Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Steuerung von Zusatzgeräten bei Flurförderzeugen. Insbesondere betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Steuerung von Zusatzgeräten bei einem Flurförderzeug, wobei die Zusatzgeräte im Bereich einer Lastaufnahmevorrichtung, insbesondere einer Lastgabel, angeordnet und über eine drahtlose Datenverbindung angeschlossen sind.The invention relates to a method for controlling accessories in industrial trucks. In particular, the invention relates to a method for controlling auxiliary equipment in an industrial truck, wherein the auxiliary equipment in the region of a load receiving device, in particular a fork, are arranged and connected via a wireless data connection.

Es ist bekannt, bei Flurförderzeugen und insbesondere bei Gabelstaplern, die eine Lastaufnahmevorrichtung beispielsweise in Form einer Lastgabel höhenbeweglich an einem Hubmast aufweisen, Zusatzgeräte einzusetzen. Solche Zusatzgeräte können beispielsweise Wiegevorrichtungen für die Lastgabel, Kamerasysteme, Sensorsysteme an einem Gabelträger der Lastaufnahmevorrichtung, Sende- und Empfangseinrichtungen für Transponder, Scannersysteme oder ähnliches sein. Bekannt ist auch, solche Zusatzgeräte in Gabelschuhe zu integrieren, die auf die Gabelzinken der Lastgabel gesetzt werden.It is known in industrial trucks and in particular in forklifts, which have a load-receiving device, for example in the form of a fork vertically movable on a mast, to use additional equipment. Such additional devices may be, for example, weighing devices for the fork, camera systems, sensor systems on a fork carrier of the load handling device, transceivers for sending and receiving transponders, scanner systems or the like. It is also known to integrate such accessories in fork shoes, which are placed on the forks of the fork.

Diese Zusatzgeräte können über ein Verbindungskabel mit Bedien- und Anzeigevorrichtungen in einer Fahrerkabine verbunden sein. Oftmals wird hierfür auch eine drahtlose Verbindung eingesetzt, um eine Kabelführung durch einen Hubmast zu vermeiden. Die durch Zusatzgeräte gewonnenen Daten und Informationen werden dabei häufig für Warenwirtschaftssysteme an einen zentralen Server oder Ähnliches übertragen.These additional devices can be connected via a connecting cable with operating and display devices in a driver's cab. Often this is also a wireless connection used to avoid cable routing through a mast. The data and information gained through additional devices are often transmitted to a central server or the like for merchandise management systems.

Nachteilig an einem solchen System ist, dass die genannten Zusatzgeräte häufig nachgerüstet werden und in das Bedienkonzept des Flurförderzeugs nicht nachträglich integriert werden können. Es müssen dann für jedes der Zusatzgeräte jeweils einzeln angeschlossene Bedien- und Anzeigevorrichtungen vorgesehen werden.A disadvantage of such a system is that the said accessories are often retrofitted and can not be subsequently integrated into the operating concept of the truck. It must then be provided individually connected control and display devices for each of the accessories.

Soweit fest eingebaute Anzeige- und Bedieneinheiten benutzt werden können, ist auch keine veränderbare Position in der Kabine oder auch keine Nutzung von außerhalb durch einen Nutzer möglich, der nicht der Fahrer ist. Für komplexe Zusatzgeräte mit umfangreicher Sensorik und Aktuatorik besteht jedoch hierfür ein Bedarf.As far as permanently installed display and control units can be used, no changeable position in the cabin or no use is possible from outside by a user who is not the driver. For complex accessories with extensive sensors and actuators, however, there is a need for this.

Es ist auch zusätzlich eine einfache Vernetzung eines Zusatzgerätes mit einer Fahrzeugsteuerung des Flurförderzeugs wünschenswert, um Daten im Betrieb einfach austauschen zu können, ohne hierfür Spezialsysteme und einen zentralen Leitrechner zu benötigen.It is also desirable in addition to a simple networking of an attachment with a vehicle control of the truck to easily exchange data during operation can, without requiring special systems and a central host.

