Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for holding objects according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Such a device for holding objects consisting of a plate-shaped support frame with rectangular receiving openings, a holding body with a molded locking base which can be inserted into one of the receiving openings and can be rotated therein, and a base arranged between the holding body and the locking base, has become known.
- a circular support section Immediately adjacent to the base is a circular support section and immediately adjacent to the support section a rectangular holding plate is attached to the base.
- Such devices are often also used to feed the stored objects to a cleaning or other processing process, such as coating.
- the current situation for storing a large number of objects in a cage or holding body is as follows: the large number of objects are filled into a cage.
- Four support feet must be provided on the underside of the cage, which are locked with the support frame or the receiving openings incorporated into the support frame. Accordingly, the support feet are first attached to the support frame, in the exactly specified surface dimension of the cage, so that the cage can then be placed on the four support feet.
- Another device for holding objects is from the EP 2 570 234 A1 known.
- the device has a carrier plate with a large number of incorporated receiving openings as well as receiving carriers for holding individual workpieces.
- an adapter is provided between the support frame and the cage, which has a holding base projecting in the direction of the support frame, that the holding base can be inserted into one of the receiving openings of the support frame and locked in this, and that the adapter is constructed from four support arms, which run perpendicular to one another and through which a rectangular interior is formed, in which the cage can be inserted and fixed by at least two undercuts, which are each formed between two pairs of side walls of the cage and the support arms of the adapter, a releasable locking connection is created between the cage and the adapter, so that the cage is locked on the support frame at any position during the locking state. Consequently, the cage can be pivoted, rotated or transferred into some other movement together with the support frame without the cage being detached from the support frame.
- a flexible spring bar is provided on at least two opposite side walls of the cage, which in the unloaded state projects in areas from the plane formed by the side wall and one on the has a latching lug facing the respective support arms of the adapter, because the outwardly projecting latching lug can thus come into effective contact with one of the respective support arms of the adapter.
- the cross section of the support arm is designed as a closed box profile and the web of the box profile facing the upper edge of the cage comes into effective contact with the locking lug of the spring bar as soon as the spring bar dips into the interior of the cash register profile. Accordingly, in the unloaded state, the spring bar runs within the cash register profile of the respective support arms and the locking lug of the spring bar lies below the top web of the box profile on the inside of the box profile and surrounds it. This is how the undercut is between the locking lug of the spring bar and the respective support arms of the adapter and can easily be released manually.
- a projection is formed on it that is accessible from the outside.
- the projection can therefore be manually applied with a force, whereby the spring bar is moved into the interior of the cage and the locking connection between the spring bar and the respective support arm is released.
- the spring bar is pivotably mounted on the respective side wall of the cage in the area of the bottom of the cage in the manner of a hinge; At the same time, the spring bar in the unloaded state exerts an outward biasing force on the locking lug, whereby the operative connection between the locking lug and the web of the support arm is permanently and reliably maintained.
- the cages known in the prior art could not be moved when filled because the locking mechanism between the cage and the support frame is designed as a pure plug-in connection that did not withstand a corresponding movement profile. It is particularly advantageous if the cage with the objects stored there can be moved overhead or in any other direction of movement in order to carry out the corresponding cleaning fluids, coating media or other work processes. For this purpose it is necessary to close the cage with a lid. In addition, several such cages can be attached or placed onto the cage closed in this way.
- a partition is attached to two opposite side walls of the cage, through which the interior of the cage is divided.
- a device 1 can be seen, through which one of a large number of differently designed objects 2 are accommodated during a transport, storage or processing process.
- the device 1 essentially comprises a support frame 4, into which a plurality of receiving openings 5 are incorporated, a cage 6, which has four side walls 7 1 , 7 2 , 7 3 and 7 4 , which together with a base 8 attached to them form an interior 10.
- the objects 2 can be filled into the interior 10 of the cage 6 designed in this way.
- the upper edge of the respective four side walls 7 1 to 7 4 facing away from the base 8 is provided with the reference number 9.
- the end face of the cage 6 enclosed by the upper edge 9 is open for the filling process of the objects 2.
- the device 1 is assigned an adapter 11, in the center of which a vertically projecting holding base 12 is formed.
- the holding base 12 can be inserted into one of the receiving openings 5 of the support frame 4 and locked therein. Consequently, the adapter 11 is position-oriented and releasably coupled to the support frame 4 in the attached state.
- the adapter 11 consists of four mutually perpendicular support arms 13 1 , 13 2 , 13 3 and 13 4 through which a rectangular interior 14 is formed.
