Abstract

The rectangular skip is open to the top and has a pair of lifting stubs (10) on each of the long sides. These are gripped by the conventional lifting slings attached to the lifting arms to transfer the skip between the vehicle and the ground. Two parallel hollow ducts (11) along the length of the base provide a grip for the forks of a fork lift truck. The skip has vertical end faces and has a length not greater than the width of the transport vehicle. This allows it to be stacked on the vehicle alongside similar skips. Additional grips on the end faces allow the skip to be gripped by hooked ends of lifting/tipping arms. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sammel- und Transportsystem für Abfallstoffe, insbesondere Schrott.The invention relates to a collection and transport system for waste materials, especially scrap.

Nach oben offene Container für den Transport von Abfallstoffen, wie z.B. Schutt oder dergleichen, werden üblicherweise mit sogenannten Absetzkipperfahrzeugen transportiert. Diese Fahrzeuge weisen eine Hubvorrichtung in Form eines doppelten Schwenkarms auf, an denen jeweils ein Geschirr befestigt ist, das an Aufhängezapfen an den Seitenwänden der Container befestigt werden kann. Mittels dieser Hubvorrichtung werden die Container, die üblicherweise eine muldenförmige Gestalt mit vertikalen Seiten- und geneigten Stirnwänden haben, parallel zur Längsachse des Fahrzeugs über dessen rückwärtiges Ende abgesetzt bzw. aufgeladen; der Transport solcher Container mit anderen Fahrzeugen ist nicht ohne weiteres möglich.Containers open at the top for the transport of waste materials, e.g. rubble or the like, are usually with so-called skip loader vehicles transported. These vehicles have a lifting device in the form of a double swivel arm, on each of which a harness is attached to the Hanging pins can be attached to the side walls of the container. By means of this lifting device, the containers, which are usually one have a trough-shaped shape with vertical side walls and inclined end walls, offset parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle via its rear end or charged; is the transportation of such containers with other vehicles not easily possible.

Es ist allerdings auch bekannt, an einem solchen Container zusätzlich zu den Aufhängezapfen am Boden Aufnahmetunnel für Gabelstaplerzinken vorzusehen (GB 2 242 411 A). Diese Aufnahmetunnel verlaufen quer zu den Seitenwänden des Containers, erlauben also nur eine Verladung quer zur Längsachse des Containers.However, it is also known to add to such a container Suspension pin on the floor to provide a receiving tunnel for forklift tines (GB 2 242 411 A). These receiving tunnels run across the side walls of the container, so only allow loading transversely to the longitudinal axis of the Containers.

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Möglichkeit zu schaffen, um Container sowohl mit den bekannten Absetzkipperfahrzeugen, als auch mittels anderer Hubgeräte bzw. Transportmittel auf- und abladen sowie auf einem Lkw besonders raumnutzend transportieren zu können.Against this background, the invention is based on the object Possibility to create containers with both the known Skip-loader vehicles, as well as by means of other lifting devices or means of transport to be able to load and unload and to transport it in a space-efficient manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Sammel- und Transportsystem mit den im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This task is carried out by a collection and transport system with the Features specified claim 1 solved.

Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Container nicht nur mit den bekannten Aufhängezapfen für das Geschirr eines Absetzkipperfahrzeugs und Aufnahmetunneln für Gabelstaplerzinken zu versehen, sondern die Aufnahmetunnel parallel zu den Seitenwänden anzuordnen. Wenn die Länge des Containers gleich oder geringer ist als die im Hinblick auf die Straßenverfahrbarkeit maximale Breite der Pritsche eines Lkw, dann gelingt es, einen oder mehrere Container von der Seite her mittels Gabelstapler auf die Pritsche des Lkw aufzusetzen. Durch die gleichzeitige Anordnung der Aufhängezapfen besteht auch die Möglichkeit, den Container durch beliebige andere kranartige Hebezeuge auf- oder abzuladen, insbesondere auch durch ein übliches Absetzkipperfahrzeug, das von der Seite her quer an den betreffenden Lkw heranfahren und die Container nacheinander entnehmen und in an sich bekannter Weise durch Kippen mittels eines Kipphakens entleeren kann.The basic idea of the invention is to not only use a container known suspension pin for the dishes of a skip loader vehicle and To provide receiving tunnels for forklift tines, but the Arrange the recording tunnel parallel to the side walls. If the length of the Containers is equal to or less than that with regard to Road mobility maximum width of the platform of a truck, then it succeeds one or more containers from the side using a forklift onto the Put the truck's flatbed. By the simultaneous arrangement of the There is also the possibility of hanging the container by any to load or unload other crane-like hoists, in particular by one Standard skip loader vehicle, which is from the side across to the relevant Drive up the truck and remove the containers one by one and in themselves can empty in a known manner by tilting by means of a tilting hook.

