Definitions

  • This invention concerns a device forming a multipurpose highly mobile trolley.
  • this invention refers to a device forming a multipurpose trolley equipped with mechanisms designed to move loads, with a structure such that it can be used for the movement of objects within tight spaces such as for example the movement of crates inside storage warehouses, in particular in closed premises.
  • This invention can be mainly applied in the mechanical industry with reference to the construction of machines for the movement of loads in general.
  • a fork-lift truck is equipped with a support frame for a lifting device usually consisting of forks or platforms, sliding on respective guides, which can be moved by a mechanism that can be activated by any appropriate source of motion.
  • the frame presents fixed wheels and/or casters so that the lifting device and its load can be moved easily, while the mechanism that moves the forks comprises a force reducer in order to exert minimal motive action and achieve the lifting of even very heavy loads.
  • the base of the frame is usually fairly wide so as to contain the projection of the centre of gravity of the load being carried in order to prevent the risk of the load overturning and to distribute the weight uniformly, making the lifting device well balanced.
  • a lifting device is not designed according to the configuration of the warehouse and in particular of the rows of shelving in between which it has to operate, meaning that it has to perform numerous manuevers which also require an expert operator.
  • Document EP-A-986997 describes a trolley movable on wheels having a platform mounted on the supporting frame the trolley and which can selectively be raised or lowered along a vertical direction.
  • Said platform is constituted by two superimposed plates.
  • the upper plate can be displaced longitudinally so as to increase the length of the platform and to allow the movement of a wheelchair placed on the platform.
  • the load wheelchair
  • the device cannot be displaced by the device itself, i.e. the device has no means for automatically displacing the load in a longitudinal direction.
  • the platform of the trolley may be displaced transversally only for the purpose of aligning the platform 12 to the access site of the wheelchair and does not comprise any displacing means capable of transferring a load from the platform to, e.g. a rack placed aside of the platform or vice versa.
  • Document DE-A-10154415 also describes a trolley movable on wheels having a platform mounted on the supporting frame the trolley and which can selectively be raised or lowered along a vertical direction.
  • the trolley according to DE-A-10154415 has an intermediate platform carrying a ball articulation upon which a structure including two separate adjacent platforms is placed.
  • the movement of the structure takes place through the action of two separate hydraulic cylinders which allow the structure to be moved about the pivot constituted by the ball joint.
  • a transversal horizontal movement is not possibly.
  • the present invention aims to provide a multipurpose highly mobile trolley which is able to eliminate or significantly resolve the disadvantages described above.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a trolley that can be used in any storage area fitted with parallel rows of shelving and with the shelves at different heights from the ground.
  • the multipurpose highly mobile trolley comprises a flat-bed, equipped with a driving position and appropriate means of translation, a first raising-lowering device presenting a platform equipped with two devices for movement in directions substantially at right angles to the direction of vertical movement of the platform.
  • the movement devices consist of a second device for movement in a longitudinal direction with respect to the platform and a third device for movement in a transverse direction again with respect to the platform.
  • the second movement device advantageously consists of power-driven belts designed to accept the load and to move it in the required direction.
  • the third movement device advantageously consists of power-driven bars which slide to the right or the left in specific guides integral with the platform.
  • the first raising-lowering device consists of a reticular frame comprising connecting rods activated by linear actuators connected to a oil-hydraulic circuit integral with the flat-bed.
  • the trolley is advantageously self-propelled, being equipped with a system for the temporary clamping of the wheels which can be activated during loading, raising, unloading and lowering to ensure evident conditions of safety thanks to the stability achieved.
  • the temporary clamping system comprises stabilisers consisting of linear actuators controlled by specific solenoid valves connected to the oil-hydraulic circuit on the flat-bed.
  • the trolley is equipped with a source of electrical energy, consisting of a battery, designed to move the trolley and to activate the raising-lowering, loading and unloading devices.
  • a source of electrical energy consisting of a battery
  • the wheels of the flat-bed can be casters, with electrohydraulic activation in order to allow not only maneuvering simplicity and negligible physical effort but also the possibility of causing the lifting device to move in a transverse direction with respect to the normal direction of travel.
