Abstract

Invention belongs to the domain of load transportation, namely to many-storied structure devices, adapted to transport cars, especially motor cars by sea and ground transportation means. Car transportation equipment is installed in the load area of transportation and has a multi-storey structure with vertical and horizontal car loading and unloading means. The multi-storey structure consists of horizontal rails placed one above another, intended for car parking, moving and immobilising. And thought It's length afore mentioned structure has at least one vertical car loading and unloading area, the length of which is shorter than the length of a being transported car. Rails are trough shape and in unloading area are removable.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of cargo transportation, namely to multi-storey construction equipment adapted for transporting cars, especially passenger cars, by ships and by rail or road transport.

There is a known cargo ship with a cargo hold in the hold, a device comprising support beams and high decks made of removable sections (see description of USSR Invention No. 1474753).

The disadvantage of this device is its limited applicability, i. y. this unit shall be used for the design of cargo ships and shall be installed in the hold of a ship for the purpose of constructing a cargo ship. The known equipment is not designed to be used for the carriage of goods by other types of ships or other means of transport.

Known single deck cargo ship, fitted with a device for carrying all kinds of cargo, with a cargo hold fitted with a set of panels fixed in vertical and horizontal positions, a multi-storey superstructure, a stern-mounted ship and a crane a loading device (see the description of Russian Patent No. 2057677).

v

The well-known device is a sophisticated design and can only be used in the design and manufacture of heavy-duty cargo ships. For the transport of passenger cars by this cargo ship, they are loaded onto the ship by land vehicles on deck and carried on to the next deck by cranes mounted on board. Thus, loading of cargoes, especially cars, on this type of cargo ship requires special quays, apparatus and ramps.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a multi-storey multi-storey car transport unit that can be adapted to carry light duty vehicles, rail and road vehicles without the need for special conditions and sophisticated equipment for loading vehicles.

The essence of the solution to this problem is that, in a vehicle transport unit equipped with a vehicle cargo space and having a multi-storey structure with vertical and horizontal loading and unloading means, said multi-storey structure is comprised of high-level horizontal rails for parking, moving and securing having at least one pair of rails on the floor, and having at least one vertical loading / unloading area of the car, the length of said structure being not less than the length of the vehicle being transported.

The structure proposed according to the invention, especially when installed on board, does not require special berths, apparatus or ramps for loading and unloading cars. Loading / unloading is carried out by a crane on the ground in one or more vertical loading zones along the length of the structure, and the vehicles are moved horizontally by longitudinal rails.

The rails are removable in the vertical loading / unloading area for full load space.

The rails are trough-shaped to prevent vehicles from turning transversely during transport.

In the vertical loading / unloading area, removable platforms may be provided instead of rails.

The invention is explained in more detail by the drawings showing schematic views of the onboard car transporter.

Fig. 1 is a side view of a car transport device;

Fig.2 is a rear view of the vehicle conveyor;

Fig.3 is a cross-section of the rail.

The lorry carrier is comprised of outer and inner pillars 1 and 2 fixedly fixed to the vehicle (ship) hull and arranged in the cargo area of the vehicle in transverse and longitudinal rows, for example above the ship's deck. The posts 1 and 2 are located on top of each other in transverse rows of cargo space, with transverse support beams 3 on top of each other, on which horizontal longitudinal rails 4 are mounted and secured, forming high pairs of rails in the cargo space for parking, moving and securing cars. At least one selected section between the uprights forming adjacent transverse rows has a vertical loading / unloading zone 5 for cars of at least the length of the vehicle to be loaded, and the rails 6 in this zone are removable (removable platforms may be provided instead). , ie in zone 5 the rails are attached to the beams 3 with the possibility of removing them. In the remainder of the load space, rails 4 may be fixed to beams 3 permanently. The rails 4 are trough shaped, the edges of which prevent the car being transported from sliding across.

Loading and unloading of the vehicle, when the vehicle conveyor according to the invention is installed on board, is carried out as follows. In the loading zone 5, removable rails 6 are provided to provide free space for vertical loading of cars in said zone 5. The truck loading crane on the ground first lowers the transported vehicle in the loading zone 5 and then moves it forward (or backward) so that fill the first row on the deck. The cars are then parked similarly in loading area 5 to further widthwise longitudinal rows, filling the entire deck. After rows of cars fill the entire deck, the removable rails 6 of the first floor of the structure are attached, connecting them to the fixed rails located on this floor. The crane is then loaded similarly in the zone 5 to other cars on removable rails 6 (or platforms) in the first row and pushed stationary rails forward (or backward) to fill the first row of the first floor of the structure, then analogously to the first floor below in width. pairs of rails. After filling the cars by width and length, the first floor of the structure is removable and fixed to the second floor of the structure 6. By analogy, the cars are loaded to the second floor. When the entire cargo space is filled with cars, the wheels of the cars are attached to the rails (not shown in the drawing). The cars are unloaded in the reverse order they were loaded, i.e. the second floor is first unloaded by crane, then the second floor detachable rails 6 located in the loading area are unloaded and the first floor is unloaded, and the cars are then unloaded from the deck.
