Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an order picker truck and more precisely means to extend the range of a picker.
  • an order picker truck By means of an order picker truck a driver is picking items from a rack at an elevated level. The driver is standing on a platform, which platform can be raised and lowered to desired heights. The truck may also be driven along the rack in order to pick items at different positions in a rack.
  • the gate is normally also a safety device hindering the driver from falling off the platform. However, in some cases the gate may make it hard to reach items placed far into the rack.
  • a solution to this according to prior art is to arrange the gate so that it can be tilted outwards and thereby increase the reach for the driver standing on the platform.
  • One example of such a solution is shown in EP 2 514 708 B1 , wherein an upper lateral barrier and a central lateral barrier are arranged on a carrier component.
  • the carrier component holds one end of the upper and middle lateral barriers, respectively.
  • the carrier component holder can be folded outwards to a limited degree.
  • Another document showing an example of an industrial truck having a driver's cab comprising a gate is GB 2289 669 A .
  • One object of the present invention is to solve the above problem of how to reach further into a rack in a simple, economical and safe way.
  • an order picker truck is arranged with a vertically moveable platform and a gate.
  • the gate comprises an upper bar having a bow form. Means are arranged allowing the bow of the upper bar to be rotated from a vertical position to a horizontal position and vice versa. The bow is directed away from the platform in the horizontal position.
  • the gate is formed of interconnected columns and bars. In the closed position of the gate it comprises two vertical columns and three horizontal bars. In the fully opened position of the gates all columns and bars have an approximately horizontal position.
  • FIG. 1 an example of a general order picker truck 1 is shown.
  • a gate according to the present invention is intended for use with order picker trucks, such as the order picker truck 1 of Fig. 1 .
  • the order picker truck 1 has a platform 2, which can be raised and lowered such as along a mast for example. A person is to stand on the platform 2 and pick items at all levels.
  • the platform 2 has a gate that is opened for allowing a person to go onto the platform 2.
  • the gate is also a safety device that serves the purpose to hinder the person on the platform 2 from falling out.
  • the gate has an upper bar 3, a middle bar 4, a lower bar 5, a first column 6 and a second column 7.
  • One end of each bar 3-5 is received with one end in a journaling point 8 in the first column 6, the opposite end of respective bar 3-5 is received in a journaling point 8 in the second column 7.
  • the first column 6 is fixed to the platform.
  • To open the gate it is turned upwards, whereby the second column 7 is lifted.
  • the bars 3-5 will be turned in relation to fixed first column 6 and to the second column 7 in the journaling points 8 of respective bar 3-5.
  • the first and second columns 6, 7 and the bars 3-5 all will have an approximately vertical extension, as shown in Fig. 3 .
  • first and second columns 6, 7 and the middle and lower bars 4, 5 are of no importance to the present invention as such.
  • said columns and bars can be given different designs than those shown in the enclosed Figs.
  • the journaling points 8 could have the form of a shaft received in bushings at opposite ends or the form of a bolt and nut. Each shaft or bolt goes through one of the columns 6, 7 and one of the bars 3-5.
  • the gate is normally opened and closed by hand by gripping a handle 9, but it is also possible to provide an actuator for opening and closing of the gate.
  • the handle 9 is provided at the end of the upper bar 3 placed at the second column 7.
  • a locking piston 10 is placed on the first column 6 in a position to hinder unwanted opening of the gate. In the locking position a pin of the locking piston 10 is protruded under the lower bar 5 hindering the lower bar 5, and thereby the gate, from being opened.
  • the locking piston 10 may be controlled to only allow the gate to be opened up to a predetermined height for the platform 2. If the gate is still open when reaching said predetermined height the upwards movement of the platform 2 is stopped.
  • a sensor 11 is placed at the end of the middle bar 4 in the first column 6. The sensor 11 senses whether the gate is opened or not. Lifting of the platform 2 of the order picker truck 1 is only allowed if the sensor 11 registers that the gate is closed. A gas damper 12 is placed next to the sensor 11, which gas damper 12 is placed to dampen the movement of the gate when approaching the totally open and/or closed position.
  • the upper bar 3 has a bent form, forming a kind of bow.
  • the bow starts a short distance from respective end of the upper bar 3.
  • a first and second straight part 13, 14, respectively, at each end of the upper bar 3 goes via a curve 15, 16 over in a middle part 17.
  • the middle part 17 is straight but in other embodiments the middle part has a curved form.
