Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sludge distributor mast, a sludge pump and a sludge delivery system.
- a flexible and situation-adapted use of a sludge distributor boom and a sludge pump for sludge of different weights - even heavier than the design corresponds to - is therefore not readily possible. Buckets that are lifted by crane are therefore regularly used to convey such particularly heavy thick materials.
- the sludge distributor boom can be mechanically modified to suit the application and fitted with a shorter sludge arrangement, which is expensive and permanently restricts the maximum working range of the sludge distributor boom.
- thick matter distributor booms and thick matter pumps are problematic when conveying particularly heavy thick matter or under changing external conditions, in which the stability of the entire thick matter conveying system reaches its limits. This limit is usually not automatically taken into account by the thick matter conveying system, but can at best be recognized by the user, which in turn depends on his experience.
- the stability during operation of the thick material conveying system is fundamentally not reliably guaranteed. As a rule, therefore, such a promotion of overly heavy thick matter is prohibited.
- a thick matter distributor boom for distributing a thick matter to be conveyed by means of a thick matter pump, with a slewing gear that can be rotated about a vertical axis at a maximum rotational speed, a boom arrangement with at least a first boom arm and a second boom arm, with the first boom arm on a proximal end of the mast arrangement is connected to the slewing gear, and wherein the mast arms each have a maximum working range, a delivery line extending over the mast arrangement, which comprises a proximal end that can be connected to an outlet of a sludge pump and a distal end, the distal end of the conveying line at a distal end of the mast arrangement merges into an end hose, a receiving unit for receiving at least one item of operating information, a processing unit for determining a currently permissible working range of each of the first mast arm and the second ma arm and/or B determining a currently permissible slewing gear speed, in each case dependent
- a thick matter pump for conveying a thick matter through a delivery line of a thick matter distribution boom is also disclosed, with a core pump in a double-piston design. type that has a maximum pumping speed, an S-tube that can be switched over at a maximum switching speed, which has an end that is arranged at an outlet of the sludge pump and that can be connected to a delivery line, a receiving unit for receiving at least one item of operating information, a processing unit for determining a currently permissible pumping speed and/or for determining a currently permissible switching speed, each depending on the at least one piece of operating information received, and a control unit for limiting the pumping speed to the currently permissible pumping speed if the determined currently permissible pumping speed is less than the maximum pumping speed, and/or for limiting the switching speed if the determined currently permissible switching speed is less than the maximum switching speed.
- a pump frequency can also be considered instead of the pump speed, and a switching frequency can be considered instead of the switching speed
- a thick matter conveying system is also disclosed, with a thick matter distributor mast for distributing thick matter to be conveyed, a thick matter pump for conveying the thick matter through a delivery line of the thick matter distributor mast, and a substructure on which the thick matter distributor mast and the thick matter pump are arranged, the substructure comprising: a supporting structure for supporting the substructure, the supporting structure having a stability area with a first threshold and with an upper limit defined by a maximum stability parameter, a receiving unit for receiving at least one item of operating information, a processing unit for determining a current stability parameter, depending on the at least one received operating information, and for determining a stability parameter to be expected in the future, depending on the at least one item of operating information received and at least one piece of prognosis information that is characteristic of a predicted change in the stability parameter after proper operation of at least one component of the thick matter distributor boom and/or the thick matter pump, and a control unit for controlling an operating parameter of at least one component of the thick matter distributor boom and/or or the
- the sludge distributor boom according to the invention and the sludge pump according to the invention can be arranged on a stationary or mobile substructure.
- the substructure of the inventive thick matter conveying system can also be mobile or stationary.
- the sludge distributor boom according to the invention, the sludge pump according to the invention and the sludge conveyor system according to the invention are designed, for example, as a truck-mounted concrete pump.
- the invention is a particularly advantageous embodiment of a sludge distributor boom, a sludge pump and a sludge conveying system, with a dynamic and situation-dependent determination of permissible operating parameters of the components involved in real time.
- the individual components considered can each be properly operated up to a permissible operating parameter, so that it is also possible to use thick matter conveying in scenarios in which a safe and efficient use of conventional thick matter conveying systems and without the risk of damage to the high-density matter conveying system is not possible or only possible in a complex manner, for example through assembly work. Both the components of the sludge distributor boom and the sludge pump are taken into account.
- the mast arrangement can generate more load moment than the substructure can absorb.
- the working area of each individual mast arm of the mast arrangement can be limited in such a way that the stability of the entire system is nevertheless maintained. Overloading of individual components can be avoided.
