Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for securing a container on an underlying container in a stack of containers or on a means of transport (trucks, railway wagons, ships, etc.).
  • Standardized containers namely ISO containers and sea-land containers, have corner fittings at their eight corners, which are hollow on the inside and, at the upper corners, have elongated holes at the top for inserting and fixing bolts on lifting elements or on coupling pieces (twistlocks) are.
  • the corner fittings at the lower corners of the container have slots at the bottom into which twistlocks can be inserted and locked in order to connect the container standing on another container or to secure it on a means of transport.
  • the corner fittings have further holes beyond the elongated holes mentioned, to the side and to the end faces of the container.
  • Containers are usually loaded using lifting devices (e.g. on permanently installed or mobile cranes).
  • lifting elements e.g. on permanently installed or mobile cranes.
  • the lifting elements with latches at their lower ends reach into the elongated holes in the upper corner fittings of the container and are inserted through them Twisting set.
  • the container is lifted by means of the lifting elements and moved to the desired new position, after which the bolts of the lifting elements in the upper corner fittings are turned back into their starting position, ie into their open position, and the lifting elements are then lifted off.
  • a loading harness which can be coupled to the usual lifting elements of a crane or crane truck and which is designed to intervene in the corner fittings of an open-topped container from which the load protrudes in order to accommodate the container enable.
  • the loading harness is provided at the bottom with corresponding rotatable bolts which engage in the elongated holes in the corner fittings in the same way as described above.
  • the lifting elements reach into the upper elongated holes on the loading gear.
  • the loading gear there is a linkage transmission between the upper corner fittings and the rotatable bolts below, via which the rotary movement of the lifting elements is transmitted from the upper corner fittings of the loading gear to the rotating bolts, so that the bolts of the loading gear in the same way by the usual rotation the latch on the lifting elements can be turned to fix them in the corner fittings of the container or to release them again.
  • the rotational movement of the latches of the lifting members is transmitted to securing latches rotatably mounted in the lower corner fittings of the container.
  • the locking bolts are arranged in such a way that when the container is set down they engage in the elongated holes in the upper corner fittings of a container underneath or in the elongated holes on a means of transport as a support for the container and can be locked by twisting them.
  • the transmission of the rotary movement of the latches of the lifting elements to the securing bolts is designed in the opposite manner in such a way that when the bolts of the lifting elements are rotated from the open to the fixed position in the upper corner fittings, the securing bolts from the locked to the open position in the elongated holes the support are rotated, and vice versa that when the latch is rotated from the set to the open position, the safety latches are rotated from the open to the locked position in the slots of the support.
  • the bolts on the lifting elements are turned back by turning them back so that they can be pulled out again from the corner fittings, automatically by the lower locking bolts on the container below or on the Means of transport fixed by twisting the locking bolts behind the elongated holes in the corner fittings of the container below or the means of transport.
  • the container is automatically secured without further work steps by setting it down and then removing the lifting elements. This securing is automatically released again when the container is gripped again with lifting elements in the upper corner fittings to reposition the container.
  • the invention thus eliminates the need for workers to walk on the containers and perform operations there. to secure or release them. This significantly reduces the risk of accidents. At the same time, the handling process is also accelerated and simplified overall, so that cost savings are possible.
  • the latches on the lifting members are preferably designed to be extended downwards and engage in rotationally fixed manner from above in complementary counterparts of the transmission in order to create a rotary connection.
  • the engagement of the extended bolts with the counterparts ensures that when using conventional bolts on lifting elements there is no transmission of the rotary movement, so that the bolts and locking bolts remain in their position or can be moved manually, so that compatibility with conventional systems is also maintained.
  • the connection between the container and the substructure e.g. additional containers becomes more stable due to the transmission of the rotating movement of the bolt, which is triggered mechanically by the lifting elements.
  • a container for carrying out the method according to the invention is preferably designed such that the locking bolts in the lower corner fittings are displaceably mounted in the vertical direction and are subjected to a pretension which prestresses the locking bolts in a position projecting downward from the lower corner fittings.
