Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Straßenfertiger oder einen Beschicker.The present invention relates to a road paver or a feeder.
Im Straßenbau werden Straßenfertiger und Beschickerfahrzeuge zur Herstellung von Flächenbefestigungen eingesetzt. Bekannte Straßenfertiger und Beschickerfahrzeuge besitzen als Antrieb einen Verbrennungsmotor. Die Abgase des Verbrennungsmotors werden in bekannter Weise durch ein langes Abgasendrohr in der Höhe des Fahrerdaches ausgeblasen, um die Abgase vom Bedienpersonal fern zu halten. Normalerweise ist das Abgasendrohr auf einem Schalldämpfer angeordnet und ist zusammen mit dem Schalldämpfer auf der Motorhaube vor dem Bedienstand vertikal befestigt.In road construction, pavers and material feeders are used to create paved surfaces. Commonly used pavers and material feeders are powered by an internal combustion engine. The exhaust gases from the engine are expelled through a long exhaust pipe at the height of the driver's cab to keep them away from the operator. The exhaust pipe is typically mounted on a muffler, which, along with the muffler, is vertically attached to the engine hood in front of the operator's platform.
Problematisch dabei ist, dass das Abgasendrohr sowie der damit verbundene Schall-dämpfer die Sicht des auf dem Bedienstand befindlichen Bedienpersonals einschränken. Außerdem ist das nach außen gerichtete Abgasendrohr sowie der nach außen gerichtete Schalldämpfer jeglichen Wetterbedingungen ausgesetzt, wodurch es in der Praxis oft zu Beschädigungen des Abgasrohres und des Schalldämpfers wegen Rostbefall kommt.The problem is that the exhaust pipe and the associated silencer obstruct the view of the operator on the control panel. Furthermore, the outward-facing exhaust pipe and silencer are exposed to all weather conditions, which often leads to damage to the exhaust pipe and silencer due to rust.
Des Weiteren sind in der Praxis Straßenfertiger und Beschickerfahrzeuge bekannt, deren Abgasrohr aufsteckbar bzw. klappbar auf der Motorhaube der Baumaschine angeordnet ist. Folglich kann zum Transportieren des Straßenfertigers auf einem Tieflader das Endrohr abgenommen bzw. derartig zusammengeklappt werden, dass eine entsprechende Transporthöhe eingehalten wird.Furthermore, in practice, road pavers and material feeders are known to have exhaust pipes that can be attached or folded down on the engine hood of the construction machine. Consequently, for transporting the road paver on a low-loader, the exhaust pipe can be removed or folded down in such a way that the required transport height is maintained.
Allerdings hat sich in der Praxis trotz des aufsteckbaren bzw. zusammenklappbaren Abgasendrohres herausgestellt, dass derartige bewegliche Vorrichtungen leicht beschädigt werden. Oftmals ist das Abgasendrohr bzw. der Schalldämpfer dermaßen mit Rost befallen, dass eine Abnahme bzw. Zusammenklappung durch das Bedienpersonal nur schwer oder nicht möglich ist. Hinzu kommt, dass ein abnehmbares Abgasendrohr bzw. ein zusammenklappbares Abgasendrohr verhältnismäßig teuer ist und zur Montage zusätzliches Fachwissen notwendig ist, um einen ordnungsgemäßen Abgasausstoß zu gewährleisten.However, in practice, despite the attachable or foldable exhaust tailpipe, it has been found that such movable devices are easily damaged. Often, the exhaust tailpipe or silencer is so badly corroded that removal or folding by the operator is difficult or impossible. Furthermore, a detachable or foldable exhaust tailpipe is relatively expensive, and its installation requires additional expertise to ensure proper exhaust emission.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Baumaschine mittels einfacher konstruktiver Merkmale dahingehend zu verbessern, dass Abgase der Baumaschine vom Bedienpersonal ferngehalten werden können.The invention is based on the objective of improving a construction machine by means of simple design features in such a way that exhaust fumes from the construction machine can be kept away from the operating personnel.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst mit den technischen Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Verbesserte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind durch die technischen Merkmale der Unteransprüche gegeben.This problem is solved by the technical features of claim 1. Improved embodiments of the invention are given by the technical features of the dependent claims.
