Стрела экскаватора

Номер: RU0000187191U1
Автор: Андрей Вячеславович Зазыкин, Константин Витовтович Рулис, Никита Антонович Иванов, Сергей Васильевич Репин
Принадлежит: Федеральное государственное бюджетное образовательное учреждение высшего образования "Санкт-Петербургский государственный архитектурно-строительный университет"

Полезная модель относится к машинам для земляных работ циклического действия, в частности, к рабочему оборудованию одноковшового экскаватора, и может быть использована для копания, забора и разрыхления грунта вдоль каких-либо сооружений. Техническая задача - обеспечение копания под углом к оси экскаватора с возможностью поворота верхней части стрелы на угол более 90°, что позволяет расширить технологические возможности экскаватора. Поставленная задача решается тем, что стрела экскаватора, выполненная из двух частей, корневой 1 и верхней 2, соединенных с возможностью копания под углом к оси экскаватора шарниром поворота верхней части 2 относительно корневой 1 в направлении поперечном оси стрелы, снабжена шарнирным механизмом поворота верхней части 2 стрелы на угол более 90°, состоящим из вала 3 и втулки 4, где вал 3 снабжен закрепленным на корневой части 1 стрелы приводом 5 от гидромотора-редуктора с тормозным механизмом и конической зубчатой передачей 6, а крутящий момент от вала 3 на верхнюю часть 1 стрелы передается через шлицевое соединение 7. Таким образом, заявляемая полезная модель позволяет обеспечить передачу крутящего момента от привода 5 с конической зубчатой передачей 6 на верхнюю часть 2 стрелы с возможностью ее поворота на угол более 90°, что приводит к расширению технологических возможностей экскаватора. 2 ил.

A reaction force upon work accompanying extension of the fluid-supplied cylinder increases the rod-side pressure of the boom cylinder and reduces a head-side pressure. The flow-rate-limiting section limits a supply flow rate to a head-side fluid chamber of the boom cylinder only during a boom-raising-operation with the rod-side pressure higher than the head-side pressure in the boom cylinder. The anti-cavitation circuit replenishes hydraulic fluid from a tank to the head-side fluid chamber. 1.

What is presented is a thawing system for thermally heating an undercarriage of a machine, with the machine having an engine and a track frame. This thawing system comprises a heating element and thawing line. The heating element is powered independently from the engine, produces thermal energy for the thawing system, and can be activated and/or stay activated when the engine is not active. The thawing line is connected to the heating element, adapted to spread thermal energy from the heating element throughout the undercarriage of the machine, and is isolated from the engine. The thawing line extends from the heating element to the undercarriage of the machine via a channel, which is in the machine. Thermal energy is produced and delivered to the undercarriage of the machine when the heating element is activated.

In several aspects, a system and associated method may be used to estimate a load weight carried by an implement of a work vehicle. In doing so, the system and method may allow for the implement load weight to be estimated by taking into account operator-initiated control commands that may impact the accuracy or reliability of the estimated weight. 1. A method for estimating load weights for an implement of a work vehicle , the method comprising:controlling, with one or more computing devices, movement of a boom of the work vehicle such that the boom is moved across a range of angular positions, the implement being coupled to the boom;receiving, with the one or more computing devices, load-related data associated with a load weight for the implement as the boom is moved across the range of angular positions;receiving, with the one or more computing devices, operator-initiated control commands associated with controlling an operation of at least one component of the work vehicle as the boom is moved across the range of angular positions;identifying, with the one or more computing devices, an operational period occurring as the boom is moved across the range of angular positions during which a variation in the operator-initialed control commands exceeds a variation threshold, the one or more computing devices receiving a data subset of the load-related data during the operational period; andcalculating, with the one or more computing devices, the load weight for the implement based on the load-related data received as the boom is moved across the range of angular positions less the data subset of the load-related data received during the operational period.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operator-initiated control commands comprise control commands for controlling the operation of a boom cylinder of the work vehicle claim 1 , the boom cylinder configured to raise and lower the boom.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operator-initiated control commands ...

A quick coupler which features a safety mechanism which facilitates ease of use and assures safe use in the workplace by use of hydraulic circuits designed to automatically reset the safety locking mechanism on intentional removal of a front pin, including use of a 2-line hydraulic supply to the coupler. 1. A method of engaging an attachment to a coupler body , including the steps of:a) engaging a front attachment pin within a coupler cavity of the coupler body, lowering the coupler body to contact a rear attachment pin such that a safety knuckle of the coupler locks over the attachment;b) extending a primary wedge up the coupler body to lock the rear attachment pin;c) actuating a lockout switch to build hydraulic pressure.2. A method of detaching an attachment from a coupler body , including the steps of:a) actuating a lockout switch to build hydraulic pressure;b) retracting a safety knuckle thereby releasing a front attachment pin, permitting the safety knuckle to reset to a ready position automatically;c) retracting a primary wedge thereby releasing a rear attachment pin.3. A coupler to link an attachment to a motorized vehicle , the coupler including:a) a coupler body having a front hook capable of engaging a front attachment pin;b) a safety knuckle housed within the front hook, the safety knuckle being capable of moving from a non retracted position to a retracted position to permit the front attachment pin to enter the front hook, and then returning to a non retracted position to secure the front attachment pin;c) a wedge capable of slidingly engaging a rear attachment pin;d) an actuator and valve set activated by motion of the front attachment pin into the front hook, capable of storing hydraulic energy to assist and release of the safety knuckle.
