Description

The invention relates to a liftable support device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a rail vehicle, in particular a pocket wagon, with such a support device.

A generic support device is assumed WO 2016/141399 A1 emerged.

With such a carrying device, cargo that does not have to be directly cranable itself can be loaded in a variety of forms, since the carrying device itself can be craned. The cargo can be, for example, vehicles (e.g. semitrailers, tractors, tractors, buses) or non-drivable cargo (e.g. containers).

In the present disclosure, the receiving position is understood to mean that position of the at least one support device in which the carrying device is loaded or unloaded. In the receiving position, the at least one support device is aligned essentially horizontally, and after being loaded with cargo, the cargo is accordingly also aligned substantially horizontally. The loading position is understood to mean that position of the at least one support device in which the load is located on the rail vehicle together with the support device after the loading process has ended. In the loading position, the vehicle can be oriented horizontally or inclined, depending on the design of the support.
In the case of the generic support device, part of the cargo space between the longitudinal members is taken up by the first support device.

The object of the invention is to provide a generic support device and a rail vehicle, in particular one Pocket wagons, with such a carrying device, in which an enlarged loading space is available.

This object is achieved by a support device with the features of claim 1 and a rail vehicle, in particular a pocket wagon, with such a support device. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

The invention relates first of all to a lifting device for loading a rail vehicle with cargo by means of a lifting device. The support device has a support frame, which in turn has at least two longitudinal beams, which run with mutually facing inner sides to one another and which are connected to one another. The longitudinal members of the support frame can be flat and / or profiled at least in sections - for example with an essentially rectangular cross-sectional profile.

The support frame has at least over part of the length of the at least two longitudinal members a first support for the load which can be driven on up to a maximum width transversely to the at least two longitudinal members. The longitudinal beams can be connected to one another via the first support that can be driven over. The drivable first support can be arranged at a lower end of the longitudinal beams in the vertical direction.

The support frame also has at least one receiving point, in particular receiving pockets, for the lifting device. The receiving pockets are preferably designed for gripping edges of a so-called "spreader", which can be attached to a crane or a so-called "reach stacker". The receiving pockets are particularly preferably arranged in an upper end region of the support frame.

Because a first support device for the cargo has arms, on or between which at least a second support for the cargo is arranged, the distance between the pivot axis, about which the first support device can be pivoted relative to the longitudinal members of the support frame, to the second support can be selected essentially independently of the dimensions of the second support. Furthermore, the path that is described by the second support when pivoting can thereby be influenced. The arms can run essentially straight, at least in sections. The arms can be flat and / or profiled at least in sections, for example with a substantially rectangular cross-sectional profile. The second support can be arranged on the arms at an angle. In this way, for example, the orientation of the second support relative to the first support can be determined for a specific pivot position of the arms.

Because the arms are arranged on pivot bearings outside the drivable width of the first support for the load, the continuous clear width between the longitudinal members of the support frame, which is basically made possible by the width of the first support, is not reduced by the arms.

The longitudinal members of the support frame can be spaced from one another so far that the support device can be loaded with vehicles (e.g. semitrailers, tractors, tractors, buses) or with non-drivable goods (e.g. containers) without any problems. The continuous (along the longitudinal extent) clear width between the two longitudinal sides of the support frame - that is, for example, the possible drivable width of the first support - is preferably at least approximately 2600 mm. The outer width, that is to say the distance between the outer sides of the longitudinal members of the support frame, can for example be approximately 3000 mm.

By choosing the length of the arms in such a way that the first support for the load in a first pivoting position of the arms is lengthened so that it can be driven on by the at least one second support and that the at least one second support in a second pivoting position of the arms relative to the first support of the support frame is raised, there may be different ways of loading the support device. In particular, there can be different possibilities for loading the first support and / or the second support. For example, cargo can be loaded (supported) on the first support without loading the second support with cargo. It is also possible for cargo to be loaded (supported) on the first and second supports. In the first pivoting position of the arms, the first support can be driven over the second support. In the first pivoting position of the arms, the second support can adjoin the first support essentially horizontally (evenly).

