Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Plattenverdichter mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1, der verstellbar an einem Trägergerät angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to a plate compactor having the features of independent claim 1, which is adjustably arranged on a carrier device.

Derartige Plattenverdichter dienen dem mechanischen Verdichten von Oberflächen, bspw. von Untergrundschichten für den Straßenbau oder für Fundamente von Bauwerken o. dgl. Bekannte Plattenverdichter können insbesondere mit einem Unwuchtgetriebe versehen sein, das mit einem Antriebsmotor gekoppelt ist. Wahlweise kann das Unwuchtgetriebe über einen separaten hydraulischen Steuerkreis eines Trägergerätes von einem hydraulischen Ölmotor angetrieben werden.Such plate compactors are used for the mechanical compacting of surfaces, for example of underground layers for road construction or for foundations of buildings or the like. Known plate compactors may in particular be provided with an unbalanced transmission which is coupled to a drive motor. Optionally, the unbalance transmission via a separate hydraulic control circuit of a carrier device can be driven by a hydraulic oil motor.

Nach dem Stand der Technik sind Geräte bekannt, die als Plattenverdichter zum Anbau an Trägergeräte wie Radlader, Traktoren, Bagger, Grader, Pistenraupen usw. vorgesehen sind. An dem Trägergerät ist der Plattenverdichter normalerweise gelenkig bzw. heb- und senkbar verankert, um Böden verschiedenster Art verdichten zu können. Die Verdichtung ist erforderlich, um einen tragfähigen Untergrund zu erreichen. Auf diesem Untergrund werden Straßen, Wege und Plätze gebaut. Zum Betrieb werden diese Plattenverdichter durch die Fahrbewegungen der Trägergeräte über das zu verdichtende Material geschoben, wobei das schwingende Teil sich in einer Auf-und-ab-Bewegung im direkten Bodenkontakt befindet. Durch die Schwingungsfrequenzen, die durch die Drehzahl der Unwuchtwellen vorgegeben sind, entstehen die für die Verdichtung erforderlichen Auslenkungen der mit dem Boden in Kontakt stehenden Bodenplatte des Plattenverdichters. Die Amplituden dieser Auslenkungen bestimmen, wie hoch sich das schwingende Unterteil vom Boden abhebt. Das Gewicht des nichtschwingenden Oberteils trägt erheblich mit dazu bei, um ein optimales Verdichtungsergebnis zu erreichen.According to the prior art devices are known, which are provided as a plate compactor for attachment to carrier equipment such as wheel loaders, tractors, excavators, graders, snow groomers, etc. On the carrier of the plate compactor is usually hinged or raised and lowered anchored to compact soils of various kinds. The compaction is required to reach a stable ground. On this underground roads, paths and squares are built. For operation, these plate compactors are pushed by the movements of the carrier equipment on the material to be compacted, wherein the oscillating part is in an up-and-down movement in direct contact with the ground. Due to the vibration frequencies, which are predetermined by the rotational speed of the unbalanced shafts, the required for the compression deflections of the standing in contact with the ground bottom plate of the plate compactor arise. The amplitudes of these deflections determine how high the oscillating lower part lifts off the ground. The weight of the non-vibrating shell contributes significantly to this, in order to achieve an optimal compression result.

Da aber das Eigengewicht der Plattenverdichter nicht die von den Herstellern vorgegebene Nutzlast überschreiten dürfen, können mit dieser Art von Anbaugeräten nur begrenzte Verdichtungsleistungen erwartet werden. Um durch eine optimale Krafteinleitung bessere Verdichtungswerte bei dem Betrieb eines Anbauplattenverdichters zu erreichen, muss das Eigengewicht der nicht schwingenden Masse (Oberteil) dem Gewicht der schwingenden Masse (Unterteil) angepasst sein. Wenn das Gewicht des angebauten Plattenverdichters zu groß ist, verschiebt sich das zu verdichtende Material unter der schwingenden Masse (Unterteil) genau so, als wenn man unter Ausnutzung des Eigengewichtes des Trägergerätes auf das zu verdichtende Material drücken würde. Außerdem wäre eine Lenkbewegung nicht mehr möglich, da die Vorderräder über keinen ausreichenden Bodenkontakt verfügen würden. Bei den bekannten Plattenverdichtern ist die Aufhängung so ausgelegt, dass diese, verbunden mit dem nichtschwingenden Oberteil über eine kardanische Aufhängung, mit dem Trägergerät verbunden ist. Über diese Aufhängung wird der Plattenverdichter geschoben oder gezogen. Durch diese Art der Aufhängung entsteht beim Betrieb ein sogenannter Taumeleffekt. Die Schwingungen breiten sich vertikal nach unten und oben, aber auch horizontal nach beiden Seiten aus. Dadurch erfolgt ein erheblicher Verlust an Verdichtungsenergie, da eine vollständige Krafteinleitung vertikal nach unten nicht möglich ist.However, since the weight of the plate compactor must not exceed the payload specified by the manufacturers, only limited compaction performance can be expected with this type of attachments. In order to achieve better compaction values during the operation of a mounting plate compressor through an optimum introduction of force, the dead weight of the non-oscillating mass (upper part) must be adapted to the weight of the oscillating mass (lower part). If the weight of the mounted plate compactor is too large, the material to be compacted will move under the oscillating mass (bottom part) exactly as if you were taking advantage of the Dead weight of the carrier device would press on the material to be compacted. In addition, a steering movement would no longer be possible because the front wheels would not have sufficient ground contact. In the known plate compactors, the suspension is designed so that it, connected to the non-oscillating upper part via a gimbal, connected to the carrier device. About this suspension of the plate compactor is pushed or pulled. This type of suspension creates a so-called wobble effect during operation. The vibrations propagate vertically downwards and upwards, but also horizontally on both sides. This results in a significant loss of compaction energy, since a full force application vertically downwards is not possible.

Ein Plattenverdichter mit einem Unwuchtgetriebe, der als Anbaugerät für den Anbau an Baggern, Radladern o. dgl. Trägerfahrzeuge ausgebildet ist, geht bspw. aus der EP 1 930 505 A1 hervor.A plate compactor with an unbalance transmission, which is designed as an attachment for attachment to excavators, wheel loaders o. The like. Carrier vehicles, goes, for example, from the EP 1 930 505 A1 out.

