Abstract

A heavy load support made of plastic includes at least a rectangular bottom part with a leg part into which the fork of a forklift engages and which is provided with props located at least in the four corner areas of the bottom part. Metallic U-shaped profiled rails that are open towards the outside are provided between the props along the bottom edge of the load support. The props can be removably fixed to the bottom face of the bottom part of the load support and are provided with a support area for the corner areas of the bottom part as well as an edge which rises vertically from the support area and encloses the edges of the load support at a right angle, pegs being molded onto the free final leg surfaces of the edge to accommodate and fix the U-shaped profiled strips.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Großladungsträger aus Kunststoff gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a large load carrier made of plastic according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Derartige Großladungsträger sind Großraumbehälter auf Palettenbasis bzw. derartige Paletten selbst. Die Behälter gibt es in vielen Variationen mit geschlossenen Seitenwänden, mit durchbrochenen Seitenwänden, mit zwei oder drei Kufen, mit Rollen oder Füßen. US 4735154 ist ein beispiel für einen solden Großladysträges.Such large load carriers are large-capacity containers on a pallet basis or such pallets themselves. The containers are available in many variations with closed side walls, with open-ended side walls, with two or three runners, with castors or feet. US 4735154 is an example of a solden Grossladystrages.

Dabei sind diese Schwerlastbehälter bzw. Paletten auch stapelbar, wobei der im Stapel unterste Behälter drei bis vier Tonnen trägt.These heavy duty containers or pallets are also stackable, with the bottom of the stack container carries three to four tons.

Aus diesem Grunde wird ein solcher Stapel vom Hubstaplerfahrer nicht angehoben und abgesetzt. Stattdessen fährt er die Zinken der Gabel gegen die untere Kante des untersten Behälters bzw. der untersten Palette im Stapel und verschiebt auf diese Weise den Stapel an den gewünschten Ort über einen in der Regel rauhen Hallenboden.For this reason, such a stack is not raised and dropped by the forklift driver. Instead, he moves the tines of the fork against the lower edge of the lowest container or the lowest pallet in the stack and moves in this way the stack to the desired location on a generally rough hall floor.

Dabei kommt es naturgemäß häufig zu Beschädigungen oder Zerstörungen des Kunststoffbehälters bzw. der Palette in diesem Bereich.Naturally, damage or destruction of the plastic container or the pallet in this area naturally occurs.

Aus diesem Grunde hat man die in Rede stehenden Großladungsträger auch bereits auf Stahl-Flachpaletten gesetzt, die aus einem mit inneren Verstrebungen versehenen Metallrahmen aus nach aussen weisenden U-Profilen und an den Eckbereichen des Rahmens angeordneten Standfüßen bestehen, derart, dass die U-Profile den unteren Bereich des Behälters umschließen und durch Befestigungsschrauben mit diesem verbunden sind. Der Staplerfahrer hat somit die Möglichkeit, die Gabelspitze in das U-Profil einzufahren und auf diese Weise ohne die Gefahr von Beschädigungen der Kunststoffbehälter diese zu verschieben.For this reason, the large load carriers in question have already been set to steel flat pallets consisting of a provided with inner braces metal frame outwardly facing U-profiles and arranged at the corners of the frame feet, such that the U-profiles Enclose the bottom of the container and are connected by fastening screws with this. The forklift driver thus has the opportunity to retract the fork tip in the U-profile and in this way to move them without the risk of damage to the plastic container.

Derartige Flachpaletten sind jedoch teuer in der Herstellung, sperrig in der Lagerung und erhöhen zusätzlich das Gewicht des Stapels.However, such flat pallets are expensive to manufacture, bulky in storage and additionally increase the weight of the stack.

Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine preiswerte Alternative eines Ladungsträgerschutzes aus U-Profilen anzugeben, die äusserst wenig Lagerraum erfordert und gewichtsmäßige Vorteile bietet.Therefore, the invention has for its object to provide a low-cost alternative of a carrier protection from U-profiles, which requires very little storage space and weight advantages.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 dadurch, dass die Füße lösbar an der Unterseite des Bodenteils des Ladungsträgers befestigbar sind, eine Auflagefläche für die Eckbereiche des Ladungsträgerbodenteils sowie einen von der Auflagefläche senkrecht aufsteigenden, die Ladungsträgerkanten rechtwinklig umschließenden Rand aufweisen, an dessen freie Schenkelendflächen Zapfen zur Aufnahme und Fixierung der U-Profil-Leisten angeformt sind.The invention solves this problem according to the characterizing part of claim 1, characterized in that the feet are releasably fastened to the underside of the bottom part of the charge carrier, a support surface for the corner regions of the charge carrier bottom part and a vertically rising from the support surface, the charge carrier edges enclosing at right angles edge At the free leg end surfaces pins are formed for receiving and fixing the U-profile strips.

