Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Container mit veränderbarem Volumen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container with changeable Volume according to the preamble of claim 1.

Container werden üblicherweise zum Transport von Gütern verwendet, es gibt jedoch auch Container, die zu Wohnzwecken genutzt oder als Werkstätten, Prüfstände, transportable Küchen oder als transportable Operationssäle ausgestattet werden, wobei eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen möglich ist. Folglich müssen solche Container auch ausreichend Raum bieten, um nicht nur Menschen und Geräte aufzunehmen, sondern auch entsprechenden Raum für ein Arbeiten oder Wohnen bieten.Containers are usually used to transport goods, however, there are also containers that are used for residential purposes or as workshops, test benches, portable kitchens or be equipped as transportable operating theaters, a variety of applications are possible. Hence Such containers must also offer sufficient space to not only to accommodate people and devices, but also appropriate ones Offer space for working or living.

Container der obigen Art sind meist für mobile Einsätze konzipiert, deshalb sollen die Transportmaße solcher Container möglichst klein sein, um einen einfachen und kostengünstigen Transport zu ermöglichen. Diese Anforderungen erfüllen die bekannten Container mit veränderlichem Volumen, bei denen entweder Teile zur Volumenvergrößerung ausgeklappt werden oder schubladenähnliche Elemente aus dem Containerinnern ausgefahren werden und so das umbaute Volumen vergrößern. Die ausgefahrenen Elemente bilden gewissermaßen Anbauten an den Container.Containers of the above type are mostly designed for mobile use, therefore the transport dimensions of such containers be as small as possible to make it simple and inexpensive To allow transportation. These requirements are met known container with variable volume, in which either parts are expanded to increase the volume or drawer-like elements extended from the inside of the container become and thus increase the volume converted. The extended elements form extensions on the Container.

Ein solcher Container veränderlichen Volumens mit ausfahrbaren, schubladenähnlichen Einschüben ist aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster DE-U92 16 314 der Anmelderin bekannt. Im Vorgriff auf die Figurenbeschreibung wird auf die Fig. 6 und Fig. 7 verwiesen, um die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Problemstellung zu erläutern. Such a container of variable volume with extendable, Drawer-like inserts are from German Utility model DE-U92 16 314 of the applicant known. In anticipation the description of the figures is based on FIGS. 6 and Fig. 7 referred to the basis of the invention To explain the problem.

Gemäß Fig. 6, die eine perspektivische Prinzipdarstellung eines Containers 9 mit einem seitlichen Einschub zeigt, hat der Grundcontainer 91 eine Seitenwand 93, die von dem Einschub 92 durchdrungen ist. Wie der Pfeil A andeutet, kann der Einschub 92 entsprechend den beiden Pfeilrichtungen entweder in den Grundcontainer 91 eingefahren werden oder aus diesem herausgezogen werden. Die Bodenfläche 95 des Grundcontainers 91 und die Bodenfläche 96 des Einschubs 92 sind, wie die Fig. 6 deutlich zeigt, nicht auf der gleichen Ebene, so daß der Einschub 92 auf seiner dem Grundcontainer 91 abgewandten Seite mittels einer Stütze 94 abgestützt werden muß.6, which is a perspective schematic diagram shows a container 9 with a lateral insertion the base container 91 has a side wall 93 which extends from the insert 92 is permeated. As the arrow A indicates, the Insert 92 according to the two arrow directions either be moved into or out of the basic container 91 be pulled out. The bottom surface 95 of the basic container 91 and the bottom surface 96 of the insert 92 are, as shown in FIG. 6 clearly shows, not on the same level, so the Insert 92 on its facing away from the base container 91 Side must be supported by means of a support 94.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine schematische Schnittansicht durch den in Fig. 6 gezeigten Container 9. Aus dieser Darstellung wird deutlich, daß in dem von dem Container 9 umschlossenen Raum eine Stufe zwischen dem von dem Grundcontainer 91 begrenzten Raum und dem von dem Einschub 92 begrenzten Raum ausgebildet wird. Diese Stufe bildet einen Nachteil des herkömmlichen Containers, da, wie eingangs bereits erwähnt, Menschen innerhalb des Containers arbeiten oder wohnen sollen. Die Stufe stellt eine deutliche Beeinträchtigung der Arbeits- oder Lebensqualität dar, da diese Stufe stets ein Hindernis bzw. eine Stolperfalle darstellt.Fig. 7 shows a schematic sectional view through the in Fig. 6 shown container 9. From this illustration clearly that in the space enclosed by the container 9 a step between that delimited by the basic container 91 Space and the space delimited by the insert 92 becomes. This stage is a disadvantage of the conventional one Containers, since, as already mentioned, people inside of the container should work or live. The stage represents a significant impairment of work or Quality of life because this level is always an obstacle or represents a trip hazard.

