Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A drive apparatus in a self-propelled construction machine comprises a milling rotor and a main drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor via an engaging and disengaging clutch, and an auxiliary drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor alternatively to the main drive. The clutch is provided with a fixed side and an axially displaceable output side, which is displaceable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The axially displaceable side is simultaneously also the engaging and disengaging part of a shiftable transmission, the fixed part of which is driven by the auxiliary drive, with the transmission and the clutch being engaged and disengaged in a selective fashion via the axially displaceable side of the clutch.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An apparatus in a self-propelled construction machine, comprising: a milling rotor and a main drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor via an engaging and disengaging clutch, and an auxiliary drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor alternatively by the clutch to the main drive; the clutch being provided with a fixed input side and a displaceable output side, the displaceable output side being displaceable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the displaceable output side also comprising an engaging and disengaging part of a shiftable transmission, a fixed part of the shiftable transmission being driven by the auxiliary drive, with the fixed part and the clutch being selectively engaged and disengaged via the displaceable output side of the clutch, wherein the clutch is a disk clutch or multi-disk clutch, and wherein a disk or plate is arranged as a connecting element with the auxiliary drive. 2. An apparatus in a self-propelled construction machine, comprising: a milling rotor and a main drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor via an engaging and disengaging clutch, and an auxiliary drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor alternatively by the clutch to the main drive; the clutch being provided with a fixed input side and a displaceable output side, the displaceable output side being displaceable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the displaceable output side also comprising an engaging and disengaging part of a shiftable transmission, a fixed part of the shiftable transmission being driven by the auxiliary drive, with the fixed part and the clutch being selectively engaged and disengaged via the displaceable output side of the clutch, wherein the transmission includes a toothed gearing or a friction gearing. 3. An apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the displaceable output side of the clutch includes a pressure disk with a gear rim for operative connection with a counterpart of the auxiliary drive. 4. An apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the displaceable output side of the clutch is provided with a friction rim for operative connection with a corresponding counterpart on the side of the auxiliary drive. 5. An apparatus in a self-propelled construction machine, comprising: a milling rotor and a main drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor via an engaging and disengaging clutch, and an auxiliary drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor alternatively by the clutch to the main drive; the clutch being provided with a fixed input side and a displaceable output side, the displaceable output side being displaceable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the displaceable output side also comprising an engaging and disengaging part of a shiftable transmission, a fixed part of the shiftable transmission being driven by the auxiliary drive, with the fixed part and the clutch being selectively engaged and disengaged via the displaceable output side of the clutch, wherein a freewheel is provided between the auxiliary drive and the clutch.
