Abstract

The container (1) which has a rectangular contour and vertical side walls (3) can be picked up or set down by a transport vehicle by means of an exchange apparatus, which is known per se, with a tipping bridge, along which a container can be moved. Each container (1) has slide elements (6, 7) in the region of its bottom and, in the region of that part of its upper opening edge which is formed by the side walls, longitudinal guides for a supporting guiding of the slide elements of a container placed on top, and locking elements (9, 10) for fastening to an adjacent container in each case in the stack consisting of several containers. In this case, upper longitudinal edges (8) are constructed as longitudinal guides and the slide elements (6, 7) are constructed as rollers mounted on the container. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Neuerung betrifft einen kastenförmigen, oben offenen Wechselbehälter mit rechteckigem Grundriß und senkrechten Seitenwänden, der mittels eines an sich bekannten Wechsel­gerätes mit Kippbrücke, entlang der ein Behälter bewegbar ist, von einem Transportfahrzeug aufnehmbar oder absetz­bar ist.The innovation relates to a box-shaped, open-top swap body with a rectangular plan and vertical side walls, which can be picked up or removed from a transport vehicle by means of a known swap device with a tipping bridge, along which a container can be moved.

Es ist bekannt, Wechselbehälter mit geeigneten Hebezeugen wie Kisten aufeinanderzustapeln, wodurch sich der Stell­flächenbedarf solcher Behälter verkleinern läßt. Leere Be­hälter werden gewöhnlich mit Lastkraftfahrzeugen, die mit entsprechenden Wechselgeräten ausgerüstet sind, zum Auf­stellungsort transportiert. Derartige Wechselgeräte sind auch unter der Bezeichnung Gleitabsetzkipper bekannt. Die damit ausgerüsteten Kraftfahrzeuge können Wechselbehälter aufnehmen, transportieren und auch wieder absetzen. So­wohl beim Absetzen als auch beim Aufnehmen werden die Be­hälter entlang einer Kippbrücke verschoben, die in Längs­richtung des Kraftfahrzeuges ausgerichtet ist. Die Behäl­ter werden somit über das Heck des Kraftfahrzeuges aufge­nommen bzw. abgesetzt, indem sie in Längsrichtung verscho­ben werden. Die Kippbrücke kann dabei nach Art einer schiefen Ebene auch geneigt werden. Vom Wechselgerät auf­genommene Behälter werden vorn angehoben und auf die Kipp­brücke gezogen bzw. in einer Schiebebewegung auch wieder von der Kippbrücke abgesetzt. Das Auf- und Absetzen der Behälter erfolgt somit dadurch, daß sich Fahrzeug und Be­hälter relativ zueinander längs verschieben.It is known to stack interchangeable containers with suitable lifting devices such as boxes, as a result of which the space required for such containers can be reduced. Empty containers are usually transported to the installation site by trucks, which are equipped with the appropriate exchange devices. Such change devices are also known under the name of skip loader. The vehicles equipped with it can pick up, transport and set down swap bodies. Both when setting down and when picking up the containers are moved along a tilting bridge which is aligned in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle. The containers are thus picked up or set down over the rear of the motor vehicle by being moved in the longitudinal direction. The tilting bridge can also be inclined in the manner of an inclined plane. Containers picked up by the changer are lifted at the front and pulled onto the tipping bridge or, in a pushing motion, set down again from the tipping bridge. The putting on and taking off of the Container thus takes place in that the vehicle and container move longitudinally relative to each other.

Bei einer solchen Längsverschiebung lassen sich die Behälter mit den genannten Wechselgeräten jedoch nicht aufeinander stapeln.With such a longitudinal displacement, however, the containers with the change devices mentioned cannot be stacked on top of one another.

Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Behälter mit ge­raden Wänden so auszubilden, daß sie auch mit üblichen Wechselgeräten aufeinandergestapelt werden können.The innovation is based on the task of designing containers with straight walls in such a way that they can also be stacked on top of one another with conventional changing devices.

Diese Aufgabe ist neuerungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß je­der Behälter im Bereich seines Bodens Gleitelemente auf­weist, daß jeder Behälter im Bereich des Teils seines obe­ren Öffnungsrandes, der von den Seitenwänden gebildet wird, Längsführungen für ein abstützendes Führen der Gleitelemente eines darübergestellten Behälters hat und daß jeder Behälter Verriegelungselemente zur Festsetzung an einem jeweils im Stapel aus mehreren Behältern benach­barten Behälter aufweist.According to the innovation, this object is achieved in that each container has sliding elements in the region of its bottom, that each container has longitudinal guides in the region of the part of its upper opening edge which is formed by the side walls, for supporting guidance of the sliding elements of a container placed above it, and that each container Has locking elements for fixing to a container in the stack of several containers adjacent.

