Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine fahrbare Vorrichtung für das Ausbringen von Füllgut gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a mobile device for the discharge of filling material according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei dem Bau eines Kunstrasenplatzes sind verschiedene Arbeitsschritte zu erledigen. Zunächst ist natürlich der Baugrund entsprechend einzuebnen, damit auf diesem der Kunstrasen ausgelegt werden kann. Der Kunstrasen wird dabei als Bahnenware nebeneinander verlegt und gegebenenfalls auch miteinander verbunden. Allerdings besteht grundsätzlich die Gefahr, dass diese Bahnenware, da diese verhältnismäßig leicht ist, im Spielbetrieb (zum Beispiel bei Feldhockey oder Fussball) verrutscht.When constructing an artificial turf pitch, various work steps have to be taken. First, of course, the ground is leveled accordingly, so that the artificial turf can be designed on this. The artificial turf is laid side by side as sheet material and possibly also connected to each other. However, there is a risk that these Web goods, since this is relatively easy, in game operation (for example, field hockey or football) slipped.

Es ist daher bekannt mit fahrbaren Vorrichtungen, wie sie eingangs beschrieben sind, Füllgut auf dem Kunstrasenplatz auszubringen. Als Füllgut wird dabei Sand und/oder Gummigranulat verwendet, wobei in dem jeweiligen Mischungsverhältnis von Sand und Gummigranulat die Eigenschaften der Spieloberfläche einstellbar sind. Darüberhinaus sorgt das Gewicht des aufgebrachten Füllgutes für eine entsprechende Fixierung des Kunstrasens, ein Verrutschen des Kunstrasens wird damit zuverlässig vermieden.It is therefore known with mobile devices, as described above, deploy contents on the artificial turf field. As a product while sand and / or rubber granulate is used, wherein the properties of the game surface are adjustable in the respective mixing ratio of sand and rubber granules. In addition, the weight of the applied filling ensures a corresponding fixation of the artificial turf, slipping of the artificial turf is thus reliably avoided.

Die EP 1 816 262 zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum verfüllen und/oder zur Pflege von Kunstrasen. Die gezeigte Vorrichtung weist jedoch lediglich eine Bewegungsrichtung auf, die Anordnung des ausbringen Bereiches ist zudem im vorderen Bereich der Vorrichtung vorgesehen.The EP 1 816 262 shows a device for filling and / or care of artificial turf. However, the device shown has only one direction of movement, the arrangement of the deploying area is also provided in the front region of the device.

Auch die DE 33 40 846 A1 beschreibt ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbringen von Sand auf Kunstrasenmatten. Der Vorratsbehälter ist hierin außermittig angeordnet, die Vorrichtung verfügt ebenfalls über lediglich eine Bewegungsrichtung.Also the DE 33 40 846 A1 describes a method and apparatus for applying sand to artificial grass mats. The reservoir is arranged off-center here, the device also has only one direction of movement.

Das Dokument JPS 6393904A zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum Ausbringen von Sand, welche in beiden Richtungen verwendbar ist.The document JPS 6393904A shows a device for spreading sand, which is usable in both directions.

Das Dokument JP 2003 328 312 A zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum Ausbringen von Sand oder ähnlichen Materialien, welche mit einer Abdeckung versehen ist. Die Vorrichtung ist dazu ausgebildet, den Sand oder das ähnliche Material zwischen zwei Achsen der Vorrichtung auszubringen.The document JP 2003 328 312 A shows a device for spreading sand or similar materials, which is provided with a cover. The device is adapted to deploy the sand or similar material between two axes of the device.

Um eine möglichst homogene Spielfläche zu erhalten, wird natürlich ein konstantes Flächengewicht angestrebt.In order to obtain a homogeneous playing surface, of course, a constant basis weight is sought.

Für das Aufbringen des Füllgutes sind die eingangs beschriebenen Vorrichtungen vorgesehen. Entlang der Längs- oder Querachse werden dann in parallelen Bahnen durch die Vorrichtung das Füllgut ausgebracht und in geeigneter Weise auf den Kunstrasen verteilt. Am Ende einer Bahn, zum Beispiel am Ende des Spielfeldes oder an seinen Seitenrändern, stellt sich nun das Problem, dass die fahrbare Vorrichtung zu wenden hat, um dann in der bevorzugten Vorwärtsfahrtrichtung das weitere Füllgut bei der nächsten Bahn auszubringen. Allerdings ist auf den noch fragilen, weil nicht verfüllten Kunstrasenplätzen das Wenden mit den traktorähnlichen Fahrzeugen mit kleinem Radius nicht empfehlenswert, da dies zu einer erheblichen Zugbeanspruchung des Kunstrasenplatzes führen kann, oder aber der noch nicht beschwerte Kunstrasen wird durch den Wendevorgang verschoben.For the application of the filling material, the devices described above are provided. Along the longitudinal or transverse axis then the contents are discharged in parallel paths through the device and distributed in a suitable manner on the artificial turf. At the end of a path, for example at the end of the playing field or at its side edges, now the problem arises that the mobile device has to turn, and then deploy in the preferred forward direction of the further contents at the next track. However, turning on the tractor-like vehicles with a small radius is not recommended on the still fragile, because not filled artificial grass pitches, as this can lead to a significant tensile stress of the artificial turf field, or the not yet weighted artificial turf is postponed by the turning process.

Um die vorstehenden Probleme zu vermeiden, geht man in der Praxis davon aus, entweder einen sehr großen Wendebogen (wenn möglich) zu fahren, oder auf der soeben ausgebrachten Bahn im Rückwärtsgang, ohne Ausbringen von Füllgut, wieder zurückzufahren, um dann in gleicher Weise, versetzt die nächste Bahn abzufahren.In order to avoid the above problems, it is assumed in practice either to drive a very large turning arc (if possible), or to drive back on the path just laid out in reverse, without discharging filling material, Then, in the same way, the next train moves off.

Hieraus resultiert ein sehr hoher Zeitaufwand für das Ausbringen des Füllgutes auf dem Kunstrasenplatz und damit verbunden entsprechend hohe Herstellungskosten eines so zu bearbeitenden Kunstrasenplatzes.This results in a very high amount of time for the application of the filling material on the artificial turf pitch and, associated with it, correspondingly high production costs of an artificial turf pitch to be processed in this way.

