Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Verfahren und Vorrichtungen zum Bearbeiten von Pflasterelementen, insbesondere zur künstlichen Alterung von Pflasterelementen.The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for processing paving elements, in particular for the artificial aging of paving elements.

Es ist bekannt, zum Senken der Verlegekosten und Verkürzen der Verlegezeit Pflasterelemente zu so genannten Verlegepaketen zusammenzufassen und mittels entsprechender Verlegemaschinen zu verlegen. Ein solches Verlegepaket von Pflasterelementen weist zum Beispiel eine Anzahl von in mehreren parallelen Reihen angeordneten Pflastersteinen auf, wobei die einzelnen Reihen jeweils Pflastersteine gleicher Breite enthalten und alle Reihen eine gleiche Gesamtlänge haben, sodass ein rechteckiges, maschinell erfassbares Verlegepaket entsteht. Verlegepakete dieser Art sind zum Beispiel in der WO 99/54552 A1 beschrieben.It is known to reduce the laying costs and shorten the laying time paving elements to form so-called laying packages and to lay by means of appropriate laying machines. Such a laying package of paving elements has, for example, a number of paving stones arranged in several parallel rows, wherein the individual rows each contain paving stones of equal width and all rows have the same overall length, so that a rectangular, mechanically detectable laying package is produced. Laying packages of this kind are for example in the WO 99/54552 A1 described.

Weiter ist in der EP 1 734 188 A1 auch ein Verlegepaket beschrieben, das sowohl Platten als auch Reihen von Pflastersteinen enthält. Auch ein Verlegepaket mit einem wilden Verbund von Pflasterelementen ist möglich.Next is in the EP 1 734 188 A1 Also described a laying package containing both plates and rows of paving stones. Also a laying package with a wild compound of paving elements is possible.

Es ist weiter bekannt, Pflastersteine mechanisch so zu bearbeiten, dass ihre Kanten und Ecken unregelmäßig abgeschlagen werden. Auf diese Weise sollen die Pflastersteine das Aussehen eines alten Steins erhalten, d.h. sie werden einem künstlichen Alterungsprozess unterzogen.It is also known to work paving stones mechanically so that their edges and corners are cut off irregularly. In this way, the paving stones should have the appearance of an old stone, i. they undergo an artificial aging process.

Das in der Praxis seit langem eingesetzte Verfahren zum künstlichen Altern von Betonpflastersteinen besteht darin, die hergestellten Betonpflastersteine durch eine leicht geneigte und sich drehende Trommel hindurch zu bewegen. Innerhalb der Trommel werden dabei die Ecken und Kanten der Betonpflastersteine durch gegenseitiges Anstoßen der Betonpflastersteine und durch Stoßen der Betonpflastersteine gegen die Trommelwand unregelmäßig abgeschlagen und auch ihre Oberflächen verkratzt (so genanntes Trommeln von Betonpflastersteinen).The method used in practice for the artificial aging of concrete paving stones has been to move the manufactured concrete paving stones through a slightly inclined and rotating drum. Within the drum while the corners and edges of the concrete paving stones are struck irregular by abutting the concrete paving stones and by pushing the concrete paving stones against the drum wall and also scratched their surfaces (so-called drumming of concrete paving stones).

Dieses Trommeln von Betonpflastersteinen ist mit einer erheblichen Lärm- und Staubentwicklung verbunden. Außerdem fallen die bearbeiteten Betonpflastersteine als Schüttgut an, das die Trommel ungeordnet verlässt. Sollen die Betonpflastersteine dann als Verlegepaket maschinell weiter verarbeitet werden, so müssen sie unter großem Aufwand von Hand sortiert und in eine entsprechende Formation gelegt werden, bevor sie ausgeliefert werden können.This drumming of concrete paving stones is associated with a significant noise and dust development. In addition, the processed concrete paving stones accumulate as bulk material, leaving the drum disordered. If the concrete paving stones are then further processed mechanically as a laying package, they must be sorted by hand at great expense and placed in a suitable formation before they can be delivered.

Die DE 198 45 174 A1 schlägt ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum künstlichen Altern von Betonsteinen vor, mit denen die bearbeiteten Betonsteine in der Form eines Verlegepakets zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine Gruppe von Betonsteinen auf einer geneigten Unterlage so positioniert, dass ihre oberen Ecken und Kanten zumindest zeitweilig freiliegen bzw. versetzt zu jeweils benachbarten Betonsteinen über diese hinweg ragen (schuppenartige Anordnung). Anschließend werden Bearbeitungskörper aus einem härteren Material über die so angeordnete Gruppe von Betonsteinen hinweg bewegt, um die vorstehenden Kanten und Ecken der Betonsteine unregelmäßig abzutragen.The DE 198 45 174 A1 proposes a method and an apparatus for artificial aging of concrete blocks, with which the processed concrete blocks can be provided in the form of a laying package. For this purpose, a group of concrete blocks on an inclined surface is positioned so that their upper corners and edges at least temporarily exposed or offset from each adjacent concrete blocks on this project beyond (scale-like arrangement). Subsequently, machining bodies made of a harder material are moved over the group of concrete blocks arranged in this way in order to remove the protruding edges and corners of the concrete blocks irregularly.

Bei diesem herkömmlichen Verfahren wird im Gegensatz zum Trommeln der Betonsteine nur die Oberseite der Betonsteine, d.h. ihre Sichtfläche mechanisch bearbeitet, wohingegen die Unterseite, d.h. ihre Auflagefläche unbearbeitet bleibt. Allerdings werden bei diesem künstlichen Alterungsverfahren in erster Linie die jeweils höher positionierten und den benachbarten Betonstein überragenden Kanten und Ecken der Betonsteine auf der geneigten Unterlage abgeschlagen, wodurch sich ein unsymmetrisches und unnatürlich aussehendes Erscheinungsbild der künstlich gealterten Betonsteine ergibt. Zur vollständigen Bearbeitung der Betonsteine müssten diese wenigstens einmal gedreht werden, um dann nochmals den Prozess zu durchlaufen, was aber die Bearbeitungszeit deutlich erhöht.In this conventional method, in contrast to the tumbling of the concrete blocks, only the top of the concrete blocks, i. their visible surface machined, whereas the bottom, i. their contact surface remains unprocessed. However, in this artificial aging process, the edges and corners of the concrete blocks, which are higher in each case and project beyond the neighboring concrete block, are cut off on the inclined base, resulting in an asymmetrical and unnatural-looking appearance of the artificially aged concrete blocks. For complete processing of concrete blocks they would have to be rotated at least once, in order to then go through the process again, but this significantly increases the processing time.

