Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stacking device for pallets in order to be able to stack a second pallet on a first pallet.
  • Pallets are used in freight transport for transport and also for the storage of goods of all kinds as single-use pallets or in the exchange process.
  • the pallets are made of wood with two or three beams running parallel in one direction and lying on the floor, on which cross strips and cover boards are arranged.
  • the cover boards provide a loading area on which a storage or transport good, e.g. Cardboard boxes can be put. Tapes or foils are usually used to secure the load.
  • the arrangement of the supports resting on the floor enables the fork of an industrial truck, for example a pallet truck or a forklift, to be driven under.
  • an industrial truck for example a pallet truck or a forklift
  • versions made of an embossed or molded plastic or plastic composite material are also used.
  • Europallet a standardized pallet size has become established, however, pallets in different sizes are regularly used.
  • Pallets are versatile and inexpensive. In comparison to the much more expensive and complex lattice boxes, however, the lack of stackability is disadvantageous for loaded pallets.
  • Stacking frames made of wood are known, which offer side walls for the pallets, so that smaller boxes etc. can be set without using tapes or film to secure these boxes.
  • the side walls are not actually intended to stack a second pallet on top of a first one that is equipped with such side walls. In practice, however, this is quite the way it is practiced.
  • the attached second pallet is not laterally fixed, so that no horizontally acting forces can be transmitted to the lower first pallet.
  • the stacking of pallets on the attached side walls may therefore be suitable for storage purposes, but is unsuitable for transport purposes, since such forces occur during transport during acceleration, braking and cornering and must be absorbed in order to secure the load against slipping or overturning.
  • a given side wall can be used for only one pallet size.
  • spacers made of bent sheet metal, which are available in the accessories trade. These are placed at the four corners on the first lower pallet so that a second pallet can be placed on top of the spacers.
  • This solution is also only suitable for storage, but not for transport purposes.
  • An advantage of this solution is that it can be used for different pallet sizes.
  • the publication DE 10 2004 002 773 A1 shows an arrangement with two side parts that are placed on a pallet and screwed to the pallet for fixation. This solution is also only suitable for storage purposes, but not for transport purposes.
  • the publication DE 1 481 381 A1 describes a scaffold to be placed on a pallet, which has two parallel rigid frames, which are connected on their sides by two scissor mechanisms.
  • the scissors can be used to pull the scaffold apart as far as it will go in a position of use and to place it on the lower of two pallets with corner fittings.
  • the second pallet can be placed on comparable corner fittings at the upper corners of the scaffolding. Due to the rigid design of the parallel frame and the stops on the scissors, a stability is achieved in the position of use, which also allows the transport of pallets stacked in this way. However, depending on the loading of the lower pallet, the rigid design may lead to empty spaces between the pallets, which means that the transport capacity remains unused. Thanks to the scissors, the scaffold can be folded flat without the pallets during return transport, which means that little space is required.
  • the publication JP H08 143038 A shows a container, in the bottom of which tube receptacles are incorporated, into which side parts of a height-adjustable frame arrangement can be inserted. In this way, a disassemblable and stackable box is provided, which, however, requires a specially produced floor and is not suitable for standard pallets.
  • This object is achieved by a stacking device according to claim 1.
  • a stacking device is characterized by four U-shaped profiled corner posts, sections of the corner posts being able to rest on the outside of the first pallet in a corner region of the first pallet. Two of the adjacent corner posts are connected to each other via a side strut. Each corner post also has a support element which is supported in the respective corner area on an upper side of the pallet. In or on each corner post, an upwardly extendable support is guided, a receptacle for one corner of a second pallet being attached to an upper, free end of the support. The support which can be extended upwards can preferably be locked in different positions. In this way the stack height, i.e. the distance between the first and the second pallet can be adjusted as required.
  • the stacking device is used in a warehouse, the stack height can also be deliberately increased in order to create a free space above the stored goods of the first pallet, which enables easier access to the stored goods.
  • a perforated strip can be provided for locking, into which a bolt or screw is inserted in order to fix the support at a suitable height in the corner post.
  • a frame is formed that surrounds the pallet and can transfer lateral forces and tilting moments from the upper, second pallet to the lower, first pallet .
  • the support elements transmit the weight of the upper, second pallet to the lower, first pallet, so that the entire pallet stack formed is raised by lifting the first pallet by a stacker or a pallet truck and e.g. can be loaded.
  • the respective support element is adjustable in height with respect to the corner post in order to be able to adapt the stacking device to pallets of different thicknesses by changing the position of the support element.