- This also makes thick material conveyor systems possible for specialized applications in which, for example, the mast arrangement can reach high but cannot be used fully extended, and for which a smaller substructure is sufficient. As a result, the thick matter conveying system can be made more compact and lighter.
- the invention also makes use of the fact that the forces acting are lower when the speed of the components is reduced.
- the components can also be these peripheral locations are used as efficiently as possible and with the greatest possible scope and intensity of activities.
- a thick matter promotion can also be done on construction sites where heavy concrete is to be promoted.
- Safe operation can also take place, particularly in marginal locations close to the upper limit of stability, with loads exceeding the design load, for example a correspondingly high load on the end hose (eg over 200 kg).
- a particularly long end hose can also be used.
- Influencing factors such as wind speed or a maximum ground load capacity are taken into account so that the operation of one or more components is restricted if necessary. This opens up new fields of application for the use of sludge conveying systems. It is also easily possible to use the thick matter conveying system with additional loads, corresponding to a crane function.
- Dickstoff is a generic term for media that are difficult to convey.
- the thick substance can be, for example, a substance with coarse-grained components, a substance with aggressive components or the like.
- the thick material can also be a bulk material.
- the high-density material is fresh concrete. Fresh concrete can contain grains up to a size of more than 30 mm, sets, forms deposits in dead spaces and is difficult to convey for these reasons.
- the high-density material is heavy concrete with a density of more than 2300 kg/m 3 .
- Components of a sludge distributor boom or a sludge pump are to be understood in particular as such elements as are listed in the independent claims. Examples include the slewing gear and mast arm on the sludge distributor mast and the core pump and S-tube on the sludge pump.
- the components should have operating parameters based on which the respective component should be operated. Operating parameters can be, for example, a rotary speed of the slewing gear, a manipulation speed of a mast arm joint, an operating speed of an actuator of a mast arm, a pumping speed or a pumping frequency of the core pump or a switching speed or a switching frequency of the S-tube.
- the slewing gear is rotatable, for example 360 degrees, about a vertical axis, for example a central axis of the slewing gear.
- the slewing gear can include at least one actuator, such as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder or an electromechanical actuator or a combination of several, also different types of actuators, with which it can change its position relative to the substructure by rotation.
- the slewing gear includes a hydraulic motor and a pinion with a planetary gear.
- the mast arrangement comprises at least two, but can also comprise three, four or five mast arms.
- the mast assembly includes three to seven mast arms.
- the first mast arm is connected at its proximal end to the slewing gear and at its distal end to the proximal end of an adjacent mast arm.
- the other mast arms are lined up next to each other and are each connected at their proximal end to a distal end of the adjacent mast arm.
- the distal end of the mast arrangement corresponds to the distal end of the last mast arm, which also has no further connection at its distal end.
- the mast arms are each connected to one another via a mast joint in such a way that they can be moved at least, for example exclusively, in one dimension at least independently of the other mast arms.
- the mast joint is assigned to each mast arm at its proximal end.
- the first mast arm is connected to the slewing gear via its mast joint in such a way that when the slewing gear is rotated about its vertical axis, the first mast arm, and in some embodiments also the entire mast arrangement, is rotated about this axis.
- the mast arm is taken to the slewing gear so that it, for example, only, in the vertical Direction moves independently of the slewing gear and can be rotated, for example, on its mast joint.
- a mast arm has a telescopic function and can be lengthened or shortened telescopically and steplessly along its longitudinal axis.
- a mast arm can be adjusted, for example, in such a way that at least the distal end of the mast arm can be moved in at least one of the three spatial directions (x, y and z direction).
- a mast arm can be rotatable about its longitudinal axis.
- a mast arm comprises at least one actuator for its mast joint, such as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder or an electromechanical actuator or a combination of several, also different types of actuators, with which it can change its position relative to at least one other mast arm, in particular the mast arm connected at the proximal end.
- the actuators can be set up, for example, to pivot the mast arm rotationally about a horizontal axis that runs, for example, through its star joint and/or to move it translationally in one, in two or in all spatial directions.
- the mast arm can have further actuators, by means of which it can be lengthened or shortened or rotated, for example telescopically.
- Each mast arm has a maximum working area within which it can move.
- an opening angle can be defined between its longitudinal axis and the longitudinal axis of the mast arm attached to the proximal end, this opening angle corresponding to the opening angle of its mast joint.
