Description

The present invention relates to a storage device for coils or band rings of all kinds, in particular for coils or band rings of different widths and/or diameters.

Coil is the name for a band (band ring) wound into a roll. It is the usual form of freight transport, especially of sheet metal, but also of other materials such as paper, etc., between manufacturers and the processing industry (e.g. automotive industry, printing companies, etc.).

Coils weighing up to 40 tons are usually produced in steel and rolling mills. The length of a sheet metal strip depends on its thickness. At the end of the rolling train, the strip is then wound up in the reel and is now a coil or strip ring with a coil eye corresponding to the size of the reel. This coil is then pushed onto a so-called turnstile and sent to the customer or further processed as required or cut into smaller coils based on various processing criteria. The customer strives for the largest coils possible within the scope of his technical possibilities, since changing these interrupts production and therefore represents a loss. Due to their heavy weight, rail or truck vehicles are often used to transport goods from coils to customers.

For the transport and storage of heavy goods DE 44 17 857 A1 a fixing device for variably fixing loads on storage and transport surfaces, which has at least one fixing element that can be detachably connected to the surface, is known. With this fixing device, the load can advantageously be securely fixed on the loading and transport surface by being wedged in using a number of prismatic fixing elements attached to the loading and transport surface. Loads exerted by the load are advantageously absorbed by the inclined surfaces of the fixing elements and introduced into them via the flat connection between the fixing element and the loading and transport surface.

For the on-site transport between and the insertion and removal of coils or strip rings or other material such as coils or pipes from storage facilities such as turnstiles, trucks, wagons, reels, etc., so-called coil hooks or similarly suitable ones are often used Lifting equipment that can be connected to a crane.

There is usually great interest in storing coils and band rings of various sizes in so-called storage troughs. In order to eliminate the risk of the coils tipping over, it is known to secure the coil or the band ring by means of a tilt protection device arranged on the storage trough.

From the DE 10 2009 001 184 B4 For example, a storage device for coils and band rings, in particular of different diameters, is known. The anti-tip devices disclosed therein are inserted along a center line into slots between the individual coils, which ensures the desired protection against tipping, but both after coils have been placed in the storage trough and when removing the stored coils using a crane or coil tongs or The like requires a relatively time-consuming plugging and unplugging of the anti-tip devices.

A first commercially available trough-shaped storage device 10 for coils or band rings 50 shows 6 in a perspective view. This shows how laterally adjacent the two long sides 11 of a trough-shaped support 20 slots 30 are formed, into which supports 41 covering the width of a coil 50 can be inserted vertically as anti-tip protection 40, which secure the coil 50 against tipping over. The problem with this known storage trough 10 is that, particularly with wide supports 20, not all of them, especially coils 50 with small widths, can be captured and reliably secured. As a result, different racks 10 must be kept ready for coils 50 of different diameters.

An alternatively known storage trough 10 shows 7 in a front and side view as well as in a top view. It can be clearly seen how a pivotable safety rod 42 crossing the center of gravity line 53 of the coil 50 is arranged as a tilt protection 40 on one of the long sides 11 of the trough area 20. In this way, coils of 50 different diameters can be safely stored in one and the same storage trough. However, the advantage of pivoting is offset by the high costs for the mechanism of the pivoting base 43.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved storage device for coils or band rings, in particular of different widths and / or diameters, with a pivotable tilt protection, which can dispense with expensive pivoting mechanisms and ensure robust and safe storage of the coils or band rings.

This task is achieved by a storage device for coils or band rings of all kinds, in particular for coils or band rings of different widths and/or diameter, solved with the features of patent claim 1.

The storage device according to the invention comprises a trough-shaped support, at least one tilt protection, and at least one row of slots arranged parallel to the center line of the support on one and / or on both outer sides of the support for the variable arrangement of the tilt protection, each slot having at least a first and a second wall section opposite this is delimited; whereby all first wall sections and all second wall sections have the same distance from the center line from slot to slot; and wherein the first wall section is inclined at an angle of less than 90° and the second wall section is inclined at an angle of greater than 90° relative to a horizontal running perpendicular to the center line.

The arrangement of wall sections inclined to the horizontal according to the invention advantageously enables slots with a tapering shape (in the form of a truncated pyramid) in which a defined tilting movement of the tilt protection is possible.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention, which can be used individually or in combination with one another, are specified in the dependent claims.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first wall section forms a securing position and the second wall section forms a release position for the anti-tip device. Because the first wall section forms a securing position and the second wall section forms a release position for the anti-tip device, a tilting movement of the anti-tip device is advantageously enabled transversely to the center line directly within each slot, i.e. free of any joint device as is common in the prior art.

In a further embodiment, it is preferred that the wall sections cooperate with side walls. The interaction of the wall section with side walls advantageously prevents a tilting movement of the tilt protection along the center line.

It is also advantageous if opposing first and second wall sections are connected to one another by two opposing side walls. Connecting opposite wall sections with opposite side walls results in a stable slot, which can advantageously be used to guide a tilting movement of the tilt protection.

