  • This at least one intermediate floor support can be arranged as a longitudinal support or cross support within the floor element between the two outer longitudinal floor supports and/or cross floor supports.
  • the individual parts of the support structure of the PV system are secured within the support structure of the transport pallet using suitable screw connections and/or plate elements. By screwing the individual parts of the PV system within the support structure, transport damage can be minimized.
  • the transport pallet Once the transport pallet has reached its destination, it can be converted from its transport configuration to an assembly configuration in just a few simple steps.
  • At least one first deck longitudinal support can be inserted into at least one receptacle provided for this purpose in the storage surface and/or deck cross support of the deck element, so that it is aligned essentially in the or in a surface parallel to the surface plane of the deck element, essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of the support structure of the transport pallet.
  • the at least one first deck longitudinal support functions as a support element for the support structure of the PV system during its assembly.
  • At least one second deck longitudinal member is preferably insertable into the floor element such that it is aligned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support structure of the transport pallet in the or in a surface parallel to the surface plane of the floor element, so that it runs substantially parallel to the at least one first deck longitudinal member.
  • this at least one second deck longitudinal member functions as additional support for the support structure of the transport pallet relative to the ground. on which the transport pallet according to the invention is placed during the assembly of the support structure of the PV system.
  • the transport pallet according to the invention is particularly preferably brought into an empty configuration.
  • the support structure of the transport pallet has a minimal overall height, for example 20% of the overall height of the transport pallet in the transport configuration, with all components of the cover element and the support beams being accommodated within the floor element.
  • the floor element has two side surfaces that are arranged essentially along the floor longitudinal beams and protrude vertically from the surface plane of the floor element.

Description

Transportpalette transport pallet

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transportpalette, insbesondere für eine Trägerstruktur einer PV-Anlage. The invention relates to a transport pallet, in particular for a support structure of a PV system.

Bei der Umstellung der Energiegewinnung aus fossilen zu erneuerbaren Energiequellen fällt der Gewinnung von Energie mithilfe von Sonnenlicht eine prominente Rolle zu. Es wird insbesondere die Anbringung von Photovoltaikanlagen mit Pho- tovoltaikpaneelen auf Dächern, aber auch auf anderen Gebäudestrukturen wie Carports oder Terrassenüberdachung beispielsweise mit staatlicher Förderung vorangetrieben. In the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, energy generation using sunlight plays a prominent role. The installation of photovoltaic systems with photovoltaic panels on roofs, as well as on other building structures such as carports or patio roofs, is being promoted, for example, with government funding.

