Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] A description will be given of a two-tooth plate according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 3, the two-tooth plate 1 can be attached to the adapters 5a to 5e on the tip side of the bucket 5, and is also called a flat claw. The bucket 5 is rotatably attached to the arm of an excavator, which is a type of construction machine. In the following description, the left-right direction, the up-down direction, and the front-back direction are directions based on the perspective of the driver when the two-tooth plate 1 of the bucket 5 is facing the driver of the excavator. The front direction refers to the forward direction, and the back direction refers to the depth direction.

[0010] The two-tooth plate 1 includes a left-end tooth piece 10, a plurality of intermediate tooth pieces 20, 30, 40, and a right-end tooth piece 50. The five tooth pieces 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 are provided in a state of being arranged and connected in the left-right direction. The left-end tooth piece 10 is located at the left end of the tooth pieces 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and the right-end tooth piece 50 is located at the right end of the tooth pieces 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.

[0011] (Left-end tooth piece 10) As shown in FIG. 2(a), the left-end tooth piece 10 includes an adapter connection portion 11, a tooth plate portion 12, and an upper overlapping plate portion 13. The tooth plate portion 12 is a portion that functions as a tooth and is formed in a rectangular plate shape along the left-right direction and the front-back direction. The tooth plate portion 12 includes a thick portion 12a located at the left corner of the tooth plate portion 12. The thick portion 12a forms an L shape along the left corner of the tooth plate portion 12 and is formed thicker than the thickness of the tooth plate portion 12 other than the thick portion 12a.

[0012] The upper overlapping plate portion 13 overlaps so as to be in surface contact with the upper surface of a lower overlapping plate portion 25 (see FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b)) of an adjacent intermediate two-tooth piece 20 described later. The upper overlapping plate portion 13 is formed in a rectangular plate shape that is long in the front-rear direction on the same plane as the two-tooth plate portion 12. The lower surface of the upper overlapping plate portion 13 is formed with a step upward from the lower surface of the two-tooth plate portion 12 by the thickness of the lower overlapping plate portion 25 of the adjacent intermediate two-tooth piece 20. The upper overlapping plate portion 13 includes a thick portion 13a located on the front side of the upper overlapping plate portion 13. The front end portion of the upper overlapping plate portion 13 is at the same position as the front end portion of the two-tooth plate portion 12, and the rear end portion of the upper overlapping plate portion 13 is located on the rear side of the rear end portion of the two-tooth plate portion 12.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 4, the adapter connection portion 11 is installed on the upper surface of the two-tooth plate portion 12 (specifically, the rear side at the center in the left-right direction of this upper surface). The adapter connection portion 11 has a shape having a cavity into which the adapter 5a fits. Specifically, the adapter connection portion 11 includes side wall portions 11a, 11b and an upper wall portion 11c. The side wall portions 11a, 11b stand on the upper surface of the two-tooth plate portion 12 and face each other in the left-right direction via the adapter 5a. The side wall portions 11a, 11b form a triangular shape in which the height decreases as it progresses forward when viewed from the left-right direction. The upper wall portion 11c is formed so as to connect the upper ends of the side wall portions 11a, 11b and is inclined so as to approach the upper surface of the two-tooth plate portion 12 as it progresses forward.

[0014] A head operation hole 11d, which is a circular through-hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the side wall portion 11a, is formed in the side wall portion 11a. The head operation hole 11d is a hole where an operation head 71a (see FIG. 4) of a mounting pin unit 70 described later is located. The head operation hole 11d is located at the rear lower side of the side wall portion 11a. The head operation hole 11d is formed at a position exposed to the left outside.

