Definitions
- the present invention pertains to a wear assembly for protecting the digging edge of an excavating bucket or the like.
- the wear assembly includes a replaceable wear member that includes a pair of legs to straddle the lip (or sides) of an excavating bucket.
- One of the iegs is provided with a hole for receiving a lock to secure the wear member to the lip, while the other leg includes an upstanding rib along its inner surface. The rib extends axialiy rearward to be slidingly received into a slot of a base fixed to the lip for support.
- one of the legs of the wear member includes a rib having a rear end formed with a support surface that is free of the leg and faces away from the other leg.
- the support surface engages a holding surface of the base so as to hold the rear end of the rib between the base and the lip (or side) for support under load.
- the wear member includes an interior surface that faces and overlies the lip ⁇ or side) of the bucket.
- the interior surface has a front portion formed with a generally uniform curvature to wrap around the lip and a plurality of spaced apart stabilizing surfaces.
- the stabilizing surfaces extend generally parallel to the central axial plane of the lip for a unique combination of enhanced stability and reduced stress.
- the wear member and the base are formed with a tongue and groove coupling wherein the base is formed with a central groove and the wear member with a central tongue to fit within the groove.
- the tongue and groove each includes cooperating rails to secure the wear member to the base.
- the groove opens forwardly through the front end of the base to receive the tongue.
- the lock to secure the wear member to the bucket includes a body provided with a passage, a movable latch, and a wedge received into the passage to move the latch to its holding position to maintain the lock in the assembly during use.
- the lock includes a threaded wedge which is received into the lock body to move a latch to a position to retain the lock in the assembly.
- the latch is movable between a retaining position where the latch prevents unwanted loss of the lock and a release position where the latch permits removal of the lock.
- a threaded wedge is provided with a resilient materia! that is compressed by the complementary threaded surface to resist loosening of the threaded wedge.
- the resilient material is a strip of an elastomer fixed within the helical groove of the threaded wedge.

- a wear assembly 1 is provided for attachment to excavating equipment such as a bucket.
- the invention is discussed below in terms of the attachment of a shroud to the lip of a load-haul- dump (LHD) bucket.
- LHD load-haul- dump
- the invention is not limited to the attachment of a shroud or an LHD bucket.
- the present invention could be used to secure shrouds to a different kind of bucket, mount shrouds between spaced apart teeth, and/or secure other kinds of wear members (e.g., wings or adapters).
- one kind of lip is illustrated in the drawings, the invention could be used with other kinds of lips having other formations and cross sections.
- wings mounted along the sidewalis of the bucket adjacent the Np can have the same or similar construction.
- the digging edge of the bucket will be deemed to include the front edges of the bucket sides where the wings are mounted as well as the front edge of the lip.
- the invention is at times discussed in relative terms, such as up, down, front, rear, vertical, horizontal, etc., for the sake of easing the description. These terms are to be considered relative to the orientation of the elements in Figure 1 (unless otherwise noted), and are not to be considered limitations on the invention.
- the wear assembly can be used and oriented in a variety of ways.
- Wear assembly 1 includes a wear member 3, a base 5, and a lock 7 to releasably secure the wear member (Figs. 1 and 3).
- the wear assembly fits over and is secured to a lip 12 of a bucket or the like.
- Lip 12 includes an inside face 14, an outside face 16, and a front edge 17 (Fig. 2).
- Scallops or recesses 18 are preferably formed along the front edge 17 to accommodate passage of lock 7.
- Scallops 18 are each preferably formed to have a uniform, continual, arcuate surface 19 with a curvature that extends no more than about 180 degrees about an axis extending generally perpendicular to the lip to be easily manufactured and provide a robust base to resist the applied loads.
- a base 5 is fixed to lip 12 over each scallop 18 (Fig. 1).
- WhNe bases 5 are preferably welded to the lip, they could be cast as an integral part of the lip or secured by mechanicai means.
- the bases couid each be formed as a multiple of parts, which are integral or spaced apart, although a one-piece member is preferred for simplicity and strength.
- Each base 5 has a pair of legs 21, 22 that straddle lip 12 (Figs. 1 and 3-5).
- a first or inside leg 21 sets along inside surface 14 of lip 12 while a second or outside leg 22 sets along outside surface 16.
- Outside ieg 22 is longer than inside leg 21 to interlock with base 5.