Aus dem Dokument BE-A-491 328 ist ein Container mit veränderbaren Volumen bekannt, aus dem mindestens ein schubladenartiger Einschub ausfahrbar ist, um das Volumen des Containers zu vergrößern. Der Einschub kann so beschaffen sein, daß eine Außenfläche des Einschubs im eingefahrenen Zustand eine Außenfläche des Containers bildet. Der Einschub kann auf Rollen gelagert sein, um eine leichtes Verschieben des Einschubes zu ermöglichen. From document BE-A-491 328 is a container with changeable volume known from the at least one drawer-like insert is extendable to the volume of the Enlarge containers. The slot can be procured in this way be that an outer surface of the insert in the retracted State forms an outer surface of the container. The slot can be mounted on rollers for easy moving of the insert.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen herkömmlichen Container mit Einschüben derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß nach dem Ausfahren der Einschübe das Innere des Containers einen ebenen Boden hat.The invention has for its object a conventional Develop containers with inserts in such a way that according to the interior of the container when the slide-in units are extended has a flat floor.

Die Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen im Kennzeichen des Schutzanspruchs 1 gelöst. Erfindungsgemäß hat ein Einschubcontainer eine ausfahrbare und in vertikaler Richtung verstellbare Hubschiene, wobei der auszufahrende Einschub auf die in eine obere Position angehobenen Hubschiene verschiebbar ist, und wobei die Hubschiene nach dem Ausfahren des Einschubs in eine untere Position verstellbar ist, so daß der Boden des Einschubs bis auf das Niveau des Containerbodens absenkbar ist.The task comes with the features in the indicator of the protection claim 1 solved. According to the invention has a slide-in container an extendable and vertically adjustable lifting rail, with the slide-in to be extended to the one upper position raised lifting rail is slidable, and the lifting rail after extending the insert into a lower position is adjustable so that the bottom of the drawer can be lowered to the level of the container floor.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Containers mit einer aus dem Container ausfahrbaren Hubschiene kann auf einfache Weise die Höhe des Einschubs derart verändert werden, daß die Stauposition, in der der Boden des Einschubs auf dem Boden des Containers aufliegt in eine Benutzungsposition verfahren werden kann, wobei dann der Boden des Einschubs mit dem Boden des Containers abschließt.Due to the inventive design of the container an extendable lifting rail can be opened easily changed the height of the drawer be the stowed position in which the bottom of the drawer rests on the bottom of the container in a use position can be moved, then the bottom of the drawer with the bottom of the container.

