Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a system for loading a vehicle with a load or applying an interchangeable loading structure to a vehicle, said system comprising at least one device on the vehicle for receiving the load or the loading structure and at least one support device cooperating with the device, on which the load or the loading structure is located.

[0002] There are a wide variety of approaches in the prior art for loading vehicles such as trucks with cargo. For example, DE 299 22 540 U1 describes a loading device for transport vehicles in which a self-propelled, articulated, articulated tractor unit with an articulated unloading conveyor and its own steering device, a steering drive, a control system, and a measuring device for determining the correct direction of travel is used to load the loading area of ​​a truck from a ramp. The cargo is pushed from the unloading conveyor over an unloading slope at the front end of the device, with the articulated tractor unit moving backward intermittently. This known device is very complex, expensive to purchase, has a complex operating principle, and loading a vehicle with such an articulated tractor unit is too time-consuming.

[0003] EP 1 808 387 B1 describes a logistics system based on the basic idea of ​​loading or unloading a vehicle via a platform located on its loading area. This platform can be retrieved from the loading area at a transfer station or pushed onto the loading area during loading. The logistics system also comprises a high-bay warehouse area and a picking area in which the goods can be pre-picked for later loading. To enable the platform to be pushed onto the loading area during loading, the transfer station is designed to be pivotable about a vertical axis and a lifting device is also provided to lift a rear part of the loading area or the entire trailer with the loading area. A longitudinal conveyor unit is required for the transfer station.However, loading a truck using this well-known logistics system is also very complicated, as the process of maneuvering the vehicle into a parking position necessary for loading is very time-consuming.

[0004] Basically, vehicles are known from the prior art in which a transport body in the form of a so-called swap body is used, as described, for example, in DE 198 20 074 A1. The swap body has pivoting floor supports in its lower area which are vertical when the swap body is in an elevated position and can be pivoted into a low position in which the parked swap body stands on feet. In the elevated position, the swap body can be picked up by the vehicle driving with its loading area under the swap body in the elevated position and then pivoting the floor supports in. Alternatively, this document also describes large containers for heavy goods which can be pulled onto a truck like a sled. The container assumes a tilted position before being lifted onto the loading area.However, in both variants described, no mutual guidance means for the picking process on the loading area of ​​the vehicle or on the container itself are described.

[0005] PCT document WO 90 / 08 052 A1 discloses bodies that can be pulled onto the loading area of ​​a vehicle and are equipped with rollers underneath to facilitate changing the loading body. To accommodate such a loading body, however, the rear hatch of the pickup-like vehicle is folded back and pivoted into an inclined position to create a sloping ramp over which the loading body is pulled up. Furthermore, this document discloses the use of loading bodies whose length is less than the longitudinal dimension of the entire loading area, allowing several shorter loading bodies to be placed on one loading area, thus providing greater flexibility in the use of the loading space.

[0006] DE 200 20 452 U1 describes a swap body frame for removable vehicle superstructures, in which an interchangeable base frame with platforms is placed from above on the chassis frame of a carrier vehicle and connected to the chassis frame of the carrier vehicle. A payload can, in turn, be detachably placed from above on the base frame. This payload can also be, for example, a vehicle body with a specific functionality, such as a tank body, spreader attachment for a spreader vehicle, or a workshop body. For the detachable connection of the interchangeable base frame to the chassis frame of the carrier vehicle, fastening holes are provided into which fastening elements engage, as well as for the connection of the payload to the base frame.This means that fastening elements have to be loosened in each case, which requires an assembly process, so that changing the load or the loading structure within a short period of time is not possible.

[0007] DE 32 35 972 A1 further describes a commercial vehicle with a lifting frame for receiving an interchangeable body (container), which is arranged so as to be liftable and tiltable relative to the vehicle frame by means of a lifting device, wherein the lifting frame, which is guided in a parallelogram-like manner by front and rear lifting frame struts, wherein the rear lifting frame struts are rigidly connectable to the lifting frame for tilting, rests on the vehicle frame in its transport position, and that the lifting frame has a sliding frame which is longitudinally displaceable relative to a lower support frame.

