Description The present invention lies in the field of transport logistics, in particular intralogistics. It relates to a device for securing at least one hanging transport carrier in the hold of a transport container according to the preamble of independent claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device and a method for transporting transport goods held in transport position in the hold of a transport container according to the preamble of the independent claim 11th
When conveying goods to be transported, a wide variety of conveyors are used depending on the type of goods to be transported. The conveyor devices typically have transport units which receive the goods to be transported and which are conveyed by the conveyor device. The design of the conveyor and in particular the transport units is largely dependent on the conditions of the goods to be transported, e.g. the geometry and / or the mass of the same.
In the case of smaller piece goods such as consumer goods or printed products, e.g. Appropriate sized containers, bags or grabs have proven their worth. At the other end of the spectrum, there are large items to be transported, such as workpieces from buildings or automotive components, e.g. Front or rear aprons, cladding, doors, bathtubs, window frames etc.
To transport such large transport goods, the transport units are typically dimensioned correspondingly large, and in many applications, among other things, transport racks have proven to be suitable. Due to the size and mass of the workpieces or the components, there are special requirements for the design of the transport units and for handling such transport units.
It is also common for large workpieces, such as automobile parts, to be located within a factory site between different production halls, i.e. between different conveyors, must be transported. For example, the workpieces are manufactured in a first production hall and assembled in a second production hall.
It is known to transport the workpieces between the production halls by means of commercial vehicles, such as trucks. It can even happen that the workpieces have to be transported between two factory sites via public transport routes. This is usually also done using commercial vehicles.
For example, large-sized workpieces are loaded on pallets or on racks and the loaded pallets or racks are carried with the workpieces in the loading space of the commercial vehicle. As a rule, industrial trucks such as pallet trucks or forklifts must be used to transfer the workpieces loaded on pallets or racks.
The loading methods mentioned are inefficient and often make insufficient use of the available cargo space. In addition, there is always the risk that the workpieces become jammed when loading and unloading the pallets or the racks as well as when moving the pallets or racks and also during transport by means of a commercial vehicle, e.g. due to acceleration forces, slipping and colliding with other transport goods or other components in the loading space and being damaged. In addition, the operation of industrial trucks requires appropriately trained personnel.
Another disadvantage is that the workpieces must be transferred from the conveyor to the pallets or racks before loading and must be transferred from the pallets or racks to another conveyor after transport. These transfer steps are time-consuming and generally have to be carried out by trained workers, and there is always a risk of damage to the workpieces with each transfer step.
Even if, for example, racks with rollers are used, which make the use of industrial trucks unnecessary, the risk of damage to the workpieces is hardly reduced by handling the transport racks.
Since the packaging of the workpieces is too complicated and cumbersome for their internal transport, simply because of their dimensions, other solutions must be considered so that the goods to be transported are not damaged before, during and after transport.
Furthermore, in certain cases, a certain order or sequence must be observed when loading and unloading the workpieces, so that the workpieces following the transport in the correct sequence, e.g. in the same process sequence as in the previous work step. This is the case, for example, if the end products to be manufactured, such as automobiles, have individual equipment features, such as have an individual paint job.
In these cases, a transport order is specified, such as can only be maintained with great effort and care, for example when using pallets or transport racks.
Despite the above requirements for the transport of the goods to be transported and thus the loading and unloading of the transport containers should be carried out quickly and efficiently and with as little personnel and aids as possible.
CH 714 768 A2 [0015] Overhead conveyor devices are now known, by means of which the goods to be transported are suspended along a transport rail and transported into the loading space of a commercial vehicle. Such a device is known for example from the publication FR 2 667 849 A1.
Known devices, however, have the disadvantage that the goods to be transported are insufficiently secured in the loading space or only adequately secured with a correspondingly great outlay.
It is an object of the present invention to propose a device for transporting transport goods which are held in the transport position in the loading space of a transport container and which fulfills the above-mentioned requirements.
Another object of the present invention is also to propose a device for securing at least one hanging transport carrier in a loading space so that the transport carrier and with it the goods to be transported do not collide with one another during transport and can thus damage one another.
At least one of the above objects is solved by the features of independent claims 1 and 11. Further developments and special embodiments of the invention result from the dependent claims, the description and the figures.
The at least one transport carrier is guided and held in the hold, in particular via at least one carriage, on at least one hold rail arranged in the hold.
The carriage comprises at least one carriage body.
The at least one carriage body can in particular comprise at least one, in particular several, rollers. The rollers are especially also idlers.
The at least one carriage body can further comprise one or more guide rollers for guiding, in particular for lateral guiding of the carriage along a feeding transport rail of an overhead conveyor.
[0024] The at least one carriage body can in particular comprise at least one, in particular several, sliding surfaces.
[0025] The sliding surfaces can be formed on the carriage body by sliding members, such as sliding elements. When viewed in the direction of movement, sliding elements can protrude laterally, in particular on both sides, of the carriage body. The sliding members can protrude laterally from the carriage body.
[0026] The direction of movement can be a loading direction or an unloading direction opposite to the loading direction.
The loading direction corresponds in particular to the direction of movement of the carriage along the loading space rail when loading the loading space.
It can be provided that in the direction of movement on each side of the carriage body two sliding elements spaced apart in the direction of movement are arranged with sliding surfaces. This arrangement is intended to prevent the carriage or the carriage body from tipping in the direction of movement.
Between each two sliding members on one side, a driving element projecting laterally from the carriage body can be arranged for driving the carriage along a driving path by drivers.
The sliding members can also be formed together with driving elements also projecting laterally to the carriage body.
[0031] According to a particular embodiment, the at least one carriage body can both contain at least one, in particular a plurality of rollers, and also form at least one, in particular a plurality of sliding surfaces.
When viewed in the direction of movement, the sliding surfaces can, in particular, be arranged on the outside relative to the rollers.
Thus, the at least one carriage body can have two rollers with a common geometric axis of rotation, the carriage body, viewed in the direction of movement, forms a sliding surface laterally on the outside relative to the roller.
[0034] According to a first embodiment variant, the carriage and the loading space rail are designed and matched to one another in such a way that the running carriage rolls along the loading space rail by means of the at least one roller. The loading space rail is accordingly designed as a running rail with at least one, in particular a plurality of running surfaces, on which the at least one running roller of the running carriage can roll.
[0035] According to a second embodiment variant, the carriage and the loading space rail are designed and matched to one another in such a way that the running carriage slides along the loading space rail. The cargo space rail is accordingly designed as a slide rail with at least one slide, in particular a plurality of slide, on which the carriage slides with its at least one slide surface.
CH 714 768 A2 [0036] The slide rail is in particular designed in such a way that the rollers of the load compartment rail do not rest on or rest on, ie are relieved. The rollers are particularly freely rotating.
The at least one transport carrier can thus be moved or transported along the at least one loading rail, depending on the design variant, either in a rolling or sliding manner.