Für die Montage derartiger Anlagen werden insbesondere Trägerstrukturen benötigt, in die die jeweiligen Solarmodule aufgenommen sind. Diese Trägerstrukturen bestehen zum Großteil aus einer Vielzahl von rohrartigen Trägerteilen, die sicher zum Aufstellungsort der PV-Anlage transportiert und an Ort und Stelle zusammengesetzt und montiert werden müssen, wobei hier oft nur wenig Platz zur Verfügung steht. The installation of such systems requires, in particular, support structures into which the respective solar modules are mounted. These support structures largely consist of a multitude of tubular support sections that must be safely transported to the PV system's installation site and assembled and installed on site, where space is often limited.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Transportpalette zur Verfügung zu stellen, die einen sicheren Transport und Montage der PV-Anlage, insbesondere ihrer Trägerstruktur ermöglicht. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a transport pallet that enables safe transport and assembly of the PV system, in particular its support structure.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Bereitstellung einer Transportpalette gelöst, wobei diese eine im Wesentlichen quaderförmige Stützstruktur mit einer Längsachse A aufweist. Hierbei ist ein Bodenelement vorgesehen, das zumindest zwei Bodenquerträger sowie zumindest zwei Bodenlängsträger aufweist, sowie ein Deckelement, das über zumindest vier, vorzugsweise über sechs Stützträger beabstandet und im Wesentlichen parallel zum Bodenelement angeordnet ist und über zumindest zwei Deckquerträger und zumindest zwei Decklängsträger sowie über zumindest eine Ablagefläche verfügt, die im Wesentlichen in der Flächenebene des Deckelements angeordnet ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist hierbei vorgesehen, dass die Transportpalette aus einer Transportkonfiguration in eine Montagekonfiguration sowie vorzugsweise in eine Leerkonfiguration bringbar ist. This object is achieved according to the invention by providing a transport pallet which has a substantially cuboid-shaped support structure with a longitudinal axis A. A base element is provided which has at least two base cross members and at least two base longitudinal members, as well as a cover element which is spaced apart by at least four, preferably six support members and arranged substantially parallel to the base element and has at least two cover cross members and at least two cover longitudinal members as well as at least one storage surface which is arranged substantially in the surface plane of the cover element. According to the invention, it is provided that the transport pallet can be brought from a transport configuration into an assembly configuration and preferably into an empty configuration.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette ist, dass sie aufgrund ihrer Stützstruktur, bestehend aus Längsträgern, Querträgern und Stützträgern, eine stabile Aufnahme für die Einzelelemente, insbesondere der Trägerstruktur einer PV-Anlage ausbildet, die einen sicheren Transport der PV-Anlage zu ihrem Bestimmungsort ermöglicht. Bevorzugterweise ist die Stützstruktur der Transportpalette während des Transports an ihren Seitenflächen mit abnehmbaren Paneelen bedeckt, um eine Beschädigung und/oder Verunreinigung des Paletteninhalts während des Transports der PV-Anlage zu vermeiden. Die Stützstruktur selbst ist aus Stahl gefertigt und feuerverzinkt. Damit fällt bei der Montage kein Verpackungsmaterial an, weil die erfindungsgemäße Transportpalette vollständig wiederverwendbar ist. Aufgrund der Stützstruktur der erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette können mehrere Transportpaletten übereinander und nebeneinander geschlichen werden, sodass beispielsweise die Größe der erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette derart gewählt ist, dass 2 x 2 Transportpaletten in einem Transportcontainer untergebracht werden können. A significant advantage of the transport pallet according to the invention is that, due to its support structure, consisting of longitudinal beams, cross beams, and support beams, it forms a stable support for the individual elements, in particular the support structure of a PV system, which enables safe transport of the PV system to its destination. Preferably, the support structure of the transport pallet is equipped with removable panels on its sides during transport. covered to prevent damage and/or contamination of the pallet contents during transport of the PV system. The support structure itself is made of steel and hot-dip galvanized. This means that no packaging material is required during assembly, because the transport pallet according to the invention is completely reusable. Due to the support structure of the transport pallet according to the invention, several transport pallets can be stacked on top of each other and next to each other, so that, for example, the size of the transport pallet according to the invention is selected such that 2 x 2 transport pallets can be accommodated in one transport container.

Um die Trägerstruktur einer PV-Anlage optimal innerhalb der Stützstruktur der erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette unterbringen und fixieren zu können, ist in einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das Bodenelement zusätzlich zumindest einen Bodenzwischenträger aufweist. Dieser zumindest eine Bodenzwischenträger kann als Längsträger oder Querträger innerhalb des Bodenelements zwischen den beiden äußeren Bodenlängsträger und/oder Bodenquerträger angeordnet sein. Mit geeigneten Schraubverbindungen und/oder Plattenelementen werden die einzelnen Teile der Trägerstruktur der PV-Anlage innerhalb der Stützstruktur der Transportpalette fixiert. Durch das Verschrauben der einzelnen Teile der PV-Anlage innerhalb der Stützstruktur können Transportschäden minimiert werden. In order to optimally accommodate and secure the support structure of a PV system within the support structure of the transport pallet according to the invention, a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the floor element additionally has at least one intermediate floor support. This at least one intermediate floor support can be arranged as a longitudinal support or cross support within the floor element between the two outer longitudinal floor supports and/or cross floor supports. The individual parts of the support structure of the PV system are secured within the support structure of the transport pallet using suitable screw connections and/or plate elements. By screwing the individual parts of the PV system within the support structure, transport damage can be minimized.

