Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Entsorgungsfahrzeug nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie einen Greifarm nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 16 und wie aus der DE 44 30 260 C2 bekannt.The invention relates to a disposal vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 and a gripping arm according to the preamble of claim 16 and as shown in DE 44 30 260 C2 known.

Bei der Entsorgung von Hausmüll, Industriemüll, Reststoffen, die eine Wertstoffsortieranlage durchlaufen haben, Schlacken oder anderen Zuschlagstoffen oder ähnlichen in Behältern bereitgestellten Materialien ist zunehmend eine automatisierte Entsorgung der diese Stoffe aufnehmenden Behälter mit möglichst minimiertem Personal- und Zeiteinsatz gewünscht.In the disposal of household waste, industrial waste, residues that have passed through a recycling plant, slags or other aggregates or similar materials provided in containers is increasingly desired automated disposal of these substances receiving containers with minimized staff and time.

Hierfür ist es bekannt, zum Anheben der Behälter eine Einrichtung mit einer sog. Kammleiste zu verwenden, die aufragende Zinken trägt, mit denen sie einen vorspringenden Bereich eines Behälters untergreifen und diesen dadurch anheben kann. Durch einen zusätzlichen Niederhalter, der oberhalb der Kammleiste und mit Vertikalabstand zu dieser beweglich angeordnet ist, kann der Behälter auch von oben gesichert werden, so daß ein Übdr-Kopf-Wenden des Behälters zu seinem Entleeren möglich ist.For this purpose it is known to use a device with a so-called. Comb strip for lifting the container, carrying the upstanding tines with which they engage under a protruding portion of a container and can lift this result. By an additional hold-down, the above the comb bar and with Vertical distance to this is arranged movable, the container can also be secured from above, so that a Übdr head turning the container to its emptying is possible.

Die DE 10 2004 008 952 A1 zeigt beispielhaft die Ausbildung einer Kammleiste, die dort nur über einen Teil der Breite einer Aufnahmceinheit erstreckt ist, so daß dort noch weiterer Raum für eine andersartige Behälteranhebungsmöglichkeit verbleibt und gleichzeitig mehrere Behälter erfaßt und entleert werden können.The DE 10 2004 008 952 A1 shows an example of the formation of a comb strip, which is there extends only over a part of the width of a receiving unit, so that there is still room for another type of container lifting possibility and at the same time several containers can be detected and emptied.

Mit einem dort gezeigten Entsorgungsfahrzeug können Behälter zum Beispiel ferngesteuert angehoben und über Kopf in dieses entleert werden. Bei Vorsehen eines beispielsweise seitlich ausgreifenden Arms können die Behälter automatisiert angehoben und entleert werden, ohne daß neben dem Fahrer weiteres Personal erforderlich wäre.With a disposal vehicle shown there can be raised containers, for example, remotely controlled and emptied into this head. By providing a laterally extending arm, for example, the containers can be automatically lifted and emptied without additional personnel being required next to the driver.

Bei Einsatz einer Kammleiste kann es jedoch dazu kommen, daß eine oder mehrere der aufragenden Zinken oder Zähne auf einen Vertikalsteg des Behälters trifft oder treffen, der innerhalb des Kragens des Behälters angeordnet ist und zu dessen Aussteifung sowie dazu dient, ein Abreißen des äußeren Kragenrandes zu verhindern. Der - beim Anheben häufig befüllte und schwere - Behälter kann in einem solchen Fall schief auf den Zähnen hängen, was die Tragsicherheit beeinträchtigt, oder es kann zu einer Beschädigung des auf dem äußeren Zinkenende stehenden Steges kommen, der sehr häufig aus Kunststoff besteht und von dem Zinkenende plastisch deformierbar ist. Die Lebensdauer der Behälter wird dadurch verringert.When using a comb strip, however, it may happen that one or more of the upstanding prongs or teeth meet or meet a vertical web of the container, which is disposed within the collar of the container and serves to stiffen it and to, a tearing of the outer collar edge prevent. In such a case, the container, which is frequently filled and heavy during lifting, can hang crookedly on the teeth, which impairs the stability of the carrier, or damage can occur to the ridge on the outer tine end, which is very often made of plastic and of which Zinkenende is plastically deformable. The life of the container is thereby reduced.