Durch die DE 11 50 928 B ist eine Vorrichtung zur Bodenverdichtung offenbart, bestehend aus einem Trägerfahrzeug und einer Rüttelplatte. Das Trägerfahrzeug trägt an seiner Vorderseite eine Schwinge, die hydraulisch angehoben oder nach unten gepresst werden kann. An einem Arm der Schwinge ist ein Gabelhebel schwenkbar gelagert, der eine Rüttelplatte umgreift und der gelenkig mit dieser verbunden ist. Die Rüttelplatte besitzt einen Unwuchtrüttler. Auf der Rüttelplatte ist über Federn eine Kopfplatte abgestützt. Die Schwinge kann bei der Arbeitsstellung auf die Kopfplatte drücken, so dass nicht nur das Gewicht der Kopfplatte, sondern zusätzlich die von der Schwinge ausgeübte hydraulische Kraft als Auflast wirken kann. Am freien Ende der Schwinge sitzt eine gummibereifte Rolle, die über der Kopfplatte von einem an der Rüttelplatte befestigten Haken mit axialem Spiel übergriffen wird.By the DE 11 50 928 B discloses a device for soil compaction, consisting of a carrier vehicle and a vibrating plate. The carrier vehicle carries on its front side a rocker, which can be hydraulically lifted or pressed down. On one arm of the rocker, a fork lever is pivotally mounted, which surrounds a vibrating plate and is pivotally connected thereto. The vibrating plate has an imbalance shaker. On the vibrating plate a head plate is supported by springs. The rocker can press at the working position on the top plate, so that not only the weight of the top plate, but in addition the force exerted by the rocker hydraulic force can act as a surcharge. At the free end of the rocker sits a rubber-tyred role, which is overlapped on the top plate by a hook attached to the vibrating plate with axial play.

Die bekannten Plattenverdichter sind nicht universell nutzbar, da für unterschiedliche Untergründe jeweils unterschiedliche Eigengewichte und Schwingungseigenschaften der Plattenverdichter erforderlich sind. Daher besteht das Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, einen möglichst universell einsetzbaren Anbauplattenverdichter zur Verfügung zu stellen, der eine große Variabilität hinsichtlich der in den Boden einleitbaren Verdichtungskräfte ermöglicht.The known plate compactors are not universally usable, since for different substrates in each case different weights and vibration characteristics of the plate compactor are required. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a hitch plate compactor which is as universally applicable as possible, which allows great variability with regard to the compression forces which can be introduced into the soil.

Es hat sich in der Praxis erwiesen, dass sich bei manchen Böden durch den Einsatz von Anbauplattenverdichtern ein signifikanter wirtschaftlicher Vorteil gegenüber dem Einsatz viel schwererer Geräte erzielen lässt. Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt einen besonders universell einsetzbaren Plattenverdichter zur Verfügung, der eine sehr gute Verdichterleistung mit einem relativ leichten Gerät ermöglicht. Durch die Erfindung wird dies im Wesentlichen dadurch erreicht, indem ein Ankoppelungselement zwischen Trägergerät und Anbauplattenverdichter so ausgelegt ist, dass der Bodendruck des Plattenverdichters während des Betriebes verändert werden kann. Diese individuelle Anpassbarkeit des Verdichterdrucks führt auf einfache Art zu einer noch besseren Verdichtung, ohne dass das Eigengewicht des Plattenverdichters erhöht werden muss.This object of the invention is achieved with the subject matter of independent claim 1. Features of advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims. To achieve the stated object, the invention proposes a plate compactor which is arranged or mounted on a carrier device via a freely oscillating suspension kinematics adjustable. the plate compactor is articulated by means of at least one articulated joint to an auxiliary frame, said auxiliary frame is pivotally and adjustably connected to the carrier device. The subframe is preferably arranged movably on the carrier device about an approximately horizontal pivot axis, wherein the subframe in a first adjustment area articulates the plate compactor via the articulated connection. The subframe is in a second adjustment in addition to the hinge joint and spaced from this at least one force-transmitting contact for exercise and / or increasing a compressive force acting on the plate compactor. It has been proven in practice that the use of mounting plate compactors can provide a significant economic advantage over the use of much heavier equipment in some soils. The present invention provides a particularly universally applicable plate compactor which enables very good compressor performance with a relatively lightweight device. The invention achieves this essentially by designing a coupling element between carrier device and mounting plate compressor so that the bottom pressure of the plate compactor can be changed during operation. This individual adaptability of the compressor pressure leads to a simple way to an even better compression, without the weight of the plate compactor must be increased.

