Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transportsicherung für mit einem vorzugsweise klappbaren Fahrgestell ausgebildete Krankentragen in Krankentransportfahrzeugen mit einer im Bodenbereich des Fahrzeuges befestigbaren Aufnahmeeinrichtung und einem in die Aufnahmeeinrichtung in Längsrichtung des Fahrzeuges einschiebbaren und an der Krankentrage befestigbaren, im wesentlichen pilzförmig ausgebildeten Verrastelement.The invention relates to a transport lock for with a preferably foldable chassis Stretcher in an ambulance with a Floor area of the vehicle attachable receiving device and one in the receiving device in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle retractable and on the stretcher attachable, essentially mushroom-shaped Locking component.

Beim Transport von Krankentragen in Krankentransportfahrzeugen ist es erforderlich, daß die Krankentragen in den Krankentransportfahrzeugen befestigt werden, so daß jegliche Bewegungen der Krankentrage in horizontaler sowie in vertikaler Richtung während der Fahrt des Fahrzeuges unterbunden werden. Hierbei besteht das Problem, daß unterschiedliche Systeme in unterschiedlichen Fahrzeugen und bei unterschiedlichen Krankentragen verwendet werden. Beispielsweise sind solche Transportsicherungen bekannt, bei denen im Bodenbereich des Fahrzeuges ein Fanghaken angeordnet ist, der mit einem im wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildeten Profil verrastet, welches Profil an der Krankentrage angeordnet, beispielsweise angeschweißt oder angeschraubt ist. Insbesondere im Katastrophenfall, nämlich dann, wenn eine Vielzahl von Krankentransportfahrzeugen an einer Einsatzstelle benötigt werden, kann es aufgrund der erforderlichen Geschwindigkeit des Abtransportes verletzter Personen dazu kommen, daß unterschiedliche Krankentragen mit unterschiedlichen Transportsicherungen verwendet werden, die dann den entsprechenden Fahrzeugen zugeordnet werden müssen. Hierbei kann es zu logistischen Problemen kommen, da mitunter auf Krankentragen abgelegte verletzte Personen nicht mit einem Krankenwagen, sondern beispielsweise mit einem Rettungshubschrauber transportiert werden müssen. Gleichzeitig besteht dann das Erfordernis, mit dem bereitstehenden Krankenwagen eine Krankentrage zu befördern, die nicht auf die Transportsicherung des Krankenwagens abgestimmt ist. Diese Problematik tritt beispielsweise in verstärktem Maße auch bei supranationaler Zusammenarbeit im Rettungswesen, insbesondere bei der Zusammenarbeit von Rettungseinrichtungen in der Europäischen Union auf.When transporting stretchers in ambulance vehicles it is necessary that the stretchers in the Ambulance vehicles are attached so that any movements of the stretcher in horizontal as well in the vertical direction while the vehicle is traveling be prevented. The problem here is that different Systems in different vehicles and at different stretchers can be used. For example, such transport locks are known with a catch hook in the floor area of the vehicle is arranged with a substantially U-shaped trained profile locked, which profile on the Stretcher arranged, for example welded or is screwed on. Especially in the event of a disaster, namely then when a variety of ambulance vehicles arrive a job site, it can be due to the required speed of removal injured People come to different stretches used with different transport locks are then assigned to the corresponding vehicles Need to become. This can lead to logistical problems come, as injuries sometimes placed on stretchers People not with an ambulance, but for example be transported with a rescue helicopter have to. At the same time, there is a requirement with which waiting ambulances to a stretcher transport that are not on the transport lock of the Ambulance is matched. This problem occurs, for example to an even greater extent with supranational Cooperation in the emergency services, especially in the cooperation of emergency services in the European Union on.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Transportsicherungen bekannt. Beispielsweise offenbart die US-A-5 092 722 eine derartige Transportsicherung für Krankentragen, die aus zwei U-förmigen Schienen besteht, welche im Fahrzeugbodenbereich parallel zueinander verlaufend befestigt sind. Diese Schienen dienen der Führung von an der Krankentrage angeordneten pilzförmigen Verrastelementen, die in entsprechende, in Axialrichtung der Verrastelemente federnd ausgebildeten Ausnahmen verrasten. Hierbei erstrecken sich die Schienen über annähernd die gesamte Länge des Transportraumes eines Transportfahrzeuges. Diese Transportsicherung hat sich für die Befestigung von Krankentragen in Krankentransportfahrzeugen bewährt, wobei jedoch auszuführen ist, daß diese vorbekannte Transportsicherung konstruktiv sehr aufwendig ist, eine hohe Reibung zwischen den Schienen und den Verrastelementen erzeugt, einen großen Flächenbereich des Fahrzeugbodens in Anspruch nimmt und insbesondere nicht mit einer Sicherung für das automatische Aufklappen des Fahrgestells der Krankentrage kombinierbar ist.Various transport locks are from the prior art known. For example, the US-A-5 092 722 such a transport lock for Stretcher, which consists of two U-shaped rails, which run parallel to each other in the vehicle floor area are attached. These rails are used to guide mushroom-shaped locking elements arranged on the stretcher, the corresponding in the axial direction of the Lock locking elements with resiliently designed exceptions. Here, the rails extend over approximately entire length of the transport space of a transport vehicle. This transport lock has been chosen for the Attachment of stretchers in patient transport vehicles proven, but it should be noted that these are known Transport security is structurally very complex, high friction between the rails and the locking elements generates a large area of the vehicle floor takes and especially not with a safety device for the automatic opening of the chassis the stretcher can be combined.