[0038] If the loading space rail is designed as a sliding rail, it comprises in particular a sliding profile. The sliding profile is particularly down, i.e. open to the floor, especially open on one side.
The loading space rail or its sliding profile in particular forms sliding edges along which the carriage can slide with its sliding surfaces. The sliding edges can be formed by longitudinal profile legs.
[0040] The sliding profile can thus form two longitudinal sliding edges or profile legs that run parallel to one another and are spaced apart from one another, with sliding edges. The profile legs can be directed upwards or obliquely upwards.
The profile legs in particular limit a receiving space for at least partially receiving the end portion of a transfer rail or its rolling profile. The profile legs laterally limit the receiving space when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the rail. The receiving space is particularly open at the bottom. The receiving space is particularly closed at the top.
Edge protection profiles, which form the slideways or gliding edges, can be attached to the longitudinal profile legs. The edge protection profiles, which e.g. Plastic profi le, can be U-shaped and include two side clamping legs, via which the edge protection profile is clamped on the profile legs.
The carriage is held in a rolling or sliding manner in particular on a single loading space rail. However, it can also be provided that the carriage is held in a rolling or sliding manner via at least two separate loading space rails, which for example run parallel to one another.
The loading space and in particular also the at least one loading space rail in the loading space is in particular designed to accommodate several transport carriers.
The transport carriers are, in particular, transport carriers of an overhead conveyor, also called an overhead conveyor device. This means that the transport carriers with the transport goods are conveyed from the overhead conveyor into the loading space of the transport container during loading without reloading the transport goods. Conversely, the goods to be transported are also transferred from the loading space of the transport container of a overhead conveyor when the goods are unloaded.
[0046] The overhead conveyor comprises in particular a transport rail for the rolling transport of the carriages. The feeding transport rail of the overhead conveyor is in particular a running rail, which forms at least one running surface for the at least one running roller. The track can also have a longitudinal guide channel for receiving guide rollers attached to the carriage.
According to the invention, a securing device is arranged on the floor of the loading space, which is designed to temporarily engage, in particular in mechanical contact, with a holding member of the at least one transport carrier pointing towards the floor, in order to connect the at least one transport carrier to the floor or secure against deflection towards the floor.
The transport carrier is thus secured to the floor by the holding member. This is necessary because the hanging bracket of the transport carrier is usually not rigid. This means that the transport carrier can be articulated to the carriage, for example. In this way, the transport carrier can be set in motion during acceleration, the deflection of the transport carrier towards the ground being greatest due to the hanging bracket.
The securing device thus serves in particular to secure the transport carrier against deflection of the transport carrier.
Deflecting means in particular a swinging, swinging or swiveling of the transport carrier. The deflection axis is arranged in particular in the area of the articulated connection between the transport carrier and the carriage.
The securing device should in particular prevent deflection of the transport carrier parallel to the loading or transport direction (deflection to the front and to the rear). This is done in particular via a latch, which is described below.
The safety device is intended in particular to prevent deflection of the transport carrier transversely to the loading or transport direction (lateral deflection). This is done in particular via a guide rail, which is described below.
The safety device is in particular intended to prevent deflection of the transport carrier in all directions.
CH 714 768 A2 The securing device can in particular be a locking device for locking the transport carrier on the floor or towards the floor. The locking device is by definition a mechanical device for locking the holding member against any kind of movement thereof.
[0055] The transport carrier is in particular designed in the form of a frame. The transport carrier comprises in particular carrier elements which form a linkage of the frame. The carrier elements can be present as profiles, such as hollow profiles.
The transport carrier can have a main carrier element, on which further carrier elements can be arranged. The carrier element can be designed in the form of arms.
The transport carrier can e.g. Form one, two or more than two reception places for a transport good. The transport stations are arranged one above the other, particularly in the vertical direction.
In one configuration, the transport carrier has a vertical main carrier element.
Furthermore, horizontal support elements can be arranged on the vertical main support element. The horizontal support elements can form horizontal supports for receiving transport goods. The horizontal support elements are preferably arranged at a right angle with respect to the main support element.
The main support member may be telescopic in the vertical direction, i.e. Include support elements which telescopically interlock. The vertical spacing of the e.g. through the horizontal support elements formed to be adapted to the goods to be transported.
Such a transport carrier is described, for example, in Swiss Patent Application No. 01350/17 dated November 9, 2017 by Ferag AG.
The holding member is in particular a post directed towards the floor, in particular vertically extending, such as support posts.
[0063] The holding member is in particular a profile or profile section directed towards the floor, in particular running vertically.
The holding member can in particular be arranged in the extension of the vertical main support element towards the floor or correspond to an extension of the vertical main support element towards the floor.
According to a further development, the holding member is vertically displaceable relative to the transport carrier.
The holding member is in particular arranged telescopically relative to the transport carrier on the transport carrier. The holding member is arranged telescopically in particular from a vertical support element, such as the main support element. The distance between the holding member and the floor of the loading space can be adjusted by means of the displaceability or telescopability.
According to a development of the invention, the securing device is designed such that it presses mechanically against the holding member, in particular from below against the holding member in the securing position, and thus fixes the holding member towards the floor, i.e. locked.
In a passive position, the securing device or its securing elements are not in a securing, mechanical operative connection with the holding member. In the passive position, the holding member is in particular spaced from the securing device or from its securing elements. In the passive position of the securing device, the transport carrier can be moved above the floor of the loading space, at least in the loading and unloading direction.
According to a special embodiment, the securing device comprises an expansion body which, in an expanded state, assumes a locking position in which the securing device locks the at least one transport carrier on the floor via the holding member, i.e. guaranteed.
The expansion body secures the holding member in particular against vertical movement. The expansion body can also secure the holding member against deflection transversely and / or parallel to the associated loading space rail.
The expansion body can be designed so that it acts mechanically in the locking position on the holding member, in particular presses against it. The expansion body can act mechanically on the holding member, in particular from below, or press against it. The mechanical action can be direct or indirect, e.g. via another component of the locking device.
Due to the mechanical action on the holding member, this is secured in particular against displacement or deflection parallel to the floor.
If the securing device or the expansion body acts on the holding member from below, this can, in addition to securing, also relieve the weight of the carriage. This means that a part of the weight of the transport carrier with transport goods is diverted into the safety device or into the floor of the loading space and no longer rests on the carriage. It can also be provided that the securing device takes up the entire weight load and introduces it into the ground. The carriages are completely relieved.
CH 714 768 A2 [0074] As a result, the carriages and the loading space rail are protected and wear is reduced. The weight relief can in particular damage the carriage, e.g. bending of the strut body can be avoided.
In the passive position, the expansion body is in particular in an unexpanded state. In this state, the expansion body is spaced apart from the holding member, or further apart compared to the locking position.
The expansion body is in particular a hollow body that can be filled with a fluid.
