Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transportvorrichtung gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a transport device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Solche Transportvorrichtungen werden unter anderem für den Transport von Zulieferteilen der Automobilindustrie verwendet. Sie weisen eine Anzahl von Stapelbehältern aus geschäumtem Kunststoff auf, die jeweils nach oben zum Be- und Entladen offen sind. Die Stapelbehälter weisen meist einen Behälterinnenraum auf, der nach unten durch einen Behälterboden und seitlich durch Behälterwände umschlossen ist. Sie werden auf einem Bodenteil übereinander gestapelt, wobei der unterste Stapelbehälter auf dem Bodenteil aufliegt und die weiteren Stapelbehälter jeweils auf dem nächst unteren Stapelbehälter aufgesetzt sind und diesen nach oben verschließen. Der oberste Stapelbehälter wird durch einen Deckel abgedeckt, der ihn nach oben verschließt. Das Bodenteil ist in der Regel mit einem im wesentlichen rechteckigen Grundriss ausgebildet und weist nahe seiner vier Ecken jeweils einen Stützfuß mit einer unterseitigen Aufstellfläche zum Aufstellen auf einen Boden auf. Der Deckel ist so ausgebildet, dass auf ihn ein baugleiches weiteres Bodenteil einer anderen Transportvorrichtung aufgestellt werden kann, und weist zu diesem Zweck vier oberseitige Aufstellflächen auf, welche nahe seiner vier Ecken in einem gegenseitigen Abstand angeordnet sind, der dem gegenseitigen Abstand der unterseitigen Aufstellflächen entspricht. Auf diese Weise können mehrere Transportvorrichtungen aufeinander gestapelt werden. Dabei haben die aus Schaumstoff ausgebildeten Stapelbehälter den Vorteil, dass sie leicht und robust sind und die aufgenommenen Gegenstände bei Erschütterungen schützen. Der Schaumstoff weist eine weiche Oberfläche auf, die aufgenommene Gegenstände nicht beschädigt, wenn diese z. B. beim Transport Erschütterungen ausgesetzt sind. Dabei besteht aber der Nachteil, dass dann, wenn mehrere solcher Transportvorrichtungen übereinander gestapelt werden, insbesondere wenn eine mit schweren Gegenständen beladene Transportvorrichtung auf eine andere Transportvorrichtung aufgesetzt wird, vor allem auf den untersten Stapelbehältern ein hohes Gewicht lastet, das vollständig durch den Schaumstoff aufgenommen werden muss. Diese Belastung kann zu irreversiblen Deformierungen des Schaumstoffs führen.Such transport devices are used inter alia for the transport of parts of the automotive industry. They have a number of stacked containers made of foamed plastic, which are open at the top for loading and unloading. The stack containers usually have a container interior, which is enclosed at the bottom by a container bottom and laterally by container walls. They are stacked on top of each other on a bottom part, wherein the bottom stack container rests on the bottom part and the other stack containers are each placed on the next lower stack container and close it upwards. The topmost stacking container is covered by a lid that closes it upwards. The bottom part is generally formed with a substantially rectangular floor plan and has near its four corners each have a support leg with a bottom-side footprint for placement on a floor. The lid is designed so that it can be placed on it another identical bottom part of another transport device, and has for this purpose four upper side Aufstellflächen, which are arranged near its four corners at a mutual distance corresponding to the mutual distance of the lower side set-up , In this way, several transport devices can be stacked on each other. The stacking containers formed from foam have the advantage that they are lightweight and robust and protect the recorded items in case of shocks. The foam has a soft surface that does not damage picked up items when exposed to e.g. B. are exposed to vibrations during transport. However, there is the disadvantage that when several such transport devices on top of each other be stacked, especially when a loaded with heavy objects transport device is placed on another transport device, especially on the bottom stacking containers loads a heavy weight that must be completely absorbed by the foam. This load can lead to irreversible deformations of the foam.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Transportvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass sie stabiler ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a transport device of the type mentioned in such a way that it is more stable.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Transportvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a transport device with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, den aus Schaumstoff ausgebildeten Körper jedes der Stapelbehälter dadurch zu entlasten, dass das auf den Deckel durch auf ihn gestapelte weitere Transportvorrichtungen einwirkende Gewicht über die Reihen von aufeinander aufliegenden Verstärkungselementen auf das Bodenteil übertragen wird, so dass die weniger stabilen Schaumstoffkörper der Stapelbehälter entlastet werden. Die Verstärkungselemente sind dabei aus einem stabileren Material ausgebildet als die Schaumstoffkörper, wobei insbesondere Metall wie Stahl oder Aluminium, Hartkunststoff oder Holz Verwendung finden.The invention is based on the idea of relieving the foam-formed body of each of the stacking containers in that the weight acting on the lid by further transporting devices stacked on it is transferred to the bottom part via the rows of superposed reinforcing elements, so that the less stable ones Foam body of the stack container are relieved. The reinforcing elements are formed of a more stable material than the foam body, in particular metal such as steel or aluminum, hard plastic or wood are used.

