Description

pallet

The invention relates to a transport pallet with the features of claim 1.

It belongs to the state of the art to transport individual fence elements together on a transport pallet. The transport pallets used for this purpose are often specially adapted to the type of fence element. It is for example part of the prior art to arrange end-side plug-in supports on the transport pallets, which are formed for example of a plurality of juxtaposed pipe socket or cylindrical pins into which the pipe ends of the uprights of the fence elements are either plugged or on which the pipe ends can be plugged , Such transport pallets are transported by suitable means of transport, in particular forklifts. For this purpose, forks of the fork stack are inserted into side members or the side members interconnecting cross member, so that the transport pallet both longitudinally and also

CONFIRMATION COPY can be taken transversely. When loaded, the height of the transport pallet is determined by the load. Preferably, the loading voienen should be small. But it is also desirable to make the unloaded transport pallet as possible so that they can be stacked to save space with other transport pallets. However, this is difficult if the longitudinal members interconnecting cross member above or below the side members are arranged. The height of the unloaded transport pallet thus doubles in a sense. In addition, there is a misalignment between the side members and the cross members, so that there is no smooth floor to load the transport pallets from above. If the cross members are located under the side rails, support legs are required at the end of the transport pallet, especially if the transport pallets are more than 2.60 m long. The support feet at the ends of the transport pallet are also necessary when loaded transport pallets are to be stacked, as a support in the area of the support feet takes place. The pressure on the support feet may be so high that the transport pallets bend, so that it may damage the substrate.

Theoretically, it is conceivable to provide lateral openings in the side members so that the loading fork can be inserted there. Since the longitudinal members are thin-walled hollow profiles, however, there is the risk that the longitudinal members buckle under the load. The buckling can not be prevented by the fact that provide cross member between the side rails for a stiffener. Therefore, it is very difficult overall to reduce the height of the transport pallets, if not the weight of the transport pallets should be increased by the use of thick-walled materials at the same time.

The invention has for its object to provide a transport device, which has a very low height in the unloaded state, is moved along and transverse and is preferably not or not substantially higher than the height of the side members. This problem is solved in a transport pallet with the features of the protection claim 1.

The transport pallet according to the invention has a horizontal, rectangularly configured support frame. The support frame is formed by two mutually parallel longitudinal members and two longitudinal members interconnecting cross members. The longitudinal members are connected via node elements with the cross members. The node elements have a longitudinal channel extending in the direction of the longitudinal members and a transverse channel extending in the direction of the cross members. The Längskanaf and the cross channel penetrate each other and serve to accommodate pluggable forks.

Due to the longitudinal and transverse channel in the node elements, it is possible to arrange the side members and cross members at a height and not overlying each other as in the prior art. As a result, the overall height of the transport pallet according to the invention can be halved compared to those in which the cross members are arranged above or below the longitudinal members. Central to this is the node element, which is specially designed for the increased requirements in the transition region to the cross girders. The node element is a separate component, which is connected to adjacent longitudinal profiles of the longitudinal members or transverse profiles of the cross member and forms together with these the support frame of the transport pallet. The node element may be made of a different material than the adjoining longitudinal profiles or transverse profiles. In particular, it is possible that the node elements have a different wall thickness and, above all, an uneven wall thickness distribution, which does not necessarily have to be the case with the adjoining longitudinal profiles and cross profiles and is preferably not for reasons of cost.

In the transport pallet according to the invention two node elements of a longitudinal member at the ends of the cross member are arranged spaced. The side members generally have a greater length than the cross member. The Transport pallet thereby has its rectangular configuration. The cross member are therefore in the same mutual distance from the central transverse axis of the transport pallet.

In addition, longitudinally-channeled end pieces can be arranged at the ends of the longitudinal members, which are provided for plug-in receptacle of a loading fork in the side members. In particular, in the area of the ends of the longitudinal members high loads occur, so that it is necessary to ensure here a sufficient strength / rigidity of the support frame. With a constant wall thickness of the entire longitudinal beam reinforcement would be necessary here as the overall length, such as a separately welded sheet metal. Since in this area additional supports can be inserted in order to stack loaded transport pallets on top of each other, the load on the corner areas is even greater. The welded construction in the corner area becomes even more complicated. Therefore, it is considered advantageous to connect separately manufactured, longitudinally channeled end pieces with the longitudinal profiles of the side members. As a result, the transport pallet can be designed to be correspondingly stable in those areas in which high loads occur, while in other areas in which lower loads are to be expected, simpler and more easily configured transverse profiles or longitudinal profiles can be used. Overall, the support frame of Transportpaiette is easier than in a comparable support frame, which is made with respect to the side members and cross member of hollow profiles of thicker materials.

