Description

Transporteinnchtung zur Beförderung von Kraftfahrzeugen in Gebäuden Transport responsibility for the transport of motor vehicles in buildings
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transporteinrichtung zur Beförderung von Kraftfahrzeugen in einem Gebäude, sowie ein Verfahren zum Einstellen von Kraftfahrzeugen.The invention relates to a transport device for the transport of motor vehicles in a building, and a method for adjusting motor vehicles.
Prinzipiell lassen sich verschiedene Garagierungssysteme für fahrerlose Fahrzeuge unterscheiden, nämlich solche, bei denen die Fahrzeuge von den Transportmitteln auf Paletten transportiert und mit den Paletten abgestellt werden, und solche, bei denen die Fahrzeuge von den Transportmitteln abgeladen und ohne Unterlage auf den Stell- platzen abgestellt werden.In principle, a distinction can be made between various garage systems for driverless vehicles, namely those in which the vehicles are transported by the means of transport on pallets and parked with the pallets, and those in which the vehicles are unloaded from the means of transport and parked on the parking spaces without documents become.
Beide Systeme sind räumlichen Beschränkungen unterworfen: Verbleiben die Fahrzeuge auf den Paletten, so muß jede Palette für das größte zu garagierende Fahrzeug ausgelegt sein, sodaß bei der Vielzahl von kleineren Fahrzeugen Parkraum verschwendet wird. Außerdem ist für jeden Stellplatz eine Palette erforderlich, sodaß der apparative Ausstattungsaufwand für eine derartige Garage sehr hoch ist (z.B. WO- A 87/02405).Both systems are subject to spatial restrictions: if the vehicles remain on the pallets, each pallet must be designed for the largest vehicle to be garaged, so that parking space is wasted in the case of the large number of smaller vehicles. In addition, a pallet is required for each parking space, so that the equipment required for such a garage is very high (e.g. WO-A 87/02405).
Werden die Fahrzeuge ohne Paletten abgestellt, (beispielsweise gemäß EP-A 563 664) so ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit, sie auf dem Stellplatz vom Transportmittel abzunehmen, bzw. sie beim Abholen des Fahrzeugs wieder auf das Transportmittel aufzuladen. Dabei müssen die Transportmittel so niedrig sein, daß sie unter dem auf den Stellplatzboden abgesenkten Fahrzeug herausfahren, und bei der Abholung wieder unter das im Falle eines Reifenschadens sogar noch tiefer abgesunkene Fahrzeug einfahren können. Die Fahrzeuge müssen hochgehoben werden, wobei, da an den Stellplätzen eine Hubeinrichtung nicht zur Verfügung steht, diese am Transportmittel vorgesehen werden muß.If the vehicles are parked without pallets (for example in accordance with EP-A 563 664), there is a need to remove them from the means of transport on the parking space or to reload them onto the means of transport when the vehicle is picked up. The means of transport must be so low that they can drive out from under the vehicle, which has been lowered onto the floor of the parking space, and when they are picked up, they can enter under the vehicle, which has sunk even lower in the event of a tire damage. The vehicles must be lifted up, and since a lifting device is not available at the parking spaces, this must be provided on the means of transport.
Die geschilderten Probleme sind geringer, wenn das Abstellniveau des Fahrzeuges oberhalb des Bodens der Garage ist, auf dem die Transportmittel sich bewegen. Al¬ lerdings sind zusätzliche Einrichtungen am Gebäude für die Herstellung des Abstellniveaus erforderlich, (bei-spielsweise nach WO-A 92/03629 oder WO-A 92/10628) und die Höhe wird deutlich vergrößert.The problems described are less if the parking level of the vehicle is above the floor of the garage on which the means of transport are moving. However, additional facilities on the building are required for the production of the parking level (for example according to WO-A 92/03629 or WO-A 92/10628) and the height is significantly increased.
