Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a splitting device for logs, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a splitting device is made US 4398581 A known.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a splitting device for logs available, which with a simple, yet durable Design allows high splitting forces and advantageously short set-up times.
  • the splitting device according to the invention for logs which is on a frame member of a vehicle or a movable implement, in particular the subframe of a mobile chipper, mounted or mounted, in this case has a splitter and connected to the splitter splitting fork, in which a log is inserted, wherein the splitter has a splitting wedge for splitting a log inserted into the splitting fork and the splitting device has a pivoting arrangement with which the splitter can be pivoted about an axis parallel to the Ausschiebeachse the splitting wedge pivot axis for adaptation to the orientation of the log.
  • the inventive gap device can be such.
  • B. be mounted on the hacker subframe next to the crane.
  • the cleaved trunk is thereby held with the crane in the gap fork, that an end face of the trunk protrudes only slightly over the split fork and the trunk is arranged with its longitudinal direction substantially perpendicular to the Ausschieb axis of the splitting wedge, so that the riving knife in the vicinity a trunk end is located on one side of the Holzstammministers.
  • the splitting process is initiated, in which the splitting wedge penetrates laterally into the trunk.
  • the trunk can be completely lowered by the crane, whereby due to the rotatability of the splitter by the pivoting arrangement, the splitting rack position adapts.
  • the splitter is austeleskopierbar parallel to the Ausschiebeachse from a transport position to a working position.
  • the splitting device according to the invention can be so firmly mounted on the hacker subframe and telescoped out if necessary, so that there are only minimal set-up times. During transport or when the splitter is not needed, it can be telescoped again to save space.
  • the split fork is pivotally hinged to the splitter and is unfolded when Austeleskopieren the splitter on a positive guide and / or collapsed during Einteleskopieren a forced operation. This reduces the space requirement of the inventive splitting device in the transport position again. If, on the other hand, the splitter is moved to the working position, the splitting fork is automatically unfolded during the ejection movement of the splitter.
  • the splitter can be pushed further into an end position. Further advantageously, the split fork is automatically secured after folding in the transport position.
  • a lever mechanism is provided, via which the forced operation and the backup takes place.
  • the pivoting assembly is blocked in the transport position.
  • the splitter according to the invention is thus pivotable in the working position to transmit no torques on the frame when splitting the inserted trunk, in contrast, in the transport position rigidly on the mobile chipper secured.
  • the pivoting possibility is blocked just before reaching the transport position on the frame element, in particular on the lower frame of the mobile chipper, arranged gate rollers.
  • the splitter according to the invention has a triple telescope, the outer tube via the pivoting assembly on a frame member, in particular the subframe of a mobile chipper, mounted or mounted, the center tube is austeleskopierbar a hydraulic cylinder and carries the split fork, and the inner tube carries the riving knife and can be pushed out over a splitting cylinder.
  • the splitter is austeleskopierbar and relative to the frame member, in particular the subframe of a mobile chipper, is pivotable.
  • outer, middle and inner tube are designed as a square tube.
  • the split fork is pivotally hinged to the center tube, wherein a lever mechanism is arranged on the outer tube, over which the Ausseleskopieren the center tube, the folding pliers unfolded and / or folded when Einteleskopieren the center tube.
  • the splitting fork is pivotally hinged to the splitter and has at its free end two tips with an exception therebetween, wherein the splitting fork can be folded in the transport position over the splitter, that the tips are arranged on both sides of the splitter.
  • the pivot axis of the split fork relative to the splitter is substantially parallel to the loading direction of the logs.
  • the present invention further comprises a vehicle or mobile working device, in particular a mobile hoeing machine, with a splitting device, as described above, wherein the splitter via the pivoting arrangement relative to the vehicle or movable working device is pivotable.
  • the splitting device is in this case mounted on a frame element of the vehicle or of the movable working device, in particular on the subframe of a mobile hoeing machine, so that the splitter can be pivoted via the pivoting arrangement relative to the frame of the vehicle or movable working device, so that the splitter with the splitting fork can be adapted can be pivoted about the orientation of the inserted into the split fork log around an axis parallel to the Ausschiebeachse the splitting wedge pivot axis.
