Description

Spreaderspreader
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spreader zum Ergreifen eines Norm-Containers in Verbindung mit einer Kranvorrichtung, an die der Spreader über ein Kettengehänge anhängbar ist, mit Halteelementen, die in Aufnahmen des Norm-Containers eingreifen können und mittels eines horizontal verlaufenden Steuergestänges verriegelbar sind.The invention relates to a spreader for gripping a standard container in connection with a crane device to which the spreader can be attached via a chain suspension, with holding elements which can engage in receptacles of the standard container and can be locked by means of a horizontally extending control linkage.
Derartige Spreader sind in zahlreichen Ausführungsformen bekannt. Da mit ihnen Norm-Container ergriffen und angehoben werden, können derartige Spreader mit einer auf die Länge des Norm-Containers abgestimmten festen Spannweite gebaut werden. Es ist ferner bekannt, Spreader so einzurichten, dass mit ihnen zwei Norm- Container (in Längsrichtung hintereinander gestellt) gleichzeitig ergriffen werden können.Such spreaders are known in numerous embodiments. Since standard containers are gripped and lifted with them, such spreaders can be built with a fixed span that is matched to the length of the standard container. It is also known to set up spreader so that two standard containers (placed one behind the other in the longitudinal direction) can be gripped with them at the same time.
Bekannt ist ferner, derartige Spreader mit einem Teleskopgestänge auszubilden, um Anpassungen an Längentoleranzen vornehmen zu können.It is also known to design such spreaders with a telescopic rod in order to be able to make adjustments to length tolerances.
Das Ergreifen der Container erfolgt üblicherweise mit Halteelementen, die als Twistlock-Bolzen ausgebildet sind und vom Spreader aus nach unten ragen. Sie greifen in nach oben offene Ausnehmungen des Norm-Containers ein und können im eingegriffenen Zustand durch Drehung um 90° um ihre Längsachse verriegelt werden, wodurch Vorsprünge des Twistlock-Bolzens eine Einführöffnung der Ausnehmung des Containers hintergreifen.The containers are usually gripped with holding elements which are designed as twistlock bolts and project downwards from the spreader. They engage in recesses of the standard container that are open at the top and can be locked in the engaged state by rotating through 90 ° about their longitudinal axis, as a result of which projections of the twistlock bolt engage behind an insertion opening of the recess of the container.
Die Steuerung der Verriegelung der Halteelemente erfolgt über eine Steuerkette eines Kettengehänges, mit dem der Spreader mit einem Kran verbunden ist. Für die Ausbildung der Verbindung der Steuerkette mit dem Steuergestänge ist ein nicht unerheblicher Platzbedarf erforderlich, der bei Spreadern, die in stationären Krananlagen verwendet werden, ohne Probleme zur Verfügung steht.The locking of the holding elements is controlled via a control chain of a chain sling with which the spreader is connected to a crane. For the formation of the connection of the timing chain with the control linkage is not Insignificant space requirement is required, which is readily available for spreaders that are used in stationary crane systems.
