Vehicle to project concrete, including a truck provided with a main motor to move the truck using a movement unit, a unit to project the concrete equipped with a pumping device configured to feed the concrete along a pipe, where the vehicle includes a unit to generate and feed electric energy configured to selectively feed one or more of either the movement unit of the truck, the concrete projection unit and the pumping device.

A device for fabricating structures of large dimensions, layer by layer.

The invention relates to a device making use of positioning an extrusion head in three dimensions by means of cables in order to deposit a pasty material continuously in thin layers, e.g. a mortar comprising either a hydraulic binder or thermoplastic compounds or thermosetting compounds or curable compounds.

The invention is for making industrial elements of very large dimensions, and more particularly for making buildings.

Segment of an articulated arm made of composite material, with an elongated shape defining a longitudinal axis, and having a box-like cross section. The segment includes a first end portion, configured for the pivoting of a further segment, a second intermediate portion configured for the pivoting of an actuation member, and a third end portion. The first, second and third portions are made in a single body. The second intermediate portion includes a protruding zone defined by a first side and by a second side converging with respect to each other to define a top. Pivoting elements are provided in the protruding zone for the pivoting of the actuation member between the protruding zone and the first end portion. The first and the second side defining the protruding zone are filleted to substantially rectilinear adjacent tracts of the first and third end portions.

A mast arm for a concrete distributor mast comprises an elongated box profile support composed, in at least some sections, of a lower belt, an upper belt, and two lateral walls that connect the belts, and comprising at least one partition sheet metal element arranged in a hollow cross-section of the box profile support, the partition sheet metal element being welded to the box profile support along longitudinal welding joints running along the box profile support.

An inventive boom arm for a concrete-distributing boom. The boom arm has an elongate box-profile support formed from two flanges and two webs connecting the flanges laterally. The boom arm has first and second articulation points spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the boom arm. A first flange opening is disposed at the first articulation point and a second flange opening is disposed at the second articulation point. A sealing-partition seals a cavity region of the box-profile support at least in a region of the first and second flange openings. The sealing partition can be provided in the form of a plate that continuously spans the cavity region between the first and second articulation points and is connected laterally to the webs. The first articulation point is located at the end of the boom arm and is arranged within the cavity region and is covered by the partition plate.

An electrohydraulic control circuit for driving a hydraulically actuated actuating element (5, 6), by means of which a segment (5.3) of a manipulator, in particular of a large manipulator for truck-mounted concrete pumps, can be adjusted in terms of its orientation, wherein there are provided an electrically driven first valve (2.4), which is connected to hydraulic working lines of the actuating element (5.6) for the drive thereof, and leak-free check valves (2.5, 2.6) provided in the working lines of the actuating element (5.6), which valves are arranged on the actuating element (5.6) or on the segment (5.3) associated with this actuating element (5.6) and can be released for the normal operation of the actuating element (5.6), wherein the release of the check valves (2.5, 2.6) is driven by an electronic control unit (ECU) separate from the first valve (2.4) and the check valves (2.5, 2.6).

A boom for a working machine, in particular a concrete-distributing boom for guiding a concrete delivery line, with a plurality of boom arms which can be moved into a working position and which are composed at least partially as a box construction of a plurality of side walls delimiting a cavity region, and with a sealing bulkhead arrangement for sealing a cross section of the cavity region, wherein the sealing bulkhead arrangement has a bulkhead wall provided peripherally with an at least partially encircling sealing groove, and wherein the sealing groove has arranged therein an elastic seal which bears tightly on the inside against the adjoining side walls.

An articulated boom includes a plurality of boom segments connected together via articulated joints. At least one of the boom segments includes a welded structure providing a box profile in which an upper flange and a lower flange are connected together by lateral web plates. At least one of the web plates, the upper flange, and the lower flange includes at least one reinforcing distortion.

An apparatus for the output of a fluid process material, in particular a process material in the form of concrete, mortar or adhesive, has a distributor boom comprising a plurality of boom arms, connected to each other at joints, having a process material delivery line formed by a plurality of pipe segments, which are preferably joint-connected to each other by pipe bends and rotating couplings. The delivery line is guided along the individual boom arms and fixed thereto. A tool, which is received on the distributor boom, has a device for the output of the process material. The tool has a buffer vessel, which receives the process material from the process material delivery line, and an output element for the output of the process material, fed from the buffer vessel, at an output location.

A device that compensates for abrupt variations in fluid flow rate for a pump line is described. One or more aspects pertain to a system to accomplish automated in-situ placement of a concrete wall or embankment, where a fluid concrete is pumped into place, consolidated, and screeded to a finished surface, with remotely controlled or automated equipment.
