20220333318 · 2022-10-20 · ·

Disclosed are a material conveying control method, a system and an apparatus for a milling planer, and a milling planer. The material conveying control method for the milling planer includes: acquiring a height adjustment displacement of a material receiver of the milling planer in a floating state; and controlling, according to the height adjustment displacement, a lifting height of the material receiver and a travelling speed of the milling planer, so as to control a material conveying amount of the milling planer. By controlling the lifting height of the material receiver and the travelling speed of the milling planer at the same time, a variation of a milling volume is reduced, thereby reducing an influence of spilled waste on the material conveying amount of the milling planer.

HAMMER BUSHINGS WITH SOFTENED OUTER REGION

An example bushing of a hydraulic hammer tool includes an outer region and an inner region. The inner region has a relatively greater hardness than the outer region. The inner region may also be compressively stressed, while the outer region may have tensile stress. The stress and/or hardness profile of the bushing may enhance its resistance to wear and galling defects when a hammer of the hydraulic hammer tool is held in alignment by the bushing. The outer region of the bushing may be relatively soft, resulting in the bushing having a relatively high level of toughness. The bushing may be formed using medium to high carbon steel by rough forming the bushing, hardening the bushing, tempering the bushing, and induction softening the outer region of the bushing.
