Description

The present invention relates to a method for packaging elevator components of a complete elevator system in several packages according to the preamble of claim 1.

Elevator systems are assembled from a large number of individual elevator components. In addition to the elevator cabin, there are shaft components such as the guide rails, a shaft head, a shaft pit, the drive mechanism, the ropes, a counterweight frame and counterweights, and other elevator components such as visible parts, the doors and the control system. An elevator manufacturer procures the preliminary products for these elevator components, processes the preliminary products in its production to create the installable elevator components, delivers these to a construction site and then installs them in a building to create a complete, ready-to-use elevator system.

In order to transport the individual elevator components from the factory to the installation site, they must be packaged. The packaging serves to protect the elevator components and ensure the safety of the load. At the installation site, the individual elevator components must be unloaded, unpacked and processed.

Packaging materials for technical components are known from the state of the art. In the document DE 26 16 824 A1 For example, a stacking container is disclosed which can be dismantled as required and in which different fillings can be used for the side walls. From the document EN 10 2015 115 909 A1 an accessory box is known in which fittings are packaged. The fittings are fixed within the packaging by a packaging insert which has recesses into which at least a portion of a fitting part engages. At least one separating layer is arranged inside the accessory box, which divides the interior of the accessory box into several chambers. The accessory box also contains assembly materials. The document EN 89 16 145 A1 discloses a transport container for small parts stored in boxes, in which the stacking space is divided into several drawer levels for individual boxes that can be inserted into them.

However, the aforementioned documents only reveal partial solutions for a specific packaging in each case. The requirements for a processing-friendly provision of individual elevator components at the installation site are not sufficiently taken into account.

The shipping packaging of an elevator system poses a particular problem: the number, variety and diversity of the elevator components to be installed at the installation site means that the elevator components required for the elevator system must inevitably be packed in several packages. In this case, it is often a matter of skill and experience It is up to the production staff and warehouse workers to decide which elevator components are packed in which package. This means that not all elevator components are always available when they are needed in a logical and efficient assembly sequence. A package may contain elevator components that are not yet needed for a certain assembly step and which then lie around unprotected on a construction site, or a package may be missing certain elevator components that must be available at the installation site in order to complete an assembly step, which delays assembly. If elevator components are constantly being packaged differently, it may also happen that individual elevator components are not optimally protected in the selected packaging and therefore arrive at the construction site damaged. Finally, elevator components can also be damaged during long-term storage on the construction site or during unpacking because they are not sufficiently secured in the packaging and fall out of the packaging when unpacked.

In the Scripture US 2006/259171 A1 A method for the improved provision of components of an elevator system is disclosed. However, the document does not go into detail about how the components to be transported can be optimally protected.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a method for packaging elevator components of a complete elevator system, in which the disadvantages of the prior art described above are avoided as far as possible.

The problem is solved for a corresponding packaging method by the characterizing features of claim 1.

If the description and claims refer to the elevator components of a complete elevator system, this term includes at least the elevator components of the shaft fittings, the elevator components of the shaft head, the elevator components for a shaft pit, the elevator components of the visible parts, the elevator components of a supporting structure for the elevator car and the cabin, a counterweight frame, the elevator component of at least one front, the elevator component of a control system, the elevator components of the doors and, as further elevator components, a drive mechanism and one or more ropes.

The elevator components of the shaft head installations are several or all of the following parts: a drive carrier, a drive, a rope anchor point, a car adapter, a rope anchor point on the car, a rope suspension, a rope guide, a console for the speed governor and the speed governor itself, a connection cable for the speed governor, a console for the frequency converter, a console for the braking resistor, a console for the uninterruptible power supply, an emergency call system, a bracket for an emergency call system and a set-down device.

The elevator components for the shaft installations are several or all of the following parts: guide rails for the elevator car, guide rails for the counterweights, a butt plate, rail holders with a torque arm and/or without a torque arm, rail brackets, at least one suspension rope, at least one governor rope and an assembly kit.

The elevator components for the shaft pit installations are several or all of the following parts: the pit frame for the elevator car, a pit frame for the counterweight, at least one buffer support, a guide for the protective space protection in the pit, a support for the protective space protection in the pit, at least one support for the protective space protection on the cabin, at least one counterweight track partition, at least one tension weight, an oil drip tray, a ladder holder, a ladder, a document bag, a fastening kit for the car's top buffer, a fastening kit for the counterweight's top buffer, a fastening kit for the protective space protection top buffer of the cabin, a car's top buffer, a counterweight's top buffer and a cabin's protective space protection top buffer.

