Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a lifting device, in particular for a transport vehicle, comprising a threaded spindle and a threaded spindle nut. The invention also relates to a lifting unit, in particular for a transport vehicle, comprising a plurality of lifting devices according to the invention. The invention also relates to a transport vehicle, in particular an unmanned transport vehicle.
Background
An unmanned transport vehicle is known from DE 10 2020 000 746 A1. The unmanned transport vehicle is used in technical installations, for example in production plants, for transporting objects, for example small parts or boxes. In addition, the mobile transport vehicle transports the components from a logistics area (e.g., a material warehouse) to a station where the components are processed. For lifting and lowering the articles to be transported, the unmanned transport vehicle has a height-adjustable receiving plate.
A vehicle having a lifting unit is known from DE 10 2013 019 688 A1. The lifting unit comprises a scissor lift which can be driven by a motor via a rotatable screw and screw nut.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the invention is therefore to improve a lifting device, in particular for a transport vehicle; an elevating unit, in particular for a transport vehicle, is improved; and to an improved transport vehicle, in particular an unmanned transport vehicle.
According to the invention, this object is achieved by a lifting device having the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and improvements of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims. This object is also achieved by a lifting unit having the features specified in claim 8. Advantageous embodiments and improvements are the subject matter of the dependent claims. This object is also achieved by a transport vehicle having the features specified in claim 11. Advantageous embodiments and improvements are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
The lifting device according to the invention, in particular for a transport vehicle, comprises an inner spindle, an inner spindle nut which can be rotated relative to the inner spindle, an outer spindle and an outer spindle nut which can be rotated relative to the outer spindle. The inner spindle nut is connected to the outer spindle nut in a rotationally fixed manner, in particular rigidly.
The movement of the outer spindle relative to the inner spindle in the axial direction is achieved by the rotation of the inner spindle nut relative to the inner spindle and the rotation of the outer spindle nut relative to the outer spindle, which is referred to as the lifting stroke. By means of the lifting device according to the invention, relatively heavy loads can be lifted. The lifting device is thereby robust and functionally reliable. The lifting device comprises two threads, whereby a larger lifting stroke can be achieved at the same number of revolutions. The lifting device has a relatively small extent in the axial direction and is therefore particularly suitable for use on unmanned vehicles.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inner spindle nut is arranged coaxially in the outer spindle. The inner spindle nut and the outer spindle are thus arranged here concentrically with a central axis defining the axial direction. Advantageously, the lifting device has a small extent in the radial direction.
According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the outer spindle is coupled to the inner spindle in a rotationally fixed manner. Thus, the moment transmitted through the inner lead screw nut and the outer lead screw nut can be supported.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer spindle is mounted so as to be movable in the axial direction relative to the inner spindle. Movement of the outer spindle relative to the inner spindle in the axial direction, which is also referred to as the lifting travel, is thus possible.
According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the inner spindle nut and/or the outer spindle nut each have an internal thread in the form of a trapezoidal thread. Trapezoidal threads have proven to be particularly advantageous.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inner spindle nut comprises a first internal thread having a first orientation and the outer spindle nut comprises a second internal thread having a second orientation. Here, the first orientation and the second orientation are opposite to each other. When the inner lead screw and the inner lead screw nut are designed with right-hand threads, then the outer lead screw and the outer lead screw nut are designed with left-hand threads, or vice versa. Thus, when the inner lead screw rotates relative to the inner lead screw nut and the outer lead screw nut rotates relative to the outer lead screw, the lifting motions of the inner lead screw and the outer lead screw nut will be superimposed.
According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the outer spindle nut comprises an external toothing. The external toothing is used in particular for driving the outer spindle nut into rotation relative to the outer spindle by means of a toothed belt.
The lifting unit according to the invention, in particular for a transport vehicle, comprises a motor, a drive wheel, a drive belt and a plurality of lifting devices according to the invention, wherein the motor drives the drive belt via the drive wheel and the drive belt drives an outer spindle nut of the lifting device in rotation relative to the outer spindle. The lifting devices are arranged parallel to one another and offset from one another.
