DE19643797C1 - Partitioning device for cargo space of transport unit - Google Patents

Abstract

The partitioning device consists of one or more vertical partition walls, able to be moved and locked in the longitudinal direction, and able to be raised and lowered. Each partition wall (3) has a cutout (4) of such measurements as to enable the partition walls to move freely when unlocked. A second loading platform (1,2) can be inserted through the cutouts. This platform rests on two bars (7) on cross bearers (5), supports (6) and feet (9) which are built into the partition walls and can be moved vertically, when the partitions are unlocked. When they are locked, the platform rests on the wagon floor (10).

Description

The invention relates to a device for dividing the loading space Transport unit, in particular a rail freight wagon, consisting of a continuous second loading level divided in the longitudinal direction of the wagon and a device for supporting this second loading level.

The currently known covered large sliding wall wagons have only one Loading level and secure the load against transport loads e.g. B. movable and lockable partitions - for example, by DE 34 63 707 A1 and DE 44 00 394 A1 are known, air cushions and. the like

The disadvantage of this solution is that the cargo space is only vertical individual compartments can be divided.

With light-weight palletized loads, the permissible Load limit and the volume of the transport container are no longer fully used become, because of increasingly light and unstable transport goods such as e.g. B. Packaging a stack of the load is no longer possible is. The result is a worsening of capacity utilization and thus the Economy of these cars.

From the generic CH 2927 / 93-6 a device for Subdivide the cargo space of a transport unit, especially one Railway freight car known, in which the vertical partitions, which in Longitudinal direction can be shifted and set with vertical slidable pads are provided to accommodate a vertical load serve and which can be supported via supports on the floor of the loading space.

A load securing device is known from DE 44 13 547 A1, in which the Load protection walls or removable load flaps Bracket elements are arranged, which serve as an intermediate floor.  

DE 94 02 448 U1 relates to a loading vessel with an open end and Side walls, a load-bearing loading level in connection with longitudinally lockable Partitions that reduce the weight in the longitudinal direction with the load-bearing components of the loading vessel can be connected.

Although these solutions offer a large variability in the utilization of the Available cargo space for palletized goods. The disadvantage is in that this solution is structurally very complex, difficult and therefore expensive is. The partitions must also be positioned as it is from the Pallet or a correspondingly stable base is specified.

The invention has for its object while avoiding the aforementioned Disadvantages of the prior art are the utilization of the available To improve cargo space.

This object is achieved by a device with the features of claim 1.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the Subclaims presented.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 4 Locked partition in the operating position with the floors of the second loading level pushed apart.

The second loading level is continuous from end wall to end wall (Fig. 1) and as shown in Figure 4 is divided in the longitudinal direction in the center, so that in each case a charge half (1) of the second charging level at the loading of the lower carriage bottom -. Depending on the Loading side - can be pushed over the other loading half ( 2 ). As partitions, partitions are used which can be raised and displaced from the grid rails and can be lowered and locked into the grid rails via their mounting on the running rail. The partitions ( 3 ) are provided with correspondingly large cutouts ( 4 ). The supports of the second loading level ( 1 , 2 ) each form the partitions ( 3 ) themselves, ie the cross members ( 5 ) and supports ( 6 ) integrated in the partitions ( 3 ) and the lifting devices integrated in the end walls. For reasons of weight and strength, the integrated devices in the partition walls and end walls made of extruded aluminum profiles, but it is also the use of other materials, eg. B. Alu steel wood composite construction possible.

The supports (6) of the transverse support (5) for supporting the second loading level (1, 2) which are integrated in the partition wall (3) are freely movable in the vertical direction in the partition wall (3).

In the unlocked state of the partition ( 3 ) - Fig. 2 - the cross member ( 5 ) on two supports ( 7 ), which are firmly connected to the vertical profiles ( 8 ) of the partition walls ( 3 ). In this state, the play between the foot ( 9 ) of the supports ( 6 ) is minimal and only so great that the partition ( 3 ) can be moved without the feet ( 9 ) touching the carriage floor ( 10 ).

In the locked state of the partition ( 3 ) - Fig. 3, the partition ( 3 ) is lowered to the car floor ( 10 ). The supports ( 6 ) stand on their feet ( 9 ) on the car floor ( 10 ). The cross member ( 5 ) is no longer on the support ( 7 ). The weight of the second loading level ( 1 , 2 ) including the load is deposited on the carriage floor ( 10 ) via the cross member ( 5 ) located in the partition ( 3 ) and the supports ( 6 ) and feet ( 9 ).

The two halves ( 1 , 2 ) of the second loading level remain in the pushed-together state, as shown in FIG. 3, if the other half of the freight car is to be loaded from the floor of the car over the entire clear height of the freight car - or are pushed apart, as shown in Fig. 4 if, after loading the lower half, the upper half is to be loaded over the entire width of the car.

The recesses ( 4 ), crossbeams ( 5 ) and supports ( 6 ) located in the partition ( 3 ) are designed so that, taking into account the deflection of the second loading level ( 1 , 2 ), they can receive and support them.

Since the partitions ( 3 ) serve as supports for the second loading level ( 1 , 2 ), they must be positioned and locked before loading.

A partition ( 3 ), for example in the middle of the car, is equipped with a lifting device so that the second loading level ( 1 , 2 ) can be raised before being pushed over one another and pushed over one another.

In the area of the end walls, the receiving devices can be mechanically, be operated hydraulically, electrically or pneumatically. The hub is there dimensioned so that the two levels are manual or motor let it slide over one another.

In the respective end positions or operating positions, the lifting devices are relieved and the receiving devices are supported on permanently installed supports in the end walls. The second loading level ( 1 , 2 ) is not lifted under load.

The second loading level ( 1 , 2 ) is provided with rollers in the area of the end walls and in the area of the greatest deflection, so that it can be pushed over one another more easily. The roles are relieved during the operating position. The actuating devices for executing the lifting movements can optionally also be attached outside the end walls in the form of a handwheel.

To prevent the load from slipping transversely to the longitudinal axis of the wagon, the outer edges of the second loading level ( 1 , 2 ) facing the sliding walls are provided with a web pointing upwards. This web can also be part of the frame profile.
