Ortsfeste FluggastbrückeFixed passenger boarding bridge
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine ortsfeste Fluggastbrücke gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a fixed passenger boarding bridge according to the preamble of claim 1.
Mit diesen auch als NOSE LOADER bezeichneten Fluggastbrücken werden in der Regel kleiner insbesondere Commuter Flugzeuge mit speziellen ausklappbaren Treppen und besonderen Türfigurationen abgefertigt. Bei diesen Flugzeugen besteht häufig das Problem, daß der Abstand zwischen der Bugtür und dem Triebwerk, insbesondere dem Propeller sehr gering ist, so daß bei Annäherung der Kabine an die Bugtür die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Triebwerkes beziehungsgsweise des Propellers oder der bordeigenen Treppe beziehungsweise des Treppengeländers besteht.These passenger boarding bridges, also known as NOSE LOADER, are generally used to handle smaller, in particular commuter, aircraft with special fold-out stairs and special door configurations. In these aircraft there is often the problem that the distance between the bow door and the engine, especially the propeller, is very small, so that when the cabin approaches the bow door there is a risk of damage to the engine or the propeller or the on-board stairs or the banister consists.
Bekannt sind auf dem Vorfeld bewegliche Kreisbogen-Fluggastbrücken, wobei teleskopierbare Tunnel und Kabine mittels Kreisbogen-Fahrwerk um eine Standbein-Rotunde geschwenkt und mittels Hubwerk der Türschwellenhöhe des Flugzeuges angepaßt werden können. Die Kabine ist dabei um eine senkrechte Achse drehbar am flugzeugseitigen Ende des Tunnels angeordnet (vgl. EP 302 709 A1 , US 30 60 471 A1 und US 57 61 757 A1 ).Moving circular passenger boarding bridges are known on the apron, whereby telescopic tunnels and cabin can be pivoted about a supporting leg rotunda by means of circular arch chassis and adapted to the door sill height of the aircraft by means of a lifting mechanism. The cabin is arranged rotatably about a vertical axis at the end of the tunnel on the aircraft side (cf. EP 302 709 A1, US 30 60 471 A1 and US 57 61 757 A1).
In der US 57 61 757 A1 ist darüber hinaus eine freie auf dem Vorfeld verfahrbare Teleskopbrücke beschrieben, deren Kabine mit einem speziell zum Andocken an Commuter-Flugzeuge konstruierten Kabinenboden versehen ist. Dazu ist ein Teil des Kabinenbodens horizontal unter den
anderen Teil des Kabinenbodens verschiebbar, so daß ein Freiraum entsteht zur Aufnahme des Geländers der ausgeklappten Flugzeugtreppe.US 57 61 757 A1 also describes a free telescopic bridge that can be moved on the apron, the cabin of which is provided with a cabin floor specially designed for docking onto commuter aircraft. For this purpose, part of the cabin floor is horizontal under the other part of the cabin floor slidable, so that a space is created for receiving the railing of the unfolded aircraft stairs.
Bekannt sind weiterhin, auf dem Vorfeld bewegliche Fluggastbrücken, bei denen die um eine Rotunde schwenkbaren, teleskopierbaren Tunnel nur geringfügig über dem Vorfeld angeordnet sind und das flugzeugseitige Tunnelende mittels Fahrwerk bis unmittelbar an die bordeigene Flugzeugtreppe herangefahren werden kann und die Passagiere das Commuter-Flugzeug stets ungeschützt über die bordeigende Treppe betreten beziehungsweise verlassen. Bei den zum Stand der Technik gehörigen Fluggastbrücken besteht das Problem, daß mit ihnen infolge ihrer freien Beweglichkeit und ihrer vergleichsweise schwer zu manövrierenden Masse beim An- und Abdocken es leicht zu einer Beschädigung des Propellers, der bordeigenen Treppe oder des Treppengeländers kommt. Soweit in jedem Fall die bordeigene Flugzeugtreppe benutzt wird und somit kein direkter Zugang zum Flugzeug auf Türschwellenhöhe vorhanden ist, haben zum Beispiel behinderte Passagiere keine Möglichkeit zum Beispiel direkt mit ihrem Rollstuhl in das Flugzeug hinein beziehungsweise aus diesem herauszufahren.Also known are passenger boarding bridges movable on the apron, in which the telescopic tunnels which can be pivoted about a rotunda are arranged only slightly above the apron and the aircraft-side tunnel end can be moved up to the on-board aircraft stairs by means of landing gear and the passengers always the commuter aircraft Enter or leave unprotected via the on-board stairs. The problem with the state-of-the-art passenger boarding bridges is that, due to their free mobility and their comparatively difficult to maneuver mass when docking and undocking, the propeller, the on-board stairs or the banister are easily damaged. Insofar as the on-board aircraft stairs are used in any case and thus there is no direct access to the aircraft at the threshold of the door, disabled passengers, for example, have no option, for example, of getting into and out of the aircraft directly with their wheelchair.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Fluggastbrücke vorzuschlagen, wobei die Kabine problemlos ohne die Gefahr einer Beschädigung der Triebwerke, der bordeigenen Treppen oder Treppengeländer direkt an die Bugtür herangefahren werden kann.The invention has for its object to propose a passenger boarding bridge, wherein the cabin can be driven directly to the bow door without any risk of damage to the engines, the on-board stairs or banisters.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Patentanspruch 1 angegeben. Die Unteransprüche 2 bis 8 enthalten sinnvolle Ausführungsformen dazu.The solution to this problem is specified in claim 1. The sub-claims 2 to 8 contain useful embodiments.
