Description

The invention relates to a system for loading

Transport containers or transport pallets for road vehicles on rail vehicles or vice versa, which for the first time enables many loading processes can be carried out in the shortest possible time, even with large and heavy goods. It can be whole Rail trains are loaded or unloaded at the same time.

There are many reasons for a more mobile system between rail and road transport. Already a few examples show the need for traffic between rail and Road to connect more closely with each other.

The energy demand for today's freight traffic has increased to such an extent that that it is vital to reorganize all freight traffic.

Today's road traffic has a substantial share in energy consumption. It also generates a predominant proportion of environmental pollution. It will unnecessarily burned raw materials that future generations will need to produce plastics, To be able to produce medicines and vital organic compounds.

Freight traffic on the road is the main cause of further Expansion of the road network. As a result, there will be even more vital green spaces destroyed.

The enormous road construction costs consume capital that makes more sense for nature and humanity could be used.

No, last spoke of the many people who had had an accident in traffic for the need to fundamentally relieve road traffic. On the one hand the railway is not able to economically -that is profitable- on the other hand, the road network is overloaded by freight traffic.

The loading is currently executed with totally inadequate means. There are only access ramps and loading cranes - the latter for containers and heavy = well available. Loading is therefore only possible in pieces.

The invention is based on the problem raised of modern freight transport.

The device according to the invention enables road freight traffic to relocate the main part to the railway, without thereby the advantages of the road traffic On the contrary, freight traffic can presumably be accelerated. this certainly applies to the winter months and the main vacation time during the holidays.

The proposal according to the invention shows how with comparatively low Means the problems raised can be solved. The rail network is in sufficient = the scope available. The wear and tear on the road surface is incomparable lower than that in road traffic.

The expansion of the necessary lane, next to the railway lane, costs one Fraction of the costs for the motorway expansion or for the road repairs.

The system proposed according to the invention for loading transport containers and loading pallets make it possible to load entire trains almost simultaneously.

In addition to the railway line (6), a route for trucks will be set up, which runs so close to the track body that the loading area is down to a few centimeters stand next to each other.

A horizontal shifting device (5) shifts the load from one vehicle to another. To keep the displacement force as low as possible, the containers or the pallets are stored on rollers.

Hydraulic cylinders are used on each rail car for the shifting process suggested who do the actual loading.

The function of simultaneous loading is made possible by the side by side Line up the vehicles.

The drawings illustrate the structure of an inventive system System for loading transport containers or transport pallets.

Claims (6)

PATENT CLAIMS 1. System for loading transport containers from Road vehicles (2) - drawing 1- on rail-bound vehicles or vice versa from rail-bound vehicles (1) to road vehicles, d a d u r c h g e k It is noted that the lanes (3) and (4) of both vehicles are so close are arranged parallel next to each other that both vehicles continue to be except for a few To come to stand centimeters next to each other, thus by shifting sideways, across to the longitudinal axis of the vehicles, the container (5) can be loaded. 2. Plant according to claim 1, d a d u r c h g e k e n n z e i c h n e t that the lane heights (3,4) - drawing 2- both means of transport so in the heights are adjusted so that the loading levels of the two vehicles (1) + (2) are on the same Height. 3. Appendix according to 1 and 2, d u r c h e k e n n n z e i c h n e t, that the container (5) have rollers (6) on the underside, the axis of rotation of which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container (5) and so a rope move on rollers is made possible. 4. Plant according to claim 1 to 3, d a d u r c h g e k e n n z e i c h n e t that the sliding device is preferably carried out by means of hydraulic cylinders (7) - Drawing 3- is driven, which are mounted on the rail vehicle (1). 5. Plant according to claim 1 to 4, d a d u r c h g e k e n n z e i c N e t that the loading system is as long as a normal train length to the loading from several containers at the same time, to be able to carry out in the shortest possible time. 6. Plant according to claim 1 to 5, d a d u r c h g e k e n n z e i c n e t that transport pallets have the same facilities as the containers, so that general cargo can also be loaded in the same way.
