【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、シリンダの取付構造、より詳しくは、シリンダチューブ及びピストンロッドよりなるシリンダの取付部に、貫通孔を有したジョイントボールを介して該シリンダを軸支し、該ピストンロッドと該シリンダチューブの間に長さを検知するセンサを配置した、シリンダの取付構造に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から、油圧シリンダや空圧シリンダ等のシリンダチューブ及びピストンロッドの取付部の構造は、伸縮時にシリンダの両端の取付部に無理な負荷がかからないように球形のジョイントボールを介装して、三次元的に回動できるようにしていた。例えば、農用トラクタのシリンダ取付部の場合、トラクタの後部に三点リンク式作業機装着装置を介して、作業機を装着していた。
【0003】
詳しくは、図6、図7に示すように、油圧ケース4の両側より後方にリフトアーム2を突出し、ロアリンク1とリフトアーム2の間に左右いずれか一方にリフトリンク、他方に油圧シリンダ3を介装し、ロアリンク1後端に装着した作業機が水平に、或いは任意の角度に傾倒できるように油圧シリンダ3を伸縮して制御していた。そして、この油圧シリンダ3はピストンロッド3aの先端にロアリンク1を枢結し、シリンダチューブ3bのヘッド側に球形のジョイントボール12を介して、リフトアーム2の枢支軸2aに枢結していた。
【0004】
前記ジョイントボール12は、ジョイントホルダ11が油圧シリンダ3のシリンダヘッド側のシリンダチューブ3bに溶接固定され、該ジョイントホルダ11の中心軸側にジョイントボール12が三次元的に回転自在に収納され、該ジョイントボール12の中央の軸孔にリフトアーム2の枢支軸2aが挿入され、該枢支軸2a端部に嵌装したピン14にて抜け止めされていた。そして、ピストンロッド3aとシリンダチューブ3bの間に長さを検知するセンサ7が配置されて伸縮量を検知していた。
【0005】
しかし、このような構成では、油圧シリンダ3のピストンロッド3aがロアリンク1にピンにより枢支されており、該ピストンロッドが、ピストンロッド3aの軸心回りに回動することはほとんどないが、シリンダチューブ3bはジョイントホルダ11及びジョイントボール12を介して枢支軸2aにより連結されているので、シリンダチューブ3bの軸心回りにわずかではあるが回動可能となっている。この場合、シリンダチューブ3bが軸心回りに回動すると、油圧シリンダ3が伸縮していないにもかかわらず、センサ7が伸長して油圧シリンダ3が伸びたことを検知することになる。
【0006】
このため、図示しないコントローラが、油圧シリンダ3が伸張したものと判断して、水平制御の場合であっても、油圧シリンダ3を縮小させるという誤動作を起こしてしまう。この種の誤動作は、頻繁に起こると振動となったりして、作業精度に悪影響を与えるばかりでなく、センサ7が捻じられて故障の原因ともなっていた。
【0007】
そこで、図6、図7に示すように、球形のジョイントボール12に穴をあけ、ジョイントホルダ11を介してピン15を打ち込む解決策が示されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。これにより、油圧シリンダ3のシリンダチューブ3bとピストンロッド3aの軸心周りの回転が規制できるようになった。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、従来のこのような方法では(ピン15をジョイントホルダ11に溶接などで固定し、ピン15とジョイントホルダ11がジョイントボール12に対して回動可能とした場合)、ピン15と前記ジョイントボール12の貫通孔の摩擦が大きいものとなっていた。また、ジョイントホルダ11に装着する前に該ジョイントボール12に加工を行う必要があった。このため、ジョイントボール12の加工が複雑となり、経済的ではなかった。また、ジョイントホルダ11に装着したあとに加工を施すことが不可能であり、センサ7を取付ける油圧シリンダ3と、センサ7を取付けない油圧シリンダ3に共通の部品を使用できず、コスト高となっていた。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の解決しようとする課題は以上の如くであり、次にこの課題を解決するための手段を説明する。
【0011】