Die DE 44 30 260 C2 zeigt eine Kammleiste mit diskret nebeneinander stehenden, aufragenden Zinken. Diese sind jede für sich geteilt in einen oberen und einen unteren Teil, wobei der obere, bewegliche Teil federnd auf dem unteren, festen Teil gelagert und dadurch auch mit einer Horizontalkomponente gegenüber diesem beweglich ist. In jedem Fall ist diese horizontale, von einem rein vertikalen Niederdrücken des oberen Teils abweichende Bewegungskomponente nur während des Eintauchens der Zinken unter den Behälterrand möglich. Am Ende dieser Eintauchbewegung gelangt der obere Teil gegenüber dem unteren in eine stets gleiche Endstellung, die durch die Verjüngung des Bewegungsraums nach unten hin durch die aufeinander zulaufenden Anlageflächen zwangsweise vorgegeben ist und deren Lage einer rein vertikalen Absenkbewegung des oberen Teils entspricht. Das bedeutet aber, daß eine derartige Tragzinke zum Beispiel einem nach unten in den Eingriffskragen des Behälters ragenden Versteifungssteg nicht seitlich ausweichen kann, wenn der obere Teil der Zinke ganz niedergedrückt werden soll. Ein solches Niederdrücken wäre nämlich dann nicht möglich, was in dem genannten Fall zur Folge hätte, daß eine Schrägstellung des angehobenen Behälters mit einer hohen Abrutschgefahr bei gleichzeitig hoher seitlich einwirkender Kraft auf den Versteifungssteg und damit verbundener Beschädigungsgefahr für den Behältersteg und die Tragzinke, insbesondere deren Feder, resultieren würde.The DE 44 30 260 C2 shows a comb with discreetly standing side by side, towering prongs. These are each divided into an upper and a lower part, the upper, movable part being resilient stored on the lower, fixed part and thereby also with a horizontal component relative to this is movable. In any case, this horizontal, deviating from a purely vertical depression of the upper part movement component is possible only during the immersion of the tines under the container edge. At the end of this immersion movement of the upper part reaches the bottom in an always the same end position, which is forcibly predetermined by the taper of the movement space down through the converging contact surfaces and whose position corresponds to a purely vertical lowering movement of the upper part. However, this means that such a tine, for example, a laterally projecting into the engaging collar of the container stiffening web can not escape laterally when the upper part of the tine is to be completely depressed. Such a depression would then not be possible, which would result in the said case, that an inclined position of the raised container with a high risk of slipping at the same time high lateral acting force on the stiffening web and the associated risk of damage to the container web and the trestle, in particular their Spring, that would result.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, hier eine Verbesserung zu schaffen.The invention is based on the problem to provide an improvement here.

Die Erfindung löst dieses Problem durch ein Entsorgungsfahrzeug mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und einen Greifarm mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 16. Hinsichtlich vorteilhafter Ausgestaltungen wird auf die weiteren Ansprüche 2 bis 15 sowie 17 bis 21 verwiesen.The invention solves this problem by a disposal vehicle with the features of claim 1 and a gripping arm with the features of claim 16. With regard to advantageous embodiments, reference is made to the further claims 2 to 15 and 17 to 21.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Entsorgungsfahrzeug bzw. Greifarm wird es möglich, daß Zinken bei Kontakt mit einem nach unten vorstehenden Steg eines Behälters diesem ausweichen können und dadurch eine Beschädigung dieses Stegs vermeidbar ist sowie die Tragsicherheit durch die dann ungestört in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Stegen eingreifenden Zinken verbessert ist. Gerade das Problem eines Auftreffens von abwärts weisenden Stegen oder Wandungsbereichen des Kragens auf Tragzinken ist durch die Erfindung dadurch, daß die Tragzinken einem solchen Steg- oder Wandungsbereich dauerhaft in eine jeweils angepaßte Endstellung bei aufgesetztem Behälter ausweichen können und diese Ausweichstellung bei dem Anheben des so gehaltenen Behälters behalten, entscheidend entschärft. Das bedeutet, daß sich erfindungsgemäß unterschiedliche Endstellungen der einzelnen Tragzinken ergeben, sofern ein abwärts weisender Bereich des Kragens auf zumindest eine Tragzinke trifft und damit deren Ausweichen erforderlich macht. Es wird also durch die Ausweichbewegung der Tragzinke(n) nicht der Behälter verschoben, sondern die jeweilige Tragzinke(n) in die Ausweichstellung gedrückt.With the disposal vehicle according to the invention or gripping arm, it is possible that tines can avoid this in contact with a downwardly projecting web of a container and thereby damage to this web is avoidable and the support safety is improved by the then undisturbed in the spaces between the webs engaging tines. Just the problem of an impact of downwardly facing webs or wall regions of the collar on support tines is characterized by the invention that the support tines such a web or wall area permanently dodge in an adapted end position with attached container and this evasive position in the lifting of the so held Retain container, decisively defused. This means that, according to the invention, different end positions of the individual supporting prongs result, provided that a region of the collar pointing downwards encounters at least one supporting prong and thus makes it necessary to avoid it. It is thus not displaced by the evasive movement of the supporting tine (n) of the container, but pressed the respective supporting prong (s) in the evasive position.

