Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a storage and / or transport device with improved deflection properties. State of the art
[0002] Pallets, particularly those made of plastic, are known from the prior art, but these are often not suitable for long-term use. Due to the nature of the plastic, frequent transport and loading with heavy goods lead to deformation, especially flexing, of the plastic surface. This results in the goods no longer being arranged evenly and can cause them to tip over or even slip off the pallet. Furthermore, flexing also reduces the overall stability of these pallets, as it often increases the likelihood of breakage. Task
[0003] In order to continue using plastic in storage and / or transport devices due to its low weight in long-term applications, the present invention aims to provide a storage and / or transport device that exhibits significantly reduced deflection, particularly in two spatial directions, especially during long-term use. Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a storage and / or transport device that is exceptionally flat overall, such that its overall height and / or the entry height for forklifts correspond to the geometric design of known wooden pallets. Solution
[0004] The problem is solved by the technical features specified in claim 1.
[0005] The core of the invention lies in the design of a storage and / or transport device for goods, which has at least one planar support element for receiving goods. This support element has a top surface for the goods and a bottom surface facing away from it.
[0006] Furthermore, the storage and / or transport device for goods has at least one support foot for spacing the at least one support element from a surface.
[0007] The storage and / or transport device for goods also advantageously features at least one reinforcing element. This has proven beneficial because this at least one reinforcing element significantly reduces or even completely prevents deflection of the surface or the entire support element, advantageously in at least two spatial directions. The at least one reinforcing element is designed in such a way that it remains dimensionally stable, particularly when heavy loads are regularly placed on the storage and / or transport device for goods. The typical sagging of purely plastic storage and / or transport devices is thus advantageously avoided.
[0008] Advantageously, at least one support element is designed as a flat surface. This ensures optimal stackability and arrangement of goods on the support element. It also allows for simple and quick loading into transport vehicles such as trucks or trains. Particularly advantageous is the design of the support element as having a top surface and a separate bottom surface. This provides a stable support area for goods, which can be arranged on the support element, specifically on its top surface. Furthermore, it is advantageous for the support element to be designed as a single piece. It is also advantageous for it to be continuous.It is also conceivable that the upper surface of the load carrier and the lower surface of the carrier, at least in sections, are connected by a circumferential edge. This further increases stability. Depending on the design, the support element may have additional openings. This is advantageous because it allows water to drain away and prevents standing water.
[0009] Furthermore, it is advantageous that at least one, and preferably several, support feet are attached to the underside of the support. This is beneficial because it creates a gap between the support element and the surface below. This allows the storage and / or transport device to be easily picked up and repositioned using a pallet truck or forklift.
[0010] Further advantageous features are set out in the dependent claims.
[0011] In a further advantageous embodiment, the storage and / or transport device is designed as a reusable storage and / or transport device. This is advantageous because it ensures long-term use. The storage and / or transport device can therefore be used multiple times.
[0012] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one reinforcing element is designed as a flat surface. Advantageously, "flat" here means extending in the xy-plane. A horizontal orientation is also advantageous. This is beneficial because it makes it possible, for the first time, to stabilize the relevant bearing surface for heavy goods that can be placed on the upper surface of the load carrier. Thus, a permanently dimensionally stable bearing surface can be provided on the upper surface of the load carrier. The typical "sagging" is avoided.
[0013] Particularly advantageous is the geometric design of at least one reinforcing element that corresponds to the underside of the beam. This is beneficial because, during assembly, the at least one reinforcing element can be positioned flat beneath the underside of the beam and then connected to it, for example, by frictional and / or positive locking. Following this, the feet, which are advantageously already firmly connected to the respective connecting element, can be mounted. It has proven advantageous if at least one of the feet has at least one upward-extending projection towards the underside of the beam, which can be inserted into and fixed in a corresponding recess and / or opening on the underside of the beam.The fixing can be achieved through a force-fit and / or form-fit connection, or through any other physical and / or chemical fixing method, such as gluing or welding. A particularly advantageous aspect of arranging the feet on the support element is that at least one reinforcing element on the underside of the support is also included, so that it is additionally held and clamped in place by the arrangement of the feet on the underside of the support.
