Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine neuartige Ausführung eines Stapler-Fahrzeugs gemäss den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1. Ein derartiges Staplerfahrzeug ist bereits aus der US-A-1,878,995 bekannt.The invention relates to a novel embodiment of a forklift vehicle according to the characteristics of the preamble of independent claim 1. Such a truck is already known from US-A-1,878,995.

Der industrielle Umschlag von Gütern, insbesondere Palettengütern, erfordert geeignete Maschinen zur Bewegung und zum Einlagern dieser Güter. Stapler-Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Gapelstapler mit Fahrersitz, sind in verschiedensten Ausführungsformen bekannt und gebräuchlich. Die Funktion bedingt, dass beim Auf- und Abnehmen der Last der Gapelstapler mit der Last voran frontal auf die jeweilige Ladeposition hingesteuert werden muss. Die gesamte Vorrichtung zum Bewegen bzw. Anheben der Last behindert dabei die Sicht des Fahrers erheblich. Aus diesem bekanntem Problem heraus kennt der Stand der Technik eine Reihe von Verbesserungen, die auf die Konstruktion der Hubvorrichtung am Gabelstapler abzielen. Die Hubvorrichtung besteht im allgemeinen aus einem vor der Fahrerkabine angebrachten Mast, oft als rahmenförmiger Doppelmast ausgelegt, an dem durch Schienen oder eine Teleskopvorrichtung die Traggabel vertikal angehoben werden kann. Weiterhin ist an dem Mast die dafür erforderliche Hydraulik oder eine Kettenmechanik angebracht. Die Traggabel besteht aus einer durch Stützstreben gebildeten Stirnfläche und den dazu vertikal angeordneten, horizontalen Tragarmen oder Zinken, auf denen die Last aufliegt. Die Traggabel hat so meist L-Form; die vertikale Stirnfläche dient der Befestigung an der Hubvorrichtung des Hubmastes.The industrial handling of goods, especially pallet goods, requires suitable machines for movement and Storage of these goods. Forklift vehicles, in particular forklift trucks with driver's seat, are in various designs known and in use. The function requires that when picking up and taking off the load the forklift truck with the Load forward headed towards the respective loading position must become. The entire device for moving or Raising the load considerably hinders the driver's view. From this known problem, the state of the Technique made a number of improvements to the design the lifting device on the forklift. The lifting device generally consists of one in front of the driver's cab attached mast, often as a frame-shaped double mast designed on which by rails or a telescopic device the fork can be lifted vertically. Farther is the required hydraulic system or a Chain mechanics attached. The carrying fork consists of a end face formed by support struts and the vertical arranged horizontal support arms or tines to whom the load rests. The carrying fork usually has an L shape; the vertical end face is used for attachment to the lifting device of the mast.

EP 283 637 und DE 296 06 840 beschreiben technische Lösungen die darauf abzielen, das in der Blickrichtung des Fahrers liegende Querschnittprofil der Traggabel zu verringern. In EP 283 637 wird beschrieben, die für das Heben der Last erforderliche Hydraulik in die Hubstange zu integrieren. Die Traggabel wird dabei konventionell, d.h. mit der Stirnfläche aufrecht und quer zur Längsachse des Fahrzeugs am Hubmast befestigt. Der Hubmast ist an der Vorderseite des Fahrzeugs, vor der Radachse, angebracht.EP 283 637 and DE 296 06 840 describe technical solutions that aim in the driver's line of sight to reduce the cross-sectional profile of the fork. In EP 283 637 is described for lifting the load integrate the necessary hydraulics into the lifting rod. The The fork becomes conventional, i.e. with the face upright and transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle on the mast attached. The mast is at the front of the vehicle, in front of the wheel axle.

