Abstract

The transporting and storage rack (1), e.g. a pallet for long articles, includes at least two U-shaped bearers (2, 3, 4), connected by beams (5) and spaced out by then. There are several angled bracing elements (6) between the carriers at an angle to the beams, by which the carriers are braced to each other. The clamping elements may be diagonally crossed.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Transport- und Lagergestell, insbesondere eine Langgutpalette, mit mindestens zwei U-förmigen Trägem, die über Profile miteinander verbunden und durch diese beabstandet gehalten sind.The present invention relates to a transport and storage rack, in particular a long goods pallet, with at least two U-shaped carriers, which are connected to each other via profiles and held spaced therefrom.

Es gibt Paletten für Langgut, die aus miteinander verschweißten Stahlprofilen bestehen, sodass auch große Gewichtslasten aufgenommen werden können und die Palette sowohl über einen Kran als auch mit einem Gabelstapler transportiert werden kann. Die Herstellung dieser Paletten ist jedoch relativ aufwendig und die Handhabung ist aufgrund des hohen Eigengewichtes nur mit entsprechenden Maschinen möglich.There are pallets for long goods, which consist of steel profiles welded together, so that also large weight loads can be taken up and the pallet can be transported both by a crane and with a forklift. However, the production of these pallets is relatively expensive and handling is possible only with appropriate machines due to the high weight.

Aus der DE 199 23 328 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Stückgut bekannt, bei der mehrere U-förmige Bügel vorgesehen sind, die über Hohlprofile miteinander verbunden sind. In den Hohlprofilen sind Spannelemente vorgesehen, die die Bügel zusammen ziehen. Nachteilig bei dieser Vorrichtung ist, dass bei Angreifen eines Gabelstaplers in einem mittigen Bereich die Hohlprofile seitlich stark nach unten biegen können. Auch beim Transport über einen Kran kann sich der mittlere Bereich relativ stark nach unten durchbiegen. Neben den statischen Schwächen besteht bei der vorbekannten Vorrichtung der Nachteil, dass die Montage und die Demontage der einzelnen Teile relativ aufwendig ist, da bei der Montage ein Spannelement von ca. 6 Meter Länge durch eine Vielzahl von Wangen und Hohlprofilen geführt werden muss.From the DE 199 23 328 a device for receiving piece goods is known in which a plurality of U-shaped brackets are provided, which are interconnected via hollow profiles. In the hollow sections clamping elements are provided which pull the bracket together. A disadvantage of this device is that when attacking a forklift in a central region, the hollow profiles can bend laterally downwards. Even when transported over a crane, the middle area can bend relatively strong down. In addition to the static weaknesses in the prior art device has the disadvantage that the assembly and disassembly of the individual parts is relatively expensive, since during assembly a clamping element of about 6 meters in length must be performed by a variety of cheeks and hollow sections.

Die US 3,402,845 zeigt eine Palette mit einem Boden, der einen Rahmen mit vier nach oben gerichteten Stützen aufweist. Gegenstände können auf dem Boden der Palette abgestellt werden. Die Stützen sind durch Spannseile mit der Rahmenstruktur des Bodens verbunden. Zudem sind die Stützen über Rohre gekoppelt.The US 3,402,845 shows a pallet with a bottom, which has a frame with four uprights. Objects can be parked on the floor of the pallet. The supports are connected by tension cables with the frame structure of the soil. In addition, the supports are coupled via pipes.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Transport- und Lagergestell zu schaffen, das bei einfachem Aufbau hohe statische Belastungen aufnehmen kann.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a transport and storage rack that can accommodate high static loads with a simple structure.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Transport- und Lagergestell mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a transport and storage rack with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß sind zwischen zwei Trägem mehrere winklig zu den Profilen angeordnete Spannelemente vorgesehen, mittels denen die Träger zueinander vorgespannt sind. Dadurch sind die Träger nicht nur über horizontal angeordnete Profile miteinander verbunden, sondern die quer zu den Profilen angeordneten Spannelemente verstärken fachwerkartig die Verbindung zwischen zwei Trägern. Dadurch können Belastungen durch einseitiges Anheben des Transport- und Lagergestelles besser aufgenommen werden und es findet nur eine geringe Verbiegung statt. Zudem sind die Spannelemente leichter zugänglich und können einfacher montiert werden, da sie nicht in den Profilen verdeckt angeordnet sind.According to the invention, a plurality of angularly arranged to the profiles clamping elements are provided between two carriers by means of which the carriers are biased to each other. As a result, the carriers are not only connected to one another via horizontally arranged profiles, but the clamping elements arranged transversely to the profiles reinforce the connection between two carriers in a lattice-like manner. As a result, loads can be better absorbed by unilateral lifting of the transport and storage rack and there is only a small deflection. In addition, the clamping elements are more accessible and can be easily mounted because they are not hidden in the profiles.