[0014] In a further advantageous embodiment, it is also conceivable that the at least one reinforcing element can be arranged, at least partially, in geometrically complementary recesses and / or openings on the underside of the support. These can, for example, be designed as channels. The channels, also referred to as guide channels, are particularly advantageously formed by at least one, and preferably several, projections. This allows the at least one reinforcing element to be pre-secured on the underside of the support before the feet provide the additional fixation. This pre-fixation can, for example, be achieved via a positive fit and / or force fit, so arrangements using a click mechanism are conceivable.
[0015] This is not to be understood as a limitation, so it is also conceivable that at least one reinforcing element is already incorporated into the manufacturing process of the support element and, for example, is injection-molded, at least in sections. It is conceivable to position the reinforcing element centrally between the top and bottom surfaces of the load carrier. However, this is not to be understood as a restriction, so a displacement towards the top and / or bottom surfaces of the load carrier is also possible. Advantageously, the reinforcing element extends essentially parallel to the top surface of the load carrier. It is also conceivable that the reinforcing element remains exposed in the area of the support feet to enable the mechanism described above.
[0016] Furthermore, this is not to be understood as a limitation, so it is also conceivable that the at least one reinforcing element is coupled to and / or arranged on the base surfaces facing upwards towards the underside of the support, at least partially. This arrangement can be particularly advantageous in terms of slip resistance or durability. For this purpose, it has proven advantageous if the base surface has at least one projection. This projection is particularly advantageous as a guide that interacts with the geometry, advantageously designed as a lattice structure, of the at least one reinforcing element and prevents it from slipping. Channels are also advantageously formed in which the lattice structure of the reinforcing element can be arranged, at least partially.
[0017] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one reinforcing element is designed in a grid-like form. This is advantageous because it allows for weight savings. Finally, the grid structure also proves advantageous if, in an advantageous embodiment of the storage and / or transport device, it is at least partially, and preferably completely, injection-molded directly into the carrier element during its manufacture. The grid structure enables a particularly stable form-fit and / or force-fit connection between the carrier element, which is advantageously made of plastic, and the at least one reinforcing element, which is advantageously made of a material other than plastic.
[0018] In a further advantageous embodiment of the storage and / or transport device, the grid structure proves beneficial because it allows for the coupling between the support element and the at least one base. In the simplest case, this can be achieved via an additional locking mechanism, click mechanism, or the like. However, this is not to be understood as a limitation, so that the coupling can also be held and secured with fixing means, such as screws. In this case, the grid-like reinforcing element is not completely molded in place but is freely accessible in the area of the bases to be mounted. This allows the necessary coupling between the support element and the bases to be implemented.
[0019] Furthermore, the grid-like design of the reinforcement element offers the advantage that the reinforcement can be provided in two spatial directions. This makes it possible, for the first time, to prevent deflection of the support element, and thus of the entire storage and / or transport device, within the defined horizontal plane, both in the X-direction (longitudinal direction) and in the Y-direction (transverse direction), using only a single, continuous reinforcement element. Advantageously, at least one grid-like reinforcement element is formed over a flat surface and lies advantageously in a horizontal XY plane.
[0020] Due to its planar and / or grid-like design, the reinforcing element can be incorporated into and / or arranged on the storage and / or transport device in various configurations. The reinforcing element advantageously features longitudinal and transverse elements that span the entire surface. Longitudinal and / or transverse elements are particularly advantageous when designed as a double layer. A woven structure can be incorporated for exceptional dimensional stability. In this case, the transverse elements can be advantageously positioned alternately above and below the longitudinal elements. The resulting space savings allow the storage and / or transport device to be designed with the main dimensions of a standard wooden pallet.
