Description

Technical field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to heating channel arrangements for the front wall of a tilting body, as well as systems, components and methods thereof. background

[0002] Conventionally, a rear-loading truck can use the exhaust gases from its internal combustion engine to heat the inner surfaces of its tipper body. The exhaust gas can be routed through the structure of the tipper body to warm the interior surfaces where material inside the body might temporarily freeze during normal operation. Such exhaust routing can begin at the front of the tipper body and end at the rear. Furthermore, in certain cases, structures and / or supports must be added to facilitate this heating, which can result in additional weight for the tipper body and, consequently, the rear-loading truck.

[0003] US Patent US 2012 / 0169109A1 (“Publication '109”) describes a system and method for heating a tipper body. Publication '109 describes that the tipper body comprises a front panel connected to the floor and side walls, the front panel having one or more supports formed within it. According to Publication '109, the supports generally form rectangular and hollow channels or passages in the front panel and allow air to flow through the tipper body. Publication '109 also describes that the supports can be made of a suitable conductive material capable of transferring heat from air or liquid flowing through the supports, and that exhaust air from an engine can be routed through the support and flow through the tipper body instead of being expelled directly through a conventional exhaust system.

[0008] Further features and aspects of this revelation will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings. Brief description of the drawings Fig. Figure 1 is a side view of a machine according to embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. Fig. Figure 2 is a front and side view of a tipping body according to an embodiment of the disclosed item. Fig. Figure 3 shows a front wall of a tipping structure according to embodiments of the disclosed object. Detailed description

[0009] With reference to the drawings and in particular to Fig. Figure 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a machine 10. The machine 10 may be a mobile machine that performs a specific activity in an industry such as mining, construction, or another industry known in engineering. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the machine 10 can be, for example, an earthmoving machine, in particular an all-terrain rear loader truck 10.

[0010] The machine 10 can have a tubular frame 20 supported by front wheels 14 and rear wheels 16 (including their respective tires). The front and rear wheels 14, 16 can be connected to the tubular frame 20 by front suspension elements or rear suspension systems. The machine 10 can also include a loading platform or superstructure 30 supported by the tubular frame 20. Such a loading platform or superstructure 30 can be referred to here as a tipper body 30. The tipper body 30 can be designed as a container for receiving conveyed goods.

[0011] A rear section 34 of the tipper body 30 can be pivotally connected to or attached to a section (including sections) at the rear 24 of the tubular frame 20. Sections of the tipper body 30 can be movably positioned between the rear section 34 and a front section 36 of the tipper body 30 relative to corresponding sections of the tubular frame 20 in order to support the tipper body 30 on the tubular frame 20 in a rest position. The rest position of the tipper body 30 can be considered the position of the tipper body 30 in which the front section 36 of the tipper body 30 is in its lowest position (i.e., not raised).The tipper body 30 can be pivoted at the rear section 34 around the rear 24 of the tubular frame 20 to raise or lower the section of the tipper body 30 in front of the pivot point (and thus move the section of the tipper body 30 behind the pivot point in the opposite direction). Such pivoting of the tipper body 30 to raise the front section 36 of the tipper body 30 can be used to unload contents from inside the tipper body 30. Likewise, pivoting the tipper body 30 to lower the front section 36 of the tipper body 30 into the rest position can be used to load the contents into the tipper body 30.

[0012] The machine 10 can have an operator's cab 18, which is supported by the tubular frame 20. The machine 10 can also be equipped with a steering mechanism and controls for moving the machine 10, as well as controls for raising and lowering the tipping body 30. The steering mechanism and controls can be located in the operator's cab 18 of the machine 10.

[0013] The machine 10 can be equipped with a drive unit (not explicitly shown) supported by a tubular frame 20. Generally, the drive unit can be housed in a compartment 21 of the tubular frame 20. The drive unit can be configured to drive the front and rear wheels 14, 16 in a forward or reverse direction. The drive unit can be oriented longitudinally along a direction of travel of the machine 10 on the tubular frame 20. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the drive unit can also be oriented transversely. In one exemplary embodiment, the drive unit can be an internal combustion engine, which may be, for example, a two-stroke or four-stroke diesel engine. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the drive unit can be any other type of internal combustion engine, such as a gasoline engine or an engine powered by gaseous fuel.The drive motor can be connected to the front and / or rear wheels 14, 16 via other components such as a drive train (not shown) to transmit the driving force and to move the front and / or rear wheels 14, 16 in a forward or reverse direction.