In der DE 101 62 370 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum künstlichen Altern von Betonsteinen beschrieben, mit welcher die Betonsteine als Verlegepaket bearbeitet werden können und nur ihre Oberseite, d.h. ihre Sichtfläche verkratzt und nur die Ecken und Kanten an ihrer Oberseite abgeschlagen werden. Die Vorrichtung weist eine Auflageplatte mit einer gitterartigen Struktur mit Erhebungen und Vertiefungen, deren charakteristische Maße kleiner als die Abmessungen der Betonsteine sind, auf. Die Betonsteine werden nebeneinander so auf die Auflageplatte gelegt, dass sie zueinander und/oder gegenüber dem Rand der Auflageplatte ein Spiel aufweisen und ihre Sichtfläche zur Auflageplatte hin gewandt ist. Dann werden die Betonsteine durch eine Vibration der Vorrichtung in eine Relativbewegung zueinander versetzt. Beim Rütteln der Betonsteine stoßen diese gegeneinander, sodass ihre Ecken und Kanten abgeschlagen werden. Andererseits bewegen sich die Betonsteine über die gitterartige Struktur der Auflageplatte, sodass ihre Sichtflächen mit Kratzern und Abschürfungen versehen werden.In the DE 101 62 370 A1 a device for the artificial aging of concrete blocks is described, with which the concrete blocks can be edited as a laying package and only their top, ie their visible surface scratched and only the corners and edges are cut off at its top. The device has a support plate with a grid-like structure with elevations and depressions whose characteristic dimensions are smaller than the dimensions of the concrete blocks on. The concrete blocks are placed side by side on the support plate so that they have a game to each other and / or against the edge of the support plate and its visible surface facing the support plate out. Then the concrete blocks are offset by a vibration of the device in a relative movement to each other. When shaking the concrete blocks, they collide against each other so that their corners and edges are knocked off. On the other hand, the concrete blocks move over the grid-like structure of the support plate, so that their visible surfaces are provided with scratches and abrasions.

Wenn die Ecken und Kanten der Betonsteine durch ein gegenseitiges Anstoßen gebrochen werden, so geschieht dies zwangsweise sowohl an ihrer Oberseite als auch an ihrer Unterseite. Lediglich das Verkratzen der Oberfläche durch die gitterartige Struktur der Auflageplatte kann mit diesem herkömmlichen Verfahren auf ihre Sichtfläche beschränkt werden.If the corners and edges of the concrete blocks are broken by a mutual abutment, this is done forcibly both at its top and at its bottom. Only the scratching of the surface by the grid-like structure of the support plate can be limited to its visible surface with this conventional method.

Ferner offenbart dieFurther, the DE 103 33 213 A1DE 103 33 213 A1 eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum künstlichen Altern von Pflastersteinen, bei denen eine Vielzahl von Pflastersteinen auf einer Auflageebene platziert wird, welche eine entsprechende Anzahl von Alterungsformen mit seitlichen Begrenzungen für die Pflastersteine aufweist. Die künstliche Alterung der Steine wird mit Hilfe einer mit der Auflageebene in Wirkverbindung stehenden Vibrationseinrichtung durch schlagende Einwirkung zwischen den Kanten und Ecken der Steine und den seitlichen Begrenzungen der Alterungsformen erzielt. Dabei kann zusätzlich ein Hubbegrenzungselement zur Begrenzung des Hubes der Pflastersteine oberhalb der Steine angeordnet werden. Bei diesem herkömmlichen System werden die Pflastersteine allerdings nicht in einem Verlegepaket bearbeitet und es kann kein durch das Hubbegrenzungselement auf die Steine ausgeübter Druck eingestellt werden, um zum Beispiel den Bearbeitungsgrad der Kanten und Ecken der Steine zu beeinflussen.an apparatus and method for the artificial aging of paving stones in which a plurality of paving stones are placed on a support plane having a corresponding number of aging forms with lateral boundaries for the paving stones. Artificial aging of the stones is achieved by means of a vibration device operatively connected to the support plane by impact between the edges and corners of the stones and the lateral boundaries of the aging forms. In this case, in addition a Hubbegrenzungselement to limit the stroke of the paving stones are arranged above the stones. However, in this conventional system, the paving stones are not processed in a laying package, and no pressure exerted on the stones by the stroke limiting member can be set, for example, to influence the degree of processing of the edges and corners of the stones.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Bearbeiten von Pflasterelementen zu schaffen, mit denen die Pflasterelemente in der Form eines Verlegepakets bearbeitet werden können und ausschließlich die Ecken und Kanten an ihrer oberen Sichtfläche unregelmäßig abgeschlagen werden, ohne jedoch die Sichtfläche selbst zu verkratzen.The present invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus for processing pavement elements, with which the Paving elements in the form of a laying package can be edited and only the corners and edges on their upper visible surface are cut off irregularly, but without scratching the visible surface itself.

