Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of components for operating machinery, and in particular to a pipe passage plate device for operating machinery and operating machinery including the pipe passage plate device. Background Technology

[0002] Construction machinery may be configured with different equipment depending on the requirements. For example, a grader typically has a ripper mounted on the rear end plate 10' of its rear frame; therefore, the rear end plate 10' may have various... Figure 1 The diagram shows a pipe-through device including a rigid pipe 1' and a mounting plate 2', used to connect the ripper's control oil circuit. The rigid pipe 1' passes through the mounting hole on the mounting plate 2' and is fixed to the mounting plate 2' by welding. After the mounting plate 2' is fixed to the rear sealing plate 10' with fasteners, one end of the rigid pipe 1' protrudes through the rear sealing plate 10' to connect to the ripper's end oil circuit, and the other end of the rigid pipe 1' connects to the control oil circuit system of the working machinery. Without the ripper installed, a counterweight 7' or a towing frame can be added.

[0003] However, in existing pipe-to-plate devices, the rigid pipe 1' protrudes beyond the rear sealing plate 10'. When a counterweight 7' is added to the rear sealing plate 10', such as... Figure 1 As shown, a notch 71' needs to be cut into the counterweight 7' to avoid interference with the rigid tube 1'. Both welding the rigid tube 1' and pre-cutting the notch on the counterweight 7' increase manufacturing costs. Moreover, when the rear end plate 10' is not equipped with any equipment, the rigid tube 1' protruding from the rear end plate 10' is at risk of being damaged by impact. In addition, the rear end plates of the rear frame of different models have different thicknesses, and welding the rigid tube requires designing different lengths for different plate thicknesses, resulting in poor versatility.

Therefore, the following aspects, features, embodiments, and advantages are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as elements or limitations of the claims unless expressly set forth in the claims.

[0027] The terms "first" and "second" are used below to describe the elements of this application. These terms are used only to distinguish the individual elements and not to limit the nature, order, or number of these elements. The terms "comprising" and "having" are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion and mean that there may be additional elements / components besides those listed.

[0028] Figure 2 A partial perspective view of a working machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. The working machine in this embodiment is a grader. Figure 2 As shown, the working machinery includes a plate-shaped component 10, a working implement 6 (in this embodiment, a ripper) mounted on the plate-shaped component 10, and a pipeline through-plate device. The plate-shaped component 10 can be any frame component suitable for mounting working implements, towing frames, counterweights, etc., such as the rear end plate of a rear frame. The working implement 6 needs to be controlled via a control hydraulic circuit; therefore, a through hole 101 is provided on the plate-shaped component 10, and the pipeline through-plate device is provided at the through hole 101 to provide a reserved interface for the control hydraulic circuit to pass through the plate-shaped component 10.

[0029] Figure 3 and Figure 4 It shows Figure 2 A pipe-through device is installed on the plate-shaped member 10, and a first pipe 20 is connected to the pipe-through device. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the pipeline plate device in this embodiment may include a connector component 1, a mounting plate 2, a connector nut 3, and a fastener 4.

[0030] The mounting plate 2 is generally rectangular in shape, and has a first mounting hole 21 and a second mounting hole 22. The first mounting hole 21 is closer to the center of the mounting plate 2 than the second mounting hole 22. The connector member 1 extends from the first side of the mounting plate 2 ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 (Left side) passes through the first mounting hole 21 and through the connector nut 3 from the second side of the mounting plate 2 opposite to the first side ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting plate 2 (on the right side) is fixed to the mounting plate 2. Fastener 4 passes through the second mounting hole 22 and connects to the plate member 10, thereby fixing the mounting plate 2 to the plate member 10. In this embodiment, the fastener 4 is a screw, which can be screwed into the threaded hole on the plate member 10 through the washer 41 and the second mounting hole 22 of the mounting plate 2 in sequence. It is understood that the fastener 4 can also be a bolt, which, in conjunction with a nut on the other side, fixes the mounting plate 2 to the plate member 10.

