Die Erfindung betrifft eine Containerbrucke entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des ersten PatentanspruchesThe invention relates to a container bridge according to the preamble of the first claim
Die Containerbrucke ist überall dort einsetzbar, wo viele Ladeeinheiten in kurzer Zeit umgeschlagen werden müssen Die Containerbrucke ist vor allem geeignet zum Be- und Entladen von Containern aus Schiffen auf Lagerplatze beziehungsweise auf Transportmittel, mit denen sie weitertransportiert werdenThe container bridge can be used wherever many loading units have to be transshipped in a short time. The container bridge is particularly suitable for loading and unloading containers from ships on storage bins or on means of transport with which they are transported
Aus OS-DE 2 341 725 geht ein Bruckenkran hervor bei dem zwei übereinander angeordnete Katzen gegeneinander verfahrbar sind, wobei die obere Katze auf Fahrbahnen verfahrbar ist, die unterhalb der Katze liegen, und die unter Katze auf Fahrbahnen verfahrbar ist, die oberhalb der Katze liegen Die obere Katze fahrt über die darunter befindliche Katze hinweg, wobei die zu transportierende Last durch die U- formig ausgebildete untere Laufkatze hindurchfahrt Damit der Container der oberen Laufkatze nicht mit der U-formigen unteren Laufkatze kollidiert, muß an der oberen Katze ein Drehwerk vorhanden sein, damit der Container in Längsrichtung zur Bewegungsrichtung gedreht werden kann und eine Durchfahrt durch die untere Laufkatze möglich ist Diese Drehbewegung eines jeden Containers kostet apparativen Aufwand und vor allem Zeit beim Verladen der ContainerFrom OS-DE 2 341 725 a gantry crane emerges in which two cats arranged one above the other can be moved against each other, the upper cat being able to travel on roadways that lie below the cat, and that under cat can be moved on roadways that are above the cat The upper cat drives over the cat underneath, with the load to be transported passing through the U-shaped lower trolley so that the container of the upper trolley does not collide with the U-shaped lower trolley, a rotating mechanism must be available on the upper cat , so that the container can be rotated in the longitudinal direction to the direction of movement and passage through the lower trolley is possible. This rotating movement of each container costs equipment and, above all, time when loading the container
Weiterhin sind bei diesem Bruckenkran die Fahrbahnen der Katzen außerhalb der Lange des zu transportierenden Containers angeordnet Das hat den Nachteil, daß Probleme bei der Übernahme/Übergabe im Bereich der Schiffsbrücke entstehen können, wenn die Container sehr weit an die Brücke heranzustapeln sindFurthermore, with this overhead crane, the lanes of the cats are arranged outside the length of the container to be transported. This has the disadvantage that problems with picking up / handing over can arise in the area of the ship's bridge if the containers are to be stacked very far towards the bridge
Aus DE 43 07 254 A1 ist ein Lastenverladekran bekannt, bei dem drei Katzen an einer Kranbrucke angeordnet sind, wobei zwei in ihrer Längsrichtung verfahrbare Hubeinheiten mit Hubwerk mit einer Transfereinheit zum Lastaustausch angeordnet sind Die Transfereinheit kann doppelstockig Lasten oder Container verfahren, wobei sie selbst nicht über eine Hubeinheit verfugt Weiterhin ist es möglich, daß jede verfahrbare Hubeinheit mit Hubwerk auch durch die Transfereinheit hindurchfahrt Nicht möglich ist es allerdings, daß die Katzen mit Hubwerk und Container durch einander hindurchfahren, da das die Anordnung ihrer Fahrwerge und ihre Ausfuhrung nicht möglich macht Damit ist auch bei diesem Lastenverladekran keine VorrichtungA load loading crane is known from DE 43 07 254 A1, in which three trolleys are arranged on a crane bridge, with two lifting units with a lifting mechanism that can be moved in their longitudinal direction being arranged with a transfer unit for load exchange has a lifting unit Furthermore, it is possible that each movable lifting unit with lifting gear can also pass through the transfer unit. It is not possible, however, for the cats with lifting gear and container to pass through each other, since this makes the arrangement of their trolleys and their execution impossible is not a device for this load loading crane either
ERSATZBUTT (REGEL 26) vorhanden bei der mehrere Laufkatzen mit ihrer Last völlig unabhängig voneinander arbeiten könnenREPLACEMENT BUTT (RULE 26) available where several trolleys can work with their load completely independently of each other
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Containerbrucke zu entwickeln, an der mehrere Laufkatzen weitestgehend unabhängig voneinander, bei geringem Zeit- undIt is therefore an object of the invention to develop a container bridge on which several trolleys are largely independent of one another, with little time and

Die erfindungsgemaße Containerbrucke, bestehend aus einem zweiarmigenThe container bridge according to the invention, consisting of a two-armed
Fahrtrager, einem Hubwerk einem Fahrwerk und mindestens einem Portal, wobei dieCarrier, a hoist a chassis and at least one portal, the
Katzen auf jeweils eigenen Fahrbahnen des Fahrtragers an der Containerbrucke verfahren und sich ihre Fahrwege kreuzen Ausgehend von zwei Katzen, derenCats move on the carrier's own lanes at the container bridge and cross their paths Starting from two cats, their
