Definitions
- the present invention relates to a swap body which serves to transport goods and which has a wall at least partially limited receiving space for receiving the goods.
- the swap body has a support device with a plurality of spaced apart support legs, wherein the support legs are each movable between a rest position and a support position.
- the support legs protrude in the support position of an underside of the swap body and support it against a background.
- Each support leg is associated with a fixing element, which is convertible into a fixing position, in which it fixes the corresponding support leg in its support position.
- the means of transport consists of a tractor and associated trailer. Furthermore, the means of transport has a control for actuating a respective rechargeable swap body.
- the swap body comprises a support frame with support legs attached thereto, which can be lifted into a rest position from the ground and moved into a support position, so that the swap body can be parked without means of transport or trailer on the ground. At least one support leg is assigned a means for automatically moving the support leg from the rest position to the support position and / or vice versa.
- Each support leg may also be associated with a sensor which monitors the secure locking of the corresponding support leg in the rest position during the journey of the means of transport.
- the disadvantage here is that a safe parking the swap body is not monitored. This is where dangers can occur during work such as loading and unloading the swap body. When not securely arranged support legs in the support position, the support leg can suddenly fold. This represents a great danger for a loading staff.
- the support legs are automatically movable from at least one motor drive from one end position to the other end position.
- the motor drive is arranged on the swap body or a replaceable container carrier vehicle.
- the object of the invention is therefore to monitor a safe parking a swap body on a substrate.
- a swap body which serves to transport goods and has a by a wall at least partially limited receiving space for receiving the goods.
- the swap body has a support device with a plurality of spaced apart support legs, wherein the support legs are each movable between a rest position and a support position. In the support position, the support legs protrude from an underside of the swap body and support it against a background.
- On the swap body can be arranged preferably four support legs. These may be arranged in a square or rectangle under the swap body, so that it stands on the ground when the support legs are arranged in the support position. This is, so to speak, a parking position of the swap body when it is being loaded or unloaded or is only parked.
- the support legs are also spaced apart such that a transport vehicle, for example a truck, from a designated direction of transport can drive under the swap body to pick it up.
- the support legs are then moved from the support position to the rest position. This can be done by folding, pushing or otherwise. If the support legs are in the rest position, the swap body can be transported by means of the transport vehicle.
- Each support leg is further associated with a fixing element, which is convertible into a fixing position in which it fixes the corresponding support leg in its supporting position. By means of the fixing element prevents the support leg, while it supports the swap body, moves out of the support position.
- the fixing serve to secure the swap body, for example, they protect against overturning of the swap body.
- the fixing element may be formed as a strut, which is arranged in the fixing position at one end to the support leg and at the other end to a frame portion of the interchangeable container.
- the strut can be hinged, so that it can be folded for the drive of the swap body and folded for fixing the support leg in the fixing position.
- a sensor unit is assigned to each fixing element, with the aid of which it can be determined whether the respective fixing element is in its fixing position. This can be checked whether the fixing securely fixes the respective support leg.
- the swap body can be safely turned off.
- each support leg is associated with a support sensor, with the help of which it can be determined whether the respective support leg is in its support position and / or in its rest position. Thus it can be checked whether the support leg is correctly arranged in the support position. Before the support leg is correctly on the ground, should also be transferred to the fixing in the fixing position to securely fix the support leg. On the other hand, if the support sensor recognizes that the support leg, in particular that all the support legs, is / are arranged in the rest position, the swap body can be transported.
- the swap body and / or the support leg have a latching element, wherein the fixing element is held positively in the fixing position by means of the latching element.
- the latching element may be, for example, a bolt which is inserted into an opening on the fixing element to form the positive connection.
- the bolt is held in the opening.
- the opening could, for example, be arranged on an extension on the fixing element, wherein, when the support leg is fixed by means of the fixing element, the opening is joined to the bolt.
- the bolt is arranged on the swap body.
- the bolt can also be arranged on the fixing element, for example the strut. When fixing the support leg by means of the strut, the bolt can be inserted into the opening.
- the opening is arranged here on a frame portion of the interchangeable container.
