    The invention relates to a self-propelled transport vehicle, in particular for the transport of persons.
    From US 5,322,408 B and US 5,499,694 B movable lifting devices are known with a platform for people.
    The lifting devices for persons known from US Pat. No. 5,322,408 B and US Pat. No. 5,499,694 B have the disadvantage that it is particularly difficult for persons in a wheelchair to reach the platform of the lifting devices.
    The object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a lifting device by means of which a user can be transported with ease.
    This object is achieved by a vehicle according to the claims.
    According to the invention, a self-propelled transport vehicle is formed. The transport vehicle comprises a chassis, which extends with respect to its length in a direction of travel and extends with respect to its width transversely to the direction of travel, wherein at least three wheels are arranged on the chassis, which wheels are aligned in the unsteered state in the direction of travel; an energy supply device incorporated in the chassis; a lifting device which is coupled to the chassis; a transport platform which is displaceable by means of the lifting device in the vertical direction relative to the chassis between a lowered position and a raised position. The transport platform is displaceable in the direction of travel relative to the chassis between a receiving position and a transport position.
    An advantage of the inventive design of the transport vehicle is that can be achieved by the displaceability of the transport platform relative to the chassis that the transport platform for loading and unloading can be lowered to the ground, or to dock on, for example, an aircraft can. In the transport position, the transport platform can be positioned over the chassis in order to achieve the lowest possible and central overall center of gravity of the transport vehicle while driving and thus increase the tipping stability and thus also the vehicle safety.
    Furthermore, it may be expedient if the transport platform in the receiving position seen in the direction of travel before or behind the chassis is lowered to the ground. The advantage here is that thereby the transport platform for easier access of persons with reduced mobility, such as wheelchair users, is suitable. In particular, by this measure persons with reduced mobility can enter the transport platform without having to negotiate high levels from the ground.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the transport platform is received in the transport position at least partially within the projected base of the chassis. The advantage here is that by this measure the center of gravity of the transport platform can be placed as far as possible within the chassis and thereby the stability of the transport vehicle is improved.
    In addition, it can be provided that the transport platform is accommodated in the transport position at least to 70%, preferably entirely, within the projected base of the chassis and is arranged above the chassis. The advantage here is that on the one hand during the ferry operation, the focus of the transport platform can be centrally placed over the base of the chassis. On the other hand, the transport platform is bounded by the chassis by this training. As a result, the transport platform is protected by the chassis, for example, when an impact on an obstacle. In addition, by this measure in the transport position the
    External dimensions of the transport vehicle are kept as low as possible in order to increase the maneuverability and flexibility of the transport vehicle.
    Also advantageous is an expression according to which it can be provided that an adjustment path of the transport platform between the receiving position and the transport position is between 30% and 200%, in particular between 50% and 100%, preferably between 65% and 95% of the length of the chassis , By choosing the adjustment in this size range can be achieved that the transport platform can be sufficiently moved relative to the chassis to ensure safe transport of people in the transport position and thereby achieve easier boarding in the transport platform can.
    According to a further development, it is possible that the transport platform is rotatable relative to a chassis relative to a floating axis. The advantage here is that the transport platform can be rotated, for example, for docking with an aircraft in order to adapt to the shape of the fuselage.
    Furthermore, it may be expedient that the transport platform is arranged coupled to the lifting device and thereby different transport platforms can be accommodated on the lifting device. The advantage here is that one and the same transport vehicle, for example, can accommodate a transport platform with a closed cabin for transporting passengers and that can be coupled to the same transport vehicle, for example, an open transport platform for receiving maintenance personnel.
    In addition, it can be provided that a driver's cab for controlling the self-propelled transport vehicle is arranged on the transport platform. The advantage here is that the operator to steer the transport vehicle can be located directly on the transport platform and thus can have a good overview of the transport platform and the people or cargo transported thereon.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that is arranged as a drive means for moving the transport platform relative to the chassis, at this stretched between a pulley and a drive roller traction means, in particular toothed belt, and that the lifting device is coupled to the traction means and by means of this relative to the chassis between the Receiving position and the transport position is displaced. Furthermore, it can be provided that traction means is stretched between two pulleys and is driven by a drive means, such as another drive roller. The advantage here is that such a traction means is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and also has a high positioning accuracy.
