Tank system
A tank system for a construction machine includes a fuel tank having an outer tank wall that closes off a tank volume to the outside, a withdrawal tank volume, which is separated by a partition wall from a main tank volume of the tank volume and has a fuel-exchanging connection to the main tank volume, and a fuel withdrawal arrangement having a main fuel pump and a withdrawal line opening into the withdrawal tank volume for conveying fuel by the main fuel pump via the withdrawal line from the withdrawal tank volume to a fuel-consuming system region. The tank system also includes a fuel feed arrangement having an auxiliary fuel pump for conveying fuel from the main tank volume into the withdrawal tank volume.
LINER PLATE FOR WORK MACHINE
A liner plate for a work machine has a frame with a frame surface and an axle opening, and a guard member at least partially disposed above the axle opening. The guard member has a lower face, a region of the frame surface and a region of the lower face define a volume. The liner plate includes a body portion defining an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The body portion defines a first side surface and a second side surface. The body portion is adapted to be coupled to the frame surface proximate the first side surface. The body portion is adapted to be coupled to the guard member proximate the second side surface. Further, upon coupling of the body portion to the frame surface and the guard member, the body portion prevents at least some debris from entering the volume.
Wheel guard for compactor wheel
A wheel guard includes a guard member disposed on a compactor wheel. The guard member has a first side having a first portion and a second portion. The second portion is offset from the first portion such that to define a first stepped recess therein. The guard member has a second side disposed opposite to the first side. The first portion has a first cross-sectional thickness and the second portion has a second cross-sectional thickness such that the second cross-sectional thickness is lesser than the first cross-sectional thickness. The guard member has a first top surface defined by the first portion, and a second top surface defined by the second portion and partially by the first portion. The second top surface is offset from the first top surface such that to define a second stepped recess therein. The wheel guard includes a base plate and a wear pad coupled thereto.
SOIL PROCESSING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A SOIL PROCESSING MACHINE
A soil processing machine, in particular a soil compactor, includes a hydraulic steering system with at least one steering element actuated with pressurized fluid and an electrohydraulic pressurized fluid source with at least one steering pressurized fluid pump that can be driven by at least one electric motor for feeding pressurized fluid into a steering pressurized fluid circuit.
SOIL PROCESSING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A SOIL PROCESSING MACHINE
A soil processing machine, in particular a soil compactor, includes at least one drive roller and an electrohydraulic drive system for driving at least one drive roller. The drive system has a traction hydraulic circuit having at least one hydraulic motor and at least one hydraulic pump. The circuit includes a first line region between a first connection fitting of the at least one hydraulic pump and a first connection fitting of each hydraulic motor to drive the at least one drive roller in a first rotatable direction and a second line region between a second connection fitting of the at least one hydraulic pump and a second connection fitting of each hydraulic motor to drive the at least one drive roller in a second, opposite rotatable direction. A valve assembly is provided with each line region for selectively interrupting and releasing a fluid flow connection between the at least one hydraulic pump and at least one hydraulic motor.
CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEFINING AND GENERATING COMPACTOR WORK AREA
A control system for a compactor is disclosed. The control system can include any one or combination of one or more position sensors, a steering system, a control interface and a controller. The controller can be in communication with at least the control interface and the one or more position sensors. The controller can be configured to receive data recording a position of the compactor when physically operating the compactor along at least a portion of the desired boundary of a compaction area, determine from the data a virtual boundary of the compaction area corresponding to the position of the compactor when physically operating the compactor along the desired boundary of the compaction area, and generate at least a first work plan for operating the compactor to compact in the compaction area up to the virtual boundary.
SOIL PROCESSING MACHINE
A soil processing machine, in particular a soil compactor, comprises a machine frame and a casing (26, 28) carried on the machine frame and/or at least partially providing it and bounding a unit receptacle space (24), wherein the casing (26, 28) has a cooling air inlet area (30) and a cooling air outlet area (32) for cooling air flowing through the unit receptacle space (24), wherein a plurality of units around which cooling air can flow through the unit receptacle space (24) from the cooling air inlet area (30) to the cooling air outlet area (32) are arranged in the unit receptacle space (24), wherein at least two of the units arranged in the unit receptacle space (24) have maximum permissible operating temperatures different from one another and at least one unit having higher maximum permissible operating temperature is arranged upstream in a cooling air flow direction from the cooling air inlet area (30) to the cooling air outlet area (32) with respect to at least one unit having lower maximum permissible operating temperature.
SOIL-COMPACTING MACHINE HAVING AN ELECTRIC MOTOR AND METHOD FOR OPERATION
The present invention relates to a ground compaction machine for compacting a ground, in particular a tandem roller, a single-drum roller, a rubber-wheeled roller or a trench roller, comprising a machine frame, at least one travel unit with a wheel or a roller drum, a travel drive for driving the travel unit, and a steering drive for adjusting the traveling direction of the ground compaction machine, the ground compaction machine comprising at least one electric motor. The present invention also relates to a method for operating a ground compaction machine.
GUARD FOR COMPACTOR VEHICLE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
A guard for a compactor vehicle that includes a base and a cap. The base comprises a body and a retention feature. The body defines an underside, configured to engage a wheel of the compactor vehicle, and an opposing cap-facing side. The cap comprises an outer surface and a retention feature. The outer surface defines a compaction surface. The retention features of the base and cap interlock with one another to secure the cap to the base. A cavity is defined in the underside of the base.