Aus der US-A-9 690 364 ist eine Transportsicherung fur einen Rollstuhl in einem Kraftfahrzeug bekannt, die aus einem Gehäuse mit einer schlitzformigen Aufnahme fur ein pilzförmiges Verrastelement besteht. Das Verrastelement ist am Rollstuhl befestigt. In dem Gehäuse ist ein Halteelement Schenkbeweglich angeordnet, welches den Rollstuhl in der Transportstellung hält und über einen Hebel lösbar ist.From US-A-9 690 364 is a transportation lock known for a wheelchair in a motor vehicle, which consists of a housing with a slit-shaped Holder for a mushroom-shaped locking element consists. The locking element is attached to the wheelchair. A holding element can be pivoted in the housing arranged which the wheelchair stops in the transport position and over one Lever is releasable.

Ferner offenbart die GB-A- 2 281 094 eine Transportsicherung für eine Krankentrage im Seitenwand bereich eines Kranken transportfahrzeugs. Diese Transportsicherung besteht aus zwei beabstandet zueinander an einer schiene befestigbaren Halterungen, von denen eine Halterung eine federbelastete Sperrklinke aufweist.GB-A-2 281 094 also discloses one Transport security for a stretcher in the Sidewall area of an ambulance. This transport lock consists of two spaced from each other attachable to a rail Mounts, one of which is a spring-loaded bracket Pawl has.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Transportsicherung für Krankentragen zu schaffen, die universell verwendbar und insbesondere in einfacher Weise auch als Nachrüstelement in Krankentransportfahrzeugen einbaubar bzw. an Krankentragen montierbar ist, ohne daß die Transportsicherung große Flächenbereiche des Fahrzeugbodens in Anspruch nimmt und wobei an den Krankentragen vorgesehene Fahrgestellaufstellvorrichtungen mit entsprechenden Sicherungen mit der Transportsicherung handhabbar und verwendbar sind.Based on this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide a transport lock for stretchers, which can be used universally and in particular in a simple manner as a retrofit element in patient transport vehicles or can be mounted on stretchers without the transport lock covering large areas of the vehicle floor Claimed and provided on the stretchers chassis erection devices with appropriate safeguards with the transport lock can be handled and used.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht mit Transportsicherung nach Anspruch 1 vor.The solution to this problem provides for transport security according to claim 1.