Bei einer bevorzugten Variante des erfindungsgemäßen ist der wenigstens eine kraftübertragende Kontakt zum Hilfsrahmen elastisch nachgiebig ausgestaltet. So kann der kraftübertragende Kontakt insbesondere durch wenigstens ein elastisch nachgiebiges Kontaktelement mit annähernd linearer oder progressiver Federkennung gebildet sein. Hierfür kommen insbesondere Gummifederelemente, Kunststoff- oder Metallfedern oder auch fluidisch wirkende Feder- und/oder Dämpfungselemente in Frage. Die Ausgestaltung des kraftübertragenden Kontaktes zwischen Hilfsrahmen und Plattenverdichter oder der zwei oder mehr kraftübertragenden Kontakte durch elastisch nachgiebige Kontaktelemente bzw. durch wenigstens ein elastisch nachgiebiges Kontaktelement sorgen für eine effektive und variabel beeinflussbare Kraftübertragung, ohne dass es zu unerwünschten Kraftspitzen kommt, die bei dem schwingenden Plattenverdichter und einem unelastischen Kontakt unvermeidlich wären.In a preferred variant of the invention, the at least one force-transmitting contact with the subframe is made elastically yielding. Thus, the force-transmitting contact can be formed in particular by at least one elastically resilient contact element with approximately linear or progressive spring detection. For this purpose, in particular rubber spring elements, plastic or metal springs or fluidic acting spring and / or damping elements in question. The design of the force-transmitting contact between subframe and plate compactor or the two or more force-transmitting contacts by elastically resilient contact elements or by at least one resilient contact element provide for an effective and variably modifiable power transmission, without causing undesirable force peaks in the oscillating plate compactor and inelastic contact would be inevitable.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Variante des Plattenverdichters ist der Hilfsrahmen über eine höhen- und/oder neigungsverstellbare Parallelkinematik am Trägergerät gehalten und dadurch in einstellbarer Weise mit diesem verbunden. Vorzugsweise ist der Hilfsrahmen gelenkig mit wenigstens einem Unterlenker verbunden, der in gelenkiger Lagerung zur Höhenverstellung des Plattenverdichters winkelverstellbar am Trägergerät gelagert ist. Zudem ist der Hilfsrahmen zur Neigungsverstellung vorzugsweise über einem längsverstellbaren Oberlenker mit dem Trägergerät verbunden. Dieser längsverstellbare Oberlenker kann bspw. ein vorhandener Kippzylinder einer verstellbaren Schaufelhalterung des Trägergeräts bzw. Trägerfahrzeuges sein. Der Unterlenker bzw. die Unterlenker kann/können demzufolge die als Schwenklagerung dienenden bzw. heb- und senkbaren Unterlenker der Schaufelhalterung sein.In the variant of the plate compactor according to the invention, the subframe is held by means of a height and / or tilt adjustable parallel kinematics on the carrier device and thereby connected in an adjustable manner with this. Preferably, the subframe is pivotally connected to at least one lower link, which is mounted in an articulated mounting for height adjustment of the plate compactor angle-adjustable on the carrier. In addition, the auxiliary frame for tilt adjustment is preferably connected via a longitudinally adjustable upper link with the carrier device. This longitudinally adjustable upper link can, for example, be an existing tilt cylinder of an adjustable blade holder of the carrier device or carrier vehicle. The lower link or the lower link can / can therefore be used as a pivot bearing or raised and lowered lower link of the blade holder.

Der zwischen Hilfsrahmen und Trägergerät angeordnete Oberlenker kann bspw. durch einen doppelt wirkenden Hydraulikzylinder gebildet sein, mit dem nicht nur die Neigung des Hilfsrahmens verstellt werden kann, sondern mit dem auch eine definierbare Kraftbeaufschlagung des Plattenverdichters über den kraftübertragenden Kontakt zum Hilfsrahmen ermöglicht ist.The arranged between subframe and carrier upper link can be formed, for example, by a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, with which not only the inclination of the subframe can be adjusted, but also with a definable application of force to the plate compactor is made possible via the force-transmitting contact to the subframe.

Besonders sinnvoll ist eine Erfassung der über den Hydraulikzylinder bzw. den einstellbaren Oberlenker übertragenen Kräfte auf den Plattenverdichter; hierzu kann bspw. dem Oberlenker bzw. dem Hydraulikzylinder eine Kraftmessvorrichtung zur Erfassung einer auf den Hilfsrahmen wirkenden Stellkraft und/oder eines resultierenden Anpressdrucks des Plattenverdichters auf eine zu verdichtende Bodenoberfläche zugeordnet sein.Particularly useful is a detection of the transferred via the hydraulic cylinder or the adjustable upper link forces on the plate compactor; For this purpose, for example, the top link or the hydraulic cylinder, a force measuring device for detecting a force acting on the subframe actuating force and / or a resulting contact pressure of the plate compactor be assigned to a soil surface to be compacted.

Außerdem kann eine weitere Variante des Plattenverdichters vorsehen, dass der Hilfsrahmen, der Oberlenker und/oder der Plattenverdichter mit wenigstens einem Beschleunigungssensor zur Erfassung von Schwingungseigenschaften des Plattenverdichters und/oder zur Erfassung von Bodeneigenschaften ausgestattet ist/sind.In addition, another variant of the plate compactor can provide that the subframe, the top link and / or the plate compactor is / are equipped with at least one acceleration sensor for detecting vibration characteristics of the plate compactor and / or for detecting soil properties.

Die Kraftmessvorrichtung und/oder der Beschleunigungssensor können mit einer Auswerte- und/oder Regeleinrichtung und/oder mit einer Einrichtung zur Visualisierung gekoppelt sein.The force measuring device and / or the acceleration sensor can be coupled to an evaluation and / or regulating device and / or to a device for visualization.

Bei einer von der vorliegenden Erfindung mitumfassten Variante des Plattenverdichters ist seine frei schwingende Aufhängungskinematik in einer Weise ausgestaltet und durch Betätigung eines bestehenden Schaufelkippzylinders oder einer Schwenkvorrichtung einen Rahmen so verstellbar, dass dieser an gegen einer freischwingenden Schwinge angebrachten Gummipuffer geführt und die an einem Punkt des Rahmens befestigte Schwinge vertikal nach unten über eine Hebelwirkung über einen Punkt des Oberteils des Plattenverdichter drückt, dass dieser über Schwingungselemente einen Druck auf das Unterteil ausüben kann. Dieser Plattenverdichter eignet sich insbesondere zum Anbau an Radlader, Traktoren, Walzen, Grader, Raupen o. dgl. Trägergeräte oder Trägerfahrzeuge.In a variant of the plate compactor encompassed by the present invention, its freely oscillating suspension kinematics is configured in a manner and by operation of an existing blade tilting cylinder or a pivoting device a frame adjustable so that this guided to a rubber buffer mounted against a free-swinging rocker and at one point of the frame fixed rocker vertically down over a lever action over a point of the upper part of the plate compactor presses that this can exert pressure on the lower part via vibration elements. This plate compactor is particularly suitable for mounting on wheel loaders, tractors, rollers, graders, caterpillars o. The like. Carrier or carrier vehicles.