Bekannt sind auch weiterhin Zugangssysteme, die den Betrieb eines Flurförderzeug durch einen bestimmten Nutzer sowie gegebenenfalls benutzerspezifische Einstellungen ermöglichen. Bekannt ist dabei beispielsweise die Benutzung eines Tastencodes, der über eine Tastatur eingegeben wird oder eines RFID-Transponders.Also known are access systems that allow the operation of a truck by a specific user and possibly user-specific settings. It is known, for example, the use of a key code that is entered via a keyboard or an RFID transponder.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung daher liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Steuerung von Zusatzgeräten bei einem Flurförderzeug zur Verfügung zu stellen, dass die zuvor geschilderten Nachteile vermeidet, und mit dem ein oder mehrere Zusatzgeräte flexibel durch einen Nutzer bedient werden können. Weiterhin ist es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Vernetzung der Zusatzgeräte auf möglichst einfache Art und Weise zu ermöglichen.The present invention therefore has the object to provide a method for controlling auxiliary equipment in a truck that avoids the disadvantages described above, and with which one or more accessories can be operated flexibly by a user. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to enable networking of the accessories in the simplest possible way.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a method having the features of independent patent claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass bei einem Verfahren zur Steuerung von Zusatzgeräten bei einem Flurförderzeug, wobei die Zusatzgeräte im Bereich einer Lastaufnahmevorrichtung, insbesondere einer Lastgabel, angeordnet und über eine drahtlose Datenverbindung angeschlossen sind, die drahtlose Datenverbindung mit einer tragbaren Computervorrichtung, insbesondere einem Smartphone, Notebook oder Tablet-PC, besteht, über die Informationen der Zusatzgeräte angezeigt werden können und/oder die Zusatzgeräte bedient werden können.The object is achieved in that in a method for controlling auxiliary equipment in a truck, the accessories in the range of a load handling device, in particular a fork, are arranged and connected via a wireless data connection, the wireless data connection with a portable computing device, in particular one Smartphone, notebook or tablet PC, can be displayed on the information of the accessories and / or the accessories can be operated.

Vorteilhaft ist eine Mehrzahl von Zusatzgeräten mit der Computervorrichtung verbunden.Advantageously, a plurality of additional devices is connected to the computer device.

Dies ermöglicht eine gute Nachrüstbarkeit, da zusammen mit dem Zusatzgerät auch eine Anzeige- und Bedienvorrichtung unabhängig von Systemen des Flurförderzeugs eingerichtet werden kann. Durch die Computervorrichtung können dabei insbesondere eine Mehrzahl von Zusatzgeräten gleichzeitig verwaltet und überwacht werden. Es besteht hohe Flexibilität in Bezug auf den Montageort, da die Computervorrichtung frei angebracht werden kann, sowie der Modellvarianz in Bezug auf Bildschirmgröße sowie Zusatzoptionen in Bezug auf die Computervorrichtung wie Schutz gegenüber Spritzwasser, GPS-Sensoren und Beschleunigungssensoren. Auch ist das Verfahren kostengünstig umzusetzen mit Komponenten aus dem Beereich der Konsumenten-Produkte.This allows a good retrofitting, since together with the additional device, a display and control device can be set up independently of the truck systems. In particular, a plurality of additional devices can be simultaneously managed and monitored by the computer device. There is high flexibility with regard to the installation site, as the computer device can be freely mounted, as well as the model variance in terms of screen size and additional options with respect to the computing device such as protection against spray, GPS sensors and acceleration sensors. Also, the process is inexpensive to implement with components from the range of consumer products.

Die Computervorrichtung kann eine drahtlose Datenverbindung zu einem zentralen Server, insbesondere eines Warenwirtschaftssystems oder einer Flottenverwaltung, über Mobilfunk und/oder das Internet herstellen.The computing device can establish a wireless data connection to a central server, in particular a merchandise information system or a fleet management, via mobile radio and / or the Internet.

Dadurch können Daten mit Warenwirtschaftssystemen ausgetauscht werden. Die Datenverbindung kann wie hier beschrieben direkt oder aber auch indirekt zunächst über das Flurförderzeug erfolgen. Neben Daten der Zusatzgeräte, die an den zentralen Server übertragen werden, ist es auch denkbar, umgekehrt vom Server Daten zu beziehen, über die das Zusatzgerät gesteuert wird.This allows data to be exchanged with merchandise management systems. As described here, the data connection can be made directly or indirectly via the truck first. In addition to data of the additional devices, which are transmitted to the central server, it is also conceivable, conversely, from the server to obtain data on which the auxiliary device is controlled.

In einer Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens stellt die Computervorrichtung eine drahtlose Datenverbindung zu einer Fahrzeugsteuerung des Flurförderzeugs her, insbesondere über WLAN, Bluetooth und/oder Mobilfunk.In one embodiment of the method, the computer device establishes a wireless data connection to a vehicle control of the industrial truck, in particular via WLAN, Bluetooth and / or mobile radio.

Auch hier können die Daten der Zusatzgeräte der Fahrzeugsteuerung und Funktionen des Flurförderzeugs zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Umgekehrt kann ebenso auch hier eine Übertragung von Daten zu den Zusatzgeräten erfolgen bzw. eine Steuerung der Zusatzgeräte über die Computervorrichtung als Relaisstation.Again, the data of the accessories of the vehicle control and truck functions can be made available. Conversely, a transfer of data to the additional devices or a control of the additional devices via the computer device as a relay station also take place here as well.

Die Computervorrichtung kann durch Near-Field-Kommunikation einen Zugangscode auslesen und den Zugangscode an die Fahrzeugsteuerung übermittelt.The computing device may read an access code by near-field communication and transmit the access code to the vehicle controller.

Die Near-Field-Kommunikation ermöglicht das Auslesen von Transpondern, insbesondere RFID-Transpondern. Über diese kann die Zugangskontrolle zu dem Flurförderzeug erfolgen. Weiterhin kann über einen Identifizierungscode für einen Nutzer eine Fahrzeugsteuerung auch benutzerspezifische Einstellungen vornehmen.The near-field communication allows the reading of transponders, in particular RFID transponders. Over this can the access control to the Truck. Furthermore, a vehicle control can also make user-specific settings via an identification code for a user.

