Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a self-propelled road finisher according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Self-propelled road pavers not only have a travel drive, but also several other drives.
- at least one screed attached to the paver has drives for at least one tamper strip and / or at least one vibrator.
- Further drives are provided for conveyors for transporting the material to be built by the paver for screed and for driving a distribution screw for the transverse distribution of the material.
- the drives usually work hydraulically. But you can also work completely or partially electrically. Therefore, an internal combustion engine of the road paver generates the energy for operating the hydraulic and / or electric drives.
- the internal combustion engine drives at least one hydraulic pump, which feeds the drive and other drives associated hydraulic motors.
- the traction drive of the paver the drive for the tamper strip and / or the vibrators must be operated at a constant speed or frequency so that the road surface produced by the road paver does not change.
- the internal combustion engine is operated in known road pavers at a constant speed. This speed is preselected at the beginning of the installation process, in such a way that the energy generated by the combustion engine is sufficient under all circumstances to provide all drives of the paver with sufficient energy.
- more or less energy is required at times. Because the previously made speed of the engine so be selected if it has to generate enough energy on climbing routes, too much energy is available in the area of other routes, in particular downhill stretches.
- the paver is therefore operated in this known method so that the engine often generates too much energy.
- the invention is an object of the invention to provide a method by which a self-propelled paver can be operated economically.
- a serving to solve this problem method has the measures of claim 1. Accordingly, it is provided to change the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine depending on the load while keeping at least one drive of the road paver at least approximately constant.
- the invention thus differs from the previous mode of operation in that the speed of the internal combustion engine is not kept constant, but is changed depending on the load. This makes it possible to operate the engine so that it always generates only the energy currently required for the operation of the paver.
- the paver can be operated economically.
- the load-dependent change in the speed of the internal combustion engine would result in a change in the speed of the drives. For this reason, it is further provided according to the invention to keep at least one drive constant in terms of its rotational speed or frequency.
- the speed or frequency of the drives it is sufficient to keep the speed or frequency of the drives to be kept constant so far only approximately constant. Consequently, the speed or frequency of the respective drives can differ from the nominal or setpoint speed or rated or setpoint frequency for tolerance reasons, both upwards and downwards.
- the speed or frequency of the drives to be kept constant so far is thus always kept within a narrow range by the rated or desired speed or frequency is. This Range may be different for different drives to be held constant, depending on what the drive in question serves.
- the speed range and frequency range by the speed or frequency is kept constant, can vary up to 5% compared to the desired speed or frequency.
- the rotational speeds of the traction drive of the paver and / or the frequency of the tamper bars of the screed and / or the frequency of the vibrators of the screed are kept constant.
- the speed or frequency of all three mentioned drives are kept constant.
- other drives, for example, for the conveyor for transporting the material of the road surface along the paver and augers to transport the material across the paver need not be kept constant by the speed of these drives can change with the change in speed of the engine. Because, in particular, these named drives have no influence on the installed road surface in terms of rotational speed, it is unnecessary to keep these drives constant.
- the method is provided to operate the engine at such a speed that it covers the energy needs of all simultaneously operating drives.
- the drives of the internal combustion engine can be operated at a higher speed at which it generates more energy, in particular generate the powered by the engine hydraulic pumps or generators sufficient energy.
- the speed of the internal combustion engine can be reduced. It can be operated in its optimal for all load conditions speed of the internal combustion engine. This results in an energy-saving or energy-optimized operation of the internal combustion engine.
- the or each with respect to the speed or frequency to be held constant drive at each speed of the engine as much energy can be supplied as to maintain the rotational speed or frequency of these drives is required.
- a drive requires more power due to changing installation conditions, it will be supplied with the required higher energy, to such an extent that its speed or frequency remains substantially the same. If this additional energy can not be generated by the internal combustion engine with its current speed, because, for example, other drives require more energy, the speed of the engine is increased accordingly, whereby a total of sufficient energy is available again.
- the internal combustion engine can thus be operated load-dependent at all speeds of the road paver at a speed which is sufficient to generate the energy required by the drives, in particular all the drives.
- a control of the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine is such that its speed is continuously increased or decreased so far that it generates the energy required by all drives.
- the inventive method provides it further, with increasing energy demand of the traction drive of the paver of the rammer and / or the vibration device of the screed by an appropriate regulation to increase the speed of the engine so far that the driving speed of the paver and the frequency of the vibrator and the Stampfers the screed at least approximately constant.
- the speed or frequency thereof is kept constant.
- the control continuously takes into account all changing influences and thus ensures permanently constant speeds or frequencies of the drives to be kept constant.
- the resulting in load changes of the paver energy fluctuations in the supply of the drives is compensated by a corresponding change in the speed of the internal combustion engine of the paver.
- the speed of the internal combustion engine does not have to be changed, namely readjusted, at every speed change of the drives which are to be kept constant with regard to the rotational speed and frequency.
- the speed is initially controlled so that it corresponds to the nominal or rated speed or is within the allowable speed range by additional energy constant to be kept drives supplied by such drives whose speed or frequency does not have to be constant.
- the drives to be kept constant in terms of speed or frequency if they require less energy, excess energy can be supplied to the drives which are not to be kept constant in terms of speed or frequency. It thus takes place at low load changes of the drive to be kept constant in terms of speed or frequency compensation of the available energy generated by the engine between the constant in terms of speed and / or frequency drives and drives whose speed or frequency is not constant held, instead.
