Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling piece for connecting two stacked containers, in particular on board ships, at their Eckbehaven, with a stop plate and a coupling projection on both sides of the stop plate, of which the first coupling projection is attachable to the corner fitting of a container and the another coupling projection is formed with a seen in the longitudinal direction of the container laterally arranged on the other coupling projection locking lug for locking in a corner fitting of the other container. Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement of stacked containers and method for connecting stacked containers with such dome pieces.
  • Such a coupling piece is from the DE 33 30 067 A1 known.
  • a coupling piece namely a so-called midlock, known, which serves for lashing containers as deck cargo on board ships, namely for connecting two stacked containers.
  • the Midlock is used whenever two 20ft containers are placed in a 40ft container slot, on the container corner fittings on the facing ends of the 20ft container, one behind the other. Between the consecutive 20-foot containers results namely only a very narrow gap of about 76 mm, so that the arranged on these sides corner fittings and therefore also the Midlock are poorly accessible to the congestion staff. At the other, free end faces, the corner fittings are freely accessible.
  • so-called twistlocks are generally used, which are opened manually when unloading (deleting) the container from the jam staff. The container is then lifted, the midlocks by skewing the container from the corner fittings of the lower container slide.
  • the midlocks When loading the container, the midlocks are first hung in the lower corner fitting of the upper container floating containers on land.
  • hook-like lugs on a front side (the side facing the front side of the container in the longitudinal direction of the container) of the upper coupling projection are used.
  • More modern variants, such as the in DE 298 11 460 U1 shown Midlock have lateral projections on the upper coupling projection, which extend approximately parallel to the stop plate. These projections engage in the lower corner fitting of the upper container.
  • the opposite, lower coupling projection has a locking nose on a front side.
  • the vessel When depositing the upper container on the lower container already located on board the vessel then slides either the entire Midlock opposite the upper container or the entire upper container on a lower inclined surface of the locking lug forward or backward and engages in the further lowering of the container in the upper corner fitting of the lower container.
  • This midlock has the following disadvantage. Most often, on board ships, the rear container corner fitting in which a midlock is typically deployed is poorly accessible, as stated above. But there are also container ships in which at least at one part of the loading stations, or because not all loading stations are occupied, for attaching additional lashing, such as lashing bars, the containers are accessible. Here, however, no lashing in the upper corner fitting of the lower container can be struck in the known Midlocks, since the frontal opening is occupied because of engaging therein locking lug. That is why in the DE 100 04 359 A1 a special Einhakbeschlag a Lashing proposed that encompasses the locking lug conventional Midlocks. This hooking fitting has not previously been used in practice.
  • the lateral locking lug is laterally biased by means of springs.
  • the lateral arrangement of the locking lug, the frontal bore of the corner fitting of the lower container remains freely accessible for lashing.
  • the locking lug is associated with a conventional way for lashing containers on board ships anyway unused lateral opening of the corner fitting, where it therefore does not bother.
  • Ineingriff impart of the known Coupling piece with the corner fitting of another container springs back the locking nose and locks automatically into the lower corner fitting.
  • the disadvantage here is that a manual release of the coupling piece from the corner fitting is required.
  • fouling or damaging the locking nose during jamming or erasing can lead to snagging.
  • the invention is based on the problem of providing a coupling piece and an arrangement of stacked containers and a method for connecting stacked containers, in which an automatic unlocking of the coupling piece without manual intervention is possible.
  • the coupling piece according to the invention is characterized in that the locking lug has at its top a sloping shoulder.
  • the arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that the containers are connected to each other at least at the corner fittings of a front side of the container, each with one of the coupling pieces according to the invention.
  • the upper container is pivoted when connecting and / or decoupling with the lower container about its vertical axis or, alternatively, offset laterally.
  • the coupling piece according to the invention as well as the arrangement according to the invention and the method offer a further advantage.
  • 20-foot containers are interconnected at 40-foot container loading locations by two different super-stacking fittings, one with two midlocks and the other with two twistlocks.
  • an inadvertently used instead of a midlock twistlock often can be difficult to solve.
  • a so-called universal lock also called Unilock
  • An example of such a universal lock is the subject of DE 101 05 785 A1 ,
  • the Universal Locks proposed so far have not really gained a foothold in practice.
  • they have the disadvantage that for unloading (deleting) the container still the congestion staff at the accessible Containereckbehaven ("Twistlock position”) must open the universal lock manually, so that the universal lock with the upper corner fitting of the lower container is unlocked.
  • a trained according to the invention coupling piece can also be used as a fully automatic.
  • One coupling piece is used in each of four lower corner fittings of the upper container.
  • the locking lugs in each case point in different directions at the "front" corner fittings on the one hand and the "rear” corner fittings on the other hand.
  • the container in particular due to the design of the coupling pieces, slightly rotated about its vertical axis and the lower coupling projections of the coupling pieces snap with the locking lugs in the corner fittings of the lower container. As a result, a secure in ship movements locking the stacked containers is given.
