Definitions

  • the invention is related to the handling of containers in ports and terminals, especially with the aid of a so-called straddle carrier system.
  • the invention concerns a straddle carrier, which comprises a portal body comprising essentially vertical supporting pillars and an upper body connecting them at the top, and on each side of the straddle carrier at the bottom end of the supporting pillars there are wheels carrying the portal body, whereby in between the supporting pillars below the upper body there are provided the necessary means for taking hold of the container load, and carried by the upper body there are mounted the necessary hoisting devices for hoisting and supporting the container load.
  • Such a straddle carrier is known, for example, from DE 10355946 .
  • the invention thus is to do with the moving and transporting of freight with the aid of containers.
  • the freight goods are transported conveniently in containers from the dispatcher/manufacturer of the goods directly to the buyer/recipient without any special intermediate stages.
  • the critical points of the transportation are located at those points where the manner of transporting the containers changes, such as in ports, where great quantities of containers are to be unloaded, placed in intermediate storage and reloaded for another mode of transportation.
  • the aim is to achieve as short loading/unloading times as possible, because it is expensive to have ships stay at the quayside and it will be even more expensive if the loading/unloading is delayed for some reason, thus causing the ship to be late in her scheduled line service.
  • a port crane For loading and unloading ships in ports they use a port crane, which lifts the containers either directly from trailers pulled by a vehicle or from under the crane, where they have been brought, for example, by a straddle carrier or by a transporting carrier, and it moves the containers into a ship or the other way round, that is, it moves the containers from the ship on to trailers or to a place under the crane for removal by a straddle carrier or by a transporting carrier.
  • the straddle carrier or transporting carrier thus usually transports containers between the port crane and a storage area.
  • Container cranes for their part are devices of a big size, and due to their big size it is a difficult and slow process to move them during these work rotations.
  • the port crane can handle only one container at a time.
  • straddle carrier system such solutions have already been developed, where the port crane is able to handle or hoist two containers at a time, so that the containers are located in parallel while being hoisted.
  • the port crane leaves the containers side by side under the crane waiting for transportation.
  • the containers must be left precisely in parallel under the crane, so that the port crane can pick them both up in one go.
  • the straddle carrier should have a structure that is as favourable as possible for the development in the other environment and in equipment relating to the environment.
  • the invention is mainly characterized in that the means for gripping the container load comprise two container spreaders, which are arranged in parallel in relation to the straddle carrier's driving direction and each being equipped with its own hoisting beam structure, and in that the hoisting equipment for hoisting and supporting the container load comprises an own separate hoisting mechanism arranged for each container spreader, whereby each hoisting mechanism is through hoisting ropes or other such hoisting means connected separately to a corresponding hoisting beam structure for handling parallel container loads independently of each other.
  • the hoisting beam structures of parallel container spreaders are suitable supported each one separately in the horizontal direction on supporting pillars located in relation to the straddle carrier's driving direction on the corresponding container spreader's side of the straddle carrier.
  • Each hoisting beam structure preferably comprises front and rear transverse beams and beam structures or other such connecting these in order to brace the hoisting beam structures.
  • the hoisting beam structures are suitably supported on the straddle carrier's supporting pillars through slide shoe structures allowing movement in the vertical direction.
  • Side transfer carriages from which the container spreaders are suspended, are mounted for the container spreaders to the transverse beams of the hoisting beam structures for movement along the transverse beams.
  • the side transfer carriages are equipped with actuators, which are used for separately transferring the side transfer carriages and the container spreaders suspended from these in order to separate the containers from each other and, correspondingly, to move them closer towards each other.
  • the straddle carrier is a piling straddle carrier equipped with longitudinally controlled container spreaders for handling containers of different measurements.
  • the straddle carrier's container spreaders may be twin-spreaders, whereby it is possible for the straddle carrier to handle four containers at the same time.
  • the invention provides significant advantages in comparison with the state of the art. Prominent among these advantages is, for example, the considerably better efficiency, because in the straddle carrier system according to the invention it is possible to transport and correspondingly to pile on the storage area two containers in parallel at the same time. The achieved savings especially in energy and operator costs are significant. At the same time the storage density increases, because no driving lane need now be left for the straddle carrier's wheels in between every container row, but instead in between every second container row. Other advantages and characteristic features of the invention will emerge hereinafter from the following detailed description of the invention.
  • the general reference number 10 indicates the straddle carrier.
  • the straddle carrier 10 comprises a portal body 11, to which belong essentially vertical supporting pillars 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b and an upper body 15 connecting them at the top.
  • the operator's cabin of straddle carrier 10 is indicated by reference number 29 in the figures.