Gemäß der Erfindung sind jeweils zwei Spannelemente diagonal gekreuzt zwischen zwei Trägem gespannt. Dadurch können die Kraftkomponenten quer zu den Profilen jeweils ausgeglichen werden und es entsteht ein stabiler fachwerkartiger Aufbau.According to the invention, in each case two clamping elements are stretched diagonally between two carriers. As a result, the force components can be compensated across the profiles each and there is a stable truss-like structure.

Vorzugsweise sind die Profile senkrecht zu einer durch die U-förmigen Träger aufgespannten Ebene angeordnet und die Spannelemente an Schenkeln der Träger festgelegt. Die Spannelemente sind dadurch in einem seitlichen Bereich des Transport- und Lagergestells angeordnet und somit gut zugänglich, gerade für Reparaturarbeiten. Dabei können zwei Profile pro Schenkel vorgesehen sein, zwischen denen zwei diagonal gekreuzte Spannelemente angeordnet sind, sodass die Spannelemente von den Profilen umgeben sind. Das Transport- und Lagergestell kann beispielsweise drei bis neun U-förmige Träger aufweisen, die über Profile und Spannelemente miteinander verbunden sind. Die Spannelemente sind dabei jeweils zwischen zwei benachbarten Trägem gespannt. An einem mittleren Träger kann beispielsweise auch nur eine Umlenkung für die Spannelemente vorgesehen sein.Preferably, the profiles are arranged perpendicular to a plane spanned by the U-shaped carrier plane and fixed the clamping elements on legs of the carrier. The clamping elements are thereby arranged in a lateral region of the transport and storage rack and thus easily accessible, especially for repair work. In this case, two profiles per leg can be provided, between which two diagonally crossed clamping elements are arranged, so that the clamping elements are surrounded by the profiles. The transport and storage rack may for example have three to nine U-shaped carrier, which are interconnected via profiles and clamping elements. The clamping elements are each stretched between two adjacent carriers. On a central support, for example, only one deflection for the clamping elements can be provided.

Für eine einfache Montage weisen die Träger Aufnahmen auf, in die die Profile formschlüssig oder mit Presssitz einsteckbar sind. Ferner sind an den Trägem Befestigungsmittel vorgesehen, um die Spannelemente in einer gespannten Position zu fixieren. Die Spannelemente können dabei als Spanngurte, Seile, Bänder oder Bleche ausgebildet sein.For easy installation, the carriers have recordings in which the profiles can be inserted in a positive or press-fit manner. Furthermore, fastening means are provided on the carriers in order to fix the clamping elements in a tensioned position. The clamping elements can be designed as straps, ropes, bands or sheets.