Erfindungsgemäß wird auf der NOSEIN-Standposition eine ortsfeste Fluggastbrücke vorgesehen, deren zum Flugzeug hin teleskopierender Tunnel mit einem zum Flugzeug lateral, vorzugsweise parallel zur
Flugzeugrollinie, verschiebbaren Quertunnel versehen ist, an dessen Ende die Kabine mit flexiblem Vordach und einem vorzugsweise ganz oder teilweise verschiebbaren Boden angebracht ist. Durch die ortsfeste Ausführung der Fluggastbrücke mit ihren wegen vergleichsweise geringer Masse leicht und präzise in festen Führungsbahnen steuerbaren beweglichen Komponenten (Teleskoptunnel, Quertunnel und Kabine) verbunden mit bestmöglicher sieht des Brückenfahrers auf Propeller, Triebwerk und bordeigene Fluggasttreppe wird die Gebahr einer Beschädigung des Flugzeuges durch die Fluggastbrücke praktisch ausgeschlossen. Der er indungsgemäß am inneren Tunnel verschiebbar angebrachte Quertunnel kann an seinem dem Triebwerk zugewandten Ende vorzugsweise unter circa 45° abgeschrägt senkrechte Wände besitzen, damit ein zusätzlicher Sicherheitsabstand zum Propellter beziehungsweise Triebwerk erzielt wird und zugleich für das Wartungspersonal auch bei angedockter Fluggastbrücke ausreichend Platz zur Inspektion des Flugzeug-Triebwerkes verbleibt. In der abgeschrägten Wand des Quertunnels sind zweckmäßigerweise ein oder mehrere große Fenster angeordnet, unter denen das Steuerpult derart angeordnet plaziert ist, daß der Brückenfahrer zum einen durch die Fenster die Fenster eine gute Sicht auf das Triebwerk und zum anderen durch die insbesonde vollverglaste Kabinenschiebetür eine gute Sicht auf die Flugzeugtür beziehungsweise auf die herausgeklappte Treppentür mit ihrem Treppengeländer sowie auf das Kabinenvordach und auf den verschiebbaren Boden mit seinen elastischen an die Türschwelle heranzufahrenden Dämpfern erhält.According to the invention, a stationary passenger boarding bridge is provided on the NOSEIN standing position, the tunnel telescoping towards the aircraft with a tunnel laterally, preferably parallel to the aircraft Aircraft taxi line, movable cross tunnel is provided, at the end of which the cabin is attached with a flexible canopy and a floor that is preferably fully or partially movable. The fixed design of the passenger boarding bridge with its movable components (telescope tunnel, cross tunnel and cabin), which can be easily and precisely controlled in fixed guideways due to its comparatively low mass, combined with the best possible view of the bridge driver on propellers, engines and on-board passenger stairs, reduces the risk of damage to the aircraft Passenger boarding bridge practically impossible. The transverse tunnel, which is slidably attached to the inner tunnel, may have vertical walls at its end facing the engine, preferably bevelled at approximately 45 °, so that an additional safety distance from the propeller or engine is achieved and, at the same time, there is sufficient space for the maintenance personnel to inspect even when the passenger boarding bridge is docked Aircraft engine remains. In the bevelled wall of the transverse tunnel, one or more large windows are expediently arranged, under which the control panel is placed in such a way that the bridge driver has a good view of the engine through the windows and a good view through the fully glazed cabin sliding door View of the aircraft door or of the folded-out staircase door with its banister, as well as the canopy and the sliding floor with its elastic dampers that can be moved up to the door sill.