Eine nach dieser Lehre ausgebildete Transportsicherung hat insbesondere den Vorteil, daß die Aufnahmeeinrichtung lediglich im Heckbereich des Fahrzeuges angeordnet ist, d. h. sich nicht über den gesamten Bodenbereich des Fahrzeuges erstreckt. Hierdurch bleiben wesentliche Teile des Bodenbereiches für andere Konstruktionselemente, beispielsweise für Sicherheitseinrichtungen für das sich automatisch aufstellende Fahrgestell oder dergleichen frei. Außerdem ist die erfindungsgemäße Aufnahmeeinrichtung konstruktiv sehr einfach ausgebildet und dadurch kostengünstig herstellbar, was insbesondere die Nachrüstkosten bestehender Krankentransportfahrzeuge gering hält. Neben diesen Vorteilen bietet die erfindungsgemäße Transportsicherung auch den Vorteil, daß die Montage des im wesentlichen aus einem Teil bestehende Aufnahmeeinrichtung sehr einfach ist, da die Aufnahmeeinrichtung nur an der richtigen Position im Fahrzeug auf dessen Boden befestigt, in der Regel aufgeschraubt werden muß. In gleicher Weise ist auch das Hakenelement konstruktiv einfach ausgestaltet, wobei insbesondere das Auslösen dieses Hakenelementes vereinfacht ist, da das Hakenelement ohne weiteres im Fahrzeugheckbereich erreichbar ist. Beim Einschieben der Krankentrage in das Krankentransportfahrzeug rastet das Verrastelement erst nach annähernd vollständig beendetem Einschubvorgang in der Aufnahmeeinrichtung ein und wird durch das Hakenelement derart arretiert, daß die Krankentrage weder in Fahrtrichtung des Fahrzeuges, noch quer zur Fahrtrichtung des Fahrzeuges wesentliche Bewegungen ausführen kann. Durch die Ausgestaltung des Verrastelementes ist ferner der Vorteil erzielt, daß dieses an bereits bestehenden Krankentragen problemlos befestigbar ist, auch wenn diese Krankentragen bereits andere Transportsicherungselemente aufweisen.Has a transport lock trained according to this teaching in particular the advantage that the receiving device is only arranged in the rear area of the vehicle, d. H. not over the entire floor area of the vehicle extends. This leaves essential parts of the floor area for other construction elements, for example for safety devices for the automatically rising Chassis or the like free. Besides, is the receiving device according to the invention is very constructive simply designed and therefore inexpensive to manufacture, which in particular the retrofitting costs of existing ambulance vehicles keeps low. In addition to these advantages the transport lock according to the invention also offers the Advantage that the assembly of the one part existing recording device is very simple because the Recording device only in the correct position in the Vehicle attached to the floor, usually screwed on must become. The hook element is in the same way structurally simple, in particular triggering this hook element is simplified is because the hook element easily in the rear of the vehicle is achievable. When inserting the stretcher the locking element snaps into the ambulance only after the insertion process is almost completely completed in the receiving device and is by the hook element locked in such a way that the stretcher neither in Driving direction of the vehicle, still transverse to the driving direction the vehicle can make essential movements. By the design of the locking element is also the Advantage achieved that this on existing stretchers can be easily attached, even if these stretchers other transport securing elements already exhibit.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Schlitz zu seinem offenen Ende hin sich V-förmig erweiterend ausgebildet ist. Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, daß das Einschieben des Verrastelementes in die Aufnahmeeinrichtung wesentlich vereinfacht wird und daß das Verrastelement in dem sich V-förmig erweiternden Schlitz in die richtige Position am Ende des Schlitzes geführt wird.According to a further feature of the invention, that the slot is V-shaped towards its open end is expanding. This configuration has the Advantage that the insertion of the locking element in the Recording device is significantly simplified and that Locking element in the V-shaped slot in the correct position at the end of the slot.

Eine Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Transportsicherung sieht vor, daß das Hakenelement als um die Achse verschwenkbare federbelastete Sperrklinke ausgebildet ist, welche mit einem Auslöseelement verbunden ist. Diese Ausgestaltung dient insbesondere der vereinfachten Handhabung und der konstruktiven Vereinfachung der Transportsicherung. Hierbei ist es nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß das Auslöseelement als L-förmiger Hebel ausgebildet, mit einem Ende drehbeweglich an der Sperrklinke befestigt ist und einen Griff am zweiten Ende aufweist, der nach außerhalb des Profilelementes vorsteht. Dieser Griff ist in einfacher Weise auch bei eingeschobener Krankentrage erreichbar. Durch die sehr kompakt, da kurz ausgebildete Aufnahmeeinrichtung kann auch das Auslöseelement sehr kurz ausgebildet sein, wobei sich hierdurch auch Vorteile hinsichtlich des Gewichtes der erfindungsgemäßen Transportsicherung ergeben.A further development of the transport lock according to the invention provides that the hook element than around the axis pivotable spring-loaded pawl is formed, which is connected to a trigger element. This configuration serves in particular for simplified handling and the constructive simplification of the transportation lock. It is according to a further feature of the invention provided that the trigger element as an L-shaped lever trained with one end rotatable on the pawl is attached and has a handle at the second end, which protrudes outside the profile element. This handle is easy even when inserted Stretcher available. Because of the very compact, because short trained recording facility can also do that Trigger element can be made very short, whereby thereby also advantages in terms of the weight of the transportation lock according to the invention result.