In entsprechender Weise sind auch Spreader aufgebaut worden, die in Verbindung mit mobilen Krananlagen, beispielsweise Autokränen, verwendet werden. Dabei ist es üblich, den Spreader mit einem entsprechenden Transportfahrzeug gesondert zum nächsten Einsatzort zu transportieren und dort den entsprechenden Kran aufzubauen und den Spreader mit dem Kran zu verbinden. Zusätzlich zu dem Kran und dem Spreader müssen ferner Zubehörteile für den Kraneinsatz, beispielsweise zusätzliche Ballastgewichte, Ersatzteile und Werkzeug, einzeln oder in Kleingebinden verpackt an den neuen Einsatzort gebracht werden. Es entsteht somit ein nicht unerheblicher Transportaufwand.In a corresponding manner, spreaders have also been built up, which are used in connection with mobile crane systems, for example mobile cranes. It is customary to transport the spreader separately to the next place of use with a corresponding transport vehicle and to set up the corresponding crane there and to connect the spreader to the crane. In addition to the crane and spreader, accessories for crane use, such as additional ballast weights, spare parts and tools, must be brought to the new location individually or in small containers. This results in a not inconsiderable amount of transportation.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Spreader so auszubilden, dass er mit geringem Raumbedarf aufgebaut und in vorteilhafter Weise transportiert werden kann.The present invention is based on the object of designing a spreader in such a way that it can be built up in a small space and can be transported in an advantageous manner.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß ein Spreader der eingangs erwähnten Art dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass mit dem Steuergestänge ein Schaltsegment verbunden ist, das eine kurvenförmige Ausnehmung zur Einstellung zweier Schaltstellungen aufweist und das in einer Betriebsstellung in eine vertikale Position aufrichtbar und in einer Transportstellung in eine horizontale Position abklappbar ist.To achieve this object, a spreader of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that a switching segment is connected to the control linkage, which has a curved recess for setting two switching positions and which can be erected into a vertical position in an operating position and into a horizontal position in a transport position Position can be folded down.
Der erfindungsgemäße Spreader weist somit ein Schaltsegment auf, das zur Steuerung des Schaltgestänges für die Halteelemente geeignet ist und daher mit diesem Schaltgestänge verbunden ist. Die Verbindung erfolgt jedoch über ein Drehgelenk, das vorzugsweise quer zum Schaltgestänge liegt und ein Abklappen des Schaltsegments aus einer aufrechten Betriebsstellung in eine horizontale Transportstellung ermöglicht. In dieser abgeklappten horizontalen Transportstellung benötigt der Spreader ersichtlich durch das Schaltsegment keine zusätzliche Aufbauhöhe, die wesentlich über die Höhe des Spreaderrahmens hinausgeht. Der Transport des erfindungsgemäßen Spreaders erfolgt vorzugsweise mit einem Transportcontainer, auf dem der Spreader aufgesetzt und mit seinen Halteelementen in verriegelter Form verbunden ist. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Transportcontainer die Grundfläche eines Norm-Containers aufweist.The spreader according to the invention thus has a shift segment which is suitable for controlling the shift linkage for the holding elements and is therefore connected to this shift linkage. However, the connection is made via a swivel joint, which is preferably transverse to the shift linkage and enables the shifting segment to be folded down from an upright operating position into a horizontal transport position. In this folded-down horizontal transport position, the spreader evidently does not require any additional installation height due to the switching segment, which significantly exceeds the height of the spreader frame. The spreader according to the invention is preferably transported using a transport container on which the spreader is placed and connected to its holding elements in a locked form. It is expedient if the transport container has the base area of a standard container.
Ein Spreader ist üblicherweise mit flachen Seiteneinweisern versehen, mit denen der Spreader zur Anlage an wenigstens einer Längsseite und einer Querseite des anzuhebenden Containers gebracht wird, um den Spreader so relativ zum Container zu zentrieren. Demgemäß müssen diese Seiteneinweiser in einer Betriebsstellung über die Grundfläche eines Norm-Containers hinausragen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Seiteneinweiser in einer Betriebsstellung mit dem Spreader über zwischengeschaltete Distanzstücke so verbunden, dass sie über die Grundfläche eines Norm-Containers seitlich hinausragen und in einer Transportstellung ohne Distanzstücke so zum Spreader verschoben, dass sie innerhalb der Grundfläche eines Norm-Containers angeordnet sind. Ergänzend können dabei die Seiteneinweiser in der Betriebsstellung nach unten ragend angeordnet und in der Transportstellung um 90° in eine horizontale Position drehbar sein.A spreader is usually provided with flat side guides with which the spreader is brought into contact with at least one long side and one transverse side of the container to be lifted, in order to center the spreader relative to the container. Accordingly, these side guides have to protrude beyond the base of a standard container in an operating position. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the side guides in an operating position are connected to the spreader via intermediate spacers in such a way that they protrude laterally beyond the base of a standard container and in a transport position without spacers are moved to the spreader so that they are within the base of a standard -Containers are arranged. In addition, the side guides can be arranged so that they project downwards in the operating position and can be rotated by 90 ° into a horizontal position in the transport position.
