. 3,187,448 BULLDOZER BLADE THL'IING ARRANGEMENT Kenneth J. Kolinger, Riverside, Ill, assignor to International Harvester Company, Chicago, Ill., a corporation of New-Jersey Filed June 24, 1963, Sen'No. 289,849 9 Claims. (Cl. 37-144) g This invention relates generally to bulldozers and more particularly to means for bracing the blades of tiltable bulldozers to prevent fatigue damage resulting in part from stresses which are set up when a bladeis adjusted to its tilt position, and in part from stresses which are imparted by the application of a side load to the blade.
When the blade of a conventional bulldozer is tilted, the diagonal braces. are subjected to compressive loads, which in turn are reacted upon by the push arms and impart thereto bending stresses. When a conventional bulldozer is tilted and subjected to a side load'the bending stresses inthe pusharm often are of sutlicient magnitude to resultin fatigue failure.
It is an object of the present. invention to provide a mounting for the diagonal braces of a tiltable-type bulldozer blade through which the forces above referred to are materially reduced and through which many of the stresses to which the bulldozer structures are subjected are almost completely eliminated.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a mounting for the diagonal braces of a tiltabletype bulldozer blade whichwill result in distribution of side loads equally between the two pus/harms.
Further and more specific objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent by referenceto the following specification and the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIGUREl is a schematic view of a tractor with a bulldozer blade embodying the present invention;
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view taken on line-2-2 of FIGURE 1; p i
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary plan view shovw'ng the attachment of the diagonal braces to the blade;
FIGURE 4 is a diagrammatic View showing the details of the tongue and groove arrangement;
FIGURE 5 is a view, similar to FIGURE 1, showing a modification of the invention;
FIGURE 6 is a fragmentary-plan view, similar to FIG- URE 3, showing a modified form of attachment of the diagonal braces to the blade;
FIGURE 7 is a sectional view taken on line 7-7 of FIGURE 6; and
FIGURE 8 is a diagrammatic view showing the details of the modified arrangement. 7
Referring now to FIGURE 1 of the drawings, a tractor, generally indicated at lid, is shown as provided with a bulldozer blade M carried at the forward end of a pair of push arms 12. At their rearward ends the push arms 12 are connected in a conventional manner to the track frames of the tractor as by bail and socket type joints shown as at 13. The bulldozer blade is pivotally connected to the forward ends of the push arms by ball and socket type joints or, as shown, by hinged connections 15 and held in the erect position by braces known as tilt braces and shown at 16 and 17. Either or both of the tilt braces 16 and 17 includes adjustable means which may be either mechanical or inthe form of a conventional extensible hydraulic cylinder as at'16'. The tilt braces are connected by pivot pins and brackets 19 to the tops of the push arms 12 and byball and socket joints 29 to the back of the blade adjacent its upper edge. A' pair of diagonal braces 22 and 23 extend between the 'inner sidesof the push arms to which they are pivotally connected with brackets shown at 24, and these diagonal braces are connected at their other ends to a pair of links 26 and 28 United States Patent 0 by means of ball and socket joints 30. Conventional lift extension of a hydraulic cylinder to which fluid would blade nearer to the longer of the two tilt braces will be compressed as described above.
be supplied in a conventional manner. Similarly, the blade could be tilted by' shortening one of the tilt braces while at the same time elongating the other. Regardless of the means employed to tilt'the blade, the side of the elevated while the side nearer to the short tilt brace will be lowered. When the blade of a conventional bulldozer is tilted both diagonal braces 22 and 23 are placed in compression which imposes a bending stress on each of the push arms 12. When a side load is imposed on the blade, one diagonal strut is loaded in compression while the other one is loaded in tension. When both tilt and side loads are imposed on the bulldozer, one diagonal strut will have a high magnitude of load due to the addition of forces, the other diagonal strut will have a much lower load due to the subtraction of forces. Essentially the force on one push arm will be much greater than the other, therefore the magnitude of bending stress will be much higher on one push arm than the other.
Through the present invention the loads are distributed equally between the two push arms thereby reducing the bending stress on the push arms. This is accomplished, as best shown in FIGURES 2, 3; and 4 by connecting the inner ends of the diagonal braces 22 and 23 to'links 26 and 28 respectively through the ball and socket joints 3%.
The links 26 and 28 are pivotally pinned at 34 to the back of blade 14. Link 28 is provided with an arcuate tongue 33 which tongue engages a groove 49 in link 26. Links 26 and 28 extend substantially parallel to the back of blade M and are positioned between a pair of plates 42 secured to the back of blade 14. The plates 42 limit the movement of the links and especially the movement of the tongue and groove arrangement 38 and 4-9 in a substantially vertical plane, while permitting movement of the tongue and groove in a substantially horizontal or longitudinal plane. 'A clearance 44- is provided between the ends of links 26 and 28 on their mating surfaces, sothat only the tongue 38 and groove 40 are in contact. This permits the tongue and groove arrangement to move forwardly or backwardly to the blade 14 as the links pivot about the pins 34.
With the construction described upon tilting of the blade by the lengthening of one of the tilt braces 16 or 17 relative to the other, both diagonal braces tend to'be However, due to the ability of links 26 and 2 to pivot about pins 34, the diagonal braces are relieved of the compressive load, and I the application of forces-which tend to bend the 'push arms outwardly is eliminated. When a side thrust is imparted tothe blade, whether or not the blade is tilted, the tensile stress on the one brace and the compressive stress in the opposite brace are equalized due to the action of the links 2 -5 and 28. That is, the brace under compres sion attempts to pivot the link to which it is connected towardv the blade 14 while the brace under tension is attempting to pivot the link to which it is connected away from the blade 14. Because the links are in contact with each other through the tongue 3? and groove 40, the load of each diagonal brace is transmitted to the other, therefore keeping the system in equilibrium and thereby 13 distributing the side thrust loads equally between the two diagonal braces. It follows that the loads would be distributed equally between the two push arms and the stresses-imposed would be of equal magnitudes.
Referring now to FIGURES through 8, there is shown a modification of the present invention. A pair of push arms 12 are pivotally mounted by means of ball and socket joints 13 to tractor and are connected at their other ends to the blade 14 by means of ball and socket joints or, as shown, hinge connections 15. A pair of lift jacks'32 are also connected between the tractor 10 and the blade 14. A pair of tilt braces 16 and 17, similar to the type described in connection with the embodiment shown in FIGURES 1 through 4, are connected between the top of each push arm and the upper edge of the blade 14. A pair of diagonal braces 22 and 23 are connected to the inner edges of the push arms by means of pivotal connections 24 and are respectively connected to a pair of links 26 and 28 by means of ball and socket joints 30. Links 26 and 28 are pinned to the back of blade 14 by means of pivotal pin 34. Each link i provided with a substantially semi-circular recess or groove 46. A pin 48 is disposed between the two links 26 and 23 and is engaged by recesses 46. A pair of plates 42 secured to the back of blade 14 operate in the same manner as described above to substantially limit the travel or movement of the pin 48 and recessed links 26 and 28 in a vertical plane while permitting movement in a substantially horizontal plane. The pin and recess arrangement between the two links 26 and 28 functions in the same manner as the tongue and groove arrangement shown in the embodiment of FIGURE 1 to permit the links 26 and 28 to pivot about points 34 to relieve the stresses on the push arms caused by tilting the blade. Similarly, the side thrust loads are distributed equally between the two diagonal braces in the same manner as with the tongue and groove arrangement.