Die Gleitelemente, mit denen jeder Behälter versehen ist, können sich beim Anheben des Behälters am Frontende auf die Längsführungen des im Stapel jeweils nächsttieferen Behälters absenken und dadurch eine Verschiebebewegung des Behälters sowohl beim Stapeln als auch beim Entsta­peln auf diesen Längsführungen ermöglichen. Die Verschie­bebewegung zum Zwecke des Stapelns bewirkt dabei das Wech­selgerät. Zum Zwecke der Transportsicherung werden die aufeinandergestapelten Behälter mit den Verriegelungsele­menten fest miteinander verbunden. Ein Stapel aus zwei aufeinandergesetzten Behältern kann dann zum Beispiel von einem Fahrzeug mit einer Kippbrücke aufgenommen werden, indem der jeweils untere Behälter des Stapels wie üblich auf die Kippbrücke gezogen wird.The sliding elements with which each container is provided can lower when the container is lifted at the front end onto the longitudinal guides of the next lower container in the stack and thereby enable a sliding movement of the container both when stacking and when unstacking on these longitudinal guides. The shifting movement for the purpose of stacking causes the change device. For the purpose of securing the transport, the stacked containers are firmly connected to one another with the locking elements. A stack of two containers placed on top of one another can then be picked up, for example, by a vehicle with a tipping bridge by pulling the respective lower container of the stack onto the tipping bridge as usual.

Die Längsführungen können an den Behälter angesetzte Tei­le sein. Beispielsweise können angebaute bzw. ange­schweißte Profilschienen angebracht werden.The longitudinal guides can be parts attached to the container. For example, attached or welded profile rails can be attached.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung sind die oberen Längsränder des Behälters als Längsführungen ausgebildet, wodurch sich die Anordnung besonderer Längsführungen er­übrigt. Beispielsweise können die mit entsprechenden Ver­stärkungen ausgerüsteten Längsränder eines oben offenen Behälters als Längsführungen Verwendung finden.According to an advantageous development, the upper longitudinal edges of the container are designed as longitudinal guides, which makes the arrangement of special longitudinal guides unnecessary. For example, the longitudinal edges of an open-top container equipped with appropriate reinforcements can be used as longitudinal guides.

Die Gleitelemente können unter die Behälter gesetzte Gleitschuhe oder dergleichen klotzartige Elemente sein. Mit besonderem Vorteil sind die Gleitelemente jedoch als am Behälter gelagerte Rollen ausgebildet, durch welche die Reibung während der Verschiebebewegung beim Stapeln der Behälter sehr weit vermindert wird.The sliding elements can be slide shoes placed under the container or the like, block-like elements. However, the sliding elements are particularly advantageously designed as rollers mounted on the container, by means of which the friction during the displacement movement when stacking the containers is very much reduced.

Jede Rolle ist zweckmäßigerweise eine Profilrolle und ist die Längsführung eine der Profilrolle angepaßte Profil­schiene. Profilrollen haben den Vorteil, daß eine einwand­freie Längsführung während der Verschiebebewegung eines aufzustapelnden Behälters gegeben ist.Each roller is expediently a profile roller and the longitudinal guide is a profile rail adapted to the profile roller. Profile rollers have the advantage that there is a perfect longitudinal guidance during the displacement movement of a container to be stacked.

Eine sichere Abstützung eines aufzustapelnden Behälters am jeweils nächsttieferen Behälter im Stapel wird dadurch erreicht, daß an jeder Behälterseite vorn und hinten je ein Gleitelement angeordnet ist. Jede Seite des Behälters liegt somit über zwei Gleitelementen auf dem jeweils zuge­ordneten Längsrand des im Stapel darunter befindlichen Be­hälters auf. Insgesamt vier Gleitelemente bzw. Rollen an jedem Behälter reichen aus. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, beispielsweise sechs Gleitelemente, auf jeder Seite drei, anzuordnen.A safe support of a container to be stacked on the next lower container in the stack is achieved in that a sliding element is arranged at the front and rear of each container side. Each side of the container is thus on two sliding elements on the associated longitudinal edge of the container located in the stack below. A total of four sliding elements or rollers on each container are sufficient. However, it is also possible to arrange, for example, six sliding elements, three on each side.