[0008] In addition, DE 34 32 754 A1 discloses a vehicle with an interchangeable body which can be mounted and removed using on-board means, wherein two parallel guide rails are firmly mounted on the chassis of the vehicle, the guide rails are slightly inclined backwards, the guide rails terminate in loading ramps at the rear of the vehicle, the loading ramps are more steeply inclined, a cable winch is mounted on the chassis, the interchangeable body has a stable base plate, two runners are mounted beneath the base plate, the distance between which corresponds to the distance between the guide rails, the runners are bevelled at the beginning and end, a series of wheels is attached to the runners and devices for attaching the winch cable are provided on the base plate.

[0009] The object of the present invention is to provide a system for loading a vehicle of the type mentioned at the outset, which system allows a very simple and rapid loading and unloading process and is also very variable in that not only a wide variety of loads can be accommodated, but also a wide variety of superstructures with different functionalities can be brought onto the chassis of a basic vehicle.

[0010] The solution to this problem is provided by a system for loading a vehicle of the type mentioned at the beginning with the features of the main claim.

[0011] According to the invention, it is provided, on the one hand, that the device on the vehicle is a guide device that is openly accessible in the loading longitudinal direction of the vehicle and that the support device that interacts with this guide device comprises at least one insertable support profile that engages in this guide device in a guided manner in the loading longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0012] The invention therefore provides a solution by which a load or loading structure can be mounted on a vehicle, for example, on the chassis of a truck, with comparatively little effort and in a relatively short time. One advantage of the system according to the invention is, for example, that goods can be pre-assembled on the support device and securely fastened for transport, so that after the rapid process of sliding the support device onto the guide device on the vehicle itself, the otherwise time-consuming process of securing the load, for example by lashing, can be eliminated.The loading process is also much simpler than in the systems described above, in which loaded platforms are pushed onto the vehicle by means of complex longitudinal conveyor units, since with the procedure according to the invention it is even possible to push the load on the carrying device onto the vehicle without any drive, for example if, according to a possible preferred variant, the carrying device or guide device has rollers in order to reduce the sliding friction.

[0013] Further advantages arise from the fact that complex measuring devices and sensors, which enable precise maneuvering of the vehicle into the loading position, as used in the prior art, are generally not required. The problem of a potential tipping position due to partial compression of the vehicle's chassis at the start of the loading process also generally does not arise, since engagement between the guide device on the vehicle and the support profile beneath the load is already established from the outset.

[0014] The effort required for pushing on is generally also reduced by the fact that, according to a preferred development of the invention, the vehicle is designed in such a way that during loading / unloading the guide device is located approximately at the same height as a loading level, in particular a ramp, on which the support profile with the load or the loading structure is located, so that the load or the loading structure can be pushed from the loading level onto the guide device at essentially the same level.

[0015] The guide device according to the invention on the vehicle as well as the support profile of the support device which carries the load or the loading structure can be made, for example, of metal, of suitable plastics, of composite materials or of other materials which are sufficiently mechanically resilient and can absorb the required forces.

[0016] The guide device according to the invention preferably comprises one or more guide rails permanently mounted on or in the vehicle. Thus, for example, the chassis of a truck or trailer can be converted once to include a guide rail firmly anchored to the vehicle, thus resulting in a vehicle that can be used in a variety of ways within the system according to the invention. Flat load carriers such as pallets or platforms that have the support profile can then be pushed onto the guide rail. The pallets or platforms may, if necessary, already have loads firmly anchored for transport. Alternatively, a specific loading structure, which also has the support profile on the underside, is pushed onto the vehicle, converting it into a vehicle with a defined functionality, for example, a tanker or a refuse collection vehicle or the like.This variability in vehicle configuration also enables better utilization of existing vehicles in a fleet, as a freight forwarder can, for example, use one vehicle to transport containers or palletized goods from A to B, then convert the vehicle by adding a tank loading body, and transport liquid cargo in the tank on the return journey from B to A.

