Abstract

This device enables the transport of a pre-assembled lift system (32) to a building without this system having to be broken down. Due to the construction of this transport and assembly frame (1) the entire lift system (32) can be already pre-assembled at the factory.
Further, the length of the transport and assembly frame (1) allows transport in a standard container, so that it can be transported to any desired location in simplest mode and manner by rail, ship or truck and the entire lift system (32) is optimally protected against damage with a minimum of packing effort. Through the equipping of the transport and assembly frame (1) with rollers (15) the displacing on the construction site is facilitated.
When the rollers (15) are driven in, support elements (20) of rubber, which are arranged at a basic support (4), fix the frame to the ground. The transport and assembly frame (1) can be folded up for return transport or storage, so that several transport and assembly frames (1) can be placed one on the other in space-saving manner.

Description

-DESCRIPTION

Device for Transporting a Lift System 5 The invention relates to a device for transporting a lift system comprising all relevantelements, such as support columns, cages, drive, etc.

There has become known from EP 0 745 552 an add-on lift which is connected with an outer wall, which has shaft doors, of a building, comprising an automotive cage running in 10 guides and connected with a counter~veight by way of support elements and support frames, guide rollers, safety device and cage door as well as control, command transmitters, shaft information, stores and signalling devices, wherein the access from the cage to the building and conversely is arranged in the zone bet~,veen the guides and the guides are constructed as supporting elements for the entire shaft construction, which 15 together with a foundation module and a shaft head module form an inherently stiff and ~anspo,' r~'e frame. Drive and control are arranged in and at the cage.

The present invention is based on the object of proposing a device for the above-mentioned lift system, by which the lift system does not have to be broken down either for 20 transport or for assembly at a building.

This object is met by the invention characterised in patent claim 1.

The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in that a pre-25 assembled lift system can be transpo,Led by means of a transport frame to a building without having to be broken. SubslanLially shorter assembly times at the construction site thereby result.

Ad~ar,l~geous dcvelop,nents and improvements of the device, which is ind;c~d in claim 30 1, for the llanspo,l of a lift system are possible by the measures expressed in the subclaims. Due to the construction of the l,dnspoll frame as an assembly pldlrollll the entire lift system can be pre-assembled at the factory. The length of the L~anspG,l frame allows l~nspGI l in a slandard container, so that it can be L,anspo, led by rail, ship or truck to any desired locdtion in simplest mode and manner and the entire lift system is opLimally 35 protected against damage. Thus, the transport frame offers an optimum transport protection of the lift system with the most minimal packing effort. Further, through the equipping of the transport frame with rollers which can be driven out, displacing at the construction site is racililaled. When the rollers are driven in, elements arranged at the frame fix the transport frame to the ground. For retum transport or storage, the transport 5 frame can be folded up, so that several transport frames can be placed one on the other in space-saving manner.

An example of embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and more closely explained in the following. There;
Fig. 1a shows a plan view of an unladen transport assembly frame, Fig. 1 b shows a side view of an unladen transport and assembly frame, Fig. 1c shows a front view of an unladen t,anspo, l and assembly frame, Fig. 2 a shows a side view of a transport and assembly frame with a lift system, Fig. 2b shows a front view of a transport and assembly frame with a lift system, Fig. 3 shows a lift system during raising from the transport and assembly frame, Fig. 4 shows a llanspo, l and assembly frame in demounted setting, and Fig. 5 shows a side view of a folded-up transport and assembly frame.

Figures 1a, 1b and 1c show a plan view, a side view and a front view of an unladen ~dnspo,l and assembly frame 1. The transport and assembly frame 1 is used for pre-assembling of the lift system at the manufacturer as well as a l,dnspo,l frame for the pre-30 assembled lift-system to the construction site and as an auxiliary device for displ~r;ng at the construction site.

The tlailspoll and assembly frame 1 is constructed from steel profile members, which are partly welded together or screw-connected. Two longitudinal prohle members 2 and two 35 transverse profile members 3 together form a rectangular basic support 4. This basio support 4 forms the supporting lower part of the transport and assembly frame 1. In addition, this basic support 4 is reinforced by, for example, welded-on cross struts 5 and in the lerlhand part or foot part, as apparent in Figure 1a, by two diagonal welded-together profile members 6 against the forces arising during transport and through lifting by a crane.
5 The centre and righthand part or head part of the basic support 4 are each reinforced by two respective diagonal steel bars 7 braced cruciformly. Resulting therefrom are a short cross brace 10 in the righthand part and a longer cross brace 11 in the centre part of the basic support 4. Further cross struts 5, to which short auxiliary profile members 12 are in tum welded, are fastened to the basic support by way of these cross braces 10, 11.
10 These auxiliary profile members 12 have no supporting or stabilising function. They merely serve for the reception of demountable supports and struts, so that the transport and assembly frame 1 can be folded up for transport or storage without a lift system, as is further described in connection with Figure 5.