Nachfolgend finden sich weitere Aspekte der vorliegenden Erfindung. Da es sich erwiesen hat, dass bei dem Einsatz von Anbauplattenverdichtern bei manchen Böden ein enorm wirtschaftlicher Vorteil gegenüber viel schwereren Geräten besteht, wird mit der Erfindung die Aufgabe gelöst, eine Vorrichtung dieser Art nochmals zu verbessern, dass eine noch bessere Verdichtung mit einem relativ leichten Gerät möglich ist. Durch die Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe einfach gelöst, indem ein Ankoppelungselement zwischen Trägergerät und Anbauplattenverdichter so ausgelegt ist, dass der Bodendruck des Plattenverdichters während des Betriebes zu verändern ist. Dies führt auf einfache Art zu einer noch besseren Verdichtung, ohne dass das Eigengewicht des Plattenverdichters erhöht wird. Dazu wird eine Aufhängung vorgeschlagen, die so ausgelegt ist, dass durch die Bewegung des Schaufelkippzylinder oder eines hydraulischen Oberlenker über eine Kinematik eine horizontal einwirkende Kraft über an einem Rahmen beweglich angebrachte Schwinge in eine vertikal nach unten wirkende Kraft umgeleitet werden kann. Da der hydraulische Kreis und ein zumindest hydraulischer Zylinder zum Kippen einer Schaufel oder eines Anbaugerätes bei jedem Trägergerät vorhanden ist/sind, wird kein zusätzlicher Steuerkreis oder Hydraulikzylinder gebraucht. Es wird vorgeschlagen, eine Verbindung über einen Rahmen über eine Schwinge an das Oberteil des Plattenverdichters zu schaffen. Die Schwingen sind nur am Rahmen und am Oberteil freischwingend gelagert. Dadurch entsteht kein Taumeleffekt mehr. Um ein optimales Verschieben über das zu verdichtende Material zu erreichen, sind die beiden Lagerungspunkte etwa auf gleicher Höhe angebracht. Wenn mit dem Schaufelkippzylinder eine Bewegung in Richtung Rahmen erfolgt, legt sich der Rahmen gegen einen Gummipuffer. Es entsteht eine Hebelwirkung: die horizontal einwirkende Kraft wird dadurch über die Lagerung am Rahmen über die Lagerung am Oberteil des Plattenverdichters in eine vertikal nach unten einwirkende Kraft umgeleitet. Der Gummipuffer kann auch aus einer Feder oder ähnlichem bestehen. An dem Hydraulikzylinder kann eine Messstelle vorgesehen sein. Über diese kann über den hydraulischen Druck die Last ermittelt werden, mit der der Plattenverdichter belastet wird.Below are further aspects of the present invention. Since it has been found that with the use of mounting plate compressors in some soils a huge economic advantage over much heavier devices, the object is achieved with the invention to improve a device of this kind again, that even better compression with a relatively light Device is possible. The invention solves this problem simply by designing a coupling element between the carrier device and the mounting plate compressor so that the bottom pressure of the plate compactor can be changed during operation. This results in a simple way to an even better compression, without the weight of the plate compactor is increased. For this purpose, a suspension is proposed, which is designed so that a horizontally acting force can be redirected via movably mounted on a frame rocker in a vertically downwardly acting force by the movement of the Schaufelkippzylinder or a hydraulic upper link via kinematics. Since the hydraulic circuit and at least one hydraulic cylinder for tilting a bucket or an attachment is / are present in each carrier, no additional control circuit or hydraulic cylinder is needed. It is proposed to provide a connection via a frame via a rocker to the upper part of the plate compactor. The wings are only free-swinging on the frame and on the upper part. This creates no more tumbling effect. In order to achieve optimum displacement over the material to be compacted, the two storage points are mounted approximately at the same height. When the bucket cylinder is moving towards the frame, the frame will bear against a rubber buffer. The result is a lever effect: the horizontally acting force is thereby redirected via the bearing on the frame via the storage on the upper part of the plate compactor in a vertically downwardly acting force. The rubber buffer may also consist of a spring or the like. A measuring point can be provided on the hydraulic cylinder. These can be used to determine the load at which the plate compactor is loaded via the hydraulic pressure.

Somit können verschiedene Materialien mit unterschiedlichen Kräften durch das Verdichtungsgerät optimal verdichtet werden, ohne dass die Nutzlast des Trägergerätes überschritten wird. Es können auch mehrere Plattenverdichter mit den gleichen erfindungsgemäßen Vorteilen nebeneinander angebracht werden.Thus, different materials with different forces can be optimally compressed by the compactor without the payload of the carrier device is exceeded. It is also possible to apply several plate compactors with the same advantages according to the invention side by side.

Wahlweise kann an einer Kraftmessvorrichtung oder an dem Hydraulikzylinder eine Messstelle vorhanden bzw. vorgesehen sein. Über diese Messstelle kann über den hydraulischen Druck die Last ermittelt werden, mit der der Plattenverdichter belastet wird. Um die Tragfähigkeit des zu verdichtenden Bodens zu messen und den Fahrer beim Erzielen eines gleichmäßigen Verdichtungsergebnisses zu unterstützen, kann als weitere Ausstattungsvariante für die Verdichtungsmessung ein Beschleunigungssensor auf dem schwingenden Unterteil oder auf dem nichtschwingenden Oberteil des Plattenverdichters angebracht werden. Dieser Beschleunigungssensor erfasst die Bodensteifigkeit, die Verdichtungsfrequenz und die Amplitude der Schwingungen des Plattenverdichters und liefert diese Werte an eine nachgeschaltete Auswerteeinheit, bspw. über einen CAN-Bus. Auf diese Weise können die ermittelten Werte aus der Kraftmessvorrichtung an einen Rechner geliefert werden, in dem die Ergebnisse ausgewertet und z.B. dem Geräteführer über ein Display angezeigt werden können. somit können verschiedene Materialien mit unterschiedlichen dynamischen Kräften und einer darauf abgestimmten Fahrgeschwindigkeit optimal verdichtet werden.Optionally, a measuring point may be provided or provided on a force measuring device or on the hydraulic cylinder. Via this measuring point, the hydraulic pressure can be used to determine the load with which the plate compactor is loaded. To measure the carrying capacity of the soil to be compacted and to assist the driver in achieving a uniform compaction result, an acceleration sensor can be mounted on the oscillating lower part or on the non-oscillating upper part of the plate compactor as a further equipment variant for the compaction measurement. This acceleration sensor detects the ground stiffness, the compression frequency and the amplitude of the oscillations of the plate compactor and delivers these values to a downstream evaluation unit, for example via a CAN bus. In this way, the determined values from the force measuring device can be supplied to a computer in which the results can be evaluated and displayed, for example, to the device operator via a display. Thus, different materials with different dynamic forces and a coordinated driving speed can be optimally compressed.