This expands when filled with the fluid and is compacted again when emptied, either by external force (for example weight load), by restoring forces (for example own weight) or by generating a negative pressure acting on the fluid in the hollow body (for example by pumping) ,
The expansion body is in the secured position in the filled state and in the passive position in the deflated state. However, the expansion body does not necessarily have to be completely filled in the securing position, nor does it need to be completely emptied in the passive position.
The expansion body can be operated pneumatically. The fluid is in particular a gas or gas mixture, such as air. The expansion body can be connected, for example, to a vehicle's internal compressed air system, and can be filled with compressed air via this.
However, the expansion body can also be operated hydraulically. The fluid in this case is a liquid, such as water or an aqueous liquid.
It can be provided that a separate expansion body is provided for each transport carrier in the loading space, so that the expansion bodies can be actuated individually and the transport carriers can be locked and released individually accordingly.
However, it can also be provided that a common expansion body is provided for a plurality of transport carriers in the loading space, so that a plurality of transport carriers can be locked and released via a common expansion body.
That is, the expansion body can be brought into a locking operative connection with the holding members of a plurality of transport carriers arranged in the loading space.
[0084] It can be provided that the transport carriers are secured in groups. In particular, a common expansion body can be provided for each row of transport carriers, so that the transport carriers of a row e.g. can be secured and solved together. In the case of several rows of transport carriers, the transport carriers can be secured or released in rows in this way.
[0085] A number of transport carriers extend in particular along a loading space rail.
It is even possible that a common expansion body is provided for all transport carriers in the loading space. According to this embodiment variant, all transport carriers can in particular be secured together in this way.
The expansion body can be designed as a flat body.
The expansion body can for example be designed like a pillow, mattress or mat.
The expansion body can extend flatly, such as partially or over the entire area, over the floor of the loading space.
The expansion body has in particular the shape mentioned above if a common expansion body is provided for several or all transport carriers.
The expansion body can also be tubular. This embodiment is used in particular when a common expansion body is provided for a number of transport carriers.
The expansion body can contain one or more hollow chambers which can be filled with the fluid. Hollow chambers are also meant in the broad sense to mean a pore structure, such as that e.g. can be found in a foam.
[0093] The hollow chambers can be connected to one another or closed. If the expansion body contains several closed hollow chambers, these must be filled individually with the fluid.
So it can be provided that for several transport carriers, e.g. for a group, such as a row of transport carriers, or for all transport carriers, a common expansion body is provided, however, with several closed chambers, so that the transport carriers can still be locked individually or in groups.
The securing device is in particular designed such that it forms a positive or frictional or a combination of positive and frictional securing contact with the holding member in the securing position.
[0096] According to a further embodiment, the securing device comprises a locking mechanism with at least one bolt for securing the transport carrier or the holding member against deflection.
CH 714 768 A2 [0097] The locking mechanism can contain a bolt which, when viewed in the securing position, is arranged in front of the holding member, in particular in a loading direction.
[0098] The locking mechanism can include a bolt which, when viewed in the securing position, in particular in a loading direction, is arranged behind the holding member.
The bolt can be designed as a bracket or claw.
The bolt is in particular movably mounted. The bolt can be pivoted between a passive position and a securing position. The bolt can also be linearly displaceable between a passive position and a securing position.
The locking mechanism is used in particular together with a guide rail described below. The latch can e.g. be movable transversely to the guide rail between a passive position and a securing position.
[0102] The latch can thus be fastened to the guide rail. The latch can be pivotally attached to the guide rail. The bolt can be attached to the guide rail in a linearly displaceable manner.
The bar is arranged in the passive position in particular such that the holding member can be moved both in the loading direction and in the unloading direction, i.e. is movable. In the securing position, the bolt therefore blocks the holding element with respect to a movement in the loading direction and / or unloading direction.
It can be provided that the bolts of a strand or a number of transport carriers are controlled or actuated centrally.
The bolt serves in particular to secure the transport carrier against deflection. According to a special development, the bolt serves to secure the transport carrier against deflection parallel to the associated loading space rail.
If a guide rail is provided, the latch serves in particular to secure the transport carrier against swiveling parallel to the guide rail. The guide rail also serves in particular to secure the transport carrier against lateral pivoting, that is to say transversely to the guide rail or to the loading and unloading direction.
[0107] It can be provided that the bolts arranged along a guide rail are controlled or actuated centrally.
According to a special embodiment variant, the securing device can contain both an expansion body and a locking mechanism, as described in each case in the present application. According to this variant, the two security mechanisms complement each other.
According to a development of the invention, the securing device, as already mentioned above, comprises a guide rail in which the holding member is guided, in particular laterally. The holding member is secured in the guide rail in particular against lateral pivoting or deflection.
Lateral means, in particular, transversely to the loading space rail or guide rail. The guide rail serves in particular to guide and secure a number of transport carriers.
The guide rail runs in particular parallel to the cargo hold rail. The guide rail runs in particular below the loading space rail.
In particular, it can be provided that a guide rail is provided for a row of transport carriers, in particular one behind the other, of a loading space rail.
[0113] The guide rail is in particular a profile directed towards the ceiling. The guide rail has in particular at least one guide flange directed towards the ceiling. This serves in particular for the lateral guidance of the holding member.
The guide rail can e.g. a profile that is open at the top or towards the ceiling. The profile can be a U-profile, a V-profile or a C-profile. The side walls or profile flanks correspond to the guide flange.
The at least one guide flange thus limits the lateral movement of the transport carrier in the locking position. If the guide rail comprises a U, C or V profile, the holding element in the securing position extends in particular between the two side walls into the U, C or V profile.
The profile can also be a T-profile, wherein the profile shaft is directed towards the ceiling and corresponds to the guide flange.
If the securing device contains an expansion body, this can be arranged below the guide rail. The expansion body can thus be able to raise the guide rail into a securing position and lower it into a passive position.
The securing position is achieved in particular by expanding and the passive position is achieved by compacting the expansion body.
CH 714 768 A2 [0119] However, the expansion body can also be arranged on or in the guide rail facing the holding member.
According to a further development, it can be provided that the securing device contains an elastically deformable contact body for forming a securing contact with the holding member.
[0121] In the securing position, the contact body is pressed in particular against a contact surface of the holding member. As a result, the mechanical operative contact already mentioned above is established, which brings about the securing of the holding member.
The elastic properties of the contact body generate an additional pressing force on the holding member.
[0123] The contact body can be made of plastic. The contact body can in particular be made of an elastomer. The contact body can be a foam body. The contact body can e.g. be made of foam rubber.
The contact body can be characterized in particular by a high coefficient of friction, which counteracts slipping of the holding member.
[0125] The elastic contact body can be arranged between an expansion body and the holding member. The elastic contact body can also be part of an expansion body and e.g. form an outer wall of the expansion body.
If the locking device comprises a guide rail, the elastic contact body can be arranged on or in the guide rail. The contact body is directed in particular towards the holding member.
[0127] The carriage may comprise a single or a plurality of interconnected carriage bodies. The carriage can in particular consist of a carriage body.
