Description

[0001] The invention relates to a dumping tipping device according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and to a baler or wrapper according to the preamble of independent claim 12.

[0002] In agriculture, harvested crops, particularly grass and straw, are pressed into bales using balers, wrapped if necessary, and placed in a field. The bales are then loaded onto a trailer and transported away. If a round baler is used, the bale's axis of symmetry is usually horizontal and perpendicular to the direction of travel of the baler. The bale rolls backwards out of the round baler or wrapper and ultimately comes to rest on its circumference in the field with its axis of symmetry parallel to the ground. Under certain topographical conditions, it may be useful to tip the bale over during ejection so that it rests on its flat front surface and cannot roll or fall over on longitudinal or transverse slopes.

[0003] For this purpose, so-called unloading tipping devices for round bales have been described, which comprise ramps for the bale to be ejected, which can be tilted backwards and downwards and can also be pivoted to the side in order to tip the bale onto its side (GB 2 305 648 A, EP 0 910 941 A1, EP 2 149 293 A1), but require at least one additional actuator for the pivoting movement and are therefore relatively complex.

[0004] Less complex, in contrast, are unloading tipping devices that comprise a chassis pulled behind the baler or wrapper with a wheel rolling on the ground and a surface that tips the bale rolling on it sideways (US 4 162 135 A, DE 41 38 499 A1, JP 3101618 B1). The unloading tipping devices are coupled to the baler or wrapper so that they can pivot freely about the transverse axis so that they can follow the contours of the ground. According to DE 41 38 499 A1, a lifting device can be provided to protect the unloading tipping device from damage when turning in the field or when traveling on the road. Here, too, an associated actuator is provided, for example, to prevent the unloading tipping device from getting stuck in a furrow when reversing and becoming damaged, or even damaging the baler or wrapper.

[0005] The present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a tipping device for round bales and a baler or wrapper that overcomes the aforementioned problems. In particular, a tipping device for round bales and a baler or wrapper are proposed that allow the round bale to be unloaded in a predetermined direction and / or in a predetermined position and / or prevent damage to the tipping device or reduce the risk of damage.

[0006] This object is achieved by a dumping tipping device having the features of claim 1 and a baler or wrapper having the features of claim 12. The dependent claims relate to particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention.

[0007] According to the invention, a tipping device, in particular for round bales, for a baler or wrapper is proposed. The tipping device comprises a first support element, with which the tipping device can be supported on the ground, a cross strut, a longitudinal strut, a diagonal strut, and a support plate. The first support element is connected to the support plate, in particular releasably or permanently attached. The support plate is connected to the longitudinal strut, in particular releasably or permanently attached. The longitudinal strut and the diagonal strut are each connected at one end to the cross strut, in particular releasably or permanently attached, and at the other end to the support plate, in particular releasably or permanently attached. The tipping device comprises a second support element and / or a spacer.The term “connected”, in particular detachably or permanently fastened, can be understood in the following to mean that the components are connected to one another with fastening elements, for example screws and nuts and / or pins and / or bolts and / or rivets or other suitable fastening elements, and / or are welded to one another and / or mortised and / or glued and / or connected to one another in another suitable manner.

[0008] The unloading tipping device can be pivotally connected or connected to a round bale wrapper or a baler, in particular a round baler, and preferably can be attached or attached thereto. The unloading tipping device can be towed across a field by the baler or wrapper. In particular, the unloading tipping device can be pivotable about a horizontal axis of the wrapper or baler extending transversely to a forward direction.

[0009] The longitudinal strut, the diagonal strut, and the cross strut can be designed and arranged in such a way that a round bale is deflected to the side and comes to rest with its flat front side on the ground. In particular, due to the design and arrangement of the longitudinal strut, the diagonal strut, and the cross strut, a round bale can be deflected so that it comes to rest with its flat front side on the ground. The round bale can roll out of or down from a pressing chamber of the baler or from a device of the wrapper that is pivotable, preferably by means of an actuator, in or on which the round bale lies or rests during pressing or wrapping. The round bale can be deflected to the side using the unloading tipping device.In other words, the longitudinal strut and the diagonal strut are each connected at one end to the cross strut and at the other end to the support plate, and / or are configured in such a way that a round bale is deflected sideways and comes to rest on the ground with its flat front side. The unloading tipping device is thus advantageously designed at least partially as a deflection device and can deflect a round bale rolling off the baler or wrapper sideways so that it comes to rest on the ground with its flat front side.

