Abstract

The invention relates to a conveyor with a supporting rail with running faces for driven carrying wheels of vehicles, such as suspended or elevated crabs or the like, with supplementary rail, assigned to the supporting rail, for the supplementary wheels which load the carrying wheels. <??>In order to simplify such a system with a large number of vehicles and few ascending and descending gradients, it is proposed according to the invention that the supplementary rail (6) is supported directly or indirectly on the supporting rail (1) via springs (7). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Förderanlage mit einer Tragschiene mit Laufflächen für angetriebene Tragräder von Fahrzeugen, wie hängende oder aufgeständerte Katzen oder dergl., mit der Tragschiene zugeordneter Zusatzschiene für die Tragräder belastende Zusatzräder.The invention relates to a conveyor system with a support rail with treads for driven support wheels of vehicles, such as hanging or standing cats or the like. With the support rail associated additional rail for the support wheels loading additional wheels.

Bei Förderanlagen dieser Art nach der DE-PS 47 42 43 und der DE-PS 39 05 210 werden die Zusatzräder stets von Federn beaufschlagt und gelangen an Steigungs- und Gefällestrecken in den Bereich von Zusatzschienen, so daß die Tragräder zum Erhöhen des Reibschlusses zusätzlich belastet werden. Durch die federnde Lagerung der Zusatzräder werden die Aufwendungen für die Katzen erhöht. Dies ist nicht besonders nachteilig, wenn nur wenig Katzen in einer Förderanlage fahren. Wenn aber viele Katzen in einer Förderanlage fahren, wirkt sich der Mehraufwand für die federnde Lagerung der Zusatzräder nachteilig aus, vor allem, wenn diese nur selten innerhalb der Förderanlage gebraucht werden, z.B. wenn nur eine Steigungsstrecke und eine Gefällestrecke vorhanden ist.In conveyor systems of this type according to DE-PS 47 42 43 and DE-PS 39 05 210, the additional wheels are always acted upon by springs and reach inclines and descents in the area of additional rails, so that the support wheels are additionally loaded to increase the frictional engagement will. The resilient bearing of the additional wheels increases the expenses for the cats. This is not particularly disadvantageous if only a few cats drive in a conveyor system. If, however, many cats drive in a conveyor system, the additional effort for the resilient mounting of the additional wheels has a disadvantageous effect, especially if they are only rarely used within the conveyor system, for example if there is only one incline and one slope.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Förderanlage der genannten Art mit vielen Fahrzeugen und wenig Steigungs- und Gefällestrecken zu vereinfachen. Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Zusatzschiene über Federn direkt oder indirekt an der Tragschiene abgestützt ist. Durch die federnde Tragschiene wird der Aufwand im Bereich der Steigungs- und Gefällestrecke zwar vergrößert, der Aufwand für die vielen Fahrzeuge durch Entfallen der federnden Lagerung der Zusatzräder aber reduziert, so daß sich insgesamt eine vereinfachte Konstruktion ergibt.The object of the invention is therefore to simplify a conveyor system of the type mentioned with many vehicles and few uphill and downhill sections. This object is achieved in that the additional rail is supported directly or indirectly on the mounting rail by means of springs. Due to the resilient mounting rail, the effort in the area of the incline and descent is increased, but the effort for the many vehicles is reduced by eliminating the resilient mounting of the additional wheels, so that overall a simplified construction results.

Vorzugsweise ist die Zusatzschiene oberhalb der Lauffläche der Tragschiene mit Konsolen an einer Tragkonstruktion angeordnet und aus einzelnen Abschnitten gebildet, die kürzer sind als der Abstand zwischen zwei Katzen, die zum Bilden einer Fahreinheit über eine Tragtraverse miteinander verbunden sind. Die beiden Katzen, von denen nur eine einen Fahrmotor haben muß, haben starre, senkrecht zur Tragschiene gerichtete Tragstangen mit Zapfenverlängerungen für Bohrungen der Tragtraverse. Beim Ein- und Ausfahren von Vertikalbögen an Übergängen zu Steigungs- und Gefällestrecken bzw. zur Geraden ändert sich die Höhenlage der Fahreinheit relativ zur Lauffläche. Diese Differenz wird durch die federnde Abstützung der Zusatzschiene ausgeglichen, deren Abstand zur Lauffläche um ca. 10 - 20 mm nachgeben kann. Auch werden Fertigungstoleranzen und Verschleiß der Tragräder ausgeglichen. Der jeweils letzte Abschnitt der Zusatzschiene ist vorzugsweise als Ein- oder Auslaufabschrägung ausgebildet und hat am Ende einen größeren Abstand zur Lauffläche als im sonstigen Bereich.The additional rail is preferably arranged above the running surface of the mounting rail with brackets on a mounting structure and is formed from individual sections which are shorter than the distance between two cats which are connected to one another via a carrying beam to form a driving unit. The two cats, of which only one must have a traction motor, have rigid support rods which are oriented perpendicular to the mounting rail and have pin extensions for drilling the crossbeam. When vertical arches are retracted and extended at transitions to inclines and descents or straight lines, the height of the drive unit changes relative to the tread. This difference is compensated for by the resilient support of the additional rail, the distance to the running surface of which can decrease by approx. 10 - 20 mm. Manufacturing tolerances and wear on the idler wheels are also compensated for. The last section of the additional rail is preferably designed as an inlet or outlet bevel and at the end has a greater distance from the running surface than in the other area.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist jede Katze über Führungsrollen an Seitenflächen der Tragschiene geführt, so daß auch Tragschienen mit Horizontalbögen befahren werden können.In a further embodiment of the invention, each cat is guided over guide rollers on side surfaces of the mounting rail, so that mounting rails with horizontal arches can also be used.

