Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part application of a co-pending application entitled RESONANT BEAM FOR TOOL DRIVING APPARATUS, Serial No. 025,085, filed March 30, 1979, in which Raymond A. Gurries is named as sole inventor.
- This application relates to resonance driving equipment, and in particular to the application of resonance technology to loader buckets and similar earth-working equipment.
- Many attempts have been made to apply resonant technology, i.e., the use of a member vibrating at or near resonance, to earth-working equipment. Typically, such resonant devices use a straight beam which vibrates about two nodes, one end of the beam having a vibratory input and the other end of the beam providing a vibratory output. An example of such a device is found in a patent to Shatto, U.S. Patent No. 3,633,683. In certain situations, the ends of the vibrating beams are bent to apply forces at a desired angle, as illustrated in a second Shatto patent, U.S. Patent No. 3,563,316. However, most attempts to date to apply resonant technology to earth-working equipment have generally met with failure, perhaps the principal reason being that the equipment necessary to generate the desired output force was too cumbersome to serve as a practical adjunct to existing equipment.
- The present invention provides a mechanism for resonantly driving a moveable cutter blade located at the base of a concave tool. An angulate beam has first and second legs meeting at a juncture at an included angle of less than 180°. The beam includes a mounting flange which extends inwardly from the juncture between the legs. The beam has a resonant frequency, when restrained at the mounting flange, with a node at the juncture and first and second anti-nodes at the ends.
- One end of the beam receives a vibratory input at or near the resonant frequency so that the second end vibrates about a neutral position. The mounting flange is attached to the tool so that the angulate beam conforms to the concave shape of the tool. The neutral position of the second end of the beam is spaced from the back of the cutter blade within striking distance of the blade. The input vibration at the first end of the beam causes the second end to vibrate about its neutral position and impart forward impulses to the cutter blade to drive the blade intermittently forward.
- In the present invention, the beam is capable of being mounted to the tool on which the beam operates because of the mounting flange which extends inwardly between the legs of the beam. Accordingly, the angulate beam can be attached directly to the tool, and an outside source of support is not required. Moreover, the beam adapts to the concave shape of the tool, forming a compact unit. As a result, the resonance device of the present invention provides a reasonable alternative to simple actuators now in common use in such devices.
- The novel features are characteristic of the invention, as to organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof will be better understood from the following description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description only and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.

mining transporter 10 incorporating the features of the present invention is illustrated by way of reference to Figs. 1-3. However, it is to be understood that the apparatus of the present invention could equally as well be incorporated in other types of earth-moving equipment employing an earth-working tool such as a loading bucket or mold board. -
Mining transporter 10 includes arear power section 12 and aforward control section 14 connected by articulatingjoints 16. Hydraulic actuators such as 18 connectsections - A
loading bucket 20 is located at the front oftransporter 10. Loading bucket has a generallyconcave portion 22 andside walls lift arms forward section 14 oftransporter 10 bypins 27, 28. The forward ends oflift arms bucket 20 with a pin connection such as 30. Hydraulic cylinders such as 32 run from theforward section 14 oftransporter 10 to the midpoint of eachlift arm loader bucket 20. - A dump cylinder 34 extends from a
post 36 on theforward section 14 oftransporter 10 to apin connection 38 onloader bucket 20.Dump cylinder 24 extends or retracts to rotateloader bucket 20 about the pin connections such as 30 onlift arms - A
cutter blade 40 is located at the lower front edge ofloader bucket 20, and spans the entire width of the loading bucket.Cutter blade 40 is suspended by a pair ofhanger arms pin connections cutter blade 40 is free to reciprocate forwardly and backwardly with respect to the lower front edge ofloading bucket 20. - A pair of
compartments loading bucket 20. Eachcompartment forward member - An angulate resonant beam such as 50 is located in each
compartment Beams 50 are mirror images of one another and act in unison. Eachangulate beam 50 includes a pair oflegs central juncture 54.Leg 51 has anintegral housing 56 at one end, and aneccentric weight oscillator 58 is located within the housing.Leg 52 has an enlargedportion 60 at its free end forming a hammer, described in more detail hereinafter. - Legs 51, 52 of
angulate beam 50 meet at an included angle of preferably about 90°, and in any event substantially less than 180°. Aflange 62 extends inwardly betweenlegs ears flange 62.Bolts 65, 66 fastenears beam 50 to theforward surfaces respective compartments - Each compartment such as 45 includes a cavity such as 70 projecting forwardly to the forward edge of
loading bucket 20.Cutter blade 40 includes a pair of extensions such as 72 extending rearwardly throughcavity 70 to a position proximate the front surface ofhammer 60 at the end ofleg 52. - A motor is located within a
housing 76 at the upper back surface ofloading bucket 20. The motor has output shafts such as 74 extending transversely in each direction, and the eccentric weight oscillators such as 58 are mounted on the output shafts of the motor.Eccentric weight oscillator 58 is rotated at a frequency at or near the resonant frequency ofbeam 50, exciting the beam to at least near resonance. - At its neutral or rest position,
hammer 60 is spaced slightly behind theextension 72 projecting rearwardly fromcutter blade 40. When input vibrations are applied tobeam 50 byoscillator 58,hammer 60 at the end ofleg 52 vibrates about its neutral position, and strikes the rear ofextension 72 during its forward stroke. As a result, forward impulses are applied tocutter blade 40 to drive the cutter blade forward. - In the use of
mining transporter 10, a situation often occurs in which the vehicle is unable to provide sufficient forward tractive force to driveloading bucket 20 into the material to be loaded. When this situation occurs,eccentric mass oscillators 58 are actuated, resulting in forward impulses being applied byresonant beams 50 tocutter blade 40. These forward impulses drive the cutter blade into the material and dislodge earth which cannot be penetrated by the transporter acting alone. As a result, the necessity for loosening the earth prior to loading is substantially reduced, rendering the loading operation far more efficient than conventional loading techniques. The compact nature of the resonant system allows its incorporation in the device without the necessity for large, complex supports rendering prior resonant systems impractical. - While a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been illustrated in detail, it is apparent that modifications and adaptations of that embodiment will occur to those skilled in the art. However, it is to be expressly understood that such modifications and adaptations are within the spirit and scope of the present invention, as set forth in the following claims.