Fahrbahnen sich kreuzen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn diese beidseitig auf ihren Fahrbahnen verfahrenCrossing lanes, it is advantageous if they move on both sides of their lanes
Erfindungsgemaß sind Fahrbahnen beider Katzen oberhalb der Katzen angeordnetAccording to the invention, the lanes of both cats are arranged above the cats
Das hat den Vorteil, daß die Katzen mit ihren Greifeinrichtungen unabhängig voneinander Container auch quer zur Fahrtrichtung transportieren könnenThis has the advantage that the cats can also use their gripping devices to transport containers transversely to the direction of travel
Es ist sinnvoll, die jeweils untere Katze U- oder wanneπformig auszubilden so daß diese untere Katze einen Hohlraum aufweist, durch den die obere Katze mit ihrer Last, Δ J beispielsweise einem Container, hindurchfahren kannIt makes sense to design the lower cat in a U-shaped or tub-shaped manner so that this lower cat has a cavity through which the upper cat with its load, ΔJ, for example, a container, can pass
Jede der Katzen ist mit allen Einrichtungen, die für eine Längs-, Hub- und Greiffahrt notwendig sind, ausgestattet Dazu gehört auch, daß jede der Katzen bei manuellem Betrieb über ein eigenes Fuhrerhaus verfugtEach of the cats is equipped with all the facilities necessary for a longitudinal, lifting and gripping trip. This also means that each of the cats has its own cab when operated manually
30 Es ist von Vorteil, wenn das Hubwerk der jeweils unteren Katze zweigeteilt und neben dem Langsfahrwerk angeordnet ist Zur Ableitung der Hoπzontalkrafte auf die Seitenteile sind Fuhrungsrollen und Führungsschienen zwischen der Katze und dem Haupttrager angebaut Durch diese Anordnung entsteht eine kompakte Bauweise Die Katzen der Containerbrucke sind mit Signaleinrichtungen ausgerüstet, die ein z^ gegenseitiges Kollidieren mit Last verhindern Damit ist gewahrleistet, daß die jeweils obere Katze mit abgesenkter Last beziehungsweise mit abgesenktem Container nicht mit dem Fahrweg der unteren Katze kollidiert Beide Katzen können damit weitestgehend unabhängig voneinander Fahrzeuge und Lagerplatze be- und entladen, wobei jede der beiden Katzen den gesamten Bereich der Containerbrucke überfahren und bearbeiten kann30 It is advantageous if the hoist of the lower trolley is divided into two and is located next to the longitudinal trolley. Guide rollers and guide rails are fitted between the trolley and the main beam to derive the horizontal forces on the side parts.This arrangement creates a compact design. The trolleys are the trolleys equipped with signaling means which prevent z ^ mutual colliding with the load Thus is ensured that the respective upper cat with reduced load or does not collide with a lowered container with the travel path of the lower cat Both cats can therefore largely load and unload vehicles and storage spaces independently of one another, whereby each of the two cats can drive over and process the entire area of the container bridge
Es ist weiterhin vorteilhaft, daß mindestens eine Seite des über das Portal hinausragenden Fahrtragers hochklappbar ist Das ist vor allem dann von Vorteil, wenn anlandende Containerschiffe das erfordern oder aber dieser Bereich der Containerbrucke sich nicht im Einsatz befindetIt is furthermore advantageous that at least one side of the vehicle carrier protruding beyond the portal can be folded up. This is particularly advantageous if container ships landing there require this or if this area of the container bridge is not in use
Eine weitere Ausfuhrung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Fahrbahnen der Katzen beidseitig eines einzigen Tragers verlaufen Diese Ausfuhrung ist besonders für Falle geeignet, wo Container mit geringeren Lasten schnell zu transportieren sindAnother embodiment of the invention provides that the lanes of the cats run on both sides of a single carrier. This embodiment is particularly suitable for cases where containers with lower loads can be transported quickly
Eine andere Ausfuhrung der Erfindung sieht vor daß jede Katze an einem jeweils anderen Trager verfahren kannAnother embodiment of the invention provides that each cat can move on a different carrier
Vorteilhaft ist es, die Fahrbahnen der Katzen innerhalb der Containerlange eines quer transportierten Containers anzuordnen Dadurch können die Container ohne Probleme sehr weit an die Schiffsbrücke herangestapelt werdenIt is advantageous to arrange the lanes of the cats within the container length of a transversely transported container. As a result, the containers can be stacked very far up to the ship's bridge without problems
Im folgenden wird die erfmdungsgemaße Containerbrucke an zehn Figuren und einem Ausfuhrungsbeispiel naher erläutert Die Figuren zeigenThe container bridge according to the invention is explained in more detail below with ten figures and an exemplary embodiment. The figures show

Die Figuren 1 bis 9 zeigen die erfindungsgemäße Containerbrücke 4 beim Umschlag von Container 1 von Schiff 2 zum Land 3. Je nach Größe des Schiffes 2 können mehrere Containerbrücken 4 gleichzeitig zum Einsatz kommen. An Land werden die Container 1 mit Transportmittel 5 weiter gehandhabt.Figures 1 to 9 show the container bridge 4 according to the invention when handling container 1 from ship 2 to land 3. Depending on the size of the ship 2, several container bridges 4 can be used simultaneously. On land, containers 1 are further handled with means of transport 5.
