Definitions

  • the invention aims to create a shelf vehicle rational storage and retrieval of paper rolls, especially in the printing industry (printers), which with a cheap trained admission both bottom and higher lying Grip paper rolls with different diameters perfectly and can transport safely.
  • shelf vehicle should be simple if necessary can be quickly moved out of its tramline.
  • This task is characterized by the characteristics of the Claim 10 solved.
  • the shelf vehicle according to the invention is one of one Fork formed receptacle equipped, which over measuring organs according to the registered load of the paper roll by one horizontal axis is brought into a horizontal position, i.e. the recorded and if necessary the fork tilts down Paper roll load is balanced by the measuring elements by these give their measurement data to an actuator, which then the Fork around the horizontal axis in the horizontal position pivoted.
  • the fork is designed so cheap that it is a results in a flat recording and thereby for the most varied Roll diameter is designed, with this fork also on paper rolls lying on the floor and paper rolls lying higher up can be detected safely.
  • the fork is on the shelf vehicle next to the height swivel transversely to the direction of travel of the shelf vehicle for entering and leaving Outsource and in the direction of travel of the rack vehicle with or without Roll rotatable, what a fork with its frame receiving turntable, which with the fork on a lifting and Drive unit of the shelf vehicle is stored; this stroke and Driving unit allows the fork to be retracted and extended Roll of paper to and from this and to the other Height movement to the respective position of the record or dispensed roll of paper.
  • Another advantage of the invention lies in a shelf vehicle firmly integrated or coupled with the rack vehicle Transport trolley with two coaxial pivot pins of the Shelf vehicle frame cooperates and the shelf vehicle on the one hand lifts off its track and on the other hand that Shelf vehicle around the horizontal bolts in an inclined position pivoted so that this quickly and through the inclined position If necessary, move out of the aisle without any problems can be.
  • This rack vehicle is particularly suitable for storage and retrieval of paper rolls in print shops, but ultimately also for storage and retrieval of other goods can be used.
  • the rack vehicle (RFZ) for storing and retrieving paper rolls (P), especially in the printing industry, is in an alley (G) between two-sided, paper rolls (P) one above the other and in Aisle-length bearing locations one behind the other movable and has a receptacle (1) for a paper roll (P) on.
  • the shelf vehicle has a frame (2), preferably U-frame (2), which with its two vertical from the U-shaped stands (2a) each on a motor driven chassis (3) supports.
  • Each landing gear has one Tragrad, preferably made of steel, as well as a plastic-coated Drive wheel on.
  • the trolleys (3) run on and on one with guide rollers (4) on / in the hall floor (B) or in a pit (5) -Crane rail-.
  • Paper rolls (P) arranged one above the other, with a paper roll (P) on the hall floor (B) or on a flat floor Bearing point (L) and the second roller (P) at a distance about how Fig. 2 shows.
  • rollers (P) can also be superimposed and in the aisle longitudinal direction -RFZ-Direction of travel- rows Paper rolls (P) are lying.
  • the receptacle (1) is of a about a horizontal axis (6) height-adjustable fork (1) and with the load capacity of the formed measuring roll (P) recording paper roll (P) formed, which the determined measurement data via a controller to one with the Fork (1) motion-coupled actuator (8) forward, which the fork (1) according to the measurement data in the horizontal position is pivoted in height and in this horizontal Holds the position during the paper roll transport.
  • the fork (1) has prism and arcuate receiving sections (a, b, c) for different diameters of the paper rolls (P), as shown in Figs. 1 and 6.
  • the fork (1) is attached to a vertical fork frame (9), with its upper end in the horizontal pivot axis (6) is stored and from the actuator (8) for fork height pivoting is applied.
  • the actuator can both can be driven by an electric motor but also hydraulically.
  • the fork (1) with its fork frame (9) is above a slewing ring (10) on one of a hoist frame (11) and a traveling frame (12) formed lifting and driving unit suspended. This will make the Fork (1) transverse to the RFZ direction of travel for rolling in and out Outsourcing twisted and then with or without roller (P) in Direction of travel of the RFZ turned back (Fig. 4).
  • the fork frame (9) rests in the upper end of the frame extending pivot axis (6) on a fork truss (13); this Fork truss (13) is fixed at the top of the slewing ring (10) and the slewing ring (10) has a chassis (14) on the chassis (14) kept movable for storing and retrieving rolls.
  • Actuator (8) is set, which on the lifting part (8a) on Fork frame (9) acts.
  • the travel frame (12) is at both ends with the hoist frame (11) Connection and the hoist frame (11) is also in guides (2b) on the stands (2a) of the frame (2) of the rack vehicle (RFZ) height-adjustable; the lifting and driving unit (11, 12) thus extends between the stands (2a) and is of the lowest to the top paper roll (P) in the frame (2) moved vertically.
  • Transport frame - coupled or detachable, i.e. the dolly (TW) is a fix provided on the frame (2) or on the frame (2) attachable mobile component.
  • the transport trolley (TW) is designed like a portal and has Height-adjustable lifting parts (15) with idlers (16) for lifting the Shelf vehicle (RFZ) from its hall floor or pit side Track (5).
  • the lifting parts (15) with the steerable idlers (16) can be mechanical (hand crank 18), electric motor or hydraulic height process.
  • the deep-drawn free space channel (17a) lies in the stroke area the fork (1) so that it is close to the hall floor (B) Underneath on the hall floor (B) or a flat one Bearing point (L) -Adapter- with its lifting and driving unit (11, 12) can lower.
  • the receptacle (1) is of a mandrel, preferably telescopic mandrel, which is used for the Ein- and Outsourcing the paper rolls (P) engages in their roll core (pushed in and pulled out).
  • the RFZ moves to the center of the by means of a positioning system
  • Paper roll pick-up or storage position lowers a lifting unit (11, 12) the receiving fork (1) below the From the roll receiving area and drives the receiving fork (1) under the paper roll to be picked up (P), i.e. into the storage compartment (Fig. 2).
  • the fork (1) is raised and takes over the role (P) from Adapter.
  • the horizontal position becomes during this lifting process the fork (1) by an ultrasonic measuring system (7) in connection with an actuator (8) ensures that the fork frame (9) around can adjust the swivel axis (6).
  • a mobile transport trolley TW
  • TW mobile transport trolley
  • a mobile transport trolley who lifts the RFZ out of the running rail (5) and around the if necessary Swivel the axle bolt (14) at an angle and move it sideways out of the shelf aisle (G) can pull (Fig. 5).
  • the fork (1) is thus in a via the slewing ring (10) perpendicular to the RFZ direction of travel for rolling in and out Outsource and in a parallel to the RFZ direction of travel Roller transport and empty position rotated and with the lifting and driving unit (11, 12) in the height direction on the inputs and Delivery position and across and along the RFZ direction of travel in the Storage and retrieval position and for roll or empty transport brought.
  • a special safety control system enables more than one RFZ drive in a shelf aisle.
