Vibration roller

Abstract

A vibration roller includes a roller with a vibration generator that has at least one unbalance shaft. The vibration generator is located above the vibration roller.

1 . A vibration roller, comprising a roller; and a vibration generator having at least one unbalance shaft, said vibration generator being located above said roller. 
   
   
       2 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one unbalance shaft has an axis oriented transversely to said axial direction of said vibration roller. 
   
   
       3 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said vibration generator has two such unbalance shafts which extend axially parallel to one another, said unbalanced shafts being rotatable in opposite directions. 
   
   
       4 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 3 , further comprising a drive of said two unbalance shafts, said drive of said two unbalanced shafts being coupled. 
   
   
       5 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one unbalance shaft is provided with one eccentric weight mounted in a manner fixed against relative rotation and one eccentric weight pivotable between two radially oriented stops. 
   
   
       6 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one unbalance shaft has a reversible direction of rotation. 
   
   
       7 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising a drive unit provided in said roller for a rotational drive of said roller. 
   
   
       8 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said drive unit is a hydraulic drive unit. 
   
   
       9 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 7 , wherein said drive unit has a reversible drive direction. 
   
   
       10 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said vibration generator is located with its center of gravity in a cross-section of a plane of said roller, which extends through a central gravity of said roller. 
   
   
       11 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said vibration generator is supported limitedly movable above said vibration roller in such a manner that its center of gravity is shiftable to in front of and/or behind a vertical plane extending through an axis of said roller. 
   
   
       12 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 11 , wherein said vibration generator is supported limitedly displaceably horizontally. 
   
   
       13 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 11 , wherein said vibration generator is supported limitedly pivotable above an axis of said roller. 
   
   
       14 . The vibration roller as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising replaceable bandages. 
   
   
       15 . A compacting device, comprising at least one vibration roller including a roller; and a vibration generator having at least one unbalance shaft, said vibration generator being located above said roller. 
   
   
       16 . A compacting vehicle, comprising at least one vibration roller having a roller; and a vibration generator having at least one unbalance shaft, said vibration generator being located above said roller.