Für den palettenlosen Transport des Kraftfahrzeuges weisen die Transportmittel horizontal verschwenkbare Arme auf, die jedes Rad des Fahrzeugs ergreifen und hochheben. Die Transportmittel müssen den unterschiedlichen Achsabständen verschiedener Fahrzeuge gerecht werden. Hiefür ist in der DE-C 38 20 891 oder DE-C 39 09 702 schon vorgeschlagen worden, die Transportmittel in zwei nicht zusam¬ menhängende Einheiten zu unterteilen. Die Transportmittel sind spurgebunden und können daher das Kraftfahrzeug nur in einer Richtung unterfahren, worauf in der richtigen Position die Arme ausgeschwenkt werden.For the palletless transport of the motor vehicle, the transport means have horizontally pivotable arms which grip and lift each wheel of the vehicle. The means of transport must have different center distances different vehicles. For this purpose, it has already been proposed in DE-C 38 20 891 or DE-C 39 09 702 to subdivide the means of transport into two unrelated units. The means of transport are track-bound and can therefore only drive under the motor vehicle in one direction, whereupon the arms are swung out in the correct position.
Die Erfindung hat sich nun zur Aufgabe gestellt, ein verbessertes Garagensystem zu schaffen, bei dem sowohl der gebäudeseitige bauliche Aufwand als auch der aus- stattungsseitige, apparative Aufwand möglichst gering gehalten ist.The invention has now set itself the task of creating an improved garage system in which both the building-related structural outlay and the equipment-related outlay on equipment are kept as low as possible.
Erreicht wird das dadurch, daß die Transporteinrichtung zumindest ein insbesondere gleisloses Transportelement und für jedes Kraftfahrzeug zumindest zwei auf dem Stell¬ platz vom Transportelemeπt trennbare Auflageelemente aufweist. Eine Transport¬ einrichtung besteht somit aus mehreren Teilen, von denen die Auflageelemente immer beim Kraftfahrzeug verbleiben, während die wesentlich geringere Anzahl von Trans¬ portelementen nur beim Transport zum und vom Stellplatz eingesetzt wird. Nach dem Abstellen der Fahrzeuge samt ihrer Auflageelemente werden die Transportelemente wieder frei und sind für den Transport anderer Fahrzeuge einsetzbar. In der Folge wird der Begriff Transportmittel für jede für ein Kraftfahrzeug notwendige Beförderungs- einheit verwendet, die aus ein oder zwei Transportelementen und zwei oder vierThis is achieved in that the transport device has at least one in particular trackless transport element and for each motor vehicle at least two support elements that can be separated from the transport element on the parking space. A transport device thus consists of several parts, of which the support elements always remain with the motor vehicle, while the much smaller number of transport elements is only used for transport to and from the parking space. After the vehicles and their support elements have been parked, the transport elements become free again and can be used to transport other vehicles. In the following, the term means of transport is used for each transport unit necessary for a motor vehicle, which consists of one or two transport elements and two or four
Auflageelementen besteht, wobei aber insgesamt die Transporteinrichtung zwar für jedes einstellbare Fahrzeug Auflageelemente, jedoch wesentlich weniger Transport¬ elemente aufweist. Der Platzbedarf auf der Stellfläche leitet sich von der Größe, insbesondere der Länge des Kraftfahrzeuges ab. Der Stellplatz hat keine vorgegebene Begrenzung, sondern es werden unabhängig von der Größe der Kraftfahrzeuge dieThere are support elements, but overall the transport device has support elements for each adjustable vehicle, but significantly fewer transport elements. The space requirement on the floor space is derived from the size, in particular the length, of the motor vehicle. The parking space has no predetermined limit, but it will be regardless of the size of the motor vehicles
