description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a transport carrier for a suspension conveyor and a suspension conveyor with a plurality of transport carriers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
When conveying transport goods come depending on the nature of the cargo a variety of conveyors used. The conveying devices typically have transport units which receive the transported goods and which are conveyed by the conveying device. The design of the conveyor device and in particular of the transport units is thereby to a substantial extent dependent on the conditions of the transported goods, such as e.g. the geometry and / or mass of the same determined.
For smaller piece goods, such as consumer goods or printed products, e.g. appropriately sized containers, bags or grippers proven. At the other end of the spectrum are large goods to be transported, such as workpieces of buildings or automotive components, such as e.g. Cladding, doors, bathtubs, window frames, etc. For conveying such large items to be transported, the transport units are typically dimensioned correspondingly large, with mobile floor panels, containers or caddies have been found suitable in many applications. Due to the size and mass of the workpieces or the components, special demands are placed on the conveying device with regard to the conveying capacity and the loading / unloading and the storage of the transport units.
A device for the storage and transport of elongated parts with bent on both sides in the same direction end pieces, such as automotive bumpers, is described in WO 9 836 983 A1. The device is vertically along the two opposite sides with a plurality of stiffened and generally "U" -shaped straps, the transverse stiffeners are in an inwardly inclined plane in exactly horizontal position, each with two opposing belts due to their transverse stiffeners as bearing surfaces are suitable for objects, wherein the points of contact with the transverse stiffeners are in the transition areas between the central part and the bent end pieces of the object to be stored.
Another device for the transport and storage of elongated goods, in particular a charge carrier for motor vehicle arrival /, one or or formed parts is described in DE 20 2007 015 501 U1. The device comprises a substantially U-shaped, upwardly open frame and individual, at least at U-legs of the frame fixed pads, each pad is adapted to receive an associated load. The respective U-leg of the upwardly open frame has an extension web, which can be adjusted into a position extended relative to the U-leg and a retracted position. In the extended position with at the same time stiffened / removed support (s) the removal of the load from at least one support is made possible. By contrast, the requirements with the respective load on it in the retracted position of the extension web take their greatest possible packing density without unloading the load.
PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION
In the promotion of large cargo, especially workpieces or components in the automotive industry, it is desirable because of the large dimensions and the masses involved to provide transport units, which has a high conveying capacity both in terms of the inclusion of cargo and in the arrangement in enable the conveyor.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a transport carrier and a conveyor, which at least partially improve the prior art.
This object is solved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are given in the dependent claims and in the present description and the figures.
The invention relates to a transport carrier for a suspension conveyor, comprising support elements, which form at least one receiving space for receiving a cargo, wherein at least two support elements are movable relative to each other in at least one Adaptierkonfiguration and can be locked in at least one Arretierkonfiguration, wherein the at least two Carrier elements in the Adaptierkonfiguration are each movable relative to each other so that the geometry of the receiving space and / or the spatial extent of the transport carrier is changeable.
The transport carrier has the advantage of a flexible transport unit, which can be adjusted by the mobility of carrier elements to the requirements of the transported goods to be transported. The transport carrier is particularly suitable for the transport of large goods, such as Workpieces or components of buildings or the automotive industry, suitable. The picking locations are preferably of size and / or stability for accommodating such large items of cargo as e.g. Workpieces or automotive components designed. Particularly advantageous is the transport carrier for the conveyance of front and / or rear skirts in the manufacture of automobiles, which depending on the specific vehicle model, e.g. can vary greatly in specific form or size.
By the relative movement of the support elements to each other, the geometry of the receiving space can be changed such that the receiving space advantageously on the transported goods, e.g. the front or rear skirt, adapted size, in particular surface has. Further, the carrier elements can be moved relative to each other in a transport carrier having a plurality of receiving locations so that the transport carrier can accommodate a plurality of transport goods in a space-saving manner.
In the context of the present invention, "large transport goods" are generally understood as being goods with dimensions in the spatial direction with the greatest extent in the range of one or several meters (n).
