Definitions

  • the invention concerns a self-propelled lift truck for handling slabs of material, particularly suitable for the horizontal loading and unloading of containers.
  • These cases generally made of wood, comprise a frame arranged around the perimeter of the slabs, which protects them against breakage during handling and transportation.
  • crosswise dimensions of a case depend on the size of the slabs contained therein, while its thickness depends on their number, which in turn depends on the capacity limit of the case, usually in the order of 2000 kg.
  • the thickness of a case is considerably inferior to its crosswise dimensions and therefore it is handled by gripping it from above to prevent it from overturning.
  • the cases are provided with projecting elements arranged on the frame, so that they can be gripped by the machines used for handling the material.
  • the containers of the first type that is, those loaded from above, pose the drawback that they involve higher transport costs, because they must be positioned on top of the load due to the fact that they cannot be stacked.
  • the cases are introduced longitudinally, arranging them side by side and locking them with suitable fastening means that at the destination are removed to allow the cases to be unloaded from the container and stored in the warehouse.
  • the cases During the loading, unloading, transporting operations, from and into the warehouse, the cases must be secured to the handling means to prevent them from accidentally falling down which, beside damaging the material, can cause injuries to the operators, above all when the transported material is fragile, like for example glass.
  • the cases are transported from the warehouse to the parking area in proximity of the container or vice versa using self-propelled lift trucks.
  • lift trucks which in some versions can transport even more than one case at a time, are equipped with gripping means manoeuvred by the operator, which engage with the underside of the above mentioned elements projecting from the frame and comprise devices suited to secure the case.
  • Said gripping means can be adjusted through actuators, in such a way as to adapt them to the dimensions and number of the cases to be handled.
  • Said structure is U shaped, with two arms arranged horizontally on top of each other.
  • the upper arm is coupled to a bridge crane, thus allowing the structure to be moved, while the lower arm is provided with means for gripping the case that are similar to those present on the lift trucks described above.
  • the lifting structure is designed so that the lower arm can get into the container together with the case, while the upper arm, coupled to the bridge crane, remains outside the container itself.
  • the cases are unloaded from the container by repeating the operations described above in the reverse order.
  • a first drawback posed by this loading and unloading system lies in the complexity of the operations, which is due to the need to provide for intermediate deposit of the cases and to use two different means of transport.
  • a further drawback lies in that the lifting structure, being simply coupled with the bridge crane, requires the presence of two or more persons inside the container to receive the case, keep it properly aligned and manoeuvre the gripping means.
  • a further drawback lies in that, due to the fixed arm, the case manoeuvring range is limited, which makes the loading operation unsafe and the unloading operation practically impossible, the latter requiring a much greater manoeuvring precision than that offered by this type of equipment.
  • a further drawback of this system is represented by the fact that, to ensure quicker loading operations, it does not comprise means for securing the case, which therefore can accidentally slip and fall down during handling.
  • Document EP-0 890 543 discloses a machine which comprises a boom whose end rotatably supports a side lift suited for grasping an ISO container, such that the container can be freely rotated about a substantially vertical axis.
  • a drawback of this construction is that it is quite bulky and, therefore, unsuitable for loading and unloading a case of the above mentioned kind in and from a container.
  • the present invention aims to overcome all the drawbacks mentioned above, occurring in the known systems for handling slabs of material.
  • the lift truck comprises a self-propelled bearing structure equipped with wheels and suitable power means.
  • the lift truck also comprises a telescopic arm, one end of which is connected to the bearing structure through first articulation means, while the opposite end is provided with means for gripping the projecting elements of the frame for coupling with and handling of the structure containing the material.
  • Said gripping means are connected to the telescopic arm via second articulation means.
  • the wide range of movement of the case ensured by the lift truck of the invention allows all the operations to be carried out by a single operator that manoeuvres the truck.
  • the lift truck 1 also comprises a telescopic arm 3 provided with actuator means 4 for its extension.
  • the telescopic arm 3 consists of two telescopic sections arranged one inside the other, but it is clear that other embodiments may comprise more than two sections.
  • the telescopic arm 3 is connected at one end to the bearing structure 2 through first articulation means 5, comprising a pin 6 that defines a horizontal axis and actuator means 5a for rotating the telescopic arm 3 around said pin 6.
  • first articulation means 5 comprising a pin 6 that defines a horizontal axis and actuator means 5a for rotating the telescopic arm 3 around said pin 6.
  • the above mentioned pin 6 and actuator means 5a are supported by a revolving turret 7 provided with driving means for rotation around a pin defining a vertical axis, said means being not represented herein.
  • said gripping means 9 comprise a beam 10 that defines a longitudinal axis X and is provided at each end with a projecting shelf 11, 12 at the side of the beam 10 itself.
  • the projecting shelves 11, 12 allow the containing structure 34 to be gripped, since they match with the underside of the undercut surfaces defined on each projecting element 36, 37 of the same and ensuring attachment and handling of the same.
  • the second articulation means 8 comprise a joint 16 provided with a first pin 17 defining a horizontal axis, attached to the telescopic arm 3.
  • the first pin 17 supports a second pin 18 defining an axis at right angles to that of the first pin 17 to which the beam 10 is hinged at right angles to its longitudinal axis X.