It is also important for the flatest possible flatness that the end pieces or node elements themselves do not protrude or at least not substantially over the longitudinal profiles interconnecting longitudinal members or transverse profiles of the cross member. Particularly preferably, the node elements together with the longitudinal profiles and cross sections form a flat, flat support frame with a smooth upper side and a smooth underside, without the support frame has individual, over the top or bottom clearly projecting areas. As flat or substantially even surfaces are too which are substantially in-plane, and this condition is met even if junctions, such as welds, result in small local elevations. Of course, in longitudinal members, which are composed of generally flat components, the usual manufacturing and joining tolerances must be considered. Functionally, the stringing together of several planar components results in a longitudinal member, which is also flat overall.

The stackability is not impaired if certain components protrude laterally beyond the top of the longitudinal member perpendicular to the support frame side of the support frame formed from longitudinal beams and cross members. For components that project vertically upwards, they must not stand up so much as the support frame is high. In addition, it is necessary to provide a sufficient clearance below the components standing upright, so that the components do not collide when the transport pallets are stacked. If, on the other hand, the components protrude at an angle, overlapping is possible during stacking so that there is no height restriction. It is within the scope of the invention thus possible to provide a support frame with various attachments, wherein the support frame are stacked flat one above the other, while the outside of the projection plane of the support frame attachments can certainly project beyond the support frame up without affecting de stackability. The attachments even have the advantageous effect that the support frame can not slip.

The node elements and / or the end pieces can be manufactured as cast components and consist in particular of cast steel. By manufacturing in a prototype process more complex geometries can be realized more cost-effectively than by pure welded constructions. However, the invention does not exclude that the node elements and / or the end pieces are formed from a plurality of welded together steel profiles or consist partly of steel profiles and cast steel components, which have been welded together to form a node element. In this way, one can adapt to the respective load case, request rights design of Implement node elements and end pieces in a modular system. In this case, care is taken that the node elements are preferably identical parts which can be used both with a left and a right side member. In this way, only a single node element is to be provided for all four possible positions within a support frame. The variety of parts is minimized. The cost-reducing effects of series production are advantageously exploited. The same applies to the end pieces.

In principle, the node elements have a greater average wall thickness than the longitudinal profiles or transverse profiles. The average wall thickness indicates that there may well be areas in which the wall thickness is less than that of the longitudinal profiles or cross sections. Due to the higher loads in the node area, that is in the crossing area between longitudinal members and cross members, there are also areas with significantly greater wall thicknesses than those of the adjacent longitudinal profiles and / or cross sections. The wall thickness can be greater by a factor of 1.2 to 5 than in the area of the adjacent longitudinal profiles or transverse profiles.

The node elements have a crossing area and adjoining transition pieces, resulting in a cross shape. Preferably, the average wall thickness in the crossing region is greater than in the transition pieces. The wall thickness preferably decreases towards the free ends of the transition pieces, in particular continuously. As a result, the wall thickness differences to the adjacent components of the longitudinal member or cross member are low, which simplifies the welding, or only possible. In particular, the transition areas are to be reinforced from a longitudinal profile to a transverse profile. That is, the corners of the node elements have a greater wall thickness than the top and bottom of the node elements. The top of the node elements is primarily stressed on train, whereas the bottom is subjected to pressure. Therefore, it is also conceivable to make the bottom particularly pressure-resistant, wherein Flameproof in this context means that there is an ateriaian accumulation or stiffening at the bottom.

