Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine train consisting of a road milling machine traveling ahead, which has a machine frame carried by crawler tracks or wheels and a milling drum arranged on the machine frame for milling material, and a subsequent road paver, which has a machine frame carried by crawler drives or wheels, on which a storage container is arranged for material to be paved and a screed for paving material.
  • the invention also relates to a method for operating a road milling machine and a road paver.
  • Self-propelled construction machines of various types are used in road construction. These machines include the well-known road milling machines with which existing layers of the road surface can be removed.
  • the known road milling machines have a rotating milling drum that is equipped with suitable milling or cutting tools for processing the soil.
  • the milling drum is arranged on the machine frame, which is adjustable in height in relation to the soil to be worked. The height adjustment of the machine frame takes place by means of a lifting device which has lifting columns assigned to the individual crawler tracks or wheels.
  • the road milling machine has a conveying device with a conveyor belt to remove the milled off material.
  • the known road milling machines have a control and computing unit with which the lifting device is controlled.
  • the machine frame is lowered so that the milling drum penetrates the road surface.
  • the lifting columns allow both the height adjustment of the machine frame or the milling drum and the setting of a predetermined inclination of the milling drum transversely to the feed direction of the road milling machine.
  • the known road milling machines have milling depth regulating devices or leveling systems which have one or more measuring devices for measuring the distance between a reference point have on the milling machine and the road surface to be machined.
  • the known measuring devices have tactile sensors or contactless sensors for distance measurement, for example ultrasonic sensors.
  • measuring systems known as multiplex leveling systems are used, which have several distance sensors arranged at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the substrate to be processed in order to be able to calculate an average value from the measured values of the individual sensors.
  • the lifting columns are then controlled as a function of the mean value, so that minor unevenness can be largely compensated for.
  • the distance sensors are attached to an elongated boom which is attached to one side of the machine frame.
  • road pavers are used that have a storage container for receiving the mix and a screed.
  • the mix is conveyed with a conveyor device from the storage container to the screed, the mix being piled in front of the screed in the direction of manufacture.
  • Screeds are known which float on the material to be paved. This means that minor unevenness in the subsurface can be largely evened out.
  • the screeds generally have a device for heating and compacting the material to be paved.
  • the road pavers like the road milling machines, can have a leveling device that can have one or more distance sensors.
  • the material milled by the road milling machine is removed from the construction site with a truck to be processed in a processing plant to be able to. Prepared mix is then driven to the construction site in a truck to be paved again with the paver.
  • a road milling machine can, however, also be operated together with a road paver as a machine train.
  • the road milling machine in front is used as a recycler, which mills off the damaged road surface and processes the milled surface, for example with additives such as bitumen emulsion, while the following road paver paves the processed surface again.
  • the conveyor device of the road milling machine conveys the milled material into the storage container of the road paver.
  • a road paver is operated together with a road milling machine as a machine train, only a certain amount of material is available.
  • the road paver can only pave as much material as the road milling machine has previously milled off. It must be taken into account that the volume of the material milled per unit of time or route section with the road milling machine can change continuously depending on the nature of the road surface.
  • the volume of the material to be paved with the road paver per unit of time or route section is also not constant. For example, the compensation of a depression requires a larger volume of material for the corresponding route section. Consequently, the position of the screed has to be changed in order to achieve a uniform road surface. Proper operation of the paver also requires a sufficient amount of material in the storage bin.
  • a leveling device for a road milling machine which provides a sensor for detecting the actual value of the milling depth and a sensor for detecting the current inclination of the milling drum in relation to a reference surface on the left and right side of the road milling machine.
  • the milling depth can be specified on the left and right side of the machine.
  • the milling depth can also only be on one of the two sides can be specified. In this case, in addition to the milling depth, a specific cross slope can be specified on only one side.
  • the EP 0 542 378 B1 describes a control device for a road milling machine which has three ultrasonic sensors which are arranged one behind the other in the feed direction of the milling machine. A shoulder of the road is to be scanned as a reference surface with the ultrasonic sensors. Two distance sensors are located on the machine frame at the height of the drives and one sensor is arranged between the drives. The distance values are evaluated statistically, for example an average value is formed in order to generate a control signal for the lifting device for adjusting the height of the drives.
  • the EP 0 542 297 B1 proposes an ultrasonic control device for a road finisher which has three ultrasonic sensors which are arranged one behind the other in the feed direction of the paver and which are fastened to a holder.