Für eine Transportsicherung eines aus aufeinandergesetz­ ten Behältern bestehenden Stapels sind an jedem Behälter Verriegelungselemente vorgesehen, die aus dem Schiebeweg eines jeweils im Stapel oben befindlichen Behälters be­grenzenden Anschlägen bestehen, sowie wenigstens einem be­tätigbaren Spannriegel und einem Beschlag, der mit dem Spannriegel des im Stapel jeweils benachbarten Behälters in Eingriff bringbar ist. Die Anschläge legen die Stapel­position eines auf einen anderen Behälter gesetzten Behäl­ters fest, und mit dem Spannriegel können die Behälter ge­genseitig gesichert werden. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die An­schläge so ausgebildet, daß sie sowohl eine Verschiebebe­wegung aufeinandergesetzter Behälter verhindern als auch gegen Kippbewegungen sichern. Die Anschläge sind im hin­teren Bereich jedes Behälters angeordnet, so daß sie ihre Funktion ausüben, sobald ein zum Zwecke des Aufeinander­stapelns auf einen Behälter aufgeschobener, oberer Behäl­ter seine Endposition erreicht hat, die z.B. gegeben ist, sobald die Rückwände der aufeinandergestapelten Behälter nahezu miteinander fluchten. Da jeder Anschlag als vom Längsrand im Bereich des Behälterendes vorstehender haken­förmiger Klammerfinger ausgebildet ist, der ein auf dem jeweiligen Längsrand abgestütztes Gleitelement des je­weils benachbarten Behälters hakenähnlich seitlich und von oben umfaßt, verhindert der Anschlag die Verschiebebe­wegung und Kippbewegungen eines aufgestapelten Behälters. Selbstverständlich kann ein Anschlag auch in Form einer entsprechenden Tasche ausgebildet sein, in die ein finger­artiger Stift oder dergleichen einrastet, sobald der auf­gestapelte Behälter seine Endposition erreicht hat.For a transport lock one on top of another Th container existing stack locking elements are provided on each container, which consist of the sliding path of a stop located in the stack at the top of the container stops, as well as at least one actuatable clamping bolt and a fitting which can be brought into engagement with the clamping bolt of the container next to the stack. The stops determine the stacking position of a container placed on another container, and the containers can be mutually secured with the clamping bar. The stops are expediently designed in such a way that they both prevent a sliding movement of containers placed on top of one another and secure them against tilting movements. The stops are arranged in the rear area of each container so that they perform their function as soon as an upper container pushed onto a container for the purpose of stacking has reached its end position, which is given, for example, as soon as the rear walls of the stacked containers are almost flush with one another. Since each stop is designed as a hook-shaped clamp finger projecting from the longitudinal edge in the region of the container end, which laterally and from above comprises a sliding element of the adjacent container supported on the respective longitudinal edge in a hook-like manner, the stop prevents the displacement movement and tilting movements of a stacked container. Of course, a stop can also be designed in the form of a corresponding pocket into which a finger-like pin or the like engages as soon as the stacked container has reached its end position.

Jeder Spannriegel ist betätigbar nach Art eines Kniehebel­spanners ausgebildet, der einen am Behälter angelenkten Spannhebel sowie eine am Spannhebel angelenkte, an dem zu­geordneten Beschlag am jeweils benachbarten Behälter an­greifende Spannklinke aufweist. Derartige Spannriegel kön­nen mit Vorteil an der Frontseite des Behälters ange­ bracht werden und können zum Aufeinanderschieben der Be­hälter zum Zwecke des Stapelns aus dem Schiebeweg heraus­geschwenkt werden. Um den aufgestapelten Behälter zu sichern, kann der Spannhebel nach oben geschwenkt werden, bis die Spannklinke in den entsprechenden Beschlag des je­weils oben stehenden Behälters eingreift. Durch Umlegen des Spannhebels nach unten zieht die Spannklinke am Be­schlag, wodurch die beiden aufeinandergestapelten Behäl­ter gegeneinander gezogen und gesichert werden.Each locking bolt can be actuated in the manner of a toggle lever tensioner which has a tensioning lever articulated on the container and a tensioning pawl articulated on the tensioning lever, which acts on the associated fitting on the adjacent container. Such locking bolts can advantageously be on the front of the container are brought and can be pivoted out of the sliding path for pushing the containers together for the purpose of stacking. To secure the stacked container, the clamping lever can be pivoted upwards until the clamping pawl engages in the corresponding fitting of the container above. By turning the clamping lever downwards, the pawl pulls on the fitting, whereby the two containers stacked on top of each other are pulled against each other and secured.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß der Spannriegel gleichzeitig als Beschlagöse ausgebildet ist, in die der Haken eines Wechselgerätes eingreifen kann, um die Behälter mit dem Wechselgerät aufzunehmen, abzusetzen oder zu stapeln.In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the clamping bolt is designed at the same time as a fitting eyelet, in which the hook of an interchangeable device can engage in order to pick up, put down or stack the containers with the interchangeable device.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel, aus dem sich weitere erfinde­rische Merkmale ergeben, ist in der Zeichnung darge­stellt. Die Zeichnung zeigt zwei baugleiche, aufeinander­gestapelte Behälter in einer Seitenansicht.An exemplary embodiment from which further inventive features result is shown in the drawing. The drawing shows two identical, stacked containers in a side view.