Die Erfindung hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Herstellungskosten eines Kunstrasenplatzes, welcher mit einer Vorrichtung wie eingangs beschrieben erstellt wird, zu reduzieren.The invention has set itself the task of reducing the manufacturing cost of an artificial turf pitch, which is created with a device as described above.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht die Erfindung aus von einer fahrbaren Vorrichtung wie eingangs beschrieben und schlägt vor, dass das Ausbringen des Füllgutes wahlweise in Vorwärts- und/oder Rückwärtsfahrtrichtung der Vorrichtung erfolgt und sich unterhalb der Vorrichtung ein Ausbringbereich befindet, in welchen das Füllgut von der Ausbringvorrichtung ausgebracht wird und in der jeweiligen Fahrtrichtung vor dem Ausbringbereich eine Ausrichteinrichtung für die Halme des Kunstrasens und in der jeweiligen Fahrtrichtung hinter dem Ausbringbereich eine Verteileinrichtung für das möglichst gleichmäßige Verteilen des Füllgutes vorgesehen ist.To achieve this object, the invention is based on a mobile device as described above and proposes that the application of the filling material takes place either in the forward and / or reverse direction of the device and below the device is an application area in which the contents of the Application device is applied and in the respective direction of travel in front of the application area an alignment device for the blades of the artificial turf and in the respective direction of travel behind the dispensing area a distributor for the most even distribution of the contents is provided.

Gemäß manchen Ausführungen, welche im Stand der Technik bekannt sind, ist ein Ausbringen des Füllgutes nur in der Vorwärtsrichtung vorgesehen. Dies führt zu den oben geschilderten Problemen. Erfindungsgemäß wird jetzt vorgeschlagen, dass das Ausbringen des Füllgutes sowohl in Vorwärts- wie auch in Rückwärtsfahrtrichtung in gleicher Weise möglich ist. Am Ende der Bahn ist die erfindungsgemäße fahrbare Vorrichtung nur in wenigen spitzwinkligen Zügen auf die neue Bahn zu positionieren und fährt dann, unter Ausbringung des Füllgutes, in gleicher Weise wie bei der Vorwärtsfahrt, zurück auf die Startseite. Dort wird dann die fahrbare Vorrichtung wieder auf die nächste neue Bahn gesetzt, wobei geschickterweise bei den Rangiervorgängen ein Ausbringen des Füllgutes unterbleibt. Der wesentliche Vorzug der Erfindung im Vergleich zu Vorrichtungen, welche nur in einer Richtung verwendbar sind, liegt also darin, dass gezielt während der Vorwärts- und/oder Rückwärtsfahrt wahlweise das Füllgut ausgebracht werden kann und damit im Stand der Technik notwendige Leerfahrten oder aufwendige Wendefahrten vermieden werden, wodurch die Effizienz mit der erfindungsgemäßen fahrbaren Vorrichtung erheblich steigt. Ein Wenden der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist nicht notwendig.According to some embodiments, which are known in the art, an application of the contents is provided only in the forward direction. This leads to the problems described above. According to the invention it is now proposed that the application of the filling material in both the forward and reverse direction in the same way is possible. At the end of the web, the mobile device according to the invention is only in a few acute-angled trains on the new train to position and then moves, with application of the contents, in the same manner as in the forward drive back to the start page. There, the mobile device is then set back to the next new lane, where cleverly at the Rangiervorgängen a spreading of the filling material is omitted. The essential advantage of the invention compared to devices which can be used only in one direction, therefore lies in the fact that selectively during the forward and / or reverse drive the contents can be applied and thus avoided in the prior art necessary empty trips or complex turning trips be, whereby the efficiency increases significantly with the mobile device according to the invention. A turning of the Device according to the invention is not necessary.

Bevorzugt ist bei einer fahrbaren Vorrichtung für das Ausbringen von Füllgut auf einem Kunstrasenplatz vorgesehen, dass die Vorrichtung einen Vorratsbehälter für das Füllgut besitzt und in einem Ausbringbereich ein Ausbringen des Füllgutes erfolgt, wobei in einem ersten Bereich, welcher in einer ersten Fahrtrichtung vor dem Ausbringbereich ist, die Halme des Kunstrasens aufgerichtet und in einem zweiten Bereich, welcher in der ersten Fahrtrichtung hinter dem Ausbringbereich ist, das ausgebrachte Füllgut verteilt wird und in einer zweiten, zur ersten Fahrtrichtung entgegengesetzten Fahrtrichtung, die beiden Bereiche relativ zur Vorrichtung wechseln. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass sowohl bei der (ersten) Vorwärtsfahrt, wie auch bei der dazu entgegengesetzten (zweiten) Rückwärtsfahrt, jeweils an der Vorrichtung bezüglich der jeweiligen Fahrtrichtung im Einsatz befindlichen Funktionen, die in den jeweiligen ersten und zweiten Bereich eingesetzt werden, wechseln. Dadurch wird unabhängig von Vor- oder Rückwärtsfahrt das gleiche Ergebnis erzielt.Preferably, it is provided in a mobile device for the discharge of filling material on an artificial turf pitch that the device has a reservoir for the contents and in a dispensing area a spreading of the filling takes place, wherein in a first region which is in a first direction of travel before the application area , erected the stalks of the artificial turf and in a second area, which is in the first direction of travel behind the Ausbringbereich, the discharged contents is distributed and in a second, opposite to the first direction of travel, the two areas relative to the device. This ensures that both in the (first) forward drive, as well as in the opposite (second) reverse drive, respectively on the device with respect to the respective direction of travel in use functions that are used in the respective first and second area change. As a result, the same result is achieved regardless of forward or reverse.