Aus Sicherheitsgründen hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, die Bewegungen der Versteileinrichtungen für den Quertunnel und den teleskopierbaren Tunnel derart gegeneinander zu verriegeln, das jeweils nur eine Bewegung ausgeführt werden kann. Dadurch wird eine einfache und sichere Bedienung der Fluggastbrücke gewährleistet und Beschädigungen des Propellers beziehungsweise der bordeigenen Treppe und
insbesondere des Treppengeländers können verhindert werden. Zusätzlich hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, zwischen dem Teleskoptunnel und dem Quertunnel einen Versteilantrieb anzuordnen, mit dem der Quertunnel horizontal zum Flugzeug hin ausgerichtet werden kann.For security reasons, it has proven to be advantageous to lock the movements of the adjusting devices for the transverse tunnel and the telescopic tunnel in such a way that only one movement can be carried out at a time. This ensures simple and safe operation of the passenger boarding bridge and damage to the propeller or the on-board stairs and in particular the banister can be prevented. In addition, it has proven to be advantageous to arrange an adjusting drive between the telescope tunnel and the transverse tunnel, with which the transverse tunnel can be aligned horizontally towards the aircraft.
Die Errfindung wird anhand der beigefügten Figuren 1 und 2 beispielsweise näher erläutert. Es zeigen:The invention is explained in more detail, for example, with the aid of the attached FIGS. 1 and 2. Show it:
Figur 1 eine perspektivische Darstellung der ortsfesten Fluggastbrücke mit in die Parkstellung zurückgefahrenen beweglichen Komponenten Teleskoptunnel, Quertunnel und Kabine sowie des in die Parkposition des NOSEIN-Standes eingerollten Commuter- Flugzeuges mit Propellertriebwerk; Figur 2 eine perspektivische Darstellung der ortsfesten Fluggastbrücke mit ihren zum geparkten Commuter-Flugzeug mit ausgeschwenkter bordeigener Treppentür hin ausgefahrenen beweglichen Komponenten.Figure 1 is a perspective view of the fixed passenger boarding bridge with moving components retracted into the parking position telescope tunnel, cross tunnel and cabin as well as the commuter aircraft with propeller engine rolled into the parking position of the NOSEIN stand; Figure 2 is a perspective view of the fixed passenger boarding bridge with its movable components extended towards the parked commuter aircraft with the on-board staircase door swung out.
Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen anschaulich die für die Erfindung relevanten Bauteile der Fluggastbrücke. In der Parkstellung der Figur 1 ist der teleskopierbare innere Tunnel 1 mittels eines in beiden Richtungen wirksamen Zylinders 2 gänzlich in den am festen Verbindungssteg 3 befestigten äußeren Tunnel 4 eingefahren. Ebenso ist der stirnseitig vor dem Tunnel 1 angeordnete und quer dazu verschiebbare Quertunnel 5 mittels eines in beiden Richtungen wirksamen Hubzylinders 6 gänzlich in die vom Propellertriebwerk entfernteste Position zurückgefahren. Anstelle der beiden vorgenannten Hubzylinder 2, 6 können wahlweise auch andere in beiden Richtungen wirksame VerStellantriebe mittels Rollenketten, Zahnstangen, Spindeln und so weiter verwendet werden. Der Verbindungssteg 23 ist über ein Standbein 7 fest mit dem Vorfeld verbunden und bildet mit seinem Verbindungstunnel 8 die Verbindung zum Flughafenterminal. In der Parkstellung der Figur 1 wird der bewegliche Teil der Fluggastbrücke mittels eines Zylinders 9 in der Regel
bereits auf die Türschwellenhöhe des abzufertigenden Flugzeuges angehoben, wobei der Hubzylinder einerseits gelenkig auf der mit dem Vorfeld fest verbundenen Bodenplatte 10 und andererseits gelenkig unter dem äußeren Tunnel 4 befestigt ist. Anstelle des Hubzylinders 9 kann wahlweise auch ein mit einer Spindel versehener VerStellantrieb vorgesehen werden. In der Parkstellung der Figur 1 ist das flexible Faltenvordach 11 der Kabine 12 vollständig eingefahren, ebenso der im ganzen seitlich verschiebbare Kabinenboden 13 mit seinem Schutzgeländer 14. Am flugzeugseitigen Ende des Quertunnels 5 ist unterhalb eines großen Fensters 15 das Steuerpult 16 angeordnet, um dem Brückenfahrer bestmögliche Sicht auf das Propellertriebwerk zu geben. Durch die vollverglaste, vorzugsweise als Schiebetür ausgebildete Kabinentür 17 wird dem Brückenfahrer ebenso gute Sicht auf die Flugzeugtür beziehungsweise auf die ausgeklappte Flugzeugtreppe mit dem Treppengeländer gegeben. Neben dem Fenster 15 ist eine leichte Übergangsrampe 18 plaziert, die bei der Abfertigung von Flugzeugen mit ausklappbarer Treppentür und beidseitigen Treppengeländern wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, benötigt