The extending mast is designed as an inner mast. A load carrier, for example a fork carrier, is guided in the extending mast by means of support rollers.

Ein Triplex-Hubgerüst besteht aus drei Hubmasten. Ein erster Hubmast bildet einen Standmast, beispielsweise einen Außenmast, in dem ein zweiter Hubmast, der einen ersten Ausfahrmast bildet, mittels an dem Standmast angeordneter Stützrollen und an dem ersten Ausfahrmast angeordneter Stützrollen geführt. Der erste Ausfahrmast ist als Mittenmast ausgebildet. In dem ersten Ausfahrmast ist der dritte Hubmast, der als zweiter Ausfahrmast ausgebildet ist und einen Innenmast bildet, mittels weiterer an dem ersten Ausfahrmast und an dem zweiten Ausfahrmast angeordneter Stützrollen geführt. In dem zweiten Ausfahrmast ist der Lastträger mittels entsprechender Stützrollen geführt.A triplex mast consists of three masts. A first lifting mast forms a standing mast, for example an outer mast, in which a second lifting mast, which forms a first extending mast, is guided by means of support rollers arranged on the standing mast and support rollers arranged on the first extending mast. The first extension mast is designed as a central mast. In the first extending mast, the third lifting mast, which is designed as a second extending mast and forms an inner mast, is guided by means of further support rollers arranged on the first extending mast and on the second extending mast. In the second extension mast, the load carrier is guided by means of corresponding support rollers.

Die Hubmaste derartiger Hubgerüste, die die entsprechenden Standmaste oder Ausfahrmaste bilden, bestehen hierbei jeweils aus zwei seitlich beabstandeten Schienenprofilen, die mittels Querträgern zu einer tragfähigen Struktur verbunden sind. Die seitlich beabstandeten Schienenprofile der Hubmaste bilden hierbei eine rechte und linke Hubgerüstsäule des Hubgerüstes.The masts of such masts, which form the corresponding standing masts or extending masts, each consist of two laterally spaced rail profiles that are connected to a load-bearing structure by means of cross members. The laterally spaced apart rail profiles of the masts form a right and left mast column of the mast.

Bei bekannten Hubmasten sind die beiden Schienenprofile an jeweils einem Ende mittels eines Querträgers miteinander verbunden. Hierzu ist es bekannt, den Querträger mit den beiden Schienenprofilen mittels einer Schweißverbindung zu verbinden. An dem Hubmast sind zudem für die Stützrollen, mittels denen ein weiterer Hubmast eines Mehrfach-Hubgerüstes geführt ist, entsprechende Aufnahmezapfen angeordnet, auf denen die Stützrollen drehbar gelagert sind.In known lifting masts, the two rail profiles are connected to one another at one end by means of a cross member. For this purpose, it is known to connect the cross member to the two rail profiles by means of a welded connection. On the lifting mast, there are also corresponding receiving pins for the supporting rollers, by means of which a further lifting mast of a multiple lifting frame is guided, on which the supporting rollers are rotatably mounted.

Bei bekannten Hubmasten sind die beiden Schienenprofile an dem vertikal oberen Ende mittels eines als Kopfquerträgers ausgebildeten Querträgers miteinander verbunden. Im vertikal oberen Ende der Schienenprofile ist an diesen ebenfalls jeweils ein Aufnahmezapfen für eine Stützrolle angeordnet. Der als Kopfquerträger ausgebildete Querträger am vertikal oberen Ende der beiden Schienenprofile ermöglicht eine Abstützung der beiden Schienenprofile gegeneinander, da die beiden Schienenprofile des Hubmastes durch die Kräfte an den Stützrollen des Hubmastes auseinander gedrückt werden.In known lifting masts, the two rail profiles are connected to one another at the vertically upper end by means of a cross member designed as a head cross member. In the vertically upper end of the rail profiles, a receiving pin for a support roller is also arranged on these. The cross member formed as a head cross member at the vertically upper end of the two rail profiles enables the two rail profiles to be supported against one another, since the two rail profiles of the lifting mast are pushed apart by the forces on the support rollers of the lifting mast.

Bei bekannten Hubmasten erfolgt die Herstellung des Hubmastes in den folgenden Schritten. In einem ersten Schritt werden die Schienenprofile gereinigt, beispielsweise durch Sandstrahlen. In einem anschließenden zweiten Schritt werden die Schienenprofile gerichtet. In einem anschließenden dritten Schritt werden die Schienenprofile mechanisch bearbeitet, beispielsweise auf einem Bearbeitungszentrum. In einem anschließenden vierten Schritt werden die Schienenprofile und die Bauteile, die die Querträger bilden, in eine Schweißvorrichtung eingelegt und in einem anschließenden fünften Schritt alle Bauteile miteinander zu dem Hubmast verschweißt.In known lifting masts, the lifting mast is manufactured in the following steps. In a first step, the rail profiles are cleaned, for example by sandblasting. In a subsequent second step, the rail profiles are straightened. In a subsequent third step, the rail profiles are machined, for example on a machining center. In a subsequent fourth step, the rail profiles and the components that form the cross members are placed in a welding device and in a subsequent fifth step, all components are welded together to form the lifting mast.

Bei der mechanischen Bearbeitung werden in den Schienenprofilen jeweils eine Ausnehmung, beispielsweise eine Napffräsung, und mehrere Freimachungen hergestellt. Die Ausnehmung des Schienenprofils ist als Vorbereitung für das Anschweißen des Aufnahmezapfens der Stützrolle erforderlich. Die Freimachungen an dem Schienenprofil sind erforderlich, um einer Schweißpistole eine Zugänglichkeit zu ermöglichen, mit der der Aufnahmezapfen an dem Schienenprofil angeschweißt wird. Die Freimachungen an dem Schienenprofil dienen weiterhin der Montage der Hubmaste zu dem Hubgerüst.During the mechanical processing, a recess, for example a cup milling, and several frankings are produced in each of the rail profiles. The recess in the rail profile is required in preparation for the welding of the mounting pin of the support roller. The clearances on the rail profile are necessary in order to allow a welding gun accessibility with which the receiving pin is welded to the rail profile. The clearances on the rail profile are also used to assemble the lifting masts to the lifting frame.

Bei bekannten Hubmasten besteht der Querträger aus zwei Anschlussplatten und einer zwischen den Anschlussplatten angeordneten Verbindungsstrebe, wobei die Anschlussplatten jeweils an den Außenflächen der Schienenprofile angeordnet sind und mit diesen verschweißt werdenIn known lifting masts, the cross member consists of two connecting plates and a connecting strut arranged between the connecting plates, the connecting plates being arranged on the outer surfaces of the rail profiles and being welded to them

Bei bekannten Hubmasten werden nach der mechanischen Bearbeitung der Schienenprofile in dem vierten Schritt die Schienenprofile, die Aufnahmezapfen für die Stützrollen, die zwei Anschlussplatten und die Verbindungsstrebe, die den Querträger bilden, in die Schweißvorrichtung eingelegt. Sofern der Hubmast als Standmast ausgebildet ist, werden zudem noch mindestens ein Halter für ein Hubmittel in die Schweißvorrichtung eingelegt. Je nach Länge des Hubmastes kann es erforderlich sein, noch mindestens eine Ausknicksicherung für einen Hubzylinder in die Schweißvorrichtung einzulegen. Daran anschließend können in dem fünften Schritt alle Bauteile miteinander verschweißt werden.In known lifting masts, after the mechanical processing of the rail profiles, in the fourth step the rail profiles, the mounting pins for the support rollers, the two connecting plates and the connecting strut that form the cross member are inserted into the welding device. If the lifting mast is designed as a standing mast, at least one holder for a lifting means is also inserted into the welding device. Depending on the length of the lifting mast, it may be necessary to insert at least one anti-buckling device for a lifting cylinder in the welding device. Then, in the fifth step, all components can be welded together.

Bei bekannten Hubmasten ergeben sich die folgenden Nachteile.Known lifting masts have the following disadvantages.

Die mechanische Bearbeitung der Schienenprofile zur Herstellung der Ausnehmung und der Freimachungen führt zu einem hohen Herstellaufwand für die Schienenprofile.The mechanical processing of the rail profiles for the production of the recess and the clearings leads to a high production cost for the rail profiles.