This allows relatively large transverse loads and the resulting moments to be absorbed without the risk of bending the threaded spindle or threaded spindle nut of the lifting device. The lifting unit is thereby made particularly suitable for load receiving of mobile applications, such as unmanned transport vehicles, in which large loads are applied to the lifting device as a result of a braking process due to the inertia of the load.
According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the drive belt is designed as a toothed belt and is in turn engaged with the external toothing of the outer spindle nut of the lifting device. This construction is relatively inexpensive and ensures that all lifting devices are driven uniformly.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the lifting unit comprises a support plate, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner, in particular rigidly, to the inner spindle of the lifting device. The support plate is used here in particular for receiving a load. The support plate also prevents the inner lead screw from rotating relative to the support plate and the inner lead screw from rotating relative to the outer lead screw.
The transport vehicle according to the invention, in particular the unmanned transport vehicle, comprises a drive, an accumulator for supplying power to the drive, a control device for controlling the drive, and at least one lifting device according to the invention and/or at least one lifting unit according to the invention.
According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the unmanned vehicle further comprises a travel sensor for detecting the lifting travel of the at least one lifting device according to the invention and/or of the at least one lifting unit according to the invention, i.e. the movement of the outer spindle relative to the inner spindle in the axial direction.
The invention is not limited to the combination of features of the claims. Other reasonable combinations of the claims and/or individual claim features and/or the description features and/or the drawing features are available to the person skilled in the art, in particular from the objects proposed and/or by comparison with the prior art.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The figures only schematically illustrate the subject matter of the invention. Wherein:
fig. 1 shows a top view of a lifting unit;
fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the lifting unit in a retracted state;
fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the lifting unit in an extended state;
fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the lifting unit in a retracted state; and
fig. 5 shows a perspective view of the lifting unit in the extended state.
Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows a top view of the lifting unit 50. The lifting unit 50 includes a plurality (four in the present case) of lifting devices 10. Each of the lifting devices 10 includes an inner lead screw 4, an inner lead screw nut 5 rotatable relative to the inner lead screw 4, an outer lead screw 6, and an outer lead screw nut 7 rotatable relative to the outer lead screw 6, respectively. The inner lead screw nut 5 has a flange 8, in which figure the flange 8 covers the outer lead screw 6, the outer lead screw nut 7 and the remaining inner lead screw nut 5.
The inner spindle 4, the inner spindle nut 5, the outer spindle 6, the outer spindle nut 7 and the flange 8 of the lifting device 10 are each constructed at least approximately rotationally symmetrically and are arranged concentrically to the central axis M. The inner lead screw 4 is coaxially arranged in an inner lead screw nut 5. The inner lead screw nut 5 is coaxially arranged in the outer lead screw 6. The outer lead screw 6 is coaxially arranged in an outer lead screw nut 7.
The lifting devices 10 of the lifting units 50 are fixedly connected to the independent floors 35 of the unmanned transport vehicle, respectively. Alternatively, it is also conceivable for the lifting device 10 to be connected to a common floor 35 of the unmanned vehicle. The lifting devices 10 are arranged parallel to one another and offset from one another. Thus, the central axes M of the lifting device 10 extend parallel to each other and respectively define the axial directions.
The outer lead screw nut 7 of the lifting device 10 comprises an external toothing 27, respectively. The lifting unit 50 includes a motor 28, a driving wheel 29, and a driving belt 40. The motor 28 drives the drive belt 40 via the drive wheel 29. The drive belt 40 is configured as a toothed belt and engages with the external toothing 27 of the external spindle nut 7 of the lifting device 10. The lifting unit 50 further includes a plurality of rollers 42, which guide the belt 40.
When the motor 28 drives the driving wheel 29, the outer lead screw nut 7 of the lifting device 10 is driven to rotate by the transmission belt 40. The outer spindle nut 7 of the lifting device 10 is rotated about the respective central axis M of the lifting device 10 relative to the outer spindle 6.
Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the lifting unit 50 in a retracted state along the section line A-A in fig. 1. Thus, two of the four lifting devices 10 can be seen. The lifting unit 50 comprises a support plate, not shown here, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner, in particular rigidly, to the inner spindle 4 of the lifting device 10. The support plate is used in particular as a load receiver. The lifting device 10 is here identically constructed. Hereinafter, only one of the lifting devices 10 is referred to.