Ferner werden der Übersicht halber nur Bezugszeichen in den einzelnen Figuren dargestellt, die für die Beschreibung der jeweiligen Figur erforderlich sind.

Die schematische Seitenansicht der Fig. 1 zeigt einen Plattenverdichter 10, der über eine schwenkbewegliche und höhenverstellbare Aufhängungskinematik 12 an einem hier nur angedeuteten Trägerfahrzeug oder Trägergerät 14 aufgehängt und angebunden ist. Wie dies bei herkömmlichen Plattenverdichtern der Fall ist, ist auch der erfindungsgemäße Plattenverdichter 10 am Trägergerät 14 über die frei schwingende Aufhängungskinematik 12 verstellbar angeordnet bzw. angebaut. Wie es die Fig. 1 erkennen lässt, ist der Plattenverdichter 10 mittels wenigstens einer Gelenkverbindung 16 gelenkig an einem Hilfsrahmen 18 gelagert, wobei dieser Hilfsrahmen 18 über die erwähnte Aufhängungskinematik 12 schwenkbeweglich und verstellbar mit dem Trägergerät 14 verbunden ist. Der Hilfsrahmen 18 ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel mit einer nach unten offenen U-förmigen Schwinge 20 verbunden, deren erster Schenkel über die Gelenkverbindung 16 um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar mit dem Hilfsrahmen 18 verbunden ist, und deren anderer Schenkel einen Anlenkpunkt 22 für den daran aufgehängten Oberteil 24 des Plattenverdichters 10 bildet. Diese Verbindung zwischen der Schwinge 20 und dem Plattenverdichter 10 ist normalerweise ebenfalls gelenkig, so dass der Plattenverdichter 10 um die Gelenkverbindung 16 und den Anlenkpunkt 22 weitgehend frei schwingen kann.The schematic side view of Fig. 1 shows a plate compactor 10, which is suspended and connected via a pivoting and height-adjustable suspension kinematics 12 to a carrier vehicle or carrier device 14 only indicated here is. As is the case with conventional plate compactors, the plate compactor 10 according to the invention is also arranged or mounted on the carrier device 14 via the freely oscillating suspension kinematics 12. Like the Fig. 1 can disclose the plate compressor 10 is articulated by means of at least one articulated joint 16 mounted on an auxiliary frame 18, said subframe 18 is pivotally and adjustably connected to the carrier device 14 via said suspension kinematics 12. The subframe 18 is connected in the illustrated embodiment with a downwardly open U-shaped rocker 20, the first leg is pivotally connected via the hinge 16 about a horizontal axis with the subframe 18, and the other leg a pivot point 22 for the upper part suspended therefrom 24 of the plate compactor 10 forms. This connection between the rocker 20 and the plate compressor 10 is usually also articulated, so that the plate compressor 10 can swing around the hinge joint 16 and the pivot point 22 largely free.

Der Plattenverdichter 10 ist normalerweise mit einem Unwuchtgetriebe versehen, das bspw. über einen zusätzlichen hydraulischen Steuerkreis des Trägergerätes 14 von einem hydraulischen Ölmotor 26 oder wahlweise auch von einem Elektromotor oder einem anderen Antriebsmotor angetrieben wird. Der Plattenverdichter 10 besteht aus einem schwingenden Unterteil 28 mit Erregergetriebe und Grundplatte sowie aus dem nicht schwingenden Oberteil 24. Zwischen dem schwingenden Unterteil 28 und dem nicht schwingendenden Oberteil 24 befinden sich Schwingungselemente 30, die insbesondere aus einer Gummi-Metall-Verbindung gebildet sein können und auch als Gummipuffer bezeichnet werden können. Mit diesen Plattenverdichtern 10 werden Böden 32 verschiedenster Art verdichtet, so dass ein tragfähiger Untergrund hergestellt werden kann, der sich als Fundament für den Straßen- oder Gebäudebau eignet. Zum Betrieb wird der Plattenverdichter 10 durch die Fahrbewegungen des Trägergeräts 14 über das zu verdichtende Material 32 geschoben, wobei der schwingende Unterteil 28 sich in einer Auf-und-ab-Bewegung mit definierter Andrückkraft 34 in direktem Bodenkontakt befindet. Durch die Schwingungen, die durch die Drehzahl der Unwuchtwellen induziert werden, entstehen Schwingungen mit gegebenen oder variablen Amplituden und Frequenzen. Diese Schwingungen mit ihren gegebenen oder variablen Amplituden und Frequenzen bestimmen, wie hoch sich das schwingende Unterteil 28 vom Boden 32 abhebt. Das Gewicht des nichtschwingenden Oberteils 24 trägt erheblich mit dazu bei, um ein optimales Verdichtungsergebnis zu erreichen.The plate compactor 10 is normally provided with an unbalance transmission, which is driven, for example, via an additional hydraulic control circuit of the carrier device 14 by a hydraulic oil motor 26 or optionally also by an electric motor or another drive motor. The plate compressor 10 consists of a vibrating lower part 28 with exciter gear and base plate and from the non-oscillating upper part 24. Between the oscillating lower part 28 and the non-oscillating upper part 24 are vibration elements 30, which may be formed in particular of a rubber-metal compound and can also be referred to as a rubber buffer. With these plate compactors 10 soils 32 of various types are compacted, so that a stable ground can be made, which is suitable as a foundation for road or building construction. For operation, the plate compactor 10 is pushed by the movements of the carrier device 14 on the material to be compacted 32, wherein the oscillating lower part 28 is in direct contact with the ground in an up-and-down movement with defined pressing force 34. The vibrations induced by the rotational speed of the unbalanced shafts cause vibrations with given or variable amplitudes and frequencies. These vibrations with their given or variable amplitudes and frequencies determine how high the oscillating lower part 28 lifts off the ground 32. The weight of the non-oscillating upper part 24 contributes significantly to achieving an optimum compression result.