DE 296 06 840 zeigt einen einzelnen, mittig an der Fahrzeugfront angebrachten Hubmast geringer Breite. Sein inneres Profil dient als Führungsschiene für einen Schlitten und die daran mit der Stirnfläche befestigte Traggabel.DE 296 06 840 shows a single one in the middle of the vehicle front attached mast of small width. His inside Profile serves as a guide rail for a sled and the carrying fork attached to it with the end face.

EP 572 846 schlägt eine modifizierte Anordnung der Hubvorrichtung vor. Statt einer konventionellen Gabel mit einer fix am Gabelstapler befestigten Hubvorrichtung wird eine komplizierte, über mehrere Achsen getragene Schubgabel vorgesehen, die zum seitlichen Aufladen der Last befähigt. Dabei wird der eigentliche Hubmast seitlich vorne in die Traggabel integriert und somit aus dem Gesichtsfeld des Fahrers entfernt. Nachteilig ist dabei die Handhabung durch die zusätzlichen Gelenkachsen. Durch die zusätzlichen Hebelarme wird die zulässige Traglast reduziert. Die Hubhöhe ist gering.EP 572 846 proposes a modified arrangement of the lifting device in front. Instead of a conventional fork with a fix a complicated lifting device attached to the forklift Push fork supported over several axes is provided, which enables the load to be loaded laterally. there the actual mast is laterally at the front in the fork integrated and thus removed from the driver's field of vision. The handling is disadvantageous due to the additional Joint axes. Through the additional lever arms the permissible load is reduced. The lifting height is low.

WO 88/0656 beschreibt ein Konstruktionsprinzip, das den Hubmast in den hinteren Teil des Gabelstaplers verlegt. Die teleskopische Hubvorrichtung ist konventionell ausgelegt mit einem aufrechten Hubmast, der aber hinter der Fahrzeugkabine und vor der Hinterachse des Fahrzeugs gelagert ist. Ausfahrbare, horizontale Querträger verbinden diese Hubvorrichtung mit der eigentlichen Traggabel, die vor der Fahrerkabine in Front des Fahrzeugs gelagert wird. Die Befestigung der Traggabel an der Hubvorrichtung erfolgt durch die vertikal angeordnete Stirnfläche der Traggabel. Die Sichtbehinderung des Fahrers durch das Hubsystem wird beseitigt, nicht jedoch die Sichtbehinderung durch Elemente, die an der eigentlichen Traggabel angebracht sind. Zudem erlaubt das System während der Benutzung kein Verlassen der Fahrerkabine. Vorteilhaft ist die Anordnung des Hubmasts im hinteren Teil des Fahrzeugs, da so eine verbesserte Schwerpunktlage des Fahrzeugs bei aufgenommener Last erreicht wird.WO 88/0656 describes a construction principle that the lifting mast moved to the rear of the forklift. The telescopic lifting device is designed with conventional an upright mast, but behind the vehicle cabin and is mounted in front of the rear axle of the vehicle. extendable, horizontal cross beams connect this lifting device with the actual fork, which is in front of the cab Front of the vehicle is stored. The attachment of the carrying fork on the lifting device is done by the vertically arranged Face of the fork. The visual impairment of the Driver through the lifting system is eliminated, but not the Visual impairment due to elements attached to the actual Carrying fork are attached. The system also allows during no need to leave the driver's cab during use. Advantageous is the arrangement of the mast in the rear of the vehicle, because so an improved center of gravity of the vehicle is reached when the load is picked up.

