Description

Weitgehend zerstörungssicherer Palettenklotz  Largely non-destructive pallet block
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Palettenklotz, der in seinem Kern nahezu unzerstörbar ist und die Lebensdauer von Paletten wesentlich erhöht. Laut Auskunft eines Palettenhändlers sind beschädigte Paletten zum Großteil durch Einfahrschäden mit Gabelstaplern oder falsches Heben mit Hubwägen an den Klötzen beschädigt. The invention relates to a pallet block, which is virtually indestructible in its core and significantly increases the life of pallets. According to information from a pallet dealer, damaged pallets are damaged to a large extent by collision damage with forklifts or incorrect lifting with lift trucks on the blocks.
Bekannt sind lediglich Anmeldungen, die verschiedene Materialien zur Herstellung des Palettenklotzes beschreiben. Diese Vorschläge haben den Nachteil, dass bei Beschädigung einer Palette ggf. eine Demontage großer Palettenteile erforderlich wird. Zumindest Holzpaletten sind oft reparierbar, was aber aufwendig ist und oft unökonomisch.  Only applications are known which describe various materials for the production of the pallet block. These proposals have the disadvantage that if a pallet is damaged, disassembly of large pallet parts may be necessary. At least wooden pallets are often repairable, but this is expensive and often uneconomical.
Kunststoff- oder Verbundstoffpaletten sind bisher nicht reparierbar, da sie meist einteilig gefertigt sind und eine Zerlegung und Ergänzung nicht möglich ist.  Plastic or composite pallets are not yet repairable, since they are usually made in one piece and a disassembly and supplement is not possible.
Bekannt sind auch z. B. Metalleinlagen in Kunststoffpaletten, die zur Erhöhung der Stabilität in der Oberseite und an den Kufen verarbeitet werden. Die Palettenklötze bestehen dabei aber regelmäßig aus Kunststoff.  Also known z. As metal inserts in plastic pallets, which are processed to increase the stability in the top and on the skids. The pallet blocks are made of plastic but regularly.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Lebensdauer von Paletten zu verlängern.  It is therefore an object of the invention to extend the life of pallets.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Palettenklotz nach  The object is according to the invention by a pallet block after
Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen. Claim 1 solved. Advantageous developments emerge from the dependent claims.
Der erfindungsgemäße Palettenklotz hat eine sehr stabile Kernstruktur (3,4) mit davorliegenden beweglichen, leicht ersetzbaren Schutzschalen (5), die Anprallkräfte aufnehmen und ableiten können.  The pallet block according to the invention has a very stable core structure (3, 4) with movable, easily replaceable protective shells (5) in front of it, which can absorb and divert impact forces.
Der erfindungsgemäße Palettenklotz besteht zumindest teilweise aus - auch faserverstärkten- Kunststoffen, ggf. Metallen, oder Verbundstoffen oder deren Kombinationen.  The pallet block according to the invention consists at least partially of - also fiber-reinforced plastics, possibly metals, or composites or combinations thereof.
Auch die optionalen Befestigungsmittel können aus gleichen Materialien hergestellt werden.  The optional fasteners can be made of the same materials.
Die runde Form des Palettenklotzes ermöglicht auch die Rundung der bisherigen Palettenecken, was das Handling der Paletten in engen Umgebungen erleichtert.  The round shape of the pallet block also allows the rounding of the previous pallet corners, which facilitates the handling of the pallets in tight environments.
Die Erfindung löst die Reparaturprobleme von Palettenarten und verhindert weitgehend Beschädigungen.  The invention solves the repair problems of pallet types and largely prevents damage.
Dabei geschieht die Auswechselung eines Klotzes mit nur geringem Arbeitsaufwand: Bei der Reparatur von herkömmlichen Paletten müssen ggf. in deren Ober- und Unterstruktur Befestigungskanäle 9 mit Ausnehmungen 10 gebohrt werden, ggf. müs- sen freiliegende Nägel entfernt und der erfindungsgemäße Palettenklotz z. B. mit Senkkopfschrauben und Mutter befestigt werden. Geeignete Befestigungsmittel hierfür können Schrauben mit Muttern oder mit abnehmbaren Klemmhebel, Ein- oder Mehrschraubenbefestigungen, Knebelverbinder, Drehriegel, Vernietungen, Verschweißungen, Verklebungen oder Adhäsionsbefestigungen sein. In this case, the replacement of a block with little effort is done: In the repair of conventional pallets must be drilled in their upper and lower structure mounting channels 9 with recesses 10, if necessary sen exposed nails removed and the pallet block according to the invention z. B. be secured with countersunk screws and nut. Suitable fasteners therefor may be nuts or with removable clamp levers, single or multiple screw fasteners, toggle connectors, rotary latches, rivets, welds, bonds or adhesive fasteners.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand der folgenden Beschreibung und Zeichnung von Ausführungsbeispielen, auf die sie keineswegs beschränkt ist, näher erläutert. Darin zeigt:  The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the following description and drawings of exemplary embodiments, to which it is by no means limited. It shows:

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Scheibenschnitt durch die erfindungsgemäße Klotzstruktur am Beispiel einer zu reparierenden Kuststoffpalette. 1 shows a disk section through the block structure according to the invention using the example of a range of plastic materials to be repaired.