According to a special embodiment, the carriage has two carriage bodies which are arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement or in the longitudinal direction of the loading space or transport rail (longitudinal direction of the rail) and which are connected to one another by a strut body.
[0129] The direction of movement corresponds to the direction in which the carriage moves along the rail.
The carriage bodies each have at least one, in particular several, rollers.
The carriage according to this embodiment ensures a high level of stability and smoothness when conveying the transport carriers equipped with the goods to be transported.
The carriages are secured in the transport position in the loading space against displacement along the loading space rail. This can be done, for example, by fixing the carriages along the loading space rail between a front and rear stop, in particular clamping them.
Depending on the position of the carriages in the loading space, the stops can be of leading and trailing, i.e. neighboring carriages, or of stop members, which are arranged in the loading space of the transport container, are formed.
For this purpose, the carriages form, in particular, front and rear contact surfaces in the direction of movement, via which identical carriages can be pushed against one another in order to assume a transport position in the loading space without the transport carriers or the transport goods transported with the transport carriers touching one another in the transport position ,
When viewed in the direction of movement, the carriages in particular each form a front and rear contact element. The contact members form the contact surfaces over which the carriages can rest or touch one another.
Carriages of identical construction can thus be pushed together along a loading space rail, these touching one another via the contact surfaces of the contact members, but without the transport carriers or the transport goods transported with the transport carriers touching one another.
The carriages in particular also perform the function of a spacer for adjacent transport carriers.
The carriages have a greater width in the running direction than the transport carriers or the transport carriers with the transport goods carried on them.
[0139] The carriages can now be arranged one behind the other in the transport position in the loading space and can touch one another via the contact surfaces of the contact members. The foremost carriage in a loading direction can rest against a front stop element of the transport container via the contact surface of the front contact member. The rearmost carriage in a loading direction can rest against a rear stop element of the transport container via the contact surface of the rear contact member.
[0140] The rear stop element can be a movable bolt which, following the loading process, secures the carriage against displacement in the unloading direction.
CH 714 768 A2 [0141] The rear stop element can also be a locking mechanism, such as a locking screw, by means of which a transfer rail, which will be described below, can be connected to the loading space rail.
In this way, the carriages are virtually clamped between the front and rear stop element, as a result of which the carriages and with them the transport carriers are secured against displacement along the loading space rail.
A further aspect of the invention relates to a system for transporting transport goods held in the transport position in the loading space of a transport container.
[0144] According to the invention, the system comprises:
- At least one transport carrier for holding at least one transport good and a carriage arranged above and connected to the transport carrier;
- A transport rail for hanging transport of the at least one transport carrier to the transport container;
- At least one loading space rail arranged in the loading space of the transport container.
[0145] The at least one transport carrier can be moved or transported hanging over the carriage along the transport rail and along the at least one loading space rail and can be held in the loading space in a transport position hanging below the at least one loading space rail.
According to the invention, the carriage comprises at least one roller and forms at least one sliding surface, the carriage, the transport rail and the loading space rail being designed and arranged in such a way that the running carriage is rolling along the transport rail and slidably movable along the loading space rail.
[0147] The at least one loading space rail is arranged in particular on the ceiling of the transport container. The at least one loading space rail is in particular fastened directly or indirectly to the ceiling of the transport container. This can be done using a fastening device. The cargo hold rail can lie directly on the ceiling or can be suspended from the ceiling.
The at least one loading space rail is aligned in the loading space in particular parallel to the loading and unloading direction. The at least one loading space rail is aligned in the loading space in particular parallel to a vehicle longitudinal direction.
The loading and unloading direction run in particular parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
As mentioned, the transport carriers can be lined up one behind the other in the loading position in the transport position along the loading space rail.
[0151] According to a further development, the transport container contains several loading space rails arranged next to one another. The loading space rails in particular run parallel to one another.
If the loading space contains a plurality of loading space rails arranged in parallel next to one another, a plurality of rows with transport carriers arranged one behind the other along the loading space rails can be created in the loading space. The rows are arranged next to one another in the loading or unloading direction or in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
[0153] The transport position of the transport carriers is achieved in particular when the carriages lined up one behind the other touch via the contact members.
The system can comprise a transfer device, such as a rail switch, via which the feeding transport rail and the at least one loading space rail are coupled to one another for loading.
In this way, the at least one transport carrier can be steered from the feeding transport rail of the overhead conveyor onto the loading space rail in the transport container.
According to a further development of the invention, the at least one transport carrier can be guided by the transfer device from the supplying transport rail optionally onto one of several, in particular parallel, loading space rails in the transport container.
[0157] The transfer device can be arranged in the transport container itself. It is also possible for the transfer device to be arranged outside or in front of the transport container and consequently not to be part of the transport container.
The transfer device can comprise a pivotably mounted transfer rail. The transfer rail can be designed such that the carriage can be moved in a rolling manner along the transfer rail.
The transfer rail comprises, in particular, a rolling profile. In cross section, the rolling profile is in particular of the same design as the rolling profile of the feeding transport rail described above.
The transfer rail can be connected to the supplying transport rail via a connecting rail. The transfer rail is in particular pivotally attached to the connecting rail.
[0161] The connecting rail is in particular designed in such a way that the carriage can be moved in a sliding manner along the connecting rail. The connecting rail comprises in particular a sliding profile.
CH 714 768 A2 [0162] The cross section of the slide profile is in particular the same as that of the slide profile to the loading space rail described above. In this case, the profile limbs in particular delimit a receiving space for receiving the end section of the transfer rail or the transport rail or of their rolling profiles. The profile legs laterally limit the receiving space when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the rail. The receiving space is particularly open at the bottom. The receiving space is particularly closed at the top.
The connecting rail or its sliding profile is in particular designed such that it can accommodate the end section of the transfer rail or its rolling rail. This means that the transfer rail is inserted into the connecting rail with the formation of a coupling section with one end section.
The transfer rail inserted into the connecting rail is in particular fastened to the connecting rail end so that it can be pivoted horizontally. It can be attached using a screw connection, the screw shaft forming the swivel axis.
The connecting rail can have an elongated hole opening which extends in the longitudinal direction of the rail and through which the screw connection is guided. The slot opening allows the insertion depth of the transfer rail into the connecting rail to be adjusted.
[0166] The connecting rail or its sliding profile is also in particular designed such that it can accommodate the end section of the transport rail or its rolling profile. This means that the transport rail is pushed into the connecting rail with the formation of a coupling section with one end section.
[0167] The transport rail and transfer rail each engage with one end section at the two opposite ends of the connecting rail.
[0168] The loading space rail or its sliding profile is also in particular designed such that it can accommodate the end section of the transfer rail or its rolling profile. This means that the transfer rail can be inserted into the loading space rail with the formation of a coupling section with one end section.
The transfer rail can be releasably attachable to the cargo space rail via a locking mechanism such as a locking screw.