The relative arrangement of the support elements to each other can be changed such that the receiving space to special geometries of the transported material, e.g. certain concave and / or convex protrusions and / or projections and / or recesses, can be adjusted. For goods with a certain elastic deformability, such as in front and / or rear aprons, the carrier elements can be moved relative to each other so that the transported goods are deformed into a configuration which is advantageous for conveying by the transport carrier. For example, in front and / or rear aprons, which typically have a U-shape, the carrier elements of a transport carrier can spread the U-legs of the front and / or rear aprons such that the front and / or rear aprons nestle one above the other in different locations can be included, which reduces the space requirement and increases the delivery capacity. At the same time, the support members can be moved relative to one another in a configuration in which the front and / or rear aprons do not touch during conveyance, e.g. is advantageous if the front and / or rear aprons are freshly painted. In addition, damages by mutual contact, e.g. scratched or dented, reduced or prevented.
Further, depending on the mass of the goods to be transported, a specific arrangement of the carrier elements may be advantageous to each other. For example, the relatively movable support members may be moved to a configuration in which the receiving space has sufficient support of the mass by the support members.
By forming at least one Adaptierkonfiguration and at least one locking configuration can be ensured that the relatively movable support members are moved only when a movement is desired and, for example. do not move during the transport of the loaded goods. Preferably, the relatively movable support members are during loading and / or unloading of the transport carrier in the Adaptierkonfiguration to adjust the geometry, in particular surface, of the receiving space on the cargo and while conveying the cargo in the Arretierkonfiguration to a shifting or falling out of the Prevent transport goods. Preferably, for any desired degree of freedom of movement, e.g. for each spatial direction in which a movement of the support elements is desired, a certain Adaptierkonfiguration provided so that the support members for each degree of freedom of movement can be controlled controlled.
The change in the spatial extent of the transport carrier is particularly advantageous for the conveyance of large goods to be transported, which require appropriately sized transport carrier, since the empty transport carrier can be reduced by appropriate movement of the relatively movable support elements. A shrinking of the transport carrier is u.a. advantageous for storing the transport carrier in an empty storage, as the space in the empty storage can be used more efficiently. When storing the empty transport carrier in the empty storage often occur conveying operations with curves, for which a reduction of the transport carrier is advantageous because the curve radii can be minimized.
In one embodiment, at least two support elements are displaceable relative to each other.
Preferably, the at least two support elements in the vertical or horizontal direction are displaceable relative to each other. The support elements can preferably be displaced relative to one another by the person loading / unloading the transport carrier. The displacement in the horizontal direction can advantageously be used to adapt the dimension of a bearing surface of the receiving space on the cargo. Further, the displacement in the horizontal direction can serve to exploit a concave shape of the transported material to clamp the cargo. An example of such clamping has been described above for the spreading of a U-shaped front / rear skirt. Furthermore, the displacement in the horizontal direction, in particular in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, has the advantage that the expansion of the transport carrier can be reduced in this direction, which enables a reduction of the curve radii in the empty storage.
The displacement in the vertical direction can advantageously serve to modify the distance from one another superimposed recording sites to each other and adapt to the geometry of the transported goods. In particular, by means of a suitable vertical displacement of the carrier elements which are movable relative to one another, an increased interleaving of the transported goods can be achieved, wherein it can be ensured at the same time that the transported goods do not contact one another or only to a certain extent. This is for the reasons already described above particularly advantageous for front and / or rear aprons, especially for freshly painted front and / or rear aprons.
In one embodiment, the transport carrier comprises first and second carrier elements, which are telescopically formed into one another.
Preferably, the support elements are designed as tubes with different diameters, wherein the diameters are dimensioned so that the tubes can telescopically engage with each other.
In one embodiment, at least two support elements have a polygonal, preferably four-edged, cross-sectional profile, wherein each adjacent side surfaces of at least parts of telescopically interlocking carrier elements are arranged parallel to each other in an Adaptierkonfiguration and the support elements are locked in a locking configuration by mutual tilting ,
Preferably, the telescopically engageable support members can be brought by pivoting from the locking configuration in the Adaptierkonfiguration or from the locking configuration in the Adaptierkonfiguration.