Hieraus ergibt sich nicht nur der Vorteil, daß die gefährliche und die Lebensqualität beeinträchtigenden Stufe in der Benutzungsposition entfällt, sondern es wird auch eine bessere Abdichtung des Containers ermöglicht. Verglichen mit einer reinen Verschiebebewegung ist durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung ein weiterer Freiheitsgrad hinzugewonnen worden, so daß nun auch Dichtungen verwendet werden können, die in vertikaler Richtung beaufschlagt werden. Somit läßt eine erheblich bessere Abdichtung der Schnittstelle zwischen Container und Einschub erreichen.This not only has the advantage that the dangerous and the quality-impairing level in the There is no use position, but it also becomes one enables better sealing of the container. Compared to a pure displacement movement is due to the invention Design gained a further degree of freedom so that seals can now also be used, which are applied in the vertical direction. Thus leaves a significantly better seal of the interface between Reach container and slot.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die parallel zu dem Einschub in einen Unterbau des Containers einschiebbare Hubschiene von zwei ineinandergreifend angeordneten U-Profilen gebildet, deren Basis jeweils an dem Container bzw. an dem Boden des Einschubs anliegt. Eine zwischen diesen beiden U-Profilen angeordnete Spreiz- oder Hubeinrichtung verändert wahlweise den Abstand zwischen den U-Profilen. Die Hubeinrichtung ist vorzugsweise von dem Container abgewandten Stirnseite der Hubschiene zugänglich. Die Hubeinrichtung kann mechanisch, elektrisch oder hydraulisch betätigt werden, so daß in den fremdkraftgetriebenen Ausführungen auch automatische Betätigungssteuerungen oder Bedieneinrichtungen innerhalb des Containers zur Ansteuerung der Hubeinrichtung möglich sind. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention parallel to the insertion into a substructure of the container retractable lifting rail of two interlocking arranged U-profiles formed, the base of each on the container or lies against the bottom of the insert. One between these two U-profiles arranged spreading or lifting device optionally changes the distance between the U-profiles. The lifting device is preferably facing away from the container Front side of the lifting rail accessible. The lifting device can be mechanical, electrical or hydraulic are operated so that in the power-driven versions also automatic actuation controls or Control devices within the container for control the lifting device are possible.

Wird eine mechanische Hubeinrichtung verwendet, so sind beispielsweise Spindelantriebe, Hebelsysteme, Ketten- oder Zahnstangenantriebe einsetzbar. Alternativ dazu können auch Kniehebel, Scheren, Kulissenführungen, schiefe Ebenen, Keile oder dergleichen verwendet werden.If a mechanical lifting device is used, then for example spindle drives, lever systems, chain or Rack and pinion drives can be used. Alternatively, you can Knee levers, scissors, slide guides, inclined levels, wedges or the like can be used.

Natürlich können auch Kombinationen mechanischer, elektrischer und/oder hydraulischer Antriebselemente für die Hubeinrichtung verwendet werden.Of course, combinations of mechanical and electrical and / or hydraulic drive elements for the lifting device be used.

The rollers can of course, with appropriate sliding devices such as slide rails, Sliding body or the like can be replaced. At correspondingly low weight of the inserts can also be opened completely dispense with these sliding devices or rollers become. The roles or equivalent facilities must also not on the respective floor 21 or 31 of the plug-in units 2 or 3 can be arranged, solutions are also possible at which the inserts on corresponding rolling or sliding devices guided on the roof of container 1 or on the roof 22 of the insert 2 are held displaceably.

    Ferner ist in Fig. 1 eine Tür 4 in dem Einschub 3 angedeutet, diese Tür 4 ist selbstverständlich optional, und hier nur dargestellt, um die Verschiebebewegung des Einschubs 3 gegenüber dem Container 1 zu verdeutlichen.Furthermore, a door 4 in the insert 3 is indicated in FIG. 1, this door 4 is of course optional, and only here shown to oppose the sliding movement of the insert 3 to clarify the container 1.

    In Fig. 2 ist eine Zwischenstufe des Ausfahrens des Einschubs 3 aus dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Container 1 dargestellt. Die Verschiebebewegung des Einschubs 2 erfolgt analog, so daß hier auf eine Darstellung und Beschreibung der Verschiebebewegung des Einschubs 2 verzichtet werden kann. Ausgehend vom in Fig. 1 gezeigten Zustand gelangt man zu dem in Fig. 2 gezeigten Zustand, indem man zunächst die Hubschiene 5 aus dem Unterbau 13 des Containers 1 parallel zur Verschieberichtung des Einschubs 3 ausfährt. Anschließend wird die in der Hubschiene 5 angeordnete Hubeinrichtung betätigt, so daß die Hubschiene die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Stellung einnimmt. Bei der Betätigung der Hubeinrichtung wird das obere Teil 52 der Hubschiene mit seiner obersten Fläche auf die gleiche Höhe wie der Boden 21 des Einschubs 2 verfahren, so daß die Rollen 33 des Einschubs 3 beim Ausfahren dieses Einschubs leicht von dem Boden 21 des Einschubs 2 auf diese Fläche aufgleiten können.In Fig. 2 is an intermediate stage of extending the insert 3 from the container 1 shown in FIG. 1. The Sliding movement of the insert 2 takes place analogously, so that here on a representation and description of the displacement movement of the slot 2 can be dispensed with. Outgoing 1 leads to that in FIG. 2 shown state, by first removing the lifting rail 5 the substructure 13 of the container 1 parallel to the direction of displacement of the insert 3 extends. Then the in the lifting rail 5 arranged lifting device actuated so that the lifting rail assumes the position shown in FIG. 2. At the actuation of the lifting device, the upper part 52 of the Lifting rail with its top surface at the same height proceed as the bottom 21 of the insert 2 so that the rollers 33 of the drawer 3 when extending this drawer slightly from the bottom 21 of the insert 2 slide onto this surface can.

