Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Erfassen des oberen Randes von einem oder mehreren metallischen Behältern, damit diese transportiert werden können, bestehend aus einem Gestell, das an der Gabel eines Gabelstaplers oder dem Haken einer Hubvorrichtung befestigt werden kann, welches Gestell mindestens einen im wesentlichen vertikal verlaufenden Halter enthält, der zur Aufnahme eines Kastens dient, in welchem zwei Backen gegeneinander und gegenüber dem Kasten um horizontale Achsen schwenkbar angeordnet sind, welche Backen in ihrer wirksamen unteren Stellung zum Erfassen des oberen Randes des metallischen Behälters geeignet sind.The invention relates to a device for grasping the upper edge of one or more metallic containers so that they can be transported, consisting of a frame that can be attached to the fork of a forklift or the hook of a lifting device, the frame at least one substantially vertical contains extending holder, which serves to receive a box in which two jaws are arranged against each other and with respect to the box about horizontal axes, which jaws in their effective lower position are suitable for gripping the upper edge of the metallic container.
Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der US-Patentschrift 4.068.880 bekannt.Such a device is known from US Pat. No. 4,068,880.
Bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung ist der Kasten beweglich im Halter aufgehängt und zu diesem Zweck mit einer in vertikaler Richtung verlaufenden Nut versehen, in welcher ein durch den Halter führender Zapfen durchgeführt ist, sowie mit einer Feder, mit deren Hilfe der Kasten im Halter beweglich unterstützt ist. Ausserdem ist ein verhältnismässig komplizierter BlockVermechanismus vorgesehen, um die Backen in der wirksamen Stellung zu blockieren, sowie ein Mechanismus zum Lösen der Blockierung.In this known device, the box is movably suspended in the holder and for this purpose is provided with a groove running in the vertical direction, in which a pin is guided through the holder, and with a spring, with the aid of which the box is movably supported in the holder . There is also a relatively complicated block mechanism to block the jaws in the operative position and a mechanism to release the block.
Ausserdem müssen die Backen ausschliesslich durch Schwerkraft in die schliessende wirksame Stellung bewegt werden,In addition, the jaws must be moved into the closing effective position exclusively by gravity,
Die Erfindung hat eine starke Vereinfachung der Vorrichtung und Verbesserung ihrer Wirkung zum Ziel.The aim of the invention is to greatly simplify the device and improve its effectiveness.
Dieses Ziel wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch erreicht, dass der Kasten durch zwei in vertikaler Ricntung in Abstand voneinander angeordnete Befestigangselemente im Halter befestigt ist.This aim is achieved according to the invention in that the box is fastened in the holder by two fastening elements arranged at a distance from one another in vertical direction.
Während der Arbeit ist der Kasten somit nicht gegenüber dem Halter beweglich.The box is therefore not movable relative to the holder during work.
Zur Aufnahme eines auf einer Unterlage stehenden Behälters wird die Vorrichtung mit der Hilfe eines Gabelstaplers oder einer Hubvorrichtung niedergelassen, bis die obere Backe auf die obere Wand des Behälters stösst. Bei einer weiteren Bewegung der Backen nach unten bewegen sich diese gegen die Wirkung der Feder auseinander, so dass die untere Backe gegen den Rumpf des Behälters stösst.To receive a container standing on a support, the device is lowered with the aid of a forklift or a lifting device until the upper jaw hits the upper wall of the container. If the jaws move downward further, they move apart against the action of the spring, so that the lower jaw abuts the body of the container.
Wenn die Vorrichtung wieder gehoben wird, wird der obere Rand des Behälters zwischen den Backen festgeklemmt, so dass der Behälter mitgenommen, gehoben und/oder transportiert wird.When the device is lifted again, the upper edge of the container is clamped between the jaws, so that the container is carried, lifted and / or transported.
Nachdem Aufsetzen des Behälters wird das Gestell und mit ihm der Kasten nach hinten geneigt, und zwar durch den bei Gabelstaplern oder einer Hubvorrichtung bereits vorhandenen Neigungsmechanismus , wodurch die untere Backe von der oberen Backe weggedrückt wird,und der Behälter freigegeben wird.After placing the container, the frame and with it the box is tilted backwards, by the tilting mechanism already present in forklift trucks or a lifting device, whereby the lower jaw is pushed away from the upper jaw and the container is released.
Die Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung erläutert.The invention is explained with reference to the drawing.
Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt einen Längsschnitt des Halters und des Kastensder erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung.The only figure of the drawing shows a longitudinal section of the holder and the box of the device according to the invention.
Der Halter besteht aus zwei Winkelprofilen 1, die im Abstand voneinander, jedoch gegenseitig ausgerichtet aufgestellt sind. In der Figur ist nur das hintere Winkelprofil 1 mit Schenkeln la und lb dargestellt.The holder consists of two angle profiles 1, which are set up at a distance from each other, but mutually aligned. In the figure, only the rear angle profile 1 with legs la and lb is shown.
Wenn z.B. vier Behälter gleichzeitig transportiert werden sollen, sind vier derartige Halter unter 90° sternartig angeordnet. Für die Aufnahme von mehreren Behältern können mehrere sternartige Anordnungen nebeneinander aufgestellt werden. Auch können die Halter parallel zueinander in einer Haltergruppe angeordnet sein.If, for example, four containers are to be transported at the same time, four such holders are arranged in a star shape at 90 °. Can accommodate multiple containers several star-like arrangements can be placed side by side. The holders can also be arranged parallel to one another in a holder group.
Der Halter oder die Haltegruppe 1 ist mit Mitteln 2 versehen, mit deren Hilfe der Halter oder die Haltegruppe 1 durch die Gabel 3 eines Gabelstaplers bzw. den Haken eines Kranes oder einer andere Hubvorrichtung erfasst werden kann.The holder or the holding group 1 is provided with means 2, by means of which the holder or the holding group 1 can be gripped by the
Diese Mittel 2 können z.B. durch zwei horizontale Platten gebildet werden, die miteinander einen Schlitz für die Gabel 3 bilden und die durch Stützen 4 mit den Winkelprofilen 1 verbunden sind.These means 2 can e.g. are formed by two horizontal plates, which together form a slot for the