  • the containers By rolling movements of the ship in the sea operation, the containers tilt in the transverse direction. One longitudinal side of the container is thereby subjected to pressure, while the opposite longitudinal side is loaded to train.
  • the dome pieces on the pressure side of the container prevent the displacement of the entire container, so that the locking lug on the tension side can not get out of engagement with the upper corner fitting of the lower container and so safely transmits the tensile forces between the upper and lower containers on the tension side. Even in the bow area of a ship stacked containers in which may occur by pounding the ship under certain circumstances, that occur on all four coupling pieces tensile loads are kept safe.
  • a sloping shoulder is disposed at the top of the locking nose.
  • the length of the other (lower) coupling projection is slightly smaller than the length of an associated elongated hole of the associated corner fitting of the other (lower) container according to a structural design of the invention. Accordingly, the maximum width of the locking lug should be slightly smaller than the width of the slot.
  • the lower coupling projection then just fits just through the slot, which is completely sufficient for the desired coupling and uncoupling of the stacked containers; but counteracts an unintentional decoupling due to ship movements. This is further assisted when end edges of the other (lower) coupling projection have a contour that corresponds to the contour of the associated slot in this area.
  • the coupling piece in the longitudinal direction only a very small game, so that the coupling piece blocked in the transverse direction. So there is a further improved security against displacement of the coupling piece in the transverse direction, so that the secure connection of the stacked container is further improved by means of the locking lug.
  • an insertion bevel should be arranged on the longitudinal side of the lower coupling projection facing away from the locking nose.
  • the insertion slope has a corresponding to a chamfer on the upper slot of the upper container corner fitting angle and is thus fed in the slot.
  • only the upper, facing the impact plate area corresponding to the length of the chamfer on the slot may be formed with a corresponding to the chamfer at the slot angle. Below this chamfer, a flatter course than the chamfer is then provided. As a result, the vertical distance between the locking lug and the stop plate can be reduced, whereby at the same time the vertical play of the coupling piece is reduced in the corner fitting. As a result, the lashing of the interconnected containers on board the ship is further increased.
  • the locking lug against the lower coupling projection is formed transversely displaceable.
  • the locking lug against the lower coupling projection is pushed back and pushed back after insertion into the slot again by the force of a spring in the locking position.
  • a Ein 15kegel is arranged according to a further structural embodiment of the invention below the locking lug.
  • This Ein 15kegel tapers down so that the Ein 15kegel for the correct positioning of the lower coupling projection, and thus the entire coupling piece, provides for coupling.
  • the in the Fig. 1 to 8 illustrated embodiments of a coupling piece according to the invention are particularly suitable as a so-called fully automatic 20, also referred to as Uni-Lock.
  • the fully automatic machine 20 has a central stop plate 21 and upwardly and downwardly extending coupling projections 22 and 23, respectively.
  • lateral projections 24, 25 are arranged, which engage behind a lower slot of a container corner fitting, so that they are positively locked within this corner fitting.
  • a locking piece 26 which can be pivoted by means of a hand lever 27 to the side in the plane of the stop plate 21.
  • the present fully automatic machine 20 is still a conventional midlock, such as in DE 298 11 460 U1 is shown and used like this Midlock in the lower corner fitting of the upper container of the congestion staff.
  • the hand lever 27 are always the container front side (the door-front or the closed rear side) facing.
  • the side of the hand lever 27 is therefore referred to in the context of this description and the claims as the front side V, the opposite side as the rear side R and the adjacent thereto, from the front side V to the back side R facing sides as longitudinal sides L.
  • the lower coupling projection 23 is formed in a special way.
  • This coupling projection 23 has a projecting locking lug 28.
  • the locking lug 28 is one of the two longitudinal sides L, namely as shown in FIG Fig. 2 assigned to the right longitudinal side L.
  • the locking lug 28 is arranged laterally, so that one of the front sides of the container associated with the opening of the container corner fitting for hooking lashing remains free.
  • an insertion bevel 30 is provided on the side facing away from the locking lug 28 longitudinal side L of the lower coupling projection 23.
  • the insertion bevel 30 causes when inserting the fully automatic machine 20 in the upper corner fitting of the lower container, ie when discontinuing the upper container on the lower container, the respective fully automatic 20 in the representation according to Fig. 2 is moved to the right.
  • a chamfer 31 is provided at the transition from the coupling projection 23 to the stop plate 21. This chamfer 31 is provided primarily for strength reasons. As in Fig. 2 but recognizable, the chamfer 31 and the upper part of the insertion 30 corresponds exactly with a chamfer 32 on the slot 33 of the corner fitting.
  • the length l of the lower coupling projection 23 is only slightly smaller than the length of the slot 33.
  • the width b of the locking lug 28 at its widest point is also only slightly smaller than the width of the slot 33.
  • the projecting depth t of the locking lug 28 is thus only slightly smaller than the distance a of the side facing away from the locking lug 28 side surface of the coupling projection 28 of the associated inner wall of the elongated hole 33 (FIG. Fig. 2 ).
  • the locking lug 28 is formed with a shoulder 34 sloping outwardly.
