Abstract

The invention relates to a transport system for moving empty baggage trolleys from a wide range of locations in a building complex to baggage trolley depots. Said system comprises towers (1, 2) with paternoster lifts for the vertical transport from any floor of a building, as well as horizontal transport units in the form of over-head conveyors (4) which connect the towers with each other. The overhead conveyors ensure optimal use of existing available space (no need for additional space).

Description

TransportSystem für GepäckwagenTransport system for luggage trolleys
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Transportsystem für die Ueberführung leerer Gepäckwagen (sogenannte Kofferkuli) aus verschiedenen Stockwerken eines sich aus mehreren Gebäuden zusammensetzenden Gebäudekomplexes an eine oder mehrere Gepäckwagen-Depotstellen, mit in jedem Einzelgebäude mindestens einem Paternosterlift zur Aufnahme und zum vertikalen Transport der Gepäckwagen aus einem beliebigen Stockwerk zu einem Stockwerk, in welchem ein im wesentlichen horizontaler Weitertransport vorgesehen ist, wobei für diesen Weitertransport von einem vertikalen Paternosterlift zu einem anderen vertikalen Paternosterlift eine Kreislauf-Transportanlage vorgesehen ist.The present invention relates to a transport system for transferring empty luggage trolleys (so-called luggage trolleys) from different floors of a building complex composed of several buildings to one or more luggage trolley depot locations, with at least one paternoster lift in each individual building for receiving and vertically transporting the luggage trolleys from one any floor to a floor in which an essentially horizontal onward transport is provided, a circulation transport system being provided for this onward transport from a vertical paternoster lift to another vertical paternoster lift.
In grossen Gebäudekomplexen, insbesondere in Flughäfen, wurden für die Rückführung leerer Gepäckwagen zu Depots , insbesondere den Depots bei den Ankunft-Terminals, bereits Vertikallifte, insbesondere Paternosterlifte vorgeschlagen. Neben dem Vertikaltransport wurden auch für den Horizontaltransport zwischen einzelnen Vertikallift-Türmen, insbesondere zu den sich nahe der Depotstellen befindlichen Vertikallift-Türmen Kreislauf- Transportanlagen vorgeschlagen. Derartige TransportSysteme, welche nach dem Vorbild von Lagerbedienungsanlagen auch elektronisch gesteuert bzw. bedient werden können, werden in Zu- kunft die rein manuelle Rückführung der Gepäckwagen ersetzen. Nur die vollautomatischen und gekoppelten modernen Systeme vermögen zu gewährleisten, dass bei minimalstem Personalaufwand an den Depots der Ankunfts-terminals immer eine ausreichende Anzahl Gepäckwagen zur Verfügung steht. - 2 -In large building complexes, particularly in airports, vertical lifts, in particular paternoster lifts, have already been proposed for returning empty baggage carts to depots, in particular the depots at the arrival terminals. In addition to vertical transport, cycle transport systems have also been proposed for horizontal transport between individual vertical lift towers, in particular to the vertical lift towers located near the depot points. Such transport systems, which can also be electronically controlled or operated based on the example of warehouse operating systems, will in future replace the purely manual return of the baggage carts. Only the fully automated and coupled modern systems can ensure that a sufficient number of baggage trolleys is always available at the depots of the arrival terminals with minimal personnel expenditure. - 2 -
Die bisher vorgesehenen Kreislauf-Transportanlagen für die "horizontale" Verschiebung der Gepäckwagen hat jedoch den Nachteil, dauernd sehr viel Platz zu beanspruchen und zwar auch dann, wenn gar kein Transport erfolgt. Dies hat schliesslich Auswirkungen auf die Baugrösse der Gebäude und ist daher äusserst kostspielig.However, the previously provided circuit transport systems for the "horizontal" shifting of the luggage wagons has the disadvantage of constantly taking up a lot of space, even when there is no transport at all. Ultimately, this has an impact on the size of the building and is therefore extremely expensive.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war es, ein Transportsystem zu schaffen, welches frei von diesen Nachteilen ist, ohne jedoch damit wesentlich grössere Kosten für die Transportanlagen selbst zu verursachen.The object of the present invention was to provide a transport system which is free from these disadvantages, but without causing significantly greater costs for the transport systems themselves.
