Abstract
The present invention relates to a monitoring apparatus for a ground processing machine, especially a ground milling machine, with the ground processing machine comprising at least one processing device for mechanically processing a ground surface and/or for applying a ground cover layer, comprising: at least one detection device for contactless detection at least in sections of a condition of the ground surface and/or the ground cover layer as produced by the processing device, and an evaluation device for the automated evaluation of the condition detected by the detection device. The present invention further relates to a ground processing machine, especially a ground milling machine, comprising at least one such monitoring apparatus.
Claims13
A monitoring apparatus for a ground processing machine, with said ground processing machine being implemented as a ground milling machine and comprising at least one milling roller having a plurality of milling chisels for mechanically processing a ground surface, comprising:
- at least one detection device for contactless detection at least in sections of a condition of a milling texture produced by the milling roller;
- and
- an evaluation device for automated evaluation of the condition detected by the detection device, wherein the evaluation device is arranged for determining the wear and tear and/or the failure of at least one milling chisel from the plurality of milling chisels on the basis of a comparison between a momentarily detected milling texture and a milling texture detected at an earlier point in time, and further wherein the evaluation device is arranged for determining the precise position of a worn and/or failed milling chisel in the milling roller on the basis of the detected milling texture.
