Prevention of damage to ploughshares - involves hydraulically operated hinged connection of ploughshare to beam by pivots mounted on fixed brackets

摘要

The plough blade (10) is mounted on a fixed bracket (8) by means of a pivot (9) at its upper end, in such a way that the pivot is vertically above the bottom edge (15) of the blade in the direction of travel. The pivot being close to the top edge of the blade. The hydraulic ram (16) is pivot mounted at the end of the cylinder to the bracket (8), and the free end of the piston rod is attached to the back support (12) of the blade. Hydraulic lines (18) connect the cylinder to the oil feed unit (17). USE/ADVANTAGE - Robust and stable but compact system for preventing damage to ploughshares.