- the opening angle can be determined, for example, by comparing the angles of inclination of the respective mast arms.
- the angle of inclination of a mast arm can be detected by means of an inclination sensor.
- a maximum horizontal and/or vertical distance is provided between the proximal and distal ends of the mast arms as the maximum working area within which the respective mast arm may be moved.
- specific maximum working ranges are specified for the individual mast arms of a mast assembly or for the mast assembly as a whole.
- the conveying line of the sludge distributor boom can be fastened to the boom.
- the conveying line is connected to a mast arm at least at the distal end of the mast arrangement. This place of attachment then corresponds to the load attachment point.
- the transition of the delivery line into an end hose at a distal end of the mast arrangement should be understood to mean that the delivery line extends beyond the mast arrangement and has an area with the end hose that is not attached to the mast arrangement. Accordingly, the end hose can hang freely at the distal end of the mast assembly.
- the end hose and conveying line can be designed separately or in one piece and in such a way that the thick matter to be conveyed is conveyed from the conveying line into the end hose with as little loss as possible.
- the end hose may have an end hose pinch valve to control the flow of sludge.
- the sludge distributor boom, the sludge pump and the thick sludge conveying system each comprise means for carrying out or controlling the method according to the invention.
- These means include in particular the receiving unit, the processing unit and the control unit and can be designed as separate hardware and/or software components or combined in various combinations.
- the means include, for example, at least one memory with program instructions of a computer program and at least one program processor, designed to execute program instructions from the at least one memory.
- the receiving unit of the sludge distributor boom, sludge pump and sludge conveying system is each set up to receive at least one item of operating information.
- the operational information is indicative of, and representative of, one of a variety of possible properties of the sludge distributor boom, sludge pump and sludge delivery system or components thereof.
- Operating information should therefore be able to be assigned to a component.
- a property can, for example, be characterized by a measured variable. It can be a question of properties that come to light before or only after the start of conveying. For example, operating information can be received by measuring a measured variable that is characteristic of this operating information.
- the operating information received by the receiving unit can specify or be the result of an upstream calculation, which for its part, for example, includes one or more measured variables.
- an upstream calculation is conceivable directly on site in an appropriately equipped unit of the sludge distributor boom, the sludge pump and the sludge conveying system, but it can also be carried out externally, for example on a server device, and the operating information calculated in this way can then be used received by the receiving unit.
- the processing unit of the sludge distributor boom, sludge pump and sludge conveying system should be understood as being set up for determining currently permissible working areas, currently permissible operating parameters and/or a current stability parameter and a stability parameter to be expected in the future. This should be at least partially dependent on, in particular all, received operating information follow.
- a currently permissible working range for example, a currently permissible operating parameter and/or a current and a future stability parameter to be expected depending on the operating information received, taking into account given properties that are assumed to be constant of components of the sludge distributor boom, the sludge pump and/or the sludge conveyor system, such as their mass or their spatial extent. It is also conceivable that the determination of a currently permissible working area of a mast arm is alternatively or additionally dependent on an already determined working area of a further, for example an adjacent, mast arm of the mast arrangement.
- the determination of the currently permissible working range of the second boom arm takes place after the determination of the permissible working range of the first boom arm, and is dependent on the working range determined for the first boom arm.
- at least the processing unit of the sludge conveyor system is designed to calculate prognosis information that is characteristic of a predicted change in the stability parameter after proper operation of one or more components of the sludge distributor mast and/or the sludge pump. For example, it can be assumed for the calculation of the prognosis information that the operating state of the other components in the prognosis period, for example 1 second, 2 seconds or 3 seconds, remains unchanged.
- An unchanged operating state is to be understood, for example, in a first approximation, as an operating state that is maintained in the forecast period without receiving a further control signal.
- stored default or empirical values can be used to calculate the prognosis information.
- the Processing unit determine a trend for the stability under consideration, which can be taken into account in addition to the current operating information in the control to be carried out by the control unit.
- the control unit of the sludge distributor boom, sludge pump and sludge conveyor system each includes appropriate means to limit a working range or an operating parameter of a component to a currently permissible working range or a currently permissible operating parameter.
- the respective control unit can additionally or alternatively also include means for limiting an operating parameter of a component to a currently permissible operating parameter if a current stability parameter determined by a processing unit is smaller than a maximum stability parameter, for example given. Limiting the operating range of one or more components should be understood to mean that an operating parameter of the respective component is limited and the component is operated in accordance with the limited operating parameter.