  • the height-adjustable support element is connected to the support which can be extended upwards.
  • weight forces of the upper second pallet or all other pallets stacked thereon are transmitted directly to the lower, first pallet via the extendable support and the support element.
  • the corner posts themselves then do not need to absorb the weight, but serve to guide the supports and absorb lateral forces.
  • An unavoidable friction between the corner posts and the supports as well as the corner posts and the first pallet prevents the corner posts from slipping when the first pallet is lifted.
  • the connection between the support and the support element can in turn be adjustable, for example by means of a row of holes in the support, in order to be able to vary the stack height.
  • At least two opposite side struts can be telescoped, as a result of which the stacking device can be used for pallets of different sizes.
  • the telescopic side struts preferably comprise two intermeshing and mutually displaceable sections (sections). These can e.g. be formed by rails with a U-shaped or C-shaped and interlocking profile.
  • rows of holes optionally with elongated holes, can be provided in order to fix the telescopic side struts in suitable lengths.
  • Other latching or clamping means can also be used to fix the length of the telescopic side struts.
  • At least one of the side struts is mounted on the associated corner posts at both ends via a respective pivot bearing about a horizontal axis.
  • the side strut can be folded away, in particular folded down, so that the stored goods can be viewed from the side and, if necessary, also removed or added to the stored goods even when the pallet is stacked.
  • the side struts can be firmly connected to the side cheeks of the corner posts or can also be designed to be removable. It is particularly advantageous if the side struts running in one direction of the pallets are firmly connected to the two respective corner posts, whereas the side struts running transversely thereto can be detached, for example by means of a screwed or possibly secured hook connection, so that these side struts can be removed .
  • the stacking device can then be separated into two elongated units (two corner posts each connected via the fixed side strut) and two separate side struts. These can be transported lying flat on top of each other without taking up a large transport volume.
  • all or part of the side struts can e.g. be attached to the corner posts by means of hinges so that they can be pivoted horizontally.
  • An unused stacking device which is not arranged around a pallet, can be folded flat by the hinges for transport purposes.
  • the corner posts and / or the supports and / or the side struts or the sections are telescopic side struts made entirely or partially of a metal sheet, especially in a stamping and bending process.
  • Fig. 1 shows an isometric schematic illustration of a pallet 1 with a first exemplary embodiment of a stacking device 10 according to the application.
  • the pallet 1 which here is an example of a Euro pallet and is made in standardized dimensions from wooden blocks and wooden boards, has two outer beams 2 and a central beam 3. These are arranged so that a fork of a pallet truck or a forklift can be inserted in the longitudinal direction of the pallet 1 in order to be able to lift and load the pallet 1.
  • Outer carrier 2 and the middle carrier 3 are connected to one another via cross bars 4, on which cover boards 5 are in turn fastened, which form a loading area of the pallet 1.
  • the stacking device 10 has four corner posts 11, which are preferably made from folded sheet metal material and each have two side walls 111 which are essentially at right angles to one another.
  • the corner posts 11 rest with the side cheeks 111 on the outside of the pallet 1, specifically in the area of corner blocks of the outer beams 2.
  • Adjacent corner posts 11 are connected to one another via side struts 14, 15.
  • side struts 14, which are also wider in cross section, are used, and along the transverse side of the pallet 1, shorter side struts 15 and smaller in cross section are used.
  • the side struts 14, 15 are each advantageously telescopic, e.g. by inserting two sections that can be pushed into each other.
  • the side struts 14, 15 can be constructed, for example, from two U-shaped or C-shaped sections, which can be pushed into one another.
  • the two individual sections which form the side struts 14, 15 can be connected fixedly or detachably to the respective side cheek 111 of the corner post 11.
  • a firm connection of the two individual sections of the side struts 14, 15 to the side cheeks 111 of the corner posts 11 can be provided by riveting or welding.
  • a detachable connection can be provided by screwing or plugging or the like.
  • the longitudinal side struts 14 are fixedly connected to the side cheek 111 of the respective corner post 11, whereas the shorter and less solidly designed transverse side struts 15 are detachably connected to the respective corner post 11. In this way, the stacking device 10 can be disassembled when not in use and takes up little transport volume.
  • the telescopic side struts 14, 15 are preferably provided with locking or fixing means (cf. fixing means 141, 151 in the embodiment of FIG Fig. 4 and 5 ) in order to maintain a set length in a non-positive or positive manner.