Because the second support can be pivoted between a first pivot position and a second pivot position, the roadway formed by the first support and the second support can be adapted to a predetermined contour, for example a contact surface or a pocket of a railroad pocket wagon.

Provision is made for the support device to have contact areas for setting up the support device directly on a terminal floor. As a result, no stationary support structure is required for setting up and, if necessary, driving on the support device, which would have to be provided as a special accessory in each terminal.

Particularly preferably, it is provided that when the support device is lowered onto a rail vehicle, in particular when it is lowered into a pocket of a pocket wagon, the arms can be pivoted into the second pivot position by being lowered. Part of the first The support device (for example the second support) comes to rest on the rail vehicle when it is lowered (for example to rest on a container journal of the rail vehicle). This system remains with continued lowering, which leads to the above-described pivoting of the arms relative to the support frame of the support device.

It can be advantageous that the arms are arranged outside of the outside or inside the longitudinal beams.

Arranging the arms outside the inner sides of the longitudinal beams can result in a structurally simple solution for the design and arrangement of the arms, in which the continuous clear width (W) between the longitudinal beams of the support frame made possible by the width of the first support is not reduced by the arms becomes. The arms can be arranged essentially completely outside of the outer sides of the longitudinal beams.

Even with an arrangement of the arms within the longitudinal beams, it can be achieved that the continuous clear width between the longitudinal beams of the support frame made possible by the width of the first support is not reduced by the arms. This can be achieved, for example, in that the longitudinal members of the support frame have an outward crank (directed away from the first support) in an upper end region (in the region of an end of the longitudinal member facing away from the first support). In another embodiment, the arms can be arranged at least partially inside and / or above the longitudinal members of the support frame.

It can be advantageous if the pivot bearings of the arms are arranged on the longitudinal beams at an end region of the longitudinal beams facing away from the first support. The pivot bearings can be arranged on an upper end region of the longitudinal beams in the vertical direction. By such a Arrangement of the pivot bearings of the arms, the horizontal distance between the second support and the first support can be increased when the first support device is pivoted. If the carrying device is arranged together with a railroad pocket wagon (at least partially) inside the pocket of the pocket wagon when the same is used, it can be provided that the pivot bearings and possibly the arms are located outside of the through the arrangement of the pivot bearings of the arms at an upper end region of the longitudinal beams Pocket. This means that the available space within the bag can be optimally used.

It can be advantageous if the second support of the at least one first support device is designed in the form of a support surface or in the form of a plurality of struts. When the second support is designed in the form of a plurality of struts, it can be provided that the supported load, for example a tire of a vehicle, partially protrudes between the struts.

It can be advantageous if the carrying device has a device for locking the pivotability of the arms. Such a locking can take place via a releasable fixation of the arms on the longitudinal beams (e.g. via bolts). The arms can be fixed in a first pivot position of the first support device. When the first support device is locked in the first pivot position, the drive-on extension of the first support can be fixed by the second support independently of a contact area of the support device. As a result, the carrying device can be used, for example when used with a railroad pocket wagon, as a flat loading area similar to a railroad flat wagon. Of course, the carrying device can also be used with a flat railroad car.

It can be advantageous that the support device has at least one first support device and a second support device with at least one Has third support for the cargo. The first support device and the second support device can be loaded with cargo independently of one another. It can be provided that the second support of the first support device can be arranged on a first face end of the first support and the third support of the second support device can be arranged on a second face end (opposite the first face end) of the first support.

It can be advantageous that the second support device is mounted pivotably relative to the support frame. The second support device can be mounted pivotably relative to the first support of the support frame. The pivot bearings of the mounting of the second support device can be arranged on the second front end of the first support.

