Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of loading technology, and more particularly to front loading. Background Technology

[0002] The position indicator post is an important component of the front-loading machine. When operating the front-loading machine, the operator's view is often obstructed by the tractor cab, making it impossible to see the working position and status of the bucket. This affects the operator's efficiency in scooping or lifting materials and reduces the ease of use of the bucket. The position indicator post allows the operator to easily observe the marked positions on the post, constantly monitoring the bucket's location and status, thus improving the efficiency of the front-loading machine.

[0003] The current position indicator structure is as follows: The position indicator structure includes a guide post and a support sleeve. The guide post can move within the support sleeve. When the top of the guide post moves to be flush with the end of the support sleeve, it indicates that the bucket is in a material-scooping state at ground level. When the bucket continues to rotate downwards to unload, the top of the guide post moves into the support sleeve, making it impossible to observe the marked position and thus impossible to determine the bucket's status, affecting the use of the front-loading mechanism.

[0004] Therefore, preloading is urgently needed to address the technical problems existing in the current technology to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0043] The existing positioning rod structure includes a guide post and a support sleeve. The guide post can move within the support sleeve. When the top of the guide post moves to be flush with the end of the support sleeve, it indicates that the bucket 1 is in a material-scooping state at the ground level 104. When the bucket 1 continues to rotate downwards to unload material, the top of the guide post moves into the support sleeve. However, after the top of the guide post moves into the support sleeve, the operator cannot observe the specific position of the top of the guide post inside the support sleeve, which will lead to the inability to observe the marked position and thus the inability to determine the state of the bucket 1, thereby affecting the use of the front loading mechanism. Based on this, this application provides a front loading mechanism, which is described below in conjunction with... Figures 1-5 This preloading process will be described in detail.

[0044] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the front loading includes a bucket 1, a linkage assembly 2 connected to the bucket 1, and a drive assembly 3 connected to the linkage assembly 2; the drive assembly 3 can drive the bucket 1 to rotate by driving the linkage assembly 2, that is, the bucket 1 can pick up or unload materials.

[0045] Still combined Figure 1As shown, the front loading also includes an indicator assembly; the indicator assembly includes an indicator part 401, a calibration part 402, and a support part 403. One end of the indicator part 401 is connected to the linkage assembly 2, and the other end extends in a direction parallel to the drive assembly 3 and is fixed to the end of the drive assembly 3 away from the linkage assembly 2 through the support part 403. The calibration part 402 is positioned on the indicator part 401 corresponding to the support part 403 when the drive assembly 3 drives the bucket 1 parallel to the ground 104. In other words, with the bucket 1 parallel to the ground 104 as a reference, the calibration part 402 is positioned on the indicator part 401 corresponding to the support part 403. In actual use, when the drive assembly 3 drives the linkage assembly 2 to swing, since one end of the indicator part 401 is connected to the linkage assembly 2, the indicator part 401 will swing along with the linkage assembly 2. Since the other end of the indicator part 401 is supported by the support part 403 on the end of the drive assembly 3 away from the linkage assembly 2, and the indicator part 401 is parallel to the extension direction of the drive assembly 3, the calibration part 402 on the indicator part 401 will have a positional change relative to the support part 403 when the drive assembly 3 drives the linkage assembly 2 to swing. By observing the relative positional change between the calibration part 402 and the support part 403 and the amount of the change, the state of the bucket 1 can be determined. Furthermore, when the bottom of the bucket 1 is parallel to the ground 104 (in preparation for removing material from the stockpile 103), the calibration part 402 corresponds precisely to the position of the support part 403, so that... Figure 1 For example, when the drive assembly 3 drives the linkage assembly 2 to swing clockwise, it will cause the bucket 1 to swing clockwise, and at the same time, it will also cause the indicator 401 to swing clockwise. When the indicator 401 swings clockwise, it will move in an upward direction, which will cause the calibration part 402 to be located above the support part 403. Similarly, when the drive assembly 3 drives the linkage assembly 2 to swing counterclockwise, it will cause the bucket 1 to swing counterclockwise, and at the same time, it will also cause the indicator 401 to swing counterclockwise. When the indicator 401 swings counterclockwise, it will move in a downward direction, which will cause the calibration part 402 to be located below the support part 403. Therefore, in actual use, by observing the relative position of the calibration part 402 and the support part 403, the rotation state of the bucket 1 can be determined.