Die Schweißverbindungen der Aufnahmezapfen für die Stützrollen mit den Schienenprofilen stellen die höchstbelasteten Stellen in dem Hubmast dar und sind entsprechend aufwändig in der Herstellung, um eine hohe Betriebsfestigkeit zu erzielen und einen späteren Anriss oder Ausfall der Schweißverbindung zu verhindern.The welded connections of the locating pins for the support rollers with the rail profiles represent the most heavily loaded areas in the lifting mast and are correspondingly complex to manufacture in order to achieve a high level of operational stability and to prevent the welded connection from cracking or failing later.

Das zusätzliche Anschweißen der Ausknicksicherungen für die Hubzylinder und/oder das zusätzliche Anschweißen der Halter für das Hubmittel stellt einen zusätzlichen Schweißinhalt dar, der zu einem verlängerten Schweißvorgang des Hubmastes führt.The additional welding of the buckling protection for the lifting cylinder and / or the additional welding of the holder for the lifting means represents an additional welding content, which leads to an extended welding process of the lifting mast.

Das seitliche Aufsetzen der Anschlussplatten des Querträgers an die Außenflächen der Schienenprofile führt zu einer seitlichen Aufdickung der Bauteilstärken und zu einer Sichtbehinderung eines Fahrers des Flurförderzeugs auf den Lastträger mit dem Lastaufnahmemittel.The lateral placement of the connecting plates of the cross member on the outer surfaces of the rail profiles leads to a lateral thickening of the component thickness and to a A driver of the industrial truck obstructs the view of the load carrier with the load handler.

Bei einem Standmast, der gegenüber einem Ausfahrmast zusätzlich mit der Ausknicksicherung für die Hubzylinder und den Haltern für das Hubmittel versehen sind, führt der verlängerte Schweißvorgang im Herstellungsprozess zudem zu einer erhöhten Taktzeit und somit einer erhöhten Produktionszeit des Standmastes gegenüber einem Ausfahrmast. Dies führt insgesamt zu hohen Herstellkosten eines als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmastes.In the case of a standing mast, which, compared to an extending mast, is additionally provided with the buckling protection for the lifting cylinder and the holders for the lifting means, the extended welding process in the manufacturing process also leads to an increased cycle time and thus an increased production time of the standing mast compared to an extending mast. Overall, this leads to high manufacturing costs for a lifting mast designed as a standing mast.

Aus der DE 10 2007 061 369 A1 und der DE 20 2007 003 491 U1 ist jeweils ein gattungsgemäßer Hubmast eines Flurförderzeugs bekannt.From the DE 10 2007 061 369 A1 and the DE 20 2007 003 491 U1 each a generic mast of an industrial truck is known.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Hubmast der eingangs genannten Gattung zur Verfügung zu stellen, der hinsichtlich der Herstellung vereinfacht ist und eine verbesserte Sicht des Fahrers des Flurförderzeugs auf einen Lastträger ermöglicht.The present invention is based on the object of providing a lifting mast of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is simplified in terms of manufacture and enables the driver of the industrial truck to have an improved view of a load carrier.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Querträger mit einer Stirnfläche stumpf nur auf die Stirnflächen der beiden Schienenprofile aufgesetzt ist und mittels einer im Bereich der aufeinanderliegenden Stirnflächen ausgebildeten Schweißverbindung mit den Schienenprofilen verbunden ist, wobei die Schweißverbindung zwischen Querträger und Schienenprofil jeweils als umfangsseitig geschlossene Ringschweißnaht um die aufeinanderliegenden Stirnflächen ausgebildet. Der Querträger ist mit den Aufnahmezapfen für die Stützrollen des Hubmastes versehen und die Stirnfläche des Querträgers sowie die Stirnflächen der beiden Schienenprofile sind als komplementäre Flächen ausgebildet, die es ermöglichen, den Querträger mit der Stirnfläche stumpf auf die Stirnflächen der beiden Schienenprofile aufzusetzen und mittels einer Schweißverbindung im Bereich der aufeinanderliegenden Stirnflächen mit den beiden Schienenprofilen zu verbinden. Die Anbringung der Aufnahmezapfen für die Stützrollen an dem Querträger ermöglicht es, auf die mechanische Bearbeitung der beiden Schienenprofile zu verzichten, da an den beiden Schienenprofilen keine Ausnehmung und keine Freimachungen hergestellt werden müssen. Dadurch vereinfacht sich die Herstellung der beiden Schienenprofile und somit die Herstellung des Hubmastes. Das stumpfe Aufsetzen des Querträgers auf die Stirnflächen der beiden Schienenprofile führt zu keiner seitlichen Aufdickung der Bauteilstärken, so dass der erfindungsgemäße Hubmast eine verbesserte Sicht des Fahrers des Flurförderzeugs auf den Lastträger mit dem Lastaufnahmemittel aufweist. Das stumpfe Aufsetzen des Querträgers auf die Stirnflächen der beiden Schienenprofile ermöglicht es, die Schweißverbindung zwischen Querträger und dem jeweiligen Schienenprofil jeweils als Ringnaht auszuführen, so dass der Querträger mittels zwei Ringnähten mit den beiden Schienenprofilen verbunden wird. Derartige umfangsseitig geschlossene Ringnähte weisen eine einfache Herstellung auf und ermöglichen eine hohe Festigkeit der Schweißverbindung zwischen Querträger und den beiden Schienenprofilen.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the cross member is only butt-mounted with one end face on the end faces of the two rail profiles and is connected to the rail profiles by means of a welded connection formed in the area of the superposed end faces, the welded joint between cross member and rail profile each being closed on the circumference Ring weld seam formed around the end faces lying on top of one another. The cross member is provided with the receiving pin for the support rollers of the lifting mast and the end face of the cross member and the end faces of the two rail profiles are designed as complementary surfaces that allow the cross member with the end face to be butted onto the end faces of the two rail profiles and by means of a welded connection to be connected to the two rail profiles in the area of the end faces lying on top of one another. The attachment of the receiving pins for the support rollers to the cross member makes it possible to dispense with the mechanical processing of the two rail profiles, since no recess and no clearances have to be made on the two rail profiles. This simplifies the manufacture of the two rail profiles and thus the manufacture of the lifting mast. The blunt placement of the cross member on the end faces of the two rail profiles do not result in any lateral thickening of the component thicknesses, so that the lifting mast according to the invention has an improved view for the driver of the industrial truck on the load carrier with the load handling device. The butt fitting of the cross member on the end faces of the two rail profiles enables the welded connection between the cross member and the respective rail profile to be designed as a ring seam, so that the cross member is connected to the two rail profiles by means of two ring seams. Such circumferentially closed ring seams are easy to manufacture and allow a high strength of the welded connection between the cross member and the two rail profiles.

Der Querträger weist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung zwei seitliche Außenplatten und eine die Außenplatten verbindende Verbindungsstrebe auf, wobei die Außenplatten mit der Stirnfläche versehen sind. Aus zwei Außenplatten und einer Verbindungsstrebe kann auf einfache Weise ein Querträger zusammengesetzt werden. An den Außenplatten kann auf einfache Weise die Stirnfläche ausgebildet werden, mit der der Querträger stumpf auf die die Stirnflächen der beiden Schienenprofile aufgesetzt werden kann.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cross member has two lateral outer plates and a connecting strut connecting the outer plates, the outer plates being provided with the end face. A cross member can easily be assembled from two outer plates and a connecting strut. The end face with which the cross member can be butted onto the end faces of the two rail profiles can be formed in a simple manner on the outer plates.

Besondere Vorteile ergeben sich, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung an den Außenplatten jeweils ein Aufnahmezapfen für die Stützrollen ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein verbesserter Kraftfluss, da die Kräfte der Stützrollen nicht mehr über die Schweißverbindung zwischen dem Querträger und den Schienenprofilen geführt werden.Particular advantages result if, according to a further development of the invention, a receiving pin for the support rollers is formed on each of the outer plates. This results in an improved flow of forces, since the forces of the support rollers are no longer guided via the welded connection between the cross member and the rail profiles.

Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung der Aufnahmezapfen an der Außenplatte einstückig ausgebildet ist. Durch eine einstückige Ausbildung der Aufnahmezapfen an den Außenplatten und somit einer integralen Ausbildung der Aufnahmezapfen an den Außenplatten des Querträgers sind keine Schweißverbindungen für die Befestigung der Aufnahmezapfen der Stützrollen erforderlich. Hierdurch wird der Schweißvorgang weiter vereinfacht, was zu einer Verringerung des Bauaufwandes des Hubmastes führt. Der Entfall der Schweißverbindungen an den Aufnahmezapfen führt weiterhin zu einer erhöhten Betriebsfestigkeit des Hubmastes.Further advantages result if, according to a further development of the invention, the receiving pin is formed in one piece on the outer plate. As a result of the one-piece design of the mounting pins on the outer plates and thus an integral design of the mounting pins on the outer plates of the cross member, no welded connections are required for fastening the mounting pins of the support rollers. This further simplifies the welding process, which leads to a reduction in the construction cost of the lifting mast. The omission of the welded connections on the receiving pins also leads to an increased operational stability of the lifting mast.

Mit besonderem Vorteil sind gemäß einer Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung die Außenplatten jeweils als Schmiedebauteile oder Gussbauteile ausgebildet, an denen jeweils ein Aufnahmezapfen angeformt ist. Die Außenplatten können als Schmiedeteile oder als Gussbauteile mit geringem Bauaufwand hergestellt werden und ermöglichen es auf einfache Weise, einen entsprechenden Aufnahmezapfen für eine Stützrolle an der Außenplatte integral anzuformen, so dass keine Schweißverbindung für die Befestigung des Aufnahmezapfens an der entsprechenden Außenplatte erforderlich ist.According to one embodiment of the invention, the outer plates are particularly advantageously designed as forged components or cast components, on each of which a receiving pin is molded. The outer plates can be manufactured as forged parts or as cast components with little construction effort and make it possible in a simple manner to integrally form a corresponding receiving pin for a support roller on the outer plate, so that no welded connection is required for fastening the receiving pin to the corresponding outer plate.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung weist das Schienenprofil jeweils einen U-förmigen Querschnitt auf, der zwei Außenstege und einen die Außenstege verbindenden Flansch aufweist, wobei die Außenplatte an der Stirnfläche einen U-förmigen Querschnitt aufweist, der zwei Außenstege und einen die Außenstege verbindenden Flansch aufweist, wobei der U-förmigen Querschnitt an der Stirnfläche der Außenplatte an den U-förmigen Querschnitt des Schienenprofils angepasst ist. Der Querträger ist somit an der Stirnfläche der Außenplatten an die Form und den Querschnitt der Schienenprofile angepasst. Bevorzugt entsprechen die U-förmigen Querschnitte an der Stirnfläche der Außenplatten des Querträgers den U-förmigen Querschnitten an den Schienenprofilen. Hierdurch werden auf einfache Weise erzielt, dass der Querträger die Schienenprofile seitlich nicht überragt und somit zu keiner Sichtbeeinträchtigung des Fahrers des Flurförderzeugs auf den Lastträger mit dem Lastaufnahmemittel führt. Zudem werden hierdurch fertigungstechnische Vorteile erzielt, da die Ringnähte einfach und mit geringem Bauaufwand angebracht werden können.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the rail profile each has a U-shaped cross section, which has two outer webs and a flange connecting the outer webs, the outer plate having a U-shaped cross section at the end face, the two outer webs and a flange connecting the outer webs having, wherein the U-shaped cross section at the end face of the outer plate is adapted to the U-shaped cross section of the rail profile. The cross member is thus adapted to the shape and cross section of the rail profiles at the end face of the outer plates. The U-shaped cross-sections on the end face of the outer plates of the cross member preferably correspond to the U-shaped cross-sections on the rail profiles. In this way it is achieved in a simple manner that the cross member does not protrude laterally beyond the rail profiles and thus does not impair the driver of the industrial truck's view of the load carrier with the load handling device. In addition, advantages in terms of manufacturing technology are achieved as a result, since the ring seams can be attached easily and with little construction effort.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung weist das Schienenprofil jeweils einen E-förmigen Querschnitt auf, der zwei Außenstege und einen die Außenstege verbindenden Flansch aufweist, wobei an dem Flansch ein zwischen den Außenstegen liegender Mittensteg ausgebildet ist, wobei die Außenplatte an der Stirnfläche einen U-förmigen Querschnitt aufweist, der zwei Außenstege und einen die Außenstege verbindenden Flansch aufweist, wobei der U-förmige Querschnitt an der Stirnfläche der Außenplatte an die von den beiden Außenstegen und dem Flansch gebildeten Fläche des Schienenprofils angepasst ist. Der Querträger ist somit an der Stirnfläche der Außenplatten an die Form und den Querschnitt der Schienenprofile angelehnt. Bevorzugt entsprechen die U-förmigen Querschnitte an der Stirnfläche der Außenplatten des Querträgers der von den beiden Außenstegen und dem Flansch gebildeten Fläche des Schienenprofils und entsprechen somit den E-förmigen Querschnitten an den Schienenprofilen bis auf die zusätzlichen Mittenstege. Hierdurch werden auf einfache Weise erzielt, dass der Querträger die Schienenprofile seitlich nicht überragt und somit zu keiner Sichtbeeinträchtigung des Fahrers des Flurförderzeugs auf den Lastträger mit dem Lastaufnahmemittel führt. Zudem werden hierdurch fertigungstechnische Vorteile erzielt, da die Ringnähte einfach und mit geringem Bauaufwand angebracht werden können.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the rail profile in each case has an E-shaped cross section, which has two outer webs and a flange connecting the outer webs, with a central web lying between the outer webs being formed on the flange, the outer plate having a U on the end face. has shaped cross-section, which has two outer webs and a flange connecting the outer webs, wherein the U-shaped cross section at the end face of the outer plate is adapted to the surface of the rail profile formed by the two outer webs and the flange. The cross member is thus based on the shape and cross section of the rail profiles on the end face of the outer plates. The U-shaped cross-sections on the end face of the outer plates of the cross member preferably correspond to those of the two outer webs and the flange formed area of the rail profile and thus correspond to the E-shaped cross-sections on the rail profiles except for the additional central webs. In this way it is achieved in a simple manner that the cross member does not protrude laterally beyond the rail profiles and thus does not impair the driver of the industrial truck's view of the load carrier with the load handling device. In addition, advantages in terms of manufacturing technology are achieved as a result, since the ring seams can be attached easily and with little construction effort.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Querträger mit mindestens einer Befestigungsschnittstelle für einen Neigezylinder versehen. Hierdurch können an dem Querträger weitere Funktionen wie die Befestigung der Neigezylinder zum Neigen des Hubgerüstes integriert werden, so dass sich der Bauaufwand des Hubmastes weiter verringern lässt.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the cross member is provided with at least one fastening interface for a tilt cylinder. As a result, further functions such as the attachment of the tilting cylinder for tilting the lifting frame can be integrated on the cross member, so that the construction costs of the lifting mast can be further reduced.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Querträger mit zumindest einem Halter für ein Hubmittel versehen. Hierdurch erhöht sich die Funktionsintegration in den Querträger noch weiter, so dass sich der Bauaufwand des Hubmastes weiter verringern lässt.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the cross member is provided with at least one holder for a lifting means. This increases the functional integration in the cross member even further, so that the construction cost of the lifting mast can be further reduced.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Querträger mit zumindest einer Ausknicksicherung für einen Hubzylinder versehen. Hierdurch erhöht sich die Funktionsintegration in den Querträger noch weiter, so dass sich der Bauaufwand des Hubmastes weiter verringern lässt.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the cross member is provided with at least one buckling protection for a lifting cylinder. This increases the functional integration in the cross member even further, so that the construction cost of the lifting mast can be further reduced.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Querträger mit einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung versehen ist. Hierdurch erhöht sich die Funktionsintegration in den Querträger noch weiter, so dass sich der Bauaufwand des Hubmastes weiter verringern lässt.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the cross member is provided with a lighting device. This increases the functional integration in the cross member even further, so that the construction cost of the lifting mast can be further reduced.