[0015] On the outer surface of the side wall portion 11a (the surface opposite to the intermediate two-piece 20, that is, the left side surface), a first convex portion 11f is formed. The first convex portion 11f protrudes from the outer surface of the side wall portion 11a and is formed so as to surround the periphery of the head operation hole 11d. The first convex portion 11f has a function of protecting the operation head 71a and a function of emphasizing the position of the operation head 71a to make it conspicuous to users such as drivers. The first convex portion 11f is formed in a shape that is smaller than the entire outer surface of the side wall portion 11a in the vertical and longitudinal directions. The lower end portion of the first convex portion 11f is along the upper surface of the two-piece plate portion 12, and the rear end portion of the first convex portion 11f is along the rear end portion of the side wall portion 11a. The front end 11j of the first convex portion 11f is formed in a curved shape that bulges upward and forward.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the side wall portion 11b, a non-circular through hole 11g that penetrates in the thickness direction of the side wall portion 11b is formed. The anti-rotation hole 11g is a hole where the anti-rotation head 73a of the mounting pin unit 70 is located. The center position of the anti-rotation hole 11g is at the same position as the center position of the head operation hole 11d when viewed from the left-right direction. The anti-rotation hole 11g has a substantially polygonal shape that is long in a direction orthogonal to the left-right direction when viewed from the left-right direction. In this example, it has a rectangular shape with rounded corners that is long in the front-rear direction. The longitudinal direction of the rectangular anti-rotation hole 11g is inclined with respect to the front-rear direction. Specifically, as it progresses toward the rear side, this longitudinal direction is inclined so as to be away from the upper overlapping plate portion 13. The longitudinal length of the anti-rotation hole 11g is formed to be smaller than the diameter of the head operation hole 11d. As shown in FIG. 1(a), the anti-rotation hole 11g faces the right direction of the adapter connection portion 21 of the adjacent intermediate two-piece 20.

[0017] On the outer surface of the side wall portion 11b (the surface on the intermediate two-piece 20 side, that is, the right side surface), a second convex portion 11i is formed. The second convex portion 11i protrudes from the outer surface of the side wall portion 11b and is formed so as to surround the periphery of the anti-rotation hole 11g. The second convex portion 11i has the same shape as the first convex portion 11f when viewed from the left-right direction. The second convex portion 11i increases the area of the inner peripheral surface of the anti-rotation hole 11g and functions as a mark for the position of the anti-rotation head 73a. The height (thickness in the left-right direction) of the second convex portion 11i is formed lower than the height of the first convex portion 11f. The height of the second convex portion 11i is set to 3 / 4 to 1 / 4, for example, about 1 / 2 of the height of the first convex portion 11f. A user such as a driver can recognize the position of the operation head 71a by comparing the heights of the first convex portion 11f and the second convex portion 11i and using the first convex portion 11f with the higher height as a mark.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 4, the thickness Tb of the side wall portion 11b is formed thicker than the thickness Ta of the side wall portion 11a. Here, when the operation head 71a is rotationally operated, the anti-rotation head 73a comes into contact with the inner peripheral surfaces of the anti-rotation hole 11g and the second convex portion 11i, so that the anti-rotation head 73a is in an anti-rotation state within the anti-rotation hole 11g. Therefore, by forming the thickness Tb of the side wall portion 11b thick, deformation of the left-end two-piece 10 and thus the two-piece board 1 due to this contact is suppressed.

[0019] (Right-end two-piece 50) As shown in FIGS. 1(a), (b) and 2(b), the right-end two-piece 50 includes an adapter connection portion 51, a two-piece board portion 52, a lower overlapping plate portion 55, and upper pressing portions 54a, 54b. The adapter connection portion 51 and the two-piece board portion 52 of the right-end two-piece 50 are formed symmetrically about a symmetry axis extending in the front-rear direction with respect to the adapter connection portion 11 and the two-piece board portion 12 of the above-described left-end two-piece 10. The side wall portion 51a of the adapter connection portion 51 includes a head operation hole 51d and a first convex portion 51f. The head operation hole 51d, the first convex portion 51f, and the operation head 71a within the head operation hole 51d are formed at positions exposed to the right outside as shown in FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 1(b), the side wall portion 51b of the adapter connection portion 51 includes a rotation prevention hole 51g and a second convex portion 51i. The rotation prevention hole 51g and the second convex portion 51i are positioned so as to face the left direction of the adapter connection portion 41 of the intermediate two-piece 40.

