Work Vehicle Cab Bracket Assembly for Fast Detachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing configuration of damper mounts and limiting mechanisms in work vehicles, such as bulldozers, requires separate detachment from the vehicle body frame, making the process time-consuming and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A configuration where the cab is supported by rear side damper mounts and limiting sections integrated with brackets, allowing simultaneous removal of both components by detaching the brackets from the cab, enhancing the releasability of the cab from the vehicle body frame.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the damper mount and limiting mechanism are assembled separately to the cab, then each component can be independently installed and maintained, but both components must be removed when detaching the cab, making the detachment process time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the damper mount and limiting mechanism into a single integrated assembly that is attached to the cab as one unit. The limiting mechanism is incorporated into the damper mount structure, so that when the cab is detached, both components are removed simultaneously through a single detachment operation, eliminating the need to remove them separately and reducing the overall detachment time
2Ease of manufacture
If the damper mount and limiting mechanism are assembled separately to the cab, then the structure allows independent installation of each component, but the detachment process requires removing both components separately
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the limiting mechanism into the damper mount structure, creating a unified assembly rather than separate components. This integration reduces the number of separate parts that need to be managed during assembly and disassembly, simplifying the overall process while maintaining the functional benefits of both components

AI summary
A work vehicle includes a vehicle body frame, a cab disposed on an upper side of the vehicle body frame, brackets connected to the cab, limiting sections and buffering devices. The limiting sections are disposed between the brackets and the vehicle body frame. The limiting sections limit a movement range of the cab with respect to the vehicle body frame. The buffering devices are disposed between the brackets and the vehicle body frame.
