Definitions
- the invention relates to a guide device for a rail-guided vehicle with a chassis body with at least one guide roller with a vertical axis of rotation, which is guided in the guide rails formed with an internal guide, preferably with a U-shaped cross-section, and a switching element that extends in the direction of travel is located in front of the guide roller, and can be pivoted in the manner of a cantilever about a vertical axis via an operating device in order to select the direction of travel at branching points of the guide rail.
- the invention relates to an upper guide device for an above and below " rail-guided vehicle with a lower guide device, preferably according to claim 1, and an upper guide device carried by a lifting mast or the like.
- the invention relates to a guidance device for single-track vehicles, such as those used in rack-type conveyors. It is known to mount a floor rail and a top rail in one aisle, a rack operating device running in the rails, which has a chassis with a lifting frame on which a lifting or rack operating device can be moved up and down.
- the rack operating device is provided with a cabin, from which the up and down movement and the forward and backward travel of the rack operating device can be controlled.
- rack operating devices that can change from a rack aisle to a transverse or parallel aisle over a curved section of the rail.
- the chassis wheels are rotatably mounted on the chassis. It is also known that various changing devices are provided for rail junctions, for example switches.
- a rail system is also known, in which guide rails are provided at the branching points in addition to an actual guide rail.
- the vehicle is steered by inserting various guide rollers of the vehicle into the guide rail.
- a middle guide roller is constantly engaged, while a left or right guide roller is alternately engaged with the associated guide rail when cornering.
- the object of the invention is to provide a guide device for rail-guided vehicles, in particular for rack operating devices, which can be controlled directly from the device and which has the advantage over the known prior art that the device is guided more evenly at the branch points and in which no guide elements lying outside the rail are necessary.
- This is achieved according to the invention in that at the branching points of the guide rail the guide vanes are arranged opposite the vehicle and can be pivoted about a vertical axis, that the preferably wedge-shaped switching element has control surfaces on both sides, and that the guide vane has a counter surface or the like. has, which for switching in the respective position of the switching element on the inside of the guide rail
- straight driving or cornering is initiated by pivoting the guide vanes.
- the guide flag is swiveled directly from the device via the switching element.
- a guide element which is designed in a wedge shape, has proven to be the most advantageous for switching the guide vanes.
- the guide flags have a recess at their free end, into which switching elements engage when switching.
- the upper guide device according to the invention • ** - is the front by a guided in the railjons ⁇ arm and a rear guide roller and a preferably centrally arranged Aus ⁇ relaxed, at which a deflecting roller or the like. is mounted, which is guided along a stationary guide piece when the vehicle is cornering.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a view of a shelf operating device with a guide device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 also shows schematically a branching point in plan view with different positions of the guide flag
- FIG. 3 shows analogous views of a rail with several branches ⁇ , where several vehicles are indicated
- FIG. 4 shows a plan view of a double branching point
- FIGS. 5a and 5b show a K
- FIGS. 6 to 8 each show a view of the upper rail corresponding to the floor rails of the previous figures with the upper guide device.
- the shelf operating device shown in FIG. 1 has a lower undercarriage 1, a lifting mast 2 and an upper tail unit 3 in a conventional manner. At the
- Lifting mast 2 the lifting carriage 14 is mounted so that it can move vertically.
- the operating cabin, from which the control of the control device takes place, is also located in the lifting carriage 14.
- the tail unit 3 of the upper guide device has upper guide rollers 4 which are guided in an upper guide rail 5.
- the special type of upper guide at the branching points is discussed at the end of this description.
- the undercarriage 1 has a chassis body 6 at the front and rear, each of which carries a roller 7 and two guide rollers 8 in the exemplary embodiment.
- the undercarriage body 6 can be mounted on the undercarriage 1 both rigidly and laterally or rotatably.
- the guide rollers 8 are guided in a lower guide rail 9, which is designed with U-profiles in the exemplary embodiment.
- rollers 7 run from a running rail 10, but this is shown
- Rubber wheels could also be provided instead of the rollers 7, which run without rails on the concrete floor. .
- the undercarriage bodies 6 are provided with wedge-shaped switching elements 11, which are located in front of the foremost guide roller 8 in the direction of travel (see section A of FIG. 1).
- the guide rail 9 is each provided with a guide vane 12.
- Fig. 2A the switching flag 12 is shown in the position that would require a branching of the rack operating device to the right.
- the rack operating device moves to the right. If the switching element 11 is in the position shown in FIG. 2A, the rack operating device moves to the right. If the switching element 11 is in the position shown in FIG. 2B, as shown in FIG. 2C, the guide vane 12 is pivoted by the switching element 11 and the rack operating device moves, as in FIG.
- FIG. 3 shows the situation when several vehicles are running on a rail or on a rail system, only the chassis bodies 6 of one device being shown in FIG. 3.
- FIG. 3A shows the starting position, according to FIG. 3B device 1 drives
- the guide vanes 12 can either spring back into the original position, as shown in FIG. 3D, or they are designed to be bistable and remain in
- the driving channel (directional channel) is uniquely determined.
- an analog switching element 11A takes over the task of switching the guides 12 when traveling in the opposite direction.
- the guide vanes 12 can be provided with a recess 18, as shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b.
- the tip of the switching element 11 projects through this recess 18 during the switching process.
- the guide vanes 12 can have a bent section 19, which also facilitates guiding through the switching element 11.
- the upper guide rail 5 can be designed analogously to the lower guide rail 9, the synchronism of the circuit being ensured by direct mechanical or motor-controlled switching devices.
- a guide piece 17 is provided on the upper guide rail 5 in the region of the branching point.
- the guide piece 17 takes over the guidance of the deflection roller 16 and thus stabilizes the device.
- the deflection roller 16 does not come into contact with the guide piece 17, so that there is no derivation of the upper tail unit 3.
- the guide piece 17 can be designed as a rail section.
