Description

Traverse technical area

The invention relates to a traverse, in particular for lifting or transporting aggregates, elements or parts of a caster, such as molds, segments o.a., According to the preamble of claim 1.

State of the art

In particular, in castings are usually used in some cases very heavy aggregates, elements and / or their parts to produce cast products in the broadest sense. Such aggregates, elements and / or parts thereof, for example, segments of the casting plant or a mold or the like or parts thereof. In the usual operation of such a casting plant, in particular in a slab or Dünnbrammengießanlage or in a Langproduktgießanlage for so-called long products, it is typically necessary to expand these aggregates or elements and / or their parts at least from time to time, to wait, to repair to swap and / or reinstall in the system. In the case of a detected defect or excessive wear, this can also be unexpectedly and very suddenly necessary.

It is essential that these units or elements and / or parts thereof, for example, lifted and / or transported, which, taking into account the sometimes very significant weight at some but also very large volume and also in this respect to be operated security arrangements not one insignificant effort means.

Typically, these aggregates or elements and / or their parts are lifted and / or transported by crane in an operating hall of a casting plant or in the workshop or maintenance area. The lifting or transport can advantageously be carried out in a workshop or on the casting platform of the Anita ge done. In this case, for example, to a crane hook of a crane, a so-called traverse mounted, to which in turn hangs the corresponding unit to be transported, element and / or parts thereof or, for example, is rotatably mounted. In practice, a large variety of trusses is used, with a separate custom traverse is used for each unit and for each element and / or their parts. However, this also means a variety of vorzuhaltenden and also to be stored trusses, which ultimately increases the cost of the operation of the system not insignificant and also causes a considerable amount of space for storage of this variety of trusses. Since the trusses can also be damaged, the repair of a large number of trusses is necessary, which in turn drives the costs.

Such trusses are known in the prior art.

EP 1506 066 B1 discloses a two-part cross member which is formed in each case only from a hook-like element and chains arranged therebetween with connecting rods per chain link.

A traverse with a beam-like design also discloses the JP 2001-252752 and also DE 29 08476 A1.

These trusses in the prior art are adapted to the task optimally and can not be used for any even changing loads to carry them, which occur due to the changing needs for transport or for carrying aggregates and / or elements.

Presentation of the invention, object, solution, advantages It is the object of the invention to provide a crossbar which can be used in a variety of ways and which can also carry and handle various occurring loads.

This is achieved with the features of claim 1, according to which a traverse is provided in particular a traverse for suspension and / or transport of an aggregate, an element and / or parts thereof, in particular casting systems, with at least one load cross member and a receiving element for the engagement of a hook, wherein furthermore at least two load side members are provided, which are attached to the end regions of the at least one load cross member, wherein at central areas of the at least two load side members articulated receiving means are arranged for receiving the at least one unit, element and / or at least part of it. It is expedient if the traverse can be used in particular in a workshop area of a casting plant.

It is also advantageous if at least one opening, preferably a plurality of openings for receiving chains or other connecting elements for fastening and / or carrying an aggregate, element and / or at least a part thereof are provided on at least one end region of the load side member.

It is also expedient if the at least one opening or a plurality of openings, but preferably a plurality of openings, is arranged on a projecting area provided for this purpose below the load side member.

Furthermore, it is expedient if the protruding region is formed below the load side member in the manner of a sheet. This area can also be designed in the manner of a plate or a rail, which is connected to the load side member or integrally formed. ^'

According to a further concept, it is advantageous if the at least one load cross member is connected with its respective end region, each with a load side member.

It is also expedient if the receiving element is connected to the at least one load cross member by means of at least one retaining clip, preferably with two retaining clips.

Advantageous developments and refinements emerge from the following description of the figures and / or from the subclaims.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

1 shows a cross member 1 for carrying or transporting at least one load, such as an aggregate or an element or a related part, in particular a casting, wherein the cross member 1 is a receiving element 2 for receiving the cross member 1 at a not shown Crane hook of a crane has. The traverse can also be otherwise connected to a lifting device. The traverse has at least one load crossmember 3 connected to the receiving element 2, on which receiving means 5 arranged or held and arranged on the end regions 4 of the at least one load crossmember 3 via load side girders 8 for receiving aggregates, elements and / or parts (not shown) thereof are provided.

The receiving element 2 is connected to the at least one load cross member 3 via two laterally arranged and spaced holding brackets 7. The support bracket 7 are preferably connected to the at least one load cross member 3, such as welded, screwed, riveted oa The receiving element 2 is arranged above the load cross member 3, so that a crane hook can preferably engage from above on the receiving element 2 and the cross member 1 a An article or device, such as an aggregate, preferably from below, can carry and transport. The receiving means 5 for receiving a heavy load are designed such that they have two parallel leg-like elements 5a, 5b, which are held articulated by a bearing 5c. In this case, a bolt 5d is provided in the region of the bearing 5c, which in turn is held in two spaced leg-like elements 5e, 5f. These two leg-like elements are connected to the load side member in the central central region or to the load cross member in a respective end region.

Between the leg-like elements 5a, 5b, a bolt 5g connecting these elements is furthermore provided, to which a load can be tilted. The bolt can be used advantageously between the leg-like elements 5a, 5b and also removed again, so that, for example, a chain o.a. can be used or removed again. For example, the bolt can be screwed into the elements or merely inserted into an opening of the elements and secured in position.
