  • Publication number: 20230083709
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tamper device for a screed of a working machine, in particular a paver. The device comprises a rotatable driveable tamper shaft with an eccentric section, an 5 eccentric bushing mounted on the eccentric section, and a connecting rod rotatable mounted on the eccentric bushing for being driveable with stroke motions having a stroke, the stroke being adjustable by an rotational adjustment of a relative rotational positioning between the eccentric bushing and the eccentric section. The device further comprises an inner-toothed hollow 10 wheel gear train for providing the rotational adjustment. The gear train is connected to the tamper shaft, to the eccentric bushing, and to a drive force receiving element configured to be able to receive a drive force for driving the innertoothed hollow wheel gear train when the tamper shaft is rotating.

  • Patent number: 11242658
    Abstract: A paver machine includes a screed arranged to level out road material disposed on the ground and a pressure actuated screed lifting cylinder arranged to lift and lower the screed with respect to the ground. A pressure sensor is arranged to measure the pressure in the cylinder when the screed is being lifted or lowered. Further a control unit configured to receive pressure data from the pressure sensor indicative of the pressure in the screed lifting cylinder when the screed is being lifted by the screed lifting cylinder. Based on analysing the pressure data, the control unit sets a reference height position for the screed.
