JPH07330169A - Cargo handling equipment for small container carrier - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a cargo handling equipment for a small container carrier which is capable of handling a container not at a pier exclusive for the container handling, but, e.g. at a public pier or the like, and is not provided with a large on-board cargo handling equipment such as an on-board gantry crane where the stability of a ship or the heeling of the hull due to the movement of the container during the cargo handling is a problem. CONSTITUTION:A cargo handling equipment consists of a cargo handling equipment 12 arranged on a pier 1, a lifter equipment 3 which temporarily support a container C carried by a cargo handling device 12 provided on board a ship in an elevatable manner and an on-board shifter equipment 4, and the shifter equipment 4 to carry the container between the lifter equipment 3 and the position to store the container.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cargo handling facility for small container ships.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Unit loading of cargo represented by containers is very effective in improving transportation efficiency, rationalizing various operations on the quay, and improving safety.
A container-only quay equipped with a container crane or a ship gantry crane is required as cargo handling equipment.

However, since there is a limitation in providing a large cargo handling facility such as a ship gantry crane on a small ship such as a coastal ship, a small container ship is not widely used.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is not to use a container-only quay but to carry a container at a public quay, for example. An object of the present invention is to provide a loading and unloading apparatus for a small container ship that does not have a large onboard loading facility such as an onboard gantry crane in which the stability of the ship and the inclination of the hull due to the movement of the container during loading and unloading pose problems.

[0005]

[MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] A cargo handling facility for a small container ship according to the present invention which achieves the above-mentioned object, is carried by a cargo handling device arranged on a quay, and the cargo handling device and a shifter device on the ship which are vertically movable in a ship. The present invention is characterized by comprising a lifter device for temporarily supporting the container that has been moved, and a shifter device for transporting the container between the lifter device and the container storage position.

[0006]

The container carried by the cargo handling device arranged on the quay is temporarily placed on the lifter device in the ship. The container on the lifter device is transported to a predetermined position on the boat by a shifter device arranged on the ship. At the time of unloading, the container is placed on the lifter device by the shifter device.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a reach stacker 12 having a container handling device 11 such as a spreader is arranged on the quay 1 on which the small container ship 2 is docked.
In the figure, 13 indicates a counterweight vehicle connected to the rear portion of the reach stacker 12.

On the other hand, inside the small container ship 2, there is a lifter device 3 for temporarily supporting the container C carried by the reach stacker 12 and a shifter device 4 described later. This lifter device 3 is
It is composed of a container cradle 31 and a plurality of hydraulic cylinders 32 for moving the container cradle 31 up and down.

The above-mentioned shifter device 4 comprises a ceiling shifter 42 that moves in the front-rear direction of the ship on the hatchside rails 41 of the small container ship 2, a traverse trolley 43 that traverses the ceiling shifter 42, and this traverse trolley. 43
It is composed of a spreader 44 hanging from the. In the figure, 46 is a cell guide arranged in the boat 45, and 47 is a cell guide.
Indicates a hatch cover.

Next, a container loading operation will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the reach stacker 12 lifts the container C from the carrier 5. The reach stacker 12 that has lifted the container C advances to the end of the quay 1 after the carrier 5 moves. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the reach stacker 12 lowers the container C on the container pedestal 31 of the lifter device 3.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the container cradle 3
1 descends to a position where the movement of the ceiling shifter 42 is not hindered. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the spreader 44 of the shifter device 4 automatically lifts the container C on the container pedestal 31 and moves it to a predetermined position. During this time, the quay 1
Then, the reach stacker 12 prepares to mount the next container.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the ceiling shifter 42 and the traverse trolley 43 of the shifter device 4 move to load the containers C at predetermined positions. Meanwhile, the next container stands by on the container cradle 31 of the lifter device 3. Although the container loading operation has been described above, the container loading / unloading operation may be performed in the reverse order of the container loading operation, and thus the description thereof is omitted. However, during the unloading work, the container C transported by the shifter device 4 is temporarily placed on the pedestal 31 of the lifter device 3.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the container can be loaded and unloaded by the loading and unloading device having the container handling device such as the reach stacker, the container loading and unloading can be carried out not on the exclusive container wharf, for example on the public wharf. Become. Moreover, the present invention does not require a large cargo handling facility with a high center of gravity on the ship, and since the cargo handling equipment on board does not swing the container out of the port during cargo handling, the stability of the ship and the container handling during cargo handling The container inclination can be safely and efficiently handled without causing the problem of the inclination of the hull due to movement.