- the size dimensions of the support arms 13 1 to 13 4 correspond to the largest dimensions the outer contour of the cage 6, so that the cage 6 - as explained in more detail below - can be inserted between the four support arms 13 1 to 13 4 of the adapter 11 and locked with them.
- a large number of recesses 18 are incorporated or provided in the side walls 7 1 to 7 4 in order to make the cage 6 as permeable as possible for liquid or gaseous media that are intended to reach the objects 2 stored in the cage 6.
- Two spring bars 15 are provided on two opposite side walls 7 1 and 7 3 of the cage 6.
- the respective spring bars 15 are pivotally mounted in the area of the base 8 in the manner of a hinge.
- the free end of the spring bar 15 is arranged in the area of the upper edge 9 and an air gap 30 is provided between the free end 15 'and the upper edge 9. The spring bar 15 can thus be moved inwards or outwards.
- a locking lug 16 is formed or provided on the outside of the respective spring bar 15, which extends outside the plane formed by the side wall 7 1 or 7 3 .
- a projection 17 is formed between the locking lug 16 and the free end 15 'of the spring bar 15 and is accessible from the outside. The projection 17 is used to manually operate the spring bar 15 in order to pivot it - as explained above - around the spring bar 15 in the manner of a hinge.
- the support arms 13 1 and 13 3 consist of two legs 26, 27 arranged perpendicular to one another, which consequently form an L-shaped cross-sectional contour.
- the first leg 26 serves as a stop for the cage 6 as soon as it is completely inserted into the interior 14 of the adapter 11.
- the second leg 27 has a box profile 28 with a closed cross section, which runs parallel to the respective side wall 7 1 or 7 3 of the cage 6.
- the geometry of the box profile 28 of the respective support arms 13 1 or 13s is designed in such a way that it is dimensioned slightly larger than the length and width of the spring bar 15. Consequently, the box profile 28 of the legs 27 encloses the spring bar 15.
- the respective spring bar 15 is pressed into the interior 10 of the cage 6 and the locking lug 16 moves over the web 29.
- the spring bar snaps 15 returns to its starting position and the locking lug 16 rests below the web 29. Accordingly, the locking lug 16 and the web 29 form an undercut through which the cage 6 is held in a position-oriented manner on the adapter 11.
- the legs 27 of the support arms 13 2 and 13 4 of the adapter 11 are also designed with a box profile 28 with a closed cross section, so that the cage 6 can be inserted into the adapter 11 in any position regardless of the design of the support arms 13 1 to 13 4 is.
- the lid 19 can be pushed laterally along the upper edge 9 and the respective holding lug 21 engages in the U-shaped guide channel of the holding profile 20 of the lid 19.
- a guide web 25 is provided adjacent to the holding profile 20, which runs vertically from the lid 19 into the interior of the cage 6.
- the respective partition 22 has two locking lugs 24 formed on the opposite side walls 23, which can be snapped into the recesses 18 of the side walls 7 1 to 7 4 .

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Halterung von Gegenständen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for holding objects according to the preamble of
Durch die
Durch die dort bekannt gewordene Haltevorrichtung sollen Gegenstände vereinzelt in oder an dem Haltekörper anbringbar sein, um diese zu lagern und während des Transportvorganges vor Beschädigungen zu stützen. Oftmals werden solche Vorrichtungen auch dazu verwendet, die entsprechend eingelagerten Gegenstände einem Reinigungs- oder sonstigen Bearbeitungsprozess, beispielsweise Beschichtung, zuzuführen.The holding device known there should be able to individually attach objects in or to the holding body in order to store them and protect them from damage during the transport process. Such devices are often also used to feed the stored objects to a cleaning or other processing process, such as coating.
Diese Haltevorrichtungen haben sich in der Praxis für die Vereinzelung von Gegenständen, die einem der vorgenannten Arbeitsprozesse zuzuführen sind, äußerst bewährt. Diese Vorrichtungen können jedoch für die Aufnahme von einer Vielzahl von Gegenständen in einem einzigen Käfig oder Haltekörper nicht verwendet werden, da deren Innenkonturen an die jeweiligen Gegenstände exakt angepasst ist, um mögliche Bewegungen der Gegenstände im Inneren des Haltekörpers zu verhindern.These holding devices have proven extremely useful in practice for separating objects that are to be fed into one of the aforementioned work processes. However, these devices cannot be used to hold a large number of objects in a single cage or holding body because whose inner contours are precisely adapted to the respective objects in order to prevent possible movements of the objects inside the holding body.
