Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Palette mit einer Tragplatte für zu transportierendes bzw. lagerndes Gut gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a pallet with a support plate for goods to be transported or stored according to the preamble of claim 1.

Nächstkommender Stand der Technik ist eine sogenannte Hochregallager-Palette, welche aus einem Oberteil und einem Unterteil zusammengeschweißt ist (DE-A-43 36 469). Hierbei weisen das Oberteil und das Unterteil entsprechende Verrippungen auf, welche mit Aussparungen versehen sind. In diese Aussparungen werden Verstärkungselemente eingeklemmt, bevor das Oberteil und das Unterteil zusammengeschweißt werden. Damit liegt nach dem Schweißvorgang eine in sich geschlossene Einheit vor, so dass nicht mehr die Möglichkeit besteht, im Bedarfsfall Verstärkungselemente zu entnehmen bzw. zusätzlich einzubringen.The closest prior art is a so-called high-shelf warehouse pallet, which is welded together from an upper part and a lower part (DE-A-43 36 469). Here, the upper part and the lower part corresponding ribs, which are provided with recesses. In these recesses reinforcing elements are clamped before the upper part and the lower part are welded together. This is after the welding process in a self-contained unit, so that no longer has the possibility to remove reinforcing elements in case of need or additionally introduce.

Weiterer Stand der Technik ist eine Palette mit Trägerplatte und Kufen (EP-A-0 539 698). Diese Palette weist Standbeine auf, welche austauschbar auf der Unterseite der Palette gehalten sind. Eine Verstärkung ist bei dieser bekannten Palette nicht vorgesehen. Bei dieser bekannten Palette sind jedoch einige der Standbeine mit einem Verbindungssteg im Bereich ihrer Standfläche verbunden, so dass eine Art Kufe entsteht, wodurch die Standfestigkeit der Palette erhöht wird. Zwischen den einzelnen Standbeinen sind Zwischenräume zum Einführen von Gabeln von Gabelstaplerfahrzeugen vorgesehen.Further prior art is a pallet with carrier plate and skids (EP-A-0 539 698). This pallet has legs, which are held interchangeably on the underside of the pallet. A gain is not provided in this known range. In this known range, however, some of the legs are connected to a connecting web in the area of their footprint, so that a kind of runner is created, whereby the stability of the pallet increases becomes. Between the individual legs intermediate spaces are provided for introducing forks of forklift vehicles.

Ausgehend von dem eingangs genannten Stand der Technik, besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, eine Palette zu schaffen, welche besser an die jeweiligen Erfordernisse anzupassen ist, das heißt, je nach Bedarf mit weniger oder mehr Verstärkungen auszustatten ist.Based on the above-mentioned prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a pallet, which is better adapted to the respective requirements, that is to equip as needed with less or more reinforcements.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Hierdurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass es bei Bedarf möglich ist, zusätzliche Verstärkungselemente einzubringen oder Verstärkungselemente wegzulassen, falls die erforderliche Tragkraft geringer sein kann. Es ist somit ein modularer Aufbau von Paletten möglich.This object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1. This results in the advantage that it is possible, if necessary, to introduce additional reinforcing elements or to omit reinforcing elements, if the required load capacity can be lower. It is thus possible a modular construction of pallets.

Die Sicherung des Verstärkungselements wird dadurch erzielt, dass das Verstärkungselement zwischen Tragplatte und Standbein angeordnet ist und durch die Verbindung der Standbeine mit der Tragplatte eingeklemmt wird.The securing of the reinforcing element is achieved in that the reinforcing element between the support plate and leg is arranged and is clamped by the connection of the legs with the support plate.