請求項1においては、シリンダチューブ(3b)とピストンロッド(3a)よりなる油圧シリンダ(3)の基部の取付部を、ジョイントボール(12)を介して、リフトアーム(2)の枢支軸(2a)に軸支し、該ピストンロッド(3a)と該シリンダチューブ(3b)との間に、伸縮長さを検知するセンサ(7)を配置したシリンダ取付構造において、前記シリンダチューブ(3b)の端部にジョイントホルダ(11)を溶接固定し、該ジョイントホルダ(11)の中心側にジョイントボール(12)を三次元的に回転自在に収納し、該ジョイントボール(12)の中央の貫通孔(12a)に、前記枢支軸(2a)を挿入し、該ジョイントホルダ(11)の左右両側を挟み込むように、平面視『コ』の字型に成形したブラケット(16)を設け、該ブラケット(16)の挟み込むように曲げた両側に、ジョイントホルダ(11)の外側面に枢支する貫通孔(16a・16a)を設け、該貫通孔(16a・16a)にピン(17・17)を挿入し、該ブラケット(16)をジョイントホルダ(11)に対して回動自在に枢支し、該ブラケット(16)の中央部に、前 記枢支軸(2a)を挿入する貫通孔(16b)を設け、該貫通孔(16b)を枢支軸(2a)に挿通し、該ブラケット(16)の貫通孔(16b)と枢支軸(2a)との係合により、前記油圧シリンダ(3)の軸心を中心とし、軸心方向に垂直な方向への回転を規制すべく構成したものである。
【0012】
請求項2においては、請求項1記載のシリンダ取付構造において、前記ブラケット(16)に設けた枢支軸(2a)を挿入する貫通孔(16b)の径の大きさは、該ジョイントボール(12)の枢支軸(2a)の貫通孔(12a)の径よりも、大きく成形したものである。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、農用トラクタの後部に三点リンク式作業機装着装置を介して作業機を装着する場合について、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。本実施例では、シリンダを油圧シリンダ3とし、該油圧シリンダ3をトラクタ後部のリフトアーム2に連結した場合について説明する。
【0014】
図1はシリンダ取付部の後面図、図2は同じく一部断面平面図、図3は同じく平面図、図4はシリンダ取付部の別実施例をしめす一部断面平面図、図5は同じく側面図、図6リフトアームに油圧シリンダを連結した従来の連結構造を示す後面図、図7は同じくシリンダの軸心周りに回動した状態を示す側面図である。
【0015】
まず、図1乃至図3を参照しながら、シリンダ取付構造について説明する。油圧シリンダ3のシリンダチューブ3bにピストンを固定したピストンロッド3a(図7参照)を出退自在に収納し、該シリンダチューブ3bの基部側先端にジョイントボール12を収納したジョイントホルダ11を溶接固定している。該ジョイントホルダ11はリング状に構成され、該ジョイントホルダ11内に嵌入されているジョイントボール12は略球状に構成されている。
【0016】
そして、ジョイントボール12の中心にはジョイントボール貫通孔12aが開口され、リフトアーム2後端より側方へ突出した枢支軸となる枢支軸2aが挿入され、枢支されている。ジョイントボール12は枢支軸2aに貫通したピン14により抜け止めされている。この状態では、ジョイントボール12に対して、ジョイントホルダ11は3次元的に回動することが可能である。
【0017】
本発明では、ジョイントボール12に、リフトアーム2の枢支軸2aが貫通するためのジョイントボール貫通孔12aが直径方向に形成されており、ジョイントホルダ11に装着されるブラケット16に枢支軸2aを貫通し、その内面に、ジョイントボール貫通孔12aの一端が接触して配置される。このため、油圧シリンダ3の軸心方向に垂直な方向(以下、油圧シリンダの軸心を中心とした回動方向をZ方向という。)のみ、ジョイントホルダ11の回転を規制できる。なお、後述するピン17を中心とした回動方向をX方向とし、枢支軸2aを中心とした回動方向をY方向とする。
【0018】
つまり、図2に示すように、該ブラケット16は鋼板等のプレートを、ジョイントホルダ11の左右両側を適度な大きさで挟み込むように平面視コの字型に折り曲げ成形する。
【0019】
ブラケット16の中央の平面部分には貫通孔16bが貫通して形成され、前記ジョイントボール貫通孔12aを貫通した枢支軸2aが貫通孔16bを貫通してピン14にて抜け止めされる。貫通孔16bの大きさは、ジョイントボール貫通孔12aの径よりも若干大きく成形されている。
【0020】
そして、前記ブラケット16の両側には小径の貫通孔16a・16aが成形され、ジョイントホルダ11の側面にも略同じ径のピン穴11a・11aが成形される。該ピン穴11a・11aはジョイントボール12取付後に成形したものでも良いし、あらかじめ同軸上に貫通孔を設けておいても良い。
【0021】
該ピン穴11a・11a及び貫通孔16a・16aは同一軸心上となるように成形されており、このピン穴11a・11aと貫通孔16a・16aにそれぞれピン17・17を差し込み固定し、ブラケット16はピン17・17に軸支されることによって、油圧シリンダ3はZ方向には回動規制されるが、X方向とY方向には回動ができるようにしている。つまり、ブラケット16とジョイントホルダ11は、枢支軸2aを中心にY方向に回動自在であり、ジョイントホルダ11は、ピン17・17を中心にジョイントボール12の外周でX方向に回動自在であるが、Z方向に対しては、枢支軸2aがブラケット16の貫通孔16bにより規制されるため、回動することができないのである。
【0022】
