Definitions

  • the invention addresses the automotive industry and relates to a control console that controls mechanisms of construction equipment.
  • the invention in particular relates to a mechanism for position adjustment that adjusts position of the control console controlling mechanisms of construction equipment.
  • the control console provided in construction equipment are in general provided with joysticks thereon and these joysticks are employed in mechanical operations including load lifting and landing by controlling the mechanical arms or arrangements provided in the construction equipment and the like.
  • Gas springs are typically used in adjusting the position of a console by the prior art mechanism for position adjustment.
  • Some of the drawbacks in damper systems are: wire breakage, any failure in dampers or their insufficient resistance to harsh use conditions by an operator.
  • TR200300446 A national application numbered TR200300446 discusses that the columns in radius form of the joysticks that control the functions of excavator attachments of the excavator-loader construction equipment intended to be used for loading and excavating can be individually adjusted forward-upward and backward-downward in different operational positions with taking the hardest operational position of the operator into consideration.
  • An international application numbered US2004261300 relates to a modular control station of an excavator.
  • the control station has 2 control consoles attached to a support profile adjacent to a base of the excavator and having joysticks on their upper portion.
  • the control consoles can be kept in any desired position by controlling a hydraulic cylinder adjustable in several positions.
  • the upper portion of the control consoles is also supported with a joint, which also enables the upper portion to be movable linearly.
  • a further position adjustment mechanism for a control console of a construction machine is known from JP H04 138460U , which is considered to form the closest prior art.
  • An aim of the invention is to solve the aforementioned drawbacks, to eliminate all disadvantages, and to bring additional advantages to the structure.
  • the primary aim of the present invention is to eliminate the problem of wire breakage that occurs by the use of the prior art gas spring.
  • a mechanism formed of a structural gearing system and a shaft that guides the gears is developed.
  • Springs are also employed in the structure of the mechanism and said springs allow the position adjustment console to operate in idle mode.
  • a control console (1) is the structure that controls mechanisms of construction equipment, and is comprised of a base support (4), a movable body (3), and a control arm (2), and a position adjustment mechanism (100).
  • the base support (4) is an embedded support adjacent to the bottom of construction equipment, and it is also the structure in which the control console (1) is fixed.
  • the body (3) is connected to the base support (4), which is also the structure that bears the position adjustment mechanism (100) and the control arm (2) thereon.
  • the body (3) is capable of angularly moving together with the position adjustment mechanism (100) at a determined angle in clockwise and anticlockwise directions.
  • the control arm (2) is located on the uppermost point of the control console (1), which is the structure that controls the mechanisms of construction equipment.
  • a connector (5) is a part that allows said body (3) to rotate clockwise or anticlockwise, which is located between the base supports (4) and transits through the base supports (4).
  • Said connector (5) is a circular-section rod, and is supported by the rings on both sides of the base supports (4).
  • the position adjustment mechanism (100) is a mechanism that allows the control console (1) to move from its body (3) and adjusts the control console (1) relative to the position of operator.
  • the position adjustment mechanism (100) generally is comprised of a trigger (110), a transfer arm (120), a coupling mechanism (130), a fixed gear (140), and 2 idle springs (150) as well as it is in a mirrored position on front and back faces of the base support (4).
  • the coupling mechanism (130) is formed of a main coupling (131), an additional coupling (132), a retaining spring (133), a bushing (134), and a movement clearance (135), which allow the body (3) to be located in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.
  • the main coupling (131) has a particular geometry in a "Y" shape, and is also adjustable by being coupled to the body (3) together with the bushing (134) at its one end and to the transfer arm (120) via the movement clearance (135) at its other end in addition to the fixed gear (140) due to its ribbed structure relative to the position of the body (3) at its other free end.
  • the additional coupling (132) has a particular geometry in a "1" shape, and is also adjustable by being coupled to the body (3) together with the bushing (134) at its one end and to the transfer arm (120) via the movement clearance (135) at its other end in addition to the fixed gear (140) due to its ribbed structure relative to the position of the body (3) at its other free end.
  • the retaining spring (133) is the spring that forces the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132) to be in idle position if it is in idle position while to be in coupling position if it is in coupling position, and is located at the point where the transfer arm (120) is connected to the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132).
  • the bushing (134) allows the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132) to be connected to the body (3), and also enables the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132) to move angularly at a determined angle around the point where they are supported to the body (3).
  • the movement clearance (135) is a duct at a determined length at the point where the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132) pass through the body (3), and also allows the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132) to move in a (+x) or (-x) direction. Furthermore, it preferably comprises two coupling gears (131.1) that enable communication between the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132), and the fixed gear (140).
  • the trigger (110) is located close to the control arm (2) at the upper portion of the control console (1).
  • the trigger (110) can be driven by hand or foot.
  • the trigger (110) can be integrated to the position adjustment mechanism (100) as an arm when it is intended to be driven by hand while it would be integrated to the same as a pedal when it is intended to be driven by foot.
  • the trigger (110) enables the coupling mechanism (130) to switch to idle mode or coupling position.
  • it comprises a trigger body (112) configured between the trigger (110) and the transfer arm (120), and also a trigger mechanism (111) having a joint point (113).
  • the transfer arm (120) is coupled to the trigger (110), and is an arm extending from the trigger (110) to the coupling mechanism (130).
  • the transfer arm (120) transfers the movement of the trigger (110) to the coupling mechanism (130).
  • a cocoon duct (131.2) is formed on the main structure, which allows movement of one end of the main coupling (131) in communication with the retaining spring (133).
  • the fixed gear (140) is connected to the base support (4) on 2 faces of the later, and is engaged thereto when the coupling mechanism (130) shifts to coupling position. This coupling position is ensured by the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132).
  • the control console (1) would be adjusted and fixed in a desired position once the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132) are engaged to the fixed gear (140).
  • idle springs (150) are the springs that are connected to 2 sides of the movement direction of the body (3).
  • the idle springs (150) allow the body (3) to move at a determined angle in clockwise or anticlockwise direction and also smoothly with a determined force when the coupling mechanism (130) is in idle mode.
  • the idle springs (150) are characterized by its particular structure that displaces, in other words, contracts or extends in clockwise or anticlockwise direction relative to movement direction of the body (3). When the body (3) moves in clockwise or anticlockwise direction, one of the idle springs (150) contracts while the other extends.
  • the body (3) connected on the base support (4) performs a partial angular movement in clockwise or anticlockwise direction.
  • the operator releases the trigger (110).
  • the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132) switches to the fixed gear (140) and retains the control console (1).
  • the main coupling (131) and the additional coupling (132) rotate mutually, it restricts and retains movement of the body (3) in clockwise or anticlockwise direction with the gravitational force of the retaining spring (133).