[0021] In another advantageous embodiment, longitudinal and transverse elements can be fixed to each other at the contact surfaces, for example by welding, soldering, gluing or the like.
[0022] In a further advantageous embodiment, the reinforcing element has a double-layered edge finish. This is advantageous for assembly, as no protruding elements can cause injury.
[0023] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one reinforcing element is designed as a single, continuous component. The planar, grid-like design allows for a high degree of dimensional stability in the bearings and / or transport devices for the first time. This is particularly advantageous for each bearing and / or
[0024] The transport device provides only one reinforcing element. This element is advantageously designed in such a way that it forms at least partially common bearing surfaces with the provided feet. Thus, the reinforcing element advantageously spans and / or couples the feet, at least partially.
[0025] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one reinforcing element is arranged flat between at least one support element and at least one base. This is advantageous because it allows for particularly quick assembly. For example, the at least one base can be pre-positioned. The at least one reinforcing element is then coupled to the at least one base. This can be done, for example, by placing it on top. To secure the element, it can be additionally fixed to the base, for example, by screwing it in place. Finally, the at least one support element is positioned on the reinforcing element and advantageously fixed. This can also be done by a click mechanism, a locking mechanism, and / or mechanical fixings, such as screws. Thus, a sandwich storage and / or transport device is formed.In this embodiment, the upper and lower surfaces of the load carrier are permanently connected by a surrounding frame.
[0026] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one support element comprises the at least one reinforcing element, at least partially. Here, the at least one reinforcing element is arranged at least partially within the at least one support element. In the simplest embodiment, the reinforcing element is at least partially enclosed by the support element.
[0027] For this purpose, the top and bottom of the load carrier are permanently connected by a surrounding frame.
[0028] Advantageously, the underside of the support is not completely closed. Openings can be provided in the underside of the support, particularly in the area of the feet, through which the reinforcing element is accessible from below, section by section. It is especially advantageous that the openings correspond to the geometry of the feet, so that the feet can be inserted into the openings, at least section by section, and / or fixed to the underside of the support and / or to the reinforcing element accessible through them.
[0029] For example, the feet can be pre-positioned during assembly. The reinforcement element and the support element form a single unit. The reinforcement element is advantageously injection-molded into the support element. Predefined openings on the underside of the support allow the feet to be coupled to the unit by creating common contact surfaces between the reinforcement element and the feet at the foot positions. The unit is advantageously fixed with the predefined feet, resulting in a dimensionally stable storage and / or transport device. This ensures continuous force distribution and prevents bending of the support element with the reinforcement element inside.
[0030] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one support element is simultaneously the at least one reinforcement element. In this case, a separate support element is omitted. The reinforcement element forms the upper surface of the load carrier and the lower surface of the load carrier facing away from it. In this case, the upper and lower surfaces of the load carrier are frameless. Here, too, the reinforcement element is lattice-shaped and planar. Particularly advantageously, in this embodiment as well, it has areas that can be coupled to and advantageously fixed to the predetermined support feet.
[0031] In a further advantageous embodiment, the reinforcing element can be coupled to the support element from below, the upper and lower surfaces of which are connected by a frame. In the simplest case, this can be achieved, for example, by gluing. The coupling to the feet is then advantageously effected by the at least one reinforcing element. The at least one support element can span the reinforcing element but does not necessarily have to participate in the coupling to the feet.
[0032] In further advantageous embodiments, it has proven beneficial if the feet are at least partially designed as hollow bodies. This is advantageous because it allows for an additional reduction in weight. It is particularly advantageous to provide struts inside the hollow bodies, which provide and enable additional stability and targeted force distribution. It is also particularly advantageous for the feet to terminate upwards, i.e., towards the underside of the support, with struts. This is advantageous because these struts can simultaneously form recesses or indentations with which the at least one reinforcing element forms contact surfaces, at least partially. In the simplest case, the grid-shaped reinforcing element, with its longitudinal and transverse elements, can be inserted into the struts of the feet. This is particularly advantageous because it is precisely fitted. Thus, a coupling can be formed.It is conceivable to create an additional fixing, for example by means of screws, between the base and the reinforcement element.
