Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a linkage unit for drive members of self-propelled vehicles in general, a typical but non-exclusive application of which is to lift trucks for handling goods and products.
- To avoid later repetition, it should be noted that in the present context, the expression "drive members of said self-propelled vehicles in general" signifies those members placed under the control of the driver of the means to enable him to manoeuvre it. More specifically, said members can consist of actuators controllable either by a hand (usually known as levers) or by a foot (usually known as pedals).
- For simplicity only the latter are referred to hereinafter.
- With particular reference to said lift trucks, for their manoeuvring these are generally provided with a steering wheel, a forward travel pedal, a reversing pedal and a brake pedal.
- Hereinafter for questions of clarity and simplicity specific reference will be made only to the first two pedals.
- The levers of said forward travel and reversing pedals are prolonged below the tuck floor where they are linked together by a linkage unit with which transducer means, generally in the form of potentiometers, are associated.
- Said transducer means are sensitive to the movements of said levers, such that on operating a pedal, for example the forward travel pedal, they feed a corresponding signal (for example of forward travel), generally amplified, to the system controlling the truck transmission unit.
- Linkage units are known comprising two adjacent plates positioned below the truck floor and hinged to said floor on respective horizontal axes transverse to the longitudinal axis of the truck.
- The levers of the forward travel pedal and reversing pedal are fixed to the sides of said plates, to the facing regions of these plates there being provided the movement reversing elements, which are coupled by a unilateral engagement.
- Said elements generally consist of two profiled appendices positioned in mutual contact, to slide against each other during the rotations of the linkage members.
- The constant mutual contact between said appendices is achieved by an automatic repositioning device, generally comprising an elastically yieldable system which constantly presses against the linkage member to return it to its rest position when the forward travel and reversing pedals are released.
- Said rest position of the linkage members corresponds to the neutral central position of the forward travel and reversing pedals, in which they lie at a predetermined distance from the floor of the truck driving seat.
- Starting from said neutral central position, when the truck driver operates a pedal, for example the forward travel pedal, said forward travel pedal is lowered while at the same time the reversing pedal rises by the same amount by the effect of the linkage unit.
- Vice versa the forward travel pedal rises when the reversing pedal is pushed, the two returning to their neutral central position when the lastly pressed pedal is released.
- Said phase opposition movement of the two forward travel and reversing pedals is provided for safety reasons, as is well known to the expert of the art.
- The widespread use of such linkage units has demonstrated that they are unsatisfactory at least for the following reasons.
- Firstly they are unsuitable for installation on floors of a different type, so that the installer is sometimes compelled to devise individual mounting arrangements.
- In addition the two linkage members are generally heat treated, usually by quenching and tempering, with a consequent high cost increase. In addition the forward travel and reversing pedals are usually welded to the two hardened linkage members, which in addition to affecting the cost makes any service interventions, such as pedal replacement, complex.
- Moreover in known linkage units the movable parts are inconveniently exposed to external agents so that extraneous materials such as dust, rubble or wash liquids can infiltrate between them, causing malfunction.
- The main object of the present invention is to provide an improved linkage unit able to eliminate the aforesaid problem.
- Another object of the invention is to attain said result within the context of a simple, rational, reliable, compact and economical construction which is flexible in terms of the unit installation.
- Said objects are attained by a linkage unit presenting the characteristics indicated in the claims.
- The characteristics and constructional merits of the invention will be apparent from the ensuing detailed description given with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a particular preferred embodiment thereof by way of non-limiting example.
- Figure 1 is a side perspective view of the invention, with one of the covers of the casing omitted to better shown the parts behind it.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view seen from the opposite direction to Figure 1.
- Figure 3 is the section III-III of Figure 1 on an enlarged scale.
- Figure 4 is the section IV-IV of Figure 3.
- Figure 5 is the section V-V of Figure 4 on an enlarged scale.