ここで、図2では、ピン17・17はブラケット16に溶接などにて固定されており、ジョイントホルダ11側にピン17・17を回動可能とするためのピン穴11a・11aをあけることとしているが、別の実施例として、図4、図5に示すように、ジョイントホルダ11側にスプリングピン17a等を打ち込み、ジョイントホルダ11とスプリングピン17aを固定して、ブラケット16がジョイントホルダ11に対して回動可能となるように、ブラケット16側に貫通孔16a・16aをあけてもよい。また、図示しないネジ等をジョイントホルダ11側に螺装固定し、ブラケット16をネジで枢支する構成とすることもできる。
【0023】
以上より、図1乃至図3のように、該ジョイントボール12が収納されるジョイントホルダ11の外側と、ジョイントボール12を軸支する枢支軸2aとにブラケット16を係合し、該ブラケット16の回動を一方向のみ規制したので、油圧シリンダ3の回転方向を規制して、センサ7の検出精度を向上させることができ、センサ7の故障防止にもなる。また、回転方向の規制が従来よりも容易なものとなり、経済性も向上する。加えて、ジョイントボール12加工後に規制手段を設けることが可能となり、製作上の自由度も増す。
【0024】
また、前記ブラケット16をコの字型に成形し、中央に枢支軸2aを挿通する貫通孔16bを設け、該ブラケット16の両側にジョイントホルダ11に枢支する貫通孔16a・16aを設けたので、油圧シリンダ3の回転方向を規制して、センサ7の検出精度を向上させることができ、センサ7の故障防止にもなる。また、回転方向の規制が従来よりも容易なものとなり、経済性も向上する。加えて、ジョイントボール12加工後に規制手段を設けることが可能となり、製作上の自由度も増す。
【発明の効果】
本発明は、以上のように構成したので、以下に示すような効果を奏する。
【0025】
即ち、請求項1に示す如く、シリンダチューブ(3b)とピストンロッド(3a)よりなる油圧シリンダ(3)の基部の取付部を、ジョイントボール(12)を介して、リフトアーム(2)の枢支軸(2a)に軸支し、該ピストンロッド(3a)と該シリンダチューブ(3b)との間に、伸縮長さを検知するセンサ(7)を配置したシリンダ取付構造において、前記シリンダチューブ(3b)の端部にジョイントホルダ(11)を溶接固定し、該ジョイントホルダ(11)の中心側にジョイントボール(12)を三次元的に回転自在に収納し、該ジョイントボール(12)の中央の貫通孔(12a)に、前記枢支軸(2a)を挿入し、該ジョイントホルダ(11)の左右両側を挟み込むように、平面視『コ』の字型に成形したブラケット(16)を設け、該ブラケット(16)の挟み込むように曲げた両側に、ジョイントホルダ(11)の外側面に枢支する貫通孔(16a・16a)を設け、該貫通孔(16a・16a)にピン(17・17)を挿入し、該ブラケット(16) をジョイントホルダ(11)に対して回動自在に枢支し、該ブラケット(16)の中央部に、前記枢支軸(2a)を挿入する貫通孔(16b)を設け、該貫通孔(16b)を枢支軸(2a)に挿通し、該ブラケット(16)の貫通孔(16b)と枢支軸(2a)との係合により、前記油圧シリンダ(3)の軸心を中心とし、軸心方向に垂直な方向への回転を規制すべく構成したので、シリンダの回転方向を規制して、センサの検出精度を向上させることができ、センサの故障防止にもなる。
また、回転方向の規制が従来よりも容易なものとなり、経済性も向上する。
加えて、ジョイントボール加工後に規制手段を設けることが可能となり、製作上の自由度も増す。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cylinder mounting structure, more specifically, a cylinder mounting portion including a cylinder tube and a piston rod, and the cylinder is pivotally supported via a joint ball having a through hole. The piston rod and the cylinder tube It is related with the mounting structure of the cylinder which has arrange | positioned the sensor which detects length between.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, the structure of the cylinder tube and piston rod mounting parts such as hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders has been provided with a spherical joint ball so that an excessive load is not applied to the mounting parts at both ends of the cylinder during expansion and contraction. It was designed to be able to rotate originally. For example, in the case of a cylinder mounting portion of an agricultural tractor, the work machine is mounted on the rear part of the tractor via a three-point link type work machine mounting device.
