Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for handling bundles of profiles such as, for example, beams, I-beams, pipes and generally anything else that can be lifted by means of straps, cables, rings, chains, slings, hooks or the like.
  • the apparatuses normally used for handling profiles made of metal are substantially constituted by bridge crane structures which support, along the longitudinal extension of the bridge, two or more engagement apparatuses provided with anchoring means for a bundle of profiles or for the individual profile.
  • electromagnets are normally used which are arranged so as to be mutually spaced along the longitudinal extension of the centrally pivoted lifting beam kinematically connected thereto and have a transverse dimension that is similar to the one of the bridge or of the beam.
  • the anchoring means used instead for moving the bundles of profiles are usually of two types: large magnetic lifters or hooks with retention noose or chain.
  • the bundles to be handled with magnetic lifters must anyway be wrapped beforehand by means of collars that must be sized so as to be capable of bearing the weight of the whole bundle.
  • the use of the hook entails that a person performs, on a respective stack, the operations for engagement and disengagement, with an obvious waste of time and a reduction in safety conditions.
  • a lifting and transpotting system for concrete slabs by way of an automatic hooking arrangement is disclosed in document DE-20516996 U1 .
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate, or at least reduce drastically, the drawbacks cited above in known type of handling device and in general to eliminate all manual activities connected to the use of a traditional hook.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a device for handling, particularly but not exclusively, bundles of profiles that allows to use, on the same bridge or on the same centrally pivoted lifting beam, also the electromagnets designed to handle single profiles.
  • Another object of the present invention is to allow, in a reduced time and with a limited number of operations, the handling of the bundles of profiles, or anything else that can be lifted by means of straps, cables, rings, chains coupled to hooks, eliminating in practice the need for intervention on the part of workers.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for handling bundles of profiles that has a competitive production cost, so that its use is advantageous also from the economic standpoint.
  • a device for handling particularly but non exclusively, bundles of profiles, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a supporting frame 2 which supports grip means 3 that can engage at least one body 5 to be moved.
  • the body 5 to be moved may be constituted by a bundle of profiles 5a; nothing forbids, of course, to use the handling device 1 to move beams, I-beams, pipes and, more generally, anything else that can be lifted by means of straps, cables, rings, chains, slings, hooks or similar elements.
  • the grip means 3 can be moved, advantageously on command, with respect to the supporting frame 2 along at least one movement direction.
  • the grip means 3 comprise at least one lifting body 4.
  • the handling device 1 has, advantageously, at least two lifting bodies 4, which are mutually spaced along the direction 100 of extension of the bundle of profiles 5a to be moved.
  • Each lifting body 4 has an anchoring element 6 that is adapted to pass, on command, between an engagement condition (shown in broken lines in Figures 1 and 2 ), in which it forms an access seat 7 for a respective lifting element supported by the body 5 to be moved, constituted for example by an engagement portion 8 of a respective collar 9 fitted around the bundle of profiles 5a, and an active condition, in which the engagement portion 8 is accommodated stably at an engagement region 6c formed by the anchoring element 6 in the active condition.
  • an engagement condition shown in broken lines in Figures 1 and 2
  • the anchoring element 6 comprises at least one first body 6a and at least one second body 6b, which can move on command with respect to each other in order to pass between a first position, which corresponds to the engagement condition of the anchoring element 6, in which between the first body 6a and the second body 6b there is the access seat 7, and a second position, which corresponds to such active condition of the engagement element 6, in which respective abutment portions 11, 10 of the first body 6a and of the second body 6b cooperate in order to provide a closed loop 12 that forms the engagement region 6c.
  • the supporting frame 2 is constituted by a bridge crane structure 13, which can be moved on command with respect to a stack of bundles 5a to be moved or more generally with respect to the bodies 5 to be moved.
  • the supporting frame 2 can also be constituted by a movable arm or by a crane structure that supports the lifting body or bodies 4.
  • the bridge crane structure 13 supports at least one beam 14, which in turn supports the grip means 3.
