Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for transporting goods according to the preamble of claim 1, for mounting on a lifting vehicle, particularly at the transport device of a forklift, and a method for manufacturing an apparatus for transporting goods according to the preamble of claim 10. Background Technology

[0002] It is known that longitudinal transport equipment, especially forklifts, used for at least temporary accommodating transported goods, is tilted by means of the tilting section of the lifting bracket of the lifting vehicle. A smaller tilt angle of almost 0° is necessary to drive into the pallet, and the load should be tilted as far back as possible when transporting it, thereby preventing the load from slipping. Therefore, the tilting function is an important additional feature for the safe transport and accommodating of loads.

[0003] The downside is that tilting the support can produce inaccurate results that depend very solely on the driver's adjustments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The objective of this invention is to ensure simple and safe handling of transported goods, wherein a tilting function is provided.

[0005] This task is solved by a device for transporting goods, which is used to be positioned at a lifting vehicle, particularly with lifting support equipment, especially at a forklift transport device. The device includes longitudinal transport equipment, particularly forks, for at least temporarily accommodating the transported goods; tilting equipment for longitudinally tilting the longitudinal transport equipment, particularly forks, especially two or more longitudinal transport equipment; and at least one electromechanical actuation device, particularly for linear adjustment, which loads the attachment area of ​​the longitudinal transport equipment, especially multiple longitudinal transport equipment, for tilting.

[0006] This invention provides an electrically driven, tiltable attachment, which can also be optionally equipped as a laterally movable attachment, and further offers advantageous tilting capabilities. Through advantageous construction, the interference profile is reduced and the weight is reduced. The device according to the invention provides a highly flexible device that can be adjusted according to the corresponding transport conditions, while meeting safety regulations and being designed to adapt to different lifting vehicles, wherein a hydraulic system is reduced or replaced. Maintenance and repair requirements are significantly reduced, and on the other hand, hydraulic oil is no longer necessary, which protects the environment. Furthermore, the connection of the electric attachment to the ground transport vehicle is easier, especially since it can be quickly disconnected from the ground transport vehicle via a plug connection. Small attachments such as manually operated lifting vehicles can also be more easily equipped with special functions, as only the power supply needs to be handled.

[0007] The device according to the invention can be easily activated to a precise angular position according to corresponding settings and can be connected to a ground transport vehicle, for example, via a CAN bus interface. Advantageously, the tilting of the auxiliary device includes approximately +2° forward and -4° backward, electrically. The tilt angle position can be preset, particularly as a display of the angular position, especially in the control display of the ground transport vehicle, wherein, particularly via pre-selection, particularly by touch display or manually via a joystick. The device can accommodate large loads, wherein the auxiliary device has the smallest possible front mounting dimensions.

[0008] Another advantage is that the displacement measurement system is easier to use, responsible for accurate and automatic positioning, as well as saving space and providing a good view for the driver.

[0009] Advantageously, electromechanical actuators have the function of applying electrodynamic force for linear adjustment, especially electric motors, especially DC motors and / or synchronous / asynchronous motors and / or linear motors and / or moving coils (Tauchspules), especially electric regulating cylinders.

[0010] Advantageously, at least one or more electromechanical actuators, especially electric adjusting cylinders, are arranged vertically or horizontally, and / or two electromechanical actuators, especially electric adjusting cylinders, are arranged parallel to each other in the tilting device, especially vertically or horizontally, and / or the forces of one or more electromechanical actuators are supported on a rotation axis above one or more electromechanical actuators in the case of a vertical arrangement.

[0011] Advantageously, the tilting device includes a lifting carriage device, which is particularly configured for longitudinal movement at the lifting support device and / or particularly for longitudinal movement at the lifting support device, and is arranged such that at least one electromechanical actuator is supported at the lifting carriage device, particularly utilizing the upper end of an electric cylinder at the rotating shaft.

[0012] Advantageously, the lifting device has a cage, wherein a guide profile is provided on the inner side of the vertical support arm of the cage, wherein an adjusting wheel device is provided in the lower region of the electromechanical actuator, particularly the electric adjusting cylinder, the adjusting wheel device being supported at the inner edge of the guide profile for force transmission and guidance, particularly by means of a guide roller, the guide roller being arranged to move within the guide profile.

