Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport container for the transport of heavy material plates, in particular glass plates.
  • a special vehicle For the transport over land a special vehicle is usually. a specially trained towing trailer for semi-trailers is used.
  • the known special vehicles are only suitable for the transport of glass and other plates together with the frame or for the transport of the empty frame.
  • Newer special vehicles e.g. described in EP-A1-0 677 424 can also be equipped for taking back broken glass from the glass consumer to the glass manufacturer. In any case, these special vehicles can only be used for specialized applications, namely for the transport of glass. As a result, the total number of such special vehicles required is relatively small. Due to the small number of pieces, these special vehicles are expensive to manufacture.
  • the frame together with the glass plates can also be transported in a large container.
  • a corresponding large container must be extremely solid and therefore heavy.
  • a special loading device is required to load and unload the rack loaded with glass plates into or out of the large container.
  • German Offenlegungsschrift DE-A-23 17 346 (Schwietert) describes a transport device for large glass plates with a support frame holding them essentially in a vertical position and a cover hood assigned to the support frame.
  • the hood is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic and completely encloses the frame together with the glass plates on the sides and upwards. This ensures that the hood provides good weather protection for the glass plates.
  • the transportability of the frame together with the glass plates and the hood as a whole is disadvantageously hampered because, when the hood is in place, the transport device can only be moved by means of a forklift, which can reach under a pallet combined with the support frame.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a transport container of the type mentioned at the outset, which is relatively light, enables simple loading and unloading of the material plates and is easy to transport as a whole.
  • a transport container for the transport of heavy material plates comprises an exchangeable frame for the standing transport of the material plates and a weatherproof hood which can be slipped over the frame, the hood being provided with suspension means which is designed to hang the entire transport container together with the material plates.
  • the transport container according to the invention thus essentially comprises two parts with clearly different functions.
  • the hood which is essentially the side walls and forms the roof of the transport container, serves to protect the material plates against the weather and to hang (in particular on a crane) the entire transport container together with the material plates.
  • the frame forming the bottom of the transport container serves to carry the material plates.
  • the hood has no function for carrying the heavy material plates.
  • the supporting or supporting function is taken over by the frame for the standing transport of the material plates.
  • the hood must therefore only be able to absorb tensile loads for large loads. Therefore, the hood of the transport device according to the invention can be much lighter than previous craneable (i.e. movable by means of a crane) transport container e.g. be designed in the form of large containers that are designed for comparable payloads.
  • the hood of the transport container according to the invention ensures adequate weather protection for the material plates.
  • the transportability of the transport container according to the invention is not hindered because the transport container as a whole (i.e. the frame together with the glass plates and the hood) can be crane-operated.
  • the hood of the transport container according to the invention is designed such that it can be put over the frame together with the material plates arranged thereon. This significantly simplifies the loading and unloading processes compared to a known transport container in the form of a large container.
  • the loading process is limited to putting the relatively light hood over the frame with the material plates.
  • the heavy load consisting of the frame and the material plates must be hoisted into the container. For unloading, the heavy load in turn has to be unloaded from the container in the large container, while in the transport container according to the invention only the light hood has to be removed from the frame.
  • the frame forming the bottom of the transport container according to the invention can be any conventional frame for material plates.
  • this frame or glass frame can be made from an L-frame that is customary for glass plates or an A-frame.
  • the upright support structure is attached to the longitudinal edge of a base plate. Due to their asymmetrical shape, L-frames are usually not craneable when loaded.
  • the support structure is arranged in the middle of the base plate, so that symmetrical loading of the frame is possible.
  • it must be extremely solid and therefore of heavy construction, since its support structure must ensure both the function of supporting the glass plates and the function of hanging the frame together with the glass plates.
  • A-frames can weigh up to 5,000 kg when empty. Therefore, in addition to the heavy, craneable A-frames, lighter A-frames that are not designed to be craned are often used.
  • the invention now creates the possibility of combining glass frames (both non-craneable A-frames and non-craneable L-frames) that are not themselves cranable in combination with a hood to form a transport container according to the invention and thus to make them cranable.
  • the transport container according to the invention is preferably dimensioned such that its external dimensions do not exceed the internationally agreed rail profile. Then the transport container with the frame, the hood and the material plates can be used as a self-sufficient transport unit on the road (e.g. using a customary, universally usable low loader), by rail on the rail, by ship on the water or even in a suitable air transport (in particular an air cargo ship, also called a cargo transport zeppelin). Reloading between the various modes of transport can be carried out using conventional cranes, such as are available at train stations and / or ports for the transport of goods.
  • the suspension means are provided with first coupling parts for optionally detachable coupling to corresponding coupling parts, which are attached to a first hanger that can be suspended on a crane.
  • the first coupling parts and the first hanger are designed to couple the entire transport container together with the material plates.
  • the transport container as a whole can optionally be hung on a crane.
  • the first coupling parts can comprise hooks or bolts and the coupling parts on the first hanger can comprise bolts or hooks, the hooks for hanging are formed on the corresponding assigned bolts.
