Abstract

A building material apparatus includes at least one building material transport part which follows a building material drum, wherein the building material transport part is designed to transport building material which is to be at least partially cured, and at least one part sensor. The part sensor is arranged on and/or in the building material transport part and is designed to detect at least one intensive variable, or at least one variable which corresponds at least to the intensive variable, of the building material in the building material transport part.

First claim

1 .- 13 . (canceled)

14 . A building material apparatus, comprising:
a building material transport part that follows a building material drum, wherein the building material transport part is designed to transport building material which is to be at least partially cured; and a part sensor, wherein the part sensor is arranged on and/or in the building material transport part to detect at least one intensive variable, or at least one variable corresponding at least to the intensive variable, of the building material in the building material transport part.

15 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , wherein
the building material apparatus is a concrete apparatus, and/or the building material transport part is a concrete transport part that follows a concrete drum of a concrete transport vehicle, and/or the building material transport part is designed to transport concrete to be cured, and/or the part sensor is designed to detect the intensive variable, or the variable corresponding at least to the intensive variable, of the concrete.

16 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , wherein
the part sensor is designed to detect a moisture and/or a temperature of the building material.

17 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , wherein
the part sensor is designed to detect the intensive variable, or the variable corresponding at least to the intensive variable, via microwaves.

18 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising:
a flat probe, wherein the flat probe has the part sensor.

19 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 18 , wherein
the flat probe is a disk probe or a rectangular probe.

20 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , wherein
the building material transport part has a baffle plate, and the part sensor is arranged on and/or in the baffle plate.

21 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , wherein
the building material transport part is one of: an outlet hopper, a chute, a building material bucket, a crane bucket, an inlet hopper, or an end hose.

22 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 21 , wherein one of:
the outlet hopper is of a building material transport vehicle, the chute is of a building material transport vehicle, the inlet hopper is of a building material pump, the end hose is of a building material pump and/or of a building material distribution apparatus, or the building material distribution apparatus is a building material distribution boom.

23 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the building material apparatus is one of:
a building material transport vehicle, a building material pump, a building material distribution apparatus, or has the building material drum.

24 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 23 , wherein one of:
the building material transport vehicle is a truck mixer, the building material distribution apparatus is a building material distribution boom, or the building material drum is a mixing drum.

25 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising:
an ascertaining device, wherein the ascertaining device is designed to ascertain a consistency and/or a viscosity, or a variable corresponding to the consistency and/or the viscosity, of the building material.

26 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 25 , wherein
the ascertaining device ascertains the consistency and/or the viscosity, or the variable corresponding to the consistency and/or the viscosity, of the building material in the building material drum.

27 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 26 , wherein
the ascertaining device ascertains a drive variable of a drive device for rotationally driving the building material drum.

28 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 26 , further comprising:
a determining device, wherein the determining device is designed to determine a metering variable based on at least a detected intensive variable or a detected corresponding variable, and the ascertained consistency and/or the ascertained viscosity or the ascertained corresponding variable, and information on an arrangement location of the part sensor and/or on the building material transport part.

29 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 28 , further comprising:
a data transmission device, wherein the data transmission device is designed for data transmission of at least the detected intensive variable or the detected corresponding variable, and the ascertained consistency and/or the ascertained viscosity or the ascertained corresponding variable, and/or the information on the arrangement location of the part sensor and/or on the building material transport part, or a metering variable based on the intensive variable, and the consistency and/or the viscosity, or the corresponding variable, and the information on the arrangement location of the part sensor and/or on the building material transport part, for a building material mixing plant.

30 . The building material apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising:
a control device for controlling the building material drum, and for energy and/or data transmission, the control device and the part sensor are contact-connected by an energy supply and/or data transmission device.

31 . A method for detecting at least one intensive variable, or at least one variable corresponding to the intensive variable, of building material that is to be at least partially cured, which method comprises utilizing the building material apparatus of claim 14 .
