Abstract

A concrete mixing system includes a vehicle, a rotatable mixing drum coupled to the vehicle, an incline and/or slump sensor, and a controller. The controller is configured to effect a change of rotational speed of the rotatable mixing drum in response to a signal from at least one of the sensors indicating an increased likelihood of spillage of concrete from the rotatable mixing drum.

IPC Classes  ?

• B28C 5/42 - Apparatus specially adapted for being mounted on vehicles with provision for mixing during transport
• B60P 3/16 - Vehicles adapted to transport, to carry or to comprise special loads or objects for carrying mixed concrete, e.g. having rotatable drums

Abstract

A concrete mixing system includes a vehicle (10), a rotatable mixing drum (28) coupled to the vehicle, an incline and/or slump sensor, and a controller. The controller (140) is configured to effect a change of rotational speed of the rotatable mixing drum in response to a signal from at least one of the sensors indicating an increased likelihood of spillage of concrete from the rotatable mixing drum (28).

Abstract

One example of the invention is a vehicle including a chassis, engine and wheels, and further comprising a rotating main turret; an outflow conveyor mounted on the main turret and configured to be rotated relative to the vehicle through rotation of the main turret; a feed turret assembly configured for vertical movement between a lowered storage position and a raised operational position, the feed turret assembly configured for rotation independent of and relative to the main turret; a feed conveyor configured to be rotated relative to the vehicle through rotation of the feed turret assembly, a discharge end of the feed conveyor connected to the feed turret assembly and positioned above the outflow conveyor when the feed turret assembly is in a raised operational position; and wherein when the feed turret assembly is in a raised operational position material being carried along the feed conveyor is deposited from the discharge end of the feed conveyor downward onto the outflow conveyor and transferred along the outflow conveyor to a distal end.

Abstract

A concrete transit mixer truck includes a control system that automatically controls rotation of the mixer drum at a constant drum speed when the mixer truck is traveling. When sensed speed of the truck exceeds a threshold, the control system automatically causes a hydraulic system to rotate the drum at a constant speed, regardless of the truck engine speed.

Abstract

A mounting bracket is attachable to a vehicle frame for pivotally connecting a booster axle assembly comprising a pair of spaced arms, each arm having a first end, a second end, and an axle connected therebetween. The mounting bracket includes a U-shaped portion having a base and a pair of spaced legs connected to the base and extending in a first direction generally normal to the base. The pair of spaced legs and base define a space for receiving the first end of one of the arms of the booster axle assembly. Each leg defines first and second spaced appendages that define a slot. A mounting plate is connected to the base of the U-shaped portion and extends in a second direction normal to the base to permit connection of the mounting bracket to the vehicle frame.

IPC Classes  ?

• B62D 61/12 - Motor vehicles or trailers, characterised by the arrangement or number of wheels, not otherwise provided for, e.g. four wheels in diamond pattern with variable number of ground-engaging wheels, e.g. with some wheels arranged higher than others, or with retractable wheels