Zwischenräume vorgegeben. Jedes Kraftfahrzeug schließt sich immer an das davor- oder danebenstehende Kraftfahrzeug an, vorzugsweise mit einem maximalen Zwi¬ schenraum von 10 cm. Dank der Abtrennung der Auflageelemente werden die Dimensionen der Transportelemente so verringert, daß sie sich unter den abgestellten Fahrzeugen bewegen können. So läßt sich die Belegungsdichte der Abstellfläche deutlich erhöhen.Spaces given. Each motor vehicle always connects to the motor vehicle in front of or next to it, preferably with a maximum space of 10 cm. Thanks to the separation of the support elements, the dimensions of the transport elements are reduced so that they can move under the parked vehicles. In this way, the occupancy density of the storage area can be increased significantly.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist vorgesehen, daß das Auflageelement zumindest einen vom sich anhebenden Transportelement untergreifbaren Einhängesteg aufweist. Auf diese Weise läßt sich eine Minimalhöhe des Transportmittels erzielen, da einIn a preferred embodiment it is provided that the support element has at least one suspension web that can be gripped by the lifting transport element. In this way, a minimum height of the means of transport can be achieved, since a
Anheben der Fahrzeugräder von beispielweise 1 oder 2 cm bereits für den Transport genügt, und der Einhängesteg hoher als die Radauflagefläche an den Auflageelementen liegt Der Einhangesteg kann beispielsweise ein Bruckenstuck zwischen die Radauflageflachen aufweisenden Radstutzelementen bilden, wobei das Transportelement nach dem Abstellen des Fahrzeuges auf den Auflageelementen das Bruckenstuck unterfahren kann Auf jedem Auflageelement ist ein vorderes, hinteres oder seitliches Paar der Kraftfahrzeugrader abgestellt Die Mobilität derRaising the vehicle wheels by, for example, 1 or 2 cm is already sufficient for transport, and the suspension web is higher than the wheel support surface on the Support elements are located
Transporteinnchtung laßt sich in einer bevorzugten Ausfuhrung nochmals erhohen, wenn jeweils zwei Radstutzelemente, insbesondere die beiden Radstutzelemente jeder Fahrzeugachse, mit einem eigenen Transportelement verbindbar sind Somit besteht das Transportmittel für ein Fahrzeug aus zwei voneinander unabhängigen Transportelementen, von denen jedes mit zwei abnehmbaren Radstutzelementen versehen ist Ein Einhangesteg ist in dieser Ausfuhrung an jedem Radstutzelement vorgesehen Lange und Breite dieses Transportelementes sind dabei vorzugsweise so gewählt, daß es sich auch zwischen zwei ein Kraftfahrzeug transportierenden Transportelementen durchbewegen kann, deren Abstand vom Achsabstand des transportierten Kraftfahrzeuges abhangig sindTransport in a preferred embodiment can be increased again if two wheel support elements, in particular the two wheel support elements of each vehicle axle, can be connected to a separate transport element.Therefore, the means of transport for a vehicle consists of two independent transport elements, each of which is provided with two removable wheel support elements In this embodiment, a suspension web is provided on each wheel support element. The length and width of this transport element are preferably selected so that it can also move between two transport elements transporting a motor vehicle, the spacing of which depends on the center distance of the transported motor vehicle
Wenn für jedes Rad ein einzelnes Radstutzelement vorgesehen ist, so kann auch ein der Maximalbelegung der Stellflache entsprechender Vorrat an Radstutzelementen raumsparend gestapelt aufbewahrt werdenIf an individual wheel support element is provided for each wheel, a supply of wheel support elements corresponding to the maximum occupancy of the storage space can also be stored in a space-saving manner
Noch kleiner sind Transportelemente, wenn sie jeweils nur mit einem Radstutzelement verbunden werden, sodaß das Kraftfahrzeug von vier voneinander unabhängigen Transportelementen befordert wird, doch ist die Verwendung von ein oder zwei Transportelementen pro zweiachsigem Kraftfahrzeug vom technischen Aufwand her vorzuziehenTransport elements are even smaller if they are each connected to only one wheel support element, so that the motor vehicle is loaded by four mutually independent transport elements, but the use of one or two transport elements per two-axis motor vehicle is preferable from a technical point of view
