"Metallic receiving device as a carrier for industrial products"

The present invention relates to a metallic receiving device as a carrier for industrial products, in particular a modular device for products such as Trays that allow the storage of product packages.

So far, carrier devices have been used as the basis for sheet metal stacks, so so-called pallets, made of wood with a thickness of about 130 to 180 mm. This requires storage a considerable volume of wood for the production of the beams as well as a considerable storage volume for intermediate storage of the carrier produced. In addition, packages can be made with such wooden beams can only be stacked on top of each other to a limited extent, which is due to the large amount of space required due to the thickness each carrier is conditional. In addition, beams made of wood must each time according to the dimensions of the products to be recorded.

The object of the invention is a carrier of small thickness

to produce, which can be assembled very easily with the help of a modular system.

This aim is achieved according to the invention by a metal support achieved, which is made in the simplest case from a flat sheet metal can be. According to the invention, the carrier consists of a sheet metal which is shaped so that there are several has mutually parallel grooves, which thereby each form projections protruding in the same direction, wherein the gutters are connected to one another by intermediate surfaces which are each in the same plane, and the channels being divided into at least three groups, of which the two lateral groups are divided from the central one Group are separated by intermediate surfaces of predetermined size. Such a carrier can be made in one piece from a flat Sheet metal of common dimensions or made of several parts, which represent different building blocks and themselves with one or more grooves overlapping one another.

Such carriers have the following advantages in particular:

1. They have a mechanical resistance which allows a stack of about 2 m height and a total load of about 22 t,

2. They allow direct pick-up by a forklift due to the wide grooves that line the side Separate groups of troughs from the middle group of troughs, and which can be picked up by the forklift's grippers,

3. You can, for. B. simply by adding profiled trusses, designed so that they are directly through a bridge crane, ζ. B. of the type COBRA, regardless of the

The length of the stack can be recorded,

4. They can easily be produced in different lengths by partially overlapping the individual building blocks are placed next to each other, comprising a sheet which at least one group of lateral gutters and a group of inner grooves, the latter group in turn again with a variable number of Gutters can be provided.

An additional advantage in economic terms is that proposed according to the invention carrier from Reject sheets can be produced, whereby these reject products experience an appreciation and recovery.

Further features, advantages and details of the invention emerge from the following description of some preferred ones Embodiments based on the drawing. Show it

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an inventive Carrier?

2 schematically shows the adaptation to the gripper of a forklift truck;

Fig. 3 different embodiments of an inventive Carrier; and

4 shows an exploded view to illustrate the storage of a stack on a stack according to the invention Carrier.

A carrier comprising a sheet metal 1 is designed so that it has a plurality of mutually parallel grooves 2, each of which

are open on the same side of the sheet. These gutters are divided into three separate groups. The side Groups A each comprise a channel 2, while the middle group B comprises one or more channels 2, one below the other are connected by intermediate surfaces 3. The side groups A of the channels 2 are from the middle group B. separated by intermediate surfaces 4, which are larger than the intermediate surfaces 3. The intermediate surfaces 3 and 4 lie in FIG the same level.

The size of the channels 2 is advantageously chosen so that it corresponds to a standard size for metal profiles, and the The size of the intermediate surface 4 between the lateral groups of channels 2 and the central group is advantageous chosen so that there in the longitudinal direction the gripper of a forklift, as shown in Fig. 2, can intervene, wherein the reference number 5 denotes this gripper of the forklift, which itself is not shown.

A carrier according to the invention can consist of one part or through the combination of several elements can be formed.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the carrier is formed from two elements, which are partially Lay overlapping against each other. In Fig. 3 several carriers I, II, III .... are illustrated, which accordingly are composed of two basic elements. If one looks first at the smallest carrier I it can be seen that he is composed of two identical elements 10, each of which consists of a sheet metal with a channel 11 is provided, by which a lateral group A is formed, and with a channel 12, which the middle group B

-A -

forms. The assembly of the carrier is carried out simply in that the channel 12 of one element 10 in the channel 12 of the another element is placed.

The other carriers shown are constructed in a similar manner. The carrier II is formed by an element 10, which has two grooves 11, 12, and by an element 20, which has three channels 21, 22, 23, the channel 23 lying in the channel 12. The two grooves 11 and 21 form the two outer groups A of the wearer, while the grooves 22 and 23/12 form the middle group B of the wearer. The carrier III differs from the carrier II in that it is composed of two identical elements 20, the grooves 23 lie on top of each other.

The carrier IV is formed by an element 20 with three grooves 21, 22, 23 and by an element 30 with four grooves 31, 32, 33, 34. The channels 21 and 31 form the lateral groups A, the group B here comprising four channels. The carrier V is composed of two identical elements 30, the middle group B comprising five channels.

The carrier VI is formed by an element 30 with four grooves 31 to 34 and by an element 40 with five grooves 41 to 45. In this exemplary embodiment, the element 40 itself already represents a carrier according to the invention with two lateral ones Grooves 41, 45 and three central grooves 42, 43, 44 represent. The groove 34 of the element 30 lies on the groove 45 of the Elements 40. The channels 31 and 41 form the lateral groups A of the beam VI and the channels 32, 33, 34/45, 44, and 42 form the middle group B.

The carriers VII and VIII are both made up of two elements 40
composed of five channels 41 to 45. In the case of the carrier VII, the channels 44 and 45 of one element are in contact with the channels 44 and 45 of the other element, while in the case of carrier VIII only the channels 45 are in contact with one another, as a result of which
a carrier can be produced which has a size which is larger than that of a single element, so that completely different elements are made from only two elements
Sizes can be made.

The exemplary embodiments shown in FIG. 3 illustrate that, starting from some basic elements, from
which each comprises at least one group of side gutters and a group of middle gutters of different numbers, it is possible according to the invention, very simple carriers under different widths according to the packages to be stored
to manufacture.

The storage of a stack with the aid of a metallic carrier according to the invention is illustrated schematically by the exploded view in FIG. 4. The carrier is arranged so that the grooves 2 look down and the intermediate surfaces 3 and 4 of the sheet metal look up, so that these serve as a support surface for the stack. B. made of metal profiles or blocks of wood or steel, are advantageously inserted into the recesses of the side channels on the outer wall in order to achieve a uniform load distribution, which is caused by the stack. The stack is deposited on the intermediate surfaces 3 and the carrier and on stabilizing profiles 7,
which hold the stack together at the sides. The cohesion of the overall arrangement is brought about by metal strips (not shown).

To enable the girder to be handled by an overhead crane, the carrier is placed on several trusses 8, which are formed by metal profiles.

To the advantage of the procedure according to the invention with regard to to illustrate the entire stack volume, it should be noted that when stacking wooden beams up to one Height of approx. 2 m a total load of approx. 15 400 kg was taken can be. By means of carriers according to the invention (2 χ 1 m) can take a load of approx. 22,000 kg at the same height which means an increase of approx. 38% with regard to the state of the art.
