Lift samt automatisk twist lock til lastning og sikring af udstyrsmoduler til et skib Frembringelsen angår en lift samt automatisk twist lock til lastning og sikring af udstyrsmoduler til et skibe.Lift and automatic twist lock for loading and securing equipment modules for a ship The invention relates to a lift and automatic twist lock for loading and securing equipment modules for a ship.
Specifikt vedrører frembringelsen en lift til lastning af udstyrsmoduler i en åbning (mission bay) i skibssiden eller agterenden af et skib, samt en automatisk twist lock, der muliggør en automatisk fastlåsning af modulerne til en monteringsflade på skibet.Specifically, the invention relates to a lift for loading equipment modules in an opening (mission bay) in the ship's side or stern of a ship, as well as an automatic twist lock that enables the modules to be automatically locked to a mounting surface on the ship.
Skibe, der bruges til militære eller industrielle missioner, er dyre investeringer for nationer og virksomheder.Ships used for military or industrial missions are expensive investments for nations and companies.
Skibene kan også være meget specialiserede til specifikke opgaver, dvs. militære konflikter, forskningsprogrammer eller offshore-konstruktion.The ships can also be highly specialized for specific tasks, i.e. military conflicts, research programs or offshore construction.
Flere af sådanne skibe kan være påkrævet samtidigt, men de vil sjældent blivebrugt kontinuerlig og derved være dyre og have et langsomt investeringsafkast.Several such ships may be required simultaneously, but they will rarely be used continuously and thus be expensive and have a slow return on investment.
Således ville det være gavnligt at kunne bruge sådanne skibe til flere formål ved at kunne udveksle udstyret på skibene.Thus, it would be beneficial to be able to use such ships for several purposes by being able to exchange the equipment on the ships.
Det anvendte udstyr er dog tungt udstyr såsom kanoner eller kraner og er ofte placeret i nicher/åbninger (mission bay) langs siden og/eller agterenden af skibene, og processen med at udveksle udstyr er derfor tidskrævende og dyr.However, the equipment used is heavy equipment such as guns or cranes and is often located in niches/openings (mission bay) along the side and/or stern of the ships, and the process of exchanging equipment is therefore time consuming and expensive.
Fjernelse af sådant massivt udstyr fra et skib kræver en skåret åbning i skibets skrog for at løfte det ud.Removing such massive equipment from a ship requires cutting an opening in the ship's hull to lift it out.
Desuden, hver gang nyt udstyr skal monteres på et skib, kræver processen at skære det gamle udstyr fri og svejse det nye udstyr på plads.Also, whenever new equipment is to be installed on a ship, the process requires cutting the old equipment free and welding the new equipment in place.
Denne procedure tager uger eller endda måneder, hvor skibet skal dockes.This procedure takes weeks or even months when the ship has to be docked.
Dermed er enhver udveksling af udstyr en investering i tid og økonomi og vil normalt være en langsigtet ændring.Thus, any exchange of equipment is an investment in time and money and will usually be a long-term change.
Det er således muligt at tilvejebringe et system til hurtig og nem lastning af forskellige udstyrsmoduler på et skib hvorved det gøres muligt at bruge det samme skib til forskellige, men alligevel højt specialiserede formål. | denne henseende er det muligt at tilvejebringe et system til tilslutning af udstyr til en monteringsoverflade på et skib, hvor systemet omfatter en glideramme, der omfatter en øvre og en nedre overflade, et monteringsfodaftryk fastgjort til monteringsoverfladen og tilpasset til udløseligt indgreb med den nedre overflade af gliderammen, der indeholder ovennævnte udstyr og som derved udfør et udstyrsmodul, hvorved udstyrsmodulerne er indirekte forbundet med monteringsoverfladen via gliderammen.It is thus possible to provide a system for quick and easy loading of different equipment modules on a ship, making it possible to use the same ship for different, yet highly specialized purposes. | in this regard, it is possible to provide a system for connecting equipment to a mounting surface on a ship, the system comprising a sliding frame comprising an upper and a lower surface, a mounting footprint attached to the mounting surface and adapted for releasable engagement with the lower surface of the sliding frame, which contains the above-mentioned equipment and which thereby form an equipment module, whereby the equipment modules are indirectly connected to the mounting surface via the sliding frame.
