Definitions
- the invention relates to the curber paver utilised on highways, tunnels, streets, ditches, country roads, and streets, as well as anywhere else a road exists.
- the invention specifically relates to curber paver containing a hydraulic adjustment element that adjusts the position of the curber paver mould slides, which is used to ensure that the pressure of the hydraulic fluid to be sent to the hydraulic arms is initially adjusted according to the roughness of the floor on which the curber will be laid, and that after the hydraulic fluid is transferred to the hydraulic system according to the vertical component force coming to the hydraulic arms, the pressure of this hydraulic fluid automatically comes to the initially set pressure when pressing back on the hydraulic arms and the hydraulic arms that are used to instantly transfer these forces to the curber paver mould slides in the event that the curber paver mould slides encounter forces with a vertical component and position the curber paver mould slides according to the vertical component force coming from the ground by automatically transferring the hydraulic fluid inside to the hydraulic system with the effect of these forces.
- curber pavers are utilised on roads, tunnels, etc. Research and development on curber pavers contribute to the economy and improves the quality of work by reducing concrete waste in curber alignment and production.
- the low paving quality of the curber pavers used in the current technique diminishes the quality of the curber and increases the amount of material required.
- hydraulic arms are used instead of springs to protect the curber paver mould slides from impacts from the ground.
- the greatest issue with these hydraulic arms is that they require constant operator-assisted adjustment to account for the unevenness of the paving area. As the roughness varies, the operator adjusts the hydraulic arms on the mould slides and then exits the slide area by adjusting two separate hydraulic levers. This situation results in both labour expenses and significant time loss.
- the purpose of the invention is to ensure that concrete does not escape from the right and left sections of the mould during laying, thanks to the hydraulically operated slides in the mould section of the curber pavers, thereby reducing concrete consumption and eliminating the need for post-paving concrete removal.
- a further objective of the invention is for the hydraulically operated slides in the mould section of the curber pavers to demonstrate sensitivity when they encounter an obstruction, position themselves, and continue production without halting the curber production process.
- the purpose of the invention is to improve construction quality and save material.
- an additional objective of the invention is to increase the quality of the paving by swiftly filling in any elevation gaps that suddenly appear.
- FIGURES TO ASSIST IN UNDERSTANDING THE INVENTION
- FIGURE 1 Perspective drawing showing the curber paver, which is the subject of the invention.
- FIGURE -2 Drawing depicting the curber paver slides which are the subject of the invention.
- FIGURE -3 Drawing depicting the movement of hydraulic mould slides in the curber paver which is the subject of the invention, when it encounters a foreign object.
- Figure 1 depicts the curber paver (10)
- Figure 2 depicts the curber paver mould (20) and the curber paver mould slides (22)
- Figure 3 depicts the movement of these curber paver mould slides (22) when they come into contact with a foreign object (30).
- Curber pavers (10) are vehicles that are used on highways, tunnels, streets, ditches, village roads, in short, anywhere there is a road, to provide the desired form of concrete paving according to the project.
- the offset bars are driven by the topographer team to adjust the level, slope, and direction of the machine in order for the curber paver (10) to work.
- the rope is stretched to the inserted offset rods.
- the sensors of the curber paver (10) are supported by the rope.
- the concrete mixer comes with concrete. Concrete is discharged onto a screw or conveyor. The emptied concrete is transported to the curber paver mould (20). Vibrators inside the curber paver mould (20) compress the concrete, and the curber emerges from the back of the curber paver mould (20).
- the invention relates to the curber paver mould slides (22) on the curber paver mould (20) used in curber pavers (10).
- the curber paver mould slides (22) located at the ground contact point of the curber paver mould (20) in the mould section save material by preventing concrete from coming out of the right and left sections of the curber paver mould (20) during paving.
- hydraulic arms (21) in the mould slides (22) of the curber paver that is the subject of the invention.
- the pressure of these hydraulic arms (21) is adjusted once at the start, and then the hydraulic arms (21) are positioned automatically without the use of manpower.
- the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic system in the curber paver (10) is pumped into the hydraulic arms (21) until the curber paver mould slides (22) make contact with the ground.