An der unteren Palettenkufe 2 wird die Unterstruktur 3 nach entsprechenden Bohrungen mit geeigneten Befestigungsmitteln befestigt.  At the lower pallet skid 2, the substructure 3 is fastened after appropriate bores with suitable fastening means.
An der Palettenoberseite 1 wird durch zu bohrende passende Montageöffnungen die Klotzoberstruktur 4 mit geeigneten Befestigungsmitteln angebracht. Die Oberstruktur ist das höherwertige Bauteil der Palette und wird daher zum besonderen Schutz in die Unterstruktur eingefügt (Fig. 5), bis an allen Unterseiten der Oberstruktur 4 Form- und Kraftschluß zur Unterstruktur 3 gegeben ist. An den senkrechten Wandungen zwischen Ober-und Unterstruktur soll zur leichteren Montage annähernd Formund Kraftschluß gegeben sein. Dort und auch durch die Entlüftungskanäle 12 kann bei der Montage Luft entweichen, wobei die Entlüftungskanäle in der Klotzunterstruktur 3 mehrfach oder breiter angeordnet werden, um bei einem Verschieben von Ober-und Unterstruktur des Klotzes wirksam zu bleiben.  At the top of the pallet 1, the block upper structure 4 is attached by suitable fastening means through suitable mounting holes to be drilled. The upper structure is the higher-value component of the pallet and is therefore inserted into the substructure for special protection (FIG. 5) until form and frictional connection with the substructure 3 is provided on all lower sides of the upper structure 4. On the vertical walls between the upper and lower structure should be given for ease of assembly approximately form and adhesion. There and also through the vent channels 12 can escape during assembly air, wherein the vent channels are arranged in the pad substructure 3 multiple or wider to remain effective in a displacement of the upper and lower structure of the pad.
Die Schutzschalen 5 werden an den besonders stabilen Grundseiten der Ober- und Unterstruktur eingerastet und so zu deren Verbindung genutzt. Dabei verbleibt zur Sicherstellung der Beweglichkeit der Schutzschalen ein ausreichender Luftzwischenraum 1 1 zwischen den Schutzschalen (Fig. 3). The protective shells 5 are snapped onto the particularly stable bases of the upper and lower structure and thus used for their connection. It remains to Ensuring the mobility of the protective shells sufficient air gap 1 1 between the protective shells (Fig. 3).
Fig. 2 zeigt einen perspektivischen Schnitt durch eine Palette mit den erfindungsgemäßen Reparaturklötzen mit vier Befestigungsöffnungen. Dabei wurden drei Schutzschalen vorgesehen, es sind aber beliebig viele Teilungen der Schutzschalen möglich.  Fig. 2 shows a perspective section through a pallet with the repair blocks according to the invention with four mounting holes. Three protective shells were provided, but any number of divisions of the protective shells are possible.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht einer Schutzschale.  Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of a protective shell.
Fig. 4 zeigt einen Schnitt durch einen Reparaturklotz, dessen Oberstruktur 4 mit einer eingehängten Schutzschale über der Unterstruktur 3 angeordnet ist. Da er z. B. verklebt werden soll, sind keine Befestigungskanäle 9 und Befestigungsausnehmun- gen 10 erforderlich.  4 shows a section through a repair block whose upper structure 4 is arranged with a hinged protective shell over the substructure 3. Since he z. B. is to be glued, no mounting channels 9 and Befestigungsausnehmun- gene 10 are required.
Fig. 5 zeigt dieselben Teile teilweise zusammengefügt.  Fig. 5 shows the same parts partially assembled.
Der erfindungsgemäße Klotz kann aus verschiedenen Materialien oder Kombinationen von Materialien bestehen; er nimmt Anprallkräfte auf, indem sich die Schutzschalen 5 verformen und bei vermehrter Energie aus den Halterungen 7 springen. Da in der Regel nicht alle Schutzschalen betroffen sein können, halten Ober- und Unterstruktur der Palette dabei weiterhin zusammen.  The pad according to the invention may consist of different materials or combinations of materials; he absorbs impact forces by deforming the protective shells 5 and jump with increased energy from the brackets 7. Since not all protective shells can usually be affected, the upper and lower structure of the pallet continue to hold together.