    Im vorliegenden Beispiel ist die Hubeinrichtung, die das obere Teil 52 der Hubschiene 2 von dem unteren Teil 51 in vertikaler Richtung abspreizt ein spindelgetriebenes Hebelsystem, bei dem das vertikale Abspreizen des oberen Teils 52 von dem unteren Teil 51 durch entsprechende Drehung der Spindel 53 erzeugt wird. Der in dieser Figur nur skizzenhaft dargestellte Spindeltrieb ist in den Fig. 4 und 5 im Detail gezeigt, so daß eine Beschreibung dieser Hubeinrichtung unter Bezugnahme auf diese Figuren zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erfolgt. In the present example, the lifting device that upper part 52 of the lifting rail 2 from the lower part 51 in a spindle-driven lever system spreads in the vertical direction, in which the vertical spreading of the upper part 52 from the lower part 51 by appropriate rotation of the Spindle 53 is generated. The only sketchy in this figure shown spindle drive is in Figs. 4 and 5 in detail shown so that a description of this lifting device under Reference to these figures is made at a later date.

    Wie aus der Fig. 2 des weiteren hervorgeht, ist der innerhalb des Unterbaus 13 des Containers 1 ausgebildete Hohlraum 58 zur Aufnahme der Hubschiene 5 gleichzeitig als Führung dieser Hubschiene gestaltet. Der untere Teil 51 der Hubschiene 5 gegenüber dem oberen Teil 52 der Hubschiene in Richtung auf den Container 1 verlängert, so daß dieses verlängerte Ende einen in dem Hohlraum 58 geführten Zapfen bildet. Mit diesem Zapfen ist die Hubschiene 5 im ausgefahrenen Zustand in vertikaler Richtung am Container 1 ausreichend abgestützt, so daß das Gewicht des ausgefahrene Einschubs 3 von der Hubschiene gehalten ist, ohne daß eine Abstützung des Einschubs 3 auf der Aufstellfläche, z.B. dem Erdboden erforderlich ist. Ebenso ist keine Abstützung des dem Container 1 abgewandten Endes der Hubschiene 5 erforderlich, jedoch kann, insbesondere wenn der Einschub 3 zusätzlich mit schweren Geräten belastet werden soll, sicherheitshalber eine solche Abstützung des unteren Teils 51 der Hubschiene 5 erfolgen.As can further be seen from FIG. 2, this is within of the substructure 13 of the container 1 formed cavity 58 for receiving the lifting rail 5 at the same time as a guide for this Lifting rail designed. The lower part 51 of the lifting rail 5 towards the upper part 52 of the lifting rail in the direction of the container 1 extended so that this extended end forms a pin guided in the cavity 58. With this Pin is the lifting rail 5 in the extended state adequately supported in the vertical direction on the container 1, so that the weight of the extended insert 3 from the lifting rail is held without the insert being supported 3 on the installation surface, e.g. the ground is required. Likewise, there is no support for the container 1 facing away End of the lifting rail 5 required, but can, in particular if the slot 3 also with heavy equipment such a support is to be loaded for safety reasons of the lower part 51 of the lifting rail 5.

