A vibrating plate comprises a vibration generator device, which can be controlled in such a manner that the direction of the action of force can be set at a number of locations, particularly in more than two locations. In addition, an advance adjusting device is provided for controlling the vibration generator device whereby the direction of the action of force is set in a position in which a maximum possible advance of the vibrating plate is reached. The direction of the action of force can be changed according to a change in the surroundings of the vibrating plate, particularly to the slope and/or the hardness of a subsoil to be compacted by a soil contact plate. Alternatively, the direction of the action of force can be changed according to the wishes of the operator.

Soil compacting device with automatic or operator-intuitive adjustment of the advance vector

An oscillation exciter, in particular for a vibration plate, has a rotating unbalanced mass () for producing a non-directional oscillation which is transmitted to a ground contact element (). In order to transmit the oscillation to the ground contact plate (), a transmission device () is provided, which connects the unbalanced shaft () to the ground contact element () and by means of which the non-directional oscillation of the unbalanced shaft () can be converted to a directional oscillation for the ground contact plate (). The transmission device () is designed such that, with respect to an oscillation plane, it has different and variable stiffnesses in different directions within the oscillation plane.
