Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Flurförderzeug mit einer Datenerfassungsvorrichtung. Insbesondere betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Flurförderzeug mit einer Datenerfassungsvorrichtung, wobei die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung Betriebsdaten des Flurförderzeugs erfassen kann und das Flurförderzeug eine Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung aufweist.The invention relates to an industrial truck with a data acquisition device. In particular, the present invention relates to an industrial truck with a data acquisition device, wherein the data acquisition device can detect operating data of the industrial truck and the truck has a load handling device.

Vor allem bei Flurförderzeugen, die in einer größeren Anzahl in einem Unternehmen eingesetzt werden, ist es erwünscht, den tatsächlichen Grad der Beanspruchung des einzelnen Flurförderzeugs zu erfassen, um davon abhängig die Wartung des Flurförderzeugs durchzuführen und um auf dieser Basis auch die maximale Betriebsdauer für ein Flurförderzeug bis zu dessen Ersatz oder Neubeschaffung zu bestimmen. Daneben ist es auch erwünscht, die Leistungsdaten der einzelnen Flurförderzeuge zu erfassen, um in einem Überwachungs- und Steuerungssystem für ein Warenlager sowie einer Flotte aus Flurförderzeugen den Einsatz der Flurförderzeuge optimieren zu können. Schließlich ermöglicht die Erfassung von Leistungs- und Betriebsdaten es auch, übermäßige Beanspruchungen bis hin zu unsachgemäßem Gebrauch der Flurförderzeuge und Unfälle genauer zu erfassen. Dabei können als Flurförderzeug Gegengewichtsgabelstapler, Schubmaststapler, Regalbediengeräte und Gabelhubwagen zum Einsatz kommen, die batterie- oder verbrennungsmotorisch betrieben sind.Especially for industrial trucks, which are used in a larger number in a company, it is desirable to detect the actual degree of stress on the truck, in order to perform dependent on the maintenance of the truck and on this basis, the maximum operating time for a To determine the truck until replacement or new purchase. In addition, it is also desirable to record the performance of the individual trucks in order to optimize the use of industrial trucks in a monitoring and control system for a warehouse and a fleet of industrial trucks. Finally, the collection of performance and operating data also makes it possible to more accurately record excessive loads, including improper use of the trucks and accidents. Counterbalanced forklifts, reach trucks, stacker cranes and pallet trucks can be used as forklift trucks, which are powered by batteries or internal combustion engines.

Bekannt ist hierzu, in ein Steuerungssystem eines Flurförderzeugs, das einen Steuerungscomputer aufweist, eine entsprechende Erfassung von Betriebsdaten zu integrieren. Dabei werden etwa die Betriebsstunden, die Anzahl der Betätigungen von Arbeitshydrauliken, insbesondere einer Hubvorrichtung für Lasthandhabungsmittel an einem Hubgerüst, Fahrbefehle für die Bewegung des Flurförderzeugs sowie gegebenenfalls auch Hubhöhen erfasst. Diese Daten können dann ausgelesen werden, wenn das Flurförderzeug zu Wartungszwecken mit einem Auswertecomputer verbunden wird. Alternativ können die Daten auch drahtlos übertragen werden. Bekannt ist nach dem Stand der Technik auch, Sensoren für die Ortsbestimmung in dem Flurförderzeug vorzusehen, so dass Positionsdaten für das Flurförderzeug erfasst werden.It is known for this purpose, in a control system of a truck, which has a control computer to integrate a corresponding detection of operating data. In this case, the operating hours, the number of actuations of working hydraulics, in particular a lifting device for load handling means on a mast, driving commands for the movement of the truck and possibly also lifting heights are detected. These data can then be read when the truck is connected to an evaluation computer for maintenance purposes. Alternatively, the data can also be transmitted wirelessly. Also known according to the prior art, sensors for the location in provide the truck, so that position data for the truck are detected.