Besonders vorteilhaft und kostengünstig ist es, wenn die Palette aus Recycling-Kunststoff hergestellt ist. Es wird damit eine äußerst tragfähige, umweltschonende Palette geschaffen, welche kostengünstig, hinsichtlich ihrer Tragkraft variabel und bei Beschädigung durch Austausch der einzelnen beschädigten Teile kostensparend instand gehalten werden kann.It is particularly advantageous and cost-effective if the pallet is made of recycled plastic. It is thus an extremely viable, environmentally friendly range created that cost, variable in terms of their capacity and in damage by replacing the individual damaged parts can be maintained cost-saving maintenance.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind an der Unterseite der Tragplatte und an dem der Tragplatte zugewandten Ende der Standbeine Aufnahmevorsprünge für die Standbeine und die Tragplatte angeordnet. Durch diese Gestaltung ergibt sich eine austauschbare Verbindung der Standbeine mit der Tragplatte, beispielsweise durch Verklipsen. Die Klipse ermöglichen hierbei eine schnelle Montage der Standbeine an der Tragplatte ebenso wie eine schnelle Montage bei Beschädigung.In a further embodiment of the invention receiving protrusions for the legs and the support plate are arranged on the underside of the support plate and on which the support plate facing the end of the legs. This design results in an exchangeable connection of the legs with the support plate, for example, by clipping. The clips allow for a quick mounting of the legs on the support plate as well as a quick installation in case of damage.

Weist die Tragplatte an ihrer Unterseite Verrippungen auf, so wird eine gewisse Grundfestigkeit der Tragplatte und damit der Palette geschaffen, so dass die Verstärkungselemente weniger stabil ausgebildet sein müssen oder für eine leichtere Ausführung der Palette auch ganz weggelassen werden können.Does the support plate on its underside ribbing, so a certain basic strength of the support plate and thus the pallet is created so that the reinforcing elements must be made less stable or for a lighter version of the range can be completely omitted.

Als einfaches aber doch zuverlässiges Verstärkungselement hat sich ein Stahlrohr erwiesen. Dieses Stahlrohr wird erfindungsgemäß in eine Aussparung der Verrippung der Tragplatte eingelegt.As a simple but reliable reinforcing element, a steel tube has proven. This steel tube is inserted according to the invention in a recess of the ribbing of the support plate.

Für eine besonders hohe Tragkraft der Palette ist vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen, dass wenigstens ein Verstärkungselement in Längs- und/oder Querrichtung der Tragplatte verläuft. Das Verstärkungselement kann dabei gegebenenfalls entlang der Kufen oder auch quer zu den Kufen oder kreuz- und/oder rahmenförmig die Tragplatte unterstützen.For a particularly high load capacity of the pallet is advantageously provided that extends at least one reinforcing element in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the support plate. The reinforcing element may optionally support the support plate along the runners or transversely to the runners or cross and / or frame-shaped.

In Figur 1 ist eine Darstellung der Unterseite einer Tragplatte 1 skizziert. Die Unterseite der Tragplatte 1 weist eine Vielzahl von Rippen 2 auf, welche der Verstärkung der Tragplatte 1 dienen. Mittels der Rippen 2 ist eine gewisse Grundlast durch die Tragplatte 1 aufnehmbar, ohne daß sich die Tragplatte 1 unzulässig durchbiegt. In drei Bereichen der Tragplatte 1 sind Aussparungen 3 vorgesehen. Die Aussparungen 3, welche nicht verrippt sind, ermöglichen die Aufnahme von Verstärkungselementen, wie es später beschrieben wird. Die Aussparungen 3 verlaufen längs der Tragplatte 1, wodurch nach Einfuhrung der Verstärkungselemente eine deutliche Erhöhung der Tragkraft der Tragplatte 1 ermöglicht wird.In FIG. 1, a representation of the underside of a support plate 1 is sketched. The underside of the support plate 1 has a plurality of ribs 2, which serve to reinforce the support plate 1. By means of the ribs 2 is a certain base load by the support plate 1 can be accommodated without the support plate 1 bends inadmissible. In three areas of the support plate 1 recesses 3 are provided. The recesses 3, which are not ribbed, allow the inclusion of reinforcing elements, as will be described later. The recesses 3 extend along the support plate 1, whereby a significant increase in the carrying capacity of the support plate 1 is made possible after introduction of the reinforcing elements.

