Description

The invention relates to a transport system for conveying Goods or technical equipment in trucks of the Preamble of claim 1 specified type.

Such a transport system is z. B. from DE OS 23 10 157 already to be taken as known. In the case of the body of Transport system belonging load vehicle is a continuous level and rectangular loading area available, so that all Roll module of a series arrangement saves space along one side wall of the structure can be set up. Next to a row Arrangement along the left and right side wall is here In addition, a third row arrangement between them both provided. The known rolling modules are shelf-like trained and thereby allow z. B. the transport of clearly laid out in the compartments of the rolling modules piece Well. To secure the rolling modules runs under the roof of the Box body a longitudinal beam, to which under assignment to the in the row underneath positioned roll modules down ver sliding latch are arranged. The bars are in Sperröff lowerable at the top of the roll container. alternative clamping devices are provided with which the rolling modules laying down between the loading floor and the bar of the up can be clamped.

A disadvantage is in the known transport system of Um stood to see that for appropriate transport tasks with Rolling modules while maintaining a relative to the size loading capacity reasonable capacity not readily  lighter trucks can be used, the useful bare cargo area z. B. by wheel arches or a non-plane or not perpendicular to the loading floor extending side wall contour is reduced. Another disadvantage of the known Transport system is in the off-center attachment of the To see rolling modules on the box body.

Furthermore, from DE 41 29 384 C2 already a transport container for transporting explosives or ammunition in flight to witness. This transport container has an oblique Wall on, leading to the escape of an excessive explosion pressure is provided from the gas-tight transport container. Thus the escaping explosion pressure only a hole in the Fuselage of the aircraft ruptures and the spread of a pressure wave in the entire fuselage prevents are in the wall sharp slivers or projectiles integrated and the oblique Wall is approximately parallel, but slightly curved Fuselage area of the aircraft at a close distance. Because the sloping wall up into the curved, lateral lower Protruding area of the fuselage, the space is use better, than with an exclusively cuberför Migen container would be given. The purpose of use, however, requires that the transport container is firmly installed in the fuselage becomes. The document thus discloses a completely different kind Transportation system.

The invention is based on the object, a transport system of the generic type to the effect that the Suitability of the transport system for lighter trucks with the loading space constricting wheel arches and / or a side slope having significantly improved side walls, the Loading and unloading of the truck should be facilitated.  

The solution to this problem results from the features of the on Claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the rest Claims to be taken.

Below are two embodiments of the invention based a graphic representation explained in more detail.

The transport system described allows z. B. the eco nomic conveyance of general cargo by logistics companies or z. B. to accommodate technical facilities as a "modular vehicle equipment" for more economical use of the A directions. The process of delivering packages in a typical distribution center has been essentially as follows:

• a) The packages are unloaded and placed on a conveyor belt Given the sorting system, with the first scan run with the Bar code to be provided packages takes place.
• b) The "read packets" are from the automatic Sorting system or manually on a sorting line after Delivery districts or tours sorted.
• c) Depending on the delivery district or come from the tour all packages assigned to the delivery district or tour corresponding sorter output.  
• d) The arrived packages are sent from the sorter or from the Taken from sorting belt.
• e) Then take the extracted packages into one as intermediate filled roll container filled.
• f) In the roll container, the packages are sent to the loading gates hazards.
• g) The roll containers are handed over to the drivers.
• h) The packages are removed from the roll container.
• i) The vehicle is loaded with individual packages, with the second scan run is performed.

This process can be significantly improved by maintaining the process steps a) -d) and then proceeding as follows:

• a) The removed packages will be in the new, wheeled roll module and scanned again.
• b) As before, the rolling modules are driven to the loading gates.
• c) The rolling modules are taken over by the drivers.
• d) Finally, the vehicles with the be with packages be filled rolling modules loaded.

This improved method can be used during loading of the Luggage vehicles are saved considerable time.

However, not only general cargo can be handled with the transport system z. B. in shelf-like designed rolling modules cost be In addition, institutions in particular technical type, which are themselves designed as a roll module. As  Examples are here only portable meters or coolers called for temperature-sensitive transport goods. It understands itself that z. As the meters or their housing is not mandatory must have the outer dimensions of a rolling module, but instead also in a standard support structure of a rolling module could be integrated.

The so modularly designed vehicle equipment can by Wech sel specific modules adapted to the particular application become. Furthermore, the design is based on the example of a shelf module described. Analogously, the basic design also applies for vehicle equipment.

Because of the different possibilities of Rollmodulgestal tion are the rolling modules in the overview representations respectively simplified as a block with a specific space requirement shown.

