The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND PRIORITY
[0001] The present application claims no priority from any of the patent application(s).
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of actuator. More particularly, the present invention relates to an actuator system used for operating a stabilizer leg assembly.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art, which may be related to various aspects of the present disclosure that are described or claimed below. This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements in this background section are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0004] A concept of using a stabilizer leg is very commonly used in various automotive applications. The stabilizer legs are also used in various static load carrying applications. Traditionally, the stabilizer legs are used for supporting the vehicle body in order to maintain balance over unusual surface conditions, especially in the earthmovers. Also, in some applications the stabilizer legs are utilized as a stopper body of the vehicle.
[0005] The conventional stabilizer leg is designed to withstand with high amount of impact received from the supported body. These legs are positioned on the ground so that the impact from the body is absorbed with respect to the ground surface. The positioning of the conventional stabilizer leg is performed using hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic cylinder is provided with a fluid reservoir, fluid conduits, valves, controlling system and many more components. In some existing examples the pneumatic cylinder with associated components is also used for operating the stabilizer legs.
[0006] Further, the conventional stabilizer legs also include different type of a gear trains to transmit motion from hydraulic actuators to the stabilizer legs. The gear trains are also used to achieve different speed ratios for the movement of the leg. Generally, rack and pinion gear train, simple gear train or compound gear train is used to transmit motion.
[0007] The conventional stabilizer leg uses hydraulic system to perform operation, where the hydraulic system includes number of components. These components cause to increase the overall weight of the stabilizer leg system. Also, the design for the stabilizer leg assembly is complex due to large number of components. Further, the hydraulic system causes fluid leakage and requires regular maintenance of the hydraulic valves, cylinder and other components. Thus, more maintenance cost is required in such hydraulically operated stabilizer legs.
[0008] In light of the above stated discussion, there exists a need of an improved actuation system for operating the stabilizer leg assembly to overcome the above stated disadvantages.
