  • Publication number: 20240026695
    Abstract: A concrete compaction device includes a vibrator housing for immersion in flowable concrete, and an unbalance exciter which is driven by an electric motor and which is arranged in the vibrator housing. A current detection device detects the electric current absorbed by the electric motor. Ann evaluation device determines an operating state of the concrete compaction device based on the electric current that is currently detected. The operating state is selected from the group consisting of: positioning of the vibrator housing in the air, immersion of the vibrator housing in the concrete, performance of a compaction process with the vibrator housing immersed in the concrete, and emersion of the vibrator housing from the concrete. The evaluation device is configured to recognize all of these operating states.

  • Patent number: 11814800
    Abstract: The present invention relates to street sweeper. According to a first aspect of the invention, different mechanisms are disclosed for controlling the movement of the brush-holder arms in a horizontal plane, while also damping side and front impacts. According to a second aspect, a sweeper is disclosed, in which the movement of the brush-holder arms (3) in a vertical plane is imparted by a set of four profile members, arranged in two pairs which each forms a deformable parallelogram, wherein the deformation of the parallelogram is actuated by a jack (25) and the own weight of the sweeping arm. The jack is configured to remain below the upper profile members (11) of the two pairs when the brush-holder arm is raised to its maximum height. According to a third aspect, the suction turbine (103) is arranged in such a way that load losses are reduced during the operation of the sweeper.
