Abstract
A method is provided for adjusting a temperature of a screed plate of a paving screed of a road paver, wherein the paving screed comprises a heating element for heating the screed plate. The method may include measuring temperature of the screed plate over a time interval using a temperature sensor, and adjusting a target temperature of the heating element, depending on a time profile of the temperature of the screed plate, using a control unit of the road paver.
Claims19
A method for adjusting a temperature of a screed plate of a paving screed of a road paver, the method comprising:
- heating the screed plate with a heating element of the paving screed;
- measuring temperature of the screed plate over a time interval using a temperature sensor;
- and
- adjusting a target temperature of the heating element, depending on a time profile of the temperature of the screed plate, using a control unit of the road paver.
A method for adjusting a temperature of a screed plate of a paving screed of a road paver, the method comprising:
- heating the screed plate with a heating element of the paving screed;
- and
- determining, using a control unit of the road paver, a target temperature of the heating element taking into account an operating parameter of the road paver and/or of surroundings and/or of a road surface, wherein, for determining the target temperature, the control unit makes use of information stored in a memory assigned to the control unit, wherein the information comprises a material temperature of material at delivery of the material to the road paver, wherein the material temperature is received by the control unit via an input unit that is configured to receive input from a user and/or wherein the material temperature is received by the control unit via a barcode scanner or a QR code scanner which is operable to detect a code on a delivery note in which the temperature is encoded.
A road paver for laying material onto a subgrade, the road paver comprising:
- a paving screed configured for laying the material onto the subgrade, wherein the paving screed comprises a screed plate and a heating element for heating the screed plate;
- a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of the screed plate;
- and
- a control unit configured to control temperature of the heating element, wherein the control unit is operable to adjust a target temperature of the heating element depending on a time profile of the temperature of the screed plate;
- or the control unit is configured to determine a target temperature of the screed plate taking into account an operating parameter of the road paver and/or of surroundings and/or of a road surface, wherein, for determining the target temperature the control unit is configured to make use of information storable in a memory assigned to the control unit, wherein the information comprises a material temperature of material at delivery of the material to the road paver, wherein the material temperature is receivable by the control unit via an input unit that is configured to receive input from a user and/or wherein the material temperature is receivable by the control unit via a barcode scanner or a QR code scanner which is operable to detect a code on a delivery note in which the temperature is encoded.