In a further embodiment preferred according to the invention, opposite first and second wall sections are advantageously part of a frame in which the side walls are held.

It has proven useful if the frame and the side walls are formed from sheets connected to one another in a form-fitting manner and/or welded together. The use of a frame allows inexpensive production and arrangement of slots along one or both long sides of the trough-shaped support. If the frame and the side walls are formed from sheets connected to one another in a form-fitting manner and/or welded to one another, preferably from sheets connected to one another in a form-fitting manner and welded to one another, the stability of the frame or of each individual slot for the anti-tip device can be advantageously increased.

Furthermore, an embodiment is preferred in which, in the securing position, the first (inner) wall section supports the anti-tip device when touched at an angle α relative to a horizontal running perpendicular to the center line, so that a head part of the anti-tip device points in the direction of the center line of the support, preferably this towered over.

It has proven useful that the angle α assumes values of 45° to 65°, preferably an angle of 55°.

If the first inner wall section, which is closer to the center line, supports the anti-tip device when touched at an angle relative to a horizontal that runs perpendicular to the center line, so that the head part of the anti-tip device points in the direction of the center line of the support, preferably projects beyond it, coils or band rings of different widths and /or diameter can be secured against tipping along the center line by the tilt protections pivoted towards the center line or the tilt protections. At a preferred angle of 55°, the tilt protection extends in such a way that both coils with a comparatively large and a comparatively small diameter can advantageously be stored in the same storage device, in particular with the same frame or slots with the same first wall sections.

In a further preferred embodiment, in the release position, the second (outer) wall section advantageously supports the anti-tip device when touched at an angle β relative to a horizontal running perpendicular to the center line, so that a head part of the anti-tip device points away from the center line of the support.

The angle β preferably assumes values of 105° to 125°, preferably an angle of 115°.

As a result, the anti-tip device, in particular its head part, can advantageously be pivoted out of the area above the trough-shaped support and the coils or band rings can thus be completely released, in particular for being picked up or removed by a crane or the like.

In addition, it has proven useful that the anti-tip device is formed from a body with a rectangular profile, preferably from a rectangular tube with a square hollow profile. For the same mass, anti-tip devices with a square hollow profile can advantageously have a moment of resistance that is around 30% higher than those with circular profiles (round tubes), which advantageously increases the stability of the anti-tip devices and thus of the storage device.

In a preferred embodiment, a longitudinal extent of the anti-tip device has values between 1200 mm and 2000 mm, preferably 1850 mm.

The use of anti-tip devices with a longitudinal extent within these values, preferably of 1850 mm, can be advantageous for coils or band rings with a (maximum) diameter of approximately 2200 mm and a width extension of the support of approximately 1300 mm to approximately 1600 mm Enable the coil or band ring to be secured using the anti-tip device beyond the eye of the coil or band ring to approximately half the distance between the center of the eye of the coil and the point on the edge of the coil that is closest to the frame and the point on the support opposite the edge of the coil . Securing the coil or band ring beyond the eye of the coil or band ring can advantageously reliably prevent tipping along the center line, particularly in the case of coils with comparatively large diameters.

The trough-shaped support is expediently formed by two, preferably trapezoidal, support prisms which hold the coils or band rings and can advantageously prevent them from rolling away.

Finally, an embodiment of the invention has proven successful in which at least one fastening device for fastening the support to the floor is provided along the center line of the support, preferably in an area between the support prisms. The at least one fastening device can advantageously prevent unintentional displacement and tipping over or tilting up of the storage device or parts thereof, in particular during loading and/or unloading of the coils or band rings.

A storage device with slots designed according to the invention advantageously enables the tilt protection to be tilted manually into two defined positions - inclined towards the center line of the support = "coil secured" and inclined towards the respective outside = "coil free" - without the need for further technical devices such as bearings , joints, axles or the like are required. The frame can advantageously stabilize the anti-tip device, particularly in the position inclined towards the center line - the securing position.

The storage device according to the invention is characterized by a simple, robust and therefore cost-effective design. The tilting mechanism does not require special technical devices such as bearings, joints, axles or the like, and is therefore low-maintenance and has comparatively lower tolerances, especially with regard to a tilting movement of the tilt protection along the center line.

The invention will now be explained by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings using preferred embodiments of storage devices.

In the following description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, like reference numerals designate like or comparable components.

1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a storage device 10 according to the invention with a coil or band ring 50 secured by a tilt protection 40 in a securing position I in a perspective view. The storage device 10 comprises a trough-shaped support 20, which can be formed by two support prisms 21, preferably trapezoidal as shown. At least one fastening device 24 for fastening the support 20 to the floor can be provided along the center line 12 of the support 20, preferably in an area between the support prisms 21. In 1 For example, three fastening devices 24 are shown at the respective ends of the storage device 10, as well as in a central area in the form of connecting plates between the support prisms 21, which can be fastened to the floor in particular via screws and prevent the storage device 10 from slipping or tipping over or parts of it can be advantageously prevented.