[0010] The diagonal brace can extend from the cross brace to the support plate. In particular, the diagonal brace can extend diagonally backward and laterally from the cross brace. The diagonal brace can be connected to the support plate below the rear region of the longitudinal brace. The support plate can extend vertically and / or along the longitudinal brace. However, the support plate can also additionally or alternatively extend in the forward direction V of the baler or wrapper. Furthermore, the support plate can be connected to the longitudinal brace, preferably detachably or permanently connected to the longitudinal brace, for example, screwed or welded or fastened to the longitudinal brace in another suitable manner. In particular, the support plate can be arranged on the underside of the longitudinal brace. The support plate can be triangular. Furthermore, the support plate can be perforated to reduce weight.The support plate can be connected, in particular at its rear, lower end, to the first support element, in particular detachably connected, by means of which the storage tilting device is supported on the ground. In particular, an axis of the first support element, a first support axis, can be connected to the support plate; preferably, the first support axis can be detachably or permanently attached to the support plate. The support plate can mount or carry the first support axis, in particular at its rear, lower end. The first support axis can mount the first support element and / or be rotatably connected to it. The first and / or second support element can be designed as wheels or runners, with which the storage tilting device is supported on the ground.

[0011] What is essential to the invention is that when the round bale rolls backward over the unloading tipping device to be deposited in the field, the second support element and / or the spacer prevent the unloading tipping device from being damaged during any reversing operations to turn around in a field or during a transport journey or when moving the baler or wrapper in a field. During maneuvering, the unloading tipping device is prevented from touching the ground and / or an obstacle, so that it is not damaged. The unloading tipping device can therefore advantageously be supported at least temporarily and / or partially on the ground and / or against an obstacle or the ground using the second support element and / or the spacer, in addition to the first support element, and thus prevent damage to the unloading tipping device.

[0012] In an embodiment of the invention, the second support element is connected to the carrier plate. The first and second support elements can also be connected to the carrier plate in a detachable or fixed manner, particularly preferably rotatable and detachable or rotatable and fixed manner. However, the first and second support elements can also be detachably or fixedly connected to the carrier plate, particularly preferably rotatable and detachable or rotatable and fixed manner. The carrier plate can be connected, in particular at its rear, lower end, to the second support element, by means of which the storage tilting device can be supported at least temporarily and / or partially on the ground.Specifically, an axis of the second support element, a second support axis, can be connected to the carrier plate. Preferably, the second support axis can be detachably or permanently attached to the carrier plate. The carrier plate can support or carry the second support axis, particularly at its rear, lower end. The second support axis can support the second support element and / or be rotatably connected to it. The first and second support axis can be arranged parallel and / or coaxially to one another when the first and second support elements are connected to the carrier plate. This allows the above-mentioned advantages to be achieved.

[0013] In an embodiment of the invention, the spacer is connected to the carrier plate, in particular detachably or permanently attached to the carrier plate. The spacer can be designed as a single piece, i.e. as a single component, or as a multi-piece, i.e. comprising several components. The spacer can be designed, for example, as a rod or tube and / or runner. The spacer can be U-shaped. The spacer can extend in the direction of the carrier plate, in particular extend along the carrier plate. The spacer can be arranged and attached below the carrier plate. The spacer can advantageously be used to prevent the unloading tipping device from being damaged when reversing or transporting the baler or wrapper in a field. During maneuvering, the unloading tipping device is prevented from touching the ground and / or an obstacle, thus preventing it from being damaged.The unloading tipping device can therefore advantageously be supported with the spacer, in addition to the first and / or second support element, at least temporarily and / or partially on the ground and / or against an obstacle on the ground.

[0014] As a further advantageous measure, the spacer is connected to the first and / or second support element, in particular releasably or permanently attached to the first and / or second support element. Alternatively, the spacer can be connected to the first and / or second support element and the carrier plate, in particular releasably or permanently attached to the first and / or second support element and the carrier plate.