[0014] In general, a tubular frame according to embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, such as the tubular frame 20, can be a frame comprising structural elements connected to one another at nodes and / or joints. The structural elements can comprise hollow tubes and / or solid tubes, and in some cases, they can be connected according to a triangular structure. The structural elements can be made, for example, of metal, metal alloys, or reinforced composite materials. Elongated support elements according to embodiments of the disclosed subject matter can be in the form of rods and / or tubes, for example, circular, with some or all of the rods and / or tubes being solid or hollow. The tubular frame 20 and the corresponding joints can be designed as described in U.S. Application No. 16 / 664,009, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0015] With reference to Fig. 2 The tipping structure 30 can have a rear pivot support 310 on its base 35 and a pair of vertical support structures 370 of a support structure arrangement on its front wall 37.

[0016] The rear pivot support 310 can be provided on the rear section 34 of the tipper body 30, as shown in Fig. 2 shown. The rear pivot support 310 can have a pair of rear pivot points 311. The rear pivot points 311 can be spaced apart from each other in a lateral or lateral direction of the tipper body 30, as shown in Fig. 2 shown.

[0017] The rear pivot support 310 can be fixedly connected to the base 35 of the tipper body 30. For example, the rear pivot support 310 can be welded to the base 35 of the tipper body 30. In particular, according to one or more embodiments of the disclosed object, each rear pivot point 311 can be welded to a corresponding longitudinal support element 377 on the base of the tipper body 30. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, for example, each rear pivot point 311 can be welded in line with the corresponding longitudinal support element 377. Thus, the rear pivot point 311 can be considered part of the longitudinal support element 377 (i.e., integral and / or one piece with it). Additionally, transverse support elements 378 can be accommodated in recesses of the rear pivot points 311.

[0018] A support structure arrangement can be provided (e.g., fixedly mounted) on the front of the front wall 37 of the tipper body 30, wherein the front wall 37 lies between opposing side walls 38 of the tipper body 30 and extends from one end of a bottom wall 39 on the floor 35 of the tipper body 30. The support structure arrangement can consist of a pair of vertical support structures 370, which are attached to the front of the front wall 37, for example, by welding. The vertical support structures 370 can be spaced apart from one another in the lateral direction of the tipper body 30. According to one or more embodiments, the vertical support structures 370 can be centered on opposite sides of a vertical centerline of the tipper body 30 in a front view of the tipper body 30.

[0019] Optionally, the vertical support structures 370 can be hollow, elongated support elements. According to one or more embodiments, each of the vertical support structures 370 can be formed from formed sheet metal, for example, from several pieces of formed sheet metal. According to one or more embodiments, the vertical support structures 370 can consist of a plurality of vertical support structure sections. Optionally, a loading plate 372 can be provided between sections of the vertical support structures 370, for example, for manufacturing purposes (i.e., placement of the lower sections of the vertical support structures 370, which form downward-facing contact surfaces 371). Fig. Figure 3 shows, for example, a loading plate 372 that separates the lower sections of the vertical support structures 370, which form downward-facing contact surfaces 371, from the respective upper sections of the vertical support structures 370.

[0020] The vertical support structures 370 can be vertical at least in the front view of the tipper body 30. Depending on the configuration of the front wall 37 of the tipper body 30, the vertical support structures 370 can generally be vertical in a side view of the tipper body 30, for example, at an angle of 20 degrees or less to the vertical. According to one or more embodiments, in the side view of the tipper body 30, some surfaces can be arranged at one vertical angle and other surfaces at a different vertical angle. For example, an upper front surface section of the vertical support structure 370 can be at an angle of 20 degrees to the vertical, and a lower front surface section, which may also include the lower section forming the downward-facing contact surfaces 317, can be approximately vertical.

[0021] The lower sections of the vertical support structures 370 can, as mentioned above, form downward-facing contact surfaces 371. According to one or more embodiments, the downward-facing contact surface 371 can be convex, e.g., semi-cylindrical, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 shown, or be elliptical or multiplanar. The downward-facing contact surfaces 371 of the vertical support structures 370 can have the same configuration. The downward-facing contact surfaces 371 can be configured to be received in or seated within the upward-facing contact surfaces of the support rockers connected to the lattice tube frame 20.

[0022] According to one or more embodiments, the vertical support structures 370 can be thicker at a lower section (i.e., extend further from the front wall 37) than at an upper section. That is, the vertical support structure 370 can taper from thick to thin from the lower section to the upper section, which, according to one or more embodiments, can result in an upper, transverse support element 379.

[0023] A heating channel 380 can be provided on the front of the front wall 37. Furthermore, the front wall 37 of the tipper body 30 can consist of several (e.g., two) front wall sections, each extending from one side wall 38 to the other side wall 38, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows that the heating channel 380, which may be a hollow conduit, can extend from the front of the front wall 37. Furthermore, the heating channel 380 can be permanently connected (e.g., welded) to the front of the front wall 37. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the heating channel 380 can be the only heating channel on the front of the front wall 37. Optionally, the heating channel 380 can be partially defined by the front of the front wall 37. That is, the front of the front wall 37 can form a back wall of the heating channel 380.