In Fig. 1, a box body 1 of known type is visible, which fits from its dimensions forth on the chassis of a Mercedes-Benz Sprinters. The box body 1 is cuboid out forms, however, shown without left side wall and no roof, where is released by the view into the hold 2 . On the Dar position of the body doors was omitted for clarity, although these have an effect on an appropriate loading of the structure 1 . Thus, the front end wall 3 of the construction 1 on the center of a door opening 4 for access to not ge showed the driver's cab and the right side wall 5 in the front area a side door opening 6 and the rear end wall 7 centrally a door opening 8 each for charging operations.

Because of the door openings 4 and 6 , the front right Eckbe rich of the structure 1 should not be adjusted. In addition to the loading area 9 a sufficiently wide aisle be left ble ben. Moreover, a good utilization of the remaining storage space on the bed 9 by two lateral rows of rolling modules 10 and 11 with a rectangular base area is sought, which are on each of four corners of the rolling modules 10 and 11 arranged rollers 12 .

As can be seen in connection with FIG. 2, four roller modules 10 and 11 having equivalent base area are provided along the left side wall 13 in total arranged in a straight row, whereby they have laterally a minimum distance to the side wall 13, although the loading platform 9 of the box body 1 is narrowed by lateral wheel arches 14 . To enable this, the roll is tuned module 11 to the dimensions of the wheel house 13, in which the wheelbase of the rollers 12 is larger from each other at the end of the module than the wheel arch length and the ground clearance of the rolling module 11 is greater than the height of the wheel house fourteenth Thus, the wheel arch 14 is covered freely, ie without contact, by the rolling module 11 located above it.

Along the right side wall 5 is also a straight Rei hey of rolling modules 10 and 11 are arranged, said row comprises only three modules. These modules are relative to the longitudinal center plane of the box body 1 mirror-symmetrically arranged to the rear three rolling modules 10 and 11 of the left row.

For reasons of standardization and to allow easier loading, it may be desirable to make the rolling modules uniform, this is easily possible that all rolling modules of the hold 2 are built according to roll module 11 so at the bottom of the necessary space for the wheel box 14th respectively. However, if it is important that the rolling modules have the greatest possible capacity, it may be more convenient, as shown, to provide rolling modules 10 and 11, respectively, with different loading space.

In Fig. 3 is a box body 101 can be seen schematically, which can be mounted alternatively to the box body 1 also on the Fahrge stell a Mercedes-Benz Sprinters.

Below, with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, only the differences from the arrangement according to FIG. 1 are explained in more detail and for the purpose of simplification of the description already mentioned components of the same function are provided with reference numbers supplemented by 100 in each case.

The box body 101 is not cuboid, but the right side wall 105 is in its upper half mirror symmetrical to the left side wall, not shown, inclined obliquely in the direction of the longitudinal center plane of the box body 101 so that the loading space 102 is narrowed in the upper half. In addition, the loading area 109 is likewise impaired by lateral wheel housings 114 . In order to still achieve a good space utilization here, the rolling modules 110 and 111 are adapted cuboid in adaptation to the side portions of the box body 101 in the lower region and taper in the upper region on its side wall associated broadside substantially corresponding to the bevel of their associated side wall of the Construction 101 . As a result, they can be rolled up almost to an investment position on the side wall. The two a cuboid aisle freed roll module rows of the structure 101 here comprise only two rolling modules 110 and 111 , which agree in length, but on the right side have a smaller width than on the left side. It is understood that the rolling modules of the left and right rolling module row could instead also have a matching width. In order to give the rolling modules 111 the required ground clearance, their rollers 112 are arranged on long support legs, which correspond approximately to the height of the wheel housings 114 . The free space un below the rolling module 111 is almost twice as long as the wheel well 114 itself.

Thus, with long rolling modules 111 within the same more storage space for piece goods or the like. Is available, the wheel well 114 can advantageously be covered by the opposite Endberei chen two in their desired position successively arranged rolling modules 111 , each subsequent to their raised coverage area with the Wheel well 114 have a stepped step and run immediately above the rollers 112 , so only a small ground clearance have. This is indicated in the illustration of FIG. 4, where for reasons of clarity, a single support structure 111 to see a of a suitably modified roll module 111 in its desired position.