  • the pivot axis of the pivoting arrangement is aligned substantially horizontally.
  • the split fork thus forms an upwardly open receptacle, in which logs can be inserted to be split by lateral insertion of the splitting wedge into the log. Due to the pivotability of the splitter, a tilting of the splitting device relative to the log is prevented and the forces occurring during a movement of the log are minimized, so that a good gap performance is ensured and damage to the splitter is prevented by a movement of the log.
  • FIG. 1 shows the embodiment of the inventive splitting device with an inserted log 1.
  • the splitting device in this case has a splitter with a retractable splitting wedge. With the splitter, a gap fork 3 is connected, which forms an upwardly open receptacle for the trunks.
  • a gap fork 3 of the tree trunk 1 is inserted so that the longitudinal axis 20 of the log substantially perpendicular to the Ausschiebeachse 21 of in FIG. 1 invisible splitting wedges, which is laterally inserted into the log 1, is arranged.
  • the splitting device in this case has a pivoting arrangement, with which the splitter can be pivoted about an axis parallel to the Ausschiebeachse 21 of the splitting wedge pivot axis 22 for adaptation to the orientation of the log 1.
  • the swivel assembly comprises in the embodiment 2 along the pivot axis 22 arranged bearing points 5, via which the gap device about the pivot axis freely pivotable on a frame member of a vehicle or movable implement, in the embodiment of the subframe of a mobile chipper, mountable.
  • the gap device according to the invention by the free pivoting about the pivot axis 22 of the orientation of the tree trunk 1 adapt, z. B. if this is stored on the ground and so rests with one end in the split fork 3 and with the other end on the ground and thus has an obliquely downwardly extending longitudinal direction 20. Without the pivoting assembly 5 high torques would be transmitted via the splitting device to the frame of the implement during such a movement of the tree trunk, so that the splitter would be significantly burdened. Moreover, if the splitting wedge 4 has already been driven into the tree trunk, the tree trunk 1 would act as a lever between the splitting tongs 3 and the wedge 4, and could so destroy the entire splitting device.
  • the splitting device adapts to the orientation of the tree trunk 1, so that this load and the corresponding damage can be effectively prevented.
  • the pivotability ensures the correct alignment of the splitting wedge against the trunk, which allows a safe splitting.
  • the articulation elements 18 are shown by means of which the pivoting arrangement 5 is pivotably mounted on a frame element of a vehicle or movable working device, in particular on the subframe of a mobile hoeing machine.
  • the articulation elements 18 are screwed or welded to the frame element and have articulation points 19, which are bolted in alignment with the articulation points 5 on the splitting device.
  • the bearing points 5 on the gap device are arranged on collar elements 24 on the outer tube 12, wherein the collar elements 24 between two plates of the hinge elements 18, in which the arm-side pivot points 19 are angerage, are arranged.
  • the splitter is according to the invention austeleskopierbar parallel to the Ausschiebeachse 21 from its transport position into a working position.
  • the splitter is constructed as a triple telescope, with an outer tube 12 which can be mounted on the pivoting assembly 5 on the frame member of the mobile chipper pivot.
  • an outer tube 12 is a center tube 2 austeleskopierbar about the hydraulic cylinder 13.
  • the inner tube 26, which z. In FIG. 3 can be seen, while wearing the splitting wedge 4, which can be pushed out via a splitting cylinder, which is arranged in the central tube 2.
  • the inner tube 26 can be inserted and ejected via the splitting cylinder, which is arranged within the central tube 2.
  • the splitting cylinder is mounted on a bearing point 23 at the rear end of the central tube 2 and a bearing point 25 on the inner tube 26.
  • the inner tube 26 carries at its head end the splitting wedge 4, which has a cutting element and a wedge element.
