Definitions

  • the invention relates to a monitoring device in Arrangement on a vehicle, especially an industrial truck with a fork for transporting or stacking Objects, loads or the like, with a camera, e.g. Video camera, for optical detection At least one Area around the vehicle and one preferred in Driver's compartment of the vehicle positioned monitor for playback of the camera signals.
  • a camera e.g. Video camera
  • a video camera on the fork as independent mounting system.
  • the camera can do it for example on the fork carriage as described in WO 96/35631, on an inner mast or on a prong of the fork be attached so that depending on the arrangement a view under and over load is enabled.
  • the signals from the camera are either via a cable or a transceiver unit to one, for example arranged in the driver's compartment of the vehicle Monitor transferred so that the driver of the truck Environment despite a view area blocked by the loads can watch with the surveillance system.
  • the Camera also equipped with a marking system be so that the loading height or a ramp, for example can be targeted and approached.
  • a disadvantage of these known monitoring systems is the exposed arrangement of the camera, which means that harsh operating conditions not always damage are to be excluded.
  • Another disadvantage of the known Surveillance systems is that the dimensions of the Fork or a fork of the fork by attaching the camera be increased so that with such a equipped Industrial truck does not promote all transport systems or can be moved, for example, between the individual feet of the Free spaces available on pallets are too narrow to accommodate the Surveillance system equipped forks or tines to be able to.
  • the invention is based on the object Provide monitoring system, which on the one hand Review through the loaded pallets or other Transport systems allowed, but with the other one Restriction regarding the type of pallets to be transported or Transport systems is not given. Furthermore, one should otherwise damage not always to be avoided in particular the camera or the camera system largely avoided will.
  • This task is carried out with the monitoring device features mentioned in the introduction i. w. solved in that the Fork, preferably a free end portion of the fork, a Has recess or the like recording and the camera from the Recording is essentially completely recorded.
  • the camera or the surveillance system the fork or a prong the fork of the truck in dimensions changed significantly, so that by using such Monitoring system on an industrial truck the range of possible transport systems or pallets to be transported is not restricted.
  • the camera is the Surveillance system by the i. w. full inclusion in position of the fork in a particularly protected position so that shocks, Impacts or the like generally do not damage the Lead camera or surveillance systems.
  • the arrangement of the camera according to the invention is also a surveillance of pallets for damage possible, so that this without one separate operation can be retired.
  • the recording in the region of an end wall a prong of the fork is arranged. Based on these Measure can be a large one by means of the monitoring device Surrounding area before the load are monitored because of this Arrangement of the camera a large solid angle can be detected.
  • the recording funnel-shaped in the manner of a pot or, for example, in the manner of a Blind hole is formed, the opening in the direction of the free end portion.
  • the camera is due to this Design of the recording simply in the front end section the tine or fork.
  • this embodiment also proved to be advantageous as the recess in the event that a monitoring device should not be used in individual cases, e.g. can be closed by means of a stopper or the like. So you can the prongs of the fork regardless of whether a camera is in the free end section is to be positioned or not, always made in the same embodiment with the recording the recording is either equipped with the camera or closed with a stopper.
  • Attaching such is taken up in the free end region of a tine for an independent embodiment of the present invention, which are also independent of the invention Monitoring system can be used.
  • the Protective screen for its own protection against the End wall, is preferably reset.
  • a lens or a lens system upstream of the camera be, which is preferably arranged in the region of the recess is.
  • the surrounding area depending on the application and Dimensioning of the lens system can be further optimized.
  • the lens or the lens system in the area of the front wall fills or closes the recess over the entire surface.
  • the Lens system is therefore not only used to improve the optical properties of the surveillance system, but also as mechanical protection for those positioned in the receptacle Camera, since the recess covers the entire surface of the lens system is complete and dirt or moisture is not in the Area of the opening of the recording or get to the camera can.
  • a further improved mechanical protection is after a provided another embodiment of the invention that the recess on the bottom and / or top hermetic with a, preferably sunken and screwable plate is covered. Especially in the area of The fork and tine are at the top and / or bottom Transporting loads subject to heavy loads, which by attaching the plates largely from the Lens system can be kept away.
  • the camera possibly with protective screen, lens system, receiver part and / or battery can be used as a unit or insert in the receptacle, whereby the assembly and also the service during an exchange the unit is significantly simplified.
  • another camera preferably be arranged in a receptacle of the second fork, whereby even better surveillance with a larger field of vision is possible.
  • the Invention recommend that in the field of the camera, preferably arranged at least one headlight within the receptacle is.
  • a free end section 13 of a tine 18 or a fork of an industrial truck for transportation or Stacking objects, loads or the like.
  • the one Monitoring device 10 assigned to the industrial truck a camera 12, e.g. a video camera, for optical detection at least one area around the vehicle and one in Driver's compartment of the vehicle positioned monitor for playback of the camera signals.
  • a recess or the like receptacle 14 is provided, in which the Camera 12 is completely recorded.
  • the recording 14 is in Area of an end wall 16 of the prong 18 of the fork is arranged. Furthermore, the recording 14 i. w. symmetrical to one Central longitudinal axis 20 of the tine 18 positioned.
  • the receptacle 14 itself is in the manner of a pot 22 or one Blind hole formed, the opening 24 of the pot 22nd or the blind hole in the direction of the free end section 13 points.
  • the opening 24 of the pot 22nd or the blind hole in the direction of the free end section 13 points.
  • In the area of the rear end of the receptacle 14, are in particular starting from a bottom 26 of the receptacle 14 one or more, i. w. pointing towards a fork carriage Channels 28 arranged within the tine 18.
  • channels 28 can also start from the central longitudinal axis 20 laterally inside the tine 18 or along extend a side outer wall.
  • the camera 12 is placed in front of a protective screen 34, which in Area of the recess 30 is positioned.
  • the protective screen 34 closes in any case in the region of the end wall 16 Cutout 30 completely or fill it.
  • the Protective disk 34 is somewhat opposite the end wall set back.
  • the recess 30 hermetically with a preferably depressed and possibly screwed plate 40, 42 covered.
  • a layer 46 or a layer of elastic Material arranged between the housing of the camera 12 and the inner wall 44 of the Recording 14.
  • the signals from camera 12 are transmitted via cables or a transceiver unit to that in the driver's compartment of the vehicle positioned monitor transmitted so that the driver of the Vehicle by means of in the front free end portion 13 of the Tine 18 arranged camera 12 the environment or a part the environment in the area of the vehicle despite, for example, loads o. The like can monitor or observe a hidden view.
  • the monitoring device can also be used as Insert 47 with an outer housing 48 in the receptacle 14 can be used on the prongs 18. This is the assembly considerably simplified, as is the ease of servicing is improved by replacing the unit.
