Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support foot for swap bodies according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Swap bodies are standard freight containers for road and rail transport, which are usually equipped with four fold-up support legs under the frame. When unloading the support legs of the loaded swap body are folded down on the sides of the trailer from the storage position to the support position, lowered the semi-trailer and extended the vehicle under the raised swap body. When loading an erected swap body onto a semi-trailer, these steps are carried out in reverse order. Thus, swap bodies without additional equipment, such as a crane, the driver quickly and easily loaded and unloaded.
  • Conventional support legs are substantially L-shaped and consist of a pivot leg and a horizontal support tube.
  • the support tube is rotatably mounted in a support bearing on the underside of the interchangeable container, so that the pivot leg is pivotable about the longitudinal axis of the support tube between the storage position and the support position.
  • the pivoting leg In the storage position, the pivoting leg is mounted approximately parallel to the underside of the interchangeable container, and in the supporting position, it is aligned perpendicular to the underside of the interchangeable container.
  • the support tube is also laterally slidable in the support bearing, so that the pivoting legs can also be pushed outwards and inwards relative to the swap body.
  • the support leg When setting up a swap body, the support leg is first pulled laterally outwardly from the storage position to an intermediate position, and then the swivel leg is pivoted from the horizontal intermediate position to the vertical support position. In order to achieve the largest possible contact surface of the swap body on the upper end of the pivot leg, the support foot can then be pushed laterally inwards again.
  • a support foot is for example in the DE 3407390 described.
  • the present invention now has the object to improve a standard support leg of the type mentioned in such a way that the improved support foot continues to meet the relevant standards, the extension of the support foot is made possible in the support position without substantial effort, the swap body in the support position directly the flat top of the Swivel leg rests and the support foot can be retrofitted to existing standard swap bodies.
  • Another object of the invention is the complete automation and remote control of the movement of a support leg from the storage position to the support position and vice versa.
  • the support foot 1 has the structure of typical, standard-compliant support legs for swap bodies, according to standards EN 283 and EN 284.
  • the support foot 1 is substantially L-shaped and consists of a pivot leg 11 and a horizontal support tube 12 (FIG. FIG. 1a ).
  • the pivot leg 11 itself is also substantially L-shaped with a flat upper bearing surface 13, which is parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the support tube 12.
  • the bearing surface 13 projects beyond the vertical part of the pivoting leg 11 horizontally and serves for the direct support of the interchangeable container W on the pivoting leg 11 in the supporting position (FIG. FIGS. 1a and 1c ).
  • the support bearing 2 consists essentially of a tube 21 which is fixed to the underside WU of the interchangeable container W and is suitable for receiving the support tube 12 of the support foot 1 ( Figures 1b-c ).
  • the support tube 12 is rotatably and slidably disposed in the support bearing 2.
  • FIGS. 2a to 2d The operation of the support foot 1 is subsequently based on FIGS. 2a to 2d explained.
  • FIGS. 2a-d i) in each case a front or rear view of the bottom WU of the swap body W with the inventive support foot 1 and the FIGS. 1a-d (ii) a side view of the support leg 1 in the same position.
  • the support foot 1 In the storage position of the support foot is folded up under the swap body W, wherein the pivot leg 11 is mounted as close as possible along the bottom WU of the swap body W ( FIG. 2a ).
  • the support foot 1 When setting up the interchangeable container W, the support foot 1 is pushed laterally outward into the first intermediate position in a first step ( FIG. 2b ).
  • the support leg 1 In a second step, the support leg 1 is rotated about the longitudinal axis L of the support tube 12 and the pivot leg 11 folded vertically downwards into the second intermediate position ( Figure 2c ).
  • the flat support surface 13 of the support leg 1 is not applied to the bottom WU of the interchangeable container W and prevents the rotation of the support foot 1 in the second step, the support leg 1 must be at least as far laterally pushed outwards in the first step until the entire pivot leg 11, in particular, the flat support surface 13, is no longer under the swap body W.
  • the flat support surface 13 of the pivot leg 11 of the bottom WU of the interchangeable container W is facing ( Figure 2c ). So that the erected swap body W in the support position can rest directly on the support surface 13 of the pivot leg 11 and not only on the support tube 12, the support foot 1 again pushed laterally inwards in a third step ( Figure 2d ). This is crucial for the stability of the unfolded swap body.
  • the weight of the interchangeable container W is taken directly from the pivot leg 11 and spared the rotation mechanism of the support leg 1 to the support tube 12 of too high, possibly harmful forces.
  • the weight of the interchangeable container W is taken directly from the pivot leg 11 and spared the rotation mechanism of the support leg 1 to the support tube 12 of too high, possibly harmful forces.
  • the support foot 1 is thus additionally locked in the support position.
  • the support tube 12 of the support leg 1 has a guide groove 14 (FIG. FIGS. 3a and 4a-c ).
  • a first bolt 22 is also attached as in FIG. 3b shown.
