Definitions

  • the invention relates to a street clearing device having a first scraping blade, preferably constructed of steel, and a second scraping blade, constructed of rubber or plastic.
  • the second scraper blade is adapted to be moved between an inoperative position and an operative position where it acts upon the street in place of the first scraping blade, and can be rotated about an axis substantially parallel to the operating edges of both scraping blades in the case of overloading when an obstacle is encountered.
  • PATENTEDNAY 7 I974 SHEET 3 BF 5 DOUBLE BLADED SNOWPLOW WITH OVERLOAD RELEASE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • a known type of street clearing device is a snowplow to the ploughshare of which is rigidly attached a first scraping blade consisting of steel.
  • a second scraping blade consisting of plastic material is connected over a height adjustment device with a bracing tube supporting the ploughshare from the back in such a manner that it can be dropped from an inoperative position behind the ploughshare into its operating position in which it is held by a spring so as to engage the back of the steel scraping blade and extend beyond the lower edge of the steel scraping blade in a sloping manner towards the front and bottom while the ploughshare with the steel scraping blade is lifted somewhat from the ground. If the plastic scraping blade is caught by an obstacle, it can turn together with the height adjustment device around the bracing tube towards the back while the ploughshare with the steel scraping blade maintains its operative, street-scraping position.
  • the plastic scraping blade is in a steeper position than planned, its clearing performance is reduced and it wears unnecessarily fast.
  • the working with the steel scraping blade is particularly crucial because, when it has to turn away towards the back when encountering an obstacle, it effects a turning motion of the entire plough including the height adjustment device of the plastic scraping blade during which process a large mass has to be accelerated so that a soft turningaway of the steel scraping blade is not possible.
  • it is, therefore, only permitted to drive slowly with the steel scraping blade which results, however, with the mostly heavy traffic load of the roads in the fact that soon a column of vehicles is delayed behind the snowplow.
  • the operation of the drive-over safety mechanism of the steel scraping blade results in the undesired fact that the snowplow remains ineffective until the ploughshare with the steel scraping blade has been turned towards the from again; as long as this has not taken place, the plastic scraping blade cannot operate, either. Since with dense road traffic, in particular if visibility is poor, it is too dangerous to interrupt the moving of the snowplow in order to tilt the steel scraping blade towards the front again, the snowplow is often forced to drive in its ineffective position until the next by-pass place so that the portion of the road between the obstacle which has triggered the drive-over safety mechanism and the bywise endangered.
  • both scraping blades are set up at a joint turning element which can be optionally located in a first angle-of-rotation position in which the first scraping blade assumes an operating position and the second one points towards the front or top, or in a second angle-of-rotation position in which the second scraping blade assumes an operating position and the first one points towards the back or top.
  • a joint turning element which can be optionally located in a first angle-of-rotation position in which the first scraping blade assumes an operating position and the second one points towards the front or top, or in a second angle-of-rotation position in which the second scraping blade assumes an operating position and the first one points towards the back or top.
  • an over-load second position in which the second scraping blade rotates further toward the back to an extent adequate (when combined with the flexibility of the second scraping blade) to pass over an obstacle.
  • the second scraping blade is automatically rotated to its approximate operating position so that the device can continue scraping directly behind the obstacle without having to adjust the device. If the device encounters an obstacle while the second scraping blade is in its operating position, the second scraping blade automatically rotates into the overload second position and automatically returns to said second position once the second scraping blade passes over the obstacle.
  • the two scraping blades prefferably to enclose an angle of approximately with one another while the angle-of-rotation distance of the second angle-of-rotation position from the first one amounts to approximately 90.
  • the second scraping blade cannot hinder the operation of the first one.
  • the first scraping blade is substantially perpendicular to the street or is very slightly tilted forward.
  • the angleof-rotation distance between the two fixed angle-ofrotation positions of the pivotable blade mounting member is on the other hand so small that a simple drive is sufficient in order to mechanize the turning motions of the pivotable blade mounting member.
  • the device for the locking of the pivotable blade mounting member is constructed in such a manner that after a revolution is effected through overloading of the first scraping blade, the pivotable blade mounting member engages automatically in its second angle-of-revolution position and only continues to turn to the overload second position in the case of the overloading of the second scraping blade.
  • the angle through which the pivotable blade mounting member can turn from the second operating position to the overload second position only needs to be small if the second scraping blade is sufficiently flexible.
  • the device for locking the pivotable blade mounting member can comprise a support member substantially radially movable in relation to the pivotable blade mounting member.
  • the pivotable blade mounting member rests flat on the support member when each of the first and second angle-of-rotation positions is achieved, ie when each of the two scraping blades is 3 in its respective operating position.
  • the support member has an eccentric surface formed thereon and includes a spring biased stop means.
  • the support member and/or the eccentric surface includes a lever 'arrangement whereby a lesser force need be provided to depress the spring biased stop means when moving the pivotable blade mounting member in the direction of rotation from the second position to the first position than is required to move the pivotable blade mounting member in the direction of the first position to the second position.
  • the road clearing device can, with its first scraping blade preferably consisting of hard steel plate, for example, be used in order to shave off side slopes at streets and roads covered with grass.
  • a rubber or plastic material blade provided as second scraping blade is especially suitable in order to return fine gravel laterally flung away by vehicles from the edge of the road into the roadway on paved roads.
  • the body of rotation is preferably partially cylindrical and is set up under a ploughshare in such a manner that the lower edge of the ploughshare acts as a wiper in the front.
  • the pivotable blade mounting member is set up at the lower front edge of a roller sector which, in a manner known in itself, can be tilted upwards against the resistance of a spring positioned around its geometric axis and lying behind the ploughshare.
  • the circumferential outer surface of the roller sector is in contact with the lower edge of the ploughshare.
  • an upward resilient connection may be disposed between the rotatable body carrying both scaper blades on the one hand and the ploughshare on the other hand, thus enabling the scraping blade in operation to avoid an obstacle by moving upwardly without requiring an upward movement of the heavy, relatively inert ploughshare.
  • the roller sector-could be constructed as a hollow body through the lower wall of which a shank of a bent lever pivoted at the first scraping-ledge extends the second shank of which lever is pivoted at the roller sector, and the piston rod of a pneumatic or hydraulic pistoncylinder unit being pivotally connected to the knee joint for driving the same.
  • a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder unit can also be provided for the turning back and forth of the pivotable blade mounting member.
  • Such a unit has a stationary mounting and can be tilted around an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the pivotable blade mounting member. This unit is held in its rest position by an elastic force.
  • the piston rod of such a unit has a fork at its free end.
  • the fork points radially with respect to the pivotable blade mounting member.
  • Each angle-of-revolution position in which the fork can come to rest is determined by an eccentric set-up pin as well as a guide rail leading the fork to the pin during the driving-out of the piston rod.
  • This drive for the pivotable blade mounting member carrying the scraping blades has the advantage that after a working stroke, the piston-rod can be brought in again and can be thereby completely separated from the pivotable blade mounting member so that during the normal operation, the piston-cylinder unit is not subject to any wear and cannot hinger a turning motion of the scraping blades made necessary by an obstacle.
  • the guide rails end respectively at such a distance in front of the appropriate pin that a projection or roller, the axis of which is substantially parallel to the pins, working together with the guide rails, can be moved between each pin and the guide rail belonging to it.
  • This construction renders it possible to provide, in addition to the pins and guide rails for the moving back and forth of the pivotable blade mounting member between two angles of revolution, positions in which respectively one scraping blade assumes its operating position, a further pin with a guide rail belonging to it which the fork can engage in order to turn the pivotable blade mounting member back into the operating position of the second scraping blade if this scraping blade has been turned towards the back into the overload second position through driving against an obstacle.
  • a further pin with appropriate guide rail can be set up between the two pins respectively assigned to an operating position in order to move the pivotable blade mounting member out of an intermediate position.

