Abstract:
A soil-compacting device, comprising:a lower mass having a soil contact element for the purpose of soil compaction; a vibration generator which actuates the soil contact element; and comprising an upper mass which is elastically connected to the lower mass and has a drive for the vibration generator; a detection mass connected to the soil contact element via an elastic coupling, wherein the detection mass can be moved with at least one degree of freedom relative to the elastic coupling with the soil contact element; a measuring means for measuring the movement of the detection mass in the direction of at least the one degree of freedom and emits a measuring signal; a control means for the purpose of evaluating the measuring signal to give an actual value, comparing the actual value with a setpoint value and activating the vibration generator in a way corresponding to a deviation of the actual value from the setpoint value.
