Abstract
Hydraulic system mounted to a snowblower allowing to the auger to be driven at a speed that feeds the fan with snow at a rate and load, which let the snowblower blows the snow without losing any performance, and avoiding the fan from slowing down below its critical speed and to block.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedThe embodiments of the invention for which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed, are defined as follows:
1 . Hydraulic system mounted to a snowblower, said hydraulic system comprising:
the fluid coming out from the pump passes through a valve sending the fluid back to the thank or drive any hydraulic accessories such as a snowblower usually connected to the hydraulic power source with a quick connector allowing a fast or removal installation of the snowblower; said hydraulic fluid is sent directly to the main hydraulic manifold of the snowblower, to the auger motor and come back to said main hydraulic manifold by its return line and case drain line. The fluid coming back from said auger motor to said main hydraulic manifold is conduct to the fan motor, and said fan motor return line and case drain line get back the fluid into said main hydraulic manifold. The fluids passing through the hydraulic motors return to the machinery's hydraulic system through said quick connector; the cartridge valve located inwardly from said manifold bypasses a part of the total amount of fluid passing through the auger motor from its inlet to its outlet, and said cartridge valve is actuated by the input pressure measure on the input hose which bring back the fluid from the machinery's hydraulic system; the chute rotation mechanism and the chute deflector are actuated by an hydraulic cylinder controlled by an electric valve actuated by a switch fixed nearby the operator, and said electric valves are connected directly on said main hydraulic manifold; and the electric power source supplies the electrohydraulic valves.
2 . The hydraulic system of claim 1 , wherein said hydraulic fluid is sent directly to the main hydraulic manifold of the snowblower, to the fan motor and come back to said main hydraulic manifold by its return line and case drain line. The fluid coming back from said fan motor to said main hydraulic manifold is conduct to the auger motor, and said auger motor return line and case drain line get back the fluid into said main hydraulic manifold. The fluids passing through the hydraulic motors return to the machinery's hydraulic system through said quick connector;Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