  • This guide groove 14 consists of 3 segments AB, BC and CD, which between 4 positions A, B, C and D of the guide groove 14 are divided ( FIGS. 4a-c ). In the storage position ( FIG.
  • the support foot 1 is completely pushed under the swap body W, wherein the first bolt 22 is in the position A of the guide groove 14.
  • the support leg 1 In the first intermediate position ( FIG. 2b ), the support leg 1 is pushed laterally outwards, but not yet folded down, wherein the first pin 22 is in the position B of the guide groove 14.
  • the second intermediate position ( Figure 2c ) In the second intermediate position ( Figure 2c ), the support foot 1 is folded down, but the support surface 13 is not yet inserted under the swap body W, wherein the first pin 22 is in the position C of the guide groove 14.
  • the support foot In the supporting position ( Figure 2d ), the support foot is folded down and inserted again laterally under the swap body, wherein the first pin 22 is in the position D of the guide groove 14.
  • the support foot 1 is preferably ejected without rotation between the storage position and the first intermediate position, so that the flat support surface 13 of the pivot leg 11 does not touch the bottom WU of the swap body W, the support leg 1, however, rubs or even jammed.
  • the segment AB of the guide groove 14 is preferably rectilinear ( FIGS. 4a-c ) and aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the support tube 12 ( FIG. 3a ).
  • the segment CD of the guide groove 14 is preferably also rectilinear and aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the support tube 12, so that the flat bearing surface 13 can be inserted parallel to the bottom WU of the interchangeable container W. Since the support leg 1 is not completely reinserted under the swap body W in the support position, the segment CD of the guide groove 14 is shorter than the segment AB.
  • the rotation of the support leg 1 takes place between the first and the second intermediate position when the first bolt 22 is moved along the intermediate segment BC of the guide groove 14.
  • This intermediate segment BC may have any shape, for example straight or, as in the FIG. 4a shown, bent. It is important that the intermediate segment BC is aligned obliquely to the longitudinal axis L of the support tube 12, so that a parallel displacement can be translated into a rotation (or vice versa) and both movements can be performed with a single drive.
  • the angle ⁇ between the positions A, B and C is less than 90 ° and the angle ⁇ between the positions B, C and D greater than 90 °, wherein the rotation of the pivot leg 11 simultaneously with the lateral displacement inwards starts ( FIG. 4a ).
  • the guide groove 14 is thus substantially J-shaped, with two to the longitudinal axis L of the support tube 12 parallel segments of different lengths, which are connected by at least one oblique intermediate segment.
  • the guide groove 14 preferably has no branches and is arranged on the support tube 12 such that both ends of the guide groove 14 point in the direction of the pivot leg 11 and the end of the longer parallel segment is closer to the pivot leg 11 than the end of the shorter parallel segment ,
  • the change of direction of the displacement of the support leg 1 takes place at the inner end of the guide groove 14, ie at the location of the guide groove 14 which is farthest from the pivot leg 11 (for example, position B in the embodiment of FIG. 4a - Position C in the embodiment of the FIG. 4b ).
  • the first pin 22 does not move back in the same segment of the guide groove 14 from which it comes, but on the inner end of the guide groove 14 enters the next segment.
  • a first lock 23 can be provided, which, as in FIGS. 5a-b shown with a second pin 231 is provided.
  • This second pin 231 is preferably disposed on the tube 21, but could be mounted elsewhere on the support bearing 2 or even directly on the swap body W.
  • the second pin 231 is between an open ( Figure 5a) and a closed ( Figure 5a) FIG. 5b ) Position slidably, preferably along its longitudinal axis, wherein it engages in the closed position in the guide groove 14 or other openings 15, 16 of the support tube 12.
  • the support leg 1 is first pushed laterally outwards, wherein the first pin 22 along the segments CD and BC is guided to the position B. Since the first pin 22 is driven in the direction R due to gravity, it then goes after change of direction of the displacement of the support leg 1 from the position B back into the intermediate segment BC, and not as desired in the segment AB ( FIG. 6c ). To avoid this, as soon as the first pin 22 reaches the position B, the second pin 231 is pushed into the closed position and brought into engagement with the segment AB of the guide groove 14 ( FIG. 6d ). After changing direction of the displacement of the support leg 1 thus forces the second pin 231 the first pin 22 along the segment AB of the guide groove 14. Once both pins 22 and 231 are in the segment AB of the guide groove 14, the second pin 231 can again in the open position be pushed.
  • the second pin 231 also serves to lock the support leg 1 in the support position and / or in the storage position by being pushed into openings 15, 16 of the support tube 12, when the pin 22 in the positions A and D of the guide groove 14 is located ( FIG. 6e ).
  • the position of the openings 15, 16 and the relative orientation of the two bolts 22, 231 must of course correspond to the geometry of the selected guide groove 14 ( FIG. 6f ). It is important that the second pin 231 can engage in the next segment of the guide groove 14 when the first pin 22 is located at the inner end of the guide groove 14, where the change of direction of displacement of the support leg 1 takes place.