Für die Einlagerung von einer Vielzahl von Gegenständen in einen Käfig oder Haltekörper ist es in der Praxis derzeit wie folgt: die Vielzahl von Gegenständen werden in einen Käfig eingefüllt. An der Unterseite des Käfigs sind vier Stützfüße vorzusehen, die mit dem Traggestell bzw. denen dem Traggestell eingearbeiteten Aufnahmeöffnungen arretiert sind. Demnach werden die Stützfüße zunächst an dem Traggestell befestigt, und zwar in der exakt vorgegebenen Flächenabmessung des Käfigs, sodass nachfolgend der Käfig auf die vier Stützfüße aufgesetzt werden kann.In practice, the current situation for storing a large number of objects in a cage or holding body is as follows: the large number of objects are filled into a cage. Four support feet must be provided on the underside of the cage, which are locked with the support frame or the receiving openings incorporated into the support frame. Accordingly, the support feet are first attached to the support frame, in the exactly specified surface dimension of the cage, so that the cage can then be placed on the four support feet.
Solche Vorrichtungen weisen den Nachteil auf, dass der Käfig lösbar mit den jeweiligen Stützfüßen verbunden ist, denn der Käfig wird ausschließlich auf die vier Stützfüße aufgesetzt; eine Verankerung zwischen dem Käfig und den vier Stützfüßen erfolgt nicht. Folglich kann das Traggestell und der daran aufgesetzte Käfig ausschließlich in einer eng begrenzten Winkelposition bewegt werden. Ein Schütteln des Käfigs, um beispielsweise die Reinigungsmaßnahmen zu optimieren, ist nicht möglich, denn der Käfig würde von den Stützfüßen gelöst und herunterfallen.Such devices have the disadvantage that the cage is detachably connected to the respective support feet, because the cage is placed exclusively on the four support feet; There is no anchoring between the cage and the four support feet. Consequently, the support frame and the cage placed on it can only be moved in a narrowly limited angular position. Shaking the cage, for example to optimize cleaning measures, is not possible because the cage would become detached from the support feet and fall down.
Eine weitere Vorrichtung zur Halterung von Gegenständen ist aus der
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Gegenständen der Eingangs genannten Gattung derart weiterzubilden, dass der Käfig möglichst schnell mit dem Traggestell verbunden werden kann und gleichzeitig eine zuverlässige und dauerhafte Wirkverbindung zwischen dem Käfig und dem Traggestell erreicht ist. Aufgrund der vorherrschenden Arretierung des Käfigs an dem Traggestell sollen nachfolgend verschiedene Arbeitsprozesse durchführbar sein, die eine Drehung und/oder Verschwenkung des Käfigs erlauben, ohne dass der Käfig von dem Traggestell gelöst ist.It is the object of the invention to develop a device for receiving objects of the type mentioned in such a way that the cage can be connected to the support frame as quickly as possible and at the same time a reliable and permanent operative connection between the cage and the support frame is achieved. Due to the predominant locking of the cage on the support frame, various work processes should subsequently be able to be carried out, which allow rotation and/or pivoting of the cage without the cage being detached from the support frame.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of
Weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous developments of the invention result from the subclaims.
Dadurch, dass zwischen dem Traggestell und dem Käfig ein Adapter vorgesehen ist, der einen in Richtung des Traggestells abstehenden Haltesockel aufweist, dass der Haltesockel in eine der Aufnahmeöffnungen des Traggestell einsteckbar und in diese arretierbar ist, und dass der Adapter aus vier Stützarmen aufgebaut ist, die senkrecht zueinander verlaufen und durch die ein rechteckförmiger Innenraum gebildet ist, in dem der Käfig einsetzbar und durch mindestens zwei Hinterschneidungen fixiert ist, die jeweils zwischen zwei Paaren von Seitenwänden des Käfigs und den Stützarmen des Adapters gebildet sind, entsteht eine lösbare Rastverbindung zwischen dem Käfig und dem Adapter, sodass der Käfig an dem Traggestell an beliebigen Positionen während des Verrastungszustandes arretiert ist. Folglich kann der Käfig zusammen mit dem Traggestell verschwenkt, gedreht oder in eine sonstige Bewegung überführt sein, ohne dass der Käfig von dem Traggestell gelöst ist.The fact that an adapter is provided between the support frame and the cage, which has a holding base projecting in the direction of the support frame, that the holding base can be inserted into one of the receiving openings of the support frame and locked in this, and that the adapter is constructed from four support arms, which run perpendicular to one another and through which a rectangular interior is formed, in which the cage can be inserted and fixed by at least two undercuts, which are each formed between two pairs of side walls of the cage and the support arms of the adapter, a releasable locking connection is created between the cage and the adapter, so that the cage is locked on the support frame at any position during the locking state. Consequently, the cage can be pivoted, rotated or transferred into some other movement together with the support frame without the cage being detached from the support frame.