Dieses System macht es möglich, dass das Fußteil aus Füßen und U-Profilen zusammensteckbar ist, wobei dieses zusammengesteckte Fußteil am Ladungsträgerboden befestigbar ist.This system makes it possible that the foot part of feet and U-profiles is plugged together, this mated foot is attachable to the load carrier floor.

Im demontierten Zustand nehmen diese Fußteile sehr wenig Lagerraum ein. Trotzdem bieten sie beim Verschieben eines Ladungsträgerstapels durch einen Staplerfahrer den gleichen Schutz wie die Stahl-Flachpaletten. Umrüstung auf unterschiedliche Fußvarianten sind schnell möglich.When disassembled these foot parts take up very little storage space. Nevertheless, they provide the same protection as the steel flat pallets when moving a stack of carriers by a forklift driver. Conversion to different foot variants are possible quickly.

Als zusätzliche Verstärkung eines derartig zusammensteckbaren Fußteils ist gemäß Anspruch 2 vorgesehen, dass auf der Auflagefläche ein in Richtung der Ladungsträgerbodendiagonale ausgerichtetes Aufnahme-und Fixierungselement für eine von einem Standfuß zum diagonal gegenüberliegenden Standfuß reichende, in eine im Bodenteil vorgesehene Vertiefung eingelassene Verstärkungsleiste in Form beilspielsweise eines U-Profils vorgesehen ist.As an additional reinforcement of such a plug-together foot part is provided according to claim 2, that aligned on the support surface in the direction of the charge carrier diagonal receiving and fixing element for one of a stand to the diagonally opposite foot reaching, embedded in a recess provided in the bottom recess reinforcing strip in the form of an example U-profile is provided.

Hierzu ist auf der Auflagefläche eine der Innenabmessung des U-Profils entsprechende Konsole vorgesehen, auf die die U-Profilleiste aufgesteckt wird.For this purpose, a corresponding to the inner dimension of the U-profile console is provided on the support surface on which the U-profile strip is plugged.

Um die Herstellung der Füße zu vereinfachen und ihr Gewicht zu verringern, schlägt der Anspruch 3 vor, dass die Ladungsträgerfüße Kunststoffspritzgußteile sind.In order to simplify the manufacture of the feet and to reduce their weight, claim 3 proposes that the carrier feet are plastic injection-molded parts.

Um diese Kunststofffüße beim Verschieben vor übermäßigem Verschleiß zu schützen, schlägt der Anspruch 4 vor, dass auf der Standfläche der Füße jeweils eine Metallplatte montiert ist.In order to protect these plastic feet when moving against excessive wear, the claim 4 proposes that in each case a metal plate is mounted on the base of the feet.

Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Standfüße ganz aus Metall zu formen, beispielsweise im Druckgussverfahren oder auch durch spanabhebende Bearbeitung.However, it is also possible to form the feet made entirely of metal, for example in die-casting or by machining.

Der Anspruch 6 schlägt vor, dass die Standfüße mit der Unterseite des Ladungsträgerbodenteils verschraubbar sind. Der Fuß kann mit der Auflagefläche formschlüssig und bündig mit der Bodenfläche des Ladungsträgers eingebaut werden, wenn gemäß Anspruch 13 diese Bodenfläche entsprechend abgesenkt wird.The claim 6 proposes that the feet are screwed to the bottom of the carrier base part. Of the Foot can be installed with the support surface form-fitting and flush with the bottom surface of the carrier when according to claim 13, this bottom surface is lowered accordingly.

