Definitions

  • the invention relates to a charging system for covering a Ship hatch or similar loading opening during loading and Unloading process by means of a load suspension device, especially mobile harbor cranes and pallet loaders, battered Pallet containers, the one on the edge of the loading opening attachable loading slot automatically depending on the Position of the pallet container opened and closed can and its upper shaft opening at in the loading shaft or the rainproof pallet container below by one above the pallet container and the Load handler arranged, on the loading bay supporting, umbrella-like shield that can be covered has free passage for the side of the hoist and with the lifting device raised above the height of the loading shaft rests on this.
  • a generic device for covering ship hatches is in the unpublished German patent application P 44 47 386.6 describes and serves the weather-independent Loading and unloading of ships, especially with palletized ones Charge.
  • Goods are often subject to weather-related delays and with longer ship lay times, which not only the Delay transportation of goods, but also due to high additional mooring fees, make them considerably more expensive. It is therefore various attempts have been made to load and unload even in bad weather, especially heavy rain allow by preventing the water from entering the storage space to penetrate.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore, starting from the above described known charging system to improve this so that regardless of the position of the pallet container during the movement of the load handler detected without contact and depending on this the opening and closing of the cover is controlled.
  • the loading slot to cover the loading opening is intended for a variety different loading opening sizes can be used, d. H. to the Loading hatches of different ships can be adapted.
  • the invention proposes that to open and close the loading opening in the lower area the loading slot in its one end position the loading opening closing roller door is provided, the closed Roller door with pallet container located in the loading shaft is arranged below the same that the roller door after cover the upper loading slot opening through the sign into a die Other opening position releasing the loading opening is movable, and that the opening and closing movements of the roller shutter by non-contact detecting the position of the pallet container Are controllable.
  • the opening and The load suspension device no longer closes the loading opening or the pallet container itself and mechanically, but contactless and independent.
  • An oblique adjustment of the Pallet containers, even with longer pendulum lengths of the lifting ropes is certainly excluded, so that a trouble-free loading and Unloading becomes possible.
  • the roller door is driven separately move and to the position of the pallet container appropriate position set. Since the roller shutter with the umbrella-like arranged above the pallet container The shield cooperates after the pallet container has been driven in set the opening of the roller shutter in the loading shaft be that initially the shield largely the upper shaft opening closes before the roller door opens the loading opening. On this ensures that the loading hatch is always in front Weather conditions such as snow or rain remain protected and all processes can run automatically.
  • All of the guides for the roller door are preferably inside out of the loading shaft, so that the loading shaft with roller shutter and drive as a structural unit - transported by crane the loading opening of the ship can be put on.
  • roller door designed to be deflectable on both sides on endlessly rotating ones Toothed belt is guided, which are parallel to each other on both sides circulate inside the loading shaft via pulleys that the roller door, depending on the control of the direction of movement Timing belts in one or the other of the end positions.
  • the area between the endless toothed belts remains free to handle the cargo.
  • the loading bay on a width and Height of the loading opening adjustable base frame arranged is that with a smaller loading slot width than the loading opening width covers the remaining opening gaps. That way you can Roller shutter and shaft each to the dimensions of the Pallet containers are dimensioned while parked due to the adjustable base frame the adaptation to the variable dimensions is made on site. It is in particular the width of the loading opening, for consideration is to be taken while the length of the loading openings is usually can be covered by the hatches provided on the ship.
  • the underframe from horizontal, length-adjustable, at their free ends there are support straps that can be placed on the edge of the loading opening, which roll with one when the support beams extend Interact protective cover (roller blind) for the column.
  • Interact protective cover roll blind
  • the roll-up door according to the invention is also able to provide the suitable protective cover for this application, in that the side wall which is open in each case is protected laterally by the roll-up door when the pallet container is inserted into the shaft and covered by the plate at the top, the lower one being simultaneously Loading opening to the hatch is released.
  • the loading opening is thus protected with appropriate control of the roller shutter movement in every position of the pallet container, without mechanical devices coupled to the load handling device or the pallet container having to be provided.