Disse moduler er grundet det ekstremt tunge udstyr svære at montere i en åbning i skibssiden eller agterenden, og da modulerne skal føres sidevers ind gennem åbningen er det således ikke muligt at bruge en konventionel havnekran til formålet, som udelukkende kan laste vertikalt.Due to the extremely heavy equipment, these modules are difficult to mount in an opening in the ship's side or stern, and since the modules have to be fed sideways through the opening, it is thus not possible to use a conventional harbor crane for the purpose, which can only load vertically.
Det er således et formål med frembringelsen at tilvejebringe en lift, der overkommer ovennævnte problemstilling ved at løfte moduler på størrelse med 20 of 40 fods container fra havnekajen og sidevers ind i en åbning i skibet, såsom en åbning i siden eller agterenden på relativt kort tid, svarende til mindre en 4 timer.It is thus an aim of the invention to provide a lift that overcomes the above-mentioned problem by lifting modules the size of a 20 or 40-foot container from the harbor quay and sideways into an opening in the ship, such as an opening in the side or stern, in a relatively short time , corresponding to less than 4 hours.
I overensstemmelse med frembringelsen er der ved et første aspekt tilvejebragt en lift som vist i figurerne 4-16, 20-21.In accordance with the invention, a lift is provided in a first aspect as shown in figures 4-16, 20-21.
DK 202100044 U3 Det er derudover et formål med frembringelsen at tilvejebringe en automatisk twist lock, der automatisk kan fastlåse modulenheden til skibets monteringsflade.DK 202100044 U3 It is also a purpose of the invention to provide an automatic twist lock that can automatically lock the module unit to the ship's mounting surface.
Modulenhederne er fortrinsvis sammensat af flere enkelte moduler hvor modulenheden fortrinsvis skal fastlåses til monteringsfladen via. flere låse, der for personel ikke er tilgængelige eller i bedste fald svært tilgængelige.The module units are preferably composed of several individual modules where the module unit must preferably be locked to the mounting surface via. several locks that are not accessible to personnel or, at best, difficult to access.
Såfremt modulenhederne skal fastlåses manuelt, vil dette involvere et stort tidsfordriv, samt være farefuldt arbejde, da en ukorrekt montering af låsene kan resultere i at modulenheden uhensigtsmæssigt kan flytte sig på monteringsfladen.If the module units have to be locked manually, this will involve a great deal of time, as well as being dangerous work, as an incorrect installation of the locks can result in the module unit being able to move inappropriately on the mounting surface.
Det er derfor et formål med frembringelsen at tilvejebringe en automatisk twist lock, der automatisk og effektivt fastlåser modulenhederne til skibet i en korrekt position. | overensstemmelse med frembringelsen er der således i et andet aspekt, tilvejebragt en twist lock som vist i figurerne 17-19. Frembringelsen belyses nu yderligere ved hjælp af ikke begrænsende eksempler.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an automatic twist lock that automatically and effectively locks the module units to the ship in a correct position. | Thus, in accordance with the invention, in another aspect, a twist lock is provided as shown in figures 17-19. The invention is now further elucidated by means of non-limiting examples.

Det vil imidlertid være klart, at forskellige modifikationer og ændringer kan foretages deri, uden at afvige fra den bredere ånd og område for frembringelsen, som angivet i de vedhæftede krav.However, it will be clear that various modifications and changes may be made therein without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
Fig. 1 viser et perspektiv af et skib 12. Skibet er vist omfattende to åbninger 14 i skibssiden, men skibet 12 vil kunne omfatte et vilkårligt antal åbninger 14 arrangeret i skibssiden og/eller agter enden.Fig. 1 shows a perspective of a ship 12. The ship is shown comprising two openings 14 in the ship's side, but the ship 12 could include any number of openings 14 arranged in the ship's side and/or aft end.
