Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for leveling the rails of a motor vehicle lift with at least two lifting columns on which the rails are mounted vertically movable and by positive engagement in vertically successive holding elements in the desired height deductible by the rails directly or Snap indirectly mounted pawls in the holding elements, the snap-in movement of the pawls is monitored.
  • Such lifts are known with two or four lifting columns in different variants.
  • the rails are usually hydraulically (also on pull cables, chains or the like), but also moved electrically by threaded spindles.
  • a lift with the features mentioned is by the US 2006/0151247 A1 known.
  • the position of the pawls is monitored and displayed to the operator. The operator thereby recognizes whether the pawls are in their retracted position or whether they are in the engaged position for securing the lift.
  • the two rails are absolutely horizontal and level aligned, because the rails in this case sliding and / or rotary plates, so that the vehicle wheels, at least the front wheels, stress-free , With an inclination of one of the rails, the vehicle could therefore slip sideways, because the sliding and / or rotary plates are mounted extremely low friction on the rails.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the known multi-column lift to the effect that their rails occupy an absolutely level same height position when weaning. It should be dispensed with readjustments and other additional measures, so that the lift is characterized by easy-to-use and speedy operation.
  • the invention is based on the finding that during the lifting of the rails, the differences in lift between the individual suspension points are still relatively low and only then become a problem when the rails are sold on different high breakpoints, because the pawls in the trip once in a upper, the other times have penetrated into a lower retaining element.
  • This condition is eliminated in the present invention, because the rails after the release of the pawls still a little start up and during this boot the position of the pawls is monitored. As a result, the pawls, which have not yet reached the positive engagement and would cause the discontinuation of the rails an inadmissible slope, are still raised to the appropriate engagement position. While this startup, the already correctly positioned pawls are taken, but still remain in engagement with the correct tooth gap. The controller then detects that all four pawls are snapped in, stops the lifting movement and initiates the landing of the rails.
  • the pawls are still in operative connection with another switching element which responds in the retracted passive position of the pawls. These signals are also transmitted to a control, so that the shutdown of the lift (not the discontinuation of the rails) takes place only when the lock is released by the pawls.
  • the retaining elements may be the already mentioned toothed racks. Instead, but also perforated strips or other constructions with consecutive vertically successive attacks come into consideration. It should be noted in principle that the height difference between adjacent holding elements is at least 3 mm, preferably at least 5 mm, that is, this height difference must be greater than the theoretically possible during the lifting movement of the rails stroke difference between the individual lifting columns.
  • the lift consists of four lifting columns 1 a, 1 b, 1 c and 1 d.
  • a front cross member 2 a At the front lifting columns 1 a and 1 b, a front cross member 2 a, at the rear lifting columns 1 c and 1 d, a rear cross member 2 b are each mounted vertically adjustable. All lifting columns have a known linear actuator for the two cross members, so that they can be moved simultaneously up and down.
  • cross members On the cross members are mounted in a known manner from front to rear running rails 3a and 3b, which serve to receive the vehicle.
  • These rails are at least in the front wheels with sliding and / or rotary plates 4a and 4b equipped so that the wheels can move in a horizontal force-free position, which is a prerequisite for accurate wheel alignment.
  • Another requirement is to bring the four suspension points for the cross member 2a and 2b at the same height level.
  • the rails or the cross members 2a and 2b carrying them are equipped with a special pawl mechanism, which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • FIG. 2 shows the latch construction at the two ends of the cross member.
  • the front cross member 2a wherein the lifting columns 1a and 1b arranged at its two ends have been omitted are.
  • holding elements 5a and 5b in the form of vertical perforated strips. These perforated strips are expediently integrated into the lifting columns. They are designed such that they can accommodate a multiple of the vehicle weight.
  • pawls 6a and 6b are movably mounted on both ends of the crossbeam, in such a way that they can be pivoted from a retracted passive position into an active front position in which they are positively locked to the retaining elements 5a or 5a, as shown in the drawing 5b engage, so that the cross members and the rails held by them on the holding elements 5a and 5b can be discontinued.