Gemäß einem ersten Aspekt der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Bearbeiten von Pflasterelementen mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche 2 bis 7.According to a first aspect of the invention, this object is achieved by a method for processing paving elements having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the method according to the invention are the subject of the dependent claims 2 to 7.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Bearbeiten von Pflasterelementen enthält die Schritte des Platzierens eines Verlegepakets mit einer Anzahl von Pflasterelementen und einem entsprechenden Fugenbild auf einer Auflage derart, dass die Pflasterelemente mit Spiel zueinander und zu einer Umrandung nebeneinander liegen; des Anordnens von Profilelementen aus einem Material, das härter ist als das Material der Pflasterelemente, im Fugenbild des Verlegepakets auf einer der Sichtfläche der Pflasterelemente zugewandten Seite; des Lebens einer Deckplatte auf die auf der Auflage platzierten Pflasterelemente, wobei ein von der Deckplatte auf die Pflasterelemente ausgeübter Druck eingestellt wird; und des Versetzens der Auflage und/ oder der Profilelemente in Vibration.The method according to the invention for processing paving elements comprises the steps of placing a laying package with a number of paving elements and a corresponding joint pattern on a support such that the paving elements are juxtaposed with each other and with a border; arranging profile elements of a material which is harder than the material of the paving elements, in the joint pattern of the laying package on a side facing the visible surface of the paving elements; the life of a cover plate on the paving elements placed on the support, whereby a pressure exerted by the cover plate on the paving elements pressure is adjusted; and the displacement of the support and / or the profile elements in vibration.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird ein komplettes Verlegepaket von Pflasterelementen gleichzeitig und unter Beibehaltung seiner Formation mechanisch bearbeitet, sodass es nach dem Bearbeitungsvorgang als Verlegepaket zum maschinellen Verlegen zur Verfügung steht, ohne dass die gewünschte Formation der Pflasterelemente wieder hergestellt werden müsste. Ferner erfahren die Pflasterelemente des Verlegepakets ausschließlich im Bereich ihrer Ecken und Kanten auf der Seite ihrer Sichtfläche eine Bearbeitung durch die im Fugenbild des Verlegepakets angeordneten Profilelemente, um ein künstliches Altern zu bewirken. Es werden weder die Ecken und Kanten auf der Unterseite der Pflasterelemente gebrochen noch irgendwelche Seitenflächen der Pflasterelemente, insbesondere nicht deren Sichtflächen verkratzt.According to the invention, a complete installation package of paving elements is machined simultaneously while maintaining its formation, so that it is available after the processing operation as a laying package for machine laying without the desired formation of the paving elements would have to be restored. Furthermore, the paving elements of the laying package undergo processing exclusively in the region of their corners and edges on the side of their visible surface through the profile elements arranged in the joint pattern of the laying package in order to effect artificial aging. Neither the corners and edges on the underside of the paving elements are broken nor any side surfaces of the paving elements, in particular not their visible surfaces scratched.

Die Deckplatte wird auf die auf der Auflage platzierten Pflasterelemente gelegt, um ein Wegspringen der Pflasterelemente während der Vibration zu verhindern und einen gewissen Druck auf die Pflasterelemente auszuüben.The cover plate is placed on the paving elements placed on the support to prevent the paving elements from jumping off during vibration and exerting some pressure on the paving elements.

In einer Ausführungsform werden die Profilelemente an bzw. auf der im Wesentlichen glatten Auflage angeordnet und die Pflasterelemente so auf der Auflage platziert, dass ihre Sichtflächen der Auflage zugewandt sind.In one embodiment, the profile elements are arranged on or on the substantially smooth support and the paving elements so on the support placed so that their viewing surfaces are facing the support.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform des Verfahrens werden die Pflasterelemente so auf der Auflage platziert, dass ihre Sichtflächen der Auflage abgewandt sind, und auf die auf der Auflage platzierten Pflasterelemente wird die im Wesentlichen glatte Deckplatte gelegt, an der die Profilelemente angeordnet werden. Auch in diesem Fall erfüllt die Deckplatte die Aufgabe, ein Wegspringen der Pflasterelemente während der Vibration zu verhindern und einen gewissen Druck auf die Pflasterelemente auszuüben.In an alternative embodiment of the method, the paving elements are placed on the support so that their visible surfaces facing away from the support, and on the paving elements placed on the support, the substantially smooth cover plate is placed, on which the profile elements are arranged. Also in this case, the cover plate fulfills the task of preventing the plaster elements from jumping away during the vibration and exerting some pressure on the plaster elements.

Weiter können diese beiden vorgenannten Ausführungsformen auch miteinander kombiniert werden. Das heißt, auf die auf der auf der Auflage platzierten Pflasterelemente wird die Deckplatte gelegt, um ein Wegspringen der Pflasterelemente während der Vibration zu verhindern und einen gewissen Druck auf die Pflasterelemente auszuüben, und Profilelemente werden sowohl an der Auflage als auch an der Deckplatte vorgesehen. Bei dieser Variante ist es möglich, bei den so behandelten Pflasterelementen wahlweise die Oberseite oder die Unterseite als Sichtfläche mit dem künstlich gealterten Aussehen zu benutzen.Further, these two aforementioned embodiments can also be combined with each other. That is, the cover plate placed on the paving members placed on the platen is laid to prevent the paving elements from jumping off during vibration and to exert some pressure on the paving elements, and profile elements are provided on both the support and the cover plate. In this variant, it is possible to use in the thus treated paving elements either the top or bottom as a visible surface with the artificially aged appearance.

In einer noch weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können mehrere Lagen von Verlegepaketen von Pflasterelementen mit Zwischenplatten dazwischen übereinander gestapelt und auf diese Weise dann gleichzeitig bearbeitet werden. Ferner können die Profilelemente entweder frei beweglich angeordnet werden, sodass sie sich während der Vibration relativ zu den Pflasterelementen bewegen können. Alternativ können sie fest mit der Auflage bzw. der Deckplatte verbunden werden.In a still further embodiment of the invention, several layers of laying packages of paving elements with intermediate plates can be stacked therebetween and thus processed simultaneously. Furthermore, the profile elements can either be freely movable so that they can move relative to the paving elements during vibration. Alternatively, they can be firmly connected to the support or the cover plate.

Gemäß einem zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung wird die oben genannte Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung zum Bearbeiten von Pflasterelementen mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 8 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen dieser Vorrichtung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche 9 bis 14According to a second aspect of the invention, the above-mentioned object is achieved by a device for processing paving elements having the features of claim 8. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of this device are the subject of the dependent claims 9 to 14

Die Vorrichtung zum Bearbeiten von Pflasterelementen gemäß der Erfindung weist eine Auflage zum Platzieren eines Verlegepakets mit einer Anzahl von Pflasterelementen und einem entsprechenden Fugenbild; eine Umrandung für das Verlegepaket einer solchen Größe, dass die Pflasterelemente des Verlegepakets mit Spiel zueinander und zu der Umrandung nebeneinander liegen können; eine Anordnung von Profilelementen aus einem Material, das härter ist als das Material der Pflasterelemente, im Fugenbild des Verlegepakets auf einer der Sichtfläche der Pflasterelemente zugewandten Seite; eine Deckplatte, die auf die auf der Auflage platzierten Pflasterelemente gelegt werden kann, wobei ein von der Deckplatte auf die Pflasterelemente ausgeübter Druck einstellbar ist: und einen Vibrationsgenerator zum Versetzen der Auflage und/oder der Profilelemente in Vibration auf.The device for processing paving elements according to the invention comprises a support for placing a laying package with a number of paving elements and a corresponding joint image; a border for the laying package of such a size that the paving elements of the laying package can be juxtaposed with each other and with the border; an arrangement of profile elements made of a material which is harder than the material of the paving elements, in the joint pattern of the laying package on a side facing the visible surface of the paving elements; a cover plate placed on top of the pad Paving elements can be placed, wherein a force exerted by the cover plate on the paving elements pressure is adjustable: and a vibration generator for moving the support and / or the profile elements in vibration.

