Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for stacking Wooden failures on pallets according to the generic term of the Claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is further a device for stacking failures on pallets according to claim 3.
  • Wood stocks are usually in the form of split failures of 20, 33, or 50 cm in length delivered.
  • the delivery is generally loose, i.e. the logs are made by the wood supplier at Timber buyers and consumers dumped in a disorderly location and then need for storage and drying be piled up.
  • FR-A 1 153.822 describes a method for stacking Failure known. With this procedure the Fail in a basket with one bottom and two in essential vertical side panels inserted. On also in the basket, to form an endless loop connected band serves after filling the basket with Failure to do this with a lifting tool, e.g. two at a rope hanging chains, lift out and away transport.
  • a lifting tool e.g. two at a rope hanging chains
  • the object of the present invention is a method and a device for stacking and storing small ones To create wooden failures, which transport from and storage at producers, dealers and consumers simplify.
  • Stacking split failures or too unsplit logs in a lying position within one the outer contour of the bundle to be created determining cage is very simple and can be done with little Time expenditure can also be done by inexperienced auxiliary staff.
  • the strapped by e.g. a ribbon, tied, disc-shaped bundles can be individually or rotated by 90% in groups with the turning device and so on the one previously on the turning device placed pallet transported vertically and be stored.
  • the initially horizontal in the bundle stacked failures can be done with little Spaces are stacked and therefore take up much smaller storage volume than loose stacked failures.
  • the one on the pallets arranged wooden bundles can be outside the house or, if entire pallets can be accessed, directly be stored in the boiler room. Transport can be done with a Lift truck device or - if available - on Crane hooks are made. To protect against water ingress over the top face of the failure at the Outdoor storage is sufficient to cover the top End face of the bundle.
  • Figure 1 is a receiving and turning plate, short Plate 1 shown, which in the present Embodiment for the formation of a disc-shaped Scheiterbündels 49 a cylinder jacket-shaped Has wing.
  • the plate 1 forms together with two Temple pairs 5 an annular cage 6, which the Outside contour of the bundle of failures 49 equivalent.
  • the two pairs of brackets 5 are in guides 7 the side surfaces 9 of the plate 1 slidably mounted.
  • guides 7 1 grooves 11 in the plate be let in, in which a corresponding trained, arranged on guide plates 13 and in Sliding block not visible in the figure engages.
  • Guides 7 can also be paired rails be attached, on which on the guide plate 13th Roll the arranged rollers.
  • the guide plates 13 connect the two pairs of brackets 5, which are made of tubes or profile bars bent in a circular shape consist of one vertically running at the top Section 15 and then a horizontal one have extending section 17.

  • the lock can, for example, by a the mandrel 21 penetrating the nested tubes respectively.
  • the pairs of brackets 5 are halfway Scope connected by a web 23 together.
  • the cup-shaped plate 1 has a flat bottom 25 on which in the first embodiment on a Carrier element 27 rests, and with a joint 29 the latter is connected.
  • the carrier element 27 comprises at least two longitudinal profiles 31, the are preferably designed as rectangular hollow profiles and inserting the two forks 33 of a lift truck enable.
  • the two profiles 31 are by struts 35 connected with each other.
  • the plate 1 At the back of the plate 1 are two vertically upwards projecting supports 37 on two horizontally extending Support surfaces 39 attached.
  • the distance a between the Front of the supports 37 and the rear end face 41 the plate 1 is slightly larger than the thickness of the grate a Euro pallet 43.
  • the two pairs of brackets 5 are with respect to the plate 1 can be pivoted outwards by an angle alpha.
  • Swivel axis can be a sufficiently large game of Sliding block serve in the guide 11, or it can be on the Guide plate 13 an articulated attachment for the bracket 5 may be provided.
  • the Recording and turning plate 1 is on essentially level floor and the two pairs of brackets 5 in the position shown in Figure 1 at a short distance brought to the rear end of the plate 1.
  • the pairs of brackets 5 are firmly connected at the top and form together with the surface of the plate 1 the circular cage 6.
  • a pallet 43 On the two contact surfaces 39 on which the supports 37 are attached, based on the two supports 37, a pallet 43, preferably a euro pallet.
  • the to bundle 45 failed initially on the plate 1 full laid side by side and successively the by the filled two cage pairs 5 formed cage 6. In front Beginning of stacking the failure 45 is on the Surface of the plate 1 and between the pairs of brackets 5 Clamping devices, e.g.
  • the first bundle of failures 49 serves the surface the pallet 43 as a rear stop; both The following bundles 49 serve the surfaces of the already completed bundle 49 as a stop for the individual failure 45. This results in homogeneous, disc-shaped bundles 49 having flat end faces. After completely filling the device, the two pairs of brackets 5 can be removed from the plate 1.
  • Bundles 49 lying one above the other on the pallet 43 can not only at the wood producer and dealer, but also at Consumers stored and, this is very important, further be dried. Good ventilation is in everyone Case guaranteed.
  • To protect against the front Penetration of water when stored outdoors can Stack with an appropriately tailored blanket covered and possibly also covered.
  • a Sheath can later 45 when the failure 45 after loosening the top straps 47 alternatively serve to support the failure 45 to the outside. However, this can also be prevented by the straps 47 is only loosened so far that the first Failure 47 can be removed. After that, the straps 47 are re-tightened each time so the overturning to prevent individual failure 45.
  • the pivoting of the plate 1 with a specially provided swivel device e.g. one hydraulic swivel device

  • the cage 6 can have a circular or oval cross section exhibit. Alternatively, it would be a rectangular one Cross-section possible, but then a more secure one Cohesion of the bundle 49 with a tension belt 47 does not would be more guaranteed and other holding means, e.g. four Rods joined together at the ends as strapping would have to be used.
  • the insert 1 in the absence of a Forklift or the like using a reversible fork 61 and a reversing carriage 63 rotated by 90 °.
  • the reversible fork 61 comprises two fork arms 65, analogous to those of one Forklift, which at its rear end by a frame 67 extending vertically to the fork arms 65 rigid are interconnected.
  • On the frame 67 are in pairs four rollers 69 and 71 overhung.
  • coupling points 73 and 75 are formed, with which if present, the reversible fork on the lifting system Can be attached to the tractor.
  • the two pairs of rollers 69 and 71 are intended and trained, in pairs on the reversing carriage 63 trained curved paths 77 and 79 to be guided.
  • the curved path 77 shown on the left side has a guideway 81 on the underside of the Cam track is arranged; the curved track 79 a Guide path 83, which is formed at the top.

But it is also possible by appropriate Locking means, the pallet 43 with the insert 1 transport, i.e. the insert with those on it attached forks 37 to use as a lifting device. By Slightly lowering the insert can of course be done the latter detached from the pallet 43 and for stacking new ones Failure to be used on a new Pallet 43. In Reverse order, the insert 1 can be stored become. The insert can be used in both positions (standing / lying) by means of a locking device over the Rail element (103) can be raised and transported.

  • the pivotable sections 205 are spring-loaded and swivel inwards successively, if behind them the Failure can be taken from the stack (see broken Lines in Figure 23). So that the removal bracket 201 after Removal of the failure in the swiveling area Section 205 does not fall down, is on the latter a foot 209 attached to the underlying one Failure supports. In the rear area the Removal bracket from the failures to be removed held a crossbar 211.
  • Crane hook 301 serves an L-shaped element with a hook 303, which is on the axis of the rollers 101 of the insert attacks.
  • the device 301 is supported by the vertical leg 305, which in the indexable insert arrives.
