1、 ASABE/ISO 3776-3:2009 OCT2015 Tractors and machinery for agriculture Seat belts Part 3: Requirements for assemblies American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers ASABE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of engineering app
2、licable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural field equipment, farmstead equ
3、ipment, structures, soil and water resource management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management. NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and adviso
4、ry only. Their use by anyone engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attributable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with applicable ordinances, laws and regulations
5、. Prospective users are responsible for protecting themselves against liability for infringement of patents. ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of 2005 are designated as “ASAE“, regardless of the revision approval date. Newly
6、developed Standards, Engineering Practices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as “ASABE“. Standards designated as “ANSI“ are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE. Adoption as an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requ
7、irements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by ASABE. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much mo
8、re than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Additionally, procedures of ASABE r
9、equire that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw each standard. Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. All rights reserved.

29、o the occupant, and designed to provide easy and rapid release of the assembly with a single motion. It shall also be capable of being released with either hand, bare or gloved. The buckle shall be designed to minimize the possibility of accidental release due to operator movement, inertia or extern
30、al forces. Additionally, the buckle shall be in accordance with 4.3 and 4.4. 4.1.3 Adjustment The seat belt shall be self-adjusting or readily adjustable by a means within easy reach of the seat occupant. Adjustment to a snug condition shall accommodate in all operating positions an operator in at l

The creep shall not exceed 25 mm for each adjusting device in the assembly. The sum of cre
32、ep amounts for all adjusting devices in the belt assembly shall not exceed 40 mm. ASABE/ISO3776-3:2009 OCT2015 Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 4 4.1.4.2 Conditions Two seat belt assemblies of the same part number shall be conditioned for 24 h at a temperature of (
33、20 5)C and (65 5)% relative humidity. The test shall be conducted at a temperature between 15C and 30C. The test apparatus shall conform to that shown in Figure 1 for tests 1 and 2. 4.1.4.3 Test procedure Before starting the tests, complete 20 cycles of the reciprocating motion described in c) to re
34、move initial slack. Mark the force-bearing strap material at each adjuster in preparation for measuring creep. a) Mount the belts as shown in Figure 1 for tests 1 and 2. b) Apply a 5 kg mass to the lower end of each belt assembly. If there is a free end serving as a reserve strap, it shall not be fa
35、stened or clipped to the section subjected to the 5 kg mass. c) Apply a reciprocating-motion total amplitude of (300 20) mm to the top end of each belt assembly. d) Ensure that the strap in the slack position maintains contact with the full length of the body block on the test bench. e) Guide the 5
36、kg mass vertically so as to prevent swaying of the mass and twisting of the belt during testing. The attachment shall be fixed to the 5 kg mass in the same manner as in the tractor or agricultural machine. f) Complete 1 000 cycles at a frequency of 0,5 Hz at the reciprocation motion of (300 20) mm.
37、The 5 kg mass shall be applied only during the time corresponding to a shift of (100 12) mm of each half cycle. See Figure 1. g) Measure the distance the strap material has moved at each adjusting device. ASABE/ISO3776-3:2009 OCT2015 Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineer
38、s 5 Figure 1 Creep test apparatus 4.1.5 Breaking strength 4.1.5.1 Test procedure All the components of three seat belt assemblies shall be tested. a) Adjust the pelvic restraint between seat belt anchorages to a length between 914 mm and 1 219 mm, or as near to this length as possible if the design
39、of the pelvic restraint does not permit its adjustment to this length. An automatic locking or emergency locking retractor, when included in a seat belt assembly, shall be locked at the start of the test with a tension in the strapping slightly in excess of the retractile force, in order to keep the
40、 retractor locked. b) Orientate the attachment hardware to the strapping as specified in e) below and as shown in Figure 2. c) Apply a tensile force of (11,1 0,1) kN to the components in any convenient manner: the extension between anchorages under this force shall not increase by more than 500 mm.
41、d) Reduce the tensile force. The buckle release force shall be in accordance with 4.4.3. ASABE/ISO3776-3:2009 OCT2015 Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 6 e) Attach the attachment hardware furnished with the seat belt assembly to the anchorage bar. The attaching bolt
42、, with the listed exceptions, shall be parallel to or at an angle of 45 or 90 to the strapping, whichever results in the greatest angle between strapping and attachment hardware. Eye bolts shall be vertical, and the attaching bolts of a seat belt assembly designed for use in specific models of machi
43、nes shall be installed to produce the maximum angle in use indicated by the installation instructions. 4.1.5.2 Acceptance condition The complete seat belt assembly, including strapping, straps, buckles, adjustment and attachment hardware and retractors, shall withstand a tensile force of not less th
44、an 11,1 kN i.e. each structural component of the assembly shall withstand a force of 11,1 kN when tested by the procedure of 4.1.5.1. Figure 2 Loop force testing machine 4.1.6 Marking (labelling) Each conformant seat belt assembly and/or section of the seat belt assembly shall be permanently and leg
45、ibly labelled with the following: reference to this part of ISO 3776 (i.e. “ISO 3776-3:2009”); year of manufacture; model or style number; name or trademark of the manufacturer or importer. 4.1.7 Usage and maintenance instructions When packaged separately, seat belt assemblies shall be accompanied b
46、y written instructions for a) installation, including the proper manner of threading the strap into the attachment hardware when threadable hardware is supplied, ASABE/ISO3776-3:2009 OCT2015 Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 7 b) correct wearing of the installed ass
47、embly, and c) proper maintenance (including cleaning procedures) and periodic inspection for wear or damage. 4.2 Strap material requirements 4.2.1 Material The strap material shall have resistance to mild acids, alkalies, mildew, aging, moisture and sunlight equal to or better than that of untreated
48、 polyester yarn. 4.2.2 Stiffness In order to minimize roping, the strap material shall be woven and/or treated to produce stiffness in the transverse direction. The stiffness shall be effective for the usable life of the strap. The strap shall be flexible in the longitudinal direction to permit adju
49、stment at 40C. 4.2.3 Colour Preferred colours are those recommended by the strap material manufacturer as being less sensitive to ultraviolet rays. 4.2.4 Width The strap material shall not be less than 46 mm in width when measured under a no-force condition. 4.2.5 Ends The ends shall be protected or treated to prevent unravelling and shall not pull out of the adjustment hardware at maximum size adjustment. 4.2.6 Strength Test procedure Condition three specimens f
