Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lastaufnahmemittel für normierte Ladungseinheiten, insbesondere Container und Wechselbehälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. The invention relates to a load suspension device for standardized cargo units, especially containers and swap bodies according to the preamble of Claim 1.

Ein Gattungsgemäßer Stand der Technik wird in der DE 92 14 377 U1 gesehen, aus diesem Dokument ist ein Fahrzeug zum Umsetzen und Transportieren von Containern bekannt, das einen Ausleger aufweist, an dessen freiem Ende ein Lastaufnahmemittel aufgehängt ist. Die Aufhängung des Lastaufnahmemittels erfolgt über ein Anschlußelement, das über eine vertikale Achse mit dem freien Ende des Auslegers verbunden ist. An dem dem Ausleger abgewandten Ende des Anschlußelementes ist eine Drehvorrichtung vorgesehen, um das Lastaufnahmemittel um eine vertikale Achse schwenken zu können. An der dem Anschlußelement gegenüberliegenden Seite der Drehvorrichtung ist eine Zwischentraverse angeordnet, an der über Hydraulikzylinder mit annähernd vertikalen Wirkrichtungen ein Rahmen des Lastaufnahmemittels aufgehängt ist. Über die Hydraulikzylinder ist der Rahmen des Lastaufnahmemittels gegenüber dem Zwischenträger neigbar.A generic state of the art is in seen from DE 92 14 377 U1, from this document a vehicle Known for moving and transporting containers that have a boom has, at the free end of a load suspension device is suspended. The The load suspension device is suspended via a connecting element which is connected to a vertical axis is connected to the free end of the boom. On that End of the connecting element facing away from the boom is a rotating device provided to pivot the load handler about a vertical axis can. On the side of the rotating device opposite the connecting element an intermediate crossbeam is arranged on the hydraulic cylinder with approximately vertical directions of action a frame of the load handler is suspended. about the hydraulic cylinder is the frame of the load handler opposite the Intermediate bracket can be tilted.

Diese Art der Aufhängung des Lastaufnahmemittels ermöglicht zwar eine Drehung des Lastaufnahmemittels um eine vertikale Achse sowie eine leichte Neigbarkeit aus seiner horizontalen Lage heraus, jedoch wird auch hier durch die außerhalb der Außenkontur des Lastaufnahmemittels angeordneten Anordnung der Drehvorrichtung und der Hydraulikzylinder nur eine relativ hohe Bauhöhe erreicht.This type of suspension of the load handling device allows a rotation of the Lifting device around a vertical axis and easy inclination from its horizontal position out, however, is also due to the outside of the outer contour the load handling device arranged arrangement of the rotating device and Hydraulic cylinder only reached a relatively high height.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Lastaufnahmemittel mit Vorrichtungen zum Drehen und Neigen der Ladungseinheiten zu schaffen, daß eine kompakte Bauweise, insbesondere eine geringe Bauhöhe aufweist.Starting from this prior art, the invention is based on the object a load handler with devices for turning and tilting the Charge units to create a compact design, especially one has low overall height.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem gattungsgemäßen Lastaufnahmemittel durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 12 angegeben. This task is performed by a load lifting device of the generic type characterizing features of claim 1 solved. Advantageous configurations the invention are specified in claims 2 to 12.

Erfindungsgemäß wird durch die Anordnung der Zwischentraverse und der Hydraulikzylinder weitestgehend innerhalb der Kontur des Rahmens - in der Drauf- und Seitenansicht gesehen - erreicht, daß die Bauhöhe des gesamten Lastaufnahmemittels minimiert und eine starre Führung der Ladungseinheiten erreicht wird. Hierdurch ist ein Einsatz dieses Lastaufnahmemittels für einen Umschlag von Ladungseinheiten, insbesondere von Containern und Wechselbehältern von oder auf Güterwaggons unterhalb eines Oberleitungs-Fahrdrahtes einer elektrifizierten Eisenbahnstrecke möglich. Durch die Anordnung der Hydraulikzylinder seitlich neben dem Anschlußelement, wodurch eine längsgestreckte Ausbildung des Zwischenrahmens und seine Anpassung an die Innenkontur des Rahmens bedingt ist, werden die vorgenannten Vorteile optimiert. Unter Beibehaltung der kompakten Bauweise kann auch die Drehvorrichtung innerhalb der Außenkontur des Rahmens angeordnet werden.According to the invention, the arrangement of the intermediate cross member and the Hydraulic cylinders largely within the contour of the frame - in the top and bottom Seen from the side - achieved that the overall height of the whole Load suspension means minimized and rigid guidance of the load units achieved becomes. This makes it possible to use this load handling device for handling Cargo units, especially containers and swap bodies from or to Freight cars below an overhead contact wire of an electrified one Railway line possible. Due to the arrangement of the hydraulic cylinders on the side the connecting element, whereby an elongated formation of the Intermediate frame and its adaptation to the inner contour of the frame is conditional, the aforementioned advantages are optimized. While maintaining the compact The rotating device can also be constructed within the outer contour of the frame to be ordered.