Der notige Halt des Rades im Radstutzelement laßt sich bevorzugt dadurch erreichen, daß es eine Auflagemulde aufweist Um die Ein- und Ausfahrt zu erleichtern, ist bevorzugt ein hohenverstellbarer Mitteibereich an der Auflagemulde vorgesehen, sodaß die Mulde zumindest bei der Ausfahrt ausgefüllt sein kann Das kann beispiels¬ weise so geschehen, daß die Radstutzelemente im Ausfahrbereich, gegebenenfalls auch im Einfahrbereich auf vom Boden hochstehende Backen abgesenkt werden, die den Mitteibereich der Mulde anhebenThe necessary hold of the wheel in the wheel support element can preferably be achieved by having a support trough.To facilitate entry and exit, a high adjustable middle area is preferably provided on the support trough, so that the trough can be filled at least during the exit ¬ Wise so that the wheel support elements are lowered in the extension area, possibly also in the entry area, to jaws which rise from the floor and which raise the middle area of the trough
Ein erfindungsgemaßes Transportelement weist bevorzugt einen Rahmen auf, der mit zumindest einem Radstutzelement verbindbar ist, und an einem in zumindest zwei Richtungen bewegbaren Fahrwerk angeordnet ist Aus der Kombination der beiden Richtungen läßt sich dann jede beliebige Bewegung des Transportelementes und des Transportmittels zusammensetzen. In einer weiteren Ausführung ist vorgesehen, daß das Fahrwerk auch auf zumindest einem Kreisbogen bewegbar ist, sodaß das Trans¬ portmittel beispielsweise um 90° verdreht werden kann. Weiters ist es von Vorteil wenn das Fahrwerk zumindest zwei jeweils um zumindest 90° schwenkbare Räder aufweist.A transport element according to the invention preferably has a frame which can be connected to at least one wheel support element and is arranged on a chassis which can be moved in at least two directions. From the combination of the two Directions can be put together any movement of the transport element and the means of transport. In a further embodiment it is provided that the undercarriage can also be moved on at least one circular arc, so that the transport means can be rotated, for example, by 90 °. It is also advantageous if the undercarriage has at least two wheels which can each be pivoted by at least 90 °.
Bevorzugt besteht das Fahrwerk aus vier zumindest um 90° schwenkbare Räder. Das Fahrwerk ist insbesondere elektrisch angetrieben, und kann hiefür mit vorzugsweise austauschbaren Akkumulatoren bestückt sein. Bevorzugt sind zumindest zwei schwenkbare Räder angetrieben, wobei für den Antrieb Einzelmotoren oder auch ein gemeinsamer Antriebsmotor vorgesehen sein kann. In einer weiteren Ausführung kön¬ nen die schwenkbaren Räder auch einen gemeinsamen Schwenkantrieb aufweisen.The chassis preferably consists of four wheels which can be pivoted at least 90 °. The undercarriage is in particular electrically driven and can be equipped with preferably exchangeable batteries for this purpose. At least two swiveling wheels are preferably driven, wherein individual motors or a common drive motor can be provided for the drive. In a further embodiment, the pivotable wheels can also have a common pivot drive.
Für die Verbindung mit den Auflage- bwz. Radstützelementen weisen die Transportelemente Verbindungselemente auf, die relativ zu den Rädern höhenverstellbar sind. Der im Transportelement hiefür vorgesehene Hubantrieb weist bevorzugt eine im Transportelement horizontal wirkende Hydraulikeinheit und ein die Horizontalbewegung in eine Vertikalbewegung umsetzendes Zugmittel auf, das über zumindest eine Umlenkrolle geführt und mit dem Verbindungselement verbunden ist Bevorzugt wird dabei der Rahmen des Transportelementes ebenfalls mit angehoben, von dem die Verbindungselemente nach außen abstehen.