- the respective operating parameter can be limited to an extent of action that is still permissible, a speed of action that is still permissible, or a frequency of action that is still permissible for the component, depending on the specific operating information or the specific stability parameter.
- the operation of the component outside the permissible working range is prevented.
- the extent of the action, the speed of the action or the frequency of the action after the limitation are smaller than the maximum scope of the action generally provided for the component, the maximum intended maximum intensity of the action and the maximum intended frequency of the action.
- the control unit can determine a momentarily permissible upper limit for the working area of a boom arm and the operation of the thick matter distributor boom can be effected in such a way that the boom arm in each case is only deflected below the specified upper limit. Accordingly, it can then be prevented, for example, that the opening angle or the actuator force of the mast arm exceeds a correspondingly specific limit.
- the respective actuator can, for example, receive a correspondingly suitable control signal that is output by the control unit.
- the control unit can thus limit the deflection of a mast arm by an actuator.
- the respective receiving units, processing units and control units of the sludge distributor boom, sludge pump and sludge conveying system can be designed analogously or even identically. These can each be different receiving units, processing units and control units, but it is also conceivable that the receiving units, processing units and control units of the sludge distribution boom, sludge pump and sludge conveyor system are each designed as modules of an overall unit. Such an overall unit can then be spatially combined in a special area of a thick-material conveying system comprising a thick-material distributor boom and a thick-material pump.
- the sludge pump can have a core pump with two, for example exactly two, delivery cylinders. It is then alternately switched from the first to the second delivery cylinder and from the second to the first delivery cylinder.
- An S-pipe can be switched cyclically between the delivery cylinders.
- an additional cylinder can be set up in such a way that it bridges each of the transitions.
- the S-pipe is a movable section of pipe that alternately connects the delivery cylinders to the outlet of the sludge pump.
- the pipe section and the additional cylinder can be elements of a structural unit that is detachably connected to the sludge pump. This makes it easier to maintain and clean the sludge pump.
- the substructure is a basic structure, for example a chassis, on which a sludge distributor boom and/or a sludge pump can be arranged.
- a sludge distributor boom and/or a sludge pump can be arranged.
- thick matter distributor boom and/or thick matter pump are attached to the substructure.
- the substructure can be stationary (e.g. as a platform) or mobile (e.g. as a vehicle).
- the substructure may include support structure for support. If a sludge distribution boom and a sludge pump are arranged on such a substructure, the entire sludge conveying system can be supported and its stability improved during operation.
- the stability of the supporting structure, and thus of the entire thick matter conveyor system is higher, the greater the distance between the line of action, which takes into account all the forces acting on the thick matter conveyor system, from the tipping edges of the support surface.
- a reliable statement about the stability can be made based on a line of action that at least takes into account the weight acting on the thick matter conveyor system. The more of the forces actually acting in the line of action are taken into account, the more precisely this statement can be made. Therefore, the stability of the thick matter conveyor system can be characterized particularly advantageously by a stability parameter representing the distance between the line of action and the tilting edges of the contact area.
- the stability parameter is within a given one or dynamically determinable stability area, within which the distance between the line of action and each of the tipping edges is greater than or equal to zero, a safety reserve is preferably taken into account.
- a safety reserve is preferably taken into account.
- the upper limit of the stability range is defined by a maximum stability parameter.
- the maximum stability parameter is when the distance between the line of action and one of the tipping edges is zero. Accordingly, the distance between the line of action of at least one of the tilting edges decreases as the stability parameter increases. Above the upper limit, the distance is less than zero and stability is no longer guaranteed.
- a stability range is predetermined or determinable for each operating situation of the thick matter conveying system, for example taking into account assumed constant properties of the components of the thick matter conveying system to be taken into account.
- a contact area can be predetermined or determinable for every possible arrangement of the support structure, for example by a specific arrangement of support legs.
- the stability area also includes a first and optionally also a second threshold.
- the second threshold can be closer to the maximum stability parameter and thus closer to the upper limit of stability than the first.
- the first threshold is exceeded first, then the second threshold and then the upper limit.
- the distance of the line of action from one of the tipping edges and the position of the line of action are each at least dependent on the weight of the thick matter conveying system and can be calculated, for example, by the processing unit.
- the position of the line of action can have vertical and horizontal direction components and depend on the directions of action and/or amounts of multiple forces. For example, one or more forces to be taken into account can be predetermined or can be selected by a user (eg by means of a suitable user interface). If, for example, only the weight of a thick matter conveyor system is taken into account, then the line of action corresponds to a plumb line running through the overall center of gravity. The position of the line of action then resembles the position of the plumb line.