It can be advantageous that the first support in a first pivoting position of the second support device is extended essentially horizontally by the at least one third support in a drivable manner. The third support can therefore adjoin the first support essentially evenly. It can be provided that the third support in the first pivot position is essentially flush with the longitudinal members of the support frame, possibly except for ramp-like extensions. When using the support device with a railway pocket wagon, it may be possible, for example, that the third support of the second support device can be arranged together with the first support of the support frame essentially completely within the pocket of the pocket wagon.

It can furthermore be advantageous that the at least one third support can be arranged at an angle of inclination in a second pivoting position of the second support device relative to the first support of the support frame. As a result, the roadway formed by the first support and the third support can be adapted to a predetermined contour, for example a footprint or a pocket of a railroad pocket wagon.

For the second support device, it can be advantageous if the third support of the second support device is designed in the form of a support surface and / or in the form of a plurality of struts. When the third support is designed in the form of a plurality of struts, it can be provided that the supported load, for example a tire of a vehicle, partially protrudes between the struts.

For the second support device, it can be advantageous if the third support is designed to be variable in length. As a result, the length of the third support can be adapted to the load. The third support can be variable in length between a state with a reduced length and at least one state with an increased length. It can be provided that the third support in the first pivot position in the state with reduced length is essentially flush with the longitudinal members of the support frame, possibly except for ramp-like extensions.

It can be advantageous that the length of the third support can be changed by at least one extension part. Laterally protruding extensions can be arranged on the at least one push-out part. In a retracted position, the at least one push-out part can be stowed essentially completely in a base part of the third support, possibly with the exception of protruding extensions. In a preferred embodiment, the third support has two telescopically extendable push-out parts nested one inside the other. It can be provided that the push-out part (or the push-out part) can (or are) be locked in at least one push position.

Fig. 1a shows an isometric view of an embodiment of a carrying device 1 according to the invention for loading a rail vehicle 2 with cargo 3 by a lifting device, not shown, by means of the receiving pockets 5 in a first configuration. The configuration shown corresponds to the pick-up position.

The support device 1 has a support frame 8, with two longitudinal beams 4, which run towards one another with inner sides facing one another and which are connected to one another.

The support frame 8 has over part of the length of the two longitudinal members 4 at a lower end in the vertical direction of the longitudinal members 4 one to one maximum width transversely to the two longitudinal members 4 drivable first support 16 for the load 3.

A first support device for cargo 3 is also provided, which has arms 12 pivotably mounted on the support frame 8, between which a second support 17 for cargo 3 is arranged.

The arms 12 are arranged on pivot bearings 13 outside the drivable width of the first support 16 for the cargo 3. In the present exemplary embodiment, the pivot bearings 13 are located partly within a profiled section of the longitudinal beams 4 and partly on the outer sides of the longitudinal beams 4.

A length of the arms 12 is chosen so that the first support 16 for cargo in the in Fig. 1a-e illustrated first pivot position of the arms 12 is extended by the second support 17 in a drivable manner. The second support 17 adjoins a first front end of the first support 16 essentially flat. A second support device with the third support 18 adjoins a second front end of the first support 16. This is shown in a first pivoting position, in which it adjoins the first support 16 in an essentially flat manner.

As shown, the second support 17 can be extended in the direction of the first support 16 by an extension 17 ′. This allows an extension of the support surface of the second support 17, in particular in one in the Fig. 2 illustrated second pivot position of the first support device. This is useful for transporting vehicles with more than two axles.

For the second support device, it is advantageous if the third support 18 is designed to be variable in length, as shown. In this way, the length of the third support 18 can be adapted to the load 3. The third support 18 is between a state of reduced length (see Fig. 1d ) and a state of increased length (see Figures 1a-c ) adjustable in length. The length variability is realized in the illustrated embodiment by two nested, telescopically extendable extension parts 18 ', 18 ".

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the second and third supports 17, 18 are designed in the form of a support surface. In contrast to what is shown, these can also be designed in the form of a plurality of struts.

In the top view of the Figure 1b it can be seen that the carrying device 1 has a continuous inside width W which is not restricted by the arms 12 (cf. Fig. 1e ) so that there is a continuously drivable roadway.

