Abstract

A pivotal heat exchanger assembly for a construction machine includes a first heat exchanger removably mounted to a main frame. A side plate connected to the first exchanger includes opposed side walls 50,54. A second heat exchanger 90 is removably mounted to the side walls of the side plate at an upper pair of spaced mounting mechanisms (154, figure 2) and is pivotably mounted to the side walls of the radiator side plate at a lower pair of spaced mounting mechanisms 160. The second heat exchanger has upper and lower mounting brackets 100,102 to accommodate the mounting to the side plate. Upon removal of the upper pair of spaced mounting mechanisms, the second heat exchanger may be pivoted on joints (162-168) at the lower mounting mechanisms for cleaning and the like. The structure of the lower mounting brackets and the lower mounting mechanisms allows removal of the second exchanger without removal of additional structure.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
Description PIVOTAL AND REMOVABLE COOLING SYSTEM
Technical Field This invention relates generally to a pivotal cooling system for construction machines and more particularly to the ability to pivot and remove the cooling system simultaneously through the use of a single mounting device.
Background Art Various types of construction machines may incorporate pivotal guards or cooling systems which facilitate access to heat exchangers, as well as access to the engine and associated components for service, maintenance and the like.
One such design is disclosed in U.S. Pat.
3,834,478 issued to George F. Alexander et al. on Sept. 10,1974. This design includes a pivotal guard and heat exchanger assembly which is pivotally connected to a machine main frame so that the guard and the heat exchanger may be swung as a unit away from a power unit to provide service access thereto.
A plurality of pins and pin connections must be removed in order to allow for this pivotal movement.
Furthermore, the heat exchangers are removed from the machine by removal of a plurality of additional brackets. It is important with present machines to utilize fewer parts with less complicated assembly and disassembly procedures to reduce cost and service time.
A design disclosed in U.S. Pat. 4,696,361 issued to Brian C. Clark et al. on Sept. 29,1987 utilizes a swing-up radiator and oil cooler assembly with a pair of radiators supported for independent pivotal movement between raised and lowered positions.
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
The lowermost radiator serves as the hydraulic oil cooler and is supported in a frame pivotal about a generally longitudinal axis. The uppermost radiator serves as the engine cooler and is mounted in another shelf pivotal about a second longitudinal axis. A latch assembly is provided for releasably securing the entire assembly in a lowered position and at least the upper radiator in a raised position. This design incorporates complicated structure for facilitating the pivotal movement with a series of extensions and pivots.
The present invention is directed to overcoming the problems as set forth above.
Disclosure of Invention In one aspect of the present invention, a pivotal heat exchanger assembly is disclosed for a machine having a frame with a heat generating power unit supported thereon. The heat exchanger assembly comprises a mounting structure connected to the frame with front and side walls. A first heat exchanger is removably mounted to the mounting structure at the front wall and is operatively associated with the power unit for dissipating heat therefrom. A second heat exchanger is adjacent the first heat exchanger and operatively associated with the power unit for dissipating heat therefrom. The second heat exchanger is removably mounted to each of the side walls of the mounting structure by upper and lower mounting mechanisms. Removal of the upper mounting mechanism allows the second heat exchanger to pivot forwardly and downwardly away from the first heat exchanger by utilization of the lower mounting mechanism while providing simultaneous capability of removal of the second heat exchanger.
<Desc/Clms Page number 3>
In another aspect of the present invention, a method of assembling a pivotal heat exchanger assembly is disclosed for use on a machine having a main frame. The method comprises the steps of removably mounting a first heat exchanger at a front wall of a radiator side plate which is connected to the main frame of the machine. Then, securing a pair of lower mounting mechanisms at an opposed lower position on side walls of the radiator side plate with each utilizing a spacer positioned in a predetermined manner to establish a clearance mounting space thereon. Finally, removably mounting a second heat exchanger to the radiator side plate by mounting a lower portion of the second heat exchanger on each of the spacers within the clearance mounting space and pivoting the second heat exchanger rearwardly and upwardly for securing an upper portion of the second heat exchanger at an opposed upper position on the side walls of the radiator side plate through a pair of upper mounting mechanisms.
The present invention includes the ability to pivot and, subsequently, remove the second heat exchanger, if desired, through the utilization of the lower mounting mechanism. The ability to use the lower mounting mechanism as both a mounting device and a pivot reduces the number of parts and complex assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the ability to remove the second heat exchanger without further removal of additional fastening devices decreases service time and cost.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, a specific embodiment thereof has been shown by way of example in the drawings and will herein be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intent to limit the invention to the particular form disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
Referring to the drawings, a pivotal heat exchanger assembly 10, embodying the principles of the present invention, is mounted on a construction machine 14, such as a backhoe loader. The machine 14 has a main frame 22 with an engine 26 supported at a front portion 30 thereof which generates heat during operation that is dissipated through a cooling system 34 in a well known manner. The cooling system 34 includes a radiator 38 mounted to the main frame 22 in any suitable manner, such as through a radiator side member 44, at a forward position from the engine 26 as
<Desc/Clms Page number 5>
referenced by a front portion 40 of the machine 14.