- the interchangeable container comprises a control unit, which is preferably in operative connection with the sensor unit and / or with the support sensor. Additionally or alternatively, the control unit has an output unit.
- the control unit is advantageously connected to the sensor units and / or support sensors of all fixing and / or all support legs to control the position of the fixing and / or the position of the support legs.
- the control unit evaluates in particular the signals of the respective sensors.
- the output unit can then output, for example, a status signal as a function of the position of the respective fixing element and / or of the respective support leg.
- the status signal can be an acoustic, optical and / or haptic signal.
- the status signal may be an alarm signal indicating when one or more support legs are not securely fixed by the fixing member.
- the control unit may also be connected to an actuator.
- the control unit may be connected to the coupling between the transport vehicle and the swap body. The control unit can release the clutch, for example, only when all support sensors and / or all sensor units register the correct support of the support legs and / or the correct fixing of the fixing elements, so that the transport vehicle can detach from the swap body.
- the control unit in this case comprises components typical for a control, such as a computing unit which evaluates sensor data, a memory unit which contains the status signals, and a power unit which ensures the supply of energy to the control unit.
- the output unit can also output different status signals (whereby the status signal can consist in the output of a corresponding signal or the extinction thereof).
- the output unit can output a status signal if the first support leg is moved out of the rest position during an unloading of the interchangeable container from the transport vehicle.
- the beginning of the unloading operation is indicated by the first status signal, for example a tone and / or a light signal.
- the output unit may additionally or alternatively output a status signal if all fixing elements are arranged in the fixing position, the fixing elements thus fix the support legs securely. This means for the loading staff that the swap body is safely parked on the ground. The transport vehicle can then be removed from the swap body.
- a signal is activated when a first support leg is removed from its rest position and the signal is deactivated again when the last fixing element has assumed its fixing position.
- a status signal can be output as soon as a first fixing element is in the fixing position. This may be advantageous in that the loading staff is informed of the beginning of the unloading process. The loading staff is thus informed that the swap body is not yet safe on the ground.
- a status signal can be output when all fixing elements are in the fixing position. This informs the loading staff of the safe parking of the swap body. The loader can then move away from the swap body.
- All these status signals serve the unloading staff as an indication of whether the swap body is safe on a ground and no danger from this, because the swap body could tip over, for example.
- a single status signal could be output.
- a single status signal can be output when all support legs are arranged in the support position and all fixing elements in the fixing position. This is also an indication that the container is safe on the ground.
- the sensor unit comprises a sensor and a sensor element, wherein the sensor element is in operative connection with the sensor in the fixing position of the fixing element.
- the senor is designed as an electrical, a magnetic and / or an optical sensor.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es somit, ein sicheres Abstellen eines Wechselbehälters auf einem Untergrund zu überwachen.The object of the invention is therefore to monitor a safe parking a swap body on a substrate.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Wechselbehälter mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1.The object is achieved by a swap body with the features of independent claim 1.
Vorgeschlagen wird ein Wechselbehälter, der dem Transportieren von Gütern dient und der einen durch eine Wandung zumindest teilweise begrenzten Aufnahmeraum zur Aufnahme der Güter aufweist.It proposes a swap body, which serves to transport goods and has a by a wall at least partially limited receiving space for receiving the goods.
Der Wechselbehälter weist eine Stützvorrichtung mit mehreren voneinander beabstandeten Stützbeinen auf, wobei die Stützbeine jeweils zwischen einer Ruheposition und einer Abstützposition bewegbar sind. In der Abstützposition ragen die Stützbeine von einer Unterseite des Wechselbehälters weg und stützen diesen gegenüber einem Untergrund ab. An dem Wechselbehälter können vorzugsweise vier Stützbeine angeordnet sein. Diese können in einem Quadrat oder Rechteck unter dem Wechselbehälter angeordnet sein, so dass dieser auf dem Untergrund steht, wenn die Stützbeine in der Abstützposition angeordnet sind. Dies ist sozusagen eine Parkposition des Wechselbehälters, wenn dieser be- oder entladen wird oder nur abgestellt ist.The swap body has a support device with a plurality of spaced apart support legs, wherein the support legs are each movable between a rest position and a support position. In the support position, the support legs protrude from an underside of the swap body and support it against a background. On the swap body can be arranged preferably four support legs. These may be arranged in a square or rectangle under the swap body, so that it stands on the ground when the support legs are arranged in the support position. This is, so to speak, a parking position of the swap body when it is being loaded or unloaded or is only parked.
