Claims
- 1. A linkage mechanism of a work implement in a loading vehicle comprising:
- a lift arm having a support end pivotably supported from a vehicle body and a front end extending forward and rotatable up and down in a vertical direction about a first pivotal support point on the support end;
- a bucket pivotally supported on a second pivotal support point located at a lower portion of a rear surface of said bucket and the front end portion of said lift arm;
- a bellcrank pivotably supported from said lift arm on a third pivotal support point located at a middle portion along a longitudinal direction of said bellcrank;
- a tilt rod pivotably connected at a fourth pivotal support point located at a forward end portion of said bellcrank and at a fifth pivotal support point located on an upper portion of the rear surface of said bucket; and
- a tilt cylinder pivotably connected at a sixth pivotal support point at the vehicle body and at a seventh pivotal support point on a rear end portion of said bellcrank to be operated for tilting said bucket wherein
- a distance from the second pivotable support point between said bucket and said lift arm to the third pivotable support point between said lift arm and said bellcrank is represented by X, and a distance from the third pivotable support point between said lift arm and said bellcrank to the first pivotable support point between said lift arm and the vehicle body is represented by Y, a ratio between the distances X and Y is set at .alpha. (Y/X=.alpha.), and further wherein
- a first triangle is defined between the first pivotable support, the third pivotable support point and the seventh pivotable support point,
- a second triangle is defined between the second pivotable support point, the third pivotal support point and the fourth pivotable support point,
- a third triangle is defined between the first pivotable support point, the seventh pivotable support point and the sixth pivotable support point, and
- a fourth triangle is defined between the second pivotable support point, the fourth pivotable support point and the fifth pivotable support point such that the first and third triangles are in similar figure ratio relationships with the second and fourth triangles, respectively.
- 2. A linkage mechanism of a work implement as claimed in claim 1, wherein the similar figure ratio relationship of the first triangle with the second triangle and the third triangle with the fourth triangle is .alpha..