  • the split fork 3 is pivotally mounted at the head end of the central tube 2, wherein the pivot axis 11 extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 20 of the inserted in the split fork 3 log. Furthermore, a lever arrangement of levers 6 and 7 is provided, which folds in and out the split fork 3 when the middle tube 2 is being scanned in and out. The lever arrangement is arranged on the outer tube 12 and engages via a recess 8 of the rigid levers 6 pivotally hinged lever member 7 on pin 9 of the split fork 3. Furthermore, in each case a guide 10 for the free end of the lever element 7 is provided on the gap fork 3 in addition to the pin 9.
  • the splitter is telescoped and thus automatically the gap fork 3 unfolded, so that the receptacle 16 of the split fork points upward.
  • the exception 16 of the split fork 3 has substantially the shape of a semicircle, so that a tree trunk can be inserted from above into the split fork 3.
  • the gap fork 3 is already fully unfolded, so that the tips 14 of the free end of the split fork 3 are opposite the riving knife 4.
  • the tips 14 have hook elements 27, which are pressed during the splitting operation in the riving knife 4 opposite side of the tree trunk and keep it safe.
  • the split fork 3 consists of a frame construction with two semicircular side walls, which are connected to each other via cross struts. At the articulating end, these side walls on Anlenkbuchsen, via which the gap fork 3 is pivotally mounted on the central tube 2 on the pivot axis 11. At the free end, these side walls form two tips 14, between which a recess 15 is located.
  • the split fork can be folded in the transport position on the splitting device, as in FIG. 4 is shown.
  • the split fork 3 is folded so far that the laterally arranged tips 14 are arranged adjacent to the retracted center tube 2, so that there is an extremely space-saving arrangement.
  • FIG. 3 shows the splitting device in a partially telescoped position, FIG. 4 in the transport position, in which the center tube and the inner tube are completely telescoped.
  • a lever assembly is provided on the outer tube 12, mutually rigid levers 6 are arranged, on which a lever element 7 is pivotably mounted.
  • the lever element 7 has at its free end an exception 8, which cooperates with a pin 9 which is arranged laterally on the gap fork 3.
  • FIG. 3 In this case, the split fork 3 is completely unfolded, so that the guides 10 are no longer supported on the lever element 7.
  • the center tube 2 with the gap fork 3 can now be further into the in FIG. 1 shown working position are extended.
  • the lever element 7 comes with the pin 9 and guides 10 on the split fork out of engagement and is held in this position by the holding elements 28 which abut counter-elements on the rigid levers 6. If the center tube 2 telescoped back with the split fork from the working position, the free ends of the lever member 7 come back with the pin 9 and the guides 10 on the split fork 3 into engagement, so that the split fork 3 automatically folds in further Einteleskopieren.
  • the lever arrangement secures the gap fork 3 in the transport position.
  • the gap device according to the invention thus meets the requirement of high splitting forces, short set-up times and high stability and longevity.
  • the splitting device is mounted on the subframe of the mobile hoeing machine next to the crane and unfolded as needed. If the splitter is moved into the working position during a part of the ejection movement, the gap fork 3 is opened and pushed further into the end position. In the working position, the splitter is freely rotatable about the pivot axis 22, which runs parallel to Ausschubachse 21, mounted to the columns of the inserted trunk 1 no To transmit torques to the Ausschubachse 21 of the splitting wedge 4 on the frame and to avoid damage to the splitting device.
  • the cleaved trunk is held by the crane in the gap fork 3, that an end face of the trunk protrudes only slightly beyond the gap fork 3.
  • the splitting process is initiated. If the splitting wedge 4 begins to penetrate into the trunk 1, the trunk can be completely lowered by the crane, the orientation of the splitting fork 3 and of the splitter being adapted to the alignment of the trunk due to the pivotability. Now the trunk lies with one side in the split fork and with the other side on the ground, which causes a corresponding deflection of the entire splitter. Now you can finish the splitting process and then remove the upwardly split stem part with the crane. The sufficiently split trunk can now be hacked in the hacker.