- the legs couid be the same length or the inside leg longer.
- the base could have the opposite orientation with first leg 21 extending along outside face 16 and second leg 22 along inside face 14.
- Legs 21, 22 are interconnected by a front end 20.
- the second leg 22 includes a central, axial groove 26 provided with a pair of inwardly projecting raits 24 along its opposite sides 23 (Fig. 4).
- Rails 24 define holding surfaces 25 that are spaced from and facing outside face 16.
- Rails 24 cooperate with complementary rails 27 of wear member 3 to prevent the movement of leg 22 away from the lip.
- a brace 30 is preferably provided at the rear end of second leg 22 (Figs. 4 and 5), though it could be omitted.
- groove 26 extends into brace 30 to define an opening 31, which is between brace 30 and outer wall 16 when the base is welded to lip 12. While a closed opening 31 is illustrated, groove 26 could extend entirely through brace 30 to define an opening that is open on both ends. The opening could also be defined in ieg 22 without the addition of the brace. In either case, opening 31 receives a support 33 of wear member 3 to strengthen and resist breakage of the wear member under heavy loading.
- Groove 26 also opens forwardiy through the front end 20 of base 5 and is generally aligned with scallop 18.
- Brace 30 also preferably extends transversely beyond leg 22 to define a front wall 34 to abut the rear end 35 of shroud 3 and thereby reduce the rearward shifting of the shroud under load, which in turn, reduces the stress and wearing of wear member 3 on base 5.
- Brace 30 also preferably has an equal or greater depth than leg 22 to maximize the surface area in abutment with shroud 3, and to function as a deflector for earthen material when the movement of the bucket is reversed.
- a deflector face 36 inclined forward from outer face 16 is preferably formed along the rear side of brace 30 to direct the earthen materia! away from the assembled base and shroud.
- Leg 22 is preferably formed as an open framework with openings 37 to reduce the amount of needed steel and to facilitate welding of the base to the lip.
- the front end 20 of base 5 wraps around front edge 17 of lip 12 such that the interior surface 40 of the base (i.e., the surface that faces lip 12) is shaped to generally conform to the shape of the particular lip to which it is fixed ⁇ Figs. 1, 4 and 5), although derivations are possible.
- interior surface 40 includes an upright face 41 to set against front edge 17, an upper face 42 to set against ramp 43 of inside face 14, and a lower face 44 to set against outside surface 16. If the front of the lip had a curved or other shape, interior surface 40 would be changed to accommodate the shape of the lip.
- the front end 20 of base 5 preferably has a curved front bearing surface 48 to minimize stress concentrations and wearing between the wear member and the base.
- front surface 48 has a generally uniform curvature, though other configurations are possibie.
- a recess 51 is formed in first leg 21 in vertical alignment with groove 26 for receiving iock 7.
- Stabilizing surfaces 49 are formed in front end 20 proximate both legs
- Stabilizing surfaces 49 are preferably iimited in size so that front surface 48 is predominantly an uninterrupted generally uniform curved surface as it wraps around the front edge of the iip.
- the stabilizing surfaces are also preferably along the side 93 of base 5 for stability but could be provided at other locations.
- the upper and lower stabilizing surfaces 49 are generally aligned vertically by each side 93 such that the upper and lower stabilizing surfaces 49 by the one side 93 are generally aligned with each other, and the upper and lower stabilizing 49 by the other side 93 are generally aligned - though other positions are possible.
- Stabilizing surfaces 49, 50 are preferably planar and horizontal, i.e., parallel to the central axial plane P of lip 12.
- Wear member 3 which is a shroud in the illustrated construction, has a front working portion 66 that tapers to a narrowed front edge 68, and a rear mounting portion 70 that is bifurcated to define a first or inside leg 72 and a second or outside leg 74 (Figs. 1, 3 and 6-8).
- the wear member is configured to set over base 5 with legs 72, 74 straddling iip 12.
- wear member 3 fits over lip 12 with first leg 72 overlying inside surface 14 and second leg 74 overlying outside surface 16. Nevertheless, the legs could be reversed so that first leg 72 is the outside leg and second leg 74 is the inside leg.
- Wear member 3 has an interior surface 80 that faces and overlies the up.
