  • Device for displacing a revolving structure on a chassis and vehicle, e.g. a digger, having said revolving structure displacement
    Patent number: 7140829
    Abstract: The operating pressure for the hydraulic drive means (15; 26) is generated in the chassis (2) of the vehicle (1). A revolving structure (3) is arranged on the chassis, said revolving structure carrying the driver's cabin (7), a boom (5) with a tools (6) and a hydraulic motor for rotation of the revolving structure (3) relative to the chassis. The revolving structure is connected to the chassis by a live ring (16;23) that is driven by said hydraulic motor and has a hydraulic fluid duct (12;24) between the chassis and the revolving structure. The chassis is provided with an eccentric plate (11) carrying on its top side the above-mentioned live ring for the revolving structure while the bottom side of said eccentric plate has an eccentrically supported displacement bearing (13). Said displacement bearing is secured by a latching device (25) on the bottom side of the eccentric plate (11) during normal operation of the vehicle or digger (1).