Ein wesentlicher Vorzug der Erfindung liegt darin, dass mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagenen Vorrichtung das Ausbringen des Füllgutes in Vorwärts- wie auch in Rückwärtsfahrrichtung mit möglichst gleicher Qualität erfolgt. Ziel ist es, einen möglichst homogenen Kunstrasenplatz zu realisieren. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung ist es möglich, mit hoher Effizienz und zeitsparend das Füllgut in gleichbleibender Qualität (zum Beispiel Flächengwicht oder Zusammensetzung) auf dem Kunstrasenplatz auszubringen, wobei die Art und Weise wie das Füllgut ausgebracht wird, in beiden Richtungen, also in Rückwärts- oder Vorwärtsrichtung bezogen auf die normale Fahrtrichtung, möglichst gleich ist. Geschickterweise resultiert hieraus ein zumindest funktional (also erfindungsgemäß nicht zwingend, aber auch in einer erfindungsgemäßen Variante vorgesehene symmetrische Konstruktion) symmetrischer Aufbau der fahrbaren Vorrichtung, um, egal in welche Richtung die Vorrichtung bewegt wird, die gleichen Arbeitsergebnisse zu erzielen. Die Qualität des Arbeitsergebnisses wird zum Beispiel in einem gleichmäßigen Flächengewicht über der Fläche des Kunstrasenplatzes angesehen beziehungsweise in einer homogenen Höhe des eingebrachten Füllgutes auf dem Platz. Auch der Schichtenaufbau des aufgebrachten Füllgutes ist ein Qualitätsmerkmal, da dadurch die Spiel- und Laufeigenschaften entsprechend veränderbar sind. In der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung wird erreicht, dass diese Eigenschaften und Qualitäten sowohl bei der Vorwärtsfahrtrichtung wie auch bei der Rückwärtsfahrtrichtung möglichst gleich, also (mindestens fast) identisch sind.An essential advantage of the invention lies in the fact that with the aid of the device proposed according to the invention, the application of the contents in forward as well as in reverse direction takes place with the same quality as possible. The aim is to realize a homogeneous artificial turf pitch. With the arrangement according to the invention, it is possible with high efficiency and time-saving to deploy the contents in constant quality (for example, area weight or composition) on the artificial turf pitch, the manner in which the filling material is applied, in both directions, ie in reverse or Forward direction relative to the normal direction, as equal as possible. Cleverly this results in an at least functional (ie not according to the invention mandatory, but also provided in a variant according to the invention symmetrical construction) symmetrical structure of the mobile device in order, no matter in which direction the device is moved to achieve the same work results. The quality of the work result is considered, for example, in a uniform basis weight over the surface of the artificial turf pitch or in a homogeneous height of the introduced contents on the court. The layer structure of the applied filling material is a quality feature, as this the play and running properties are changed accordingly. In the arrangement according to the invention it is achieved that these properties and qualities are as equal as possible, ie (at least almost) identical both in the forward direction of travel and in the reverse direction of travel.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass sich unterhalb der Vorrichtung ein Ausbringbereich befindet, in welchen das Füllgut von der Ausbringvorrichtung ausgebracht wird und sich in der jeweiligen Fahrtrichtung vor dem Ausbringbereich eine Aufrichteinrichtung für die Halme des Kunstrasens und in der jeweiligen Fahrtrichtung hinter dem Ausbringbereich eine Verteileinrichtung für das möglichst gleichmäßige Verteilen des Füllgutes vorgesehen ist. Der Pfiff der Erfindung liegt darin, dass sie unabhängig von der Fahrtrichtung, also ob in der bevorzugten Vorwärts- oder Rückwärtsfahrtrichtung, durch die fahrbare Vorrichtung immer die relativ gleiche Bearbeitung des Kunstrasenplatzes erfolgt. So ist es nach dem Transport des Kunstrasens notwendig, die, aufgrund der zusammengerollten Bahnware, niedergedrückten Halme vor dem Einbringen des Füllgutes aufzurichten. Dazu dient die hier vorgeschlagene Aufrichteinrichtung. Hernach erfolgt dann das Ausbringen des Füllgutes zwischen den hochstehenden Halmen. Das als Schüttgut vorliegende Füllgut (Sand und/oder Gummigranulat) liegt aber dann zunächst im oberen Bereich des Kunstrasens, also am freien Ende der Halme auf und wird dann durch die Verteileinrichtung homogen zwischen die Halme im Florbereich verteilt.According to the invention, there is provided below the device an application area in which the filling material is discharged from the dispensing device and in the respective direction of travel before the application area a righting device for the blades of the artificial turf and in the respective direction of travel behind the application area a distributor for the as even as possible distribution of the contents is provided. The whistle of the invention is that regardless of the direction of travel, so whether in the preferred forward or reverse direction, by the mobile device always takes place the relatively same processing of artificial turf. So it is necessary after the transport of the artificial turf, which, due to the rolled-up railway goods, erect depressed stalks before the introduction of the filling material. This purpose is served by the erecting device proposed here. Afterwards, then the spreading of the contents between the high stalks takes place. However, the bulk material (sand and / or rubber granulate) present as bulk material is initially located in the upper region of the synthetic turf, ie at the free end of the blades, and then passes through the distributor device distributed homogeneously between the stalks in the flor area.

Unter dem Begriff "verteilen" wird im Sinne dieser Erfindung sowohl ein Verteilen in der Fläche des Kunstrasenplatzes, also in einer im Wesentlichen horizontalen Ebene, als aber auch ein Verteilen in der Vertikalen, das heißt, ein Einbetten des Füllgutes im Florbereich des Kunstrasens, wahlweise, verstanden.For the purposes of this invention, the term "distributing" means either distributing in the surface of the artificial turf field, ie in a substantially horizontal plane, but also distributing in the vertical direction, that is to say embedding the filling material in the pile region of the synthetic turf , Understood.

Im Sinne der Erfindung wird auch eine Anordnung unterhalb der Vorrichtung angesehen, bei welcher sich der Ausbringbereich seitlich neben der Vorrichtung, also zum Beispiel außerhalb der durch die Räder definierte Spur befindet.For the purposes of the invention, an arrangement below the device is also considered, in which the dispensing area is located laterally next to the device, that is, for example, outside the track defined by the wheels.

Kunstruktiv bilden sich hierzu nun mehrere Möglichkeiten an. Es ist zum Beispiel möglich, die Aufrichteinrichtung und die Verteileinrichtung unterschiedlich zu realisieren und mit einer entsprechenden Anheb-Absenk-Mechanik, in Abhängigkeit der Bewegungsrichtung (Vorwärts- oder Rückwärtsfahrtrichtung) die jeweiligen auf die Aufrichtaufgabe oder Verteilaufgabe spezialisierten Baugruppen auf den Kunstrasen abzusenken und zur Bearbeitung einzusetzen. Hieraus resultiert, dass vor und hinter dem Ausbringbereich zwei unterschiedliche Baugruppen, nämlich die Aufrichteinrichtung und die Verteileinrichtung vorzusehen sind und natürlich eine so ausgestaltete erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zwei Aufrichteinrichtungen und zwei Verteileinrichtungen besitzt.Kunstruktiv now form several possibilities for this. It is possible, for example, to realize the erecting device and the distributor differently and with a corresponding raising-lowering mechanism, depending on the direction of movement (forward or reverse direction) to lower the respective specializing in Aufrichtaufgabe or task distribution assemblies on the artificial turf and for processing use. This results in that two different components, namely the erector and the distributor are provided in front of and behind the dispensing area and of course has a device according to the invention designed in this way two erecting devices and two distribution devices.

In einer Weiterentwicklung der Erfindung wird vorgesehen, dass die Aufrichteinrichtung und die Verteileinrichtung im Wesentlichen gleich aufgebaut sind und so multifunktionabel sind.In a further development of the invention it is provided that the erector and the distributor are constructed substantially the same and are thus multifunctional.

In einer weiteren erfindungsgemäßen Variante ist vorgesehen, dass sich vor und hinter dem Ausbringbereich mindestens je ein Borstenträger mit Borsten befindet. Dieser Borstenträger mit Borsten bildet in einer ersten Variante die Aufrichteinrichtung beziehungsweise die Verteileinrichtung, und stellt somit eine identische Baugruppe für die verschiedenen Aufgaben dar. Erfindungsgemäß ist es aber auch möglich, einer verhältnismäßig spezialisierten Aufrichteinrichtung beziehungsweise Verteileinrichtung noch zusätzlich einen Borstenträger mit Borsten zuzuordnen und so zum Beispiel den Aufrichtvorgang beziehungsweise den Verteilvorgang besser zu unterstützen.In a further variant according to the invention, it is provided that at least one respective bristle carrier with bristles is located in front of and behind the dispensing area. This bristle carrier with In a first variant, bristles form the erecting device or the distributing device, and thus represent an identical subassembly for the various tasks. According to the invention, however, it is also possible to additionally assign a bristle carrier with bristles to a relatively specialized erecting device or distributing device and thus, for example, the erecting process or better support the distribution process.

