Vorrichtung zum Umschlagen von Schüttgutcontainern Device for handling bulk containers
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Umschlagen von Schüttgutcontainern. The invention relates to a device for handling bulk containers.
Üblicherweise werden Schüttgüter, wie Erz, Kohle oder Holzpellets, die in Containern im Schienenverkehr zu Häfen transportiert werden, um auf Schüttgutfrachtern weiter transportiert zu werden, vorerst direkt auf den Kai oder, insbesondere bei Usually, bulk goods, such as ore, coal or wood pellets, which are transported in containers by rail to ports to be transported on bulk carriers, for the time being directly on the quay or, in particular at
nässeempfindlichen Schüttgütern, in Hallen entladen. Zum Beladen des Frachters wird das Schüttgut entweder mittels eines Förderbandes oder mittels Doppelschalengreifern portionsweise in den Laderaum des Frachters gebracht. Die meisten Schüttgüter lagern daher eine Zeit lang frei oder in Hallen, wodurch sie einen Qualitätsverlust erleiden können und Verunreinigungen ausgesetzt sind. Das nachfolgende Beladen des Schüttgutfrachters ist zeitaufwendig und unkomfortabel. moisture-sensitive bulk materials, unloaded in halls. To load the freighter, the bulk material is brought into the cargo compartment of the freighter in portions, either by means of a conveyor belt or by means of double-shell grippers. For this reason, most bulk materials are stored for a while or in halls, which can lead to a loss of quality and contamination. The subsequent loading of the bulk carrier is time consuming and uncomfortable.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen, mittels welcher Schüttgutcontainer auf einfache und komfortable Weise entladen und umgeladen und bei Bedarf auch entleert werden können, insbesondere sollen The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device by means of which bulk containers can be unloaded and reloaded in a simple and comfortable way and, if necessary, also be emptied, in particular to
Schüttgüter ohne Zwischenlagerung direkt vom Container in den Laderaum eines Bulk goods without intermediate storage directly from the container into the hold of a
Schüttgutfrachters entleert werden können. Bulk carrier can be emptied.
Gelöst wird die gestellte Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß mit einer Vorrichtung, welche eine Stahlrahmenkonstruktion aus miteinander verschweißten Stahlträgern aufweist, welche an eine Lastaufnahme einer Container-Fördervorrichtung ankoppelbar ist und an welcher eine Einrichtung zum Aufnehmen des Containers angeordnet ist, welche eine Entleerung des Containers durch Drehen gestattet. Die Erfindung ermöglicht daher den vorgesehenen Transfer eines Schüttgutcontainers zur Entladestelle des Schüttgutes, insbesondere das Entladen von Schüttgutcontainern von einem Fahrzeug, beispielsweise einem Schienenfahrzeug, und das Entleeren des The object is achieved according to the invention with a device having a steel frame construction of welded together steel girders, which is coupled to a load receiving a container conveyor and on which a device for receiving the container is arranged, which allows emptying of the container by turning. The invention therefore makes possible the intended transfer of a bulk material container to the unloading point of the bulk material, in particular the unloading of bulk containers from a vehicle, for example a rail vehicle, and the emptying of the bulk goods container
Schüttgutes in den Frachtraum des Schüttgutfrachters. Es kann daher die Zwischenlagerung des Schüttgutes und die Gefahr von Verunreinigung desselben entfallen. Ein besonderer Vorteil der Erfindung liegt in der kurzen Beladezeit des Schüttgutfrachters, umständliches Hantieren des Schüttgutes durch Umladen auf Förderbänder oder das Hantieren mit Doppelschalengreifern entfallen. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann auch ein Entleeren des Schüttgutes auf den Kai oder in eine Halle auf schnelle und komfortable Weise erfolgen, falls eine Zwischenlagerung erforderlich ist. Bulk goods in the hold of the bulk carrier. It can therefore account for the intermediate storage of the bulk material and the risk of contamination thereof. A particular advantage of the invention lies in the short loading time of the bulk carrier, cumbersome handling of the bulk material by reloading on conveyor belts or dealing with double shell grabs accounts. With the device according to the invention also an emptying of the bulk material can be done on the quay or in a hall in a quick and comfortable way, if an intermediate storage is required.
Die Stahlrahmenkonstruktion soll einerseits stabil und verwindungssteif ausgeführt sein, andererseits ein relativ moderates bzw. geringes Gewicht aufweisen. Gemäß der Erfindung weist daher die Stahlrahmenkonstruktion eines rechteckigen, oberen Stahlrahmen auf, welcher mit Eckbeschlägen versehen ist, an welchen an der Lastaufnahme angeordnete Drehriegel einrastbar sind. Darüber hinaus weist die Stahlrahmenkonstruktion The steel frame construction should on the one hand be made stable and rigid, on the other hand have a relatively moderate or low weight. According to the invention therefore has the steel frame construction of a rectangular, upper steel frame, which is provided with corner fittings, on which arranged on the load receiving rotary latch can be latched.
