  • Publication number: 20240426065
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling operation of a vibratory roller comprising a roller drum and a vibratory mechanism. The method comprises determining a temperature of a surface to be compacted by the vibratory roller, determining a desired phase angle based on said determined temperature and maintaining the phase angle at, or close to, said desired phase angle by controlling the vibration frequency of the vibratory mechanism.

  • Patent number: 12104334
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling operation of a vibratory roller (1) comprising a roller drum (3) and a vibratory mechanism (2) having at least two amplitude settings. The method comprises operating the vibratory mechanism (2) in one of said at least two amplitude settings; maintaining a predefined phase angle by controlling the vibration frequency of the vibratory mechanism (2); monitoring a bouncing indication value (BIV), said bouncing indication value being calculated based on an acceleration signal indicative of the vertical acceleration of the roller drum (3); and turning off the vibratory mechanism (2) upon detection of a resonance meter value (BIV) that exceeds a predetermined bouncing value (BV), thereby preventing the vibratory roller from operating in a bouncing mode of operation.

  • Patent number: 9334621
    Abstract: An eccentric shaft for a compacting machine is rotatable about a rotational axis and includes a fixed and movable eccentric mass where the movable eccentric mass cooperates with the fixed eccentric mass in one of the directions of rotation of the eccentric shaft to partly balance the fixed eccentric mass in the other rotation direction of the eccentric shaft. At least one section of the fixed eccentric mass shows a maximal radial extension (UB) in relation to the rotational axis, limited by an arc-shaped curve, which extends to a circle shape, with the diameter (D) showing a distance (A), between the point (P) on the circle-shaped curve that is located closest to the point of intersection of the rotational axis and the section plane, and the point of intersection, from 0 up to 0.1(D).

  • Patent number: 7427176
    Abstract: A vibratory plate includes a sprinkler device (3) for wetting the underside of a base plate (2) of the vibratory plate (1). The vibratory plate also includes a water tank (4) and the sprinkler device (3) has an outlet (8) for passing the water, a valve (11) to control the release of water and a knob (5) for the operation of the valve. A channel (6) guides the released water and is arranged along the front edge of the base plate (2). The channel (6) is arranged with descending inclinations along and from the middle of its length and to both side edges of the base plate (2). The outlet (8) is only arranged for the release of water to the middle of the channel (6).