Sofern Zinken ganz oder teilweise mit einer horizontalen Bewegungskomponente bewegbar sind, können diese dem in der Regel schmalen Steg seitlich ausweichen.If tines are fully or partially movable with a horizontal movement component, they can avoid the usually narrow web laterally.

Für eine zuverlässige Halterung des Behälters und ein Unterbinden seines seitlichen Wegrutschens ist eine Vielzahl von den Behälter greifenden und zentrierenden Zinken vorgesehen. Insbesondere können die Zinken schmal ausgebildet sein, wobei mindestens 10 Zinken zum Eingriff an einen Behälter gelangen.For a reliable mounting of the container and preventing its lateral slipping a plurality of the container cross-centering and tines is provided. In particular, the tines may be formed narrow, with at least 10 prongs reach for engagement with a container.

Wenn die Zinken an der sie tragenden Leiste abwärtsbeweglich angeordnet sind, können sie dem von oben drückenden Steg nach unten hin ausweichen.If the tines are arranged downwardly movable on the bar carrying them, they can dodge downwards from the web pressing from above.

Für ein seitliches Ausweichen können die Zinken an der sie tragenden Leiste in konstruktiv einfacher Ausbildung schwenkbeweglich angeordnet sein, zum Beispiel jeweils auf einem sie durchdringenden Tragbolzen beweglich gelagert sein. Eine Beweglichkeit mit nur einem Freiheitsgrad sorgt günstig für eine Verkantungsfreiheit der Bewegung und für eine hohe Dauerhaltbarkeit.For a lateral evasion, the tines on the bar carrying them in a structurally simple training can be pivoted be arranged, for example, in each case movably mounted on a carrying bolt passing through it. A mobility with only one degree of freedom provides favorable for tilting freedom of movement and for a high durability.

Zur Begrenzung des Schwenkwinkels und zur Kopplung untereinander können benachbarte bewegliche Zinken über Federelemente gegeneinander abgegrenzt sein, zum Beispiel über Gummipuffer oder horizontal liegende Schraubenfedern.To limit the pivot angle and for coupling with each other adjacent movable prongs can be delimited by spring elements against each other, for example, rubber buffers or horizontal coil springs.

Eine Schwenkbarkeit von Zinken an der Tragleiste um quer zu ihrer Haupterstreckung liegende Achsen stellt sicher, daß die jeweiligen Zinken einem Behältersteg, der in Eingriffsstellung der Zinken ebenfalls quer zur Tragleiste erstreckt ist, schnell und mit kurzem Weg ausweichen können. Hierbei kann wiederum die dichte Staffelung und Vielzahl von nebeneinander stehenden Zinken helfen, daß in jedem Fall ein Steg des Behälters auch auf eine Zinke trifft oder zwischen zwei Zinken sicher eingefaßt ist, so daß der Behälter gegen eine Verschiebung parallel zur Tragleiste gesichert ist. Die Lücken zwischen den Zinken sind daher vorteilhaft im Auftreffbereich von Stegen möglichst klein.A pivoting of tines on the support bar lying about transverse to their main axes axes ensures that the respective tines a container web, which is also extends in the engaged position of the tines transverse to the support bar, can quickly and quickly dodge with a short path. This in turn can help the dense staggering and variety of adjacent tines that in each case a web of the container also meets a prong or is securely bordered between two prongs, so that the container is secured against displacement parallel to the support bar. The gaps between the tines are therefore advantageously as small as possible in the impact area of webs.