    Ferner sei noch auf das am Dach des Containers 1 angeordnete Dichtelement 14 hingewiesen, welches während der gesamten bisherigen Verschiebebewegung des Einschubs 3 mit dessen Dach 32 in Eingriff verbleibt. Dadurch wird eine Verbindung des Innenraum des Containers 1 und der Einschübe 2, 3 mit der Umgebung während des Aufstellens, d.h. während des Ausfahrens der Einschübe weitgehend vermieden, so daß während des Ausfahrens beispielsweise weder Regen, Schnee noch Staub in den Container eindringen. Zusätzlich kann das Innere des Containers während des Ausfahrens der Einschübe mit einem gegenüber der Umgebung erhöhten Innendruck beaufschlagt werden, so daß ein Eindringen der umgebenden Atmosphäre verhindert ist.Furthermore, it should be arranged on the roof of the container 1 Sealing element 14 pointed out, which during the entire previous movement of the slide 3 with its roof 32 remains engaged. This will connect the Interior of the container 1 and the bays 2, 3 with the environment during installation, i.e. while extending the inserts largely avoided, so that during extension for example, no rain, snow or dust in the Penetrate container. In addition, the inside of the container while extending the slots with one opposite increased internal pressure are applied to the environment, so that penetration of the surrounding atmosphere is prevented.

    In dem in Fig. 2 gezeigten Zustand kann das schwenkbare Element 15 heruntergeklappt werden, so daß es den in Fig. 3 gezeigten Zustand annimmt. Durch das schwenkbare Element 15 wird die beim Absenken des Einschubs 3 entstehende Lücke zwischen dem Dach 32 des Einschubs 3 und dem Dach des Containers 1 verschlossen werden. Zur zusätzlichen Abdichtung kann das schwenkbare Element 15 mit einer Magnetdichtung versehen sein, die nach dem Verschwenken des schwenkbaren Elements 15 an dem Dach 32 des Einschubs 3 haftet. Solche Magnetdichtungen sind aus einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen bekannt; beispielhaft sei hier nur der herkömmliche Haushaltskühlschrank erwähnt. Durch die Verschwenkbare Ausbildung des schwenkbaren Elements 15 verbleibt das Dach des Containers während des gesamten Ausfahrvorgangs geschlossen. Alternativ zu dieser Ausführung kann natürlich auch das Dichtelement 14 als ein teleskopartig ausfahrbares Dichtelement gestaltet werden, das während der Verschiebe- und Absenkbewegung des Einschubs 3 die Lücke zwischen dem Dach des Containers 1 und dem Dach 32 des Einschubs 3 verschließt.In the state shown in Fig. 2, the pivotable Element 15 can be folded down so that it is the one in FIG shown state assumes. Through the pivotable element 15 becomes the gap created when the insert 3 is lowered between the roof 32 of the drawer 3 and the roof of the container 1 can be closed. For additional sealing can the pivotable element 15 with a magnetic seal be provided after the pivoting of the pivotable Elements 15 adheres to the roof 32 of the insert 3. Such Magnetic seals are used in a variety of applications known; only the conventional one is exemplary Household refrigerator mentioned. Through the pivotable Forming the pivotable element 15 remains the roof of the container during the entire extension process closed. As an alternative to this version, of course also the sealing element 14 as a telescopically extendable Sealing element can be designed, which during the sliding and lowering movement of the insert 3 the gap between the Roof of the container 1 and the roof 32 of the insert 3 closes.

    Die vorhergehenden Ausführungen bezüglich der Abdichtung zwischen dem Dach des Containers 1 und dem des Einschubs 3 gelten natürlich analog für das Dach 22 des Einschubs 2 bzw. für das diesem Einschub 2 zugeordnete Dichtelement 14 und das schwenkbare Element 15.The previous statements regarding sealing between the roof of the container 1 and that of the insert 3 of course apply analogously to the roof 22 of the slot 2 or for this insert 2 associated sealing element 14 and pivotable element 15.

    Fig. 3 zeigt den Zustand, in dem der Einschub 3 vollständig ausgefahren und abgesenkt ist. Wie aus dieser Fig. deutlich zu erkennen ist, sind der Boden 11 des Containers 1 und der Boden 31 des Einschubs 3 auf gleicher Höhe, so daß die bei herkömmlichen Containers mit Einschüben übliche Stufe entfällt.Fig. 3 shows the state in which the insert 3 is complete is extended and lowered. As is clear from this figure can be seen, the bottom 11 of the container 1 and Bottom 31 of the slot 3 at the same level, so that the Conventional containers with the usual level are not required.