[0015] In one embodiment of the invention, the spacer comprises a runner and / or slide rail, or can be designed in particular as a runner or slide rail. However, the spacer can also alternatively be designed in the shape of a runner or rail. This advantageously allows for sliding over an obstacle or the ground.

[0016] In an embodiment of the invention, the spacer comprises a spacer element. The spacer can also comprise a first and a second holder. A first end of the spacer element can be connected to the first holder and a second end of the spacer element can be connected to the second holder, in particular releasably or permanently connected, particularly preferably releasably or permanently attached to it. In addition, a spacer runner can be connected to the spacer element, preferably releasably or permanently connected, particularly preferably releasably or permanently attached. The spacer runner can be designed, for example, as a runner or slide rail. The spacer runner can extend along the spacer element. The first and second holders can be connected to the carrier plate, preferably releasably or permanently connected to it, particularly preferably releasably or permanently attached to it.Specifically, the first and second mounts can be arranged on and connected to the support plate in such a way that the spacer element extends along the support plate. Advantageously, the spacer element can thus be easily removed or replaced from the unloading tipping device.

[0017] In one embodiment of the invention, a spacer skid or a slide rail is connected to the spacer element. However, the spacer element can also be designed as a skid or slide rail. This advantageously allows for sliding and / or preventing the unloading and tipping device from colliding if the unloading and tipping device encounters an obstacle.

[0018] In one embodiment of the invention, the first and / or second support element is designed as a wheel. Alternatively, the first and / or second support element can be designed as a runner or slide rail.

[0019] The invention further relates to a baler or a wrapper with a tipping device, in particular a tipping device according to one of claims 1 to 11. The baler can be a round baler for forming round bales from crop material. The baler can comprise a baler frame. Likewise, the baler can be designed as a combination with a wrapper. The baler can be supported on the ground by wheels. The baler can comprise a receiving unit, in particular a pick-up, for receiving crop material. The baler can also comprise a pressing chamber. The pressing chambers can comprise one or more pressing means. The baler can further comprise a conveying unit, for example a rotor or a conveyor belt. The round bale can be formed with the pressing chamber, in particular during a pressing phase.The baler can comprise a wrapping device for wrapping the fully formed bale with a wrapping material, for example net, film or twine. The fully formed round bale can be wrapped with the wrapping material in the baling chamber by the wrapping device. The baler can comprise an ejection unit, for example an ejection flap or a rear part or a tailgate of the baler. The fully formed round bale or the fully wrapped round bale can be unloaded or ejected via the ejection unit of the baler, in particular via the baling chamber provided with the ejection unit. The round bale can roll out of the baling chamber of the baler and be deflected to the side using the unloading tipping device. The baler can be designed with a size-adjustable baling chamber or as a baler with a variable baling chamber.The baler with a size-adjustable baling chamber can comprise one or more pressing means, wherein the pressing means can in particular be designed as a belt or strap or chain arrangement or band. Likewise, the baler can also comprise a size-fixed baling chamber. In this case, one pressing means can be designed as a pressing roller, in particular a plurality of pressing rollers running parallel to one another for pressing the crop. The axes of rotation of the pressing rollers can lie on a circular arc when the ejection unit is closed, and at least one of the pressing rollers can be driven. The arrangement of the pressing rollers in the pressing chamber can correspond to a cylindrical shape, such that the pressing rollers are arranged cylindrically around the round bale and form a cylindrical peripheral surface. The pressing chamber can be arranged on the baler frame, preferably connected to it and / or fastened to it.The receiving unit for receiving or collecting crop lying or standing on a field and / or for conveying the crop into the baling chamber can also be arranged on the baler frame, preferably connected to it and / or fastened to it.