Sobald die Transportpalette an ihrem Bestimmungsort angelangt ist, kann mit wenigen Handgriffen die Transportpalette aus ihrer Transportkonfiguration in eine Montagekonfiguration gebracht werden. Once the transport pallet has reached its destination, it can be converted from its transport configuration to an assembly configuration in just a few simple steps.

Hierbei ist besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass zur Ausbildung der Montagekonfiguration zumindest ein erster Decklängsträger in zumindest eine hierfür vorgesehene Aufnahme der Ablagefläche und/oder Deckquerträger des Deckelements einsetzbar ist, sodass er im Wesentlichen in der oder in einer Fläche parallel zu der Flächenebene des Deckelements im Wesentlichen normal auf die Längsachse A der Stützstruktur der Transportpalette ausgerichtet ist. Der zumindest eine erste Decklängsträger fungiert hierbei als Stützelement für die Trägerstruktur der PV- Anlage während ihres Zusammenbaus. In this case, it is particularly preferably provided that, to form the assembly configuration, at least one first deck longitudinal support can be inserted into at least one receptacle provided for this purpose in the storage surface and/or deck cross support of the deck element, so that it is aligned essentially in the or in a surface parallel to the surface plane of the deck element, essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of the support structure of the transport pallet. The at least one first deck longitudinal support functions as a support element for the support structure of the PV system during its assembly.

Zumindest ein zweiter Decklängsträger ist bevorzugterweise in das Bodenelement derart einsetzbar, dass er im Wesentlichen in der oder in einer Fläche parallel zur Flächenebene des Bodenelements im Wesentlichen normal auf die Längsachse der Stützstruktur der Transportpalette ausgerichtet ist, sodass er im Wesentlichen parallel zu dem zumindest ersten Decklängsträger verläuft. Damit fungiert dieser zumindest eine zweite Decklängsträger in der Montagekonfiguration als zusätzliche Abstützung der Stützstruktur der Transportpalette gegenüber dem Untergrund, auf dem die erfindungsgemäße Transportpalette während des Zusammenbaus der Trägerstruktur der PV-Anlage abgestellt ist. At least one second deck longitudinal member is preferably insertable into the floor element such that it is aligned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support structure of the transport pallet in the or in a surface parallel to the surface plane of the floor element, so that it runs substantially parallel to the at least one first deck longitudinal member. Thus, in the assembly configuration, this at least one second deck longitudinal member functions as additional support for the support structure of the transport pallet relative to the ground. on which the transport pallet according to the invention is placed during the assembly of the support structure of the PV system.

Nach dem Zusammenbau der PV-Anlage und deren Aufstellen am Bestimmungsort wird die erfindungsgemäße Transportpalette besonders bevorzugt in eine Leerkonfiguration gebracht. In dieser Konfiguration weist die Stützstruktur der Transportpalette eine minimale Bauhöhe, beispielsweise 20% der Bauhöhe der Transportpalette in der Transportkonfiguration auf, wobei sämtliche Bestandteile des Deckelements sowie die Stützträger innerhalb des Bodenelements untergebracht sind. Hierfür weist das Bodenelement zwei Seitenflächen auf, die im Wesentlichen entlang der Bodenlängsträger angeordnet sind und aus der Flächenebene des Bodenelements vertikal hervorragen. Insbesondere an diesen Seitenflächen sind besonders bevorzugt Aufnahmepunkte für einen Stapler und/oder einer Kraneinrichtung vorgesehen, um die erfindungsgemäße Transportpalette sowohl in ihrer Transportkonfiguration wie auch in ihrer Leerkonfiguration auf einfache Weise bewegen zu können. After the PV system has been assembled and set up at its destination, the transport pallet according to the invention is particularly preferably brought into an empty configuration. In this configuration, the support structure of the transport pallet has a minimal overall height, for example 20% of the overall height of the transport pallet in the transport configuration, with all components of the cover element and the support beams being accommodated within the floor element. For this purpose, the floor element has two side surfaces that are arranged essentially along the floor longitudinal beams and protrude vertically from the surface plane of the floor element. In particular, on these side surfaces, mounting points for a forklift truck and/or a crane device are particularly preferably provided in order to be able to easily move the transport pallet according to the invention both in its transport configuration and in its empty configuration.