Zweckmäßig sind die oberseitigen Aufstellflächen am Deckel mindestens so groß wie die unterseitigen Aufstellflächen der Stützfüße und werden wenigstens teilweise durch einen nach oben stehenden Rand umrandet. Die Stützfüße eines weiteren baugleichen Bodenteils können dann mit der vollen unterseitigen Aufstellfläche auf die jeweilige oberseitige Aufstellfläche aufgestellt werden und werden durch den nach oben stehenden Rand am Verrutschen gehindert. Dabei ist es möglich, dass jede der Reihen der Verstärkungselemente direkt mit dem Bodenteil und dem Deckel in Berührung ist, so dass ein direkter Kraftfluss vom Deckel zum Boden besteht. Es wird jedoch bevorzugt, dass der Deckel auf einem Stapelrand des obersten Stapelbehälters aufliegt und diesen mit Kraft beaufschlagt. Ist diese Kraft groß genug, so wird der Stapelrand elastisch verformt, bis der Deckel mit den obersten Verstärkungselementen in Berührung kommt.Suitably, the top-side footprints on the lid are at least as large as the underside surfaces of the support legs and are at least partially surrounded by an upstanding edge. The support feet of another identical bottom part can then be placed with the full underside footprint on the respective top-side footprint and are prevented by the upstanding edge from slipping. It is possible that each of the rows of reinforcing elements is directly in contact with the bottom part and the lid, so that there is a direct flow of force from the lid to the floor. However, it is preferred that the lid rests on a stacking edge of the uppermost stacking container and this applied with force. If this force is large enough, the stack edge is elastically deformed until the lid comes into contact with the uppermost reinforcing elements.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Verstärkungselemente lösbar mit dem jeweiligen Behälterkörper verbunden. Sind die Stapelbehälter abgenutzt, so können die Verstärkungselemente aus dem jeweiligen Behälterkörper gelöst und getrennt dem Recycling zugeführt werden.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the reinforcing elements are detachably connected to the respective container body. If the stacking containers are worn, the reinforcing elements can be released from the respective container body and fed separately for recycling.

Es wird bevorzugt, dass die Verstärkungselemente jeweils eine obere und eine untere Platte aufweisen sowie einen die Platten miteinander verbindenden Abstandshalter. Jede der oberen Platten bildet dann eine Aufstellfläche für die nächstobere untere Platte, so dass diese flächig aufeinander liegen, ohne dass ein exaktes Positionieren der Stapelbehälter erforderlich ist. Dabei wird bevorzugt, dass die Abstandshalter jeweils lose in einen Aufnahmekanal im jeweiligen Behälterkörper aufgenommen sind, wobei der Querschnitt jedes Aufnahmekanals vorzugsweise kleiner ist als der Querschnitt jeder der Platten. Zweckmäßig sind die obere und die untere Platte jedes Verstärkungselements jeweils lösbar mit dem jeweiligen Abstandshalter verbunden. Durch diese Maßnahmen wird sichergestellt, dass die Abstandshalter nicht aus den Schaumstoffkörpern herausrutschen können. Die unteren Platten können einen kleineren Durchmesser aufweisen als die oberen Platten, so dass hier Material gespart wird, ohne dass auf das flächige Aufeinanderliegen der Platten verzichtet werden muss.It is preferred that the reinforcing elements each comprise an upper and a lower plate and a spacer connecting the plates to each other. Each of the upper plates then forms a footprint for the next upper lower plate, so that they lie flat against each other, without exact positioning of the stack container is required. It is preferred that the spacers are each loosely received in a receiving channel in the respective container body, wherein the cross section of each receiving channel is preferably smaller than the cross section of each of the plates. Suitably, the upper and lower plates of each reinforcing element are each detachably connected to the respective spacer. These measures ensure that the spacers can not slip out of the foam bodies. The lower plates may have a smaller diameter than the upper plates, so that here material is saved, without having to dispense with the flat superimposition of the plates.

