Description

The invention relates to a pallet transport device for manual handling of a pallet according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for lifting and transporting a pallet.

The known devices for transporting unloaded or loaded pallets, such as, for example, forklift trucks, ants or pallet trucks, engage with two fork arms in fork guides provided for this purpose in the pallet and lift them flat for removal vertically. A device for transporting only unloaded pallets is from the WO 2015/000615 A1 known, which is designed as a rolling device and in which also two fork arms in the fork guides of the flat lying on the ground pallet are introduced. Subsequently, the device with the pallet can be tilted obliquely on two wheels and moved by means of this.

Known devices for transporting pallets thus often have a particularly high space requirement both during storage of the device itself and during transport of the pallet. Thus, the known devices are difficult to use, especially in areas with little space.

Alternatively, for example, from the DE 199 31 668 A1 , of the DE 198 24 273 A1 , of the DE 2 355 096 A , of the US 3,680,715 A , of the US 4,925,147 A or even the US 4,270,741 A Devices are known which are designed for transporting vertically erected flat objects. However, none of the documents disclosed a pallet transport device or a method for lifting and transporting a pallet with which the lifting of the pallet particularly simple and transport can be carried out to save space.

Usually, unloaded pallets are therefore set up for transport in, for example, cramped rooms by hand on a longitudinal edge of the pallet and pulled or pushed on this manually over the ground. However, there is an increased risk of injury and contamination for the person handling it.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a manually manageable device and a corresponding pallet transport method, with a safe lifting and a space-saving transport of a single unloaded pallet is possible.

The invention achieves the object by a device having the features of claim 1 and a method having the features of claim 12. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. All features described in isolation or in any combination are in principle the subject of the invention, regardless of their summary in the claims or their dependency.

The device for manual handling of a pallet has at least one pallet carrier for receiving the pallet, a connected to a support stand pallet holder for fixing the pallet on the pallet carrier and at least two tilt wheels, which are arranged one behind the other in a longitudinal axis direction of the pallet carrier, wherein the device the tilting wheels between a receiving position for receiving the pallet and a transport position for transporting the pallet is pivotable.

The pivotability of the device makes it particularly easy to erect manually due to particularly favorable leverage, in particular a flat resting on the ground unladen pallet (receiving position). The fact that the direct contact between the pallet and the person handling by the use of the device is also reduced to a minimum, reduced for the person also the risk of contamination or injury when lifting and transporting the pallet. The device reduces these dangers, so that in addition to the particularly simple straightening even a particularly safe erection of the pallet is ensured by the device.

In addition, in particular, the two successively arranged tilting wheels that move neither when pivoting nor during transport, the device with the pallet in an unwanted direction. It is thus also possible for the handling person to have a particularly controllable lifting and controllable rolling of the pallet.

Manual handling is understood to mean that a single person uses the device by hand without the need for a motor drive. In particular, the device thus has no electrical / pneumatic and / or hydraulic auxiliary units.

The device is in particular designed to lift and transport pallets of a standardized size, in particular a europallet and / or industrial pallet. Euro and industrial pallets are standardized reusable pallets of mostly wood with a dimension of approx. 120 cm × 80 cm / 100 cm × 14.4 cm / 15.1 cm and a weight of about 20 kg to 27 kg.

A pallet carrier is understood to mean a receiving device for receiving the pallet, in particular a side edge of the pallet. Starting from an upright position (for example, a transport position), the pallet stands supported on the pallet carrier with a side edge. The pallet carrier is in particular adapted to receive the pallet between the support stand and at least one first holding leg spaced from the support stand. In addition, the pallet carrier can additionally have a second holding limb arranged in the direction of the support stand, so that the pallet is positioned or fixed between the holding limbs. Accordingly, the pallet carrier in cross-section at least partially L-shaped or at least partially U-shaped. The one or more holding legs may be inclined for particularly easy insertion of the pallet in the pallet carrier, opening to the free end, be arranged.

The arranged support stand is connected either directly or indirectly (eg via a base support) to the pallet carrier. In an upright position, the support stand can be vertical and the pallet carrier can be aligned horizontally, for example parallel to a side edge of the pallet. The support stand is thus arranged in particular transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis direction of the pallet carrier. The support stand can, for example, be designed as a support tube or support rod with a rectangular or arcuate (round or oval) cross section.

The longitudinal axis direction of the pallet carrier corresponds in particular to the extension direction of the pallet carrier placed on the pallet. In an embodiment of the pallet carrier as a rail, the longitudinal axis corresponds to the rail longitudinal axis. The arrangement of the tilting wheels thus takes place along the rail direction one behind the other. The wheels are arranged in alignment with each other. The rolling direction of the wheels is aligned with fixed wheels in the longitudinal axis direction. The longitudinal axis direction is also the preferred space-saving transport direction of the device with arranged pallet.

