Abstract
The present invention relates to a work train, a device and a method for distance measurement between a transport device and a milling device. During the loading of a transport device with milled material from the milling device, the operator of the milling device normally transmits control commands to the transport device driver for coordination of the loading process. Through the automated distance measuring between the transport device and the milling device and control of a display device according to the present invention, this task is taken over from the operator of the milling device, who can concentrate on the actual milling process.
Claims17
A work train comprising:
- a milling device having an engine frame, a milling rotor for milling off of the ground surface and a conveyor device for removal of the milled material;
- and
- a transport device moving independently of the milling device with a transport container into which the milled material from the milling device can be transported by the conveyor device;
- wherein:
- a sensor device that is configured for measuring a distance (d) between the milling device and the transport device;
- a control unit that processes the distances (d) measured by the sensor device;
- and
- a signal output device that is controlled by the control unit in response to the measured distances (d).