    According to a particular embodiment, it is possible that the lifting device is designed to be telescopic. The advantage here is that the maximum lifting height of the passenger transport device can be increased by the teleskopierba-ho lifting device, but without having to increase the overall height of the transport vehicle in the driving condition.
    According to an advantageous development it can be provided that a rail system is arranged on the chassis and that on the lifting device, a guide carriage is arranged with at least four guide rollers, which cooperate with the rail system. The advantage here is that such a rail system, which cooperates with a guide carriage, is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and beyond a high displacement can be achieved by means of the guide rail system.
    In particular, it may be advantageous if a platform plane is formed on the chassis above which the transport platform is arranged in the transport position, wherein the platform level is arranged above all wheels. The advantage here is that the platform level above all wheels is arranged and thus the transport platform can have a maximum width which corresponds to the width of the chassis or which extends over the width of the chassis.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that a front pair of wheels and a rear pair of wheels are arranged on the chassis, wherein at least one of the pairs of wheels is steerable. The advantage here is that the chassis by the front pair of wheels and the rear pair of wheels in contrast to the use of only three wheels has the widest possible tilting edge and thus the safety of the transport vehicle is increased.
    In addition, it can be provided that the energy supply device is arranged between the front pair of wheels and the rear pair of wheels and below the platform level on the chassis. The advantage here is that by this measure the center of gravity of the chassis can be kept as central as possible and deep on the chassis so that the tipping stability of the transport vehicle can be improved.
    Also advantageous is an expression according to which it can be provided that the transport platform can be parked in the transport position on the platform level or on the rail system. By this measure can be achieved that for driving the transport vehicle, the transport platform can be parked on the platform level and thus there is no movement or vibration of the transport platform relative to the chassis by the driving movement. In addition, it can be avoided by this measure that in case of breaking the lifting device while driving the transport vehicle, the transport platform falls onto the chassis or on the ground. In addition, the load which acts on the lifting device from the transport platform can be reduced during the movement of the transport vehicle.
    According to a development, it is possible that the width of the chassis is between 50% and 100%, in particular between 60% and 90%, preferably between 65% and 75% of the length of the chassis. The advantage here is that a chassis with such a ratio of length to width can have an advantageous space with high tilt stability of the transport vehicle.
    Furthermore, it may be expedient if, viewed in the direction of travel, an entry opening is arranged on the transport platform in front. The advantage here is that the transport vehicle in the direction of travel to a transfer object, such as an aircraft, can be approached and docked to this.
    In addition, it can be provided that a docking ramp is arranged on the transport platform, which is displaceable relative to the transport platform in the direction of travel. The advantage here is that such a docking ramp can serve to hersteilen a transition between the transport platform and the aircraft can.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the transport platform is displaceable relative to the chassis transversely to the direction of travel. The advantage here is that by this measure, the transport platform can be moved laterally relative to the docking or the working position and thus inaccurate lateral positioning of the transport vehicle relative to the docking or the working position this inaccurate positioning can be compensated.
    According to a particular embodiment, it is possible that the lifting device has a mechanical safeguard, by means of which the transport platform can be secured against falling down in case of failure of the drive system. The advantage here is that by this measure the safety of the transport platform can be increased.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that supporting feet are arranged on the chassis. The support legs are preferably arranged as far as possible on the edge of the vehicle in order to increase the support function. In particular, it can be provided that the support legs are extended when the transport platform is to be raised. As a result, the tipping stability of the transport vehicle can be increased.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that an ascending ladder is arranged on the chassis in order to be able to reach the transport platform even in the transport position.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that on the underside of the transport platform, a fixing element is arranged, which cooperates with a arranged on the chassis counter element. As a result, the transport platform can be secured in the transport position and thus prevented that in an abrupt deceleration maneuver, the transport platform is unintentionally pushed forward relative to the chassis.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the transport vehicle can be controlled by means of a transmission means from a position remote from the transport vehicle. The advantage here is that the transport vehicle can be controlled from a fixed location. It can be provided that the transport vehicle is controlled by a person by means of a remote control. Alternatively, it can be provided that the transport vehicle leaves a predetermined route and is controlled, for example, by a computer.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the chassis has a suspension and optionally a damping. The advantage here is that the smoothness of the vehicle is increased in the process by the suspension and damping. This brings an increase in comfort, especially when transporting people. The suspension and the damping can be arranged between the wheels or axle suspensions and chassis.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that a distance between at least one of the wheels and the chassis is actively adjustable. The advantage here is that by this measure, the chassis can be leveled. This may be necessary in particular when lifting the transport platform in order to increase the stability of the transport vehicle.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the transport platform is so coupled to the lifting device, so that the transport platform relative to the lifting device is laterally displaceable and / or so that the transport platform is pivotable relative to the lifting device so that the transport platform is pivotable relative to the lifting device about a horizontal axis. The advantage here is that can be achieved by this measure that the transport platform to the
    Docking point or working position can be adjusted. A pivotability of the transport platform relative to the lifting device with respect to the vertical axis can be realized, for example, by arranging the transport platform by means of a bearing with a vertical axis, such as a bolt on the carriage of the lifting device. A displaceability of the transport platform relative to the lifting device can be realized, for example, by forming a horizontal guide rail between the transport platform and the carriage of the lifting device. A pivotability of the transport platform relative to the lifting device with respect to the horizontal axis can be realized, for example, by arranging the transport platform by means of a horizontal axis support, such as a pivot, on the carriage of the lifting device.
