Description

DESCRIPTION
'PARTS HANDLING DEVICE'
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is used in the metal construction field and relates to a parts handling device, particularly used for lifting and rotating up to 360° longitudinal parts such as profiles with different sections .
The parts handling device allows for the execution of metal and mechanical construction works using long profiled parts, without overhead cranes help, in a safe and ergonomic manner to the operator.
BACKGROUND ART OF THE INVENTION
Parts handling devices for longitudinal parts are known from prior art. For instance, reference must be made to the devices disclosed in Patent Applications DE 102004031206 and DE 19962203.
DE 102004031206 Patent Application refers to a device comprising a chain and two retaining arms carrying a load. Rolls are arranged at the retaining arms for deviating the chain, where the distance between the rolls is adjustable with each other. The device described in this invention also comprises further rolls also provided for deviating the chain, said rolls being located at opposite ends of the retaining arms. The retaining arms are rotatably designed at a rotating axis.
DE 19962203 Patent Application refers to a load rotating device having a rolling section provided with a belt, a chain, or a cable which is passed around at least one roller and used for supporting the load. Said rolling section is secured to one end of a lever arm, coupled to a support arm at the other end, said support arm being mounted on a base for supporting the load rotating device on the ground.
The above or other prior art related documents refers to devices for longitudinal parts handling which do not involve the characteristics described in the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a parts handling device, particularly for longitudinal parts elevation and rotation up to 360°.
The parts handling device comprises at least one tower, the main tower, and a secondary tower used as satellite tower relative to the main tower. The main tower controls the elevation and rotation of the part to be handled in the parts handling device. The parts handling device is used in the metal construction field, for assistance in welded construction, mould assembling and all kind of longitudinal parts handling, allowing for the execution of metal and mechanical construction works using long profiled parts, without overhead cranes help.
The parts handling device is characterized by the elevation and rotation up to 360° of the parts to be handled, thus providing access to any section of the parts without forcing the operator to assume wrong or unsafe working positions.
Being safe to the operator, the parts handling device permits the parts to be handled to take various positions, due to the articulated loading arm and a completely open front access, allowing for a quick and safe loading and unloading of the parts to be handled.
Several components are common to both towers, such as a hydraulically adjustable telescopic column with a maximum travel of 800 mm, which may be changed as needed and as a function of the size of the parts to be handled; a height adjustable trestle for supporting the parts, thus achieving an optimal working position which meets the so desired ergonomic principles in workplaces for fitness of the work to the worker; a fixed loading arm at the upper part of the telescopic column; and a pulley coupled to the fixed loading arm where a belt runs giving support and rotating the part to be handled.
The above mentioned hydraulic device comprises a load limitation system that prevents any movement if the part to be handled has a higher weight than the lifting force for which the parts handling device is designed.
The rotation of the parts to be handled is executed through belts suspended from the pulleys, which are coupled to the respective fixed arms of the main tower and satellite tower.
The pulley located at the main tower is connected to a gear-motor allowing for different pulley rotation speeds, the same happening with the belt supporting the part to be handled. Thus, because of the use of belts that are adequately designed, instead of chains which impart a discontinuous and jerky rotation, by rotating the part hanging from these belts smooth movement is achieved.
In the satellite tower, the pulley runs freely- actuated by the belt, and together with the other pulley located in the main tower which is coupled to the gear- motor that drives the belt and hence rotates the part to be handled.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention refers to a parts handling device, particularly used in lifting and rotation of longitudinal parts such as metallic profiles with different sections .
As depicted in Figure 1, the device comprises at least one tower, the main tower (1) , and a satellite tower (2) linked by a hydraulic device sleeve (not shown in the Figures), presenting each tower a support base (4, 13).
The main tower (1) and the satellite tower (2) have several identical components, such as a telescopic column (5, 14), a trestle (6, 15) and a fixed loading arm (9, 16), a pulley (7, 17) where a belt (8, 18) runs giving support and rotating the part to be handled.
One function of the main tower (1) is controlling the elevation and rotation of the part to be handled in the parts handling device, including elevation of the telescopic column (5) and of the telescopic column (14) of the satellite tower (2), and rotation of the belt (8) and of the belt (18) of the satellite tower (2), the latter being moved by the action of the part itself, so as to move the part to be handled in a synchronized way. As shown in Figure 1, the height of the telescopic columns (5, 14) can be adjusted through a hydraulic device (12) having a variable course, which can be changed as needed and depending on the size of the parts to be handled, and having a load limitation system that prevents any movement if the part to be handled has a higher weight than the lifting force for which the towers (1, 2) are designed.
The height of the trestle (6) and of the trestle
(15), shown in Figures 2 and 4 and in Figure 3 respectively, is manually adjustable giving support to the part to be handled.
In Figures 2 and 4 respectively the fixed loading arm (9) in the upper part of the telescopic column (5) and the fixed loading arm (16) in the upper part of the telescopic column (14) can be seen.
A pulley (7, 17) is coupled to the fixed loading arm (9, 16), where a belt (8, 18) runs giving support and rotating the part to be handled, as shown in Figure 1.
Beyond the above described common components of the two towers (1, 2), and as can be seen in Figures 2 and 4, the main tower (1) also includes a gear-motor (10) with a speed variator allowing for multiple rotation speeds of the pulley (7); a hydraulic device (12) for moving the telescopic column (5) and the telescopic column (14); an articulated loading arm (3) located at the upper part of the telescopic column (5) which performs a 270° rotation horizontally around the telescopic column (5), on which an electric winch (11) is coupled and can be manually moved along the loading arm (3) to help the positioning of the parts to be welded at the top and/or the sides of the handled part.
The articulated loading arm (3) , represented in Figures 2 and 4, performs a 270° rotation horizontally around the telescopic column (5), on which an electric winch (11) is coupled and can be manually moved along the loading arm (3) to help the positioning of the parts to be welded at the top and/or the sides of the handled part.
The satellite tower (2) (Figure 1) includes a pulley (17) which runs freely actuated by the belt (18), and together with the other pulley (7), the latter being coupled to a gear-motor (10) that drives the belt (8) and hence rotates the part to be handled.
Total stability and control in each one of the towers (1, 2) is achieved by lifting the part to be handled in a strictly horizontal manner and by load control during this movement, since during the elevation the part to be handled always keeps the same distance from the main tower (1) and satellite tower (2), thus avoiding any collisions with either of them. When working with small parts to be handled, the tower (1) in the device described in this invention can move the parts to be handled autonomously and independently from the satellite tower (2), through inactivation of the hydraulic device sleeve (not shown in the Figures) .