- the pressure in the hydraulic arms (21) is adjusted once using the hydraulic adjustment element (40), based on the unevenness of the ground to be paved.
- the entire function is realised automatically, and the curber paver mould slides (22) that encounter the bumps without the need for human intervention transfer the vertical component force caused by the unevenness to the hydraulic arms (21) and return to their original position. There is no need for human or operator intervention during this transition. Again, the upward force exerts a pushing force on the hydraulic arms (21) during this transition, and the displacement of the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic arms ensures a smooth transition (21). Following the transition, the displaced hydraulic fluid is automatically pumped to the hydraulic arms (21) by the effect of gravity up to the pressure set in the hydraulic adjustment element (40), and the curber paver mould slides (22) return to their original position.
- the hydraulic system in the curber paver mould slide (22) has a hydraulic adjustment element (40) connected to the hydraulic arms (21) and these hydraulic arms (21), which is used to adjust the pressure that the hydraulic fluid will create on the hydraulic arms (21) according to the roughness of the area to be laid, which is initially adjusted to prevent the need for operator assistance again.
- the hydraulic fluid is pumped from the hydraulic system and the pressure bar of the hydraulic fluid pumped from the hydraulic adjustment element (40) is adjusted.
- the hydraulic fluid to be pumped on this hydraulic adjustment element (40) may vary according to the field conditions, the roughness of the floor to be laid on the curber, etc.
- the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic system is pumped once on the hydraulic arms (21) and the pressure value is adjusted with the hydraulic adjustment element (40). Thus, the pressure balance of the hydraulic fluid on the hydraulic arms (21) is ensured.
- the curber paver mould slides (22) Facing a foreign object (30) without the need for any electronic automation, the curber paver mould slides (22) receive the thrust force, which is the vertical component of the foreign object (30) and position the curber paver mould slides (22) according to this force as far as the hydraulic arms (21) allow.
- the position of the curber paver mould slides (22) as the foreign object (30) passes over is given in Figure-3.
- the force from the foreign object (30) is first transferred to the curber paver mould slides (22) and then to the hydraulic arms (21) in the curber paver mould slides (22).
- the hydraulic arms (21) position themselves automatically according to the effect of the incoming force and provide flexibility to the curber paver mould slides (22), allowing the curber paver mould slides (22) to pass over the foreign object (30).
- the hydraulic fluid pumped into the hydraulic arms (21) passes through the hydraulic adjustment element (40) area and is displaced towards the hydraulic system.
- the invention is the curber paver (10), which is utilised on highways, tunnels, streets, ditches, village roads, and streets, as well as anywhere else where there are roads.
- the following steps are followed to continue the curber laying process: the hydraulic fluid is pumped into the hydraulic arms (21) in order for the curber paver mould slides (22) to contact the ground according to the surface to be laid the curber, the hydraulic pressure is adjusted from the area of the hydraulic adjustment element (40) initially according to the ground conditions before the laying process begins, the pressure set from the hydraulic adjustment element (40) is transferred to the hydraulic arms (21), and stabilization of the hydraulic fluid, the curber paver mould slides (22) in the curber paver encounter the foreign object (30) during curber paving; the curber paver mould slides (22) abut against the foreign object (30) and the vertical component force generated by the foreign object (30) is instantly transferred to the hydraulic arms (21) in order not to impair the curber paving quality; ensuring that the hydraulic fluid inside the hydraulic arms (21) passes automatically to the hydraulic system with the effect of the force; moving the hydraulic arms (21) in the upward direction; passing over the foreign object (30) and again under the influence of gravity of
- the hydraulic fluid pressure pumped into the hydraulic arms (21) at the moment the curber paver mould slides (22) contact the ground is provided.
- the hydraulic fluid pressure in the hydraulic arms (21) is the pressure element that is referenced and adjusted by the hydraulic adjustment element (40).
- the invention uses a method of mechanical automation. In accordance with the invention, it is ensured that the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic arms (21) moves and returns to its original position. The hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic arms (21) is displaced by the vertical component force originating from the ground, and the hydraulic fluid is directed towards the hydraulic arms (21) by the hydraulic adjustment element (40) reaching the pressure value determined at the outset, thereby repositioning the hydraulic arms (21).