  • the device shown in FIGS. 1 and 1A comprises a carrier 12 having a U-shaped profile which extends across the width of the device and which can be connected to a vehicle (not shown) by means of a height adjustment device 14.
  • the height adjustment device 14 includes a vertical equipment plate 16 which is fastened to carrier 12, a likewise vertical vehicle plate 18 which is adapted to be fastened to the front of the vehicle, parallelogram-type guide rods 20 connecting the two plates 16 and 18 with one another, and a hydraulic pistoncylinder unit 22 the cylinder of which is pivoted at one end to the vehicle plate and the piston rod of which is pivotally connected at one end to the lower parallelogram guide 20.
  • the carrier 12 has side plates 24 extending downwardly, each side plate including a vertical slot 26 in which is engaging a pivot pin 28 of a pivotable blade mounting member 30.
  • a tie rod 32 is attached to each pivot pin 28 and extends through a hole in carrier 12 and is supported over a lock nut 34 screwed on the tie rod.
  • Also associated with each tie rod 32 is an axial thrust bearing 36, a cap 38, and a pressure spring 40, all disposed at the upper side of the carrier 12 and serving to support the pivotable blade mounting member 30 in a position resting against the lower side of the carrier 12.
  • the pivotable blade mounting member 30 consists essentially of a tube onto which a U-profile channel 42 is welded. Diametrically opposite to channel 42, a
  • the device can for example be used in order to shave off grass at the edge of a road.
  • the force of the tie rods 32 pulling the pivotable blade mounting member 30 upwards against carrier 12 prevents, in combination with the noncircular shape of the pivotable blade mounting member 30 given by the Uprofile of channel 42, any rotation of the pivotable blade mounting member 30.
  • the pivotable blade mounting member 30 turns according to FIG. 1A against the locking moment of the force of spring 40 in such a manner that the scraping blade 46 rotates towards the back, and if the angle of revolution illustrated in FIG. 1A is exceeded, the scraping blade 48 then rotates to an operative position adjacent the ground and pointing obliquely towards the front and bottom.
  • the resistance against such a turning can be adjusted at locking nuts 34. If it is desired to manually adjust the pivotable blade mounting member 30 from the operating position of the first scraping blade 46 into the operating position of the second scraping blade 48 or in the opposite direction, then the locking nuts 34 are loosened temporarily so that springs 40 become ineffective.

Flat surfaces 62 are formed in formed in the pivotable blade mounting member enclosing a right angle with one another.
  • Pressure spring 60 is held in a pneumatic cylinder 64 and presses upon the piston of this cylinder.
  • Cylinder 64 is pivotally connected by pin 66 to carrier 12'.
  • its piston counteracts spring 60 and swings lever 56 away from the pivotable blade mounting member 30' so that the pivotable blade mounting member can turn freely after the snowplow has been lifted from the ground with the height adjustment device 14. Therefore, the pivotable blade mounting member 30' can be turned manually in order to bring the steel scraping blade 46 into its operating position according to FIG. 4 instead of the plastic scraping blade 48 working in FIGS.