Eine Beweglichkeit der Zinken in sich kann eine bewegliche Lagerung entbehrlich machen. Für eine einheitliche und einfache Ausbildung der Zinken können diese beispielsweise aus Federstahl ausgebildet sein.A mobility of the tines in itself can make a movable storage dispensable. For a uniform and simple design of the tines these can be formed, for example, spring steel.

Ebenso ist bei beweglicher oder fester Lagerung auch eine mehrteilige Ausbildung der Zinken möglich, wobei dann ein freies Zinkenende gegenüber einem an einer Tragleiste gehaltenen Ende beweglich sein kann. Damit kann sich ein großer Weg des freien Zinkenendes trotz einer festen Einspannung des anderen Endes ergeben. Zudem kann in der Zinke selbst auch ein Dämpfungselement, etwa ein Gummipuffer, zwischen dem beweglichen und dem festen Bereich vorgesehen sein, um die Einspannung der Zinke so weit wie möglich von einwirkenden Kräften zu entlasten.Likewise, a multi-part design of the tines is possible with movable or fixed storage, in which case a free tine end may be movable relative to a held on a support bar end. This can result in a great way of free tine end despite a fixed clamping of the other end. In addition, in the prong itself also a damping element, such as a rubber buffer, be provided between the movable and the fixed area to relieve the clamping of the prong as far as possible from acting forces.

Das Ausweichen der Zinken gegenüber nach unten ragenden Steg- oder ähnlichen Teilen des Behälters ist zuverlässig möglich, wenn freie Zinkenenden konisch ausgebildet und durch Kontakt mit Teilen des zu greifenden Behälters von diesem kraftbeauschlagbar zur Bewirkung einer Ausweichbewegung sind.The dodging of the prongs against downwardly projecting web or similar parts of the container is reliably possible when free tine ends are conical and by contact with parts of the container to be gripped by this kraftbeauschlagbar to effect an evasive movement.

Auch in der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung kann die Tragleiste nebeneinander mehrere Teilabschnitte umfassen und gleichzeitig wahlweise mehrere Behälter nebeneinander oder einen großen Behälter, zum Beispiel mit 1,1 cbm, erfassen.In the embodiment according to the invention, the support strip can comprise several subsections next to one another and at the same time selectively cover a plurality of containers next to one another or a large container, for example with 1.1 cbm.

Insbesondere wenn quer zur Erstreckung der Tragleiste mehrere Zinken hintereinander stehen, können mehrere Zinken zu einer Gruppe zusammengefaßt und gemeinsam beweglich sein. Ein Bewegungsimpuls auf eine der Zinken reicht dann, um zum Beispiel eine ganze Reihe von Zinken in eine Ausweichbewegung zu versetzen.In particular, when several tines are behind each other transversely to the extension of the support bar, several tines can be combined to form a group and be movable together. A motion impulse on one of the tines is then sufficient to put a whole series of tines into an evasive movement, for example.

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Entsorgungsfahrzeug 1 ist als Selbstfahrer ausgebildet. Auch ein gezogenes Fahrzeug kommt in Betracht. Es umfaßt in jedem Fall zumindest einen Greifarm 2, der zur Aufnahme von unterschiedlichen Behältern dienen und diese anheben sowie auch heranziehen und mehr oder weniger über Kopf verkippt einer Entleerung in einen Einfüllbereich 3 - hier des Fahrzeugs 1 - zuführten kann. Dem Einfüllbereich 3 kann eine Preßeinrichtung nachgeordnet sein, die die eingefüllten Stoffe in beispielsweise einen Wechselbehälter einschiebt und verdichtet.This in Fig. 1 Disposal vehicle 1 shown is designed as a self-propelled. Even a towed vehicle comes into consideration. It comprises in each case at least one gripper arm 2, which serve to accommodate different containers and lift them as well as draw and more or less tilted over head emptying into a filling area 3 - here the vehicle 1 - fed. The filling area 3 may be arranged downstream of a pressing device, which inserts the filled substances into, for example, a swap body and compacted.

Ein solcher Greifarm 2 kann auch an einer stationären Einrichtung oder an anderen mobilen Einrichtungen vorgesehen sein.Such a gripping arm 2 can also be provided on a stationary device or on other mobile devices.