Die Vorteile dieser Vorrichtung entsprechen jenen, die oben in Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren genannt wurden.The advantages of this device correspond to those mentioned above in connection with the method according to the invention.

Die Deckplatte die auf die auf der Auflage platzierten Pflasterelemente gelegt werden kann, ist vorgesehen, um ein Wegspringen der Pflasterelemente zu verhindern und einen gewissen Druck auf die Pflasterelemente auszuüben.The cover plate, which can be placed on the paving elements placed on the support, is provided to prevent the paving elements from jumping away and exerting some pressure on the paving elements.

In einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist die Auflage im Wesentlichen glatt ausgebildet und sind die Profilelemente an bzw. auf der Auflage dem Verlegepaket der Pflasterelemente zugewandt angeordnet, sodass die Pflasterelemente zur Bearbeitung mit ihren Sichtflächen nach unten auf die Auflage gelegt werden.In one embodiment of the invention, the support is substantially smooth and the profile elements are arranged on or on the support facing the laying package of the paving elements, so that the paving elements are placed for processing with their visible surfaces down on the support.

In einem alternativen Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine im Wesentlichen glatte Deckplatte vorgesehen, an der die Profilelemente angeordnet sind und die auf die auf der Auflage platzierten Pflasterelemente so gelegt werden kann, dass die Profilelemente den Pflasterelementen zugewandt sind. In diesem Fall werden die Pflasterelemente zur Bearbeitung mit ihren Sichtflächen nach oben auf die Auflage gelegt.In an alternative embodiment, a substantially smooth cover plate is provided on which the profile elements are arranged and which can be placed on the patch elements placed on the support so that the profile elements facing the paving elements. In this case, the paving elements are placed for processing with their visible surfaces up on the support.

Die beiden letztgenannten Ausführungsbeispiele können natürlich auch miteinander kombiniert werden, wie dies bereits in Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren erläutert worden ist.Of course, the two last-mentioned embodiments can also be combined with one another, as has already been explained in connection with the method according to the invention.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist wenigstens eine Zwischenplatte zum Stapeln mehrerer Verlegepakete von Pflasterelementen vorgesehen, sodass mehrere Lagen von Verlegepaketen gleichzeitig bearbeitet werden können. Auf diese Weise kann ein sehr hoher Durchsatz der Vorrichtung erzielt werden. Weiter können die Profilelemente entweder frei beweglich angeordnet sein oder fest mit der Auflage bzw. der Deckplatte verbunden sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, at least one intermediate plate is provided for stacking a plurality of laying packages of paving elements, so that a plurality of layers of laying packages can be processed simultaneously. In this way, a very high throughput of the device can be achieved. Next, the profile elements can either be arranged to be freely movable or fixedly connected to the support or the cover plate.

In einer noch weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ferner eine Einrichtung zum Entfernen des gebrochenen Kantenmaterials der Pflasterelemente während des Bearbeitungsvorganges vorgesehen.In a still further embodiment of the invention, a device for removing the broken edge material of the paving elements is also provided during the machining process.

Mit dem Verfahren und der Vorrichtung der Erfindung werden die Pflasterelemente in der Formation eines Verlegepakets bearbeitet. Ein Verlegepaket ist dabei ein Verbund einer Anzahl von Pflasterelementen in einer rechteckigen oder quadratischen Grundform, die maschinell erfassbar ist, um so maschinell und kostengünstig verlegt werden zu können.With the method and apparatus of the invention, the paving elements are processed in the formation of a laying package. A laying package is a composite of a number of paving elements in a rectangular or square basic shape, which can be detected by machine so as to be laid mechanically and inexpensively.

Ein solches Verlegepaket kann als Pflasterelemente Pflastersteine, Platten oder eine Kombination aus Pflastersteinen und Platten enthalten. Zur Begriffsdefinition von Pflastersteinen und Platten wird zum Beispiel auf die Normen DIN EN 1338 "Pflastersteine aus Beton" und DIN EN 1339 "Platten aus Beton" verwiesen, wonach eine Platte aus Beton ein vorgefertigtes Erzeugnis aus Beton ist, dessen Gesamtlänge dividiert durch seine Dicke bzw. Höhe größer als die Zahl 4 ist, und man unter einem Pflasterstein einen Steinkörper versteht, der erheblich kleinflächiger gegenüber seiner Höhe ausgebildet ist und insbesondere ein Verhältnis von Länge zu Höhe kleiner oder gleich der Zahl 4 besitzt.Such a laying package can contain paving stones, slabs or a combination of paving stones and slabs as paving elements. For the definition of paving stones and slabs, reference is made, for example, to the standards DIN EN 1338 "Paving blocks of concrete" and DIN EN 1339 "Slabs of concrete", according to which a concrete slab is a prefabricated concrete product whose total length is divided by its thickness or thickness Height is greater than the number 4, and is understood by a paving stone a stone body, which is considerably smaller area compared to its height and in particular has a ratio of length to height less than or equal to the number 4.

Die Pflasterelemente, d.h. die Pflastersteine und/oder Platten, können insbesondere aus Beton oder Klinker gefertigt sein. Die Erfindung ist aber ebenso auf Natursteine anwendbar.The paving elements, i. the paving stones and / or slabs can be made in particular of concrete or clinker. However, the invention is equally applicable to natural stones.