  • the second bolt 231 is arranged on a holder 232 which is fastened on the support bearing 2 ( FIGS. 7a-b ).
  • the second pin 231 can engage both in the guide groove 14 of the support tube 12 as well as in an opening 15 of the pivot leg 11, which is usually thicker than the support tube 12. This is particularly advantageous for locking the pivot leg in the storage position ( FIG. 7b ).
  • the support foot is provided with a transverse strut, which connects the pivot leg 11 with the swap body W.
  • This cross strut avoids the rotation of the pivot leg 11 in the storage and support position and is an additional security for locking the support leg 1 in these positions.
  • a first end of the cross brace is rotatably connected to the pivot leg 11, while the second end of the cross brace can be secured and locked in the bearing or support position on the underside WU of the interchangeable container W.
  • this second end of the transverse strut is guided in a rail which is arranged on the lower side WU of the interchangeable container W.
  • the cross brace is locked by means of a second lock, which consists for example of a third bolt, which is movable between an open and a closed position.
  • the third bolt may be controlled by a solenoid or other electronically controllable device.
  • the bolt 22 in the pipe 21 is continuous, wherein the support foot 1 correspondingly has two guide grooves 14 on opposite sides of the support tube 12. This ensures a more stable guidance of the support foot 1 in the support bearing 2.
  • an inner guide aid 221 which serves as an inner guide for the support tube 12.
  • the support tube 12 is guided both from the outside through the tube 21 as well as from the inside through the inner guide aid 221 in the support bearing 2.
  • a combination of both measures is in the FIG. 8 shown.
  • the lateral movement of the support foot 1 inwards and outwards can be arbitrarily caused, manually or by means of a drive.
  • Possible drives are, for example, hydraulic, pneumatic or electric power cylinders or motors.
  • the lateral movement can also take place by means of a rotatable spindle 18 which rotates through a nut 222 ( FIGS. 8 and 9 ).
  • the spindle 18 is fixed to the support foot 1 (of course rotatable) and the nut 222 is fixedly connected to the swap body W.
  • the spindle on the swap body W and the nut 222 could be attached to the support foot 1.
  • Such a spindle 18 is manually with or without translation, for example with an external hand crank, or with a motor, for example with an electric motor 17, rotatable.
  • an electric motor 17 is integrated in the support foot 1, preferably in the pivot leg 11 under the flat support surface 13.
  • the electric motor 17 rotates a spindle 18 which connects the electric motor 13 in the support tube 12 with a nut 222 of the support bearing 2.
  • the nut 222 is located for example in the first pin 22 or in the inner guide aid 221.
  • the spindle 18 may have a common thread or a trapezoidal thread, so that with the rotation of the spindle 18 through the nut 222 and relative to the bolt 22 or to the inner Guide aid 221 is moved, wherein the electric motor 17 and starting from the whole support leg 1 can be pushed laterally outwards or inwards.
  • the bolt 22 is guided in the inventive guide groove 14 and the support leg 1 consequently also folded up and down.
  • Particularly advantageous is the use of a ball screw, since the friction losses of the Thread are minimal.
  • the thread pitch can be adjusted depending on the desired operating speed and power of the electric motor used. Calculations and experiments have shown that with a small pitch ball screw, small electric motors with torques of a few Nm-1 are sufficient to fold up and down conventional support legs 1 for swap bodies.
  • the operation of the second pin 231 can also be automated, for example, with an electromagnet or other electronically controllable device.
  • the electric motor 17 on the opposite side of the spindle 18 has a connection 19 which is accessible from the outside, ie from the side of the interchangeable container W, by an opening in the swivel leg 11 ( FIG. 10 ).
  • This connection is used to connect the motor spindle with external tools such as a hand crank or a drill, so that the support legs in case of power failure or failure of the electric motor 17 can still be folded up and down. The driver thus has the certainty that the support legs 1 can always be operated.
  • the electric motor 17 and / or the second bolt 231 for raising and lowering the support leg 1 and / or the third bolt for locking the support leg 1 are controlled with an automatic program.
  • This program can either be carried out separately in each support foot 1 by independent controls, or by a single, central control which controls all the support legs 1 individually, one after the other or simultaneously. In the simultaneous operation of all support legs 1 a swap body W much time is gained.
  • the electric motor 17 is rotated in the right direction, the position the support foot is automatically detected at each step of the movement, and automatically performs the corresponding actions at the right time (ie, changing the direction of rotation of the spindle 18, operation of the second pin 231 of the first latch 23 and operation of the second locking the crossbar).
  • the up and / or folding down of the support foot 1 can be controlled remotely, so that the driver does not have to individually trigger the process when loading and unloading a swap body W at each support foot 1.
  • the driver does not have to get out of the cab to trigger the movement on the support foot 1 or at another location of the swap body.
  • the support foot 1 is thus connected to a remote control, this can either work with or without cable, which must be ensured in a wireless remote control that only the support feet of their own trailer down or be folded up.
