发明名称 COUPLING INDICATION ASSEMBLY FOR IMPLEMENT SYSTEM
摘要 A coupler includes a mounting structure having a mounting hole and a locking mechanism. The mounting hole is configured to receive a mounting pin disposed on the implement. The locking mechanism includes an actuation system rigidly coupled to the mounting structure. The locking mechanism includes a catch plate operatively connected to the actuation system and configured to selectively lock the mounting pin received in the mounting hole. The coupler further includes a coupling indication assembly that includes a flag member pivotally coupled to the catch plate of the locking mechanism. A resilient member is attached to the flag member to bias the flag member to a first position. The coupling indication assembly includes a probe member attached to the flag member and configured to interact with the mounting pin of the implement to move the flag member to a second position.

主权项 1. A coupler for attaching an implement to a machine, the coupler comprising: a mounting structure comprising: a frame;an attachment part rigidly coupled to the frame, the attachment part is configured to attach the coupler with the machine; anda mounting hole disposed on the frame, the mounting hole configured to receive a mounting pin disposed on the implement; a locking mechanism comprising: an actuation system rigidly coupled to the mounting structure; anda catch plate operatively connected to the actuation system and configured to selectively lock the mounting pin received in the mounting hole; and a coupling indication assembly operatively coupled to the locking mechanism, the coupling indication assembly comprising: a flag member pivotally coupled to the catch plate of the locking mechanism;a resilient member attached to the flag member to bias the flag member to a first position; anda probe member attached to the flag member and configured to interact with the mounting pin of the implement received in the mounting hole to move the flag member to a second position, wherein the second position is indicative of positive locking of the implement with the coupler.
