The invention relates to an automotive construction machine, in particular a road milling machine, recycler or surface miner, and to a method for displaying an image of the surroundings of an automotive construction machine. The construction machine according to the invention has an image display device for displaying a bird's eye view image of the surroundings of the construction machine, which image display device has a camera system with a plurality of cameras provided on the machine frame for recording individual overlapping image regions of the construction machine surroundings from different image recording positions, and an image processing system. The image processing system is configured in such a way that image details of the individual image regions are joined together to form a total image from a bird's eye view. For this purpose, the construction machine has a position detection device, which detects the height and/or the incline of the machine frame in relation to the ground surface and cooperates with the position detection device in such a way that when the image details of the individual image regions are joined together to form a total image from a bird's eye view, the course of the stitching which is located between the image details and within the overlapping regions of the image regions is determined depending on the height and/or the incline of the machine frame in relation to the ground surface.

The retainer device comprises at least one supporting arm module, at least one sensor module including the sensor unit, and at least one link that may be movably positioned at the supporting arm module to which the sensor module may be mounted and which mounts the sensor module to the supporting arm module. Furthermore, the sensor module comprises a retainer with a mounting plate which is releasably mounted to the link.

A method for controlling the elevation of a retaining device of a ground milling machine as well as to a ground milling machine. Essential for the invention is that the retaining device is held in an initial position at a distance from the underlying ground and is reset from a yield position.

The present invention relates to a road paver, particularly a small road paver, for paving a subbase layer in a working direction (a), with a machine frame, a traveling mechanism, a material hopper for receiving paving material, a paving screed for smoothing and compacting the paving material, a transverse distribution device for distributing paving material in the working direction (a) in front of the paving screed and transversely to the working direction (a), the transverse distribution device being supported at the machine frame via a support housing, and a height adjustment device for vertical adjustment of the transverse distribution device relative to the machine frame, wherein the support housing is supported at the machine frame such that it is height-adjustable via a quick coupling apparatus, wherein the quick coupling apparatus comprises at least one oblong hole with an expanded insertion portion and a sliding device, wherein the sliding device can be inserted into the oblong hole through the expanded insertion portion, and wherein the sliding device in the inserted state slides in the region of the oblong hole outside the expanded insertion portion during vertical adjustment of the transverse distribution device through the height adjustment device, and wherein the sliding device is supported in a form-closed manner in a direction perpendicular to the height adjustment in this region. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for mounting a transverse distribution device on a road paver.

The disclosure relates to a road finisher with an undercarriage with two traction tracks. The road finisher further comprises a chassis, a hopper, mounted on the chassis at the front of the road finisher with respect to a paving direction, for receiving paving material, and a paving screed, provided on the rear of the road finisher with respect to the paving direction, for compacting the paving material. This paving screed is attached to the chassis through pulling arms. The road finisher also comprises a lifting device which is designed to lift the chassis relative to the undercarriage at least in a rear region of the road finisher. The road finisher further comprises a material deflector, which can be pivoted relative to the chassis, and that is arranged between the two traction tracks.

A road finisher including an undercarriage, a chassis, a hopper, a paving screed, and a lifting device for lifting the chassis relative to the undercarriage at least in a rear region of the road finisher. The lifting device comprises a rocker mounted rotatably around an undercarriage rotational axis at an undercarriage-side bearing surface and rotatably around a chassis rotational axis at a chassis-side bearing surface. The lifting device further comprises a length-variable adjustment member connecting a chassis-side link point to a rocker-side link point and configured to change a distance between the chassis-side link point and the rocker-side link point by changing its length to selectively lift or lower the chassis relative to the undercarriage. A distance between the chassis rotation axis and the undercarriage rotation axis is greater than a distance between the chassis rotation axis and the chassis-side bearing surface.

A road finisher includes an undercarriage, a chassis which is adjustable in height relative to the undercarriage, an electronic control system, and a paving screed which is attached to tie bars, the tie bars each being hinged to the chassis at a pull point and the pull points each being adjustable relative to the chassis by means of a leveling cylinder. The control system comprises a receiving unit configured to detect an actual pull point height, an evaluation unit configured to calculate a deviation of the actual pull point height from a target pull point height caused by a height adjustment of the chassis relative to the undercarriage, and a command unit, which is configured to automatically at least partially correct the deviation by a correction signal sent from the command unit causing a hydraulic controller to adjust at least one of the leveling cylinders.

A road finisher includes an undercarriage, a chassis, a hopper, a paving screed, and a lifting device for lifting the chassis relative to the undercarriage at least in a rear region of the road finisher. A locking element can be moved by a locking element actuator between a locked state, in which the locking element mechanically locks the chassis at a predefined transport height relative to the undercarriage, and a release state, in which the mechanical locking of the chassis is released at the transport height.

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a height adjustment of a stripping plate of a ground milling machine, in particular a stripping plate of a cold milling machine, during the working process, said method comprising the following steps of detecting the striking of the stripping plate against an obstacle; automatically triggering the height adjustment unit for lifting the stripping plate from a working position, in which the stripping plate is in contact with the underlying ground to be processed, to avoid a further collision with the obstacle; and automatically triggering the height adjustment unit for lowering the stripping plate back to the working position upon overcoming the obstacle.

A rolling device includes a chassis equipped with a reservoir for holding bulk materials and a smoothing table, the smoothing table having a leading edge arranged transversely to the direction of movement of the device, and the bottom of the reservoir being provided with a discharge opening arranged between the leading edge of the smoothing table and the wheels of the rolling chassis of the device, the wheels of the rolling chassis being driven and the rolling chassis being mounted so as to be able to tip about the axis of rotation of the wheels, the reservoir and the smoothing table forming a movable assembly, and the position of the movable assembly can be adjusted by an adjustment unit so as to be able to adjust the height of the smoothing table and the discharge opening, and the inclination of the smoothing table.
