Side Plate Arrangement For A Milling Device, Use Of A Side Plate Arrangement And Milling Device With A Side Plate Arrangement

Abstract

The present invention relates to a side plate arrangement for a milling device, comprising a milling roller box arranged on a frame of the milling device, having a side plate whose height can be adjusted and a side plate support having a swivel bearing with a swivel axis around which the side plate can swivel against the frame in a swivel area. The present invention further relates to the use of a swivel guide and a milling machine with such a side plate arrangement. One element of the present invention is a guide curve running concentrically to the swivel axis, with the help of which the swivel movement of the side plate around the swivel axis is carried out.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A side plate arrangement for a milling device, comprising:
 a milling roller box including a height-adjustable slide plate;   a side plate support including a swivel bearing having a swivel axis, around which the side plate can be swivelled against a frame in a swivel area (α and β), with the side plate support comprising a connecting element, between the milling roller box and the side plate, and the swivel bearing being arranged on the connecting element; and   a swivel guide for guiding a swivel movement (a, b) of the swivel plate with a guide curve running at least partially concentrically to the swivel axis of the swivel bearing, with the guide curve being part of a lowering stop which has a stop edge and which restricts the vertical adjustment of the side plate in the downward direction.   
     
     
         2 . A side plate arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the swivel bearing can be adjusted between a low position and a high position, and that the guide curve of the swivel guide comprises a section, which runs concentrically exclusively to the swivel axis of the swivel bearing in the low position. 
     
     
         3 . A side plate arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the lowering stop is part of a side plate wrap-around, which partially wraps around the side plate and is part of a vertical guide. 
     
     
         4 . A side plate arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein a protruding guide element is arranged on the side plate, which is designed for attachment to the guide curve. 
     
     
         5 . A side plate arrangement according to  claim 2 , wherein the swivel guide has at least one swivel limitation, which restricts the swivel area of the side plate in at least one swivel direction (a, b). 
     
     
         6 . A side plate arrangement according to  claim 5 , wherein the swivel limitation is a part of a slotted hole guide. 
     
     
         7 . A side plate arrangement according to  claim 6 , wherein the slotted hole guide has a guide curve which runs concentrically to the swivel axis of the swivel bearing at least in the low position of the swivel bearing. 
     
     
         8 . A side plate arrangement according to  claim 6 , wherein the size of the slotted hole of the slotted hole guide is selected such that, it covers the area of a curve chart, which is derived from swivel curves (KB 2 ) of the side plate in the low and high positions of the swivel bearing. 
     
     
         9 . A side plate arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting element is mounted on the milling roller box such that it is essentially linearly adjustable. 
     
     
         10 . A method of using a swivel guide with a guide track running at least partially concentrically to the swivel axis the swivel bearing of the side plate, according to  claim 1  for guiding a swivel movement of the side plate. 
     
     
         11 . A machine including a side plate arrangement according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         12 . A side plate arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting element comprises a sealing plate. 
     
     
         13 . A milling machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the milling machine comprises a road miller, a stabiliser or a recycler.
