Abstract
A soil compacting device has an upper body and a lower body which is coupled to the upper body by a spring device and which has a soil contact element. Furthermore, a drive generates is provided for generating an operating motion of the soil contact element, and an energy store is provided for storing electrical energy. A cooling air flow, which is guided through a cooling air flow guide along the energy store, can be created by an air conveying device.
Claims14
A ground compaction device comprising:
- an upper mass and a lower mass which is coupled to the upper mass by a spring device and which has a ground contact element;
- a drive that produces a working movement of the ground contact element (10);
- an energy store that stores electrical energy;
- an air conveying device that produces a cooling air flow;
- and
- a cooling air flow guide that guides the cooling air flow along the energy store.
A method for operating an energy store in a ground compaction device, wherein the ground compaction device comprises an upper mass, a lower mass which is coupled to the upper mass by a spring device and which has a ground contact element, and a drive that produces as working movement of the ground contact element can be set in a working movement, the method comprising:
- producing a cooling air flow using an air conveying device;
- and
- guiding the cooling air flow along the energy store.