Die längsgestreckte Zwischentraverse, die über das Anschlußelement mit einem spielarm in dessen Längsrichtung verschiebbaren und starr ausgebildeten Lastführungsarm verbunden ist, erweist sich als vorteilhaft, da hierdurch die Drehvorrichtung zwischen diesen beiden Bauelementen angeordnet werden kann und platzsparend an den Randbereichen der Zwischentraverse die Hydraulikzylinder angreifen können.The elongated cross member, which over the connection element with a Low play in the longitudinal direction movable and rigidly trained Load control arm is connected, proves to be advantageous, since this Rotary device can be arranged between these two components and the hydraulic cylinders save space on the edge areas of the intermediate crossmember can attack.

Bevorzugt erfolgt der Aufbau des Rahmens aus zwei Längstraversen, die über zwei Querträger miteinander verbunden sind, so daß diese einen inneren Rahmenbereich begrenzen. Hierdurch ist das Lastaufnahmemittel besonders stabil und eignet sich für den Anschluß an einen starren Lastführungsarm. Eine Ausbildung der Längstraversen als Kastenträger gestattet, die als Greifer ausgebildeten Befestigungsmittel für die Ladungseinheiten, wenn diese über ausfahrbare Auslegerarme zum Einstellen der Greifer auf verschiedene Längen der Ladungseinheiten mit dem Rahmen verbunden sind, teleskopartig innerhalb der Längstraversen zu führen. Die Stabilität und Lagegenauigkeit der an den Auslegerarmen befestigten Greifer wird vorteilhafterweise durch die Anordnung eines Kopfträgers zwischen den dem Rahmen abgewandten Enden der Auslegerarme verbessert.The frame is preferably constructed from two longitudinal cross members, which have two Cross members are interconnected so that they have an inner frame area limit. This makes the load suspension device particularly stable and suitable for the connection to a rigid load control arm. A training of the longitudinal trusses allowed as a box girder, the fastener designed as a gripper for the Load units if these have extendable cantilever arms for adjusting the Grippers connected to the frame at different lengths of the load units are to be guided telescopically within the longitudinal beams. The stability and Positional accuracy of the grippers attached to the cantilever arms is advantageous by the arrangement of a head support between those facing away from the frame Improved ends of the boom arms.

Als besonders vorteilhaft erweist sich die Anordnung von vier Hydraulikzylindern zwischen der Zwischentraverse des Anschlußelements und den Querträgern des Rahmens, wobei deren Anlenkpunkte jeweils auf der Gehäuse- und Stangenseite des Hydraulikzylinders in den Eckpunkten eines gedachten Vierecks angeordnet sind. Hierdurch ist eine Neigung des Lastaufnahmemittels in einem Bereich von etwa +/- 5°-ausgehend von der horizontalen Lage des Rahmens - zu allen Seiten des Rahmens möglich. Durch Neigbarkeit des Rahmens können vorteilhafterweise mit dem Lastaufnahmemittel auch Ladungseinheiten die nicht genau horizontal abgestellt sind sicher aufgenommen werden.The arrangement of four hydraulic cylinders has proven to be particularly advantageous between the intermediate cross member of the connecting element and the cross members of the Frame, the articulation points on the housing and rod side of the Hydraulic cylinders are arranged in the corner points of an imaginary square. This results in an inclination of the load suspension device in a range of approximately +/- 5 ° from the horizontal position of the frame - to all sides of the frame possible. By tilting the frame can advantageously with the Load suspension devices also load units that are not placed exactly horizontally be taken safely.

