Abstract
A handling machine with a telescopic arm including a hydraulic actuator system carried by a second section of the arm mounted so as to slide inside a first section, and a hydraulic control circuit that includes a pipe system that extends at least partly inside the arm and is connected to the hydraulic actuator system in order to supply the hydraulic actuator system. The pipe system includes at least one flexible hydraulic pipe that extends inside the arm and has a first portion fixedly mounted to the first section; a second portion fixedly mounted to the second section; and a U-shaped third portion connecting the first portion and the second portion to one another. The concave side of the U-shaped third portion is oriented towards the end of the first section that is opposite the end of the first section.
Claims17
A handling machine comprising:
- a telescopic arm including a first section and a second section mounted to slide into the first section;
- a telescopic ram configured to displace the second section in relation to the first section;
- a hydraulic actuator system coupled to the second section of the telescopic arm;
- and
- a hydraulic control circuit including a hydraulic pipe system extending at least partially inside the telescopic arm and attached to the hydraulic actuator system to supply the hydraulic actuator system;
- wherein,
- the telescopic ram includes
- a ram body mounted fixedly in relation to the first section and
- a ram rod mounted to slide between a retracted position in the ram body and an extended position,
- the hydraulic pipe system includes at least one flexible hydraulic pipe that extends inside the telescopic arm and includes
- a first portion fixed in relation to the first section,
- a second portion fixed in relation to the second section, and
- a U-shaped third portion connecting the first portion and the second portion to one another,
- the concavity of the U-shaped third portion is oriented toward a distal end of the first section,
- the distal end is opposite a proximal end of the first section,
- the proximal end defining an opening, and
- the second section extending into the opening such that when the ram rod is actuated from the retracted position to the extended position, the U-shaped third portion moves along an external part of the ram rod of the telescopic ram extending out of the ram body of the telescopic ram.
A handling machine comprising:
- a telescopic arm including a first section slidably engaged with a second section;
- a hydraulic actuator disposed in the telescopic arm and configured to slidably move the first section relative to the second section, the hydraulic actuator including
- a body mounted to the first section and
- a rod mounted to the second section and slidably engaged with the body, the rod extending at least partially into the body;
- and
- a flexible hydraulic pipe at least partially disposed in the telescopic arm and including
- a first portion mounted to the first section,
- a second portion mounted to the second section, and
- a U-shaped third portion connecting the first portion to the second portion,
- wherein, when the rod slides relative to the body, the U-shaped third portion moves along the rod.
