 34 shown in FIG. . Here, the two-dot broken line in FIG. 5 indicates the position of the original stabilizer pad 34 (FIG. 3) before the stabilizer pad 34 is rotated.

When grounding the protrusion 34 d of the stabilizer pad 34, when the operator rotates the stabilizer pad 34 upward about the pivot shaft 35, the inner end surface of the side plate 34 b of the stabilizer pad 34 is brought into contact with the contact member 40. When it is further rotated, the contact member 40 is pushed in the back direction against the urging force of the urging

members

42 and 43. When the inner end surface of the side plate 34b passes through the contact member 40, the grounding plate 34a of the stabilizer pad 34 faces upward, and the protrusion 34d faces downward. In this state, the stabilizer pad 34 is swingable within a range where the inner end surface of the bottom plate 34 c contacts the contact member 40 and a range where the front and rear surfaces of the bottom plate 34 c contact the leg body 32 or the hydraulic cylinder 33.

In this state, when the stabilizer 30 is rotated downward about the pivot shaft 37, the stabilizer pad 34 can be grounded with the protrusion 34d facing downward. Further, when the stabilizer 30 is rotated upward about the pivot shaft 37 when the backhoe loader 1 is moved or when the work is interrupted, the inner end surface of the bottom plate 34c of the stabilizer pad 34 comes into contact with the contact member 40. The rotation of the stabilizer pad 34 can be restricted until the ground plate 34a faces downward.

Here, since the abutting member 40 is provided in the vicinity of the pivot shaft 35 that serves as a fulcrum of rotation of the stabilizer pad 34, the operator pushes the end surface of the side plate 34b against the abutting member 40 with a relatively small force. The contact member 40 can be pushed into the insertion hole 39.

Further, when it becomes necessary to ground the grounding plate 34a in the subsequent work of the backhoe loader 1, the operator rotates the stabilizer pad 34 around the pivot shaft 35 in the opposite direction to the above, and the grounding plate 34a Keep facing downward. When the inner end surface of the bottom plate 34c comes into contact with the contact member 40 during the rotation, a force is applied to the contact member 40, and the contact member 40 resists the urging force of the urging

members

42 and 43. Since it is pushed in, the stabilizer pad 34 can be easily passed.

Also in this case, since the abutting member 40 is provided in the vicinity of the pivot shaft 35 that is a fulcrum of the stabilizer pad 34, the operator can release the rotation restriction of the stabilizer pad 34 with a relatively small force.
In the present embodiment, the operator does not need to use a tool or the like when the rotation due to the weight of the stabilizer pad 34 is restricted, and the operation is simple.

As described above, the stabilizer 30 of this embodiment is interposed between the bracket 31 fixed to the airframe, the leg body 32 pivotally supported at one end of the bracket 31, and the bracket 31 and the leg body 32. A hydraulic cylinder 33 serving as an actuator, and a stabilizer pad 34 rotatably supported on the other end of the leg 32, and an end of a support shaft 38 that pivotally supports the leg 32 and the hydraulic cylinder 33. Further, a rotation restricting mechanism 60 for restricting the rotation of the stabilizer pad 34 is provided.

With this configuration, when the stabilizer 30 is rotated downward about the pivot shaft 37, it can be grounded on the non-slip processed surface (the projection 34d faces downward). Further, when the stabilizer 30 is raised when the backhoe loader 1 moves or suspends work in this state, the rotation of the stabilizer pad 34 is restricted by contacting the contact member 40. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the stabilizer pad 34 from being inverted by rotating until the ground plate 34a faces downward. Further, since the rotation restricting mechanism 60 is provided on the support shaft 38, it can be easily retrofitted and can be easily processed.

In addition, the rotation restricting mechanism 60 of the present embodiment includes a contact member 40 that is disposed in an insertion hole 39 formed from one end surface 38a of the support shaft 38 so as to be able to contact the side surface of the stabilizer pad 34, and the corresponding contact member. And urging

members

42 and 43 for urging 40 in the protruding direction.

With this configuration, the rotation restricting mechanism 60 can be manufactured with a simple configuration. In addition, the number of parts can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the contact member 40 is provided on the front end surface of the support shaft 38, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, the contact member can be provided on the rear end surface of the support shaft, or on the front and rear end surfaces.

Next, the stabilizer 130 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

The stabilizer 130 is different from the stabilizer 30 in that a rotation restricting mechanism 70 is provided instead of the rotation restricting mechanism 60.
In the following description, members having substantially the same configuration as that of the stabilizer 30 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

First, the configuration of the rotation restricting mechanism 70 provided in the stabilizer 130 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The rotation restricting mechanism 70 is a mechanism that restricts the ground plate 34a from rotating downward due to its own weight when the ground pad 34a of the stabilizer pad 34 is rotated so as to be positioned on the upper side. As shown in FIG. 6, the rotation restricting mechanism 70 is disposed on the side surface of the leg 32 and is provided on the support shaft 38 in the present embodiment. The rotation restricting mechanism 70 mainly includes a restricting member 44, bolts 45,

washers

46 and 49, disc springs 47 and 48, and the like.

