Abstract
carrier assembly for an operating unit of an agricultural machine includes a carrier arm, a suspension system for suspending an operating unit from the carrier arm and a mounting structure for mounting the carrier arm on a carrier vehicle. A pivot mechanism enables pivoting movement of the carrier arm relative to the mounting structure, and a first actuator drives pivoting movement of the carrier arm between a working position and a transport position. The carrier assembly includes a releasable locking mechanism for locking the carrier arm in the transport position. The locking mechanism includes a first locking element carried by the mounting structure and a second locking element carried by the carrier arm, which is engageable with the first locking element when the carrier arm is inthe transport position.
Claims (10)
1. A carrier assembly for an operating unit of an agricultural machine, the carrier assembly including a carrier arm, a suspension system for suspending an operating unit from the carrier arm, a mounting structure for mounting the carrier arm on a carrier vehicle, a pivot mechanism that enables pivoting movement of the carrier arm relative to the mounting structure, and a first actuator that drives pivoting movement of the carrier arm between a working position and a transport position, wherein the carrier arm includes an inner part and an outer part that can be telescopically extended and retracted relative to the inner part, and a second actuator that drives the outer part to adjust the length of the carrier arm, wherein the first actuator is connected between a first mount that is attached to the mounting structure and a second mount that is attached to the inner part of the arm, and the second actuator is connected between the second mount and a third mount that is attached to the outer part of the arm;wherein the working position of the carrier arm is adjustable; and,wherein the working position of the carrier arm is adjustable by adjusting the first actuator; and,wherein the first actuator is steplessly or pseudo-steplessly adjustable.
2. A carrier assembly according to claim 1, wherein the pivot mechanism has a pivot axis that extends substantially parallel to the working direction of the agricultural machine.
3. A carrier assembly according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the suspension system includes a mounting structure for the operating unit and two pairs of connecting rods, comprising an upper pair of connecting rods and a lower pair of connecting rods, each said connecting rod being attached via joints to the mounting structure and the carrier arm, wherein a first pair of said upper and lower pairs of connecting rods diverge in a working direction of the operating unit and a second pair of said upper and lower pairs of connecting rods converge in a working direction of the operating unit.
4. A carrier assembly according to claim 3, wherein the support mechanism includes an actuator for adjusting the height of the operating unit relative to the carrier arm.
5. A carrier assembly according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the carrier assembly further includes a releasable locking mechanism for locking the carrier arm in the transport position, the locking mechanism including a first locking element carried by the mounting structure and a second locking element carried by the carrier arm, which is engageable with the first locking element when the carrier arm is in the transport position.
6. A carrier assembly according to claim 5, wherein the second locking element is not engageable with the first locking element when the carrier arm is not in the transport position.
7. A carrier assembly according to claim 5 or claim 6, wherein the second locking element is carried by the outer part of the carrier arm and is configured to engage the first locking element when the outer part of the carrier arm is fully retracted relative to the inner part and to disengage the first locking element when the outer part of the carrier arm is extended telescopically relative to the inner part.
8. A carrier assembly according to claim 7, wherein the first locking element comprises a hook element and the second locking element comprises a pin that engages the hook element.
9. An agricultural machine including a carrier assembly according to any one of the preceding claims, a carrier vehicle and an operating unit, wherein the carrier assembly is mounted on the carrier vehicle and carries the operating unit.
10. An agricultural machine according to claim 9, wherein the machine is a mowing machine and the operating unit is a cutter unit.