The lifting drive provided for this in the transport element preferably has a hydraulic unit acting horizontally in the transport element and a traction means which converts the horizontal movement into a vertical movement and is guided over at least one deflection roller and connected to the connecting element. The frame of the transport element is also preferably lifted, by which the connecting elements protrude outwards. As a traction device
Kette, ein Seil od. dgl. verwendet werden. Anstelle des hydraulischen Hubantriebes ist natürlich auch ein anderer Hubantrieb möglich, beispielsweie ein elektrischer Spindelantrieb, usw. Um die Transportelemente so klein als möglich machen zu können, ist weiters bevorzugt vorgesehen, daß die höhenverstellbaren Verbin- dungselemente horizontal aus dem Transportelement ausschiebbar sind.Chain, a rope or the like can be used. Instead of the hydraulic lifting drive, another lifting drive is of course also possible, for example an electric spindle drive, etc. In order to be able to make the transport elements as small as possible, it is further preferably provided that the height-adjustable connecting elements can be pushed out horizontally from the transport element.

Ein Gebäude 1 für die Unterbringung von Kraftfahrzeugen, insbesondere eineA building 1 for the accommodation of motor vehicles, in particular one
Parkgarage oder ein Lager, weist zumindest eine Stellebene auf. Innerhalb jeder Stell¬ ebene sind weder Säulen noch Trennwände vorgesehen, sodaß die Größe jedes Stellplatzes 2 jeweils dem dort abgestellten Kraftfahrzeug angepaßt ist. Wie ersichtlich ergeben sich verschieden breite Abstellspuren, wenn verschieden breite Fahrzeuge abgestellt werden, und die Anzahl der Stellplätze in der Länge der Stellfläche ist ebenfalls variabel. Länge und Breite der Stellfläche sind so gewählt, daß eine möglichst variable Aufteilung ohne größere Platzverluste möglich ist. Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Stellfläche hat beispielsweise eine Länge von 22,5 m und eine Breite von 8 m. Die Kraftfahrzeuge 6 sind unabhängig von ihrer Größe nahezu dicht aneinander abgestellt, wobei insbesondere in der Länge ein Sicherheitsabstand von maximal 10 cm eingehalten ist. Mit 5 ist eine Übernahme- bzw. Abgabestation, oder im bevor¬ zugten Fall eines Gebäudes mit mehreren Ebenen ein Lift bezeichnet. Um bei der gezeigten dichten Anordnung der Kraftfahrzeuge 6 einen möglichst raschen Zugriff zu jedem abgestellten Kraftfahrzeug 6 zu erreichen, bzw. um ein neu ankommendes Kraftfahrzeug 6 auch auf einen nicht direkt zugänglichen Stellplatz 2 transportieren zu können, muß die Transporteinrichtung Transportmittel aufweisen, deren Transport¬ elemente auch unterhalb der abgestellten Kraftfahrzeuge 6 sich möglichst nach allen Richtungen bewegen können und am jeweiligen Stellplatz 2 in der Lage sind, das Kraftfahrzeug 6 aufzuladen bzw. abzuladen.Parking garage or a warehouse has at least one level. Neither columns nor partitions are provided within each parking level, so that the size of each parking space 2 is adapted to the motor vehicle parked there. As can be seen, there are parking lanes of different widths when parking vehicles of different widths, and the number of parking spaces in the length of the parking space is also variable. The length and width of the footprint are selected so that the layout is as variable as possible without wasting space. The footprint shown in Fig. 1 has, for example, a length of 22.5 m and a width of 8 m. Regardless of their size, the motor vehicles 6 are parked close to one another, with a safety distance of a maximum of 10 cm being maintained in particular in length. 5 denotes a transfer or delivery station, or in the preferred case of a building with several levels, a lift. In order to achieve the fastest possible access to each parked motor vehicle 6 in the dense arrangement of the motor vehicles 6 shown, or in order to be able to transport a newly arriving motor vehicle 6 to a parking space 2 that is not directly accessible, the transport device must have means of transport whose transport elements below the parked motor vehicles 6 can move as far as possible in all directions and are able to charge or unload the motor vehicle 6 at the respective parking space 2.