The elevator components of the supporting structure are components of the frame, which can be in the form of profiles or sheet metal parts, for example in the form of folded connecting elements.

The visible elevator components are parts that are visible to the user of an elevator system, such as components of the rear wall of the elevator car, side walls or an interior panel for operating the elevator and for controlling the respective stops.

When the indefinite article a/an/an is used above, it is to be understood as such and not as a numeral in the sense of exactly one single component.

By assigning the elevator components to a respective assembly step, it is possible to configure packages associated with an assembly step. In principle, it is then possible to pack the elevator components required for a respective assembly step into a corresponding package. The term "package" does not necessarily mean a single, closed packaging unit. A package in the sense of this invention is understood to mean a total of elevator components that are required for one or two assembly steps. A package can therefore also consist of several pallets or packaging units that contain the elevator components required for an assembly step. The total of the pallets or packaging units that contain the The elevator components required for the assembly step then form a package. A package can therefore also be divided into several closed packaging units. For example, several packaging units packed on respective pallets, each of which can be moved individually and independently of one another, can form a package. However, a package can also be a single pallet or box on or in which the corresponding elevator components are placed.

When talking about the elevator components that are included in a package, the package does not have to be limited to the large elevator components themselves. For example, a package can also contain assembly aids such as screws, cables, fittings, assembly foam, adhesives, seals and the like and tools as well as technical documentation such as drawings, parts lists, assembly instructions, certificates and the like. If assembly steps follow one another directly, it is also possible to pack individual elevator components that are required in a subsequent assembly step in a package that contains the elevator components required for the previous assembly step. It is also possible to pack the elevator components required for two assembly steps as one package.

By packing elevator components that are part of a common assembly step at the installation site in a separate package, it is avoided that elevator components required for an assembly step are missing or that elevator components are not included in a package that are only needed later and that can therefore be damaged or lost. During production, By providing and packaging the elevator components, it is much easier to check whether all the elevator components required for an assembly step are actually present, so that it is less likely that elevator components required are missing at the installation site. Unpacking the elevator components at the installation site is more efficient because only the package required is moved and unpacked and there is no longer a need to search for elevator components that are packed in different packages or are missing altogether. Less storage space and floor space is also required on the construction site for the elevator components if the individual packages are delivered and unpacked successively as assembly progresses.

By using packaging materials used in a package as reusable packaging, it is economically viable to design them in a more complex and, in particular, component-specific manner for the elevator components belonging to the package. The more complex reusable packaging pays for itself through its multiple use. The packaging materials used as reusable packaging can in particular have component-specific shaped receptacles in which the elevator components inserted therein are held free of play or at least almost free of play during transport. The elevator components placed in the receptacles are well protected from damage during transport, and the elevator components cannot easily fall out uncontrollably when unpacking. The receptacles can contain cushioning materials such as air cushions, fleece layers and the like, which absorb vibrations and shocks. dampen and prevent scratching of surfaces. The component-specific shaped holders can also have separate fastening devices such as catches, clamps, tensioning belts and similar fastening aids that are firmly connected to the reusable packaging. This means that the elevator components packed in the packaging are even better protected against changes in position and the resulting damage during transport. The fastening aids can also remain permanently in the reusable packaging ready for any further use of the packaging.

Combining the elevator components required for an assembly step in one package and packing them in reusable packaging also makes it possible to design the packaging as a whole in a targeted way that saves space and materials. By using appropriately designed packaging, it is possible to reduce the use of non-specific disposable packaging material and thus reduce the overall transport volume required for transporting the elevator system. The packaging is therefore more resource-efficient and sustainable overall.

The elevator components of a package are placed on a reusable base plate, at least one reusable fixing structure is placed on the base plate and/or the elevator components, with which the elevator components are held in a form-fitting manner in a defined position relative to one another, the support of a base plate and/or a fixing structure on the elevator components located underneath is repeated as often as necessary until a desired stack height is reached, a reusable cover structure is placed on the top part of the elevator components, and the base plate(s), the fixing structure and the cover structure are used together as reusable packaging. This embodiment of the invention relates to a multi-layer stack of elevator components, wherein the respective layers of the elevator components are separated from one another by fixing structures and held in their installed position. The top layer of the elevator components is covered and held by the cover structure. The fixing structures or the cover structure can also contain drawers or compartments for small parts. "Reusable design" in this context means that the corresponding components are made of one material and in one construction so durable that they still fulfill their function despite being used multiple times. By designing the base plate, the fixing structures and the cover structure as reusable packaging, the advantages described above for the use of reusable packaging can be utilized.