In den Endbereichen der Aussparungen 3 sowie in den mittleren Bereichen der Aussparungen 3 sind insgesamt neun Aufnahmevorsprünge 4 angeordnet. Die Aufnahmevorsprünge 4 dienen der Aufnahme von Standbeinen 7. Gleichzeitig mit der Aufnahme der Standbeine 7 werden in die Aussparungen 3 zuvor eingelegte Verstärkungselemente 20 in der Aussparung 3 fixiert. Der Abstand der Aufnahmevorsprünge 4 voneinander ist derart gewählt, daß die Tragplatte 1 von einem Gabelstapler mit dessen Gabeln ergriffen werden kann und beispielsweise in ein Hochregallager bewegt werden kann.In the end regions of the recesses 3 and in the central regions of the recesses 3 a total of nine receiving projections 4 are arranged. The receiving protrusions 4 are used to hold legs 7. Simultaneously with the recording of the legs 7 previously inserted reinforcing elements 20 are fixed in the recess 3 in the recesses 3. The distance between the receiving projections 4 from each other is chosen such that the support plate 1 can be taken by a forklift with its forks and can be moved, for example, in a high-bay warehouse.

In Figur 2 ist eine Draufsicht auf die Tragplatte 1 dargestellt Die Oberseite der Tragplatte 1 weist in der dargestellten vorteilhaften Ausführung keine Öffnungen auf. Hierdurch wird das Ansammeln von Regenwasser bei der Lagerung der Palette 10 im Außenbereich weitgehend vermieden. Die Palette 10 ist daher sehr vielseitig und vorteilhaft einsetzbar. Am äußeren Umfang der Tragplatte 1 sind Abrutschkanten 5 angeordnet. Die Abrutschkanten 5 bewirken, daß Transportgüter, welche auf der Tragplatte 1 gelagert sind, stabil gehalten werden. Darüber hinaus sind durch ein Zusammenwirken mit den Standbeinen 7 bzw. Kufen 8 der Standbeine 7 auch das Übereinanderstapeln leerer Paletten 10 durch die Abrutschkanten 5 dahingehend ermöglicht, daß eine stabile Stapelung der Paletten 10 möglich ist. Die Abrutschkanten 5 vermeiden, daß die auf der Palette 10 gelagerten Güter durch Erschütterungen beim Transport abrutschen. Unterstützt wird die stabile Lagerung der Transportgüter durch eine aufgerauhte Oberfläche der Tragplatte 1. Auch hierdurch ist das Verrutschen der Transportgüter erschwert und somit eine sichere Stapelung ermöglicht.2 shows a plan view of the support plate 1 is shown. The top of the support plate 1 has no openings in the illustrated advantageous embodiment. As a result, the accumulation of rainwater during storage of the pallet 10 in the outdoor area is largely avoided. The pallet 10 is therefore very versatile and can be used advantageously. On the outer circumference of the support plate 1 Abrutschkanten 5 are arranged. The slip-off edges 5 cause that transport goods, which are mounted on the support plate 1, are kept stable. In addition, by interacting with the legs 7 and runners 8 of the legs 7 and the stacking of empty pallets 10 by the slip-off edges 5 allows to the effect that a stable stacking of the pallets 10 is possible. The slip-off edges 5 avoid that the goods stored on the pallet 10 slip off due to vibrations during transport. The stable storage of the transported goods is supported by a roughened surface of the support plate 1. This also makes the shifting of the transported goods difficult and thus enables a secure stacking.

Entlang der Mittellinien der Tragplatte 1 sind Stapelhilfen 6 angeordnet Mit tels der Stapelhilfen 6 ist es möglich, auf der Tragplatte 1 beispielsweise kleinerformatige Kisten zu stapeln. Auch diese sind stabil auf der Tragplatte 1 anzuordnen, ohne daß zu befürchten ist, daß durch die Erschütterungen während des Transports ein Verrutschen und Umstürzen der Kisten erfolgen könnte.Along the center lines of the support plate 1 stacking aids 6 are arranged with means of stacking aids 6, it is possible to stack on the support plate 1, for example, smaller sized boxes. These are to be stably arranged on the support plate 1, without any fear that could be done by the vibrations during transport slipping and overturning of the boxes.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Seitenansicht der Längsseite der Palette 10. An der Unterseite der Tragplatte 1 sind Standbeine 7 angeordnet Die Standbeine 7 sind an ihrem der Tragplatte 1 abgewandten Ende mit einer Kufe 8 verbunden. Die Tragplatte 1 mit den Standbeinen 7 und der Kufe 8 ergibt ein bereits ohne Verstärkungselemente in sich stabiles Gebilde, welches leichtere Lasten ohne Verwindungsgefahr aufnehmen kann.Figure 3 shows a side view of the longitudinal side of the pallet 10. On the underside of the support plate 1 legs 7 are arranged The legs 7 are connected at its end facing away from the support plate 1 with a runner 8. The support plate 1 with the legs 7 and the skid 8 results in an already without reinforcing elements in itself stable structure, which can accommodate lighter loads without twisting.

