  • Patent number: 10704213
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling a height adjustment of a stripping plate of a ground milling machine, in particular a stripping plate of a cold milling machine, during the working process, said method comprising the following steps of detecting the striking of the stripping plate against an obstacle; automatically triggering the height adjustment unit for lifting the stripping plate from a working position, in which the stripping plate is in contact with the underlying ground to be processed, to avoid a further collision with the obstacle; and automatically triggering the height adjustment unit for lowering the stripping plate back to the working position upon overcoming the obstacle.

  • Patent number: 10556579
    Abstract: A drive apparatus in a self-propelled construction machine comprises a milling rotor and a main drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor via an engaging and disengaging clutch, and an auxiliary drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor alternatively to the main drive. The clutch is provided with a fixed side and an axially displaceable output side, which is displaceable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The axially displaceable side is simultaneously also the engaging and disengaging part of a shiftable transmission, the fixed part of which is driven by the auxiliary drive, with the transmission and the clutch being engaged and disengaged in a selective fashion via the axially displaceable side of the clutch.

  • Patent number: 10465346
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for positioning a milling drum box of a ground milling machine, in particular of a road milling machine, a recycler or a stabilizer, arranged on a machine frame relative to the ground, comprising the steps of: detecting the presence or absence of a ground contact, in particular in a region located in the front or a region located in the rear in the working direction (a), of at least one side plate of the milling drum box of the ground milling machine, and controlling a lifting and/or a lowering of the machine frame depending on the detected presence or absence of a ground contact. The present invention also relates to a ground milling machine for carrying out the method.
