20080298893 | Vibration Plate with Stabilizing Device - A vibration plate with a top mass and a bottom mass has, in addition to a spring device, a stabilizing device with which the bottom mass can be guided during its movement relative to the top mass. The stabilizing device has a transverse stabilizer which prevents tilting between the top mass and the bottom mass. The stabilizing device may likewise be formed by one or more Panhard rods, which prevent a transverse displacement between the top mass and the bottom mass. | 12-04-2008 |
20080314608 | Linearly Driven and Air-Cooled Boring and/or Percussion Hammer - A boring and/or percussion hammer comprises an electrodynamic linear drive and a pneumatically damped percussion mechanism which is provided with a drive piston driven by the linear drive during the reciprocating movement thereof, an impact piston and a pneumatic spring arranged between the drive and impact pistons. An air-supply device comprises a pumping element, which is linearly forth and back movable for generating airflow. The pumping element is connected to the drive piston in such a way that the movement thereof is transmitted to said pumping element, thereby the cooling air is transported by an air channel for cooling heat generated elements. | 12-25-2008 |
20090166050 | Method and Device for Measuring Soil Parameters by Means of Compaction Machines - A soil compaction device has a vibrated contact element that makes contact with the soil during a contact phase and that is exposed to a contact force exerted by the soil and travels over a contact distance. A dynamic stiffness of the soil is formed from the gradient of the contact force and from the contact distance. Furthermore, a contact surface parameter to take account of the actual contact surface of the contact element with the soil is determined. The dynamic deformation modulus is then the product of the contact surface parameter and the dynamic stiffness. The method allows the determination of the dynamic deformation modulus, and hence of the soil stiffness, during the compaction operation. | 07-02-2009 |
20100139424 | VIBRATOR FOR A GROUND COMPACTING APPARATUS - A vibrator for a ground compaction apparatus includes two parallel shafts which are coupled to one another be rotatable in opposite directions and on each of which is at least one unbalanced mass is disposed. A phase adjusting mechanism is used for modifying the phase angle of the two unbalanced masses relative to each other. In order to do so, the actual phase angle of the two unbalanced masses is detected with the help of proximity sensors or the like. A regulating device compares the actual phase angle with a desired phase angle that is predefined by the operator and controls the phase adjusting mechanism in such a way that the difference between the actual phase angle and the desired phase angle is minimal. | 06-10-2010 |
20100166499 | Vibrating Plate with Individually Adjustable Vibration Generators - A vibrating plate comprises an upper mass with a drive, a lower mass with a soil contact plate ( | 07-01-2010 |
20100199774 | Vibrating Plate with Unbalanced Shafts Arranged at an Angle - A vibrating plate for compacting soil comprises an upper mass; a lower mass, which is elastically coupled to the upper mass and which has at least one soil contact plate, and; a vibration generator device that acts upon the soil contact plate. The vibration generator device comprises at least four unbalanced masses that can each be rotationally driven about a rotation axis, the rotation axis of at least two of the unbalanced masses being arranged at an angle to the rotation axes of the other unbalanced masses. One of the unbalanced masses depicts a reference unbalanced mass that does not require its own phase adjusting device. On the other hand, a separate phase adjusting device is assigned to each of the other unbalanced masses, enabling the phase position of these unbalanced masses to be individually adjusted with regard to the reference unbalanced mass. | 08-12-2010 |
20100236802 | Percussive Mechanism with an Electrodynamic Linear Drive - A percussive mechanism, which is provided in the form of an, e.g. pneumatic spring percussive mechanism, comprises an electrodynamic linear drive, a drive piston, which can be reciprocally moved inside a percussive mechanism housing by the linear drive, and a percussive piston. An additional hollow space is provided in front of and/or behind the drive piston and can be isolated at least in part from the surrounding area so that a pneumatic spring can be created in the additional hollow space. The pneumatic spring slows the drive piston at its returning points and facilitates a returning motion without loading the electrodynamic linear drive. | 09-23-2010 |
20100278590 | VIBRATION PLATE HAVING BELT DRIVE HAVING MULTIPLE DEFLECTION - A vibration plate has an upper mass having a drive and a lower mass which is mounted so it is elastically moveable relative to the upper mass. The lower mass has a vibration generator and a ground contact plate. The drive is coupled by a belt drive to the vibration generator. The belt drive has a drive disk which is provided on the drive, an output disk which is provided on the vibration generator, and a belt which circulates between the drive disk and the output disk. To this end, at least two further deflection rollers are provided for guiding the belt. | 11-04-2010 |
20100303546 | Soil Compacting Device with Automatic or Operator-Intuitive Adjustment of the Advance Vector - A vibrating plate comprises a vibration generator device, which can be controlled in such a manner that the direction of the action of force can be set at a number of locations, particularly in more than two locations. In addition, an advance adjusting device is provided for controlling the vibration generator device whereby the direction of the action of force is set in a position in which a maximum possible advance of the vibrating plate is reached. The direction of the action of force can be changed according to a change in the surroundings of the vibrating plate, particularly to the slope and/or the hardness of a subsoil to be compacted by a soil contact plate. Alternatively, the direction of the action of force can be changed according to the wishes of the operator. | 12-02-2010 |
20110180287 | IMPLEMENT HAVING A HYBRID DRIVE - An implement has an internal combustion engine and a hydraulic system that can be driven by the internal combustion engine for bringing about a working movement. Furthermore, an energy accumulator is provided for the storage of energy in an accumulation phase in which the output delivered by the internal combustion engine is greater than the output currently required by the hydraulic system, and for the delivery of energy in a discharge phase in which the output delivered by the internal combustion engine is smaller than the output currently required by the hydraulic system. The energy accumulator thus serves for balancing output peaks and valleys such that the internal combustion engine may always be operated within an optimum range of rotational speeds. | 07-28-2011 |
20130098650 | PERCUSSION TOOL HAVING COOLING OF EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS - A percussion tool has a cooling air channel for guiding a cooling air flow from a cooling air fan to an outside wall of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine. The cooling air channel is tapered to the extent that partial cooling air flows guided between the respective cooling fins are branched off the main cooling air flow. In such a way, the flow rate of the cooling air flow in the cooling air channel remains substantially constant, resulting in optimized engine cooling. The cooling air channel may be divided into two cooling air channels downstream of the cylinder. One of the cooling air channels guides cooling air to an exhaust gas system of the internal combustion engine, while the other cooling air channel guides cooling air to an outside wall of the guide housing of a hammer mechanism. | 04-25-2013 |