[0003]
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lift arm 2 protrudes rearward from both sides of the hydraulic case 4, the lift link is provided on either the left or right side between the lower link 1 and the lift arm 2, and the hydraulic cylinder 3 is provided on the other side. And the hydraulic cylinder 3 is extended and controlled so that the working machine attached to the rear end of the lower link 1 can be tilted horizontally or at an arbitrary angle. The hydraulic cylinder 3 has a lower link 1 pivotally connected to the tip of a piston rod 3a, and is pivotally connected to a pivot shaft 2a of the lift arm 2 via a spherical joint ball 12 on the head side of the cylinder tube 3b. It was.
[0004]
In the joint ball 12, the joint holder 11 is fixed by welding to the cylinder tube 3b on the cylinder head side of the hydraulic cylinder 3, and the joint ball 12 is housed in a three-dimensionally rotatable manner on the central axis side of the joint holder 11, The pivot shaft 2a of the lift arm 2 was inserted into the shaft hole at the center of the joint ball 12, and was prevented from coming off by a pin 14 fitted to the end of the pivot shaft 2a. And the sensor 7 which detects length is arrange | positioned between the piston rod 3a and the cylinder tube 3b, and the expansion-contraction amount was detected.
[0005]
However, in such a configuration, the piston rod 3a of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is pivotally supported by a pin on the lower link 1, and the piston rod hardly rotates around the axis of the piston rod 3a. Since the cylinder tube 3b is connected by the pivot shaft 2a via the joint holder 11 and the joint ball 12, the cylinder tube 3b can be slightly rotated around the axis of the cylinder tube 3b. In this case, when the cylinder tube 3b rotates about the axis, it is detected that the sensor 7 is extended and the hydraulic cylinder 3 is extended although the hydraulic cylinder 3 is not expanded or contracted.