Die Stützbeine sind auch derart voneinander beabstandet, dass ein Transportfahrzeug, zum Beispiel ein LKW, aus einer vorgesehenen Transportrichtung unter den Wechselbehälter fahren kann, um ihn aufzunehmen. Die Stützbeine werden dann von der Abstützposition in die Ruheposition bewegt. Dies kann durch Einklappen, Einschieben oder eine sonstige Weise geschehen. Wenn sich die Stützbeine in der Ruheposition befinden, kann der Wechselbehälter mittels des Transportfahrzeugs transportiert werden. Einem jeden Stützbein ist des Weiteren ein Fixierelement zugeordnet, das in eine Fixierstellung überführbar ist, in der es das entsprechende Stützbein in seiner Abstützposition fixiert. Mittels des Fixierelements wird verhindert, dass sich das Stützbein, während es den Wechselbehälter abstützt, aus der Abstützposition heraus bewegt. Die Fixierelemente dienen zur Sicherung des Wechselbehälters, zum Beispiel schützen sie vor einem Umstürzen des Wechsel behälters.The support legs are also spaced apart such that a transport vehicle, for example a truck, from a designated direction of transport can drive under the swap body to pick it up. The support legs are then moved from the support position to the rest position. This can be done by folding, pushing or otherwise. If the support legs are in the rest position, the swap body can be transported by means of the transport vehicle. Each support leg is further associated with a fixing element, which is convertible into a fixing position in which it fixes the corresponding support leg in its supporting position. By means of the fixing element prevents the support leg, while it supports the swap body, moves out of the support position. The fixing serve to secure the swap body, for example, they protect against overturning of the swap body.
Das Fixierelement kann als Strebe ausgebildet sein, die in der Fixierstellung an einem Ende an dem Stützbein und an dem anderen Ende an einem Rahmenabschnitt des Wechselbehälters angeordnet ist. Die Strebe kann klappbar sein, so dass diese für die Fahrt des Wechselbehälters eingeklappt und für ein Fixieren des Stützbeins in die Fixierstellung geklappt werden kann.The fixing element may be formed as a strut, which is arranged in the fixing position at one end to the support leg and at the other end to a frame portion of the interchangeable container. The strut can be hinged, so that it can be folded for the drive of the swap body and folded for fixing the support leg in the fixing position.
Erfindungsgemäß ist jedem Fixierelement eine Sensoreinheit zugeordnet, mit deren Hilfe feststellbar ist, ob sich das jeweilige Fixierelement in seiner Fixierstellung befindet. Damit kann kontrolliert werden, ob das Fixierelement das jeweilige Stützbein sicher fixiert.According to the invention, a sensor unit is assigned to each fixing element, with the aid of which it can be determined whether the respective fixing element is in its fixing position. This can be checked whether the fixing securely fixes the respective support leg.
Insbesondere wenn die Sensoreinheiten eines jeden Fixierelements an dem Wechselbehälter anzeigen, dass die Stützbeine sicher fixiert sind, kann der Wechselbehälter sicher abgestellt werden.In particular, when the sensor units of each fixing element on the swap body indicate that the support legs are securely fixed, the swap body can be safely turned off.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es, wenn jedem Stützbein ein Stützsensor zugeordnet ist, mit dessen Hilfe feststellbar ist, ob sich das jeweilige Stützbein in seiner Abstützposition und/oder in seiner Ruheposition befindet. Somit kann kontrolliert werden, ob das Stützbein korrekt in der Abstützposition angeordnet ist. Bevor das Stützbein korrekt auf dem Boden steht, sollte ferner das Fixierelement in die Fixierstellung überführt werden, um das Stützbein sicher zu fixieren. Wenn der Stützsensor dagegen erkennt, dass das Stützbein, insbesondere dass alle Stützbeine, in der Ruheposition angeordnet ist/sind, kann der Wechselbehälter transportiert werden.An advantageous development of the invention is when each support leg is associated with a support sensor, with the help of which it can be determined whether the respective support leg is in its support position and / or in its rest position. Thus it can be checked whether the support leg is correctly arranged in the support position. Before the support leg is correctly on the ground, should also be transferred to the fixing in the fixing position to securely fix the support leg. On the other hand, if the support sensor recognizes that the support leg, in particular that all the support legs, is / are arranged in the rest position, the swap body can be transported.