    In addition, it can be provided that the lifting device has a suspension and optionally a damping system by means of which vertical shocks between the chassis and transport platform can be sprung or damped. By means of this measure it can be achieved that excessive impacts or vibrations on the transport platform can be avoided during movement of the transport vehicle with the transport platform raised. Thus, the transport vehicle can be moved with raised transport platform.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the docking ramp is segmented and has a vertical pivot, wherein the front segment of the docking ramp is pivotable with respect to the rear segment of the docking ramp. As a result, an adaptation of the front segment of the docking ramp to the docking or working position can be adjusted.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the transport vehicle has exactly three wheels.
    In addition, it can be provided that the platform level is arranged at least 13 inches above the ground. As a result, sufficient functionality of the transport vehicle can be achieved.
    For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

    By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and these position information in a change in position mutatis mutandis to transfer to the new location.
    1 shows a perspective view of a self-propelled transport vehicle 1. Such a transport vehicle 1 as shown in Fig. 1, for example, can be used at airports to accommodate persons with reduced mobility from the ground 2 and to be able to carry an opening in the plane , In addition to the use at airports, the transport vehicle 1 can of course be used everywhere else where the transportation of people from the ground 2 to a higher level is necessary. In addition to the use of the transport vehicle 1 for the transport of persons, it is of course also conceivable that the transport vehicle 1 is used exclusively for the transport of objects.
    The transport vehicle 1 has a chassis 3, which extends over a length 4 and a width 5. In addition, at least three wheels 6 are arranged on the chassis 3, which serve to move the chassis 3. The wheels 6 are aligned in the unsteered state in a direction of travel 7, so that the transport vehicle 1 can move in the direction of travel 7. The direction of travel 7 runs parallel to the length 4 of the chassis. 3
    The length 4 of the chassis 3 may for example be between 2m and 8m, in particular between 3m and 5m, preferably between 3.5m and 4.5m.
    The width 5 of the chassis 3 may for example be between 1.5m and 4m, in particular between 2m and 3m, preferably between 2.3m and 2.8m
    In principle, it is of course conceivable that the transport vehicle 1 can move in both directions, both forward and backward, alike. However, it has proven to be practicable if the transport vehicle 1 is moved predominantly in one direction, namely in the direction of travel 7. The definition of the direction of travel 7 also results in a front side 8 and a rear side 9 of the transport vehicle 1.
    As further seen in Fig. 1, it can be provided that four wheels 6 are arranged on the chassis 3, whereby a front pair of wheels 10 and a rear pair of wheels 11 are formed. The individual wheels 6 of the front pair of wheels 10 or the rear pair of wheels 11 may be arranged for example by means of an independent suspension on the chassis 3. In another embodiment, it is conceivable that both the front wheel pair 10 and the rear wheel pair 11 are each arranged on a rigid axle.
    In yet another embodiment, it is conceivable that the front pair of wheels 10 is arranged on a rigid axle and the rear pair of wheels 11 is arranged on a pendulum arranged on the chassis 3 axis.