Die Zusatzgeräte können eines oder mehrere der folgenden umfassen: einen Scheinwerfer, insbesondere einen LED-Scheinwerfer, eine Kamera, insbesondere eine 3-dimensional aufnehmende Kamera wie etwa eine Time-Of-Flight Kamera, einen optischen Code-Scanner, insbesondere Barcode oder QR-Code Scanner, eine Blinkleuchte, Signalleuchten, Projektionsleuchten, insbesondere einen Laser, Sensoren, insbesondere Abstandstaster und/oder Abstandssensoren, Sendeantennen, Empfangsantennen, Sender, Empfänger, und/oder elektronische Steuerungen und/oder einen Umgebungsscanner, insbesondere ein Laserscanner.The additional devices may comprise one or more of the following: a headlight, in particular an LED headlight, a camera, in particular a 3-dimensional camera such as a time-of-flight camera, an optical code scanner, in particular barcode or QR code Code scanner, a flashing light, signal lights, projection lights, in particular a laser, sensors, in particular distance sensors and / or distance sensors, transmitting antennas, receiving antennas, transmitters, receivers, and / or electronic controls and / or an environmental scanner, in particular a laser scanner.

Vorteilhaft kann ein Scheinwerfer zum Beleuchten des Lasthandlings eingesetzt werden, wobei ein Ladungsträgerplatz auch oberhalb der Fahrzeugoberkante ausgeleuchtet wird und der Scheinwerfer nicht durch eine aufgenommene Last verdeckt werden kann. Durch eine Kamera, die auch Entfernungen erfasst, stehen Daten zur Unterstützung bei der Aufnahme von Paletten oder Ladungsträgern zur Verfügung. Diese Daten können durch entsprechende Software oder eine Steuerungselektronik des Flurförderzeugs ausgewertet werden und für Assistenzsysteme benutzt werden. Blinkleuchten und Signalleuchten können zur Warnung eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise wenn eine Lastgabel angehoben ist. Durch einen optischen Code-Scanner, insbesondere Barcode oder QR-Code Scanner, können auch bei in großen Hubhöhe Scans mit sehr guter Leistung durchgeführt werden.Advantageously, a headlight for illuminating the load handling can be used, wherein a charge carrier space is also illuminated above the vehicle upper edge and the headlight can not be covered by a recorded load. A camera that also captures distances provides data to assist with the picking up of pallets or load carriers. These data can be evaluated by appropriate software or control electronics of the truck and used for assistance systems. Turn signals and signal lights can be used as a warning, for example, when a fork is raised. By means of an optical code scanner, in particular barcode or QR code scanner, scans with very good performance can be performed even at high lifting height.

Durch Projektionsleuchten ist es zum Beispiel denkbar, farblich und durch die Form, wie etwa einen Pfeil, eine Fahrtrichtungsanzeige darzustellen. Ein Laser als Projektionsleuchte kann beispielsweise ein Fadenkreuz oder Ähnliches zum Erleichtern des Einstechens in eine Palette mit den Gabelzinken aussenden. Durch Abstandssensoren und seitlich ausgerichtete Abstandstaster kann erfasst werden, wie weit eine Lastgabel in eine Palette eingetaucht ist und ein zu starkes Einstechen in den Ladungsträger bzw. die Palette angezeigt werden. Dadurch wird ein "Durchstechen" durch die Palette und eine Beschädigung von dahinterliegenden Gegenständen wie Regalen oder Ladebordwänden von LKWs verhindert. Ein Beispiel für weitere Sensoren könnten auch Neigungssensoren sein.By projection lights, it is conceivable, for example, color and by the shape, such as an arrow to represent a direction indicator. For example, a laser as a projection lamp may emit a crosshair or the like to facilitate piercing into a pallet with the forks. Distance sensors and laterally aligned distance sensors can be used to determine how far a load fork is immersed in a pallet and if too much puncturing is indicated in the load carrier or pallet. This prevents "piercing" through the pallet and damage to underlying objects such as truck shelves or tail lifts. An example of other sensors could also be tilt sensors.

Es können eines oder mehrere der Zusatzgeräte in einen Gabelschuh integriert sein.One or more of the accessories may be integrated into a fork shoe.

Insbesondere die zuvor beschriebenen Zusatzgeräte können in einen Gabelschuh integriert werden und stehen somit in Verbindung mit dem hier beschriebenen Verfahren als Nachrüstlösung für jegliche Art von Flurförderzeug mit einer Lastgabel zur Verfügung, unabhängig von Typ und Hersteller, da kein Eingriff in das eigentliche Flurförderzeug und dessen Systeme erforderlich ist.In particular, the accessories described above can be integrated into a fork shoe and are thus in conjunction with the method described here as a retrofit solution for any type of truck with a fork available, regardless of type and manufacturer, as no interference with the actual truck and its systems is required.
