Industrial applicibility
Disclosed tool holding system is applicable to any operation with dismountable GET such as lip cover, wing covering
Equipment.Some advantages may be associated with disclosed tool holding system.Tool holding system can show improved performance.
In order to which lip cover 26 is clamped into lip 24, fixture 52 is inserted into hole 34 and 42, as shown in Figure 4.As general
When fixture 52 is positioned in the position shown in Fig. 4, the first inner surface 86 on clamp arm 82 closer to top 74 can be towards lip
The top surface of the mounting portion 32 of cover 26, and the generally flat surfaces 92 of fixture 52 can pull into the hole in lip cover 26
34 generally flat rear surface 38.Because the respective surfaces of fixture 52 and lip cover 26 are generally flat, work as lip cover
26 when being clamped to lip 24, and fixture 52 can be retained on the appropriate location in hole 34 and 42 securely.First on clamp arm 82
Inner surface 86 can separate a fixed gap when lip cover 26 is clamped to lip 24 with the top surface of the mounting portion 32 of lip cover 26, and
When material is loaded in scraper bowl 10, the space may reduce (such as so that the first inner surface 86 can contact mounting portion 32
Top surface).
The generally curved surface 96 of fixture 52 can be between the rear surface 46 generally bent of the hole 42 in lip 24
Separate certain radial gap.The space may be enough to allow when fastener 58 is rotated to promote fixture 52 to abut lip cover 26 and lip
Fixture 52 is pulled during portion 24, and sufficiently small to allow the relative compact of holding system 50.As a result, on the rear side 72 of fixture 52
(for example, on the 3rd inner surface 90) sets generally flat surfaces 92 and generally both permission fixtures 52 of curved surface 96 to tie up
Relatively stable and firm positioning of the fixture 52 relative to the generally plane back surface 38 of the hole 34 in lip cover 26 is held, together
When also maintain sufficiently large space after generally the bending of hole 42 in fixture 52 and lip 24 between surface 46, to allow
When fastener 58 is rotated so that fixture 52 is abutted into lip cover 26 and lip 24, fixture 52 is pulled.
After fixture 52 is inserted in hole 34 and 42, wedge-shaped component is also inserted into hole 34 and 42, and fixed
Position on the side of fixture 52 so that fixture 52 to be held in position, as shown in Figure 3.Wedge-shaped component can be with being positioned at wedge 54
Recess 108 in sliding block 56 and fastener 58 insert together.The rear side 102 of wedge 54 can towards the front side 70 of fixture 52,
And when wedge 54 is inserted into hole 34 and 42, the groove 80 on the engageable fixture 52 of tooth 120 on sliding block 56.Wedge
54 front side 100 can contact the preceding surface 44 of hole 42 and can be generally parallel to the generally flat surfaces 92 of fixture 52.
Fastener 58 and then rotatable to promote clamping element 52 to abut lip cover 26 and lip 24.When fastener 58 rotates and slides
Block 56 along fastener 58 move when, wedge 54 is forced into hole 34 and 42.The movement of wedge 54 can with by pressing from both sides
The back edge that tool 52 generates in lip cover 26 and lip 24 is corresponding so that when wedge 54 is further forced into the He of hole 34
When in 42, fixture 52 is urged into against lip cover 26 and lip 24.
Fastener 58 can be rotatably set in wedge 54 and by annular projection 110 in recess 108 it is placed in the middle.Tightly
The bottom tapered surfaces 138 of the first collar 134 on firmware 58 can contact the inclined-plane 112 of annular projection 110 and be supported on
Thereon, fastener 58 is maintained into the center in recess 108.As a result, the stress on fastener 58 can be reduced, this can permit
Perhaps there is higher torque on fastener 58.
In order to unclamp the connection between lip cover 26 and lip 24, fastener 58 can rotate so that wedge in the opposite direction
54 move up from hole 34 and 42.Therefore, fastener 58 can be configured to position of the adjustment wedge 54 relative to fixture 52, and
Holding system 50 can allow lip cover 26 to pass through the rotation of fastener 58 to be detachably connectable to lip 24.
When dismantling wedge-shaped component from hole 34 and 42, the rotatable enough amounts of fastener 58 are to allow on fastener 58
Second collar 150 abuts the basal surface of annular projection 110.Fastener 58 and sliding block 56 and then available wedge 54 are (for example, use
Suspension ring 118) lifted.
After desired back edge is obtained, lid 60 attaches to the head 130 of fastener 58 relatively firm to be formed
Fastening system.As described above, the gear teeth 140 on the head 130 of the engageable fastener 58 of gear teeth 168 in lid 60, and cover
60 interior section 170 is inserted into the opening 144 in the head 130 of fastener 58.Slit 174 in interior section 170
Interior section 170 can be allowed fully to shrink to allow interior section 170 to be inserted into opening 144, and the part of ball-shaped end 172
It can be caught in the appropriate location in the cavity 148 in opening 144.As a result, when material is loaded or unloaded from scraper bowl 10, lid 60 can
Auxiliary permission material (for example, concrete, dust etc.) flows through holding system 50.It can prevent material stream from getting lodged in fastener 58
Head 130 neutralize around (for example, getting lodged in opening 144, the recess 114 that gets lodged in recess 108 and get lodged in wedge 54
It is medium).When keeping system 50 to need to adjust and/or remove, detachable cover 60, and for example by using tool ejector material,
Fastener 58 is rotatable, but does not clear up around (or rarely clearing up) head 130.In addition, ball-shaped end 172 is clipped to opening
Relatively firm and detachable connection can be set in the cavity 148 in 144 between lid 60 and fastener 58.
When lid 60 is attached to the head 130 of fastener 58, projection 162 can be configured to the recess extended in wedge 54
In 114, as shown in Figure 15.The side wall 116 of recess 114 can prevent or limit projection 162 and be rotated around axis A (Figure 14), this
Prevented also from or the rotation of limitation lid 60 (and prevent or limit the fastener 58 caused by the soldered tooth gear teeth 140 and 168
Corresponding rotation).As a result, lid 60 can prevent or limit the unexpected rotation of fastener 58, and can be locked in fastener 58 suitable
Work as position.In addition, by inserting a tool into the first removal feature 176 or the second removal feature 178, can relatively easily tear open
Unload lid 60.
It will be obvious to one skilled in the art that various modifications can be carried out to disclosed tool holding system and are changed