    In yet another embodiment, it is also conceivable that both the front pair of wheels 10 and the rear pair of wheels 11 are arranged on a pendulum on the chassis 3 recorded axis, wherein adjusting means may be provided, for example in the form of hydraulic cylinders, which outside of the pivot point between swinging suspended axle and chassis 3 are arranged and via which thus an angle between the pendulum arranged axis and the chassis 3 is adjustable. It is conceivable that the fulcrum between oscillating axis and chassis 3 is either the middle of the width 5 or alternatively also on one side of the chassis 3.
    Regardless of the inclusion of the wheels 6 on the chassis 3 can be provided that the wheels 6 of the front pair of wheels 10 are steerable.
    In a further embodiment, it can be provided that the wheels 6 of the rear wheel pair 11 are steerable.
    In yet another embodiment, it can be provided that both the wheels 6 of the front wheel pair 10 and the wheels 6 of the rear wheel pair 11 are steerable. A transport vehicle 1 with a steering both on the front pair of wheels 10 and the rear pair of wheels 11 has a very high flexibility and maneuverability.
    The individual wheels 6 may preferably have a dimensioning of at least 12 inches, in order to achieve an off-road capability of the transport vehicle 1 can. It can be provided that the wheels 6 are filled with air or with a rubber-elastic material of low density, such as polyurethane foam.
    In an alternative variant, it may be provided that the wheels 6 are designed in the form of solid rubber wheels in order to be able to prevent air loss and thus the risk of tipping of the transport vehicle 1.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the solid rubber wheels have recesses for damping the wheels.
    In a further embodiment variant can also be provided that the wheels are constructed of different layers and, for example, an inner layer of a hard rubber material, an intermediate layer of a softer material and an outer layer again of a harder and wear-resistant material.
    In yet another variant, not shown, it is also conceivable that a front pair of wheels 10 is formed and that on the rear side 9 of the chassis 3, a single wheel 6 is arranged.
    Furthermore, a transport platform 12 is provided, which is coupled by means of a lifting device 13 to the chassis 6.
    The transport platform 12 may, as shown in Fig. 1, have a closed cabin or alternatively may be formed as an open platform.
    Fig. 2 shows a further perspective view of the transport vehicle 1, wherein in turn the same reference numerals or component names are used as in the previous Fig. 1 for the same parts. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the preceding FIG.
    In the view of FIG. 2, the transport platform 12 is lowered to the floor 2 to accommodate people.
    By lowering the transport platform 12 to the ground 2 can be achieved that people with reduced mobility can easily get into the transport platform, as a step 14 on the transport platform 12 may be as low as possible. The step 14 can be overcome, for example, by a ramp or by a bevel, which is arranged on the transport platform 12.
    As can be seen from FIG. 2, the transport platform 12 has an access opening 15, via which the persons to be transported can enter the transport platform 12. The manhole 15 is preferably arranged on the front side 8 of the transport vehicle 1 and is thus seen in the direction of travel 7 front. Furthermore, it can be provided that in a closed transport platform 12 an access door 16, for example a sliding door, is arranged, by means of which the interior of the transport platform 12 can be entered.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that a driver's cab 17, on which the control elements for controlling the transport vehicle 1 are arranged, is arranged directly on the transport platform 12. In a closed transport platform 12, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, may be provided, for example, that is located directly next to the access door 16 of the cab 17. At the cab 17, a seat may be provided for receiving the driver. In addition, all controls are arranged to control the transport vehicle 1 on the cab 17.
    Fig. 3 shows a further perspective view of the transport vehicle 1, wherein in turn the same reference numerals or component names are used as in the previous figures 1 and 2 for the same parts. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the preceding Figures 1 and 2 or reference.
    In the view of Fig. 3, the transport platform 12 is raised to be able to settle people at a higher level.
    By means of the lifting device 13, the transport platform 12 can be moved in a vertical direction 18 between a lowered position 19 and a raised position 20. In the lowered position 19 can be provided that a bottom 21 of the transport platform 12 rests on the ground 2.
    In the raised position 20, the transport platform 12 is raised maximum. The maximum stroke 22 results from the difference between the raised position 20 and the lowered position 19.