[0017] The system according to the invention also simplifies the loading process in many cases, as heavy and / or large, bulky loads, for example, can be pre-assembled on a support profile directly after production at the production site. This allows the support profile to simply be pushed or pulled onto the vehicle's guide rail during loading. Lifting the heavy load during loading is no longer necessary, thus eliminating the need for a crane.

[0018] For lighter loads, for example, loading can be done without the use of industrial trucks. Internal transport to the loading point is also simplified, as the system according to the invention can, for example, eliminate the pallets previously used by mounting the loads to be loaded directly onto a support profile. The system can therefore also be advantageously used in conjunction with a logistics and storage system, for example, storing goods mounted on the support profiles in a high-bay warehouse, where the transport also takes place on guide devices (e.g., rails) that correspond to the support profile.

[0019] According to a possible preferred variant of the present invention, the guide device is arranged approximately centrally in the transverse direction of the vehicle and extends in the longitudinal direction of the load. Such an approximately central guide device, e.g., a guide rail, is sufficient to transfer the load in a guided longitudinal movement onto the loading area and anchor it securely on the vehicle. Of course, several parallel guide devices can also be provided on the vehicle.

[0020] According to a preferred development of the invention, the support profile is shaped such that it overlaps partial areas of the guide device. This results in alternating guide areas and contact surfaces between the guide device and the support profile, which effect a guided movement of the support profile on the guide device when the support profile is inserted in the longitudinal direction, thereby preventing upward lifting of the support profile and / or lateral displacement movements of the support profile relative to the guide device in the engaged position. There can be at least a partial positive connection between the support profile and the guide device, but this is by no means necessary, especially when working with a roller guide, for example.Preferably, in an engaged position of the support profile and guide device, an unwanted displacement movement in the longitudinal direction of the load is prevented automatically or after actuation of a locking device.

[0021] Furthermore, the invention provides that by releasing a locking device, the engagement between the guide device and the support profile can be released, and the support profile can then be lifted upwards from the guide device. This variant thus allows, for example, when loading a vehicle with several load modules arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction, only a single load module arranged in the row to be lifted upwards from the vehicle using a lifting device (e.g., a crane), without the need to first push the other load modules off the guide rail.

[0022] According to the invention, the locking engagement can be released by allowing portions of the support profile to be moved inwardly or outwardly from a central engagement position with the guide device to both sides. For example, toothed racks and corresponding tooth profiles can be provided as locking devices on the guide device and / or support profile.

[0023] Since, according to a preferred development of the invention, it is possible for the support profile and / or the loading structure and / or a pallet or platform that carries the load, if it does not extend over the entire length of the guide device, to extend only over a portion of the length of the guide device, several loading structures, pallets or platforms with loads, each with their support profile, can be pushed one behind the other onto the guide device in the longitudinal direction of the load. These can be very different loading structures and different types of loading modules, even of different lengths, widths and heights, on one vehicle, which results in the highly variable use of the system according to the invention. The loading structure and / or the support profile can also be longer than the guide device, so that the load can, for example, extend beyond the length of the vehicle, thereby increasing the vehicle's loading capacity.

[0024] Since the vehicle is preferably designed such that during loading / unloading the guide device is approximately at the same height as a loading level, in particular a ramp, on which the support profile with the load or loading structure is located, the load or loading structure can be pushed from the loading level onto the guide device at essentially the same level. The height of the usual ramps in the delivery area of ​​warehouses where trucks dock is usually standardized. The vehicle can therefore be constructed such that the guide device is at a height adapted to the usual ramp height. This has the advantage that a separate drive is not necessarily required to push the load onto the loading area, as there is no incline.If necessary, the load can even be pushed onto the vehicle by hand without any power, especially if rollers are used in the area of ​​the guide device and / or the support profile to reduce frictional forces.

