Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme, zum Transport und zur Positionierung von Fahrzeugen oder anderen Gegenständen mit ähnlichen Abmessungen. Die Fahrzeuge sollen mit Hilfe der Vorrichtung in einer Achse um einen bestimmten Winkel gedreht werden, um eine bestimmte Bearbeitungsposition am Fahrzeug zu ermöglichen.The invention relates to a device for receiving Transport and positioning of vehicles or others Items of similar dimensions. The vehicles are supposed to with the help of the device in an axis around a certain one Angles can be rotated to a specific machining position on the vehicle.

Alle bisher bekannten Bearbeitungseinrichtungen für Teile an der Unterseite von Fahrzeugen sind entweder Überkopfarbeitsplätze oder bockkranartige Konstruktionen zum greifen, heben und schwenken.
Überkopfarbeitsplätze stellen bei der Bearbeitung gebrauchter technischer Geräte ein sehr hohes Risikopotential dar. Die wirtschaftliche Anwendung bei größeren Durchsätzen ist nicht möglich.
Die Konstruktionen in Form einer Bockkranlösung, zum Beispiel nach der DE-A-36 40 501, verfügen über einen schwenkbaren Greifmechanismus. Die Nachteile dieser Systeme liegen in der großen Bauhöhe, dem räumlich großen technischen Aufwand zur Drehung der Fahrzeuge, des begrenzten Drehwinkels der Schwenkvorrichtung, der verringerten Zugänglichkeit für Hebezeuge und Arbeitshilfen und des erhöhten Risikos für Personen und Geräte durch Überlagerung von Fahrweg der Schwenkeinrichtung und Arbeitsplätzen des Demontagepersonals.
All previously known processing devices for parts on the underside of vehicles are either overhead workstations or gantry-type structures for gripping, lifting and swiveling.
Overhead workplaces represent a very high risk potential when processing used technical devices. Economical use with larger throughputs is not possible.
The structures in the form of a gantry crane solution, for example according to DE-A-36 40 501, have a swiveling gripping mechanism. The disadvantages of these systems are the large overall height, the large amount of space required to turn the vehicles, the limited angle of rotation of the swivel device, the reduced accessibility for hoists and work aids and the increased risk for people and equipment due to the overlapping of the travel path of the swivel device and workplaces Disassembly personnel.

Aus der EP-A-417 056 ist ebenfalls eine Hebe- und Drehvorrichtung für Kraftfahrzeuge bekannt. Diese Vorrichtung ist jedoch in der Höhenverstellbarkeit beschränkt und die Drehbarkeit ist auf einen Winkel von ca. 90° eingeschränkt. From EP-A-417 056 is also a lifting and Rotary device for motor vehicles known. This device is however limited in the height adjustability and the Rotation is restricted to an angle of approx. 90 °.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Nachteile der bekannten Bearbeitungsvorrichtungen zu beseitigen und eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, welche eine räumliche Trennung von Bearbeitungsplatz und Fahrweg der Vorrichtung ermöglicht und durch freie Zugänglichkeit den Einsatz von Demontagehilfsmitteln und Hebezeugen erlaubt.The object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the known Eliminate machining devices and a device too create a spatial separation of processing space and path of the device enabled and by free Accessibility the use of disassembly tools and Hoists allowed.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Vorrichtung gemäß dem Anspruch 1 gelöst.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung sieht vor, daß auf einem Fahrwerk ein durch ein seitlich verfahrbares Hubwerk höhenverstellbares Drehwerk angeordnet ist. Auf dem Drehwerk sind Laufwerke befestigt, die mindestens einen kragend über dem Fahrwerk angeordneten, starren, kreisförmigen, in der Sehne geöffneten Drehträger halten und führen. Die Winkeländerung des Drehträgers erfolgt formschlüssig über eine Zahnradpaarung. Der mindestens eine in Aufnahmeposition befindliche Drehträger weist dabei im oberen Teil des Kreisbogens und an den Enden des mindestens einen Kreisbogens linear verschiebbare Haltekonstruktionen auf.
This object is achieved with the device according to claim 1.
The device according to the invention provides that a rotating mechanism which is height-adjustable by means of a laterally movable lifting mechanism is arranged on a chassis. Drives are attached to the rotating mechanism, which hold and guide at least one rigid, circular rotating carrier, which is arranged in a cantilever manner above the carriage and is open in the tendon. The angular change of the rotating beam is form-fitting via a gear pair. The at least one rotary support located in the receiving position has in the upper part of the circular arc and at the ends of the at least one circular arc holding structures which can be displaced linearly.

Die Vorrichtung ermöglicht in vorteilhafter Weise den Transport von Fahrzeugen in eine für Demontageschritte frei zugängliche Position sowie ein positionsgenaues, formschlüssiges Drehen des Fahrzeuges um die Mittelpunktachse des starren, kreisförmigen, in der Sehne geöffneten Drehträgers von 0 bis 190 Grad sowie eine Anpassung der Arbeitshöhe für Demontageschritte durch Höhenverstellbarkeit der Dreheinrichtung.The device advantageously enables transportation of vehicles in a freely accessible for disassembly steps Position as well as a precise, form-fitting turning of the Vehicle around the center axis of the rigid, circular, in the tendon open swivel from 0 to 190 degrees as well an adjustment of the working height for disassembly steps Height adjustment of the rotating device.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung besteht in der freien Zugänglichkeit für das Demontagepersonal von vier Seiten.
Durch die starre Konstruktion des kreisförmigen Drehträgers besitzt dieser eine hohe Funktionssicherheit.
Another advantage of the device according to the invention is that the dismantling personnel have free access from four sides.
Due to the rigid construction of the circular rotating beam, it has a high level of functional reliability.

Ein besonderer Vorteil der Erfindung ergibt sich durch die seitlich kragende Konstruktion, woraus eine örtliche Trennung von Fahrweg der Vorrichtung und Demontagsarbeitsplatz folgt. Durch die freie Zugänglichkeit von oben ist der Einsatz von Hebezeugen und anderen Demontagehilfsmittel problemlos möglich. A particular advantage of the invention results from the laterally cantilevered construction, resulting in a local separation of the track of the device and dismantling work station follows. Due to the free accessibility from above, the use of Hoists and other disassembly aids are possible without any problems.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der Drehträger formschlüssig über eine an dessen äußerem Umfang angeordnete Zahnradpaarung eine genaue Winkelveränderung ermöglicht.Another advantage of the invention is that the Rotating beam form-fitting over one on its outer circumference arranged gear pair an exact angle change enables.

Durch die an verschiedenen Stellen des Drehträgers vorgesehenen linear verschiebbare Haltekonstuktionen können die unterschiedlichsten Fahrzeugtypen in die Vorrichtung eingepaßt werden.Through the provided at different locations on the rotating beam linearly movable holding constructions can Different types of vehicles fit into the device will.

Ein anderes Merkmal der Erfindung besteht darin, daß in der in Kippositon unteren Seite des Drehträgers eine Auffangvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Dadurch sollen eventuell herunterfallende Teile aufgefangen werden.
Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung kann das Fahrwerk der Vorrichtung ein Schienenfahrwerk oder auch eine Linearführung sein.
Another feature of the invention is that a catch device is arranged in the lower side of the rotary support in the tilt position. This should catch any falling parts.
According to a further feature of the invention, the running gear of the device can be a rail running gear or also a linear guide.