In far-reaching side rails, it is not possible to space the cross member as far as desired, since limits are provided by the usual distances of the forks. The distance between the forks can be adjusted in a certain range, but not infinitely expandable. Since loads are introduced via the ends in the transport pallet, a maximum load of the transport pallet results in the middle area, in the area of the cross member. In order to relieve the tensioned upper sides of the longitudinal members, provision is made according to the invention for a bracing extending in the direction of the longitudinal members to be arranged on the longitudinal members. The bracing extends at a certain distance from the side members, wherein the distance in a central region of the side members is greater than at the ends of the side members.

The bracing is, for example, a tie rod, which is attached obliquely and is welded to an outer end of a longitudinal member. Approximately in the middle of the longitudinal member longitudinal side, a support plate may be located, which projects upwards over the top of the longitudinal member. With the upper end of this support plate, the bracing, which for reasons of balance of power preferably extend in both directions of the longitudinal member may be connected. The guy wires are only loaded on train. Therefore, the bracing may also be flexible but tensile materials, such as a steel cord or a chain. The easiest and least expensive is to provide here a pull rod or a metal strip. It is also conceivable, in each case in the region of the cross member to arrange a single, above the cross member projecting sheet so that a trapezoidal configuration with a horizontally extending middle part of the bracing and at an angle to the horizontal extending end portions of the bracing results. The middle part transmits the transmitted from the end portions of the bracing Forces on the other end portion of the bracing, so that there is a balance of power.

The bracing is preferably located laterally next to the side of the side members facing away from the cross members. This makes it possible to stack unloaded transport pallets lying parallel one above the other, wherein the lateral bracing do not interfere, but on the contrary, have the positive effect that lateral slipping an upper transport pallet is prevented by a lower transport pallet.

The transport pallets themselves do not only consist of the longitudinal members and cross members with the node elements or end pieces arranged thereon. In addition, further reinforcements between the longitudinal members may be provided, in particular transverse struts, which may also have a different cross-section from the longitudinal members and also extend between the longitudinal members. The transverse struts can be arranged in particular in the same height range, in which the upper side of the support frame is located. The usable surface of the transport pallet is thereby meaningfully increased, while at the same time a stiffening takes place.

The longitudinal profiles themselves, but also the cross sections may consist of closed hollow sections, in particular rectangular profiles. But they can also be configured C-shaped, they are open at the bottom. Individual, spaced apart webs can connect the free legs of the C-profile together, so that a bending of the C-profile is prevented under load.

At the end pieces of the side members can additionally be arranged sleeve sleeves for fence elements, which are provided for receiving stanchions of fences or shut-off elements. Since the plug-in sleeves are arranged laterally of the longitudinal members, they do not interfere with stacking. They can also project upwards or be arranged at a distance to the bottom of the support frame, so that the stanchions of the fences or shut-off elements do not slip too deeply and when lifting the Protect transport pallet downwards. The upwardly open insertion sleeves may be formed integrally with the end pieces. The insertion sleeves can be provided with a protruding upward on the insertion sleeves spacer strap. The distance tab also causes the stanchions of the inserted fence or shut-off elements do not slip too deeply and protrude when lifting the transport pallet down over the bottom of the transport pallet. The spacer tabs can be inclined to the vertical, ie, obliquely. This causes a centering when stacking the transport pallets.

The transport pallet according to the invention is in particular part of a transport arrangement which serves for the transport of shut-off or fence elements.

A transport patette according to the invention weighs about 153 kg at a length of 3.6 m. By comparison, a transport pallet with superimposed longitudinal members and cross members weighs around 175 kg at a length of 3.6 m. This is a significant difference in weight, which also shows that with less material use transport pallets can be produced with the same load capacity.

The low height is also an advantage when multiple transport pallets must be transported empty in a stacked arrangement. The transport volume for the empty transport is reduced, so that the transport costs fall. The stack height is determined only by the height of the support frame and not by parts outside the support frame. At a height of the support frame of e.g. 80 mm, another transport pallet stacked on the lower transport pallet would therefore be located only 80 mm higher.

In addition, the use of welding robots makes it possible to inexpensively weld the cast steel parts to the adjacent longitudinal profiles and cross profiles. Common parts with regard to the node elements and end pieces are well suited to reduce the production costs. The in particular, if the actual node element with its crossing region and the transition pieces in addition to other components, ie in particular with the forklift pockets and Einsteckhülsen, integrally formed.