The radiator side member 44 has a front wall 46 and a pair of side walls 50,54. A pair of mounting holes 58,62 are defined in each of the side walls 50,54 at a respective upper and lower position 74,78.
An oil cooler 90 is positioned adjacent the radiator 38 at a forward position therefrom and has front and rear walls 94,98. The oil cooler 90 includes an upper pair of spaced mounting brackets, one of which is shown at 100, and a lower pair of spaced mounting brackets, one of which is shown at 102, which extend from the rear wall 98. Each one of the upper and lower pair of mounting brackets 100,102 is secured in any suitable manner, such as being riveted, at opposed sides 106,110 of the oil cooler 90 at a respective upper and lower portion 118,122 thereof. The respective upper and lower pair of mounting brackets 100,102 are formed to define an upper and lower width greater than the width of the radiator side member 44 to accommodate mounting thereto. The lower pair of mounting brackets 102 each have a semi-arcuate notched end portion 126 which defines a mounting portion 130 with a pair of extending projections 134,138. Each one of the lower pair of mounting brackets 102 are bent so that centerlines 142 of the notched end portions 126 are substantially parallel with a laterally extending central axis 146 of the oil cooler 90. Each one of the upper pair of mounting brackets 100 has an opening therethrough, one of which is shown at 150, operatively associated with one of the respective mounting holes 58 at the upper position 74 for connection with the radiator side member 44 through a respective pair of upper mounting mechanisms 154, such as bolts. It should be understood that any suitable
<Desc/Clms Page number 6>
type of upper mounting mechanism may be utilized and still fall within the scope of the present invention.
The bolts 154 each have elongated threaded body portions (not shown) which extend through the openings 150 in the upper pair of mounting brackets 100 and into the mounting holes 58 for securing the oil cooler 90 to the radiator side member 44. Each one of the mounting portions 130 of the lower pair of mounting brackets 102 are operatively associated with one of the respective mounting holes 62 at the lower position 78 for pivotal connection with the radiator side member 44 through a respective pair of lower mounting mechanisms 160. The lower pair of mounting mechanisms 160 each include a bolt 162, a washer 164 and a spacer 166. It should also be understood that any suitable type of lower mounting mechanism may be utilized and still fall within the scope of the present invention.
The bolts 162 each have elongated threaded body portions (not shown) which extend through the notched end portions 126 and into the mounting holes 62 for connection with a threaded nut 170. The spacer 166 is disposed on each of the elongated threaded body portions (not shown) of the bolts 162 and is positioned between the washer 164 and the radiator side member 44 for maintaining a clearance space 174 therebetween and for defining a pivot joint 180. The mounting portions 130 of the lower pair of mounting brackets 102 are seated on the spacers 166 so that the pair of projections 134,138 straddle and partially surround the spacer 166 at least half way therearound.
Industrial Applicability The pivotal heat exchanger assembly 10 is assembled for operation by removably mounting the radiator 38 at the front portion 30 of the main frame
<Desc/Clms Page number 7>
22. The washer 164 and spacer 166 are disposed on the elongated body portions (not shown) of the bolts 162 and then secured at the opposed side walls 50,54 of the radiator side member 44 at the lower position 78 to establish the clearance space 174 determined by the length of the spacer 166. The oil cooler 90 is lowered at an angle with the radiator 38 so that the mounting portions 130 of the lower pair of mounting brackets 102 may be seated on the respective spacer 166 within the clearance space 174. The oil cooler 90 is pivoted rearwardly and upwardly at the pivot joint 180 to secure the upper pair of mounting brackets 100 to the radiator side member 44 through the bolts 154.
During cleaning or service, the bolts 154 are removed and the oil cooler 90 may be pivoted forwardly and downwardly away from the radiator 38 at the pivot joint 180 between a range of motion allowed by the surrounding structure. At any one position within the range of motion, the oil cooler 90 may be easily removed by lifting it at an angle away from the radiator 38 so that the mounting portions 130 are no longer seated on the spacers 166.
The ability to utilize the lower pair of mounting mechanisms 160 as a mount and a pivot joint 180 lowers the parts and complexity required for pivoting the oil cooler 90 for cleaning and the like.
Furthermore, the design of the lower pair of mounting brackets 102 and their operation with the lower pair of mounting mechanisms 160 enables that the removal of the oil cooler 90 can be accomplished in conjunction with the pivoting function without removal of additional parts.
Other aspects, objects and advantages of this invention can be obtained from a study of the drawings, disclosure and the appended claims.
