Abstract
The invention concerns an arrangement for the movement of a working unit of an agricultural working implement between a first position and a second position, with an actuator that is provided with a chamber to which a pressurized medium can be applied and that is coupled to the working unit in such a way that it brings the working unit into the second position when the medium is applied to the chamber and the working unit reaches the first position when the medium is not applied to the chamber. An accumulator control arrangement serves to connect the chamber of the actuator to the accumulator only when the working unit moves into the first position.
Claims8
In an agricultural working implement including at least one working unit mounted thereon for movement between first and second positions, an extensible and retractable actuator coupled to said working unit and including a chamber, a medium under pressure and a medium reservoir connected to said chamber by way of a first control arrangement operable for selectively coupling said chamber either to said medium under pressure or medium reservoir, and said actuator being coupled with said working unit in such a way that it brings the working unit into said second position when the medium is applied to the chamber, and permits said working unit to move to said first position when the chamber is coupled to said reservoir, the improvement comprising:
- an accumulator, and an accumulator control device coupled between said accumulator and said chamber for connecting said accumulator to said chamber only when said working unit is in said first position.