[0025] The system according to the invention can be used in a wide variety of vehicle types. For example, the guidance device can be used on a land vehicle, such as the chassis of a truck, a semi-trailer, a truck trailer, a car trailer, a pickup truck, a container vehicle, or the like. Furthermore, the system is not limited to vehicles for land transport on the road, but can also be applied on a rail vehicle, a watercraft, in an aircraft such as a helicopter or blimp, in an airplane, or in a building, in particular in a warehouse, a high-bay warehouse, or a parking garage.A particular advantage is that the system can be used at interfaces in freight transport, for example when transferring ship cargo in containers to trucks or in freight transport when transferring containers or other goods from a rail vehicle to a road vehicle or vice versa.

[0026] The system according to the invention can also be used for transport in aircraft, especially wide-body aircraft. The guidance devices can also be installed in the cargo hold of the aircraft, allowing the cargo on support profiles to be transferred from the aircraft to a truck, for example. If necessary, lifting devices are used to compensate for a level difference caused by the aircraft's design. The system is also suitable for transporting goods on watercraft (ships).

[0027] Another interesting area of ​​application is the transport of cars in parking garages. For this purpose, the chassis of a car can be equipped with a support profile mounted on the underside near the underbody. If necessary, the support profile can be folded away when not in use (similar to the way retractable trailer hitches on cars are already used). In this way, insufficient ground clearance in road traffic is prevented by the support profile protruding downwards in the floor area. The car can be maneuvered in the parking garage in such a way that the support profile drives onto a corresponding guide device in the parking garage, thus establishing an engagement between these guide devices. The driver can then leave the vehicle, which is then stored in a parking box in the parking garage via a conveyor system.If the driver needs the vehicle again, he or she requests it, for example via his or her smartphone or by pressing a switch or control button, or the process is triggered when paying at the parking garage cash desk, so that the driver can collect his or her vehicle, which has since been delivered to a designated handover point, without any delay when leaving.

[0028] If cars or trucks are equipped with such support profiles on the underside, they can also be used in workshops, for example. There, a vehicle can drive onto a lift equipped with the corresponding guide system and is held securely on the lift after the work is completed, if necessary after locking the guide elements.

[0029] The guide device according to the invention can, for example, also be located on a forklift truck, a crane, a lifting device, an industrial truck or another type of transport device, which then receives a load or a loading structure via the said support device with the support profile in the manner described above.

[0030] The carrying device can, for example, also be optionally equipped with additional rollers so that the load or the loading structure can be moved on a surface on these rollers even in a state in which there is no engagement with a guide device of a vehicle.

[0031] The features mentioned in the subclaims relate to preferred developments of the inventive solution. Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in more detail using exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Showing: Fig. 1 a view of an exemplary support profile on which the load or a loading structure is attached; Fig. 2 an enlarged view of a detail of the supporting profile of Fig. 1 in the locking position; Fig. 3 a corresponding view of the supporting profile of Fig. 2 in the unlocked position; Fig. 4 a side view of the support profile of Fig. 3 in the direction of arrow IV of Fig. 3 seen; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a guide device according to the invention mounted on the chassis of a truck, seen from the rear of the vehicle; Fig. 6 a cross-sectional view through a part of the Fig. 5 shown guide device; Fig. 7 a sectional view showing the support of an end region of the support profile on one of the guide devices of the vehicle.

[0034] First, with reference to the Fig. 1 to 4, the structure of a support profile, on which the load or cargo is secured according to the invention, is explained in more detail. The support profile, designated overall by the reference numeral 10, comprises a support 11 extending in the mounted position in the transverse direction of the loading area, on which, for example, a platform or the like (not shown here) can be attached, on which, in turn, the cargo can be placed. Or a loading structure for a specific vehicle type is mounted on one or more supports 11 of the Fig. 1. At each end of the carrier 11, there is a device at each of its two end areas, which serves to connect to guide rails of a guide device arranged on the truck (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) to work together, whereby an engagement between the supporting profile according to Fig. 1 and the guidance device on the truck.

