  • Publication number: 20230150351
    Abstract: The invention relates to a self-propelled construction machine, in particular a road milling machine, stabiliser, recycler or surface miner, which has a machine frame 2 supported by at least three running gears 10A, 10B, 11A, 11B, a drive device 14 for driving at least two running gears, and a work roller 4 arranged on the machine frame. The invention also relates to a method for controlling a construction machine of this kind. The drive device 14 comprises adjustable hydraulic motors 15, 16, 17, 18 associated with the drivable running gears, which hydraulic motors have a displacement volume Vg that can be varied by an adjusting device 15A, 16A, 17A, 18A, and comprises at least one adjustable travel drive—hydraulic pump 19 driven by at least one drive motor to supply the hydraulic motors with a variable total volume flow Q of hydraulic fluid.

  • Patent number: 6565281
    Abstract: A device for working road surfaces comprising an automotive running gear (2) with a working roll (4) enclosed by a cover (8) forming a working chamber (6), and a drive motor for providing the power required for driving the working roll (4) and the travel, it is provided that a plurality of adjacent mixing components with foam outlet nozzles (14) for producing foamed bitumen are arranged in an upper portion of the cover (8), hot bitumen supplied from a bitumen reservoir via supply lines (16, 42) and a bitumen injection nozzle (18) together with water supplied from a water reservoir via a water injection nozzle (22) may be mixed under pressure in an expansion chamber (26) of the mixing components, and that the spray jet of foamed bitumen leaving the foam outlet nozzles (14) is directed into the working chamber (6) and becomes mixed into the construction material mixture granulated by the working roll (4).