Grundsätzlich ist allen diesen beschriebenen Lösungen gemeinsam, dass sie nicht die Sichtbehinderung des Fahrers durch die vertikale Stirnfläche der Traggabel, insbesondere durch Traggabeln mit daran angebrachten Zusatzvorrichtungen, beseitigen. Derartige Zusatzvorrichtungen sind vor allem Positionierungshilfen, mit deren Hilfe die Arme der Traggabel relativ zum Fahrzeug seitlich verstellt werden können oder durch die der relative Abstand der Arme der Traggabel verringert oder vergrössert werden kann. Eine derartige Vorrichtung heisst in der Fachsprache Gabel-Seitenschieber bzw. Zinkenverstelleinrichtung. Diese Positionierungseinrichtungen werden meist hydraulisch betrieben, werden einzeln oder in Kombination angebracht und sind zusammen mit zusätzlichen Führungselementen in die Traggabel integriert, und zwar in die vertikale Stirnfläche. Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Gabelstapler werden vorwiegend zum Be- und Entladen von Pritschentransportern (LKWs) bei Warenlagern und Produktionseinrichtungen benutzt. Genau auf Pritschenhöhe ist beim Beladen die Sicht durch die dem Stand der Technik entsprechende Standardkonstruktion der Traggabel mit vertikaler Stirnfläche massiv beeinträchtigt.Basically, all of the solutions described are common that they are not obstructing the driver's vision the vertical end face of the fork, in particular by Remove support forks with attached attachments. Such additional devices are primarily positioning aids, with the help of the arms of the fork relative can be adjusted to the side of the vehicle or by which reduces the relative distance between the arms of the fork or can be enlarged. Such a device In technical terms it means fork sideshift or tine adjustment device. These positioning devices are usually operated hydraulically, are used individually or in Combination attached and are together with additional Guide elements integrated in the fork, namely in the vertical face. The state of the art Known forklifts are mainly used for loading and unloading of flatbed transporters (trucks) at warehouses and production facilities used. Is exactly at platform level Load the view through the state of the art Standard construction of the fork with vertical End face massively affected.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe gemäss Kennzeichen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Dabei wird die Positionierungseinrichtung zur Horizontalen hin geneigt und der Hubmast hinter die Vorderachse verlegt. Als Positionierungseinrichtung im Sinne der Patentansprüche gilt dabei die gesamte Baueinheit von Hydraulikelementen, Führungs- und Stützelementen, welche die Arme der Tragvorrichtung mit dem Hubmast verbinden. Die äussere Begrenzung der Positionierungseinrichtung hat im Querschnitt etwa die Form eines Rechtecks. Die Längsseite ist quer zur Fahrtrichtung des Stapelfahrzeuges angeordnet. Dadurch ergibt sich erfindungsgemäss eine flache, zur Horizontalen geneigte Lagerung der Positionierungseinheit. Der Neigungswinkela beträgt mindestens 30°. Vorteil dieser Anordnung ist, dass die Positionierungseinrichtung damit in geringerem Ausmass die Sicht nach vorne versperrt. Erfindungsgemäss erlaubt dies, den Hubmast hinter die Vorderachse zur Fahrzeugmitte hin zurückzusetzen. Der hinter der Vorderachse angeordnete Hubmast und die Positionierungseinrichtung wirken nicht als Last vor der Vorderachse, wodurch die Schwerpunktlage verbessert wird. Ausgehend von einem Fahrzeug konventioneller Bauart, mit 3,5 - 4 Tonnen Hubkraft und einem Mastgewicht von ca. 900 kg, kann die Gewichterspanis 25% der Hubkraft betragen. Das Stapelfahrzeug kann so entweder kürzer gebaut werden oder das Gegengewicht kann leichter sein. Dies verbessert die Manövrierbarkeit des Fahrzeugs z.B. in engen Lagerhäusern, sowie die Beschleunigung und den Treibstoffverbrauch. Weiterhin wird durch Zurücksetzen des Hubmastes nach seitlich hinten, und eine dem Stand der Technik gemässe kompakte Ausführung des Hubmastes mit innenliegender hydraulischer Hubvorrichtung, das Sichtfeld des Fahrers entscheidend vergrössert, insbesondere in Fahrtrichtung nach vorn.According to the invention, this task is performed according to the characteristics of Claim 1 solved. The positioning device inclined towards the horizontal and the mast behind the Front axle relocated. As a positioning device in the sense the entire unit of Hydraulic elements, guide and support elements, which the Connect the arms of the carrying device to the mast. The outer limitation of the positioning device has Cross section about the shape of a rectangle. The long side is arranged transversely to the direction of travel of the stacking vehicle. According to the invention, this results in a flat surface to the horizontal inclined positioning unit. The Tilt angle a is at least 30 °. Advantage of this arrangement is that the positioning device is less Dimensionally blocked the view to the front. According to the invention this allows the mast to be behind the front axle Reset center of vehicle. The one behind the front axle arranged mast and the positioning device act not as a load in front of the front axle, which reduces the center of gravity is improved. Starting from a vehicle more conventional Design, with 3.5 - 4 tons lifting force and a mast weight of about 900 kg, the weight spanis can be 25% of the Lifting capacity. The stacking vehicle can either be shorter build or the counterweight may be lighter. This improves the maneuverability of the vehicle e.g. in tight Warehouses, as well as acceleration and fuel consumption. Furthermore, by resetting the mast after laterally behind, and a state of the art compact design of the mast with internal hydraulic Lifting device, the driver's field of vision is crucial enlarged, especially in the direction of travel forward.

