Abstract:
A driveline assembly for equipment, such as a tiller, includes a pair of counter-rotating bevel gears supported on a wheel shaft and rotatable relative to the wheel shaft. The driveline assembly includes a first slider gear movable between a first position in which the first slider gear is engaged with a first bevel gear of the pair of bevel gears, and a second position in which the first slider gear is engaged with a second bevel gear of the pair of bevel gears. When the first slider gear is engaged with the first bevel gear, the first bevel gear becomes operatively connected to a rotatable tine shaft to rotate tines in a first direction. When the first slider gear is engaged with the second bevel gear, the second bevel gear becomes operatively connected to the rotatable tine shaft to rotate the tines in a second direction opposite the first direction.
Abstract:
A hydraulic connector for hydraulic circuits includes a female coupling and a male coupling which are configured to directly couple with and decouple from each other. The female and male couplings do not include inner spaces to accommodate a first sensor. A mutual connection of the female and male couplings facilitates flow of a fluid between the female and male couplings. At least either the male or female coupling includes a first hollow element which is applied directly to an external surface of the male or female coupling to define an inner space. Either the male or female coupling includes the first sensor positioned in the inner space formed by the first hollow element. The first sensor is configured to detect and transmit electronic signals corresponding to working and/or operating parameters and/or values of the connector to a receiver.
Abstract:
An attachable tilling device for a vehicle is provided. The device includes a housing having a base member, wherein a pair of opposing side members extend downwardly from a first end and a second end thereof. A bar member is rotatably affixed between the pair of opposing side members, wherein the bar member rotates about a longitudinal axis. The bar member includes a plurality of tilling blades affixed thereto. A gear system is operably connected to the bar member, wherein the gear system rotates the bar member. A gearbox is disposed on an upper side of the housing, wherein a pair of shaft members are operably connected to the gearbox, wherein a first shaft member connects to the gear system and a second shaft member connects to a motor, such that when the motor is actuated, power is transferred to the gearbox, thereby rotating the plurality of tilling blades.
Abstract:
A rotary tiller device provides at least one interchangeable torqueing apparatus to generate different torques and angular velocities for tilling soil and removing weeds with at least one interchangeable rotary shank. The type, size, and voltage of the torqueing apparatus is dictated by the type of soil and nature of the work being performed. The interchangeable rotary shank is also interchangeably attached based on the type of soil and tilling requirements. The device is lightweight and portable. The device includes a hollow shaft having a power end and a rotary end. The power end is adapted to interchangeably couple to the torqueing apparatus and includes a control portion for regulating the torqueing apparatus. The rotary end includes a rotary shank that rotatably engages the soil. A gear portion transmits torque from the torqueing apparatus to the rotary shank through a rotatable rod. A handle helps in controlling the device.
Abstract:
The invention is based on a rotor device with at least one rotor that is supported rotatably about a rotor axis, and with a drive unit which is provided for driving the at least one rotor and which comprises at least one drive shaft with at least one section that extends, in at least one operating position of the at least one rotor, at least substantially parallel with respect to the rotor axis. It is proposed that the rotor device comprises a compensation unit which is provided to permit a change of an orientation of the rotor axis with respect to the at least one section.
Abstract:
A garden implement that utilizes a hub motor assembly coupled to a frame. One or more working tools may be selectively coupled to a hub body encompassing a hub motor of the hub motor assembly. The working tools are operative to work soil in a garden or other agricultural setting. The hub motor may include a brushless DC motor driven by an electrical power source. The electrical power source may include a battery or an AC power source. Alternatively, the hub motor may be used to drive a wheel which propels the garden implement.
Abstract:
A clutching mechanism (20) for a cultivating tiller. The tiller has an engine (16) mounted on a frame (12) with a rotatable output shaft (40), a rotatable working shaft (22), and a transmission (18) operatively connecting to the working shaft, the transmission having a rotatable transmission shaft (42) coaxially aligned with the output shaft of the engine. The clutching mechanism includes an upper half pulley (52) attached to the output shaft, and a lower half pulley (54) attached to the transmission shaft, wherein the upper half pulley and lower half pulley are coaxially positioned in a facing but non-contacting relationship such that the upper half pulley is able to freely rotate with respect to the lower half pulley. The clutching mechanism also includes a belt (62) positioned between the upper half pulley and the lower half pulley, and a tensioning assembly (70) configured to selectively tension the belt so that the belt transmits rotation of the upper half pulley to the lower half pulley.
Abstract:
Operation mechanism of a working machine includes a main clutch lever pivotably provided on an operating handle, and a pivot member operable in interlocked relation to pivoting operation of the main clutch lever. The pivot member pivots about a pivot point differing in position from a pivot point of the main clutch lever. When fully pulled by pivoting operation of the main clutch lever, the cable member is located nearest to the pivot point of the pivot member, so that force reverse-pivoting the pivot member is reduced.
Abstract:
A safety mechanism for a turf aerator having a frame and an engine with a governor that generally prevents the turf aerator from operating at full power unless the safety mechanism is engaged. A blocking mechanism and a manual actuation device are mounted to the frame. The manual actuation device is in mechanical communication with the blocking mechanism. The blocking mechanism urges the governor toward a loaded position and the engine operates at a generally low power when the governor is in the loaded position.
Abstract:
A transmission for a working machine including a drive transmission mechanism and a working transmission mechanism operated by swinging a shift lever is provided. The drive transmission mechanism has a key-sliding transmission mechanism axially mounted on a drive shaft. The key-sliding transmission mechanism causes a selected one of a plurality of gears rotatably mounted on the drive shaft and the drive shaft to rotate together to transmit power to drive wheels.