- the interior surface 80 includes inner face 83 of outside leg 74, inner face 84 of inside leg 72, and the inner corner surface 86 at the intersection of legs 72, 74.
- Inner face 83 of leg 74 overlies leg 22 and outside face 16, and inside face 84 of leg 72 overlies leg 21 and inner face 14.
- Interior surface 80 along inner corner surface 86 has a central portion 88 and side portions 90.
- Central portion 88 generally matches front face 48 of base 5 and abuts against it during use.
- Central portion 88 is recessed relative to side portions 90 to form sidewails 91 juxtaposed to sides 93 of base 5 for increased lateral support. [36] in a preferred construction, interior surface 80 along central portion
- a front end 89 of interior surface 80 forms the uniform curved surface 86 and a pair of stabilizing surfaces 50 (Fig. 7) proximate each of the legs 72, 74 and central portion 88 to engage stabilizing surfaces 49 on base 5 (Figs. 4 and 5).
- the stabilizing surfaces 49, 50 provide better resistance and greater stability to wear member 3 under vertical loading.
- the stabilizing surfaces 49, 50 are limited to discrete locations, preferably extending only a small portion across the front ends of the wear member 3 and base 5 (collectively no more than half), and are preferably located at the sides of bearing surfaces 48, 86 for increased stability. In this way, the benefit gained by the curved bearing surfaces is not lost by the use of the stabilizing surfaces 49, 50. Transition surfaces 81, 87 are provided to ease contact between stabilizing surfaces 49, 50 and to avoid sharp corners where stress may concentrate.
- Rib 82 is provided upstanding on the inner face 83 of leg 74 in an axial orientation for receipt within groove 26 ⁇ Figs. 1, 3 and 6-8).
- Rib 82 includes rails 27 that cooperate with rails 24; i.e., rails 27 are received between lip 12 and holding surfaces 25 of rails 24 to support wear member 3 under certain loads.
- rib 82 with rails 84 preferably has a T-shaped configuration, other shapes, such as dovetail, could be used. Alternatively, there coutd be no rails in certain situations such as low load environments.
- Rib 82 preferably extends over at least half of leg 22, and most preferably over substantially the entire length of inner surface 83, for receipt within groove 26 to maximize the support available.
- the groove could be formed on wear member 3 and the rib on base 5.
- shroud 3 When shroud 3 is installed, it is slid over base 5 and lip 12 such that inside and outside legs 72, 74 straddle base 5 and lip 12.
- Rib 82 is slid into the open front end 75 of groove 26 in an easy to use manner so that rails 27 cooperate with rails 24 to hold leg 22 to lip 12.
- rib 82 extends beyond the rear end of leg
- support 33 to define a support 33 that is received in opening 31 beneath brace 30, although other kinds of rearward supports could be used.
- support 33 could be forward of the rear end of leg 74 provided it included a holding surface 95 free of the leg and facing away from the lip to engage a complementary support surface (like 94) of !eg 74.
- Support 33 is held between a support surface 94 and lip 12 for enhanced support of the wear member 3.
- the cooperation of support 33 and brace 30 supplements the resistance provided by rails 24, 27. By providing such a support at the rear end of leg 22, bending of the legs can be reduced, which in turn, lessens the risk of breaking the part. For example, as upward vertical loads are applied to front portion 66, shroud 3 tends to shift clockwise around front digging edge 17.
- Wear member 3 is assembled over base 5 with a direct, continuous rearward sliding motion where rib 82 is slid through open end 75 and into groove 26. The rearward movement of wear member 3 over base 5 is continued until inside corner surface 86 abuts front face 48 of base 5 (Figs. 3 and 11).
- rear wall 35 of outside leg 74 is preferably placed in close proximity to stop surface 34. With cast parts, it is not practical for inside corner surface 86 and rear wall 35 to simultaneously abut front face 48 and stop surface 34, respectively. However, by placing rear wall 35 in close proximity with stop surface 34, the two surfaces will typically abut under certain ioads and after a period of time as wear develops in the parts. While it is not preferred, stop surface 34 could be the primary bearing surface that first abuts rear wall 35, with inside corner surface 86 abutting front face 48 second.
- Lock 7 includes a body 101 with a front face 103 and a rear face 105, and a movable latch 107 (Figs. 9 and 10).