  • the portal body 11 of the straddle carrier 10 according to the invention is made essentially wider than in state-of-the-art solutions in such a way that in between the body's supporting pillars 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b it has been possible to fit in two parallel container spreaders 16, 16a, 16b, whereby it is possible with the straddle carrier 10 to handle parallel containers at the same time.
  • the container spreaders are shown in the lower position with reference marks 16a, 16b and, correspondingly, in the upper position with reference marks 16a', 16b'.
  • a hoisting mechanism is mounted to rest on the upper body of the carrier's portal body and it is connected, for example, by ropes to transverse hoisting beams, which are located in between the front supporting pillars and in between the rear supporting pillars and which carry the suspended container spreader.
  • the hoisting beam structures are divided into two parts, so that they comprise a left-hand hoisting beam structure 20a and correspondingly a right-hand hoisting beam structure 20b, that is, for each container spreader 16a, 16b there is its own hoisting beam structure.
  • each hoisting beam structure 20a, 20b its own hoisting mechanism (not shown), whereby each hoisting beam structure 20a, 20b and the connected container spreaders 16a, 16b can be moved independently of each other in the height direction.
  • parallel containers when parallel containers are handled, they need not be of the same height, and they need not even be located at the same height position, that is, in parallel container piles there may be, for example, four containers on top of each other in one pile, while in the other pile there may be, for example, two containers, and despite this there will be no problem with the picking up and leaving of containers.
  • Each hoisting beam structure 20a, 20b comprises front and rear transverse beams 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b and their connecting longitudinal beams 23a, 23b or other such beam structures for bracing the structure.
  • Figure 3 also shows in dashed lines that in order to achieve additional rigidity there may also be second longitudinal beams 23a', 23b arranged in the hoisting beam structures 20a, 20b.
  • the hoisting beam structures 20a, 20b can also be braced in other ways, for example, with the aid of diagonal beams or other such, so the structure is not limited only to the one shown in the figures.
  • slide shoe structures 27a, 27b or other such guides arranged in between the hoisting beam structures 20a, 20b and the supporting pillars 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b, whereby the hoisting beam structures will get the required guidance from said supporting pillars 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b.
  • Slide shoe structures 27a, 27b or other such structures are used in connection both with the front 13a, 13b and rear 14a, 14b supporting pillars.
  • Each hoisting beam structure 20a, 20b is connected by its own hoisting ropes 28a, 28b to its own separate hoisting mechanisms (not shown), which are located in the upper body 15 and with the aid of which the hoisting movement is implemented.
  • the hoisting mechanisms are not described in greater detail in this connection and they may be, for example, of such a structure and operation, which are described in the applicant's earlier FI Patent 107142 .
  • side transfer carriages 17a, 17b, 18a, 18b are mounted, so that there are two of these both in the left-hand and in the right-hand hoisting beam structure.
  • the side transfer carriages 17a, 17b, 18a, 18b are mounted to rest on the hoisting beam structures' front 21a, 21b and rear 22a, 22b transverse beams, so that they can be moved in the straddle carrier's 10 transverse direction.
  • the side transfer carriages 17a, 17b, 18a, 18b are equipped with actuators, for example, with the hydraulic cylinders 19a, 19b shown in Figure 2 or with corresponding equipment.
  • Actuators of other types may also be used, and an electric drive (for example, a combination of an electric motor and a chain transmission) can be mentioned as a possible solution.
  • the container spreaders 16a, 16b are suspended from the side transfer carriages 17a, 18a, 17b, 18b with the aid of suitable suspending means 24a, 24b, for example, with the aid of chains and suitable guides or other such. With the aid of side transfer carriages 17a, 17b, 18a, 18b and their actuators 19a, 19b it is possible to separate adjacent containers from each other when required.
  • reference marks 25, 26, 25a, 25b indicate the container spreaders' 16, 16a, 16b hoisting shanks, with which the containers are gripped at the upper corners of the containers.
  • the container spreaders 16, 16a, 16b themselves are longitudinally controlled in such a way that they can be used for handling at least the 20' - 45' containers in use today. Containers located in parallel need not even be of equal length, but the straddle carrier 10 can be used for parallel handling of even 20' and 45' containers at the same time.
  • container spreaders 16, 16a, 16b it is also possible to use so-called twin-spreaders, which are equipped with middle shanks in addition to the hoisting shanks located at the ends. With one such twin-spreader it is possible at the same time to lift and move two 20' containers located one behind the other, whereby the straddle carrier 10 according to the invention when equipped with such container spreaders is able to handle four 20' containers in one go.