Es ist ferner vorgesehen, daß das Auslöseelement in Längsrichtung des Profilelementes verschiebbar ist, wobei das Auslöseelement vorzugsweise in einer schlitzförmigen Öffnung des Profilelementes geführt ist.It is further provided that the trigger element in Longitudinal direction of the profile element is displaceable, wherein the trigger element preferably in a slot-shaped Opening of the profile element is guided.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß zwischen dem Auslöseelement und dem Profilelement eine vorgespannte Zugfeder angeordnet ist, die dafür Sorge trägt, daß das mit der Sperrklinke verbundene Auslöseelement die Sperrklinke automatisch in eine Sperrstellung verschiebt. Diese Sperrstellung verläßt die Sperrklinke nur in dem Moment, in dem das Verrastelement auf eine in Richtung der Schlitzöffnung angeordnete, schrägverlaufende Fläche der Sperrklinke auftrifft und aufgrund der Schrägstellung der Fläche diese Sperrklinke aus der Sperrstellung herausgedrückt wird. Unmittelbar nachdem das Verrastelement vollständig an der schrägstehenden Fläche der Sperrklinke vorbeigeschoben ist, zieht die Zugfeder die Sperrklinke in ihre Sperrstellung, wobei die Kraft der Zugfeder auf das Auslöseelement übertragen wird, welches Auslöseelement formschlüssig mit der Sperrklinke verbunden ist.According to a further feature of the invention, that between the trigger element and the profile element preloaded tension spring is arranged, which take care carries that the trigger element connected to the pawl the pawl automatically in a locked position shifts. This locking position only leaves the pawl the moment the latching element clicks into a Sloping end arranged in the direction of the slot opening Surface of the pawl strikes and due to the inclination the surface of this pawl from the locked position is pushed out. Immediately after the locking element completely on the inclined surface of the pawl is pushed past, the tension spring pulls the pawl in their locking position, the force of the tension spring on the Trigger element is transmitted, which trigger element is positively connected to the pawl.

Das Verrastelement ist vorzugsweise im Fußbereich an einem Gestell der Krankentrage befestigbar, so daß die Krankentrage automatisch in vorgesehener Transportrichtung in das Fahrzeug eingeschoben wird. Diese vorgesehene Transportvorrichtung ist dann gegeben, wenn der Kopf der zu transportierenden verletzten Person in Fahrtrichtung zeigt.The locking element is preferably in the foot area on one Frame of the stretcher attachable, so that the stretcher automatically in the intended transport direction in the Vehicle is inserted. This provided transport device is given when the head of the to be transported shows injured person in the direction of travel.

Das Verrastelement weist vorzugsweise einen an der Krankentrage befestigbaren Grundkörper auf, der auch nachträglich an bestehende Krankentragen oder bereits an Krankentragen angeordnete Transportsicherungselemente befestigbar ist.The locking element preferably has one on the stretcher attachable base body, which can also be retrofitted to existing stretchers or already on stretchers arranged transport securing elements can be attached.

Um das Verrastelement an die Höhen verschiedener Krankentragen auf die Aufnahmeeinrichtung einstellen zu können, ist nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß das Verrastelement relativ zum Grundkörper verstellbar ist.Around the locking element to the heights of various stretchers to be able to adjust to the receiving device is provided according to a further feature of the invention, that the locking element is adjustable relative to the base body is.

Hierbei hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, daß das Verrastelement aus einer Gewindestange oder einem Gewindestangenabschnitt und einer runden Platte besteht, die, ggf. unter Zwischenanordnung eines Stabelementes an der Gewindestange oder dem Gewindestangenabschnitt befestigt ist, wobei der Durchmesser der Platte größer ist als der Durchmesser des Stabelements und / oder der Gewindestange bzw. des Gewindestangenabschnittes und der Breite des Schlitzes im Bereich des Hakenelements. Die Gewindestange bzw. der Gewindestangenabschnitt ist in eine Gewindebohrung im Grundkörper einschraubbar. Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß auf der Gewindestange bzw. dem Gewindestangenabschnitt eine Kontermutter aufgeschraubt ist, mit der die Gewindestange bzw. der Gewindestangenabschnitt relativ zum Grundkörper festlegbar ist.Here, it has proven to be advantageous that the locking element from a threaded rod or a threaded rod section and a round plate, which, if necessary with the interposition of a rod element on the threaded rod or the threaded rod section is attached, the diameter of the plate being larger than the diameter the rod element and / or the threaded rod or of the threaded rod section and the width of the slot in the area of the hook element.
