Abstract
A coupling device connecting a working implement to a working arm of a working machine. The device has a first coupler body, a second coupler body pivotally mounted to the first coupler body, and a third coupler body rotatably mounted to the second coupler body so as to be rotatable about a second axis. The coupling device includes first and second spaced apart actuators configured to tilt the second coupler body relative to the first coupler body, where the coupling device comprises a first end and a second end, and wherein the first and second actuators are arranged on the first end.
Claims21
A coupling device for connecting a working implement to a working arm of a working machine, the coupling device comprising:
- a first coupler body comprising an arm mounting arrangement configured to be connectable to the working arm of the working machine;
- a second coupler body pivotally mounted to the first coupler body so as to be capable of tilting about a first axis;
- a third coupler body rotatably mounted to the second coupler body so as to be rotatable about a second axis, where the second axis is arranged at an angle to the first axis, the third coupler body comprising an implement mounting arrangement configured to be connectable to the working implement;
- and
- first and second spaced apart actuators configured to tilt the second coupler body relative to the first coupler body about the first axis,
- wherein the coupling device comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first and second actuators are arranged side-by-side and adjacent to each other on the first end,
- wherein the arm mounting arrangement comprises first and second arm mounts configured to receive first and second pins, respectively, to mount the coupling device to the working arm of the working machine, and wherein the first and second arm mounts are arranged such that the second pin is positioned between the first pin and the first and second actuators.