Die Borsten sind an dem Borstenträger so angeordnet, dass das freie Ende der Borsten dem Kunstrasen zugewandt ist. Durch die Länge der Borsten, deren Stellung zu den Halmen (deren Höhenlagen) sowie deren Steifigkeit beziehungsweise deren Biegeelastizität ist das Zusammenwirken der Borsten während des Aufrichtens der Halme oder beim Verteilen des Füllgutes optimierbar, wodurch ein möglichst gutes Ergebnis sowohl bei der Vorwärtsfahrt wie bei der Rückwärtsfahrt der fahrbaren Vorrichtung resultiert.The bristles are arranged on the bristle carrier so that the free end of the bristles faces the artificial turf. Due to the length of the bristles, their position to the stalks (their altitudes) and their stiffness or their bending elasticity, the interaction of the bristles during erection of the blades or when distributing the contents can be optimized, whereby the best possible result both in forward driving as in the Reversing the mobile device results.

Des Weiteren wird ein möglichst homogenes Bearbeitungsergebnis durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung erreicht, derart, dass die Borsten in möglichst homogener Dichte, also Anzahl pro Fläche, zumindest über die Breite des Austragbereiches erstrecken.Furthermore, as homogeneous as possible a machining result is achieved by the device according to the invention, such that the bristles extend as homogeneously as possible, ie number per surface, at least over the width of the discharge area.

Die verschiedenen Kunstrasentypen, die ausgelegt werden, unterscheiden sich untereinander insbesondere durch die Ausgestaltung ihrer Halme. Es wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass die Borsten an dem Borstenträger in einfacher Weise austauschbar sind und so die Qualität der Borsten der jeweiligen Qualität der Halme des Kunstrasens (zum Beispiel deren Steifigkeit beziehungsweise deren Länge und auch Dichte) in einfacher Weise anpassbar ist.The various types of artificial turf that are designed differ from one another in particular in the design of their stalks. It is proposed according to the invention that the bristles on the bristle carrier are exchangeable in a simple manner and so the quality of the bristles of the respective quality of the stalks of the synthetic turf (for example their rigidity or their length and also density) can be adapted in a simple manner.

Aufgabe der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist es, möglichst zeitsparend und effizient Füllgut auf Kunstrasenplätze zu verteilen. Es wird daher angestrebt, dass die jeweilige Bahnbreite, die die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung abfährt, möglichst groß ist und auf der gesamten Fahrbreite ein möglichst homogenes Bearbeitungsergebnis am Ende entsteht. Da im Ausbringbereich das Füllgut abgegeben wird, besitzt der Ausbringbereich quer zur Fahrtrichtung (zum Beispiel in Vorwärts- oder Rückwärtsfahrtrichtung) eine gewisse Breite, in welcher Füllgut auf den Kunstrasen ausgebracht wird. Zumindest diese Füllgutbreite ist von der Verteileinrichtung hinterher zu überstreichen.The object of the device according to the invention is to distribute contents as quickly as possible and efficiently on artificial turf pitches. It is therefore desirable that the respective web width, which leaves the device according to the invention, is as large as possible and results in a homogeneous processing result at the end over the entire travel width. Since the filling material is dispensed in the dispensing area, the dispensing area has a certain width transversely to the direction of travel (for example in the forward or reverse direction), in which filling material is applied to the artificial turf. At least this Füllgutbreite is to be swept by the distribution device afterwards.

Es ist daher auch klar, dass bevorzugt auch die Breite der Aufrichteinrichtung und/oder die Breite der Verteileinrichtung zumindest der Breite des Ausbringbereiches entsprechen, um zum einen sowohl ein optimales Aufrichtergebnis der Halme vor dem Ausbringen des Füllgutes sowie hernach ein entsprechendes Verteilergebnis des Füllgutes zwischen den Halmen zu erreichen.It is therefore also clear that preferably also the width of the erecting device and / or the width of the distributing device correspond at least to the width of the dispensing area, in order to achieve both an optimum erection result of the stalks prior to application of the filling material and subsequently a corresponding distribution result of the filling material between the stalks To reach straws.

Die Breite der Aufrichteinrichtung beziehungsweise Verteileinrichtung ist dabei quer zur Fahrtrichtung der Vorrichtung zu sehen.The width of the erector or distributor is to see transverse to the direction of travel of the device.

Des Weiteren wird in einer erfindungsgemäßen Variante vorgesehen, dass die Borsten steifer sind als die Halme des Kunstrasens. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass durch die Borsten die Halme des Kunstrasens entsprechend aufgerichtet und bewegt werden und nicht die Borsten im Zusammenwirken mit den Halmen des Kunstrasens nachgeben.Furthermore, it is provided in a variant according to the invention that the bristles are stiffer than the blades of the artificial turf. This ensures that the stalks of the artificial turf are erected and moved accordingly by the bristles and not give in to the bristles in cooperation with the blades of the artificial turf.

In der erfindungsgemäßen Variante ist vorgesehen, dass als Aufrichteinrichtung und/oder als Verteileinrichtung je mindestens ein Borstenträger mit Borsten vorgesehen ist. In diser erfindungsgemäßen Variante ist die Aufrichteinrichtung und/oder die Verteileinrichtung als ein Borstenträger wie vorbeschrieben realisiert. Natürlich ist es möglich, eine Mehrzahl von Borstenträgern hintereinander oder seitlich überlappend, versetzt zueinander einzusetzen. Auch die Anzahl der Borstenträger muss bei der Aufrichteinrichtung und der Verteileinrichtung nicht gleich sein, allerdings wird für ein möglichst homogenes Arbeitsergebnis angestrebt, die Ausstattung der einzelnen Funktionseinheiten gleich zu wählen, da die Baugruppen, je nach Fahrtrichtung, unterschiedliche Funktionen einnehmen.In the variant according to the invention, it is provided that at least one bristle carrier with bristles is provided as the erecting device and / or as the distributing device. In this variant of the invention, the erecting device and / or the distribution device is realized as a bristle carrier as described above. Of course, it is possible, a plurality of bristle carriers successively or laterally overlapping, offset to use each other. The number of bristle carriers does not have to be the same in the erecting device and the distribution device, however, the aim is for the most homogeneous possible result to select the equipment of the individual functional units equal, since the modules, depending on the direction of travel, assume different functions.

Alternativ dazu ist es aber auch möglich, dass die Aufrichteinrichtung zum Beispiel als Stachelwalze ausgerichtet ist, deren Rotationsbewegung die zusammengefalteten Kunstrasenhalme aufrichtet. Des Weiteren ist es in einer erfindungsgemäßen Variante möglich, dass das Füllgut durch die Verteileinrichtung ausgebracht wird und gleichzeitig entsprechend zwischen den Halmen zu liegen kommt.Alternatively, however, it is also possible for the erector to be aligned, for example, as a spiked roller whose rotational movement raises the folded artificial turf sticks. Furthermore, it is possible in a variant according to the invention that the filling material is discharged through the distributor and at the same time comes to rest between the stalks.