[0035] An end region of the support profile 10 is in Fig. 2 is shown enlarged. As can be seen there, there are various rollers on the support profile which enable a sliding movement of the support profile in the longitudinal direction of the loading area of ​​the truck when the support profile 10 is in engagement with the rail-like guide device on the truck. On the one hand, one or more rollers 12 are provided, the axes of which extend essentially at a right angle to the extension of the support 11, as well as one or more further rollers 13, the axes of which each run approximately at a right angle to the axes of the rollers 12. These rollers 12, 13 are each mounted on the support profile 10 so as to be rotatable about their axis. This arrangement of the rollers 12, 13 ensures that the support profile is guided along two guide surfaces of the guide device of the truck which are essentially perpendicular to one another.The rollers 12 can, for example, be arranged on the underside of a flange 14, which in the assembled state runs approximately horizontally, in the outer end region of the support profile 10, such that the running surface of the rollers 12 faces outwards, whereas the other rollers 13 are located somewhat further inwards towards the center of the support profile 10 and, for example, are oriented with their running surface facing upwards. The rollers 13 can, for example, be rotatably mounted between two flanges 15, 16, which are fastened to the upper side of a plate 17, which in turn is connected to the end region of the support 11. The other rollers 13 are thus located on the upper side of the plate 17, with their roller axis being aligned horizontally in the assembled state.The rollers 12, on the other hand, are located on the underside of the plate 17 and somewhat further outwards relative to the rollers 13, and their roller axis, when mounted, runs in a vertical direction and is thus aligned at right angles to the roller axis of the rollers 13.

[0036] Connected to the plate 17, which is horizontal in the assembled state, is another plate 18 which is directed downwards and is aligned approximately at a right angle to the plate 17, whereby both plates 17, 18 can practically also be designed as an angle plate and consist of one component. In this plate 18, which is directed downwards as seen from the support 11, there is mounted a hollow, rectangular, box-shaped guide profile 19 which slidably receives a locking device 20. A handle 21 is attached to the locking device 20 for manual operation. The locking device 20 is moved into or out of the guide profile 20 in the direction of the Fig. 1, i.e., in principle, in a direction parallel to the extension of the support 11 and, with respect to the vehicle, transverse to the longitudinal extension of the loading area and thus transverse to the alignment of the rails of the guide device on the chassis of the truck, along which the support profile 10 is displaced with the load. The locking device 20 serves to establish an engagement in the transverse direction between the support profile 10 and the guide device on the chassis of the truck, such that the support profile is fixed in a predetermined inserted position on the truck and cannot be displaced further in the longitudinal direction or displaces itself unintentionally in the longitudinal direction on the vehicle (e.g., when the vehicle is tilted).However, this locking device 20 also ensures that the support profile 10 and the load located on it cannot lift upwards from the guide rails of the guide device of the vehicle in the locked position, which will be explained in more detail below.

[0037] The following will firstly refer to the Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the guide device according to the invention on the chassis of the truck is described in more detail. In principle, the exemplary embodiment involves an arrangement of two profile-shaped guide rails 23, 24 which run parallel to one another and are mounted on the chassis 22 and which are interconnected and stiffened by a plurality of struts 25 which run in the transverse direction of the vehicle and are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the loading area. The guide rails 23, 24 have a basically C-shaped profile with two approximately horizontal legs 26, 27 which, in the mounted state, run inwards at the top and bottom, respectively, and an approximately vertical web 28 which, viewed in the transverse direction of the truck chassis, is located on the outside, so that both guide rails 23, 24 form an inwardly open C-profile and the two legs 26, 27 extend from the vertical web 28 at its upper and lower ends, respectively. As can be further seen from Fig. As can be seen in Figure 6, a toothed rack 29 with a toothed profile is mounted on the inside of the vertical web 28 in each of the two guide rails. The function of these racks 29, which interact with the locking devices 20 of the support profile described above, is explained in more detail below.

