Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional loader attachment mounting structures are difficult to use, incompatible with various loader sizes, and reduce work efficiency by immobilizing attachments, leading to potential vehicle overturning on slopes due to uneven weight distribution.
Innovation Solution
A loader attachment mounting apparatus with laterally movable attachment coupling units, hydraulic cylinder systems, and adjustable mounting holes for easy attachment and detachment of various attachments, allowing for left and right movement to maintain vehicle stability and align attachments without repeated vehicle positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional loader attachment mounting structure is used, then attachment can be mounted to loader, but it is not easy to mount and detach attachments and compatibility with different loader sizes is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting structure is divided into separate components: attachment coupling brackets that connect to the loader and attachment coupling units that connect to the attachment. These segments can move relative to each other laterally, allowing easy attachment and detachment while maintaining compatibility with different loader sizes through adjustable mounting holes.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment mounting apparatus is designed with universal compatibility to work with various loader sizes and different types of attachments (bale gripper, bucket, hook). The structure includes multiple mounting holes and adjustable components that can adapt to different configurations, making it a multi-functional system.
2Productivity
If attachment is mounted immovably in lateral directions, then attachment is securely fixed, but work efficiency is reduced due to inability to adjust position
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment coupling units are designed to be movable in lateral directions relative to the attachment coupling brackets. This dynamic capability allows the attachment to be adjusted left and right during operation, improving work efficiency while maintaining secure connection through the movable mounting mechanism.
3Reliability
If attachment is fixed to loader, then attachment is stable, but vehicle may overturn on slopes due to uneven weight distribution
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment coupling units can move laterally to adjust the position of the attachment relative to the vehicle's center of gravity. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the system to adapt to slope conditions by repositioning the attachment to maintain balanced weight distribution, preventing vehicle overturning while maintaining secure attachment.

AI summary
A loader attachment mounting apparatus for movable work vehicles is provided, which is used for mounting a work attachment, such as a bale gripper, a bucket or a hook, to the front end of a loader that is movably installed on the front surface of the movable work vehicles, such as a tractor. A loader equipped with the loader attachment mounting apparatus is also provided. In the loader attachment mounting apparatus, an attachment can be easily attached to and easily detached from the attachment mounting apparatus and the attachment mounted to the loader can be easily movable to the left and right, thus improving work efficiency and work reliability of the movable work vehicles. The apparatus includes left and right attachment coupling brackets connected to the loader, and an attachment transfer device including left and right attachment coupling units connected to the attachment coupling brackets.