Des Weiteren wird in einer erfindungsgemäßen Variante vorgesehen, dass sich der Austragbereich mindestens über die Breite der fahrbaren Vorrichtung erstreckt. Die Breite der fahrbaren Vorrichtung ist die Quererstreckung rechtwinklig zur normalen Fahrtrichtung der Vorrichtung. Durch eine Ausgestaltung des Austragbereiches derart, dass sich diese mindestens über die Breite der Vorrichtung erstreckt, wird erreicht, dass die Bahnbreiten der Fahrzeugbreite entspricht oder sogar größer ist, wodurch sich die Anzahl der zu fahrenden Bahnen reduziert. Oftmals orientiert man sich am Abdruck der Reifen der vorherigen Bahn. In diesem Fall ist ein gleichmäßiges Ausbringen dann leicht erreichbar, wenn die Breite des Ausbringbereiches der Spurbreite der Vorrichtung entspricht.Furthermore, it is provided in a variant according to the invention that the discharge area extends at least over the width of the mobile device. The width of the mobile device is the transverse extent perpendicular to the normal direction of travel of the device. By an embodiment of the discharge area such that it extends at least over the width of the device, it is achieved that the web widths correspond to the width of the vehicle or even larger, thereby reducing the number of webs to be traveled. Often one orientates oneself at the impression of the tires of the previous course. In this case, even spreading is easily achieved when the width of the discharge area corresponds to the track width of the device.

Des Weiteren wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass die Ausbringvorrichtung eine Dosierungsvorrichtung aufweist. Mit Hilfe der Dosierungsvorrichtung ist es möglich, die auf die jeweilige Fläche auszubringende Füllgutmenge einzustellen und zu variieren.Furthermore, it is proposed according to the invention that the dispensing device has a metering device. With the help of the metering device, it is possible to adjust and vary the amount of product to be applied to the respective surface.

Dabei wird in einer erfindungsgemäßen Variante vorgesehen, dass die Dosierungsvorrichtung den Füllgutfluss in Abhängigkeit der Geschwindigkeit der fahrbaren Vorrichtung steuert. Eine solche Ausgestaltung hat zum Ziel, dass unabhängig von der Geschwindigkeit der fahrbaren Vorrichtung, hernach immer ein gleichbleibendes Flächengewicht an Füllgut auf den Kunstrasen aufgebracht wird. Um dies zu erreichen wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass eine insbesondere hydraulisch wirkende Kopplung zwischen der Dosiervorrichtung und dem Fahrantrieb, zum Beispiel auf Ebene der Antriebsachsen, besteht. Natürlich ist auch eine elektronische Kopplung beziehungsweise ein entsprechender Steuer-Regel-Kreis erfindungsgemäß umfasst. Dabei wird der Füllgutfluss, also die Menge an Füllgut, die pro Zeiteinheit auf den Kunstrasen ausgebracht wird, um so mehr erhöht, je höher die Geschwindigkeit der fahrbaren Vorrichtung ist.It is provided in a variant according to the invention that the metering device controls the Füllgutfluss depending on the speed of the mobile device. Such a design has the goal that regardless of the speed of the mobile device, thereafter always a constant weight per unit area is applied to the artificial turf. To achieve this, it is proposed according to the invention that a particularly hydraulically acting coupling between the metering device and the traction drive, for example at the level of the drive axles, exists. Of course, an electronic coupling or a corresponding control-rule circuit according to the invention is also included. In this case, the Füllgutfluss, ie the amount of contents that is applied per unit time on the artificial turf, the more increases the higher the speed of the mobile device.

In einer bevorzugten erfindungsgemäßen Variante ist vorgesehen, dass eine quer zur Fahrtrichtung oszillierende oder kreisende Bewegung der Aufrichteinrichtung, der Verteileinrichtung und/oder des Borstenträgers vorgesehen ist. Es ist gefunden worden, dass durch die oszillierende Bewegung, also einem Bewegungsanteil der Aufrichteinrichtung, der Verteileinrichtung und/oder des Borstenträgers, zumindest schräg oder rechtwinklig, also quer zur Fahrtrichtung, das jeweilige Arbeitsergebnis, also das Aufrichten des Halmes oder das Einarbeiten des Füllgutes in den Kunstrasen, entsprechend verbessert wird. Natürlich ist auch eine bezüglich der fahrbaren Vorrichtung stillstehende Aufrichteinrichtung, Verteileinrichtung oder ein Borstenträger ebenfalls erfindungsgemäß umfasst. Bei der oszillierenden oder kreisenden Bewegung resultiert letztendlich eine Bewegungsbahn der Aufrichteinrichtung, der Verteileinrichtung beziehungsweise des Borstenträgers in einer Ebene parallel zur Fläche des Kunstrasens. Eine oszillierende Bewegung unterscheidet sich dabei von der kreisenden Bewegung dadurch, dass die oszillierende Bewegung bezüglich der fahrbaren Vorrichtung eine lineare Bewegung zwischen zwei Endpunkten, quer zur Fahrtrichtung ausführt, wohingegen bei einer kreisenden Bewegung eine flächige Bewegung, bezogen auf die fahrbare Vorrichtung, resultiert. Bei der kreisenden Bewegung werden in geeigneter Weise Bewegungsanteile parallel/schräg und schräg/rechtwinkelig zur Fahrtrichtung miteinander kombiniert. Es ist klar, dass die lineare oszillierende Bewegung überlagert mit der Fahrbewegung der fahrbaren Vorrichtung ebenfalls zu einer kreisenden Bewegung führt. Mit Hilfe dieser Bewegungsanteile ist das jeweilige Bearbeitungsergebnis beeinflussbar.In a preferred variant of the invention, it is provided that a movement of the erecting device, the distributing device and / or the bristle carrier is oscillating or circulating transversely to the direction of travel. It has been found that by the oscillating movement, ie a proportion of movement of Aufrichteinrichtung, the distributor and / or the bristle carrier, at least obliquely or at right angles, ie transverse to the direction of travel, the respective work result, ie the erection of the straw or the incorporation of the contents in the artificial turf, is improved accordingly. Of course, a erecting device, distribution device or bristle carrier which is stationary with respect to the mobile device is likewise included according to the invention. In the case of the oscillating or circular movement, a trajectory of the erecting device, the distribution device or the bristle carrier ultimately results in a plane parallel to the surface of the synthetic turf. An oscillating movement differs from the circular motion in that the oscillating motion with respect to the mobile device performs linear movement between two end points, transverse to the direction of travel, whereas in a circular motion, a flat movement, based on the mobile device results. In the circular motion motion components in parallel / obliquely and obliquely / perpendicular to the direction of travel are combined in a suitable manner. It is clear that the linear oscillating movement superimposed with the travel movement of the mobile device also leads to a circular motion. With the help of these motion components, the respective processing result can be influenced.

