Abstract

Stacking column (1) for storing or transporting goods with pivoting pawl levers (4.1 to 4.7), which control each other so that when moving a pawl lever (4.1 to 4.6) in a working position of the following latch lever (4.2 to 4.7) from a rest position in reaches a ready position, characterized in that during the movement of a pawl lever (4.1 to 4.7) from the rest position to the standby position and during the movement of a pawl lever (4.1 to 4.7) swept from the standby position to the working position angles are different.

Description

The The invention relates to a stacking column for storage or transportation of stored goods with hinged ratchet levers that control each other so that when Spend a ratchet lever in a working position of it following latch lever from a rest position to a standby position arrives.

Stacking columns are have long been known and they are no longer from mass production indispensable. Stacking columns are used mainly in the production of body parts in the automotive industry, and individually or to several in horizontal, vertical or any one Intermediate angle of directed alignment in devices or containers, in which, for example, body panels or other stored goods stored or transported. Each stacking column has a variety of Ratchet levers, of which in the unfilled state, a first in Ready position is located. If a stored product is placed on this latch lever, pivots the latch lever in working position and takes one subsequent latch lever with, in this way in the ready position arrives while then the following latch lever remain in their rest positions. This process continues with each further pivoting of a in the ready position ratchet lever in the working position until the stacking column is completely filled. The control of the ratchet lever can pull tabs or over to the Ratchets attached scenes done.

at cover the known stacking columns the latch lever in the movement from the rest position to the standby position and in the movement from the standby position to the working position nearly same size Angle. Furthermore is the position of the ready position through the construction the stacking column clearly defined.

In contrast, is the object of the present invention is to provide a stacking column advantageous further education.

Is solved This object with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of Invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

By the design of the stacking column such, that when moving a ratchet lever from the rest position in the ready position and the movement of a ratchet lever of the standby position swept into the working position Angles are different in size, results in an extension of the application of the stacking column. Especially dependent on from the stored goods to be stacked it may be desirable when the standby position is a smaller or a larger angle equivalent.

Especially It is advantageous if the case of the movement of a ratchet lever swept from the rest position to the standby position Angle is greater as in the movement of a ratchet lever from the standby position recaptured in the working position Angle. In this case, takes place during the introduction of a stored goods and the associated pivoting of the ratchet lever of the Ready position in the working position only a slight relative movement the ratchet lever to the stored goods, whereby possible damage to the Storage goods are prevented.

For a further education The invention proposes that each latch lever two pull tabs with different distance to the pivot axis of the ratchet lever and pull tabs in pull tabs a Zuglaschenbolzen a pawl lever and the respective other pull tabs of a pick up adjacent latch lever. This will be for minor structural changes over known stacking columns Achieved that when moving a ratchet lever of the Rest position in the ready position and the movement a ratchet lever swept from the ready position to the working position Angles are different in size. The size of the respective angular ranges can over the selection of the distances of the Tension tabs are specified by the pivot axis.

To an advantageous embodiment of this development take a Pull tab pin receiving the pull tab with greater distance to the pivot axis of a pawl lever and the other pull tab receptacle the pull tab with a smaller distance to the pivot axis of the following ratchet lever on. This ensures that the in the movement of a pawl lever from the rest position in the Standby position swept over Angle is greater as in the movement of a ratchet lever from the standby position recaptured in the working position Angle.

Based the drawing, the invention is explained in detail. Show it:

1 a stacking column,

2 a top view of the stacking column,

3 a section along the line BB of 1 and

4 an enlarged view of detail A of the 3 ,

The in the 1 to 4 illustrated stacking column 1 has a side wall 2 , which is part of a 2 recognizable U-shaped rail 3 is. In the U-shaped rail 3 are latch lever 4.1 . 4.2 . 4.3 . 4.4 . 4.5 . 4.6 and 4.7 on swivel axes 5.1 . 5.2 . 5.3 . 5.4 . 5.5 . 5.6 and 5.7 pivoted. The stacking column 1 can be installed, for example, in a horizontal orientation individually or to several in a transport container, not shown for body parts or other storage goods. In addition, a vertical or any angle alignment is possible.