The connecting rail or its sliding profile and the transport rail or its rolling profile and the transfer rail or its rolling profile are now in particular designed such that the carriages in the coupling sections in which the transfer rail or the transport rail are pushed into the connecting rail or is introduced, with its sliding surfaces rest on the slideways of the connecting rail and the rollers of the carriage are thereby spaced from the running surfaces of the transport or transfer rail inserted into the connecting rail, so that no rolling contact is formed.
The carriages are in particular raised by the connecting rail via the sliding contact relative to the transport or transfer rail, so that the rollers are lifted off the running surfaces of the transport or transfer rail.
The same applies in particular to the coupling section between the transfer rail and the loading space rail.
Functionally, the transport container has a loading opening, which in particular also corresponds to the unloading opening.
[0174] The transport container can be part of a commercial vehicle.
[0175] The transport container can correspond to the construction of a commercial vehicle, such as a truck (truck), which receives transport goods.
However, the transport container can also correspond to a rail freight wagon or a freight container (e.g. an ISO container), as it e.g. used in international transportation. Freight containers are transported, for example, by plane, ship, train or truck.
As already mentioned above, the transport carrier can be part of an overhead conveyor system. This allows the transport carriers with the transport goods held by them to be conveyed via a transport rail of the overhead conveyor into a loading zone, e.g. to a loading ramp.
In the loading zone, the loading space rail is coupled to the transport rail of the overhead conveyor via the transfer device, so that the transport carriers can be moved from the transport rail of the overhead conveyor via the transfer device to the loading space rail in the transport container and can be loaded in this way.
The present invention also relates to a method for transporting transport goods between a loading zone and an unloading zone in a transport container by means of a system described above.
The method comprises the following steps:
- Conveying the transport carriers with the transport goods in a hanging position along the transport rail of a conveying overhead conveyor into a loading zone;
CH 714 768 A2
- Transfer of the transport carrier from the transport rail of the overhead conveyor to be conveyed to a loading space rail in the transport container by means of the transfer device (90), and
- Loading the transport carrier in a hanging position in the loading space of the transport container.
[0181] The transport carriers are then particularly secured in the loading space of the transport container.
The method is distinguished in that the carriages roll along the transport rail and slide along the loading space rail.
[0183] The secured transport carrier is particularly aligned in a hanging position. This means that the transport carrier does not necessarily have to be suspended from the loading space rail in a secured position, but is in such a position.
[0184] In this way, the securing means can ensure that the secured transport carrier is supported completely on the ground, so that no weight load is placed on the carriage. In this case, the transport carrier is no longer suspended but is supported on the floor. However, the carrier is still in a hanging position.
[0185] According to a special embodiment of the invention, the transport carrier is also suspended in the secured state.
In a development of the method, this comprises the following steps:
- Unloading the transport carriers from the transport container in a hanging position and transferring the transport carriers from the loading space rail of the transport container to the transport rail of a suspended conveyor that transports away by means of the transfer device;
- The transport carrier with the goods to be transported away along the transport rail of the conveying overhead conveyor from the unloading zone in a hanging position, the carriages sliding along the loading space rail and rolling along the transport rail.
For unloading the transport container, this can e.g. at the end opposite the discharge opening, be lifted on one side, e.g. with an inclination of approx. 2 ° (angle degree), so that the transport carriers automatically slide out of the transport container due to the inclination by means of gravity support.
The system according to the invention enables the transport goods to be loaded directly from a overhead conveyor into the loading space of a transport container without the transport goods e.g. on pallets or transport racks, and without having to use industrial trucks.
An analogous procedure is also possible when unloading the transport carriers. The transport carriers can be unloaded in the unloading zone, e.g. in the loading ramp, directly to the transport rail of a overhead conveyor that transports away. Correspondingly, in the unloading zone, the loading space rail in the transport container is coupled to the transport rail of the conveying overhead conveyor via the transfer device, so that the transport carriers can be guided from the loading space rail of the transport container onto the transport rail of the conveying overhead conveyor and can be unloaded in this way.
[0190] Otherwise, the features of the first and second aspect of the invention can be combined with one another.
[0191] The sliding guidance of the carriages along the loading space rail provides, on the one hand, for increased frictional resistance, which helps to secure the carriage against displacement along the loading space rail. In addition, the castors are relieved in the transport position and accordingly also protected, since the weight load is diverted to the loading space rail via the sliding surfaces.
The formation of the connecting rail as a slide rail further allows the carriage to be forwarded from the connecting rail to the transfer rail regardless of the pivoting position of the transfer rail.
As already mentioned above, the invention relates in particular to the handling of large-dimensional, bulky and, in particular, sensitive transport goods. Such goods can e.g. Components or workpieces, such as:
-Automobile parts, such as front or rear aprons;
- sanitary products, such as bathtubs; or
- Building components, such as windows (frames) or doors.
The system according to the invention not only significantly reduces the loading and unloading effort, but also lowers the risk of damage to the transport goods during loading and unloading and, thanks to the securing device according to the invention, also during transport.
The subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments which are illustrated in the accompanying figures. Each shows schematically:

In principle, the same parts are provided with the same reference symbols in the figures.
To understand the invention, certain features are not shown in the figures. The exemplary embodiments described below are merely examples of the subject matter of the invention and have no restrictive effect.
1 shows a perspective view of a transport carrier 2 which is suspended from a loading space rail 17 via a carriage 4 and which is loaded with a cargo 1, in the present case it is a U-shaped front apron for cars. The carriage 4 comprises two carriage bodies 6a, 6b arranged one after the other and spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the rails, each with at least one roller 5. The carriage bodies 6a, 6b are connected to one another to form the carriage 4 by a strut element 7. The carriage 4 can be moved in a rolling manner along the loading space rail 17 via the carriage bodies 6a, 6b.
The transport carrier 2 comprises a multi-part, vertical main carrier element 40 with a plurality of carrier parts which can be telescopically displaced in relation to one another. By vertically telescoping the main carrier element 40, the vertical distances of the supports formed by the horizontal carrier elements 41 can be adapted to the dimensions of the goods to be transported 1.
Furthermore, the transport carrier 2 contains three horizontal, angled carrier elements 41 arranged vertically one below the other, each of which forms a support or a receiving space for a transport good 1. The transport carrier 2 is designed to accommodate a maximum of three goods 1 on top of each other. In Fig. 1 there is only one transport item 1 on an upper support. In Figs. 2, 3 and 5 to 8, on the other hand, all supports are each with a transport item 1, i.e. a U-shaped front apron.
The horizontal support elements 41 are also formed in several parts, the support parts of which are telescopically displaceable relative to one another. As a result, the size of the supports formed by the carrier elements 41 can be adapted to the dimensions of the goods to be transported 1.
The main carrier element 40 is detachably connected to the strut element 7 via an angled fastening arm 42. A bearing element 42, which couples the angled fastening arm 42 to the strut element 7, enables the main carrier element 40 to be pivoted about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the strut element 7.