Aufgrund der Hinterschneidungsverbindung zwischen den Seitenwänden des Käfigs und den Stützarmen des Adapters können diese beiden Bauteile schnell und unkompliziert miteinander verbunden bzw. voneinander gelöst sein.Due to the undercut connection between the side walls of the cage and the support arms of the adapter, these two components can be connected to one another or detached from one another quickly and easily.
Um die Hinterschneidung zwischen den jeweiligen Seitenwänden und den Stützarmen, die demnach paarweise die Rastverbindung bilden, herzustellen, ist an mindestens zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Käfigs ein biegeelastischer Federsteg vorgesehen, der im unbelasteten Zustand aus der von der Seitenwand gebildeten Ebene bereichsweise übersteht und eine an den jeweiligen Stützarmen des Adapters zugewandte Rastnase aufweist, denn somit kann die nach außen abstehenden Rastnase in Wirkkontakt mit einem der jeweiligen Stützarme des Adapters gelangen.In order to create the undercut between the respective side walls and the support arms, which therefore form the locking connection in pairs, a flexible spring bar is provided on at least two opposite side walls of the cage, which in the unloaded state projects in areas from the plane formed by the side wall and one on the has a latching lug facing the respective support arms of the adapter, because the outwardly projecting latching lug can thus come into effective contact with one of the respective support arms of the adapter.
Zu diesem Zweck ist der Querschnitt des Stützarmes als geschlossenes Kastenprofil ausgebildet und der der Oberkante des Käfigs zugewandte Steg des Kastenprofiles gelangt in Wirkkontakt mit der Rastnase des Federsteges, sobald der Federsteg in das Innere des Kassenprofils eintaucht. Demnach verläuft der Federsteg im unbelasteten Zustand innerhalb des Kassenprofils des jeweiligen Stützarme und die Rastnase des Federsteges liegt unterhalb des oberseitigen Steges des Kastenprofils an dessen Innenseite an und umgreift diesen. Auf diese Art ist die Hinterschneidung zwischen der Rastnase des Federsteges und den jeweiligen Stützarmen des Adapters hergestellt und kann ohne Weiteres manuell gelöst werden.For this purpose, the cross section of the support arm is designed as a closed box profile and the web of the box profile facing the upper edge of the cage comes into effective contact with the locking lug of the spring bar as soon as the spring bar dips into the interior of the cash register profile. Accordingly, in the unloaded state, the spring bar runs within the cash register profile of the respective support arms and the locking lug of the spring bar lies below the top web of the box profile on the inside of the box profile and surrounds it. This is how the undercut is between the locking lug of the spring bar and the respective support arms of the adapter and can easily be released manually.
Um den Federsteg betätigen zu können, ist an diesem ein Überstand angeformt, der von außen zugänglich ist. Somit kann der Überstand manuell mit einer Kraft beaufschlagt werden, wodurch der Federsteg in das Innere des Käfigs bewegt ist und sich die Rastverbindung zwischen dem Federsteg und dem jeweiligen Stützarm löst. Dabei ist der Federsteg im Bereich des Bodens des Käfigs nach Art eines Scharniers verschwenkbar an der jeweiligen Seitenwand des Käfigs gelagert; gleichzeitig übt dadurch der Federsteg im unbelasteten Zustand eine nach außen gerichtete Vorspannkraft auf die Rastnase aus, wodurch die Wirkverbindung zwischen der Rastnase und dem Steg des Stützarmes dauerhaft und zuverlässig beibehalten ist.In order to be able to operate the spring bar, a projection is formed on it that is accessible from the outside. The projection can therefore be manually applied with a force, whereby the spring bar is moved into the interior of the cage and the locking connection between the spring bar and the respective support arm is released. The spring bar is pivotably mounted on the respective side wall of the cage in the area of the bottom of the cage in the manner of a hinge; At the same time, the spring bar in the unloaded state exerts an outward biasing force on the locking lug, whereby the operative connection between the locking lug and the web of the support arm is permanently and reliably maintained.