Der Querträger ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung als Vormontagebaugruppe, insbesondere als Vorschweißbaugruppe, ausgebildet. Dies führt zu einer weiteren Vereinfachung der Herstellung des Hubmastes, da der Querträger als Vormontagebaugruppe unabhängig von dem restlichen Hubmast hergestellt und zusammengebaut werden kann. Sofern der Hubmast als Standmast ausgebildet ist und an dem Querträger zumindest ein Halter für ein Hubmittel und/oder zumindest eine Ausknicksicherung für einen Hubzylinder angebracht werden muss, ermöglicht die Ausführung des Querträgers als fertig zusammengebaute Vormontagebaugruppe die Schweißzeiten beim Verschweißen des Hubmasten zu verkürzen, da nur die Ringnähte anzubringen sind, um den fertigen Querträger mit den Schienenprofilen zu verbinden. Die Ausführung des Querträgers als Vormontagebaugruppe ermöglicht es somit auch, durch die Verkürzung der Schweißzeiten bei der Herstellung des Standmastes die Taktzeiten für die Herstellung eines Standmastes an die Taktzeiten eines Ausfahrmastes anzugleichen. Dies führt insgesamt zu einer Verringerung der Herstellkosten eines als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmastes.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the cross member is designed as a pre-assembly assembly, in particular as a pre-weld assembly. This leads to a further simplification of the manufacture of the lifting mast, since the cross member can be manufactured and assembled as a preassembly assembly independently of the rest of the lifting mast. If the lifting mast is designed as a standing mast and at least one holder for a lifting means and / or on the cross member At least one kink protection for a lifting cylinder has to be attached, the execution of the cross member as a fully assembled pre-assembly group enables the welding times to be shortened when welding the lifting mast, since only the ring seams have to be attached to connect the finished cross member to the rail profiles. The design of the cross member as a pre-assembly assembly also enables the cycle times for the production of a standing mast to be matched to the cycle times of an extending mast by shortening the welding times in the manufacture of the standing mast. Overall, this leads to a reduction in the manufacturing costs of a lifting mast designed as a standing mast.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Hubmast als Standmast ausgebildet. Bei einem als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmast lassen sich durch den erfindungsgemäßen Querträger und dessen erfindungsgemäßes Verbinden mit den Schienenprofile besondere Vorteile erzielen, insbesondere bei der Ausführung des Querträgers als Vormontagebaugruppe, der mit zumindest einem Halter für ein Hubmittel und/oder zumindest einer Ausknicksicherung für einen Hubzylinder versehen ist.The lifting mast is expediently designed as a standing mast. In the case of a lifting mast designed as a standing mast, the cross member according to the invention and its inventive connection to the rail profiles can achieve particular advantages, especially when the cross member is designed as a pre-assembly assembly that is provided with at least one holder for a lifting means and / or at least one anti-buckling device for a lifting cylinder is.

Der Querträger ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung als Kopfquerträger am vertikal oberen Ende der Schienenprofile ausgebildet. Bei der Ausführung des Querträgers als Kopfquerträger eines Hubmastes lassen sich durch den erfindungsgemäßen Querträger und dessen erfindungsgemäßes Verbinden mit den Schienenprofile besondere Vorteile erzielen, insbesondere bei der Ausführung des Querträgers als Vormontagebaugruppe, der mit zumindest einem Halter für ein Hubmittel und/oder zumindest einer Ausknicksicherung für einen Hubzylinder versehen ist.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cross member is designed as a head cross member at the vertically upper end of the rail profiles.

In der Figur 1 ist ein als Standmast eines Hubgerüstes eines Flurförderzeugs ausgebildeter Hubmast 1 des Standes der Technik dargestellt. In der Figur 1 ist der vertikal obere Bereich des Hubmastes 1 dargestellt.In the Figure 1 a lifting mast 1 of the prior art, designed as a standing mast of a mast of an industrial truck, is shown. In the Figure 1 the vertical upper area of the mast 1 is shown.

Der Hubmast 1 weist zwei seitlich beabstandete Schienenprofile 2a, 2b auf, die am vertikal oberen Ende mittels eines einen Kopfquerträger 3a bildenden Querträgers 3 zu einer tragfähigen Struktur verbunden sind. Der Querträger 3 sorgt für eine Abstützung der beiden Schienenprofile 2a, 2b gegeneinander, so dass die Schienenprofile 2a, 2b nicht durch auftretende Kräfte auseinander gedrückt werden. Das Schienenprofil 2a des Hubmastes 1 bildet hierbei eine linke Hubgerüstsäule des Hubgerüstes und das Schienenprofil 2b des Hubmastes 1 eine rechte Hubgerüstsäule des Hubgerüstes. Der Hubmast 1 ist als Außenmast des Hubgerüstes ausgebildet.The lifting mast 1 has two laterally spaced apart rail profiles 2a, 2b which are connected at the vertically upper end by means of a cross member 3 forming a head cross member 3a to form a load-bearing structure. The cross member 3 ensures that the two rail profiles 2a, 2b are supported against one another, so that the rail profiles 2a, 2b are not pressed apart by forces that occur. The rail profile 2a of the mast 1 forms a left mast column of the mast and the rail profile 2b of the mast 1 forms a right mast column of the mast. The lifting mast 1 is designed as an outer mast of the lifting frame.

Der Querträger 3 bei dem Hubmast 1 des Standes der Technik ist von zwei Anschlussplatten 4a, 4b und einer zwischen den Anschlussplatten 4a, 4b angeordneten Verbindungsstrebe 5 gebildet. Die Verbindungsstrebe 5 ist beispielsweise als Stange oder Rohr ausgebildet. Die Anschlussplatten 4a, 4b sind jeweils an der Außenflächen des entsprechenden Schienenprofils 2a, 2b angeordnet und werden mit dem entsprechenden Schienenprofil 2a, 2b jeweils durch eine Schweißverbindung verbunden.The cross member 3 in the lifting mast 1 of the prior art is formed by two connection plates 4a, 4b and a connecting strut 5 arranged between the connection plates 4a, 4b. The connecting strut 5 is designed, for example, as a rod or tube. The connection plates 4a, 4b are each arranged on the outer surface of the corresponding rail profile 2a, 2b and are each connected to the corresponding rail profile 2a, 2b by a welded connection.

Bei dem Hubmast 1 ist an jedem Schienenprofil 2a, 2b im Bereich des oberen Endes ein Aufnahmezapfen 6 angeschweißt, auf dem eine nicht näher dargestellte Stützrolle drehbar angeordnet werden kann. In der Figur 1 ist nur der an dem Schienenprofil 2b angeordnet Aufnahmezapfen 6 dargestellt. An dem Schienenprofil 2a ist analog ein Aufnahmezapfen 6 angeordnet. Die Aufnahmezapfen 6 mit den darauf drehbar angeordneten Stützrollen an den beiden Schienenprofilen 2a, 2b dienen zur Führung eines Ausfahrmastes des Hubgerüstes, der in dem Hubmast 1 angehoben und abgesenkt werden kann.In the lifting mast 1, a receiving pin 6 is welded to each rail profile 2a, 2b in the area of the upper end, on which a support roller (not shown in detail) can be rotatably arranged. In the Figure 1 only the receiving pin 6 arranged on the rail profile 2b is shown. A receiving pin 6 is arranged analogously on the rail profile 2a. The receiving pin 6 with the rotatable on it arranged support rollers on the two rail profiles 2a, 2b are used to guide an extending mast of the lifting frame, which can be raised and lowered in the lifting mast 1.

Bei dem als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmast 1 der Figur 1 sind weiterhin an der Verbindungsstrebe 5 des Querträgers 3 zwei Halter 7 für ein nicht näher dargestelltes Hubmittel angeschweißt. An dem Halter 7 ist das Hubmittel, beispielsweise eine Hubkette, das zum Anheben eines Ausfahrmastes des Hubgerüstes dient, mit einem ersten Ende befestigt. In der Figur 1 ist nur ein Halter 7 im Bereich des Schienenprofils 2b dargestellt. Im Bereich des Schienenprofils 2a ist analog ein zweiter Halter 7 angeordnet.When the mast 1 designed as a standing mast Figure 1 are also welded to the connecting strut 5 of the cross member 3, two holders 7 for a lifting means not shown in detail. The lifting means, for example a lifting chain, which is used to raise an extending mast of the lifting frame, is fastened at a first end to the holder 7. In the Figure 1 only one holder 7 is shown in the area of the rail profile 2b. Similarly, a second holder 7 is arranged in the area of the rail profile 2a.