Another very positive effect is that compared to transport pallets, in which the cross member are arranged below the side members and which inevitably feet in the end are necessary to allow safe settling, the latter omitted and can not be damaged by improper handling of the transport pallet or damage. Overall, the transport pallet is thus much more robust, which is also due to the fact that the cross member have a much stronger stiffening function due to the stable node elements.

Additional cross struts with cross-sections deviating from the cross members provide additional reinforcement. Between the longitudinal beams can be welded as cross struts, for example, angle iron or T-iron.

It can also be provided a floor, which consists of metal, wood or plastic and is used to hold cargo, By a welded sheet, for example, a material box can be formed. In the soil drainage holes are preferably provided so that it does not come to a Nässestau.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. It shows:

Figure 2 shows the transport pallet of Figure 1 in side view;

Figure 5 shows the transport pallet of Figure 4 in a side view of a

Tensile reinforcement.

Figure 1 shows a plan view of a transport pallet 1, which has a horizontal, rectangularly configured support frame 2, which is formed by two mutually parallel longitudinal beams 3, 4 and two longitudinal members 3, 4 interconnecting cross members 5, 6. The longitudinal members 3, 4 are connected via node elements 7, which are all identical, with the respective adjacent cross member 5, 6 connected at the same height. The node elements 7 have a longitudinal channel 30 (FIG. 3) extending in the direction of the longitudinal members 3, 4 and a transverse channel 28 (FIG. 2) extending in the direction of the cross members 5, 6, wherein the longitudinal channel 30 and the transverse channel 28 penetrate and to the Insertion of unillustrated forks are provided.

Basically, the longitudinal channels 30 and transverse channels 28 are continuations of the longitudinal beams 3, 4 designed as hoof profiles, wherein, however, the wall thickness in the region of the node elements 7 deviates from the wall thickness of the adjacent regions of the side members 3, 4 or cross members 5, 6. The node elements 7 are designed as cast steel components and welded to the adjacent areas of the side members 3, 4 and cross member 5, 6. The said areas of the longitudinal members 3, 4 and cross members 5, 6 are formed by longitudinal profiles 8-13 and transverse profiles 14, 15 of the cross members 5, 6. A cross member 5, 6 according to the invention extends because of the node elements 7 thus through the side members 3, 4 therethrough. The cross member 5, 6 and the side members 3, 4 thus have a common, reinforced running crossing region through the node elements. 7

The node elements 7 have a crossing region 35 and adjoining transition pieces 34, resulting in a cross shape. Preferably, the average wall thickness in the crossing region 35 is greater than in the transition pieces 34. The wall thickness preferably decreases toward the free ends of the transition pieces 34, in particular continuously. As a result, the wall thickness differences to the adjacent components of the longitudinal member 3, 4 or cross member 5, 6 are low, which simplifies the welding or only possible.

Additional reinforcements are arranged at the ends of the side members 3, 4. Here are longitudinally channeled end pieces 16, 17, which are also provided for plug-in receptacle of a loading fork not shown in the side members 3, 4. The end pieces 16, 17 are made shorter in their longitudinal extent than the node elements 7. However, they have as well as the node elements 7 has a greater wall thickness than the extending between the end pieces 16, 17 longitudinal profiles 8 -. 13

The longitudinal members 3, 4 are connected to each other via additional struts 18. In this Ausführungsbeispie! the transverse struts 18 are arranged directly at the front ends between the longitudinal members 3, 4. In the central region between the cross members 5, 6 is also a material box 19 from a provided with a water drain sheet, which is intended to carry small parts.