  • the lifting bodies 4 with hooks 20 (as shown in the embodiment shown in Figure 8 ) which are normally used supported by the beam 14 and usually used to lift by means of chains or cables the bodies 5 to be moved.
  • the lifting body 4 according to the invention may be used as an optional device of traditional handling devices.
  • the lifting body 4 is mounted, as under-hook equipment, in a mobile solution.
  • This solution shows that the invention can always replace a classic hook slinging system, regardless of the load to be lifted (and thus regardless of its first practical application in the steel-working field).
  • the beam 14 can be moved, on command, with respect to the bridge crane structure 13 along at least one substantially vertical direction (shown by the arrow 101).
  • the beam 14, or in any case in general the grip means 3, can also be moved along a direction that is substantially parallel to the direction of longitudinal extension 100 of the bundles of profiles 5a to be moved.
  • the anchoring elements 6 are provided with actuation means 15, which can be controlled remotely and are designed to move at least the second body 6b with respect to the first body 6a, in order to move the respective anchoring element 6 from the engagement condition to the active condition and vice versa.
  • the actuation means 15 can be constituted by a motor 15a whose own output shaft is kinematically connected, for example by means of a worm screw, to a linear actuator designed to move the second body 6b along a respective handling direction.
  • actuation means can be powered directly by the electric mains or by batteries carried directly by the lifting body 4.
  • the engagement element may be advantageously associated with image acquisition means (usually a video camera), which are adapted to view remotely the access seat 7 during the steps of relative movement between the engagement element 6 and the collar 9.
  • image acquisition means usually a video camera
  • the device 1 can be provided with devices for recognizing the mutual position of the engagement element 6 and of the collar 9, constituted, for example, by respective transponders.
  • the first body 6a comprises at least one fixed lateral shoulder and the second body 6b comprises an L-shaped body.
  • the L-shaped body can be moved by the actuation means 15 toward/ away from the fixed lateral shoulder in order to form, in cooperation with it, respectively the engagement region 6c and the access seat 7.
  • the first body 6a may, as an alternative, be constituted by an inverted U-shaped body; in this case the second L-shaped body 6b can be moved between a first position, in which is arranged externally to the inverted U-shaped body in order to form the access seat 7, and a second position, in which it cooperates with one of the vertical elements that constitute the inverted U-shaped body in order to form the engagement region 6c and, in particular, the closed loop 12.
  • the inverted U-shaped body extends downward more than the second L-shaped body 6b: in this manner it is possible to rest the two lower regions of the inverted U-shaped body on the body to be moved in order to arrange the lifting element through the access seat 7.
  • electromagnets 16 designed to lift single profiles.
  • the electromagnets 16 can be arranged along the beam 14 so as to be alternated with the grip means 3.
  • This particular arrangement allows to move, in a completely automated manner, the single profiles (with the electromagnets 16) or the bundles of profiles by way of the actuation of the grip means 3.
  • the operator controls the movement of the beam 14 in order to move a first engagement element 6 proximate to one of the collars 9 fitted around the bundle of profiles 5a to be moved.
  • the engagement element 6 is in the engagement condition so as to form the access seat 7; the operator, with the optional aid of the video camera, moves the engagement element 6 with respect to the collar 9 so as to pass the engagement portion 8 of the collar 9 through the access seat.
  • the actuation means 15 acts on the actuation means 15 in order to pass the engagement element 6 into the active condition, so that the engagement portion 8 of the collar 9 is accommodated stably in the engagement region 6c and in particular inside the closed loop 12.
  • the operator acts, in the same manner, on the other engagement element 6 and therefore moves the beam in a vertical direction in order to lift the bundle of profiles 5a and the bridge crane to reach the destination region of the bundle.
  • the space occupations of the lifting bodies 4 are extremely reduced and also because of this it is possible to alternate with the lifting bodies 4 traditional electromagnets 16, to be used optionally to move the individual profiles.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