Åbningerne er udformet soledes at de kan optage mindst ét modul omfattende vilkårligt udstyr, hvor moduler kan have størrelse af en eller flere 20 og/eller 40 fodscontainere, placeret ved siden og oven på hinanden.The openings are designed so that they can accommodate at least one module comprising arbitrary equipment, where modules can have the size of one or more 20 and/or 40 foot containers, placed next to and on top of each other.
Det er således muligt at arrangere et modul i en åbning hvor modulet kan have en størrelse af fire 40 fods containerere, placeret to og to oven på hinanden.It is thus possible to arrange a module in an opening where the module can have the size of four 40-foot containers, placed two and two on top of each other.
Fig. 2 viser et perspektiv af en åbning/mission bay 14 i et skib 12. Åbningen 14 omfatter en monteringsflade 18 der er forsynet med et monteringsfodaftryk 16 der svarer til en glideramme der udgør munden af et modul.Fig. 2 shows a perspective of an opening/mission bay 14 in a ship 12. The opening 14 comprises a mounting surface 18 which is provided with a mounting footprint 16 which corresponds to a sliding frame which forms the mouth of a module.
Monteringsfodaftrykket 16 han være monteret til eller integreret til monteringsfladen 18. Monteringsfladen 18 kan omfatte låseelementer udformet som en automatisk twist locks 50 (se figur 17-19), det som minimum låser mindst et af modulets hjørner til monteringsfodaftrykket 16 og derved til monteringsfladen 16. Fig. 3 viser et perspektiv af en modulenhed 20 der består af 5 enkelte moduler der tilsammen udgør modulenheden.The mounting footprint 16 may be mounted to or integrated into the mounting surface 18. The mounting surface 18 may include locking elements designed as an automatic twist locks 50 (see figures 17-19), which at least locks at least one of the module's corners to the mounting footprint 16 and thereby to the mounting surface 16. Fig. 3 shows a perspective of a module unit 20 which consists of 5 individual modules which together make up the module unit.
De fem moduler er udformet som bur (cages), hvor modulenheden omfatter to øvre moduler der hver har en størrelse svarende til en 40 fods container, samt tre nedre moduler, hvor to af modulerne hver har en størrelse på svarende til en 20 fods container, og det tredje modul har en størrelse svarende til en 40 fods container.The five modules are designed as cages, where the module unit comprises two upper modules each having a size corresponding to a 40-foot container, as well as three lower modules, where two of the modules each have a size corresponding to a 20-foot container, and the third module has a size equivalent to a 40-foot container.
Hvert modul kan omfatte forskelligt udstyr, og modulenheden han konfigureres til at omfatte forskellige kombinationer af moduler med størrelser svarende til 20 eller 40 fods container.Each module can include different equipment and the module unit can be configured to include different combinations of modules with sizes corresponding to 20 or 40 foot containers.
Modulenheden 20 kan ligeledes anvendes ifm. moduler af andre størrelser end svarende til 20 eller 40 fods containere.The module unit 20 can also be used in conjunction with modules of other sizes than corresponding to 20 or 40 foot containers.
Modulenheden 20 i figur 3 er placeret uden for åbningen 14 og således endnu ikke monteret til monteringsfodaftrykket 16 i monteringsfladen 18. Fig. 4 viser et perspektiv af en lift 10 til lastning af en modulenhed 20 eller enkelte moduler sidevers ind i åbningen 14 i siden eller agterenden af skibet.The module unit 20 in Figure 3 is located outside the opening 14 and thus not yet mounted to the mounting footprint 16 in the mounting surface 18. Fig. 4 shows a perspective of a lift 10 for loading a module unit 20 or individual modules laterally into the opening 14 in the side or stern of the ship.
Liften omfatter et antal roterbare hjul der hver kan dreje omkring en vertikal akse, således at liften kan manøvreres i alle retninger.The lift includes a number of rotatable wheels, each of which can turn around a vertical axis, so that the lift can be maneuvered in all directions.