Das Fugenbild des Verlegepakets wird durch die Fugen zwischen den einzelnen Pflasterelementen bestimmt. Zum Erzeugen einer vorbestimmten Fugenbreite sind die Pflasterelemente üblicherweise mit Abstandselementen an ihren Seitenflächen oder -kanten ausgebildet. Die vorliegende Erfindung ist dabei auf kein spezielles Fugenbild, keine spezielle Fugengröße oder -form und keine spezielle Form oder Anordnung der Abstandselemente beschränkt. Im Allgemeinen verlaufen die Fugen eines Verlegpakets von im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Pflasterelementen alle in zwei zueinander senkrechten Richtungen, welche als Achsen des Fugenbildes bezeichnet werden können.The joint pattern of the laying package is determined by the joints between the individual paver elements. To produce a predetermined joint width, the paving elements are usually formed with spacer elements on their side surfaces or edges. The present invention is limited to no special joint pattern, no special joint size or shape and no special shape or arrangement of the spacer elements. In general, the joints of a laying package of substantially rectangular paving elements all extend in two mutually perpendicular directions, which may be referred to as axes of the joint pattern.

Obige sowie weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung werden aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter, nicht-einschränkender Ausführungsbeispiele unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen besser verständlich. Darin zeigen:

Bezug nehmend auf Fig. 1 wird nun ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Bearbeiten von Pflasterelementen beschrieben.Referring to Fig. 1 Now a first embodiment of a device according to the invention for processing pavement elements will be described.

Die Vorrichtung enthält insbesondere eine Auflage 10, die vorzugsweise eine im Wesentlichen glatte Oberseite aufweist und im Wesentlichen eben ausgebildet und angeordnet ist. Die Auflage 10 ist von einer Umrandung 11 umgeben, die entweder fest mit der Auflage 10 verbunden oder sogar integral mit ihr ausgebildet ist oder als separates und austauschbares Bauteil vorgesehen ist. Die Längen- und Breitenmaße der Umrandung 11 sind dabei etwas größer als jene des zu bearbeitenden Verlegepakets gewählt.In particular, the device contains a support 10, which preferably has a substantially smooth upper side and is substantially planar and arranged. The support 10 is surrounded by a border 11, which is either firmly connected to the support 10 or even integrally formed with it or is provided as a separate and replaceable component. The length and width dimensions of the border 11 are chosen slightly larger than those of the laying package to be processed.

Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, wird auf die Auflage 10 ein Verlegepaket mit einer Anzahl von Pflasterelementen 12 und einem entsprechenden Fugenbild 14 gelegt. Wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet, kann das Verlegepaket Pflasterelemente 12 unterschiedlicher Größen enthalten.As in Fig. 1 shown, a laying package with a number of pavement elements 12 and a corresponding joint pattern 14 is placed on the support 10. As in Fig. 1 indicated, the laying package may contain paving elements 12 of different sizes.

Auf das so platzierte Verlegepaket von Pflasterelementen 12 wird dann eine Deckplatte 16 gelegt, deren Unterseite, d.h. deren den Pflasterelementen 12 zugewandte Seite im Wesentlichen glatt und eben ist. An der Unterseite dieser Deckplatte 16 ist außerdem eine Anordnung von Profilelementen 18 vorgesehen, wobei diese Profilelemente 18 wahlweise lose angeordnet oder fest mit der Deckplatte 16 verbunden sein können. In Fig. 1 ist zu erkennen, dass diese Profilelemente 18 exakt und ausschließlich im Muster des Fugenbildes 14 des Verlegepakets von Pflastersteinen 12 angeordnet sind. Weitere Profilelemente 18 verlaufen natürlich auch parallel zur Zeichenebene in entsprechenden Fugen 14 des Verlegepakets.A cover plate 16 is then placed on the laying package of paving elements 12 so placed, the underside of which, that is, the paving elements 12 facing side is substantially smooth and flat. On the underside of this cover plate 16, an arrangement of profile elements 18 is also provided, these profile elements 18 may optionally be arranged loosely or firmly connected to the cover plate 16. In Fig. 1 It can be seen that these profile elements 18 are arranged exactly and exclusively in the pattern of the joint pattern 14 of the laying package of paving stones 12. Of course, further profile elements 18 also run parallel to the plane of the drawing in corresponding joints 14 of the laying package.

Die Deckplatte 16 kann entweder als separates Bauteil vorgesehen sein oder mit der Auflage 10 der Vorrichtung verbunden sein. Die Deckplatte 16 übt einen Druck auf die Pflasterelemente 12 aus, der variabel einstellbar ist, und begünstigt so die nachfolgend beschriebene Bearbeitung der Pflasterelemente und verhindert ein Wegspringen der Pflasterelemente.The cover plate 16 may either be provided as a separate component or be connected to the support 10 of the device. The cover plate 16 exerts a pressure on the paving elements 12, which is variably adjustable, and thus favors the processing of the paving elements described below and prevents the paving elements from jumping away.

Die Vorrichtung enthält ferner einen Vibrationsgenerator 20, der die Auflage 10 in Vibration versetzen kann. Die Vibration ist zum Beispiel eine Oszillation der Auflage 10 in horizontaler und/oder vertikaler und/oder geneigter Richtung. Der Vibrationsgenerator 20 arbeitet zum Beispiel auf einem elektromechanischen Prinzip oder einem elektromagnetischen Prinzip.The apparatus further includes a vibration generator 20 that can vibrate the overlay 10. The vibration is, for example, an oscillation of the support 10 in the horizontal and / or vertical and / or inclined direction. The vibration generator 20 operates, for example, on an electromechanical principle or an electromagnetic principle.

Obwohl nicht dargestellt, enthält die Vorrichtung vorzugsweise ferner eine Einrichtung, um das während der Bearbeitung anfallende Bruchmaterial der Pflasterelemente zu entfernen. Diese Einrichtung enthält zum Beispiel Löcher in der Auflage 10, die im Muster des Fugenbildes 14 des Verlegepakets angeordnet sind.Although not shown, the apparatus preferably further includes means for removing the breakage of the paving elements during processing. This device contains, for example holes in the support 10, which are arranged in the pattern of the joint image 14 of the laying package.