CH 714 768 A2 The carriage 4 forms a leading and a trailing contact element 8a, 8b, each with a contact surface. Along the loading space rail 17, identically arranged carriages 4 touch each other in the transport position via the contact surface of their contact members 8a, 8b or abut one another via the mentioned contact surfaces.
2 to 3 and 5 to 8 each show a truck loaded with transport carriers 2, each of which is loaded with transport goods 1. In the present exemplary embodiment, the transport carriers 2 correspond to the transport carrier 2 described in FIG. 1. However, the transport carrier 2 can also be designed differently.
The transport carriers 2 with the goods to be transported 1 are conveyed into the loading zone via a feeding transport rail 31 of a hanging conveyor (not shown) and are transferred there to a loading space rail 17 attached to the ceiling 12 in the loading space 11 of a truck body. Several transport carriers 2 are lined up one behind the other along the loading space rail 17 in the loading space 11. Carriages 4 adjacent along the loading space rail 17 abut each other in the transport position via the contact surface of their contact members 8a, 8b.
As can be clearly seen from FIGS. 2 to 3 and 5 to 6, the carriages 4 also have the function of a spacer in that they prevent the transport carriers 2 or the goods 1 from touching in the transport position.
The front contact element 8b of the foremost transport carrier 2 in the loading direction B comes into contact with a front stop 44 in the loading space 11 in the transport position. The rear contact member 8b of the rearmost transport carrier 2 comes into contact with a rear stop in the loading space 11 in the transport position. This is designed as a locking bar 19.
Following the loading of the rearmost and correspondingly last transport carrier 2 of a series of transport carriers 2, the locking latch 19 is closed and comes into contact with the rear contact element 8a of the rearmost transport carrier 2. As a result, the row of carriages 4 between the front and rear stop 44, fixed and quasi pinched. The carriages 4 are secured against movement along the loading space rail 17.
Since the transport carrier 2 is now connected in an articulated manner to the carriage 4 via the bearing element 43 (see FIG. 1), it can vibrate despite the carriages 4 secured or locked along the loading space rail 17 due to acceleration forces during transport and eg collide with other carriers.
It is therefore provided that the transport carriers 2 are also secured towards the floor 13 of the loading space 11, i.e. be locked.
For this purpose, the transport support forms a support post 3 directed towards the floor 13, which is arranged in the extension of the vertical main support element 40 or is designed as an extension thereof.
As shown in Fig. 7a and 7b, the support post 3 can be telescopically mounted on the main support member 40. In this way, the distance between floor 13 and support post 3 can be adjusted. This can e.g. be necessary if the main support element 40 is also adjustable in length.
The support post 3 is designed in such a way that it is not locked, i.e. unsecured transport carrier 2 forms a distance from the floor 13 of the loading space. This allows the undisturbed loading and unloading of the transport carriers 2 (see FIGS. 2, 5, 7a and 8).
The transport carrier 2 is now locked or secured via the support post 3 on the floor 13 by bringing the support post 3 into mechanical contact with a locking device 20 on the floor 13. This contact should in particular prevent the pivoting of the transport carrier 2 (see FIGS. 6 and 7b).
According to the invention, said locking device 20 comprises a pneumatically operated expansion body 23 which is filled and expanded with air for the purpose of establishing a mechanical contact between the support post 3 and the locking device, and which is used to release the mechanical contact between the support post 3 and the locking device 20 is compacted again by releasing air.
To establish the mechanical contact, the expanding expansion body 23 presses directly or indirectly from below against the support post 3, in particular against a bottom end face of the support post 3.
4a to 4c show a special embodiment of the locking device 20. At the bottom 13 of the loading space, an upwardly open, U-shaped guide rail 22 is let into a floor channel 27 with an undercut. A tubular expansion body 21 is arranged in the floor channel 27 below the guide rail 22 and extends in the longitudinal direction of the floor channel 27. The expansion body 21 can be filled with compressed air 26 via a compressed air device (not shown).
The guide rail 22 forms laterally arranged guide strips 29 which engage in the undercut of the floor channel 27. This arrangement prevents the guide rail 22 from being able to be lifted completely out of the floor channel 27. The guide rail 22 must accordingly be inserted laterally into the floor channel 27.
The support post 3 is aligned with the guide rail 22 in the transport position of the transport carrier 2 and engages with one end section in the U-shaped profile space. The lateral profile flanks 28a, 28b of the U-shaped guide
CH 714 768 A2 guide rail 22 form a side guide which prevents or at least limits a lateral pivoting out of the transport carrier 2, in particular also in the non-locked state.
At the bottom of the guide rail 22 is an elastic foam body 23, e.g. made of foam rubber.
To fix the transport carrier 2, the expansion body 21 is now filled with compressed air, which expands. Due to the expansion of the expansion body 21, the guide rail 22 is raised, that is to say towards the ceiling. In this process, the guide rail 22 is pressed against the end face of the support post 3 facing the floor 13, whereby the support post 3 is pressed into the elastic foam body 23. The foam body 23 ensures optimal frictional contact. The support post 3, and with it the transport support 2, is secured to the floor 13 by the frictional engagement, so that it can no longer deflect to either side.
When pushing up the guide rail 22 against the support post 3, there is also a weight relief for the carriage 4, since part of the weight load of the transport carrier 2 is now introduced into the floor of the loading space 11 via the guide rail 22.
Since the frictional connection between the support post 3 and the foam body 23 is not sufficient for reliably securing the transport carriers 2 to the floor 13 against excessive acceleration forces, such as can occur, for example, when braking hard, an additionally pivotably mounted on the guide profile 22 is provided Bolt 25 provided.
The latch 25 can be pivoted transversely over the guide profile 22 and thus additionally secures the support post 3 against pivoting in the loading direction B and in the unloading direction. The latch 25 is designed according to the present embodiment as a bracket and contains a first bracket bracket, which is pivoted in front of the support post 3, and a second bracket bracket, which is pivoted behind the support post 3, so that the support post 3 in the loading direction B both forward and is secured to the rear (see Fig. 7b).
According to a modified embodiment, the expansion body 21 can be dispensed with, so that the post or support post 3 is only secured against deflection via the guide profile 22 and the latch 25. The foam body 23 can optionally also be dispensed with.
The loading and unloading process is clearly illustrated with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. The transport carriers 2 loaded with the goods 1 are conveyed by trolleys 4 from a suspended conveyor and moved along the loading space rail 17 into the loading space 11 and lined up one behind the other along the loading space rail 17 in the loading space 11. The carriages 4 are arranged one behind the other in the transport position. The carriage 4 of the foremost transport carrier 2 of a row of transport carriers 2 abuts against a front stop 44 in the loading space 11 (FIG. 5).
After the loading process is complete, a previously opened loading latch 19 is closed. The closed loading latch 19 secures the carriage 4 against rolling out of the loading space 11 in the unloading direction B. The loading latch 19 also forms a rear stop for the carriage 4 and, together with the front stop 44, ensures that the impact on the impact along the Loading space rail 17 arranged carriage 4 can no longer move along the loading space rail 17, that is to say they are secured (FIG. 6).