Nachteilig an diesem Stand der Technik ist, dass die Flurförderzeuge speziell dafür eingerichtet sein müssen. Wurde dies beim Kauf des Flurförderzeugs nicht berücksichtigt oder handelt es sich um ältere Fahrzeuge, so ist eine Nachrüstung oft nicht möglich, oder erfordert unverhältnismäßigen Aufwand. Auch verursacht die gegebenenfalls vorhandene drahtlose Übertragung der Daten zusätzlichen Aufwand für die Sende- und Empfangseinrichtungen.A disadvantage of this prior art is that the trucks must be specially set up for this purpose. If this was not taken into account when purchasing the truck or is older vehicles, retrofitting is often not possible or requires disproportionate effort. The optionally existing wireless transmission of the data also causes additional expense for the transmitting and receiving devices.

Nachteilig an diesem bekannten Stand der Technik ist auch, dass Flurförderzeuge verschiedener Hersteller nur schwer oder überhaupt nicht in ein Gesamtsystem der Erfassung von Betriebsdaten integriert werden können, da Daten nicht zur Verfügung stehen, Datenformate nicht kompatibel sind oder Daten nicht ausgelesen werden können.A disadvantage of this known prior art is that forklifts of different manufacturers can be difficult or impossible to integrate into an overall system of acquisition of operating data, since data is not available, data formats are not compatible or data can not be read out.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Betriebs- und Fahrzeugdaten für beliebige Flurförderzeuge zu erfassen und einem Informationserfassungssystem zur Verfügung zu stellen, ohne dass ein mechanischer oder elektronischer Eingriff in die Systeme des Flurförderzeugs erforderlich ist.The present invention has for its object to record operating and vehicle data for any trucks and to provide an information detection system available without a mechanical or electronic intervention in the systems of the truck is required.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Flurförderzeug mit Datenerfassungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie eine entsprechende Datenerfassungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 18 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen werden in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by an industrial truck with data acquisition device having the features of claim 1 and a corresponding data acquisition device according to claim 18. Advantageous developments are specified in the subclaims.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Flurförderzeug mit Datenerfassungsvorrichtung gelöst, wobei die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung Betriebsdaten des Flurförderzeugs erfassen kann und das Flurförderzeug eine Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung aufweist. Vorteilhaft ist die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung mit lösbaren Befestigungsmitteln an der Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung befestigt.The object is achieved by an industrial truck with data acquisition device, wherein the data acquisition device can detect operating data of the truck and the truck has a load handling device. Advantageously, the data acquisition device is attached to the load handling device with releasable attachment means.

Dadurch ist vorteilhaft kein Zugang zu den Steuerungssystemen des Flurförderzeugs nötig und es können Flurförderzeuge beliebiger Hersteller in ein Überwachungssystem für eine Flotte aus Flurförderzeugen integriert werden. Insbesondere ist keine Kenntnis der herstellerspezifischen Datenformate oder Standards eines etwaigen Datenbusses des Flurförderzeugs erforderlich. Die erfindungsgemäße Datenerfassungsvorrichtung kann aus den Bewegungen und deren Zeitdauer, wie auch den Geschwindigkeiten und Beschleunigungen der Datenerfassungsvorrichtungen selbst Daten gewinnen, die eine Bewertung der Beanspruchung und der Belastung sowie des Leistungsprofils des Flurförderzeugs ermöglichen, an dem die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung angebracht ist. Es ist damit auch mögliche übermäßige Beanspruchung oder einen unsachgemäßen Einsatz des Flurförderzeugs bis hin zu Unfallereignissen zu erfassen, wenn z.B. Beschleunigungswerte erkannt werden, die im Normalbetrieb nicht möglich sind. Es ist dabei keinerlei mechanischer oder elektrischer Eingriff in das Flurförderzeug erforderlich.This advantageously no access to the control systems of the truck is necessary and it can be integrated forklifts of any manufacturer in a monitoring system for a fleet of industrial trucks. In particular, no knowledge the manufacturer-specific data formats or standards of any data bus of the truck required. The data acquisition device according to the invention can obtain from the movements and their duration, as well as the speeds and accelerations of the data acquisition devices themselves data that allow an assessment of the stress and the load and the power profile of the truck to which the data acquisition device is attached. It is therefore also possible to detect possible excessive use or improper use of the truck up to accident events, eg when acceleration values are detected which are not possible during normal operation. There is no mechanical or electrical intervention in the truck required.