Die Containerbrücke 4 verfährt über im Boden eingelassene Fahrschienen 6 und ein Fahrwerk 7 parallel zur Kaikante 8. An ein wasserseitiges Portal 9 und landseitiges Portal 10 mit Versteifungsstreben 11 ist ein zweiarmiger Fahrträger 12 über Verbindungselemente 13 befestigt. Der wasserseitige über den Portal 9 hinausragende Fahrträger 12 kann zum An- und Abdocken der Schiffe 2 über ein Gelenk 38 und ein Hubwerk 14 mit Seilen 15 und Umlenkrollen 16 hochgeklappt werden.The container bridge 4 travels parallel to the quay edge 8 via rails 6 and a chassis 7 embedded in the floor. A two-armed carriage 12 is fastened to a water-side portal 9 and land-side portal 10 with stiffening struts 11 via connecting elements 13. The water beam 12 projecting beyond the portal 9 can be folded up for docking and undocking of the ships 2 via a joint 38 and a lifting mechanism 14 with ropes 15 and deflection rollers 16.
Auf dem Fahrträger 12 verfahren die beiden Katzen 17 und 18. Jede Katze ist mit allen Einrichtungen für die Längs-, Hub- und Greiffahrt ausgestattet. Jede Katze besitzt demnach eine eigene Fahrbahn 19, 20, ein Längsfahrwerk 21 , 22, eine Energiezuführung 23, 24, ein Hubwerk 25, 26 mit Seile 27, 28, einen Container Spreader 29, 30 und für den manuellen Betrieb je ein Führerhaus 31 , 32.The two trolleys 17 and 18 move on the drive carrier 12. Each trolley is equipped with all the facilities for longitudinal, lifting and gripping travel. Each cat accordingly has its own lane 19, 20, a longitudinal undercarriage 21, 22, an energy supply 23, 24, a hoist 25, 26 with ropes 27, 28, a container spreader 29, 30 and one cab 31 for manual operation, 32.