Fortrinsvis omfatter liften 10 2 hjul i hver ende men kan konfigureres med flere hjul.Preferably, the lift 10 includes 2 wheels at each end, but can be configured with more wheels.
Liften 10 omfatter en teleskopisk bundramme 22 samt to teleskopiske enderammer 24. Den teleskopiske bundramme omfatter teleskopiske bærebjælker 22, der hver imod hver enderammeThe lift 10 comprises a telescopic bottom frame 22 and two telescopic end frames 24. The telescopic bottom frame comprises telescopic support beams 22, each against each end frame
DK 202100044 U3 omfatter et teleskopisk udskudsrør 22', monteret til enderammerne 24, således at når udskudsrørene 22' forskydes ud af bærebjælkerne, vil liftens samlede bredde forøges tilsvarende. Herved kan liftens bredde tilpasses bredden af den modulenhed der skal løftes. Udskudsrørene 22' er fortrinsvis hydraulisk aktiveret men kan alternativt være elektrisk eller mekanisk. Liften omfatter en løftemekanisme (ikke vist) som kan løfte bærebjælkerne 22 og enderammerne 24 ift. hjulene således at løftemekanismen er i en løftet position når liften manøvrerer via hjulene, og i en sænket position, når enderammerne 24 er sænket til anlæg imod grundniveau (kajniveau) når modulenheden 20 lastes ind gennem åbningen 14.DK 202100044 U3 includes a telescopic extension tube 22', mounted to the end frames 24, so that when the extension tubes 22' are moved out of the support beams, the overall width of the lift will be increased accordingly. In this way, the width of the lift can be adapted to the width of the module unit to be lifted. The extension tubes 22' are preferably hydraulically activated but can alternatively be electrically or mechanically. The lift comprises a lifting mechanism (not shown) which can lift the support beams 22 and the end frames 24 relative to the wheels so that the lifting mechanism is in a raised position when the lift is maneuvering via the wheels, and in a lowered position when the end frames 24 are lowered to abutment against ground level (quay level ) when the module unit 20 is loaded through the opening 14.
Hver teleskopisk enderamme 24 omfatter fortrinsvis to teleskopiske søjler 24” der hver er forskydelig i en vertikal retning, således, at når søjlerne skydes ud vil bærebjælkerne 22 omfattende modulenheden 22 løfte sig i vertikal retning til et ønsket niveau, svarende til højden af åbningen 14 i skibet 12, svarende til op til ca. 6 meter over kajniveau eller mere. De teleskopiske søjler 24' er fortrinsvis teleskopisk hydrauliske man kan alternative være elektriske eller mekaniske.Each telescopic end frame 24 preferably comprises two telescopic columns 24", each of which is displaceable in a vertical direction, so that when the columns are pushed out, the support beams 22 comprising the module unit 22 will lift in a vertical direction to a desired level, corresponding to the height of the opening 14 in the ship 12, corresponding to up to approx. 6 meters above quay level or more. The telescopic columns 24' are preferably telescopically hydraulic, they can alternatively be electrical or mechanical.
