  • Patent number: 9068366
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile work machine having a chassis (10) and with two front and two rear support brackets (20, 22). The support brackets can be displaced from a driving position close to the chassis into a support position by changing the base angles (?) thereof and/or can be telescoped by changing the lengths thereof between the end on the mounting side and that on the free end. In order to be able to automatically determine the support leg positions (Xc/Yc) in relation to the chassis (10), three transceiver units (S1/E1, S2/E2, S3/E3) related to the support legs are provided for transmitting and receiving run time or distance signals. Furthermore, a microprocessor-supported evaluation unit responding to the transmitted and received signals of the transceiver units arranged in pairs is provided, comprising a software routine for determining the support leg positions in a coordinate system (x/y) fixed to the chassis.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7401466
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic drive, especially for two-cylinder thick matter pumps. Said hydraulic drive comprises at least one main pump (10) embodied as a hydraulic variable displacement pump, and two hydraulically actuatable drive cylinders (20, 22) that are each connected to a connection line (16, 18) of the main pump (10) by means of pump connections mounted on one end thereof, forming a closed hydraulic circuit, and communicate with each other at the ends thereof opposing the pump connections (24, 26) by means of a swinging oil line (28). The hydraulic drive also comprises a feed pump (42), by which means pressurized oil is fed from an oil tank to the current low-pressure side into the hydraulic circuit, and a flushing branch (52), by which means a flushing oil flow is branched off from the current low-pressure side under a limited pressure into the oil tank (44).
