发明名称 Power latch adapter for quick change attachment coupler
摘要 An add on adapter for converting an attachment coupler on a skid steer vehicle from hand operated latching and unlatching to power operated latching and unlatching when connecting and disconnecting work implements or accessories to the attachment coupler of the vehicle. The adapter is a substantially rectangular box shaped housing having a front and a back wall defining a relatively thin interior compartment with the back wall having rearwardly extending members to attach the housing to a front wall of the attachment coupler of the vehicle. Inside the housing is a vertically mounted pair of latch pins which are moveable longitudinally by hydraulic actuators between a retracted or unlatched position and an extended to latched position. A forwardly extending lip at the top of the front wall engages a rearwardly extending flange on a work implement to be attached to the vehicle. The latch pins when in the extended position, protrude from the bottom of the housing and engage apertures in a rearwardly extending flange on the work implement to latch the implement securely in place on the adapter. The adapter can remain attached to the attachment coupler and different implements can be attached and detached by the vehicle operator from inside the vehicle cab by operating hydraulic controls which control the operation of the hydraulic actuators and the movement of the latch pins to a latched or unlatched position.