In vorteilhafter Ausführungsform ist die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung an unmittelbar mit der Last in Kontakt tretenden Bauelementen der Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung befestigt.In an advantageous embodiment, the data acquisition device is fastened to components of the load handling device which directly contact the load.

Dies ermöglicht eine optimale Erfassung der Belastungen des Flurförderzeugs. Durch die Erfassung der Bewegungen der unmittelbar mit der Last in Kontakt tretenden Bauelemente, wie etwa einem Gabelträger oder einer an dem Gabelträger angeordneten Lastgabel oder für spezielle Produkte ausgebildeter Greifelemente, wie etwa eines Greifers für Papierrollen, kann sehr weitgehend die Belastung des Flurförderzeugs durch den Einsatz des Flurförderzeugs erfasst werden. Durch eine schwere Last werden die Beschleunigungswerte und auch die Bewegungsgeschwindigkeiten geringer und durch diese Verringerung können die größeren Belastungen des Flurförderzeugs erfasst werden, ohne dass Sensordaten des Flurförderzeugs herangezogen werden, wie etwa eines Lastsensors. Abhängig von diesen Daten können dann z.B. in einem so genannten Flottenmanagementsystem optimale Zeitpunkte für Wartungsarbeiten oder Ersatz eines Flurförderzeugs bestimmt werden. Gegebenenfalls ist für die Erfassung von Belastungen des Flurförderzeugs eine Eichung erforderlich, bei der die verringerten Werte der Bewegungsgeschwindigkeiten mit einer bekannten Testlast zuvor erfasst werden.This allows an optimal detection of the loads of the truck. By detecting the movements of the immediately coming into contact with the load components, such as a fork carriage or disposed on the fork carriage fork or trained for special products gripping elements, such as a gripper for paper rolls, can very largely the burden of the truck through the use of the truck. As a result of a heavy load, the acceleration values and also the speeds of movement become lower and by this reduction the larger loads of the industrial truck can be detected without using sensor data of the industrial truck, such as a load sensor. Depending on this data, then e.g. In a so-called fleet management system optimal times for maintenance or replacement of a truck are determined. If necessary, a calibration is required for the detection of loads of the truck, in which the reduced values of the movement speeds are recorded beforehand with a known test load.

Vorteilhaft ist die Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung eine an einem Gabelträger angeordnete Lastgabel und die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung ist an der Gabelrückseite oder dem Gabelträger angeordnet.Advantageously, the load handling device is arranged on a fork carriage load fork and the data acquisition device is at the fork back or the Fork carrier arranged.

Bei einem Gabelstapler, sowohl in Form eines Gegengewichtsgabelstapler wie auch eines Schubmaststaplers, können durch die Bewegungen des Gabelträgers und der daran angeordneten Lastgabel alle Bewegungen der Last und somit der Einsatzumfang und die Belastungen des Flurförderzeugs erfasst werden.In a forklift, both in the form of a counterbalanced forklift and a reach truck, the movements of the fork carriage and the load fork arranged thereon, all movements of the load and thus the scope of application and the loads of the truck can be detected.

In vorteilhafter Ausführungsform weist die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung als Befestigungsmittel einen Magneten auf.In an advantageous embodiment, the data acquisition device has a magnet as attachment means.

