A WORKING MACHINE FOR DEMOLITION AND EXCAVATION WORK

A working machine which is intended for demolishing and excavating work etc. comprises a chassis (10), an upper part (12) carried by said chassis and arranged for rotational movement relative thereto about a vertical axis, and an arm arrangement carried by the upper part and including a jib structure (18, 19) which is directly connected at one end thereof to the upper part and the other end of which carries, via an intermediate arm (20), a fitting (21, 34, 35) for a tool (22), such as an excavator bucket, a chiseling device or like tool. The jib structure and the intermediate arm are connected to the upper part and to each other respectively via pivots (23, 32) and can be pivoted in a vertical plane by means of first and second pressure piston-cylinder devices (26, 33) active between the upper part and the jib structure and between the jib structure and the intermediate arm respectively. The jib structure is divided into a first, short jib section (18) which is pivotally connected to the upper part (12), and a second, longer jib section (9) which is pivotally connected to the first jib section. The first jib section (18) is connected to the first pressure cylinder device (26), while the second jib section (19) is connected to the second pressure cylinder device (33). Further, the jib sections (18, 19) can be pivoted relative to one another in the vertical plane by means of a further pressure cylinder device (31) acting between the jib sections; whereat one of said first-and the further pressure cylinder devices (26, 31) can only be driven together with the other; and whereat the arrangement of the first and the further pressure cylinder devices is such that when they operate simultaneously they swing the jib sections (18, 19) at the same angular speed in opposite directions.
