Definitions

  • the invention relates to containers with pneumatically driven locking mechanism and in particular containers. she is but in the same way to all containers, no matter what size and Shaping, applicable, on the outer walls hollow body for receiving are provided by locking devices. following the invention is explained in more detail using the example of a container become.
  • locking devices can be introduced by container spreaders or over harnesses, these locking devices having end areas (twistlocks) whose dimensions are smaller than the oval openings in the hollow bodies.
  • twistlocks are introduced into the hollow bodies, they are mechanically twisted, so that the container is locked with the container spreader or the overhead harness and can be transported.
  • Lifting is the top of the twistlock on the underside of the top wall of the hollow body to the plant.
  • the corners of the container have pneumatically driven, rotatable and slidable locking mechanisms. If two containers (containers) to be stacked on top of each other or one another, the one container is placed on the other container, that the lower hollow body of the upper container are aligned with the upper hollow bodies of the lower container. Since the locking mechanisms are displaceable in the corners of the upper container, they can be pushed down by the pneumatic drive and engage in the upper hollow body of the lower container. In this state, a rotation of the locking mechanisms take place, so that the containers are locked together and can be lifted and transported at the same time if necessary.
  • the container has a frame construction in which at least one frame part is seated at least one watertight sealable opening be.
  • This opening serves to ensure that in the hollow body formed as a corner mounted locking mechanism, which is designed according to another preferred embodiment as a module, taken out of the corner and can be used again. In this way, defective parts can be replaced immediately and long service lives are avoided.
  • the container is always kept ready for use. Signals transmitted by a sensor in contact with sensors should indicate to the operator the position of the locking mechanism.
  • the hollow bodies are detachably connected to the frame parts adjacent to them, openings in the frame parts can be used to connect the frame parts to the adjacent hollow bodies from the inside.
  • the container has means which can absorb and transmit electrical energy. In this way, the supply of the container is ensured with power.
  • a control unit which is provided according to a further advantageous embodiment.
  • This control unit controls the supply of compressed air in the locking mechanism and the forwarding of compressed air to a discharge point in the region of the lower hollow body for receiving locking devices of the container corner, via which compressed air can be forwarded to the next container. Further, the control unit receives the signals transmitted to it from the signal transmitter, which is in contact with sensors.
  • the pneumatically driven locking mechanism consists of a cylinder, in the wall of which there is an elongated recess which has approximately the appearance of a V rotated by 90 °. In this recess engages a bolt which is fixed to the locking bar. With this link mechanism, a rotation of the locking mechanism and thus a locking of the container is made possible with each other. It is also advantageous if the cylinder has at its lower end a latching nose which can engage in latching grooves which are located on the latching rod. In this way, the cylinder can control the up and down movement of the locking bar partially.
  • a container (1) is shown in partial view. He has corners (2), at the upper end of a locking housing (3) - hereinafter called casting - and at the lower end of a casting (4) are located.
  • the container corners (2) are hollow inside and have in their lower part a closure (5).
  • This closure is shown for purposes of illustration in Figures 1 and 2 lying on the outside of the container corner. Conveniently, however, the closure is located on the inside of the container and is guided over the corner, so that there is a good accessibility in the interior of the container corner. This positioning protects the interior of the container corner from dirt and water.
  • the closure is bolted via a waterproof seal not shown here with the container corner.
  • FIG. 1 shows a container corner (2), in which the closure (5) has been removed. Visible are a compressed air supply line (12) and a line (13) in which a power cable and a connection cable are located, and a control unit (11) and a cylindrical housing (20), which partially in a housing (19) sits.
  • FIG. 3 shows the technical equipment of a container corner.
  • the control unit (11) is connected to a compressed air supply line (12) and to a line (13).
  • the control unit (11) is a 4/3 way valve, which regulates the forwarding of the compressed air in the lines (14,16,17).
  • the control unit (11) has an electronic control, via which the power supply in a cable, which is guided in the line (15) is controlled, and which receives information from the signal generator (32) via the connection cable (18) and forwards.
  • the line (15) is still a cable, via which information in the control unit (11 ') of an underlying, locked with the container further container forwarded and information control unit (11') are brought into the control unit (11).
  • a cylindrical housing (20) is located in the interior of the container corner and sits with its lower end in register in a housing (19) which is firmly connected to the casting (4).
  • a beveled cylinder (22) is arranged, which is axially displaceable, but not rotatable and is guided by the inner wall of the housing (20).
  • the cylinder (22) has a sliding gear (23) through which a bolt (29) protrudes.
  • the bolt (29) is fixedly connected to a locking rod (24).
  • the locking rod (24) has locking grooves (28) into which a latching lug (21) of the cylinder (22) can engage.
  • sensors (30,31) which can be detected by a signal generator (32).
  • the signals are forwarded via the connecting cable (18) to the control unit (11).
  • the control unit (11) In the lower area of the locking bar (24) there is a support (25) with guide lugs (26).
  • Figures 4a to 4d show the operation of the invention. If the casting (4) of the upper container rests on the casting (3 ') of a container located underneath, a signal pin, not shown, is pressed into the interior of the casting (4) and transmits a signal via a connecting cable in the line (15). to the control unit (11). From there, the signal is transmitted via a connecting cable in the line (13) to the container spreader and from there into the driver's cab of the crane operator. The crane operator now knows that the two containers are on top of each other and can begin the locking process. Via a compressor on the container spreader compressed air in lines in the support arms (10) of the container spreader in the line (12) and from there into the control unit (11) forwarded.
  • the 4/3-way valve releases the way in the lines (14) and (16), while the line (17) is open to the atmosphere.
  • the compressed air can reach only up to a valve on the casting (4), but not yet introduced into the line (12 ') of the underlying container.
  • the line (16) is pressurized with compressed air and pushes the cylinder (22) down.
  • the locking rod (24), in the upper detent groove (28) engages the latching lug (21) of the cylinder (22) is prevented from axial downward movement, characterized in that the guide nose (26) of the support (25) of a securing part (35 ) and the locking element (27) is positioned transversely to the upper longitudinal opening of the casting (4).
  • the bolt (29) moves from the middle position in the transmission gate (23) in the upper position and causes a further rotation of the locking rod (24) by 90 degrees, which on the one hand, the locking element (27) in the casting (3 ') of the the lower container is locked and on the other hand, the guide nose (26) under the securing part (36) is guided and thus secured.
  • the locking lug (21) engages now in the lower locking groove (28). If the locking bar (24) is in the position according to FIG. 4a, there is (see FIG. 3) a contact between the sensor (31) and the signal transmitter (32), so that the crane operator knows that the locking element (27) is in the position shown in FIG secured rest position. If the locking rod (24) rotated by 90 degrees ( Figure 4b), so this contact is interrupted.
  • FIG. 5 shows the technical configuration between the upper one Casting (3) and the lower casting (4) of a container corner according to the above description.
