Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for handling hollow cylindrical bodies, particularly sheet metal coils.
  • sheet metal coils or the like have considerable dimensions and weight, said weight being able to reach values close to 40 tons, and their manual handling is therefore not only difficult and slow but also tiring and dangerous for operators.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the above noted drawbacks of known types of handling apparatuses, by providing an apparatus for handling hollow cylindrical bodies, particularly sheet metal coils, that allows easy and improved maneuverability and allows to handle the coils simply, safely and rapidly within an industrial area and to limit the intervention of qualified operators and consequently contain labor costs and improve workplace safety.
  • an object of the present invention is to achieve the above aim with a structure that is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe in use, effective in operation, and relatively low in cost.
  • the present apparatus for handling hollow cylindrical bodies, particularly sheet metal coils characterized in that it comprises a frame for supporting means for gripping said body, which are associated therewith so as to rotate and perform a translational motion respectively about a substantially vertical axis and along a substantially horizontal axis, and first and second actuation means, said frame being associable with self-propelled lifting and transport means.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates an apparatus for handling hollow cylindrical bodies, particularly sheet metal coils R.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a frame 2 that supports, in a suspended configuration, means for gripping the coil R, which are constituted by a fork 3; the fork 3 is associated with the frame 2 so that it can rotate and perform a translational motion respectively about a vertical axis A and along a horizontal axis B.
  • the frame 2 is anchored to self-propelled lifting and transport means 4, such as for example a lift truck.
  • the frame 2 is constituted by two mutually spaced and parallel uprights 5, which are connected by cross-members 6 and from which a bracket 7 protrudes forward.
  • the bracket 7 is arranged substantially horizontally and the fork 3 is suspended below it.
  • the vertical axis A is formed by a pivot, not shown because of a known type, which is supported by the bracket 7; rectilinear guiding means, constituted by a tubular body 8, are associated below said pivot so that they can rotate about the vertical axis A.
  • the body 8 forms the horizontal axis B.
  • the fork 3 is substantially C-shaped: the upper portion 9 of the C-shape is telescopically inserted in the body 8 so as to be parallel thereto and able to slide with a reciprocating rectilinear motion along the horizontal axis B, while the lower portion 10 of the C-shape is suitable to enter the cavity 11 of the coil R.
  • the apparatus 1 further comprises first and second means 12 and 13 for actuating the rotation of the body 8 about the vertical axis A and the translational motion of the fork 3 along the horizontal axis B.
  • the first actuation means 12 comprise a vertical motor shaft 14, which is supported by the bracket 7, with respect to which it protrudes downward, and is connected to the body 8 by way of conventional means for transmitting rotary motion, such as gears, which are constituted by a sprocket 15 and a toothed wheel 16 that are mutually coupled.
  • the sprocket 15 is keyed to the lower end of the motor shaft 14 and the toothed wheel 16 is fixed, so as to be coaxial to the vertical axis A (pivot), to a plate 17 that is in turn monolithically mounted at the top of the body 8.
  • Means for free rotation such as axial and radial bearings of the conventional type, are interposed between the pivot that forms the vertical axis A, the toothed wheel 16 and the body 8, and allow the rotation of the body 8 with minimal friction.
  • the second actuation means 13 comprise a hydraulic cylinder 18, which is arranged substantially coaxially inside the body 8 and acts on the upper portion 9 of the fork 3.
  • a side-fit coupling is provided between the body 8 and the upper portion 9 and their mutual sliding along the axis B is guided by sliding blocks and rails.
  • the apparatus 1 further comprises rectilinear guides 19, which are substantially vertical and are mounted monolithically with respect to the self-propelled means 4; the uprights 5, and therefore the frame 2, are coupled to the guides so that they can slide with a reciprocating rectilinear motion.
  • the rectilinear guides 19 are constituted by the rectilinear guides with which the truck itself is provided and along which a slider 20 can slide; such guides are usually provided with inclination adjustment means 21 of the hydraulic type.
  • the frame 2 is mounted monolithically with respect to the slider 20; for this purpose, to the rear of the uprights 5 there are upper lugs 22, in each of which there is a hole for the passage of a supporting pivot 23 that is anchored to the slider 20.
  • lower plates 24 for coupling and fixing to the slider 20 are also provided.
  • the frame 2 can be raised by means of the forks with which a lift truck is usually provided; for this purpose, the frame 2 is provided to the rear with slots in which the forks are inserted.
  • the apparatus 1 is provided with means for actuating the first and second activation means 12 and 13, which comprise for example electric valves that are connected to buttons or levers that are arranged inside the cab of the self-propelled means 4 and can thus be reached and operated easily by the operator assigned to handling the coil R.
  • the first and second activation means 12 and 13 comprise for example electric valves that are connected to buttons or levers that are arranged inside the cab of the self-propelled means 4 and can thus be reached and operated easily by the operator assigned to handling the coil R.
  • the rotation of the body 8 about the axis A allows to align the lower portion 10 with the cavity 11 of the coil R, while sliding along the axis B of the upper portion 9 allows to insert and extract the lower portion 10 from the cavity 11 respectively to pick up and release the coil R.
  • the described invention achieves the intended aim and objects, i.e. that is provides an apparatus 1 that can be maneuvered easily and allows to handle coils of sheet metal easily and simply.