The outer spindle 6 of the lifting device 10 is rigidly connected to the floor 35 of the unmanned vehicle by means of a plurality of screws 30. The inner lead screw 4 is threadedly engaged with the inner lead screw nut 5 via a trapezoidal thread. Other types of threads are also conceivable. The outer lead screw nut 7 is threadedly engaged with the outer lead screw 6 via a trapezoidal thread. Other types of threads are also conceivable.
The flange 8 of the inner lead screw nut 5 is rigidly connected to the outer lead screw nut 7 by means of a plurality of screws 30. The inner spindle nut 5 is thereby connected in a rotationally fixed manner, in particular rigidly, to the outer spindle nut 7. Alternatively, it is also conceivable to connect the inner spindle nut 5 and the outer spindle nut 7 to one another by means of separate connecting rings.
The inner lead screw 4 is connected to the floor 35 of the unmanned vehicle in a rotationally fixed manner. The inner lead screw 4 is supported so as to be movable in the axial direction relative to the floor 35 of the unmanned carrier. Therefore, the inner lead screw 4 is coupled to the outer lead screw 6 in a relatively non-rotatable manner, and is supported in a movable manner relative to the outer lead screw 6 in the axial direction.
The extension of the lifting device 10 is achieved by the rotation of the outer lead screw nut 7 relative to the outer lead screw 6 being driven by the drive belt 40. Other types of drive are conceivable, by means of which a rotational movement of the outer spindle nut 7 relative to the outer spindle 6 is produced.
The outer lead screw nut 7 is driven to rotate via the external tooth part 27 by the movement of the transmission belt 40. This rotation produces a translational movement of the outer lead screw nut 7 in the axial direction relative to the outer lead screw 6 by means of the threads of the outer lead screw nut 7 and the outer lead screw 6. As a result of the rigid connection of the outer spindle nut 7 to the inner spindle nut 5, a translational movement of the inner spindle nut 5 in the axial direction relative to the outer spindle 6 is also achieved.
Since the outer spindle 6 is coupled in a rotationally fixed manner to the inner spindle 4, the inner spindle nut 5 is rotated relative to the inner spindle 4, as a result of which a translational movement of the inner spindle nut 5 relative to the inner spindle 6 in the axial direction is achieved by the threads of the inner spindle nut 5 and the inner spindle 4.
Fig. 3 shows a sectional view of the lifting unit 50 in the extended state along the sectional line A-A in fig. 1. Two of the four lifting devices 10 can thus be seen. As previously described, the lifting device 10 is configured identically herein. Hereinafter, only one of the lifting devices 10 is referred to.
The inner lead screw nut 5 has a first internal thread 15 in the form of a trapezoidal thread. The inner spindle 4 has an external thread in the form of a trapezoidal thread, which matches the first internal thread. The outer lead screw nut 7 has a second internal thread 17 in the form of a trapezoidal thread. The external screw spindle 6 has an external thread in the form of a trapezoidal thread which is matched to the second internal thread.
The first internal thread 15 of the internal spindle nut 5 has a first orientation, the first internal thread 15 being embodied here as a right-hand thread. The second internal thread 17 of the external spindle nut 7 has a second orientation, the second internal thread 17 being configured as a left-hand thread. Thus, the first orientation and the second orientation are opposite to each other.
Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the lifting unit 50 in a retracted state. The motor 28 is fixedly connected to the unmanned vehicle and is thus arranged in a fixed position relative to the floor 35. The drive wheel 29 and the roller 42 can rotate relative to the base plate 35, but are likewise arranged fixedly in position relative to the base plate 35.
The belt 40 is disposed at a constant distance from the bottom plate 35 in the axial direction. In the retracted state shown in the figures, the drive belt 40 is located at the axial end of the outer spindle nut 7 of the lifting device 10 facing away from the base plate 35.
Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of the lifting unit 50 in the extended state. In the extended state shown here, the drive belt 40 is located at the axial end of the outer spindle nut 7 of the lifting device 10 facing the base plate 35.
