Abstract
The invention relates to a securing means and a method for securing a civil engineering element to a construction machine by means of a flexible securing element, wherein a first end of the flexible securing element is attached to the construction machine and a second end is provided with a connecting link which can pass through a securing lug on the civil engineering element and can be releasably fastened to the construction machine by a connecting means. According to the invention, a detection unit is provided on the connecting means, which detection unit is designed for identifying fastening of the connecting link to the connecting means. The detection unit can generate and output a signal if fastening of the connecting link is identified.
Claims15
A securing means for securing a civil engineering element to a construction machine by means of a flexible securing element, wherein a first end of the flexible securing element is attached to the construction machine and a second end is provided with a connecting link which can pass through a through-hole in a securing lug on the civil engineering element and can be releasably fastened to the construction machine by a connecting means,
- wherein
- a detection unit is provided on the connecting means, which detection unit is designed for identifying fastening of the connecting link to the connecting means, and
- the detection unit is configured to generate and output a signal at the identification of fastening of the connecting link to thereby provide information indicating that the connecting link is fastened to the connecting means.
A civil engineering method using a securing means, comprising:
- fixing a civil engineering element to a construction machine by means of a flexible securing element,
- attaching a first end of the flexible securing element to the construction machine,
- providing a second end of the flexible securing element with a connecting link which is passed through a through-hole in a securing lug on the civil engineering element and releasably fastened to the construction machine by a connecting means in order to secure a position of the civil engineering element on the construction machine,
- providing a detection unit on the connecting means, which detection unit is designed to identify fastening of the connecting link to the connecting means, and
- generating and outputting a signal from the detection unit at identification of fastening of the connecting link, or at identification of a lack of fastening of the connecting link, to thereby provide information indicating that the connecting link is fastened, or not fastened, to the connecting means.
