  • Patent number: 10876628
    Abstract: An electric drive assembly comprises a parking lock housing, a sleeve-shaped shaft journal supported in the parking lock housing so as to be rotatable around a rotational axis, wherein the shaft journal comprises a connecting profile for connection to the driveshaft of the electric drive assembly in a rotationally fixed way; a ratchet wheel connected to the shaft journal in a rotationally fixed way and received in a receiving space between the base portion and the cover portion; a locking element movably supported in the parking lock housing and that can be transferred into a locking position for blocking the ratchet wheel and into a releasing position for releasing the ratchet wheel; and a controllable actuator for actuating the locking element; wherein an inner diameter of the parking lock housing in the region of the ratchet wheel substantially corresponds to a greatest outer diameter of the ratchet wheel.

  • Patent number: 10329725
    Abstract: A snow groomer having a frame; an attachment connected movably to the frame; a hydraulic assembly having an actuator configured to position the attachment, and a valve configured to control the actuator; a variable-flow pump configured to supply the hydraulic assembly; and a control system configured to calculate the total flow rate demand of the hydraulic assembly, and configured to control the variable-flow pump as a function of the total flow rate demand, so delivery by the variable-flow pump equals the total flow rate demand.

  • Patent number: 8701312
    Abstract: A hitch device for connecting a groomer vehicle having a first frame extending along a first axis, and an implement, in particular a rotary snow tiller, for grooming the snow covering of ski slopes and having a second frame extending crosswise to and symmetrically with respect to a second axis. The hitch device has an arm hinged to the first frame about a third axis perpendicular to the first axis, and about a fourth axis perpendicular to the first and third axis; a first actuator for adjusting the position of the arm about the third axis with respect to the first frame to lift and lower the implement; at least one second actuator for adjusting the position of the arm about the fourth axis with respect to the first frame; a movable coupling movable between the arm and one of the first and second frame; and a third actuator for adjusting the position of the arm in a plane crosswise to the fourth axis.