The order picking and warehousing process is simplified in the elevator manufacturer's operations. In the goods receiving area for purchased parts, the elevator components delivered there can be placed directly into a suitable reusable packaging material provided there and sent to the goods dispatch area together with this. The purchased parts are then already picked for an order. The packaging materials can also be used for internal transport in this way. There is no need to repack the purchased parts multiple times. Intermediate storage in an operational interim storage facility is not necessary. Alternatively, the reusable packaging materials filled with supplied elevator components and parts can also be brought from the incoming goods department to production so that any missing in-house manufactured parts can be placed in the packaging material and the fully assembled packaging material can then be brought to the outgoing goods department. Here, too, there is no need for multiple storage and transport of elevator components and parts.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the elevator components of the shaft installations and the elevator components of the shaft head are placed in one of the packages. The elevator components of the shaft installations and the elevator components of the shaft head are installed together in one assembly step at one installation location. For this reason, it makes sense to combine these elevator components in one package.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the elevator components for a shaft pit, the elevator components of the visible parts and at least some of the elevator components of a supporting structure are placed in one of the packages. The elevator components for a shaft pit, the visible parts and at least some of the elevator components of a supporting structure are installed together in one assembly step at one installation location. For this reason, it is sensible to combine these elevator components in one package.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a counterweight frame as an elevator component, at least partially a support structure as an elevator component and at least one front as an elevator component are inserted into one of the packages. The elevator components of the counterweight frame, at least partially the elevator components of the support structure and at least one front are installed together in one assembly step at one installation location. For this reason, it is sensible to combine these elevator components in one package.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a control unit is inserted into one of the packages as an elevator component. The elevator components of the control unit are installed together in one assembly step at one installation location. For this reason, it makes sense to combine these elevator components in one package.

According to one embodiment of the invention, doors are inserted into one of the packages as elevator components. The doors are installed together in one assembly step at one installation location. For this reason, it makes sense to combine these elevator components in one package.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a drive mechanism and ropes are inserted into one of the packages as elevator components. The elevator components drive mechanism and ropes are installed together in one assembly step at one installation location. For this reason, it makes sense to combine these elevator components in one package.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the assembly aids, tools and/or technical documentation required for assembling the elevator components contained in the package at an installation location are also placed in a package. The availability of these parts simplifies assembly, and the effort required to search for missing parts and work interruptions due to missing parts are avoided.

According to one embodiment of the invention, receptacles are formed in the base plate and/or the fixing structure into which further elevator components are inserted, in which these are also held in a defined position in a form-fitting manner, and/or receptacles are formed on the cover structure with which the cover structure holds the uppermost part of the elevator components in a defined position relative to one another. The receptacles are specially designed formations that support the positional fixation of the elevator components in reusable packaging.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the elevator components belonging to a package are placed in several layers on top of each other on a base plate, with intermediate floor parts being placed between different layers of the elevator components on the fixing structures of a respective layer, which simultaneously serve as the floor for the layer of elevator components located above. The intermediate floor parts can compensate for height differences and/or cavities between different elevator components.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the base plate is used as a transport frame for the elevator components belonging to a package in production.

By using the base plate in production, the elevator components can be placed or stacked directly on it after they have been completed. Multiple repacking of the elevator components during production and shipping is no longer necessary.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the base plate, the intermediate floor parts, the cover structure and the at least one fixing structure are made of pure materials. The pure materials simplify the recycling of the elevator components in question at the end of their service life.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the packaging used is assembled into a closed container after the elevator components belonging to a package have been inserted, which is closed using a locking device. In a container that is closed on the periphery, the elevator components are better protected against transport damage and weather influences. The locking device also ensures that the elevator components are stored in the packaging in a way that prevents theft.

According to one embodiment of the invention, after the elevator components have been removed from the package, foldable elements present on the base plate, the cover structure, the intermediate floor parts and/or the at least one fixing structure are folded together to reduce the volume of the empties for the return. The foldable elements reduce the volume of the empties. These can then be transported back to the elevator manufacturer's factory with less effort and less environmental impact.

According to one embodiment of the invention, loading aids are formed on the package, via which the packages are transported internally with loading aids and loaded onto and unloaded from transport vehicles. In order to be able to move the elevator components in the package, forklifts, cranes, pallet trucks, hydraulically operated tail lifts and the like are required. The loading aids make it easier to grasp and move the packages with the loading aids. The loading aids can be, for example, base feet that are formed on the underside of a floor plate so that a forklift can reach under the floor plate with its forks, hooks to which support cables can be attached, or loops by which a package can be lifted from the side or from above.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the base plate, the cover structure, the intermediate floor parts and/or the at least one fixing structure are coated with a protective layer made of plastic. The protective layer made of plastic protects both the parts coated with it and the elevator components against possible damage.

