  • 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: 10227739
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining and monitoring the mass of the milled material removed by a ground milling machine, comprising mounting a discharge belt on the ground milling machine via a pivot bearing and a tensile connection in such a manner that it can pivot at least about a horizontal axis, determining a tensile force (Fz) exerted by the discharge belt to the tensile connection, calculating a mass flow (qm) of the milled material removed by the ground milling machine from the measured tensile force (Fz) and the conveying speed of the discharge belt, and calculating the loaded mass of the milled material removed by the ground milling machine from the mass flow (qm) and the loading time (t).

  • Patent number: 10018041
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool device for a ground milling machine, particularly a road milling machine, a recycler, a stabilizer or a surface miner. The tool device comprises a milling chisel with a highly wear-resistant chisel tip, particularly comprising PCD material, and a chisel shaft extending along a longitudinal axis, and a chisel holder with a shaft receptacle, the chisel shaft of the milling chisel having at least one tapering section narrowing in a direction away from the chisel tip. Furthermore, a fastening device is provided, which is designed in such a way that it pulls the milling chisel along its longitudinal axis and in the direction away from the chisel tip into the shaft receptacle, the shaft receptacle of the chisel holder being designed complementary to the chisel shaft of the milling chisel in such a way that the tapering section, when braced by the fastening device, bears against the chisel holder in the shaft receptacle in a frictionally locking manner shaft receptacle.