    Des weiteren zeigt Fig. 3 ein Dichtelement 17 zwischen den beiden Böden 11 und 31, wobei das Dichtelement 17 durch die Verschiebe- und Absenkbewegung des Einschubs 3 sowohl an der Unterseite des Bodens 31 als auch in dem Stoß zwischen den Böden 11 und 31 dichtend anliegen kann. Somit wird wegen der Abdichtung in zwei Raumrichtungen eine verbesserte Dichtwirkung zwischen Einschub 3 und Container 1 erreicht.3 shows a sealing element 17 between the two floors 11 and 31, the sealing element 17 through the Sliding and lowering movement of the insert 3 both on the Bottom of the bottom 31 as well as in the joint between the Floors 11 and 31 can be sealed. Thus, because of the Sealing in two spatial directions an improved sealing effect reached between slot 3 and container 1.

    In dem in Fig. 3 gezeigten Zustand die Hubschiene 5 wieder in ihrem Ausgangszustand, so daß bei entsprechender Ausbildung des oberen Teils und des unteren Teils der Hubschiene 5, beispielsweise als einander übergreifende U-Profile, die in der Hubschiene 5 angeordnete Hubeinrichtung geschützt aufgenommen ist. So werden, beispielsweise bei längerer Standzeit des Containers im ausgefahrenen Zustand, eine Verschmutzung der Hubeinrichtung und damit verbundene Funktionsbeeinträchtigungen der Hubeinrichtung vermieden.In the state shown in FIG. 3, the lifting rail 5 is in again their initial state, so that with appropriate training the upper part and the lower part of the lifting rail 5, for example as overlapping U-profiles that in the Lifting rail 5 arranged lifting device protected is. For example, if the Containers in the extended state, pollution of the Lifting device and associated functional impairments avoided the lifting device.

    In Fig. 3 ist weiterhin eine Stützeinrichtung 7 mit einem Stützfuß 71 gezeigt, die optional vorgesehen werden kann, um das dem Container 1 abgewandte Ende der Hubschiene 5 zusätzlich am Erdboden abzustützen. Zweckmäßigerweise kann, wenn eine solche Stützeinrichtung 7 vorgesehen ist, diese gleichzeitig eine Betätigungseinrichtung für eine mechanische Hubeinrichtung in der Hubschiene 5 aufnehmen. So könnte beispielsweise eine Kurbel (nicht dargestellt) an der Stützeinrichtung vorgesehen sein, mit der wahlweise die Hubeinrichtung in der Hubschiene 5 oder der Stützfuß 71 betätigbar ist.In Fig. 3 is a support device 7 with a Support leg 71 shown, which can optionally be provided to the end of the lifting rail 5 facing away from the container 1 additionally supported on the ground. Conveniently, if such a support device 7 is provided, this at the same time an actuating device for a mechanical lifting device take up in the lifting rail 5. So could for example a crank (not shown) on the support device be provided with the lifting device can be actuated in the lifting rail 5 or the support foot 71 is.

    Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen zwei Ansichten eines Ausführungsbeispiels der Hubeinrichtung der Hubschiene 5. Gemäß Fig. 4 hat die Hubschiene eine oberes Teil 52 und ein unteres teil 51 die als U-Profile ausgebildet sind. Die U-Profile sind so angeordnet, daß die offenen Enden des U einander zugewandt sind. Auf der Innenfläche der Basis des U-Profils des oberen Teils 52 rollt eine Rolle 54 ab, die über einen ersten Hebel 55 mit einer auf der Innenfläche der Basis des U-Profils des unteren Teils 51 abrollenden Rolle 551 verbunden ist. Ein mittlerer Bereich des ersten Hebels 55 ist gelenkig mit einem Ende eines zweiten Hebels 56 verbunden, dessen anderes Ende mit einem zweiten Block 561 gelenkig verbunden ist. 4 and 5 show two views of an embodiment the lifting device of the lifting rail 5. According to FIG. 4, the Lifting rail an upper part 52 and a lower part 51 the are designed as U-profiles. The U profiles are arranged so that the open ends of the U face each other. On the inner surface of the base of the U-profile of the upper part 52 rolls a roll 54, which also has a first lever 55 one on the inner surface of the base of the U-profile of the lower one Part 51 rolling roller 551 is connected. A medium one The area of the first lever 55 is articulated with one end a second lever 56 connected, the other end with a second block 561 is articulated.