  • the loading shaft on its side opposite the open side wall is also open and this opening through another roller door is lockable. This use case is conceivable if additionally loading and unloading from sea to inland vessels has to be done.
  • the advantage of the present invention is simple and inexpensive to create facility to cover the Ship hatch to see the no more regarding their Opening or closing movement through the pallet containers or the load suspension device is controlled mechanically, but depending on the non-contact position of the Pallet containers in the loading shaft.
  • the adjustable base enables the loading slot to be adapted to different Loading openings and is therefore on a large number of ships applicable. With appropriate training, this is the side Controlling the loading opening is just as possible as loading through the loading shaft for loading and unloading of seagoing vessels to barges.
  • FIG 1 is a schematic cross section through a unloading ship 1 shown, the cargo hold 3 upwards (Loading opening 2) is open, so that the rain-protected Pallet container 4 by means of trolley 5a and load handling device 5b can be transported into the loading hatch 3.
  • the loading opening 2 of the hull becomes exposed to the weather closed by the loading shaft 6, which is inclined to the outside Side walls is arranged on the base 7, which consists of the horizontally adjustable support beams 8, the vertically variable at their free ends 9 Supports 10a and support plates 10b on the edge 11 of the loading opening lie on.
  • Between the support beams 8 is a protective cover 12 provided on both sides of the loading shaft 6 at 13 remaining opening shaft covers.
  • the protective cover is rolled up like a roller blind at 15 and at 15 in Area of the charging bay attached so that the protective cover 12 unrolls itself automatically when the support beams 8 extend and closes the opening gap.
  • the pallet container 4 can be raised and lowered on the ropes 16 attached to the load handler, whereby between trolley 5a and load suspension means 5b a sign 18, by ropes 16 guided, freely moving vertically, in its horizontal Extension covers the upper shaft opening when the pallet container is in the Loading slot 6 or below.
  • the shield 18 closes when loading the Pallet containers 4 up the loading shaft.
  • the loading shaft 6 is variable in length Guy ropes 19 fixed to the hull 1.
  • the shaft has one inside Ring collar 20 on which the shield 18 can be placed, under which the upper pulley 21 of two further deflection rollers 22 and 23 is arranged around the endlessly guided Toothed belt 24 run parallel to each other on both sides of the loading shaft 6.
  • the toothed belt 24 lead between them the deflectable roller shutter 25, which in the Figure 2 shown position closes the loading opening 2 of the hull 1. Due to the inclined guidance of the roller shutter 25, this can be done through the upper shaft opening ingress of rainwater from the side and be drained off.
  • the loading opening 2 is in the position shown by the roller shutter 25 and the Protective covers 12 closed.
  • FIG. 2 there are 6 in the interior of the loading shaft Various sensors labeled a, b and c are arranged, which correspond to the position of the sensors Load shaft transported pallet container 4 capture and to control the Roller doors 25 used.
  • FIG. 3 is the loading process of the loading space 3 in six steps shown.
  • trolley 5a and load handling device 5b are transported the pallet container 4 in the direction of the arrow 26.
  • the roller door 25 is in its end position and closes the loading opening together with the protective covers 12 (FIG. 2) 2.
  • the side walls of the loading shaft 6 form a closed housing; the Water entering through the upper shaft opening runs over the closed one Roller door 25 from the side.
  • the pallet container 4 has a position above the loading slot 6 reached; the position of the roller shutter is unchanged.
  • the lifting cables 16 cause the Pallet container 4 immersed in the loading shaft 6 and has the first Position encoder a reached. If the pallet container is lowered further, it begins to open the roller door 25 with rotating toothed belt 24, while the Shield 18 begins to close the upper shaft opening. This suggestion is in Phase four shown.
  • phase 5 the pallet container was lowered further, the sign 18 is on the Ring collar 20 of the loading shaft 6 and closes it tightly.
  • the roller door 25 moved into a position to the side of the loading shaft 6, as they enlarged in Figure 1 can be seen.
  • the loading opening 2 is released so that the Pallet container 4 can be immersed in the loading space 3. All openings are closed, namely by the shield 18, the protective covers 12 on both sides of the loading shaft 6 and through the walls of the loading shaft 6 itself.