[0020] The lower overlapping plate portion 55 contacts the lower surface of the upper overlapping plate portion 43 of the adjacent intermediate two-piece 40 over the entire front-rear direction. The lower overlapping plate portion 55 is formed in a rectangular plate shape that is long in the front-rear direction and is connected to the tooth plate portion 52 with a step. The upper surface of the lower overlapping plate portion 55 is formed to be recessed with respect to the upper surface of the tooth plate portion 52 by the thickness of the upper overlapping plate portion 43.

[0021] The upper pressing portions 54a and 54b are positioned so as to sandwich the upper overlapping plate portion 43 from above and below between them and the lower overlapping plate portion 55. The upper pressing portions 54a and 54b are positioned above the lower overlapping plate portion 55 at positions separated in the front-rear direction. The upper pressing portions 54a and 54b are formed in a rectangular plate shape, specifically, a rectangular plate shape that is long in the left-right direction. The upper pressing portion 54a is positioned in front of the rotation prevention hole 51g, and the upper pressing portion 54b is positioned behind the rotation prevention hole 51g.

[0022] (Intermediate two-pieces 20, 30, 40) As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the three intermediate two-pieces 20, 30, and 40 have the same shape as each other. Hereinafter, the intermediate two-piece 20 will be described, but the other intermediate two-pieces 30 and 40 have the same configuration. The intermediate two-piece 20 has the same configuration as the left-end two-piece 10 except that on the left side of the tooth plate portion 22, it has a lower overlapping plate portion 25 and upper pressing portions 24a and 24b that have the same configuration as the lower overlapping plate portion 55 and the upper pressing portions 54a and 54b described above. That is, the intermediate two-piece 20 includes an adapter connection portion 21, a tooth plate portion 22, an upper overlapping plate portion 23, a lower overlapping plate portion 25, and upper pressing portions 24a and 24b. Since these configurations are the same as the above-described configurations, the description is omitted.

[0023] Next, the connection modes of each two-piece 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the upper overlapping plate portion 13 of the left end two-piece 10 is inserted between the lower overlapping plate portion 25 of the middle two-piece 20 and the upper pressing portions 24a and 24b. The upper overlapping plate portion 23 of the middle two-piece 20 is inserted between the lower overlapping plate portion of the middle two-piece 30 and the upper pressing portion. The upper overlapping plate portion of the middle two-piece 30 is inserted between the lower overlapping plate portion of the middle two-piece 40 and the upper pressing portion. The upper overlapping plate portion 43 of the left end two-piece 40 is inserted between the lower overlapping plate portion 55 of the right end two-piece 50 and the upper pressing portions 54a and 54b.

[0024] (Mounting pin unit 70) As shown in FIG. 3, each mounting pin unit 70 fixes each two-piece 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 to each adapter 5a to 5e so as not to fall off. Hereinafter, the mounting pin unit 70 for fixing the left end two-piece 10 will be described, but the mounting pin units 70 for fixing the other two-pieces 20, 30, 40, 50 are also configured in the same manner. As shown in FIG. 4, the mounting pin unit 70 includes an operation pin 71, a housing cylinder portion 72, and a fixing pin 73, which are separate parts. The operation pin 71 includes an operation head portion 71a and a screw shaft 71b. The housing cylinder portion 72 includes a head cylinder portion 72a that houses the operation head portion 71a from the outer periphery and a shaft housing cylinder portion 72b that houses the base end portion of the screw shaft 71b.

[0025] The operation head portion 71a is configured to be rotatable by a tool (not shown). The operation head portion 71a has a cylindrical shape and has a hole into which the tool fits on the end face opposite to the screw shaft 71b. The operation head portion 71a is rotatably housed in the head cylinder portion 72a. The head cylinder portion 72a is located in the head operation hole 11d and the first convex portion 11f.