[0020] The wrapper can be designed to wrap the bale outside the baler, in particular outside the baling chamber. The wrapper can comprise a wrapper frame. The wrapper can be supported on the ground by wheels. The wrapper can comprise a wrapping device for wrapping the finished round bale with a wrapping material, for example, net or film. The wrapping device can comprise two wrapping arms. The finished round bale can thus be wrapped with wrapping material by the wrapping device outside the baling chamber with the wrapper. The wrapper can comprise a pivoting device, for example, a wrapping table or platform on which the round bale is supported. The pivoting device can be pivotable by means of an actuator, for example in the form of a hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, lifting cushion, screw drive, rack and pinion drive, electric cylinder, motor, or stepper motor.The pivoting device can be pivoted between a horizontal position and a rearward-tilted position using the actuator. In the horizontal position, the round bale rests on the device during wrapping, and the actuator tilts the device backward to allow the round bale to roll onto the unloading tipping device and deposit it in the field. The round bale can roll out of or onto the wrapper's pivoting device, in or on which the round bale rests during wrapping. The round bale can be deflected sideways using the unloading tipping device.

[0021] The unloading tipping device can be pivotally connected to the baler, in particular to a frame of the baler, or to the wrapper, in particular to a frame of the wrapper or a wrapper frame or the pivotable device of the wrapper, about an axis extending transversely to a forward direction (V), i.e. a pivot axis, preferably detachably or permanently attached and pivotably connected or attached. In particular, the cross strut of the unloading tipping device can be connected to the baler or the wrapper, in particular at its two lateral ends, along or in the direction of the pivot axis and about the pivot axis, preferably articulated, particularly preferably connected or articulated to the frame of the baler or to the wrapper frame or to the pivotable device. The pivot axis can be a horizontal axis extending transversely to a forward direction (V).The unloading tipping device can be pulled across a field by the baler or the wrapper.

[0022] The invention, as well as further advantages and advantageous developments and refinements of the invention, both in terms of apparatus and process technology, are explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments and with reference to the drawings. Components that are identical or comparable in terms of their function are designated by the same reference numerals. The drawings show: Fig. 1 a schematic representation of a combination of a baler and a wrapper according to the invention with a first embodiment of a tipping device according to the invention, Fig. 2 a schematic perspective view of a winder according to the invention with a second embodiment of a discharge tipping device according to the invention, Fig. 3 a schematic representation of the second embodiment of the unloading tipping device, Fig. 4 a perspective view of a winder according to the invention with a third embodiment of a discharge tipping device according to the invention, Fig. 5 a schematic representation of the third embodiment of the unloading tipping device, Fig. 6 a schematic detailed representation of the second embodiment of the unloading tipping device, Fig. 7 a schematic detailed representation of the third embodiment of the unloading tipping device,

[0023] Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a combination 12 comprising a baler 16 and a wrapper 10 according to the invention with a first embodiment of a tipping device 42 according to the invention. The baler 16 is used to press organic material picked up from a field into a round bale, and the wrapper 10 is used to wrap the round bale with film or other wrapping material. The combination 12 is built on a frame 14, which is supported on wheels 15 on the ground. The baler 16 comprises a rear door 18. In operation, the combination 12 is pulled across a field in a forward direction V by a drawbar 20 behind a towing vehicle (farm tractor) (not shown). The combination 12 is described in detail in EP 1 186 225 A1, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference into the present documents. It should be noted that instead of the Fig. 1, a baler 16 or a wrapper 10 could also be used independently of each other with the unloading tipping device 42, which are moved across a field with associated tractors. The combination 12 or the baler 16 and / or the wrapper 10 could also be self-propelled.

[0024] The baler 16 may include a receiving unit (not shown) for receiving crop material and a baling chamber 17 for forming or pressing the received crop material into a round bale. The baling chamber 17 may be arranged on or in the frame 14 of the baler 16, preferably connected to it and / or attached to it and / or carried thereon. The wrapper 10 may be configured to wrap the round bale 22' outside the baler 16, in particular outside the baling chamber 17.

[0025] The wrapper 10 comprises a wrapping device 31 for wrapping the finished bale with a wrapping material, for example, net or film. The wrapper 10 can comprise a wrapper frame, in this case designed as a support frame 38. The wrapper 10 comprises a pivoting device 24, which in this case is designed as a wrapping table, on which the round bale is supported. The pivoting device 24 can be pivoted by means of an actuator 40. The wrapping device 31 can comprise two wrapping arms 30. The finished round bale 22 can thus be wrapped with wrapping material by the wrapping device 31 outside the baling chamber 17 with the wrapper 10. The wrapped round bale 22' can roll out or down from the pivoting device 24 of the wrapper 10, in or on which the round bale lies or rests during wrapping. The wrapped round bale 22' can be deflected to the side using the unloading tipping device 42.