Die aufzunehmenden Behälter können etwa zur Entsorgung von einzufüllenden Reststoffen, Wertstoffen, Schutt, Schlacken oder ähnliche Stoffen dienen und beispielsweise übliche genormte und in Draufsicht im wesentlichen quadratische Haushaltsmülleimer oder auch größere Behälter ausbilden, zum Beispiel einen in Draufsicht rechteckigen 1.1-cbm-Behälter, wie er häufig in Gewerbeeinheiten Verwendung findet.For example, the containers to be accommodated can be used for disposing of residual materials, recyclables, debris, slags or similar substances and for example form conventional standardized and substantially square household waste bins or even larger containers, for example a 1.1 cbm container rectangular in plan view He often finds use in commercial units.

Der Greifarm 2, der seitlich oder vorne oder hinten am Fahrzeug 1 angeordnet sein kann, ist um mehrere Gelenke 4, 5, 6 beweglich und umfaßt an seinem ausgreifenden Endbereich eine Aufnahmeeinheit 7 mit einer Abstützungsplatte 8 und dieser im oberen Bereich zugeordneten Tragleiste 9, die insgesamt sowohl nach quer außen als auch nach oben oder in kombinierten Schwenk- und/oder Translationsbewegungen sowie dabei in sich verkippend bewegbar sein kann. Sie kann entlang ihrer Längserstreckung L, beim Seitenlader also in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung, ein- oder mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Die Tragleiste 9 trägt hier eine Mehrzahl von Zinken 10, die in den Figuren jeweils zur Anschauung in unterschiedlichen Ausbildungen und gruppiert dargestellt sind. Die Zinken 10 sind separat beweglich, also unabhängig von einer möglichen Bewegung der Aufnahmeeinheit 7 oder Tragleiste 9 oder eines ähnlichen Tragmittels.The gripping arm 2, which can be arranged laterally or frontally or rearwardly of the vehicle 1, is movable around a plurality of joints 4, 5, 6 and comprises at its sprawling end portion a receiving unit 7 with a support plate 8 and this in the upper region associated support bar 9, the in total, both transversely outward and upward or in combined pivoting and / or translational movements and thereby can be tilted in itself. It may be formed along its longitudinal extent L, the side loader so in the vehicle longitudinal direction, one or more parts. The support bar 9 carries here a plurality of prongs 10, which are shown in the figures in each case to the intuition in different configurations and grouped. The tines 10 are movable separately, so regardless of a possible movement of the receiving unit 7 or support bar 9 or a similar support means.

In der Praxis können - müssen jedoch nicht - alle Zähne 10 einer Tragleiste 9 je nach Einsatzzweck auch jeweils gleichartig und äquidistant ausgebildet sein. In jedem Fall dienen sie in Eingriffsstellung zur Aufnahme von Behältern durch Hinter- und/oder Untergreifen eines dort vorgesehenen vorspringenden Bereichs.In practice can - but need not - all teeth 10 a support bar 9 depending on the purpose of each also be identically and equidistantly formed. In any case, they serve in the engaged position for receiving containers by engaging behind and / or under a provided there projecting area.

Eine zusätzliche Schwenkhalterung 11 wird nach Greifen der Behälter mittels der Zinken 10 über dem Behälterrand geschlossen und dient so als Tonnenniederhalter. Dadurch ist deren Verkippen ermöglicht, ohne daß diese Behälter von den Zähnen 10 abrutschen können.An additional pivot bracket 11 is closed by gripping the container by means of the prongs 10 on the container edge and thus serves as a barrel depressor. This allows their tilting without these containers can slip off of the teeth 10.

Es ist auch möglich, daß an der Tragleiste 9 verschiedene aufragende Zähne angeordnet sind, wobei zum Beispiel einige Zähne in herkömmlicher Weise unbeweglich und breit erstreckt mit einer im wesentlichen rechteckigen Umrißgestalt ausgebildet und nur in kritischen Bereichen Zinken 10 in der im folgenden dargestellten erfinderischen Weise ausgebildet sind:It is also possible that 9 different upstanding teeth are arranged on the support bar, for example, some teeth in a conventional manner immovable and wide extending formed with a substantially rectangular outline shape and formed only in critical areas prongs 10 in the inventive manner shown below are:

Die erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Zinken, die hier insgesamt unter dem Bezugszeichen 10 zusammengefaßt sind und von denen es, wie in den Zeichnungsfiguren 2 bis 8 dargestellt ist, unterschiedliche Typen 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e geben kann, sind je nach Ausbildung in sich und/oder gegenüber ihrer Halterung 9 an der Aufnahmeeinheit 7 beweglich. Eine einstückige Ausbildung der Zinken ist für eine gute Stabilität und Dauerhaltbarkeit besonders günstig.The inventively formed tines, which are summarized here in total by the reference numeral 10 and of which, as shown in the drawing figures 2 to 8, different types 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e may be, depending on the training in itself and / or with respect to their holder 9 on the receiving unit 7 movable. A one-piece design of the tines is particularly favorable for good stability and durability.

Die Zinken 10c (Fig. 6) sind an der sie tragenden Leiste 9 abwärtsbeweglich angeordnet und hierfür in Vertikalhülsen 12 der Tragleiste 9 federnd gelagert. Dabei kann eine große Federkonstante vorgesehen sein, um sicherzustellen, daß nur bei außergewöhnlicher Belastung (Auftreffen eines Vertikalstegs des Behälters) die jeweiligen Zinken 10c nach unten ausweichen. Auch eine Kopplung mit benachbarten Zähnen 10c ist möglich, um sicherzustellen, daß jeweils nur diejenigen Zähne 10c ausweichen können, die punktuell gegenüber den anderen mit einer erheblich größeren Kraft beaufschlagt werden. Eine Absacken einer ganzen Gruppe von Zähnen 10c kann so vermieden werden.The tines 10c ( Fig. 6 ) are arranged on the bar 9 carrying them downwardly movable and this resiliently mounted in vertical sleeves 12 of the support bar 9. In this case, a large spring constant can be provided in order to ensure that only under exceptional load (impingement of a vertical web of the container) the respective tines 10c dodge down. A coupling with adjacent teeth 10c is possible to ensure that only those teeth 10c can escape, which are selectively applied to the other with a significantly larger force. Sagging of an entire group of teeth 10c can thus be avoided.

Die Zähne 10a (Fig. 4) und 10b (Fig. 5) sind hingegen an der sie tragenden Leiste 9 derart angeordnet, daß sie ganz oder teilweise mit einer horizontalen Bewegungskomponente bewegbar sind. Die Zinken 10a sind dabei für ein Behältereinfädeln sehr vorteilhaft an der sie tragenden Leiste 9 schwenkbeweglich mit nur einem Freiheitsgrad ihrer Bewegung angeordnet, wobei sie an der Tragleiste 9 um quer zu ihrer Haupterstreckung L liegende Achsen 13 schwenkbar sind. Diese sind durch die Zinken 10a durchgreifende Haltebolzcn H gebildet. Somit können diese Zinken 10a mit einer Komponente in Richtung L solchen Stegen am Behälter, die quer zur Erstreckung L aufkommen, durch seitliches Verschwenken ausweichen und gleichzeitig für diese Stege eine Ablaufschräge zur optimierten Zentrierung bilden. Durch den nur einen Freiheitsgrad der Bewegung ist ein Verkanten der Zinken 10a, 10b beim Behälteraufsetzten ausgeschlossen.The teeth 10a ( Fig. 4 ) and 10b ( Fig. 5 ) are, however, arranged on the supporting bar 9 such that they are fully or partially movable with a horizontal movement component. The tines 10a are very advantageous for a Behältereinfädeln arranged on the bar 9 carrying them pivotally with only one degree of freedom of their movement, wherein they are on the support bar 9 about transverse to its main extension L axes 13 are pivotally. These are formed by the prongs 10a by cross Haltebolzcn H. Thus, these prongs 10a with a component in the direction of L such webs on the container, which arise transversely to the extension L, avoid by lateral pivoting and at the same time form a drainage slope for optimized centering for these webs. Due to the only one degree of freedom of the movement tilting of the tines 10a, 10b is excluded when Behälteraufsetzten.