The pallet holder is connected to the support stand. In particular, this is movably arranged on the support stand, whereby pallets of different dimensions can be positioned between the support stand and the pallet carrier. In addition, a portion may be arranged on the support stand, which limits the mobility of the pallet holder on an upper portion, whereby the handling and positioning of the pallet holder on the pallet in the receiving position is greatly simplified.

The pallet holder is adapted to engage a side edge (which is opposite the side edge which rests against the support stand) of the pallet. It may be formed according to the pallet carrier in cross-section at least partially L-shaped or at least partially U-shaped, with a leg oblique, i. may be arranged to open the free end to improve the inclusion of the pallet in the pallet holder.

The pallet holder and the pallet carrier are thus arranged to one another such that the pallet holder engages on a second side edge opposite the first side edge. The pallet is thus placed between the pallet holder and the pallet carrier, i. the pallet is positioned, if necessary fixed.

For positioning possibly fixing the pallet holder is designed in particular for encompassing a pallet top, possibly for clamping the top of the pallet between his legs (u-shaped sections).

The positioning or fixing of the pallet can take place between the pallet carrier and the pallet holder. Alternatively, the pallet may also be fixed to only one of pallet carriers or pallet holders and positioned on the other. Due to the partial fixing or the complete fixation, the lifting and transport of the pallet in the device is significantly simplified and safer.

Under a Kipprad is understood a wheel over which the device tilted, d. H. is pivoted, will. The wheel is rotatably mounted about its axis of rotation and may additionally be designed as a steering wheel, so that it is rotatable about a rotational axis arranged transversely to the steering axis.

Under the receiving position of the pallet is to be understood in particular a position in which the pallet rests on a substrate. Depending on the background, this may in particular be a horizontal position. By contrast, the transport position is a position pivoted out of the receiving position, for example an upright (vertical) position. The transport position can be pivoted relative to the receiving position, for example, at an angle of 90 ° +/- 5 ° to 10 °. In this position, the pallet can be transported very easily with the device. In the transport position, the device stands up on the wheels and is movable over the wheels, while the pallet is fixed to the device via the pallet carrier and the pallet holder. To lay down the pallet, the device with the Pallet be pivoted again on the tilt wheels, so that the pallet comes back into a receiving position, here deposit position on a substrate.

In order to achieve a particularly high stability of the device during pivoting and during transport of the pallet and in particular to prevent twisting or unwanted movement of the device during the tilting movement or when placing the wheels on the ground, it is provided according to a development of the invention that a base carrier connected to the tilting wheels, the support stand, the pallet holder and / or at least one support wheel is arranged. The base support serves in particular as a connecting element between tilt wheels, support stand and / or pallet holder. It may, for example, be rod-shaped or also plate-shaped.

In order to facilitate the handling of the device, it is in particular designed as a tube and extends at least in sections in the direction of the longitudinal axis direction.

Under a support wheel is understood at least a third wheel, which is used in particular during transport of the pallets. The support wheel, like the two tilting wheels, can be placed on the ground during transport of the pallet so that the device can be rolled over the ground with the pallet by means of the tilting wheels and the support wheel. In this case, the support wheel is, for example, arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis direction at a distance from the tilting wheels.

Particularly preferably, the base support is designed as a mounting bracket, wherein in particular at least at one open end of the support bracket of the tilting wheels is arranged. D. h., The support bracket extends in the longitudinal axis direction, wherein at each end of the support bracket each one of the tilting wheels is attached. In particular, the mounting bracket can be U-shaped profile, d. h., It has a longitudinal axis extending portion and two leg-shaped, for example. Transversely to the longitudinal axis extending leg at both ends.

According to a development of the invention it is provided that at least one support wheel, but in particular at least two support wheels are arranged on a side opposite the tilt wheels of the base support. In this case, the supporting and tilting wheels are arranged such that in the transport position three or four wheels put on the ground, so that the device with the pallet has a stable grip on the ground and they can be rolled very easily by means of wheels.

The support wheel or the support wheels may be formed according to the tilt wheels as rigid wheels. Also, a support and / or tilting wheel or more of the supporting and / or tilting wheels can be designed as wheels (steering rollers) which can be rotated about a steering axis. The wheels, in particular the support wheels, may have a foot brake for fixing the wheels, whereby a secured against rolling away of the device with or without pallet parking is possible.

