Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transport- und/oder Handhabungsvorrichtung für Container o.dgl. mit mehreren Kupplungsklauen, vorzugsweise etwa dreieckigen Kupplungsklauen mit nach oben weisenden Spitzen, von denen jede eine im wesentlichen ebene Rückseite und eine konvex sphärisch gewölbte Vorderseite aufweist, die im Querschnitt an den durch die Schenkel des Dreiecks gebildeten Seiten spitzwinkelig mit der Rückseite zusammenläuft, und mit etwa zangenartig mit den Kupplungsklauen zusammenwirkenden Verriegelungsstücken.The invention relates to a transport and / or handling device for containers or the like. with a plurality of coupling claws, preferably approximately triangular coupling claws with points pointing upwards, each of which has a substantially flat rear side and a convex spherically curved front side which cross-sectionally converges with the rear side at the sides formed by the legs of the triangle, and with about pliers like locking pieces interacting with the coupling claws.

Hubkippvorrichtungen mit Kupplungsklauen der bevorzugten Art sind beispielsweise aus der EP-OS 235 784, der DE-GMS 85 19 096 sowie der DE-OS 36 39 861 bekannt. Diese Kupplungsklauen wirken mit etwa komplementären Aufnahmetaschen von Müllbehältern zusammen und haben sich als selbstzentrierende Aufnahmeorgane bewährt.Lifting and tipping devices with coupling claws of the preferred type are known, for example, from EP-OS 235 784, DE-GMS 85 19 096 and DE-OS 36 39 861. These coupling claws interact with approximately complementary receiving pockets for refuse containers and have proven themselves as self-centering receiving members.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Transport- und/oder Handhabungsvorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, mit der sich Container aller Art, insbesondere Großcontainer, einfach handhaben, verladen und transportieren lassen.The object of the invention is to provide a transport and / or handling device of the type specified at the outset with which containers of all types, in particular large containers, can be easily handled, loaded and transported.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Transport- und/oder Handhabungsvorrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gelöst, daß zwei Kupplungsklauen an einem Querträger eines Hubschlittens angeordnet sind daß der die Kupplungsklaue tragende Querträger in vertikalen Führungen des Hubschlittens längsverschieblich geführt und durch eine Druckmittel-Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit verfahrbar ist und daß der Hubschlitten in seinem unteren Bereich unterhalb des Querträgers mit mindestens einer unter den Boden des Containers greifenden Gabel oder Platte versehen ist und in Führungen der vertikalen Träger des Hubgerüstes o.dgl. durch einen Antrieb, beispielsweise eine hydraulische Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit, verfahrbar ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung läßt sich in einfacher Weise mit einem Container dadurch kuppeln, daß die Gabeln oder die Stützplatte unter den Boden des Containers eingefahren und anschließend der Querträger in der Weise angehoben wird, daß die Kupplungsklaue in kuppelnden Eingriff mit der komplementären Aufnahmetasche des Containers kommt und sich die Gabeln oder Stützplatte stützend unter den Boden des Containers legen.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a transport and / or handling device of the generic type in that two coupling claws are arranged on a crossmember of a lifting carriage, that the crossmember carrying the coupling claw is guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner in vertical guides of the lifting carriage and by a pressure medium piston-cylinder. Unit is movable and that the lifting carriage is provided in its lower region below the cross member with at least one fork or plate reaching under the bottom of the container and the like in guides of the vertical support of the mast. can be moved by a drive, for example a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit. The device according to the invention can be coupled in a simple manner to a container by retracting the forks or the support plate under the bottom of the container and then lifting the cross member in such a way that the coupling claw comes into coupling engagement with the complementary receiving pocket of the container and the forks or support plate lie under the bottom of the container for support.

Bei dem Hubgerüst kann es sich um das Hubgerüst eines Gabelstaplers oder eines anderen Flurfördermittels handeln. Bei den Gabelstaplern oder Flurfördermitteln kann es sich um Front- oder seitenladende Stapelfahrzeuge handeln. Mit diesen lassen sich beispielsweise Container auch in Containerregale einsetzen. Das Hubgerüst kann beispielsweise an einem Containerumschlagplatz auch fest installiert sein. Ferner kann das Hubgerüst auch schwenkbar angeordnet sein, so daß sich der an den Hubschlitten angekuppelte Container auch zum Zwecke seines Entleerens verkippen läßt.The mast can be the mast of a forklift or other industrial truck. The forklift trucks or industrial trucks can be front or side loading stacking vehicles. With these, for example, containers can also be used in container shelves. The mast can also be permanently installed, for example, at a container handling center. Furthermore, the mast can also be arranged pivotably so that the container coupled to the lifting carriage can also be tilted for the purpose of emptying it.