Ein bevorzugtes Anwendungsgebiet des erfindungsgemäßen Spreaders liegt in seiner Verwendbarkeit für die Bildung einer Transporteinheit mit einem speziellen Transportcontainer derart, dass die Transporteinheit wie ein Norm-Container transportiert werden kann. In dem Container können unterhalb des Spreaders benötigte Zubehörteile, insbesondere für den Kran, transportiert werden, sodass kein gesonderter Transport des Spreaders erforderlich ist. Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels und den beigefügten Zeichnungen detaillierter beschrieben. Die Zeichnungen zeigen inA preferred application of the spreader according to the invention is its usability for the formation of a transport unit with a special transport container in such a way that the transport unit can be transported like a standard container. The necessary accessories, especially for the crane, can be transported in the container below the spreader, so that no separate transport of the spreader is required. The invention is described in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment and the accompanying drawings. The drawings show in

In Figur 1 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Transporteinheit 1 in perspektivischer Ansicht dargestellt. Die Transporteinheit 1 ist mit einer Plane 2 abgedeckt, sodass nur der untere Bereich des Containers 3 zu erkennen ist. Die Plane 2 wird mit elastischen Zugbändern 4 an dem Container 3 befestigt. Durch die unter Spannung stehenden Zugbänder 4 ist die Plane 2 auch bei einem Transport mit einem Lkw und den dabei auftretenden Fahrtwind ausreichend fixiert und gesichert. Obwohl in dieser Figur nicht dargestellt, kann es sinnvoll sein, die Plane 2 auch an der Containerlängsseite mit dem Container 3 mittels Zugbänder zu verbinden.A transport unit 1 according to the invention is shown in perspective view in FIG. The transport unit 1 is covered with a tarpaulin 2, so that only the lower area of the container 3 can be seen. The tarpaulin 2 is fastened to the container 3 with elastic drawstrings 4. The tensioning straps 4, which are under tension, ensure that the tarpaulin 2 is adequately fixed and secured even when it is being transported by truck and the travel wind that occurs. Although in this figure not shown, it may be useful to connect the tarpaulin 2 to the container 3 on the long side of the container by means of drawstrings.
An den Stirnseiten des Containers können herausziehbare Arbeitsbühnen 5 integriert sein. Wird die Transporteinheit auf einem üblichen Lastkraftwagen transportiert, ist es sinnvoll, zumindest an der hinteren Stirnseite eine derartige Arbeitsbühne 5 vorzusehen. Nachdem die Arbeitsbühne 5 herausgezogen ist, kann eine Bedienperson darauf stehend die Zugbänder 4 lösen und die Plane 2 einrollen.Pull-out work platforms 5 can be integrated on the end faces of the container. If the transport unit is transported on a conventional truck, it makes sense to provide such a work platform 5 at least on the rear end. After the work platform 5 is pulled out, an operator standing on it can loosen the drawstrings 4 and roll up the tarpaulin 2.
In der Figur 2 wird die Transporteinheit 1 in der gleichen Perspektive wie in Figur 1 dargestellt. In der Figur 2 ist jedoch die Plane 2 von der in der Zeichnungsebene hinten liegenden Längsseite des Containers 3 zu der dem Betrachter zugewandten Seite hin eingerollt. Die an den oberen Längskanten des Containers angeordneten seitlichen Längsstangen 6 sind in dem hier vorgestellten Ausführungsbeispiel mit der Plane 2 verbunden und werden mit ihr zusammen eingerollt. Eine mittlere Längsstange 7 ist mit an den Stirnseiten angeordneten Giebelstangen 8 verbunden. In etwa der Mitte der Containerlänge befindet sich ein zusätzlicher Mittelgiebel 9.In Figure 2, the transport unit 1 is shown in the same perspective as in Figure 1. In FIG. 2, however, the tarpaulin 2 is rolled up from the long side of the container 3 lying at the rear in the plane of the drawing to the side facing the viewer. The longitudinal longitudinal bars 6 arranged on the upper longitudinal edges of the container are connected to the tarpaulin 2 in the exemplary embodiment presented here and are rolled up together with it. A central longitudinal rod 7 is connected to gable rods 8 arranged on the end faces. An additional central gable 9 is located approximately in the middle of the container length.