Damit das Transport- und Lagergestell nur ein geringes Eigengewicht aufweist, sind die Träger aus Kunststoff hergestellt, der bei Bedarf auch mit festigkeitssteigernden Füllstoffen, wie Glasfasern usw. angereichert sein kann. Auch die Profile können aus Kunststoff und/oder Metall hergestellt sein.Thus, the transport and storage rack has only a low weight, the carrier are made of plastic, which can be enriched if necessary, with strength-increasing fillers, such as glass fibers, etc. The profiles can be made of plastic and / or metal.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen mit Bezug auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Ein Transport- und Lagergestell 1 dient zur Aufnahme von länglichen Gegenständen, wie Stangen und Profilen, die beispielsweise 6 Meter lang sein können, und wird daher auch als "Langgutpalette" bezeichnet. Das Transport- und Lagergestell 1 umfasst U-förmige Träger 2, 3, 4, die aus Kunststoff hergestellt sind und jeweils einen bodenseitig angeordneten Balken 7 aufweisen, von dem sich zwei Schenkel 8 nach oben erstrecken. Die Träger 2, 3, 4 spannen mit dem Balken 7 und den Schenkeln 8 eine Ebene auf, von der sich senkrecht Profile 5 erstrecken, die zwei Träger 2, 3, 4 miteinander verbinden und auf Distanz halten. Die Profile 5 sind derart an den Schenkeln 8 montierbar, dass diese an den Trägem 2, 3, 4 eingesteckt und vorfixiert werden können. Anschließend werden bei der Montage Spannelemente 6 vorgesehen, die zwischen zwei Trägem 2, 3, und 4 in einem Winkel von mehr als 20° zu den Profilen diagonal vorgespannt und fixiert werden. Hierdurch werden statisch vorteilhafte Dreieckselemente gebildet, die eine besonders hohe Stabilität für eine Lastabtragung besitzen.A transport and storage rack 1 serves to receive elongated objects, such as bars and profiles, which may be, for example, 6 meters long, and is therefore also referred to as a "long goods pallet". The transport and storage rack 1 comprises U-shaped beams 2, 3, 4, which are made of plastic and each having a bottom-side arranged beams 7, of which two legs 8 extend upwards. The beams 2, 3, 4 span with the beam 7 and the legs 8 a plane from which perpendicular profiles 5 extend, connecting two beams 2, 3, 4 with each other and keeping them at a distance. The profiles 5 can be mounted on the legs 8 in such a way that they can be inserted and pre-fixed to the supports 2, 3, 4. Then clamping elements 6 are provided during assembly, which are biased diagonally between two supports 2, 3, and 4 at an angle of more than 20 ° to the profiles and fixed. As a result, statically advantageous triangular elements are formed, which have a particularly high stability for a load transfer.

In Figur 2 ist ein Endabschnitt eines Schenkels 8 des aus Kunststoff einstückig hergestellten Trägers 2, 3, 4 dargestellt. Das Profil 5 ist als Hohlprofil ausgebildet und weist eine im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen rechteckförmige Kontur auf, wobei das Profil 5 in eine Aufnahme 9 an dem Schenkel 8 eingesteckt werden kann. Dabei kann auch ein Vorsprung in die Hohlkammer des Profils 5 eingreifen.In FIG. 2 is an end portion of a leg 8 of the integrally made of plastic carrier 2, 3, 4 shown. The profile 5 is formed as a hollow profile and has a cross-sectionally substantially rectangular contour, wherein the profile 5 can be inserted into a receptacle 9 on the leg 8. In this case, a projection in the hollow chamber of the profile 5 intervene.

Als Spannelement 6 ist ein Seil vorgesehen, das aus Stahl besteht und eine Schlaufe um einen Zapfen 10 bildet. Das Seil lässt sich mit der Schlaufe schnell an dem Zapfen 10 montieren und über bekannte Klemmelemente festlegen.As a clamping element 6, a rope is provided, which consists of steel and forms a loop around a pin 10. The rope can be quickly mounted with the loop on the pin 10 and set on known clamping elements.