[0046] It is worth noting that the above swinging motion can also be understood as a rotational motion, but the rotation is within a certain angular range and cannot achieve a 180° rotation.

[0047] In summary, without affecting the function and performance of other components, this application adopts a structure of calibration part 402 and support part 403. The relative positions of calibration part 402 and support part 403 are exposed throughout the entire working stroke of bucket 1. Compared with the existing guide rods that move inside the guide sleeve and cannot be observed by the operator, this application makes it easier for the operator to observe and judge the status of bucket 1 based on the position. Furthermore, the marked position can be observed throughout the entire working cycle of bucket 1, thus improving the efficiency of front loading.

[0048] In this embodiment, further combined Figure 1 As shown, the indicator part 401 is an indicator rod 404, which can optionally be a cold-drawn tube. The first end of the indicator rod 404 is connected to the linkage assembly 2, and the second end extends along the length direction parallel to the drive assembly 3, and is supported by the support part 403 at the end of the drive assembly 3 away from the linkage assembly 2. When the drive assembly 3 drives the linkage assembly 2 to swing clockwise, it will cause the bucket 1 to swing clockwise, and at the same time, it will also cause the indicator rod 404 to swing clockwise. When the indicator rod 404 swings clockwise, it will move in an upward direction, which will cause the calibration part 402 to be located above the support part 403. Similarly, when the drive assembly 3 drives the linkage assembly 2 to swing counterclockwise, it will cause the bucket 1 to swing counterclockwise, and at the same time, it will also cause the indicator rod 404 to swing counterclockwise. When the indicator rod 404 swings counterclockwise, it will move in a downward direction, which will cause the calibration part 402 to be located below the support part 403.

[0049] In this embodiment, further, combined with Figures 1-4 As shown, the support part 403 includes a clamp 405 and a support rod 406. The clamp 405 includes two semi-circular retaining rings 407. The two semi-circular retaining rings 407 are opposite each other and can form a retaining space. The retaining space can be fitted onto the end of the drive assembly 3 away from the connecting rod assembly 2, and the clamp 405 can be fixed to the end of the drive assembly 3 away from the connecting rod assembly 2 through the first connector 408.

[0050] Specifically, each end of the retaining ring 407 extends outward with connecting ears. The connecting ears of the two retaining rings 407 are positioned opposite each other. The first connecting member 408 passes through the connecting ears, thereby fixing the two retaining rings 407 onto the drive assembly 3. Further, the first connecting member 408 includes an adjusting bolt and an adjusting nut. The adjusting bolt passes through the two connecting ears of the two retaining rings 407 in sequence, and the adjusting nut is screwed onto the adjusting bolt to fix the two retaining rings 407.

[0051] The support rod 406 has a fixed end 409 and a sleeve end 410 at its two ends along its axial direction. The fixed end 409 of the support rod 406 is fixedly connected to one of the retaining rings 407 at a first preset angle. Optionally, the fixed end 409 of the support rod 406 is welded to one of the retaining rings 407 at the first preset angle. Alternatively, the first preset angle is 90°, that is, the fixed end 409 of the support rod 406 is perpendicular to the top of the semi-circular retaining ring 407. In addition, the sleeve end 410 is sleeved on the end of the indicator rod 404 that is away from the connecting rod assembly 2.

[0052] Specifically, the end of the support rod 406 facing away from the clamp 405 is bent into a circular structure 411. The circular structure 411 can serve as a sleeve end 410 and is sleeved on the end of the indicator rod 404 facing away from the connecting rod assembly 2. That is, in actual use, when the drive assembly 3 drives the bucket 1 to move through the drive connecting rod assembly 2, the first end of the indicator rod 404 swings with the connecting rod assembly 2, while the second end can move obliquely upward or downward within the circular structure 411. This allows the state of the bucket 1 to be determined by observing the relative position change between the calibration part 402 and the circular structure 411.