Hierdurch werden Querkräfte aufgenommen und die Schrauben entlastet. Darüber hinaus kann die Gabel des Gabelstaplers ungestört eingefahren werden.As a result, transverse forces are absorbed and relieved the screws. In addition, the fork of the forklift can be moved in undisturbed.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist gemäß Anspruch 7 vorgesehen, dass die Verschraubung durch Bohrungen in der Auflagefläche des Fußes erfolgt, die mit im Ladungsträgerbodenteil eingeformten Anschraub-Domen fluchten.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided according to claim 7 that the screwing takes place through bores in the support surface of the foot, which are aligned with screw-on domes formed in the charge carrier bottom part.

Diese Anschraub-Dome werden insbesondere in Lastträgerböden verwirklicht, die gitterförmig bzw. wabenförmig ausgebildet sind. In mehreren Kreuzungspunkten von derartigen Waben-Gitterstegen bzw. in den Stegen selbst sind zylinderförmige Ausnehmungen eingeformt, in die selbstschneidende Schrauben eingedreht werden.These screw-on domes are realized in particular in load carrier floors, which are formed in a lattice-shaped or honeycomb shape. In several intersections of such honeycomb grid bars or in the webs themselves cylindrical recesses are formed, are screwed into the self-tapping screws.

Wenn die Behälterfüße aus Kunststoff bestehen wird gemäß Anspruch 8 vorgeschlagen, dass zwischen den freien Schenkelendflächen des Randes und den Stirnflächen der U-Profil-Leisten ein Spiel von mehreren Millimetern (beispielsweise 5 mm) verbleibt, um die unterschiedlichen Längenausdehnungen von Kunststoff und Stahl ausgleichen zu können.If the container feet are made of plastic is proposed according to claim 8, that between the free leg end surfaces of the edge and the end faces of the U-profile strips a game of several millimeters (for example, 5 mm) remains to compensate for the different linear expansion of plastic and steel can.

Aus dem gleichen Grunde ist gemäß Anspruch 9 vorgeschlagen, dass zwischen der zum Ladungsträger weisenden Wand des Randes und der ihr zugeordneten Stirnfläche des Verstärkungsprofils ein Spiel von mehreren Millimetern verbleibt.For the same reason, it is proposed according to claim 9 that a clearance of several millimeters remains between the wall of the edge facing the charge carrier and the end face of the reinforcing profile assigned to it.

Gemäß Anspruch 10 ist die Auflagefläche des Standfußes größer ausgebildet als die Grundfläche des Standfußes selber, so dass auf diese Weise eine bessere Kraftverteilung zwischen Standfuß und Lastträger gegeben ist.According to claim 10, the support surface of the stand is formed larger than the base of the stand itself, so that in this way a better power distribution between the base and load carrier is given.

Die Füße können wie bei bekannten Ladungsträgern auch in diesem Falle durch Kufen miteinander verbunden sein.The feet can be connected to each other by skids as in known charge carriers in this case.

Ladungsträger sind gemäß der Erfindung definiert als Großraumbehälter oder als Paletten (siehe Ansprüche 11 und 12).Load carriers are defined according to the invention as large capacity containers or as pallets (see claims 11 and 12).

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand von Zeichnungen dargestellt und näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated below with reference to drawings and explained in more detail.

Detail of the charge carrier bottom part

In der Figur 1 ist ein Großraumbehälter aus Kunststoff dargestellt und allgemein mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 versehen. Der Großraumbehälter 1 auf Palettenbasis 2 ist im vorliegenden Fall eine Klappbox, bei der die Seitenwände 3 um Scharniere 4 herum nach innen eingeklappt werden können.In the FIG. 1 is a large-capacity container made of plastic and generally provided with the reference numeral 1. The large-capacity container 1 on pallet base 2 is in this case a folding box, in which the side walls 3 can be folded around hinges 4 around inwards.

Die Palettenbasis, die integraler Bestandteil des Behälters 1 ist, weist Standfüße 5 auf, zwischen denen hindurch die Gabel eines Gabelstaplers einfahrbar ist.The pallet base, which is an integral part of the container 1, has feet 5, between which the fork of a forklift is retractable.