Dadurch kann die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung in sehr einfacher Weise an der zumeist aus Stahl hergestellten Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung angebracht werden, ohne dass aufwendig Anpassungen, wie etwa ein Gewinde, erforderlich sind. Ein Magnet kann durch einfaches Aufsetzen angebracht werden und leicht wieder entfernt werden. Insbesondere kann eine beschädigungsfreie Anbringung ohne Veränderungen an dem Flurförderzeug erfolgen und es ist eine Anbringung an Flurförderzeugen beliebiger Hersteller mit geringstem Aufwand möglich. Überdies ist die Haltekraft eines Magneten für die relativ kleine und leichte Datenerfassungsvorrichtung ausreichend.As a result, the data acquisition device can be attached in a very simple manner to the load-handling device, which is usually made of steel, without the need for complicated adjustments, such as a thread. A magnet can be attached by simply putting it on and easily removed. In particular, a damage-free attachment without changes to the truck and it is an attachment to trucks of any manufacturer with minimal effort possible. Moreover, the holding force of a magnet is sufficient for the relatively small and lightweight data acquisition device.

Die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung kann als Befestigungsmittel alternativ oder zusätzlich eine Klebefläche, eine Klettverbindung oder eine Clipverbindung aufweisen.The data acquisition device may alternatively or additionally comprise an adhesive surface, a Velcro connection or a clip connection as a fastening means.

In günstiger Ausführungsform kann die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung Bewegungssensoren aufweisen, insbesondere lineare Beschleunigungssensoren sowie Rotationsbewegungs- und/oder Rotationsbeschleunigungssensoren, unter diesen insbesondere Kreiselsysteme oder Gyroskope, wobei die Bewegungssensoren sechs Dimensionen oder Achsen erfassen.In a favorable embodiment, the data acquisition device may comprise motion sensors, in particular linear acceleration sensors as well as rotational motion and / or rotational acceleration sensors, among which in particular gyroscopes or gyroscopes, wherein the motion sensors detect six dimensions or axes.

Durch Kreiselsysteme kann eine absolute Ausrichtung im Raum bestimmt werden und somit können Neigungen oder Drehungen der Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung erkannt werden, wir etwa eine Neigung einer Lastgabel, wenn der Mast geneigt wird. Durch das Erfassen von linearen Beschleunigungen in drei Dimensionen und von Rotationsbeschleunigungen um drei Achsen und somit insgesamt sechs Dimensionen können alle Bewegungen der Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung erfasst werden. Dadurch können Daten wie Betriebszeit oder Fahrzeit, Hubhöhe oder Fahrstrecken berechnet und bestimmt werden.By gyro systems, an absolute orientation in space can be determined and thus inclinations or rotations of the load handling device can be detected, such as an inclination of a load fork when the mast is tilted. By detecting linear accelerations in three dimensions and rotational accelerations about three axes and thus a total of six dimensions, all movements of the load handling device can be detected. Thereby Data such as operating time or travel time, lifting height or driving distances can be calculated and determined.

Vorteilhaft kann die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung eine Satelliten-Positionsermittlung, insbesondere GPS-Positionsermittlung, aufweisen.The data acquisition device can advantageously have a satellite position determination, in particular GPS position determination.

Mit einer GPS-Positionsermittlung kann bis auf ca. einen halben Meter genau die Position, aber auch eine Hubhöhe bestimmt werden. Dies ermöglicht somit ebenfalls die Bestimmung von Daten wie Betriebszeit oder Fahrzeit, Hubhöhe oder Fahrstrecken und die Erfassung und Bestimmung eines Leistungsprofils und/oder eines Fahrstreckenprofils des Flurförderzeugs.With a GPS position determination can be determined up to about half a meter exactly the position, but also a lifting height. This thus also allows the determination of data such as operating time or travel time, lifting height or routes and the detection and determination of a power profile and / or a route profile of the truck.

Die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung kann einen Datenspeicher aufweisen.The data acquisition device may comprise a data memory.