Unter dem Boden jedes Behälters sind an jeder Seite als drehbar gelagerte Rollen ausgebildete Gleitelemente 6, 7 bzw. 6′, 7′ angeordnet. Der Behälter 1′ ist mit seinen Gleitelementen 6′ und 7′ auf den oberen Längsrand 8 des Behälters 1 abgestützt. Die hier nicht sichtbare gegen­überliegende Seite des Behälters ist mit gleichartigen Gleitelementen ausgerüstet, so daß der Behälter 1 mit den Gleitelementen auf den Längsrändern der Seitenwände 3 des unten stehenden Behälters 1 steht.Each container 1 or 1 'has the shape of an open top box, with bottom 2 or 2', vertical side walls 3 or 3 ', vertical rear walls 4 or 4' and slightly obliquely outwardly inclined front walls 5 and 5 ' . Under the bottom of each container are formed on each side as rotatably mounted rollers sliding elements 6, 7 and 6 ', 7'. The container 1 'is supported with its sliding elements 6' and 7 'on the upper longitudinal edge 8 of the container 1. The opposite side of the container, which is not visible here, is equipped with similar sliding elements, so that the container 1 with the sliding elements stands on the longitudinal edges of the side walls 3 of the container 1 below.

Zur Bildung des dargestellten Stapels aus den Behältern 1, 1′ wird der Behälter 1′ mit seinen hinteren Gleitele­menten 7′ zunächst auf die Längsränder 8 des unteren Be­hälters im Bereich der vorderen Frontwand aufgesetzt und dann weiter nach hinten geschoben , bis das hintere Gleit­element 7′ an eine den Schiebeweg begrenzenden Anschlag 9 anschlägt. Dieser Anschlag 9 ist ein vom Längsrand 8 des Behälters 1 vorstehender hakenförmiger Klammerfinger, der das Gleitelement 7′ hakenähnlich seitlich und von oben um­faßt. Der Behälter 1 ist durch den Klammerfinger 9 gegen Verschiebebewegungen und unbeabsichtigte Kippbewegungen gesichert. Wie dargestellt, weist der obere Behälter 1′ ebenfalls einen als Klammerfinger ausgebildeten Anschlag 9′ auf.To form the stack shown from the containers 1, 1 ', the container 1' with its rear sliding elements 7 'is first placed on the longitudinal edges 8 of the lower container in the region of the front front wall and then pushed further back until the rear sliding element 7' strikes a stop 9 limiting the sliding path . This stop 9 is a protruding from the longitudinal edge 8 of the container 1 hook-shaped clamp fingers, which includes the sliding element 7 'hook-like laterally and from above. The container 1 is secured by the clamp finger 9 against displacement movements and unintentional tilting movements. As shown, the upper container 1 'also has a stop 9' formed as a clamp finger.

Jede Frontwand des Behälters ist außerdem noch mit einem Spannriegel 10, 10′ ausgerüstet, der nach Art eines Knie­hebelspanners ausgebildet ist und einen am Behälter ange­lenkten Spannhebel 11′ sowie eine am Spannhebel angelenk­te Spannklinke 12 aufweist, die, wie hier dargestellt, an einem Beschlag 13′ des Behälters 1′ angreift. Der Behäl­ter 1 weist einen gleichartigen Beschlag 13 auf.Each front wall of the container is also equipped with a clamping bolt 10, 10 ', which is designed in the manner of a toggle lever tensioner and has a clamping lever 11' articulated on the container and a clamping pawl 12 articulated on the clamping lever, which, as shown here, on a fitting 13 'Of the container 1' attacks. The container 1 has a similar fitting 13.
