Definitions

  • the invention relates to a front loader assembly for an agricultural vehicle with a console and a mast assembly for attaching a front loader to the console, wherein the mast assembly comprises a support for placing on a bearing of the console and a displaceably arranged locking element which displaceable from an unlocked position into a locking position in which the locking element extends through at least one first opening formed on the mast arrangement and through at least one second opening which can be brought into alignment with the first opening and formed on the bracket.
  • Front loader arrangements ie the arrangement of a front loader on a vehicle, in particular on an agricultural vehicle, or also on another type of commercial vehicle, are known.
  • front loaders can be connected or attached to a vehicle, for example a tractor or an agricultural tractor, by means of a mounting frame or console in order to carry out loading work.
  • the attachment frame or the console is usually screwed to the vehicle frame or is attached to this.
  • the front loader itself has a connection or attachment point or mast arrangement that is connected to the console or mounted or articulated.
  • various possibilities are known.
  • some known embodiments of front loader arrangements have mechanisms which provide two hooks formed on the console which serve to receive two bearing pins formed on the mast assembly of the front loader, at least one of the catch hooks being locked after receiving the bearing pins.
  • the inclusion of the bearing pin is done by bringing it the console or approaching the vehicle to the mast assembly or to the front loader, which is located in the corresponding parking position or mounting position. After receiving the bearing pin locking the catch hooks can be done manually or semi-automatic or fully automated or foreign motor or remote controlled.
  • Other mechanisms provide that the console has only one catch hook, which serves to receive a formed on the mast assembly bearing pin.
  • connection opening are further formed in each case on bracket and mast assembly, which, brought into alignment with each other, are connected to each other via a locking bolt and through which a locking bolt is guided.
  • the lock can be done manually or semi-automatically or fully automated or foreign motor or remote controlled.
  • Such a partially automated locking discloses the US 2007 / 0059147A1 in which a front loader assembly is presented, which comprises a spring-biased locking bolt, which is actuated by trained on a mast assembly and a console actuators by the actuators by relative movement to trigger a lock, such that the locking bolt by spring force in the mast assembly and is formed on the console of the front loader assembly formed connecting openings.
  • a front loader assembly which comprises a spring-biased locking bolt, which is actuated by trained on a mast assembly and a console actuators by the actuators by relative movement to trigger a lock, such that the locking bolt by spring force in the mast assembly and is formed on the console of the front loader assembly formed connecting openings.
  • To unlock the locking bolt against the spring force must be led out manually from the connection openings and the adjusting elements are brought into a corresponding unlocked position.
  • the disadvantage here is that in particular the design and arrangement of the formed on the mast assembly control element, as well as its Connection with the locking bolt require a relatively complex
  • the object underlying the invention is seen to provide a front loader arrangement of the type mentioned, by which the aforementioned disadvantages are overcome.
  • a front-end loader arrangement of the type mentioned above is formed such that the locking element via a connecting element with an offset parallel to the locking element arranged actuating element, preferably rigidly connected, wherein the actuating element actuated by a foreign force and the locking element by means of the connecting element and by actuating the actuating element the unlocking position is displaceable in the locking position.
  • a likewise uncomplicated and easily executable connecting element such as a connecting plate, a connecting rod, a connecting rod, a connecting pipe, etc.
  • a connecting plate for example by a spring force or by a connected hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical or mechanical actuator, wherein the locking element is carried on actuation or displacement or movement of the actuating element via the connecting element.
  • the external force acting on the actuating element can thus be transmitted to the locking element and act on the latter.
  • the geometric dimensions of the actuator can be made arbitrary, so that here is a simpler and more compact design favors, since it is not directly related to the actuation required actuating elements or actuators to the relatively large dimensions of a locking element.
  • the actuating element and the locking element are displaceably mounted or guided on the mast arrangement, wherein the locking element when moving the
  • Actuating element is moved together with the actuating element, guided in parallel.
  • the mast assembly is formed by two opposing mirror-image plates, which are interconnected via one or more webs. Said displaceable mounting of the actuating bolt can take place, for example, via recesses formed on both metal sheets through which the actuating element can extend or in which it is guided.
  • the usually robust design of a locking element on a front loader also allows a correspondingly robust bearing or guiding the locking element, which can accommodate relatively large bearing forces. Accordingly, the guide or storage of the actuating element can be relatively simple and uncomplicated, as the majority of the on the actuator acting forces is absorbed by the rigid connection between the locking, connecting, and actuating element of the trained for the locking element guide or storage.
  • the actuating element can be connected to an actuator, which is hydraulically, electrically, pneumatically or electromechanically adjustable and exerts a force on the actuating element.
  • actuators for example, hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, stepper motors, spindle motors or other types of electric motors can be used.
  • the front loader assembly comprises a locking device with which the actuating element can be locked in the unlocked position.
  • the actuating element In the unlocked position, the actuating element is biased or acted upon by the above-mentioned force for actuation such that it is moved into the locking position as soon as the lock is released.
  • the locking is on the other hand made automatically when the actuator is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position.
  • the locking device may comprise a mounted on the mast assembly locking lever, which is urged or biased by a further or second spring in a locking position in which the locking lever in the Unlocking position with a trained on the actuator paragraph can be brought into engagement.
  • the locking lever in this case has an actuating surface which can be brought into engagement with the console such that the locking lever is moved against the spring force of the second spring out of the locking position.
  • the locking lever is arranged such that when connecting the front loader or the mast assembly to the vehicle or to the console of the locking lever is actuated by contact with the console or with a part connected thereto, so that the lock is automatically released.
  • the locking lever may be formed as a rocker arm or rocker arm or pendulum lever, wherein it is connected at one end of the lever with the spring and engageable at the other end of the lever with the console.
  • the spring for actuating the actuating element may be formed, for example, as a helical spring, wherein conical springs or truncated cones or barrel springs may be used here. These can be designed as tension or compression springs.
  • the actuating element and the locking element are designed as round bolts, which may be formed solid or hollow as a pipe or pipe profile. Unlike the locking element, the actuating element can also have a rectangular cross-section, since it does not have to perform a rotational movement about its longitudinal axis, but only a translational movement or displacement (it is arranged in both the transverse, so radial, and longitudinally displaceable, however not rotatable about its longitudinal axis). The locking element, however, can undergo a rotational movement (about its longitudinal axis) as well as a translatory movement (in the direction of its longitudinal axis).
  • the actuating element is mounted displaceably in guide openings formed on the mast arrangement such that in an unlocking position the locking lever can be brought into engagement with its actuating surface with the console in engagement with the shoulder on the actuating element. That is, when the lock lever is engaged with the bracket and the spring is in the cocked condition for biasing the lock lever, the actuator may translate in the direction of the lock lever. be moved in the transverse direction to its longitudinal axis, so that the actuating element is moved in the direction of the locking lever and the locking lever with the shoulder on the actuating lever is engageable.
  • the locking element performs the above-mentioned rotational movement, so that when translational displacement of the actuating element by the rigid connection between the locking and actuating element, the first set in a rotational movement and the latter is moved on a circular path around the locking element.
