Definitions

• the invention relates to a vibration plate according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Vibratory plates for soil compaction are well known. They basically consist of a ground contact plate acted upon by a vibration exciter and a drive that drives the vibration exciter.
• the drive is assigned to an upper mass, while the vibration exciter and the ground contact plate are considered to belong to a lower mass.
• the upper mass and the lower mass are movably connected to one another via a spring device. This is intended to achieve a vibration decoupling of the upper mass in order to protect the drive and the operator guiding the vibration plate on the upper mass.
• the operator When repairing road surfaces, the operator must ensure that the transition between the existing asphalt layer and the newly applied asphalt layer that is now to be compacted is as smooth as possible. To do this, the operator tries to achieve particularly strong compaction of the fresh asphalt in the transition area. For this purpose, it has been found in practice to tilt the vibrating plate, i. H. to place it on an edge of the ground contact plate. Often this work is supported by a second operator.
• the spring device described above, connecting the upper mass to the lower mass is usually implemented in the form of rubber buffers which are arranged between the upper mass and the lower mass. Such rubber buffers allow a relative movement between the upper mass and the lower mass in any spatial direction.
• the ground contact plate is tilted, i. H. the lower mass, in relation to the upper mass. This tilting movement is not prevented by the rubber buffers and is only limited in its extent by the spring action of the rubber buffers.
• V-belt drive ie from a V-belt pulley arranged on the drive via a V-belt to a V-belt pulley provided on the vibration exciter. If a canting or transverse displacement occurs between the upper mass and the lower mass, the V-belt pulleys of the drive and vibration exciter no longer align, which leads to considerable stress on the V-belt running between them and thus to a shortened service life. The result is more frequent interruptions in vibration work and the associated costs.
• the invention has for its object to provide a vibration plate in which misalignment between the V-belt pulleys of the upper and lower mass due to tilt or transverse offset positions between the upper and lower mass can be avoided or reduced.
• a vibration plate according to the invention is characterized in that, in addition to the spring device connecting the upper mass to the lower mass, a stabilizing device is provided for guiding the lower mass as it moves relative to the upper mass.
• the stabilization device thus ensures that the upper mass and the lower mass can only assume predefined relative positions specified by the stabilization device.
• the stabilization device is to be designed in such a way that it only permits relative positions in which the required alignment of the V-belt pulleys and the resulting orientation between the upper and lower mass is guaranteed.
• the stabilization device is designed as a parallel guide, in such a way that it only displaces the upper mass and
• an advantageous embodiment of the invention is particularly interesting in practice, in which the stabilization device does not allow the upper mass to tilt relative to the lower mass. While the spring device connecting the upper and lower mass in the form of z. B. rubber buffers, depending on the spring constant, allows almost any tilt positions between the upper and lower mass, the stabilization device prevents tilting or significantly reduces the tilt angle. Of course, due to the high forces acting and the tolerances tolerated in such construction machines, it cannot be ruled out that tilting between the upper and lower mass can nevertheless occur. However, the tilt angle permitted by the stabilization device is considerably smaller than without the stabilization device.
• the stabilization device does not allow the upper mass to tilt relative to the lower mass about an axis directed in a main direction of travel. This prevents transverse tilting, which occurs in particular when the vibrating plate is placed on a side edge of the ground contact plate. Tilting about an axis transverse to the main direction of travel remains possible in order to allow a principle-related pitching movement between the upper and lower mass and thereby to avoid an increased load on the stabilization device.
• connection between the upper and lower mass is to be designed in such a way that the horizontal and vertical relative movement is permitted.
• the stabilization device is designed such that it does not permit a transverse offset or a transverse displacement of the upper mass relative to the lower mass transversely to the main direction of travel. On in this way, an alignment error between the V-belt pulleys of the upper and lower mass can also be prevented or reduced.
• the stabilization device preferably has at least one dimensionally stable connecting element which connects the upper mass to the lower mass, the connecting element preferably being articulated to the upper and lower mass.
• the connecting element represents a guiding or steering device and ensures that only relative positions between the upper and lower mass can be assumed that are permitted by the connecting element.
• the connecting element is a transverse stabilizer.
• the transverse stabilizer can have a substantially horizontally arranged U-shaped element, which is attached to the upper mass and to the lower mass via pivot bearings.
