Abstract
The invention relates to a localization system for localizing an underground object for an earthmoving machine comprising a working part. Said localization system comprises a fastening component and a detector component. The fastening component can be arranged on the working part for example by means of magnets. The detector component is adapted to detect the object using an electromagnetic field that can be associated with the object and is arranged on the fastening component so as to swing like a pendulum, thereby effecting an alignment of the detector component under the effect of gravity. Optionally, the localization system comprises an arithmetic component for deriving a distance information of the object from the detected value. The localization system also comprises a display component for displaying and/or forwarding the detected value and/or the distance information.

11. A localization system for localizing an underground object for an earth-moving machine which has a working part comprising at least one lower boom component and an earth-moving part, comprising:
-
a fastening component; a detector component arranged indirectly or directly on the fastening component and configured for detecting the object on the basis of an electromagnetic field which can be assigned to the object; and a display component for displaying or forwarding the detector signal and/or the evaluations of the detector signal, wherein the detector component has a defined detection direction and is arranged by means of the fastening component on the lower boom component in such a way that the detection direction is aligned substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the lower boom component and points in the direction of the earth-moving part. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
