Abstract

The carrier (1) has a base frame (2) and a base or a slide construction (3) with poles (4) that are formed perpendicular to the frame, where the frame has a radio device (A). Load carrier sides (E1-E4) produce a radio connection between a radio device (B), which is separated from the carrier and having a writing-reading device with antennas (B1, B2), and the radio device (A), which consists of a radio microchip with antenna. The radio device (A) is protectively fastened on a lower surface of the frame, or is arranged within the base or the slide of the base or slide construction.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Ladungsträger, insbesondere Behälter oder Gestell zum Transport und zur Lagerung von Gütern, mit einem Grundrahmen und mit einer Fuß- oder Kufenkonstruktion mit mehreren, in etwa senkrecht zum Rahmen ausgebildeten Pfosten, wobei der Grundrahmen mindestens eine Funkeinrichtung aufweist.The invention relates to a load carrier, in particular container or rack for the transport and storage of goods, with a base frame and with a foot or skid design with a plurality of approximately perpendicular to the frame formed post, wherein the base frame has at least one radio device.

Als Stand der Technik ist es bereits bekannt, dass zur eindeutigen Identifizierung eines Objekts bei Ladungsträgern, insbesondere bei Behältern oder Gestellen zum Transport und/oder zur Lagerung von Gütern, in der Logistik mehrere Technologien im Einsatz sind: Neben den klassischen Kennzeichnungen mittels Papierbelege oder Farbmarkierung sind komplexere Lösungen in Form von speziell kodierten Barcodeetiketten oder 2-Dimensionalem Data-Martrixetiketten bekannt. In vielen Prozessen besteht bei den bekannten Technologien die Notwendigkeit, nach Beendigung eines logistischen Vorganges, beispielsweise eines vollständigen Umlaufs, eine neue Kennzeichnung anzubringen. Auch sind weitere Daten nur in Form von zusätzlich anzubringenden Etiketten oder Begleitscheinen ergänzbar.As prior art, it is already known that for the unambiguous identification of an object in the case of load carriers, in particular in containers or racks for the transport and / or storage of goods, several technologies are used in logistics: In addition to the classic markings by means of paper documents or color marking More complex solutions are known in the form of specially coded barcode labels or 2-dimensional data martrix labels. In many processes, there is a need in the prior art technologies to apply a new tag upon completion of a logistical process, such as a full round trip. Also, further data can only be supplemented in the form of additionally attachable labels or consignment notes.

Neben optischen Verfahren gewinnt die Funktechnologie zunehmend an Bedeutung. Wichtige Vorteile dieser Technologie sind die Wiederbeschreibbarkeit des Datenspeichers, die Identifikationsmöglichkeit auch bei eingeschränktem Sichtkontakt sowie die Robustheit bei entsprechender Einhausung.In addition to optical processes, wireless technology is becoming increasingly important. Important advantages of this technology are the rewritability of the data memory, the possibility of identification even with limited visual contact as well as the robustness with appropriate housing.

Zur Kennzeichnung insbesondere von Transportobjekten, wie Behältern, Paletten oder Gestellen sind bereits einige nachfolgend beschriebene Speziallösungen bekannt, welche besonders anwendungsspezifische Merkmalsausprägungen besitzen:For the identification, in particular, of transport objects, such as containers, pallets or racks, a number of special solutions described below are already known, which have particularly application-specific features:

Die DE 600 02 104 T2 beschreibt ein Behälterfolgesystem sowie einen wiederverwendbaren Behälter mit einem Transponder. Hier wird die Integration der Funkeinrichtung bereits im Herstellprozess eines Behälters, insbesondere aus Kunststoff, beschrieben, wodurch die Nachteile von Nieten, Klammern, Kleben oder Schrauben vermieden werden. Eine Nachrüstung von bestehenden Objekten ist jedoch nicht möglich.The DE 600 02 104 T2 describes a container tracking system as well as a reusable container with a transponder. Here, the integration of the radio device is already described in the manufacturing process of a container, in particular made of plastic, whereby the disadvantages of rivets, staples, gluing or screws are avoided. A retrofitting of existing objects is not possible.

Die DE 43 35 180 A1 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines elektrischen Bauteils an einem Gegenstand. Hier ist ein spezielles Gehäuse vorgesehen, welches die elektronische Funkeinrichtung aufnimmt, wobei dieses Gehäuses wiederum in einer Aufnahmevorrichtung des Gegenstandes untergebracht ist. Die spezielle Art der Aufnahme ist für eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen im Logistikbereich auf Grund ihrer Komplexität nur bedingt geeignet.The DE 43 35 180 A1 describes a device for fixing an electrical component to an object. Here, a special housing is provided, which receives the electronic radio device, said housing is in turn housed in a receiving device of the article. Due to its complexity, the special type of recording is only of limited suitability for a large number of applications in the logistics sector.