Dadurch können die erfassten Daten gesammelt werden und dann ausgelesen werden.This allows the collected data to be collected and then read out.

In günstiger Ausführungsform ist die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung eine Sendeeinrichtung zur Übertragung der Betriebsdaten.In a favorable embodiment, the data acquisition device is a transmitting device for transmitting the operating data.

Die Sendeeinrichtung kann ein Bluetooth und/oder WLAN und/oder Zigbee Sender/Empfänger sein.The transmitting device can be a Bluetooth and / or WLAN and / or Zigbee transmitter / receiver.

Es ist ebenfalls möglich, die Betriebsdaten über eine Speicherkarte aus der Datenerfassungsvorrichtung auszulesen.It is also possible to read out the operating data via a memory card from the data acquisition device.

Die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung kann eine durch die Bewegung angetriebene Stromerzeugungsvorrichtung aufweisen.The data acquisition device may include a motion-powered power generation device.

Dies vermeidet ebenfalls jeglichen Eingriff in das Flurförderzeug, da die Energie rein aus der Bewegung der Datenerfassungsvorrichtung genommen wird. Hierzu kann eine z.B. drehbar gelagerte träge Masse eingesetzt werden, die bei Bewegungen einen Dynamo treibt. Alternativ ist auch eine linear z.B. an Federn gelagerte träge Masse möglich.This also avoids any intervention in the truck, since the energy is taken purely from the movement of the data acquisition device. For this purpose, an example rotatably mounted inertial mass can be used, which drives a dynamo during movements. Alternatively, a linear inertial mass, for example, mounted on springs is possible.

Alternativ kann die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung einen Akku und/oder Kondensatorspeicher, insbesondere Doppelschichtkondensator, aufweisen.Alternatively, the data acquisition device may comprise a battery and / or capacitor storage, in particular a double-layer capacitor.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung in einer festgelegten Position der Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung über Kontakte oder eine drahtlose Verbindung mit Strom versorgt werden.In a preferred embodiment, the data acquisition device may be powered in a fixed position of the load handling device via contacts or a wireless connection.

Das Flurförderzeug kann ein Gabelstapler sein und die festgelegte Position eine abgesenkte Stellung der Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung, insbesondere einer Lastgabel, sein.The truck may be a forklift and the fixed position may be a lowered position of the load handling device, in particular a load fork.

In dieser Position kann durch elektrische Kontakte oder eine kontaktlose Einspeisung per Induktionsspule der Akku bzw. ein Kondensator aufgeladen werden und die Energieversorgung der Datenerfassungsvorrichtung sicher gestellt werden. Vor allem ist keine bewegliche und längsveränderliche Kabelführung z.B. an einem Hubmast erforderlich, die zu der Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung führt.In this position, the battery or a capacitor can be charged by electrical contacts or a contactless feed by induction coil and the power supply of the data acquisition device can be ensured. Above all, there is no movable and lengthways cable guide, e.g. required on a mast leading to the load handling device.

Die Aufgabe wird auch durch eine Datenerfassungseinrichtung gelöst, die bei einem Flurförderzeug wie zuvor geschildert eingesetzt wird.The object is also achieved by a data acquisition device which is used in an industrial truck as described above.

Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden anhand des in der Figur dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Hierbei zeigt die
Figur ein erfindungsgemäßes Flurförderzeug mit Datenerfassungsvorrichtung.Further advantages and details of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown in the figure. This shows the
Figure an inventive truck with data acquisition device.