Bundrammen omfatter et antal udskydelige bærearme 26, hvorpå modulenheden kan placeres for at blive løftet i niveau med åbningen 14 og forskudt sidevers ind gennem åbningen 14 i skibet 12. De forskydelige bærearme omfatter fortrinsvis en bundskinne, der er fast forbundet med og tværs over bærebjælkerne 22, samt en mellemliggende skinne der omfatter et første sæt nedre hjul der kan rulle på bundskinnen samt et andet sæt over hjul, hvorpå en topskinne, hvor modulenheden 20 er placeret på kan rulle på. Mellem bundskinnen og den mellemliggende skinne er der arrangeret en drivmekanisme som kan drive en forskydning mellem bundskinnen og den mellemliggende skinne, og mellem den mellemliggende skinne og topskinnen er der arrangeret en anden drivmekanisme der kan drive en forskydning af topskinnen ift. den mellemliggende skinne. Ved aktivering af de to drivmekanismer vil modulenheden således kunne forskydes sidevers ift. liften og derved kunne lastes sidevers ind gennem åbningen 14 i skiber 12 Fig. 5 viser et perspektiv af en lift 10 med en modulenhed 20. Modulenheden 20 er vist løftet ift. bærearmene 26 men skal forstås som værende placeret oven på bærearmene 26. Hjulenes løftemekanisme er vist i en løftet position, således at liften kan manøvrere runde på kajen.The bottom frame comprises a number of extendable support arms 26, on which the module unit can be placed to be lifted level with the opening 14 and displaced laterally through the opening 14 into the ship 12. The extendable support arms preferably comprise a bottom rail which is fixedly connected to and across the support beams 22 , and an intermediate rail that includes a first set of lower wheels that can roll on the bottom rail and a second set of above wheels, on which a top rail, on which the module unit 20 is placed, can roll on. Between the bottom rail and the intermediate rail, a drive mechanism is arranged which can drive a displacement between the bottom rail and the intermediate rail, and between the intermediate rail and the top rail another drive mechanism is arranged which can drive a displacement of the top rail relative to the intermediate rail. When the two drive mechanisms are activated, the module unit will thus be able to be displaced laterally in relation to the lift and thereby be loaded laterally through the opening 14 in ships 12 Fig. 5 shows a perspective of a lift 10 with a module unit 20. The module unit 20 is shown lifted in relation to the support arms 26 but must be understood as being placed on top of the support arms 26. The lifting mechanism of the wheels is shown in a raised position so that the lift can maneuver round the quay .
Fig. 6 viser et perspektiv at enden af en lift 10, hvor det er vist med pile hvorledes hjulene kan roteres omkring en vertikal akse, således at liften præcist kan positioneres ift. skibet, og enderammerne 24 samt bærebjælkerne 22 løftes i vertikal retning. Figur 6 viser yderligere en guide support 30 der fortrinsvis er monteret på liften ved hvert hjørne af modulenheden, således at når modulenheden via f.eks. en krav løftes ned på liften 20 vil guide supporten hjælpe med at positionere modulenheden 20 korrekt ift. bærearmene 26.Fig. 6 shows a perspective of the end of a lift 10, where it is shown with arrows how the wheels can be rotated around a vertical axis, so that the lift can be precisely positioned in relation to the ship, and the end frames 24 and the support beams 22 are lifted in a vertical direction. Figure 6 further shows a guide support 30 which is preferably mounted on the lift at each corner of the module unit, so that when the module unit via e.g. a claim is lifted onto the lift 20, the guide support will help to position the module unit 20 correctly in relation to the support arms 26.
Fig. 7 ser et perspektiv at enden af liften 10, hvor der er illustreret hvorledes udskudsrørene forskyde ud fra bærebjælkerne 22. Når liften 10 er placeret korrekt ift. skibet 12, og hjulenes løftemekanisme er i en sænket position, kan de teleskopiske bærebjælker vha. positioneringssensorer, såsom afstandskameraer der måler afstanden mellem skibet 12 og liften og/eller reference systemer såsom et referencekamera, automatisk justere forskydningen af udskudsrørene ift. en evt. bevægelse af skibet pga. bølgegang.Fig. 7 shows a perspective of the end of the lift 10, where it is illustrated how the extension tubes move out from the support beams 22. When the lift 10 is positioned correctly in relation to the ship 12, and the lifting mechanism of the wheels is in a lowered position, the telescopic support beams can, using positioning sensors, such as distance cameras that measure the distance between the ship 12 and the lift and/or reference systems such as a reference camera, automatically adjust the displacement of the extension tubes in relation to a possible movement of the ship due to waves.
Fig. 8 viser et perspektiv af en guide support 30 hvor det fremgår at toppen af guide supporten 30 er konisk udformet til optagelse i en åbning i et modulhjørne 32.Fig. 8 shows a perspective of a guide support 30 where it appears that the top of the guide support 30 is conically designed to be received in an opening in a module corner 32.
