Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transporting piece goods according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are used in particular for the transport of parts in the motor vehicle industry. They have several stackable containers made of particle foam, each of which is open at the top and is closed by the next container from the top of the stack. The top container of the stack can also be closed with a lid.
  • the use of particle foam as the material for the containers has the advantage that the containers can easily be made from one piece and have a soft and / or dimensionally accurate inner surface that matches the piece goods to be picked up, without being additionally equipped with an insert made of soft material Need to become.
  • the stacking containers are positioned on top of one another by means of interlocking contours in the particle foam. During the manufacture of the containers, manufacturing tolerances occur that can amount to several millimeters for each container.
  • the invention is based on the idea of positioning the containers with respect to one another by means of the centering elements, which, due to their construction from harder material, in particular from metal or a thermoplastic, have lower manufacturing tolerances and can be manufactured much more precisely with identical dimensions than the basic bodies of the containers which are preferably made in one piece, for example from expanded polypropylene (EPP), from expanded polyethylene (EPE) or from expanded polyurethane (EPU).
  • EPP expanded polypropylene
  • EPE expanded polyethylene
  • EPU expanded polyurethane
  • a particularly suitable material for the centering elements is polyamide with glass fiber reinforcement, the glass fiber content preferably being at least 20% and preferably about 30%.
  • Each container has a first centering element which defines a zero point and can be referred to as a zero point element.
  • the second centering element or the second centering elements is or will be arranged in a defined manner in each container in the same way with respect to all three spatial directions (x, y and z directions).
  • all containers are produced with the same machine, which aligns the second centering element or the second centering elements for each container in an identical manner with respect to the zero point element.
  • the centering elements arranged one above the other not only interlock in order to achieve a defined alignment of the stacked containers, but on each centering element of one of the containers with the exception of the uppermost container there is an identical centering element of the next upper container, so that the Centering elements form pillars.
  • the weight of the upper container is transferred to the lower container exclusively or predominantly in the area of the centering elements, so that the containers are positioned in a better defined manner relative to one another in the vertical direction.
  • the centering elements are expediently each firmly connected to the associated base body, for example screwed to it or connected to it in a form-fitting or material-locking manner.
  • the base bodies preferably each have an essentially rectangular or square plan and a centering element is arranged on each side of the plan. It is preferred that the centering elements of each container are opposite one another in pairs. As a result, a precisely defined positioning of each container relative to the other containers is achieved all around with only small tolerances.
  • each container has at least one first and at least one second centering section with a longitudinal extension in a first direction and at least one first and at least one second centering section with a longitudinal extension in a second direction transverse to the first direction .
  • This measure results in better positioning of the containers in relation to one another in the horizontal (x and y directions).
  • a lid can be provided to close the top container.
  • the cover expediently has a base body which is made of the same material as the base body of the container.
  • a base that is identical to the lid can be provided, on which the bottom container rests.
  • the lid and the bottom each have a plurality of centering end pieces corresponding in number and position to the number and position of the centering elements of the container, the centering end pieces of the lid each resting on one of the centering elements of the uppermost container and wherein one of the centering elements of the lowermost container rests on the centering end pieces of the bottom.
  • the centering end pieces each have first centering end parts protruding from the top of the lid or the bottom and second centering end parts protruding from the underside of the cover or the bottom, which are identical to the first and second centering parts of the associated centering elements.
  • the centering end pieces can be identical in their dimensions in the horizontal (x- and y-direction) to the centering elements and differ from these only in their dimensions in the vertical (z-direction), in which they are attached to the height of the Container is adapted to different heights of the lid or the bottom.
  • the transport device 10 shown has a frame 12 with a pallet 14 forming a base plate and four posts 16 extending upwards at the corners of the pallet 14.
  • Each of the containers 20 has a base body 22 made of a particle foam, which is open to an upper side 24. Since the containers 20 are of identical design, each container 20 with the exception of the uppermost one is closed at the top by the next uppermost container 20. The topmost of the containers 20 is finally closed by means of a lid 26 resting on it, which completely covers it and is structurally identical to the base 18.
  • a structurally identical transport device 10 with its frame 12 can be placed on the posts 16 if several such transport devices 10 are to be stacked on top of one another.
  • Each container 20 has centering elements 30, 32 made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide received in its base body 22 and fixed there with screws 28 (cf. Figures 2 , 3 ).
  • a first centering element 30 is arranged centrally on one of the four sides 34 of the base body 22 which, with the exception of recesses 36 for receiving the posts 16 at the corners, has a rectangular outline.
  • the first centering element 30 serves as a zero point element for positioning the second centering elements 32, which are each arranged on one of the remaining three sides 34 of the base body 22.
  • the first centering element 30 is first anchored in the base body 22, and the position of the second centering elements 32 is then determined in all three spatial directions with respect to the first Centering element 30 for all containers 20 aligned identically.
  • All centering elements 30, 32 extend through the base body 22 and protrude on its upper side 24 and on its lower side 38 facing away from the upper side 24.
  • a first centering part 40 protrudes from the top side 24, while a second centering part 42 protrudes from the bottom side 38.
  • the centering parts 40, 42 are designed in such a way that the first centering part 40 can be received with little play in the second centering part 42 of the corresponding centering element 30, 32 of the next upper container 20 (cf. Figure 4 ).
  • the first centering parts 40 also taper towards the top, so that lead-in bevels are created for the second centering parts 42.
  • the first centering elements 30 form a first column, while the second centering elements 32 form three second columns.
  • the containers 20 are positioned exactly with respect to one another by means of the centering elements 30, 32.
  • the first centering parts 40 also have a longitudinal extension, the first centering parts 40 of the first centering element 30 and two second centering elements 32 extending parallel to the narrow sides 34 of the base body 32, while the first centering part 40 of the second centering element opposite the first centering element 30 extends 32 extends perpendicular to this and parallel to the long sides 34 of the base body 22.
  • the base 18 and the cover 26 are each provided with a first centering end piece 44 and with three second centering end pieces 46. These are embedded in a base body 48 of the bottom 18 or the cover 26 in the same way as the first centering elements 30 and the second centering elements 32 in the base body 22 and are aligned in their position exactly the same as the centering elements 30, 32 with one another, so that the first centering end pieces 44 form the ends of the first column and the second centering end pieces 46 form the ends of the three second columns.
  • the Centering end pieces 44, 46 are each provided at their upper end with a first centering end part 50 which is identical to the first centering part 40, while at their lower end they are each provided with a second centering end part which is identical to the second centering part 42 is.
  • the centering end pieces 44, 46 are also made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide, so that the first centering end pieces 44 are identical to the first centering elements 30 with the exception of their lower height and the second centering end pieces 46 are also identical to the second centering elements 32 except for their lower height.
  • the base bodies of the lid 26 and the base 18 are made in one piece from the same particle foam as the base bodies 22 of the container 20.
  • the base bodies 22, 48 of the base 18, the container 20 and the cover 26 are also equipped with upwardly directed suction surfaces 54 to which a robot vacuum cleaner can be attached in order to lift them up during fully automatic handling.
  • the suction surfaces 54 are smoother than the other surfaces in that they are provided with a skin such as, for example, in FIG EP 2 558 378 B1 described.
  • the transport device 110 according to the second embodiment differs from the transport device 10 according to the first embodiment only in a few details. The same features are therefore provided with the same reference symbols.
