CONSTRUCTION MACHINE CONTROL SYSTEM, CONSTRUCTION MACHINE, AND CONSTRUCTION MACHINE CONTROL METHOD

A construction machine control system includes: a target construction ground shape generation unit which generates a target construction ground shape indicating a target shape of an excavation target; a working device control instruction determination unit which outputs an instruction for driving the working device in a working device operation plane orthogonal to at least one of a boom axis, an arm axis, and a bucket axis based on an operation state of at least one of an arm and a bucket and a distance between the bucket and the target construction ground shape; and a tilting control instruction determination unit which outputs an instruction for performing a tilting control of the bucket about a tilting axis based on a tilting state of the bucket and the distance between the bucket and the target construction ground shape.

COUPLER WITH CONTACTLESS ATTACHMENT ENGAGEMENT DETECTION
20170335540 · 2017-11-23 ·

A coupler for coupling an attachment to an excavator. The coupler has first and second spaced-apart coupling formations for coupling with respective corresponding coupling formation of the attachment. The coupler also has a power actuated locking member for retaining the respective attachment coupling formation in engagement with the first coupling formation. A detection system is capable of detecting if the respective attachment coupling formation is in a desired position with respect to the first coupling formation, wherein the detecting means comprises at least one non-contact sensor, preferably an ultrasonic sensor.

Tool Attachment

A tool attachment 10 comprising a plurality of pick-up pins 32, 34 or excavator bucket pins, each for threading through a pair of spaced apart holes 26 in a mounting part 22 of the tool, a bush 40 for each hole 26, fasteners 44 for fastening each bush to a surround of the respective hole and retainers 46 for each end of each pick-up pin 32, 34, wherein each of the bushes 40 has an eccentric hole 58 there through for receiving a portion of one of the pick-up pins 32, 34 so that the spacing between the pick-up pins 32, 34 can be selected according to the axial orientation of the bushes 40 in relation to the surround 22.

BOLT CONNECTION AND SWIVEL LEVER WITH BOLT CONNECTION FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE
20170328027 · 2017-11-16 · ·

The invention relates to a bolt connection with a bearing bolt, in particular for a construction machine, in particular for underground engineering and for a swivel lever, in particular for a construction machine, which connects a first component and a second component pivotably to each other, wherein the bearing bolt extends through at least one first bearing eye on the first component and at least one second bearing eye on the second component, and wherein the bearing bolt can be driven, for releasing the connection, on an exit side out of the first bearing eye and the second bearing eye. At the exit side a protective reception is arranged, which is designed to receive and hold the driven-out bearing bolt.

SELF-LOCKING ATTACHMENT COUPLER
20170328026 · 2017-11-16 · ·

The coupler is mounted on the end of the boom of a boom-tractor, and provides secure locking-in of a bucket. The coupler having been set to its latched-open condition, the tractor is driven to the bucket so that a bottom-lug of the bucket enters the coupler, whereupon the bucket is picked up and is automatically securely locked into coupler, without any manipulation of the coupler being required of the tractor-driver other than manipulation of the boom. For setting the bucket down on the ground, after use, the driver manually pulls out a slider of the coupler. That action sets the coupler into its slider-held condition, whereby when the tractor is driven away from the bucket, the coupler is automatically left set in the said latched-open condition.

Safety device for quick coupler

The present invention relates to a safety device for a quick coupler and, more particularly, to a safety device for a quick coupler, the safety device having an improved structure that is configured to improve the structure of a locking device, the locking device preventing the fixing hook from being arbitrarily released from a locking engagement, by using a safety plate that is laterally moved in a sliding manner by an elastic force of a DIE spring after a fixing hook and a first attachment pin are assembled together.

Method, apparatus, and kit for providing an adapter on earth moving equipment
09809945 · 2017-11-07 ·

A frame has a crosspiece with a pair of longitudinal branches, and is used for installing an adapter on earth moving equipment. This equipment has an implement support structure with one or more bearing plates for accommodating azimuthal rotation of a working implement. This working implement is removed from the implement support structure before attaching a frame there. The frame's crosspiece has walls that engage the bearing plates on the implement support structure. An adapter is rotatably mounted on the frame. Any one of a plurality of working accessories can be selected and installed on the adapter. For equipment that originally lacked bearing plates, a cross member with bearing plates is provided in a kit. The frame will then attach to the kit's cross member and to the implement support structure.

DEVICE TO COUPLE MEMBERS OF A HEAVY-DUTY MACHINE
20220056662 · 2022-02-24 ·

A coupler system to facilitate carrying or operating a working tool is provided. For example, a boom frame is rotated about a master pin location to mate with a stick frame at a picker end and coupled to the stick frame with a latching or locking mechanism. The boom frame is further rotated about the master pin location to mate with the stick frame at a grabber end opposite the picker end coupled to the stick frame with an additional latching or locking mechanism. Static stresses are then pre-loaded onto a pulling mechanism which secures the boom frame to the stick frame to prevent failure and dynamic stresses are dispersed onto a compression mechanism to mitigate fatigue. Hydraulic fluid is passed between the boom frame and the stick frame to maintain cleanliness in a hydraulic valve environment while coupling the stick frame to the boom frame.

Front loader