Ferner ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Wechselbehälter und/oder das Stützbein ein Rastelement aufweisen, wobei das Fixierelement in der Fixierstellung mit Hilfe des Rastelements formschlüssig gehalten ist. Das Rastelement kann zum Beispiel ein Bolzen sein, der in eine Öffnung an dem Fixierelement eingeführt wird, um die formschlüssige Verbindung auszubilden. Der Bolzen ist dabei in der Öffnung gehalten. Die Öffnung könnte zum Beispiel an einem Fortsatz an dem Fixierelement angeordnet sein, wobei bei einem Fixieren des Stützbeins mittels des Fixierelements die Öffnung mit dem Bolzen zusammengefügt wird. Der Bolzen ist dabei an dem Wechselbehälter angeordnet. Der Bolzen kann aber auch an dem Fixierelement, beispielsweise der Strebe, angeordnet sein. Bei einem Fixieren des Stützbeins mittels der Strebe kann der Bolzen in die Öffnung eingeführt werden. Die Öffnung ist hier an einem Rahmenabschnitt des Wechselbehälters angeordnet.Further, it is advantageous if the swap body and / or the support leg have a latching element, wherein the fixing element is held positively in the fixing position by means of the latching element. The latching element may be, for example, a bolt which is inserted into an opening on the fixing element to form the positive connection. The bolt is held in the opening. The opening could, for example, be arranged on an extension on the fixing element, wherein, when the support leg is fixed by means of the fixing element, the opening is joined to the bolt. The bolt is arranged on the swap body. However, the bolt can also be arranged on the fixing element, for example the strut. When fixing the support leg by means of the strut, the bolt can be inserted into the opening. The opening is arranged here on a frame portion of the interchangeable container.
Des Weiteren ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Wechselbehälter eine Steuereinheit umfasst, die vorzugsweise mit der Sensoreinheit und/oder mit dem Stützsensor in Wirkverbindung steht. Zusätzlich oder alternativ weist die Steuereinheit eine Ausgabeeinheit auf. Die Steuereinheit ist vorteilhafterweise mit den Sensoreinheiten und/oder Stützsensoren aller Fixierelemente und/oder aller Stützbeine verbunden, um die Stellung der Fixierelemente und/oder die Stellung der Stützbeine zu kontrollieren. Die Steuereinheit wertet dabei insbesondere die Signale der jeweiligen Sensoren aus. Die Ausgabeeinheit kann daraufhin zum Beispiel ein Statussignal in Abhängigkeit der Stellung des jeweiligen Fixierelements und/oder des jeweiligen Stützbeins ausgeben. Das Statussignal kann dabei ein akustisches, optisches und/oder haptisches Signal sein. Das Statussignal kann ein Alarmsignal sein, dass anzeigt, wenn ein oder mehrere Stützbeine nicht sicher mittels des Fixierelements fixiert sind. Die Steuereinheit kann auch mit einem Aktuator verbunden sein. Zum Beispiel kann die Steuereinheit mit der Kupplung zwischen dem Transportfahrzeug und dem Wechselbehälter verbunden sein. Die Steuereinheit kann die Kupplung beispielsweise erst freigeben, wenn alle Stützsensoren und/oder alle Sensoreinheiten das korrekte Abstützen der Stützbeine und/oder das korrekte Fixieren der Fixierelemente registrieren, so dass sich das Transportfahrzeug von dem Wechselbehälter lösen kann.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the interchangeable container comprises a control unit, which is preferably in operative connection with the sensor unit and / or with the support sensor. Additionally or alternatively, the control unit has an output unit. The control unit is advantageously connected to the sensor units and / or support sensors of all fixing and / or all support legs to control the position of the fixing and / or the position of the support legs. The control unit evaluates in particular the signals of the respective sensors. The output unit can then output, for example, a status signal as a function of the position of the respective fixing element and / or of the respective support leg. The status signal can be an acoustic, optical and / or haptic signal. The status signal may be an alarm signal indicating when one or more support legs are not securely fixed by the fixing member. The control unit may also be connected to an actuator. For example, the control unit may be connected to the coupling between the transport vehicle and the swap body. The control unit can release the clutch, for example, only when all support sensors and / or all sensor units register the correct support of the support legs and / or the correct fixing of the fixing elements, so that the transport vehicle can detach from the swap body.
