Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Containerbrücke entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des ersten Patentanspruches.
Die Containerbrücke ist überall dort einsetzbar, wo viele Ladeeinheiten in kurzer Zeit umgeschlagen werden müssen. Die Containerbrücke ist vor allem geeignet zum Be - und Entladen von Containern aus Schiffen auf Lagerplätze beziehungsweise auf Transportmittel, mit denen sie weitertransportiert werden.
Aus OS-DE 2 341 725 geht ein Brückenkran 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 fährt über die darunter befindliche Katze hinweg, wobei die zu transportierende Last durch die U-förmig ausgebildete untere Laufkatze hindurchfährt. Damit der Container der oberen Laufkatze nicht mit der U-förmigen 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 Container.The invention relates to a container bridge according to the preamble of the first claim.
The container bridge can be used wherever many loading units have to be handled in a short time. The container bridge is particularly suitable for loading and unloading containers from ships into storage bins or onto means of transport with which they are transported.
From 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 movable on lanes which are below the cat and which is movable under lanes on lanes which are above the cat lie. The upper cat moves over the cat underneath, 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 present on the upper trolley 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 Brückenkran die Fahrbahnen der Katzen außerhalb der Länge 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 sind.Furthermore, the lanes of the cats are outside of this bridge crane Length of the container to be transported arranged. This has the disadvantage that Problems with the takeover / handover in the area of the ship bridge arise can, if the containers are stacked very far to the bridge.

Aus DE 43 07 254 A1 ist ein Lastenverladekran bekannt, bei dem drei Katzen an einer Kranbrücke angeordnet sind, wobei zwei in ihrer Längsrichtung verfahrbare Hubeinheiten mit Hubwerk mit einer Transfereinheit zum Lastaustausch angeordnet sind. Die Transfereinheit kann doppelstöckig Lasten oder Container verfahren, wobei sie selbst nicht über eine Hubeinheit verfügt. Weiterhin ist es möglich, daß jede verfahrbare Hubeinheit mit Hubwerk auch durch die Transfereinheit hindurchfährt. Nicht möglich ist es allerdings, daß die Katzen mit Hubwerk und Container durch einander hindurchfahren, da das die Anordnung ihrer Fahrwerge und ihre Ausführung nicht möglich macht. Damit ist auch bei diesem Lastenverladekran keine Vorrichtung vorhanden, bei der mehrere Laufkatzen mit ihrer Last völlig unabhängig voneinander arbeiten können.From DE 43 07 254 A1 a load loading crane is known in which three cats on one Crane bridge are arranged, with two movable in their longitudinal direction Lifting units with a lifting mechanism arranged with a transfer unit for load exchange are. The transfer unit can move two-tier loads or containers, whereby it does not have a lifting unit itself. It is also possible that each movable lifting unit with lifting mechanism also passes through the transfer unit. Not however, it is possible that the cats with the hoist and container are jumbled drive through it, because the arrangement of their trolleys and their execution are not makes possible. This means that this load loading crane is not a device either present with several trolleys can work completely independently of each other with their load.