Zu diesem Zweck setzt sich ein Transportmittel aus zumindest einem Transportelement 3 und zumindest zwei vom Transportelement 3 abtrennbaren Auflageelementen für die Räder des Kraftfahrzeuges 6 zusammen. Bevorzugt sind pro Fahrzeugachse ein Transportelement 3 und zwei trennbare Radstützelemente 4 vorgesehen, das heißt jeder übliche Personenkraftwagen 6 wird von zwei einzelnen, unabhängigen Transportelementen 3 transportiert, an denen vier einzelne Radstützelemente 4 vorgesehen sind, auf denen das auf dem Stellplatz 2 abgestellte Fahrzeug verbleibt. Die leeren Transportelemente 3 sind daher so kurz und so schmal, daß sie sich unter den abgestellten Fahrzeugen 6 bewegen und auch ein ein Fahrzeug 6 transportierendes Transportmittel kreuzen können, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist. DieFor this purpose, a means of transport is composed of at least one transport element 3 and at least two support elements for the wheels of the motor vehicle 6 that can be separated from the transport element 3. A transport element 3 and two separable wheel support elements 4 are preferably provided for each vehicle axle, that is to say each conventional passenger car 6 is transported by two individual, independent transport elements 3, on which four individual wheel support elements 4 are provided, on which the vehicle parked in the parking space 2 remains. The empty transport elements 3 are therefore so short and so narrow that they move under the parked vehicles 6 and can also cross a means of transport transporting a vehicle 6, as shown in FIG. 1. The
Transportelemente 3 sind insbesondere gleislos, um auch innerhalb der Stellfläche quer verfahren zu können, und ferngesteuert bzw. autark bewegbar, wobei ent- sprechende Sensoren Hindernisse erkennen und die Transportelemente steuern Jedoch ist die Mobilität der Transportelemente 3 nur unwesentlich geringer, wenn sie spurgebunden sind, da auch in diesem Fall sowohl Quer- als auch Langsbewegungen des von den Radstutzelementen 4 befreiten Transportelementes 3 möglich sind, wenn entsprechende Fuhrungen im Boden ausgebildet sindTransport elements 3 are in particular trackless in order to be able to move transversely within the footprint, and can be moved remotely or autonomously, speaking sensors detect obstacles and control the transport elements.However, the mobility of the transport elements 3 is only insignificantly lower if they are track-bound, since in this case both transverse and longitudinal movements of the transport element 3 freed from the wheel support elements 4 are possible if corresponding guides are provided in the Floor are formed
In einer Ubemahmestation existiert ein Vorrat an Radstutzelementen 4, wobei ein ankommendes Fahrzeug 6 auf vier dieser Radstutzelemente auffahrt Zur eindeutigen Positionierung weisen die Radstutzelemente Auflagemulden 41 auf, die durch eine hohenverstellbare Bodenplatte 42 gebildet sind Je zwei Radstutzelemente 4 werden von einem Transportelement 3 aufgenommen, wie in Fig 2 und 3 gezeigt ist Die Transportelemente 3 sind in der Breite kleiner als der kleinste Radabstand jener Fahrzeuge, die im Gebäude abgestellt werden dürfen, und weisen seitlich verschiebbare leistenförmige Verbindungselemente 27 auf Jedes Transportelement 3 umfaßt ein Fahrwerk 8 und einen am Fahrwerk 8 hohenverstellbar angeordnetenIn a pick-up station there is a supply of wheel support elements 4, with an incoming vehicle 6 driving onto four of these wheel support elements 2 and 3 is shown. The transport elements 3 are smaller in width than the smallest wheelbase of those vehicles that may be parked in the building, and have laterally displaceable strip-shaped connecting elements 27. Each transport element 3 comprises a chassis 8 and a height-adjustable on the chassis 8 arranged
Rahmen 30, in dem Fuhrungsstangen 26 und hydraulische Ausschubeinheiten 28,29 für die Verbindungselemente 27 gelagert sindFrame 30 in which guide rods 26 and hydraulic extension units 28, 29 for the connecting elements 27 are mounted
Nach dem Ausschub der Verbindungselemente 27 bis zum Anschlag an die vom Fahrzeug 6 beschwerten Radstutzelemente 4 wird die ebenfalls hydraulischeAfter the connecting elements 27 have been pushed out as far as possible against the wheel support elements 4 weighted down by the vehicle 6, the hydraulic elements become hydraulic