    As can be seen particularly well from a synopsis of FIGS. 2 and 3, it can be provided that the lifting device 13 is designed as a lifting mast. The masts can have a telescopic rail system 23, whereby the transport platform 12 in the vertical direction 18 is adjustable. In particular, it can be provided that the transport platform 12 is arranged on a carriage 24, which is arranged on the running rail system 23. The track system 23 may include a first pair of rails 25, which are arranged directly next to the carriage 24. The first pair of rails 25 may have two individual rails 26, which are U-shaped and formed at an open end 27 of the U for receiving a guide roller 28 of the carriage 24.
    In particular, it is provided that two guide rollers 28 are formed on the carriage 24 on both sides, which serve for load acceptance and for torque absorption in the carriage 24. Furthermore, it can be provided that the first pair of rails 25 is also slidably received via guide rollers in a second pair of rails 29. This allows the telescopic function of the hub-masters to be achieved. Of course, further pairs of rails can be provided in order to achieve a Mehrfachteleskopierbarkeit the Hubmastens can.
    Furthermore, as can be seen from a synopsis of FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be provided that the transport platform 12 together with the lifting device 13 can be displaced in the direction of travel 7 relative to the chassis 3 between a receiving position 31 and a transport position 32.
    In particular, it can be provided that, in the transport position 32, at least the majority of the transport platform 12 is rooted within a projected base area 33 of the chassis 3. Furthermore, it can be provided that the transport platform 12 is parked in the transport position 32 with the underside 21 on a platform 34 of the frame 3 to increase the stability of the transport platform 12 during the process of the transport vehicle 1.
    The platform plane 34 is preferably arranged above all wheels 6.
    The transport platform 12 can be adjusted between receiving position 31 and transport position 32 by an adjustment 35 in the direction of travel 7. The adjustment 35 is selected so that in the receiving position 31, the complete transport platform 12 is moved to the front 8 of the chassis 3 on the chassis 3 also and thus can be lowered to the ground 2. In the transport position 32, the transport platform 12 is moved so far in the direction of the rear side 9 of the chassis 3, that the transport platform 12 can be placed above the chassis 3.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that an energy supply device 30 is formed, which serves for providing the drive energy for the transport vehicle 1. The energy supply device 30 is preferably arranged between the front pair of wheels 10 and the rear pair of wheels 11 and is also arranged below the platform level 34. Such an arrangement of the energy supply device 30 has the advantage that, on the one hand, the center of gravity of the passenger transport vehicle 1 is as low as possible and, moreover, the transport platform 12 can be arranged as close as possible to the substrate 2.
    The energy supply device 30 may for example be designed in the form of an internal combustion engine, which may be coupled to the wheels 6, for example by means of a transmission. Furthermore, it can be provided that a generator for generating electrical energy or a hydraulic unit is coupled to the internal combustion engine. The generator or the hydraulic unit may be coupled to servomotors in the form of electric motors or hydraulic motors, which serve to drive the individual movable components on the transport vehicle 1. Alternatively to a transmission, for example, the travel drive of the wheels can also be realized by means of an electric motor or a hydraulic motor. Furthermore, it can be provided that the tank is also arranged to take the fuel for the internal combustion engine between the front pair of wheels 10 and the rear pair of wheels 11 and beyond below the platform level 34. All drives of the passenger transport vehicle 1 can be directly driven, for example, as an electric motor, as a hydraulic motor, as a hydraulic cylinder or by means of a mechanical connection to an engine.
    In an alternative variant can be provided, for example, that the energy supply device 30 is formed in the form of an accumulator, which provides the drive power for driving the transport vehicle 1 by means of electric motors.
    In yet another embodiment, for example, it can be provided that the energy supply device 30 is designed in the form of a fuel cell.
    In further embodiments it can be provided that combinations of the aforementioned energy supply devices 30 are used, for example, a hybrid drive comprising a diesel engine, generator and accumulator.
    FIG. 4 shows a further perspective illustration of the transport vehicle 1, again using the same reference numerals or component designations for the same parts as in the preceding FIGS. 1 to 3. To avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the preceding figures 1 to 3 or reference.
    In Fig. 4, the chassis 3 and the lifting device 13 together with the transport platform 12 are shown in an exploded view.
    As can be seen from FIG. 4, it can be provided that the energy supply device 30, in particular if it is designed as an accumulator, is arranged on an extension system 36, by means of which the energy supply device 30 can preferably be pulled out laterally from the chassis 3. By means of the extension system 36 it can be achieved, for example, that accumulators can be loaded into the chassis 3 in a simplified manner in order, for example, to be able to charge a first accumulator, while a second accumulator is in operation.
