Bei grossen Sportanlässen, insbesondere Fussballmätchen, kommt es immer wieder vor, dass diese kurz vor Spielbeginn abgesagt werden müssen, weil heftige Regenfällle dazu führen, dass die in offenen Stadien befindlichen Spielfelder vom Regenwasser überflutet werden und die im Rasen eingebauten Kanalisationen nicht mehr im Stande sind, das Wasser aufzunehmen und die Felder demzufolge zumindest teilweise regelrecht überschwemmt sind. Häufig werden dann Fussballspiele eben trotzdem durchgeführt, jedoch nicht mehr unter regulären Spielverhältnissen. Für einen organisierenden Verein kann ein kurz vor Beginn zu verschiebendes oder auch ein abgebrochenes Spiel nebst verärgerten Zuschauern mit erheblichem Kostenaufwand verbunden sein.At big sporting events, especially soccer girls, it always happens that these must be canceled shortly before the start of the game because of heavy rainfall cause the playing fields in open stadiums to be flooded with rainwater and the sewers installed in the lawn are no longer able to To absorb water and consequently at least partially flooded the fields are. Football games are then often played anyway, however no longer under regular playing conditions. For an organizing association one can to be postponed shortly before the start or an aborted game and angry Viewers are associated with considerable costs.
Um diesem Problem abzuhelfen wurden Wasseraufnahmeeinrichtungen vorgeschlagen, z.B. in DE-A-2 025 943, EP-A-0 120 656, DE-A-1963 300 und CH-A-471 935, welche eine Teilentwässerung erlauben.To alleviate this problem, water intake devices have been proposed e.g. in DE-A-2 025 943, EP-A-0 120 656, DE-A-1963 300 and CH-A-471 935, which a Allow partial drainage.
Leider ist das Resultat nicht völlig befriedigend und vermag Folgeschäden an den Sportanlagen nicht zu vermeiden.Unfortunately, the result is not entirely satisfactory and may cause consequential damage to the sports facilities can not be avoided.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung hat man daher die Aufgabe zugrundegelegt, mittels einer neuartigen Einrichtung am Unterhaltsfahrzeug ein Rasenfeld derart herzurichten, dass auf ihm bei jeder Witterung reguläre Spiel oder Veranstaltungen, insbesondere Fussballspiele, durchführbar sind und darüber hinaus gleichzeitig ein schonendes Pflegen des empfindlichen Rasens ermöglicht wird. The present invention is therefore based on the object, by means of a new facility on the maintenance vehicle to prepare a lawn in such a way that provide him with regular games or events in any weather, especially football matches, are feasible and at the same time gentle maintenance of the sensitive lawn.

Fig.1 zeigt ein Unterhaltsfahrzeug 10 nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, das im wesentlichen
aus einem Fahrgestell 18, einer Fahrerkabine 15, einer Ladeeinheit
40, vier Rädern 12 sowie aus nachfolgend beschriebenen
Einrichtungen besteht.1 shows a
Der als Wasseraufnahmeeinrichtung vorgesehene
Wasserabsauger 20 ist an einem an der Vorderseite dieses Fahrzeuges
10 angeordneten, in seiner Höhe verstellbaren Träger 30 wegnehmbar
befestigt, weist einen unmittelbar über dem Spielfeld 11 befindlichen
Absaugteil 22 und einen mit diesem verbundenen Wassertank 42 auf, in
letzteren angesaugtes Wasser hineingeleert wird. Der Absaugteil 22
erstreckt sich dabei vorzugsweise annähernd über die Fahrzeugbreite
und ein nicht näher gezeigter Saugmotor, der vorzugsweise in der
Ladeeinheit 40 integriert ist, bewirkt über nicht näher dargestellte
schlitzförmige oder runde Ansaugdüsen ein an sich bekanntes Absaugen.