  • a distance by which the middle part 17 is displaced from the ends of the upper bar 3 is about 100 mm. The exact distance may vary depending on the intended use and available space.
  • the bow of the upper bar 3 In the horizontal position the bow of the upper bar 3 is directed away from the platform 2. By placing the bow of the upper bar 3 in a horizontal position the person standing on the platform 2 can lean further into a rack or the like compared to if the upper bar would be straight.
  • the upper bar 3 is received with a first end in a first housing 18 on the fixed first column 6 and a second end in a second housing 19 on the second column 7.
  • the first housing 18 in the first column 6 the first end of the upper bar 3 goes through a bushing 20.
  • the first end of the upper bar 3 received in the first housing 18 has a protruding part 21 protruding from the outer end of the upper bar 3.
  • the protruding part 21 has a relatively short extension along the circumference of the upper bar 3.
  • the protruding part 21 is to cooperate with a sensor 22 to establish whether the bow of upper bar 3 is in a horizontal or vertical position. In the shown embodiment the protruding part 21 is placed at the sensor 22 when the bow of the upper bar 3 is in a vertical position.
  • a torsion spring 23 is placed inside the housing 18, surrounding the first end of the upper bar 3 and placed between the bushing 20 and the sensor 22.
  • the torsion spring 23 is connected to the upper bar 3 and the function of the torsion spring 23 is to automatically return the upper bar 3 to the position in which the bow of the upper part has a vertical position, in case no force is applied to the upper bar 3.
  • a tensioning screw 24 is provided in the first housing 18 and acting on one end of the torsion spring 23. By means of the tensioning screw 24 the force of the torsion spring 23 can be adjusted to a desired level.
  • the second housing 19 of the second column 7 comprises a support sleeve 25.
  • the upper bar 3 goes through the support sleeve 25 of the second housing 19 and through a bushing 26 at an inner end of the housing 19.
  • the upper bar 3 is free to rotate inside the support sleeve 25.
  • the second end of the upper bar 3 protrudes from the second housing 19.
  • the handle 9 is placed on the part of the upper bar 3 protruding from the second housing 19.
  • the handle 9 is fixed to the upper bar 3 in such a way that the upper bar 3 will be rotated when the handle 9 is rotated.
  • One example of the connection between the handle 9 and the upper bar 3 is to use a lock screw, as indicated in Fig. 7b .
  • the support sleeve 25 of the second housing 19 receives a pin 27 in grooves 28 on opposite sides of the support sleeve 25.
  • Each groove 28 extends about 90° around the circumference of the support sleeve 25.
  • the pin 27 is placed in first openings 29 opposite each other in the upper bar 3, projecting outside the upper bar 3 in such a way that the ends of the pin 27 is placed in respective groove 28 of the support sleeve 25.
  • the maximal rotation of the upper bar 3 is restricted to about 90°. Thereby the upper bar 3 may be rotated between a position where the bow of the upper bar 3 has a vertical position and a position where the bow of the upper bar 3 has a horizontal position.
  • An index bolt 30 is arranged on the second housing 19 at the second column 7.
  • the index bolt 30 has a pin 31 at the lower end to be received in an opening 32 of the support sleeve 25.
  • a second opening 33 of the upper bar 3 is placed in line with the opening 32 of the support sleeve 25 when the upper bar 3 is in the position in which the bow of the upper bar 3 is in a vertical position.
  • the pin 31 of the index bolt 30 is pretensioned to go into the second opening 33 of the upper bar 3, locking the upper bar 3 from being rotated, when the bow of the upper bar 3 is in the vertical position.
  • the index bolt 30 has to be lifted in order to rotate the upper bar 3.
  • the index bolt 30 may be locked in the lifted position, whereby it is not necessary to lift the index bolt 30 every time one wants to rotate the upper bar 3.
  • the bow of the upper bar 3 may be rotated towards a horizontal position either by hand or by leaning against the bow of the upper bar 3.
  • the sensor 22 in the first housing 18 at the first column 6 detects that the upper bar 3 has been rotated from the position in which the bow of the upper bar 3 has a vertical position, movement of the order picker truck 1 as well as the platform 2 is hindered. If one lets the upper bar 3 go, for instance by not leaning against it any more, the bow of the upper bar 3 will be brought to the vertical position by means of the torsion spring 23. In that position the sensor 22 will register that the upper bar 3 is back in the original position allowing movement for the truck 1 and the platform 2.
