A 3D printing system for 3D printing of concrete buildings or other concrete structures. A set of cable support masts are temporarily installed at corners of a two-dimensional footprint area of any given level of a multi-level building to enable 3D printing of wall sections or other structural components of that given level of the building using a cable-guided concrete dispensing nozzle suspended from said cable support masts by a set of movable, motor-driven positioning cables. The building is built in stage-wise fashion, level-by-level, with the set of support masts being moved up level-by-level as the levels of the building are completed. The construction of the building is not dependent on a set of ground-level towers distributed around the ground-level footprint of the building, thus notably reducing equipment requirements for the 3D printed construction of tall, multi-storey buildings.

The disclosure relates to a receiving device for depositing a slinging means on a distribution mast, wherein the slinging means is designed for lifting and transporting the distribution mast and wherein the slinging means has two carrying ends. For example, the disclosure is characterized in that the receiving device is designed for receiving in a length-variable manner at least one of the carrying ends of the slinging means.

In addition, the disclosure relates to a distribution mast with a receiving device for depositing a slinging means which is designed for lifting and transporting the distribution mast.

A device for a distribution mast includes a line and a line section mounting. The line has a mast line section and a loose rotational line section, and the rotational line section is rotatably connected to the mast line section. The line section mounting has a loose rotational holding element and a rotary bearing, and the rotational holding element keeps the rotational line section at a distance from the mast line section. The rotary bearing is designed to be supported by a mast segment for the distribution mast and for rotatably connecting the rotational holding element to the mast segment and defines a circle, the line being guided through the circle.

An articulated boom of a large manipulator includes a plurality of boom segments connected to one another via articulated joints. At least one of the boom segments has a welded assembly forming a box profile in which an upper belt and a lower belt are connected to one another via lateral web plates. At least one of the web plates, the upper belt, and/or the lower belt is formed at least by one sheet metal section, which has at least one bending running essentially in a longitudinal direction of the boom segment. The at least one bending ends at a distance from an end of the sheet metal section so that the end of the sheet metal section is unbent.

The supporting structure for a mobile concrete pump for connecting a distribution boom includes two support leg boxes that cross each other diagonally, and a boom pedestal attached thereto having a turret that has an opening that is surrounded at its one end at least partially by a pivot mount receptacle for a pivot bearing for pivoting the distribution boom of the concrete pump with respect to the turret. Part of the wall of the turret is formed by a side wall of the supporting leg boxes that cross each other, wherein the side walls of the supporting leg boxes are, in a first region in which same form part of the wall of the turret, free of joining points such that loads introduced via the turret directly into the side walls are distributed beyond the first region without shear load of a joining point in the side walls.

A drive apparatus for a mobile operating machine, comprising at least one internal combustion motor, an articulated arm to deliver concrete and a pumping unit to pump the concrete from the drum to the articulated arm. The drive apparatus comprises hydraulic pumps configured to pump a working fluid and to determine the drive of the pumping unit and of the articulated arm. The apparatus also comprises at least one electromechanical machine connected to the internal combustion motor, to the hydraulic pumps, and to an electric accumulator.

The invention relates to an end hose holder (20) for distributor booms (2) of concrete pumps (1), to a concrete pump (1) with corresponding end hose holder (20) and to a method for assembly thereof. The end hose holder (20) is used for the selective provision of an attachment point for an end hose (6′) and comprises a foot shell coupling (21), which is fastened by way of its foot (23) to a support element (24), for the rotary pipe connection of two concrete line segments (11, 14), the support element (24) having a flange (26) which is configured for the coupling connection to a concrete line segment (11, 14), the relative position of which flange in relation to the foot shell coupling (21) corresponds to a predetermined concrete line segment (11, 14).

A vehicle-mounted concrete pump includes: a concrete pump system designed to convey concrete; a hydraulic drive pump system which is designed to drive the concrete pump system and comprises a hydraulic pump drive shaft; a combustion drive motor system designed to drive the hydraulic pump drive shaft of the hydraulic drive pump system; and a liquid-cooled synchronous drive motor which is designed to drive the hydraulic pump drive shaft of the hydraulic drive pump system.

A method controls the movement of a boom, wherein the boom is moved by a plurality of hydraulic drives. Each hydraulic drive is fed with a hydraulic medium, the pressure and/or volume flow of which is adjustable. The method predefines a desired direction of movement and a desired speed of a boom tip; predictively calculates a pressure and/or a volume flow required for each of the hydraulic drives that are required for the desired direction of movement and desired speed; subsequently generates a supply pressure depending on the predictively calculated pressures and/or subsequently generating a supply volume flow as a function of the predictively calculated volume flows; and subsequently feeds the hydraulic drives required for the desired direction of movement and desired speed with the hydraulic medium having a respective feed pressure and/or a respective feed volume flow such that the boom tip moves in the desired direction of movement at the desired speed.

A large manipulator includes a chassis, a turntable arranged on the chassis and rotatable around a vertical axis via a rotary drive, and an articulated mast including two or more mast segments pivotably-movably connected, via articulated joints, with the respectively adjacent turntable or mast segment via a respective drive. The large manipulator further includes a mast sensor system configured to detect position of at least one point of the articulated mast or a pivot angle of at least one articulated joint and configured to generate sensor output signals. The large manipulator further includes a control device configured to actuate the drive in a normal operation for mast movement and to limit speed of movement of the articulated mast depending upon the sensor output signals. The drive is manually controllable in an emergency operation. The large manipulator further includes at least one limiting means, which, in the emergency operation, limit speed of the drive to a pre-specified maximum value.
