Description

Method of loading a barge (a barge). 2308847 The present invention relates to a method for

Facilitating the loading of at least one very heavy and bulky load on a floating barge (barge), with which narrow passages such as locks are to be passed.

The production of goods with very large weights or unusual dimensions is developing on an increasing scale. After manufacture, in most cases it is essential to assemble these items for inspection.

They have to be dismantled, then transported in several elements and reassembled at the destination at great expense because the overland transport of such goods is very difficult. Their weight and dimensions are often greater than the limits permitted for railways and roads as well as above the load-bearing capacity of normal hoists.

The waterway offers wider possibilities, especially for canals with a European profile with locks of 100 m by 12 m and a minimum, free passage height under the lowest bridges of 5 »25 m at the highest water level.

There are barges (barges) that can take loads of 1000 tons and more, but the ones required to load them are missing Lifting equipment, the use of which in the event of a possible manufacture for reasons of excessive manufacturing and operating costs and would be impossible because of the transport difficulties that arise.

The aim of the invention is to facilitate the transport by water (loading and transport) of these very heavy and bulky Goods without prior dismantling with the help of existing equipment or equipment that can be produced without special technical difficulties (River barges, floating cranes, climbing lifting devices with large lifting capacities, trolleys ...).

In the method according to the invention, along the two sides of the preferably perpendicular to the loading quay are applied Barge (barge) attached in pairs opposite floating boxes, each of which with at least one vertically displaceable Column is provided, which can be fixed immovably in relation to the associated floating box. After that the lower end of these pillars has been supported on the ground, the floating boxes with the barge (barge) carried by them are raised until the inner floor of the barge (barge) is level with the extended level of the loading quay on which it is located

the load to be shipped is located.

Various other characteristics and advantages of the method according to the invention are moreover apparent from the following, detailed description.

S One embodiment of the method according to the invention

is described in detail by way of example without any intention of limitation, reference being made to the accompanying drawings.
On this drawing mean

- Figs. 1, 2, 6, 8, and 9 achematic longitudinal views * '

and Figures 3 to 5 and 7 are front views, all of which are schematic show the successive phases of the method according to the invention loading a heavy and bulky part. 1 denotes the part coming into collar,

/ 15 2, a transport barge (transport barge), which may just be can still operate on waterways with a European profile and is intended to accommodate this part, being on the ground and at the side of the barge (barge) and at one of the barges At the end of a watertight door 3,

¹ ^ 4, a service barge on which a crane 5 is attached for moving certain elements of the loading device in the event that no hoist is available on land,

6, swimming box, which are intended to be provisional on the sides of the transport barge 2 (Tran portkahn 2) attached to

"S" and lift it up,

7 and 8, Kletterhubvorrichtungen ^ ind columns, which in the Barge 2 (barge 2) can be carried or brought to the loading location of Part 1 using another means of transport, 9, push boats or tugs used to move the barge 2 (barge 2) or the barges 2 (barges 2) and the Floating box 6 are provided.

The charging processes are carried out in the following way: - As shown in Fig. 1, two units can be put together around the various pieces of equipment

To transport Iff to the place of use; a first push or tugboat moves the floating box 6, which are coupled to one another, as well as the operating barge 4 (operating barge 4), the crane boom of which is lowered. A second push boat 9 pushes the transport barge 2 (transport barge 2) in which the climbing lifting devices 7 and the columns are stowed;

- then, as shown in Figs. 2 to 4,

the floating box 6 alongside the barge 2 (barge 2) and brought to Maintaining the balance at the appropriate points on their side walls arranged, with two floating boxes attached with ropes facing each other (Fig. 5). In this condition is the bottom of the barge (barge) above and away from the lower connecting means 10 with which each floating box is equipped. The barge 2 (barge 2) is provided with sufficient ballast (Fig. 4) until the associated connecting means their bottom in the lower connecting means 10 of the swimming pool intervention. Then the upper fastening means 11 are attached to the connection of the floating boxes with the board edge of the Barke (barge) to produce so that the mentioned floating boxes with the mentioned barge (barge) to a rigid unit ztxs am quantity adds are;

- With the aid of the crane 5, the climbing lifting devices 7 are then ^{attached to>} the upper surfaces of the floating boxes 6 (Abu. 5 and 6), the columns 8 are, one after the other

placed on each side of Barke2 (Barge 2) (Fig. 7) where, Zo, the floating boxes 6 are as necessary to optionally provided with ballast to the transverse board level during this process largely to the horizontal to halten.Nach inserting a Slüle this is held in its upper position by actuating the associated climbing lifting device;

Ζζ - the barge 2 (barge 2), which is now equipped with the floating boxes 6, the climbing lifting devices 7 and the columns 8 (Fig. 7), is thus ready for loading; It is driven perpendicular to quay 12 and against it (Fig. 8). By means of the lifting devices 7, the columns 8 are lowered until they sit with their lower end on the ground. The barge 2 (barge 2) and, if necessary, the floating boxes 6 are provided with ballast in order to preload the columns 8. This preload must at least correspond to the maximum weight of the part 1 to be loaded. By actuating the KIetterhubvorriohtungen 7 »which work up on the named columns and with the help of the floating box 6, the barge 2 (barge 2) is raised until its inner floor 13 is at the level of the extended level of the loading quay 12;

- After the ballast of the bark 2 (barge 2) and possibly the floating body 6 has been removed, the part 1

* K) for example with the help of trolleys 14, which are located on one on the quay move paved taxiway to the one at the end of the barge (barge) <

"located opening released by removing the door. With the help of the lifting devices 7, the type of which is a step-by-step climbing, for example through pneumatic ones, encompassing the columns Enables cuffs, the barge (barge) is held at its loading height. The trolleys 14 convey the part 1 ^ iS in the

Barge 2 (barge 2). Between the bottom of the last-mentioned and the mentioned part 1, lifting presses are introduced, which allow the trolleys 14 to be withdrawn and replaced by washer blocks. These lifting presses are in turn removed and the -to watertight door 3 closed;

- After completion of the loading process, the lifting devices 7 are operated again, this time around the barge 2 (barge 2) in their Lower the swimming position and the columns 8 in their upper position boot up;

AS - then the columns are successively moved with the help of the

Crane 5 pulled out, the floating boxes 6 to be optionally provided with ballast to maintain the horizontal. The lifting devices 7 are removed, the upper attachment means 11 is unlocked and the connecting ropes corresponds between the caissons 6 Zo removed. To release the unreal connection means 10, the floating boxes are ballasted and removed from the loaded barge (barge). The ballast is then removed and the floating boxes are coupled together for transport.

The invention is not limited to the above in detail * G described embodiment, as are possible to various changes without limiting the scope of the invention · is exited.

The method according to the invention is applicable to the port movement of very heavy and bulky cargo using the SO sea and waterways.