Zum Bearbeiten der Pflasterelemente 12 eines Verlegepakets, insbesondere zum künstlichen Altern derselben, wird das Verlegepaket von Pflasterelementen 12 zunächst so auf der Auflage 10 platziert, dass die Pflasterelemente 12 sowohl zueinander als auch zu der Umrandung 11 Spiel haben. Die Größe dieses Spiels hängt von der gewünschten Fugenbreite des Verlegepakets ab. Dann wird die Deckplatte 16 mit den daran befestigten Profilelementen 18 auf die Pflasterelemente 12 gesetzt bzw. werden zuerst die Profilelemente 18 und dann die Deckplatte 16 auf das Verlegepaket gesetzt, wobei die Profilelemente 18 in ihrer Anordnung genau dem Fugenbild 14 des Verlegepakets entsprechen.For processing the paving elements 12 of a laying package, in particular for the artificial aging of the same, the laying package of paving elements 12 is first placed on the support 10 so that the paving elements 12 have both to each other and to the border 11 game. The size of this game depends on the desired joint width of the installation package. Then, the cover plate 16 is set with the attached profile elements 18 on the paving elements 12 or first the profile elements 18 and then the cover plate 16 placed on the installation package, the profile elements 18 correspond in their arrangement exactly the joint pattern 14 of the installation package.

Wenn dann der Vibrationsgenerator 20 die Auflage 10 in Vibration versetzt, bewegen sich die Pflasterelemente 12 des Verlegepakets und insbesondere auch relativ zur Auflage 10 und zu den Profilelementen 18. Aufgrund dieser Bewegung stoßen die Ecken und Kanten an der Oberseite der Pflasterelemente 12, d.h. an der Seite ihrer Sichtfläche, gegen die Profilelemente 18 und werden so in unregelmäßiger Weise gebrochen.Then, when the vibration generator 20 causes the support 10 to vibrate, the paving elements 12 of the laying package and in particular also move relative to the support 10 and the profile elements 18. Because of this movement, the corners and edges on the top of the paving elements 12, ie on the Side of their visible surface, against the profile elements 18 and are broken so in an irregular manner.

Durch eine Einstellung des Drucks der Deckplatte 16 auf die Pflasterelemente 12 kann der Bearbeitungsgrad der Ecken und Kanten der Pflasterelemente 12 beeinflusst werden.By adjusting the pressure of the cover plate 16 on the paving elements 12, the degree of processing of the corners and edges of the paving elements 12 can be influenced.

Die Ecken und Kanten an der Unterseite der Pflasterelemente 12 werden dagegen nicht gebrochen, da die Pflasterelemente 12 selbst nicht gegeneinander stoßen und auf der Auflage 10 der Vorrichtung keine Profilelemente 18 vorgesehen sind. Außerdem wird keine der Seitenflächen der Pflasterelemente 12 bei diesem Prozess verkratzt, da die Deckplatte 16 und die Auflage 10 im Wesentlichen glatte Oberflächen in Kontakt mit der Oberseite bzw. der Unterseite der Pflasterelemente 12 aufweisen und die Pflasterelemente 12 an den übrigen vier Seitenflächen (im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu Auflage 10 und Deckplatte 16) kaum oder sogar keine Kontaktierung erfahren. Dies gilt insbesondere auch für die Sichtflächen der Pflasterelemente 12.On the other hand, the corners and edges on the underside of the paving elements 12 are not broken, since the paving elements 12 themselves do not abut one another and no profile elements 18 are provided on the support 10 of the device. In addition, none of the side surfaces of the paving elements 12 are scratched in this process because the cover plate 16 and the support 10 have substantially smooth surfaces in contact with the top and bottom of the paving elements 12 and the paving elements 12 on the remaining four side surfaces (substantially perpendicular to support 10 and cover plate 16) experience little or no contact. This applies in particular also to the visible surfaces of the paving elements 12.

Als Modifikation dieses ersten Ausführungsbeispiels ist es auch möglich, nicht die Auflage 10 in Vibration zu versetzen, sondern die Deckplatte 16 mit den daran angebrachten Profilelementen 18. Außerdem können natürlich auch sowohl die Auflage 10 als auch die Deckplatte 16 in Vibration versetzt werden.As a modification of this first embodiment, it is also possible not to put the pad 10 in vibration, but the cover plate 16 with the attached profile elements 18. In addition, of course, both the support 10 and the cover plate 16 are vibrated.

Als weitere Modifikation kann die Umrandung 11 für das Verlegepaket auch an der Deckplatte 16 nach unten ragend vorgesehen sein. Ebenso ist es möglich, jeweils eine Umrandung 11 an der Auflage 10 und an der Deckplatte 16 anzubringen.As a further modification, the border 11 may also be provided for the laying package projecting downwardly on the cover plate 16. It is also possible to attach in each case a border 11 on the support 10 and on the cover plate 16.

Es wird nun unter Bezug auf Fig. 2 ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung näher erläutert. Dabei sind gleiche bzw. analoge Komponenten mit den gleichen Bezugsziffern wie im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel versehen.It will now be referring to Fig. 2 A second embodiment of the invention explained in more detail. The same or analogous components are provided with the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment.

Das vorliegende Ausführungsbeispiel unterscheidet sich von dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel dadurch, dass die Pflasterelemente 12 des Verlegepakets mit ihren Sichtflächen nach unten auf der Auflage 10 platziert werden und die Profilelemente 18 dementsprechend auf bzw. an der Auflage 10 angeordnet sind. In diesem Fall muss die Oberfläche der Auflage im Wesentlichen glatt sein und ist vorzugsweise auch im Wesentlichen eben ausgebildet und angeordnet.The present embodiment is different from that in FIG Fig. 1 shown embodiment in that the paving elements 12 of the laying package are placed with their visible surfaces down on the support 10 and the profile elements 18 are accordingly arranged on or on the support 10. In In this case, the surface of the support must be substantially smooth and is preferably also substantially planar and arranged.

Alle übrigen Merkmale, Komponenten und Funktionsweisen entsprechen jenen des oben beschriebenen ersten Ausführungsbeispiels.All other features, components and operations correspond to those of the first embodiment described above.

Als Modifikation dieses zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels ist es auch möglich, nicht die Auflage 10 in Vibration zu versetzen, sondern die lose auf der Auflage 10 vorgesehenen Profilelemente 18.As a modification of this second embodiment, it is also possible not to put the support 10 in vibration, but the profile elements 18 loosely provided on the support 10.

Obwohl nicht dargestellt, können die beiden Ausführungsbeispiele von Fig. 1 und 2 (einschließlich der genannten Varianten) auch miteinander kombiniert werden.Although not shown, the two embodiments of FIG Fig. 1 and 2 (including the mentioned variants) can also be combined with each other.