[0024] The heating channel 380 can have an exhaust gas inlet 381, an exhaust gas outlet 388, and a channel body 383. The heating channel 380 can extend continuously from the exhaust gas inlet 381 to the exhaust gas outlet 388. Optionally, the heating channel 380 can extend continuously and without branching from the exhaust gas inlet 381 to the exhaust gas outlet 388. According to one or more embodiments, the heating channel 380 can consist entirely or partially of formed sheet metal.

[0025] The exhaust inlet 381 can be provided on the front of the front wall 37 above the exhaust outlet 388. For example, the exhaust inlet 381 can be located on the front wall 37 at a height above that of the exhaust outlet 388. However, in a front view of the tipping body 30, the exhaust inlet 381 need not be located directly above the exhaust outlet 388. According to one or more embodiments, the exhaust inlet 381 and the exhaust outlet 388 can generally be arranged closer to one side edge of the front wall 37 than to the other side edge of the front wall 37. Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows, for example, the exhaust outlet 388 on the left side edge of the front wall 37 in the front view of the tipper body 30. Fig. 2 and Fig. In 3, the exhaust gas inlet 381 is arranged closer to the left side edge than to the right side edge of the front wall 37, i.e., between the left side edge of the front wall 37 and a vertical center line of the front wall 37 in the front view of the tipping body 30. Optionally, the duct body 383, with the exception of the exhaust gas outlet 388, can, for example, be directed inwards from the circumference of the front wall 37 at any time. According to one or more embodiments, a section of the duct body 383 can run along a coupling between the front wall 37 and the bottom wall 39.

[0026] The channel body 383 can consist of a plurality of extending sections, which may be formed integrally with one another or alternatively may consist of several sections. The extension sections of the channel body 383 can include at least one horizontally extending section and at least one vertically extending section. With regard to the extending sections, horizontal and vertical can be defined with respect to the front view of the tipping superstructure 30, wherein, in a side view of the tipping superstructure 30, vertically extending sections 386, 387 can extend at an angle to the front wall 37. Thus, in the side view, the vertically extending sections 386, 387 can extend substantially vertically, for example, 20 degrees or less from the vertical.Each of the horizontally extending sections and the vertically extending sections can have a channel width that is greater than a channel height (e.g., generally rectangular in cross-section).

[0027] Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows, for example, a first horizontally extending section 384 and a second horizontally extending section 385. Both the first horizontally extending section 384 and the second horizontally extending section 385 can consist of a plurality of horizontally extending sections or segments. Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3, for example, also shows a first vertically extending section 386 and a second vertically extending section 387. Both the first vertically extending section 386 and the second vertically extending section 387 can consist of a plurality of vertically extending sections or segments. Optionally, a section or segment of the first horizontally extending section 384 can be considered part of the exhaust inlet 381. Likewise, optionally, a section or segment of the second vertically extending section 387 can be considered part of the exhaust outlet 388.

[0028] According to one or more embodiments, the heating channel 380 can traverse an upper section and a lower section of the front face of the front wall 37, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows the heating channel 380, for example, extending continuously from the exhaust gas inlet 381 to the first horizontally extending section 384, to the first vertically extending section 386, to the second horizontally extending section 385, to the second vertically extending section 387, to the exhaust gas outlet 388, or passing through it.

[0029] The exhaust inlet 381 can be oriented such that one or more of its openings can be directed downwards, for example, directly downwards (i.e., vertically) or at a slight angle to the vertical (e.g., 5 degrees or less). Thus, according to the embodiments of the disclosed article, the exhaust inlet 381 can be referred to as a downward-facing exhaust inlet. The exhaust inlet 381 can be connected to an exhaust bellows system that couples an exhaust system of the machine 10, in particular an exhaust outlet, to the exhaust inlet 381. Optionally, a wear plate 382 can be provided between the exhaust inlet 381 and the exhaust bellows system. In general, the exhaust gases from the drive engine (e.g., the internal combustion engine) of the machine 10 can be discharged via the exhaust outlet and fed to the exhaust inlet 381, e.g., via the exhaust bellows system.The exhaust gases from the drive motor can flow to, through and out of the heating channel 380, as shown by the exhaust gas flow arrows F in . Fig. 3 displayed.

[0030] The exhaust outlet 388 can be oriented such that one or more of its outlet openings can point outwards. In Fig. 2 and Fig. For example, the outlet opening of the exhaust gas outlet 388 is directed outwards in the direction of the width of the tipping body 30, away from the front wall 37 of the tipping body 30. Optionally, the exhaust gas outlet 388 can have a porous element 389, such as a sieve, a mesh, or a grid, at one or more outlet openings. The porous element 389 can be provided to allow the discharge of exhaust gases from the exhaust gas outlet 388, but to prevent the ingress of foreign objects, such as animals and / or debris, into the exhaust gas outlet 388. In general, the exhaust gases that pass through the exhaust gas inlet 381 and the duct body 383 can be discharged from the heating duct 380 through the exhaust gas outlet 388. The exhaust gases can be released into the outside environment through the exhaust outlet 388 outside the front wall 37, for example outside the tipping body 30 or outside the machine 10.

