Definitions

  • the invention relates to a large container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is characterized in particular by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the features of the subclaims expediently design the invention.
  • a large container that has some of the generic features has become known from German patent application P 8497 1I / 20c.
  • This large container is the closed body of a railway freight wagon, the roof of which is split in two in the longitudinal center.
  • Each half of the roof created by the division in turn consists of two roughly the same halves, the two outer halves, with respect to the entire roof, i.e. the quarter of the roof, with their outer longitudinal edges hinged to the upper edges of the car body side walls and with their inner longitudinal edges articulated with the inner halves - again quarters, related to the entire roof - are connected.
  • the roof halves are pivoted about the joints between them and the upper edges of the body side walls and brought into a vertical position above the side walls, with the outer roof quarters extending upwards from the side walls and the inner roof quarters from the upper ends of the outer ones Hang down from the rooftop, behind the outer roof quarters when viewed from the side.
  • the roof is closed, one roof quarter continues in the other, and the inner roof quarters lie against each other with their inner longitudinal edges.
  • the adjustment movements of the individual roof parts are effected with a hand crank in the area of one vehicle's long side, which acts on two toggle lever arrangements via a spindle drive arranged in the area of the floor of the car and running in the transverse direction of the car and a transfer case, the outer ends of which are articulated on the inner edges of the inner roof areas.
  • a hand crank When the hand crank is actuated, a pivoting movement of each inner roof quarter is initiated, and the pivoting movements of the outer roof quarters are effected via the inner roof quarters.
  • This solution has the advantage that the roof can be adjusted between opening and closing position without much time, the closed roof closes the container or car body reliably upwards, while the open roof practically does not hinder access to the interior of the container and the roof in its Open position protrudes only slightly beyond the upper edges of the side walls.
  • hood parts with an angular cross section are formed, one of which has a horizontal leg a roof area and the other, vertical legs a side wall area; is and which are mounted so that a pair of hood parts can be moved over one of the end walls of the large container (DE-OS 33 00 354).
  • hood parts of the pair of hood parts which can be moved in this way lie opposite one another in the transverse direction of the container, and the hood parts of such a hood part.epair can also be removed from one another by first pivoting them around their lower longitudinal edges with a spreading device and then upwards and to the side be lifted out of the support rails before they are moved towards the container ends using common cables.
  • the object of the invention is to design a generic large container in such a way that it is still highly versatile.
  • it should be able to transport piece goods in a manner protected from the weather, without the means protecting against the weather being unreasonably hindering loading and unloading. They should be able to be removed so far without special effort that they do not significantly impede loading and unloading.
  • a large container with these solutions to problems should, however, be produced with little financial outlay and be able to be kept in an operable condition over a long period of time without great maintenance.
  • the large container according to the invention can be assigned as an independent component to a rail or road vehicle set up for the transport of such containers, or it can be integrated into such a vehicle as a structure of such a vehicle. In any case, it is cuboid with a long length in relation to the height and width.
  • the large container as a body can be part of a freight car designed as a rail vehicle, which is shown without a chassis, the design and connection of which is not essential to the invention and therefore should not be discussed in detail with the body designed according to the invention.
  • a conventional bogie is provided at each end of the vehicle, and the body is supported with its base frame on these bogies.
  • the base frame has two side lower side members 1 and 2, which are connected by a number of cross members 3.
  • the base frame is supplemented by a floor covering 4a placed on it and connected to it to form a floor plate 4.
  • a vertical end wall plate 5 is attached to each of the two ends of the base plate 4.
  • Each end wall plate 5 consists of two lateral vertical corner posts 6, 7, which are connected to one another by a corrugated metal sheet 8.
  • Each upper side member 9, 10 is designed as a tube with a torsionally stiff, for example round, cross section, which can be pivoted about its longitudinal axis and is mounted on the end plates 5 at its ends in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
  • a roller 11 is supported at each end of each side member so as to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis and is supported on the lower flange 12 of a running rail 13 which is fastened to an upper box member 14 of the respective end plate 5. If a force directed in the transverse direction of the vehicle acts on one of the two upper longitudinal beams, this longitudinal beam is adjusted in the transverse direction of the vehicle, while the rollers 11 roll at their two ends in their respective running rails 13. In this way, the two longitudinal members can be adjusted in the region of each of the two longitudinal sides of the vehicle, or one of the two upper longitudinal members can move over one of the two lower longitudinal members 1, 2.
  • a plurality of upper cross members Distributed uniformly over the length of the upper side members 9, 10 are a plurality of upper cross members, the two ends of which are firmly connected to one of the side members 9, 10 and each of which consists of three sections 15, 16, 17 which are connected to one another in an articulated manner.
  • One of the two outer sections 15 and 17 is fixedly connected at its outer end to one, the other to the other of the longitudinal members 9, 10, and an inner section is between the inner ends of the two outer sections 15, 17 of each upper cross member 16 articulated inserted, the pivot axes of the joints 15a, 17a are directed in the vehicle longitudinal direction.
  • each adjustment device is a spindle (38) drive, which is designed and arranged as follows.
  • an outer tube 20 is articulated with its upper end via a bracket 19, the pivot axis of the joint 21 pointing in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (FIG. 1, 2).
  • a nut 22 is inserted and fixed there, for example welded.
