The platform (164) has support elements (208) arranged in a linear sequence. Each support element (208) is inclined with respect to a thickness direction TD of the platform (164) to deflect material spray emanating from one or more traction devices (136) of the machine (100) during movement of the one or more traction devices (136). Each support element (208) also defines a distance C with respect to an adjacent support element (208) to allow a clear view through the platform (164) of a section (236) associated with the operator cabin (160).

Description

Technical field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to cabin systems for working machines, such as large dump trucks. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a cabin system with a platform that provides transparent visibility and also deflects material that detaches from a traction device of the working machine. State of the art

[0002] Construction machinery, such as large dump trucks, is typically used to transport a payload between multiple locations on a construction site. These machines usually have an operator's cab, inside which an operator can control one or more of the machine's functions, such as its movement. It is common to provide a platform adjacent to the cab, for example, for access to and / or exit from the cab. Such platforms may be in the form of grating.

[0003] If the platform has a transparent grid structure and one or more traction devices are located relatively close to (e.g., below) the platform, it is likely that the traction devices will pick up material (e.g., mud and dirt from a ground surface) during machine movement and spray it against the platform. Such material spraying can cause material to splash and accumulate in the recesses defined by the transparent grid structure, obstructing visibility and / or a line of sight defined by the platform. The material can also travel through the platform and collect on the surfaces of the operator's cabin and various other parts of the machine. If deflectors are installed to divert the material spray, these deflectors can also obstruct visibility and / or a line of sight defined by the platform. Brief description of the invention

[0004] In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a cabin system for a machine. The cabin system comprises an operator cabin and a platform. The platform is located adjacent to the operator cabin. The platform has support elements arranged in a linear sequence. Each support element is inclined with respect to a thickness direction of the platform to deflect material spray emanating from one or more traction devices of the machine during movement of the one or more traction devices. Each support element also defines a distance with respect to an adjacent support element to allow a clear view through the platform from a section associated with the operator cabin.

[0005] In another aspect, the disclosure relates to a working machine. The working machine comprises a power system, a device for processing or conveying earth, one or more traction devices, and a cabin system. The traction devices can be driven by the power system to move and propel the working machine. The cabin system comprises an operator cabin and a platform. The platform is located adjacent to the operator cabin and has support elements arranged in a linear sequence. Each support element is inclined with respect to a thickness direction of the platform to deflect any material spray emanating from one or more traction devices during movement of the traction devices.Furthermore, each support element defines a distance in relation to an adjacent support element to allow transparent visibility through the platform from one of the sections associated with the operator cabin. Brief description of the drawings Fig. Figure 1 is a front view of an exemplary working machine according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure; Fig. 2 is one side of the working machine of Fig. 1 according to one or more aspects of the present revelation; and Fig. Figures 3 to 5 show different views of a platform used in conjunction with an operator's cabin of the working machine, according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure. Detailed description

[0006] Specific embodiments or features are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In general, corresponding reference numbers can be used in the drawings to refer to identical or corresponding parts; for example, 1, 1', 1'', 101, and 201 can refer to one or more comparable components used in the same and / or different embodiments shown.

[0007] With reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 2 shows a working machine 100. The working machine 100 can be a mining machine and, for example, represent a dump truck or a large articulated dump truck 104 that can be operated at a construction site 108. The construction site 108 can include various locations or places, such as loading sites and unloading sites (not shown). Loading sites can be locations at the construction site 108 where the working machine 100 can take on a payload (e.g., ores, rock, sand, soil, gravel, etc.), and unloading sites can be locations at the construction site 108 to which the working machine 100 can travel to release the payload.

[0008] As part of an exemplary work cycle, the work machine 100 can repeatedly travel back and forth between the aforementioned locations on the construction site 108. For example, the work machine 100 can pick up the payload at a loading location, in a forward direction (see direction A, Fig. 2) Drive from the loading location to an unloading location, release and / or unload the payload at the unloading location, and drive back to the loading location or (one or more similar other loading locations) to pick up additional payload. In this way, the work cycle can be repeated for a desired number of operations. The working machine 100 may have a device 112 for processing or transporting earth, such as, but not limited to, a tipping skip 112', which may be tiltable for picking up and releasing the payload.

[0009] Although references to and illustrations of the large dump truck 104 are used in this disclosure, aspects of this disclosure may also be applicable to other working machines, such as underground mining machines, excavators, articulated dump trucks, tow trucks, loaders, wheeled machines, crawler machines, and similar machines, in which one or more operator cabins and / or cabin systems may be provided, for example, to accommodate one or more operators of the working machine 100. References to and illustrations of the working machine 100, e.g., as a dump truck or large dump truck 104, in this disclosure are to be considered exemplary. Other examples of the construction site 108 may include, among others, a mine, an underground mine, a construction site, a landfill, a quarry, or the like.