Im Folgenden wird anhand eines nicht-einschränkenden Ausführungsbeispiels mit zugehörigen Figuren die Erfindung näher erläutert. Darin zeigen In the following, the invention is explained in more detail using a non-limiting embodiment with associated figures.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Transportpalette 1000, in der eine Trägerstruktur 2000 für eine PV-Anlage derart untergebracht ist, dass sie auf sichere Art und Weise transportiert werden kann. Bei der dargestellten Ausführung handelt es sich um eine Trägerstruktur 2000, die als Carport ausgeführt ist, dessen Dachfläche durch PV-Module gebildet ist. Eine entsprechende Trägerstruktur 2000 kann beispielsweise der PCT/AT2024/060075 der Anmelderin entnommen werden.Fig. 1 shows the transport pallet 1000 according to the invention, in which a support structure 2000 for a PV system is accommodated in such a way that it can be transported safely. The illustrated embodiment is a support structure 2000 designed as a carport, the roof surface of which is formed by PV modules. A corresponding support structure 2000 can be found, for example, in the applicant's PCT/AT2024/060075.

Die Transportpalette 1000 ist im Wesentlichen quaderförmig ausgebildet und weist eine Stützstruktur 1100 mit einem Bodenelement 1110 auf, das an seinen kurzen Seiten über zwei Bodenquerträger 1111 und an seinen Längsseiten, die im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Längsachse A der Stützstruktur 1100 ausgerichtet sind, über zwei Bodenlängsträger 1112 mit zwei Seitenflächen 1113 verfügt. Zusätzlich weist das Bodenelement 1110 Bodenzwischenträger 1114 auf, die zwischen den Bodenlängsträgern 1112 bzw. den Bodenquerträgern 1111 je nach Bedarf angeordnet werden. The transport pallet 1000 is essentially cuboid-shaped and has a support structure 1100 with a floor element 1110, which has two floor cross members 1111 on its short sides and two floor longitudinal members 1112 with two side surfaces 1113 on its long sides, which are aligned essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis A of the support structure 1100. In addition the floor element 1110 has intermediate floor supports 1114, which are arranged between the longitudinal floor supports 1112 or the cross floor supports 1111 as required.

Das Bodenelement 1110 ist bei bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch der erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette 1000 während des Aufbaus der Trägerstruktur 2000 auf einem im Wesentlichen ebenen Untergrund angeordnet. Die beiden Seitenflächen 1114 verfügen über Aufnahmepunkte 1115 für einen handelsüblichen Gabelstapler sowie Aufnahmen 1133 für eine Kraneinrichtung auf, die der Bewegung der Transportpalette 1000 dienen. When the transport pallet 1000 according to the invention is used as intended, the floor element 1110 is arranged on a substantially flat surface during the assembly of the support structure 2000. The two side surfaces 1114 have mounting points 1115 for a standard forklift truck as well as receptacles 1133 for a crane device, which serve to move the transport pallet 1000.

Parallel und über sechs in Gebrauchslage vertikal orientierte Stützträger 1120 ist ein Deckelement 1130 mit zwei Deckquerträger 1131 und zwei parallel zueinander angeordneten Decklängsträgern 1132 beabstandet zum Bodenelement 1110 vorgesehen. An den Deckquerträgern 1131 sind ebenfalls Aufnahmen 1133 für eine Kraneinrichtung vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe die erfindungsgemäße Transportpalette 1000 bei Bedarf angehoben werden kann. Des Weiteren verfügt das Deckelement 1130 über eine Ablagefläche 1134. A cover element 1130 with two cover cross members 1131 and two parallel cover longitudinal members 1132 is provided parallel to and spaced from the base element 1110 via six support beams 1120 that are vertically oriented in the use position. Receptacles 1133 for a crane device are also provided on the cover cross members 1131, with the aid of which the transport pallet 1000 according to the invention can be lifted if necessary. Furthermore, the cover element 1130 has a storage surface 1134.