Die Ausrichtung der Hydraulikzylinder mit ihrer Wirkrichtung bei einem Rahmen in horizontaler Stellung weitestgehend in Vertikalrichtung erlaubt neben den Ausgleichsbewegungen des Lastaufnahmemittels zum Angleichen an schiefgestellte Ladungseinheiten auch deren vertikales Anheben. Somit ist es beispielsweise möglich, die Ladungseinheiten aus den Zentrierdornen von Tragwagen, wie Eisenbahnwaggons und Kraftfahrzeugen, vertikal freizuheben, ohne beispielsweise den starren Lastführungsarm der Hebeeinrichtung bewegen zu müssen. Das Freiheben der Ladungseinheiten erfolgt mit einem Hub von bis zu 400 mm und kann somit unabhängig von der Bewegung des Lastführungsarmes schnell und genau ausgeführt werden.The orientation of the hydraulic cylinders with their direction of action in a frame in horizontal position largely in the vertical direction allowed next to the Compensating movements of the load handler to adjust to crooked ones Load units also lifting them vertically. It is therefore possible, for example, the load units from the centering mandrels of wagons, such as railway wagons and motor vehicles to lift vertically without, for example, the rigid Load guide arm of the lifting device to have to move. The release of the Load units take place with a stroke of up to 400 mm and can therefore performed quickly and accurately regardless of the movement of the load control arm become.

Vorteilhafterweise ist es durch die Aufhängung des Rahmens über die vier Hydraulikzylinder an der Zwischentraverse möglich, den Rahmen in der eingefahrenen Stellung der Hydraulikzylinder und somit im angehobenen Zustand gegenüber der Zwischentraverse zu verriegeln, so daß die erforderliche Steifigkeit des gesamten Lastaufnahmemittels beim Einlagern der Ladungseinheiten unterhalb des Oberleitungs-Fahrdrahtes gewährleistet ist. Hingegen ist es bei der Aufnahme bzw. dem Aufsetzen des Lastaufnahmemittles auf die Ladungseinheit erforderlich, daß etwaige Ungenauigkeiten der Lage der Ladungseinheiten z. B. Schiefstellung, die ein Einfahren der insbesondere als Twist-Locks ausgebildeten Greifer in die komplementär ausgebildeten Öffnungen an den Ladungseinheiten erschwert, dadurch erleichtert wird, daß der Rahmen im abgesenkten Zustand schwimmend bzw. leicht pendelnd über die Hydraulikzylinder an der Zwischentraverse angelenkt ist, so daß etwaige Lageungenauigkeiten der Ladungseinheiten ausgeglichen werden können.It is advantageous due to the suspension of the frame over the four Hydraulic cylinder on the intermediate crossbar possible, the frame in the retracted Position of the hydraulic cylinder and thus in the raised state compared to the Intermediate crossbar to lock, so that the required rigidity of the entire Load suspension device when storing the load units below the Overhead contact wire is guaranteed. On the other hand, when recording or the placement of the load handler on the load unit required that any inaccuracies in the position of the cargo units z. B. Misalignment, the one Retraction of the grippers, which are designed in particular as twist locks, into the complementary ones formed openings on the cargo units difficult, thereby facilitating that the frame in the lowered state floating or slightly swinging over the Hydraulic cylinder is articulated on the intermediate crossbar, so that any Inaccuracies in the position of the cargo units can be compensated.