Eine Positionierungseinrichtung im Sinne dieser Erfindung umfasst mechanische und hydraulische Vorrichtungen, wie sie für Zinkenverstellgeräte, Seitenschieber, Fass- und Ballenklammern, Klammergabeln oder eine Kombination derartiger Funktionen notwendig sind. Ein Seitenschieber erlaubt das seitliche Verschieben der Tragvorrichtung relativ zum Fahrzeug. Dies erlaubt exaktes feines Positionieren der Tragarme, ohne erneut die Fahrzeugposition verändern zu müssen. Eine Verstellvorrichtung für einzelne Arme der Tragvorrichtung relativ zueinander erlaubt exaktes Anpassen der Tragvorrichtung an die Last, z.B. an die Unterseitenführung von Paletten. Beide genannten Positionierungseinrichtung sind in der Praxis zweckmässig und gebräuchlich, erfordern aber eine Vielzahl zusätzlicher Bauelemente. Bei diesen Elementen handelt es sich vornehmlich um Teleskop- und Stützstreben sowie um Hydraulikzylinder. Die Gesamtheit dieser Elemente ist in einem rechteckigem Querschnitt angeordnet und bildet die Positionierungseinrichtung. Die einzelnen Bauelemente können dabei, abgesehen von funktionsnotwendigen Verbindungen, offenliegen, in einem Rahmen gefasst oder mit Sichtblenden verschalt sein. Erst die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung der Positionierungseinrichtung erlaubt, die Sichtbehinderung durch letztere, insbesondere beim Beladen eines Lkw's auf halber Höhe zu minimieren.A positioning device in the sense of this invention includes mechanical and hydraulic devices as they for tine adjustment devices, sideshift, barrel and bale clamps, Clamping forks or a combination of such Functions are necessary. A sideshift allows that lateral displacement of the support device relative to the vehicle. This allows the support arms to be precisely positioned, without having to change the vehicle position again. A Adjustment device for individual arms of the carrying device relative to each other allows exact adjustment of the carrying device to the load, e.g. to the bottom guide of pallets. Both positioning devices mentioned are in practice expedient and common, but require a large number additional components. These are the elements primarily around telescopic and support struts as well as Hydraulic cylinder. The entirety of these elements is in arranged in a rectangular cross section and forms the Positioning device. The individual components can apart from the necessary connections, exposed, contained in a frame or with screens be boarded up. Only the arrangement according to the invention Positioning device allows the visual impairment by the latter, especially when loading a truck to minimize half height.