Hubeinrichtung 31 ,32 betätigt, über die der Rahmen 30 angehoben wird, wobei die Verbindungselemente 27 Einhangestege 40 der Radstutzelemente 4 übergreifen, und somit das Kraftfahrzeug 6 anheben (Fig 3, rechts) Am Stellplatz 2 werden der Rahmen 30 und die Verbindungselemente 27 wieder abgesenkt, wobei sich die Verbindungselemente 27 von den Einhangestegen 40 losen, und nach dem Einziehen der Verbindungselemente 27 entfernen sich die Transportelemente 3, sodaß sie für das nächste Transportmittel eingesetzt werden können Wird ein Fahrzeug zur Ubemahmestation gebracht, so werden die Radstutzelemente 4 auf vom Boden hochstehende Blocke 43 abgesenkt, sodaß die Bodenplatte 42 angehoben und die Auflagemulde 41 jedes Radstutzelementes 4 ausgeglichen wird (Fig 4)Lifting device 31, 32 actuated, via which the frame 30 is raised, the connecting elements 27 engaging over attachment webs 40 of the wheel support elements 4, and thus lifting the motor vehicle 6 (FIG. 3, right). At the parking space 2, the frame 30 and the connecting elements 27 are lowered again , with the connecting elements 27 being detached from the hanging webs 40, and after the connecting elements 27 have been pulled in, the transport elements 3 are removed so that they can be used for the next means of transport. If a vehicle is brought to the receiving station, the wheel support elements 4 are raised from the ground Block 43 lowered so that the base plate 42 is raised and the support recess 41 of each wheel support element 4 is compensated (FIG. 4)
Eine bevorzugte Ausfuhrung eines Transportelementes 3 ist im Detail in den Fig 5 bis 8 dargestellt Es umfaßt ein Fahrwerk 8, in dem vier Rader 7 vorgesehen sind Jedes Rad 7 ist auf einem Lagerblock 10 drehbar gelagert, der mittels Lager 45 um eine vertikale Achse drehbar in einem Radgehause 9 angeordnet ist das im Fahrwerk 8 befestigt ist Der Lagerblock 10 tragt an der Oberseite Rollen 17, die einen Ring 1 1 drehbar lagern, der eine Innenverzahnung 12 und eine Außenverzahnung 16 aufweist In die Innenverzahnung 12 greift ein Zwischenzahnrad 13 ein, das mit einem Kegelzahnrad 14 verbunden ist. Dieses kämmt mit einem Kegelzahnrad 15, das am Rad bzw. der Laufrolle 7 fixiert ist. In die Außenverzahnung des Ringes 11 greift ein Ritzel 18 des Fahrantriebes ein, der beispielsweise einen gemeinsamen Antriebsmotor 20 und ein alle Ritzel 18 verbindendes Zugmittelgetriebe 19 umfaßt. Die Räder 7 sind mittels eines Schwenkantriebes schwenkbar, der einen doppelwirkenden Hydrau¬ likzylinder 23 mit beidseitigen Kolbenstangen 22, sowie Lenker 24 und Koppelstäbe 25 aufweist. Die Lenker 24 und die Koppelstäbe 25 sind an über den Ring 17 hoch¬ stehenden Lenkzapfen 21 angelenkt, die am drehbar gelagerten Lagerblock 10 des Rades 7 angeordnet sind, und vorzugsweise Achsbolzen der Rollen 17 bilden.A preferred embodiment of a transport element 3 is shown in detail in FIGS. 5 to 8. It comprises a chassis 8 in which four wheels 7 are provided. Each wheel 7 is rotatably mounted on a bearing block 10 which can be rotated about a vertical axis by means of bearings 45 A wheel housing 9 is arranged which is fixed in the chassis 8. The bearing block 10 carries rollers 17 on the top, which rotatably support a ring 11, which has an internal toothing 12 and an external toothing 16. An intermediate gear 13 engages in the internal toothing 12 one Bevel gear 14 is connected. This meshes with a bevel gear 15, which is fixed to the wheel or the roller 7. A pinion 18 of the travel drive engages in the external toothing of the ring 11 and comprises, for example, a common drive motor 20 and a traction mechanism gear 19 connecting all the pinions 18. The wheels 7 can be pivoted by means of a swivel drive which has a double-acting hydraulic cylinder 23 with piston rods 22 on both sides, as well as links 24 and coupling rods 25. The links 24 and the coupling rods 25 are articulated on steering pins 21 which are raised above the ring 17 and which are arranged on the rotatably mounted bearing block 10 of the wheel 7 and preferably form axle bolts of the rollers 17.
