Front loader with tripod manipulator

In the modern world, the front-end loaders for loading cylindrical piece loads are increasingly used in industrial facilities. When stacking barrels or pipes, in some cases it is necessary to perform both additional maneuvering of the chassis and additional positioning by the loader's lifting body. To do this, it is advisable to use a front loader with a tripod manipulator. The process of moving a cargo-handling body from the moment of object capture to the moment of its loading is considered. The design of the loading and transport unit mechanism has been developed. The working area of the loader is calculated, which, in turn, is enlarged compared to the base model due to the use of a two-axle chassis, a space-parallelogram mechanism, telescopic drives and a tripod manipulator. Geometric, structural and kinematic analysis was carried out. Studies have shown that the required time to bypass obstacles, taking into account the use of a two-axle chassis, is 14 % less, and the loader's performance coefficient is 0,75 relative to the base model (patent RU 2722747 C1, Issue No. 16).