Die Plane 2 kann wahlweise zur rechten bzw. zur linken Seite des Containers 3 hin abgeplant werden. Hierzu werden zuerst die Zugbänder 4 an der zu öffnenden Seite und an dem Giebelbereich gelöst. Dann werden die an den Stirnseiten hängenden Teilbereiche der Plane 2 auf die Oberseite eingeklappt. Anschließend wird auf der zu öffnenden Seite in die seitliche Längsstange 6 eine Handkurbel 10 eingesteckt. Die Handkurbel 10 kann an der Transporteinheit 1 im Innenraum während des Transportes befestigt sein. Eine einfachere Handhabung kann gewährleistet werden, wenn an beiden Enden der seitlichen Längsstange 6 jeweils eine Handkurbel 10 eingesteckt wird und zwei Personen die Handkurbeln bedienen, um einen Schräglauf zu vermeiden. Die seitliche Längsstange 6 wird nun mittels der Handkurbeln 10 in Richtung der mittleren Längsstange 7 gedreht und dabei wird die Plane 2 auf der Längsstange 6 eingerollt. Die Seitenwand der Plane 2 und das Dach werden gleichzeitig eingewickelt. Auf diese Weise kann die Plane 2 bis zur anderen Seite eingerollt werden und gibt dabei eine Seite und die Oberseite der Transporteinheit 1 frei. Anschließend werden Auflageschalen aus einer Transportposition entnommen, die beispielsweise an den Querträgern eines Spreaders vorgesehen sein kann, und in ein Planengestell-Seitenrohr (nicht dargestellt) eingesteckt. Auf die Auflageschalen wird die eingerollte Plane 2 aufgelegt.The tarpaulin 2 can optionally be scheduled towards the right or left side of the container 3. For this purpose, the drawstrings 4 are first released on the side to be opened and on the gable area. Then the partial areas of the tarpaulin 2 hanging on the end faces are folded onto the upper side. Then a hand crank 10 is inserted into the side longitudinal rod 6 on the side to be opened. The hand crank 10 can be fastened to the transport unit 1 in the interior during transport. Easier handling can be ensured if a hand crank 10 is inserted at both ends of the lateral longitudinal rod 6 and two people operate the hand crank to avoid skewing. The lateral longitudinal rod 6 is now turned by means of the hand cranks 10 in the direction of the central longitudinal rod 7 and the tarpaulin 2 is rolled onto the longitudinal rod 6. The side wall of tarpaulin 2 and the roof are wrapped at the same time. In this way, the tarpaulin 2 can be rolled up to the other side and thereby releases one side and the top of the transport unit 1. Support trays are then removed from a transport position, which can be provided, for example, on the cross members of a spreader, and inserted into a tarpaulin frame side tube (not shown). The rolled tarpaulin 2 is placed on the support trays.