It is pointed out that the above-mentioned embodiments of the invention are each individually, but also among themselves, related to the subject matter of the Claim 1 and the other subclaims can be combined, provided that there are no technical obstacles to this and no mandatory dependencies exist.

Further modifications and embodiments of the invention can be found in the claims, the description and the drawings.

The invention will be explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments. They show:

In Fig.1 an allocation matrix is shown in which the assembly of an elevator system has been divided into a number of assembly steps M1 to M5. In assembly step M1, for example, the shaft fittings and a shaft head can be installed in an elevator shaft. In assembly step M2, for example, the shaft pit, visible parts and parts of the supporting structure are installed in the elevator shaft. Then, in assembly step M3, for example, the counterweight frame, another part of the supporting structure and the fronts are assembled. In assembly step M4, for example, the electronic control system can be installed. In assembly step M5, for example, the doors are then assembled on the individual floors of the building in which the elevator shaft is located.

For each of the assembly steps M - in the example, assembly steps M1 to M5 - elevator components K are required in order to be able to complete the respective assembly step M. In order to be able to provide the elevator components K required for an assembly step M1 to M5, these must be assigned to a respective assembly step M1 to M5. In the Fig.1 In the embodiment shown, for example, the elevator components K11, K12, K13, K14 and K1 _N are assigned to the assembly step M1, whereby the index "N" of the elevator component K1 _N stands for any number of further elevator components that are required for this assembly step M1. In the same way, the elevator components K21, K22, K23 and K2 _N are assigned to the assembly step M2. The elevator components K31 and K3 _N are assigned to the assembly step M3. The elevator components K41, K42, K43 and K4 _N are required for the assembly step M4, and finally, the elevator components K51, K52, K53, K54 and K5 _N are required to complete assembly step M5.

After the individual elevator components K have been assigned to a respective assembly step M, it is determined which of the elevator components K are to be packed in a specific package P and which packaging materials VM are intended for the packaging of the respective elevator components K. In the Fig.1 In the embodiment shown, for example, the elevator components K11 and K12 are packed in the packaging VM11 and the elevator components K13, K14 and K1 _N are packed in the packaging VM12. The two packagings VM11, VM12 belong to the package P1. The same procedure is followed with the remaining elevator components K.

As can be seen from the illustration in Fig.1 As can be seen, package P2 contains the packaging materials VM 21, VM22, VM 23 and VM 31. Package P2 therefore contains the elevator components K for assembly steps M2 and M3. Package P3 is special in that package P3 is divided into two sub-packages P31 and P32, which can be delivered and unpacked separately at a construction site if required.

For most of the Fig.1 The packaging material VM shown is intended for reusable use, which in Fig.1 is indicated by the reusable cycle 2. Only the packaging materials VM21, VM42 and VM51 are excluded from the reusable cycle 2. The packaging materials VM, which are in a reusable cycle 2 are used, after the elevator components K have been packed into the packaging materials VM and packages P, they are first taken from the production site to the installation location of the elevator system. After the elevator components K have been unpacked on the construction site at the installation location of the elevator system, the packaging materials VM are transported back to the production site to be re-equipped with elevator components K, packed into packages P and delivered to another construction site. The production site can be the production site of a supplier or the elevator manufacturer. If the packaging materials VM are brought to a supplier, the corresponding packaging materials VM can be used as transport packaging for the onward delivery of the elevator components to the elevator manufacturer, so that no further packaging materials are required on this transport route. The packaging materials VM can also be used for the internal transport and storage of the elevator components at the elevator manufacturer and/or supplier. In this way, the packaging materials VM used in the reusable cycle 2 are used multiple times. Due to multiple uses, the packaging materials VM can be designed more elaborately so that they offer a sufficiently long service life for use and good protection for the elevator components placed therein.

The elevator components K11 can be the components for the shaft installations and the elevator components K12 can be the components for the shaft head as elevator components K. The elevator components K21 can be the components for a shaft pit, the elevator components K22 can be the components of the visible parts and the elevator components K23 can at least partially be the components of a supporting structure as elevator components K. The elevator component K31 can be a counterweight frame and the elevator components K3 _N can at least partially be components of the supporting structure and at least one front. The elevator component K41 can be a control system. The elevator component K51 can be doors. Furthermore, a drive mechanism and ropes can be inserted into one of the packages P as elevator components K. Finally, a package P can also contain the assembly aids, tools and/or technical documentation required for assembling the elevator components K contained in the package P at an installation location.