[0053] Furthermore, the contact surface between the indicator 401 and the circular structure 411 refers to the position of the circular structure 411 facing the indicator 401 and corresponding to the indicator 401. Compared to existing guide rods located inside the guide sleeve, the contact surface between the indicator 401 and the circular structure 411 in this application is smaller. This smaller contact surface design, compared to existing designs where the guide rod might break inside the guide sleeve if the bucket 1 swings too much, prevents the indicator 401 from moving within the circular structure 411, thus avoiding excessive interference from the circular structure 411 and preventing the indicator 401 from breaking. In addition, the circular structure 411 not only serves for comparative observation but also provides support for the indicator rod 404.

[0054] In this embodiment, optionally, the calibration part 402 is a reflective strip 412; the reflective strip 412 is affixed to the position of the circular structure 411 on the indicator rod 404 when the drive assembly 3 drives the bucket 1 parallel to the ground 104.

[0055] In this embodiment, optionally, the calibration part 402 is a paint layer; the paint layer is applied to the position of the circular structure 411 on the indicator rod 404 when the drive assembly 3 drives the bucket 1 parallel to the ground 104.

[0056] In this embodiment, further, combined with Figure 1As shown, the linkage assembly 2 includes a first linkage 201 and a second linkage 202; wherein one end of the first linkage 201 and one end of the second linkage 202 are hinged by a first pin 203; wherein the end of the first linkage 201 opposite to the second linkage 202 is hinged to the bucket 1 by a second pin 204; wherein the end of the second linkage 202 opposite to the first linkage 201 is hinged to the drive assembly 3 by a third pin 205.

[0057] Specifically, the linkage assembly 2 also includes an auxiliary plate 101 and a fourth pin 206; wherein the auxiliary plate 101 is fixedly connected to the bucket 1, one end of the first link 201 and the second link 202 are hinged by the first pin 203, the end of the first link 201 away from the second link 202 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary plate 101 by the second pin 204, the end of the second link 202 away from the first link 201 is hinged to the drive assembly 3 by the third pin 205, and the end of the auxiliary plate 101 is connected to the drive assembly 3 by the fourth pin 206. That is, the first link 201, the second link 202, the auxiliary plate 101 and the drive assembly 3 between the third pin 205 and the fourth pin 206 together constitute a four-bar linkage structure.

[0058] Specifically, the first end of the indicator rod 404 is connected to the end of the first pin 203 via the second connector 413, and the other end of the indicator rod 404 can pass through the circular structure 411. In particular, it is still combined with... Figure 1 As shown, the indicator rod 404 includes a main body 414 and a bent portion 415 that can serve as a first end; the bent portion 415 is connected to the main body 414 at a second preset angle at the end of the main body 414 away from the support rod 406; a second connector 413 passes through the bent portion 415 and connects the bent portion 415 to the end of the first pin 203. Optionally, the second preset angle is 90°.

[0059] Furthermore, the second connector 413 includes a connecting bolt, a hexagonal nut 417, and a locking nut 418. The connecting bolt passes through the bend 415 and is fixed to the end of the first pin 203 by the hexagonal nut 417, which prevents the connecting bolt from loosening. The locking nut 418 is screwed onto the shank 419 of the connecting bolt, and there is a space between it and the head 416 of the connecting bolt. That is, the indicator rod 404 is fitted onto the shank 419 of the connecting bolt located in the space, and can rotate around the shank 419 of the connecting bolt, so that the body 414 of the indicator rod 404 can always be parallel to the drive assembly 3.

[0060] In summary, the indicator rod 404 is installed at the end of the first pin 203 by connecting bolts, hexagonal nuts 417 and locking nuts 418, and the whole structure is simple.

[0061] In this embodiment, further, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a hydraulic cylinder 301 and a drive arm 302; wherein, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 301 is hinged to the first pin 203; one end of the drive arm 302 is hinged to the fixed end 409 of the hydraulic cylinder 301 through a transition plate 303 and a fifth pin 304; the other end of the drive arm 302 is hinged to the end of the second connecting rod 202 away from the first connecting rod 201; in addition, the auxiliary plate 101 is also hinged to the end of the drive arm 302 through a fourth pin 206.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
