  • Publication number: 20210298235
    Abstract: A self-propelling combine and a method for operating a self-propelling combine are disclosed. The combine includes a straw chopper for processing a residual flow formed by plant residues, a cleaning device for cleaning a flow of material formed primarily by grains from residual components contained therein, a chaff spreader, and a power spreader. Using the chaff spreader, the residual components separated from the flow of material by the cleaning device are removed. Further, the residual flow, processed using the straw chopper, is ejected using the power spreader. For improved distribution of unutilized plant residues on the field, the power spreader is assigned to the straw chopper at the bottom such that the residual flow leaving the straw chopper is transferred directly to a material inlet region of the power spreader, and the residual components leaving the chaff spreader are emitted into a transfer region upstream from the power spreader.

  • Patent number: 6971353
    Abstract: In a camshaft adjustment control device for an internal combustion engine arranged in the drive train for a camshaft, with an inner body connected to the camshaft and an outer body rotatable relative to the inner body, and a control space between the inner and the outer bodies to which hydraulic fluid can be supplied for adjusting the relative angular positions of the inner body connected to the camshaft and the outer body driven by the crankshaft, the inner body is mounted to the camshaft by a bolt having a central bore in which a control spool valve is disposed controlling the flow of fluid to and from the control space and a check valve is arranged in the supply lines of the hydraulic fluid to the control spool valve which check valve opens when a certain pressure is applied thereto.
