Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lock assembly for an excavator wear member.
  • the invention relates to a lock assembly for releasably securing an excavator tooth to a nose of an excavator.
  • Excavator tooth assemblies mounted to the digging edge of excavator buckets and the like generally comprise a replaceable digging tooth, an adaptor body and an adaptor nose which is secured by welding or the like to the digging edge of a bucket or the like.
  • the tooth generally has a socket-like recess at its rear end to receivably locate a front spigot portion of the adaptor nose and a removable locking pin is generally employed to releasably secure the tooth on the adaptor.
  • excavator teeth are subjected to extensive load forces along a longitudinal axis of a tooth as well as in vertical and transverse directions.
  • a snug fit is required between the digging point and the front portion of the adaptor and also between the adaptor socket and the nose spigot portion and their respective mounting pins to avoid premature wear between the components.
  • the locking pins can loosen thereby increasing the risk of loss of a digging point or an entire adaptor/tooth combination. This necessitates considerable downtime to replace the lost wear members and where items such as locking pins are not recovered, these can cause damage and/or further downtime in downstream operations such as ore crushing and the like.
  • United States Patent No 4,231 ,173 describes a tapered adaptor nose having a box-like free end, which engages in a mating box-like socket cavity to resist rotational moments. Opposed pairs of rearwardly extending tongues engage in corresponding recesses in the outer surfaces of the adaptor nose to resist rotational movements. Because the tongues themselves are unsupported, they possess a limited capacity to resist rotational moment forces.
  • United States Patent No 5,272,824 describes a structure similar to that of United States Patent No 4,231 ,173 except that the side tongues are of more robust dimensions and the upper and lower tongues are formed as box-like members with apertures to receive a vertical mounting pin passing through aligned apertures in the tooth and adaptor nose.
  • United States Patent No 4,404,760 provides flat rail surfaces on the adaptor nose to engage with mating grooves in the socket aperture of a corresponding tooth wherein the mating rail and groove surfaces are generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tooth.
  • United States Patent No 5,423,138 describes a generally tapered nose having a box-like front end with upper and lower transverse surfaces generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of a tooth which located directly thereon.
  • the parallel upper and lower transverse surfaces are contiguous with upper and lower rail surfaces on each side of the nose and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tooth.
  • a pair of rearwardly extending side tongues locate in recesses formed in the outer side faces of the nose, ostensibly to resist rotational moment forces in the tooth. Because the side tongues are recessed to accommodate the side rail portions, the robustness of the side tongues is somewhat compromised.
  • United States Patent No 4,233,761 describes a fairly stubby tapered nose having a box-like front portion with upper and lower surfaces generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of an excavator tooth, an intermediate rearwardly diverging tapered portion and a rear portion having upper and lower surfaces extending generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tooth.
  • Formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the front, intermediate and rear portions of the nose are spaced parallel reinforcing ribs which are located in mating grooves in the excavator tooth.
  • a large vertical locking pin extends through aligned apertures in the tooth and nose between the reinforcing ribs.
  • United States Patent No 6,018,896 describes a pin/retainer system for locking an excavation tooth onto an adaptor wherein the retainer is inserted in the adaptor and a wedge-shaped pin is driven into aligned apertures in the tooth and adaptor to resiliency engage with the retainer.
  • United States Publication No US 2002/0000053A1 describes a mechanism for releasably retaining an adaptor into the nose of a bucket lip or the like wherein a tapered threaded socket is non-rotatably located on the inside of an aperture in the side wall of the adaptor.
  • a threaded retaining pin extends through the threaded socket and locates in an aligned aperture in the bucket nose.
  • United States Patent No 5,937,550 describes a lock assembly for releasably securing an adaptor to a nose of an excavator support structure.
  • the lock assembly comprises a body and a base coupled together and adapted for insertion, while coupled together, in a hole in the nose of the support structure.
  • the length of the lock assembly is extended to secure the adaptor and is retracted to release the adaptor. While adequate for securing an adaptor to a nose of an excavator support structure, the lock described in this patent is relatively complex in design and operation leading to high costs and labour intensive extraction procedures in the field.
  • Canadian Patent Application No 2,161 ,505 describes a system for removably retaining an excavation point on an adaptor with at least one flanged sleeve having a screw-threaded aperture therein, the flanged sleeve being non-rotatably beatable in a transverse bore in the adaptor before fitment of the point onto the adaptor.
  • a screw-threaded pin is inserted into the sleeve via an aperture in the point whereby portion of the head of the pin retains the point on the adaptor.
  • Australian Patent Application No 2003264586 describes a locking pin assembly comprising a body member having a non-circular cross- sectional shape locatable in a bore of complementary shape extending laterally between opposite sides of an excavator lip mounting nose.
  • an adaptor can be engaged over the nose with apertures in opposite side walls aligned with the body member.
  • Threaded bolts engage in threaded apertures in opposite ends of the body member, the bolts each having a tapered shank portion with an enlarged boss at a free end thereof, the boss being beatable in a respective aperture in a side wall of said adaptor to prevent the adaptor from disengaging with the nose.
  • the invention resides in a lock assembly for releasably securing an excavator tooth on a nose of an excavator, the lock assembly comprising: a rigid lock member having a base portion and a retaining portion extending from said base portion, the base portion adapted to be located in a retaining cavity of the nose and the retaining portion adapted to at least partially extend into a retaining aperture of the wear member a resiliently deformable lock member, in use, adapted to be located within the retaining cavity of the nose to abut an upper face of the rigid lock member to thereby captively retain the base portion of the rigid lock member in the retaining cavity and the retaining portion at least partially within the retaining aperture such that side walls of the retaining portion of the rigid lock member bear against complimentary side walls of the retaining aperture of the wear member and opposed bearing faces of the base portion of the rigid lock member oppose and engage respective side walls of the retaining cavity of the nose of the excavator to
  • the retaining portion of the rigid lock member has outwardly convergent side wall portions adapted to oppose and engage complimentary inwardly divergent side walls of the retaining aperture of the wear member.
  • the resiliently deformable lock member is adapted to be deformed in order to allow passage through the retaining aperture into the retaining cavity.