    On the basis of a comparison of FIGS. 1 to 3, the procedure for carrying persons will be described below. In order to travel with the transport vehicle 1 to the desired location, it is provided that the transport platform 12 is arranged in transport position 32. It can be provided that the bottom 21 of the transport platform 12 rests on the platform 34. If the transport vehicle 1 arrived at the intended location, the transport platform 12 can be easily lifted in the vertical direction in order to lift it from the platform level 34 of the chassis 3 can. Subsequently, the transport platform 12 can be moved in the direction of travel 7 in the receiving position 31 in order to lower the transport platform 12 in the vertical direction 18 in the lowered position 19 in a further process step. In this position, the people can get on the transport platform 12.
    Subsequently, the transport platform 12 can be raised so far that the bottom 21 of the transport platform 12 is disposed above the platform level 34 of the chassis 3 and thus the transport platform 12 can be moved against the direction of travel 7 back into the transport position 32. Subsequently, optionally, the transport platform 12 can be lowered so that the underside 21 of the transport platform 12 rests against the platform plane 34 of the chassis 3. This position is shown in Fig. 1.
    The transport vehicle 1 is thus again in the driving mode and can transport the persons or objects to be transported to a transfer location or place of work. Arrived at the transfer point or place of work, the transport platform 12 can be moved in the vertical direction 18 in the raised position 20 to allow the transported people to get off at a raised level from the transport platform 12 can. This can be, for example, the transfer of persons to an aircraft.
    For transfer, the transport platform 12 can either be advanced in the receiving position 31 or be positioned in transport position 32 centrally above the chassis 3. Furthermore, it is of course also conceivable that the transport platform 12 is arranged in an intermediate position between receiving position 31 and transport position 32. In particular, it can be provided that by means of the chassis 3, the coarse positioning of the transport platform 12 is made relative to the aircraft and that then in the raised position, the transport platform 12 is moved in the direction of travel 7 relative to the chassis 3 to the manhole 15 of the transport platform 12 as close to a To place entry hatch of the aircraft.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that before the lifting of the transport platform 12 arranged in the chassis 3 supports 37 are extended to increase the stability of the transport vehicle 1 can. In particular, it can be provided that two supports 37 are arranged on each side in the chassis 3.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that a docking ramp 38 is arranged on the transport platform 12, which can be displaced relative to the transport platform 12 in order to provide a barrier-free transition between the aircraft and the transport platform 12. The docking ramp 38 may be integrated in the bottom of the transport platform 12 and moved out of this.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the docking ramp 38 is coupled to a peripheral housing, for example a flexible bellows. This bellows can be coupled directly to the housing of the transport platform 12, thereby it can be achieved that the transport platform 12 can be docked to the aircraft and offers protection against the weather.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the transport platform 12 with respect to a Flochachse 39 is rotatable relative to the chassis 3, for example, to adjust the angular position of the transport platform 12 to the aircraft. This can be provided on the one hand, that the transport platform 12 is rotatable relative to the lifting device 13 or that the lifting device 13 together with the transport platform 12 relative to the chassis 3 is rotatable. The twisting function can be realized, for example, by a centrally arranged axis of rotation with pivot pins, wherein laterally, for example, a hydraulic cylinder can be arranged, which is designed to adjust the angle of rotation.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the transport platform 12 is displaceable transversely to the direction of travel 7 with respect to the chassis 3 in order to be able to adapt the lateral position of the transport platform 12 to the manhole of the aircraft. In other words, the transport platform 12 can be displaced more toward the right side of the chassis 3 or more toward the left side of the chassis 3. This can be realized, for example, in that the transport platform 12 is coupled to the lifting device 13 by means of a lateral rail system. In an alternative variant, it can be provided that the transport platform 12 together with the lifting device 13 is displaceable relative to the chassis 3 via a lateral rail system.

In particular, it can be provided that the rail system 40 comprises two individual rails 42, which individual rails 42 are U-shaped, wherein the open side of the U of the two individual rails 42 faces each other. Furthermore, it can be provided that at least two guide rollers 43 are arranged on the guide carriage 41 per side, which are received and guided within the individual rails 42. By spacing the guide rollers 43 with respect to each other, it is possible to achieve that torques can be absorbed by the guide carriage 41 and transmitted to the rail system 40. As can be seen in the embodiment of FIG. 4, it can also be provided that several guide rollers 43, for example three guide rollers 43, can be arranged per side.