Es können an den Schutzschalen 5 Kraftaufnahmestege 13 vorgesehen werden, die die Kraftableitung beim Anstoßen neben den Zwischenräumen 1 1 unterstützen, indem die Bewegung der Schutzschalen erleichtert wird. Zudem verbessern solche Kraftaufnahmestege die Statik der Schutzschalen 5.  It can be provided on the protective shells 5 force receiving webs 13, which support the force dissipation when abutting next to the gaps 1 1, by the movement of the protective shells is facilitated. In addition, such load-bearing webs improve the statics of the protective shells 5.
Bei unsachgemäßer Palettenhebung mit einem Hubwagen werden dagegen alle Schutzschalen 5 brechen und Ober- und Unterstruktur können sich beschädigungslos lösen, da die Halterungen 7 stärker konstruiert sind als die Klipstrukturen 8. Die in den Halterungen 7 sich dann noch befindlichen Klipreste sind leicht entfernbar, da die Zwischenräume 6 größer als die Klipstrukturen 8 sind.  Inappropriate pallet collection with a pallet truck, however, all protective shells will break 5 and upper and lower structure can be solved without damage, since the brackets 7 are constructed stronger than the Klipstrukturen 8. The remaining in the brackets 7 then Klipreste are easily removable, as the Gaps 6 are larger than the clip structures 8.
Dann sind einfach neue Schutzschalen 5 einzuklippen, und die Palette ist wieder vollwertig.  Then simply new protective shells 5 are clipped, and the pallet is again full.
Z. B. bei Europaletten sind neben Klötzen mit quadratischer Grundfläche auch Klötze mit rechteckiger Grundfläche vorgesehen. Diese Klötze können durch Verlängerung der erfindungsgemäßen Klötze in gerader Form analog der beschriebenen Klötze hergestellt werden. Die gewünschte Beweglichkeit der gerundeten Schutzschalen 5 kann dann durch ausreichende Abstände 1 1 zu den gerade gerichtete Schutzschalen erreicht werden.  For example, in the case of Euro pallets, in addition to blocks with a square base, blocks with a rectangular base are also provided. These blocks can be made by extending the blocks according to the invention in a straight shape analogous to the described blocks. The desired mobility of the rounded protective shells 5 can then be achieved by sufficient distances 1 1 to the straightened protective shells.
Auch bei der Neuproduktion von Paletten kann die erfindungsgemäße Klotzstruktur verwendet werden, um die Lebensdauer der Paletten zu erhöhen. Daneben sind die erforderlichen Produktionsprozesse vereinfacht: Erforderlich ist nur die Fertigung z. B. von Palettenoberstrukturen 1 , Palettenkufen (-unterstrukturen) 2 und den erfindungsgemäßen Palettenklötzen, wobei deren einfache Montage ggf. beim Endkunden erfolgen kann. Das bietet viele Vorteile: Solche Paletten können mit kleineren und günstigeren Werkzeugen hergestellt und unmontiert raumsparender versandt werden. Also in the new production of pallets, the block structure according to the invention can be used to increase the life of the pallets. In addition, the required production processes are simplified: only the production z. As of pallet structures 1, pallet skids (sub-structures) 2 and the pallet blocks according to the invention, the simple assembly of which may optionally be done at the end customer. This offers many advantages: Such pallets can be produced with smaller and cheaper tools and shipped unassembled space-saving.
Andererseits können an neuen Kunststoff- oder Verbundstoffpaletten -ggf. faserverstärkt- die Klotzstrukturen 3 und 4 auch gleich an den Palettenstrukturen gefertigt werden.  On the other hand, on new plastic or composite pallets -ggf. fiber reinforced - the block structures 3 and 4 are also made equal to the pallet structures.
Schließlich sind im Schadensfall nur die beschädigten Schutzschalen auszuwechseln. Es ist aber auch die Auswechselung von ganzen Kufen möglich, weil diese erfindungsgemäß als Einzelteile gefertigt werden können oder im seltenen Extremfall die Auswechselung der erfindungsgemäßen Reparaturklötze.  Finally, in the event of damage only the damaged protective shells are replaced. But it is also the replacement of whole skids possible because these invention can be manufactured as individual parts or in the rare extreme case, the replacement of the repair blocks according to the invention.
Die Luftzwischenräume des erfindungsgemäßen Palettenklotzes insbesondere hinter den Schutzschalen 5, aber auch in den Befestigungskanälen 9, bieten zudem genug Platz für die geschützte Anbringung von Identifikationsmitteln, wie z. B. RFID- Elementen etwa durch Verkleben hinter der Schutzschale 5 oder den Bohrungen 9.  The air gaps of the pallet block according to the invention in particular behind the protective shells 5, but also in the mounting channels 9, also provide enough space for the protected attachment of identification means such. B. RFID elements such as by gluing behind the protective shell 5 or the holes. 9