- the position of the line of action also depends on a force that has a horizontal component, such as a wind force acting laterally on the sludge conveyor system
- the position of the line of action also includes at least one horizontal component, and its position is not equal to the plumb line.
- the position of the line of action is dependent on one or more other forces in such a way that the processing unit changes the position, preferably only, when one or more specific conditions occur, for example above a prevailing wind speed during operation of the thick matter conveyor system , Gradually, for example by a predetermined amount in a predetermined direction Rich, adjust.
- the position of the line of action depends on the directions of action and/or amounts of one or more, preferably all, operating information received by the receiving unit and indicative of forces.
- the stability range can be described as a distance reserve that has a minimum value, if exceeded, the stability of the support structure is no longer given.
- each movement of a component can result in a decrease, for example in the case of a deflection of a boom arm of a sludge distributor boom in the distal direction, or an increase, in turn, for example in the case of a Deflection of a mast arm in the proximal direction, guide the distance reserve.
- the distance reserve is used up, a maximum stability parameter is present and the upper limit of the stability range has been reached. If the component under consideration is operated in such a way that it is to be expected that the distance reserve will increase, then such operation can take place, possibly at a reduced speed.
- Proper operation of a component is understood to mean operation that is fundamentally and technically customary for the component and for which the component is designed under the typically prevailing conditions. For example, when a component is operating properly, a specific operating speed of the component is provided.
- the operating information is indicative of a joint moment of a boom arm, of a cylinder force of a boom arm, and/or of an opening angle of a boom arm.
- the joint moment of a mast arm is the moment acting on its mast joint. This represents a moment that depends, among other things, on the total weight of the mast assembly, on wind loads, on the weight of the thick matter to be conveyed or on the weight acting on the distal end of the first mast arm of the mast assembly, corresponding to a mast tip load.
- the joint moment can be inferred from the joint moment, for example, by measuring a cylinder force acting in an actuator of the respective boom arm or a cylinder pressure acting in the actuator of the boom arm in conjunction with one or more other measurements, such as a measurement of the respective joint angle.
- the joint moment of a mast arm by means a transfer function from a cylinder force and a joint angle of the mast joint of the respective mast arm.
- the opening angle can be determined, for example, by comparing the angles of inclination of neighboring mast arms.
- the processing unit can be set up to calculate a load moment based on recorded operating information indicative of the joint moments of all boom arms, and the currently permissible working range of the first boom arm and the second boom arm, the currently permissible slewing gear speed, the currently permissible pumping speed, to determine the currently permissible switching speed, the current stability parameter and/or the stability parameter to be expected in the future, each depending on the calculated load moment. Taking into account the respective angle of inclination of the mast arms, the processing unit can in this way carry out a particularly precise determination of the stability parameter in real time.

- the processing unit is preferably set up to determine the stability parameter to be expected in the future depending on prognosis information that is characteristic of a predicted change in the operating information after proper operation of several, preferably all, components of the sludge distributor boom and/or the sludge pump.

Such a request can be received, for example, at the reception unit, for example by user input at a suitable user interface (eg by a joystick movement on a handheld controller) of the thick matter handling system.

- the slewing gear 19 is intended to be rotatable about a vertical axis, ie about an axis in the plane of the drawing, at a maximum rotational speed.
- the first boom arm 41 is connected to the slewing mechanism 19 via a boom arm joint at the proximal end of the first boom arm 41 .
- the connection via the mast arm joint is designed as a fastening by means of an articulated joint.
- the first further mast arm 43 is connected at its proximal end to the distal end of the first mast arm 41 via a mast arm joint which is also designed as an articulated joint. Accordingly, the second further mast arm 44 follows, which is ver in the same way via an articulated joint with the first further mast arm 43 connected.
- the second mast arm 42 is connected via an articulated joint at its proximal end to the distal end of the second mast arm 44 direct white.
- Each of the mast arms 41, 42, 43, 44 of the mast assembly 40 has a working area.
- the maximum working range of each mast arm is characterized as its minimum or maximum opening angle.
- the opening angle 47 of the second mast arm 42 is shown as an example, which should be defined as the angle which is enclosed by the longitudinal axis of the mast arm 42 and the longitudinal axis of the mast arm 44 connected to its proximal end.
- the maximum working range of the second boom arm 42 then corresponds to an opening angle 47 of 180°.