    Das eine Ende des ersten Hebels 55, das mit der Rolle 551 versehen ist, ist mit einem ersten Block 552 gelenkig verbunden, wobei der erste Bloch eine Spindelmutter ausgebildet hat, die mit einer sich längs der Hubschiene erstreckenden Spindel 53 in Eingriff ist. Der mit dem zweiten Hebel 56 verbundene zweite Block 561 ist ebenfalls von der Spindel 53 durchgriffen, der zweite Block 561 hat jedoch kein als Spindelmutter dienendes Gewinde, sondern lediglich eine glatte Bohrung zur radialen Führung der Spindel.One end of the first lever 55, which is connected to the roller 551 is articulated to a first block 552, wherein the first Bloch is a spindle nut has that with a extending along the lifting rail Spindle 53 is engaged. The one connected to the second lever 56 second block 561 is also from spindle 53 reached, but the second block 561 has no as Spindle nut serving thread, but only one smooth bore for radial guidance of the spindle.

    Bei einer Drehung der Spindel 53 um ihre Längsachse wird der erste Block 552, der über die Spindelmutter mit der Spindel 53 in Eingriff ist, entsprechend der Drehrichtung der Spindel in Richtung auf den feststehenden zweiten Block 561 verschoben, bzw. von diesem wegbewegt. Durch diese Relativbewegung zwischen den beiden Blöcken 552 und 561 wird der erste Hebel 55 von dem zweiten Hebel 56 um die Rolle 551 verschwenkt. Wird der erste Hebel 55 aufgerichtet, so wird das obere Teil 52 der Hubschiene 5 angehoben, bei der entsprechend umgekehrten Bewegung erfolgt ein Absenken des oberen Teils 52. Die gewählte Darstellung mit den Rollen 54 und 551 ist nur eine möglich Ausführungsform, natürlich können die Rollen ebenso durch gleitende Führungen ersetzt werden. Ebenso kann natürlich auch der zweite Block 561 gegenüber dem ersten Block 552 verschieblich, d.h. zum Eingriff mit der Spindel 53 ausgebildet sein. Es ist auch möglich, die Rolle 54 am oberen Ende des ersten Hebels 55 durch eine gelenkige unmittelbare Verbindung des ersten Hebels 55 mit dem oberen Teil 52 der Hubschiene zu ersetzen. Bei entsprechender Festlegung/nicht Festlegung der anderen Enden der beiden Hebel 55 und 56 an dem unteren Teil 51 kann damit eine zusätzliche Horizontalkomponente der Bewegung des oberen Teils 52 der Hubschiene 5 erreicht werden, eine Bewegung, die z.B. zur Bewegung eines Einschubs relativ zu einer Dichtung am Container oder zu anderen Zwecken wie Ausklink- oder Einklinkbewegungen verwendet werden kann.When the spindle 53 rotates about its longitudinal axis, the first block 552, which over the spindle nut with the spindle 53 is engaged in accordance with the direction of rotation of the spindle shifted towards the fixed second block 561, or moved away from it. Through this relative movement between the two blocks 552 and 561 first lever 55 is pivoted by the second lever 56 around the roller 551. If the first lever 55 is raised, it will upper part 52 of the lifting rail 5 raised, at the corresponding reverse movement, the upper part 52. The selected representation with the rollers 54 and 551 is only one possible embodiment, of course can also replace the rollers with sliding guides become. Of course, the second block 561 can also be used displaceable with respect to the first block 552, i.e. for intervention be formed with the spindle 53. It is also possible, the roller 54 at the upper end of the first lever 55 through an articulated direct connection of the first To replace lever 55 with the upper part 52 of the lifting rail. With appropriate determination / not determination of the others Ends of the two levers 55 and 56 on the lower part 51 can thus an additional horizontal component of the movement of the Upper part 52 of the lifting rail 5 can be reached, a Movement e.g. to move an insert relative to a seal on the container or for other purposes such as Notching or notching movements can be used.