Das Profil 5 wird vorzugsweise für eine klemmende Verbindung mit einem Übermaß in die Aufnahme 9 gesteckt. Hierdurch entsteht eine stabile Verbindung zwischen Profil 5 und Träger 2, 3, 4. Es können auch noch zusätzliche Sicherungselemente, wie Querstifte, Rastmittel oder dergleichen eingesetzt werden, sodass sich hierdurch bereits eine gewisse Festigkeit und eine Vorfixierung ergibt. Die Aufnahme 9 für die Profile ist an die Geometrie des Profils 5 angepasst. Es können statt rechteckförmigen Profilen 5 natürlich auch elliptische, kreisförmige und andere Profile eingesetzt werden, deren Wandstärke sich an den erforderlichen Belastungen orientiert, insbesondere auch an den Kräften durch die Spannelemente 6.The profile 5 is preferably inserted into the receptacle 9 for a clamping connection with an excess. This creates a stable connection between the profile 5 and the carrier 2, 3, 4. There may also be additional securing elements, such as transverse pins, locking means or the like are used, so that this already results in a certain strength and a prefix. The receptacle 9 for the profiles is adapted to the geometry of the profile 5. Of course, instead of rectangular profiles 5, it is also possible to use elliptical, circular and other profiles whose wall thickness is oriented to the required loads, in particular also to the forces due to the clamping elements 6.

In Figur 3 ist eine modifizierte Ausführungsform eines Schenkels 8 eines Trägers 2, 3, 4 gezeigt. Das Profil 5 ist an einer Aufnahme 9 eingesteckt und dort festgelegt. Das Spannelement 6 ist mittig an dem Schenkel 8 angeordnet und über einen Bolzen 11 festgelegt, der an dem Schenkel 8 über eine Mutter 12 fixiert ist. Durch den Bolzen 11 und die Mutter 12 lässt sich das als Bandblech ausgebildete Spannelement 6 in der gewünschten Position an dem Schenkel 8 fixieren. Statt dem Bolzen 11 kann auch ein anderes Befestigungsmittel eingesetzt werden, das über ein Verrasten, Verschrauben oder Klemmen eine Fixierung des Spannelementes 6 erreicht. Der Bolzen 11 kann auch als Exzenter ausgebildet sein, sodass hierüber noch Toleranzen ausgeglichen werden können oder zusätzlich eine Spannung auf das Spannelement 6 aufgebracht werden kann.In FIG. 3 a modified embodiment of a leg 8 of a carrier 2, 3, 4 is shown. The profile 5 is inserted at a receptacle 9 and fixed there. The clamping element 6 is arranged centrally on the leg 8 and fixed by a pin 11 which is fixed to the leg 8 via a nut 12. By the bolt 11 and the nut 12 can be fixed as a band plate clamping element 6 in the desired position on the leg 8. Instead of the bolt 11, another fastening means can be used, which achieves a fixation of the clamping element 6 via a latching, screwing or clamping. The bolt 11 may also be formed as an eccentric, so that tolerances can still be compensated for this or additionally, a voltage can be applied to the clamping element 6.

In den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen sind verschiedene Spannelemente 6 dargestellt. Natürlich können auch andere Spannelemente 6 vorgesehen sein, die über Hebel, Schrauben oder andere Mittel gespannt und fixiert werden können. Die Profile 5 können dabei getrennt von den Spannelementen 6 montiert werden, sodass im Falle einer Beschädigung eines Elementes dieses einzeln ausgewechselt werden kann und das Transport- und Lagergestell 1 im Übrigen weiter benutzt werden kann. Das Gesamtgewicht des Transport- und Lagergestelles 1 ist aufgrund des Einsatzes von Kunststoffmaterialien relativ leicht.In the illustrated embodiments, various clamping elements 6 are shown. Of course, other clamping elements 6 may be provided which can be stretched and fixed by means of levers, screws or other means. The profiles 5 can be mounted separately from the clamping elements 6, so that in the event of damage to an element this can be replaced individually and the transport and storage rack 1 can be further used by the way. The total weight of the transport and storage rack 1 is relatively easy due to the use of plastic materials.