Vorteilhaft wird die Positionierungseinrichtung in einem Winkel von mehr als α=60° zwischen der Vertikalen des Hubmastes und der Längsachse der Positionierungseinrichtung gelagert, da dann das in Blickrichtung liegende Profil der Positionierungseinrichtung eine sehr geringe Querschnittfläche aufweist.The positioning device in one is advantageous Angle of more than α = 60 ° between the vertical of the Lift mast and the longitudinal axis of the positioning device stored, because then the profile of the Positioning device has a very small cross-sectional area having.

Vorteilhaft verbindet ein zusätzliches, vorzugsweise vertikales Verbindungselement die Arme der Tragvorrichtung und die Positionierungseinrichtung. Der Fahrer hat so beim Laden in halber Höhe freie Sicht auf die Gabelarme, während sich die Positionierungseinrichtung oben ausserhalb der Blickrichtung befindet. Dieses Merkmal der Erfindung wird auch durch jede andere, von der Vertikalen abweichende Anordnung dieses Verbindungselementes erfüllt, sofern es eine vertikale Verlagerung der Positionierungseinrichtung in Relation zu den Armen der Tragvorrichtung bewirkt.An additional, preferably vertical, one advantageously connects Connecting element the arms of the support device and the positioning device. The driver has so when loading at half height clear view of the fork arms while moving the positioning device above outside of the viewing direction located. This feature of the invention will also by any other arrangement that deviates from the vertical this connecting element, provided it is vertical Relocation of the positioning device in relation to the Arms of the carrying device causes.

Vorteilhaft wird eine so angeordnete Positionierungseinrichtung über der Vorderachse angeordnet, um so weder durch die Ausdehnung in Richtung der Längsachse des Fahrzeugs noch durch ihr Eigengewicht die Hebelwirkung der mit der Tragvorrichtung aufgenommenen Last zu verstärken. Die Last wird dabei von den Vorderrädern aufgenommen. Die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung der Positionierungseinrichtung verbessert also sowohl die Sicht nach vorn wie auch die Schwerpunktlage des Fahrzeugs.A positioning device arranged in this way is advantageous arranged above the front axle, so that neither by the Expansion in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle still due to their own weight, the leverage of the carrying device to reinforce the absorbed load. The burden will be picked up by the front wheels. The inventive Arrangement of the positioning device is improved both the forward view and the center of gravity of the Vehicle.

Eine Tragvorrichtung im Sinne dieser Erfindung umfasst eine oder mehrere Arme, die mit einer Seite an der Positionierungseinrichtung befestigt sind und , parallel angeordnet, nach vorne in Längsrichtung des Fahrzeugs weisen. Üblicherweise wird es sich um eine Traggabel mit mindestens zwei Zinken rechteckigen Querschnitts handeln, die das einfache Transportieren von auf Paletten gelagerten Gütern erlauben. Erfindungsgemäss kann die Tragvorrichtung aber auch als Fass- oder Ballenklammer, Tragdorn oder als eine ähnliche Greif- oder Stützvorrichtung, wie sie üblicherweise bei Gabelstaplern zum Einsatz kommt, ausgebildet sein.A carrying device in the sense of this invention comprises one or multiple arms with one side on the positioning device are attached and, arranged in parallel, point forward in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Usually it will be a carrying fork with at least two Act prongs of rectangular cross-section, which is the easy one Allow goods stored on pallets to be transported. According to the invention, the carrying device can also be used as a barrel or bale clamp, supporting mandrel or as a similar gripping or support device, as is usually the case with forklifts used, be trained.

Eine Positionierungseinrichtung im Sinne dieser Erfindung wird, bezogen auf die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung am Fahrzeug, eine deutlich grössere Längenausdehung (in Richtung der Fahrzeuglängsachse) als Höhe besitzen. Vorzugsweise wird das Verhältnis Länge:Höhe 3:1 bis 7:1 betragen.A positioning device in the sense of this invention is, based on the arrangement according to the invention on the vehicle, a significantly larger length extension (in the direction of the Vehicle longitudinal axis) as height. Preferably that is Ratio length: height 3: 1 to 7: 1.