The regulating member 44 is a substantially rectangular plate-like member. A through hole 44 h is formed on one end side of the regulating member 44.
The restricting member 44 is rotatably supported at an end portion of the support shaft 38 (a portion protruding forward of the leg body 32). More specifically, a through-hole is opened in a portion of the support shaft 38 that protrudes from the leg 32 in a direction perpendicular to the shaft center, and a bolt 45 is inserted into the through-hole. The end of the support shaft 38, the washer 50, and the through hole 44h of the restricting member 44 are inserted in this order, and are fastened and fixed by the nut 51. Thus, by inserting and fixing the disc springs 47 and 48 together with the restricting member 44 to the bolt 45, an appropriate resistance force can be given to the turning operation of the restricting member 44. As a result, the restricting member 44 can be rotated with a predetermined operating force, and the rotation position is held by the biasing force of the disc springs 47 and 48.

In the present embodiment, the disc springs 47 and 48 are used as the elastic member. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the restriction member is attached to the support shaft together with the elastic member such as a spring or rubber. It may be. In other words, the elastic member only needs to have a biasing force that enables the regulating member to be rotated with a predetermined operation force and hold the rotation position.
Further, in order to securely hold the restricting member in the protruding position, either one of the restricting member and the support shaft may be provided with a convex portion, and the other may be provided with a concave portion that fits the convex portion to form a locking means. Is possible.

Hereinafter, the operation mode of the stabilizer pad 34 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

When the protrusion 34d of the stabilizer pad 34 is grounded, the operator rotates the stabilizer pad 34 about the pivot shaft 35 counterclockwise in FIG. 7 so that the orientation of the stabilizer pad 34 with respect to the ground is changed as shown in FIG. The state shown in a) is changed to the state shown in FIG.

Then, when the bottom portion 34 c of the stabilizer pad 34 passes the restriction member 44, the operator performs an operation of rotating the restriction member 44 to a position (contact position) parallel to the axis of the support shaft 38. By such an operation, even if the stabilizer 130 is turned up and down or the stabilizer pad 34 is rotated in the opposite direction, the grounding plate 34a contacts the regulating member 44, so that the further stabilizer pad 34 is provided. Can be restricted. In this manner, even when the stabilizer 130 is rotated downward from the state where the backhoe loader 1 is moved or the like, the stabilizer pad 34 can be restricted from rotating until the grounding plate 34a faces downward. The direction of the pad 34 can always be maintained in a state where the protrusion 34d is in contact with the ground.

When the ground plate 34 a needs to be grounded in the subsequent work of the backhoe loader 1, the operator rotates the regulating member 44 to a position (non-contact position) perpendicular to the axis of the support shaft 38. Perform the operation. By such an operation, the stabilizer pad 34 does not come into contact with the regulating member 44, and the stabilizer pad 34 can be rotated around the pivot shaft 35 again. Thus, the stabilizer pad 34 returns to the state in which the ground plate 34a is directed downward by its own weight.

By enabling the operation mode as described above, the rotation of the stabilizer pad 34 can be regulated by a simple operation of rotating the regulating member 44, and the operability of the stabilizer 30 can be improved. Further, in the present embodiment, when the rotation due to the weight of the stabilizer pad 34 is restricted, the operator does not need to use a tool and the operation is simple.

As described above, the rotation restricting mechanism 70 of the present embodiment rotates at the end of the support shaft 38 between the contact position for restricting the rotation of the stabilizer pad 34 and the non-contact position for releasing the restriction. A restricting member 44 that can be attached is provided.

With this configuration, when the stabilizer 30 is rotated downward about the pivot shaft 37, it can be grounded on the non-slip processed surface (the projection 34d faces downward). Further, when the stabilizer 30 is raised when the backhoe loader 1 moves or interrupts the work in this state, the rotation of the stabilizer pad 34 is regulated by contacting the regulating member 44. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the stabilizer pad 34 from being inverted by rotating until the ground plate 34a faces downward. Further, the stabilizer pad 34 can be held in the position state by a simple operation by simply rotating the regulating member 44.

Further, the rotation restricting mechanism 70 of the present embodiment is provided with disc springs 47 and 48 as elastic members for holding the restricting member 44 in the rotating position in the rotating portion.

With this configuration, the operator can rotate the regulating member 44 with an appropriate operating force. Further, the regulating member 44 can be held in a stable state at an arbitrary rotation position.

In the present embodiment, the restricting member 44 is provided at the front end of the support shaft 38, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the restriction member can be provided at the rear end of the support shaft or at the front and rear ends.