  • the shoulder 34 abuts against the underside of the container corner fitting, so that the fully automatic 20 in the illustration according to Fig. 2 is pressed to the left and so out of engagement with the slot 33 comes.
  • FIGS. 3 to 8 the loading and unloading of containers using the fully automatic machine 20 is shown.
  • Fig. 3 shows a parked, for example, aboard ships container 35 to which a further container 36 is to be discontinued.
  • the further container 36 is shown in the position just before locking on the lower container 35.
  • the fully automatic machine 20 with the Ein Industrieskegel 29 on the upper edge of the slot 33 and is then by a movement of the entire upper container 36 by a longitudinal rotation of the container 36 about its vertical axis (see Fig. 7 , Arrow 37).
  • the movement of the fully automatic machine is by the arrow combination 38 in 4 and 5 clarified.
  • the front fully automatic machines 20 slide when locking due to the Ein Industrieskegels 29 first to the left (arrow 38.1), while the rear fully automatic 20 slide to the right.
  • the fully automatic machine 20 initially lowers vertically (arrow 38.2).
  • the front fully automatic machines 20 finally slide to the right (Arrow 38.3), while the rear automatic machines 20 slide analogously to the left in their respective locking position.
  • Fig. 6 finally shows the containers 35, 36 in the fully locked position.
  • Fig. 4 shows analogously to Fig. 3 the upper container 36 shortly after unlocking during unloading (deletion) of the container 36.
  • the container is in turn slightly rotated about its vertical axis relative to the lower container 35.
  • the front fully automatic machines 20 slide upwards to the left according to arrow 40 in the illustration according to FIG 4 and FIG. 5 out of the slots 33, while the rear fully automatic 20 according to arrow 41 in Fig. 4 slide right out of the oblong holes 33 out.
  • the container 36 thus rotates clockwise in accordance with arrow 42 in Fig. 7 during unloading.
  • a front and rear end edge 39 of the fully automatic, more precisely the lower coupling projection 23, at least in the region of the slot 33 of the upper corner fitting 43, 44 of the lower container 35 has a contour corresponding to the contour of the elongated hole 33. Specifically, a circular arc-shaped contour is provided.
  • FIGS. 9 to 14 is a particular suitable as a Midlock 45 dome piece, which is not part of the invention shown.
  • the Midlock 45 corresponds in its essential components to the fully automatic 20 according to Fig. 1 to 8 , so that comparable components in the FIGS. 9 to 14 are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the FIGS. 1 to 8 , But how in Fig. 10 recognizable, also a laterally disposed locking lug 46 of the midlock 45 has no sloping shoulder on, but has an approximately horizontal top 47.
  • An outer side wall 48 of the locking lug 46 is guided on the side facing away from the hand lever 27 obliquely inward, as this particular in Fig. 14 easy to recognize.
  • FIGS. 11 to 14 the unlocking of the upper container 36 from the lower container 35 is shown.
  • a semiautomatic twistlock 49 inserted there is manually unlocked by the stevedores at the front, for the congestion staff freely accessible corner fittings 44 inserted there.
  • the container 36 is raised with a container loading crane (arrow 50).
  • the front corner fittings 44 of the containers 35, 36 lift from each other and the container 36 is tilted.
  • Due to the oblique side wall 48 of the midlock 45 is now in the illustration according to Fig. 13 pressed to the left (arrow 51), whereby the locking lug 46 comes out of the slot 33 free.
  • Fig. 15 shows an embodiment in which the insertion bevel 30 is first formed with a steeper chamfer 52.
  • the angle of this chamfer (52) corresponds to the angle of the chamfer 32 at the slot 33 of the container corner fitting.
  • the insertion bevel 30 merges into a chamfer 53 with a flatter angle with respect to the chamfer 52.
  • This variant has the advantage that the vertical distance between the bottom of the stop plate 21 and the upper shoulder 34 can be shortened at the locking lug 28. This also results in a lower vertical clearance of the coupling piece. The security of the interconnected container is thus improved.
  • the locking lug 54 is displaceable relative to the lower coupling projection 23. Specifically, the locking lug 54 slightly obliquely upward toward the Be inserted 30 be moved.
  • This variant is advantageous if the stacked containers aboard ships are so close together that for loading and / or unloading the container when loading and / or unloading the container can not be rotated about its vertical axis.
  • coupling piece 54 is concretely pushed back only when loading the container, so when inserting the lower coupling projection 23 into the slot 33. Due to the slightly obliquely inclined upward course of the displacement direction of the locking lug, which corresponds approximately to the angle of the upper shoulder 34, formed on the locking lug 54 during unloading a nearly perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the locking lug 54 force. When unloading the containers must therefore turn slightly. By this measure, but it is ensured that the stacked containers do not unlock themselves by forces acting on them in the sea state. Any difficulties that may arise when unloading the container from closely spaced containers will revert to safety during transport aboard ships. At the same time it can be seen that the course of the lower slope 56 relative to the displacement direction of the locking lug 54 is slightly larger than a right angle. This achieves optimum force on the locking lug 54 for pushing back during loading.