The Fig. 2 shows a view from above of a reusable packaging 4. In the reusable packaging 4, two layers L are stacked to a stack height S of the reusable packaging 4. On the top, the reusable packaging 4 is covered by a covering structure 10. The layers L are stacked on a pallet 12, over which the reusable packaging 4 can be easily moved with a forklift or a crane.

The Fig. 3 and 4 show examples of how the individual layers L can be formed. In Fig.3 a layer L of elevator components K is shown, which are placed on a reusable base plate 6. The Fig.3 The bottom plate 6 shown can also be designed and used as an intermediate floor part 14. On U-shaped fixing structures 8 are then placed on the base plate 6, which at least partially form-fit the elevator components K placed on the base plate 6 and hold them in a defined position relative to one another. It is of course also possible to first place the fixing structure 8 on the base plate 6 and only then insert the elevator components K, or the fixing structures 8 and the elevator components K are placed alternately on the base plate 6. The U-shaped fixing structures 8 shown have a simple basic geometric shape in the embodiment shown. In order to improve the fixation of the elevator components K, the shape of a fixing structure 8 can of course be adapted even more precisely to the geometries of the elevator components K to be fixed, in particular in a way in which the spatial shape of the elevator components is at least partially negatively reproduced in order to hold an elevator component K therein in a form-fit manner.

If a base plate 6 and/or a fixing structure 8 is again placed on the elevator components K and/or the fixing structure 8 located underneath, in order to place further base plates 6, fixing structures 8 and/or elevator components K on top of it, a stack is created that can be moved and stored as a packaging unit. The stacking of several layers L can be repeated as often as required until a desired stack height S is reached. The base plate(s) 6, the fixing structure(s) 8 and/or the cover structure 10 together form a reusable packaging 4 and can be used as such.

In Fig.4 a fixing structure 8 is shown, which in the embodiment has a total of 16 equally sized compartments. In Fig. 4a is that in Fig.4 shown fixing structure 8 is shown folded up. When folded up, the fixing structure 8 requires less storage space when being transported back from the construction site to the production site. A base plate 6 and/or a cover structure 10 can also be designed so that their volume is variable in order to reduce the transport volume when being transported back. The storage and transport of empty base plates 6, fixing structure 8 and cover structure 10 is thus more resource-efficient. In the embodiment, the fixing structure 8 can be folded up like a scissor gate. The fixing structure 8 can be folded up on a Fig.4 not shown base plate 6 or on a pallet 12, which then forms a base plate 6. The compartments can be dimensioned so that elevator components are held in a form-fitting manner. The individual walls of the compartments can be moved or individually removed in order to be able to change the size of the compartments to accommodate different elevator components K. A fixing structure 8 can also be designed as a modular system in which various components are available in order to put together a fixing structure 8 suitable for a particular packaging case.

The lower layer L of the Fig.2 shown reusable packaging 4 can be used in Fig.4 shown fixing structure 8, which is placed on the pallet underneath. In fact, in the lower layer L of the Fig.2 shown reusable packaging 4 some elevator components K are shown, which are not covered by the Fig. 4, 4a shown fixing structures, while the upper layer L consists of the Fig.3 shown combination of a base plate 6, several fixing structures 8 and a number of elevator components K. In order to create a closed container for the packaging means VM used after the elevator components K belonging to a package P have been inserted, the reusable packaging 4 can be provided with side walls 16. The reusable packaging 4 can also be provided with locking means (not shown in detail in the drawing) in order to secure it against unauthorized access. Locks can be considered as locking means, for example.

In terms of drawing, Fig. 2 - 4a not shown in more detail that receptacles can be formed in the base plate 6 and/or the fixing structure 8, into which further elevator components K are inserted. The elevator components K can also be held in a defined position in a form-fitting manner in the receptacles. The same applies to the cover structure 10, whereby the cover structure 10 can fix the uppermost part of the elevator components K in a defined position relative to one another. The receptacles can be formed as a flat contact surface, but indentations or recesses in the base plate 6 and/or the fixing structure 8 are also possible, with which inserted elevator components K are held in a spatial position.

The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. It will not be difficult for a person skilled in the art to modify the embodiments in a manner that he considers appropriate in order to adapt them to a specific application.