Die Steuereinheit umfasst dabei für eine Steuerung typische Komponenten, wie eine Recheneinheit, die Sensordaten auswertet, eine Speichereinheit, die die Statussignale enthält, und eine Energieeinheit, die die Versorgung der Steuereinheit mit Energie sicherstellt.The control unit in this case comprises components typical for a control, such as a computing unit which evaluates sensor data, a memory unit which contains the status signals, and a power unit which ensures the supply of energy to the control unit.
Die Ausgabeeinheit kann dabei auch unterschiedliche Statussignale ausgeben (wobei das Statussignal in der Ausgabe eines entsprechenden Signals oder dem Erlöschen desselben bestehen kann). Vorteilhafterweise kann die Ausgabeeinheit ein Statussignal ausgeben, wenn bei einem Abladen des Wechselbehälters vom Transportfahrzeug das erste Stützbein aus der Ruheposition bewegt wird. Somit wird der Beginn des Abladevorgangs durch das erste Statussignal, zum Beispiel einem Ton und/oder einem Lichtzeichen, kenntlich gemacht.The output unit can also output different status signals (whereby the status signal can consist in the output of a corresponding signal or the extinction thereof). Advantageously, the output unit can output a status signal if the first support leg is moved out of the rest position during an unloading of the interchangeable container from the transport vehicle. Thus, the beginning of the unloading operation is indicated by the first status signal, for example a tone and / or a light signal.
Die Ausgabeeinheit kann zusätzlich oder alternativ ein Statussignal ausgeben, wenn alle Fixierelemente in der Fixierstellung angeordnet sind, die Fixierelemente die Stützbeine also sicher fixieren. Dies bedeutet für das Ladepersonal, dass der Wechselbehälter sicher auf dem Untergrund abgestellt ist. Das Transportfahrzeug kann daraufhin von dem Wechselbehälter entfernt werden. Insbesondere ist es von Vorteil, wenn ein Signal aktiviert wird, wenn ein erstes Stützbein aus seiner Ruheposition entfernt wird und das Signal wieder deaktiviert wird, wenn das letzte Fixierelement seine Fixierstellung eingenommen hat.The output unit may additionally or alternatively output a status signal if all fixing elements are arranged in the fixing position, the fixing elements thus fix the support legs securely. This means for the loading staff that the swap body is safely parked on the ground. The transport vehicle can then be removed from the swap body. In particular, it is advantageous if a signal is activated when a first support leg is removed from its rest position and the signal is deactivated again when the last fixing element has assumed its fixing position.
Es kann darüber hinaus oder auch alternativ ein Statussignal ausgegeben werden, sobald sich ein erstes Fixierelement in der Fixierstellung befindet. Dies kann dahingehend von Vorteil sein, dass dem Ladepersonal der Beginn des Abladevorgangs mitgeteilt wird. Dem Ladepersonal wird somit mitgeteilt, dass der Wechselbehälter noch nicht sicher auf dem Untergrund steht.In addition or alternatively, a status signal can be output as soon as a first fixing element is in the fixing position. This may be advantageous in that the loading staff is informed of the beginning of the unloading process. The loading staff is thus informed that the swap body is not yet safe on the ground.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann ein Statussignal ausgegeben werden, wenn sich alle Fixierelement in der Fixierstellung befinden. Damit wird dem Ladepersonal das sichere Abstellen des Wechselbehälters mitgeteilt. Das Ladefahrzeug kann sich daraufhin vom Wechselbehälter entfernen.Additionally or alternatively, a status signal can be output when all fixing elements are in the fixing position. This informs the loading staff of the safe parking of the swap body. The loader can then move away from the swap body.