Ein Container, der sich durch die erfindungsgemäße Transport und Handhabungsvorrichtung transportieren und handhaben läßt, ist mit zwei auf einer Seite in Abstand voneinander unterhalb des ausgesteiften oberen Behälterrandes angeordneten, zu den Kupplungsklauen komplementären und nach unten offenen Aufnahmetaschen versehen und zeichnet sich erfindungsgemäß dadurch aus, daß unterhalb seines Bodens mindestens ein zu einer Behälterseite parallel verlaufender Träger befestigt ist, dessen Abstand zu der Behälterseitenwand der Länge der Gabel oder Platte entspricht. Ein in dieser Weise angepaßter Container läßt sich in besonders einfacher Weise an die erfindungsgemäße Transport- und/oder Handhabungsvorrichtung dadurch ankuppeln, daß die Gabeln oder die Stützplatte unter den Container eingeschoben werden, bis sie gegen den Träger stoßen, und daß anschließend in dem Schlitten der Querträger mit den Kupplungsklauen in der Weise ausgefahren wird, daß die Kupplungsklauen in die Aufnahmetaschen eingreifen.A container that can be transported and handled by the transport and handling device according to the invention is provided with two receiving pockets arranged on one side at a distance from each other below the stiffened upper edge of the container, complementary to the coupling claws and open at the bottom, and is characterized according to the invention in that at least one carrier running parallel to one side of the container is attached below its bottom, the distance of which from the container side wall corresponds to the length of the fork or plate. A container adapted in this way can be coupled in a particularly simple manner to the transport and / or handling device according to the invention in that the forks or the support plate are inserted under the container until they abut the carrier, and then in the carriage of the Cross member is extended with the clutch claws in such a way that the clutch claws engage in the receiving pockets.

Zweckmäßigerweise gehen die Gabelzinken oder Stützplatte unter einer Krümmung, deren Kontur in etwa dem eine Seitenwand mit dem Boden des Containers verbindenden Bogenbereich entspricht, in einen Fußbereich über. Diese Anpassung der Gabeln oder Platte an die Form des Containers begünstigt die formschlüssige Ankupplung des Containers an die Transport- und/oder Handhabungsvorrichtung.The fork tines or support plate expediently merge into a foot region under a curvature, the contour of which roughly corresponds to the curved region connecting a side wall to the bottom of the container. This adaptation of the forks or plate to the shape of the container favors the form-fitting coupling of the container to the transport and / or handling device.

Nach einer anderen Ausführungsform wird die Aufgabe bei einer Transport- und/oder Handhabungsvorrichtung für Container o.dgl. mit mehreren Kupplungsklauen, vorzugsweise etwa dreieckigen Kupplungsklauen, von denen jede eine im wesentlichen ebene Rückseite und eine konvex spärisch gewölbte Vorderseite aufweist, die im Querschnitt an dem durch die Schenkel des Dreiecks gebildeten Seiten spitzwinkelig mit der Rückseite zusammeläuft, erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ein Tragrahmen an gegenüberliegenden Holmen mit mindestens je einem durch einen Hebel versehen ist, der an seinem unteren freien Ende die Kupplungsklaue trägt. Eine derartige Transport- und/oder Handhabungsvorrichtung läßt sich beispielsweise als Ladegeschirr für sogenannte Spreader verwenden wie sie beispielsweise aus der DE-OS 33 15 889 bekannt sind. Der Tragrahmen, der zweckmäßigerweise in seinen vier Ecken mit Ösen zum Anhängen von Tragseilen oder Tragketten versehen ist, kann auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten mit je einem oder je zwei Kupplungsklauen tragenden Hebeln versehen sein.According to another embodiment, the task or the like in a transport and / or handling device for containers. with several coupling claws, preferably approximately triangular coupling claws, each of which has a substantially flat rear side and a convexly spherically curved front side, which in cross section converges at an acute angle to the rear side formed by the legs of the triangle, according to the invention solved in that a supporting frame on opposite spars is provided with at least one each by a lever, the coupling claw at its lower free end wearing. Such a transport and / or handling device can be used, for example, as loading equipment for so-called spreaders, as are known, for example, from DE-OS 33 15 889. The support frame, which is expediently provided in its four corners with eyelets for attaching suspension cables or suspension chains, can be provided on opposite sides with one or two coupling claw-carrying levers.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Tragrahmen lassen sich in einfacher Weise Container auf Containerumladestationen, beispielsweise für den See- oder Bahnverkehr, oder auf Umschlagstellen für Abfallcontainer aufnehmen und umsetzen.With the support frame according to the invention, containers can be easily picked up and transferred to container transfer stations, for example for sea or rail traffic, or to transshipment points for waste containers.

