  • Patent number: 6887013
    Abstract: A device for treating soils or road surfaces includes a machine frame (1) carrying a working roll (4) in a working roll housing (8) defining a working space (6). The roll housing (8) is provided with a spraying mechanism (10) for binder or water having at least one outlet nozzle (12) opening directly into the working space (6). A controllable closing device (18) has a closing element (22) which, in an open position, unblocks the outlet nozzle (12) and in a first closed position, closes the outlet nozzle (12). The closing device (18) is capable of triggering an additional movement of the closing element (22) beyond the first closing position such that at a second closed position, material accumulations in and/or beyond the outlet nozzle (12) are removed.

  • Publication number: 20040146353
    Abstract: In a device for treating soils or road surfaces comprising a machine frame (1) at which a working roll (4) is arranged below a roll housing (8) defining the working space (6), with the roll housing (8) being provided with a spraying means (10) for a binder or water having at least one outlet nozzle (12) directed into the working space (6), it is provided that the at least one outlet nozzle (12) comprises a controllable closing means (18) having a closing element (22) which, in an open position, unblocks the outlet nozzle (12) and, in a closed position, closes the outlet nozzle (12), and that the closing means (18) is capable of triggering an additional movement of the closing element (22) beyond the closing position such that material accumulations in and/or before the outlet nozzle (12) can be removed.

  • Publication number: 20040021364
    Abstract: In a construction machine 1 for the treatment of ground surfaces, comprising a chassis 2 carrying a machine frame 4, a drive motor 6, a work drum 8 supported on the machine frame 4 and having exchangeable tools 14 fastened to its outer surface 12, and a drive line 18 for the work drum 8 comprising at least the drive motor 6 and a transmission coupled to the drive motor 6, it is provided that an auxiliary drive 20, adapted to be coupled to the drive line 18, is arranged to rotate the work drum 8 in the raised condition of the drum by a predetermined or selectable rotational angle, the torque of the auxiliary drive 20 being higher than the moment of inertia of the work drum 8 and of the drive line 18 in the switched-off or decoupled state of the drive motor 6.

  • Patent number: 6457779
    Abstract: A device for milling off ground surfaces, especially roadways In a device for milling off ground surfaces (2), especially roadways, comprising a track assembly (4) supporting a machine frame (6), a rolling mill (8) supported in the machine frame (6) and extending transverse to the traveling direction, at least one conveying means (10) arranged in the traveling direction in front of the milling roll (8), for transporting away the milled off material, and a roll casing (18) with a passage opening (22) for the milled of material, facing the conveying means (10), it is provided that the end of the conveying means (10) at the milling roll is supported in a belt shoe (16) fixed at the machine frame (6) so as to be vertically adjustable, and wherein the belt shoe (16) and the conveying means (10) form a rigid unit that cannot be pivoted in relation to each other.

  • Patent number: 5893677
    Abstract: In a machine used to refurbish roads, having a driver's cab for one operator, an automotive running gear with two axles (4) and a working roller (8) that is mounted to pivot relative to the machine frame and that is enclosed in a hood (7) which defines a working chamber, and having a drive motor (9) with the necessary output to drive the working roller (8) and to power the vehicle's travel, the invention provides that a drive unit containing the working motor (9) is mounted in a pivoting frame (13) and forms a unit (2) that can be pivoted relative to the machine frame (1), that the working roller (8) is also mounted in the pivotable unit (2) and, together with the latter (2), can be pivoted relative to the hood (7), which has a fixed mounting to the machine frame (1), and that the working roller (8) is directly weighted by the unit (2), virtually the entire machine weight being concentrated between the running gear axles (4) and transferred to the pivotable unit (2).