[0228] Also after the loading process has been completed, the transport carriers 2 brought into the transport position are secured to the floor 13 of the loading space 11 against pivoting out (FIG. 6). For this purpose, as already described in connection with FIGS. 4a to 4c, the expansion body 21 is filled with compressed air, as a result of which a frictional locking contact is made with the support post 3 (FIG. 4b).
For additional securing of the support post 3 against large acceleration forces, the securing bracket 25, likewise described in connection with FIGS. 4a to 4c, is pivoted transversely over the guide rail 22, so that it additionally secures the support post against movement in the loading direction B and in the unloading direction (Fig. 4c and Fig. 7b).
The transport carriers 2 are now sufficiently secured and ready for transport with a transport vehicle, in the present exemplary embodiment a truck.
At the destination, in order to unload the transport carriers 2, the securing brackets 25 on the guide rail 22 are pivoted back into their open position, the frictional locking contact between the support post 3 and the guide rail 22 by releasing air and consequently compressing the expansion body 21, so that the mechanical locking contact between the transport carrier 2 and the locking device 20 on the floor 13 is canceled again.
Furthermore, the loading latch 19 is also moved back into the open position, so that the transport carriers 2 with the transport goods 1 can be moved out of the loading space 11 in succession along the loading space rail 17.
In order to simplify the unloading, the truck body can be raised slightly on the cabin side, so that the transport carriers 2 roll out of the loading space automatically along the loading space rail 17 due to the gradient generated in the direction of the loading opening (FIG. 8).
CH 714 768 A2 The loading space 11 can have a plurality of loading space rails 17 arranged in parallel next to one another, each of which accommodates a row of transport carriers 2 (FIG. 9). In order to feed the transport carriers 2 to the individual loading space rails 17 during loading, a switch 30 is provided between the transport rail 31 feeding from the overhead conveyor and the loading space rails 17 in the loading space 11, via which the transport carriers 2 can be fed to the individual loading space rails 17 in the loading space 2.
The same, of course, also applies to unloading. Here, the switch 30 is used to feed the transport carriers from the individual loading space rails 17 to a common, leading transport rail 31 of an overhead conveyor. Instead of the switch shown in FIG. 9, a transfer device 90, as described below, can also be provided.
The embodiment variant shown in FIG. 10 of a transfer device 90 for transferring the carriages 4 with the transport carriers 2 from a feeding transport rail 31 to one of several loading rail rails 67 arranged parallel to one another in the loading space of a transport container comprises a connecting rail 69 and a horizontally pivotable one Connection rail 69 attached transfer rail 68.
The transport rail 31 and the transfer rail 68 are designed as running rails and comprise rolling profiles, along which the carriages 4 roll over their running wheels 76a, 76b. The transport rail 31 and the transfer rail 68 or their rolling profiles are of identical design in cross section.
The weight of the carriage 4 and the transport carrier 2 fastened thereon is correspondingly transferred to the transport or transfer rail 31, 68 via the rollers 76a, 76b. The rollers 76a, 76b therefore have the function of idlers.
In contrast, the connecting rail 69 and the loading space rail 67 are designed as sliding rails and each comprise a sliding profile. The connecting rail 69 and the loading space rail 67 are of identical design in cross section.
The weight of the carriage 4 and the transport carrier 2 fastened thereon is correspondingly transferred to the loading space or the connecting rail 67, 69 via sliding surfaces.
The feeding transport rail 31 or its rolling profile is inserted or inserted with an end section at a first end of the connecting rail 69 into this or into its sliding profile.
Furthermore, the transfer rail 68 or its rolling profile is inserted or inserted with an end section at a second end opposite the first end of the connecting rail 69 into this or into its sliding profile.
[0244] Both the transport rail 31 and the transfer rail 68 are connected to the connecting rail 69 via screw connections 86. The screw connections 86 are each guided through an elongated hole opening 72 in the connecting rail 69.
The elongated hole opening 72 allows the insertion or insertion depth of the transfer rail 68 or the transport rail 31 to be set in the connecting rail 69.
[0246] The screw axis of the screw connection forms a pivot axis for pivoting the transfer rail 68 horizontally relative to the connecting rail 69.
The transfer rail 68 can be pivoted between the three loading space rails 67 shown, so that the carriages 4 can optionally be fed to one of the loading space rails 67.
To connect the transfer rail 68 to one of the loading space rails 67, the transfer rail 68 is inserted into the loading space rail 67 with an end section in a corresponding pivot position and fixed by means of a locking screw 70.
The elongated hole guide on the connecting rail 69 enables the insertion or insertion depth of the transfer rail 68 to be set in the connecting rail.
The elongated hole guide also makes it possible to insert the transfer rail 68, which has already been inserted or inserted into the connecting rail 69 at one end, into the loading space rail 67 from different pivot positions.
As described in more detail below, in this way the carriage 4 can be alternately transported in a rolling and sliding manner to a loading space rail 67 from the feeding transport rail 31 in the loading direction B via the connecting rail 69 and the connecting rail 68 adjoining it, and transferred to the loading space rail 67.
11 shows a detailed view of a loading space rail 67 with a carriage 4. The design of the loading space rail 67 as a sliding rail is described in more detail below in connection with FIG. 14.
11, the front end section of the loading space rail 67 in the loading direction B is clearly visible. In this end section, a stop element 71 is arranged, which forms a front end stop for the carriage 4.
CH 714 768 A2
This limits the movement of the carriage 4 in the loading direction B. The stop element 71 is designed here as a screw which crosses the rail profile.
12 shows a detailed view from the area of the connecting rail 69, from which it is particularly clear how the transfer rail 68 is inserted with one end section into the connecting rail 69 and via a screw connection 86 guided through an elongated hole 72 with the connecting rail 69 is connected. It is also shown how a carriage 4 rolls or slides from the transport rail 31 via the connecting rail 69 onto the transfer rail 68.
[0255] FIG. 13a shows a rail arrangement according to the invention with a transfer device in a side view. Viewed from right to left, the transport rail 31 feeding from an overhead conveyor is shown, followed by the connecting rail 69, which connects the transport rail 31 to a subsequent transfer rail 68. The transfer rail 68 ends in a loading space rail 67, on which a carriage 4 is arranged.
13b shows an enlarged section of the carriage 4 which is suspended from the loading space rail 67.
Also shown is the locking screw 70 arranged in the loading direction B in the rear end section of the loading space rail 67 for temporarily fastening an end section of a transfer rail 68 inserted or inserted into the loading space rail 67.
The locking screw 70 is also used to form a rear end stop for the rearmost carriage 4 in the loading direction B. The locking screw 70 thus also prevents the carriage 4 from moving against the loading direction B during transport.
13c shows the detail shown in FIG. 12 in a side view.