The support wheels and the tilting wheels can be arranged to each other according to a quadrangle. For this purpose, it is particularly preferred that at least two support wheels are also arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal axis direction of the pallet carrier. Due to this uniform arrangement of the support wheels to the tilting wheels, a particularly good distribution of the pallet weight on the wheels and the device with the pallet can be moved very easily.

In particular, in the formation of the device with one or more support wheels, the support stand in an upright transport position relative to a vertical oblique example. With a deflection of 1 ° to 15 °, preferably 1 ° to 10 ° may be arranged, wherein the support stand with its free end (For example, the grip area) is inclined away from the tilting edges in the direction of the support wheels. The vertical is understood to mean a vertical axis (y-axis). The support stand can thus be arranged in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis at an angle> 90 °, for example. At an angle of 91 ° to 105 ° to the pallet carrier, whereby the center of gravity held by the device in an upright transport position in the pallet Support wheels shifts and the transport of the pallet is significantly simplified. Due to the inclination in the range of 1 ° to 15 °, it is particularly possible that the device with pallet in an upright position freely, parked exclusively on the wheels and without further support is.

In the longitudinal axis direction, the angle between the pallet carrier and the support stand is furthermore preferably approximately 90 °, possibly ± 1 ° to 5 °.

In order to make the device particularly light and yet extremely stable, it is provided according to a development of the invention that the base support has two support brackets connected to one another via a connecting web, wherein in each case a support wheel and a tilting wheel are respectively arranged on each support bracket. In this case, a support wheel and at a second end of the support bracket, a tilting wheel is arranged at a first end of the support bracket.

The mounting brackets are aligned in this embodiment, in particular transversely to the longitudinal axis direction of the pallet carrier, also the support bracket may be formed in particular as U-profiles, so that the transversely to the longitudinal axis direction arranged U-shaped support bracket especially against the pivoting movement, in which a high load on the support bracket or acts on the tilt wheels, are particularly stable.

In a U-profile design of the mounting bracket, the angle between the main leg and the transverse legs aligned to the main leg for example. Be greater than 90 °, so that the support of the device improved to the ground and the transport safety is increased.

The connecting web can also be like the support bracket eg. Rod / tube or plate-shaped. He connects the two mounting brackets with a fixed distance from each other. In addition, the connecting web is in particular designed as a support element for the support stand, that is, the support stand can be arranged on the connecting web, for example, transversely and vertically upwards (transport position) extending. The pallet carrier can also be connected either to the connecting web and / or directly to the mounting bracket.

For a particularly simple inclusion of a Euro / industrial pallet, according to a development of the invention, it is provided that a distance between an outer edge section and a contact edge section of the pallet carrier maximum of the pallet, for example, a maximum of 15.1 cm or a maximum of 14.4, preferably between 13.5 cm and 5 cm and advantageously between 8 cm to 12 cm. These distances, in particular the advantageous distances, in addition to a particularly simple recording and a particularly easy pivoting of the pallet ensure a particularly secure transport of the pallet in an upright transport position, since it is ensured that the device does not overturn with pallet in a three- or vierrädrigen training ,

An outer section is understood to be an outermost point or an outermost edge or surface of the device. Optionally, a plurality of points, edges or surfaces, which are arranged in alignment with one another and, for example, parallel to the longitudinal axis direction, can be understood as the outer edge. This may in particular be an outer edge of the pallet carrier or the tilting wheels.

The contact section of the pallet carrier is an edge, a point or an area of the pallet carrier on which the pallet rests. Due to the maximum distance of 144 mm it is ensured that the device does not rest on the ground when placed on top of a Euro pallet. This ensures a safe intervention of the pallet carrier on the pallet. Particularly preferably, the distance between an outer portion of the pallet carrier, the base support or the tilting wheels and a contact portion of the pallet carrier between 135 mm and 50 mm, advantageously between 120 mm and 80 mm.

In order to design the device individually usable for pallets of different sizes, it is provided according to a development of the invention that the pallet holder is movably mounted on the support stand. On the one hand, this makes it possible for pallets to be transported with a width or height gauge deviating from Euro / industrial pallet dimensions. On the other hand, however, the movable support stand also allows secure fixing of the pallet on the pallet carrier. The pallet holder is arranged so that after the pivoting of the device in the receiving position and placing the device on the top of a pallet, the pallet holder on the support stand on a pallet carrier opposite side edge of the pallet can be applied or moved so that between the pallet holder and the pallet carrier a positionally stable arrangement, ie a partial fixing or full fixing of the pallet takes place. For this purpose, a locking connection for securely positioning the pallet holder is particularly preferably arranged on the support stand.

For ease of handling and ensuring stability, the device, in particular the support stand, connecting web, base support, pallet holder and pallet carrier made of aluminum and / or a steel, in particular a stainless steel consist.