An der Oberseite der Tragplatte 1 sind wiederum die Abrutschkanten 5 sowie die Stapelhilfen 6 dargestellt, welche über die eigentliche Tragfläche der Tragplatte 1 hinausragen und somit das sichere Stapeln von Transportgütern oder leeren Paletten ermöglichen. Die Kufen 8 weisen hierzu Aussparungen auf, welche in den darüberliegenden Abrutschkanten 5 eingreifen und somit wiederum eine stabile Lage bewirken.At the top of the support plate 1, in turn, the slip-off edges 5 and the stacking aids 6 are shown, which protrude beyond the actual support surface of the support plate 1 and thus allow secure stacking of goods or empty pallets. The runners 8 have for this purpose recesses which engage in the overlying Abrutschkanten 5 and thus in turn cause a stable position.

In Figur 4 ist eine Seitenansicht der Schmalseite der Palette 10 dargestellt. Die einzelnen Standbeine 7 sind in dieser Richtung nicht mittels Kufen 8 verbunden. Die Kufen 8 verlaufen vielmehr senkrecht zur Zeichenebene. Um eine Stabilität der Palette 10 auch in der Schmalseite der Palette 10 zu erreichen, ist vorgesehen, daß die Rippen 2 zwischen den Standbeinen 7 höher ausgebildet sind. Durch die höheren Rippen 2 wird auch eine Festigkeit der Palette 10 in ihrer schmalen Breite erzielt. Zwischen den Standbeinen 7 der Figur 3 ist die Verrippung 2 weniger hoch gewählt, um genügend Raum für das Einführen der Gabeln der Transportfahrzeuge zu haben.FIG. 4 shows a side view of the narrow side of the pallet 10. The individual legs 7 are not connected in this direction by means of skids 8. The runners 8 rather run perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. In order to achieve a stability of the pallet 10 in the narrow side of the pallet 10, it is provided that the ribs 2 are formed higher between the legs 7. Due to the higher ribs 2, a strength of the pallet 10 is achieved in its narrow width. Between the legs 7 of Figure 3, the ribbing 2 is chosen less high to have enough space for the insertion of the forks of the transport vehicles.

In Figur 5 ist eine Draufsicht auf drei Standbeine 7, welche mit einer Kufe 8 verbunden sind, dargestellt. An der Kufe 8 sind zwischen den Standbeinen 7 Aussparungen 9 vorgesehen, welche mit den Abrutschkanten 5 einer anderen Palette 10 zusammenwirken können. Die Standbeine 7 sind im wesentlichen hohl ausgebildet. Zur Befestigung von Verstärkungselementen 20 sowie zur Erhöhung der Stabilität der Standbeine 7 sind innerhalb der Standbeine 7 Rippen 12 vorgesehen. Die Rippen 12 klemmen, wie später noch näher beschrieben wird, Verstärkungselemente 20 zwischen den Standbeinen 7 und der Tragplatte 1 ein.In Figure 5 is a plan view of three legs 7, which are connected to a runner 8, shown. On the runner 8 7 recesses 9 are provided between the legs, which can cooperate with the slip-off edges 5 of another pallet 10. The legs 7 are formed substantially hollow. For attachment of reinforcing elements 20 and to increase the stability of the legs 7 ribs 12 are provided within the legs 7. The ribs 12 clamp, as will be described in more detail later, reinforcing elements 20 between the legs 7 and the support plate 1 a.