Bei dem als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmast 1 der Figur 1 sind weiterhin an den Anschlussplatten 4a, 4b jeweils eine Ausknicksicherung 8 für einen Hubzylinder angeschweißt, mit denen die an dem Hubmast 1 angeordneten Hubzylinder gegen Ausknicken gesichert werden können.When the mast 1 designed as a standing mast Figure 1 A buckling lock 8 for a lifting cylinder is also welded to the connection plates 4a, 4b, with which the lifting cylinders arranged on the lifting mast 1 can be secured against buckling.

Bei dem Hubmast 1 des Standes der Technik gemäß der Figur 1 erfolgt die Herstellung des Hubmastes 1 in den folgenden Schritten.In the lifting mast 1 of the prior art according to FIG Figure 1 the production of the mast 1 takes place in the following steps.

In einem ersten Schritt werden die Schienenprofile 2a, 2b gereinigt, beispielsweise durch Sandstrahlen.In a first step, the rail profiles 2a, 2b are cleaned, for example by sandblasting.

In einem anschließenden zweiten Schritt werden die Schienenprofile 2a, 2b gerichtet.In a subsequent second step, the rail profiles 2a, 2b are straightened.

In einem anschließenden dritten Schritt werden die Schienenprofile 2a, 2b mechanisch bearbeitet, beispielsweise auf einem Bearbeitungszentrum. Bei der mechanischen Bearbeitung werden in den Schienenprofilen 2a, 2b - wie in der Figur 2 näher dargestellt ist, in der ein oberes Ende des Schienenprofils 2a, 2b mit den Inhalten der mechanischen Bearbeitung näher dargestellt ist - jeweils eine Ausnehmung 10, beispielsweise eine Napffräsung, und mehrere Freimachungen 11, 12 an den Stegen des U-förmigen Schienenprofils 2a, 2b hergestellt. Die Ausnehmung 10 in den Schienenprofilen 2a, 2b ist als Vorbereitung für das Anschweißen des entsprechenden Aufnahmezapfens 6 der Stützrolle erforderlich. Die Freimachungen 11, 12 an den seitlichen Stegen des Schienenprofils 2a, 2b sind erforderlich, um einer Schweißpistole eine Zugänglichkeit zu ermöglichen, mit der der Hubmast 1 zusammengeschweißt wird. Die Freimachungen 11, 12 werden auch benötigt, um eine spätere Montage eines weiteren Mastes an dem Standmast 1 zu ermöglichen.In a subsequent third step, the rail profiles 2a, 2b are machined, for example on a machining center. During the mechanical processing in the rail profiles 2a, 2b - as in the Figure 2 is shown in more detail, in which an upper end of the rail profile 2a, 2b with the contents of the mechanical processing is shown in more detail - each with a recess 10, for example a cup milling, and several clearances 11, 12 on the webs of the U-shaped rail profile 2a, 2b manufactured. The recess 10 in the rail profiles 2a, 2b is required in preparation for the welding of the corresponding receiving pin 6 of the support roller. The clearances 11, 12 on the lateral webs of the rail profile 2a, 2b are required to use a welding gun to enable accessibility with which the lifting mast 1 is welded together. The frankings 11, 12 are also required in order to enable a later installation of a further mast on the standing mast 1.

In einem anschließenden vierten Schritt werden die beiden mechanisch bearbeiteten Schienenprofile 2a, 2b, die Anschlussplatten 4a, 4b, die Verbindungsstrebe 5, die den Querträger 3 bilden, die beiden Aufnahmezapfen 6, die beiden Halter 7 und die beiden Ausknicksicherungen 8 in eine Schweißvorrichtung eingelegt.In a subsequent fourth step, the two mechanically processed rail profiles 2a, 2b, the connection plates 4a, 4b, the connecting strut 5 that form the cross member 3, the two mounting pins 6, the two holders 7 and the two buckling locks 8 are inserted into a welding device.

In einem anschließenden fünften Schritt alle oben genannten Bauteile miteinander zu dem Hubmast 1 verschweißt.In a subsequent fifth step, all of the above-mentioned components are welded together to form the lifting mast 1.

Bei bekannten Hubmasten 1 der Figuren 1 und 2 ergeben sich die folgenden Nachteile.In known masts 1 of the Figures 1 and 2 there are the following disadvantages.

Die mechanische Bearbeitung der Schienenprofile 2a, 2b zur Herstellung der Ausnehmung 10 und der Freimachungen 11, 12 führt zu einem hohen Herstellaufwand für die Schienenprofile 2a, 2b.The mechanical processing of the rail profiles 2a, 2b to produce the recess 10 and the clearances 11, 12 leads to a high production cost for the rail profiles 2a, 2b.

Die Schweißverbindungen zur Befestigung der Aufnahmezapfen 6 für die Stützrollen an den Schienenprofilen 2a, 2b stellen die höchstbelasteten Stellen in dem Hubmast 1 dar und ist entsprechend aufwändig in der Herstellung, um eine hohe Betriebsfestigkeit zu erzielen.The welded connections for fastening the mounting pins 6 for the support rollers to the rail profiles 2a, 2b represent the most heavily loaded points in the lifting mast 1 and are correspondingly complex to manufacture in order to achieve high operational strength.

Das zusätzliche Anschweißen der Ausknicksicherungen 8 für die Hubzylinder stellt einen zusätzlichen Schweißinhalt dar, der zu einem verlängerten Schweißvorgang des Hubmastes 1 bei dessen Herstellung führt. Dasselbe gilt für die Halter 7 des Hubmittels. Bei einem als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmast 1, der mit den beiden Haltern 7 und den beiden Ausknicksicherungen 8 versehen ist, ergibt sich daher ein entsprechend langer Schweißvorgang im fünften Schritt bei der Herstellung des Hubmastes 1.The additional welding of the buckling safeguards 8 for the lifting cylinders represents additional welding content which leads to a prolonged welding process of the lifting mast 1 during its manufacture. The same applies to the holder 7 of the lifting means. In the case of a lifting mast 1 designed as a standing mast, which is provided with the two holders 7 and the two buckling safeguards 8, a correspondingly long welding process results in the fifth step in the manufacture of the lifting mast 1.

Das seitliche Aufsetzen der Anschlussplatten 4a, 4b des Querträgers 3 an die Außenflächen der Schienenprofile 2a, 2b führt zu einer seitlichen Aufdickung der Bauteilstärken, so dass die Breite des Hubmastes 1 im Bereich des Querträgers 3 durch die Dicke der Anschlussplatten 4a, 4b zunimmt. Dies führt zu einer Sichtbehinderung eines Fahrers des Flurförderzeugs auf den Lastträger mit dem Lastaufnahmemittel.The lateral placement of the connection plates 4a, 4b of the cross member 3 on the outer surfaces of the rail profiles 2a, 2b leads to a lateral thickening of the component thicknesses, so that the width of the lifting mast 1 in the area of the cross member 3 increases due to the thickness of the connection plates 4a, 4b. This leads to a A driver of the industrial truck obstructs the view of the load carrier with the load handler.

Die zusätzlichen Schweißinhalte bei einem als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmast 1, der gegenüber einem als Ausfahrmast ausgebildeten Hubmast zusätzlich mit den Ausknicksicherungen 8 für die Hubzylinder und den Haltern 7 für das Hubmittel versehen ist, die zu verschweißen sind, führen zu verlängerten Schweißzeiten und somit zu einem verlängerten Schweißvorgang im Herstellungsprozess des Standmastes und zudem zu erhöhten Taktzeiten und somit einer erhöhten Produktionszeit des Standmastes gegenüber einem Ausfahrmast. Dies führt insgesamt zu hohen Herstellkosten eines als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmastes 1.The additional welding content in a lifting mast 1 designed as a standing mast, which, compared to a lifting mast designed as an extending mast, is additionally provided with the buckling safeguards 8 for the lifting cylinders and the holders 7 for the lifting means, which are to be welded, lead to longer welding times and thus to an extended one Welding process in the manufacturing process of the standing mast and also to increased cycle times and thus an increased production time of the standing mast compared to an extending mast. Overall, this leads to high manufacturing costs for a lifting mast 1 designed as a standing mast.