Das Dokument EP-A-0 318 264 offenbart eine Containerbrücke, bestehend aus zwei Auslegern, Hubwerk, einem Fahrweg, mindestens einem Portal und mindestens zwei Katzen, die auf jeweils eigenen Fahrbahnen des Auslegers an der Containerbrücke verfahren, wobei sich ihre Fahrwege kreuzen. Allerdings fahren die Katzen auf jeweils eigenen Fahrwegen, die nebeneinander angeordnet sind, so daß auf einem Fahrweg an einem Fahrträger immer nur eine Katze verkehr, wodurch die Containerbrücke relativ breit ausgelegt sein muß, was zu einem erhöhten Materialaufwand führt.Document EP-A-0 318 264 discloses a container bridge consisting of consisting of two brackets, hoist, one track, at least one portal and at least two cats, each on the jib's own lanes proceed at the container bridge, with their paths crossing. However, the cats each drive on their own routes are arranged side by side, so that on a track on a Carrier always only one cat traffic, which means the container bridge must be designed relatively broad, which leads to an increased cost of materials leads.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Containerbrücke zu entwickeln, an der mehrere Laufkatzen weitestgehend unabhängig voneinander, bei geringem Zeit- und Materialaufwand arbeiten können, wobei alle Laufkatzen mit einer Hubeinrichtung versehen sein sollen.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Containerbrücke entsprechend dem kennzeichnenden Teil des ersten bzw. zweiten Patentanspruches erfüllt. Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung wieder.
Die erfindungsgemäße Containerbrücke, bestehend aus einem zweiarmigen Fahrträger, einem Hubwerk, einem Fahrwerk und mindestens einem Portal, wobei die Katzen auf jeweils eigenen Fahrbahnen des Fahrträgers an der Containerbrücke verfahren und sich ihre Fahrwege kreuzen. Ausgehend von zwei Katzen, deren Fahrbahnen sich kreuzen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn diese beidseitig auf ihren Fahrbahnen verfahren. It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a container bridge on which several trolleys can work largely independently of one another, with little expenditure of time and material, all trolleys being intended to be provided with a lifting device.
This object is achieved by a container bridge according to the characterizing part of the first or second claim. Subclaims represent advantageous embodiments of the invention.
The container bridge according to the invention, consisting of a two-armed gantry, a hoist, a chassis and at least one portal, the cats moving on the gantry's own lanes at the container bridge and crossing their paths. Starting from two cats whose lanes cross, it is advantageous if they move on both sides of their lanes.

Erfindungsgemäß sind Fahrbahnen beider Katzen oberhalb der Katzen angeordnet. Das hat den Vorteil, daß die Katzen mit ihren Greifeinrichtungen unabhängig voneinander Container auch quer zur Fahrtrichtung transportieren können. According to the invention, the lanes of both cats are above the cats arranged. This has the advantage that the cats with their gripping devices Independently of each other, containers also crossways to the direction of travel can transport.

Beide Katzen können damit weitestgehend unabhängig voneinander Fahrzeuge und Lagerplätze be- und entladen, wobei jede der beiden Katzen den gesamten Bereich der Containerbrücke überfahren und bearbeiten kann.
Es ist weiterhin vorteilhaft, daß mindestens eine Seite des über das Portal hinausragenden Fahrträgers hochklappbar ist. Das ist vor allem dann von Vorteil, wenn anlandende Containerschiffe das erfordern oder aber dieser Bereich der Containerbrücke sich nicht im Einsatz befindet.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.
It is furthermore advantageous that at least one side of the carrier projecting beyond the portal can be folded up. This is of particular advantage when container ships that land require it or when this area of the container bridge is not in use.

Eine weitere Ausführung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Fahrbahnen der Katzen beidseitig eines einzigen Trägers verlaufen. Diese Ausführung ist besonders für Fälle geeignet, wo Container mit geringeren Lasten schnell zu transportieren sind.Another embodiment of the invention provides that the lanes of the cats run on both sides of a single beam. This version is especially for cases suitable where containers with low loads can be transported quickly.

Eine andere Ausführung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß jede Katze an einem jeweils anderen Träger verfahren kann.
Vorteilhaft ist es, die Fahrbahnen der Katzen innerhalb der Containerlänge eines quer transportierten Containers anzuordnen. Dadurch können die Container ohne Probleme sehr weit an die Schiffsbrücke herangestapelt werden.Another embodiment of the invention provides that each cat can move on a different carrier.
It is advantageous to arrange the lanes of the cats within the container length of a transversely transported container. This means that the containers can be stacked very far up to the ship's bridge without any problems.

Im folgenden wird die erfindungsgemäße Containerbrücke an zehn Figuren und einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. Die Figuren zeigen:

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 from container 1 from ship 2 to land 3. Depending on the size of ship 2, you can several container cranes 4 are used at the same time. On land they are Container 1 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 moves over rails 6 and 1 embedded in the floor Running gear 7 parallel to the quay edge 8. To a water-side portal 9 and land-side Portal 10 with stiffening struts 11 is a two-armed driving beam 12 over Fasteners 13 attached. The water-side projecting beyond portal 9 Carrier 12 can be used to dock and undock the ships 2 via a joint 38 and Hoist 14 can be folded up with ropes 15 and pulleys 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 cats 17 and 18 move on the drive carrier 12. Each cat is with everyone Equipment for longitudinal, lifting and gripping travel equipped. Every cat owns accordingly its own lane 19, 20, a longitudinal undercarriage 21, 22, a Energy supply 23, 24, a hoist 25, 26 with ropes 27, 28, a container Spreader 29, 30 and one cab 31, 32 for manual operation.