[0026] The fixing pin 73 includes a cylindrical portion 73b having a screw hole into which the screw shaft 71b is screwed, and a rotation prevention head portion 73a located at the base end portion of the cylindrical portion 73b. The anti-rotation head 73a has a non-circular plate shape, and in this example, it has a rectangular plate shape with rounded corners. The anti-rotation head 73a is located within the anti-rotation hole 11g, and a gap SK is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the anti-rotation head 73a and the inner peripheral surface of the anti-rotation hole 11g. As shown in FIG. 5, when the center position of the anti-rotation head 73a is located at the center position of the anti-rotation hole 11g, the gap SK between the inner peripheral surface of the anti-rotation hole 11g and the outer peripheral surface of the anti-rotation head 73a is set to 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm, more preferably 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm.

[0027] (Mounting method of the two-piece) Next, a method for attaching the left-end two-piece 10 to the adapter 5a with the mounting pin unit 70 will be described. First, insert the adapter connection portion 11 of the left-end two-piece 10 into the adapter 5a. Then, insert the fixing pin 73 so that its anti-rotation head 73a is located within the anti-rotation hole 11g. Next, insert the housing cylinder portion 72 so that the head cylinder portion 72a is located within the head operation hole 11d, and bring the tips of the cylindrical portion 73b and the shaft housing cylinder portion 72b into contact with each other. Then, with the screw shaft 71b aligned with the screw hole of the cylindrical portion 73b, rotate the operation head 71a with a tool. As a result, the screw shaft 71b is screwed into the screw hole of the cylindrical portion 73b, and the operation head 71a is positioned within the head cylinder portion 72a and the head operation hole 11d. At this time, since the anti-rotation head 73a is in an anti-rotation state within the anti-rotation hole 11g, the fixing pin 73 is prevented from rotating along. In this way, the mounting pin unit 70 is integrated in a state of passing through the through-hole 5h of the adapter 5a, and the left-end two-piece 10 is held by the adapter 5a. Thus, the attachment work of the left-end two-piece 10 is completed. The other two-pieces 20, 30, 40, 50 can also be attached to the adapters 5b to 5e with the mounting pin unit 70 in the same manner. The attachment order of the two-piece is, for example, attached in the order of two-piece 10 → 20 → 30 → 40 → 50, and removed in the reverse order. Note that the attachment order of the two-piece is not limited to this order, and it may be attached in the order of two-piece 50 → 40 → 30 → 20 → 10 and removed in the reverse order. That is, the attachment or removal starts from the leftmost two-piece 10 or the rightmost two-piece 50.

[0028] (Effect) According to the above-described embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) When the two-tooth plate 1 is attached to the adapters 5a to 5e of the bucket 5, the operation heads 71a are located on both outer sides in the left-right direction of the two-tooth plate 1. As a result, the operation head 71a on the tightening side is easily visible from the outside, and the user can be made to detect early the loosening or breakage of the operation head 71a of the mounting pin unit 70. Also, since the tightening forces from both end sides in the left-right direction of the two-tooth plate 1 act in the direction of bringing the two-pieces 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 closer, the two-tooth plate 1 can be attached to the adapters 5a to 5e in a more integrated state, and the excavation ability of the two-tooth plate 1 is enhanced. Furthermore, since both end portions (especially the left end portion) in the left-right direction of the two-tooth plate 1 serve as reference positions for first contacting the excavation object, which is the target, stress due to the reaction force from the excavation object is likely to occur. Therefore, it is particularly beneficial to detect early the loosening or breakage of the operation head 71a corresponding to the leftmost two-piece 10 and the rightmost two-piece 50.

[0029] (2) The upper overlapping plate portions of each of the two-piece units 10, 20, 30, 40 overlap so as to ride on the lower overlapping plate portions of each of the two-piece units 20, 30, 40, 50 located on the right side of these two-piece units 10, 20, 30, 40. The driver usually aligns the viewpoint with the left end portion of the two-piece board 1 and first contacts the excavation object, which is the target object, with this left end portion as the reference position. At this time, the left end portion of the two-piece board 1 receives the reaction force F1 (Fig. 3) from the excavation object, and the stress generated along with the reaction force F1 can be dispersed and received by all the two-piece units 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 according to the overlapping mode of the above-described upper overlapping plate portion and the lower overlapping plate portion. Therefore, the stress concentration on only the left end two-piece unit 10 is suppressed, and the breakage of the two-piece unit 10 is suppressed. Also, although the stress concentration is dispersed in this way, since a relatively large stress is likely to be applied to the left end two-piece unit 10 relatively frequently, as described in (1) above, it is particularly beneficial to detect early the loosening or breakage of the tightening of the operation head 71a corresponding to the left end two-piece unit 10.

