Abstract:
A belt tensioning unit (1) having a rotatably fixed base part (2) and a tensioning part (3) which can be rotated in a limited manner in relation to the base part against the action of an energy storage unit (6) is provided. Between the base part (2) and the tensioning part (3) a friction device (8) is radially arranged between the energy storage unit (6) and a friction surface (10). The friction device is pre-tensioned by the energy storage unit (6) in a radial outward direction against the friction surface (10) when the base part (2) and the tensioning part (3) are rotated in relation to each other. In order to obtain a simple friction device (8) having improved friction properties, it is proposed to design the friction device (8) as a friction segment (9) that encloses two friction surfaces arranged symmetrically to each other and opposite of each other at the friction surface (10).
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method and device for carrying out an avoidance maneuver of a motor vehicle. An object in the surroundings of the motor vehicle which is on a collision course is detected. A warning is output to the vehicle driver, to the effect that the motor vehicle is on a collision course, and the steering activity of the vehicle driver is detected. An externally actuable rear-wheel steering device is subsequently switched such that the front wheels and the rear wheels of the motor vehicle are controlled in the same direction. Also, the vehicle movement dynamics effects of the actuation of the externally actuable rear-wheel steering device in the same direction are compensated. A further warning is output to the vehicle driver in order to cause the vehicle driver to perform a greater steering activity necessary as a result of the actuation of the externally actuable rear-wheel steering device.
Abstract:
A clamping device with mechanical damping for a traction mechanism drive is provided. The device includes a clamping arm which carries a tension roller on one end thereof and is rotatably mounted in a housing at the other end thereof via a shaft connected thereto in a rotationally fixed manner, and is elastically supported on the housing by a torsion spring. A free end of the shaft is connected to a friction disk in a rotationally fixed manner, and a friction lining is arranged between the friction disk and an axial abutment surface of the housing. The invention reduces the friction lining wear and increases the damping capacity thereof. To accomplish this, a separate friction disk (7″″) is connected to a separate friction lining (8″″) in a positively locked manner without play, and the separate friction lining ((8″″) is in frictional contact with the axial abutment surface (10) of the housing (1).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tensioning device (1) of a traction mechanism drive, comprising a base part (2) and a pivot arm (9), between which base part (2) and pivot arm (9) is inserted a torsional spring (17) which exerts both a torque on the pivot arm (9) and also a spreading force between the base part (2) and the pivot arm (9). To axially secure the pivot arm (9) to the base part (2), a latching connector (10) is provided which has a perforated disc (11) which is supported on a bearing pin (3) of the base part (2) and which extends radially into a region of the hub (8) of the pivot arm (9). An axially projecting extension (12) of the latching connector (10) engages into a receptacle (5), which is designed as a stepped bore (4), of the bearing pin (3), wherein an end region (14) is supported, in a radially flared fashion, on a step (15) of the receptacle (5).
Abstract:
A device for connecting a generator to a belt drive of an internal combustion engine is provided, which includes a belt pulley (1) that is guided so that it can rotate relative to a hub (2) set on a shaft (3). At least one spring element is arranged between the belt pulley (1) and the hub (2) and connects the belt pulley (1) and the hub (2) to each other elastically for transferring rotational motion and here sets a relative rotation between the belt pulley (1) and the hub (2) corresponding to an effective torsional stiffness. The at least one spring element is placed with a defined movement play (s) with respect to the belt pulley (1) and/or the hub (2), in order to allow relative rotation through the movement play (s) in a first region (I) with a low torsional stiffness, while, in a second region (2), a high torsional stiffness can be generated by the at least one spring element.
Abstract:
A sliding or friction element that can be mechanically stressed is provided that includes a mechanically stressed section that is formed of a combination of at least two different plastics, one of which acts as a lubricating material. The first plastic (11) forms a plastic matrix, in which the second plastic (12) is chemically bonded.
Abstract:
A method performed by at least one apparatus is disclosed in which image data is obtained that represents an image of a surface of a consignment captured by an image sensor. At least partially on the basis of the image data, metadata associated with the image data is determined. The metadata represent a plurality of image features of the image represented by the image data. Each image feature of the image features represented by the metadata is an image component of the image represented by the image data. Distribution and/or sorting information is determined for the automated distribution and/or sorting of the consignment at least partially on the basis of the image features represented by the metadata.
Abstract:
A method for unloading a container having packages with a rail device comprising a rail having a hand element displaceable in the longitudinal direction. The hand element has a plurality of finger elements having two flexible flank elements extending jointly from one end to the opposite end of the finger element. Each are connected flexibly to each other via a plurality of webs. The finger elements adjustable from a curved position into an extended position and back. The packages are stacked in the container forming a front face in which the rail device is brought close to the front face of the stacked packages. One hand element grips one package from the stack of packages and removes it from the stack. Following the removal, it is displaced along the rail and following the displacement grips one further package and removes it from the stack of packages.

Abstract:
A method for monitoring a conveyor system transporting separated piece goods is disclosed. The conveyor system has a display device extending in sections along a transport path for the piece goods. The display device is designed to display at least one optical signal at different points of the transport path, and the display device is coupled to a control device. The control device determines information relating to the relationship of the actual conveyance of the piece good along the transport path with respect to the predetermined conveyance of the piece good along the transport path. An optical signal running along parallel to a piece good transported along the at least one transport path is displayed by the display device. The optical signal indicates the relationship of the actual conveyance of the piece good with respect to the predetermined conveyance of the piece good.