Um mit den Kupplungsklauen in einfacher Weise die komplementären Aufnahmetaschen der Container hintergreifen zu können, sind die Hebel vorzugsweise schwenkbar ausgebildet, damit sie beim Absenken des Tragrahmens behinderungsfrei an den Aufnahmetaschen vorbeigeführt und dann in eine Lage verschwenkt werden können, aus der heraus sie beim Anheben des Tragrahmens in die Aufnahmetaschen greifen.In order to be able to reach behind the complementary receiving pockets of the containers in a simple manner with the coupling claws, the levers are preferably designed to be pivotable so that they can be guided past the receiving pockets without hindrance when the supporting frame is lowered and can then be pivoted into a position from which they can be lifted when lifting the Grip the support frame in the receiving pockets.

Entsprechend können die Container auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten mit je einer oder je zwei Aufnahmetaschen unterhalb ihres aussteifenden oberen Randes versehen sein.Accordingly, the containers can be provided on opposite sides with one or two receiving pockets below their stiffening upper edge.

Der Hubrahmen 1 besteht aus seitlichen Trägern 2,3, die durch Querträger 4,5 zu einem Rahmen miteinander verbunden sind. Der Hubrahmen 1 ist auf seiner Rückseite jeweils mit zwei oberen und unteren Lagerstücken 6,7 versehen, in denen Rollen 8 gelagert sind, die in den aus U-Profilen bestehenden vertikalen Trägern 9 des Hubgerüsts laufen. Dabei sind die Rollen 8 zwischen den inneren Flanken der Schenkel der Hubprofile 9 geführt.The lifting frame 1 consists of side supports 2, 3, which are connected to one another by cross beams 4, 5 to form a frame. The lifting frame 1 is provided on its rear side with two upper and lower bearing pieces 6, 7, in which rollers 8 are mounted, which run in the vertical supports 9 of the lifting frame consisting of U-profiles. The rollers 8 are guided between the inner flanks of the legs of the lifting profiles 9.

Die vertikalen Träger 9 des Hubschlittens 1 sind mit im Querschnitt etwa hammerkopfförmigen Führungen 11 versehen, in die entsprechend geformte Führungsstücke 12 greifen, die auf der Rückseite eines Querträgers 13 befestigt sind, der im Bereich seiner Enden etwa dreieckige Kupplungsklauen 14 trägt. Diese Kupplungsklauen 14 weisen ebene äußere Stützflächen 15 und sphärisch gekrümmte Rückseiten 16 auf, die etwa die Form eines Kegelabschnitts mit zu der Kegelachse paralleler Schnittfläche aufweisen können. Der Querträger 13 ist mittig mit der Kolbenstange 17 eines Hydraulikzylinders 18 verbunden, der seinerseits auf dem unteren Querträger 5 des Hubschlittens befestigt ist.The vertical supports 9 of the lifting carriage 1 are provided with guides 11 which are approximately hammer-head-shaped in cross section and which are engaged by correspondingly shaped guide pieces 12 which are fastened to the rear of a cross member 13 which carries approximately triangular coupling claws 14 in the region of its ends. These Coupling claws 14 have flat outer support surfaces 15 and spherically curved rear sides 16, which can have approximately the shape of a cone section with a cutting surface parallel to the cone axis. The cross member 13 is connected in the center to the piston rod 17 of a hydraulic cylinder 18, which in turn is fastened to the lower cross member 5 of the lifting carriage.

Der Hubschlitten 1 ist an seinem unteren Ende mit gabelförmigen Zinken 20 versehen, die über Abrundungen in Fußstücke 21 übergehen.The lifting carriage 1 is provided at its lower end with fork-shaped prongs 20 which merge into foot pieces 21 via roundings.

Der Hubschlitten 1 ist in den Führungen des Hubgerüstes 9 durch eine hydraulische Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 22 verschieblich.The lifting carriage 1 is displaceable in the guides of the mast 9 by a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit 22.