  • the associated structural design results from the Figures 3 and 4 ,
  • Both figures show the right end of the cross member 2a, the associated holding element 5b and the corresponding pawl 6b.
  • the retaining element 5b consists of a profiled rail which, on its side facing the cross member 2a, has a multiplicity of windows 5b 'arranged vertically one above the other, each being separated from one another by solid intermediate pieces 5b.
  • the cross member 2a can be set down on each of these intermediate pieces.
  • the pawl 6b is pivotally mounted on the cross member 2a via a horizontal pivot axis 7 in the direction of the holding element 5b.
  • the pawl 6b is connected via an eyelet 6b 'hingedly connected to a lever 9 which is actuated by an electromagnet 10.
  • the magnet 10 is loaded by a spring in the locking direction, that is, in the drawing to the right. This ensures that, for example, in a power failure, the pawls are loaded in the locking direction, so penetrate into one of the window 5b 'of the holding element and can prevent a fall of the cross member.
  • the pawls are in operative connection with the lifting drive to ensure, for example, in case of leakage in hydraulic lifting drive or in the case of a cable break in a lifting drive by means of ropes that the pawls are operated independently of the voltage applied to the magnet in the locking sense.
  • the individual pawls When starting up the lift, the individual pawls are deflected by the angled lower ends of the spacers 5b "inward, so swung out of the window 5b 'so that they do not hinder the lifting movement, but in the event of a fall can immediately snap back into the next window.
  • the position of the pawls 6b is monitored, in the exemplary embodiment in each case by a switch 11 which is actuated by a pivot arm 9a connected to the lever 9 when the pawl is engaged in one of the windows 5b '. Only when all four switches 11 indicate the latched position of the pawls during startup of the lift, the lifting movement is stopped, because then it is ensured that all pawls are locked in level windows. Then the settling movement can be initiated so that the in FIG. 3 shown state is reached.
  • FIG. 4 shows the same section as FIG. 3
  • the pawl 6b is not engaged with the associated holding element 5b, but at an intermediate height between two windows 5b '.
  • the pawl 6b is loaded in the sense of engagement, but abuts with its front nose on one of the intermediate pieces 5b "on Locking sense can be done by the magnet 10, but instead also by springs, such as a mounted on the axis 7 spring 8 or a differently positioned spring element.
  • FIG. 4 So shows the state in which the crossbars still need to be raised slightly until finally all pawls are engaged in their associated retaining element. Only then does the lowering begin, so that the transverse members are no longer supported by the lifting elements but by the retaining elements.
  • the four holding elements must be aligned with each other so that their respective intermediate pieces 5b "are each at the same level.
  • a locking pawls in different height window 5b ' is excluded by the fact that the distance between the spacers 5b "(more precisely, its supporting upper edge) is greater than the worst case occurring stroke difference between the four points of articulation of the crossbeams.
  • FIG. 4 shows the combination of pawls in a lifting drive via ropes 14.
  • the crossbars are suspended from cables that are laid to the upper ends of the lifting columns.
  • the pawls can each be in operative connection with Seilabtastern 13.
  • This Seilabtaster 13 are with their free end to the streamlined rope.
  • the rope 14 - as is known - is fixed at the upper end of the lifting column and is pulled or issued by a arranged on the cross-beam cylinder / piston unit, the Seilabtaster 13 may have a rotatably mounted roller 13 a, with which they Glide rope along.
  • the cable scanner 13 it is essential that the cable scanner 13 then, if the rope 14 is not taut, give way and can act on the pawl in the locking sense.
  • the scanner 13 may be acted upon by the same spring 8 in the locking direction and are positively engaged with the pawl.
  • the pawl 13 At the in FIG. 4 shown section pivots so the pawl 13 in a clockwise direction and takes the pawl 6b with.
  • the invention thus offers the advantage that the rails can be leveled and set to the same height, without additional operating effort would be necessary.
  • the operator only needs to press a certain release button, so that the pawls are passively released or actively loaded in the sense of snap action, whereupon the further process (monitoring the pawl position by the switch 11 and settling after reaching the positive engagement on all pawls) is performed automatically ,