  • the lift truck 1 also comprises actuator means 19 for rotating the joint 16 around the first pin 17 and driving means 20 for rotating the beam 10 around the second pin 18.
  • the above mentioned actuator means 5a for rotating the telescopic arm 3 are operatively connected to the actuator means 19 of the joint 16 that cooperate with the actuator means 5a to keep said beam 10 in horizontal position.
  • the beam 10 may be slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal, in order to adapt to a possible inclination of the container.
  • the driving means 20 for the rotation of the beam 10 around the second pin 18 comprise a motor 21, fixed to the joint 16, and a pinion 22 connected to the shaft of the motor 21, meshing with a gear 23 fixed to the beam 10.
  • the driving means 20 may be different from those just described, provided that they are suited to set the beam 10 rotating around the second pin 18.
  • the containing structure 34 attached to the gripping means 9 can be pushed inside the container with the telescopic arm 3, while the first articulation means 5 and the second articulation means 8 ensure that the holding means 9 have a wide range of movement, necessary for the various operations.
  • the lift truck 1 achieves the object to permit both the handling of the containing structure 34 and the execution of the loading and loading operations.
  • each shelf 11, 12 is a substantially prismatic body 13, 14 defining a longitudinal axis Y1, Y2 arranged substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis X of the beam 10.
  • Said powered guide means 15 comprise one pair of sliding elements 24 respectively arranged on each end of the beam 10 and associated with actuator means 25 to control their sliding movement.
  • the beam 10 and the sliding elements 24 may be coupled in a manner different from that described above, for example through linear guides or other known techniques.
  • the mobility of the projecting shelves 11, 12, obtained through the sliding elements 24 and the corresponding actuator means 25, makes it possible to remotely control the mutual approach and separation of the projecting shelves 11, 12, respectively to grip and release the containing structure 34.
  • the actuator means 25 of the sliding elements 24 are operatively connected to one another to carry out mutually opposing movements of the sliding elements 24 themselves.
  • the actuator means 25 are connected to suitable valves known in the sector and not represented herein, which make it possible to limit the clamping pressure of the sliding elements 24 around the containing structure 34, so that they stop once they have come into contact with the latter. In this way it is possible to avoid damaging the containing structure 34 during the gripping stage and also to prevent it from being dangerously dragged by the sliding element 24 that is the first to come into contact with it.
  • the above advantageously makes it possible to simplify the operations for gripping and releasing the containing structure 34, in particular when visibility is scarce, like for example when the containing structure 34 is inside the container.
  • sliding elements 24 may also move in the same direction.
  • Each projecting shelf 11, 12 is provided at least at one end with a projecting body 13a, 14a parallel to the longitudinal axis of the beam 10 and directed towards the centre of said beam 10.
  • said projecting bodies 13a, 14a are arranged on the opposite side of the containing structure 34 with respect to the beam 10, thus stopping the side movements of the containing structure 34 to prevent it from accidentally slipping and falling down.
  • the sliding element 24 has a recess 26 that slidingly houses the projecting shelf 11, 12, thus permitting its movement along a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis Y1, Y2 of the projecting shelf 11, 12 itself.
  • this movement is carried out through a rack 27, present on each projecting shelf 11, 12 and developed along the longitudinal axis Y1, Y2 of the same, which meshes with a gear wheel 28 coupled with driving means 29 that set it rotating.
  • the driving means 29 comprise a motor 30 provided with an intermediate shaft 31 that, in the preferred embodiment, is a telescopic shaft with grooved profile having one end operatively connected to the motor 30 through transmission means 30a and the opposite end coupled with the gear wheel 28.
  • the movement of the projecting shelf 11, 12 described above advantageously makes it possible to vary the degree of projection of the shelf 11, 12 to adapt it to the thickness of the containing structure 34, in such a way as to avoid the oscillation of the latter and minimize the space occupied by the shelves 11, 12 in the operating area.
  • the gear wheels 28 are pulled by the sliding elements 24 during the movement of the latter, in such a way as to be always engaged with the racks 27 of the projecting shelves 11, 12.
  • the above mentioned telescopic shafts allow the rotary motion to be transmitted to the gear wheels 28 independently of the position of the latter along the beam 10.
  • the transmission shafts 31 of the gear wheels 28 are operatively connected to one another, so that the gear wheels 28 all rotate to the same degree and the shelves 11, 12 all project to the same extent.
  • the actuator means 4, 5a, 19, 25 and the motors 21, 30 of the lift truck 1 of the invention are respectively hydraulic jacks and motors using preferably but not necessarily oil, or pneumatic jacks and motors.
  • the lift truck 1 also comprises a driving cab 32 provided with control means that an operator can manoeuvre to control the power means, the actuator means 4, 5a, 19, 25 and the driving means 20, 29 of the lift truck 1.
  • this allows all the handling, loading and unloading operations to be carried out by a single operator.
  • the operator manoeuvres the lift truck 1 to approach the containing structure 34, after which he/she operates the telescopic arm 3, the first articulation means 5 and the second articulation means 8 to position the beam 10 at the side of the containing structure 34, in such a way as to arrange the projecting shelves 11, 12 just below the projecting elements 36, 37 of the containing structure 34.