  • locking or fixing means cf. fixing means 141, 151 in the embodiment of FIG Fig. 4 and 5
  • rows of holes can be provided for this purpose in connection with inserted screws or bolts or locking means.
  • the receiving shells 121 which are arranged, preferably welded, at the free end of the supports 12, have a base and two side walls, which are preferably slightly inclined to the outside.
  • a second pallet 1 ' can be placed on the receiving shells 121, or a unit consisting of a second pallet 1' and a further stacking device 10. Such an arrangement is shown in FIG Fig. 2 shown.
  • the inclination of the side walls of the receiving shells 121 makes it easier to put on the upper second pallet 1 'or the unit consisting of the second pallet 1' and the further stacking device 10, at the same time preventing the second pallet 1 'from slipping sideways.
  • the supports 12 have a triangular profile and are vertically adjustable in the corner posts 11. For guidance at the in Fig. 1 Example shown paragraphs formed in the side panels 111, preferably stamped, so that the supports 12 are guided in the angular region of the corner posts 11 and the side panels 111 rest on the pallet 1 in its outer region.
  • Each support 12 is coupled to a support element 13 which rests on the top of the pallet 1.
  • the support element 13 is designed like a foot that rests on the pallet 1. In this way, weight forces of the upper second pallet or all other pallets stacked thereon are transmitted directly to the lower, first pallet 1 via the extendable support 12 and the support element 13.
  • the corner posts 11 themselves do not need to absorb the weight forces, but serve to guide the supports 12 and to absorb lateral forces.
  • a row of holes 122 is formed in the support 12 with vertically spaced holes, in which the support element 13 engages.
  • the connection between the support 12 and the support element 13 is adjustable, so that it can be set how far the supports 12 protrude from the corner post 11.
  • the stack height that is the distance between two stacked pallets 1 and 1 ', can thus be varied as required.
  • the corner posts 11 can be closed at a lower end 112 with, for example, triangular-shaped base plates.
  • the pallet 1 is encompassed not only on the outside, but also from above and below, as a result of which the stacking device 10 is connected to the pallet even more securely.
  • Fig. 3 shows the stacking device 10 according to Fig. 1 together with a pallet 1 with different dimensions than the pallet 1 of the Fig. 1 ,
  • the same reference numerals in this figure denote the same or equivalent elements as in Fig. 1 ,
  • Pallet 1 shown has a different ratio of the length of the transverse or longitudinal side than that in Fig. 1 shown.
  • the short side that is looked at is longer than the long side.
  • the pallet 1 is the Fig. 3 a so-called "half euro pallet", which is also used in the industry.
  • the stacking device 10 can also be adapted to this pallet size.
  • Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of a stacking device 10 according to the application in a second embodiment.
  • the stacking device is in turn placed on a (euro) pallet 10.
  • the same reference symbols denote the same or equivalent elements as in the first exemplary embodiment.
  • the basic structure of the stacking device 10 corresponds to that described in the previous figures. Reference is hereby made to the associated description.
  • the corner posts 11 are slightly offset inwards. They do not rest with their side cheeks 111 directly on the outside of the corners of the pallet 1, but only have tabs 113 placed on the side cheeks 111 at their lower end, which abut laterally on the corners of the pallet 1.
  • the tabs 113 fix the stacking device 10 with respect to its lateral position. For this purpose, they do not necessarily extend to the bottom of pallet 1.
  • the stacking device 10 protrudes only slightly to the sides - namely with the material thickness of the tabs 113 of a few millimeters and the edge of the receiving shells 112 beyond the pallet 1, as a result of which the pallet 1 with the stacking device 10 or also a plurality of stacked pallets 1 take up approximately the same base area as a pallet 1 without a stacking device 10.
  • the longitudinal and transverse side struts 14, 15 are mounted on the corner posts 11 with hinges 142 and 152, respectively.
  • the stacking device 10 can be folded flat when not in use and transported in a space-saving manner.
  • a further difference from the first exemplary embodiment is that at least one of the side struts 14, 15, in the present case, for example, the side strut 14 extending in the front along the side, can be folded down in order to be able to access the stored or transported goods even when the pallets 1 are stacked ,
  • the side strut 14 is pivotally mounted on its lower edge about a horizontal axis on the corner posts 11 in a respective pivot bearing 143.
  • the pivot bearings 143 have e.g. a pin with a thickening at the free end to be able to withstand tension.
  • a latch 144 is provided on each side in order to fix the side strut 14 in the closed position shown.
  • the side strut 14 can be folded down. Stored goods can be viewed in this way and, if necessary, taken aside from the pallet 1.