Die Figur 1 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Lastaufnahmemittel, das an einem starren Lastführungsarm 1 aufgehängt ist. Der Lastführungsarm 1 ist über eine als Achse dienende Bolzenverbindung 2, die eine horizontale Achse aufweist, schwenkbar mit einem an dem Lastaufnahmemittel angeordneten Anschlußelement 3 verbunden, das als Anschlußplatte ausgebildet ist, an der eine Zwischentraverse 4 befestigt ist. An der Anschlußplatte 3 ist über Laschen 5 der Lastführungsarm 1 angelenkt und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite über eine Drehvorrichtung 6, die insbesondere als Kugeldrehverbindung ausgebildet ist, mit der Zwischentraverse 4 verbunden. Der Antrieb der Drehvorrichtung 6 erfolgt über einen nicht dargestellten Getriebemotor, der auf eine Außenverzahnung der Kugeldrehverbindung wirkt. Die Anschlußplatte 3 und die Zwischentraverse 4 befinden sich bei horizontal ausgerichtetem Lastaufnahmemittel ebenfalls in einer horizontalen Lage. Die Zwischentraverse 4 ist an ihren in Richtung der Längserstreckung des Containers 7 weisenden Seiten über jeweils zwei Hydraulikzylinder 8 mit einem Rahmen 9 des Lastaufnahmemittels verbunden und weist in der Seitenansicht gesehen eine flachwinklige Form mit nach oben weisenden Enden auf, so daß einerseits die Drehvorrichtung 6 von oben und die Hydraulikzylinder 8 von unten in die Außenkontur des Rahmens 9 eintauchen können. Die Hydraulikzylinder 8 sind in der Seitenansicht gesehen hierbei weitestgehend innerhalb der Außenkontur des Rahmens 9 angeordnet. Darüber hinaus werden durch die Beabstandung der Hydraulikzylinder 8 von dem Anschlußelement 3 über die Zwischentraverse 4 gute Führungseigenschaften für den Rahmen 9 erreicht.FIG. 1 shows a load suspension device according to the invention, which is rigid Load control arm 1 is suspended. The load control arm 1 is an axis serving bolt connection 2, which has a horizontal axis, pivotable with a connecting element 3 arranged on the load suspension means connected to the is designed as a connecting plate to which an intermediate cross member 4 is attached. At the Connection plate 3 is articulated via tabs 5 of the load control arm 1 and on the opposite side via a rotating device 6, which in particular as Ball swivel connection is formed, connected to the intermediate cross member 4. The The rotating device 6 is driven by a gear motor (not shown) acts on an external toothing of the ball slewing ring. The connection plate 3 and the intermediate crossbeam 4 are in a horizontally aligned manner Load suspension devices also in a horizontal position. The intermediate cross member 4 is on their sides pointing in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the container 7 two hydraulic cylinders 8 each with a frame 9 of the load handling device connected and seen in the side view with a flat-angled shape ends pointing above, so that on the one hand the rotating device 6 from above and the Hydraulic cylinder 8 can dip into the outer contour of the frame 9 from below. The hydraulic cylinders 8 are largely seen in the side view arranged within the outer contour of the frame 9. In addition, through the spacing of the hydraulic cylinder 8 from the connecting element 3 via the Intermediate cross member 4 good guiding properties for the frame 9 achieved.

Über die Hydraulikzylinder 8, die jeweils einen Hub von etwa 400 mm aufweisen, ist es möglich, den Rahmen zur Aufnahme der Container 7 in einem Bereich von +/- 5° ausgehend von einer horizontalen Lage zu neigen sowie gegenüber der Zwischentraverse 4 anzuheben bzw. abzusenken. Hierdurch können von dem Lastaufnahmemittel auch leicht schräg abgestellte Container sicher aufgenommen werden bzw. auch umgekehrt, Ladungseinheiten auf nicht schräg stehende Tragwagen abgesetzt werden. It is via the hydraulic cylinders 8, each of which has a stroke of approximately 400 mm possible to frame the container 7 in a range of +/- 5 ° starting from a horizontal position as well as facing the Raise or lower the crossbar 4. This allows the Load handling attachments can also be safely picked up at slightly inclined containers are, or vice versa, cargo units on non-inclined wagons be dropped off; be discontinued; be deducted; be dismissed.

Der Rahmen 9 besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei Längstraversen 10, die mit ihrer Längserstreckung in Längsrichtung des aufzunehmenden Containers 7 ausgerichtet sind sowie aus die Längstraversen 10 miteinander verbindenden Querträgern 11. Die somit einen Rahmen bildenden Längstraversen 10 und die Querträger 11 begrenzen einen inneren Rahmenbereich 12, in dem die Zwischentraverse 4, die Anschlußplatte 3, die Drehvorrichtung 6 sowie die Hydraulikzylinder 8 angeordnet sind. Zur Verbindung der Zwischentraverse 4 mit dem Rahmen 9 sind die Hydraulikzylinder 8 mit ihren Gehäusen 17 an der Zwischentraverse 4 und mit ihren Kolbenstangenenden 13 an den Längstraversen 10 angelenkt. Zwischen den Hydraulikzylindern 8 und ihren Gehäusen 17 sind nicht dargestellte Kugelpfannen-Verbindungen angeordnet, um die schwimmende Aufhängung des Rahmens im abgesenktem Zustand und dessen Neigung zu ermöglichen.The frame 9 consists essentially of two longitudinal beams 10, with their Longitudinal orientation in the longitudinal direction of the container 7 to be accommodated are and from the longitudinal members 10 interconnecting cross members 11. Die thus defining a longitudinal cross member 10 and the cross member 11 an inner frame area 12, in which the intermediate cross member 4, the connecting plate 3, the rotating device 6 and the hydraulic cylinders 8 are arranged. For Connection of the intermediate crossbar 4 to the frame 9 are the hydraulic cylinders 8 with their housings 17 on the intermediate cross member 4 and with their piston rod ends 13 hinged to the longitudinal cross members 10. Between the hydraulic cylinders 8 and their Housings 17 are arranged, not shown, ball socket connections to the floating suspension of the frame in the lowered state and its Allow inclination.