wird. Figur 2 zeigt die Fluggastbrücke in der Abfertigungsstellung. In diesem Fall ist sie an ein Flugzeug mit Propeller- Triebwerk und ausgeklappter Treppentür mit beidseitigem Geländer angedockt. Bei einem gesicherten Mindestabstand zwischen der rechten Flugzeugtürkante und der Propellernasenspitze von nur 50 cm besteht keine Kollisionsgefahr, wenn der Brückenfahrer mit seitlich nach links verschobenem Kabinenboden 13 zuerst den Quertunnel 5 nach rechts zum Propellertriebwerk hin soweit verschiebt bis die Innenkante der rechten Seite des Faltdaches 11 mit der Außenseite des ausgeklappten rechten Treppengeländers zuzüglich eines etwa handbreiten Sicherheitsabstandes übereinstimmt und daran anschließend den inneren Tunnel 1 sowiet austeleskopiert bis der Kabinenboden 13 mit seinem elastischen Bumper 19 an das Flugzeug angelegt hat. Abschließend wird der Kabinenboden 13 mit seinem Schutzgeländer 14 bis nahe an die Außenseite des linken Treppengeländers 20 herangeschoben, was
sowohl von Hand als auch mittels eines Versteilantriebes erfolgen kann. Als letztes wird die Übergangsrampe 18 zwischen beiden Treppengeländern 20, 21 plaziert. Bei Flugzeugen mit ausklappbaren Treppentüren und nur einseitig rechts angeordnetem Geländer 21 bleibt die Übergangsrampe 18 unbenutzt.
Figures 1 and 2 clearly show the components of the passenger boarding bridge relevant to the invention. In the parked position in FIG. 1, the telescopic inner tunnel 1 is completely moved into the outer tunnel 4 fastened to the fixed connecting web 3 by means of a cylinder 2 which is effective in both directions. Likewise, the transverse tunnel 5, which is arranged at the end in front of the tunnel 1 and can be displaced transversely thereto, has been completely moved back into the position furthest from the propeller engine by means of a lifting cylinder 6 which is effective in both directions. Instead of the two aforementioned lifting cylinders 2, 6, it is also possible to use other adjusting drives which are effective in both directions by means of roller chains, toothed racks, spindles and so on. The connecting web 23 is firmly connected to the apron via a supporting leg 7 and, with its connecting tunnel 8, forms the connection to the airport terminal. In the parked position in FIG. 1, the movable part of the passenger boarding bridge is generally activated by means of a cylinder 9 already raised to the door sill height of the aircraft to be dispatched, the lifting cylinder being articulated on the one hand on the base plate 10 firmly connected to the apron and articulated under the outer tunnel 4. Instead of the lifting cylinder 9, an adjusting drive provided with a spindle can optionally be provided. In the parked position of FIG. 1, the flexible folding canopy 11 of the cabin 12 has been completely retracted, as has the cabin floor 13 with its protective railing 14, which can be moved laterally throughout. At the end of the transverse tunnel 5 on the aircraft side, the control panel 16 is arranged below the large window 15 to assist the bridge driver to give the best possible view of the propeller engine. The fully glazed cabin door 17, which is preferably designed as a sliding door, gives the bridge driver an equally good view of the aircraft door or of the unfolded aircraft stairs with the banister. A light transition ramp 18 is placed next to window 15, which is required for the handling of aircraft with fold-out staircase doors and stair rails on both sides, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 2 shows the passenger boarding bridge in the handling position. In this case, it is docked to an aircraft with a propeller engine and an open stair door with a railing on both sides. With a secured minimum distance of only 50 cm between the right edge of the aircraft door and the tip of the propeller nose, there is no risk of collision if the bridge driver with the cabin floor 13 shifted laterally to the left first shifts the transverse tunnel 5 to the right to the propeller engine until the inner edge of the right side of the folding roof 11 also the outside of the unfolded right handrail, plus an approximately hand-wide safety distance, and then subsequently telescoped the inner tunnel 1 until the cabin floor 13 has applied to the aircraft with its elastic bumper 19. Finally, the cabin floor 13 with its protective railing 14 is pushed close to the outside of the left handrail 20, which can be done both by hand and by means of an adjustment drive. Finally, the transition ramp 18 is placed between the two banisters 20, 21. The transition ramp 18 remains unused in airplanes with fold-out staircase doors and only one railing 21 arranged on one side on the right.
