DE2534377A1 - Road rail container transfer installation - has mobile overhead gantry interposed between overhead cables and train for indirect and direct transfer - Google Patents

Abstract

The container transfer method has a mobile lifting device interposed between the electric overhead cables of the railway and the train. The lifting device moves on an overhead gantry supported by drivable wheels on rails. The overhead gantry may be moved along the train or parallel to it with the lifting device remaining between the overhead cable and the train. The transfer installation includes several transfer lines on the loading ramp, thus permitting two-way transfer operations so that one item may be placed on the vacant spot in one line with another item being loaded on the same truck without any length movement of the gantry. In addition this layout permits direct transfer of containers from the railway truck to a road vehicles and vice versa.

Description

Title of the invention: Equipment for handling goods (in particular of cargo units such as containers and swap bodies) with the addition of a crane-like construction, which also operate under the overhead line of the railway can.

The invention relates to the method and the device for handling of cargo units from railway wagons to a room and position by moving to the passage of the electric main line locomotive a trolley track between the electric is introduced to the catenary of the railway and the railway wagons, such that the required safety distance of 300mm between the top point of the trolley and the electrical overhead line is observed. A secondary device like at Spieleinin The gantry crane can operate between the ramp and the storage trolley or loading line for Take over the truck.

In this process with the help of the crane to be explained Gerites, hereinafter referred to as transshipment, should be made possible that the train with his electric main line locomotive can drive directly into the transshipment facility, and that the Cargo handling takes place immediately afterwards.

Ferrer can change the processing time of the train by using it these devices that are distributed along the length of the train and work at the same time, can be significantly reduced.

Since deys device can be designed to run on rails, it has the advantage easier automation.

In all known systems, such goods are used for loading and unloading on or from wagons heavy lifting equipment, floor conveyors or lowering devices used. In some of the known systems, the goods are transported on rollers rolled over the wagons on drop-off or intermediate platforms. (see Study Society for combined transport: investigation into the development of a new transitional procedure with target organization of the goods with minimal maneuvering effort, especially lateral movement of the transport units with the help of a mobile loading platform, Frankurt, 196 @) at other systems are aie goods onne rolling works with stationary or mobile heavy Lifting equipment transferred from the wagon to the parking spaces. Sometimes this happens by means of heavy industrial trucks such as fork lift trucks or similar devices.

previously known devices for loading or unloading wagons over Head rumps are generally only suitable for loading or unloading individual wagons.

The German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2164915 describes one on a Road vehicle-mounted transfer device for loads (especially containers) using a spreader or grippers.

The disadvantage of this device is that it is in the working position cannot be moved due to the extended supports. Furthermore, it is for Working under the electrical overhead line of the railway is not suitable.

The previously difficult hoists are also under the electric Overhead line of the railway cannot be used. It is always the case with such devices necessary to handle the goods on routes without an electrical overhead line to undertake.

The following disadvantages apply to translation systems with scrolling units: - At handling road vehicles difficulties are to be expected as the device a parallelism between the relocating device and the goods to be relocated is required.

- It is only possible to carry out repositioning processes at the same height.

- Guide rails must be placed on the goods transport vehicles or ramps to be available.

- It is not possible to turn the goods.

The process of transshipment of goods by means of heavy floor conveyors such as Forklift requires paved roads.

werner, these devices require a very wide roadway, because that Good is usually recorded across the direction of travel.

The invention is based on the problem of driving in the through train with the electric mainline locomotive to the transshipment facility, as well as as fast as possible Reloading the goods between train and ramp under the electric To enable overhead lines of the railway This object is achieved according to the invention by that a trolley track on which a trolley with the load handling device travels, is introduced between the loaded wagon and the overhead line of the railway, whereby the safety distance between the upper trolley boundary and the electrical overhead line will. During the entry of the electric mainline locomotive, the two cantilever arms are shaped Parts of the trolley track pulled in, so that the locomotive with its pantograph does not have any Oppose obstacles.

The one on the train is in the form of a folding arm or is part of the trolley track is supported by a support wheel on an opposite, special support rail away. The support wheel can also be driven, so that in a longitudinal process parallel to the train, the running resistance of the support wheel can be better overcome.

The load attack on the goods to be handled now takes place as with known ones Cranes from above. If flats or swap bodies are to be damaged, only one Allow the load to be attacked from below, so gripping tongs can also be used on the load handling device are provided.

There are two traces on the ramp that the loader swings over intended for setting down the goods, so that the following double play is possible in each case is: in Gut is ready for loading in a track. The Um.-leather sums it up Goods standing on the wagon and places them in the second, parallel parking lane away. The device then takes hold of the other goods that are standing by and uses them to oil the wagon Except for small positioning movements, these operations are carried out without the Lämgs method of the transshipment or train.

The two Aostell lanes can also be designed as loading lanes, so that LK or trailer can be operated directly.

In the case of an attached large storage area or transshipment point, this is not necessary a secondary device, e.g. a gantry crane with cantilever arms that overlaps the loader, to operate the storage area or to operate other modes of transport.

This gives the possibility of pre-sorting the one Loading the train for a specific purpose or according to target groups sorted permitted.

Since the loader can also be moved a little, it enables train loading even if the individual wagons of the train meet the cargo handled not exactly facing each other on the ramp, e.g. due to coupling play.

It goes without saying that the simultaneous use of several loaders is oeim Loading or unloading of a train is possible in terms of rapid dispatch.

For example, if a wagon is loaded with several small containers, then a multiple spreader, which can bevel several containers at the same time, can be used come.

Instead of the large gantry crane, other secondary devices such as Gantry forklifts are used. For this it would be beneficial to have the cargo handled by one to rotate a certain angle around the vertical axis in order to access the secondary device to enable every good.

The loader can be partially automated very easily because it is rail-bound can be built and can be positioned on the wagons or handling goods.

The advantages achieved by the invention consisted in d through trains with electric traction without reclamping the locomotive or time-consuming shunting in the transshipment facility can drive in, and a loading and unloading of the wagons underneath the electrical overhead line can be made.

Furthermore, there is the 'logical' pre-sorting of the goods and thus the formation of targeted charges.

This misdirection serves, especially if it is automated, one faster handling and thus a shorter dwell time of the trains in the Handling facility.

The economic effects are: - Reduction of handling costs - Accelerated transport of goods - saving of labor - shorter turnaround times for the wagons \ - avoiding train changes by shunting the The invention will be explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.

After the train comes to a standstill, the folding trolley lanes will be around 900 swiveled out and locked and can with their support wheels 4 puf the support rail 5 to lie. The trolley 6 moves over the container 7 and lowers the spreader 8 and grabs the container with it. The trolley then moves back over the free container lane 9 and unloads the load there. Then the container 10 to be loaded is picked up and load the wagon with it. Further wagons can then be used in a corresponding manner be changed. The joints 11 of the folding trolley track 3 are neck bearings that can be moved vertically by means of a lifting cylinder 12a, so that the support wheels 4 Do not hit the support rail when swiveling the arms out.

The secondary device 13, which towers above the loader, now takes over the further transport to storage place 14 or to LK.t Ladestraße 15.