All diese Statussignale dienen dem Abladepersonal als Hinweis, ob der Wechselbehälter sicher auf einem Untergrund steht und keine Gefahren von diesem ausgeht, weil der Wechselbehälter zum Beispiel umkippen könnte.All these status signals serve the unloading staff as an indication of whether the swap body is safe on a ground and no danger from this, because the swap body could tip over, for example.
Alternativ könnte nur ein einziges Statussignal ausgegeben werden. Beispielsweise kann ein einziges Statussignal ausgegeben werden, wenn alle Stützbeine in der Stützposition und alle Fixierelemente in der Fixierstellung angeordnet sind. Das ist ebenfalls ein Hinweis, dass der Wechselbehälter sicher auf dem Untergrund steht.Alternatively, only a single status signal could be output. For example, a single status signal can be output when all support legs are arranged in the support position and all fixing elements in the fixing position. This is also an indication that the container is safe on the ground.
Außerdem ist vorgesehen, dass die Sensoreinheit einen Sensor und ein Sensorelement umfasst, wobei das Sensorelement mit dem Sensor in der Fixierstellung des Fixierelements in Wirkverbindung steht. Damit ist die Sensoreinheit einfach ausbildbar. Insbesondere ist eine Trennung der Sensoreinheit in zwei Teile, den Sensor und das Sensorelement, vorteilhaft, da bei einer Beschädigung des Sensors oder des Sensorelements nur eines der beiden ausgetauscht werden muss.In addition, it is provided that the sensor unit comprises a sensor and a sensor element, wherein the sensor element is in operative connection with the sensor in the fixing position of the fixing element. This makes the sensor unit easy to form. In particular, a separation of the sensor unit into two parts, the sensor and the sensor element, advantageous because only one of the two must be replaced in case of damage to the sensor or the sensor element.
Vorteilhafterweise ist der Sensor als ein elektrischer, ein magnetischer und/oder ein optischer Sensor ausgebildet. Dadurch kann insbesondere eine berührungslose Wirkverbindung zwischen Sensorelement und Sensor ausgebildet werden. Das Sensorelement kann zum Beispiel mechanisch funktionieren und/oder ein elektrisches und/oder magnetisches Feld erzeugen und/oder beeinflussen. Beispielsweise kann das Sensorelement einen Magneten umfassen, dessen Magnetfeld mittels des magnetischen Sensors registrierbar ist. Es könnte der Sensor auch selbst ein magnetisches und/oder elektrisches Feld erzeugen, dass dann von dem Sensorelement beeinflusst wird und der Sensor diese Beeinflussung registriert. Der Sensor kann dabei zum Beispiel als ein induktiver Sensor ausgebildet sein. Ein optischer Sensor kann zum Beispiel durch eine Lichtschranke ausgebildet sein. Das Sensorelement unterbricht dabei beispielsweise die durch den Sensor erzeugte Lichtschranke, was der Sensor wiederum registriert. Mittels der berührungslosen Wirkverbindung wird die Sensoreinheit vereinfacht, da kein Verschleiß von Sensor und Sensorelement auftritt. Außerdem kann ein elektrischer und/oder magnetischer Sensor unempfindlich gegen Schmutz sein, wodurch auch bei einem verschmutzten Sensor die Funktionsfähigkeit der Sensoreinheit sichergestellt ist.Advantageously, the sensor is designed as an electrical, a magnetic and / or an optical sensor. As a result, in particular, a non-contact operative connection between the sensor element and the sensor can be formed. The sensor element may, for example, function mechanically and / or generate and / or influence an electric and / or magnetic field. For example, the sensor element may comprise a magnet whose magnetic field can be registered by means of the magnetic sensor. The sensor could also itself generate a magnetic and / or electric field which is then influenced by the sensor element and the sensor registers this influencing. The sensor can be designed, for example, as an inductive sensor. An optical sensor can be formed for example by a light barrier. The sensor element interrupts, for example, the photocell generated by the sensor, which in turn registers the sensor. By means of the non-contact operative connection, the sensor unit is simplified since no wear of sensor and sensor element occurs. In addition, an electrical and / or magnetic sensor can be insensitive to dirt, whereby the operability of the sensor unit is ensured even with a dirty sensor.