[0031] According to one or more embodiments of the disclosed object, the first horizontally extending section 384 can extend through the vertical support structures 370, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 shown. If the first horizontally extending section 384 extends through the vertical support structures 370, the first horizontally extending section 384 may optionally extend (i.e., project) less far from the front of the front wall 37 than the vertical support structures 370 extend from the front of the front wall 37, at least where the first horizontally extending section 384 intersects the vertical support structures 370. The cut surfaces of the first horizontally extending section 384 and each vertical support structure 370 may be rigidly joined, for example, by welding. In addition, the first horizontally extending section 384 may provide support for horizontal components of force vectors with respect to a tensile load on the machine 10. As support for horizontal components of force vectors, the first horizontally extending section 384 may, as shown in U.S. Application No.16 / 663,825, which is included here in its entirety by reference.

[0032] According to one or more embodiments, one or more longitudinal support elements 377 can extend from the bottom wall 39 to the front wall 37 (i.e., transition from the horizontal to the vertical or substantially to the vertical). As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, for example, two longitudinal support elements 377 can extend along the front wall 37, such that their ends lie between the vertical support structures 370. The second horizontally extending section 385 can extend through the longitudinal support elements 377 or otherwise separate sections of the longitudinal support elements 377. Optionally, a loading platform 373 can be provided between sections of the vertical support structures 370, e.g., for manufacturing purposes.

[0033] An internal support can be provided at the inner corners of the tipping body 30 between the side walls 38 and a rear face of the front wall 37. In general, the internal supports can form protective couplings between the side walls 38 and the front wall 37 to transfer stresses from an actual coupling between the side walls 38 and the front wall 37. The internal supports can also prevent the inner corners at the coupling between the side walls 38 and the front wall 37 from being relatively sharp, which could otherwise cause the conveyed material to clump together at the relatively sharp inner corners in the tipping body. Commercial applicability

[0034] As already mentioned, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to heating channel arrangements on the front wall of the tilting structure as well as to systems, components and methods thereof.

[0035] A heating channel 380 can be provided on the front of the front wall 37. The heating channel 380, which can be a hollow conduit, can have an exhaust gas inlet 381, an exhaust gas outlet 388, and a channel body 383. The heating channel 380 can run continuously from the exhaust gas inlet 381 to the exhaust gas outlet 388, passing, for example, through an upper section and a lower section of the front of the front wall 37, as in the non-restrictive example in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 shown.

[0036] In general, the exhaust gases from the drive engine (e.g., the internal combustion engine) of machine 10 can be discharged via an exhaust outlet of the same and fed to the exhaust inlet 381, e.g., via an exhaust bellows system. The exhaust gases, passing through the exhaust inlet 381 and the duct body 383, can be discharged from the heating duct 380 through the exhaust outlet 388. The exhaust gases can be discharged through the exhaust outlet 388 to the outside, outside the front wall 37, for example, outside the tipping superstructure 30 or outside the machine 10, into the external environment. The exhaust gases from the drive engine can flow to, through, and out of the heating duct 380, as indicated by the exhaust flow arrows F in the figure. Fig. 3 displayed.

[0037] The heating channel 380 can be used to heat the material located in the tipping body 30. More precisely, the heating channel 380 can guide relatively warm exhaust gas, received from the exhaust system of the machine 10, along a predetermined path through the front wall 37 of the tipping body 30. The relatively warm exhaust gas can prevent the material located in the tipping body 30 from freezing. The predetermined path of the heating channel 380 can be determined by where the material conveyed in the tipping body 30 is most likely to freeze or needs to be heated, e.g., edge sections of the front wall 37, in particular the bottom of the front wall 37 at the coupling with the bottom wall 39 and the opposite side edges of the front wall 37.

[0038] By providing a heating channel (i.e., the heating channel 380) only at the front of the front wall 37, embodiments of the disclosed article can establish a balance between heating- and load-based strength properties relative to the weight properties of the tilting superstructure 30. That is, embodiments of the disclosed article can provide suitable heating- and load-based strength properties while simultaneously minimizing the weight of the tilting superstructure 30 by not providing excess heating channels.

[0039] While aspects of the present disclosure have been shown and described in particular with reference to the embodiments described above, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that various additional embodiments can be considered by modifying the disclosed machines, assemblies, systems, and methods without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Such embodiments are to be understood as falling within the scope of the present disclosure as determined on the basis of the claims and their equivalents.