    Auch ist der von der Spindel zu deren radialer Führung durchgriffene Block optional; der entsprechende Hebel kann natürlich auch unmittelbar gelenkig an dem unteren Teil 51 befestigt sein. Der von der Spindel durchgriffene Block kann nicht nur zur radialen Führung der Spindel dienen, bei einer entsprechenden Gestaltung der Spindel und des Blocks kann dieser auch gleichzeitig das Widerlager in axialer Richtung der Spindel bilden. Ferner ist es Möglich, bei entsprechender Gestaltung der Spindel gegenläufige Gewinde und eine entsprechende Spindelmutter in jedem Block vorzusehen, so daß eine beschleunigte Relativbewegung zwischen den beiden Blöcken erreicht wird. Es ist weiterhin möglich das beschriebene Hebelsystem durch relativ zueinander verschiebbare schiefe Ebenen oder Keile zu ersetzen, diese Wahl richtet sich nach den zu hebenden Gewichten, den geforderten Hubhöhen oder dergleichen. Ferner sei noch erwähnt, daß die Spindel 53 manuell oder mittels Fremdkraft betätigt werden kann. Die Fremdkraft kann elektrischer oder hydraulischer Natur sein; dies richtet sich nach den jeweiligen Randbedingungen. Die Wirkung der Spindel, nämlich die oben beschriebene Relativbewegung zu erzeugen kann natürlich auch durch entsprechend angeordnete Hydraulikzylinder erreicht werden. Auch können zwischen dem oberen und dem unteren Teil der Hubschiene Hydraulikzylinder vorgesehen werden, die unmittelbar jeweils an dem unteren und dem oberen Teil angreifen und so die beiden Teile der Hubschiene auseinanderdrücken.Also is the one penetrated by the spindle for its radial guidance Block optional; the corresponding lever can naturally also directly articulated on the lower part 51 be attached. The block penetrated by the spindle can not only serve for radial guidance of the spindle in one appropriate design of the spindle and the block this also simultaneously the abutment in the axial direction form the spindle. Furthermore, it is possible with appropriate Design of the spindle counter-rotating thread and a corresponding one Provide spindle nut in each block so that an accelerated relative movement between the two Blocks is reached. It is still possible to do the described Lever system by relatively displaceable To replace inclined planes or wedges, this choice is aimed according to the weights to be lifted, the required lifting heights or similar. It should also be mentioned that the spindle 53rd can be operated manually or by external force. The External power can be electrical or hydraulic in nature; this depends on the respective boundary conditions. The Effect of the spindle, namely the relative movement described above can of course also be generated accordingly arranged hydraulic cylinders can be reached. Can too between the upper and lower part of the lifting rail Hydraulic cylinders are provided, each immediately attack on the lower and the upper part and so the Push the two parts of the lifting rail apart.

    Fig. 5 zeigt eine Vorderansicht der Hubschiene aus Fig. 5, wobei in dieser Darstellung die Blickrichtung mit der Längsrichtung der Spindel (nicht dargestellt) fluchtet. Aus diese Fig. wird noch einmal deutlich, wie die U-Profile des oberen 52 und des unteren Teils 51 angeordnet sind, so daß die Flanken der U-Profile im abgesenkten Zustand der Hubschiene einander überlappen. Die damit erreichte Abdichtung des Hubschieneninnern bzw. der Hubeinrichtung gegen Umwelteinflüsse wurde bereits in der Beschreibung der Fig. 3 erwähnt, so daß hier auf eine Wiederholung verzichtet werden kann.5 shows a front view of the lifting rail from FIG. 5, in this representation, the viewing direction with the longitudinal direction the spindle (not shown) is aligned. From this Fig. Is once again clear how the U-profiles of the upper 52 and the lower part 51 are arranged so that the Flanks of the U-profiles when the lifting rail is lowered overlap each other. The sealing of the inside of the lifting rail achieved with this or the lifting device against environmental influences was already mentioned in the description of FIG. 3, so that Repetition can be dispensed with here.
