Abstract

Es wird ein Sondenträger (1) beschrieben, der mindestens eine Sondenaufnahme und Mittel zur Abstandshaltung zur Ermöglichung einer Translationsbewegung des Sondenträgers in einer Bewegungsrichtung (25, 25') über einen Suchbereich aufweist. An der Sondenaufnahme ist mindestens eine Sonde (10) (Wirbelstromsonde und/oder Magnetfeldsonde) zur Bodenerkundung und Fremdkörperdetektion in dem Suchbereich angeordnet. Es ist eine mit der Sondenaufnahme verbundene, vorzugsweise lange Deichsel (11) vorgesehen, die entfernt von der Sondenaufnahme Kopplungsmittel (17, 18, 19) zur flexiblen Ankopplung an ein Fahrzeug aufweist. Wenn der Sondenträger beispielsweise von einem Landfahrzeug gezogen oder geschoben wird, so wirken sich wegen der vorzugsweise langen Deichsel Bodenunebenheiten und Niveauunterschiede zwischen Landfahrzeug und Sondenaufnahme nur geringfügig auf die Ausrichtung der Sondenaufnahme aus, so daß die mit der Sondenaufnahme verbundenen Sonden immer weitgehend optimal zum Suchbereich ausgerichtet bleiben.

Figure 00000001
A probe holder (1) is described which has at least one probe holder and means for spacing to enable a translational movement of the probe holder in a direction of movement (25, 25 ') over a search area. At least one probe (10) (eddy current probe and / or magnetic field probe) for soil detection and foreign body detection is arranged in the search area on the probe receptacle. A, preferably long, drawbar (11) is provided which is connected to the probe holder and has coupling means (17, 18, 19) remote from the probe holder for flexible coupling to a vehicle. If the probe carrier is pulled or pushed by a land vehicle, for example, because of the preferably long drawbar, uneven ground and level differences between the land vehicle and the probe holder have only a minor effect on the orientation of the probe holder, so that the probes connected to the probe holder are always largely optimally aligned with the search area stay.