  • the measured distance values are evaluated in order to generate a control signal for a leveling device to change the position of the screed.
  • Distance values that lie outside the specified limits should be discarded.
  • Unevenness in the scanned reference plane should be largely compensated for by averaging.
  • the disadvantage is that the distance values can only be recorded over a range that is determined by the sensors attached to the holder. Therefore, elongated bumps that extend over a greater length than the machine frame cannot be detected.
  • the invention is based on the object of achieving improved detection of the subsurface in order to also be able to detect elongated unevenness.
  • An object of the invention is also to scan a reference area or line with a relatively small additional technical effort for the operation of the road finisher.
  • the road paver which has a machine frame carried by crawler tracks or wheels, on which a receptacle for material to be paved and a screed for paving material is arranged, is preferably operated in conjunction with a road milling machine, which has one of crawler tracks or wheels supported machine frame and arranged on the machine frame milling drum for milling off material.
  • a road milling machine which has one of crawler tracks or wheels supported machine frame and arranged on the machine frame milling drum for milling off material.
  • the machine train from the road milling machine ahead and the road paver behind it is characterized in that the road milling machine has a profile data determination device for the leveling device of the road paver, the profile data determination device being designed in such a way that, during the advance of the road milling machine, a sequence of the height of the Height profile data describing the road surface in the longitudinal direction are determined.
  • the reference line or reference surface for example a strip of the road surface to be machined, is therefore not scanned with distance sensors, which can only be located on the paver within an area limited by the geometric dimensions of the machine frame, but by means of the road milling machine driving ahead. Consequently, the road milling machine serves as a "scanning device".
  • height profile data is understood to mean all data with which the profile of any strip or line extending in the longitudinal direction of the road surface to be processed can be described, for example the distance values between an assumed reference point or a reference line, for example the mean profile in the center of the road, and another reference point or line on the road surface.
  • Under Profile data are also understood as corresponding electrical signals.
  • the height profile data can comprise absolute or relative distance values.
  • a data transmission device is provided on the road milling machine to transmit the height profile data.
  • a data transmission device is understood to mean all means with which data or signals can be transmitted.
  • the data can be transmitted, for example, using electromagnetic or optical signals.
  • the data transmission device can be a display unit on which the height profile data or data derived therefrom are displayed so that the machine operator of the road paver or another person can recognize the height profile data.
  • data derived from the height profile data can be visualized, for example, as symbols or the like, which can serve as work instructions for controlling the paver.
  • the road finisher preferably has a data receiving device so that the height profile data can be received by the road finisher.
  • the data transmission device and data receiving device can be a transmitting and receiving device, which can comprise a radio transmitter and receiver, and can be part of a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), for example.
  • the data transmission device can also comprise a device for reading out data on a data carrier, for example a drive or a USB stick, and the data receiving device can comprise a device for reading in data from a data carrier.
  • Intermediate storage of the data on a data carrier is necessary if the road milling machine and the road paver are not operated as a machine train, but rather a certain period of time lies between the work step of recording and reading in the data.
  • the road finisher has a leveling device which has at least one actuator and a control unit which is designed in such a way that the control unit, depending on a height profile data set, which is obtained from the height profile data determined by the road milling machine, generates a control signal to control the at least one actuator.
  • the height profile data can be recorded in advance over a wide area of the road surface with the road milling machine before the material is paved in this area with the road paver.
  • the elevation profile data can be temporarily stored in a memory for the period of time that the road paver needs to cover the corresponding route section. This memory can be provided on the road milling machine or the road paver.
  • the extraction of the altitude profile data set from the altitude profile data requires an evaluation of the data or signals. Since the invention lies primarily in the provision of the data, how the data are processed or evaluated and how the position of the screed is controlled with this data is not decisive for the invention. For example, the recorded height profile data or data derived therefrom can only be shown on a display, on the basis of which the machine operator of the road paver carries out manual control of the position of the screed.
  • the elevation profile data set can be obtained from the elevation profile data using an evaluation device which can be provided in the road milling machine or the road paver.
  • the evaluation device is preferably part of a control and computing unit of the road milling machine.
  • the evaluation device is designed in such a way that the height profile data are statistically evaluated in order to obtain the height profile data set.
  • the evaluation device is preferably designed in such a way that the statistical evaluation of the height profile data includes averaging and / or the rejection of height profile data lying outside predetermined limit areas.
  • the road milling machine has a device for determining spatial data, the profile data determining device being designed in such a way that spatial height profile data are obtained from the height profile data.