Der Schwenkwinkel kann dadurch begrenzt sein, daß benachbarte bewegliche Zinken 10a über Federelemente, zum Beispiel Gummipuffer oder liegende Schraubenfedern, gegeneinander abgegrenzt sind. Auch Anschläge mit Rückstellfedern sind möglich. Ebenso können eckige Haltebolzen H vorgesehen sein, die eine ebenfalls eckige Übermaßbohrung der Zinken 10a durchgreifen und je nach Größe des Übermaßes nur ein kleines Verschwenken ermöglichen.The pivoting angle can be limited by the fact that adjacent movable prongs 10a are delimited against each other via spring elements, for example, rubber buffers or horizontal coil springs. Also stops with return springs are possible. Likewise, angular retaining bolts H can be provided, which pass through a likewise angular oversize bore of the prongs 10a and allow only a small pivoting depending on the size of the oversize.

Die Zähne 10b gemäß Figur 5 zeigen ebenfalls diese horizontale Ausweichmöglichkeit mit einer Komponente in Richtung der Haupterstreckung L der Tragleiste 9, sind jedoch insgesamt kardanisch aufgehängt, so daß neben dem Ausweichen wie bei den Zinken 10a auch ein Ausweichen quer zur Erstreckung L oder schräg hierzu möglich ist. Dies ist besonders vorteilhaft für solche Behälter, die im vorspringenden Kragen ein Muster von in unterschiedlichen Richtungen laufenden Verstärkungsstegen aufweisen.The teeth 10b according to FIG. 5 also show this horizontal Ausweichmöglichkeit with a component in the direction of the main extension L of the support bar 9, but are a total of gimbaled, so that in addition to the evasion as in the tines 10 a and a deflection transverse to the extension L or obliquely possible. This is particularly advantageous for those containers which have a pattern of reinforcing webs running in different directions in the projecting collar.

Anders als in den beschriebenen Ausführungen und Darstellungen nach den Figuren 4, 5 und 6 können auch Zinken 10d in sich beweglich sein, wie in der breiten Zinke 10d mit der unbelastet durchgehenden Außenkontur dargestellt ist. Diese Tragzinke 10d ist über ihre Breite B punktuell deformierbar: Wenn zum Beispiel an dem Pfeil 14 ein punktueller Druck einwirkt, können die daneben liegenden Bereiche hiervon unberührt bleiben oder sogar durch Verdrängung von zum Beispiel einem in der Zinke 10d enthaltenen Gel oder dergleichen zusätzlich versteifen, wohingegen an der Druckeinwirkungsstelle 14 eine Nachgiebigkeit vorliegt.Unlike in the described embodiments and illustrations after the FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 also prongs 10d can be movable in itself, as shown in the wide prong 10d with the unloaded continuous outer contour. This supporting prong 10d is punctually deformable over its width B: for example, if punctiform pressure is applied to the arrow 14, the adjacent areas thereof may remain unaffected or may even stiffen by displacing, for example, a gel or the like contained in the prong 10d, whereas at the pressure impact site 14, there is compliance.

Auch schmale Zinken, wie sie mit den Zinken 10a, 10b und 10c in den Figuren 4 bis 6 beschrieben sind, können alternativ oder zusätzlich zu ihrer beweglichen Lagerung auch in sich beweglich sein und hierzu beispielsweise ganz oder teilweise aus Federstahl oder einem flexiblen Kunststoff bestehen.Also narrow tines, as with the tines 10a, 10b and 10c in the FIGS. 4 to 6 described, may alternatively or in addition to their movable storage in itself be mobile and for this example consist entirely or partially of spring steel or a flexible plastic.

In jedem Fall ist es für eine gleichmäßige Krafteinleitung sehr günstig, wenn die Zinken 10 jeweils eine Quererstreckung von weniger als fünf Zentimetern haben und ein Behälter von mindestens zehn Zinken abstützbar ist. Mit dieser hohen Zahl von Zinken ist auch sichergestellt, daß in jedem Fall nach unten vorstehende Stege des Behälters auf aufragende Zinken 10 treffen und durch deren Ausweichbewegung eine Zentrierung erfahren. Es ist praktisch ausschließbar, daß die Stege sämtlich in freien Bereichen zwischen Zinken 10 auf die Tragleiste 9 auftreffen und dann an dieser seitlich hin und her rutschen können.In any case, it is very favorable for a uniform application of force when the tines 10 each have a transverse extent of less than five centimeters and a container of at least ten tines can be supported. With this high number of tines it is also ensured that in each case downwardly projecting webs of the container meet upstanding tines 10 and undergo a centering by their evasive movement. It is practically ausschließbar that the webs all impact in free areas between tines 10 on the support bar 9 and then can slide laterally back and forth on this.