Bei der Erfindung ist das Abgasrohr nicht auf der Motorhaube der Baumaschine angeordnet. Im Gegensatz dazu ist bei der Erfindung das Abgasrohr im Motorraum angeordnet, wobei das Abgasrohr unter der Motorhaube endet.In this invention, the exhaust pipe is not located on the hood of the construction machine. In contrast, in this invention, the exhaust pipe is located in the engine compartment, with the exhaust pipe ending under the hood.
Weil bei der Erfindung das Abgasrohr bereits unter der Motorhaube endet, hat der Bediener während des Betriebs der Baumaschine eine verbesserte Sicht. Außerdem kann das Abgasrohr unter der Motorhaube vor Verschmutzungen und schlechten Wetterverhältnissen geschützt werden, wodurch die Funktionalität des Abgasrohres verbessert und die Lebensdauer erhöht werden kann. Außerdem besteht für das im Motorraum angeordnete Abgasrohr während eines Transports nicht das Risiko beschädigt zu werden. Des Weiteren kann auf aufwändige und teure Klapp- bzw. Steckvorrichtungen des Abgasrohres verzichtet werden.Because the exhaust pipe in this invention terminates under the engine hood, the operator has improved visibility while operating the construction machine. Furthermore, the exhaust pipe is protected from dirt and adverse weather conditions under the hood, thus improving its functionality and extending its service life. Additionally, the exhaust pipe, located in the engine compartment, is not at risk of damage during transport. Moreover, complex and expensive folding or plug-in devices for the exhaust pipe are unnecessary.
Vorzugsweise umfasst das Abgasrohr mindestens einen Abgasauslassstutzen, der dem Abgasstrom eine Austrittsrichtung gibt und ebenfalls unter der Motorhaube endet. Durch den Abgasauslassstutzen kann eine begrenzte und zielgerichtete Menge an Abgasen den Motorraum der Baumaschine verlassen.Preferably, the exhaust pipe includes at least one exhaust outlet nozzle, which directs the exhaust flow and also terminates under the engine hood. A limited and controlled quantity of exhaust gases can leave the engine compartment of the construction machine through the exhaust outlet nozzle.
Bei der Erfindung ist in der Motorhaube eine Abgasauslassöffnung vorgesehen, die mit dem Abgasrohr, insbesondere mit dem Abgasauslassstutzen, strömungstechnisch ausgerichtet ist. Die in der Motorhaube vorgesehene Abgasauslassöffnung gewährleistet einen problemlosen Austritt der Verbrennungsgase durch die Motorhaube.The invention provides an exhaust outlet opening in the engine hood, which is flow-optimized in relation to the exhaust pipe, in particular the exhaust outlet nozzle. The exhaust outlet opening provided in the engine hood ensures the unimpeded escape of combustion gases through the hood.
In einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform mündet der Abgasauslassstutzen oder das Abgasrohr in der Abgasauslassöffnung. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die ausströmenden Abgase vom Abgasrohr bzw. vom Abgasauslassstutzen vollständig in die Abgasauslassöffnung eingeleitet werden.In a suitable embodiment, the exhaust outlet nozzle or exhaust pipe opens into the exhaust outlet opening. This ensures that the exhaust gases flowing from the exhaust pipe or exhaust outlet nozzle are completely directed into the exhaust outlet opening.
Erfindungsgemäß ist in der Motorhaube zum Auslass von Abwärme des Motors mindestens eine Abluftöffnung vorgesehen. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass der Motor überhitzt und dadurch beschädiat wird.According to the invention, at least one exhaust opening is provided in the engine hood to dissipate waste heat from the engine. This prevents the engine from overheating and being damaged as a result.
Bei der Erfindung umfasst die mindestens eine Abluftöffnung Strömungsrippen, um einem austretenden Abluftstrom eine Ausströmungsrichtung zu geben.In the invention, the at least one exhaust air opening comprises flow ribs to give an outgoing exhaust air stream an outflow direction.