[0006]
For this reason, a controller (not shown) determines that the hydraulic cylinder 3 has expanded, and even in the case of horizontal control, a malfunction occurs in which the hydraulic cylinder 3 is reduced. This type of malfunction often causes vibrations, which not only adversely affect work accuracy, but also causes the sensor 7 to be twisted and cause a failure.
[0007]
Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a solution is shown in which a hole is formed in a spherical joint ball 12 and a pin 15 is driven through the joint holder 11 (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As a result, the rotation of the hydraulic cylinder 3 around the axis of the cylinder tube 3b and the piston rod 3a can be regulated.
[0008]

Utility Model Registration No. 2548994 [0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in such a conventional method (when the pin 15 is fixed to the joint holder 11 by welding or the like so that the pin 15 and the joint holder 11 can rotate with respect to the joint ball 12), the pin 15 and the joint ball The friction of 12 through holes was large. In addition, the joint ball 12 has to be processed before being attached to the joint holder 11. For this reason, the processing of the joint ball 12 is complicated and not economical. Further, it is impossible to perform processing after the joint holder 11 is mounted, and parts common to the hydraulic cylinder 3 to which the sensor 7 is attached and the hydraulic cylinder 3 to which the sensor 7 is not attached cannot be used, resulting in high costs. It was.
[0010]

[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described for a case where a work machine is mounted on the rear part of an agricultural tractor via a three-point link type work machine mounting apparatus. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which a cylinder is a hydraulic cylinder 3 and the hydraulic cylinder 3 is connected to a lift arm 2 at the rear of a tractor.
[0014]
1 is a rear view of the cylinder mounting portion, FIG. 2 is also a partially sectional plan view, FIG. 3 is also a plan view, FIG. 4 is a partially sectional plan view showing another embodiment of the cylinder mounting portion, and FIG. FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a rear view showing a conventional connecting structure in which a hydraulic cylinder is connected to a lift arm, and FIG. 7 is a side view showing a state where the hydraulic cylinder is rotated around the axis of the cylinder.
[0015]
First, the cylinder mounting structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. A piston rod 3a (see FIG. 7) having a piston fixed to a cylinder tube 3b of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is retractably stored, and a joint holder 11 storing a joint ball 12 is welded and fixed to the proximal end of the cylinder tube 3b. ing. The joint holder 11 is configured in a ring shape, and the joint ball 12 fitted in the joint holder 11 is configured in a substantially spherical shape.
[0016]
A joint ball through hole 12a is opened at the center of the joint ball 12, and a pivot shaft 2a serving as a pivot shaft that protrudes laterally from the rear end of the lift arm 2 is inserted and pivoted. The joint ball 12 is prevented from coming off by a pin 14 penetrating the pivot shaft 2a. In this state, the joint holder 11 can be three-dimensionally rotated with respect to the joint ball 12.
[0017]
In the present invention, the joint ball 12 is formed with a joint ball through hole 12a in the diametrical direction through which the pivot shaft 2a of the lift arm 2 passes, and the pivot shaft 2a is mounted on the bracket 16 attached to the joint holder 11. And one end of the joint ball through hole 12a is disposed in contact with the inner surface thereof. For this reason, the rotation of the joint holder 11 can be restricted only in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the hydraulic cylinder 3 (hereinafter, the rotation direction around the axial center of the hydraulic cylinder is referred to as the Z direction). In addition, the rotation direction centering on the pin 17 mentioned later is set to X direction, and the rotation direction centering on the pivot shaft 2a is set to Y direction.
[0018]
That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the bracket 16 is formed by bending a plate such as a steel plate into a U-shape in plan view so as to sandwich the left and right sides of the joint holder 11 with an appropriate size.