Die Fig. 1 lässt weiterhin erkennen, dass der Hilfsrahmen 18, an dem der Plattenverdichter 10 aufgehängt ist, über eine höhen- und/oder neigungsverstellbare Parallelkinematik am Trägergerät 14 gehalten und dadurch in einstellbarer Weise mit diesem verbunden ist. Der Hilfsrahmen 18 ist einerseits gelenkig mit einem Unterlenker 36 oder einem Unterlenkerpaar verbunden, der in gelenkiger Lagerung zur Höhenverstellung des Plattenverdichters 10 winkelverstellbar an einem Schwenkgelenk 38 am Trägergerät 14 gelagert ist. Ein am Unterlenker 36 angreifender und am Trägergerät 14 abgestützter Hebezylinder 40 ermöglicht das Heben und Senken des Hilfsrahmens 18 und damit des Plattenverdichters 10 durch Verschwenken des Unterlenkers 36 um sein Schwenkgelenk 38.The Fig. 1 Furthermore, it can be seen that the subframe 18, on which the plate compactor 10 is suspended, is held on the carrier device 14 via an adjustable height and / or tilt-adjustable parallel kinematics and is thus connected in an adjustable manner to the latter. The subframe 18 is on the one hand hingedly connected to a lower link 36 or a lower link pair, which is mounted in articulated mounting for height adjustment of the plate compactor 10 angularly adjustable on a pivot joint 38 on the carrier device 14. An attacking on the lower link 36 and supported on the carrier 14 lifting cylinder 40 allows lifting and lowering of the subframe 18 and thus the plate compactor 10 by pivoting the lower link 36 about its pivot 38th

Durch die weitere Aufhängung des Hilfsrahmens 18 mittels eines parallel zum Unterlenker 36 angeordneten Oberlenkers 42 ist die gewünschte Parallelkinematik 12 zum gleichmäßigen Heben und Senken des Plattenverdichters 10 gegeben. Durch die Parallellogrammaufhängung 12 kann der Plattenverdichter 10 durch die Verstellung des Hebezylinders 40 gehoben und gesenkt werden, ohne dass sich dadurch die Neigung verändert. Um den Hilfsrahmen 18 zusätzlich in seiner Neigung einstellen zu können, ist der Oberlenker 42 längsverstellbar ausgebildet. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der längsverstellbare Oberlenker 42 durch einen doppelt wirkenden Hydraulikzylinder 44 ausgebildet; der Oberlenker 42 kann bspw. ein vorhandener Kippzylinder einer verstellbaren Schaufelhalterung des Trägergeräts 14 bzw. Trägerfahrzeuges sein. Der Unterlenker 36 bzw. die Unterlenker 36 kann/können demzufolge die als Schwenklagerung dienenden bzw. heb- und senkbaren Unterlenker der Schaufelhalterung sein. Wird der Oberlenker 42 in seiner Länge verstellt, kippt dadurch der Hilfsrahmen 18 um seine untere Gelenkverbindung 37 zum Unterlenker 36 (vgl. Fig. 2).By further suspension of the subframe 18 by means of a parallel to the lower link 36 arranged upper link 42, the desired parallel kinematics 12 for uniform lifting and lowering of the plate compactor 10 is given. By the Parallellogrammaufhängung 12 of the plate compactor 10 can be raised and lowered by the adjustment of the lifting cylinder 40, without thereby changing the inclination. In order to adjust the auxiliary frame 18 in addition to its inclination, the upper link 42 is formed longitudinally adjustable. In the illustrated embodiment, the longitudinally adjustable upper link 42 is formed by a double-acting hydraulic cylinder 44; the upper link 42 may, for example, be an existing tilting cylinder of an adjustable blade holder of the carrier device 14 or carrier vehicle. The lower link 36 and the lower link 36 can / can therefore be used as a pivot bearing or raised and lowered lower link of the blade holder. If the upper link 42 is adjusted in length, the auxiliary frame 18 thereby tilts about its lower articulated connection 37 to the lower link 36 (cf. Fig. 2 ).

Mittels des oberhalb des Unterlenkers 36 am Hilfsrahmen 18 gelenkig gelagerten doppelt wirkenden Hydraulikzylinders 44 des Oberlenkers 42 kann nicht nur die Neigung des Hilfsrahmens 18 verstellt werden. Zusätzlich ist damit auch eine definierbare Kraftbeaufschlagung des Plattenverdichters 10 über einen kraftübertragenden Kontakt 46 zum Hilfsrahmen 18 ermöglicht, wenn der Oberlenker 42 ausgefahren und der obere Abschnitt des Hilfsrahmens 18 zum Plattenverdichter 10 hin geneigt wird, wie dies in der schematischen Darstellung der Fig. 2 verdeutlicht ist.By means of the above the lower link 36 on the subframe 18 articulated double-acting hydraulic cylinder 44 of the upper link 42 not only the inclination of the subframe 18 can be adjusted. In addition, thus a definable force application of the plate compactor 10 via a force-transmitting contact 46 to the subframe 18 allows when the top link 42 extended and the upper portion of the subframe 18 is inclined to the plate compactor 10, as shown in the schematic representation of Fig. 2 is clarified.

Der verstellbare Oberlenker 42 ermöglicht es, den Hilfsrahmen 18 in einem ersten Verstellbereich zu bewegen, bei dem außer der Gelenkverbindung 16 kein kraftübertragender Kontakt 46 zwischen der Schwinge 20 und dem Hilfsrahmen 18 hergestellt ist. In diesem ersten Verstellbereich ist der Hilfsrahmen 18 über die Gelenkverbindung 16 um eine in etwa horizontale Schwenkachse beweglich am Trägergerät 14 angeordnet und gelenkig gelagert.The adjustable top link 42 makes it possible to move the subframe 18 in a first adjustment range, in which, except the articulated connection 16 no force-transmitting contact 46 between the rocker 20 and the subframe 18th is made. In this first adjustment range of the subframe 18 is arranged on the articulated connection 16 about an approximately horizontal pivot axis movable on the carrier device 14 and articulated.