Die Abschnitte der Zusatzschiene sind vorzugsweise über durch Bohrungen geführte Gelenkbolzen miteinander verbunden und mit einem Führungssteg an einer Tragkonstruktion geführt, wobei der Führungssteg ein Langloch für einen Bolzen hat, der durch eine Bohrung einer Druckplatte für die aus einem elastischen Ring bestehende Feder geführt ist. Die Druckplatte ist über eine Konsole an einer Tragkonstruktion abgestützt, die auch die Tragschiene trägt.The sections of the additional rail are preferably connected to one another via hinge bolts guided through bores and guided with a guide web on a supporting structure, the guide web having an elongated hole for a bolt which is guided through a bore in a pressure plate for the spring consisting of an elastic ring. The pressure plate is supported by a bracket on a supporting structure that also carries the mounting rail.

Das Zusatzrad wird über Reibschluß von dem Tragrad angetrieben und pendelnd an einer Schleppschwinge gelagert. Es wird nur im Bereich der Zusatzschiene auf das Tragrad gedrückt und erhöht dessen Druck auf die Lauffläche der Tragschiene und damit den Reibschluß während es sonst drucklos ist und keine Antriebskraft benötigt.The auxiliary wheel is driven by the idler wheel via frictional engagement and is mounted on a towing arm in a swinging manner. It is only pressed onto the support wheel in the area of the additional rail and increases its pressure on the running surface of the support rail and thus the frictional engagement while it is otherwise depressurized and requires no driving force.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und im folgenden erläutert. Es zeigen:

Ein Obergurt einer Tragschiene 1 bildet eine Lauffläche 2 für Tragräder 3 von Katzen 4, deren Zusatzräder 5 in Fahrtrichtung versetzt zu den Tragrädern 3 angeordnet sind und über Reibschluß angetrieben werden. Die Zusatzräder 5 gelangen im Bereich von Steigungs- und Gefällestrecken oder im Bereich von Beschleunigungs- oder Bremsstrecken einer Transportanlage in den Bereich von Zusatzschienen 6 und erhöhen den Andruck der Tragräder 3 auf die Lauffläche, so daß auch große Steigungen überwunden werden können, wobei die Steigung bei Verwendung einer gerippten Zusatzschiene noch weiter erhöht werden kann. Die Zusatzschiene 6 ist aus Abschnitten gebildet und über Federn 7 und Konsolen 8 bzw. Schrauben an einer Tragkonstruktion 9 abgestützt, die auch Konsolen 8a für die Tragschiene 1 hat, an der Gestänge G mit PKW-Türen transportiert werden.An upper flange of a mounting rail 1 forms a tread 2 for mounting wheels 3 of cats 4, the additional wheels 5 of which are arranged offset in the direction of travel to the mounting wheels 3 and are driven by friction. The additional wheels 5 get in the area of incline and descent or in the area of acceleration or braking distances of a transport system in the area of additional rails 6 and increase the pressure of the support wheels 3 on the tread, so that large inclines can be overcome, the slope can be increased even further when using a ribbed additional rail. The additional rail 6 is formed from sections and is supported by springs 7 and brackets 8 or screws on a support structure 9, which also has brackets 8a for the mounting rail 1, on which the linkage G is transported by car doors.