In Figur 3 ist der Container 3 vollständig freigegeben dargestellt. Im Vergleich zur in Figur 2 dargestellten Situation sind nun die mittlere Längsstange 7, die Giebelstangen 8 und der Mittelgiebel 9 (alle aus Figur 2) abgenommen. Eine einfachere Bedienung wird erreicht, wenn die mittlere Längsstange 7 aus zwei Teilstangen besteht. An den vier Eckpfosten 12 des Containers 3 befinden sich Abschwenkhebel 13. An dem freien Ende der Abschwenkhebel 13 sind die Seitenrohre 14 angeordnet, in die die Auflageschalen 11 eingesteckt werden. Es ist anzumerken, dass in der gezeigten Darstellung auf der Seite des Containers, an dem sich die Planenrolle 2 befindet, die Abschwenkhebel 13 und Seitenrohre 14 nicht gezeigt sind. Diese sind jedoch an der vollständig geöffneten Seite des Containers 3 deutlich der Figur zu entnehmen.In Figure 3, the container 3 is shown fully released. In comparison to the situation shown in FIG. 2, the central longitudinal rod 7, the gable rods 8 and the central gable 9 (all from FIG. 2) have now been removed. Easier operation is achieved if the central longitudinal bar 7 consists of two partial bars. There are pivoting levers 13 on the four corner posts 12 of the container 3. At the free end of the pivoting levers 13, the side tubes 14 are arranged, into which the support shells 11 are inserted. It should be noted that in the illustration shown, on the side of the container on which the tarpaulin roller 2 is located, the pivoting levers 13 and side tubes 14 are not shown. However, these are clearly shown in the figure on the fully open side of the container 3.
Nachdem die Plane 2 vollständig zu einer Seite hin eingerollt ist und die Giebel 8, 9 und die mittlere Längsstange 7 entfernt sind, kann die Plane 2 mit den Abschwenkhebeln 13 aus der Containerkontur herausgeschwenkt werden. Hierzu sind zunächst die an den Stirnseiten noch befestigten Zugbänder zu lösen und die Abschwenkhebel 13 zu entsichern. Nachdem die Plane 2 herausgeschwenkt wurde, ist der Container 3 vollständig freigegeben.After the tarpaulin 2 has been rolled up completely to one side and the gables 8, 9 and the central longitudinal rod 7 have been removed, the tarpaulin 2 can be pivoted out of the container contour with the pivoting levers 13. For this purpose, the drawstrings still attached to the end faces must first be loosened and the pivoting levers 13 unlocked. After the tarpaulin 2 has been swung out, the container 3 is completely released.
Figur 4 zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Transporteinheit 1 in einem für den Transport vorgesehenen Zustand, der Übersichtlichkeit halber wird jedoch die Plane weggelassen und nicht gezeigt. Die Darstellung zeigt den Container 3 mit einem darauf befindlichen Spreader 15. Die Arbeitsbühne 5 ist in der Darstellung herausgezogen. An dem Container 3 ist ferner ein Planengestell umfassend die Längsstange 6 und die mittlere Längsstange 7 angeordnet. Zur Abstützung der Längsstangen ist ungefähr in der Mitte der Länge des Containers 3 der Mittelgiebel 9 befestigt.FIG. 4 shows a side view of a transport unit 1 according to the invention in a state intended for transport, but for the sake of clarity the tarpaulin is omitted and is not shown. The illustration shows the container 3 with a spreader 15 located thereon. The working platform 5 is pulled out in the illustration. A container frame comprising the longitudinal rod 6 and the central longitudinal rod 7 is also arranged on the container 3. To support the longitudinal rods, the central gable 9 is fastened approximately in the middle of the length of the container 3.
Der Spreader 15 liegt auf dem Container 3 bzw. auf den vier Eckpfosten 12 des Containers 3 auf. Dabei können Halte-Elemente (nicht dargestellt) des Spreaders 15, beispielsweise Twistlock-Bolzen, in entsprechende Aufnahmen in den Eckpfosten 12 eingreifen. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass zum einen der Spreader 15 mit dem Container 3 für den Transport fest verbunden ist, und zum anderen sind die Twistlock-Bolzen so vor Beschädigungen während des Transportes geschützt.The spreader 15 lies on the container 3 or on the four corner posts 12 of the container 3. Holding elements (not shown) of the spreader 15, for example twistlock bolts, can be inserted into corresponding receptacles in the corner posts 12 intervention. This ensures that, on the one hand, the spreader 15 is firmly connected to the container 3 for transport, and on the other hand, the twistlock bolts are thus protected from damage during transport.