[0026] A round bale 22 produced in the baler 16 can be moved from the baler 16 into a wrapping position in the wrapper 10 using the pivoting device 24 of the wrapper 10. During wrapping operation, a round bale 22' to be wrapped lies on the device 24, which comprises a belt 26 that rotates around two rollers 28 attached to a frame 66. Above the device 24, two diametrically opposed wrapping arms 30, each with vertical and horizontal sections perpendicular to each other, revolve around the round bale 22'. Each vertical section of the wrapping arms 30 supports a film dispenser 32. The central ends of the horizontal sections of the wrapping arms 30 are connected to a drive arrangement 34, which is configured to rotate the wrapping arms 30 about a central, vertical axis.The drive assembly 34 is connected to the frame 14 by a wrapper frame, in this case designed as a support frame 38, and includes a hydraulic motor connected to the hydraulic system of the towing vehicle. During wrapping operation, the drive assembly 34 or a separate hydraulic motor also drives the rollers 28 so that the round bale 22' rotates about its horizontal center axis, while the wrapping arms 30 rotate around the round bale 22' and film is unwound from the film dispensers 32 and wrapped around the round bale 22'. Film holders 36 press the film against the round bale 22' during the start of wrapping operation and cut it off after wrapping. The speeds of the wrapping arms 30 and the rollers 28 can be synchronized to achieve a desired positioning of the film on the round bale 22'.

[0027] To deposit the finished bale 22' on a field, the frame 66 (see Fig. 2) the device 24 is pivotable, in particular pivotable backwards and downwards, by means of the actuator 40, in particular about an axis extending horizontally and transversely to the forward direction V. In another embodiment, not shown, the actuator 40 is designed as a motor (which can be connected to the device 24, for example, by a pinion and a chain or a belt), which is also used to transport the movable device 24 from a front position for receiving the bale 22 from the baler 16 into the Fig. 1 in the winder 10 and also accomplishes the tilting movement. Details are disclosed in EP 1 186 225 A1, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference into the present documents.

[0028] In order to ensure that the round bale 22' does not come to rest on its circumference on the field and can roll away or fall over in unfavorable topographical conditions, the unloading tipping device 42 is provided.

[0029] Fig. 2 shows a schematic perspective view of a winder 10 according to the invention with a second embodiment of a discharge tipping device 42 according to the invention. Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of the second embodiment of the unloading tipping device 42. Fig. 6 shows a schematic detailed representation of the second embodiment of the unloading tipping device 42. The Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. The unloading tipping device 42 shown in Figure 6 and the winder 10 essentially correspond to the one shown in Fig. 1 shown unloading tipping device 42 and the one in Fig. 1 shown winder 10, so that only details and / or differences will be discussed below. Fig. 1 shown combination 12 can be used in the Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 6 shown unloading tipping device 42 and / or the winder 10 shown. In the following, the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 6 described.

[0030] The unloading tipping device 42 comprises a first support element 45, with which the unloading tipping device 42 can be supported on the ground. Furthermore, the unloading tipping device 42 comprises a transverse strut 64, a longitudinal strut 44, a diagonal strut 46, and a support plate 54, wherein the first support element 45 is connected to the support plate 54 and the support plate 54 is connected to the longitudinal strut 44. The longitudinal strut 44 and the diagonal strut 46 are each connected at one end to the transverse strut 64 and at the other end to the support plate 54. The unloading tipping device 42 further comprises a second support element 48 and / or a spacer 55.

[0031] In the illustrated embodiment, the longitudinal strut 44 is designed as a tube and extends rearwardly from the cross strut 64. The longitudinal strut 44 comprises a plurality of sections which enclose an angle with one another and, as a whole, form approximately a horizontal "L" with a rounded central section. The cross strut 64 is in turn pivoted at its two lateral ends by axes 56 to sections 62 of the frame 66 of the device 24 which extend rearwardly in a forked manner and accommodate the cross strut 64 between them. The obliquely arranged diagonal strut 46 extends obliquely rearwardly and laterally from the cross strut 64 and is connected below the rear region of the longitudinal strut 44 to a support plate 54 which extends vertically and forwardly V and which, in turn, is attached to the underside of the longitudinal strut 44.At the rear, lower end of the support plate 54, a first support axle 52, which holds the first support element 45 in the form of a rubber-tired wheel, is connected to or fastened to the support plate 54. In addition, a second support axle 80 (see . Fig. 4), which holds the second support element 48 in the form of a rubber-tired wheel, may be connected to or fastened to the carrier plate 54 and / or a spacer 55.