  • the trolley can easily be moved and positioned close to the object to be lifted: positioning this object near a longitudinal edge of the platform, the power-driven belts pull the load to a central position on the platform, above the sliding bars.
  • the trolley then moves to the position in which the load must be deposited; at this point the temporary clamping system is activated and the platform is raised to the height of the shelf on which the object being transported must be placed.
  • the unloading device then intervenes; by means of the sliding bars, it moves the load transversally to the right or the left over the shelf and deposits the load on it.
  • the multipurpose trolley is ready to transport the next load.
  • the reference number 10 indicates in general a device forming a highly mobile trolley designed to move an object or load 11 within the setting of the location of this load in appropriate storage premises.
  • the trolley 10 comprises a flat-bed 12 equipped with a driving position 12a and designed to support a first raising-lowering device 13.
  • the flat-bed 12 is fitted with wheels 14 advantageously revolving and mobile, guided by the operator, by means of an electrohydraulic drive 15.
  • the flat-bed 12 comprises a base on which the first raising-lowering device 13 is hinged, together with an upright plate 16 designed to support the driving position 12a and an electrohydraulic pump 17, receiving energy from appropriate storage batteries (not shown in the drawings), as sources of energy for the entire lifting device 10.
  • the flat-bed 12 consists of metal sections which can be reinforced by ribbing in the parts most subject to mechanical stress.
  • the first raising-lowering device 13 comprises a reticular frame consisting of connecting rods 18 hinged to each other and kinematically connected to linear actuators 19.
  • actuators can be hydraulically controlled and connected to a circuit positioned on the flat-bed 12.
  • the connecting rods 18 are designed to support a platform 20 on which the load 11 is positioned.
  • the platform 20 comprises a second movement device 21 and a third movement device 22.
  • the second movement device 21 consists of a power-driven unit 23, positioned close to a longitudinal edge of the platform 20, comprising an electric motor 24 with a shaft 25 which supports driving pulleys 26 designed to drive belts 27 exposed on the surface of the platform 20.
  • the belts 27 extend longitudinally along a good part of the length of the platform 20 and are supported by idle disks 28 uniformly positioned on the surface of the platform 20.
  • the third movement device 22 comprises an electric motor 29 and a reduction gear 30 with a shaft 31 which, by means of any appropriate mechanism, for example a toothed wheel and rack pair, is designed to move cross-bars 32 which slide inside the respective guides 33 in which they are housed.
  • the third movement device 22 is equipped with mechanisms designed to move it to a concealed position below the surface of the platform 20.
  • the electric motor 29 ensures rotation of the shaft 31 in both directions to allow the bars 32 to protrude from either side of the platform 20.
  • the multipurpose trolley 10 can comprise a temporary clamping system (not shown in the drawings) which can consist of vertical-axis linear actuator stabilisers with rods which, when extended, come into contact with the ground and increase the stability of the trolley.
  • a temporary clamping system (not shown in the drawings) which can consist of vertical-axis linear actuator stabilisers with rods which, when extended, come into contact with the ground and increase the stability of the trolley.
  • the trolley 10 presents the first raising-lowering device 13 in the rest position, with the reticular structure consisting of connecting rods 18 folded over the flat-bed 12.
  • the surface of the platform 20 presents the belts 27 of the second movement device 21 projecting for the infeed of the load 11 in the direction indicated by the arrow A in figure 1 from a loading position to a central position in which the load 11 is actively supported on the platform 20, while the bars 32 of the third movement device 22 are in the withdrawn position.
  • the trolley 10 is moved, for example to a predetermined position for the off-loading of the object 11.
  • the first raising-lowering device 13 is activated. Thanks to the exit of the rods of the linear actuators 19, the connecting rods 18 are spread apart, leading to the raising of the platform 20.
  • the third unloading device 22 is raised above the surface of the platform 20 so that the bars 32 raise the object 11 ready for off-loading from the trolley 10.
  • third movement device 22 is activated and, by the sliding of the bars 32 in the guides 33, deposits the load 11 on one of the shelves 35.
