Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lifting and swiveling device for objects, in particular motor vehicles and the like, with substantially horizontally extending tie rods, with a frame which can be pivoted about a substantially horizontal axis of the tie rods and with a lifting device which rotates about a substantially horizontal axis of the Drawbars can be pivoted and is connected to the frame in an articulated manner via a holder which can be moved along it, the holder being designed to be displaceable along the lifting device and lockable at any point by means of an actuating device.
  • Such a lifting device is known from EP-A 0 285 292. It is used there only to tip a vehicle to which a so-called “car cradle” is attached in order to avoid manual tipping. The lifting device is then removed and the car lies on the car cradle.
  • Disadvantages of this device are the lack of a connection between the cradle and the lifting device when lifting and the risk of the car tipping over after the lifting device has been removed.
  • the invention aims to provide a device of the type mentioned, which has the disadvantages of avoids previously known solutions while being easy to use and safe during every phase of use.
  • the frame is a tensioning frame which has on its side facing away from the lifting device an essentially 90 ° curved and then again rectilinear support frame and in that fastening devices are provided on the tensioning frame for fixing the object to be tilted . That is why it is also mentioned in the description and the claims.
  • the invention thus relates in particular to a four-point tilting device for motor vehicles, trailers, wagons, machines and components, consisting of the clamping frame, which can be pivoted to the dead center via an articulated lifting device to the bottom of the to be tilted
  • the device preferably having a device through which the objects to be processed, if they are motor vehicles, can enter the tilting device and by means of a clamping device without dismantling the wheels on the clamping frame Tilting device can be fixed and by means of a winch or similar lifting device can be brought into the position required for processing by a person with little effort, a tilting device preventing overturning. The return to the starting position takes place by returning the lifting device.
  • a safety device takes into account that the different dimensions of the objects to be tilted, in particular motor vehicles, corresponding to their different centers of gravity result in different tilt angles, which result in a variable tilt angle setting need to safely prevent overturning.
  • the tilting device according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that an adjustable overturn protection reliably prevents the risk of overturning and can be adapted to all different tilting angles.
  • the tensioning frame is preferably connected to the lifting device by means of tie rods in such a way that the tie rods on the tensioning frame are articulated in the middle of the set track width, so that the lifting device is always vertical at every tilt angle.
  • the tilting device according to the invention is location-independent and can be set up and operated on a flat surface at the place of use required in each case.
  • Similar tipping devices have the disadvantage that the objects to be tipped for the insertion into the tipping device are laborious and time-consuming to lift or that the wheels of a vehicle have to be dismantled and the vehicle has to be fastened to special holding devices before it can be brought into the corresponding working position .
  • stationary machines can be pivoted into the clamping frame.
  • the object to be tilted is fastened to a tensioning frame 4 by means of tensioning chains or straps 14.
  • the clamping frame 4 is provided with a support frame, which can either be made in one piece or not with it.
  • the clamping frame is articulated by means of brackets 23 on a lifting device 24.
  • two extension arms 17 can be spread at the desired angle by means of adjusting spindles 18. They prevent the object from tipping over, the set angle depends on the geometry and the position of the center of gravity of the object.
  • FIG. 2 shows a device according to the invention analogous to FIG. 1 without an object to be tilted and not yet fully assembled.
  • One end of the pull rod 28 is not yet connected to the axis of the wheels 31 of the lifting device 24. This is shown more precisely than in FIG. 1:
  • a slide 27 slides in a guide of the lifting device and is moved by means of a winch and a rope 29. The rope is deflected at the upper end 30 of the lifting device and runs from the carriage back to the end 30, so that a translation in the manner of a pulley block is achieved.
  • the lifting device is provided at its lower end during assembly with a shoe 32, which is removed after the connection of the lifting device 24 with at least one pull rod 28, in order to be able to stand freely during assembly and has wheels 31 on whose axis the Tension rods 28 are attached in order to be able to follow the object to be tilted in the course of their actuation, as can be seen from FIG. 1.
  • the wheels 31 enable the entire, fully assembled device to be moved like a sliding chest by a single person, who only has to grip and lift the extension arms 17.
  • the usual track widths of vehicles is adjustable, the setting of the track widths being fixed by means of two bolts 6 at a close distance, for example 4 cm in FIG. 2 or at a distance of 8 cm of the holes 7 in FIG. 3 with secured bolts.
  • the track gauges are therefore to be fixed at a distance from the boreholes 6, in the example at intervals of 4 cm.
  • a stiffened support frame 15 (FIG. 5) is fastened, for example with secured bolts 16, which can also be attached in the same way to the lifting side of the tensioning frame 5, so that the tilting device can be used equally from both sides .
  • two cantilever arms 17 are attached in an articulated connection as an anti-tip device 17, 18, which can be adjusted to the tilt angle dependent on the center of gravity of the workpiece or vehicle is. With two extension arms, unevenness in the floor at the installation site of the tipping device can be compensated.
  • the load on the lifting device that is still present can be read off in every tilting angle position during the lifting process, so that the support height on the tilting side, for example with the crank the spindle 18, can be set in good time and thus the risk of overturning can be eliminated with certainty.
  • the lifting device 24 rests on the floor with rollers or wheels and is with articulated pull rods 28 with the clamping frame part 4 or depending on the working side with the clamping frame part 5, connected with secured bolts.
  • the length of the tie rods 28 can be adjusted to the track width of the vehicles or other workpieces to be machined.
  • the tie rods 28 are provided with the same number of holes at the same distance as on the tenter frame 4, 5 for adjustment to the track width and are fastened with secured bolts, which are preferably located in the middle of the set track width on the tenter frame 4, 5, so that the lifting device 24 during the lifting process, from the smallest to the largest angle of inclination of the tilted clamping frame, is substantially vertical so that the workpiece or vehicle in the clamping frame cannot be touched by the lifting column or lifting device 24.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that both ends of the tensioning frame 4, 5 are designed to fasten the support frame 15 and the lifting device 24 and that when the object to be tilted is fastened, both the support frame and the lifting device can be fastened to the tensioning frame. This allows you to tilt the object first in one direction, then in the other, without having to undo the attachment.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the lifting device 24 is releasably connected to the stenter and that, for safety reasons, a support (not shown) is connected to the stenter in its place after the object has been tilted. This support is either replaced by the lifting device for tipping back or enables the device to be tipped back by a brake. This means that several clamping frames can be operated alternately with just one lifting device.
