Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a method of and apparatus for positioning the screed board in a road paving machine for accurately finishing the surface of the surfacing material being used and, more particularly, it is directed to devices for determining any deflection y-of ⁇ the screed board from a reference position and tormeans cooperating with the sensing devices for reestablishing the screed board in the proper reference position.
  • the invention concerns the use of sensing devices, for determining the deflections, which generate electrical voltages proportional to the extent of' the deflections of the screed board and by means of the voltages the extent of the deflection is measured and the proper adjustments made.
  • a sensing device for determining transverse inclination of the finishing member such as a ⁇ pendulum
  • a sensing device for establishing the longitudinal levelor slope of the finishing member such as a scanner moving along a pilot wire
  • potentiometers for transmitting variable voltage values to adjusting devices for properly aligning the finishing member.
  • sensing devices can function perfectly only when attached to the finishing member itself and, as a result, they are exposed not only to the vibrations of the drive system of the road-paving machine, but also to the considerably stronger vibrations of a shaking device used in combination with the finishing member. Accordingly, it is unavoidable that the sensing members experience severe and undesired vibratory movements. For instance, it has been established that the pendulum-type sensing device swings back and forth continuously duringoperation due to the undesired vibratory movements and that the scanning device constantly dances on the reference wire.
  • the adjusting elements for the finishing member such as magnetic valves for hydraulic adjustment cylinders
  • the adjusting elements for the finishing member are constantly being reversed with the result that the accurate positioning of the finishing member lis questionable and the reversing action contributes greatly to the wear of the adjusting elements.
  • known sensing devices have been mounted in oil. While this compensating action effected an attenuation of the undesired vibrations, it also served to attenuate the actual deflections of the finishing member and there was a tendency to considerably retard such actual deflections, so that any deviations from the actual pavement surface contour could not be adjusted in time to correct the surface imperfections.
  • the present invention solves the problem of the undesired vibrations by completely supressing them without experiencing any retardation response as has been the case in the prior art equipment.
  • the superposed alternating voltages caused by the vibrator means in the road-paving machine are suppressed in establishing the actual deflections of the finishing member or screed board from a reference position. ln attaining the suppression of the vibrations the values of the crest voltages and the trough voltages of the sensing device deflecting laterally on ⁇ both sides of a zero point, as in a pendular action; and the peak voltages associated with a sensing device deflecting from a zero-point to one side only, such as in a scanner gliding on a guide or reference wire, are stored in capacitors or the like and these voltage values are measured subsequently and discharged in time intervals greater than the time period of one cycle of the superposed machine vibrations, with the voltages obtained in the deflection of the sensing devices yielding the measure of the actual deviation of the finishingmember in vibrationless operation.
  • the sensing device is a pendulum-type member
  • the crest and trough voltages are registered separately and a mean value is established from these voltages, the voltage value for the actual deflection vibrationless operation results within one vibration cycle of the machine, with the result that the adjusting member responds promptly without any retardation or error, and also without any regard for the size of the vibration amplitude generated in the machine.
  • the peak voltages associated with the movement of the scanner relative to the wire yield the measure of the actual deflection of the screed board and also can be used within one vibration cycle for establishing the necessary response from the adjusting member.
  • a pair of test recorders are used for sensing the opposed deflections of the device on both sides of a zero point.
  • the crest voltages established by the sensing device are communicated to a capacitor which stores the crest voltages and whose input side is connected to a common pulse generator which establishes the control time period for checking the deflections.
  • the output side of the capacitor is connected to a differential amplifier for determining the voltage differential during the control cycle, with one output terminal of the differential amplifier being connected to a pulse storage member for retaining the positive deflections of the sensing device and its other output terminal being connected to a pulse storage member retaining the negative deflections of the sensing device for the next control pulse.
  • the pulse storage members acting via the amplifiers upon the adjusting members for effecting the proper positioning of the finishing member or screed board.
  • a sensing recorder Since a sensing recorder is positioned on each side of the pendulum-type sensing member and scans opposed sensing member deflections, one of the recorders passes on the crest voltages while the other recorder passes on the trough voltages in the form of crest voltages phase-shifted by
  • the value of the actual deflection of ⁇ the screed board of a road-paving machine from a reference position at vibrationless operation can be established in a simple manner from the differences between these two voltages.
  • the comparison of the two crest voltages is made by a pulse generator in a time period equivalent to one vibration cycle of the lowest vibration frequency.

  • a hydraulic adjustment cylinder 13 is retracted and raises the screed board which is suspended in joints from a bearing 14 by means of crossarms 15. Consequently, additional blacktop material is deposited between the subbase and the screed board so that the finished surface of the blacktop is at the desired level in spite of the depression in the subgrade.
