Like reference numerals refer to like, similar, or functionally identical components.

[0052] It is understood that the features mentioned above and those to be explained below can be used not only in the combination specified in each case, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0053] The only Fig. 1 shows a roughly schematic representation of an embodiment of an interchangeable system according to the invention, which comprises an embodiment of a truck-mounted concrete pump according to the invention and various embodiments of interchangeable modules according to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0054] A swap system 1 comprises a truck-mounted concrete pump 2 and at least two different swap modules 3. In the present example, four different swap modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D of the swap system 1 are shown. The swap system 1 does not have to comprise all of the shown swap modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D. Alternatively or additionally, the swap system 1 may comprise at least one or more different swap modules 3 other than those shown in the Fig. 1. It is conceivable that the interchangeable system 1 comprises several similar interchangeable modules 3.

[0055] The interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D can be interchangeably connected to the truck-mounted concrete pump 2. Thus, in this case, one of the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D can be selected to be connected to the truck-mounted concrete pump 2. This selected interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D can be replaced as needed, in particular operator-initiated and / or automatically, with another of the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D in order to achieve a needs-based arrangement with the truck-mounted concrete pump 2 and with one of the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D.

[0056] The truck-mounted concrete pump 2 has a carrying device 4 for detachably carrying each of the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D. In the illustration according to Fig. 1, none of the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D is currently being supported. The support device 4 can have a support frame or be a support frame. The support device 4 can have a platform surface, for example a substantially flat one, on which a respective interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D can be positioned. Alternatively or additionally, the support device 4 can have a recess, in particular a recessed recess, which is designed to receive a respective interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, in particular in a precisely fitting manner.

[0057] The truck-mounted concrete pump 2 has an automatically adjustable swap loader device 5. By means of the swap loader device 5, in particular starting from the Fig. 1, the interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D to be carried can be positioned on the carrying device 4. A respective interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D positioned on the carrying device 4 and thus carried can be removed from the carrying device 4 by means of the interchangeable loader device 5. By means of the interchangeable loader device 5, a respective one of the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D can be loaded onto the carrying device 4 and, in particular at a later time, subsequently unloaded from the carrying device 4.

[0058] The truck-mounted concrete pump 2 also has a connection device 6. The connection device 6 has a number of different types of connections 7. The connections 7 of the connection device 6 are available for detachable connection to the supported interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D in order to connect the supported interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D to the truck-mounted concrete pump 2.

[0059] The various types of connections 7 differ from one another, for example, geometrically. Alternatively or additionally, the connections 7 may differ from one another functionally.

[0060] The support device 4 is designed, for example, to support the supported interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D counter to a direction of gravity G. The support device 4 can also be designed to support the supported interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D transversely to the direction of gravity G, in particular for securing while the truck-mounted concrete pump 2 is traveling on a subsurface.

[0061] For example, at least one connection 7 of the connection device 6 is designed and arranged such that it can be automatically connected to a complementary mating connection 8 of a respective interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D by positioning this interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D on the support device 4. For example, at least one connection 7 of the connection device 6 can be designed for automatic docking with the complementary mating connection 8 of the respective interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D. At least part of the connection device 6 can - as in the present case - be designed in the manner of a docking station, which has the at least one connection 7 that can be automatically connected to the complementary mating connection 8.

[0062] Several or all of the connections 7 of the connection device 6 can be designed and arranged for automatic connection to complementary mating connections 8 of the respective interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D. Alternatively or additionally, the connection of at least one connection 7 to the respective complementary mating connection 8 can be automatically disconnected by removing the supported interchangeable module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D from the support device 4.

[0063] Alternatively or additionally, it may be conceivable that at least one connection 7 of the connection device 6 can be detachably connected to the respective complementary counter-connection 8, for example, exclusively manually, and in particular not automatically.