In addition, the storage device 10 according to the invention comprises at least one anti-tip device 40, as well as at least one row of slots 30 arranged parallel to the center line 12 of the support 20 on a row (as shown here) and/or on both outer sides 23 of the support 20 for the variable arrangement of the Tilt protection 40. The tilt protection 40 is advantageously formed from a body with a rectangular profile, preferably from a rectangular tube with a square hollow profile, and can have a longitudinal extension 402 with values between 1200 mm and 2000 mm, preferably 1850 mm. The longitudinal extent 402 of the anti-tip device 40 used in practice is expediently selected depending on the maximum diameter 51 of the coils or band rings 50 to be stored so that the coils or band rings 50 can be secured by means of the anti-tip device 40, in particular their head part 401 , beyond the eye 52 of the respective coil or band ring 50 to approximately half the distance between the center 54 of the eye 52 of the coil 50 and the point P opposite the frame 33 closest support point AP of the coil 50 on the support 20 at the edge of the coil 50 is made possible (see also 2 ).

In 1 It can also be seen that, according to the invention, each slot 30 is delimited at least by a first 31 and a second 32 wall section opposite this; that from slot 30 to slot 30 all first 31 wall sections and all second 32 wall sections are at the same distance from the center line 12; and that the first 31 wall section is inclined at an angle α smaller than 90° and the second 32 wall section is inclined at an angle β larger than 90° relative to a horizontal running perpendicular to the center line 12 (see also 5 ).

2 shows the storage device 10 according to 1 in a front view with anti-tip devices 40 in securing position I and in release position II. It can be seen that the first wall section 31 can advantageously form a securing position I and the second wall section 32 can form a release position II for the anti-tip device 40. The tilting of the anti-tip device 40 from the securing position I to the release position II can advantageously be done manually and does not require any further technical equipment, in particular no joint or axis to realize the pivoting movement. In 2 It can also be seen that when using a tilt protection 40 with a longitudinal extension 402 for coils 50 with a comparatively large diameter 51 (here coil 50a), coils 50 with a smaller diameter 51 (here coil 50b) can also be secured.

The tilting movement of the tilt protection 40 is advantageously guided safely by the shape of the slots 30 adapted to the tilt protection 40. For this purpose, the wall sections 31, 32 advantageously cooperate with side walls 34, whereby the opposite wall sections 31, 32 can in particular be part of a frame 33 in which the side walls 34 are held.

The 3 and 4 show a series of slots 30 for the variable arrangement of the anti-tip device 40, in which opposite wall sections 31, 32 of the slots 30 are part of a frame 33, in a perspective view ( 3 ) and in a top view ( 4 ). It is shown that the two opposite wall sections 31, 32 can be connected to one another by two opposite side walls 34. For this purpose, the frame 33 and the side walls 34 can be formed from sheets connected to one another in a form-fitting manner and/or welded together. To increase the stability of the storage device 10, frame 33 and side walls 34 are preferably both positively connected to one another and welded to one another.

In 5 Finally, the row of slots is 30 from the 3 and 4 seen in a front view.

The first (inner) wall section 31 of each slot 30 can advantageously hold the anti-tip device (40) when touched at an angle α relative to a perpendicular to the center line 12 Support horizontally so that the head part 401 of the anti-tip device 40 points in the direction of the center line 12 of the support 20, preferably this extends beyond us so that it assumes a securing position I for securing the coil or band ring 50. The angle α can assume values of 45° to 65°, preferably an angle of 55°.

The second (outer) wall section 32, on the other hand, supports the anti-tip device 40 upon contact at an angle β relative to a horizontal line perpendicular to the center line 12, advantageously in such a way that the head part 401 of the anti-tip device 40 points away from the center line 12 of the support 20. This release position II, which can be assumed, for example, by manually pivoting the anti-tip device 40 from the securing position I into the release position II, then advantageously enables free access to the coils or band rings 50 by means of a crane, coil tongs or the like. The angle β can assume values of 105° to 125°, preferably an angle of 115°.

The present invention relates to a storage device 10 for coils or band rings 50 of all kinds, comprising a trough-shaped support 20, at least one anti-tip device 40, and at least one arranged parallel to the center line 12 of the support 20 on one and/or on both outer sides 23 of the support 20 Row of slots 30 for the variable arrangement of the anti-tip device 40, characterized in that each slot 30 is delimited at least by two opposing wall sections 31, 32, of which one wall section 31 is at an angle α of less than 90 ° and the other wall section 32 is inclined at an angle β greater than 90 ° relative to a horizontal running perpendicular to the center line 12.

It is characterized by a simple, robust and therefore cost-effective design.

The tilting mechanism dispenses with special technical devices such as bearings, joints, axles or the like, is therefore low-maintenance and has comparatively lower tolerances, in particular with regard to a tilting movement of the tilting device 40 along the center line 12.