Es hat sich nun eine überraschende Lösung dieser Aufgabe gezeigt, indem bei einem Transportsystem der eingangs definierten Art die Kreislauf-Transportanlage für den "horizontalen" Transport erfindungsgemäss als Ueberkopf-Förderer ausgebildet ist, wobei zur Aufnahme der Gepäckwagen Aufnahmebehälter (eine Art Kabinen) vorgesehen sind, welche mit dem Förderer fest oder vorübergehend abkoppelbar verbunden sind.A surprising solution to this problem has now been found in that, in a transport system of the type defined at the outset, the cycle transport system for "horizontal" transport is designed according to the invention as an overhead conveyor, with receptacles (a type of cabin) being provided for accommodating the luggage carts , which are permanently or temporarily disconnectable from the conveyor.
Besondere Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert .Particular embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
Das erfindungsgemäss konzipierte Transportsystem lässt sich deshalb problemlos ausführen, als in Gebäuden mit hohem Instal- lations- und Personenaufkommen die Stockwerkhöhen derart sind, dass die Ueberkopf-Förderer in Deckennähe montierbar sind und damit keinen sonst ausnutzbaren Platz beanspruchen. In Parkhäu- sern lassen sich die Kanäle, in denen die Ueberkopf-Förderer untergebracht sind auch in Bodennähe, entlang von Wänden etc. montieren, da dort das Platzproblem von untergeordneter Bedeutung ist. - 3 -The transport system designed according to the invention can therefore be carried out without any problems when, in buildings with a high number of installations and people, the floor heights are such that the overhead conveyors can be installed near the ceiling and thus do not take up any other usable space. In car parks, the channels in which the overhead conveyors are housed can also be installed near the floor, along walls, etc., since the space problem is of minor importance. - 3 -
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels noch etwas näher erläutert . Es zeigt :The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. It shows :
Fig. 1 eine rein schematische Darstellung eines erfindungsge- mässen TransportSystems, mit zwei Lifttürmen mit Paternosterliften und einem "horizontalen" Ueberkopf- Kreislaufförderer auf einer Ebene zwischen den Türmen,1 is a purely schematic representation of a transport system according to the invention, with two lift towers with paternoster lifts and a "horizontal" overhead circulation conveyor on a level between the towers,
Fig. 2 einen Schnitt durch einen in einem Kanal verlaufenden Ueberkopf-Förderer (Hin- und Rücklauf im selben Kanal) ,2 shows a section through an overhead conveyor running in a channel (forward and return in the same channel),
Fig. 3 eine Variante, bei welcher der Kreislauf-Förderer nur in einer Richtung verläuft (führt z.B. an einer Vielzahl von Türmen vorbei) , undFig. 3 shows a variant in which the circulation conveyor runs only in one direction (e.g. leads past a large number of towers), and
Fig. 4 schematisch die Möglichkeiten der Bogenführung bzw. und 5 der Steigungsüberwindung mittels Ueberkopf-Förderer.Fig. 4 shows schematically the possibilities of sheet guidance and and 5 of climbing gradients by means of overhead conveyors.
Fig. 1 der Zeichnung zeigt rein schematisch die Anordnung von zwei Türmen 1, 2 (einer Vielzahl von Türmen) mit jeweils einem Paternosterlift zum Vertikaltransport von Gepäckwagen 3 zwi- sehen verschiedenen Stockwerken von Gebäuden. Die beiden Türme können sich in verschiedenen Gebäuden des Gesamtkomplexes befinden.Fig. 1 of the drawing shows purely schematically the arrangement of two towers 1, 2 (a plurality of towers), each with a paternoster lift for the vertical transport of luggage carts 3 between different floors of buildings. The two towers can be located in different buildings of the overall complex.
Zwischen den beiden Türmen 1, 2 ist auf einer Ebene eine Querbzw. HorizontalVerbindung mittels eines Ueberkopf-Förderers 4 vorgesehen.Between the two towers 1, 2 is a Querbzw on one level. Horizontal connection provided by means of an overhead conveyor 4.
Dieser Förderer 4 (siehe auch Fig. 2 und 3) ist in einem allseitig geschlossenen Kanal 5 untergebracht . Zur Aufnahme der - 4 -This conveyor 4 (see also FIGS. 2 and 3) is accommodated in a channel 5 which is closed on all sides. To accommodate the - 4 -
Gepäckwagen 3 sind kabinenartige Aufnahmebehälter 5 vorgesehen, welche z.B. zwölf einzelne, ineinandergeschobene Wagen 3 (Wagenblock) aufnehmen können.Luggage trolleys 3 are provided with cabin-like receptacles 5 which e.g. can accommodate twelve individual, nested wagons 3 (wagon block).