The support structure shown 111 a is made of cut semi-finished products, here z. As square profiles, sammengesetzt or welded to a frame construction, wherein the basic construction at the four corners of the support structure 111 a in each case a column to summarizes, which are interconnected at different heights on rectangular frame. In order to achieve an adaptation to the chamfer of the side wall 105 , the ent speaking columns are angled in the upper area accordingly. As can be seen in connection with FIG. 10, a fully permanent roll module 111 b is arranged on a loading platform 115 behind the door opening 108 of the box body 101 of a transporter.

The support structure 111 a is by welded shelf shelves 116 , 117 and 118 made of sheet metal and the shelves on three sides enclosing grid 119 to a cage-like roll module 111 b or rack module completed. This results in the transport of cargo a particularly weight-favorable construction as. The raised shelf 117 is matched to the height of the wheel well 114 and the frame 117 supporting frame assembly moves upwards accordingly.

In order to ensure good stability of the rolling module 111b, two further columns with rollers 112 are provided in the region of the shoulder, so that the rolling module has a total of six rollers 112 . stands.

At the recessed end portion of the eckseitige roller 112 must, however, in such a way from the Fig. 10 end position shown 9 in an alternate position, and FIG. Be displaceable, that the roll module 111 b may be brought into its covering position relative to the wheel arch 114th For this purpose, the corner roller 112 is mounted on a guide frame 120 , which is arranged in a manner not shown in detail sliding adjustable under a frame profile of the shelf 117 . As a result, the guide frame 120 , z. B. after loosening a clamping screw from the end position shown in FIG. 9 in the ent opposite end position shown in FIG. 8 move and tighten by to tighten the clamping screw again. By reversing this adjustment process, the end position shown in FIG. 9 can easily be restored if necessary to bring about again the original wheelbase or role status of the rolling module 111 b.

In Fig. 5 is a view through a door opening 8 on a loading surface 9 of the box body 1 is shown on the along the right side wall 5 according to the arrangement in Fig. 1, three rolling modules 11 b are arranged one behind the other. These Rollmo modules 11 b also have a support structure of Vierkantpro filen, which are assembled or welded to a frame construction, wherein the basic construction at the four corners of the support structure 111 a respectively comprises a column, which are connected at different heights on rectangular frames together , The support structure of the rolling modules 11 b is in each case by three shelves 16 , 17 and 18 made of sheet metal and the shelves 16 , 17 and 18 on three sides enclosing grid 19 completed. In contrast to the roll module 111 b, the roll module 11 b has straight columns over its entire height. In addition, the shelf 16 is arranged in all shelf modules 11 b on the loading surface 9 offset upwards so that the ground clearance of the rolling modules 11 b is sufficient to push the rolling module in a covering position to the wheel arch 14 .

In order to determine the rolling modules 11 b during transport safely, a guide rail 21 is on the inside of the side wall 5 is fixed, which extends horizontally over the entire array row of rolling modules 11 b. This of course also applies to the arrangement row along the left side wall 13th The guide rail 21 extends, as can be seen more clearly in connection with the frontal view of FIG. 6, slightly above the shelf 17 and thus approximately halfway up the rolling modules 11 b. On the guide rail 21 , the rolling modules 11 b are about as axially lockable latch slide 22 trained quick fasteners easily and securely fixed to the side wall 5 .

In Fig. 7 is an oblique view of a separate end region of the guide rail 21 can be seen, which is still attached to the side wall 5 . On the cut surface is visible that the guide rail 21 is designed approximately omega-shaped in cross-section and has as extrusion a constant cross-section. The upper and lower mounting legs of the guide rail 21 lie flat against the side wall 5 and are firmly anchored by screws, rivets or adhesive in / on the side wall. Of the mounting legs each projecting at right angles to a web, wherein the webs of the lower and upper mounting leg at a distance from each other. The webs are connected by a middle leg, which protrudes above and below the webs.

The locking slide 22 is pushed onto the rail 21, the carriage the central leg of the guide rail 21 with a sliding top and surrounds with clearance below. From the bolt slide 22 are two laterally angled hooks, one of which projects forward and one to the rear. These hooks are dimensioned so that they can be pushed during the longitudinal displacement of the bolt slide 21 in front of the square profile of the rolling module 11 b, which rests with its broad side on the guide rail 21 . Between the angled hook of the locking slide 22 , a pivot bolt 23 is mounted, which has a protruding eccentric end, which protrudes through an associated slot in the locking slide 22 and cooperates with the guide rail 21 . By appropriately moving the Schwenkrie gel 23 , the bolt slide 22 Festge clamped on the rail 21 and is thus axially secured. Each roll module on the bed is fixed by two bolt slide 22, the hak connection at the front and rear end to the square profile of the front and rear columns