Die Behälter 1 sind so ausgestaltet, dass mehrere übereinander gestapelt werden können, wobei das Gewicht eines derartigen Stapels mehrere Tonnen betragen kann. Für einen Gabelstapler ist es in diesem Falle aus statischen Gründen praktisch unmöglich, zum Ortwechsel den Stapel anzuheben, zu verfahren und wieder abzusetzen. Aus diesem Grunde setzen die Staplerfahrer die Zinken der Gabel des Gabelstaplers oberhalb der Standfüße 5 am Behälter 1 an und verschieben hierdurch den gesamten Stapel von einem Ort zum andern. Da die vorbekannten Behälter 1 aus Kunststoff bestehen, und die Verschiebebewegung in der Regel über einen rauhen Hallenboden erfolgt, verursachen die Gabeln der Gabelstapler bei diesem Verschiebevorgang häufig Beschädigungen bzw. Zerstörungen der Behälter 1.The containers 1 are designed so that several can be stacked one above the other, wherein the weight of such a stack can amount to several tons. For a forklift, it is practically impossible in this case, for static reasons, to lift the pile to move, to move and set down again. For this reason, the forklift driver put the tines of the fork of the forklift above the feet 5 on the container 1 and thereby move the entire stack from one place to another. Since the prior art container 1 is made of plastic, and the sliding movement is usually done on a rough hall floor, cause the forks of the forklift in this shift often damage or destruction of the container. 1

Gemäß Figur 2 wird das Unterteil eines Großraumbehälters gemäß der Erfindung modifiziert. Der eigentliche Behälter 1 (in der Figur 2 ist lediglich das Unterteil dargestellt) verfügt nicht mehr über die integrierte Palettenbasis 2.According to FIG. 2 the lower part of a large capacity container according to the invention is modified. The actual container 1 (in the FIG. 2 If only the lower part is shown), it no longer has the integrated pallet base 2.

Auf den Behälterboden 6 sind an den vier Eckbereichen Standfüße 7 aufgeschraubt, die im Detail aus der Figur 4 hervorgehen.On the container bottom 6 feet 7 are screwed to the four corners, which in detail from the FIG. 4 emerge.

Der Behälterboden 6 ist aus Verstärkungsgründen gitterförmig bzw. wabenförmig ausgebildet. Zwischen zwei sich diagonal gegenüberliegenden Standfüßen 7 ist eine als U.Profil ausgebildete Verstärkungsleiste 8 aus Metall in eine Vertiefung im Behälterboden 6 eingelassen.The container bottom 6 is formed for reinforcement reasons grid-shaped or honeycomb-shaped. Between two diagonally opposite feet 7 is formed as a U. profiled reinforcing strip 8 made of metal in a recess in the container bottom 6 is inserted.

An den Seitenkanten des Behälters 1 befinden sich zwischen den Standfüßen 7 U-Profilleisten 9 aus Stahl, wobei die Öffnung des U nach aussen zeigt.At the side edges of the container 1 are located between the feet 7 U-profile strips 9 made of steel, the opening of the U pointing outwards.

Die U-Profilleisten 9 erfüllen den Zweck, als Angriffsflächen für die Zinken der Gabel eines Gabelstaplers zu dienen.The U-profile strips 9 serve the purpose of serving as attack surfaces for the tines of the fork of a forklift.

Wie aus Figur 3 hervorgeht, wird die U-Profilleiste 9 auf ihrer Innenseite von den Stegen des wabenförmigen Bodenteils 6 abgestützt.How out FIG. 3 shows, the U-profile strip 9 is supported on its inside by the webs of the honeycomb-shaped bottom part 6.

In der Figur 4 ist in perspektivischer Darstellung ein Standfuß 7 dargestellt.In the FIG. 4 is a stand 7 is shown in perspective view.

Er besteht beispielsweise aus Kunststoff und ist im Spritzgießverfahren einteilig hergestellt.It consists for example of plastic and is produced in one piece by injection molding.

Der Standfuß 7 setzt sich zusammen aus dem eigentlichen Fußteil 10, einer über das Fußteil 10 an zwei Seiten 11 und 12 hinausragenden Auflagefläche 13. An den Seiten, die den überkragenden Bereichen der Auflagefläche gegenüberliegen befindet sich ein hochgezogener rechtwinkliger Rand 14, an dessen Schenkelendflächen 15 Zapfen 16 angeformt sind, die in ihrer Querschnittsfläche dem U-Profil der U-Profilleisten 9 entsprechen.The base 7 is composed of the actual foot part 10, one on the foot part 10 on two sides 11 and 12 protruding support surface 13. On the sides, which lie opposite the overhanging areas of the support surface is a raised right-angled edge 14, at the leg end surfaces 15th Pins 16 are formed, which correspond in their cross-sectional area of the U-profile of the U-profile strips 9.