DK 202100044 U3 Fig. 9 og 10 viser et perspektiv af liften 10 med en modulenhed 20 hvor liften 10 er ved at blive positioneret korrekt ift. skibet, hvorover åbningen 14 er lokaliseret. For at kunne placere liften 10 i en korrekt position under den ønskede åbning 14, er skibet 12 forsynet med et antal positioneringslinjer 36 som reference for liftens positioneringssystem. Liften 10 er forsynet med et referencesystem der kan omfatte referancecamera der via f.eks. en reference linje 38 kan mole den præcise position af liften 10 ift. positioneringslinjen 36 og derved den ovenforliggende åbningDK 202100044 U3 Fig. 9 and 10 show a perspective of the lift 10 with a module unit 20 where the lift 10 is being positioned correctly in relation to the ship above which the opening 14 is located. In order to be able to place the lift 10 in a correct position under the desired opening 14, the ship 12 is provided with a number of positioning lines 36 as a reference for the lift's positioning system. The lift 10 is provided with a reference system that can include a reference camera that via e.g. a reference line 38 can mark the exact position of the lift 10 in relation to the positioning line 36 and thereby the opening above
14. Positioneringssystemet omfatter yderligere en afstandsmåler, såsom en afstandsmåler i hver side af liften, der måler afstanden af liften ind til skibets skrog. Såfremt afstanden af en eller begge sider ikke er korrekt, og eller, liften ikke har den korrekte placering ift. positioneringslinjen kan liften via. hjulene manøvreres til den korrekte position. Manøvreringen af liften kan foregå automatisk vha. et kontrolsystem, eller manuelt via en operatør. Figur 9 viser at liften ikke er korrekt placeret ift. positioneringslinjen 36, hvorimod figur 10 viser en korrekt placering. Fig. 11 viser et endeperspektiv af liften 10 med en modulenhed 20, hvor liften omfatter to afstandsmålere 34, der anvendes til korrekt positionering af liften 10 ift. skiber 12. Såfremt liften ikke har den korrekte afstand, kan liften manøvreres til en korrekt position. Figur 12 viser et perspektiv af liften 10 med en modulenhed 20. Figuren viser hvorledes liften positionerer de udskydelige bærearme ift. åbningen 14. Skibet 12 omfatter fortrinsvis en højde reference markør 40 der via. cameraet registres således at den korrekte højde af bærearmene opnås ift. åbningen. Figur 13 viser i perspektiv, sammenkoblingen mellem bærearme/bjælker 26 og skibet 12. Når liften er placeret korrekt ift. skibet, og bærearmene er korrekt løftet ift. åbningen 14, vil drivmekanismen mellem bærearmenes 26 bundskinne og mellemliggende skinne aktiveres, hvorved den mellemliggende skinne og topskinne forskydes sidevers ind mod skibets 12 åbning. Åbningen 14 omfatter en låsemekanisme der kan fastlåse den mellemliggende skinne ift. skibets 12 åbning 14. Låsemekanismen er fortrinsvis udformet som et antal lommer 44 der er udformet således at de kan modtage et udragende element fra den den mellemliggende skinne, hvor det udragende element fortrinsvis er udformet som en næse. Når bærearmene 26 har den korrekte løftet højde og de mellemliggende skinner er forskudt ind mod skibet således at de udragende elementer er placeret over lommerne vil liftene via. de teleskopiske søjler 24' sænke bærearmene 26 således af de udragende elementer 46 går i indgreb med lommerne 44, hvorved de mellemliggende bærearme er stationært forbundet ift. skibet. Figur 14 viser et endeperspektiv af liften med en modulenhed 10 hvor de mellemliggende bærearme sænkes ned således at de udragende elementer 46 går i indgreb med lommerne. Derefter vil der fortrinsvis ske en frakobling af drivenheden mellem bundskinnerne og de mellemliggende skinner, således, at hvis skibet 12 bevæger sig en smule til og fra kajen pga. søgang, vil den mellemliggende skinne sammen med topskinnen der omfatter modulenheden bevare en stationær position ift. Figur 15 viser et forstørret billede af liften 10 med en modulenhed 20, hvor de teleskopiske bærebjælker automatisk vha. referencesystemet automatisk justerer bærearmenes 26 langsgående position ift. skibet, såfremt skibet pga. bølgegang skulle