Die unmittelbar über dem Rasen positionierten Ansaugdüsen
sind im Absaugteil 22 gleichmässig über dessen gesamte Breite verteilt
angeordnet, so dass mit ihnen eine optimale Ansaugung des Wassers
erfolgt. The one intended as a water absorption
Das Unterhaltsfahrzeug 10 soll derart leistungsstark ausgebildet sein,
dass mit ihm anfallendes Regenwasser innert kürzester Zeitdauer von
einem Spielfeld entfernt werden kann. Dies richtet sich je nach Menge
zwischen 30 und 120 Minuten. Dieses Unterhaltsfahrzeug 10 eignet sich
daher speziell, unmittelbar vor dem Spielbeginn oder während einer
Spielunterbrechung eingesetzt zu werden und es kann beispielsweise
bei starkem Regenfall auch während des Spiels vor und in der Pause
eingesetzt werden.The
Das Unterhaltsfahrzeug 10 ist mit einem Vertikulieraggregat
32, vorzugsweise mit einer Oberflächenwalze 34 sowie einer Warmluftblaseinrichtung
50 ausgerüstet. Das Vertikulieraggregat 32 und die Oberflächenwalze
34 sind unterhalb des Fahrzeuges 10 zwischen den Rädern
12 angeordnet und dabei in einer hydraulisch höhenverstellbaren
Halterung 33 drehbar gelagert. In der gezeigten Stellung sind diese von
der Halterung 33 auf den Boden gepresst. Das Vertikulieraggregat 32
hat eine von einem Antrieb gedrehte Schlitzwalze 35 mit messerartigen
Schneiden 38, welche in den Boden eindringen und eine Belüftung
desselben auf an sich bekannte Art und Weise erlauben. Diese
Schlitzwalze 35 und die parallel zu ihr angeordnete Oberflächenwalze
34 erstrecken sich annähernd über die Fahrzeugbreite und drehen sich
beim Fortbewegen des Fahrzeuges, wobei mit der Walze 34
Bodenunebenheiten ausgeglichen werden. Wenn diese beiden Einrichtungen
nicht benutzt werden, können sie über eine nicht näher
gezeigte Hebevorrichtung vom Boden abgehoben werden.The
Die Warmluftblaseinrichtung 50 ist im hinteren Bereich des Fahrzeuges
10 angeordnet und besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Lufterwärmungsanlage
52 und einem mit dieser gekoppeltem Warmluftgebläse 54, aus
welchem Warmluft aus seiner gegen den Boden gerichteten Auslassöffnung
54' herausströmt und somit eine Trocknung des Rasenfeldes
bewirkt. Diese Öffnung 54' erstreckt sich vorteilhaft ebenfalls über die
Fahrzeugbreite.The hot air blowing
Diese Warmluftblaseinrichtung 50 trägt mit dazu bei, dass ein
Fussballterrain innert kürzester Zeit in einen optimalen Zustand
gebracht werden kann. Fernerhin kann mit dieser auch Schnee oder Eis
geschmolzen und somit momentan ein schneefreier und annähernd
trockener Rasen herbeigeführt werden. Zu beachten ist dabei, dass die
Warmluft eine solche Temperatur aufweist, dass dem Rasen nicht
Verbrennungsschäden zugefügt werden.This warm air blowing
Die vier Räder 12 des Fahrzeuges 10 sind einzeln über Differentiale
angetrieben und mit weichen profillosen Breitpneus ausgestattet, welche
beispielsweise eine Breite zwischen 0.30 und 0.80 Metern aufweisen,
wie die Fig.2 zeigt. Zweckmässigerweise wird das von diesen einzelnen
Rädern 12 auf das Spielfeld 11 wirkende Gewicht pro Flächeneinheit so
gewählt, dass es dasjenige einer normalen Person nicht übersteigt.The four

montiert werden. Zudem könnte eine Einrichtung im Fahrzeug
vorgesehen sein, mittels der Spielfeldbegrenzungen gezeichnet werden
könnten. Daraus resultiert eine universelle Gebrauchsmöglichkeit dieses
Fahrzeuges 10. Es verfügt überdies über einen Motor, der zum Beispiel
mit Propangas betrieben wird. Zur Betätigung des hebbaren Trägers 30
wie auch der Halterung 33 muss ein Hydraulikaggregat vorgesehen
sein, welches wie auch der Motor nicht im Detail veranschaulicht sind,
jedoch in an sich bekannter Art gebaut sind.There could be a sand or seed spreader on the back of the vehicle
to be assembled. It could also be a device in the vehicle
be provided, are drawn by means of the field boundaries
could. This results in a universal use of this
Fig.3 zeigt ein alternatives erfindungsgemässes Fahrzeug 60, das an
sich ähnlich demjenigen nach der Fig. aufgebaut ist und daher im