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 Horizontalkräften auf die Seitenteile 34 sind Führungsrollen 36 und Führungsschienen 37 zwischen der Katze 18 und dem Fahrträger 12 angebaut. Durch diese Anordnung ist eine kompakte Bauweise entstanden.In the case of the cat 18, a lower part 33, two side parts 34 and deflection rollers 35 the rope 28 led to the spreader 30. The actual hoist 26 is divided into two grown next to the longitudinal chassis 22. To derive horizontal forces on the Side parts 34 are guide rollers 36 and guide rails 37 between the cat 18th and the chassis 12 is attached. This arrangement is a compact design emerged.

Der Entladevorgang geht in folgender Weise vor sich:
Nach dem Anlegen des Schiffes 2 wird die Containerbrücke 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 unterbunden.The unloading process takes place in the following way:
After the ship 2 is moored, the container bridge 4 is moved into position via the trolleys 7 for unloading the containers 1. With the spreader 27, the cat 17 (FIG. 4) takes over a container 1 from the ship 2 and pulls it into the uppermost end position of the cat 17. The container is thereby in a stable position, a swinging of the container 1 is prevented.

Mit dem Katzfahrwerk 21 (Fig. 2) fährt die Katze 17 im Innenbereich des zweiarmigen Fahrträgers 12 in den Raum zwischen dem Containerbrückenportal 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 fährt dabei im Außenbereich des zweiarmigen Fahrträgers 12 und umfährt mit seinem wannenartigen Unterteil 33 und den Seitenteilen 34 den mit der Katze 17 zu transportierenden Container 1.With the trolley 21 (Fig. 2), the cat 17 travels in the interior of the two-armed Carrier 12 in the space between the container bridge portal 9, 10. When reached this position is a signal to continue to the one already waiting, for example Cat 18 reported. Both cats move towards each other (Fig. 8), the cross takes place. The cat 18 travels in the outer area of the two-armed carrier 12 and with its tub-like lower part 33 and the side parts 34 bypasses the one with the Cat 17 container to be transported 1.

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 1.Both cats 17 and 18 continue their journey independently of one another (FIG. 5). to the Example the cat 17 to deliver the container 1 on land and the cat 18 to Inclusion of a container 1 in the ship or with simultaneous loading and Unloading to deliver a container 1.

Die Bewegungslinie des Containers 1 verläuft 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 Katz Containerbrücke.The line of motion of the container 1 essentially runs on the cat 17 an upper line 37 and in the cat 18 on a lower line 39. The lower line 39 and the entire space below this line corresponds to that previously used Katz container bridge.

Mit dem zweiarmigen Fahrträger 12, wie er in Figur 10 dargestellt ist, und der innerhalb des Fahrträgers 12 laufenden Katze 17 können Container bis unmittelbar an Seite Störkanten, z. B. Schiffsbrücken 40, gehandhabt werden. Bei größeren Abständen können auch hier die zweite Katze 18 zum Einsatz kommen.With the two-armed carriage 12, as shown in Figure 10, and the inside the carrier 12 running cat 17 can containers up to the side Interfering edges, e.g. B. ship bridges 40 are handled. At larger distances the second cat 18 can also be used here.

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 Containerbrückenportale treten keine zusätzlichen Momente beziehungsweise Lasten auf die Kranschienen auf.The method has the advantage that the container along the entire transport route the respective spreader remains connected, even if the routes of both Cross cats. Step inside the container bridge portals by crossing 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 Containerlänge befinden, besonders weit an die Schiffsbrücke 40 herangestaptelt werden kann. Ausführungsvarianten, wie die erfindungsgemäße Containerbrücke auch ausgeführt werden kann, ist den Figuren 11 und 12 zu entnehmen. Furthermore, it is clear from Figure 10 that the fact that the lanes 19, 20 of the Cats 17, 18 are within the container length, particularly far from the Ship bridge 40 can be stacked up. Variants like the 11 can also be performed container bridge and 12.