Ferner ist es von Vorteil, wenn das Fixierelement einen Fortsatz und ein Rahmenabschnitt des Wechselbehälters einen Anschlag aufweist, wobei der Fortsatz mit dem Anschlag lösbar verbindbar ist, um das Fixierelement in der Fixierstellung halten zu können. Alternativ könnten der Fortsatz auch an einem Rahmenabschnitt des Wechselbehälters und der Anschlag an dem Fixierelement angeordnet sein. Der Fortsatz und/oder der Anschlag können dabei das weiter oben beschriebene Rastelement aufweisen. Der Fortsatz kann dabei vorzugsweise den Bolzen aufweisen, der mit der an dem Anschlag ausgebildeten Öffnung formschlüssig verbunden ist. Alternativ kann auch die Öffnung an dem Fortsatz ausgebildet sein und der Anschlag den Bolzen aufweisen.Further, it is advantageous if the fixing element has an extension and a frame portion of the interchangeable container has a stop, wherein the extension with the stop is detachably connectable to hold the fixing in the fixing position can. Alternatively, the extension could also be on a Frame section of the interchangeable container and the stop can be arranged on the fixing element. The extension and / or the stop can have the latching element described above. The extension may preferably have the pin which is positively connected to the opening formed on the stop. Alternatively, the opening can also be formed on the extension and the stop can have the bolt.
Der Fortsatz kann dabei an das Fixierelement angeschraubt sein. Wenn der Fortsatz lösbar mit dem Fixierelement verbunden ist, kann dieser bei einer Beschädigung einfach ausgetauscht werden. Wenn er dagegen beispielsweise angeschweißt ist, erhöht dies die Stabilität.The extension can be screwed to the fixing. If the extension is releasably connected to the fixing, it can be easily replaced if damaged. For example, when welded, it increases stability.
Der Anschlag kann aber auch an einen Rahmenabschnitt des Wechselbehälters angeschraubt sein, so dass auch dieser bei einer Beschädigung austauschbar ist.The stopper can also be screwed to a frame portion of the swap body, so that even this is interchangeable in case of damage.
Da das Sensorelement darüber hinaus an dem Fixierelement angeordnet ist, und der Sensor an dem Wechselbehälter angeordnet ist, bringt dies weitere Vorteile mit sich. Insbesondere sind der Sensor und/oder das Sensorelement in Bereichen angeordnet, wobei die Anordnung so gewählt ist, dass die beiden dann zusammenwirken, wenn das Fixierelement in der Fixierstellung ist. Zum Beispiel ist das Sensorelement an einem Ende des Fixierelements und/oder des Fortsatzes angeordnet. Wenn das Fixierelement in die Fixierstellung überführt wird, nähert es sich dem Sensor, der an einem Rahmenabschnitt des Wechselbehälters angeordnet ist, an. Durch das Annähern wird die Wirkverbindung ausgebildet.Moreover, since the sensor element is arranged on the fixing element, and the sensor is arranged on the interchangeable container, this brings with it further advantages. In particular, the sensor and / or the sensor element are arranged in regions, wherein the arrangement is selected such that the two then cooperate when the fixing element is in the fixing position. For example, the sensor element is arranged at one end of the fixing element and / or the extension. When the fixing member is transferred to the fixing position, it approaches the sensor, which is arranged on a frame portion of the interchangeable container to. By approaching the operative connection is formed.