The cross-sectional view with carriage 4 shown in FIG. 14 along the line A-A is from that coupling section in which the transfer rail 68 is inserted into the connecting profile 69.
Since the sliding profiles of the connecting rail 69 and the loading space rail 67 and the rolling profiles of the transfer rail 68 and the transport rail 31 are each of identical design in cross section, the cross-sectional view from the coupling section in which the transport rail 31 into the connecting rail 69 and the transfer rail 68, respectively, also corresponds 14, the cross-sectional view according to FIG. 14. Furthermore, the description of the first carriage body 6a also applies to the second carriage body 6b of the same design.
The carriage 4 according to FIGS. 11 to 14 is the same carriage 4 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 9.
The connecting rail 69 has a downwardly open sliding profile with two spaced-apart longitudinal profile legs 73a, 73b. The profile legs 73a, 73b directed obliquely upwards form sliding edges. An edge protection profile 74 is attached to each of the profile legs 73a, 73b and forms a slideway for the carriage 4.
The transfer rail 68 or its rolling profile is arranged between the profile legs 73, 73b.
In cross-sectional view, the rolling profile of the transfer rail 68 has a first, laterally open, U-shaped profile section 83a with a first running surface 85a for receiving the first roller 76a of the carriage body 6a, and also a second, laterally open, U-shaped profile section 83b with a second running surface 85b for receiving the second roller 76b of the carriage body 6a, and a third downwardly open U-shaped profile section 83c for receiving the guide roller 77 of the carriage body 6a.
The two first and second profile sections 83a, 83b are arranged mirror-symmetrically to a vertical central longitudinal plane M of the rolling profile. Accordingly, the first and second profile sections 83a, 83b are open in opposite directions.
The third profile section 83c is also arranged mirror-symmetrically to the vertical central longitudinal plane M.
The first and second profile sections 83a, 83b are arranged spaced apart from one another and form an intermediate space 84 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the rolling profile. The screw connections 86 for fastening the transfer rail 68 to the connecting rail 69 or to the loading space rail 67 are guided through this intermediate space 84.
A lower profile leg of the first and second profile sections 83a, 83b forms the running surface 85a, 85b for the first and second rollers 76a, 76b, respectively.
The carriage body 6a of the carriage 4, as shown in a cross-sectional view in FIG. 14, contains a first and a second leg 80a, 80b. The two legs 80a, 80b, together with a connecting section 81 connecting them, form an encircling section which is U-shaped in cross section. This encircling section includes an open rail receiving space through which the transfer rail 68 or the transport rail 31 or its rolling profile runs. The carriage body 6a surrounds the transfer rail 68 with its surrounding section from below.
CH 714 768 A2 On the inside of the first and second legs 80a, 80b, a first and a second roller 76a, 76b facing the rail receiving space is arranged. The two rollers 76a, 76b form parallel axes of rotation.
On the inside of the connecting section 81 there is a guide roller 77 which also faces the rail receiving space and whose axis of rotation is oriented transversely to the axis of rotation of the rollers 76a, 76b. The guide roller 77 serves to guide the carriage 4 laterally.
On the outside on the first and second legs 80a, 80b, i.e. A sliding element 82a, 82b is arranged to point away from the rail receiving space. The sliding elements 82a, 82b each form a sliding surface 75a, 75b, via which the carriage body 6a rests on the sliding tracks of the connecting rail 69.
In addition, on the outside on the first and second legs 80a, 80b, i.e. pointing away from the rail receiving space, a driving element 87 for driving the carriage 4 by a driver (not shown) is arranged. As can be seen from FIG. 14, the transfer rail 68 or transport rail 31 and the connecting rail 69 or loading space rail 67 are designed and arranged relative to one another in the coupling section such that the carriage 4 or its carriage body 6a, 6b in Coupling section with their sliding surfaces 75 a, 75b rest on the sliding tracks of the connecting rail 69 or loading space rail 67, such that the rollers 76a, 76b make no contact with the running surfaces 85a, 85b of the transfer rail 68 or transport rail 31.
[0276] The carriages 4 thus slide in the coupling section exclusively with their carriage bodies 6a, 6b along the connecting rail 69 or loading space rail 67.
However, the rollers 76a, 76b are only lifted off the running surfaces in the coupling section, so that if the sliding guide is omitted by lowering the carriage 4, they come into contact with the running surfaces 85a, 85 of the transfer rail 68 and can roll along the transfer rail 68 ,
The same also applies to the coupling section between the transport rail 31 and the connecting rail 69 and between the transfer rail 68 and the loading space rail 67.
In carrying out the associated method, the carriage 4 is now fed from the overhead conveyor along the transport rail 31 to the loading zone in a rolling manner. In the transfer device 90, the carriage 4 rolls from the transport rail 31 onto the connecting rail 69 and slides over it onto the transfer rail 68 and continues to roll along the transfer rail 68 in the direction of the loading space rail 67 coupled to the transfer rail 68. The carriage 4 rolls off the transfer rail 68 onto the loading space rail 67 and slides along it into its transport position in the loading space of the transport container.
The loading space rail 67 and the transfer device 90 according to FIGS. 10 to 14 are also used in particular in the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 8.
15 consists of a single carriage body 106 and contains a first and second leg purple, 111b, which, together with a connecting section 112 connecting the two legs purple, 111b, form a cross-sectionally U-shaped encircling section. This enclosing section includes an open rail receiving space, in which the rolling profile of a transfer rail 68 or a transport rail 31 can run. The carriage 104 or the carriage body engages around the rolling profile with its surrounding section from below. The rolling profile can be designed according to FIG. 14.
On the inside of the first and second legs purple, 111b, a pairing of first and second rollers 105a, 105b facing the rail receiving space is arranged. The rollers 105a, 105b form parallel axes of rotation. The rollers 105a, 105b of a pairing are arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement.
On the inside of the connecting section 112 there is a guide roller 107 which also points towards the rail receiving space and whose axis of rotation is oriented transversely to the axis of rotation of the rollers 105a, 105b. The guide roller 107 serves to guide the carriage 104 laterally.
On the outside of the first and second leg purple, 111b, i.e. Pointing away from the rail receiving space, two sliding elements 109 spaced apart in the direction of movement are arranged. The slide elements 109 each form a slide surface 110, via which the carriage 104 of the slide can rest on a slide rail, which is, for example, a connecting rail 69 or a loading space rail 67.
The carriage 104 therefore contains a total of four sliding surfaces 110, which ensure that the carriage 104 cannot tilt in the direction of movement.
Furthermore, on the outside on the first and second leg purple, 111b, i.e. Pointing away from the rail receiving space, a driving element 113 is arranged for driving the carriage 104 by a driver (not shown). The driving element 113 is arranged between two sliding elements 109 which are spaced apart in the direction of movement.
The carriage 104 also forms leading and trailing contact members 108, each with a contact surface. Trolleys 104 of identical construction which are arranged adjacent to each other along the loading space rail 67 touch in the