Another important element is a so-called forklift pocket 20, which can be seen in each case on the outside of the longitudinal members 3, 4 in the region of the node elements 7. The forklift pocket 20 serves to better transmit the forces introduced into the node elements 7. At the same time, the forklift pockets 20 serve to limit the insertion depth of the loading forks so that plug-in sleeves 32 arranged in the corner region of the end pieces 16, 17 are protected. The plug-in sleeves 32 are used to hold end-side stanchions not shown fence elements or shut-off elements, which are to be carried in a standing arrangement on the Tra sport palette. The Einsteckhütsen 32 are arranged offset from the top of the support frame 2, so that the stanchions while below can protrude from the sleeves 32, but not project down over the bottom of the transport frame. The fact that the plug-in sleeves 32 are offset upward results in a free space below the plug-in sleeves 32, so that the stackability is not impaired. In addition, it can be seen that, in the area of the forklift pockets 20, specifically adjacent to the forklift pockets 20, additional stacking sleeves 21 facing the ends of the longitudinal beams 3, 4 are arranged, into which supports 22 can be inserted, as shown in FIG , These supports 22 serve to support a further transport pallet (not shown), which is located above the illustrated, first transport pallet 1. In addition, angle braces 23 can be arranged in the corner region between the stacking sleeves 21 and the outer sides of the longitudinal members 3, 4, which contribute to an additional stiffening, and to which, for example, the striking of a crane hook is possible.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, regions protruding upward beyond the actual upper side of the support frame 2 can be seen. On the one hand, these are the supports 22, which are releasably inserted into the stacking pockets 20. In the end region, two spacer straps 24 can be seen in each case, which prevent the transport pallets 1 stacked one above the other from slipping. These spacers 24 do not hinder the stacking, but provide the necessary security when stacking and with respect to the entrained fence elements or shut-off for a sufficient distance from the underside of the transport pallet LEine hinge plate 31, attached to the facing longitudinal sides of the side members 3, 4 is used to articulated attachment of a plug-in, not shown, which can be folded down when not in use and is erected in use, so that fence elements or shut-off elements can be plugged into the plug-in holder.

The embodiment of Figure 4 differs from the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3. It will therefore be made to the comments on Figures 1 to 3 reference. Through the view from below and the drawn Double lines make it clear that longitudinal profiles 8-13 and transverse profiles 14, 15 are C-profiles open at the bottom.

The essential difference is best seen in Figure 5, namely in the form of a brace 25, which can be seen only in the side view. Two of these bracing 25 are located outside of the support frame 2 and that the side of the side members 3, 4. Such bracing 25 are used in particular in transport pallets 1 with long lengths or high payloads. The bracing 25 are not limited to use with C-shaped side members 3, 4 or cross members 5, 6, but can also be used in the embodiment of Figure 1 with closed side members or cross members. The bracing 25 consist of a rod-shaped central part 26 which extends parallel to the top of the illustrated longitudinal member 3 parallel to this and extends between two spacers 27 which extend above the longitudinal profiles 3, 4. The spacers 27 have somewhat the same dimensions as the transverse channels 28 of the node elements 7 to be recognized below the spacers 27. It can be seen in FIG. 5 that the bracing 25, which serve as reinforcements, are mounted laterally outside and when the supporting frame 2 is stacked to disturb.

At the middle part 26 and the spacers 27 close at the ends in the direction of the ends in an angle extending end portions 29, which are attached to the visible in Figure 5 outside of the longitudinal member 3, in particular welded, It is about tie rods. As a result, the transport pallet 1 can be made longer because the tensile stresses occurring in the region of the upper side of the longitudinal members 3, 4 are absorbed to a considerable extent by the bracing and introduced via the spacers 27 directly into the knot pieces 7, where the forces in turn directly from one Forklift fork can be included, so that the side members 3, 4 are less heavily loaded and can be constructed correspondingly easier and more material-saving. The transverse channels 28 have, for example, an opening size of 74 mm × 160 mm, whereas the longitudinal profiles 8-13 and transverse profiles 14, 15 are, for example, rectangular profiles of the dimensions 80 mm × 160 mm. By appropriately stably constructed steel castings as node elements 7, the considerable forces that occur especially when loaded transport pallets can be safely collected.

It is noted that the weight introduced into a transport pallet 1 can be considerable, especially when two of the transport pallets 1 are stacked one above the other. A weight of about 1, 8 t must be able to be collected, which is easily possible with the transport pallet 1 according to the invention.

The cast steel parts can be a combination of cast steel and welded parts. They can be produced as a hybrid component. Of course, it is also conceivable to combine a plurality of cast steel components for the node elements 7, so that left and right components with respect to left and right side members 3, 4 can be put together.

The transport pallet can be provided with various, not shown attachments. By way of example, mounting plates 33 for a crane pendulum are arranged on the cross members 5, 6. By means of the crane pendulum to be screwed, the transport pallet 1 can be lifted in the middle.