Bei dieser Variante sind sowohl die Auflage 10 als auch die Deckplatte 16 mit Profilelementen 18 versehen, sodass die Unterseite und die Oberseite der auf der Auflage 10 platzierten Pflasterelemente 12 des Verlegepakets ein künstlich gealtertes Aussehen erhalten. Es ist dann möglich, bei diesen so behandelten Pflasterelementen 12 wahlweise die Oberseite oder die Unterseite als Sichtfläche zu verwenden.In this variant, both the support 10 and the cover plate 16 are provided with profile elements 18, so that the underside and the top of the placed on the support 10 paving elements 12 of the installation package get an artificially aged appearance. It is then possible to use either the top or the bottom as a visible surface in these paving elements 12 thus treated.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung im Schnitt. Gleiche bzw. analoge Komponenten sind wieder mit den gleichen Bezugsziffern wie im ersten und zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel versehen. Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of a device according to the invention in section. Same or analogous components are again provided with the same reference numerals as in the first and second embodiments.

Die vorliegende Ausführungsform basiert auf einer Kombination der ersten und zweiten Ausführungsbeispiele derart, dass mit der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Vorrichtung zwei Lagen von Verlegepaketen von Pflasterelementen 12 gleichzeitig bearbeitet werden können.The present embodiment is based on a combination of the first and second embodiments such that with the in Fig. 3 device shown two layers of laying packages of paving elements 12 can be processed simultaneously.

Ausgehend von der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Vorrichtung wird die auf Auflage 10 mit den Profilelementen 18 platzierte Anordnung von Pflasterelementen 12 von einer Zwischenplatte 22 abgedeckt. Diese Zwischenplatte 22 bildet einerseits eine Deckplatte für das erste Verlegepaket im Sinne des obigen zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels und andererseits eine Auflage für das zweite Verlegepaket (vorzugsweise, aber nicht notwendigerweise identisch zum ersten Verlegepaket) von Pflasterelementen 12 im Sinne des obigen ersten Ausführungsbeispiels. Diese zweite Lage von Pflasterelementen 12 wird schließlich von einer Deckplatte 16 mit daran angebrachten Profilelementen 18 abgedeckt.Starting from the in Fig. 2 The apparatus shown on pad 10 with the profile elements 18 arrangement of paving elements 12 is covered by an intermediate plate 22. This intermediate plate 22 forms on the one hand a cover plate for the first installation package in the sense of the above second embodiment and on the other hand, a support for the second laying package (preferably, but not necessarily identical to the first laying package) of paving elements 12 in the sense of the above first embodiment. This second layer of paving elements 12 is finally covered by a cover plate 16 with profile elements 18 attached thereto.

Um ein ausreichendes Bearbeitungsmaß der Pflasterelemente 12 in beiden Verlegepaketen zu erreichen, sind in dieser Ausführungsform ein erster Vibrationsgenerator 20a für die Auflage 10 für das untere Verlegepaket sowie ein zweiter Vibrationsgenerator 20b für die Deckplatte 16 für das obere Verlegepaket vorgesehen. Die auf beiden Seiten glatte Zwischendecke 22 kann entweder lose eingefügt oder fest angebracht sein.In order to achieve a sufficient degree of processing of the paving elements 12 in both laying packages, a first vibration generator 20a for the support 10 for the lower laying package and a second vibration generator 20b for the cover plate 16 for the upper laying package are provided in this embodiment. The smooth intermediate ceiling 22 on both sides can either be inserted loosely or firmly attached.

Bei dem in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine Umrandung für das obere Verlegepaket von Pflasterelementen 12 an der Zwischenplatte 22 ausgebildet. Alternativ wird diese Umrandung an der Deckplatte 16 nach unten ragend angebracht.At the in Fig. 3 illustrated embodiment, a border for the upper laying package of paving elements 12 is formed on the intermediate plate 22. Alternatively, this border is attached to the cover plate 16 protruding downwards.

Mit dieser Vorrichtung können in vorteilhafter Weise zwei Verlegepakete gleichzeitig mechanisch bearbeitet werden.With this device advantageously two laying packages can be machined simultaneously.

Anstelle der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Kombination von Vorrichtungen gemäß dem ersten und dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel können alternativ auch zwei Vorrichtungen gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel oder zwei Vorrichtungen gemäß dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel in analoger Weise kombiniert werden, um zwei Verlegepakete von Pflasterelementen gleichzeitig bearbeiten zu können.Instead of in Fig. 3 Alternatively, two devices according to the first embodiment or two devices according to the second embodiment may be combined in an analogous manner in order to be able to process two laying packages of paving elements at the same time, combination of devices according to the first and the second embodiment shown.

Außerdem können auch bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel von Fig. 3 jeweils die Oberseiten und die Unterseiten der Pflasterelemente 12 der Verlegepakete 10 behandelt werden, wenn sowohl die Auflage 10 und die Deckplatte 16 als auch beidseitig die Zwischenplatte 22 mit Profilelementen 18 versehen sind.In addition, in the embodiment of Fig. 3 each of the tops and bottoms of the paving elements 12 of the laying packages 10 are treated when both the support 10 and the cover plate 16 and both sides of the intermediate plate 22 are provided with profile elements 18.

Grundsätzlich ist es auch möglich, mehr als zwei Verlegepakete gleichzeitig zu bearbeiten; allerdings wird die Relativbewegung der Pflasterelemente 12 mit zunehmender Anzahl von Verlegepaketen und Auflagen 10 immer schwieriger erreicht werden.In principle, it is also possible to process more than two installation packages at the same time; However, the relative movement of the paving elements 12 with increasing number of laying packages and pads 10 will be achieved more difficult.

Bezug nehmend auf Fig. 4 und 5 wird nun ein weiteres nicht erfindungsgemäßen Beispiel im Detail beschrieben. Dabei sind gleiche bzw. analoge Komponenten wieder mit den gleichen Bezugsziffern wie in den vorherigen Ausführungsbeispielen gekennzeichnet.Referring to 4 and 5 Now, another example not according to the invention will be described in detail. The same or analog components are again identified with the same reference numerals as in the previous embodiments.