[0032] The longitudinal strut 44 carries a stop at its rear, upper end, in the form of a disc 50, which is preferably mounted on the longitudinal strut 44 so as to be freely rotatable about the vertical axis. The longitudinal strut 44 is mounted on the transverse strut 64 laterally offset from the longitudinal center plane of the combination 12. The diagonal strut 46 is spaced from its adjacent section 62 approximately the same distance as the longitudinal strut 44 is from its adjacent section 62.

[0033] The spacer 55 is connected to the carrier plate 54, in particular detachably or permanently attached thereto. The second support element 48 is connected or attached to the spacer 55; in particular, the second support element 48 can be rotatably attached and / or mounted on the spacer 55. In particular, the second support axis (not shown), which holds the second support element 48 in the form of a rubber-tired wheel, is connected to the spacer 55 or attached thereto. However, the spacer 55 can also be connected to the first and second support elements 45, 48; in particular, the first and second support elements 45, 48 can be attached to the spacer 55. The spacer 55 comprises a spacer element 74 and a first and second holder 70, 72. A first end of the spacer element 74 is connected to the first holder 70 and a second end of the spacer element 74 is connected to the second holder 72, in particular detachably or firmly attached thereto.In addition, a spacer runner 76, designed as a runner or slide rail, is connected to the spacer element 74, in particular fastened to the spacer element 74. The spacer 55, in particular also the spacer element 74, extend toward or along the support plate 54.

[0034] As shown by the Fig. 1 to 7, a round bale 22' rolling off the device 24 which is tilted backwards and downwards will roll on the longitudinal strut 44 and the diagonal strut 46 and be deflected sideways by these, so that it comes to rest on the field with its flat side. The aforementioned components, individually or together, form deflection means which are configured to deflect a round bale 22 sideways so that it comes to rest on the ground with its flat front side. In order to ensure, in the least possible way, that the unloading tipping device 42 does not get caught on bumps, furrows or other obstacles during shunting operations, in particular during possible turning operations or reversing in a field, and ultimately strikes the wrapper frame or the frame 14 and is itself damaged or damages the wrapper 10 or the baler 16, the second support element 48 and / or the spacer 55 are provided.

[0035] Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of a winder 10 according to the invention with a third embodiment of a discharge tipping device 42 according to the invention. Fig. 5 shows a schematic representation of the third embodiment of the unloading tipping device 42. Fig. 7 shows a schematic detailed representation of the third embodiment of the unloading tipping device 42. The Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. The unloading tipping device 42 shown in Figure 7 and the winder 10 essentially correspond to the Fig. 1 to 3 and 6 shown unloading tipping devices 42 and the winders 10 shown, so that only details and / or differences will be discussed below. Fig. 1 shown combination 12 can be used in the Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 and / or the winder 10 shown. In the following, the third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 described.

[0036] The spacer 55 comprises a runner and / or slide rail, and can in particular alternatively be designed as a runner or slide rail. The spacer 55 comprises a spacer element 74, which is designed as a runner 78. However, the spacer element 74 can alternatively also be designed as a slide rail. The spacer 55, in particular the spacer element 74 or the runner 78, extend along or in the direction of the carrier plate 54. The spacer 55 comprises the first and second holders 70, 72, wherein a first end of the spacer element 74 or the runner 78 is connected to the first holder 70 and a second end of the spacer element 74 is connected to the second holder 72.

[0037] It should also be noted that in the embodiment shown, the round bale 22' is deposited by the wrapper 10. The wrapper 10 can also be designed as a standalone machine that is moved across a field independently of the baler 16. A baler 16, whose baling chamber also serves to wrap the bale 22 (see WO 00 / 15023 A1), could also be provided with a tipping device 42 according to the invention.