  • a threaded spindle 23 with an external thread is screwed into this nut 22 and the nut 22 and thus the outer tube 20 can be adjusted relative to one another, so that the length of the linkage consisting of the outer tube 20 and the threaded rod 23 can be changed telescopically.
  • a ring gear 24 is fastened, with which two ring wheels 25, 26 arranged coaxially with one another are engaged (FIG. 3).
  • the longitudinal axes of the bevel gears 25, 26 and the ring gear 24 intersect at an angle of 90 ° .
  • the gear with the three gear wheels 24-26 is arranged in a housing 27 which is pivotally mounted with pins 28, the common longitudinal axis of which intersects both the axis of rotation of the ring gear 24 and the axis of rotation of the bevel gears 25, 26.
  • the threaded spindle 23 is inserted rotatably about its longitudinal axis, an intermediate piece 29 serving to connect the threaded spindle 23 to the ring gear 24.
  • each double universal joint shaft 30 and 31 is inserted in a corresponding manner into the housing 27 about their longitudinal axes and connected to the bevel gears 25, 26, one of the double universal shafts 30, 31 being connected to one of the bevel gears 25, 26.
  • a manually operable crank 32 or 33 is assigned, in such a way that in the rest position each crank in a recess 34 or 35 of the lower longitudinal member 1, 2 or that enclosing these longitudinal members Base plate 4 is without lateral overhang. In this position there is no rotary connection between crank 32 or 33 and double universal joint shaft 30 or 31.
  • cranks 32 or 33 If a crank 32 or 33 is brought into its operating position by pulling it out of the recess 35 or 34, a rotary connection is simultaneously established between the crank and the associated double universal joint shaft.
  • This can be done, for example, in such a way that the cranks have a collar with internal toothing, and this collar sits in the inoperative position of the crank on a section of the double universal joint shaft with a smooth peripheral surface (no rotary connection), when the crank is brought into the operating position on a section of the Is brought double joint shaft, which has an external toothing corresponding to the internal toothing of the crank collar (rotary connection between the crank and the double cardan shaft).
  • a tarpaulin 37 is placed over the upper cross members 15-17 and lateral stanchions 36 of the vehicle according to the invention, which is detachably fastened at one end to a lower longitudinal member 1 and at the other end to the other lower longitudinal member 2 (FIG. 5). If the roof formed by the upper cross members 15-17 and the tarpaulin 37 is now to be opened, the closures at one end of the tarpaulin, for example the closures associated with the lower longitudinal member 1, are opened, while the closures on the side towards the roof to be opened, for example the closures belonging to the lower side member 2, remain closed.
  • the upper longitudinal beam remains stationary above the lower longitudinal beam with the closures not opened, while the other upper longitudinal beam when the inner section 16 of the upper cross beam coupled to the crank mechanism is raised above the corresponding outer section - in the example section 15 pulls the other upper side member, in the example the side member 10, to the side of the first-mentioned side member 9. Since all upper cross members are connected to each other via the upper side members, the entire roof is opened in this way.
  • the roof is closed in the reverse order.
  • springs 38 are arranged between the individual carrier sections 15 and 16 and 16 and 17, which are tensioned when the upper longitudinal members 9, 10 are approached to open the roof, and which relax when the direction of rotation of the respective hand crank 32 or 33 is reversed to remove the upper side members from each other again.
  • the stanchions 36 which are part of a vehicle according to the invention, are designed and mounted as follows (FIGS. 6-8).
  • the object is to be able to have the stanchions distributed on the two long sides of the base plate 4 in an upright position, but also to be able to have them in a folded-down, lying position in such a way that a smooth top of the base plate 4 through the folded stanchions -36 in none Way is affected.
  • each of the stanchions 36 consists of a relatively longer upper part 40 and a relatively shorter foot part 41.
  • the foot part and the upper part are welded to one another, but they are offset with respect to one another in the transverse direction of the vehicle and are connected to one another in the longitudinal direction to overlap.
  • the upper part has the shape of an I in cross section, with the relatively wide flanges on both ends of the web pointing in the vehicle longitudinal direction.
  • the stanchion 36 is pivotably mounted on a cross pin 42 of the base plate and can be fixed in a suitable manner in its two end positions.
  • the mounting by means of the pin 42 in the web of the side members 1 or 2 of the base plate 4 can take place between the upper and lower flange and the upper part 40 only by its thickness protrude the outer longitudinal edge of the top chord. Nevertheless, the foot part 41 is close to the web, so that the bearing pin 42 is loaded only by relatively low bending forces.
  • the individual stanchions 36 can follow one another at short intervals, because in the folded-out inoperative position they lie one behind the other in the areas of the foot parts and the top parts 40 of the stanchions follow one another directly at very short intervals. Relatively long stanchions 36 can thus be used, the upper stanchions immediately follow one another in the folded-down position, and when the stanchions are folded down there is a smooth, unimpaired upper side of the base plate 4.
  • transverse plates 43 are used to create pockets 44 on both sides of the profile web and between two profile flanges, into which a longitudinal member 45 can be inserted between two stanchions on each longitudinal side of the vehicle; these longitudinal beams 45 stabilize the stanchions 36 against one another and provide an additional lateral limitation (FIG. 10).
  • the longitudinal beams 45 can be removed from the areas between two successive stanchions 36 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and stowed in pairs in pockets 46 of the base plate 4.
