Computer-aided method and device for optimized control of the delivery rate of a concrete pump or the like

Abstract

A method and a device for controlling the delivery rate of a concrete pump for filling a formwork arrangement with a pumpable filling compound as a function of curing-relevant material and environmental parameters, after which the installed filling compound sets within the formwork arrangement, comprising the following steps: determining a permissible climbing speed for filling the formwork arrangement with the filling compound on the basis of the material and ambient parameters, measuring the static filling compound pressure acting on the formwork arrangement during filling, and calculating the permissible delivery rate of the concrete pump as a function of the determined permissible rate of ascent and the measured static filling compound pressure at the formwork arrangement.