Die im Stand der Technik bekannt gewordenen Käfige konnten im befüllten Zustand nicht bewegt werden, da die Arretierung zwischen dem Käfig und dem Traggestell als reine Steckverbindung ausgestaltet ist, die ein entsprechendes Bewegungsprofil nicht standgehalten hat. Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Käfig mit den dort eingelagerten Gegenständen über Kopf oder in sonstige beliebige Bewegungsrichtungen verfahren werden kann, um die entsprechenden Reinigungsflüssigkeiten, Beschichtungsmedien oder sonstige Arbeitsprozesse durchzuführen. Zu diesem Zweck ist es erforderlich, den Käfig mit einem Deckel zu verschließen. Zudem können auf den derart verschlossenen Käfig mehrere solcher Käfige aufgesteckt oder aufgesetzt werden.The cages known in the prior art could not be moved when filled because the locking mechanism between the cage and the support frame is designed as a pure plug-in connection that did not withstand a corresponding movement profile. It is particularly advantageous if the cage with the objects stored there can be moved overhead or in any other direction of movement in order to carry out the corresponding cleaning fluids, coating media or other work processes. For this purpose it is necessary to close the cage with a lid. In addition, several such cages can be attached or placed onto the cage closed in this way.
Falls in einen Käfig mehrere unterschiedliche Gegenstände einzulagern sind, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Käfigs eine Trennwand befestigt ist, durch die der Innenraum des Käfigs unterteilt ist.If several different objects are to be stored in a cage, it is advantageous if a partition is attached to two opposite side walls of the cage, through which the interior of the cage is divided.

An der Außenseite des jeweiligen Federsteges 15 ist eine Rastnase 16 angeformt oder vorgesehen, die außerhalb der von der Seitenwand 71 bzw. 73 gebildeten Ebene verläuft. Zwischen der Rastnase 16 und dem freien Ende 15' des Federsteges 15 ist ein Überstand 17 angeformt, der von außen zugänglich ist. Der Überstand 17 dient zur manuellen Betätigung des Federsteges 15, um diesen - wie vorstehend erläutert - um den Federsteg 15 nach Art eines Scharniers zu verschwenken.A locking
Die Stützarme 131 und 133 bestehen aus zwei senkrecht zueinander angeordnete Schenkeln 26, 27, die folglich eine L-förmige Querschnittskontur bilden.The
Der erste Schenkel 26 dient als Anschlag für den Käfig 6, sobald dieser vollständig in den Innenraum 14 des Adapters 11 eingesetzt ist. Der zweite Schenkel 27 weist ein im Querschnitt geschlossenes Kastenprofil 28 auf, das parallel zu der jeweiligen Seitenwand 71 bzw. 73 des Käfigs 6 verläuft. Die Geometrie des Kastenprofils 28 der jeweiligen Stützarme 131 bzw. 13s ist dabei derart ausgestaltet, dass dieses geringfügig größer bemessen ist als die Länge und Breite des Federsteges 15. Folglich umschließt das Kastenprofil 28 der Schenkel 27 den Federsteg 15.The
Wenn der Käfig 6 in Richtung des Adapters 11 bewegt ist, gelangt die nach außen abstehende Rastnase 16 des Federsteges 15 in Wirkkontakt mit einem Steg 29 des Kastenprofils 28, der parallel und beabstandet zu dem ersten Schenkel 26 verläuft.When the
Durch die beiden gegenüberliegenden Stege 29 der Stützarme 131 und 133 ist demnach der jeweilige Federsteg 15 in den Innenraum 10 des Käfigs 6 gedrückt und die Rastnase 16 überfährt den Steg 29. Sobald die Rastnase 16 den Steg 29 vollständig überfahren hat, schnappt der Federsteg 15 in seine Ausgangsposition zurück und die Rastnase 16 liegt unterhalb des Steges 29 an. Demnach bilden die Rastnase 16 und der Steg 29 eine Hinterschneidung, durch die der Käfig 6 an dem Adapter 11 lageorientiert gehalten ist.Due to the two
Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Schenkel 27 der Stützarme 132 und 134 des Adapters 11 ebenso mit einem im Querschnitt geschlossenen Kastenprofil 28 ausgestaltet, sodass unabhängig von den Ausbildungen der Stützarme 131 bis 134 der Käfig 6 in beliebige Positionen in den Adapter 11 einsteckbar ist.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the
Um den Käfig 6 von dem Adapter 11 zu lösen, kann der Überstand 17 manuell nach innen gedrückt werden, sodass sich die Rastnase 16 von der Unterseite des Steges 26 löst und somit der Käfig 6 aus dem Adapter 11 herausgeschoben werden kann. Aus