[0010] The working machine 100 can define a front end 116 and a rear end 120 (see Fig. 2) The rear end 120 can be positioned opposite the front end 116. The front end 116 can precede the rear end 120 when the working machine 100 is moving forward (e.g., in direction A) (see Fig. 2) A left side 124 and a right side 128 of the working machine 100 can also be defined. The left side 124 and the right side 128 can each be defined on opposite sides of the working machine 100. The left side 124 and the right side 128 are viewed and understood when looking at the working machine 100 from the rear end 120 towards the front end 116. The working machine 100 can also define a height H.

[0011] Furthermore, the working machine 100 may have a chassis or a main frame 132 and several traction devices (see traction devices 136). The traction devices 136 can comprise front traction devices 136' located at the front end 116 of the working machine 100, and rear traction devices 136", located at the rear end 120 of the working machine 100. The working machine 100 can further comprise a power system 140, which may include a power source (not shown), such as, but not limited to, an internal combustion engine and / or a battery, to provide drive power to the traction devices 136 and optionally to one or more other systems / subsystems of the working machine 100. By providing drive power to the traction devices 136, the traction devices 136 can move with respect to a ground area 144 of the construction site 108 (e.g.,(rotate), so that the work machine 100 can also move in relation to the ground area 144 and can move between the different locations of the construction site 108.

[0012] The traction devices 136 of the working machine 100 (i.e., each of the front traction devices 136' and the rear traction devices 136") can support the main frame 132 on the ground surface 144 of the construction site 108. The front traction devices 136' can comprise a set of front wheels 148, and the rear traction devices 136'' can comprise a set of rear wheels 152. In some embodiments, the traction devices 136 can comprise crawler tracks, either alone or in combination with one or more of the set of front wheels 148 and / or the main frame 132 supporting the ground surface 144, while the set of rear wheels 152 can support a rear section of the main frame 132 on the ground surface 144.

[0013] As illustrated by way of example, the set of front wheels 148 can be arranged along a width W of the working machine 100 such that at least one front wheel (e.g., see left front wheel 148') of the set of front wheels 148 can occupy a position on or towards the left side 124 of the working machine 100, and at least one other front wheel (e.g., see right front wheel 148") of the set of front wheels 148 can occupy a position on or towards the right side 128 of the working machine 100. Similarly, the set of rear wheels 152 can also be arranged along the width W of the working machine 100 such that at least one rear wheel (e.g., see left rear wheel 152') of the set of rear wheels 152 can occupy a position on or towards the left side 124 of the working machine 100, and at least one other rear wheel (e.g., see right front wheel 148") can occupy a position on or towards the right side 128 of the working machine 100.see right rear wheel 152") of the set of rear wheels 152 can take a position on or towards the right side 128 of the working machine 100.

[0014] The working machine 100 may also have a cabin system 156. The cabin system 156 may comprise an operator cabin 160 and a platform 164. As illustrated by way of example, the operator cabin 160 may be arranged on or towards the left side 124 of the working machine 100. Furthermore, the operator cabin 160 may be arranged such that, when viewed along the height H of the working machine 100, it is located above (e.g., at least partially above) the left front wheel 148'. The operator cabin 160 may define an interior volume 168 that can be used to station one or more operators (e.g., see operator 172) on the working machine 100. The term "operator" used in this disclosure may refer to one or more manual operators and / or systems (e.g.,Cameras, LIDARs, three-dimensional sensors) are defined and / or include devices that can, for example, provide perceptible images of and / or around the work machine 100 and which can optionally be accessed remotely.

[0015] The operator cabin 160 can consist of several panels (e.g., sheet metal panels) that can comprise several side panels (e.g., see side panel 176). Furthermore, the operator cabin 160 can also have a roof section 180 and a floor section 184. Each of the side panels (e.g., side panel 176), the roof section 180, and the floor section 184 can be assembled to enclose and define the interior volume 168 of the operator cabin 160.

[0016] Furthermore, the operator cabin 160 can have one or more operator seats (e.g., see operator seat 188) and various input devices, such as joysticks, control panels, and levers, arranged within the interior volume 168. These input devices can be accessed to control and operate various systems and / or subsystems of the working machine 100, such as the power system 140, a steering system 142 for steering the traction devices 136 (and thus the working machine 100), etc. The operator cabin 160 can also have features such as one or more doors (e.g., see door 192) through which the operator 172 can enter and / or exit the interior volume 168.Furthermore, the operator cabin 160 can also have viewing areas 196, such as windows and windshields, through which the operator 172 stationed in the interior volume 168 can view and / or inspect the surroundings and / or the ground surface 144 outside the operator cabin 160. The operator cabin 160 can define an elevation E, which is defined along the height H of the working machine 100.