[0013] The actuator has an advantage of being placed vertically and has a guide system for tilt adjustment via a swingable lifting device, whereby most of the force is received.

[0014] This device allows for more sensitive adjustment. Furthermore, cylinder unloading can be performed via the edge. Advantageously, the angular position can also be read at the cage without sensors.

[0015] Advantageously, the lifting device has a cage, wherein the at least one electromechanical actuator, particularly an electric adjusting cylinder, is arranged at its lower end at a tilting lever element, which is tiltably arranged in the lower region of the cage and positioned to act obliquely on the attachment area of ​​the longitudinal transport device. This device can be easily assembled and controlled. Advantageously, displacement measurement and tilt determination are possible.

[0016] Advantageously, the transverse spindle with worm gear drive is arranged horizontally with the electric motor, and a transmission mechanism is provided for driving the tilting device. For example, the electric motor can be placed in the middle of a device with a longitudinal transport mechanism and is responsible for tilting by rotation. Here, there is no need for a guide system for tilting; instead, the electric motor can accommodate all the load forces. The device is compact, has only one gearbox ratio, and is easy to operate.

[0017] Advantageously, the longitudinal transport device is arranged in the lateral direction at the lateral adjustment device for the longitudinal transport device, and in particular the lateral adjustment device integrated into the lifting bracket and / or can be placed at the lifting vehicle device can be tilted by the tilting device, so that one or more longitudinal transport devices also placed at the lateral adjustment device can be tilted and / or the lateral adjustment device includes electromechanical actuators, in particular one or more linear actuators, wherein the one or more electromechanical actuators are arranged in particular parallel to the lateral direction.

[0018] Therefore, the additional function of the lateral thruster (Seitenschub) can also be electrically operated in combination, advantageously capable of moving at least approximately + / - 50 mm. The tilting system and the lateral thruster advantageously have a common electrical control device supplied with electrical energy. This device supplies electrical energy to the drive unit and converts it into mechanical energy. The two systems, tilting and lateral thruster, are then separated from each other and each has its own mechanical guiding system accordingly. The mechanical force of the system is transmitted to the longitudinal transport device, and thus also to the load, which can now be lifted, tilted, and moved laterally.

[0019] Advantageously, a measuring device for measuring the tilt angle of a longitudinal transport device used for at least temporarily accommodating transported goods is provided, wherein the measuring device comprises an integrated measuring device, particularly integrated into a control device and / or tilting device, wherein the measuring device comprises a sensor device, particularly a mechanical sensor and / or an electrical sensor and / or a hydraulic sensor, wherein the measuring device comprises a sensor device that is set and / or controls the device and / or adjusts the device corresponding to the initial and / or final positions of the tilt adjustment of the longitudinal transport device used for at least temporarily accommodating transported goods and / or the tilting device used for tilt adjustment, particularly a magnetic control device and / or a micro SPS control device, for controlling and / or adjusting the tilt angle by means of the tilting device for the travel path of an electromechanical actuator, particularly the cylinder travel path of an electric cylinder, wherein, particularly with the aid of the measuring device, the angle adjustment of the tilting device via the control device and / or adjusting device should be limited to a predetermined length, and / or the measuring device and / or the control device and / or the adjusting device are disposed in a lifting vehicle.

[0020] This task is also solved by a method for manufacturing an apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 9 for transporting goods, the apparatus being placed at a lifting vehicle, particularly at a forklift transport unit, particularly having a lifting support device, the apparatus comprising longitudinal transport devices for at least temporarily accommodating transport goods, particularly forks, particularly two or more longitudinal transport devices, wherein a tilting device is used for longitudinally tilting the longitudinal transport devices, particularly the forks, particularly two or more longitudinal transport devices; the apparatus comprising at least one electromechanical actuation device, particularly for linear adjustment, said at least one electromechanical actuation device being configured to load the attachment area of ​​the longitudinal transport devices, particularly multiple longitudinal transport devices, for tilting.