An dem Container 3 sind Befestigungsvorrichtungen 17 zur Befestigung von zusätzlichen Ballastgewichten 18 für einen mobilen Kran vorgesehen. Die zusätzlichen Ballastgewichte 18 sind ungefähr in der Mitte des Containers 3 angeordnet, um auch bei einem vollbeladenen Container eine in etwa ausgeglichene Gewichtsverteilung zu erhalten. Unterhalb der Ballastgewichte befinden sich Gabelstaplertaschen 19, sodass auch ein Gabelstapler den Container von einem Transport-Lastkraftwagen entladen kann. Die Konstruktion der Gabelstaplertaschen 19 ist derart ausgebildet, dass sie gleichzeitig als tragendes Element der Auflagelager 20 für das Ballastgewicht 18 dient. Die Gabelstaplertaschen 19 haben in etwa U-förmigen Querschnitt. Ferner ist der mittlere Bereich in eine Ebene oberhalb eines Containerbodens 16 angehoben und dient als Auflage für die Ballastgewichte 18. Durch die selbsttragende Konstruktion ist der Container leichter herzustellen.Fastening devices 17 for fastening additional ballast weights 18 for a mobile crane are provided on the container 3. The additional ballast weights 18 are arranged approximately in the middle of the container 3 in order to obtain an approximately balanced weight distribution even in the case of a fully loaded container. Forklift pockets 19 are located below the ballast weights, so that a forklift can also unload the container from a transport truck. The construction of the forklift pockets 19 is designed such that it also serves as a supporting element of the support bearings 20 for the ballast weight 18. The forklift pockets 19 have an approximately U-shaped cross section. Furthermore, the middle area is raised to a level above a container floor 16 and serves as a support for the ballast weights 18. The self-supporting construction makes the container easier to manufacture.
In dieser Darstellung seitlich neben dem Ballastgewicht 18 können weitere Krankomponenten an dem Container befestigt werden. So ist eine Befestigungsvorrichtung 21 für ein Reserverad (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen. Auf der anderen Seite der Ballastgewichte 18 befinden sich Befestigungsvorrichtungen (22) für Hakenflaschen (nicht dargestellt). Zusätzlich können Boxen 23, beispielsweise für Kettengehänge, Ersatzteile oder Werkzeug, vorgesehen sein. Der Container 3 ist mit einem stabilen Boden 16 begehbar ausgebildet. An dem Boden 16 können die weiteren, verschiedenartigen Befestigungsvorrichtungen angeordnet sein, um die zusätzlichen Komponenten für das Kransystem zu fixieren.In this illustration, further crane components can be attached to the container to the side of the ballast weight 18. A fastening device 21 for a spare wheel (not shown) is thus provided. On the other side of the ballast weights 18 there are fastening devices (22) for hook blocks (not shown). In addition, boxes 23 can be provided, for example for chain slings, spare parts or tools. The container 3 is designed to be walkable with a stable floor 16. The further, different fastening devices can be arranged on the floor 16 in order to fix the additional components for the crane system.
Bei den zusätzlichen Krankomponenten ist allerdings darauf zu achten, dass die Transporteinheit mit der kompletten Zuladung das zulässige Gesamtgewicht für einen Container nicht überschreitet, damit es auf einem üblichen Lastkraftwagen oder ein geländegängiges Transportfahrzeug transportiert werden kann. Ferner ist es sinnvoll, die Komponentenanordnung innerhalb des Containers 3 derart auszurichten, dass die zulässigen Bereiche für Achslasten beim Transport mit einem Lastkraftwagen eingehalten werden.With the additional crane components, however, it must be ensured that the transport unit with the complete load does not exceed the permissible total weight for a container, so that it can be transported on a normal truck or an off-road transport vehicle. Furthermore, it makes sense to arrange the components within the container 3 in this way to ensure that the permissible ranges for axle loads are observed when transported by truck.
