  • Patent number: 11447967
    Abstract: An articulated boom of a large manipulator includes a plurality of boom segments connected to one another via articulated joints. At least one of the boom segments has a welded assembly forming a box profile in which an upper belt and a lower belt are connected to one another via lateral web plates. At least one of the web plates, the upper belt, and/or the lower belt is formed at least by one sheet metal section, which has at least one bending running essentially in a longitudinal direction of the boom segment. The at least one bending ends at a distance from an end of the sheet metal section so that the end of the sheet metal section is unbent.

  • Patent number: 10464535
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle (1), in particular a truck-mounted concrete pump, having a pivotable turntable (3), arranged on a frame (2), with a boom (4) constructed thereon, and a frame outrigger (5) which has carriers (6, 6a) that are retractable into the vehicle profile and/or extendable out of the vehicle profile, wherein the carriers (6, 6a) are each guided on an extension portion (7, 7a) fixed to the vehicle and form a telescope (8, 8a) therewith, wherein the extension portions (7, 7a) fixed to the vehicle are arranged behind a cab (9) in the direction of travel, wherein a folding part (11, 11a) connected via a joint (10, 10a) is arranged in each case at a free end of the carriers (6, 6a), wherein a support leg (12, 12a) is arranged on each folding part (11, 11 a), wherein the joint (10, 10a) is arranged outside the respective extension portion (7, 7a) in the retracted transport position of the carriers (6, 6a), such that the folding part (11, 11a) is foldable laterally into the vehicle profile in

  • Publication number: 20190308592
    Abstract: A mobile large manipulator includes a chassis, unfoldable and/or extendable working boom, supporting struts, vertically extendable supporting legs, and a micro-controller-based program-controlled supporting aid. The unfoldable and/or extendable working boom is arranged rotatably around a vertical axis on the chassis. The supporting struts are respectively arranged on the chassis and are horizontally extendable from a travel position to a supporting position. The vertically extendable supporting legs are arranged on respective outer ends of the supporting struts. The supporting legs support the mobile large manipulator via respective supporting forces of the supporting legs. The supporting aid is configured to determine supporting forces for the respective supporting legs based, at least in part, on the supporting position of the supporting struts in which the chassis of the large manipulator is deployed unstressed in a support state.