Die Uebergabeebene kann sich auf Höhe des Stockwerkbodens be- finden, oder aber auf einer über diesem Boden liegenden separaten Ebene.The transfer level can be at the level of the floor or on a separate level above this floor.
Die Wagen werden durch vollautomatischen Ein- bzw. Ausschub des ganzen Wagenblocks von den Aufnahmebehältern (bei gestopptem Förderer) in den (ebenfalls gestoppten und positionierten) Pa- ternosterlift geschoben. Es ist aber auch denkbar (siehe Fig. 1) , die Aufnahmebehälter 6 vom Ueberkopf-Förderer abzukoppeln und, mit den Wagen beladen, in eine Aufnahmegondel des Paternosterliftes zu schieben (alles automatisch bzw. computergesteuert) . Die Aufnahmebehälter können auch über Weichen gesteuert, z.B. in ein Wagendepot, gebracht und von dort für den Weitertransport wieder abgerufen werden.The carriages are pushed from the receptacles (with the conveyor stopped) into the (also stopped and positioned) paternoster lift by fully automatic insertion and removal of the entire carriage block. However, it is also conceivable (see FIG. 1) to decouple the receptacle 6 from the overhead conveyor and, loaded with the car, to push it into a receptacle gondola of the paternoster lift (everything automatically or computer-controlled). The receptacles can also be controlled via switches, e.g. brought to a depot and retrieved from there for further transport.
Die Kanäle 5 zur Aufnahme des Ueberkopf-Förderers 4 haben z.B. eine Höhe von 2 - 2,5 m und eine Breite von 1,5 - 3,0 m, je nachdem ob es sich um Einzel- oder Doppelführung des Förderers handelt.The channels 5 for receiving the overhead conveyor 4 have e.g. a height of 2 - 2.5 m and a width of 1.5 - 3.0 m, depending on whether the conveyor is single or double.
Bei diesen Abmessungen lassen sich auch Bögen mit einem Radius von ca. 4 m und Steigungen bis ca. 15° bewerkstelligen (siehe Fig. 4 und 5) .With these dimensions, arches with a radius of approx. 4 m and gradients up to approx. 15 ° can also be achieved (see FIGS. 4 and 5).
In der Regel werden in einem grossen Gebäudekomplex mehr als zwei Türme mit Vertikalpaternostern vorhanden sein. In diesem Fall wird vorzugsweise dafür gesorgt, dass zwischen allen Türmen eine Verbindung zum Horizontaltransport besteht, z.B. indem - 5 -As a rule, there will be more than two towers with vertical paternoster in a large building complex. In this case, it is preferably ensured that there is a connection to the horizontal transport between all towers, for example by - 5 -
der Kreislauf-Förderer "einspurig" an allen Türmen vorbeiführt (Fig. 3) .the circulation conveyor "single track" past all towers (Fig. 3).
Der Kern der erfinderischen Idee liegt darin, für den Horizontaltransport Ueberkopf-Umlaufförderer zu verwenden, was dank der völlig flexiblen Linienführung (Kurven, Weichen, Steigungen, Gefälle, etc.) eine maximale Raumausnutzung und damit schliesslich den optimalen Einsatz als Gesamt-Förder- und Transportsystem zulässt .The essence of the inventive idea is to use overhead overhead circulating conveyors for horizontal transport, which thanks to the completely flexible lines (curves, switches, inclines, inclines, etc.) makes maximum use of space and ultimately optimal use as a total conveyor and Transport system allows.
Vorzugsweise verfügt jeder Gepäckwagen über einen sogenannten Transponder, sodass durch ein überlagertes EDV-Management- System das Gesamtsystem vollautomatisch steuerbar ist .Each baggage car preferably has a so-called transponder, so that the overall system can be controlled fully automatically by means of a superimposed IT management system.
Die vollautomatischen Abläufe, insbesondere das Umladen der Gepäckwagen könnten bei einfacheren Anlagen selbstverständlich auch teilweise durch manuelle Eingriffe ersetzt werden. The fully automatic processes, in particular the reloading of the baggage car, could of course also be partially replaced by manual intervention in simpler systems.