Das Fahrwerk 8 enthält weiters eine Hydraulikpumpe 36, einen Drucktank 37, sowie Steuerventile 39, über die auch die beiden hydraulischen Hubeinrichtungen 31 ,32 und die vier hydraulischen Ausschubeinrichtungen 28,29 bedient werden. An den aus den Druckzylindem 31 vorstehenden Kolbenstangen 32 der Hubeinrichtungen sind Zugmittel 33 befestigt, die jeweils über zumindest eine im hebbaren Rahmen 30 gelagerte Rolle 35 und eine im Fahrwerk 8 gelagerte Rolle 34 geführt und am Rahmen 30 befestigt sind. Der Ausschub der Kolbenstangen 32 verkleinert daher die Umschlingungslängen der Rollen 34, sodaß sich der Rahmen 30 relativ zum Fahrwerk 8 anhebt (Fig. 3 rechts).The undercarriage 8 also contains a hydraulic pump 36, a pressure tank 37, and control valves 39, via which the two hydraulic lifting devices 31, 32 and the four hydraulic extension devices 28, 29 are also operated. Traction means 33 are fastened to the piston rods 32 of the lifting devices protruding from the pressure cylinders 31, each of which is guided over at least one roller 35 mounted in the lifting frame 30 and one roller 34 mounted in the chassis 8 and fastened to the frame 30. The extension of the piston rods 32 therefore reduces the looping lengths of the rollers 34, so that the frame 30 rises relative to the chassis 8 (FIG. 3 on the right).
In jedem Fahrwerk ist weiters eine Steuerung 38, sowie ein austauschbarer Akkumulator 44 angeordnet. Statt der beschriebenen hydraulischen Antriebe für den Ausschub der Verbindungselemente 27, für den Hub des Rahmens 30 und die Verschwenkung der Räder 7 können auch elektrische Antriebe vorgesehen sein.A control 38 and an exchangeable accumulator 44 are also arranged in each undercarriage. Instead of the hydraulic drives described for extending the connecting elements 27, for lifting the frame 30 and pivoting the wheels 7, electric drives can also be provided.
Wenn das Transportmittel nur ein Transportelement 3 und zwei Auflageelemente für jeweils ein Radpaar aufweist, so untergreifen die ausgeschobenen Verbindungselemente 27 beim Anheben des Rahmens 30 jeweils einen durch ein Brückenstück gebildeten Einhängesteg, das die beiden Radstützelemente 4 jedes Radpaares verbindet. Die Verbindungselemente 27 sind zusätzlich mit seitlich, insbesondere hydraulisch ausfahrbaren Distanzhaltern versehen, die gegen die Radstützelemente 4 verspannt werden, um ein Durchbiegen des Brückenstückes zu vermeiden. If the means of transport has only one transport element 3 and two support elements for each pair of wheels, when the frame 30 is raised, the connecting elements 27 which are pushed out engage under a suspension web formed by a bridge piece, which connects the two wheel support elements 4 of each pair of wheels. The connecting elements 27 are additionally provided with laterally, in particular hydraulically extendable spacers which are braced against the wheel support elements 4 in order to prevent the bridge piece from bending.