Auf dem Querträger 13 sind in aufragenden Lagerstücken 25 Verriegelungshebel 26 schwenkbar gelagert, die durch Druckmittel-Kolben-Zylinder-Einheiten 27 verschwenkbar sind. Diese Verriegelungshebel 26 legen sich im angekuppelten Zustand der Container 30, in dem die Kupplungsklauen 14 in die komplementären Kupplungstaschen 31 greifen, auf den umlaufenden oberen Verstärkungsrand 32 der Container.On the cross member 13 locking levers 26 are pivotally mounted in upstanding bearing pieces 25, which are pivotable by pressure medium piston-cylinder units 27. In the coupled state of the containers 30, in which the coupling claws 14 engage in the complementary coupling pockets 31, these locking levers 26 lie on the circumferential upper reinforcing edge 32 of the containers.

Die Container 30 sind unterhalb ihres Bodens 33 mit zu einer Behälterseitenwand 34 parallel verlaufenden Trägern 35 versehen. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Träger 35 aus einem Doppel-T-Profil. Zum Ankuppeln des Containers 30 fahren die Gabeln 20 des Hubschlittens 1 unter den Container 30. bis sie gegen das Stützprofil 35 stoßen. Anschließend wird dann die hydraulische Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 17,18 ausgefahren, so daß die Kupplungsklauen 14 in die Aufnahmetaschen 31 einfahren. Sodann wird der Verriegelungshebel 26 auf den Containerrand 32 verschwenkt, so daß der Container 30 formschlüssig an den Hubschlitten 1 angekuppelt ist.The containers 30 are provided below their bottom 33 with supports 35 running parallel to a container side wall 34. In the illustrated embodiment, the carrier 35 consists of a double-T profile. For coupling the container 30, the forks 20 of the lifting carriage 1 travel under the container 30 until they abut the support profile 35. Then the hydraulic piston-cylinder unit 17, 18 is extended so that the clutch claws 14 move into the receiving pockets 31. Then the locking lever 26 is pivoted onto the container edge 32, so that the container 30 is positively coupled to the lifting carriage 1.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig.5 bis 8 ist ein rechteckiger Hubrahmen 40 vorgesehen, der in seinen Ecken mit Ösen 41 zum Einhängen von Seilen oder Ketten versehen ist. An den Holmen 43,44 sind je nach der Größe der zu handhabenden und zu versetzenden Container 1 oder 2 Traghebel 46 schwenkbar gelagert. Die Traghebel 46 sind an ihren unteren Enden über Distanzstücke 47 mit Kupplungsklauen 14 verbunden. Diese Kupplungsklauen 14 sind komplementär zu den Aufnahmetaschen 31, die unterhalb des Containerrandes 32 an den Seitenwandungen der Behälterwanne angeordnet sind.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 to 8, a rectangular lifting frame 40 is provided, which is provided in its corners with eyelets 41 for hanging in ropes or chains. Depending on the size of the containers to be handled and moved, 1 or 2 carrying levers 46 are pivotably mounted on the bars 43, 44. The support levers 46 are connected to coupling claws 14 at their lower ends via spacers 47. These coupling claws 14 are complementary to the receiving pockets 31, which are arranged below the container rim 32 on the side walls of the container trough.

Aus Fig.6 sind die an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwandungen des Containers 45 befestigten Aufnahmetaschen 31 in Draufsicht und Oberansicht ersichtlich.The receiving pockets 31 fastened to opposite side walls of the container 45 can be seen in FIG. 6 in plan view and top view.

Die Traghebel 46 sind in der aus Fig.7 ersichtlichen Weise als zweiarmige Hebel ausgebildet, wobei an den den Tragrahmen 40 überragenden kürzeren Hebelarmen die Kolbenstangen von Druckmittel-Kolben-Zylinder-Einheiten 53 angelenkt sind, deren Zylinder in der dargestellten Weise gelenkig mit dem Tragrahmen 40 verbunden sind.The support levers 46 are designed in the manner shown in FIG. 7 as two-armed levers, the piston rods of pressure medium piston-cylinder units 53 being articulated to the shorter lever arms projecting from the support frame 40, the cylinders of which are articulated with the support frame in the manner shown 40 are connected.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.9 weisen die Traghebel 50 über die Kupplungsklauen 14 hinaus verlängerte abgewinkelte Stützarme 51 auf, die endseitig mit Stützplatten 52 versehen sind, die sich beim Anheben gegen die Behälterseitenwandungen abstützen. Traghebel dieser Art sind insbesondere dann geeignet, wenn die zu handhabenden Container 45 nur mit zwei Aufnahmetaschen versehen sind.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 9, the support levers 50 have angled support arms 51 which are elongated beyond the coupling claws 14 and which are provided at the end with support plates 52 which are supported against the side walls of the container during lifting. Carrying levers of this type are particularly suitable if the containers 45 to be handled are only provided with two receiving pockets.
