  • Patent number: 11267350
    Abstract: A line supply arrangement for electrically powered motor vehicles includes an electric line on a support arm above the motor vehicle. A trolley on the support arm positions the electric line such that a free end thereof hangs down from the trolley for connection to the motor vehicle and charging of an energy store. The trolley is movable relative to the support arm in horizontal direction or the support arm is movable and the trolley relative to the support arm in horizontal direction. Arranged on the trolley is a line reel to lower the free end of the electric line to the motor vehicle, and a hose reel is fixed on the support arm for supply and discharge of cooling liquid to and from the electric line. The trolley is movable relative to the hose reel. A heat exchanger is arranged distal to the trolley for cooling the cooling liquid.

  • Publication number: 20120091410
    Abstract: In a method of operating a winding drum, in particular of cranes, for a line to be reeled in or paid out, a hydraulic motor is activated by a control block which has a hydraulic valve assembly comprised of two pressure control valves respectively arranged in a feed line and a return flow line, for operating the winding drum. The pressure control valves are provided to set a pressure differential on the hydraulic motor in order to maintain a defined tautness of the line being reeled in or paid out.