Eine konstruktive Vereinfachung ist es, wenn das Sensorelement einteilig mit dem Fixierelement und/oder dem Fortsatz ausgebildet ist, was ebenfalls Vorteile mit sich bringt. Das Sensorelement kann dabei auch an dem Fixierelement und/oder an dem Fortsatz angeschweißt sein.A constructive simplification is when the sensor element is formed integrally with the fixing element and / or the extension, which also brings advantages. The sensor element can also be welded to the fixing element and / or to the extension.
Eine zusätzliche Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es, wenn das Sensorelement lösbar an dem Fixierelement und/oder an dem Fortsatz, und/oder der Sensor lösbar an dem Wechselbehälter befestigt ist. Damit kann bei einer Beschädigung des Sensors, des Sensorelements, des Fixierelements oder des Stützbeins das jeweilige Bauteil einzeln ausgetauscht werden. Dies spart Zeit bei der Auswechslung des Bauteils und Kosten ein.An additional development of the invention is when the sensor element is releasably attached to the fixing element and / or on the extension, and / or the sensor is releasably attached to the removable container. Thus, in the event of damage to the sensor, the sensor element, the fixing element or the support leg, the respective component can be replaced individually. This saves time when replacing the component and costs.
Auch ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Sensor einen Sensorspalt aufweist und/oder das Sensorelement als Fühler ausgebildet ist, wobei die Wirkverbindung mittels eines Eingreifens des Fühlers in den Sensorspalt ausgebildet ist. Damit kann die Wirkverbindung besonders einfach ausgebildet werden. Zum Beispiel ist es bei einem optischen Sensor besonders einfach, eine Lichtschranke auszubilden. Die Lichtschranke erstreckt sich dabei über den Sensorspalt und der Fühler unterbricht bei einem Eindringen in den Sensorspalt die Lichtschranke.It is also advantageous if the sensor has a sensor gap and / or the sensor element is designed as a sensor, wherein the operative connection is formed by means of an engagement of the sensor in the sensor gap. Thus, the active compound can be made particularly simple. For example, in an optical sensor, it is particularly easy to form a light barrier. The light barrier extends over the sensor gap and the sensor interrupts the light barrier when it enters the sensor gap.

Die Sensoreinheit umfasst in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel den Sensor 10 und das Sensorelement 11, wobei das Sensorelement 11 als Fühler ausgebildet ist. Das Sensorelement 11 ist an dem von dem Fixierelement 4 abgewandten Ende des Fortsatzes 9 angeordnet und ist beispielsweise mittels Schrauben oder Nieten befestigt. Der Sensor 10 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel zweiteilig und umfasst zwei einzelne Sensorbauteile 10a, 10b.The sensor unit comprises in this embodiment, the
Das Sensorelement 11 greift dabei durch einen in dem Anschlag 9 ausgebildeten Spalt 12 und wirkt mit dem Sensor 10 zusammen. Der Spalt 12 ist dabei vorzugsweise als Öffnung, zum Beispiel mit einem rechteckigen Querschnitt, ausgebildet. Der Sensor 10 könnte beispielsweise als Lichtschranke wirken. Die einzelnen Sensorbauteile 10a, 10b sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durch den Sensorspalt 13 voneinander getrennt. Über den Sensorspalt 13 erstreckt sich beispielsweise die Lichtschranke, so dass das Sensorelement 11 bei einem Eingreifen in den Sensorspalt 13 die Lichtschranke unterbricht. Der Sensor 10 könnte jedoch auch als ein elektrischer und/oder magnetischer Sensor ausgebildet sein. Der Sensor 10 erzeugt dabei insbesondere ein elektrisches und/oder magnetisches Feld, das, wenn das Sensorelement 11 in den Bereich des Sensors 10 eingreift, beeinflusst wird. Somit kann festgestellt werden, ob sich das Fixierelement 4 in der Fixierstellung befindet.The

Zum Beispiel könnte an dem Fortsatz 8 und/oder an dem Anschlag 9 ein Bolzen und an dem jeweiligen anderen Bauteil eine Öffnung angeordnet sein. Der Bolzen greift dabei in der Fixierstellung des Fixierelements 4 in die Öffnung ein. Somit ist die Verbindung zwischen dem Fortsatz 8 und dem Anschlag 9 als formschlüssige Verbindung ausgebildet.Between the