Bei der Katze 18 wird über ein Unterteil 33, zwei Seitenteile 34 und über Umlenkrollen 35 das Seil 28 zum Spreader 30 geführt. Das eigentliche Hubwerk 26 ist zweigeteilt neben dem Längsfahrwerk 22 angebaut Zur Ableitung von Honzontalkraften auf die Seitenteile 34 sind Fuhrungsroilen 36 und Führungsschienen 37 zwischen der Katze 18 und dem Fahrtrager 12 angebaut Durch diese Anordnung ist eine kompakte Bauweise entstandenIn the case of the cat 18, the cable 28 is guided to the spreader 30 via a lower part 33, two side parts 34 and via deflection rollers 35. The actual hoist 26 is divided into two built next to the longitudinal chassis 22 To derive horizontal forces on the side parts 34, guide rollers 36 and guide rails 37 are mounted between the trolley 18 and the carriage 12. This arrangement has resulted in a compact design
Der Entladevorgang geht in folgender Weise vor sichThe unloading process takes place in the following way
Nach dem Anlegen des Schiffes 2 wird die Containerbrucke 4 über die Fahrwerke 7 zum Entladen der Container 1 in Position gefahren Die Katze 17 (Fig 4) übernimmt mit dem Spreader 27 einen Container 1 vom Schiff 2 und zieht diesen in die oberste Endposition der Katze 17 Der Container ist hierdurch in einer stabilen Position, ein Pendeln des Containers 1 wird unterbundenAfter the ship 2 has been moored, the container bridge 4 is moved into position via the trolleys 7 for unloading the container 1. The cat 17 (FIG. 4) takes over a container 1 from the ship 2 with the spreader 27 and pulls it into the uppermost end position of the cat 17 As a result, the container is in a stable position, and oscillation of the container 1 is prevented
Mit dem Katzfahrwerk 21 (Fig 2) fahrt die Katze 17 im innenbereich des zweiarmigen Fahrtragers 12 in den Raum zwischen dem Containerbruckenportal 9, 10 Mit Erreichen dieser Position wird ein Signal zur Weiterfahrt an die zum Beispiel bereits wartende Katze 18 gemeldet Beide Katzen bewegen sich aufeinander zu (Fig 8) die Kreuzung findet statt Die Katze 18 fahrt dabei im Außenbereich des zweiarmigen Fahrtragers 12 und umfahrt mit seinem wannenartigen Unterteil 33 und den Seitenteilen 34 den mit der Katze 17 zu transportierenden Container 1With the trolley trolley 21 (FIG. 2), the cat 17 travels in the interior of the two-arm gantry 12 into the space between the container bridge portal 9, 10. When this position is reached, a signal to continue traveling to the cat 18, which is already waiting, is reported. Both cats move towards one another to (Fig. 8) the crossing takes place. The cat 18 travels in the outer region of the two-armed carriage 12 and bypasses the container 1 to be transported with the cat 17 with its trough-like lower part 33 and the side parts 34
Beide Katzen 17 und 18 setzen ihre Fahrt unabhängig voneinander fort (Fig 5), zum Beispiel die Katze 17 zur Abgabe des Containers 1 an Land und die Katze 18 zur Aufnahme eines Containers 1 im Schiff beziehungsweise bei gleichzeitigem Be- und Entladen zur Abgabe eines Containers 1Both cats 17 and 18 continue their journey independently of one another (FIG. 5), for example the cat 17 for delivering the container 1 to land and the cat 18 for receiving a container 1 in the ship or with simultaneous loading and unloading for the delivery of a container 1
Die Bewegungslinie des Containers 1 verlauft bei der Katze 17 im wesentlichen auf einer oberen Linie 37 und bei der Katze 18 auf einer unteren Linie 39 Die unter Linie 39 und der gesamte Raum unterhalb dieser Linie entspricht der bisher eingesetzten 1 Katz ContainerbruckeThe movement line of the container 1 runs essentially on the upper line 37 in the case of the cat 17 and on a lower line 39 in the case of the cat 18. The line 39 below and the entire space below this line corresponds to the previously used 1 cat container bridge
Mit dem zweiarmigen Fahrtrager 12, wie er in Figur 10 dargestellt ist, und der innerhalb des Fahrtragers 12 laufenden Katze 17 können Container bis unmittelbar an Seite Storkanten, z B Schiffsbrücken 40, gehandhabt werden Bei größeren Abstanden können auch hier die zweite Katze 18 zum Einsatz kommenWith the two-armed trolley 12, as shown in FIG. 10, and the trolley 17 running within the trolley 12, containers can be handled right up to the side of the star edges, for example ship bridges 40. At larger distances, the second trolley 18 can also be used here come
Das Verfahren hat den Vorteil, daß auf dem gesamten Transportweg der Container mit dem jeweiligen Spreader verbunden bleibt auch wenn sich die Fahrwege beider Katzen kreuzen Durch das Kreuzen innerhalb der Containerbruckenportale treten keine zusätzlichen Momente beziehungsweise Lasten auf die Kranschienen aufThe method has the advantage that the container remains connected to the respective spreader along the entire transport route, even if the routes of both are different Crossing cats By crossing within the container bridge portals there are no additional moments or loads on the crane rails
Weiterhin wird aus Figur 10 deutlich, daß dadurch, daß sich die Fahrbahnen 19, 20 der Katzen 17, 18 innerhalb der Containerlange befinden, besonders weit an die Schiffsbrücke 40 herangestaptelt werden kann Ausfuhrungsvarianten, wie die erfindungsgemaße Containerbrucke auch ausgeführt werden kann, ist den Figuren 11 und 12 zu entnehmen It is also clear from FIG. 10 that the fact that the lanes 19, 20 of the cats 17, 18 are within the container length means that the ship bridge 40 can be stacked particularly far. Embodiment variants of how the container bridge according to the invention can also be carried out are shown in the figures 11 and 12