In den Figuren 3 bis 5 ist ein als Standmast eines Hubgerüstes eines Flurförderzeugs ausgebildeter erfindungsgemäßer Hubmast 101 dargestellt. In der Figur 1 ist der vertikal obere Bereich des Hubmastes 101 dargestellt.In the Figures 3 to 5 a lifting mast 101 according to the invention is shown, designed as a standing mast of a lifting frame of an industrial truck. In the Figure 1 the vertical upper area of the mast 101 is shown.

Der Hubmast 101 weist zwei seitlich beabstandete Schienenprofile 102a, 102b auf, die am vertikal oberen Ende mittels eines einen Kopfquerträger 103a bildenden Querträgers 103 zu einer tragfähigen Struktur verbunden sind. Der Querträger 103 sorgt für eine Abstützung der beiden Schienenprofile 102a, 102b gegeneinander, so dass die Schienenprofile 102a, 102b nicht durch auftretende Kräfte auseinander gedrückt werden. Das Schienenprofil 102a des Hubmastes 101 bildet hierbei eine linke Hubgerüstsäule des Hubgerüstes und das Schienenprofil 102b des Hubmastes 101 eine rechte Hubgerüstsäule des Hubgerüstes. Der Hubmast 101 ist als Außenmast des Hubgerüstes ausgebildet.The lifting mast 101 has two laterally spaced apart rail profiles 102a, 102b, which are connected at the vertically upper end by means of a cross member 103 forming a head cross member 103a to form a load-bearing structure. The cross member 103 ensures that the two rail profiles 102a, 102b are supported against one another, so that the rail profiles 102a, 102b are not pressed apart by forces that occur. The rail profile 102a of the mast 101 forms a left mast column of the mast and the rail profile 102b of the mast 101 forms a right mast column of the mast. The lifting mast 101 is designed as an outer mast of the lifting frame.

Der Querträger 103 des erfindungsgemäßen Hubmastes 101, der in der Figur 4 vergrößert dargestellt ist, weist zwei seitliche Außenplatten 104a, 104b und eine die Außenplatten 104a, 104b verbindende Verbindungsstrebe 105 auf. Die zwischen den beiden Außenplatten 104a, 104b angeordnete Verbindungsstrebe 105 ist beispielsweise als Stange oder Rohr ausgebildet. Der Querträger 105 weist weiterhin zwei Halter 107 für ein Hubmittel auf. Die beiden Halter 107 sind im Bereich der Verbindungsstrebe 105 angeordnet.The cross member 103 of the mast 101 according to the invention, which in the Figure 4 is shown enlarged, has two lateral outer plates 104a, 104b and a connecting strut 105 connecting the outer plates 104a, 104b. The connecting strut 105 arranged between the two outer plates 104a, 104b is designed, for example, as a rod or tube. The cross member 105 also has two holders 107 for a lifting means. The two holders 107 are arranged in the area of the connecting strut 105.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Querträger 103 sind die Aufnahmezapfen 106 für die Stützrollen an dem Querträger 103 angeordnet. An den Außenplatten 104a, 104b ist hierzu jeweils ein Aufnahmezapfen 106 für eine Stützrolle ausgebildet In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist ein entsprechender Aufnahmezapfen 106 an der Außenplatte 104a dargestellt. An der Außenplatte 104b ist analog ein Aufnahmezapfen 106 angeordnet.In the case of the cross member 103 according to the invention, the receiving pins 106 for the support rollers are arranged on the cross member 103. For this purpose, a receiving pin 106 for a support roller is formed on each of the outer plates 104a, 104b Figures 3 and 4th a corresponding receiving pin 106 is shown on the outer plate 104a. A receiving pin 106 is arranged analogously on the outer plate 104b.

Der Aufnahmezapfen 106 ist bevorzugt an der entsprechenden Außenplatte 104a, 104b einstückig ausgebildet ist. Die Außenplatten 104a, 104b können hierzu jeweils als Schmiedebauteile oder Gussbauteile ausgebildet sein, an denen der entsprechende Aufnahmezapfen 106 einstückig angeformt ist.The receiving pin 106 is preferably formed in one piece on the corresponding outer plate 104a, 104b. For this purpose, the outer plates 104a, 104b can each be designed as forged components or cast components, on which the corresponding receiving pin 106 is integrally formed.

Der erfindungsgemäße Querträger 103 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weiterhin mit mindestens einer Befestigungsschnittstelle 110 für einen Neigezylinder versehen, mittels dem der an dem Flurförderzeug angebaute Hubmast 101 um eine horizontale Achse neigbar ist. Die Befestigungsschnittstelle 110 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils von einer an den Anschlussplatten 104a, 104b angeordneten Anlagefläche 111 und einer Gewindebohrung 112 gebildet. In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist nur die Befestigungsschnittstelle 110 an der Anschlussplatte 104b für einen ersten Neigezylinder dargestellt. Die Anschlussplatte 104a ist analog mit einer entsprechenden Befestigungsschnittstelle 110 für einen zweiten Neigezylinder versehen. Es versteht sich, dass an dem erfindungsgemäßen Querträger 103 die Befestigungsschnittstelle 110 für den Neigezylinder nur optional erforderlich ist und alternativ auch weggelassen werden kann.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the cross member 103 according to the invention is also provided with at least one fastening interface 110 for a tilting cylinder, by means of which the lifting mast 101 attached to the industrial truck can be tilted about a horizontal axis. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the fastening interface 110 is formed in each case by a contact surface 111 arranged on the connection plates 104a, 104b and a threaded hole 112. In the Figures 3 and 4th only the fastening interface 110 on the connection plate 104b for a first tilt cylinder is shown. The connection plate 104a is similarly provided with a corresponding fastening interface 110 for a second tilt cylinder. It goes without saying that the fastening interface 110 for the tilt cylinder on the cross member 103 according to the invention is only required as an option and, alternatively, can also be omitted.

Der erfindungsgemäße Querträger 103 kann weiterhin mit nicht näher dargestellten Ausknicksicherungen für Hubzylinder versehen sein.The cross member 103 according to the invention can furthermore be provided with buckling safeguards, not shown in detail, for lifting cylinders.

Der erfindungsgemäße Querträger 103 ist als Vormontagebaugruppe, insbesondere als Vorschweißbaugrupe, ausgebildet. Dies ermöglicht es, den Querträger 103 unabhängig von dem restlichen Hubmast 101 herzustellen. In der Figur 4 ist der die Vormontagebaugruppe bildende, fertig hergestellte Querträger 103 dargestellt.The cross member 103 according to the invention is designed as a pre-assembly assembly, in particular as a pre-welded assembly. This makes it possible to manufacture the cross member 103 independently of the rest of the lifting mast 101. In the Figure 4 the finished cross member 103 that forms the pre-assembly assembly is shown.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Hubmast 101 ist weiterhin erfindungsgemäß der Querträger 103 mit einer Stirnfläche 120 stumpf nur auf die Stirnflächen 121a, 121b an den Enden der beiden Schienenprofile 102a, 102b aufgesetzt. Die Stirnfläche 120 und die Stirnflächen 121a, 121b sind jeweils eben ausgeführt. Die Stirnfläche 120 und die Stirnflächen 121a, 121b bilden somit komplementäre Flächen zwischen dem Querträger 103 und den Schienenprofilen 102a, 102b, die ein stumpfes Aufsetzen des Querträgers 103 auf die Enden der Schienenprofile 102a, 102b ermöglichen. Mittels einer im Bereich der aufeinanderliegenden Stirnflächen 120, 121a und 120, 121b ausgebildeten Schweißverbindung ist der Querträger 103 mit den Schienenprofilen 102a, 102b verbunden. Die Stirnfläche 120 des Querträgers 103, mit der dieser auf die Stirnflächen 121a, 121b an den Enden der beiden Schienenprofile 102a, 102b aufgesetzt ist, ist an den Außenplatten 104a, 104b angeordnet.In the lifting mast 101 according to the invention, according to the invention, the cross member 103 with an end face 120 is placed butt only on the end faces 121a, 121b at the ends of the two rail profiles 102a, 102b. The end face 120 and the end faces 121a, 121b are each designed to be flat. The end face 120 and the end faces 121a, 121b thus form complementary surfaces between the cross member 103 and the rail profiles 102a, 102b, which enable the cross member 103 to be butted onto the ends of the rail profiles 102a, 102b. The cross member 103 is connected to the rail profiles 102a, 102b by means of a welded connection formed in the region of the end faces 120, 121a and 120, 121b lying on top of one another. The end face 120 of the cross member 103, with which it is placed on the end faces 121a, 121b at the ends of the two rail profiles 102a, 102b, is arranged on the outer plates 104a, 104b.