  • the preloaded position of the locking bolts should be such that the locking bolt, when the lower corner fitting is placed on an upper rear fitting of an underlying container or a means of transport, can reach behind the slot into which it protrudes by twisting. In this way it is ensured that, if the container is placed in the correct position on an underlying container or a means of transport with corresponding elongated holes, the securing bolts at the bottom of the container can be fixed simply by twisting in the elongated holes.
  • the vertically movable mounting of the locking latch should allow the Locking bolt can be moved against the pretension to a position retracted within the lower corner fitting.
  • This mobility of the security bolt is advantageous so that the container remains compatible with conventional security methods using twistlocks. If the container is placed on pre-positioned twistlocks, these slide the locking bolts into the lower corner fittings of the container so that the container can also be secured in a conventional manner. It is also possible to place the container on a flat surface (such as a street), the locking bolts then being pushed into the lower corner fittings by the weight of the container so that they are flush with the undersides of the lower corner fittings on the street lie on.
  • the transmission of the rotary movement of the latches of the lifting elements to the lower securing latches can be designed as a form-fitting mechanical transmission. However, other transmissions such as pneumatic, electrical, etc. can also be used.
  • the transmission can be formed, for example, by a linkage which directly, i.e. transmits without translation. This can be done, for example, in that between the upper and the associated lower corner fitting, parallel to the corner edge of the container, a linkage of two telescoping rods runs, the locking bar should be attached to a telescopically displaceable rod.
  • a linkage which directly, i.e. transmits without translation.
  • Each transmission can be arranged in a housing running vertically along the corner edge of the container between an upper and a lower corner fitting, this Housing should be attached to the inside of the container walls, so that no structures protrude beyond the standard dimensions.
  • Such housings running over the corner edges of the container have the additional advantage that they provide for a further reinforcement of the container structure, which is particularly advantageous in view of a higher load capacity of the container in high container stacks.
  • Figure 1 shows a side plan view of a corner edge of a container, the housing of the transmission being shown in section;
  • Figure 2 shows a sectional view of the housing of the transmission from the front
  • Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a linkage for transmission
  • Figure 4 sectional views of the lower corner fitting, the locking bolt arranged therein is shown in different vertical positions;
  • Figure 5 shows sectional views of an upper corner fitting with engaging bolts of lifting elements in different positions.
  • the container has a corner fitting 6 at the top corner and a corner fitting 6 'at the bottom, which acts as a hollow body are formed, the former having an elongated hole 6a at the top and the latter having an elongated hole on the underside.
  • the openings on the sides of the corner fittings 6, 6 ' can be used to have access to the inside with tools if parts have become jammed.
  • the transmission 20 is shown in FIG. 3.
  • a counterpart 5 at the top which has essentially the shape of a U-shaped channel and which is rotatably arranged in the upper corner fitting 6.
  • Firmly connected to the counterpart 5 is an upper rod, which carries an inner square 4 at its lower end.
  • the upper rod of the transmission is held in place by resting the counterpart 5 on the bottom of the corner fitting 6, by guiding the upper rod through a hole in the bottom of the upper corner fitting 6 and by passing the upper rod through a fixing plate 8 mounted in the housing 12 .
  • a complementarily shaped square 3 is slidably received, from which a lower rod extends.
  • the lower rod runs through a bore in a securing bolt 1 and carries the securing bolt 2 at its lower end.
  • the interlocking parts of the inner square 4 and the square 3 produce a rotationally fixed connection between the counterpart 5 and the securing bolt 2, the telescopic one Interlocking of square 3 and inner square 4 allows vertical movement of the lower rod and thus the locking bolt 2.
  • the securing bolt 1 projects through the lower corner fitting, an end stop lug la, which comes to rest on the upper side of the lower corner fitting 6 ', limits the mobility of the lower rod downwards, so that the securing bolt 1 and the securing bolt 2 at most up to the position shown in Figure 2 from the lower corner fitting 6 'can protrude.
  • an effective prestressing between the upper and lower rods ensures that the lower rod and the securing bolt 2 are prestressed into the position shown in FIG. 2.
  • This prestress can be generated, for example, by a spring 4a arranged in the cavity of the inner square and acting between the inner square 4 and the square 3.