Um den Kraftfluss besser vom Deckel zum Bodenteil ableiten zu können, sind die oberen Platten zweckmäßig jeweils senkrecht über zumindest einem Teilbereich der zugehörigen unterseitigen Aufstellfläche angeordnet.In order to be able to derive the power flow better from the cover to the bottom part, the upper plates are expediently arranged perpendicularly over at least one subregion of the associated underside mounting surface.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Transportvorrichtung 10 weist ein Bodenteil 12, mehrere Stapelbehälter 14 und einen Deckel 16 auf. Das Bodenteil 12 hat einen im wesentlichen rechteckigen Grundriss und weist an seiner Unterseite nahe der vier Ecken jeweils einen Stützfuß 18 auf, wobei jeder der Stützfüße 18 eine unterseitige Aufstellfläche 20 zum Aufstellen auf einem ebenen Untergrund aufweist, welche als durchgehende Fläche einer Platte oder als ganz oder teilweise umlaufender Rand ausgebildet sein kann. An seiner Oberseite weist das Bodenteil 12 eine Auflagefläche 22 auf, auf der die Stapelbehälter 14 gestapelt sind. Dabei sind zwei aus jeweils sechs Stapelbehältern 14 gebildete Stapel 24 nebeneinander angeordnet, wobei jeweils ein unterster der Stapelbehälter 14 auf der Auflagefläche 22 aufliegt. Die Stapelbehälter 14 weisen jeweils einen Behälterkörper 26 aus geschäumtem Kunststoff auf, dessen Behälterinnenraum 28 zur Aufnahme von Stückgut, im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel zur Aufnahme von Teilen für die Automobilindustrie, bestimmt ist. Der Behälterinnenraum 28 wird nach unten durch einen Behälterboden 30 und zu den Seiten durch Behälterwände 32 begrenzt, welche einstückig mit dem Behälterboden 30 ausgebildet sind. Im Behälterinnenraum 28 sind Aufnahmekonturen 34 für die aufzunehmenden Gegenstände angeordnet. Der Behälterinnenraum 28 ist jeweils nach oben hin offen. Bei der Transportvorrichtung 10 dient jeweils der nächstobere Stapelbehälter 14 als Abdeckung, der den nächstunteren Stapelbehälter 14 nach oben hin verschließt. Der jeweils oberste Stapelbehälter 14 wird durch den Deckel 16 verschlossen.In the Fig. 1 transporting device 10 shown has a bottom part 12, a plurality of stacking container 14 and a lid 16. The bottom portion 12 has a substantially rectangular plan and has on its underside near the four corners each have a support leg 18, wherein each of the support legs 18 has a bottom surface 20 for placement on a flat surface, which as a continuous surface of a plate or as a whole or partially circumferential edge may be formed. On its upper side, the bottom part 12 has a bearing surface 22 on which the stack containers 14 are stacked. In this case, two stack 24 formed from six stack containers 14 are arranged side by side, wherein a respective bottom of the stack container 14 rests on the support surface 22. The stack containers 14 each have a container body 26 made of foamed plastic, the container interior 28 for receiving piece goods, in the illustrated embodiment for receiving parts for the automotive industry, is determined. The container interior 28 is bounded below by a container bottom 30 and to the sides by container walls 32, which are integrally formed with the container bottom 30. In the container interior 28 receiving contours 34 are arranged for the male objects. The container interior 28 is open at the top. In the case of the transport device 10, the next upper stack container 14 serves as a cover, which closes the next lower stack container 14 at the top. The uppermost stack container 14 is closed by the lid 16.