When loading a receiving space, the relatively movable support members of the receiving space can be brought by pivoting in the Adaptierkonfiguration in which the support elements can be moved so that the geometry of the receiving space can be adapted to the cargo.
After loading, the support elements of the receiving space can be pivoted into the Arretierkonfiguration in which the cargo or the transport carrier can be further promoted.
By forming the polygonal cross-sectional profiles and the tilting in the locking configuration, a self-locking mechanism can be achieved for locking. In the adapter configuration, the adjacent side surfaces of at least those parts of the carrier elements which can telescope into one another are preferably arranged parallel to one another.
In one embodiment, at least two support elements are pivotable relative to each other.
By the pivoting, a further degree of freedom of the adaptability of the receiving locations can be provided to the transported goods. In combination with carrier elements which can be displaced relative to one another, the transport carrier can have both translational and rotational degrees of freedom, which offers the advantage of a transport carrier with a high degree of adaptability to the transport goods to be accommodated. Further, in one embodiment, panning may be used to switch between the adapter configuration and the latch configuration.
Preferably, the at least two support elements are pivotable about a parallel to a support member, more preferably aligned with a support member, and / or preferably about an axis perpendicular to a support member axis. In one embodiment, the support elements are pivotable by means of a hinge.
Preferably, the transport carrier is in the form of a frame, wherein the carrier elements form a linkage of the frame. The frame may have a main support member on which support members may be arranged in the form of arms. The arms may be pivotable about the axis of the main support member. The arms may have forearms, which may be pivotable about the axis of the arms.
With the help of the hinge, two support elements which are connected by the hinge can be folded or unfolded to change the geometry of the receiving space and / or the extent of the transport carrier.
Preferably, the carrier elements are designed as rail elements.
In one embodiment, two rail elements and at least one connecting rail, which connects the two rail elements form a receiving space in the form of a horizontal U-shaped support for receiving a cargo.
The design as rail elements with U-shaped supports offers the advantage of a light, stable transport carrier, which in particular for conveying large goods to be transported, such. Automotive components or other workpieces, is suitable. The two rail elements of the U-shaped support preferably form side arms, which transport the goods, in particular an elongated cargo such. a front and / or rear apron, can engage.
In one embodiment, the two rail elements are pivotable in a voltage applied to the connecting rail position.
This can be made possible with the aid of a suitable hinge. By pivoting the two rail elements to the connecting rail, the U-shaped support can be folded so that the transport carrier can be reduced in size.
In one embodiment, the transport carrier has at least two receiving locations, which are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction.
In further embodiments, the transport carrier may have at least three or more receiving spaces. By arranging several receiving spaces one above the other, the conveying capacity can be increased. Superimposed transport goods which are accommodated in the superimposed receiving locations can be moved by moving carrier elements relative to each other, so that the space requirement is optimized, e.g. by a nested arrangement with U-shaped front and / or rear aprons.
In one embodiment, the transport carrier has a vertical main carrier element, wherein horizontal carrier elements are arranged on the main carrier element.
The horizontal support members may form horizontal supports for receiving transport goods. Preferably, the horizontal support members are arranged at a right angle with respect to the main support member. The main support member may be telescoping in the vertical direction, i. Carrier elements comprise which telescopically mesh. Due to the vertical telescoping of the main carrier element, the vertical distances of the supports formed by the horizontal carrier elements can be adapted to the transported goods. At least two horizontal support elements are preferably telescopically formed in the horizontal direction into each other. At least one horizontal support element can be pivotable about a vertical or horizontal axis.
In one embodiment, the horizontal support elements are arranged on the main support member such that each formed at the same height on the main support member horizontal support members, preferably in a locking position, two L-shaped arms form.
In one embodiment, at least a part of the support elements comprises a sheath comprising a plastic, a foam, or an elastomer.
The sheath offers the advantage that the transported goods can be better kept in the receiving spaces. In embodiments in which the transported goods are deformed by a suitable movement of carrier elements to a certain extent, e.g. in the above-described clamping of front and / or rear aprons, the sheath can prevent or reduce slippage of the cargo.
In one embodiment, the transport carrier comprises a carriage, which is conveyed in the overhead conveyor.