[0019]
A through-hole 16b is formed through the central plane portion of the bracket 16, and the pivot shaft 2a that passes through the joint ball through-hole 12a passes through the through-hole 16b and is prevented from being removed by the pin 14. The size of the through hole 16b is formed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the joint ball through hole 12a.
[0020]
Small-diameter through holes 16 a and 16 a are formed on both sides of the bracket 16, and pin holes 11 a and 11 a having substantially the same diameter are formed on the side surfaces of the joint holder 11. The pin holes 11a and 11a may be formed after the joint ball 12 is attached, or through holes may be provided on the same axis in advance.
[0021]
The pin holes 11a and 11a and the through holes 16a and 16a are formed so as to be on the same axis, and the pins 17 and 17 are inserted and fixed in the pin holes 11a and 11a and the through holes 16a and 16a, respectively. 16 is pivotally supported by pins 17 and 17, so that the hydraulic cylinder 3 is restricted in rotation in the Z direction, but can be rotated in the X and Y directions. That is, the bracket 16 and the joint holder 11 are rotatable in the Y direction about the pivot shaft 2a, and the joint holder 11 is rotatable in the X direction on the outer periphery of the joint ball 12 around the pins 17 and 17. However, since the pivot shaft 2a is restricted by the through hole 16b of the bracket 16 in the Z direction, it cannot be rotated.
[0022]
Here, in FIG. 2, the pins 17 and 17 are fixed to the bracket 16 by welding or the like, and pin holes 11 a and 11 a for allowing the pins 17 and 17 to rotate are formed on the joint holder 11 side. However, as another embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the spring pin 17 a or the like is driven into the joint holder 11 side, the joint holder 11 and the spring pin 17 a are fixed, and the bracket 16 is attached to the joint holder 11. On the other hand, the through holes 16a and 16a may be formed on the bracket 16 side so as to be rotatable. Moreover, it can also be set as the structure which screws and fixes the screw etc. which are not shown in figure to the joint holder 11 side, and pivotally supports the bracket 16 with a screw.

In a cylinder mounting structure in which a sensor (7) for detecting an expansion / contraction length is disposed between the piston rod (3a) and the cylinder tube (3b), which is supported by a support shaft (2a), the cylinder tube ( 3b) the joint holder (11) is welded and fixed to the end of the joint holder (11), and the joint ball (12) is housed in a three-dimensionally rotatable manner on the center side of the joint holder (11). The pivot shaft (2a) is inserted into the through-hole (12a) of the bracket, and a bracket (1) formed into a U-shape in plan view so as to sandwich the left and right sides of the joint holder (11) (1) ) And through holes (16a, 16a) pivotally supported on the outer surface of the joint holder (11) are provided on both sides bent so as to sandwich the bracket (16), and pins are provided in the through holes (16a, 16a). (17, 17) is inserted, the bracket (16) is pivotally supported with respect to the joint holder (11), and the pivot shaft (2a) is inserted into the central portion of the bracket (16). Through the through hole (16b), the through hole (16b) is inserted into the pivot shaft (2a), and the through hole (16b) of the bracket (16) is engaged with the pivot shaft (2a). Since it is configured to restrict the rotation in the direction perpendicular to the axial center direction around the axial center of the hydraulic cylinder (3) , the detection accuracy of the sensor can be improved by regulating the rotation direction of the cylinder. This also prevents sensor failure.
Further, the regulation of the rotation direction becomes easier than before, and the economy is improved.
In addition, it is possible to provide a restricting means after processing the joint ball, which increases the degree of freedom in manufacturing.
[0026]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the diameter of the through hole (16b) into which the pivot shaft (2a) provided in the bracket (16) is inserted is such that the pivot shaft (2a) of the joint ball (12) has a diameter. Since the diameter of the through hole (12a) is slightly larger than the diameter of the through hole (12a), the rotation direction can be easily regulated as compared with the prior art, and the economy is improved.
In addition, it is possible to provide a restricting means after processing the joint ball, which increases the degree of freedom in manufacturing.
