  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11796649
    Abstract: What is proposed is a method for optically measuring distances, in the case of which a first plurality of measuring pulses is emitted during a first measuring interval by means of a transmitting element of a transmitting unit at first emitting times, and wherein a second plurality of measuring pulses is emitted during a second measuring interval by means of the transmitting element of the transmitting unit at second emitting times. The method comprises the reception of reflected measuring pulses by means of a receiving element of a receiving unit assigned to the transmitting element at receiving times. The method further comprises the determining of a first amount of times-of-flight for each received measuring pulse, wherein the first amount of times-of-flight is determined by using the first emitting times.