In der Figur 5 ist der Bereich zwischen einer Anschlussplatte 104a, 104b des Querträgers 105 und dem vertikal oberen Ende eines Schienenprofils 102a, 102b mit der Schweißverbindung näher dargestellt.In the Figure 5 the area between a connection plate 104a, 104b of the cross member 105 and the vertically upper end of a rail profile 102a, 102b with the welded connection is shown in more detail.

Wie in der Figur 5 ersichtlich ist, weist das Schienenprofil 102a, 102b jeweils einen E-förmigen Querschnitt auf, der zwei Außenstege 130a, 130b und einen die Außenstege 130a, 130b verbindenden Flansch 130c aufweist, wobei an dem Flansch 130c ein zwischen den Außenstegen 130a, 130b liegender Mittensteg 130d ausgebildet ist. Die Außenplatte 104a, 104b des Querträgers 103 weist an der Stirnfläche 120 einen U-förmigen Querschnitt auf, der zwei Außenstege 135a, 135b und einen die Außenstege 135a, 135b verbindenden Flansch 135c aufweist. Die zwei Außenstege 135a, 135b und der Flansch 135c an der Außenplatte 104a, 104b entsprechen hierbei in der Gestaltung, der Form und den Abmessungen den beiden Außenstege 130a, 130b und dem Flansch 130c des E-förmigen Schienenprofils 102a, 102b. Der U-förmige Querschnitt an der Stirnfläche 120 der Außenplatte 104a, 104b ist somit in der Form an das Schienenprofil 102a, 102b angelehnt und der U-förmige Querschnitt an der Stirnfläche 120 der Außenplatte 104a, 104b entspricht der von den beiden Außenstegen 130a, 130b und dem Flansch 130c gebildete Fläche des Schienenprofils 102a, 102b. Hierdurch wird erzielt, dass der stumpf auf die Enden der Schienenprofile 102a, 102b aufgesetzte Querträger 103 seitlich an dem Hubmast 101 nicht übersteht und somit der Querträger 103 die Schienenprofile 102a, 102b seitlich nicht übergreift, so dass der erfindungsgemäße Querträger 103 zu keiner seitlichen Sichtbehinderung des Fahrers des Flurförderzeugs führt. Hierdurch können weiterhin Vorteile bezüglich des Bauraums und fertigungstechnische Vorteile erzielt werden.Like in the Figure 5 As can be seen, the rail profile 102a, 102b each has an E-shaped cross-section, which has two outer webs 130a, 130b and a flange 130c connecting the outer webs 130a, 130b, with a central web 130d lying between the outer webs 130a, 130b on the flange 130c is trained. The outer plate 104a, 104b of the cross member 103 has a U-shaped cross section on the end face 120, which has two outer webs 135a, 135b and a flange 135c connecting the outer webs 135a, 135b. The two outer webs 135a, 135b and the flange 135c on the outer plate 104a, 104b correspond to the two outer webs 130a, 130b and the flange 130c of the E-shaped rail profile 102a, 102b in terms of design, shape and dimensions. The shape of the U-shaped cross section on the end face 120 of the outer plate 104a, 104b is based on the rail profile 102a, 102b and the U-shaped cross section on the end face 120 of the outer plate 104a, 104b corresponds to that of the two outer webs 130a, 130b and the surface of the rail profile 102a, 102b formed by the flange 130c. This ensures that the cross member 103, which is butted onto the ends of the rail profiles 102a, 102b, does not protrude laterally on the lifting mast 101 and thus the cross member 103 does not laterally overlap the rail profiles 102a, 102b, so that the cross member 103 according to the invention does not obstruct the view from the side Driver of the truck. In this way, advantages in terms of installation space and advantages in terms of manufacturing technology can also be achieved.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Hubmast 101 ist die Schweißverbindung zwischen dem Querträger 103 und den Schienenprofilen 102a, 102b jeweils als Ringschweißnaht 150 um die aufeinanderliegenden Stirnflächen 120, 121a und 120, 121b herum ausgebildet. Die Ringschweißnaht 150 zwischen der Stirnflächen 120 der Anschlussplatte 104a und der Stirnfläche 121a des Schienenprofils 102a sowie die Ringschweißnaht 150 zwischen der Stirnflächen 120 der Anschlussplatte 104b und der Stirnfläche 121b des Schienenprofils 102b ist jeweils umfangsseitig geschlossen, so dass die Schweißnaht einen geschlossenen Ring bildet und die Schweißnaht als HV-Naht und Kehlnaht ausgebildet ist. Als Schweißnahtvorbereitung kann an der Stirnflächen 120 der Anschlussplatte 104a, 104b und/oder an den Stirnflächen 120 der Schienenprofile 102a, 102b eine Fase angeordnet sein.In the lifting mast 101 according to the invention, the welded connection between the cross member 103 and the rail profiles 102a, 102b is in each case designed as an annular weld seam 150 around the end faces 120, 121a and 120, 121b lying on top of one another. The annular weld seam 150 between the end faces 120 of the connection plate 104a and the end face 121a of the rail profile 102a and the annular weld seam 150 between the end faces 120 of the connection plate 104b and the end face 121b of the rail profile 102b are each closed on the circumferential side, so that the weld seam forms a closed ring and the Weld seam is designed as a high-voltage seam and fillet weld. A bevel can be arranged on the end faces 120 of the connection plate 104a, 104b and / or on the end faces 120 of the rail profiles 102a, 102b as a weld seam preparation.

Der erfindungsgemäße Hubmast 101 wird wie folgt hergestellt:
Der als Vormontagebaugruppe ausgebildete Querträger 103 gemäß der Figur 4 kann unabhängig und getrennt von dem Hubmast 101 hergestellt und/oder von einem Zulieferer bezogen werden.
The lifting mast 101 according to the invention is manufactured as follows:
The cross member 103 designed as a pre-assembly assembly according to FIG Figure 4 can be manufactured independently and separately from the lifting mast 101 and / or obtained from a supplier.

Für die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Hubmastes 101 sind die folgenden Schritte erforderlich.The following steps are necessary for the production of the lifting mast 101 according to the invention.

In einem ersten Schritt werden die Schienenprofile 102a, 102b gereinigt, beispielsweise durch Sandstrahlen.In a first step, the rail profiles 102a, 102b are cleaned, for example by sandblasting.

Sofern erforderlich, können die Schienenprofile 102a, 102b in einem anschließenden zweiten Schritt gerichtet werden.If necessary, the rail profiles 102a, 102b can be straightened in a subsequent second step.

In einem anschließenden dritten Schritt werden die beiden Schienenprofile 102a, 102b und der bereits fertig hergestellte Querträger 103 (Figur 4) in eine Schweißvorrichtung eingelegt.In a subsequent third step, the two rail profiles 102a, 102b and the already finished cross member 103 ( Figure 4 ) inserted into a welding device.

In einem anschließenden fünften Schritt wird der stumpf auf die beiden Schienenprofile 102a, 102b aufgesetzte Querträger 103 mit den beiden Schienenprofilen 102a, 102b durch Anbringen der beiden Ringnähte 150 zwischen den beiden Anschlussplatten 104a, 104b und den beiden Schienenprofilen 102a, 102b verschweißt und somit verbunden.In a subsequent fifth step, the cross member 103, which is butted onto the two rail profiles 102a, 102b, with the two rail profiles 102a, 102b is made by applying the two annular seams 150 between the two connection plates 104a, 104b and the two rail profiles 102a, 102b welded and thus connected.

