Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for determining and monitoring the mass of the milled material removed by a ground milling machine, comprising mounting a discharge belt on the ground milling machine via a pivot bearing and a tensile connection in such a manner that it can pivot at least about a horizontal axis, determining a tensile force (F) exerted by the discharge belt to the tensile connection, calculating a mass flow (q) of the milled material removed by the ground milling machine from the measured tensile force (F) and the conveying speed of the discharge belt, and calculating the loaded mass of the milled material removed by the ground milling machine from the mass flow (q) and the loading time (t). The present invention further relates to a ground milling machine for milling off ground material, in particular a road milling machine, recycler, stabilizer or surface miner, comprising a drive motor, a milling drum mounted so it is rotatable about a rotational axis in a milling drum box, and a discharge belt for loading milled material, which is mounted on the ground milling machine via a pivot bearing and a tensile connection fixed to the discharge belt such that it can pivot at least about a horizontal axis, the ground milling machine comprising a control device, and the ground milling machine with the control device being configured to carrying out the method according to the present invention.