Nachfolgend wird die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette 1000 als Montagestand für den Aufbau der Trägerstruktur 2000 erläutert. The use of the transport pallet 1000 according to the invention as an assembly stand for the construction of the support structure 2000 is explained below.

Nachdem die erfindungsgemäße Transportpalette 1000 an ihren Bestimmungsort verbracht wurde, werden gemäß Fig. 2 die Decklängsträger 1132 des Deckelements 1130 aus der Stützstruktur 1100 entnommen und in hierfür vorgesehene Durchführungen 1135 im Bereich der Ablagefläche 1134 sowie der Seitenflächen 1113 des Bodenelements 1110 eingesetzt. Damit sind die Decklängsträger 1132 in der Montageposition parallel zueinander und im Wesentlichen quer zu der Längsachse A der Stützstruktur 1100 der Transportpalette 1000 angeordnet. After the transport pallet 1000 according to the invention has been transported to its destination, the cover longitudinal beams 1132 of the cover element 1130 are removed from the support structure 1100 as shown in Fig. 2 and inserted into passages 1135 provided for this purpose in the region of the storage surface 1134 and the side surfaces 1113 of the base element 1110. Thus, in the assembly position, the cover longitudinal beams 1132 are arranged parallel to one another and substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis A of the support structure 1100 of the transport pallet 1000.

In einem nächsten Schritt wird eine Trägersäule 2100 der Trägerstruktur 2000 der PV-Anlage aus ihrer horizontalen Transportposition, in der die Längsachse der Trägersäule 2100 im Wesentlichen parallel zur Längsachse A der Stützstruktur 1100 der Transportpalette 1000 angeordnet ist, innerhalb der Stützstruktur 1100 der Transportpalette 1000 durch Verschwenken um 90° in eine vertikale Entnahmeposition im Wesentlichen normal zur Auflageebene des Bodenelements 1110 gebracht (Fig. 3). Hierzu ist an einem Ende der Trägersäule 2100 eine Hebeplatte 1116 mit einer Öse 1117 beispielsweise für eine Kraneinrichtung angeordnet, wobei die Hebeplatte 1116 die Trägersäule 2100 während des Transports innerhalb der Stützstruktur 1100 der Transportpalette 1000 fixiert. In a next step, a support column 2100 of the support structure 2000 of the PV system is pivoted from its horizontal transport position, in which the longitudinal axis of the support column 2100 is arranged substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis A of the support structure 1100 of the transport pallet 1000, into a vertical removal position substantially normal to the support plane of the floor element 1110 within the support structure 1100 of the transport pallet 1000 by pivoting it through 90° (Fig. 3). For this purpose, a lifting plate 1116 with an eyelet 1117, for example for a crane device, is arranged at one end of the support column 2100, wherein the lifting plate 1116 fixes the support column 2100 within the support structure 1100 of the transport pallet 1000 during transport.

Zum Verschwenken der Trägersäule 2100 wird die Fixierung der Hebeplatte an einem Bodenzwischenträger 1114 gelöst und die Trägersäule 2100 in die vertikale Position gebracht. Anschließend kann die Trägersäule 2100 an ihren endgültigen Aufstellplatz gebracht und beispielsweise mit dem Untergrund verschraubt werden. To swivel the support column 2100, the fixing of the lifting plate to an intermediate floor support 1114 is released and the support column 2100 is moved into the vertical The support column 2100 can then be moved to its final location and, for example, screwed to the ground.