[0017] The platform 164 can be positioned or arranged near the operator cabin 160, as shown, and can be used by the operator 172 as a walkway surface 200 and / or a walkway platform 164'. For example, the operator 172 can use the platform 164 for accessing and exiting the operator cabin 160 (i.e., the interior volume 168 of the operator cabin 160). Therefore, in some embodiments, the platform 164 can be positioned or arranged adjacent to the floor section 184 of the operator cabin 160. In some embodiments, the platform 164 can be located at the same level as the floor section 184 (e.g., generally arranged at that level) to facilitate movement between the floor section 184 and the platform 164 for the operator.The term "general" means that the platform 164 can be positioned relatively higher or relatively lower than the floor section 184 to allow the operator 172 to either step up or down relative to the floor section 184 in order to transfer from the floor section 184 to the platform 164. Ultimately, the platform 164 does not necessarily have to be flush with the floor section 184.

[0018] Since the operator's cabin 160 can be located above the left front wheel 148', the platform 164 can also occupy a position above (e.g., partially above) the left front wheel 148'. As shown in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 and also in the Fig. As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the platform 164 can define a thickness T and a corresponding thickness direction TD, which is associated with a direction in which the thickness T extends or is defined. The thickness T and / or the thickness direction TD can be defined along the elevation E of the operator cabin 160. An axis 204 can be defined along the thickness direction TD, as shown.

[0019] It is understandable that the work machine may comprise 100 different parts, such as a staircase that allows operator 172 to access platform 164, along with associated railings and similar structures. These parts may surround and / or adjoin platform 164. For the sake of clarity and to maintain focus on the structure and design of platform 164, such parts have been omitted from the view of Fig. 1 and Fig. However, 2 are omitted and are not described in the present disclosure, as they can be considered and applied by a person skilled in the art based on the description in the present disclosure.

[0020] With reference to Fig. 3 to 5 and also in connection with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The platform 164 can comprise and / or be formed by a series of support elements 208. Without being limited thereto, the support elements 208 can be in the form of plates 212, each of which has flat or planar surfaces on its opposite sides – see, for example, the planar surfaces 216 of support element 208'. Furthermore, for example, each support element 208 can extend along a corresponding plane (see, for example, plane 220 for support element 208') that defines the planar surfaces 216. Without being limited thereto, the support elements 208 can be arranged parallel to one another. In some embodiments, each support element 208 can be formed from a metallic or non-metallic material, e.g., high-strength steel, an alloy, wood, and fiberglass. The support elements 208 can be arranged in the form of an array, e.g., a linear array, to form the platform 164. As an example, the array (e.g.,the linear arrangement) originates from an end face 224 of the operator cabin 160 (and / or from a first end 228 of the platform 164) and extends in an outward direction away from the operator cabin 160 (e.g., to define a second end 232 of the platform 164). The direction can be a lateral direction LD (e.g., a lateral direction to the left, see ). Fig. 1), which is defined in relation to the operator cabin 160. In addition, each support element 208 can be inclined in relation to the axis 204 or the thickness direction TD, which is assigned to the thickness T of the platform 164.

[0021] Furthermore, each support element 208 of the platform 164 can have a distance C with respect to an adjacent support element 208 of the platform 164 – for example, only the distance C defined between support element 208' and support element 208" of the platform 164 is shown. In this way, intermittent distances, i.e., distances C, are formed or defined over the entire platform 164 or over an extension. The distances C allow for transparency through the platform 164 (e.g., through the thickness T of the platform 164).

[0022] Due to the inclined or slanted arrangement of the support elements 208 with respect to the thickness direction TD, transparent visibility can also be achieved at an angle with respect to the thickness direction TD. In other words, the operator 172 can see through the platform 164 (e.g., in the direction of the floor surface 144) if the operator's line of sight 240 is angled or inclined with respect to the elevation E of the operator cabin 160 (and is also aligned with the support elements 208).