[0030] (3) The gap SK between the inner peripheral surface of the anti-rotation holes 11g, 51g and the outer peripheral surface of the anti-rotation head 73a is set to 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm. If the gap SK is set to less than this numerical range, when the two-piece board 1 moves, there is a risk that force will be transmitted from the two-piece board 1 to the mounting pin unit 70, which may cause damage to the mounting pin unit 70 or the two-piece board 1. On the other hand, if the gap SK is set to a value exceeding this numerical range, there is a concern about the trouble that foreign matters such as stones and gravel will enter the gap SK. From the above viewpoints, it is preferable to set the above numerical range. In the above numerical range, it is possible to suppress the transmission of force from the two-piece board 1 to the mounting pin unit 70 and also suppress the trouble of foreign matter entry.

[0031] (4) The thickness Tb of the side wall portion 11b having the anti-rotation hole 11g is formed to be thicker than the thickness Ta of the side wall portion 11a having the head operation hole 11d. Thereby, even if foreign matter enters the gap SK between the inner peripheral surface of the anti-rotation holes 11g, 51g and the outer peripheral surface of the anti-rotation head 73a by any chance, it is suppressed that this leads to breakage or dropping accident of the two-tooth disc 1.

[0032] (5) A first convex portion 11f surrounding the periphery of the operation head 71a is formed on the outer surface of the side wall portion 11a. Thereby, wear, breakage or loosening of the operation head 71a due to contact with the excavated material can be suppressed. Also, the position of the operation head 71a can be easily confirmed even from a distance by the first convex portion 11f. Even if earth and sand enters the head operation hole 11d so as to hide the operation head 71a, the position of the operation head 71a can be confirmed by the first convex portion 11f.

[0033] (6) The convex amount of the first convex portion 11f serving as a mark of the operation head 71a is larger than the convex amount of the second convex portion 11i serving as a mark of the anti-rotation head 73a. For this reason, the positions of the operation head 71a and the anti-rotation head 73a can be easily confirmed even from a distance. In particular, when the thickness Ta of the side wall portion 11a is formed to be thinner than the thickness Tb of the side wall portion 11b, it is easy to form the convex amount of the first convex portion 11f to be larger than the convex amount of the second convex portion 11i. Also, since the head operation hole 11d formed in the side wall portion 11a and the anti-rotation hole 11g formed in the side wall portion 11b are formed with different sizes and shapes, the positions of the operation head 71a and the anti-rotation head 73a can be easily confirmed even from a distance.

[0034] As described above, the following configurations are disclosed in the above-described embodiment. (A) The two-tooth plate 1 is fixed to a plurality of adapters 5a to 5e of the bucket 5 by a mounting pin unit 70. The two-tooth plate 1 includes a plurality of two-tooth pieces 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 arranged in a state of being connected in the left-right direction, which is the direction in which the plurality of adapters 5a to 5e are arranged. The plurality of two-tooth pieces 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 each include adapter connection portions 11, 21, 31, 41, 51 into which the adapters 5a to 5e can be inserted. The adapter connection portions 11, 21, 31, 41, 51 include side wall portions 11a, 11b, 51a, 51b, which are examples of first and second side wall portions facing each other in the left-right direction via the adapters 5a to 5e. Head operation holes 11d, 51d in which operation heads 71a located at one axial end of the mounting pin unit 70 and rotated by a tool extending in the left-right direction through the adapters 5a to 5e are formed are formed in the side wall portions 11a, 51a. Anti-rotation holes 11g, 51g in which anti-rotation heads 73a located at the other axial end of the mounting pin unit 70 are located are formed in the side wall portions 11b, 51b.