Durch eine lineare Ausfahrbewegung des Hydraulikzylinders 44 des Oberlenkers 42 wird der kraftübertragende Kontakt 46 entsprechend Fig. 2 hergestellt, wodurch der Hilfsrahmen 18 in einem zweiten Verstellbereich zusätzlich zur Gelenkverbindung 16 und beabstandet von dieser den kraftübertragenden Kontakt 46 zur Ausübung und/oder Erhöhung einer auf den Plattenverdichter 10 wirkenden Druckkraft herstellt. Es hat sich in der Praxis erwiesen, dass sich bei manchen Böden 32 durch den Einsatz derartiger Anbauplattenverdichter ein signifikanter wirtschaftlicher Vorteil gegenüber dem Einsatz viel schwererer Geräte erzielen lässt. Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt einen besonders universell einsetzbaren Plattenverdichter 10 zur Verfügung, der eine sehr gute Verdichterleistung mit einem relativ leichten Gerät ermöglicht. Durch die besonders gestaltete Aufhängungskinematik 12 wird ein Ankoppelungselement zwischen Trägergerät 14 und Anbauplattenverdichter 10 so ausgelegt ist, dass der Bodendruck 34 des Plattenverdichters 10 während des Betriebes verändert werden kann. Diese individuelle Anpassbarkeit des Verdichterdrucks 34 führt auf einfache Art zu einer noch besseren Verdichtung, ohne dass das Eigengewicht des Plattenverdichters 10 erhöht werden muss.By a linear extension movement of the hydraulic cylinder 44 of the upper link 42 of the force-transmitting contact 46 is corresponding Fig. 2 produced, whereby the subframe 18 in a second adjustment in addition to the hinge joint 16 and spaced therefrom the force-transmitting contact 46 for exerting and / or increasing an acting on the plate compactor 10 compressive force. It has been found in practice that in some soils 32 can be achieved by the use of such attachment plate compactors a significant economic advantage over the use of much heavier equipment. The present invention provides a particularly universally applicable plate compactor 10 which enables very good compressor performance with a relatively lightweight device. Due to the specially designed suspension kinematics 12, a coupling element between the carrier device 14 and mounting plate compressor 10 is designed so that the bottom pressure 34 of the plate compactor 10 can be changed during operation. This individual adaptability of the compressor pressure 34 results in a simple way to an even better compression, without the weight of the plate compactor 10 must be increased.

Der kraftübertragende Kontakt 46 zwischen der Oberseite der Schwinge 20 und einer Anlageplatte 48 des Hilfsrahmens 18 kann insbesondere gemäß Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 durch ein elastisch nachgiebiges Kontaktelement 50 wie bspw. ein Gummipufferelement o. dgl. ausgestaltet sein. Als Kontaktelemente 50 kommen elastische Elemente mit linearer oder progressiver Federkennung, insbesondere Gummifederelemente, Kunststoff- oder Metallfedern oder auch fluidisch wirkende Feder- und/oder Dämpfungselemente in Frage. Die Ausgestaltung des kraftübertragenden Kontaktes 46 zwischen Hilfsrahmen 18 und Plattenverdichter 10 bzw. dessen Schwinge 20 sorgt für eine effektive und variabel beeinflussbare Kraftübertragung, ohne dass es zu unerwünschten Kraftspitzen kommt, die bei dem schwingenden Plattenverdichter 10 und einem unelastischen Kontakt unvermeidlich wären.The force-transmitting contact 46 between the top of the rocker 20 and a contact plate 48 of the subframe 18 may in particular according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 be configured by an elastically resilient contact element 50 such as, for example, a rubber buffer element o. As contact elements 50 are elastic elements with linear or progressive spring detection, in particular rubber spring elements, plastic or metal springs or fluidic spring and / or damping elements in question. The design of the force-transmitting contact 46 between the subframe 18 and plate compactor 10 and its rocker 20 ensures an effective and variably modifiable power transmission, without causing undesirable force peaks, which would be unavoidable in the oscillating plate compactor 10 and inelastic contact.

Die gezeigte Ausgestaltung der Anordnung ermöglicht auf einfache Art eine effektivere Verdichtungsarbeit, ohne dass das Eigengewicht des Plattenverdichters erhöht werden muss. Die gezeigte Aufhängung ist so ausgelegt, dass durch die Bewegung des Schaufelkippzylinders bzw. des hydraulischen Oberlenkers 42 über die Parallellogrammkinematik 12 eine horizontal einwirkende Kraft über am Rahmen 18 beweglich angebrachte Schwinge 20 in eine vertikal nach unten wirkende Kraft 34 umgeleitet werden kann. Da der hydraulische Kreis und ein zumindest hydraulischer Zylinder 44 zum Kippen einer Schaufel oder eines Anbaugerätes bei jedem Trägergerät 14 vorhanden sind, wird kein zusätzlicher Steuerkreis oder Hydraulikzylinder benötigt. Der Hilfsrahmen 18 liefert über die Schwinge 20 die Verbindung zum Oberteil 24 des Plattenverdichters 10. Die Schwinge 20 ist nur am Rahmen 18 und am Oberteil 24 freischwingend gelagert. Dadurch entsteht kein Taumeleffekt mehr. Um ein optimales Verschieben über das zu verdichtende Material 32 zu erreichen, sind die beiden Lagerungspunkte 16 und 22 in etwa auf gleicher Höhe angebracht. Wenn mit dem Schaufelkippzylinder 44 eine Kippbewegung um die untere Schwenklagerung 37 des Unterlenkers 36 in Richtung Rahmen 18 erfolgt (vgl. Fig. 2), legt sich der Rahmen 18 mit seiner Kontakt- oder Anlageplatte 48 gegen den Gummipuffer des Kontaktelements 50. Es entsteht eine Hebelwirkung; die horizontal einwirkende Kraft wird dadurch über die Lagerung 16 am Rahmen 18 über die Lagerung 22 am Oberteil 24 des Plattenverdichters 10 in eine vertikal nach unten einwirkende Kraft 34 umgeleitet (Fig. 2). Der Gummipuffer bzw. das elastische Element 50 kann auch aus einer Feder oder ähnlichem bestehen.The embodiment of the arrangement shown allows in a simple way a more effective compaction work, without the weight of the plate compactor must be increased. The suspension shown is designed so that by the movement of the Schaufelkippzylinders or the hydraulic upper link 42 via the Parallellogrammkinematik 12 a horizontally acting force on the frame 18th movably mounted rocker 20 can be redirected into a vertically downward force 34. Since the hydraulic circuit and at least one hydraulic cylinder 44 for tilting a bucket or an attachment are present in each carrier 14, no additional control circuit or hydraulic cylinder is needed. The subframe 18 provides via the rocker 20, the connection to the upper part 24 of the plate compactor 10. The rocker 20 is mounted only on the frame 18 and the upper part 24 free-swinging. This creates no more tumbling effect. In order to achieve an optimal displacement over the material to be compacted 32, the two mounting points 16 and 22 are mounted approximately at the same height. If a tilting movement takes place with the blade tilting cylinder 44 about the lower pivot bearing 37 of the lower link 36 in the direction of the frame 18 (cf. Fig. 2 ), the frame 18 rests with its contact or abutment plate 48 against the rubber buffer of the contact element 50. There is a lever effect; The horizontally acting force is thereby diverted via the bearing 16 on the frame 18 via the bearing 22 on the upper part 24 of the plate compactor 10 in a vertically downwardly acting force 34 ( Fig. 2 ). The rubber buffer or the elastic element 50 may also consist of a spring or the like.