In der Figur 5a ist eine Vorderansicht des Spreaders 15 dargestellt. Deutlich zu sehen ist ein Querträger 24 an dessen äußeren Enden an der Unterseite Twist-Iock- Bolzen 25 angeordnet sind. Ebenfalls zu erkennen sind Befestigungsösen 26 an denen mittels Schäkel ein Kettengehänge (nicht dargestellt) befestigt werden kann. In der Mitte des Spreaders 15 befindet sich ein etwa dreieckförmiges Schaltsegment 27 mit einer kurvenförmigen Ausnehmung 28, die etwa die Form eines Viertelkreises aufweist und an den Enden mit im Wesentlichen nach oben gerichteten Verriegelungstaschen 28' versehen ist.A front view of the spreader 15 is shown in FIG. 5a. A cross member 24 is clearly visible at the outer ends of which twist-iock bolts 25 are arranged on the underside. Fastening eyes 26 can also be seen, to which a chain hanger (not shown) can be attached by means of shackles. In the middle of the spreader 15 there is an approximately triangular switching segment 27 with a curved recess 28, which has approximately the shape of a quarter circle and is provided at the ends with locking pockets 28 ′ which are directed essentially upwards.
Die Schaltgabel 29 wird über eine Zugfeder 30 und eine Schaltkette 31 mit dem Kettengehänge verbunden.The shift fork 29 is connected to the chain suspension via a tension spring 30 and a shift chain 31.
Das Schaltsegment 27 steht aufrecht auf dem Spreader 15. Zur Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Twistlock-Bolzen 25 wird das Schaltsegment 27 jeweils um ca. 90° gedreht. Der Drehpunkt befindet sich an der Dreiecksspitze des Schaltsegmentes 27, an dem die beiden Katheten anliegen. Durch Drehung des Schaltsegmentes 27 wird ein Schaltgestänge 32 angetrieben. Die Schaltbewegung wird von dem Kettengehänge ausgelöst. Durch die mittels der Zugfeder 30 gesicherten Schaltkette 31 wird das Schaltsegment 27 jeweils um 90° hin und her geschwenkt. Durch Herunterlassen der Schaltgabel 29 wandert diese durch die kurvenförmige Ausnehmung nach unten in den Bereich der in der Figur 5 a dargestellten unteren Verriegelungstasche 28'. Durch Wiederanheben der Schaltgabel am Drehpunkt um eine parallel zum Schaltgestänge 32 gerichtete Drehachse um 90° verschwenkt. Die Rückschwenkung des Schaltelements erfolgt dann in einer etwa spiegelsymmetrischen Position in analoger Weise. Die verriegelte Position kann dabei am Schaltsegment mit einer besonderen Farbe, beispielsweise rot, gekennzeichnet werden.The switching segment 27 stands upright on the spreader 15. To lock and unlock the twistlock bolts 25, the switching segment 27 is rotated in each case by approximately 90 °. The fulcrum is located at the triangular tip of the switching segment 27, on which the two cathets rest. A shift linkage 32 is driven by rotation of the shift segment 27. The shift movement is triggered by the chain sling. Through the switching chain 31 secured by means of the tension spring 30, the switching segment 27 is pivoted back and forth by 90 °. By lowering the shift fork 29, it moves downward through the curved recess into the area of the lower locking pocket 28 'shown in FIG. 5 a. When the shift fork is raised again at the pivot point, it is pivoted through 90 ° about an axis of rotation directed parallel to the shift linkage 32. The switching element is then pivoted back in an approximately mirror-symmetrical position in an analogous manner. The locked position can be marked on the switching segment with a special color, for example red.
In der Figur 5b wird der Spreader 15 in der Transportstellung in einer Draufsicht dargestellt. Wesentlich ist, dass das Schaltsegment 27 in Längsrichtung abgeklappt ist und somit auf dem Schaltgestänge 32 aufliegt. Die Zugfeder 30 und die Schaltkette 31 sind zu Transportzwecken bereits abmontiert. Ferner ist in dieser Darstellung ein Seiteneinweiser 33 zu erkennen, der anhand der Figuren 6 und 7 nachfolgend genauer beschrieben wird.5b shows the spreader 15 in the transport position in a plan view. It is essential that the shift segment 27 is folded down in the longitudinal direction and thus rests on the shift linkage 32. The tension spring 30 and the switching chain 31 have already been removed for transport purposes. Furthermore, in this To recognize a side guide 33, which is described in more detail below with reference to Figures 6 and 7.