[0031] With the mounting plate 2 fixed to the plate-shaped member 10, the first mounting hole 21 corresponds to the position of the through hole 101, so that the portion of the connector member 1 located on the first side of the mounting plate 2 can be disposed within the through hole 101. Thus, when the length of the portion of the connector member 1 on the first side of the mounting plate 2 away from the connector nut 3 is set to be less than the thickness of the plate-shaped member 10, this portion can be fully accommodated within the through hole 101.

[0032] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connector member 1 may include a first segment 11 and a second segment 12 connected to each other. The first segment 11 and the second segment 12 are each cylindrical, and preferably integrally formed. The diameter of the first segment 11 is less than or equal to the diameter of the first mounting hole 21. The diameter of the second segment 12 is greater than the diameter of the first mounting hole 21. That is, the diameter of the second segment 12 is greater than the diameter of the first segment 11, thereby forming a stepped surface at the connection between the first segment 11 and the second segment 12. The first segment 11 passes through the first mounting hole 21 from the first side of the mounting plate 2, and this stepped surface can abut against the first side surface of the mounting plate 2. The portion of the first segment 11 that passes through the mounting plate 2 and protrudes from the second side surface of the mounting plate 2 may be provided with external threads for threaded connection with the connector nut 3. The length of the second segment 12 is less than the thickness of the plate member 10, thereby allowing the second segment 12 to be integrally accommodated within the through hole 101. The connector member 1 is preferably a standard threaded pipe connector, that is, both ends of the connector member 1 have standardized threads. In practical applications, a joint member 1 with an appropriate length can be selected based on the thickness of the plate member 10.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pipe-through-plate device further includes a first connector 51, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown. The first connector 51 is generally elongated cylindrical and has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and an extension connecting the first end and the second end. The first connector 51 can be extended from the first side of the plate member 10 away from the mounting plate 2 ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first connector 51 extends into the through hole 101 from the left side of the first connector 11, and its first end near the mounting plate 2 has external threads. The end of the second connector 12 opposite to the first connector 11 has internal threads. Thus, the first connector 51 can be detachably (threadedly connected) to the connector member 1 in the through hole 101 via its first end.

[0034] The second end of the first connector 51 extends beyond the through hole 101 of the plate member 10 and is used to connect to the pipe connector 201 of the first pipeline 20. For example, the second end of the first connector 51 may have external threads, and the pipe connector 201 of the first pipeline 20 may have internal threads, so that the pipe connector 201 of the first pipeline 20 can be threadedly connected to the second end of the first connector 51. The first connector 51 is preferably a standard threaded pipe connector.

[0035] Figure 5 A partial perspective view of a working machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, a counterweight 7 is mounted on the plate-shaped member 10 of the working machine. Figure 5 Only a portion of the counterweight 7 is shown, namely the mounting structure for mounting the counterweight 7 to the plate-like member 10. This mounting structure may include a plate-shaped mounting portion and two connecting lugs extending from the mounting portion to one side and arranged side-by-side. The mounting portion can be mounted to the plate-like member 10 using fasteners (e.g., bolts), and the two connecting lugs can be used to connect other components of the counterweight 7. The counterweight 7 does not require hydraulic control, therefore its mounting portion can cover the through-hole 101 of the plate-like member 10, as... Figure 7 As shown. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The relative positional relationship between the mounting structure of counterweight 7 and the pipe-through plate device is also shown.

[0036] In this embodiment, the pipe-through-plate device may further include a plug 52, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown. As described above in conjunction with the first embodiment, the end of the second segment 12 of the connector member 1 facing away from the first segment 11 may have internal threads. The plug 52 may have external threads, thereby allowing the plug 52 to be detachably (i.e., threadedly connected) fixed to the second segment 12 within the through hole 101, thus sealing the internal passage of the connector member 1. After the plug 52 is fixed to the connector member 1, the sum of the length of the portion of the plug 52 extending beyond the second segment 12 and the length of the second segment 12 is less than or equal to the thickness of the plate member 10. Therefore, the plug 52 is also accommodated within the through hole 101 after being connected to the second segment 12, thereby avoiding interference with the mounting portion of the counterweight 7.