- a (maximum) opening angle and thus also a (maximum) working area are also defined for each of the other mast arms.
- the opening angle should be understood as the angle enclosed by the longitudinal axis of the mast arm 41 and a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of the slewing gear 19 .
- a substructure 30 is shown in dashed lines, on which the thick matter distribution boom 18 is arranged.

- This currently specific, currently permissible working range is defined as a currently permissible opening angle.
- the currently permissible opening angle can correspond to an angle smaller than the maximum opening angle.
- the processing unit 12 determines the currently permissible opening angle, and thus the currently permissible working range, smaller than the maximum opening angle. This is done, for example, in order to avoid overloading the second boom 42 or the thick matter distributor boom 18 as a whole. Such a scenario can occur, for example, in the case of a particularly high load on the end hose 45 applied at the load attachment point 46, which is regularly the case when heavy concrete is being conveyed or when high formwork is being filled.
- a currently permissible working range can be determined which is smaller than the maximum working range. This can be the case, for example, in adverse outdoor conditions such as strong winds or unpaved ground.

- a momentarily permissible rotational speed of the slewing gear 19 is lower than the maximum rotational speed used in proper operation.
- the cylinder force of the second boom arm 42 in its boom arm joint 47 can increase significantly due to the rotation of the slewing gear 19 due to centrifugal force, so that there is a risk of damage to the second boom arm 42 .
- the processing unit 12 can determine the currently permissible slewing gear speed to be lower than the maximum slewing gear speed. In this case, the control unit 13 limits the rotational speed of the slewing gear 19 to the currently permissible rotational speed determined by the processing unit 12 .

- the currently permissible pumping speed determined in this way and the currently permissible switching speed determined in this way can be less than a maximum pumping speed of the core pump 15 and a maximum switching speed of the S-tube 24. If this is the case with the selected example of the specific type of conveying thick matter is the case, then the control unit 13 limits the pumping speed of the core pump 15 to the specific currently permissible pumping speed and the switchover speed of the S-tube 24 to the specific currently permissible switchover speed.
- FIG. 3 shows a thick matter conveying system 10 which comprises a substructure 30 on which a thick matter distributor boom 18 and a thick matter pump 16 are arranged.

- the processing unit 12 also determines a stability parameter to be expected in the future as a function of prognosis information that is characteristic of a predicted change in the stability parameter after proper operation of one or more components of the thick matter distributor boom 18 and the sludge pump 16 is.
- the components considered within the scope of determining the prognosis information can be boom arms or a slewing gear 19 of the thick matter distributor boom 18, a core pump or an S-tube of the thick matter pump 16.
- the control unit 13 is set up to control an operating parameter of the component under consideration of the sludge distributor boom 18 and/or sludge pump 16 .
- the operating parameter is, for example, characteristic of the manipulation speed a of the articulated joint of the corresponding boom arm joint.
- the manipulation speed a used in normal operation can correspond to +2°/s, for example.
- the component under consideration is, for example, a slewing gear of the sludge distributor boom 18, the operating parameter can be the rotational speed f, which is a maximum of +6°/s.
- the control unit 13 controls operating parameters of the respective component such that the component is operated at a reduced speed.

- the distance reserve decreases in this case.
- the control unit 13 can control the operating parameters of the component in such a way that the component is operated at an unchanged speed.
- the manipulation speed a of the articulated joint and/or the rotational speed f would not be reduced by the control unit 13 in this case. In this case, describing the stability area as a distance reserve would lead to an increase in the distance reserve.

Accordingly, a manipulation of the articulated joint and/or a rotation of the slewing gear could occur despite the second threshold being exceeded and thus operation close to critical stability, although at a lower speed a reci a ' ⁇ red ⁇ '. A slow increase in the distance reserve would be the result.
- a component of the thick matter conveying system 10 should be operable via a control element designed as a three-axis joystick with illuminated displays, each of which represents one of the six directions of movement of the joystick. Since the operation of components of the thick matter conveyor system 10 and thus a change in one or more operating information as a result of the joystick being operated in one direction of movement by a user is to be assumed, the determination of the future stability parameters to be expected is also dependent on such an operation.
- the brightness of the respective displays can then be reduced for those directions of movement for which the control unit 13 controls operating parameters of the respective component such that the component is operated at a reduced speed.
- the brightness of the respective displays can be maximum for such directions of movement for which the control unit 13 controls operating parameters of the component such that the operation of the component takes place at an unchanged speed.