Figur 6 zeigt den Zusammenbau von Tragplatte 1 und Standbeinen 7. Eines der Standbeine 7 ist in geschnittener Darstellung gezeigt. Es wird hieraus ersichtlich, daß der Hohlraum des Standbeines 7 mehrere Rippen 12 aufweist, welche das Standbein 7 in Längs- und Querrichtung versteifen. Im oberen Bereich des Standbeines 7 sind Klippse 15 vorgesehen. Diese Klippse 15 wirken mit weiteren Klippsen oder Vorsprünge oder Öffnungen 16 der Tragplatte 1 in deren Aufnahmevorsprüngen 4 zusammen. Um eine stabile Verbindung der Tragplatte 1 mit dem Standbein 7 zu erhalten, weist die obere Kante des Standbeines 7 Aussparungen 13 auf, welche in die Verrippung der Tragplatte 1 eingreifen. Hierdurch ist eine Verschiebe- und Verdrehsicherung der Standbeine 7 an der Tragplatte 1 geschaffen, wodurch eine zusätzliche Stabilität erreicht wird und ein versehentliches Lösen der Verbindung mittels der Klippse 15, 16 vermieden wird.Figure 6 shows the assembly of the support plate 1 and legs 7. One of the legs 7 is shown in a sectional view. It is apparent from this that the cavity of the pillar 7 has a plurality of ribs 12 which stiffen the leg 7 in the longitudinal and transverse directions. In the upper part of the pillar 7 Klippse 15 are provided. This clip 15 cooperate with other Klippsen or projections or openings 16 of the support plate 1 in the receiving projections 4. In order to obtain a stable connection of the support plate 1 with the pillar 7, the upper edge of the pillar 7 has recesses 13, which engage in the ribbing of the support plate 1. In this way, a displacement and rotation of the legs 7 is provided on the support plate 1, whereby additional stability is achieved and accidental release of the connection by means of the clip 15, 16 is avoided.

Zwischen der Tragplatte 1 und den Standbeinen 7 wird ein Verstärkungselement 20 eingeführt. Das Verstärkungselement 20 wird während der Verbindung der Tragplatte 1 mit den Standbeinen 7 zwischen der Tragplatte 1 und den Standbeinen 7 eingeklemmt. Es wird hiermit eine Verbindung des Verstärkungselements 20 mit der Palette 10 geschaffen, welche vermeidet, daß sich das Verstärkungselement 20 versehentlich löst. Darüber hinaus ist eine besonders einfache Gestaltung der Tragplatte 1 ebenso wie der Standbeine 7 ermöglicht, ohne daß beispielsweise Schieber für die Spritzgußform der Tragplatte 1 erforderlich sind. Die Herstellung der Palette 10 ist hierdurch relativ kostengünstig und variabel hinsichtlich der aufzunehmenden Traglast möglich. Das Verstärkungselement 20 ist vorteilhafterweise ein Stahlrohr. Es sind aber auch andere Verstärkungselemente, beispielsweise Kohlefaserstangen oder ähnliches möglich.Between the support plate 1 and the legs 7, a reinforcing element 20 is inserted. The reinforcing element 20 is clamped during the connection of the support plate 1 with the legs 7 between the support plate 1 and the legs 7. It is hereby created a connection of the reinforcing member 20 with the pallet 10, which avoids that the reinforcing member 20 accidentally releases. In addition, a particularly simple design of the support plate 1 as well as the legs 7 allows without, for example, slide for the injection mold of the support plate 1 are required. The production of the pallet 10 is thereby possible relatively inexpensively and variably with regard to the load to be absorbed. The reinforcing element 20 is advantageously a steel tube. But there are also other reinforcing elements, such as carbon fiber rods or the like possible.