Vorzugsweise ist die Abgasauslassöffnung neben der Abluftöffnung angeordnet. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der Abgasstrom in den Abluftstrom geleitet wird, wodurch ein effizienter Abtransport der Abgase von der Baumaschine herstellbar ist.Preferably, the exhaust gas outlet is located next to the exhaust air opening. This ensures that the exhaust gas flow is directed into the exhaust air flow, thereby enabling efficient removal of the exhaust gases from the construction machine.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform umfasst das Abgassystem mindestens einen Kühllüfter, der zur Kühlung des Motors-vorgesehen ist.In another embodiment, the exhaust system includes at least one cooling fan, which is intended for cooling the engine.
Vorteilhaft ist auch, wenn der Kühllüfter drehzahlgeregelt ist.It is also advantageous if the cooling fan has a speed control.
Ein ausreichender Kühlluftstrom wird dadurch erreicht, wenn der Kühllüfter eine Mindestdrehzahl nicht unterschreiten.Sufficient cooling airflow is achieved when the cooling fan does not fall below a minimum speed.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ein vom Kühllüfter produzierter Luftstrom zum Abtransport der Motorwärme vorgesehen, wobei der durch die Motorwärme erwärmte Luftstrom vom Kühllüfter einen Abluftstrom zur Mitnahme der Verbrennungsgase des Motors bildet. Beim Austritt des Abluftstroms aus der Abluftöffnung, die in der Motorhaube ausgebildet ist, trifft der Abluftstrom mit dem Abgasstrom aus der Abgasauslassöffnung zusammen, umhüllt und verdünnt diesen, und leitet ihn aus der Abgasauslassöffnung bzw. vom Bedienpersonal weg.According to the invention, an airflow produced by the cooling fan is provided for the removal of engine heat, wherein the airflow heated by the engine heat forms an exhaust airflow from the cooling fan to carry away the combustion gases of the engine. Upon exiting the exhaust airflow from the exhaust opening formed in the engine hood, the exhaust airflow meets the exhaust gas flow from the exhaust outlet opening, surrounds and dilutes it, and directs it away from the exhaust outlet opening and away from the operating personnel.
Vorzugsweise ist ein Diffusor vorgesehen, der zur Verdünnung und Abkühlung der Verbrennungsgase einsetzbar ist. Durch den Diffusor können die Abgase direkt nach dem Austritt aus dem Verbrennungsmotor entspannt und abgekühlt werden, so dass eine übermäßige Erhitzung des Abgasrohres ausbleibt. Außerdem gelingt durch den Diffusor ein verbesserter Abtransport von erzeugter Motorwärme, wobei die durch den Diffusor abgegebenen abgekühlten Abgase die Umgebungstemperatur des Motors der Baumaschine nicht unnötig erhitzen.Preferably, a diffuser is provided that can be used to dilute and cool the combustion gases. The diffuser allows the exhaust gases to expand and cool immediately after exiting the combustion engine, thus preventing excessive heating of the exhaust pipe. Furthermore, the diffuser improves the dissipation of generated engine heat, and the cooled exhaust gases released by the diffuser do not unnecessarily raise the ambient temperature of the construction machine's engine.
Vorteilhaft ist auch, wenn das Abgasrohr mit einer Abgasnachbehandlungsvorrichtung verbunden ist. Durch die Abgasnachbehandlungsvorrichtung kann der Abgasstrom geweitet, verlangsamt und dessen Schwingungen abgeschwächt werden. Die Abgasnachbehandlungsvorrichtung kann einen Partikelfilter, einen Katalysator, einen Schalldämpfer usw. umfassen.It is also advantageous if the exhaust pipe is connected to an exhaust aftertreatment system. This system widens and slows the exhaust flow and reduces its vibrations. The exhaust aftertreatment system can include a particulate filter, a catalytic converter, a silencer, etc.
Um eine Schallabstrahlung des Abgassystems zu reduzieren, ist die Abgasnachbehandlungsvorrichtung vorzugsweise im Motorraum der Baumaschine angeordnet. Damit ist es auch möglich, die Abgasnachbehandlungsvorrichtung vor schlechten Wettereinflüssen zu schützen.To reduce noise emissions from the exhaust system, the exhaust aftertreatment device is preferably located in the engine compartment of the construction machine. This also makes it possible to protect the exhaust aftertreatment device from adverse weather conditions.