As a rule, the carriages have rollers by means of which the carriages can be conveyed in a running rail.
In one embodiment, the transport carrier comprises at least two in the conveying direction successively arranged carriage, which are interconnected by a strut element.
As a rule, the carriages have a maximum value of the load, which can be conveyed by means of the carriage. By connecting two carriages, the maximum load which can be conveyed with the transport carriers can be increased or doubled.
In one embodiment, a vertical main carrier element is connected to the bracing element, wherein horizontal support elements are arranged on the main carrier element.
The horizontal support members may form horizontal supports for receiving transport goods. Preferably, the horizontal support members are arranged at a right angle with respect to the main support member. The main support member may be telescoping in the vertical direction, i. Carrier elements comprise which telescopically mesh. Due to the vertical telescoping of the main carrier element, the vertical distances of the supports formed by the horizontal carrier elements can be adapted to the transported goods. At least two horizontal support elements are preferably telescopically formed in the horizontal direction into each other. At least one horizontal support element can be pivotable about a vertical and / or horizontal axis.
In one embodiment, the vertical main carrier element is connected via an angled end to the strut element.
In one embodiment, the main carrier element is detachably connected to the strut element.
This offers the advantage that depending on the intended use, different main carrier elements can be coupled to the strut element with horizontal carrier elements without the carriages having to be replaced.
In one embodiment, the horizontal support members are arranged on the main support member such that each formed at the same height on the main support member horizontal support members, preferably in a locked position, two L-shaped arms form.
In one embodiment, the main carrier element is pivotable about an axis perpendicular to the strut element.
The pivotability of the main carrier element offers the advantage that inclinations in the conveyor line, e.g. Tilts a running rail in which the carriages are promoted, can be compensated.
Preferably, the main support member is pivotable about a horizontal axis.
The bracing element can be designed such that a pivoting movement of the main carrier element can be limited.
An excessive pendulum movement of the transport carrier by pivoting the main carrier element during conveying can be advantageously prevented.
Optionally, the strut element has damping elements for limiting the pivoting of the main carrier element. In particular, the damping elements may include abutment of the main support member, e.g. an angled end of the main support member, attenuate the strut.
In one embodiment, at least one carrier element is movable into an empty configuration in which the spatial extent of the transport carrier is minimal.
A transport carrier with carrier elements in the empty configuration has the advantage that the space requirement of the transport carrier, in particular when storing in an empty storage, can be minimized. Preferably, the spatial extent of the transport carrier in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction can be minimized by moving the at least one carrier element into the empty configuration, which offers the advantage of reduced curve radii.
The invention further relates to a suspension conveyor with a plurality of transport carriers according to the present description.
In one embodiment, the suspension conveyor device comprises a running rail for conveying carriages.
The running rail may have inclinations in sections such that the carriages or the transport carriers, which comprise carriages, can be driven by gravity.
In one embodiment, the transport carrier with variable distance from each other in the overhead conveyor can be conveyed.
In one embodiment, the suspension conveyor device has a loading station in which the transport carriers can be conveyed for loading with a transportable goods in a sustainable manner or at a reduced conveying speed.
By stopping or the reduced conveying speed enough time can be made available to load the transport carrier with cargo. In particular, sufficient time can be made available to a single person who is to load the transport carrier with goods to be transported in order to move the carrier elements that are movable relative to one another into a configuration adapted to the transported goods.
In one embodiment, the loading station has a holding device for holding the transport carrier. The holding device is preferably releasably operatively connected to a carrier element of the transport carrier for holding the transport carrier. The holding device has the advantage that unwanted movements of the transport carrier during loading and / or unloading can be reduced or prevented.
In one embodiment, the holding device comprises a stop on which the transport carrier, preferably by a carrier element in the lower region of the transport carrier, abut and the transport carrier can be held thereby.
The holding device further preferably has at least one side element, by means of which an undesired lateral movement of the transport carrier can be reduced or prevented.
