Definitions

  • the present invention has for an object a loading basket for aerial platforms, telescopic handlers or similar operating machines.
  • Loading baskets which comprise a rectangular flat bottom capable of supporting operators and equipment, around which there are arranged walls which have the function to prevent any accidental fall to the ground of the operators or of the equipment.
  • the baskets are arranged for being connected to a telescopic lifting arm by way of suitable coupling devices.
  • the known baskets work with great efficiency when used for work activities at height which require the manual intervention of operators, possibly implying use of portable tools which tools, as said, can be easily transported in the basket itself.
  • the roofing sheets are removed by the operators and restingly placed onto a loading platform (for example a pallet), which is then lifted by a crane or the forks of a telescopic handler; such platform is lowered to the ground from time to time for transferring the removed asbestos sheets towards the flatbed of a truck or the like.
  • a loading platform for example a pallet
  • EP2194019 platform for an aerial lift including a floor structure, a safety rail and a lift gate, which is pivotably attached to the safety rail so as to be pivoted between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the lift gate rests onto the safety rail.
  • EP2253580 describes an aerial work platform having a deck and guardrail sections at the periphery of the deck.
  • the guardrail sections may be individually lifted from a lower operative position to an upper pivot position at which the sections.
  • WO2007134441 discloses a braking device for an elevated platform assembly comprising a platform moveable along a generally vertical mast supporting an upright rack comprises an input gear assembly in mating engagement with the rack, a centrifugal actuator communicating with the input assembly and a spring-loaded brake responsive to the centrifugal actuator.
  • the technical task underlying the present invention is therefore to propose a loading basket which overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the loading basket 1 herein provided was specially devised for use in aerial work platforms, telescopic handlers or similar self-propelled machines.
  • the basket 1 of the invention is intended to be connected to the distal end of an articulated and/or telescopic arm 2 the operating machine is provided with.
  • the articulated arm 2 can be for example fixed to a rotating turret which is fitted on the frame of the machine itself.
  • control means 3 for moving the handling arm 2, which control means 3 is operable by the operators; this shall be however better detailed in the explanation on how the invention operates.
  • the basket 1 of the invention includes a support or support plane 10, 11, preferably quadrangular and arranged to support both the operators, and a load to be lifted or lowered via the basket 1 itself.
  • the support plane 10, 11 is surrounded by a plurality of walls 30, 31, 32, 33 forming a protective barrier or parapet, in order to prevent the operators as well as the transported load or equipment from falling to the ground.
  • each wall 30, 31, 32, 33 stands perpendicularly from a respective side of the bottom perimeter 10, 11, thereby closing the basket 1 laterally.
  • the walls 30, 31, 32, 33 are arranged consecutively relative to the periphery of the support plane 10, 11, thus forming a ring.
  • the basket 1 has a generally polyhedral and preferably parallelepiped shape, wherein the bottom and the walls 30, 31, 32, 33 constitute as many "faces.”
  • the walls 30, 31, 32, 33 exhibit a reticular or "latticework" configuration and may be formed by a plurality of profiles or rods joined together, or by other types of rigid and straight elements.
  • each wall may comprise a plurality of uprights 301, 311, 321, 331 joined by at least one upper cross member 302, 312, 322, 332 and preferably by one or more central cross members 303, 304, 323, 333.
  • the support plane 10, 11 may be rectangular and the basket 1 has then two shorter and opposite walls 32, 33, defined by respective "shorter" walls 32, 33 that are placed on the short sides of the support plane 10, 11; in this case, relative to one or both shorter sides 32, 33, a passage for the operators can be obtained, which is defined for example by a gate or simply by a central cross member 323, 333 of the wall 32, 34 sliding along respective vertical guides, to which it is joined, for example, by means of suitable lashing eyes (see figures 1 and 2 ).
  • At least one of the walls 30 of the basket 1 is movable between a closed position (shown in Figure 1 ), wherein the wall 30 forms one of the sides of the basket 1, and an open position, wherein the wall 30 leaves a lateral loading passage within the basket 1 (see figure 2 ).
  • the passage thus defined allows input or output of the material into /from the basket 1 in a direction parallel to the support plane 10, 11, that is, in the horizontal direction.
  • the movable wall 30 when the movable wall 30 is in the closed position thereof, the movable wall 30, together with the other walls 32, 33, 34, constitutes a barrier which prevents incidental release of the load from the basket 1.
  • a passage is defined that allows manual loading or unloading of the work equipment as well as of several materials, such as the asbestos sheets mentioned in the discussion on the prior art.
  • having the movable wall 30 of the basket 1 open means that the basket 1 has one side less in that the open side comes to form a passage for the material.
  • the basket 1 herein proposed includes a single movable wall 30, which forms one of its major sides (when closed, of course), whilst the remaining walls 32, 33, 34 are "fixed” i.e. they do not allow opening of loading passages; however this is not a mandatory configuration, in that several movable walls cab be provided which are placed in different locations of the basket 1.
  • the movable wall 30 defines the front side of the basket 1 which is the one placed opposite to the back side facing the articulated arm 2 previously mentioned.
  • the movable wall 30 is then spaced apart from the support plane 10, 11 as visible in figure 2 .
  • the aforementioned load passage essentially is comprised of a passage that is defined by the support plane 10, 11 and laterally by the two walls 32, 33 that are located alongside the movable wall 30, wherein said walls 32, 33 preferably represent the "shorter walls" as previously mentioned, which are placed at the opposite longitudinal ends of the basket 1.