  • the suspension means can be provided with second coupling parts for optionally detachable coupling to corresponding coupling parts, which are attached to the first or to a second suspension that can be suspended on a crane.
  • the second coupling parts can be attached to the hood at a position offset from the first coupling parts.
  • the hood of the transport container according to the invention can be provided with rollers or wheels in order to enable the hood to be easily moved on a flat floor.
  • the hood preferably comprises a hood frame that can be covered with a tarpaulin and a tarpaulin made of weatherproof material.
  • the hood frame can have a variety of brackets with which the tarpaulin is stretched.
  • the hood frame can also be equipped with reinforcing struts and / or tensioning ropes. -Cable be reinforced. This is particularly useful for transporting the transport container on trucks or railroads, where considerable wind forces can act on the transport container due to the high speed of travel.
  • the hood of the transport container has a base frame which has two parallel bars arranged in parallel, which are fixedly connected to one another by means of a cross bar arranged essentially at right angles to them.
  • the longitudinal beams and the transverse beam essentially form a U-shaped arrangement lying flat on the floor, the longitudinal beams forming the two legs and the transverse beam forming the connecting web of the U-shape.
  • the frame also has a connecting bar.
  • the connecting bar can be fastened parallel to the crossbar at the two ends of the longitudinal bar opposite the crossbar. If the connecting bar is fastened in its connecting position to the base frame of the hood, it has a substantially rectangular shape with the two longitudinal bars as lengths and the transverse bar and the connecting bar as widths.
  • the connecting bar can optionally be fastened in its connecting position to the longitudinal bar or by at least one of the longitudinal bars detachable and removable from the connection position.
  • the connecting bar When the connecting bar is removed, the hood can be pushed over the frame in the horizontal longitudinal direction with the U opening facing forward.

  • the connecting beam is pivotable about a vertical pivot axis at one end of one of the longitudinal beams and can be fastened to the other longitudinal beam and can be locked by means of a locking device in order to create a firm connection between the longitudinal beams.
  • a support device for the frame can be arranged and dimensioned such that when the hood is lifted, the frame is carried along, the support device being arranged on the base frame in such a way that it does not hinder the sliding in the longitudinal direction of the hood over the frame.
  • the support device can be provided with support blocks arranged displaceably on the base frame, the support blocks optionally being movable into a first position in which they take the frame with them when the hood is lifted, and in a second position in which they do not lift the frame when the hood is lifted take.
  • the hood can be used when the support blocks are pushed back, e.g. be lifted vertically upwards from the glass frame using a crane without the glass frame being taken along.
  • the hood can also be used with suspension elements such as fastening eyes, mortise holes or similar. be provided, which are designed to interact with conventional gripping means of a large container loading device in order to enable the lifting and moving of the transport container by means of a large container loading device.
  • a large container loading device is understood to be a device for gripping, lifting and moving large containers, such as a specially trained crane, a suitable forklift, a reach stacker or the like.
  • pockets for the gripping device of a reach stacker are used for this purpose arranged on the base frame of the hood.
  • reachstacker pockets can be arranged on the hood at the level of a conventional truck chassis, so that the reachstacker has the hood with customary gripping arms (so-called grips designed to grip truck trailers) Around the trailer legs).
  • the reachstacker pockets can also be arranged on the base frame of the hood, in which case longer gripping arms are required to grip around the hood.
  • the hood also has means for securing the material plates against tipping over and / or against undesired displacements on the frame. Such shifts can be caused by excessive acceleration forces during the transport of the material plates.
  • These securing devices can include hydraulic supports, mechanical spindles, etc. Include devices to support the material plates on the hood. They can be designed similarly to those securing means that are used to secure glass plates in so-called inloader glass transport vehicles.

If all of the support blocks 133, 134, 135 on the base frame are pushed inwards with respect to the hood 110 (as in the illustration in FIG. 8), then when the hood 110 is lifted upwards in the vertical direction, the support blocks 133, 134, 135 follow pushed against the corresponding projections 175 of the glass frame so that they take it with them. However, if the support blocks 133, 134, 135 on the base frame are pushed outwards with respect to the hood 110, the hood 110 can be lifted vertically upwards and removed from the glass frame without the glass frame being carried along by the hood.
  • Rollers 151, 152 are in turn arranged on the longitudinal beams 123 of the base frame of the hood 110 shown in FIG. 7, which enable the hood 110 to be easily moved on a flat floor 153.
  • the hood 110 shown in FIG. 7 is provided with hanging means for hanging the transport container.
  • the suspension means comprise a plate-shaped suspension part 161 on both longitudinal sides of the hood 110.
  • the two suspension parts 161 are arranged on the side of the longitudinal side walls in the upper region of the hood 110 and essentially in the longitudinal center thereof.
  • the suspension parts are each connected to the longitudinal beams 123 of the base frame by means of two tie rods 163, 164.
  • the tie rods 163, 164 are fastened to a lower region of the plate-shaped suspension parts 161 and extend from them in the diagonal direction down along the long sides of the hood 110 to fastening parts attached to the longitudinal beams 123.