[0033] In a further advantageous embodiment, it has proven beneficial if some of the feet have a larger cross-sectional area than the other feet. Here, "cross-section" advantageously refers to the contact surface with which the at least one reinforcing element is coupled. If, in an exemplary embodiment, a total of nine feet are provided, with three always arranged in a row and connected to each other via two connecting elements, this results in three rows. For particularly high dimensional stability, it has proven advantageous to design the feet of the middle row with a larger cross-sectional area than the feet of the two outer rows. This allows for an additional, larger contact surface of the feet in the middle for the at least one reinforcing element. This further improves the distribution of the force acting there.The shape stability is maintained.
[0034] In a further advantageous embodiment, at least two support feet can be permanently connected to one another via a connecting element. It has proven particularly advantageous if three support feet, arranged in a row, are permanently connected to one another via two connecting elements or a common connecting element. The connecting elements described here can also advantageously be understood as skids. The at least one connecting element allows the connected support feet to remain more stable against external forces, for example, from a pallet truck, without being torn directly from the underside of the support. Advantageously, the skids have a ribbed structure, at least in some sections. This is beneficial because it provides additional stability and reduces weight.
[0035] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the storage and / or transport device has a total of nine support feet, with three support feet arranged in a row and connected to each other via connecting elements. Consequently, this particularly advantageous embodiment has a total of six connecting elements. Depending on the embodiment, the support feet can be considered a separate assembly unit that can be attached and fixed to a previously manufactured support element from below. This is, of course, not to be understood as a limitation, so it is also conceivable that the support feet can be directly injection-molded and molded onto the support element during its manufacture.
[0036] The storage and / or transport device is particularly advantageously made of plastic and can be manufactured in the simplest embodiment using injection molding. The support element is particularly advantageously made of plastic and can be manufactured in the simplest embodiment using injection molding. The feet are particularly advantageously made of plastic and can be manufactured in the simplest embodiment using injection molding. The at least one connecting element is particularly advantageously made of plastic and can be manufactured in the simplest embodiment using injection molding.
[0037] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one reinforcing element can be made of possible materials such as metal, for example steel, inorganic fibers, for example ceramic fibers, or natural materials, for example wood, bamboo, or also ceramic materials and / or combinations thereof.
[0038] The storage and / or transport device can also be advantageously referred to as a hybrid storage and / or transport device. This is because the reinforcing element is made of a different material than the rest of the storage and / or transport device. In the simplest example, the storage and / or transport device can be made of plastic, preferably thermoplastic plastic(s), whereas the at least one reinforcing element is made of a different material, for example, metal, preferably steel. The hybrid structure is formed by the different materials.
[0039] In a further advantageous embodiment, the storage and / or transport device can have at least one transmitting and / or receiving unit. In the simplest case, the unit can be designed as an RFID tag. For this purpose, it has proven advantageous if the storage and / or transport device has at least one recess for this purpose. This allows data from the goods on the storage and / or transport device and / or data from the storage and / or transport device itself to be read and recorded particularly easily.
[0040] Furthermore, the present invention enables, for the first time, the use of the storage and / or transport device as a replacement for wooden pallets.
[0041] Further advantages, features and design possibilities will result from the following description of figures illustrating exemplary embodiments, which are not to be understood as restrictive. Brief description of the drawings
[0042] The drawings show: Figure 1 a storage and transport device; Figure 2 an exemplary reinforcing element; Figure 3 a perspective view of a support element; Figure 4 a perspective view of the feet; Figure 5 a perspective view of the feet with reinforcement element; Figure 6 an enlarged view from Figure 5 ; Figure 7 another perspective view of the reinforcement element; Figure 8 a perspective underside view of the support element with reinforcement element; and Figure 9 an enlargement of a section from Figure 8 . Figures 10 to 13 another embodiment of the storage and / or transport device.