15 Four rollers 15, for example synthetic material rollers, serve for the horizontal displacing of the transport and assembly frame 1. These rollers 15 can be lowered or raised by a hydraulic hand pump 16, which is specifically provided for that purpose, by way of hydraulic cylinders 17 and respective connecting rods 18. When the rollers 15 are raised, the transport and assembly frame 1 stands on support elements 20, for example of rubber, 20 specifically provided for that purpose. Disposed at one transverse profile member 3 in the middle is a support element 20, whilst mounted at the second transverse profile member 3 are two support elements 20 each at the outside. The possibility also exists of providing two support elements 20 respectively at the two transverse profile members 3.

25 Further, several flanges 21 are welded to the basic support 4 and serve for fastening of vertical girders 22, 23 arranged at the head end and foot end. Rest plates 24 for the lift system are mounted on these vertical girders 22, 23. Per side, for example, six vertical supports 22, 23 are so faste"ed by means of screws or bolts that they can be folded down in longitudinal direction, as is also clarified in more detail in Figure 5.
In the longitudinal direction of the basic support 4 the vertical girders 22, 23 are stabilised relative to one another by diagonal struts 25 a"anged from below to above and struts 26 at the foot end. The struts 26 at the foot end serve as fastening for a pivotable upper front frame 30, which is retained by a fastening bolt 31 at each side of the strut 26 at the foot 35 end.

Figures 2a and 2b show a side view and a front view of the transport and assembly frame 1 with a lift system 32. The upper foot frame 30, which serves for the fastening of support columns 33 and a cage 34 of the lift system 32, is fastened at the lower end of the basic 5 support 4 by bolts to the flanges 21. The upper foot frame 30 is thereby pivotable outwardly as soon as the fastening bolts 31 are released.

A lower foot frame 35 for the fastening of a lift system 32 without cage 34 is fastened at the lower end of the basic support 4 within the upper foot frame 30 by bolts to the flanges - 10 21.

A respective rest plate 24 for reception and fastening of the support columns 33 at the level of the cage 34 is fixedly screw-connected to the upper side of the vertical girders 23 at the foot end. Each two pairs of vertical girders 22 at the head end are connected 15 together by a respective longitudinal strut 36. Rest supports 37 are transversely placed on and fixedly screw-connected to these longitudinal struts 36. The rest plates 24 are respectively mounted on these rest supports 37. The rest plates 24 serve as receptacle for the support columns 33 of the lift system 32 and the fastening thereof, for example by means of groove blocks.
Holders 41, which are displaceable in longitudinal direction, are mounted within the basic support 4 on additional longitudinal girder pairs 40, preferably four per side. Through release of a clamping screw 42 an upper limb 43 of the displaceable holder 41 can be folded up. An upper half of the support column of the lift system 32 is laid into the folded-25 up holder 41 and secured, by closing the upper limb 43, for transport.

For use as a transport frame all movable parts of the transport and assembly frame 1 arefirmly screw-connected. The lift system 32 lies on the transport and assembly frame 1 and logeU,er with the support columns 32 is screw-conne~,led thereto by means of groove 30 blocks. The transport and assembly frame 1 is so designed with respect to size that it can support a ~" ,~lete lift system 32 up to a lifting height of about 9 metres, that is to say up to a maximum column length of about 11.5 metres.

The transport and assembly frame 1 can, however, also accept lift systems 32 with twice 35 the lifting height, so-called two-part lift systems. For that purpose the lift system 32 is subdivided into a lower part with the lower half of the support column 33 and the cage 34 and an upper part with the upper support column half. The lower half of the support column 33 together with the cage 34 is mounted at the top on the transport and assembly frame 1, whilst the upper support column half lies at the bottom on the additional longitudinal girder pairs 40 and is held in place by the displaceable holders 41.

The length of the transport and assembly frame 1 permits transport in a standard container with a length of 12 metres. Thus, the transport and assembly frame 1 can be conveniently transported by rail, ship or truck to any desired location and the lift system 32 is optimally 10 protected against damage.

Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show a lift system 32 during raising from the transport and assembly frame 1, or the transport and assembly frame 1 in demounted setting. The upper and the lower foot frames 30, 35, which are both pivotable, serve as assembly aid. In order to be 15 able to pivot the two foot frames 30, 35, merely the fastening bolts 31 have to be released.
During raising of the lift system 32 Iying at the top or the upper support column half Iying at the bottom by a crane 47 the foot frames 30, 35 pivot and help to stabilise the lift system 32. When the lift system 32 is held by the crane 47 vertically above the foot frames 30, 35, the support columns 33 can be released or the lift system 32 displ-ced by the crane 47 20 into the building.

Fig. 5 shows a side view of a folded-together transport and assembly frame 1. After removal of the lift system 32 the transport and assembly frame 1 can be folded together, to about a quarter of the original height, by a few manipulations for retum transport. During 25 folding together of the llanspo,l and assembly frame 1 the struts 25 and the struts 26 at the foot end are demounted. They are placed in the basic support 4 in the auxiliary profile members 12 specifically provided for that purpose and secured by the respective fastening bolts.

30 For storage or collective transport, several lr~nspo,l and asse,nbly frames 1 can be stacked one above the other. In that case a further transpo,l and assembly frame 1 is placed on two welded-on stack supports 50 and on two pivotable stack supports 51.
Mounted on the stack supports 50, 51 are centring pins 52, which fit in correspor,di"g holes in the basic support 4 and provide a centring. Moreover, they serve as addilional 35 transport securing.