Next, the configuration of the stabilizer 230 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The stabilizer 230 includes a rotation restricting mechanism 700 instead of the rotation restricting mechanism 70 of the stabilizer 130.
The main differences between the rotation restriction mechanism 700 and the rotation restriction mechanism 70 are that (1) restriction means for restricting the rotation of the restriction member 440 is provided at the contact position and the non-contact position, respectively. (2) The torsion spring 300 that biases the regulating member 440 toward the contact position is provided on the support shaft 38.
In the following description, substantially the same members as those of the stabilizer 30 and the stabilizer 130 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 8, the rotation restricting mechanism 700 is configured by substantially the same member as the rotation restricting mechanism 70 according to the second embodiment.
The restricting member 440 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal plate shape as a means for restricting the turning of the restricting member 440 between the contact position and the non-contact position. Through-hole 440h is formed. However, the means for restricting the rotation of the restricting member 440 so as to rotate between the contact position and the non-contact position is not particularly limited to this. For example, a stopper such as a pin is provided. Also good.

The regulating member 440 is rotatably supported by the end portion of the support shaft 38 (a portion protruding forward of the leg body 32). More specifically, a through hole is opened in a portion of the support shaft 38 that protrudes from the leg 32 in a direction perpendicular to the shaft center, and a bolt 45 is inserted into the through hole, a washer 46, an end of the support shaft 38, a washer 50, The torsion spring 300 and the through hole 440 h of the restricting member 440 are inserted in this order, and are fastened and fixed by the nut 51. At this time, a step is provided in the portion of the bolt 45 that engages with the washer 50 and the nut 51 to prevent the bolt 45 from coming off.

One end of the torsion spring 330 is locked to the lower base 440b of the regulating member 440. On the other hand, the other end of the torsion spring is locked to the leg body 32.

Thus, by inserting the torsion spring 300 together with the regulating member 440 into the bolt 45 and attaching it to the support shaft 38, the regulating member 440 can always be urged to the contact position. That is, when a force is applied in a direction to change the position of the restricting member 440 to the non-contact position side, the restricting member 440 is rotated about the through hole 440h, but when the force is not applied, the restricting member 440 is biased by the torsion spring 300 and returned to the original contact position.

Thus, the operator can change the restriction member 440 at the contact position to the non-contact position by applying a predetermined force to the restriction member 440.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the protrusion 34d of the stabilizer pad 34 is grounded, the operator rotates the stabilizer pad 34 counterclockwise about the pivot shaft 35 so that the ground plate 34a faces upward. Set to the position state. In the middle of this turning operation, the bottom plate 34c of the stabilizer pad 34 comes into contact with the regulating member 440 at the contact position. When the stabilizer pad 34 is further rotated, the regulating member 440 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 9 against the urging force of the torsion spring 300 and is changed to the non-contact position. Thus, the bottom plate 34c and the ground plate 34a pass through the regulating member 440 in order.

When the grounding plate 34a of the stabilizer pad 34 passes, the regulating member 440 in the non-contact position is urged by the torsion spring 300, rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 9, and returns to the contact position. As a result, even if the stabilizer 230 is turned up and down or the stabilizer pad 34 is turned in the opposite direction, the ground plate 34a comes into contact with the regulating member 440. Since the restricting member 440 in the contact position does not rotate counterclockwise in FIG. 9, it is possible to restrict further rotation of the stabilizer pad 34 (see the arrow in FIG. 10B). In this way, even when the stabilizer 230 is rotated downward from the state in which the backhoe loader 1 is moved, the stabilizer pad 34 can be restricted from rotating until the grounding plate 34a faces downward. The direction of the pad 34 can always be maintained in a state where the protrusion 34d is in contact with the ground.

Further, when it becomes necessary to ground the grounding plate 34a in the subsequent work of the backhoe loader 1, the operator performs an operation of rotating the stabilizer pad 34 about the pivot shaft 35 in the clockwise direction in FIG. At this time, the operator can pass the stabilizer pad 34 by manually rotating the regulating member 440 clockwise in FIG. 9 and changing it to the non-contact position. After passing through the regulating member 440, the ground plate 34a of the stabilizer pad 34 is in a state of facing downward due to its own weight.

With the above configuration, the rotation of the stabilizer pad 34 can be restricted with a simple structure, and the operability of the stabilizer 230 can be improved. Further, in the present embodiment, when the grounding surface of the stabilizer pad 34 is changed from a flat surface (grounding plate 34a) to a non-slip processed surface (projecting portion 34d), the turning operation of the regulating member 440 becomes unnecessary. The operation becomes simpler.

As described above, the restriction member 440 of the present embodiment is provided with restriction means for restricting the rotation of the restriction member 440 at the contact position and the non-contact position, and the restriction member 440 rotates in the contact direction. Thus, the torsion spring 300 as an elastic member for biasing is provided in the rotating portion.

With this configuration, it is possible to limit the rotation in the reverse direction while allowing the regulation member 440 to rotate toward the non-contact position side. As a result, the stabilizer pad 34 is allowed to turn to the side where the ground plate 34a faces upward. Once the stabilizer pad 34 is turned upward, the stabilizer pad 34 abuts against the regulating member 440 and the rotation is restricted. Is done. Therefore, the rotation operation of the restricting member 440 for holding the grounding plate 34a of the stabilizer pad 34 in an upward state is not necessary. As a result, the work burden on the operator is reduced.

The present invention is used for a stabilizer (outrigger) that is installed in a work machine such as a backhoe and used for stabilization during work.