bevæge sig en smule frem eller tilbage.14. The positioning system further comprises a distance meter, such as a distance meter on each side of the lift, which measures the distance of the lift into the ship's hull. If the distance of one or both sides is not correct, and or, the lift does not have the correct position in relation to the positioning line, the lift can via. the wheels are maneuvered to the correct position. Maneuvering the lift can take place automatically using a control system, or manually via an operator. Figure 9 shows that the lift is not correctly positioned in relation to the positioning line 36, whereas Figure 10 shows a correct position. Fig. 11 shows an end perspective of the lift 10 with a module unit 20, where the lift includes two distance meters 34, which are used for correct positioning of the lift 10 in relation to ships 12. If the lift does not have the correct distance, the lift can be maneuvered to a correct position. Figure 12 shows a perspective of the lift 10 with a module unit 20. The figure shows how the lift positions the extendable support arms in relation to the opening 14. The ship 12 preferably includes a height reference marker 40 there via. the camera is registered so that the correct height of the support arms is achieved in relation to the opening. Figure 13 shows, in perspective, the connection between support arms/beams 26 and the ship 12. When the lift is positioned correctly in relation to the ship, and the support arms are correctly lifted in relation to the opening 14, the drive mechanism between the bottom rail of the support arms 26 and the intermediate rail will be activated, whereby the intermediate rail and the top rail is shifted laterally towards the ship's 12 opening. The opening 14 comprises a locking mechanism which can lock the intermediate rail in relation to the opening 14 of the ship 12. The locking mechanism is preferably designed as a number of pockets 44 which are designed so that they can receive a projecting element from the intermediate rail, where the projecting element is preferably shaped like a nose. When the support arms 26 have the correct lifted height and the intermediate rails are offset towards the ship so that the projecting elements are placed above the pockets, the lifts will via. the telescopic columns 24' lower the support arms 26 so that the projecting elements 46 engage with the pockets 44, whereby the intermediate support arms are stationary connected in relation to the ship. Figure 14 shows an end perspective of the lift with a module unit 10 where the intermediate support arms are lowered so that the projecting elements 46 engage with the pockets. Then there will preferably be a disconnection of the drive unit between the bottom rails and the intermediate rails, so that if the ship 12 moves slightly to and from the quay due to seagoing, the intermediate rail together with the top rail comprising the module unit will maintain a stationary position in relation to Figure 15 shows an enlarged view of the lift 10 with a module unit 20, where the telescopic support beams automatically, using the reference system, automatically adjust the longitudinal position of the support arms 26 in relation to the ship, if the ship should move slightly forward or backward due to waves.
DK 202100044 U3 Figur 16 viser en modulenhed 20 der lastes i ind gennem åbningen 14 i et skib.DK 202100044 U3 Figure 16 shows a module unit 20 which is loaded in through the opening 14 in a ship.
Bærearmenes 26 mellemliggende skinner er i korrekt indgreb med lommerne 44 i åbningen 14, og aktiveringsmekanismen mellem de mellemliggende skinner og topskinnerne aktiveres således at topskinnerne forskydes ind gennem åbningen 14 hvorved modulenheden forskydes sidevers ind gennem åbningen 14 og ind i skibet.The intermediate rails of the support arms 26 are in correct engagement with the pockets 44 in the opening 14, and the activation mechanism between the intermediate rails and the top rails is activated so that the top rails are shifted in through the opening 14 whereby the module unit is shifted laterally through the opening 14 and into the ship.