Die Figur zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Flurförderzeug 1, das als Gabelstapler 2 ausgebildet ist, mit einer Datenerfassungseinrichtung 3. Die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung ist an der Rückseite einer Lastgabel 4 als Lasthandhabungsvorrichtung 16 mit einem nicht dargestellten Magnetelement gehalten. Auf einer Palette 5 liegt eine Last 6 auf der Lastgabel 4 auf. Die Lastgabel 4 ist an einem Hubmast 7 mittels eines als Hubschlitten ausgebildeten Gabelträgers geführt und mit dem Hubmast 7 neigbar und kann an dem Hubmast 7 angehoben und abgesenkt werden, wie durch die Pfeile angedeutet. Der Gabelstapler weist einen Fahrerarbeitsplatz 8 mit Fahrersitz 9 und Lenkrad 10 auf, über denen ein Fahrerschutzdach 11 angeordnet ist. Unter dem Fahrersitz 9 ist eine Batterie oder ein Verbrennungsmotor 12 für die Antriebsenergie des Gabelstaplers 2 angeordnet und hinter dem Fahrersitz 9 befindet sich ein Gegengewicht 13. Die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung 3 weist eine Antenne 14 auf.The figure shows an inventive truck 1, which is designed as a forklift 2, with a data acquisition device 3. The data acquisition device is held on the back of a fork 4 as a load handling device 16 with a magnetic element, not shown. On a pallet 5 is a load 6 on the fork 4 on. The fork 4 is guided on a mast 7 by means of a lifting carriage designed as a carriage and tilted with the mast 7 and can be raised and lowered on the mast 7, as indicated by the arrows. The forklift has a driver's workplace 8 with driver's seat 9 and steering wheel 10, over which a driver's safety roof 11 is arranged. Under the driver's seat 9 is a battery or a Internal combustion engine 12 arranged for the drive power of the forklift 2 and behind the driver's seat 9 is a counterweight 13. The data acquisition device 3 has an antenna 14.

Durch Beschleunigungssensoren erfasst die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung 3 Bewegungen, wie sie durch die Pfeile angedeutet sind. Dabei werden Betriebsdaten wie Hub-, Neigebewegungen der Lastgabel 4 an dem Hubmast 7 und Fahrbewegungen des Gabelstaplers 2 erkannt. Wenn solche Bewegungen auftreten, kann darauf geschlossen werden, dass der Gabelstapler in Betrieb ist und es kann dadurch eine Betriebszeit des Gabelstaplers 2 erfasst werden. Die erfassten Betriebsdaten werden in einem Speicher der Datenerfassungsvorrichtung 3 gespeichert und können per Antenne 14 drahtlos abgerufen werden. Dabei kann ein Bluetooth-, WLAN- oder Zigbee-Standard zum Einsatz kommen. Wenn die Lastgabel 4 in der tiefsten Position an dem Hubmast 7 ist, befindet sich die Datenerfassungsvorrichtung 3 vor einer Induktionsspule 15 und ein Akku der Datenerfassungsvorrichtung 3, der zur Energieversorgung dient, kann drahtlos aufgeladen werden.Through acceleration sensors, the data acquisition device 3 detects movements as indicated by the arrows. In this case, operating data such as lifting, tilting movements of the fork 4 are detected on the mast 7 and driving movements of the forklift 2. When such movements occur, it can be concluded that the forklift is operating and thereby an operating time of the forklift 2 can be detected. The acquired operating data is stored in a memory of the data acquisition device 3 and can be retrieved wirelessly via antenna 14. A Bluetooth, WLAN or Zigbee standard can be used. When the load fork 4 is in the lowest position on the mast 7, the data acquisition device 3 is located in front of an induction coil 15 and a battery of the data acquisition device 3, which is used for power supply, can be charged wirelessly.

Durch das erfindungsgemäßes Flurförderzeug 1 mit der Datenerfassungseinrichtung 3 ist es möglich, Betriebsdaten für ein Flottenmanagement zu erfassen, ohne mechanisch in den Gabelstapler 2 eingreifen zu müssen und ohne dass ein Eingriff in die Steuerungselektronik des Gabelstaplers 2 erforderlich ist. Die Datenerfassungseinrichtung 3 kann mit Flurförderzeugen beliebiger Hersteller kombiniert werden.
