TOOL CONNECTOR, MACHINE WITH SAID TOOL CONNECTOR AND METHOD OF CONNECTING MACHINE CONNECTOR WITH WORKING TOOL CONNECTOR Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC E02F3/36 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: proposed connector comprises retainer for attachment of working tool to the machine. Said retainer comprises retaining element and safety element. Said retaining element can displace from free position into locked position and vice versa. Safety element can displace retaining element from free position to locked position. At least, two hydraulic joints to be jointed together to make working fluid channel between the working tool pressurised fluid main line channel and machine pressurised fluid main line channel. There is a drive to displace said retaining element from free position to locked position and to drive, at least, one of said two hydraulic joints to connection with the other hydraulic joint. Said drive is separated from the main pressurised working fluid main line. Machine comprises above described connector. In compliance with proposed method, working tool is attached to the machine so that hydraulic joints are leveled. Attachment by means of retainer including retaining element an safety element. Said safety element displaces retaining element from free position to locked position at pressure decreased by aforesaid drive and vice versa. Said drive displaces said retaining element from free position to locked position and to drive, at least, one of said two hydraulic joints to connection with the other hydraulic joint.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