[0064] In this case, not all connections 7 of the connection device 6 must necessarily be used for a connection to the respective supported interchangeable module 3. For example, at least one of the interchangeable modules 3 may not have a complementary mating connection 8 for each connection 7 of the connection device 6. Depending on the selected interchangeable module 3, one or more of the connections 7 of the connection device 6 of the truck-mounted concrete pump 2 may therefore remain unused. Unused connections 7 can remain free or be covered by an outer housing 34 of the supported interchangeable module 3.

[0065] The truck-mounted concrete pump 2 is a self-propelled work machine, in particular a self-propelled construction machine. The truck-mounted concrete pump 2 has a chassis 19, which supports the support device 4. The chassis 19 can support a driver's cab of the truck-mounted concrete pump 2. The swap loader device 5 is designed to position and remove the respective swap module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D along a chassis longitudinal direction L of the truck-mounted concrete pump 2. Alternatively or additionally, the swap loader device 5 can be designed to position and remove the respective swap module 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D transversely to the chassis longitudinal direction L, in particular transversely to the direction of gravity G. The chassis longitudinal direction L can correspond to a direction of travel of the truck-mounted concrete pump 2, in particular when the steering of the truck-mounted concrete pump 2 is in a straight position. The swap body device 5 is here carried by the chassis 19.

[0066] Different interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D for the interchangeable system 1 or the interchangeable system 1 can differ with regard to a number of counter-connections 8 and / or with regard to a type of at least one counter-connection 8.

[0067] For example, the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D have at least one component selected from the following group: Electrical energy storage device 21, in particular electrical battery 22, for storing electrical energy - electrical generator 23 for generating electrical energy - internal combustion engine 24 for driving an electrical generator 23 - storage space device 26 for providing storage space 27 - water tank 28 for storing water - fuel tank for storing fuel - hydraulic pump 30 for, in particular, supporting the driving of hydraulic fluid for the truck-mounted concrete pump 2 - fluid line device 31 for the flow of fluid, in particular a hose package for the flow of water and / or for the flow of building and / or thick material - holder for carrying a fluid line device 31.It is understood that the components separated from one another by the bullet point “-” in the previous list can result in a multitude of different combinations for configuring interchangeable modules 3, of which only a few will be explained in detail below.

[0068] For example, a first interchangeable module 3, 3A of the interchangeable system 1 has an electrical energy storage device 21 for storing electrical energy. The electrical energy storage device 21 can have and / or be an electric battery 22. In this case, the first interchangeable module 3, 3A also has a storage device 26, in particular a box-like one, for providing storage space 27. The storage space 27 can be used for storing tools and / or accessories for the truck-mounted concrete pump 2.

[0069] A second of the interchangeable modules 3, 3B of the interchangeable system 1 has a different electrical energy storage device 21 for storing electrical energy. The electrical energy storage device 21 of the second interchangeable module 3, 3B can be in the form of an electric battery 22.

[0070] In the present case, a third interchangeable module 3, 3C has a different, for example, box-like, storage device 26 for providing storage space 27. For example, a fluid line device 31 for the flow of fluid can be stowed in the storage space 27 of the third interchangeable module 3, 3C. The fluid line device 31 is, for example, a hose package 32 for the flow of water and / or for the flow of building and / or thick material.

[0071] A fourth interchangeable module 3, 3D of the interchangeable system 1 has, in this case, another electrical energy storage device 21, for example in the form of an electric battery 22, for storing electrical energy. Furthermore, the fourth interchangeable module 3, 3D has, in this case, a water tank 28 for storing water. Furthermore, the fourth interchangeable module 3, 3D has, in this case, a hydraulic pump 30 for, for example, supporting the drive of hydraulic fluid for the truck-mounted concrete pump 2.

[0072] In the present case, the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D each have a substantially cuboidal outer shape. Alternatively or additionally, the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D can—as in the present case—have an outer container-like housing 34. The housing 34 defines the outer shape of the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D.

[0073] For example, the support device 4 and the interchangeable loader device 5—as in the present case—are geometrically matched to the external shape of the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D. The interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D have a substantially uniform external shape. This facilitates the interchangeability of the interchangeable modules 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D.

[0074] For example, at least one of the various connections 7 of the connection device 6 of the truck-mounted concrete pump 2 is designed as an electrical connection 9.