Es bilden jeweils zwei Katzen 4, die nach Figur 2 starre, nach unten gerichtete Tragstangen 10 für eine diese miteinander verbindende Tragtraverse 11 für die zu transportierenen Güter haben, eine Fahreinheit. Die Tragstangen 10 ragen mit Zapfenverlängerungen 12 durch Bohrungen 13 bzw. Hülsen der Tragtraverse 11, so daß sich die Katzen 4 gegenseitig gegen Kippen in Längsrichtung sichern. Die Zapfenverlängerungen 12 und Bohrungen 13 erlauben jedoch das Durchfahren von Kurven, wobei jede Katze 4 über vier Führungsrollen 14, die über Kreuz an Platten 15 der Tragstangen 10 gelagert sind, an der Tragschiene 1 geführt ist. Von den beiden in den Figuren 1 und 3 gezeichneten Katzen 4 einer Fahreinheit ist nur eine mit einem Fahrmotor 25 und einem Zusatzrad 5 versehen, das über eine Schleppschwinge 28 und einem Lagerbolzen 29 an der Katze 4 angelenkt ist. Der Fahrmotor 25 der Katze 4 wird über Schleifleitungen 26 und Stromabnehmer 27 mit Energie und Steuerimpulsen versorgt.Two trolleys 4, which according to FIG. 2 have rigid, downward-pointing support rods 10 for a cross-beam 11 connecting them to one another for the goods to be transported, form a driving unit. The support rods 10 protrude with pin extensions 12 through bores 13 or sleeves of the crossbeam 11, so that the cats 4 secure each other against tipping in the longitudinal direction. The pin extensions 12 and bores 13, however, allow driving through curves, each cat 4 being guided on the mounting rail 1 by means of four guide rollers 14, which are mounted crosswise on plates 15 of the mounting rods 10. Of the two cats 4 of a driving unit shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, only one has a driving motor 25 and one Provide additional wheel 5, which is articulated to the cat 4 via a towing arm 28 and a bearing pin 29. The traction motor 25 of the cat 4 is supplied with energy and control pulses via conductor lines 26 and current collectors 27.

Wegen des Abstandes zwischen den Katzen 4 einer Fahreinheit ändert sich beim Durchfahren von Vertikalbögen, vor allem an Ein- und Ausfahrten, der senkrechte Abstand zwischen den Anlageflächen von Tragrädern 3 und den dahinter oder davor angeordneten Zusatzrädern 5 kontinuierlich. Diese Abstandsschwankungen werden durch die Federn 7 ausgeglichen, an denen sich die Abschnitte der Zusatzschiene 6 abstützen. Die Abschnitte sind kürzer als der Radstand der Katzen 4 einer Fahreinheit, wie in Figur 1 erkennbar. Damit können Toleranzen von Fahrzeug zu Fahrzeug ausgeglichen werden, z. B. nimmt ein Fahrzeug mit Übermaß einem nachfolgenden nicht die Verspannung.Because of the distance between the cats 4 of a driving unit, the vertical distance between the contact surfaces of carrying wheels 3 and the additional wheels 5 arranged behind or in front of them changes continuously when driving through vertical arches, especially at entrances and exits. These fluctuations in distance are compensated for by the springs 7, on which the sections of the additional rail 6 are supported. The sections are shorter than the wheelbase of the cats 4 of a driving unit, as can be seen in FIG. 1. This allows vehicle-to-vehicle tolerances to be compensated, e.g. B. a vehicle with excess does not take the tension of a subsequent one.

Die Figuren 4 bis 6 zeigen die Befestigung der Abschnitte der Zusatzschiene 6 aneinander und deren Abstützung über die Federn 7 an Druckplatten 16 der Konsolen 8. Jede Druckplatte 8 hat, wie Figur 5 zeigt, seitliche Ausschnitte 17 und eine Bohrung 18 für einen Bolzen 19. An diesem ist ein Abschnitt der Zusatzschiene 6 an einem Ende über einen Führungssteg 20 mit einem Langloch 21 geführt. Die Zusatzschienen 6 haben an den Enden Abplattungen 22 und Bohrungen 23 für Gelenkbolzen 24, wie Figur 6 zeigt, so daß zwischen den einzelnen Abschnitten kein Versatz entsteht.FIGS. 4 to 6 show the fastening of the sections of the additional rail 6 to one another and their support via the springs 7 on pressure plates 16 of the brackets 8. Each pressure plate 8, as shown in FIG. 5, has lateral cutouts 17 and a bore 18 for a bolt 19. At this end, a section of the additional rail 6 is guided at one end via a guide web 20 with an elongated hole 21. The additional rails 6 have flats 22 and bores 23 for pivot pins 24 at the ends, as shown in FIG. 6, so that there is no offset between the individual sections.

Jeder Führungssteg 20 führt durch die als Ring ausgebildete, aus Vulkolan hergestellte Feder 7.Each guide web 20 leads through the spring 7, which is designed as a ring and is made of vulcanic oil.