    As an alternative to the formation of guide rollers 43, provision can be made for a sliding guide or a recirculating ball guide to be formed on the guide slide 41, which guide groove cooperates with the rail system 40.
    Furthermore, a drive device 44 is provided which serves for displacing the guide carriage 41 relative to the rail system 40. The drive device 44 may be formed in various ways. For example, it may be provided that the drive device 44 comprises a traction means 45, which is tensioned between a drive roller 46 and a deflection roller 47. The traction means 45 may be formed, for example, as a circulating toothed belt, which revolves around the drive roller 46 and around the deflection roller 47 and is moved by the drive roller 46. Furthermore, it can be provided that the drive roller 46 is coupled to a drive motor 48, which drives the drive roller 46.
    The traction means 45 may be formed in an alternative variant, for example, in the form of a rope or in the form of a chain. Furthermore, it can be provided that on the guide carriage 41, a clamping device 49 is arranged, by means of which the guide carriage 41 can be coupled in motion with the traction means 45.
    In an alternative variant can also be provided that the drive device 44 is formed for example by a gear which cooperates with a rack or that the drive device 44 is formed, for example in the form of a hydraulic cylinder or a movement spindle.
    Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the transport vehicle 1, wherein in this embodiment, the transport platform 12 is formed as an open platform and such a transport vehicle 1 can be used for example for maintenance purposes. The transport vehicle 1 may be formed such that the transport platform 12 is coupled to the lifting device 13 is arranged and thus can be easily replaced. For example, it can be provided that a fork is formed on the lifting device 13, by means of which the transport platform 12 can be accommodated.
    The transport platform 12, as shown in Fig. 5, a fall protection, in particular a crash railing 50 have, which serves to increase the safety of persons. The crash rail 50 may also have an access opening 15 at the front 8.
    The driver's cab 17 can, for example, be arranged centrally in the case of a transport platform 12 designed in this way in order to be able to maintain the overview of the transport vehicle 1. In an alternative variant, provision may also be made for the driver's cab 17 to be arranged on the left front side 8 of the transport platform 12 or on the right front side 8 of the transport platform 12, in order to allow the operator the best possible view of the front side 8 of the transport vehicle 1.
    In an alternative variant, it can be provided that a driver's cab 17 is arranged both on the left front side 8 and on the right front side 8, wherein the transport vehicle 1 can be operated either via one of the two driver's cabs 17.
    Regardless of the design of the transport platform 12 can be provided that one or more rise ladders 51 are arranged on the chassis 3, which serve to reach the transport platform 12 in the transport position 32.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that for securing the transport platform 12 on its underside 21, a fixing element 52 is arranged, which cooperates with a arranged on the chassis 3 counter-element 53. The fixing element 52 may for example be in the form of a bolt and the counter element 53 in the form of a bore which cooperates with the bolt. By lowering the transport platform 12 to the platform level 34 of the chassis 3, the fixing element 52 can be brought into engagement, for example, with the counter element 53 in order to prevent a displacement of the transport platform 12 in the direction of travel 7.
    Of course, it can also be provided that the counter element 53 is arranged on the transport platform 12 and the fixing element 52 is arranged on the chassis 3.
    Furthermore, it can be provided that the lifting device 13 has a mechanical safeguard, by means of which the transport platform 12 can be secured against falling in the event of failure of the drive system. The mechanical fuse may for example be integrated in a hydraulic cylinder 54, which serves to lift the lifting device 13.
    As shown schematically in FIG. 5, it can further be provided that the chassis 3 has a suspension 55 and optionally a damping 56.
    The suspension 55 and the damping 56 may be formed in all the different embodiments of the transport vehicle 1.
    FIG. 6 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the docking ramp 38.
    As can be seen from FIG. 6, it can be provided that the docking ramp 38 has a front segment 58 and a rear segment 59, which are coupled to one another by means of a vertical pivot 57, the front segment 58 being pivotable with respect to the rear segment 59. For example, it can be provided that the rear segment 59 has a sandwich construction and thus a free space and the front segment 58 is received in the free space of the rear segment 59.