In einer Weiterentwicklung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass eine Steuerung für die Geschwindigkeit der oszillierenden oder kreisenden Bewegung der Aufrichteinrichtung, der Verteileinrichtung beziehungsweise des Borstenträgers vorgesehen ist. Dabei wird mit Hilfe der Steuerung auch die Geschwindigkeit der Bewegung in Abhängigkeit der Geschwindigkeit der fahrbaren Vorrichtung beeinflusst. Durch eine solche Anordnung macht man sich, ähnlich wie bei der steuerbaren Dosiervorrichtung, mit dem Bearbeitungsergebnis möglichst unabhängig von der tatsächlichen Geschwindigkeit der Vorrichtung.In a further development of the invention it is provided that a control for the speed of the oscillating or circular movement of the erector, the distributor or the bristle carrier is provided. In this case, the speed of the movement is also influenced by the control as a function of the speed of the mobile device. Such an arrangement makes, as in the case of the controllable metering device, the processing result as independent as possible from the actual speed of the device.

Ein wesentlicher Vorzug der Erfindung ist, dass eine selbstfahrende fahrbare Vorrichtung erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ist. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist dann traktorähnlich. Die Bedienperson fährt mit der Vorrichtung mit. Zwar wird das Gewicht einer solchen Vorrichtung höher, da der Antriebsmotor und die dazugehörigen Steuer-Lenkeinheiten an der Vorrichtung untergebracht werden müssen. Jedoch ist die Rangierfähigkeit eines solchen Fahrzeuges gegenüber einer nur geschleppten Vorrichtung erheblich erhöht. Insbesondere da erfindungsgemäß ja vorwärts wie rückwärts Füllgut ausgebracht werden soll, wird durch die selbstfahrend Vorrichtung eine erhebliche Arbeitserleichterung erreicht. Trotzdem umfasst die Erfindung auch eine geschleppte Vorrichtung, die gegebenenfalls mit entsprechenden Steuerungshilfen in gleicher Weise auch in der Vorwärts- wie in der Rückwärtsbewegung einsetzbar ist.An essential advantage of the invention is that a self-propelled mobile device is provided according to the invention. Such a device is then tractor-like. The operator drives with the device. Although the weight of such a device is higher, since the drive motor and the associated control steering units must be accommodated on the device. However, the maneuverability of such a vehicle is significantly increased over a towed device only. In particular, since according to the invention yes forward as backward contents to be deployed, a considerable workload is achieved by the self-propelled device. Nevertheless, the invention includes also a towed device, possibly with appropriate control aids in the same way also in the forward as in the backward movement is used.

Es hat sich als günstig erwiesen, dass die Vorrichtung mindestens zwei, je eine Walze oder Räder tragende Achsen besitzt. Die gesamte Vorrichtung stützt sich über die Räder oder Walzen auf dem Kunstrasen ab. Dabei sind punktuelle Überbeanspruchungen möglichst zu vermeiden, um den Kunstrasen nicht zu beschädigen. Daher werden verhältnismäßig breite Reifen oder auch Walzen oder Walzenteile eingesetzt, um eine möglichst großflächige Auflagefläche zu realisieren.It has proven to be favorable that the device has at least two axes, each carrying a roller or wheels. The entire device is supported by the wheels or rollers on the artificial turf. In this case, punctual overstress should be avoided as much as possible in order not to damage the artificial turf. Therefore, relatively wide tires or rollers or roller parts are used to realize the largest possible contact surface.

Durch eine solche erfindungsgemäße Variante ist es möglich, eine hohe Zuladung, also einen verhältnismäßig großen Vorratsbehälter vorzusehen, durch welchen dann notwendige Nachladevorgänge reduziert werden können, was ebenfalls günstig ist für eine möglichst schnelle und effiziente Bearbeitung.By such a variant according to the invention, it is possible to provide a high payload, so a relatively large reservoir through which then necessary Nachladevorgänge can be reduced, which is also favorable for the fastest possible and efficient processing.

Um eine optimale Lastverteilung zwischen den beiden Achsen zu erreichen ist vorgesehen, dass der Ausbringbereich zwischen den beiden Achsen angeordnet ist. Daher befindet sich auch der Vorratsbehälter zwischen den beiden Achsen. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, zur besseren Lastverteilung, drei oder vier Achsen vorzusehen und den Ausbringbereich zwischen den beiden in der Mitte beabstandeten Achsen vorzusehen.In order to achieve an optimal load distribution between the two axes, it is provided that the dispensing area is arranged between the two axes. Therefore, the reservoir is located between the two axes. It is of course also possible, for better load distribution, to provide three or four axles and to provide the delivery area between the two centrally spaced axles.

Des Weiteren wird in einer erfindungsgemäßen Variante vorgeschlagen, dass ein nach unten sich trichterförmig verjüngender Vorratsbehälter vorgesehen ist, an welchen sich eine quer zur Fahrtrichtung erstreckende Füllgutaustrittsöffnung anschließt. Durch die trichterförmige Ausgestaltung des Vorratsbehälters läuft das als Schüttgut vorgesehene Füllgut effektiv zusammen und versorgt regelmäßig und automatisch die Ausbringvorrichtung. Der richtigeFurthermore, in a variant according to the invention, it is proposed that a downwardly funnel-shaped tapered reservoir be provided, to which a transverse to the direction of travel extending Füllgutaustrittsöffnung connects. Due to the funnel-shaped configuration of the storage container, the bulk material provided as bulk material effectively runs together and supplies the dispensing device regularly and automatically. The right one

Füllgutfluss wird durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen Dosiervorrichtung eingestellt. Die trichterförmigeFüllgutfluss is adjusted by the metering device provided according to the invention. The funnel-shaped

Ausgestaltung erlaubt es aber auch, seitlich unterhalb oder neben dem Vorratsbehälter zusätzliche Baugruppen der Vorrichtung unterzubrigen. Hierbei ist insbesondere an die verschiedenen Antriebe aber auch an die Aufricht- beziehungsweise Verteileinrichtung zu denken.Design also allows laterally below or next to the reservoir additional components of the device unterzubrigen. This is especially to think of the various drives but also to the erector or distributor.

Ziel der Erfindung ist, möglichst effizient und zeitsparend und daher auch kostensparend Füllgut auf dem Kunstrasenplatz auszubringen. Je breiter daher die Fahrbreite oder Bahnbreite beim Ausbringen ist, umso weniger Fahrten sind notwendig, um den gesamten Platz zu bearbeiten. Daher erstreckt sich geschickterweise die Füllgutaustrittsöffnung quer zur Fahrtrichtung und möglichst über die gesamte Fahrzeugbreite, woraus sich ein möglichst breiter Ausbringbereich ergibt.The aim of the invention is as efficient and time-saving and therefore cost-saving to deploy contents on the artificial turf field. Therefore, the wider the travel width or web width when deploying, the fewer trips are required to work the entire space. Therefore skillfully extends the Füllgutaustrittsöffnung transversely to the direction of travel and possibly over the entire vehicle width, resulting in the widest possible Ausbringbereich.