Der erfindungsgemäße Hubmast 101 weist eine Reihe von Vorteilen auf.The lifting mast 101 according to the invention has a number of advantages.

Die Anbringung der Aufnahmezapfen 106 für die Stützrollen an dem Querträger 103 führt dazu, dass an den Schienenprofilen 102a, 102b keine mechanische Bearbeitung, beispielsweise auf einem Bearbeitungszentrum, erforderlich ist, da an den Schienenprofilen 102a, 102 keine Ausnehmungen 10 und Freimachungen 11, 12 erforderlich sind. Bei der Ausführung der Schienenprofile 102a, 102b als asymmetrische Profile mit einem E-förmigen Querschnitt, wie in der Figur 5 dargestellt, führt dies zu besonderen Vorteilen, da für die Bearbeitung derartiger Schienenprofile 102a, 102b ein spezielles Bearbeitungszentrum erforderlich wäre und die mechanische Bearbeitung derartiger Schienenprofile 102a, 102b entsprechend aufwändig und teuer ist.Attaching the mounting pins 106 for the support rollers to the cross member 103 means that no mechanical processing, for example on a machining center, is required on the rail profiles 102a, 102b, since no recesses 10 and clearances 11, 12 are required on the rail profiles 102a, 102 are. When the rail profiles 102a, 102b are designed as asymmetrical profiles with an E-shaped cross-section, as in FIG Figure 5 As shown, this leads to particular advantages, since a special machining center would be required for the machining of such rail profiles 102a, 102b and the mechanical machining of such rail profiles 102a, 102b is correspondingly complex and expensive.

Bei der einstückigen Anformung der Aufnahmezapfen 106 der Stützrollen an dem erfindungsgemäßen Querträger 103 ergeben sich weitere Vorteile, da die aufwändigen Schweißverbindungen zur Befestigung der Aufnahmezapfen 106 entfallen können. Hierdurch werden Vorteile hinsichtlich einer einfachen und kostengünstigen Bauweise des Hubmastes 101 sowie hinsichtlich der Betriebsfestigkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Hubmastes 101 erzielt.In the one-piece molding of the receiving pins 106 of the support rollers on the cross member 103 according to the invention, further advantages result, since the complex welded connections for fastening the receiving pins 106 can be dispensed with. This achieves advantages with regard to a simple and inexpensive construction of the lifting mast 101 and with regard to the operational stability of the lifting mast 101 according to the invention.

Die Ausführung des Querträgers 103 als Vormontagebaugruppe und Vorschweißbaugruppe führt zu weiteren Vorteilen, da Schweißinhalte, wie das Anschweißen der beiden Halter 107 der Hubmittel und gegebenenfalls vorhandener Ausknicksicherungen der Hubzylinder in die Vorschweißbaugruppe Querträger 103 gelegt werden. Bei der Herstellung des Hubmastes 101 müssen somit nur noch die beiden Ringnähte 150 angebracht werden, wodurch eine Verkürzung der Schweißzeiten bei der Herstellung des Hubmastes 101 erzielt werden kann und eine Angleichung der Taktzeiten eines als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmastes 101 an die Taktzeiten eines als Ausfahrmast ausgebildeten Hubmastes 101 erzielt werden kann. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine Kostenersparnis bei der Herstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmastes 101. Durch die kürzeren Taktzeiten für einen erfindungsgemäßen als Standmast ausgebildeten Hubmast 101 ergibt sich somit eine Verkürzung der Produktionszeiten und es können somit mit vorhandenen Schweißvorrichtungen und Schweißrobotern eine höhere Anzahl von Hubmasten 101 produziert werden. Mit vorhandenen Fertigungskapazitäten kann somit eine höhere Anzahl von Hubmasten 101 produziert werden.The design of the cross member 103 as a preassembly assembly and pre-welding assembly leads to further advantages, since welding contents, such as the welding of the two holders 107 of the lifting means and any anti-buckling devices of the lifting cylinders, are placed in the cross member 103 for welding. During the manufacture of the lifting mast 101, only the two ring seams 150 need to be attached, whereby a shortening of the welding times in the manufacture of the lifting mast 101 can be achieved and an adjustment of the cycle times of a lifting mast 101 designed as a stationary mast to the cycle times of a lifting mast designed as an extending mast 101 can be achieved. This results in cost savings in the production of a lifting mast 101 designed as a standing mast according to the invention. The shorter cycle times for a lifting mast 101 according to the invention designed as a standing mast This results in a shortening of the production times and a higher number of lifting masts 101 can thus be produced with existing welding devices and welding robots. A higher number of lifting masts 101 can thus be produced with the existing production capacities.

Der als Vorschweißbaugruppe ausgebildete Querträgers 103 kann mit einer einfachen Schweißvorrichtung zusammengeschweißt werden, beispielsweise durch Orbitalschweißen. Hierdurch wird der Bauaufwand für den als Vorschweißbaugruppe ausgebildeten Querträgers 103 verringert.The cross member 103, designed as a pre-welding assembly, can be welded together with a simple welding device, for example by orbital welding. As a result, the construction costs for the cross member 103 designed as a pre-welded assembly is reduced.

Das stumpfe Aufsetzen des Querträgers 103 auf die Enden der beiden Schienenprofile 102a, 102b und das Verschweißen des Querträgers 103 mit den Schienenprofilen 102a, 102b lediglich durch die beiden Ringnähte 150 führt weiterhin dazu, dass bei Herstellung des Hubmastes 101 durch die geringe Anzahl von Schweißnähten die Schweißverzüge verringert werden.The butt placement of the cross member 103 on the ends of the two rail profiles 102a, 102b and the welding of the cross member 103 to the rail profiles 102a, 102b only by the two ring seams 150 further leads to the fact that when the lifting mast 101 is manufactured due to the small number of weld seams Weld distortion can be reduced.

Bei der Erfindung ergibt sich auch aufgrund der Ringnähte 150 und der an einen günstigen Kraftfluss anpassbaren Gestaltung des Querträgers 103 ein harmonischer Kraftfluss zwischen den Schienenprofilen 102a, 102b und dem Querträger 103, wodurch sich Vorteile hinsichtlich der Betriebsfestigkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Hubmastes 101 ergeben.The invention also results in a harmonious flow of forces between the rail profiles 102a, 102b and the crossbeam 103 due to the ring seams 150 and the design of the cross member 103 that can be adapted to a favorable flow of force, which results in advantages with regard to the durability of the lifting mast 101 according to the invention.

Das stumpfe Aufsetzen des Querträgers 103 auf die Enden der beiden Schienenprofile 102a, 102b und das Verschweißen des Querträgers 103 mit den Schienenprofilen 102a, 102b durch die beiden Ringnähte 150 führt weiterhin dazu, dass der erfindungsgemäße Querträger 103 die Schienenprofile 102a, 102b seitlich nicht übergreift, was sich günstig auf eine verbesserte Sicht des Fahrers des Flurförderzeugs auf den Lastträger und das Lastaufnahmemittel auswirkt.The butt placement of the cross member 103 on the ends of the two rail profiles 102a, 102b and the welding of the cross member 103 to the rail profiles 102a, 102b by the two ring seams 150 further means that the cross member 103 according to the invention does not laterally overlap the rail profiles 102a, 102b, which has a favorable effect on the driver of the industrial truck having an improved view of the load carrier and the load handling device.

In den erfindungsgemäßen Querträger 103 können zudem auf einfache Weise weitere Funktionen integriert werden, beispielsweise indem an den Anschlussplatten 104a, 104 Ausknicksicherungen für Hubzylinder angeordnet und/oder eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung, beispielsweise Schweinwerfer oder LED-Leuchten angebaut oder integral eingebaut werden.Further functions can also be easily integrated into the cross member 103 according to the invention, for example by arranging anti-buckling devices for lifting cylinders on the connection plates 104a, 104 and / or adding or integrally installing a lighting device, for example headlights or LED lights.