Der Deckel 16 weist nahe seiner vier Ecken oberseitige Aufstellflächen 36 auf, welche in Größe und Form etwa den unterseitigen Aufstellflächen 20 entsprechen und zudem nach zwei ihrer vier Seiten durch einen nach oben vorstehenden Rand 38 begrenzt werden. Auf diese Weise kann eine weitere Transportvorrichtung mit baugleichem Bodenteil auf die gezeigte Transportvorrichtung 10 gestapelt werden, indem deren unterseitige Aufstellflächen 20 auf den oberseitigen Aufstellflächen 36 des Deckels 16 aufgestellt werden.The lid 16 has near its four corners on top side Aufstellflächen 36, which correspond in size and shape about the bottom-side mounting surfaces 20 and also limited to two of its four sides by an upwardly projecting edge 38. In this way, a further transport device with identical bottom part can be stacked on the transport device 10 shown by their underside mounting surfaces 20 are placed on the top-side footprint 36 of the lid 16.

Der Behälterkörper 26 jedes der Stapelbehälter 14 weist nahe seiner vier Ecken jeweils einen von oben nach unten durchgehenden, zu beiden Seiten offenen Aufnahmekanal 40 auf, der der Anbringung eines Verstärkungselements 42 dient. Jedes der Verstärkungselemente 42 weist eine obere Platte 44, deren Fläche in etwa der Fläche einer der oberseitigen Aufstellflächen 36 entspricht, sowie eine untere Platte 46 kleinerer Fläche auf. Die beiden Platten 44, 46 sind durch einen Abstandshalter 48 in Form eines Zylinders starr miteinander verbunden, indem sie am Abstandshalter 48 mittels Schrauben 50 lösbar befestigt sind. Die Abstandshalter 48 sind nahezu passgenau mit allenfalls leichtem Spiel im zugehörigen Aufnahmekanal 40 aufgenommen, während die Platten 44, 46 einen zu großen Querschnitt haben, um in den Aufnahmekanal 40 eindringen zu können. Sie ragen daher oben bzw. unten aus dem Aufnahmekanal 40 heraus. Beim Übereinanderstapeln der Stapelbehälter 40 stehen die unteren Platten 46 des untersten Stapelbehälters 14 auf der Auflagefläche 22 auf, während die unteren Platten 46 des jeweils nächst oberen Stapelbehälters 14 auf den oberen Platten 44 des jeweils nächst unteren Stapelbehälters 14 aufliegen. Der Deckel 16 wiederum liegt auf einem umlaufenden Stapelrand 56 des Behälterkörpers 26 jedes der obersten Stapelbehälters 14 auf. Der Stapelrand 56 ist bei allen Stapelbehältern 14 vorhanden und verhindert ein seitliches Verrutschen der Stapelbehälter 14, indem der entsprechend profilierte Behälterboden 30des nächstoberen Stapelbehälters 14 mit ihm zusammenwirkt. Wird der Deckel 16 durch ein hohes Gewicht belastet, so wird der Stapelrand 56 des obersten Stapelbehälters 14 so weit elastisch verformt, bis der Deckel 16 im Bereich seiner oberseitigen Aufstellflächen 36 auf den vier an den Seitenkanten der Transportvorrichtung 10 angeordneten oberen Platten 44 der beiden obersten Stapelbehälter 14 aufliegt. Die Verstärkungselemente 42, deren Teile 44, 46, 48 jeweils aus Metall ausgebildet sind und somit eine wesentlich höhere Stabilität aufweisen als die Behälterkörper 26 aus geschäumtem Kunststoff, sind somit in Reihen 52 übereinander angeordnet, welche die durch die Stapelbehälter 14, den Deckel 16 und gegebenenfalls eine auf den Deckel 16 aufgesetzte weitere Transportvorrichtung ausgeübten Gewichtskräfte aufnehmen und auf das Bodenteil 12 übertragen. Dabei ist nahe jeder senkrecht verlaufenden Außenkante 54 der Transporteinrichtung 10 eine Reihe 52 senkrecht über der jeweiligen unterseitigen Aufstellfläche 20 und senkrecht unter der jeweiligen oberseitigen Aufstellfläche 36 angeordnet.The container body 26 of each of the stacking containers 14 has near its four corners in each case a downwardly through, open on both sides receiving channel 40, which serves to attach a reinforcing element 42. Each of the reinforcing elements 42 has a top plate 44, the surface of which approximately corresponds to the area of one of the top-side