  • the device for determining spatial data can be, for example, an odometer.
  • the position in space can also be determined with a global positioning system (Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), e.g. GPS).
  • GNSS Global Navigation Satellite System
  • the height profile can be described for any point in space.
  • the drives or wheels of the road milling machine can be attached to the machine frame via lifting columns in such a way that the height of the machine frame relative to the surface of the floor can be changed to adjust the milling depth of the milling drum.
  • the acquisition of height profile data suitable for controlling the screed is particularly simple and reliable with the road milling machine in front if it can be assumed that changes in the height profile will only occur on one side, i.e. on the left or right side of the machine in the direction of travel are expected.
  • this situation often arises from the fact that the road surface of a road in need of repair in the middle of the road has no or only slight bumps, while the road surface in the edge area of the road often has strong bumps, for example due to settlement in the shoulder area.
  • a track is then removed for each operation, with one side of the machine moving on the barely worn center of the road and the other side of the machine moving over the edge area of the road with relatively large bumps .
  • height profile data suitable for controlling the screed can be recorded particularly easily and reliably with the road milling machine in front if the road milling machine has a slope sensor which, depending on the cross slope of the machine frame and / or the milling drum, generates a sequence of cross slope data generated, wherein the profile data determining device is designed in such a way that the height profile data are obtained from the cross slope data determined with the slope sensor. It is assumed that the transverse slope of the road milling machine describes the height profile of the road surface on one side of the road in the longitudinal direction.
  • the road milling machine has a milling depth control device for controlling the lifting columns, which has a first measuring device for measuring the distance between a reference point on the road milling machine and the surface of the unworked soil on the left side of the milling drum in the working direction, and a second measuring device for measuring the distance of a reference point on the road milling machine to the surface of the unmachined soil on the right side of the milling drum in the working direction, the milling depth control device being designed in such a way that the lifting columns are controlled in such a way that the milling depth on the advance of the road milling machine the left and right side of the milling drum in the working direction is kept essentially constant regardless of the nature of the soil surface.
  • This regulation of the milling depth means that, regardless of the nature of the subsurface, a specified layer thickness is removed over the entire width of the milling drum or roadway.
  • the transverse inclination of the machine frame and the milling drum on the machine frame can change when the road milling machine is advanced according to the profile of the road surface.
  • the inclination of the road milling machine provides information about the nature of the height profile in the longitudinal direction of the roadway on the other side, on which the height profile is, for example, due to settlement in the shoulder area changes. For example, a large depression in the road surface can cause the machine frame to tilt more than a smaller depression.
  • the profile data determination device can obtain the height profile data from the cross slope data, since the cross slope data in such a milling depth control describe the elevation profile.
  • tactile sensors for example draw-wire sensors or non-contact sensors, for example ultrasonic sensors
  • a cable sensor can detect the position of the left and / or right edge protection, which rests floating on the floor surface, relative to the machine frame.
  • the edge protector moves upwards relative to the machine frame by an amount corresponding to the change in the milling depth. If, on the other hand, the milling depth is reduced, the edge protection moves downward relative to the machine frame by an amount which corresponds to the change in the milling depth.
  • a milling depth control is preferably designed in such a way that a specific milling depth is specified. If the milling depth sensors detect a deviation of the sensor (actual) values from the specified (nominal) values, the milling depth is corrected. Since milling depth sensors can be provided on both sides of the milling drum, a milling depth (possibly also the same) can be specified for each side of the milling drum.
  • the height of the machine frame is only adjusted on the left side, for example by or extend only the lifting columns on the left side of the machine frame. If there is a depression in the road surface on the left side of the machine, this is recognized by the left milling depth sensor as a reduction in the milling depth. In response to this, the lifting columns on the left side of the machine frame are retracted in order to increase the milling depth again.
  • the road milling machine has a milling depth control device for controlling the lifting columns, which has a measuring device for Measuring the distance of a reference point on the road milling machine to the surface of the unmachined soil on one of the two sides of the milling drum, the milling depth control device being designed in such a way that the lifting columns are controlled in such a way that the milling depth on the one hand the two sides of the milling drum is kept essentially constant regardless of the nature of the soil surface.
  • a transverse inclination control device is provided, which is designed in such a way that the lifting columns are controlled in such a way that the transverse inclination of the machine frame is kept essentially constant when the road milling machine is advanced, regardless of the nature of the ground surface, so that a certain profile is also used for the road surface a certain transverse slope can be specified.