[0043] In the drawings, elements designated with the same reference numerals are essentially equivalent to one another, unless otherwise indicated. Furthermore, components that are not essential for understanding the technical teaching disclosed herein are not shown or described. Additionally, reference numerals are not repeated for all elements already introduced and illustrated, provided that the elements themselves and their function have already been described or are known to a person skilled in the art. Detailed description of exemplary implementations
[0044] In Figure 1A storage and / or transport device 1 is shown. This device has a support element 2, on the underside of which several feet 4 are arranged. These feet 4 serve to space the support element 2 away from the ground. For additional stability, the feet 4 are permanently connected to each other by connecting elements 6. The storage and / or transport device 1 shown here is particularly advantageously made of plastic. The storage and / or transport device 1 shown here, made of plastic, has, for the first time, the dimensions of standard wooden pallets, such as Euro pallets.
[0045] This is possible because the storage and / or transport device 1 described here additionally has at least one reinforcing element 12, which can, for example, be made of metal. A perspective view of the reinforcing element 12 is shown in Figure 2The figure shows that the reinforcing element 12 is planar and also has a lattice structure. Depending on the application, the lattice structure can be regular. The reinforcing element 12 extends planarly in the XY plane. Advantageously, the reinforcing element 12 shown here is formed in a single layer. It is particularly advantageous if the reinforcing element 12 is continuous and / or continuous. This results in particularly good dimensional stability of the storage and / or transport device.
[0046] In Figure 3 Another perspective view of support element 2 is shown. Here, the upper surface of the load carrier 8 and the surrounding edge are visible.
[0047] In Figure 4 As an example, a total of nine support feet 4 are shown, whereby three support feet 4 are always permanently connected to each other via two connecting elements 6. Thus, 3 runners are formed.
[0048] The upper surface of the base 13 is provided with varying numbers of projections 14-28. The number and geometry of the projections depend on where the respective base 4 is to be positioned. All projections 14-28 have in common that they form intervening channels, such as 30, 32. The lattice structure of the at least one reinforcing element 12 can then be inserted, at least partially, into these channels 30, 32. The channels 30, 32 are advantageously designed with a geometry complementary to the lattice structure, allowing for quick and easy insertion. This is not to be understood as a limitation; it is also conceivable that the lattice structure must be pressed into the channels 30, 32 and then held in place by the projections 14-28 through the application of compressive force.
[0049] Figure 5 shows the view from Figure 4with added reinforcement element 12. Here it is shown how such reinforcement element 12 is inserted into the channels 30, 32 and held in place by the further projections 14-28 (not all shown for better illustration). Figure 6 is an enlarged section from Figure 5 The figure shows that the grid structure of the reinforcing element 12 is inserted into and held in the channel 30. It is also evident that the channel, formed by the projections 24, is higher in its vertical extent than the reinforcing element 12. This advantageously ensures that the reinforcing element 12 does not interfere with the fixing of the feet 4 to the support element (not shown here).
[0050] In Figure 7Another perspective view of a reinforcement element 12 is shown. Here it can be seen that the two edge areas have enlarged grid structures. This is advantageous for fixing them in the channels of the feet (not shown here).
[0051] In Figure 8The underside of the support 10 is shown in perspective. The reinforcing element 12 is arranged on this underside of the support 10 as an example. This arrangement is achieved by means of numerous projections 36-44, which in turn form intervening channels 46-54. In the embodiment shown here, the channels 46-54 are already fitted with the reinforcing element 12. Here, too, the geometric extension of the channels and / or the projections 36-44 in vertical height higher than the lattice structure of the reinforcing element 12 is particularly advantageous. This ensures that the reinforcing element 12 can be inserted between the projections 36-44 and does not protrude beyond them. Finally, a total of nine coupling surfaces 34 are also provided on the underside of the support 10, corresponding to the number and position of the feet (not shown here).
