DE102005001780A1 - Retractable supporting leg for interchangeable container and recycling collecting tank has supporting leg carrier, in which supporting leg with baseplate is guided, spindle or ball spindle, motor consisting of power and control cables - Google Patents

Abstract

Retractable supporting leg has supporting leg carrier (7), in which supporting leg (6) with baseplate is guided, a spindle or ball spindle (8), motor (9) consisting of power and control cables (10). Supporting leg carrier is firmly mounted on to side wall (5) or rear wall of interchangeable container or recycling storage tank at the door post(3) or rear post (4). By activating the motor (9) of interchangeable container, it adjusts itself on the particular ramp height or locates itself on the base.

Description

"Swap body" is a Europe used, for the freight traffic designed loading unit, which combined freight - traffic between rail and road and generally with manually swing out support feet for parking on waiting places or in front of the customer ramp.

The new European Regulation of intermodal loading units UECI - short and long version - creates a container-like Container, the four-way stackable and the previous swap bodies to Favor of a higher one Share of combined transport and EU standardization.

These UECI become one unlike today's swap bodies have closed static stable design. This results in new ones Ways to construct the support feet.

Previous Support feet are retractable and swiveling metal legs attached to the floor platform the Wechsel container are attached. You will be the driver before dropping the swap body manually pulled out, lowered and secured. When leaving must the process can be reversed by securing the support feet against unintentional falling out.

For the four Support feet needed Driver 3-5 Minutes, one physically demanding work.

Of the Main disadvantage of the previous system, however, is in addition to the manual Expense the rigid height specification the support feet, what with uneven floors and differences in ramp height to obstructions leads.

One Another obstacle to the use of swap bodies is the inability for soil loading for customers who do not have a crane or equivalent Deposition devices have. This is especially true for recycling Bin to which i.A. put on the ground for easy loading.

DE 20205214 "Support legs for swap bodies with integrated lifting and lowering device" and
DE 20121597 "Support leg, especially for a swap body" trying to achieve in the previous support feet a leveling partially with manual adjustment.

Both but still require the manual folding out of the support legs and can the swap body do not lower to ground level.

The The present patent application is intended to decisively improve these disadvantages and the basis for one mass use of UECI in European combined transport create.

description the details

image 1 shows a swap body with extended support legs and an outlined support fund.

For short swap bodies (UECI short) enough 4 , in the long version if necessary 6 - 8th Support legs.

The swap body consists of a floor construction 1 and a roof construction 2 which through the door support posts 3 and the stern support posts 4 are connected to a statically stable transport box. The lateral planking 5 ensures the stability and content of the swap body.

In the side walls 5 and optionally in the back wall of the containers become support foot supports 7 in conjunction with the door jambs 3 and the tail post 4 firmly installed.

The is the unit of support outstretched prefers a complete assembly and maintenance unit for easy installation and removal.

The support feet 6 are extended. The support foot 6 with footplate is in the support base 7 slidably installed. It can be extended between zero and approx. 1700 mm, which can be used for floor installation and the most common ramps.

The drive of the adjustment is in the case shown a spindle or ball screw 8th which with a motor 9 is operated. The motor 9 can convert electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic energy into rotary motion. The motor 9 is through the power and control cable 10 connected.

Alternatively, For drawn spindle drive can be a purely hydraulic or pneumatic solution be used with a printing cylinder.

The adjustment drives receive the required energy through the contact point (plug) 11 over the lifting beam of the crane or contact point 12 via the transport vehicle or by a plug with manual connection.

The power transmission can also be done inductively. In the variant with purely hydraulic or pneumatic adjustment, either an on-board booster unit can be operated or connected to an external pressure source.

ever If necessary, a control of all support legs can be done in parallel or but individually, with the horizontal position being controlled can or the soil load by measuring the torque or Pressure can be equalized.

Figure 2 shows a support base in two versions of the motor drive. In version a is the engine 9 directly on the spindle 10 placed. In version b, the motor is laterally flanged in the deck of the interchangeable container accommodated with a power coupling to the spindle.

Figure 3 shows a situation with a Rambenaufstellung and floor installation of the interchangeable container. At the ramp 13 stands the swap body 14 with extended exactly at ramp height support legs.

Next to it is a swap body 15 on the ground for loading by forklift etc. This is particularly suitable for the installation of recycling material collection containers. A special vehicle 16 moves between the support legs of the swap body 14 to carry this away. It contacts the contact point 12 and transmits power and control commands, in this case lowering the swap body 14 on the spigot and the total retraction of the support legs 6 during the road trip.