Weiterer Stand der Technik ist eine Anordnung mit Transponder und einem metallischen Element ( DE 10 2006 026 014 A1 ). Diese Konstruktion offenbart eine Anordnung mit Mikrochip und metallischem Element, wobei durch eine Vertiefung des dem Mikrochip zugeordneten metallischen Bauteils eine Antenne ausgebildet wird. Ein aus einem metallischen oder metallisierten Material bestehendes Objekt, insbesondere ein Behälter oder ein Gestell, kann durch eine spezielle Vertiefung eines Teils seiner Oberfläche und durch Kupplung mit einem Mikrochip selbst identifiziert werden, ohne dass eine speziell für Metall entwickelte Funkeinrichtung angebracht werden muss. Nachteilig ist bei dieser bekannten Konstruktion die relativ geringe realisierbare Reichweite und der beschränkte Erfassungsradius, welcher sich mit der in der bekannten Konstruktion beschriebenen Anordnung erzielen lässt.Further prior art is an arrangement with transponder and a metallic element ( DE 10 2006 026 014 A1 ). This construction discloses a microchip and metallic element assembly wherein an antenna is formed through a recess of the metallic component associated with the microchip. An object consisting of a metallic or metallised material, in particular a container or a frame, can be identified by a special depression of a part of its surface and by coupling with a microchip itself, without the need to install a metal-designed radio device. A disadvantage of this known construction, the relatively low realizable range and the limited detection radius, which can be achieved with the arrangement described in the known construction.

Die DE 20 2004 021 025 U1 beschreibt ein Objekt mit einem ein Kennzeichen tragendes Etikett. Hier handelt es sich um ein bewegliches Kennzeichnungslabel, welches im Bereich der Identifikation von Ladeeinheit, wie Paketen und umschrumpfte Ware eingesetzt wird.

Fig. 7 zeigt in schematischer Weise ein Schnittbild einer zweiten Funkeinrichtung mit beweglicher Aufhängung auf der Unterseite eines erfindungsgemäßen Ladungsträgers. Die zweite Funkeinrichtung A ist klappbar ausgebildet und kann entweder nach links oder rechts in der dargestellten schematischen Weise schwenken. Hieraus ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass Stöße durch Gabelzinkenkontakt gepuffert werden durch die rückfedernde Gestaltung der Aufnahme dieser zweiten Funkeinrichtung. Fig. 7 schematically shows a sectional view of a second radio device with movable suspension on the underside of a charge carrier according to the invention. The second radio device A is formed foldable and can pivot either to the left or right in the illustrated schematic manner. This results in the advantage that shocks are buffered by forks contact by the spring-back design of the recording of this second radio device.

Es ist auch möglich, eine Versenkung sowohl der Aufhängung der zweiten Funkeinrichtung als auch der Funkeinrichtung selbst innerhalb des Grundrahmens 2 durchzuführen, wodurch ein (nicht näher dargestellter) Gabelzinken auch bei unsachgemäßem Unterfahren des Ladungsträgers und intensiven Scherbewegungen entlang der Anbringungsposition der Funkeinrichtung A keinerlei Schadenpotential mehr bietet. Dieses vorbeschriebene Versenken kann passiv durch die Gabeleinwirkung oder aktiv und automatisch beim Abstellen des Ladungsträgers durch eine entsprechend gestaltete, an sich bekannte Vorrichtung erfolgen. Durch die schematisch in Fig. 7 dargestellte Ausführungsmöglichkeit wird auf einfache Weise ein Abklappen der zweiten Funkeinrichtung A bei einem eventuellen Gabelzinkenkontakt gewährleistet und damit unerwünschte Beschädigungen vermieden.It is also possible to perform a sinking of both the suspension of the second radio device and the radio itself within the base frame 2, whereby a (not shown) forks even with improper driving under the load carrier and intense shear movements along the mounting position of the radio A no longer damage potential offers. This above-mentioned sinking can passively by the fork action or active and automatically when parking the load carrier by a correspondingly designed, known per se device. Through the schematic in Fig. 7 embodiment shown is easily ensured folding down the second radio device A in case of a fork contact and thus avoided unwanted damage.

Weiterhin ist vorstellbar, dass die Funkeinrichtung derart am Grundrahmen des Ladungsträgers angebracht ist, dass zusätzlich eine vertikale Beweglichkeit sichergestellt und mittels Federelement eine Ausgangslage immer wieder herbeiführbar ist. Eine solche Anbringung ist (nicht näher dargestellt) z.B. mittels Gummiaufhängung möglich.Furthermore, it is conceivable that the radio device is mounted on the base frame of the charge carrier in such a way that in addition a vertical mobility is ensured and an initial position can always be brought about again by means of a spring element. Such attachment is (not shown) e.g. possible with rubber suspension.

Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Ladungsträger mit Funkeinrichtung geschaffen, welcher es ermöglicht, dass von mehr als einer Ladungsträgerseite E1 bis E4 sowie mit verschiedenen Funkeinrichtungen ein Identifizieren des Objektes auch aus einer größeren Distanz möglich ist, ohne dass eine direkte Sichtverbindung vorhanden sein muss. Die gesamte Anordnung ist vielseitig anwendbar und auch für robusten Betrieb geeignet. Erfindungsgemäß kann statt der stationären Funkeinrichtung B auch ein mobil tragbares Handlesegerät Anwendung finden, wodurch sich eine weitere Vergrößerung der Flexibilität ergibt.According to the invention, a charge carrier with radio device is created, which makes it possible for more than one charge carrier side E1 to E4 and also different radio devices to be used to identify the object even from a greater distance, without the need for a direct line of sight. The whole arrangement is versatile and also suitable for robust operation. According to the invention, instead of the stationary radio B, a mobile portable handheld reader can be used, resulting in a further increase in flexibility.