Preferably, the transport carrier is initially brought to a standstill in the loading station or at least braked to a reduced conveying speed, e.g. in embodiments with carriage by the or the carriage is stopped or, and then the transport carrier with the holding device releasably operatively connected to enable or improve a controlled loading and / or unloading. In embodiments with carriages, the carriage or carriages may advantageously be locked at standstill, e.g. by a locking device arranged on the running rail. After loading and / or unloading of the transport carrier, the operative connection of the transport carrier can be achieved with the holding device for further promotion of the transport carrier.
In one embodiment, the stop is arranged on a floor, wherein the transport carrier is advantageously arranged in the region of the loading station at a height in which a carrier element in the lower region of the transport carrier can abut against the stop. In embodiments with a running rail, the running rail in the region of the loading station is advantageously arranged at a suitable height, in which a carrier element in the lower region of the transport carrier can abut against the stop.
In embodiments with a main carrier element, the holding device is preferably releasably operatively connected to a lower end of the main carrier element. In embodiments with a pivotable main carrier element, the holding device can be designed such that the operative connection with the main carrier element can be achieved by a pivoting movement of the main carrier element.
Preferably, the holding device has an insertion region with a funnel-shaped profile for guiding the transport carriers. The insertion region with the funnel-shaped profile is preferably formed or bounded by side elements of the holding device. In embodiments with a stop, the stop is preferably arranged at the insertion area.
In one embodiment, the suspended conveyor on a empty storage, in which empty transport carrier can be stored, wherein the carrier elements of the transport carrier are in the empty storage in an empty configuration.
The transport carriers with the carrier elements in the empty configuration offer the advantage that the space in the empty storage can be used efficiently. This is especially true for large cargo, such as e.g. Workpieces or automotive components, which usually require large transport carrier, advantage. Further curve radii can be kept smaller in the empty storage by reducing the spatial extent of the transport carrier as if the empty transport carrier would be stored without changing the position of the support elements in the empty storage.
The transport carrier offers the advantage that the loading of the transport carrier can also be carried out with large goods to be transported, such as e.g. Workpieces or automotive components, can be made by a single person. After providing a transport carrier with at least one empty receiving space, the person can load the receiving space with a cargo, the cargo is placed on the receiving space and the relatively movable support elements are moved so that the geometry is adapted to the cargo. After arranging the transported goods at the receiving location, preferably by placing the transported good, such. a front and / or rear apron, the person can move the corresponding support elements in a transport goods adapted position and there, i. e. in a locking configuration, lock. In particular, the person can move the individual carrier elements sequentially. For example, when loading the transport carrier with a U-shaped front and / or rear apron, a person can shift and lock a carrier element in the horizontal direction in such a way that a first U-leg is spread. Thereafter, the person can move and lock a further carrier element in the horizontal direction such that the second U-leg of the front and / or rear apron is spread. Preferably, the transport carrier is stopped during loading and / or unloading or conveyed at a reduced speed. When unloading a person can move back the relatively movable support elements and remove the cargo from the receiving space.

DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
In order to illustrate the invention, preferred embodiments are described in detail with reference to the figures.
1a shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a transport carrier 1 with a vertical main carrier element 11 and horizontal support elements 121, 122, 123, which are designed as rail elements. The vertical main support member 11 has an angled end 111, via which the transport carrier 1 can be connected to a carriage or a strut element (not shown in the figure). On the main support member 11, six horizontal support members 121 are mounted at a right angle with respect to the main support member 11, wherein each two support members are arranged at the same height. Subsequently, horizontal support elements 122, 123 are arranged on the six horizontal support elements 121, wherein the support elements 122, 123 are rigidly connected to one another at a right angle. In the figure, only one of the six support elements 121, 122, 123 are provided with reference numerals for a better overview. The horizontal support members 121, 122, 123 each form L-shaped arms, which are arranged on each side of the main support member 11, so that three superimposed, horizontal U-shaped receiving seats 13a, 13b, 13c are formed. The vertical main carrier element 11 has three carrier elements 11a, 11b, 11c, which are designed to telescopically engage one another. In the configuration shown, the carrier elements 11a, 11b, 11c are pushed together maximally so that only the contact lines 112 can be seen. The vertical main support member 11 can therefore be extended in the vertical direction with respect to the configuration shown. The horizontal support members 121, 122 are formed telescopically into one another. In the configuration shown, all horizontal support members 121, 122 are maximally pushed together, so that only the contact lines 124 can be seen.