Wie es die Fig. 3 beispielhaft verdeutlicht, kann zudem am Hydraulikzylinder 44 ein Drucksensor 52 vorgesehen sein. Über diesen Drucksensor kann über den hydraulischen Druck die Last ermittelt werden, mit der der Plattenverdichter 10 belastet wird. Somit können verschiedene Materialien im Untergrund 32 mit unterschiedlichen Kräften 34 durch das Verdichtungsgerät optimal verdichtet werden, ohne dass die Nutzlast des Trägergerätes 14 überschritten wird. Weiterhin kann dem Plattenverdichter 10 ein zusätzlicher Beschleunigungssensor 54 zugeordnet sein, der wahlweise am schwingenden Unterteil 28 oder am nichtschwingenden Oberteil 24 angeordnet sein kann (vgl. Fig. 3). Ggf. kann der Beschleunigungssensor 54 auch an der Schwinge 20 angeordnet sein (nicht dargestellt), oder es kann ein weiterer Beschleunigungssensor an der Schwinge 20 platziert werden. Dieser Beschleunigungssensor 54 kann dazu dienen, aussagekräftige Parameter über die Tragfähigkeit des zu verdichtenden Bodens 32 zu gewinnen, während der Drucksensor 52 Daten über die tatsächliche Druckkraft 34 liefert, die in den Boden 32 eingeleitet wird. Der Beschleunigungssensor 54 liefert somit Daten, die Rückschlüsse auf die Bodensteifigkeit erlauben; zudem liefert er Messdaten zur Schwingungsfrequenz und zur Schwingungsamplitude des Plattenverdichters 10.Like the Fig. 3 By way of example, a pressure sensor 52 can also be provided on the hydraulic cylinder 44. About this pressure sensor can be determined by the hydraulic pressure, the load with which the plate compactor 10 is charged. Thus, various materials in the ground 32 with different forces 34 can be optimally compressed by the compacting device, without the payload of the carrier device 14 is exceeded. Furthermore, the plate compactor 10 may be associated with an additional acceleration sensor 54, which may optionally be arranged on the oscillating lower part 28 or on the non-oscillating upper part 24 (cf. Fig. 3 ). Possibly. For example, the acceleration sensor 54 may also be disposed on the rocker 20 (not shown), or another acceleration sensor may be placed on the rocker 20. This acceleration sensor 54 may serve to obtain meaningful parameters on the carrying capacity of the soil 32 to be compacted while the pressure sensor 52 provides data on the actual pressure force 34 introduced into the soil 32. The acceleration sensor 54 thus provides data that allow conclusions about the soil stiffness; In addition, it provides measurement data for the oscillation frequency and the oscillation amplitude of the plate compactor 10.

Die von den Sensoren 52 und 54 gelieferten Ausgangssignale 56 bzw. 58 können in einer zentralen Auswerteschaltung 60 erfasst, verarbeitet und zur Generierung von Messdaten 62 verwendet, die zur Steuerung des Plattenverdichters 10, insbesondere seiner schwingungserzeugenden Bauteile wie des Ölmotors 26 und/oder zur Steuerung des Stellzylinders 44 genutzt werden können, ggf. unter zusätzlicher Berücksichtigung von gespeicherten und/oder aktualisierbaren Kennfeldwerten, in denen Bodenparameter und/oder Parameter des jeweils verwendeten Plattenverdichters 10 sowie auch Betriebseigenschaften des Trägergeräts 14 enthalten sein können.The output signals 56 and 58 delivered by the sensors 52 and 54 can be detected in a central evaluation circuit 60, processed and used to generate measurement data 62, which is used to control the plate compactor 10, in particular its vibration generating components such as the oil engine 26 and / or for controlling the actuating cylinder 44 may be used, optionally with additional consideration of stored and / or updatable map values in which soil parameters and / or parameters of the particular plate compactor 10 used as well as operating characteristics of the carrier device 14th may be included.

Die Messdaten 62 können wahlweise visualisiert und z.B. über einen Bildschirm 64 oder ein anderes Ausgabegerät dem Fahrzeugführer angezeigt werden.The measurement data 62 can optionally be visualized and e.g. displayed to the driver via a screen 64 or other output device.

Die Datenübertragung der Ausgangssignale 56 und 58 sowie der Messdaten 62 kann bspw. über einen CAN-Bus oder eine andere geeignete Signalübertragungsmethode erfolgen.The data transmission of the output signals 56 and 58 as well as the measurement data 62 can take place, for example, via a CAN bus or another suitable signal transmission method.

Zusätzlich kann die gezeigte Auswerteschaltung 60 auch als Regelschaltung fungieren, die aus den Messdaten und/oder Kennfelddaten den Plattenverdichter 10 und/oder seine Aufhängung steuern bzw. regeln kann.In addition, the evaluation circuit 60 shown can also function as a control circuit which can control or regulate the plate compressor 10 and / or its suspension from the measured data and / or characteristic map data.

Wahlweise können auch mehrere Plattenverdichter 10 mit den gleichen erfindungsgemäßen Vorteilen nebeneinander angebracht werden.Optionally, a plurality of plate compactors 10 with the same advantages according to the invention can be mounted side by side.

Die Erfindung wurde unter Bezugnahme auf eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform beschrieben. Es ist jedoch für einen Fachmann vorstellbar, dass Abwandlungen oder Änderungen der Erfindung gemacht werden können, ohne dabei den Schutzbereich der nachstehenden Ansprüche zu verlassen.The invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications or changes may be made to the invention without departing from the scope of the following claims.