folgenden nurmehr die Unterschiede näher erläutert sind. Es verfügt
wiederum über ein Vertikulieraggregat 32, eine Oberflächenwalze 34
sowie über eine Warmluftblaseinrichtung 50. Ferner ist im vorderen Teil
des Fahrzeuges 60 ein andeutungsweise veranschaulichter Motor 66
integriert.3 shows an
Gemäss der Fig.4 ist ein zweiteiliges Chassis 61, 62 des Fahrzeuges 60
vorgesehen, bei welchem die beiden Chassisteile 61, 62 über eine
Gelenkverbindung 63 aneinander gehalten sind. Diese Gelenkverbindung
63 bildet eine zum Boden des Spielfeldes 11 senkrecht verlaufende
Schwenkachse und ermöglicht eine beschränkte Schwenkbewegung
des vorderen gegenüber dem hinteren Chassisteil 61, 62,
dadurch die Wendbarkeit des Fahrzeuges 60 verbessert und damit die
Rasenfläche geschont wird, insbesondere dann, wenn mit der als
Wasseraufnahmeeinrichtung ausgebildeten Saugwalze 80 gearbeitet
wird.4 is a two-
Die als Wasseraufnahmeeinrichtung ausgebildete
Saugwalze 80 umfasst gemäss Fig.5 bis Fig.7 im wesentlichen eine
trommelförmige Walze 85 mit einem Schaumgummiüberzug 90, eine
achsparallel zur Walze 85 angeordnete und auf dieser liegende drehbare
Gewichtsrolle 87, eine die Walze 85 über Naben 82 drehbar lagernde
Achse 81 sowie eine von letzterer gehaltene stationäre Auffangwanne
88, deren Öffnung 88' sich innerhalb der Walze 85 annähernd
über deren gesamte Länge und über eine in etwa deren Innendurchmesser
entsprechende Breite erstreckt. Die Öffnung 88' ist dabei
vorzugsweise oberhalb der Drehachse der Walze 85 in horizontaler
Ausrichtung ausgebildet und der Boden der Wanne 88 ist unmittelbar
über der unteren Rundung der Walze 85 angeordnet. Die Achse
81 und damit auch die Walze 85 sind beidseitig an je einer auf der
Unterseite der Fahrzeugkabine 15 quer angeordneter Blattfeder 94
festgehalten, durch welche die Walze 85 mit einer Federkraft gegen
den Boden des Spielfeldes gedrückt wird und mit ihr
Bodenunebenheiten ausgeglichen werden können. Diese Blattfedern
94 sind zu diesem Zwecke jeweils beiden Endes und überdies auf der
einen Endseite zur Aufnahme ihrer Längenausdehnung um einen
Hebel 96 gelenkig gelagert. Die trommelförmige Walze 85 ist
perforiert und hat daher über den gesamten Mantel verteilte Löcher
86. Der Schaumgummiüberzug 90 seinerseits ist von einer
netzartigen Textilhaut 91 ummantelt und dadurch geschützt. Die
Gewichtsrolle 87 erstreckt sich annähernd über die gesamte Länge
der Walze 85, ist beidseitig je an einem am Fahrzeug 60 schwenkbar
gelagerten Hebel 83 drehbar gehalten und drückt durch ihr
Eigengewicht auf den Schaumgummiüberzug 90, welcher im
vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel eine Dicke von cirka 4 Zentimetern
aufweist, jedoch auch mit einer grösseren oder kleineren Wandstärke
versehen sein könnte. Das Gewicht der Gewichtsrolle 87 und die
Konsistenz des Schaumgummis sind dabei derart aufeinander
abgestimmt, dass das vom Boden beim Drehen der Walze schwammartig
aufgesaugte Wasser in optimaler Weise ausgepresst wird. Das
auf der oberen Seite der Walze 85 ausgepresste Wasser 92 fällt aufgrund
der Schwerkraft durch die Löcher 86 in die Auffangwanne 88.
Dort wird es zwecks Entleerung der Wanne 88 von einer strichpunktiert
gezeigten Leitung 93 in einen im Fahrzeug 60 enthaltenden
Wassertank geführt. Dadurch kann sehr schnell eine grosse Menge
Wasser aufgesaugt und gesammelt werden.The trained as a water absorption
Die Erfindung könnte selbstverständlich noch in anderen Ausführungsbeispielen erläutert werden, entsprechend den nachfolgenden Ansprüchen.The invention could of course also be used in other exemplary embodiments be explained according to the subsequent claims.
Bei Verwendung eines solchen Fahrzeuges 10 oder 60 können somit
Spielabsagen oder Spielabbrüche wegen Niederschlägen mit der
entsprechenden Wasseraufnahmeeinrichtung grösstenteils verhindert
werden. Zudem sind mit dem Einsatz dieses Fahrzeuges 10 die
bestmöglichen Voraussetzungen für faire und ohne Zufallseinflüsse
bestimmte Spiele ermöglicht.When using such a