Für die beschriebene Beweglichkeit in sich können die Zinken 10e (Fig. 8) auch mehrteilig ausgebildet sein, wobei dann jeweils ein freies Zinkenende 15 gegenüber einem an einer Tragleiste 9 gehaltenen Ende 16 beweglich ist. Dazwischen kann ein Feder- oder Pufferbereich 17 liegen, zum Beispiel auch ein Gummielement oder ein Federstahlbereich, der die Bewegung begrenzt und eine Rückstellkraft aufbringt.For the mobility described in the tines 10e ( Fig. 8 ) Also be formed in several parts, in which case each one free end of the tine 15 is movable relative to a held on a support bar 9 end 16. In between, a spring or buffer area 17, for example also a rubber element or a spring steel area, which limits the movement and applies a restoring force.

Für die Stabilität und Dauerhaltbarkeit ist jedoch eine einstückige Ausbildung der Zinken besonders günstig.For the stability and durability, however, a one-piece design of the tines is particularly favorable.

Wie in verschiedenen Zeichnungsfiguren zu erkennen ist, laufen die freien Zinkenenden 15 konisch zusammen, so daß zumindest diese Enden 15 oder die ganze jeweilige Zinke 10a, 10b, 10c, 10e durch Kontakt mit Teilen gegenüber Eingriffsöffnungen nach unten vorstehenden Bereichen des zu greifenden Behälters von diesem kraftbeaufschlagbar sind und damit an dem Steg oder dergleichen Bereich zum Beispiel seitlich oder nach vorne oder hinten in Richtung einer Ausweichbewegung 18, 19 abgleiten können, ohne diesen zu beschädigen oder selbst beschädigt zu werden. Ob die Zinken 10a, 10b, 10c, 10e dabei besser seitlich in Richtung des Pfeils 18 oder nach vorne und hinten in Richtung des Pfeils 19 zu schwenken sind, hängt von der jeweiligen Behälter- und Zinkenausbildung ab.As can be seen in various drawing figures, the free tine ends 15 conically converge so that at least these ends 15 or the entire respective prong 10a, 10b, 10c, 10e by contact with parts against engagement openings downwardly projecting portions of the container to be gripped from this kraftbeaufschlagbar and thus on the web or the like area, for example, laterally or forward or backward in the direction of an evasive movement 18, 19 can slide without damaging this or even be damaged. Whether the prongs 10a, 10b, 10c, 10e are better to pivot laterally in the direction of the arrow 18 or forward and backward in the direction of the arrow 19, depends on the respective container and tine training.

In jedem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Zinken in eine Schrägstellung gelangen und dabei Abgleitschrägen für die Stege des Behälters ausbilden können. Hierfür ist auch eine einstückige Ausbildung der Zinken günstig, was eine In-sich-Beweglichkeit, zum Beispiel bei Verwendung von Federstahl, nicht ausschließt.In any case, it is advantageous if the tines can reach an inclined position and thereby form Abgleitschrägen for the webs of the container. For this purpose, a one-piece design of the prongs is low, which does not preclude an in-itself mobility, for example when using spring steel.

Auch ist es, abweichend von der Zeichnung, möglich, daß zur Verteilung der Aufnahmekraft nicht nur Zinken 10 in einer Reihe nebeneinander angeordnet sind, sondern es können auch mehrere Reihen hintereinander, also quer zur Erstreckung L aufeinander folgend, angeordnet sein. Nicht nur in diesem Fall ist es möglich, daß mehrere gleichartige oder verschiedene Zinken 10 zu einer Gruppe zusammengefaßt und gemeinsam beweglich sind.Also, it is possible, notwithstanding the drawing, that not only tines 10 are arranged in a row next to each other for the distribution of the recording force, but it can also several rows one behind the other, so arranged transversely to the extension L successively. Not only in this case is it possible that several similar or different prongs 10 are combined to form a group and are movable together.

Insgesamt kann der erfindungsgemäße Greifarm 2 für eine mobile Einheit modular ausgebildet sein und etwa eine auswechselbare Aufnahmeeinrichtung 7 umfassen, die je nach Bedarf und Einsatzzweck ausgewählt werden kann.Overall, the gripper arm 2 according to the invention for a mobile unit may be modular and comprise approximately an interchangeable receiving device 7, which can be selected according to need and purpose.