- Said figures, and in particular Figures 1 and 2, show a containing casing indicated overall by the
reference numeral 1, which is generally of rectangular-based parallelepiped form and presents small dimensions. -
Said casing 1 comprises a composite structure shaped as a rectangular frame the major sides of which are defined by the two walls indicated by 10, and the minor sides of which are defined by the two walls indicated by 100 and 101 respectively. - Said two pairs of
opposing walls 10 and 100-101 are suitably joined together, for example by threaded members as indicated schematically by 99. - The longitudinal edges of the
walls 10 are turned outwards, and are each provided with a series of throughholes 110 for fixing twoopposing covers 120. - The described
casing 1 forms a containing and protection guard for the constituent elements of the linkage unit of the invention, saidcasing 1 also providing the means for installing the unit below the floor of a self-propelled vehicle such as a lift truck. - Said installation means are in the form either of the through
holes 130 provided in thewall 101 or of the throughholes 110 provided in the turned edges situated on one or the other side of thewalls 10, the choice of which to use depending generally on the dimensions and/or the shape of the space available below the floor. - In the first case the longitudinal axis of the
parallelepiped casing 1 is generally perpendicular to the floor, and in the second case, after possibly removing therespective cover 120, said axis is generally parallel to the floor. - In both cases, the two
connection shafts - Instead of said holes, threaded pins rigid with the
walls shafts shafts bearings 2 carried by twosupports 3 fixed to saidwalls 10. - As shown in Figure 4, one end of each
shaft respective support 3 where it presents astem 133 to which the connection end of the lever of the forward travel or reversing pedal of the lift truck is removably connected. - In the illustrated example, said
stem 133 is of generally cylindrical shape (Figures 3 to 5) on which three flats are provided for securing said lever, not shown for simplicity, which is provided with an end screw clamp. - Prismatic quick connection means different from that described can be provided.
- For example the
stem 133 can be square or hexagonal, the connection end of the lever correspondingly having a mating recess with relative locking screw. - Alternatively the head of said
shank 133 can be provided with a square or hexagonal recessed seat, said lever being correspondingly provided with a projecting mating pin. - On the opposite end of the
shaft gear wheel 4 housed in acompartment 5 of thesupport 3, saidcompartment 5 being closed by a cover 6 (see Figure 4). - The
same compartment 5 houses a usual transducer (not shown), for example in the form of a potentiometer, which is linked to saidgear wheel 4 in such a manner as to sense its movements and feed to the truck transmission system corresponding forward travel or reversing command signals (usually suitably amplified). - On the central portion of each
shaft transfer member - With reference to Figure 3, said
members - Specifically, the inclined sides of said trapezoidal profiles face each other (see Figure 3), said
members lugs 66 there are received the opposing ends of a connectingrod 77 which is pivoted to saidmembers - The opposing ends of each pin are inserted, as a force fit, in coaxial through holes provided in said
lugs 66, the central portion of thepin 88 being pivoted to the connectingrod 77 by way of a bush or bearing 55, preferably of self-lubricating type. - With said
linkage members - Said repositioning device comprises two profiled
plates 44 resting against those sides of themembers shafts leaf springs 22 which constantly force saidplates 44 elastically against saidmembers - That face of the
plate 44 which contacts themember respective spring 22. At its ends, thespring 22 presents two angle bends, one of which engages arod 23 lying between the walls 10 (Figures 1 to 4), and the other is hooked through aslot 24 provided in thewall 100. - The described unit operates as follows.
- When the forward travel and reversing pedals of the truck are free, the linkage unit is in its rest position shown in all the accompanying figures, in which the connecting
rod 77 is perpendicular to the plane defined by the axes of theshafts 334a and 33b, and theplates 44 rest against the flat sides of thelinkage members respective member rod 77, causes theother member plates 44 against the elastic resistance offered by thesprings 22. - Essentially, while said one pedal is being pushed towards its lowered command position, the other pedal is automatically forced towards its raised safety position.
- When the previously operated pedal is released, the entire unit becomes repositioned as in Figure 3 by the effect of the
springs 22. As shown in all the accompanying figures, within the casing there is also advantageously provided a profiledcompartment 900 for housing the connection part of a usual brake pedal and its accessories such as an elastic repositioning system, for example a return spring, and a transducer such as a potentiometer, to feed corresponding braking signals to the brake unit of the self-propelled vehicle, in the described example a lift truck. - Said brake pedal is shown schematically only in Figure 4, in which it is indicated by the
reference numeral 999. In that figure it is pivoted to theshaft 33b but there is nothing to prevent its pivoting to theshaft 33a. - That stated for the said pedal actuators is also valid for actuators of manual lever type as stated in the introduction.