mounting surfaces 36, and a bottom plate 46 of smaller area. The two plates 44, 46 are rigidly connected together by a spacer 48 in the form of a cylinder by being releasably secured to the spacer 48 by means of screws 50. The spacers 48 are almost accurately recorded with possibly slight play in the associated receiving channel 40, while the plates 44, 46 have too large a cross-section to be able to penetrate into the receiving channel 40. They therefore protrude above or below the receiving channel 40 out. When stacking the stack container 40, the lower plates 46 of the lowermost stack container 14 are on the support surface 22, while the lower plates 46 of the next upper stack container 14 rest on the upper plates 44 of each next lower stack container 14. The lid 16 in turn rests on a peripheral stacking edge 56 of the container body 26 of each of the uppermost stacking container 14. The stacking edge 56 is present in all stacking containers 14 and prevents the stacking containers 14 from slipping sideways, in that the correspondingly profiled container bottom 30 of the next upper stacking container 14 cooperates with it. If the lid 16 is loaded by a high weight, then the stacking edge 56 of the uppermost stacking container 14 so far elastically deformed until the cover 16 rests in the region of its upper side Aufstellflächen 36 on the four arranged on the side edges of the transport device 10 upper plates 44 of the two uppermost stack container 14. The reinforcing elements 42, the parts 44, 46, 48 are each formed of metal and thus have a much higher stability than the container body 26 made of foamed plastic, are thus arranged one above the other in rows 52, which by the stack container 14, the lid 16 and optionally take a weight applied to the lid 16 patch further transport device weight forces and transferred to the bottom part 12. In this case, near each vertically extending outer edge 54 of the transport device 10, a row 52 is arranged vertically above the respective underside set-up surface 20 and vertically below the respective upper-side set-up surface 36.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Transportvorrichtung 10 zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Stapel 24 von Stapelbehältern 14 auf. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass zwischen dem Bodenteil 12 und dem Deckel 16 auch nur ein Stapel entsprechend groß ausgebildeter Stapelbehälter angeordnet sein kann. Desweiteren kann der Deckel 16 auch mehr oberseitige Aufstellflächen 36 aufweisen, so dass auf ihm beispielsweise zwei kleinere Transportvorrichtungen aufgesetzt werden können, die jeweils halb so groß sind wie die gezeigte Transportvorrichtung 10. Deren Gewicht wird dann teilweise über die im Abstand zu den Außenkanten 54 angeordneten Reihen 52 auf das Bodenteil 12 übertragen. Zudem können auch andere Arten von Bodenteilen verwendet werden als das im Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigte. Insbesondere kommt eine Palette, hiebei insbesondere eine Europalette, in Betracht, deren Stützfüße kufenförmig ausgestaltet sein können.In the present exemplary embodiment, the transport device 10 has two stacks 24 of stacking containers 14 arranged next to one another. It goes without saying that between the bottom part 12 and the lid 16, only a stack of correspondingly large stacked container can be arranged. Furthermore, the cover 16 may also have more upper-side footprint 36 so that it can be placed on it, for example, two smaller transport devices, each half the size of the transport device shown 10. Their weight is then partially arranged over the distance to the outer edges 54 Rows 52 transferred to the bottom part 12. In addition, other types of bottom parts may be used than that shown in the embodiment. In particular, a pallet, hiebei in particular a Euro pallet, into consideration, the support legs can be designed skid-shaped.