The first side view of the Figure 1c shows the first and second support device in their first pivot position. In this state, for example, the support device 1 can be located directly upright on a terminal floor 7 via contact surfaces 6 and can be driven on from both sides.

In this exemplary embodiment, the pivot bearings 13 of the arms 12 are located in an upper end region of the longitudinal beams 4 in the vertical direction.

In the second side view of the Fig. 1d the second support device is in a state of reduced length, which results from an essentially complete retraction of the extension parts 18 ', 18 " 4 from.

In the front view of the Fig. 1e it can again be seen that the carrying device 1 has a continuous clear width W which is not restricted by the arms 12, so that a continuously drivable roadway results. In the present exemplary embodiment, the arms 12 are located partly within a profiled section of the longitudinal beams 4 and partly completely on the outer sides of the longitudinal beams 4.

Fig. 2a shows an isometric view of the embodiment of the support device 1 according to Fig. 1 in a second configuration in which the first and the second support device are each in the second pivot position. This configuration corresponds to that state of the carrying device 1, which can arise automatically by inserting the carrying device 1 into a pocket 9 of a rail vehicle 2 designed as a pocket wagon with a lifting device. The configuration shown corresponds to a loading position.

The second support 17 is raised relative to the first support 16 of the support frame 8.

The third support 18 of the second support device is arranged inclined to the first support 16 and, due to the extension by the push-out parts 18 ′, 18 ″, protrudes beyond the front end of the longitudinal members 4.

It can be seen that the arms 12 in this configuration compared to that in FIG Fig. 1 configuration shown are in a raised position. In this configuration, openings 14 for bolts (not shown) and receptacles 15 for the arms 12 can be seen, which are used to releasably lock the arms 12 on the longitudinal members 4.

The first side view of the Figure 2c shows the first and second support device in their second pivot position. Since the second support device is here in a state with an increased length, which results from an essentially complete extension of the extension parts 18 ', 18 ", when the rail vehicle 2 is inserted into a pocket 9 of a rail vehicle 2 designed as a pocket wagon, the third support 18 is pivoted from the first to the second pivot position of the second support device

In the second side view of the Fig. 2d the second support device is in a state with a reduced length, which results from an essentially complete retraction of the push-out parts 18 ', 18 ". Since the insertion into a pocket 9 of a rail vehicle 2 designed as a pocket wagon does not cause the Third support 18 of the second support device comes, this remains in the first pivot position.

Figures 3a-c shows a sequence of a loading process of a rail vehicle 2 in the form of a pocket wagon with cargo in the form of two tractors. The cargo in the form of the two tractors is parked with wheels on the first support 16, the second support 17 and the third support 18, which is extended by the push-out parts 18 ', 18 ".

Fig. 3a shows a state in which the carrying device 1 is just being lowered via a lifting device (not shown) in the direction of the pocket wagon (or has been lifted out of it), with no contact (or no more contact) between the carrying apparatus 1 and the pocket wagon. The second support device is in the state of increased length. The arms 12 of the first support device are in their first pivot position. The pocket wagon has protruding pins 20 with which the first support surface 10 of the first support device and the support surfaces 11, 11 ″ of the second support device will come into contact after the support device 1 has been lowered further, as in FIG Figure 3b shown.

Figure 3c shows the carrying device 1 inserted into the pocket 9 of the pocket wagon in a sectional view (sectional plane within the pocket wagon along a longitudinal extension of the pocket wagon). The second support 17 of the first support device and the third support 18 of the second support device have been pivoted into their second pivot position by the contact of the pins 20 with the bearing surfaces 10, 11 of the first and second support device and the lowering. As shown, the second support 17 (apart from its extension 17 'directed into the interior of the carrying device 1) is located completely outside and above the pocket 9, whereby the load 3 shown can use the space outside the pocket 9 for support. The third support 18 of the second support device is located partly outside and partly inside the pocket 9 in an orientation that runs obliquely to the horizontal. The first support 16 is located completely within the pocket 9. The configuration shown corresponds to a loading position.