• Transverse stabilizers are known in principle from vehicle technology and ensure that tilting between the upper mass and the lower mass is reduced or prevented.
• the U-shaped element is advantageously fastened to the upper mass and / or to the lower mass via at least one vertical lever, the vertical lever being articulated to the upper or lower mass and to the U-shaped element.
• the linkage is preferably carried out via two vertical levers in order to ensure the required stability.
• the open ends of the U-shaped element are articulated either on the upper or lower mass, while a central part of the U-shaped element enclosed by the open ends is articulated accordingly on the opposite lower or upper mass.
• the middle part can preferably be substantially perpendicular to the open ends of the U-shaped element enclosing it.
• the anti-roll bar can be produced in a simple manner at low manufacturing costs.
• the open ends of the U-shaped element are oriented essentially in the main direction of travel, and that pivot axes predetermined by the pivot bearings are directed transversely to the main direction of travel of the vibration plate. This arrangement ensures that the transverse stabilizer prevents the upper mass from tilting relative to the lower mass about an axis directed in the main direction of travel.
• the open ends of the U-shaped element can also be directed essentially in a direction transverse to the main direction of travel. Accordingly, the pivot axes predetermined by the pivot bearings are aligned in the main direction of travel of the vibration plate. Then a pitching movement between the upper and lower mass explained above can be prevented, which occurs due to the principle of vibration exciters, in which at least two unbalanced shafts are arranged parallel to each other and driven in rotation. Since the unbalanced masses carried by the unbalanced shafts are not arranged in the overall center of gravity of the lower mass, they each cause a rotational moment about the transverse center of gravity axis of the lower mass, which is expressed in a pitching movement of the ground contact plate.
• the U-shaped element can be designed in such a way that its transverse rigidity is low and the U-shaped element accordingly behaves smoothly in the transverse direction.
• two U-shaped elements or transverse stabilizers are provided, which are arranged essentially at right angles to one another. In this way, tilting between the upper and lower mass can be avoided and a pitching movement suppressed.
• the connecting element is in particular by a connecting rod formed a panard stick.
• a Panard rod is also known from automotive engineering and ensures guidance between the elements to which it is attached.
• the Panard rod can be articulated at its ends to the upper mass and the lower mass.
• the connecting rod is preferably arranged essentially transversely to the main direction of travel, in order in this way to avoid a transverse displacement between the upper and lower mass.
• the connecting rod has a sufficiently long length, the fact that the vertical movement between the upper and lower mass is small means that the horizontal movement (transverse displacement, transverse displacement) can also be kept small.
• the connecting rod is preferably arranged essentially horizontally in order to avoid unnecessary overall height. Of course, however, it can also have a slight inclination with respect to the horizontal plane. So that the connecting rod can achieve the desired effect, it is advantageous if the pivot axes predetermined by the pivot bearings are directed in the main direction of travel.
• the pivot bearings can preferably be implemented in the form of ball joint bearings in order to achieve a corresponding angular mobility.
• the connecting rod should be as long as possible, but this must be adapted to the available space.
• two connecting rods are provided which are arranged essentially parallel to one another. In this way, e.g. B. a connecting rod in front and a connecting rod behind the vibration exciter of the lower mass.
• the connecting element ie the transverse stabilizer or the connecting rod
• the connecting element should be dimensionally stable. That means preferably that the connecting element is essentially dimensionally stable. to achieve the desired leadership effect.
• spring devices can be provided at the ends of the connecting element, that is to say at the connecting points with the upper or lower mass, via which the connecting element is held.
• the pivot bearings can be designed such that they have spring properties.
• the stiffness should apply in particular with regard to an imaginary connecting line that runs between the articulation points of the connecting element on the upper mass and on the lower mass.
• the connecting element is resilient transversely to the imaginary connecting line between the articulation points. That means that it still has to be dimensionally stable. However, due to its elastic properties, it can allow certain deformations. Since the spring action generates spring forces in the manner chosen by the arrangement of the connecting element, a reduction in the tilt angle or the transverse offset between the upper and lower mass is also achieved.

• the ground contact plate 1 and the vibration exciter 2 form essential elements of a lower mass 4.
• the lower mass 4 is connected to the upper mass 3 via rubber buffers 5 serving as spring devices. Due to the spring properties of the rubber buffers 5, the upper mass 3 and the lower mass 4 can be moved relative to one another in almost any spatial direction.
