Description

Die Erfindung betriftt einen kastenförmigen, oben offenen Wechselbehälter zum Transport von Bauschutt und ähnlichem mit rechteckigem Grundriß, der mittels eines an sich bekannten Wechselgerätes mit Kippbrücke, entlang der ein Behälter bewegbar ist, von einem Transportfahrzeug aufnehmbar oder absetzbar ist und Gleitelemente aufweist sowie im Bereich des Teils seines oberen Öffnungsrandes, der von den Seitenwänden gebildet wird, Längsführungen für ein abstützendes Führen der Gleitelemente eines darübergestellten gleichen Behälters hat.The invention relates to a box-shaped, open-top swap body for transporting rubble and the like with a rectangular outline, which can be picked up or removed from a transport vehicle by means of a known swap body with a tipping bridge, along which a container can be moved, and has sliding elements and in the area of the Part of its upper opening edge, which is formed by the side walls, has longitudinal guides for supporting guidance of the sliding elements of an identical container placed above it.

Ein Wechselbehälter, der vorbezeichneten Gattung ist in der EP-A-0 066 683 angegeben. Der bekannte Wechselbehälter besitzt nach außen geneigte Seitenwände, wodurch leere Wechselbehälter ineinander gestapelt werden können. Dadurch läßt sich der Stellflächenbedarf für leere Behälter verkleinern, wobei jedoch eine Verringerung des Fassungsvermögens eines Behälters in Kauf zu nehmen ist.An interchangeable container of the aforementioned type is specified in EP-A-0 066 683. The known swap body has side walls that are inclined outwards, as a result of which empty swap bodies can be stacked one inside the other. This makes it possible to reduce the space required for empty containers, but a reduction in the capacity of a container can be accepted.

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.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. Recorded by the changer Containers are raised at the front and pulled onto the tipping bridge or, in a pushing motion, set down again from the tipping bridge. The containers are thus put on and taken off in that the vehicle and the container move longitudinally relative to one another.

Bei einer solchen Längsverschiebung lassen sich die bekannten Behälter im Leerzustand mit den genannten Wechselgeräten zwar ineinander stapeln. Im gefüllten Zustand ist ein Aufeinanderstapeln jedoch nicht möglich, da sich der jeweils obere Behälter auf dem Füllgut des unteren abstützen muß, was instabil ist.In the case of such a longitudinal displacement, the known containers can be stacked one inside the other with the interchangeable devices mentioned. In the filled state, however, stacking on top of one another is not possible since the respective upper container has to be supported on the contents of the lower one, which is unstable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Behälter so auszubilden, daß sie auch mit üblichen Wechselgeräten im gefüllten Zustand aufeinandergestapelt werden können.The invention has for its object to design containers so that they can be stacked on top of each other with conventional exchange devices in the filled state.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Seitenwände senkrecht sind und daß jeder Behälter Verriegelungselemente zum Festsetzen an einem jeweils im Stapel aus mehreren Behältern benachbarten Behälter aufweist.This object is achieved in that the side walls are vertical and that each container has locking elements for fixing to a container adjacent to each other in a stack of several containers.

Die Gleitelemente, mit denen jeder Behälter versehen ist, können sich beim Anheben des Behälters am Frontende auf die Längsführung 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 guide 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 sliding 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 reduced to a very great extent.

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 aufeinandergesetzten 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 the other Containers existing stack are provided on each container locking elements, which consist of the sliding path of a stop located in the stack at the top of the container, as well as at least one actuatable clamping bolt and a fitting which can be brought into engagement with the clamping bolt of the respective container in 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 protruding from the longitudinal edge in the region of the container end, which laterally and from above comprises a sliding element of the respective adjacent container supported on the respective longitudinal edge, 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 angebracht 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 clamping bolts can advantageously be attached to the front of the container are 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 lug into which the hook of an exchange device can engage in order to pick up, put down or stack the containers with the exchange 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 embodiment from which further inventive features result is shown in the drawing. The drawing shows two identical, stacked containers in a side view.

Jeder Behälter 1 bzw. 1′ weist die Form eines oben offenen Kastens auf, mit Boden 2 bzw 2′, senkrechten Seitenwänden 3 bzw. 3′, senkrechten Rückwänden 4 bzw. 4′ und leicht schräg nach außen geneigten Frontwänden 5 bzw. 5′. 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 a box open at the top, 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 or 5 ' . Under the bottom of each container trained as rotatably mounted rollers sliding elements 6, 7 and 6 ', 7' are arranged on each side. 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 clamp 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.