Die Längstraversen 10 sind als Kastenträger ausgebildet und dienen gleichzeitig als Führung für in diese einschiebbaren Auslegerarme 14. An den dem Rahmen 9 abgewandten Ende der Auslegerarme 14 sind jeweils Greifer 15, die als sog. Twist-Locks ausgebildet sind, für die Aufnahme der Container 7 angeordnet. Die teleskopierbare Anordnung der Auslegerarme 14 mit den Greifern 15 wurde gewählt, um somit das Lastaufnahmemittel auf unterschiedliche Längen der Container 7 einstellen zu können.The longitudinal cross members 10 are designed as box girders and simultaneously serve as Guide for these insertable extension arms 14. On the frame 9 opposite end of the cantilever arms 14 are grippers 15 which act as so-called twist locks are arranged for receiving the container 7. The telescopic arrangement of the extension arms 14 with the grippers 15 was chosen, around the load suspension device to different lengths of the container 7 to be able to adjust.

Darüber hinaus ist es bei gleichzeitiger Betätigung aller vier Hydraulikzylinder möglich, den Rahmen 9 relativ zu der Anschlußplatte 3 zu verfahren, um somit einen von den Greifern 15 aufgenommenen Container von dem Waggon bzw. Lastkraftwagen herunterzuheben und anschließend erst über eine Bewegung des Lastführungsarmes 1 den Container 7 umzuschlagen. Diese auch als "Freihub" bezeichnete Funktion ist besonders geeignet, Container oder bzw. Wechselbehälter von Eisenbahnwaggons bzw. Lastkraftwagen abzuheben oder abzustellen, auf denen die Container bzw. Wechselbehälter auf Zentrierdornen abgestellt sind. Erst anschließend ist eine seitliche Bewegung der Container und Wechselbehälter möglich.In addition, if all four hydraulic cylinders are operated at the same time, to move the frame 9 relative to the connecting plate 3, thus one of the Grippers 15 picked containers from the wagon or truck and then only by moving the load control arm 1 to turn over the container 7. This function is also referred to as "free lift" particularly suitable for containers or swap bodies of railway wagons to lift or park trucks on which the containers or Swap bodies are placed on centering mandrels. Only then is there a side Movement of containers and swap bodies possible.

Die Figur 2 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf das Lastaufnahmemittel gemäß Figur 1, in der aus Übersichtlichkeitsgründen der Container 7 und der Lastführungsarm 1 nicht dargestellt sind. Aus dieser Figur ist zu entnehmen, daß die Zwischentraverse 4 in der Draufsicht gesehen x-förmig ausgebildet ist und über Führungen 16 an den Längstraversen in Vertikalrichtung geführt wird. Hierdurch werden die Hydraulikzylinder 8 von Kräften in Horizontalrichtung entlastet. Außerdem ist in dieser Figur gezeigt, daß die Auslegerarme 14 durch einen schematisch dargestellten Antrieb 18, der im wesentlichen aus zwei Hydraulikzylindern besteht, seitlich ausfahrbar sind. Des weiteren ist zur Stabilisierung der Auslegerarme 14 an deren dem Rahmen 9 abgewandten Enden ein Kopfträger 19 befestigt. FIG. 2 shows a top view of the load suspension device according to FIG for reasons of clarity, the container 7 and the load control arm 1 are not are shown. From this figure it can be seen that the intermediate crossbar 4 in the Seen top view is formed in an X-shape and guides 16 to the Longitudinal truss is guided in the vertical direction. This will make the Hydraulic cylinder 8 relieved of forces in the horizontal direction. It is also in this Figure shown that the extension arms 14 by a schematically illustrated drive 18, which essentially consists of two hydraulic cylinders, can be extended laterally. Furthermore, to stabilize the extension arms 14 on their frame 9 opposite ends attached a head bracket 19.
