Abstract

PURPOSE:To receive and deliver a freight between the vehicles arranged in parallel by installing each belt conveyor for the transverse transportation, onto a vehicle. CONSTITUTION:When a freight 9 transported by a railroad wagon 3 is transferred onto a truck at a collection and delivery terminal, a large-sized truck 4 is arranged in parallel to the left side of the railroad wagon 3. After the belt conveyors 6 of the both vehicles are raised by a lift 7, the freight 9 is transferred onto the large-sized truck 4 by driving the belt conveyor 6 leftward at an equal speed. After the belt conveyor 6 is stopped, the freight is lowered by the lift 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a system for efficiently transferring cargo in a transportation mode that combines truck transportation and rail freight transportation.

(Prior Technology) Generally, cargo is transferred between trucks and railway freight cars at a collection and delivery terminal such as a freight station, and forklifts and cranes are used as the loading equipment for transfer.
Collection and delivery times were concentrated, resulting in long waiting times and inefficiency during peak hours.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by equipping trucks and railway freight cars with a belt conveyor, which is loading equipment, so that vehicles can be arranged in parallel to efficiently transfer cargo. This is what I did.

(Example) Below, it will be explained with reference to the drawings. 1 is a collection and delivery terminal;
Railway freight car 3 is stopped on track 2.

4 is a large truck, 5 is a small truck, and the railway freight car 3 and both trucks 4 and 5 are each provided with an endless belt conveyor 6 in the lateral direction. These belt conveyors 6 are driven by an appropriate drive device (not shown), and the upper part is connected to the support frame 1 of the belt conveyor 6.
The lift 7, such as a hydraulic cylinder, is connected to the chassis 1 and has its lower part fixed to the chassis 12, and can be moved up and down with respect to the chassis 12. Further, reference numeral 8 denotes a cargo fixing device, and when the cargo 9 is a container, twist lock fittings are provided corresponding to its four corners. IO is a jack that is installed on the small truck 5 (it can also be installed on the large truck 4 if necessary) to adjust the conveyor height and improve stability when transferring to another vehicle. .

Next, to explain the operation of the present invention, when transferring the cargo 9 transported by the railway freight car 3 to a truck at the collection and delivery terminal, the large truck 4 (or Stop the small truck 5),
After the belt conveyors 6 of both vehicles are raised by the lift 7, the baggage 9 is transferred to the large truck 4 by driving the belt conveyor 6 to the left at a constant speed, and after the belt conveyor 6 stops, it is lifted by the lift 7. When transferring the cargo from the large truck 4 to the railway freight car 3 by lowering it (fixing it with the cargo fixing device 8 if necessary), it is preferable to reverse the procedure.

In addition, when delivering cargo between the large truck 4 and the small truck 5, both trucks are placed side by side, and the small truck 5
After extending the jack 10 and raising the belt conveyor 6 with the lift 7 so that the top surfaces are aligned, both belt conveyors 6 are driven in the transfer direction (the subsequent explanation of the operation is the same as in the previous case). omission).

If the collection and delivery terminal 1 is wide in the horizontal direction of the track 2 due to location conditions, a large truck 4 and a small truck 5 are installed in the railway freight car 3.
are parked in parallel, and each elevated belt conveyor 6 is driven to transport the railway freight car 3 and a distant vehicle, that is, a small truck 5.
The cargo 9 is delivered to and from the large truck 4 via the large truck 4, and after the small truck 5 departs first, the cargo 9 is delivered to and from the large truck 4 adjacent to the railway freight car 3.

In this embodiment, the delivery of the cargo 9 at the collection/delivery terminal 1 has been described, but the delivery can also be made at other locations, that is, only between trucks.

Further, although the lift 7 is constructed of a hydraulic cylinder, it may be combined with a known link mechanism such as a parallel link.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, it is possible to transfer cargo without a forklift or crane, and the waiting time is reduced because the transfer can be carried out by the vehicle itself.Also, by using a belt conveyor, cargo can be transferred. It produces less vibration and is less prone to shifting, and can be used to transfer not only containers and palletized cargo, but also bulk cargo that has not been palletized.