Bei diesem Beispiel werden die Pflasterelemente 12 mit ihren zu bearbeitenden Sichtflächen nach oben auf der Auflage 10 platziert. Wie bei den vorherigen Ausführungsbeispielen ist auch hier die Auflage 10 mit einer Umrandung 11 versehen, innerhalb der die Pflasterelemente 12 eines Verlegepakets mit Spiel angeordnet werden können. Wie in Fig. 4 angedeutet, ist die Auflage 10 elastisch gelagert und kann über geeignete Vibrationsgeneratoren (z.B. Rüttler) 20 in Vibrationen versetzt werden.In this example , the paving elements 12 are placed with their visible surfaces to be worked up on the support 10. As in the previous embodiments, the support 10 is provided with a border 11, within which the paving elements 12 of a laying package with game can be arranged. As in Fig. 4 indicated, the support 10 is elastically mounted and can be added via suitable vibration generators (eg vibrator) 20 in vibration.

Wie in Fig. 5 veranschaulicht, können bevorzugt mehrere Verlegepakete von Pflasterelementen 12 hintereinander auf der Auflage 10 platziert werden und in der Art eines Förderbandes transportiert werden. Auf diese Weise lässt sich ein höherer Durchsatz von zu bearbeitenden Verlegepaketen erzielen, wodurch die Produktions- bzw. Bearbeitungskosten gesenkt werden können.As in Fig. 5 illustrated, a plurality of laying packages of paving elements 12 can be placed in succession on the support 10 and transported in the manner of a conveyor belt. In this way, a higher throughput of laying packages to be processed can be achieved, whereby the production or processing costs can be reduced.

Auf die auf der Auflage 10 angeordneten Pflasterelemente 12 der Verlegepakete wird ein Rollkörper 22 gesetzt, der eine im Wesentlichen glatte Umfangsfläche aufweist, an welcher die Vielzahl von Profilelementen 18 entsprechend dem Fugenbild 14 der Verlegpakete angebracht ist. Der Rollkörper 22 ist in einem elastisch gelagerten Rahmen 24 drehbar gelagert und mit Hilfe eines Antriebsmotors 26 um seine Längsachse drehbar. An dem Rahmen 24 sind außerdem weitere Vibrationsgeneratoren 28 vorgesehen, sodass auch der Rahmen 24 und damit der Rollkörper 22 mit den Profilelementen 18 in Vibrationen versetzt werden kann.On the patch 10 arranged on the patch elements 12 of the laying packages a rolling body 22 is set, which has a substantially smooth peripheral surface on which the plurality of profile elements 18 is mounted corresponding to the joint image 14 of the laying packages. The rolling body 22 is rotatably mounted in an elastically mounted frame 24 and rotatable about its longitudinal axis by means of a drive motor 26. On the frame 24 further vibration generators 28 are also provided, so that the frame 24 and thus the rolling body 22 can be added to the profile elements 18 in vibration.

Wie in Fig. 5 angedeutet, bewegt sich die Auflage 10 relativ zu dem Rollkörper 22 (Pfeile 30). Vorzugsweise wird die Auflage 10 mit den darauf angeordneten Pflasterelementen 12 in der Art eines Förderbandes unter dem ortsfest angebrachten Rollkörper 22 hindurch bewegt. Die Relativbewegungsrichtung zwischen Auflage 10 und Rollkörper 22 ist dabei im Wesentlichen parallel zu einer Achse des Fugenbildes 14 der Verlegepakete. Bei einer entsprechenden Abstimmung der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Pflasterelemente 12 und der Rotationsgeschwindigkeit des Rollkörpers 22 greifen die an der Umfangsfläche des Rollkörpers 22 vorgesehenen Profilelemente 18 jeweils in die Fugen 14 der Verlegepakete. Durch die Vibration der Auflage 10 und/oder des Rollkörpers 22 werden dann die Ecken und Kanten der Pflasterelemente 12 in der oben erläuterten Weise an der Seite ihrer Sichtfläche gebrochen.As in Fig. 5 indicated, the pad 10 moves relative to the rolling body 22 (arrows 30). Preferably, the support 10 is moved with the patch elements 12 disposed thereon in the manner of a conveyor belt under the stationary mounted roller body 22 therethrough. The relative direction of movement between the support 10 and the rolling body 22 is substantially parallel to an axis of the joint image 14 of the laying packages. With a corresponding coordination of the transport speed of the paving elements 12 and the rotational speed of the rolling body 22, the profile elements 18 provided on the circumferential surface of the rolling body 22 engage in the joints 14 of the laying packages, respectively. Due to the vibration of the support 10 and / or the rolling body 22, the corners and edges of the paving elements 12 are then broken in the manner explained above on the side of their visible surface.

Wie weiter in Fig. 5 angedeutet, sind vorzugsweise mehrere Rollkörper 22 in der Relativbewegungsrichtung 30 hintereinander und im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander angeordnet. Dabei können die Profilelemente 18 der verschiedenen Rollkörper 22 auch unterschiedlich zueinander ausgebildet sein, um das Brechen der Ecken und Kanten der Pflasterelemente 12 gezielt zu beeinflussen und zum Beispiel im Fortgang des Bearbeitungsvorganges immer stärker auszuprägen. Durch Zuschalten bzw. Entfernen einzelner Rollkörper 22 kann bei dieser Ausführungsform zudem der Bearbeitungsgrad der Pflasterelemente 12 eingestellt werden.As in further Fig. 5 indicated, preferably a plurality of rolling elements 22 in the relative direction of movement 30 are arranged one behind the other and substantially parallel to each other. In this case, the profile elements 18 of the different rolling elements 22 may also be designed differently from one another in order to influence the breaking of the corners and edges of the paving elements 12 in a targeted manner and to impress them more and more, for example, in the course of the machining process. By adding or removing individual rolling elements 22, the degree of processing of the paving elements 12 can also be adjusted in this embodiment.

Auf Wunsch können auch bei diesem Beispiel zusätzliche Profilelemente auf der Auflage 10 angebracht werden, um die Pflasterelemente beidseitig zu bearbeiten. Das gleichzeitige Bearbeiten mehrerer Lagen von Pflasterelementen 12 ist bei dem Beispiel mit den Rollkörpern 22 aber nicht vorgesehen.If desired, additional profile elements can also be applied to the support 10 in this example in order to machine the paving elements on both sides. The simultaneous processing of multiple layers of paving elements 12 is not provided in the example with the rolling elements 22.