Figur 17-19 viser sammenkoblingen mellem et modulhjørne 32 og en twist lock 50 der er monteret i skibets 12 monteringsfodaftryk 16. Når modulenheden 20 er ført korrekt ind i skibets 12 åbning, vil et antal automatiske højdejusterbare twist locks forskydes fra monteringsfladen og op mod modulenhedens 20 glideramme for indgreb med åbninger i gliderammen.Figures 17-19 show the connection between a module corner 32 and a twist lock 50 that is mounted in the ship's 12 mounting footprint 16. When the module unit 20 has been correctly inserted into the ship's 12 opening, a number of automatic height-adjustable twist locks will be displaced from the mounting surface and up against the module unit's 20 sliding frame for engagement with openings in the sliding frame.
Fortrinsvis omfatter skibet en antal højdeforskydelige twist locks 50 svarende til antal hjørner af det maksimale antal moduler der kan placeres i nederste niveau af modulenheden.Preferably, the ship includes a number of height-adjustable twist locks 50 corresponding to the number of corners of the maximum number of modules that can be placed in the lower level of the module unit.
Åbningen kan således omfatter 16 automatiske twist locks 50, således at modulenheden 20 kan bestå at en enkelt modul, f.eks. svarende til størrelsen af en 20 fods container, eller f.eks. en modulenhed 20 der har fire moduler med størrelser svarende til fire 20 fods containere i nederste niveau.The opening can thus include 16 automatic twist locks 50, so that the module unit 20 can consist of a single module, e.g. corresponding to the size of a 20-foot container, or e.g. a modular unit 20 having four modules with sizes corresponding to four 20 foot containers in the lower level.
Antallet at automatiske twist locks 50 er tilpasset således, at en vilkårlig konfiguration af modulenheden kan fastlåses korrekt til monteringsfodaftrykket 16. Såfremt modulenheden 20 ikke kræver det maksimale twist locks 50 aktiveres vil kun de nødvendige twist locks til at gå i indgreb med modulenhedens 20 glideramme.The number of automatic twist locks 50 is adapted so that an arbitrary configuration of the module unit can be locked correctly to the mounting footprint 16. If the module unit 20 does not require the maximum twist locks 50 will be activated, only the necessary twist locks to engage with the module unit 20 sliding frame.
Når modulenheden 20 er forskudt ind i skibets 12 åbning 14 til den korrekte ønskede position vil det nødvendige antal twist locks 50 forskyde sig vertikal opad og gå i indgreb med modulenhedens hjørne 32, der fortrinsvis er udformet tilsvarende et standard ISO containerhjørne.When the module unit 20 has been moved into the opening 14 of the ship 12 to the correct desired position, the necessary number of twist locks 50 will shift vertically upwards and engage with the corner 32 of the module unit, which is preferably designed corresponding to a standard ISO container corner.
Når twist locksne 50 er korrekt ført op i modulhjørnerne 32 vil den øverste konustop 52 på twist locksne 50 rotere således at modulhjørnerne 32 fikseres ift. twist locksne 50. Derefter forskydes de aktiverede twist locks en yderligere forudbestem afstand i vertikal retning, hvorved modulenheden 20 løftes fri fra bærearmene 26, som derved kan trækkes tilbage og hvorved modulenheden er frigjort fra liften.When the twist locks 50 have been correctly guided up into the module corners 32, the upper cone top 52 of the twist locks 50 will rotate so that the module corners 32 are fixed in relation to the twist locks 50. The activated twist locks are then moved a further predetermined distance in the vertical direction, whereby the module unit 20 is lifted free from the support arms 26, which can thereby be withdrawn and whereby the module unit is released from the lift.
Derefter kan modulenheden vha. de automatiske twist locks 50 sænkes ved mod monteringsflades.Then, using the automatic twist locks 50, the module unit can be lowered against the mounting surface.
Figur 20 viser bærearme/bjælker 26 trækkes ud under modulenheden 20, hvorved modulenheden 20 er frigjort fra liften.Figure 20 shows support arms/beams 26 being pulled out from under the module unit 20, whereby the module unit 20 is released from the lift.
Figur 21 viser en modulenhed 20 der er endeligt lastet i en åbning 10 i skibet 12.Figure 21 shows a module unit 20 that is finally loaded into an opening 10 in the ship 12.