In einer bevorzugten Variante der Erfindung ist eine Höhenverstellbarkeit der Aufrichteinrichtung, der Verteileinrichtung und/oder des Borstenträgers vorgesehen. Durch diese Höhenverstellbarkeit ist das einzelne Element, zum Beispiel die Aufrichteinrichtung getrennt von der Verteileinrichtung beziehungsweise des Borstenträgers in ihrer Wirkhöhe veränderbar. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, dass die Verteileinrichtung gemeinsam zusammen mit der Aufrichteinrichtung an einem gemeinsamen Einrichtungsträger angeordnet sind und dort in geeigneter Weise höhenverstellbar gelagert sind. Dies kann durch eine entsprechende Lagerung durch einen Schwenkhebel oder entsprechende Schienenführung und so weiter erfolgen.In a preferred variant of the invention, a height adjustment of the erector, the distributor and / or the bristle carrier is provided. Due to this height adjustability, the individual element, for example the erecting device, can be changed in its effective height separately from the distribution device or the bristle carrier. Of course, it is also possible that the distribution device are arranged together with the erecting device on a common device carrier and are mounted there height-adjustable in a suitable manner. This can be done by appropriate storage by a pivot lever or rail guide and so on.

Durch die Höhenverstellbarkeit ist es möglich, die Eingriffstiefe der Borsten, des Borstenträgers, der Aufrichteinrichtung beziehungsweise der Verteileinrichtung in die Fasern des Kunstrasens zu variieren und sich so den verschiedenen, speziellen Begebenheiten optimal anzupassen.Due to the height adjustment, it is possible to vary the depth of engagement of the bristles, the bristle carrier, the erecting device or the distribution device in the fibers of the artificial turf and thus optimally adapted to the different, special circumstances.

Des Weiteren wird die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren für das Ausbringen von Füllgut auf einem Kunstrasenplatz mit Hilfe einer fahrbaren Vorrichtung gelöst, wobei das Füllgut sowohl in Vorwärts- wie auch in Rückwärtsfahrtrichtung der Vorrichtung ausgebracht wird.Furthermore, the object according to the invention is achieved by a method solved for the application of filling material on an artificial turf field by means of a mobile device, wherein the filling material is applied both in the forward and in reverse direction of the device.

Die Erfindung ist schematisch in der einzigen Zeichnung als eine Variante eines Ausführungsbeispiels gezeigt. Dabei zeigt diese Fig. eine Seitenansicht der erfindungsgemäß fahrbaren Vorrichtung.The invention is shown schematically in the single drawing as a variant of an embodiment. This figure shows a side view of the device according to the invention mobile device.

In der als Seitenansicht ausgeführten Fig. ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 1 schematisch gezeigt. Sie besteht aus einem Fahrgestell, welches am vorderen und hinteren Ende je eine Achse 14, 15 aufweist. Die Vorderachse 15 trägt dabei Räder mit geringerem Durchmesser als das Rad 12 der Hinterachse 14.In the FIG. 1 side view, the device 1 according to the invention is shown schematically. It consists of a chassis, which at the front and rear ends each have an axis 14, 15. The front axle 15 carries wheels with a smaller diameter than the wheel 12 of the rear axle 14th

Die Vorrichtung 1 trägt im oberen Bereich den Vorratsbehälter 2, welcher das Füllgut 3 aufnimmt. Der Vorratsbehälter 2 ist trichterförmig ausgebildet und besitzt an seinem unteren Ende die Ausbringvorrichtung 4, die für das Ausbringen des Füllgutes 3 sorgt.The device 1 carries in the upper region of the reservoir 2, which receives the filling material 3. The reservoir 2 is funnel-shaped and has at its lower end the dispensing device 4, which ensures the discharge of the filling material 3.

Durch eine Dosiervorrichtung 11 ist es möglich, den Füllgutfluss zu steuern. Letztendlich wird dadurch die Breite derBy a metering device 11, it is possible to control the Füllgutfluss. Ultimately, this is the width of the

Füllgutaustrittsöffnung variiert und zum Beispiel in Abhängigkeit der Geschwindigkeit oder anderer Parameter eingestellt.Filling material outlet varies and adjusted, for example, depending on the speed or other parameters.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Vorrichtung 1 bidirektional zum Ausbringen des Streugutes einsetzbar ist. Die Bidirektionalität ist mit dem Doppelpfeil 5 angegeben, der Doppelpfeil 5 teilt sich dabei auf in die Vorwärtsbewegung 5a (der rechte Teilpfeil) und die Rückwärtsbewegung 5b (der linke Teilpfeil des Doppelpfeiles 5).According to the invention, it is provided that the device 1 can be used bidirectionally for discharging the material to be spread. The bidirectionality is indicated by the double arrow 5, the double arrow 5 is divided into the forward movement 5a (the right part arrow) and the backward movement 5b (the left part arrow of the double arrow 5).

Für eine möglichst optimale gleichmäßige Lastverteilung ist der Vorratsbehälter 2 mittig zwischen den beiden Achsen 14 und 15 angeordnet. Geschickterweise werden Reifen 12, 13 verwendet, die eine möglichst große Auflagefläche auf dem Untergrund bieten, um die Flächenbelastung gering zu halten.For the best possible uniform load distribution of the reservoir 2 is arranged centrally between the two axes 14 and 15. Cleverly tires 12, 13 are used, which offer the largest possible contact surface on the ground in order to keep the surface load low.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass der Ausbringbereich 6, in welchem das Füllgut 3 auf dem Boden gelangt, zwischen den beiden Achse 14, 15 ist. Hierdurch resultiert zum einen eine gute Gewichtsverteilung im Einsatz und zum anderen auch eine kompakte Bauweise der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung. In Fahrtrichtung, zum Beispiel in Vorwärtsrichtung 5a, ist vor dem Ausbringbereich 6 eine Aufrichteinrichtung 7 vorgesehen. Die Aufrichteinrichtung 7 befindet sich in Fahrtrichtung vorwärts 5a noch hinter dem Rad 13.According to the invention, it is provided that the dispensing area 6, in which the filling material 3 arrives on the floor, is between the two axes 14, 15. This results in a good weight distribution in use and on the other hand also a compact design of the device according to the invention. In the direction of travel, for example in the forward direction 5 a, a straightening device 7 is provided in front of the discharge area 6. The erector 7 is located in the direction of travel forward 5a still behind the wheel thirteenth

In Vorwärtsfahrtrichtung 5a hinter dem Ausbringbereich 6 ist die Verteileinrichtung 8 vorgesehen. Die Verteileinrichtung 8 befindet sich in Fahrtrichtung 5a immer noch vor dem Hinterrad 12.In the forward direction 5a behind the discharge area 6, the distribution device 8 is provided. The distribution device 8 is still in front of the rear wheel 12 in the direction of travel 5a.

