  • Publication number: 20240210176
    Abstract: A system for guidance of an operator during concrete compaction using a concrete compaction device includes a planning device for storing planning data. The planning data is used to define locations in a defined region, at which concrete compaction is to be performed using the concrete compaction device, and to define a sequence of the locations in which concrete compaction is to be performed. The system also includes a position determination device for determining the respective current position of the concrete compaction device, and a display device for displaying, at least in each case, the location in the sequence of locations at which concrete compaction is currently to be performed.

  • Publication number: 20240210517
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for determining the position of a vibration unit for concrete compaction which can be guided by an operator. The apparatus includes a surface position determination device having a receiving device with the surface position determination device being designed to determine the position of the receiving device in the plane. The apparatus additionally includes an orientation determination device for determining an orientation (A) of a working direction of the operator. The apparatus also includes a correction device for correcting the position of the receiving device with an offset (O) in the direction of the orientation (A) of the working direction and, thus. for determining the position (P2) of the vibration unit in the plane.

  • Patent number: 11925253
    Abstract: A drive system includes a carrying device with a wearable carrying frame, an energy store carried by the carrying frame, and at least one electric drive motor carried by the carrying frame. A coupling device is configured to mechanically couple a work apparatus to the drive system. The carrying device is formed as a shoulder bag or backpack, having at least one strap that permits the carrying device to be worn over a shoulder of a user. Two straps may be provided that permit the carrying device to be worn over both shoulders of a user. Also disclosed is a tool having such a drive system and a work apparatus, which may be concrete vibrator.

  • Publication number: 20240026695
    Abstract: A concrete compaction device includes a vibrator housing for immersion in flowable concrete, and an unbalance exciter which is driven by an electric motor and which is arranged in the vibrator housing. A current detection device detects the electric current absorbed by the electric motor. Ann evaluation device determines an operating state of the concrete compaction device based on the electric current that is currently detected. The operating state is selected from the group consisting of: positioning of the vibrator housing in the air, immersion of the vibrator housing in the concrete, performance of a compaction process with the vibrator housing immersed in the concrete, and emersion of the vibrator housing from the concrete. The evaluation device is configured to recognize all of these operating states.

  • Publication number: 20240026697
    Abstract: A compaction system has a compaction device with an electric motor for generating a compaction movement, an energy device for providing electric energy for the electric motor, a measurement device for measuring the current drawn by the electric motor, and an evaluation device for evaluating the current draw as measured by the measurement device and for determining, from this determination, the compaction progress in the medium being compacted. The evaluation device is arranged at least partly in an external device, spatially separate from the energy device and/or from the compaction device.

  • Publication number: 20240026696
    Abstract: A concrete compaction system includes an unbalance exciter for concrete compaction, a compaction detection device for detecting progress of the compaction in the concrete, and a vibration device for generating a haptic feedback when a prescribed progress of the compaction has been detected by the compaction detection device. An electric motor may drive the unbalance exciter and may be powered by an electric power supply and a converter device for converting an electric current from the electric power supply to a drive current for the electric motor. The compaction detection device may comprise a measurement device for measuring the current drawn from the electric motor. The compaction detection device may also comprise an evaluation device for evaluating the current drawn measured by the measurement device, for determining therefrom the progress of the compaction in the concrete, and for detecting whether a prescribed progress of the compaction has been achieved.