  • the movable wall 30 is capable of rotating between the two aforementioned positions, particularly it is able to rise when switching from the closed position to the open position, and vice versa to lower when passing from the open position to the closed position.
  • the lifting of the movable wall 30 into its open position is preferably of the manual type whereas lowering thereof into the closed position takes place by gravity alone
  • further embodiments are possible in which the switching of the movable wall 30 between the two above positions, is assisted by special devices such as gas springs or pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders or the like.
  • the invention provides that opening and closing of the movable wall 30 is constrained by hinge means 51, 52, through which the axis of rotation of the wall 30 itself is passing.
  • the axis of rotation may be arranged on a plane parallel to the movable wall 30.
  • one or more rotation arms 41, 42 may be provided, which are fixed to the movable wall 30 and connected to at least one stationary wall 31, 32, 33 via one or more hinges 51, 52.
  • the rotation arms 41, 42 may be hinged to the fixed wall 31 of the basket 1, which fixed wall 31 is located opposite the movable wall 30 or opposite the two "shorter" walls 32, 33 previously mentioned, thereby allowing the movable wall 30 to be opened as a treasure chest or a luggage compartment.
  • the hinges 51, 52 of the two rotatble arms 41, 42 are located at the corners defined between said stationary wall 31 opposite to the movable wall 30, and the two end walls 32, 33 perpendicular to the former.
  • the rotation arms 41, 42 may be two in number, perpendicular to the movable wall 30 and parallel one to another, and fixed to the movable wall 30 at its opposite longitudinal ends.
  • the movable wall 30 as well as the remaining sides of the basket 1, may include a respective plurality of vertical uprights 301, 311, 321, 331 joined by at least a respective upper cross member; in this case, the rotation arms 41, 42 connect the upper cross member 302 of the movable wall 30 to that of the opposite stationary wall 31 and/or to those of the remaining other two walls 32, 33.
  • the axis of rotation of the movable wall 30 in any case coincides with, or is parallel to the one through which the upper cross member 312 of the stationary "greater wall” 31 is passing, that is to say, of the basket 1 wall opposite to the movable one.
  • the lower ends of the uprights 301 of the movable wall 30 can be removably coupled to the bottom of the basket 1, i.e. to the support plane 10, 11.
  • the uprights of the movable wall 30 are tubular, it is possible to provide as many shaped inserts, which are placed relative to the upper surface of the bottom 10, 11 of the basket 1 and can be inserted to fit into the openings of the free lower ends of the uprights 301 themselves.
  • the invention may however provide further fastening means removable from the movable wall 30 to the support plane 10, 11 or to the two walls 32, 33 which are placed longitudinally alongside the movable wall 30 in the closed position thereof.
  • the basket 1 herein proposed is preferably capable of varying telescopically its dimensions in length.
  • the basket 1 is substantially constituted by two sub-units that include respective components slidingly inserted in the ones of the other sub-unit.
  • such support plane 10, 11 comprises two planar elements 10, 11 that are slidingly inserted one into the other.
  • a first planar element 10 may constitute the fixed portion, whereas a second planar element 11 can be the movable portion.
  • the extension and shortening of the support plane 10, 11, and accordingly of the basket 1, may be actuated by linear actuators for example of the hydraulic type.
  • the upper cross member 302 of the movable wall 30 and the upper cross member 312 of the opposite wall 31 are telescopically extendable.
  • the upper cross member 302 of the movable wall 30 comprises at least two linear rigid elements being slidable one into the other, each of which elements is connected to a respective rotatable arm 41, 42 hinged to a respective linear rigid element comprised within the telescopic cross member 312 of the opposite fixed wall 31.
  • At least one position device for detecting the position of the movable wall 30 is provided.
  • the position device may be constituted by a sensor or a switch or other device, capable of sensing the presence or proximity or motion of the movable wall 30.
  • the position device may be of the type adapted to detect if the movable wall 30 is in the closed position thereof.
  • each of these shaped inserts may be functionally associated with a respective position device.
  • the basket 1 is intended to be supported and moved by an articulated arm 2 which articulated arm 2, together with a possible rotatable turret placed on the operating machine and possible further rotating and/or tilting parts of the basket 1 placed between the latter and the arm 2 itself, form a lifting apparatus operated by hydraulic actuators or other handling means.
  • Such moving means are subject to the control of an electronic control unit whereon the operator may take action if necessary by way of aforesaid control means 3 placed on the basket 1.
  • the control unit is connected to the position devices and is advantageously so configured as to prevent the moving means from actuating the lifting apparatus 2 if the movable wall 30 is not in the closed position thereof.
  • control unit may comprise a safety module that is capable of blocking the moving means in the operating state wherein the moving means is found as a result of the detection that the movable wall 30 ceases to be in the closed position thereof, and of allowing actuation of the handling means only with the movable wall 30 in its closed position.
  • the basket 1 is lifted and placed to the desired height relative to the roof.
  • the movable wall 30 is raised so that the load passage of the basket 1 can be opened; the opening of the movable wall 30 is immediately detected and the control unit promptly locks the articulated arm 2 as well as the means or organs associated therewith, so as to ensure that the basket 1 will remain stationary in the reached position.
  • the sheets are loaded onto the basket 1 through the load passage , e.g. stacked one on the other on the support plane 10, 11.
  • the movable wall 30 is brought again in the closed position thereof, thereby defining a continues containment side barrier 30, 31, 32, 33 in the basket 1 owing to which the material is prevented from falling to the ground.
  • the lifting apparatus 2 After closing of the movable wall 30, the lifting apparatus 2 is released by the control unit, and then the basket 1 is lowered to the ground with its load therein.