Die Figuren 6 und 7 zeigen Teilansichten des Spreaders 15 aus der Figur 5 mit jeweils zwei Seiteneinweisern 33 und 34. Hierbei sind die Figuren 6a und 7a Seitenansichten und die Figuren 6b und 7b Draufsichten.FIGS. 6 and 7 show partial views of the spreader 15 from FIG. 5, each with two side guides 33 and 34. Here, FIGS. 6a and 7a are side views and FIGS. 6b and 7b are top views.
Die Figur 6 zeigt die Seiteneinweiser 33 und 34 in der Arbeitsstellung, d.h. sie sind mit einem Winkel von etwa 90° zum Spreader 15 ausgerichtet und weisen nach unten. Wie der Figur 6a zu entnehmen ist, befindet sich der Seiteneinweiser 34 außerhalb der Kontur eines ISO-normierten Containers. Zwischen dem Spreader 15 und dem Seiteneinweiser 33 und 34 sind Distanzstücke 35 mit einem Haltegriff 36 eingesetzt.Figure 6 shows the side guides 33 and 34 in the working position, i.e. they are aligned at an angle of approximately 90 ° to the spreader 15 and point downwards. As can be seen in FIG. 6a, the side guide 34 is outside the contour of an ISO-standardized container. Spacers 35 with a handle 36 are inserted between the spreader 15 and the side guide 33 and 34.
In der Figur 7a und 7b sind die Seiteneinweiser 33 und 34 in der Transportstellung, d.h. sie sind um 90° gedreht und befinden sich in der Ebene des Spreaders 15. Die Distanzstücke 35 sind nun auf der Innenseite des Spreaders 15 eingesetzt worden, wodurch die Seiteneinweiser 33 und 34 zum Spreader 15 hin verschoben worden sind, sodass sie innerhalb der Kontur eines ISO-genormten Containers liegen.In Figures 7a and 7b the side guides 33 and 34 are in the transport position, i.e. they are rotated by 90 ° and are located in the plane of the spreader 15. The spacers 35 have now been inserted on the inside of the spreader 15, as a result of which the side guides 33 and 34 have been moved towards the spreader 15, so that they are within the contour ISO-standardized containers.
Obwohl in dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Spreader 15 als fester Spreader ausgebildet dargestellt wird, ist es ebenfalls möglich, einen Teleskop-Spreader zu verwenden. Ferner können an dem Spreader 15 an allen vier Ecken Einhängeglieder angeschweißt werden. In diese Einhängeglieder können wahlweise Führungsseile eingehängt werden, um den im Kranhaken hängenden Spreader manuell zu führen. Die Führungsseile können während des Transportes in einem Kettenkasten des Containers 3 aufbewahrt werden. An den beiden Stirnseiten des Spreaders 15 bzw. an den Enden der Längsschaltwelle des Schaltgestänges 32 können Bedienhebel oder Doppelhebel zur manuellen Betätigung der Twistlock-Bolzen vorgesehen sein. In einem der Schalthebel können jeweils zwei Führungsseile eingehängt werden, mit denen die 90°-Schaltbewegung manuell durchgeführt werden kann. Although in the exemplary embodiment the spreader 15 is shown as a fixed spreader, it is also possible to use a telescopic spreader. In addition, suspension links can be welded to the spreader 15 at all four corners. Guide ropes can be hooked into these hook-in links to guide the spreader hanging in the crane hook manually. The guide ropes can be stored in a chain box of the container 3 during transport. Operating levers or double levers for manual actuation of the twistlock bolts can be provided on the two end faces of the spreader 15 or at the ends of the longitudinal shift shaft of the shift linkage 32. Two guide ropes can be hung in each of the shift levers, with which the 90 ° shifting movement can be carried out manually.