1b shows a perspective view of the transport carrier 1 from FIG. 1a, wherein the horizontal carrier element 122a 1 is telescopically displaced relative to the horizontal carrier element 121a1 in a horizontal direction. Further, the support member 11 b in the vertical direction relative to the support member 11 a telescopically moved.
Fig. 1c shows a perspective view of the transport carrier 1 of Fig. 1a, wherein the horizontal support members 122a 1 and 122a2 are telescopically displaced in the horizontal direction relative to the horizontal support members 121a1 and 121a2. The remaining support elements are shown pushed together maximally. Due to the telescoping displacement of the carrier elements of the transport carrier 1 shown in FIGS. 1a-1c, therefore, the spatial extent of the transport carrier 1 in the vertical and in the horizontal direction can be changed. The geometry or the effective area of the horizontal U-shaped receiving places 13a, 13b, 13c can be changed by the horizontal relative displacement of the carrier elements 121, 122, 123, 121a1, 121a2, 122a1, 122a2.
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a section of a suspension conveyor 2 with a transport carrier 1 ', which is loaded with a U-shaped front apron 3. The transport carrier 1 'comprises two carriages 14a', 14b ', which are connected by a strut element 15'. The transport carrier 1 'comprises a main carrier element 11' with carrier elements 11a ', 11b', 11c 'and horizontal carrier elements 121', 122 ', 123', which are displaceable relative to one another analogously to the transport carrier shown in FIGS. 1a-1c. The main carrier element 11 'is detachably connected to the bracing element 15' via an angled end 111 '. A bearing element 112 ', which couples the angled end 111' to the bracing element 15 ', enables pivoting of the main support element 11' about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the bracing element 15 '. The bracing element 15 'has damping elements 151' for limiting the pivoting of the main carrier element 11 '. In particular, the damping elements 151 'attenuate an abutment of the angled end 111' of the main carrier element 11 'on the strut element 15'. The carriages 14a ', 14b' are conveyable in a running rail 21 (symbolically illustrated with a dashed line) of the suspension conveyor 2. The front apron 3 rests on the upper receiving space 13a '.
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a detail of the suspended conveyor device 2 from FIG. 2 with the transport carrier 1 'from the rear in relation to the view in FIG. 2. The transport carrier 1' is loaded with two U-shaped front aprons 3a, 3b , The front apron 3a rests on the upper receiving space 13a 'and the front apron 3b rests on the middle receiving space 13b'. The lower receiving space 13c 'is empty. In the figure it can be seen that the horizontal support elements 121 ', 122' of the upper and middle receiving space 13a ', 13b' are telescopically displaced in the horizontal direction, so that the front aprons 3a, 3b are spread and on the receiving places 13a ', 13b 'are clamped. Due to the spreading, the front aprons 3a, 3b can be positioned and conveyed one above the other in a nested configuration. In comparison to FIG. 2, the carrier elements of the main carrier element 11 'are pushed together, which reduces the vertical extent of the transport carrier 1' in comparison to FIG. The horizontal support members 121c ', 122c' of the lower receiving space 13c 'are shown pushed together. The person 4, which loads or unloads the transport carrier 1 'with front aprons, first loads the uppermost receiving station 13a' with the front apron 3a, the horizontal carrier elements 121 ', 122' of the uppermost receiving station 13a 'being still in the collapsed configuration before being loaded. After placing the front apron 3a on the receiving space 13a ', the person 4 first shifts a horizontal support member 122r' on one side of the main support member 11 'to spread the U-leg of the front apron 3a on that side. Thereafter, the person 4 shifts the horizontal support member 1221 'on the other side of the main support member 11' to spread the second U-leg of the front apron 3a. The front apron 3a is thus clamped by the person 4 in a spread configuration on the receiving space 13a '. After loading the uppermost receiving station 13a 'loads the person 4 in an analogous manner the average receiving space 13b'.
4 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a transport carrier 1 "with two horizontally displaced second carrier elements 122", which are each pivotable about a horizontal axis A (symbolized by the arrows).