Fig. 3d represents the state of Figure 3c is, however, not in a sectional view, but in a side view. It can be seen that of the carrying device 1 only the second support 17 (apart from its extension 17 'directed into the interior of the carrying device 1) and part of the third support 18 protrude beyond a loading edge given by the height of a side wall of the pocket wagon. In the second pivot position of the arms 12 with the carrier device 1 sunk into the pocket 9, these are essentially completely above the loading edge of the pocket 9.

Figures 4a-c shows a sequence of a loading process of a rail vehicle 2 in the form of a pocket wagon with cargo 3 in the form of a semitrailer analogous to the representation of FIG Fig. 3a , with the difference that the third support 18 of the second support device is in the reduced length state. There is no contact with the contact surface 11 the second support device on a pin 20 of the pocket wagon. As a result, the second support device remains in the first pivot position when the carrying device 1 is lowered into the pocket 9 (cf. Figure 4c and 4d ). The extension 17 'of the second support 17 does not have to be used with this type of cargo 3. The configuration shown corresponds to a loading position.

Figure 4c It can be seen that by using the arms 12, a distance between the second support 17 and the pivot bearings 13, which define the pivot axis of the pivoting movement of the second support 17, can be selected so that essentially the entire space between the longitudinal members 4 is clear Width W and length for cargo 3 can be used, both in the first and in the second pivot position of the first support device.

Figure 4d represents the state of Figure 4c is, however, not in a sectional view, but in a side view. It can be seen that only the second support 17 of the carrying device 1 projects beyond a loading edge given by the height of a side wall of the pocket wagon. Because the second support device has not pivoted, the third support 18 is arranged together with the first support 16 completely in the pocket 9. In the second pivoting position of the arms 12 with the carrier device 1 sunk into the pocket 9, these are essentially completely above the loading edge of the pocket 9.

Figure 5a and 5b show a sequence of a loading process of a rail vehicle 2 in the form of a pocket wagon with a carrying device 1 on which cargo 3 is placed in the form of transporters. This results in loading in the manner of a flat wagon with an essentially flat loading area.

The carrying device 1 can optionally be lifted onto the rail vehicle 2 by a lifting device (not shown), as shown, in a state loaded with cargo 3 or in an unloaded state.

In this use, the arms 12 are releasably fixed via bolts and openings 14 on receptacles 15 of the longitudinal beams 4 (cf. Figure 2c ).

Before loading, the carrying device 1 can be placed directly on a terminal floor 7 and loaded with drivable cargo 3 in the form of transporters (by driving up the transporter).

In contrast to the Fig. 3a and 4a the support device 1 is offset in the longitudinal direction by an offset in relation to the pocket 9 of the pocket wagon that, with continued lowering, the pin 20 of the pocket wagon rests on the support surface 23 of the support frame 8, which is at the front end facing the second support 17 of the support frame 8 is arranged, comes (cf. Figure 5b ).

The fixed first support device has come to rest with a second support surface 21 with the pin 20 of the pocket wagon. The second support surface 21 is arranged on the first support device corresponding to the offset of the carrying device 1 in the longitudinal direction relative to the pocket wagon, it being possible for this to be done using a further extension if necessary.

In the in Figure 5b The state shown in the figure, in which the lifting process has ended and the carrying device 1 is supported on the pocket wagon, the support frame 8 with support surfaces 23 ′, 23 ″ is additionally supported on intermediate supports 22 of the pocket wagon above the pocket 9.

A pocket wagon loaded with the carrying device 1 according to the invention can be used in the in Fig. 5 shown flat car application over its entire Length can be driven continuously, in the sense that, for example, several transporters can drive onto the pocket wagon one after the other. If several pocket wagons are combined to form a train, transporters can travel from pocket wagons to pocket wagons if each of the pocket wagons to be driven is loaded with a carrying device 1 according to the invention.

Of course, cargo 3 (such as, for example, containers) that cannot be driven on one's own can also be lifted onto the carrying device 1.