[0037] refer to Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in the first and second embodiments of this utility model, the pipe-through-plate device may further include a second connector 53. In this embodiment, the second connector 53 is an angle-adjustable connector, one end of which is detachably connected (e.g., by a threaded connection or a compression fitting) to the end of the first section 11 facing away from the second section 12, and the other end is connected to the pipe connector 301 of the second pipe 30. The two ends of this angle-adjustable connector can be at a 90-degree angle, thereby adapting to the extension direction of the second pipe 30 and avoiding installation difficulties caused by mismatch between the extension directions of the pipe-through-plate device and the second pipe 30.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the control oil circuit of the working tool 6 is provided with two first pipes 20 and two second pipes 30. Correspondingly, the mounting plate 2 is provided with two first mounting holes 21, and there are also two corresponding connector components 1 and connector nuts 3. One connector component 1 is used to connect one first pipe 20 and the corresponding second pipe 30 to form an inlet pipe. The other connector component 1 is used to connect the other first pipe 20 and the corresponding second pipe 30 to form an outlet pipe. The inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are respectively connected to the rod chamber and the rodless chamber of the control cylinder to control the piston rod to extend or retract in the cylinder, thereby actuating the working tool 6.

[0039] This utility model also provides a working machine that includes the above-mentioned pipeline plate device.

[0040] Industrial applicability

[0041] The pipe-through plate device according to this utility model is suitable for operating machinery that can be installed on one of many types of equipment, and is particularly suitable for graders that can be equipped with rippers, counterweights, and towing frames. However, it should be understood that the pipe-through plate device according to this utility model can also be used in other operating machinery that requires the use of control oil circuits through plate-shaped members to actuate operating tools.

[0042] by Figures 2 to 7Taking the pipe-through plate device shown as an example, during assembly, the connector member 1 is first passed through the first mounting hole 21 from the first side of the mounting plate 2, so that the stepped surface of the connector member 1 abuts against the first side surface of the mounting plate 2. The connector nut 3 is threaded from the second side of the mounting plate 2 to the external thread of the connector member 1, thereby fixing the connector member 1 to the mounting plate 2. Then, with the second section 12 of the connector member 1 inserted into the through hole 101, the fastener 4 is passed through the gasket 41 and the second mounting hole 22 of the mounting plate 2 and connected to the plate member 10, thereby fixing the pipe-through plate device to the plate member 10. The second connector 53 can be connected to the external thread of the first section 11 before or after the mounting plate 2 is fixed to the plate member 10, for connecting the pipe connector 301 of the second pipe 30.

[0043] When choosing to install the work tool 6 on the plate member 10, the first connector 51 can be threaded onto the second section 12 of the connector member 1. Then, the pipe connector 201 of the first pipeline 20 can be connected to the corresponding first connector 51.

[0044] If the counterweight 7 is to be installed on the plate member 10, the plug 52 must be threaded onto the second section 12 of the joint member 1 to seal the internal passage of the joint member 1. Then, the counterweight 7 can be installed on the plate member 10.

[0045] As described above, in the pipe-through-plate device of this utility model, the connector member 1 is detachably fixed to the mounting plate 2 by the connector nut 3. The length of the connector member 1 is set such that when the mounting plate 2 is connected to the plate-shaped member 10, the portion of the connector member 1 on the side of the mounting plate 2 opposite to the connector nut 3 is entirely accommodated within the through hole 101 of the plate-shaped member 10. Compared with the prior art, the pipe-through-plate device of this utility model does not require welding of rigid pipes, and does not require reserving clearance gaps on these devices when assembling the counterweight 7 or the traction frame, thereby reducing costs. Even when no equipment is assembled, there is no risk of collision because the connector member 1 does not protrude from the plate-shaped member 10.

[0046] In addition, the pipe-passing plate device of this utility model can select joint components 1 of different lengths according to the thickness of the plate-shaped components 10 of different models, which has better versatility than welded rigid pipes.

[0047] Various modifications and variations can be made to the embodiments disclosed above without departing from the scope or spirit of this invention. Other embodiments of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art based on the practice of this invention disclosed in this specification. This specification and the examples disclosed herein should be considered illustrative only, and the true scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
