摘要:
The invention provides a variable width material distribution apparatus (1) for use with an asphalt paving machine for distributing asphalt screed across a surface to be paved. The apparatus (1) comprises at least two auger support members (9), each auger support member positioned coaxially with each other and configured to engage with an adjacent auger support member (9) to form a combined support of variable length; and at least two auger slide sections (3) comprising an outboard auger slide section (3B) coupled to an outboard auger support section at an outboard end via a hanger, each auger slide section positioned coaxially with each other and configured to engage with an adjacent auger slide section to form a combined auger of variable length; such that extension or retraction of the auger support members (9) along a path of least resistance as the apparatus (1) moves over a surface to be paved causes a corresponding extension or retraction of the auger slide sections (3) with respect to an adjacent auger slide section (3) and such that each auger slide section (3) is configured to maintain a continuous worm with respect to an adjacent auger slide section (3) when in an extended position in relation to one another.

A wheeled strike-off apparatus (10) is movable over a surface of uncured concrete or subgrade materials and is operable to establish a desired grade of the uncured concrete surface or subgrade surface. The apparatus includes a wheeled support (12) and a plow assembly (14). The wheeled support may have a front frame portion (212a) and a pair of front wheels (224) rotatably mounted at the front frame portion, and may have a rear frame portion (212b) and a pair of rear wheels (226) rotatably mounted at the rear frame portion. The plow assembly may be adjustably mounted to the front frame portion and may be vertically adjustable relative to the frame portion via an actuator (230). The plow assembly includes at least one plow member (218) for engaging and establishing the desired grade.
摘要:
A controller for controlling the slope of a screed supported by support arms wherein the screed is moved over a distance includes a first slope sensor (61) which develops a first sensor signal representing the slope of the screed, a second slope sensor (62) which develops a second sensor signal representing the slope of the support arms and a first summer (70) which sums the first sensor signal and command signal indicative of a particular screed slope to develop a first error signal. An integrator (84) integrates the error signal over distance to develop an integrated first error signal. A second summer (92) sums the integrated first error signal with the second sensor signal to develop a second error signal which is utilized to control actuators (106, 22a, 22b) which adjust the slope of the support arms.