[0052] In Figure 9 is ultimately an enlarged section of Figure 8The coupling means 34 of the underside of the support 10 is shown here. The reinforcing element 12 is lattice-shaped and arranged on the underside of the support 10 between the projections in the channel 48.
[0053] Figures 10 to 13 Figure 1 shows a further embodiment of the storage and / or transport device 100. Here, a separate support element is completely dispensed with. The illustrated reinforcement element also serves as the support element, and the goods can be positioned directly on the reinforcement element.
[0054] In Figure 10The reinforcing element 112 is shown first. It is particularly advantageous that the reinforcing element 112 is continuous and / or continuous. This results in particularly good dimensional stability of the storage and / or transport device 100. The reinforcing element 112 has both longitudinal elements 112a and transverse elements 112b. It is also shown that the longitudinal elements 112a and the transverse elements 112b are advantageously rod-shaped. The transverse elements 112b are advantageously interwoven with the longitudinal elements 112a. This means that the transverse elements 112b are alternately guided above and below the longitudinal elements 112a. For additional stabilization, in this embodiment both the longitudinal elements 112a and the transverse elements 112b are provided in two layers. This allows for the formation of a particularly dimensionally stable reinforcing element 112.The double-bar-shaped edge termination 112c is particularly advantageous.
[0055] In Figure 11 The feet 104 are shown. A total of nine feet 104 are depicted here. Three feet 104 are arranged in a row and permanently connected to each other by two connecting elements 106. For additional stabilization and weight reduction, the connecting elements 106 have a ribbed structure in some sections. It is also shown that the feet 104 in the middle row have a larger cross-sectional area than the feet 104 in the two outer rows. All the feet 104 shown are designed as hollow bodies and have internal struts 115. This provides stability while saving weight.
[0056] Furthermore, fixing openings 117 are provided. The reinforcement element 112, which can be arranged on top of these openings, can be attached via these openings. Figure 10Advantageously coupled to the feet 104, for example screwed together.
[0057] The feet 104 form numerous openings 119 via the struts 115 and their walls. The reinforcing element can be inserted into these openings 119. Figure 10 It can be inserted at least partially with its longitudinal and / or transverse elements (not shown). The U-shaped openings are advantageous. They provide sufficient security against unwanted slippage and hold the reinforcing element in position.
[0058] In Figure 12 The composite storage and / or transport device 100 is shown, which includes a reinforcing element 112 ( Figure 10 ) and the feet 104 made of Figure 11The double-bar-shaped edge 112c runs circumferentially through the openings 119 of the feet 104. At the same time, part of the transverse elements 112b and the longitudinal elements 112a also run through openings 119 for stabilization and fixation. The reinforcing element 112 forms the load carrier surface 108. Facing away from this, in the direction downwards of the feet, is the underside of the carrier 110.
[0059] In Figure 13 is a perspective bottom view of the storage and / or transport device made of Figure 12The underside of the support 110 is shown here. The connecting elements 106 can advantageously have further openings 123. This allows water to drain away, for example, in the case of rain. The same applies to the base 121 of the feet 104. For particularly high stability against sagging, it has proven advantageous to design the reinforcing element 112 as a double layer. The reinforcing element 112 is particularly advantageously designed from round metal bars. These are advantageously welded together to ensure sufficient stability.
[0060] Although the invention has been further illustrated and described in detail by the advantageous embodiments, the invention is not limited by the disclosed examples. Other variations can be derived by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the invention. In particular, the invention is not limited to the combinations of features specified below, but other combinations and partial combinations of the disclosed features that are obviously executable by a person skilled in the art can also be formed.