Auf der Auflagefläche 13 ist eine konsolenartige Erhebung 17 vorgesehen (in diesem Fall ebenfalls angeformt), deren Längsausrichtung der Diagonale zwischen zwei Eckpunkten des Bodenbereichs 6 entspricht. Auch diese Konsole 17 weist eine Querschnittsfläche auf, die dem U-Profil der Verstärkungsleiste 8 entspricht.On the support surface 13, a console-like elevation 17 is provided (in this case, also formed), whose Longitudinal alignment of the diagonal between two corners of the bottom portion 6 corresponds. This console 17 also has a cross-sectional area which corresponds to the U-profile of the reinforcing strip 8.

In der Auflagefläche 13 sind mehrere Bohrungen 18 vorgesehen, durch die selbstschneidende Schrauben in Anschraub-Dome 19 eindrehbar sind, die sich in der wabenartigen Struktur des Behälterbodenteils 8 befinden (siehe Figur 5). Auf diese Weise werden die Standfüße 7 an den Eckbereichen des Behälterbodenteils 8 befestigt, nachdem auf die Zapfen 16 die U-Profilleisten 9 aufgeschoben worden sind und auch die Verstärkungsleiste 8 auf die sich diagonal gegenüberliegenden Konsolen 17 aufgestülpt worden ist.In the support surface 13 a plurality of bores 18 are provided by the self-tapping screws are screwed into Anschraub dome 19, which are in the honeycomb-like structure of the container bottom part 8 (see FIG. 5 ). In this way, the feet 7 are attached to the corner regions of the container bottom part 8, after the pins 16, the U-profile strips 9 have been postponed and also the reinforcing strip 8 has been put on the diagonally opposite brackets 17.

In der Figur 9 ist ein Eckbereich des Ladungsträgerbodens 8 dargestellt, der bei 21 entsprechend der Dicke der Auflageflächenplatte 13 abgesenkt ist. Hierdurch schließt diese Platte bündig mit der Bodenfläche ab, so dass ein ungestörtes Einfahren der Staplergabel ermöglicht wird.In the FIG. 9 a corner region of the carrier base 8 is shown, which is lowered at 21 corresponding to the thickness of the support surface plate 13. This concludes this plate flush with the bottom surface, so that an undisturbed retraction of the forklift fork is possible.

In der Figur 6 ist in Seitenansicht das Unterteil eines so ausgestatteten Großraumbehälters 1 dargestellt.In the FIG. 6 is shown in side view, the lower part of a so-equipped large-capacity container 1.

Wie sich aus der Figur 6 ergibt, verbleibt nach dem Zusammenstecken von Füßen 7 und U-Profilleisten 9 zwischen den Schenkelendflächen 15 der Zapfen 16 und den Stirnflächen der U-Profilleisten 9 ein Spiel von im vorliegenden Fall 5 mm zum Ausgleich der unterschiedlichen Längenausdehnung von Kunststoff und Metall aufgrund von Temperaturänderungen.As is clear from the FIG. 6 results remains after the mating of feet 7 and U-profile strips 9 between the leg end faces 15 of the pins 16 and the end faces of the U-profile strips 9 a game of 5 mm in the present case to compensate for the different length expansion of plastic and metal due to temperature changes.

Ein derartiges Stecksystem bestehend aus Standfüßen 7, U-Profilschienen 9 und Verstärkungsleiste 8 ist nicht nur für die eben angesprochenen Großraumbehälter 1 vorgesehen, sondern kann auch bei den weiter oben angesprochenen Paletten 20 angewendet werden, wie aus Figur 7 und 8 hervorgeht.Such a plug-in system consisting of feet 7, U-rails 9 and 8 reinforcing strip 8 is not only provided for the just mentioned large capacity container 1, but can also be applied to the above-mentioned pallets 20, as from FIG. 7 and 8th evident.

Entsprechende Elemente sind in dieser Zeichnung mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen wie in den Figuren 1 bis 6 bezeichnet.Corresponding elements are in this drawing with the same reference numerals as in the FIGS. 1 to 6 designated.