Figur 7 zeigt einen Schnitt durch eine zusammengebaute Palette 10 im Bereich eines Standbeines 7. An dem Standbein 7 ist die Kufe 8 angeordnet, welche Rippen 19 zur Vergrößerung der Stabilität aufweist. Die Rippen 19 sind nach unten angeordnet, so daß keine Möglichkeit besteht, daß sich Regenwasser in den durch die Rippen entstehenden Aussparungen entstehenden Hohlräumen ansammeln kann. Das Standbein 7 ist ebenfalls mit Rippen 12 versehen. Die Rippen 12 wirken mit der Aussparung 3 der Tragplatte 1 derart zusammen, daß durch das Verbinden des Standbeines 7 mit der Tragplatte 1 ein Hohlraum im Bereich der Aussparung 3 entsteht, in welchem das Verstärkungselement 20 aufgenommen wird. Das Verstärkungselement 20 wird in diesem entstehenden Hohlraum in der Aussparung 3 festgeklemmt, so daß eine kraft- und formschlüssige Verbindung des Verstärkungselements 20 mit der Palette 10 entsteht Hierdurch ist eine optimale Krafteinleitung aus der Tragplatte 1 in die Standbeine 7 möglich.FIG. 7 shows a section through an assembled pallet 10 in the region of a supporting leg 7. On the supporting leg 7, the runner 8 is arranged, which has ribs 19 for increasing the stability. The ribs 19 are arranged downwardly, so that there is no possibility that rainwater can accumulate in the resulting by the ribs recesses resulting cavities. The leg 7 is also provided with ribs 12. The ribs 12 cooperate with the recess 3 of the support plate 1 in such a way that by connecting the support leg 7 with the support plate 1, a cavity in the region of the recess 3 is formed, in which the reinforcing element 20 is received. The reinforcing element 20 is clamped in this resulting cavity in the recess 3, so that a non-positive and positive connection of the reinforcing member 20 with the pallet 10 is formed This is an optimal introduction of force from the support plate 1 in the legs 7 possible.

In Figur 8 ist eine weitere Schnittdarstellung durch ein Standbein 7 und eine Tragplatte 1 der Palette 10 dargestellt. Aus dieser Darstellung ist ersichtlich, wie das Verstärkungselement 20 in der Aussparung 3 befestigt wird. Die Rippe 12 des Standbeines 7 drückt das Verstärkungselement 20 in die Aussparung 3, so daß eine feste Verbindung zwischen dem Verstärkungselement 20 und der Tragplatte 1 entsteht. Die Aussparung 3 ist so bemessen, daß in ihr das Verstärkungselement 20 kraftschlüssig aufgenommen werden kann.FIG. 8 shows a further sectional view through a pillar 7 and a support plate 1 of the pallet 10. From this representation it can be seen how the reinforcing element 20 is secured in the recess 3. The rib 12 of the supporting leg 7 presses the reinforcing element 20 into the recess 3, so that a firm connection between the reinforcing element 20 and the support plate 1 is formed. The recess 3 is dimensioned so that in it the reinforcing element 20 can be positively received.

Die Verbindung des Standbeines 7 mit der Tragplatte 1 geschieht über den Aufnahmevorsprung 4. An dem Aufnahmevorsprung 4 sind Aussparungen vorgesehen, welche zusammen mit den Vorsprüngen des Standbeines 7 als Klippse 15, 16 wirken. Indem das Teil des Klipps 15 in die Öffnung des Klipps 16 einrastet, entsteht eine feste Verbindung zwischen dem Standbein 7 und der Tragplatte 1, wobei gleichzeitig das Verstärkungselement 20 in der Aussparung 3 geklemmt wird.The connection of the supporting leg 7 with the support plate 1 via the receiving projection 4. At the receiving projection 4 recesses are provided, which act together with the projections of the pillar 7 as Klippse 15, 16. By the part of the clip 15 engages in the opening of the clip 16, a firm connection between the pillar 7 and the support plate 1, wherein at the same time the reinforcing element 20 is clamped in the recess 3.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellten Ausfuhrungsbeispiele beschränkt So können beispielsweise auch Aussparungen in den Standbeinen zur Aufnahme der Verstärkungselemente vorgesehen sein. Die Verstärkungselemente können kreuz oder rahmenförmig ausgebildet sein oder auch quer zu den Kufen verlaufen. Zur Sicherung der Standbeine an der Tragplatte können zusätzliche Sicherungsmittel, wie beispielsweise Splinte oder Schrauben vorgesehen sein.The present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments illustrated. For example, recesses may also be provided in the legs for receiving the reinforcing elements. The reinforcing elements may be cross-shaped or frame-shaped or extend transversely to the runners. To secure the legs on the support plate additional securing means, such as pins or screws may be provided.