Danach erfolgt der Zusammenbau der Trägerstruktur 2000 gemäß den Figuren 4 bis 10 aus ihren ebenfalls in der Transportpalette 1000 angeordneten Einzelteilen, wobei hierfür die Ablagefläche 1134 des Deckelements 1130 zum Einsatz kommt. So wird zunächst ein Hauptquerträger-Mittelstück 2201 eines Hauptquerträgers 2200 der Trägerstruktur 2000 auf der Ablagefläche 1134 der Stützstruktur 1100 der Transportpalette 1000 derart positioniert, dass die beiden Endbereiche 2202 des Hauptquerträger-Mittelstücks 2201 frei zugänglich sind. An diesen Endbereichen 2202 wird nun jeweils ein Hauptlängsträger 2300 angeordnet (Fig. 5), wobei anschließend an den Endbereichen 2202 des Hauptquerträger-Mittelstücks 2201 jeweils ein Hauptquerträger-Endstück 2203 über Flanschverbindungen angeschraubt wird (Fig. 6). The support structure 2000 is then assembled according to Figures 4 to 10 from its individual parts, which are also arranged in the transport pallet 1000, using the storage surface 1134 of the cover element 1130 for this purpose. First, a main cross member center piece 2201 of a main cross member 2200 of the support structure 2000 is positioned on the storage surface 1134 of the support structure 1100 of the transport pallet 1000 in such a way that the two end regions 2202 of the main cross member center piece 2201 are freely accessible. A main longitudinal member 2300 is then arranged at each of these end regions 2202 (Fig. 5), with a main cross member end piece 2203 then being screwed to each of the end regions 2202 of the main cross member center piece 2201 via flange connections (Fig. 6).

Wie den Figuren 7 bis 10 entnommen werden kann, werden anschließend weitere Hauptlängsträger 2300 an den jeweiligen Endbereichen der Hauptquerträger-Endstücke 2203 angeordnet (Fig. 7). Danach erfolgt die Anordnung und Verschraubung von weiteren Querträgern 2204 (Fig. 8), sowie Längsträgern 2301 (Fig. 9) und schließlich die Anordnung von PV-Paneelen 2400 auf der Trägerstruktur 2000 (Fig. 10), wobei der Mittelbereich der Trägerstruktur 2000 noch nicht zur Gänze mit PV-Paneelen 2400 bedeckt ist, um das Anordnen und Verschrauben der Trägerstruktur 2000 auf der bereits aufgestellten Trägersäule 2100 zu ermöglichen. Zur einfachen Positionierung der Trägerstruktur 2000 auf der Trägersäule 2100 weisen die Hauptlängsträger 2300 ebenfalls Aufnahmen 1133 für eine Kraneinrichtung auf. As can be seen from Figures 7 to 10, additional main longitudinal beams 2300 are then arranged at the respective end regions of the main crossbeam end pieces 2203 (Fig. 7). This is followed by the arrangement and screwing of additional crossbeams 2204 (Fig. 8), as well as longitudinal beams 2301 (Fig. 9), and finally the arrangement of PV panels 2400 on the support structure 2000 (Fig. 10). The central region of the support structure 2000 is not yet completely covered with PV panels 2400 to enable the arrangement and screwing of the support structure 2000 onto the already erected support column 2100. For easy positioning of the support structure 2000 on the support column 2100, the main longitudinal beams 2300 also have receptacles 1133 for a crane device.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette 1000 ist, dass sie in ihrer Funktion als Montagestand einen sicheren und platzsparenden Zusammenbau der Trägerstruktur 2000 ermöglicht. A significant advantage of the transport pallet 1000 according to the invention is that, in its function as an assembly stand, it enables a safe and space-saving assembly of the support structure 2000.

Sobald die Trägerstruktur 2000 von der erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette 1000 entfernt wurde, kann die Transportpalette 1000 für den Rücktransport und/oder die Lagerung platzsparend zusammengelegt werden. Hierbei erlauben die in dem Bodenelement 1110 vorgesehenen Aufnahmepunkte 1115 für einen Stapler bzw. Aufnahmen 1133 für eine Kraneinrichtung ein einfaches und sicheres Bewegen der erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette 1000. Once the support structure 2000 has been removed from the transport pallet 1000 according to the invention, the transport pallet 1000 can be folded up to save space for return transport and/or storage. The mounting points 1115 for a forklift or the mountings 1133 for a crane device provided in the base element 1110 allow for easy and safe movement of the transport pallet 1000 according to the invention.