[0038] A toothed profile 30 is attached to each of the outward-facing ends of the locking devices, which can be moved in the box-shaped guide profiles as seen in the transverse direction. If the support profile 10 is located on the chassis of the truck and is thus inserted longitudinally into the guide rails 23, 24, the locking device 20 is pushed outwards at both ends to secure the support profile 10, for example by means of the handle 21, whereby the toothed profiles 30, which are located on the outside of the locking devices 20 (as seen in the transverse direction), engage with the toothed racks 29 attached to the inside of the guide rails 23, 24, so that thereafter displacement of the support profile 10 in the longitudinal direction of the loading area is no longer possible.In this way, the load carried by the support profile 10 or the loading structure connected to the support profile is secured on the chassis of the truck in the intended position.

[0039] If several load units or loading structures are pushed into the guide rails one after the other in the longitudinal direction, it may be advantageous to be able to lift a single load unit to be unloaded from the vehicle, for example, using a suitable lifting device, without first having to push other load units off the loading area, as the latter would be more time-consuming. Therefore, according to a preferred variant of the invention, the engagement between the guide rails 23, 24 of the truck and the support profile can be released, and after releasing the locking devices 20, the support profile can also be lifted upward.This is possible because the locking devices 20 can each be pulled inward so far that they lie beyond the upper horizontal leg 26, so that no element of the support profile 10 is located below the upper horizontal leg 26. Thus, the engagement between the guide rails 23, 24 and the support profile 10 is released, allowing the latter to be easily lifted upwards. In this way, individual loads can be removed from the truck's loading area by lifting upwards.

[0040] The following is based on the Fig. 6 and Fig. Figure 7 explains how the inserted support profile 10 rests on and in the guide rails 23, 24 of the truck. The guide rails 23, 24 have a horizontal support surface 26a on the upper side of the upper horizontal leg 26, on which the additional rollers 13 of the support profile roll when the support profile 10 is moved. Furthermore, the guide rails 23, 24 have a vertical contact surface 28a on the outside of the vertical web 28, on which the rollers 12 of the support profile 10 roll when the support profile 10 is moved. Thus, two surfaces 26 a and 28 a are provided on the guide rails 23, 24, arranged approximately at right angles to one another, on which rollers of the support profile 10 can roll, wherein, in the case of two guide rails 23, 24, the rollers 12 each provide lateral guidance at the end at both ends of the support profile 10 and lateral play of the support profile 10 in the guide device of the truck is avoided.The upper horizontal support surfaces 26 a for the rollers 13 ensure sliding guidance with low friction even when the load to be moved or the loading structure has a high dead weight.

[0041] How to Fig. As can be seen in Figure 7, in which one end of a support profile 10 is shown engaging with a guide rail 23, 24, the angularly arranged plates 17, 18 then overlap the inside of the upper horizontal leg 26 of the C-profile. The roller 13 runs on the support surface 26a and the roller 12 on the flange 14 runs on the outer surface 28a of the vertical leg 28 of the C-profile. Since the plate 18 projects downwards on the inside of the C-profile of the guide rail, the transversely displaceable locking device 20 lies below the upper leg 26 of the guide rail and can be in the advanced locking position, which is shown in Fig. 7, engage with its end tooth profile 30 in the rack 29 on the inside of the vertical leg 28 of the C-profile. If the locking device 20 is pulled slightly inwards, ie in the drawing according to Fig.7 to the right, then this engagement between the toothed profile 30 and the toothed rack 29 is released and it is then possible to move the support profile 10 in a guided movement on the two guide rails 23, 24 in the longitudinal direction of the loading area of ​​the vehicle. The support profile can be secured again in the desired position by reinserting the locking device 20 into the toothed rack 29. If, on the other hand, the locking device 20 is pulled back completely, i.e. so far that it lies beyond the alignment of the upper horizontal leg 26, then it is possible to lift the entire support profile 10 upwards out of the guide rails 23, 24 by means of a lifting device and thus lift individual loads from the loading area.