  • the vertically movable mounting of the locking bar 2 is preferred so that the locking bar can assume a suitable position depending on the type of base, as shown in FIGS.
  • the securing bolt 1 and the securing bolt 2 extend from the lower corner fitting 6 'of the container into the upper corner fitting 6 of an underlying container and can be fixed there by twisting.
  • the locking bolt is slightly inserted and the locking bolt 2 is flush with the underside of the corner fitting 6 'on a flat surface.
  • the locking pin 1 is pressed into the lower corner fitting, namely by a twist lock 13, which connects the two corner fittings 6 ', 6 to each other in a conventional manner.
  • FIG. 5 shows an upper corner fitting 6 with a lifting element 15 reaching into it in different positions, a lifting element 15 with a bar 14 'previously used being shown on the left in the superimposed representations.
  • the lifting member 15 carries at its lower end a bolt 14 'which does not protrude so far into the corner fitting 6 that it could reach into the counterpart 5. Therefore, the container described remains compatible with conventional systems and can also be accommodated by them without causing the locking bolt 2 to twist.
  • an extended latch 14 provided for the present method is attached to the lifting element 15.
  • This bolt 14 is slightly wedge-shaped in cross section and projects from above into the U-shaped groove of the counterpart 5.
  • the locking bolts 2 have vertical dimensions so that they do not protrude so far into a corner fitting 6 to reach into a counterpart 5. Rather, the counterpart 5 remains unaffected when a locking bolt 2 engages in the associated corner fitting 6.
  • the "opening" and “closing" of the bolt 14 of the lifting element in the upper corner fitting 6 runs in the opposite or opposite direction to the opening or closing of the securing bolt 2 in the corner fitting of the container below, ie if the container is to be moved and the bolt 14 in the upper corner fitting 6 is inserted and fixed therein by twisting, this twisting causes the movement of the locking bar 2 from its fixed position in the corner fitting below into the open position, so that the locking bar 2 can move out of the corner fitting below when the container is on the set bars 14 is raised hanging.
  • the bolt 14 must be moved after settling back into the released position in the upper corner fitting 6 so that the lifting member can be pulled off, this turning back of the bolt 14 into the open position rotate the locking bolt 2 in the closed or fixed position, so that automatically with the release of the bolt of the lifting organs the container is secured in the new place.
  • the upper rod engages in the positions of the correspondingly opened and closed bolt in the area of the sheet 8.
  • the housing 12 of the transmission 20 is provided with an opening from which a lever 10 attached to the lower rod protrudes, which is intended to enable the rod to be rotated mechanically if it has jammed or frozen due to ice formation is.
  • the lateral opening provided in the lower corner fitting 6 makes it possible to attach the securing bolt 1 with a tool and, if it is jammed or frozen, to loosen it.
  • the securing bolt 1 as can be seen in FIGS. 4 A, 4 B and 4 C, is provided with cutouts which simplify the attachment of a tool.
  • the recesses in the securing bolt 1 also create space for lashing rods when these are used to secure container stacks between the corner fittings of containers.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de fixer un conteneur sur un conteneur situé en dessous ou sur un élément de transport, à l'aide d'un appareil élévateur qui, pour soulever le conteneur, entre par le biais d'organes élévateurs munis de loquets (14), par en haut, dans les trous oblongs (6a) dans les garnitures d'équerre supérieures (6) et les libère à nouveau par rotation, puis rotation inverse des loquets (14) montés dedans. Le mouvement de rotation des loquets (14) des organes élévateurs est tranféré sur des loquets de fixation (2) montés rotatifs dans les garnitures d'équerre inférieures (6'). Lorsque le conteneur est déposé, les garnitures d'équerre inférieures entrent dans les trous oblongs des garnitures d'équerre d'un conteneur situé en dessous ou sur un élément de transport. Le transfert (20) du mouvement de rotation des loquets (14) sur les loquets de fixation (2) est conçu en sens contraire, de manière que lors de la rotation des loquets (14) dans les garnitures d'équerre supérieures (6) passant de la position ouverte à la position déterminée, les loquets de fixation (2) tournent pour passer de la position bloquée à la position ouverte dans les trous oblongs du support.
