A method for braking a self-propelled road finisher or feeder as well as a brake system for a self-propelled road finisher or feeder

摘要

Road finisher or feeder with hydraulic and electrical drives are usually hydraulically braked. This requires the laying of the brake lines, which is formed in the form of pipes in the rough operation of a road finisher or feeder are susceptible to faults.According to the invention, each driven wheel (10) of the road finisher or mobile feeder to brake by electrically controlled braking devices. The braking devices, by switching over from the hydraulic motors (18) to hydraulic pumps or electric motors are formed to generators, but also in addition or alternatively by disk clutches (22) or disk brakes. As a result of the electrical control of the braking devices, there is no need for the expensive laying of pipes for brake fluid. In addition, it is the susceptibility to failure is reduced, in particular also by the fact that in the case of electrical control of the braking devices can be realized simply redundant signal lines.