[0023] Although not limited thereto, the line of sight 240 can originate from a section 236 associated with the operator's cabin 160—e.g., from or around the operator's seat 188—extend to the left (or in the direction of the lateral direction LD) of the working machine 100, pass through one or more of the sight lines 196, and diverge toward the floor surface 144. In some embodiments, the distance C defined between each support element 208 and the adjacent support element 208 can be the same across the entire platform 164. In other words, the support elements 208 can be evenly spaced to form the platform 164, and / or the intermittent distances, i.e., the distances C defined by the platform 164, can be correspondingly equal.

[0024] Furthermore, each support element 208 can define a first edge 244 and a second edge 248 (see exemplary notes on the support element 208') (e.g. Fig. 3) The second edge 248 can be arranged opposite the first edge 244. The first edge 244 can also be arranged above the second edge 248 along the elevation E of the operator cabin 160 or along the thickness direction TD of the platform 164. It should be noted that each support element 208 can be inclined with respect to the thickness direction TD, which corresponds to the thickness T of the platform 164, such that a distance D1, defined between the first edge 244 and the operator cabin 160 along the lateral direction LD, is smaller or shorter than a distance D2, defined between the second edge 248 and the operator cabin 160 along the lateral direction LD.

[0025] Furthermore, the first edge 244 can define a width span WS1 and the second edge 248 a width span WS2. The width span WS1 can be equal to the width span WS2. However, in some embodiments, the width span WS2 defined by the second edge 248 can be smaller or narrower than the one defined by the first edge 244, thereby increasing visibility across the thickness T of the platform 164, for example, when looking through the platform 164 in a direction defined from the first edge 244 to the second edge 248. In alternative embodiments, the width span WS2 defined by the second edge 248 can be larger or wider than the width span WS1 defined by the first edge 244.

[0026] Furthermore, the inclination defined by each support element 208 of the platform 164 with respect to the axis 204 or the thickness direction TD can mean that each support element 208 defines an angle (referred to as inclination angle K) with respect to the axis 204 - see, for example, inclination angle K defined between support element 208''' and the axis 204 in Fig. 3. This angle of inclination K can be between 15 degrees and 45 degrees. If the support elements 208 are parallel to each other, each support element 208 can define the same angle of inclination K with respect to the axis 204.

[0027] However, it is possible that in some cases the inclination angles K defined by the support elements 208 may differ from one another with respect to the axis 204. For example, the inclination angle K for each successive support element 208 may increase (e.g., progressively) from the first end 228 to the second end 232, with support element 208''' defining, for example, the smallest inclination angle K and support element 208' defining, for example, the largest inclination angle K. Such an increase in the inclination angle K of the support elements 208 may take into account the exemplary line of sight 240 (e.g., of the operator 172, who is located in the interior volume 168 of the operator cabin 160), which, as discussed above, may diverge in the direction of the floor surface 144 or extend from its starting point (e.g., from section 236) of the operator cabin 160 as a circular sector.The increasing angles of the support elements 208 as they move away from the operator cabin 160 in the lateral direction LD can help the support elements 208 to align with the line of sight 240 or the field of vision of the operator 172.

[0028] In some embodiments, the platform 164 may comprise one or more transverse structures or crossbeams 252 (in the accompanying Fig. (Only a few are marked, 1 to 5). The crossbeams 252 can be arranged over a width B of the platform 164 to connect it to each support element 208 and to hold the platform 164 as a single, unified unit. In some embodiments, the crossbeams 252 can be formed integrally with the support elements 208 or connected to the support elements 208, e.g., by welding or other fastening techniques known today or developed in the future, e.g., bolting.

[0029] The platform 164 may also have a mounting structure 256. The mounting structure 256 can be used to mount the platform 164 to the end face 224 of the operator cabin 160. Without being limited thereto, the mounting structure 256 may be a plate-shaped structure and may be similar to the support elements 208 and / or have one or more of their features. However, the mounting structure 256 may be aligned with the axis 204 to allow mounting on the end face 224 and may not define an angle of inclination with respect to the axis 204—for example, in some cases, the angle between the mounting structure 256 and the axis 204 may be 0 degrees. An exemplary coupling of the mounting structure 256 to the end face 224 can be achieved by using any conventional fasteners, e.g.,by using threaded connections, welding and / or similar techniques known today or developed in the future. In some embodiments, the platform 164, e.g., the support elements 208, the crossbeams 252 and / or the fastening structure 256, may have an outer layer of a dust-repellent coating. Commercial applicability