  • the suspension parts 161 are each provided with a strong and correspondingly thick first bolt 167.1, 167.2 and with a weaker and thinner second bolt 168.1, 168.2, which are attached in an upper region of the plate-shaped suspension parts 161 and are essentially horizontally outward from the Hood away, stretch.
  • the bolts 167.1, 167.2, 168.1, 168.2 serve as coupling parts 167.1, 167.2, 168.1, 168.2 for coupling to corresponding coupling parts 181, 182, 191, 192 which are attached to the hangers 180, 190 described below.
  • the first pair of bolts 167.1, 167.2 is designed to cooperate with a first crane suspension 180 to hang the hood 110 together with a glass frame fully loaded with glass plates.
  • the second pair of bolts 168.1, 168.2 is designed to interact solely with a crane suspension 180 for hanging the hood 110.
  • the two crane hangings 180, 190 shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 are on attachable to a crane or a similar lifting device and serve to hang the hood 110 on this crane or this lifting device. For the sake of clarity, only the pair of bolts interacting with the respective crane suspension are shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 of the hood 110, while the rest of the hood 110 is omitted.
  • the first crane suspension 180 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is designed to hang the entire transport container together with the material plates, i.e. The hood 110 shown in FIG. 7 together with a glass frame fully loaded with glass plates can be suspended from the first crane hanging.
  • the first crane suspension 180 is therefore designed for maximum loads of approximately 40,000 kg and is correspondingly solid and heavy. It is also referred to below as a heavy crane suspension 180.
  • the heavy crane suspension 180 consists of a support beam 185 with an H-profile cross section, the length of which approximately corresponds to the width of the hood 110.
  • a plate-shaped hook 181, 182 is attached to each of the two longitudinal ends of the support beam 185.
  • the two hooks 181, 182 serve as coupling parts 181, 182 for coupling to the bolts 167.1, 167.2 described above.
  • the two hooks 181, 182 extend downward from the support beam 185 and are dimensioned such that they can each be hooked onto the hood 110 on one of the thick bolts 167.1, 167.2 of the first pair of bolts.
  • the second crane suspension 190 shown in FIG. 11 is designed to hang the hood 110 shown in FIG. 7 alone, ie without a glass frame, and is therefore designed for maximum loads of approximately 2,000 kg.
  • the first crane suspension 190 also referred to below as the light crane suspension 190, is constructed correspondingly lighter than the heavy crane suspension, but is otherwise similar to the latter.
  • the light crane suspension 190 consists of a support beam 195 with an H-profile cross section, the length of which approximately corresponds to the width of the hood 110.
  • a plate-shaped hook 191, 192 is attached to each of the two longitudinal ends of the support beam 195.
  • the two hooks 191, 192 serve as coupling parts 191, 192 for coupling to the bolts 168.1, 168.2 described above.
  • the two hooks 191, 192 extend from the support beam 195 downwards and are dimensioned such that they can each be hooked onto one of the thin bolts 168.1, 168.2 of the second pair of bolts on the hood 110.
  • the second pair of bolts 168.1, 168.2 is arranged on the hood 110 and the light crane suspension 190 is designed such that the hood 110 is in the open state, i.e. with a hood door pivoted outwards parallel to the longitudinal beam 123 on the hood 110, hanging in equilibrium on the light crane suspension 190, since the hood 110 alone is preferably moved away from or over the glass frame by means of a crane by means of a crane.
  • the center of gravity of the hood 110 is shifted on the one hand in the longitudinal direction from the hood center to the connecting beam 125 and on the other hand in the transverse direction from the hood center to the longitudinal beam 123, to which the connecting beam 125 is articulated.
  • the second pair of bolts 168.1, 168.2 is attached to the suspension parts 161 somewhat offset from the center of the hood in the direction of the connecting bar 125.
  • the suspension device 196 is attached to the light crane suspension 190, which is used to hang the light crane suspension on a crane hook (not shown), offset from the longitudinal center of the support beam 195 on the support beam 195 of the light crane suspension 190.
  • the hood 110 when the hood 110 is hung on a crane together with a glass frame by means of the heavy crane suspension 180, the hood 110 is hung in the closed state. In the closed state, the center of gravity of the hood 110 is located approximately above the center of the area of the base area of the hood 110. So that the hood 110 hangs in equilibrium on the heavy crane suspension 180, the first pair of bolts 167.1, 167.2 is in the area of the hood center on the suspension parts 161 attached, and the suspension device 186 on the heavy crane hanger 180, which serves to hang the heavy crane hanger 180 on a crane hook (not shown), is attached to the support beam 185 in the region of the longitudinal center of the support beam 185 of the heavy crane suspension 180.
  • the hooks of the light and heavy crane hangers are designed in such a way and the bolts on the suspension parts are shielded with access pockets in such a way that the hooks of the heavy crane hangers only on the thick bolts and the hooks the light crane hanger can only be attached to the thin bolts. This avoids the risk of hooking a crane sling on the wrong pair of bolts.
  • the invention creates a transport container which is relatively light, enables simple loading and unloading of heavy material plates and is easy to transport as a whole.