The control of the pawl lever 4.1 to 4.7 takes place in a known manner via pull tabs 6 with round pull-tabs 7 and slot-shaped Zuglaschenbolzenaufnahmen 8th , For this purpose, each ratchet lever 4.1 to 4.7 two pull tabs 9.1 . 9.2 . 9.3 . 9.4 . 9.5 . 9.6 . 9.7 and 10.1 . 10.2 . 10.3 . 10.4 . 10.5 . 10.6 . 10.7 at different distances to the pivot axis 5.1 to 5.7 , The pull tabs 7 take the pull tabs 9.2 to 9.7 with a smaller distance to the pivot axis 5.1 to 5.7 and the pull tab receptacles 8th the pull tabs 10.1 to 10.6 with greater distance to the pivot axis 5.1 to 5.7 on. This will be the latch lever 4.1 to 4.7 controlled in such a way that when moving a ratchet lever in one of the stacking column 1 outstanding working position of the following ratchet lever reaches ready position, while the then following pawl lever in their inside the U-shape 3 remain at rest. Here are the ratchet lever 4.1 to 4.7 under the biasing force of a torsion spring acting in the direction of the rest position 11 , Alternatively, a known weight control of the latch lever 4.1 to 4.7 conceivable in the rest position.

The pull tabs 9.1 to 9.7 and 10.1 to 10.7 are in the side cheeks of the latch lever 4.1 to 4.7 arranged, with the pull tabs 10.1 to 10.7 with their ends in scenes 12.1 to 12.7 in the sidewall 2 intervention. The scenes 12.1 to 12.7 limit the possible pivoting movements of the latch lever 4.1 to 4.7 ,

In the drawing is the stacking column 1 shown without stored goods. The latch lever 4.1 is in working position, ratchet lever 4.2 in ready position and all subsequent ratchet levers 4.3 to 4.7 in their rest positions within the U-shaped rail 3 , When filling the stacking column 1 the stored goods are in the direction of the arrow 13 fed. To facilitate the guidance of the stored goods during insertion, can be at the stacking column 1 an unillustrated Einweisblech be mounted.

When inserting the second stored material, not shown in the drawing this abuts the end of the latch lever 4.2 and moves it from the standby position shown in the drawing into its working position. You can see that when moving a ratchet lever 4.1 to 4.7 from the rest position to the standby position swept angle is greater than that during the movement of a pawl lever 4.1 to 4.7 Angle swept from the ready position to the working position.

When moving the ratchet lever 4.2 from the ready position to the working position becomes the next latch lever 4.3 over the pull tab 6 moved in ready position and is ready to receive the next stored goods.

This process is repeated continuously until the stacking column 1 is completely filled with stored goods and all latch levers 4.1 to 4.7 are in working position.

With fully loaded stacking column 1 can the working position of the top ratchet lever 4.7 be secured by a securing device, not shown, such as a spring latch. Due to the control over the pull tabs 6 and in particular the arrangement of the slot-shaped Zuglaschenbolzenaufnahmen 10.1 to 10.7 So are all the other pawls 4.1 to 4.6 secured.

To remove the stored goods, the spring latch is first released. This leaves the uppermost ratchet lever 4.7 and all the other pawls 4.1 to 4.6 due to the weight of the stored goods in the working position.

Now, the last supplied stored goods can be removed, in which case the top latch lever 4.7 due to the torsion spring 11 pivoted to the ready position. When removing the next stored goods swung the latch lever 4.6 from the working position to his standby position. By controlling the latch lever 4.1 to 4.7 by means of the pull tabs 6 at the same time a pivoting of the ratchet lever 4.7 from the ready position to the rest position and the stored goods can be removed.

In the situation shown in the drawing, there is still a stored goods on the ratchet lever 4.1 , When removing the on the latch lever 4.1 stored goods and movement against the direction of the arrow 13 pivots the latch lever 4.1 due to the torsion spring 11 in his standby position and the latch lever 4.2 from the ready position to the rest position.

After removal of the last stored goods from the stacking column 1 is the ratchet lever 4.1 in ready position and the ratchet levers 4.2 to 4.7 at rest It is understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described. For example, the stacking column could 1 also be used in any other mounting position in storage and transport containers for stored goods. The control of the ratchet lever is not only conceivable via pull tabs, but could also be done via control arms or scenes, which are provided on the ratchet levers. The bias of the ratchet lever in the direction of the rest position could also be done by gravity, in which case additional weights would be necessary to install.