Für das Recycling von Schrott ergibt sich ein besonderer Vorteil dadurch, daß diese Container im leeren Zustand als Zuladung zu Stahltransporten vom Stahlwerk zu einem Abnehmer gebracht und in gefülltem Zustand bei der Rückfahrt des leeren Fahrzeugs auf dessen Pritsche zum Stahlwerk zur Verwendung des Schrotts zurückgebracht werden können. Da auf der Pritsche eines für den Stahltransport entsprechend langen Lkw mehrere Container untergebracht werden können, erspart man sich dadurch mehrere Fahrten mit einem eigenen, für den Transport nur eines Containers eingerichteten Absetzkipperfahrzeugs.For the recycling of scrap, there is a particular advantage in that these containers when empty as a load for steel transports from Steelworks brought to a customer and filled at the Return of the empty vehicle on its platform to the steelworks Use of the scrap can be brought back. There on the cot one container for steel transport correspondingly long, several containers you can save several trips with its own, set up for the transport of only one container Skip loader vehicle.

Der erfindungsgemäße Container 1 hat, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, rechteckigen Grundriß; er besteht aus zwei vertikalen Seitenwänden 2 und 3, zwei ebenfalls vertikalen Stirnwänden 4 und 5 sowie einem Boden 6. Horizontale Verstärkungen 7 und 8, z.B. in Form von U-Profilen, umgeben den oberen Rand des Containers 1 bzw. die Seiten- und Stirnwände 2, 3, 4, 5 in halber Höhe. Die Verstärkungen 7 und 8 sind an den Seitenwänden 2 und 3 durch vertikale Verstärkungen 9 miteinander verbunden, an denen die Aufhängezapfen 10 für das Geschirr eines - nicht dargestellten - Absetzkipperfahrzeugs befestigt sind.The container 1 according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 3, has a rectangular plan; he consists of two vertical side walls 2 and 3, two also vertical End walls 4 and 5 and a bottom 6. Horizontal reinforcements 7 and 8, e.g. in the form of U-profiles, surround the upper edge of the container 1 or the Side and end walls 2, 3, 4, 5 halfway up. The reinforcements 7 and 8 are on the side walls 2 and 3 by vertical reinforcements 9 together connected, on which the hanging pin 10 for the dishes one - not shown - skip loader vehicle are attached.

An der Innenseite des Bodens 6 befinden sich in Längsrichtung des Containers 1, also parallel zu den Seitenwänden 2 und 3, zwei Aufnahmetunnel 11 für Gabelstaplerzinken, welche die Stirnwände 4 und 5 des Containers 1 durchdringen. In diese Aufnahmetunnel 11 können von den Stirnseiten des Containers 1 her die Gabeln eines Gabelstaplers eingeführt werden. Durch die vertikale Ausrichtung der Stirnwände 4 und 5 kann der Gabelstapler bis dicht an die jeweilige Stirnwand heranfahren und den Container 1 aufheben oder absetzen.On the inside of the bottom 6 there are in the longitudinal direction of the container 1, So parallel to the side walls 2 and 3, two receiving tunnels 11 for Forklift tines, which the end walls 4 and 5 of the container 1st penetrate. In this receiving tunnel 11 can from the end faces of the Containers 1 ago the forks of a forklift are introduced. Through the vertical alignment of the end walls 4 and 5, the forklift can close to drive up the respective end wall and pick up or set down container 1.

Die Länge L, die Breite B und die Höhe H des Containers 1 sind so gewählt, daß das Volumen des Containers 1 demjenigen eines üblichen Containers entspricht; allerdings sollte die Länge L gleich oder kleiner sein als die maximale Breite der Pritsche eines Lkw, so daß ein oder mehrere dieser Container von der Seite her in Querrichtung auf einen Lkw aufgeladen werden können.The length L, the width B and the height H of the container 1 are chosen so that the volume of the container 1 corresponds to that of a conventional container; however, the length L should be equal to or less than the maximum width of the Flatbed of a truck, so that one or more of these containers from the side in Transverse direction can be loaded onto a truck.

In den unteren Bereichen der Stirnwände 4 und 5 sind die üblichen Hakenaufnahmen 12 vorgesehen, an denen bei an einem Hebezeug aufgehängtem Container Kipphaken angreifen können, um den Container zu entleeren.In the lower areas of the end walls 4 and 5 are the usual ones Hook receptacles 12 are provided, on which at a hoist Suspended container can engage tilt hooks to close the container empty.
