Definitions
- the invention relates to a foldable link rod system to be placed on a travelling frame comprising pivotally suspended link rods for raising and lowering an operation platform, said system includes a rotating stool for swinging an operation platform on a mainly horizontal movement plane.
- link rod systems of this kind have been used in many different fields, among others for mounting and maintaining buildings and installations.
- a special task has been the deicing of aircrafts.
- the link rod system is placed on a carriage provided with a deicing device and utilized for manoeuvring a nozzle to atomize a deicing medium.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a link rod system which is characterized in a particularly good manoeuvrability which makes it possible to advan ⁇ tageously use it for tasks demanding great mobility combined with a particularly rapid accomplishment of the task, for instance the deicing of aircrafts immediately before they are taking off.
- the rotating stool constitutes the connec ⁇ tion between two link rods which are placed in continuation of each other, in as much as the one part of the rotating stool is linked to the free end of the first link rod which mainly is placed above a centre line of the travelling frame and which at its opposite end is pivotally linked on a mainly vertical plane to a swinging rod system orientated on the swinging plane of the rod, and the second link rod is, also for swinging on a mainly vertical plane, linked to the other part of the rotating stool and at its other end it is linked to the operation platform, and by the fact that the two link rods are pivotal by means of each of their swinging devices which are supported on the travelling frame and the rotating stool respectively, and that the swinging rod system is adapted to communicate a swinging movement to the men ⁇ tioned first link rod, where the mentioned free end of the link rod follows or yet is close to a leadline intersecting this end in one of the end positions of the link rod and at the same
- the rotating stool thus does not con ⁇ stitute any longer the lowest anchoring part of the structure which, for instance, should bear the two mentioned link rods, but an intermediate link ovably connecting the men ⁇ tioned second link rod with mentioned first link rod. That means that the first link rod only needs to be pivotal up and down but not also rotatably anchored with i.e. the tra ⁇ velling frame. This results in a reduction of the mass which has to be moved when the operation platform has to be moved sideways. The sidewise movement can be achieved by only turning the rotating stool placed at the free end of the first link rod whereby the second link rod is swung sideways.
- the first link rod mainly shall be placed about the centre line of the travelling frame, a good stability is ensured as the heavier elements of the link rod system are retained above that centre line. While working, only the small masses of the second link rod and the operation plat ⁇ form will be moved over the wheel base of the vehicle.
- the system according to the invention brings about the specific substantial ad ⁇ vantage that the supply conduits necessary for delivering the spraying media for the purpose of deicing, from the travelling frame to the operation platform may get a ⁇ impel and thus reliable structure as the functioning of the link rod system is not based upon a change of the length of the link rods of the system.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the link rod system according to the invention mounted on a travelling frame and partly in transport position and partly in operating position,
- Fig. 2 shows the same seen from above and in operating position
- Fig. 3 on an enlarged scale the rotating stool with chain driver of the system, seen from the side, and
- Fig. 4 shows the stool according to Fig. 3, seen from above.
- the invention will be described in connection with a vehicle intended for the deicing of aircrafts. Generally, such a deicing is carried out immediately before the taking off of the aircraft.
- the vehicle 10 comprises an engine housing 12 con ⁇ taining a not specified system for spraying a deicing medium.
- the spraying is carried out from an operation platform 14. It will be possible to use that platform to other tasks too, for instance to the accomplishment of repairs.
- the link rod system comprises two link rods 16 and 18, which are placed in continuation of each other and by means of a rotating stool 20 connected with each other, in as much as the first part 22 of said stool is hinged to the free outer end of the lowest link rod 16 and its second part 24 is hinged to the lower end of the second link rod 18.
- the lowest link rod 16 is pivotally anchored on a vertical plane with a swinging rod system consisting of a pair of parallel rods 26 and 28 and a control lever 30 which is mounted on the roof of the engine housing 12 in such a way that the system and the link rod 16 are mainly placed above the centre line of the vehicle 10.
- the anchoring comprises a two-armed swinging arm 32 which by means of a journal 34 is pivotally connected with both the lowest end of the link rod 16 and the projecting end of the parallel rod 26.
- the pivotal anchoring of the parallel rod 26 with the engine housing 12 is designated with 36.
- the parallel rod 28 is pivotally connected with the left arm of the swinging arm 32, and at its other end 40 it is pivotally anchored with the engine housing 12.
- the control lever 30 of the anchoring is at its one end 42 pivotally connected with the link rod 16 at a distance from the lowest end of the latter and by a bed 44 anchored with the engine housing 12.
- a control lever 48 is, at its one end, pivotally connected with the rotating stool 20, and at its other end it is, by means of a bed 52, pivotally connected with the right arm of the swinging arm 32.
- the link rod 16 can be swung up and down by means of a hydraulic piston driver 54 which is also placed on the roof of the engine housing 12.
- a hydraulic piston driver 54 which is also placed on the roof of the engine housing 12.
- the driver 54 is connected with the link rod 16 and the roof of the engine housing 12, respectively.
- the propor ⁇ tions of length of the rods 26,28,30 of the swinging rod system and the placing of their pivotal connections with the link rod 16 and the engine housing 12, respectively, are chosen in such a way that an upward swing of the link rod 16 by activating the hydraulic piston driver 54 results in a nearly vertical lifting of the rotating stool 20 from the transport position shown on the left side on the bottom of the Fig. where the link rod 16 is swung to a laying po ⁇ sition along the roof of the engine housing 12, to an ope ⁇ rating position shown on the top of the Fig.
- this po ⁇ sition all the heavier elements of the system, i.e. the swinging rod system 26, 28, 30, the link rod 16 and the rotating stool 20 are still above the centre line of the vehicle 10 which gives a good balance and thus a good manoeu ⁇ vrability for the vehicle 10.
- the rotating stool 20 includes a part 22, which is pivotally connected with the link rod 16 and a part 24 which in relation to the part 22 is pivotal and parallel to it and to which the nearest end of the link rod 18 is pivotally connected.
- the operation platform 14 is hinged to that outer end of that link rod.
- All these connections are shaped in such a way that the link rod 18 with the operation platform 14 can be swung from the above-mentioned transport position to the operating position and vice versa. In the operating position, the operation platform 14 can be further swung on a horizontal plane, as indicated in Fig. 2.
- the rotating stool 20 is, in its shown embodiment, provided with a chain driver which is shaped as an endless twin chain 60, lead around a chain wheel 62 embedded in the stool part 22 and a chain wheel 64 positioned on a drive shaft 66 on which the stool part 24 is also placed.
- the chain driver is driven by means of a twin piston driver consisting of two piston cylinders 66 and 68 positioned on the part 22 and coupled to their respective parts of the twin chain 60.
- a common valve which is not shown and which is preferably placed on the operation platform 14, the cylinders 66 and 68 are steered in order to operate in the opposite way»
- the length of stroke of the cylinders forms a limitation of the extent of the swinging movement.