[0030] During operation, when the working machine 100 travels over the ground surface 144, the traction devices 136 (including the left front wheel 148') can engage with the ground surface 144 and rotate about their axis (e.g. wheel axle 260, see Fig. 1 and Fig.2) Rotate. Since the left front wheel 148' can spin freely or rotate, an engagement of the left front wheel 148' with the ground surface 144 can cause a quantity of material (e.g., muddy soil, dirt, and the like) to be lifted from the ground surface 144 and sprayed around the wheel axle 260 or the left front wheel 148'. As a result, during the rotation of the left front wheel 148', some of the material sprayed by the left front wheel 148' can fall off and be splashed against the platform 164 (e.g., an underside 264 of the platform 164, since the platform 164 may be located above the left front wheel 148'). Since each support element 208 can be inclined with respect to the thickness direction TD of the platform 164, each support element 208 can impede the progress of the material spraying and prevent the material from advancing or entering the intermittent distances, i.e., distances C, defined by the platform 164.This blockage by the support elements 208 ensures that the intermittent gaps, i.e., the gaps C, largely do not become blocked. In particular, the blockage provided by the support elements 208 causes the platform 164 to effectively deflect the material spray emanating from the left front wheel 148' during movement of the left front wheel 148' and / or the working machine 100. Accordingly, the material can be prevented from moving to or reaching various parts of the working machine 100, such as cameras, transparent surfaces including windows, windshields, and the like, and the operator's cabin 160 of the working machine 100.

[0031] Since the intermittent gaps can remain free of obstructions, visibility (e.g., from section 236 of the operator's cabin 160, for example, for operator 172 from the operator's seat 188) through the platform 164 can remain free of blockages or interruptions of view. Therefore, the inclinations of the support elements 208 with respect to the thickness direction TD help operator 172 (e.g., when operator 172 is seated in the operator's seat 188) to see easily through the platform 164 and to perceive the condition and / or quality of the floor surface 144 (i.e., whether the floor surface 144 presents any obstacles to movement for the machine 100 or not).

[0032] This perception can also be achieved when the working machine 100 is in motion and / or the left front wheel 148' lifts and sprays material around the wheel axis 260, or when the working machine 100 is stationary with respect to the ground surface 144. Furthermore, such perception is possible and applicable because the line of sight 240 of the operator 172 can be aligned with the angles of inclination (e.g., angle of inclination K) of the support elements 208. The angle of inclination K, which, as mentioned above, lies between 15 degrees and 45 degrees, can be used for a large dump truck, such as the large dump truck 104 described by way of example in this disclosure.Based on the present description, a specialist in the field can consider different angular ranges for different designs of the working machine 100, different operator cabins of the working machine 100 and / or a total of different working machines and / or different operator cabins.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be noted that the line of sight 240 may differ between different machines and / or may vary depending on the different conditions and / or requirements of the working machine 100. For example, and in some embodiments, the line of sight 240 may be directed towards a mirror or a telescope, which in turn may be directed towards the platform 164, to enable the operator 172 to see through the platform 164 simply by looking into the mirror or telescope (as described above).

[0034] The improved visibility provided by platform 164 allows for the installation of wider platforms (e.g., those extending further from the LD along the side Richthino) adjacent to operator cabin 160, thus making platform 164 spacious for operator positioning and movement. This, in turn, enhances operator comfort compared to conventional platforms, which offer limited space and must be restricted in width to avoid blind spots around the work machine 100. Since platform 164 effectively deflects material spray, the installation of separate deflector plates or splash guards on or under platform 164 is unnecessary, thereby reducing the number of parts required on the work machine 100 and saving associated costs.

[0035] Unless expressly excluded, the use of the singular to describe a component, structure, or process does not preclude the use of a plurality of such components, structures, or processes, or their equivalents. The use of the terms "a," "one," "an," "a," and "the," "a," "a," and "at least one" or the term "one or more" and similar references in the context of the description of the invention (particularly in the context of the following claims) shall be interpreted as covering both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradictory in the context.The use of the phrase "at least one" followed by a list containing one or more elements (for example, "at least one of A and B" or "one or more of A and B") is to be interpreted as meaning the selection of one element from the listed elements (A or B) or a combination of two or more of the listed elements (A and B, A, A and B; A, B and B), unless otherwise specified herein or clearly contradictory in context. Similarly, the word "or" as used herein refers to any possible permutation of a set of elements. For example, the phrase "A, B or C" refers to at least one of A, B, C or any combination thereof, such as any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A, B and C; or multiples thereof, such as A and A; B, B and C; A, A, B, C and C; etc.

[0036] It is obvious to those skilled in the field that various modifications and variations can be made to the method and / or system of the present disclosure without deviating from the scope of the disclosure. Other embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art by considering the description and by practicing the method and / or system disclosed herein. The description and examples are intended to be considered merely illustrative, with the actual scope of the disclosure being specified by the following claims and their equivalents.