Die Aufrichteinrichtung 7 und die Verteileinrichtung 8 sind an einem gemeinsamen Einrichtungsträger 16 angeordnet. Dabei ist die Aufrichteinrichtung 7 am in Vorwärtsrichtung vorderen Ende eines Tragrahmens 18 angeordnet, wobei der Tragrahmen 18 imThe erector 7 and the distributor 8 are arranged on a common device carrier 16. In this case, the erecting device 7 is arranged at the forward end of a support frame 18, wherein the support frame 18 in

Übrigen mindestens eine Öffnung aufweist, damit das von der Ausbringvorrichtung 4 ausgeworfene Füllgut 3 durch den Rahmen 18 nach unten fallen kann. Der gesamte Einrichtungsträger 16 mit der daran angeordneten Aufrichteinrichtung 7 und der Verteileinrichtung 8 stützt sich bei Bedarf über Tragrollen 17 zusätzlich auf dem Boden ab. Vorliegend ist aber auch vorgesehen, dass der Einrichtungsträger 16 und somit auch die Aufrichteinrichtung 7 beziehungsweise Verteileinrichtung 8 höhenverstellbar ist. Hierzu ist der Einrichtungsträger 16 über Schwenkhebel 19 an den Chassis der fahrbaren Vorrichtung 1 angelenkt und mit einem entsprechenden Positionsantrieb ausgestattet. Damit ist es möglich, die Einwirktiefe der Aufrichteinrichtung 7 beziehungsweise Verteileinrichtung 8 einzustellen.Remaining having at least one opening so that the ejected from the dispensing device 4 filling material 3 can fall through the frame 18 down. The entire device carrier 16 with the erecting device 7 arranged thereon and the distributing device 8 is additionally supported, if necessary, by carrying rollers 17 on the ground. In the present case, however, it is also provided that the device carrier 16 and thus also the erecting device 7 or distribution device 8 is height-adjustable. For this purpose, the device carrier 16 is articulated via pivot lever 19 to the chassis of the mobile device 1 and equipped with a corresponding position drive. This makes it possible to adjust the effective depth of the erector 7 or distributor 8.

In dem hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Aufrichteinrichtung 7 und die Verteileinrichtung 8 gemeinsam in gleicher Weise angehoben oder abgesenkt. Natürlich ist es möglich, die Höhenverstellbarkeit dieser beiden Elemente getrennt voneinander zu realisieren.In the embodiment shown here, the erector 7 and the distributor 8 are raised or lowered together in the same way. Of course, it is possible to realize the height adjustment of these two elements separately.

In dem hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Aufrichteinrichtung 7 und Verteileinrichtung 8 im Wesentlichen identisch aufgebaut und besteht jeweils aus einem Borstenträger 9, der sich zumindest über die Breite (rechtwinklig zur Fahrtrichtung 5) des Ausbringbereiches 6 erstreckt. Der Borstenträger 9 trägt eine Vielzahl von untereinander jeweils gleichen Borsten 10 in gleichbleibender Anordnung, um, je nach dem Anwendungsbereich des Trägers, als Aufrichteinrichtung oder Verteileinrichtung über die Breite gleichbleibende Arbeitsergebnisse zu erreichen.In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the erecting device 7 and distributing device 8 are of essentially identical construction and in each case consist of a bristle carrier 9 which extends at least over the width (at right angles to the direction of travel 5) of the dispensing region 6. The bristle carrier 9 carries a plurality of mutually identical bristles 10 in a constant arrangement to achieve, depending on the application of the carrier, as a righting device or distributor across the width consistent work results.

Es ist klar, dass neben dieser identischen Ausgestaltung der Aufrichteinrichtung 7 und der Verteileinrichtung 8 natürlich auch unterschiedliche Baugruppen, spezialisiert für die jeweiligen Anwendungsfälle, eingesetzt werden können und dann bei der Rückwärtsfahrt 5b paarweise andere Baugruppen zum Einsatz kommen.It is clear that in addition to this identical configuration of the erector 7 and the distribution device 8, of course, different modules, specialized for the respective applications, can be used and then at the reverse drive 5b pairs of other modules are used.

Bezüglich des mittig angeordneten Ausbringbereiches 6 befindet sich bei der Vorwärtsfahrt 5a die Ausbringeinrichtung 7 vor dem Ausbringbereich (rechts davon) und die Verteileinrichtung 8 dahinter (links davon).With respect to the centrally arranged dispensing area 6, the dispensing device 7 is located in front of the dispensing area (to the right thereof) and the distributing device 8 behind (to the left thereof) during the forward travel 5a.

Diese Funktionalität wird aber bei der Rückwärtsfahrt 5b umgedreht. In diesem Fall befindet sich die Aufrichteinrichtung 7b links vom Ausbringbereich 6, die Verteileinrichtung 8b rechts vom Ausbringbereich 6.This functionality is reversed in the reverse drive 5b. In this case, the erecting device 7b is located to the left of the discharge area 6, and the distributing device 8b is located to the right of the discharge area 6.

An Stelle von der hier gezeigten einfachen Ausgestaltung des Borstenträgers 9 ist natürlich auch eine Mehrfachanordnung von Borstenträgern 9 vorgesehen. Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass die Borstenträger 9 zumindest rechtwinklig zur Blattebene beweglich sind, um eine oszillierende beziehungsweise auch kreisende Bewegung auszuführen, was sowohl die Aufstellbewegung der Halme des Kunstrasens wie auch das Verteilen des Füllgutes (Sand und/oder Gummigranulat) erheblich erleichtert.Of course, instead of the simple configuration of the bristle carrier 9 shown here, a multiple arrangement of bristle carriers 9 is also provided. Furthermore, it is provided that the bristle carrier 9 are movable at least perpendicular to the plane of the sheet to perform an oscillating or circular motion, which greatly facilitates both the erection of the blades of the artificial turf and the distribution of the filling material (sand and / or rubber granulate).

Bei der Umsteuerung von Vorwärts- 5a nach Rückwärtsfahrt 5b wechseln dann auch der erste Bereich 21, der in Fahrtrichtung 5a vor dem Ausbringbereich 6 liegt, mit dem zweiten Bereich 22, der in Fahrtrichtung 5a hinter dem Ausbringbereich 6 liegt, die jeweilige Lage an der Vorrichtung 1. Egal wie die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 1 bewegt wird, es befindet sich immer in Fahrtrichtung vor dem Ausbringbereich 6 der erste Bereich 21 zum Aufrichten der Halme und in Fahrtrichtung hinter dem Ausbringbereich 6 der zweite Bereich 22 zum Verteilen des Füllgutes.When reversing from forward 5a to reverse 5b then change the first area 21, which lies in the direction of travel 5a in front of the Ausbringbereich 6, with the second region 22, which lies behind the Ausbringbereich 6 in the direction of travel 5a, the respective position on the device 1. No matter how the device 1 according to the invention is moved, it is always in the direction of travel before the application area 6, the first region 21 for erecting the blades and in the direction of travel behind the application area 6, the second region 22 for distributing the contents.