- iock 7 is inserted into hole 96 such that front face 103 opposes a rearwardly facing abutting wall 111 in recess 51, and rear face 105 opposes rear wail 113 in hole 96 and front wail 115 of rib 82 (Figs. 1 and 3).
- this waii could be formed by another projection or by an opening in leg 22.
- lock 7 passes through opening 96, scallop 18, and groove 26. In this position, lock 7 bars the removal of wear member 3 from lip 12.
- base 5 and wear member 3 could extend forward farther than shown to permit insertion of lock 7 without scallop 18.
- Latch 107 includes a rigid part 121 preferably composed of steel provided with a locking projection 122, and a resilient part 123 preferably formed of foam, rubber or other elastomer.
- the bottom end of rigid part 121 defines a fulcrum 130 to fit within recess 132 to form a pivot axis about which latch 107 moves.
- the resilient part preferably includes detents 125 for receipt within matching grooves 127 in body 101 to retain the latch in cavity 129, but could be secured by other means.
- latch 107 is pressed rearward against the bias of resilient part 123 by its engagement against wear member 3.
- a curved siope 131 eases the latch rearward into cavity 129 during insertion.
- the resilient part 123 biases rigid part 121 outward such that projection 122 engages beneath stop 133 to retain lock 7 in wear assembly 10.
- a pry too! is inserted along the curved slope 131 to retract latch 107 into cavity 129 until stop 133 is released. The pry too! can, through engagement with ledge 137 of latch 107, puli lock 7 from passage 54.
- top face 139 of rigid part 121 abuts top wall 141 of cavity 129 to enable the lock to be pried out through engagement with the latch.
- Pry slot 126 is also preferably formed on rear face 105 to engage either a second pry tool or an alternative pry location to help remove lock 7 from passage 54.
- a notch 117 is formed on top wait 119 to accommodate the receipt of a pry too during installation.
- Other means for inserting or removing the locks, or the use of other locks are possible.
- An alternative lock 200 can be used to secure wear member 3 to iip
- lock 200 uses a threaded wedge 202 such as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,171,771, incorporated herein by reference, instead of the elastomer as used in lock 7.
- Threaded wedge 202 has a rounded exterior 208 that tapers from the traiiing end 210 to the leading end 212 (Fig. 17).
- a helical groove 213 preferably extends the entire length of the wedge, though some portions of the wedge could remain unthreaded.
- a tool-engaging formation 214 for receiving a wrench or other tool is defined in trailing end 210 for turning of the wedge.
- Lock 200 also includes a body 204 and a latch 206 that are similar to the body and latch in lock 7 (Figs. 12-16).
- Body 204 is formed with a channe! 230 that receives latch 206 and threaded wedge 202 (Rg. 14).
- a hole 232 is formed in top side 234 to define an inlet end for receiving threaded wedge 202 into channel 230.
- a trough 236 with threads 238 in the form of at least one helical ridge segment and preferably a plurality of helical ridge segments 238a is preferably provided along the rear wail 239 of channel 230 to engage the helical groove 213 on threaded wedge 202.
- a recess 218 is formed at the bottom of channel 208 to receive and form a pivot support for fulcrum 220 of latch 206.
- latch 206 has essentially the same construction and function as latch 107; i.e., latch 206 has a locking projection 218, a fulcrum 220, a ledge 222 and a top face 224 (Figs. 12, 15 and 16).
- rear side 216 includes a recess 226 adapted to receive a front portion of threaded wedge 202 (Fig. 16).
- Retainers preferably in the form of elastomeric brakes 228 or the tike, may be optionally provided to press against wedge 202 and resist its loosening during use.
- a resilient material 229 may optionally be provided within helical groove 213 of threaded wedge 202 to engage ridges 238 and thereby resist loosening of the wedge (Fig. 18).
- the resilient material 229 is preferably a strip of rubber, foam, or other elastomer which is fixed within helical groove 213 by an adhesive.
- the resilient strip 229 preferably extends the entire length of groove 213, but could be formed only aiong part of the groove.
- the resilient strip 229 could be used alone or in combination with brakes 228.
- the threaded wedge 202 with resilient strip 229 can also be used in other wear assemblies such as disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,986,216 and 7,174,661 and U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/818,483, filed June 13, 2007, which are ail hereby incorporated by reference.
- lock 200 is inserted into assembly 1 like lock 7 (Fig. 12). Lock
