[0002] Climbing system and method for moving a climbing system
[0003] The present invention relates to a climbing system. The invention further relates to a method for moving a climbing system.
[0004] Climbing systems are known as devices designed to climb building walls, for example, for renovation or cleaning work, or, more specifically, in building construction, to erect the building walls up which the climbing system climbs. For example, in building construction, wall sections are constructed in sections, which, after curing, the climbing system can climb up to continue the construction of the building.
[0005] As buildings are being constructed ever higher, larger, faster, and / or more cost-effectively, there is a continuing interest in developing improved climbing systems and improved methods for moving such climbing systems.
[0006] An object of the invention is to describe aspects that enable an improved climbing system and a corresponding improved method for moving such a climbing system.
[0007] The above-mentioned object is achieved with the climbing system and the method for moving a climbing system according to the independent patent claims and the aspects mentioned herein. Further advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the dependent patent claims, as well as in the figures and the following description.
[0008] According to a first aspect, a climbing system comprises a first anchoring shoe intended to be attached to an already erected first wall section. The climbing system further comprises a climbing drive comprising a first drive component and a second drive component, wherein the first drive component and the second drive component are movable relative to one another. Furthermore, the climbing system comprises a work platform intended to be fixed to the first drive component of the climbing drive, and a climbing shoe intended to be fixed to the second drive component of the climbing drive. The climbing shoe is configured to be fixed to the first anchoring shoe.
[0009] One advantage of the climbing system described here is that it enables uncomplicated and fast climbing. Since the climbing system features interacting shoes (anchoring shoe and climbing shoe), a particularly efficient transfer of power from the work platform to the first wall section is guaranteed. This means that heavier loads can be lifted with the climbing system, or simpler elements of the climbing system can be used. Furthermore, the two-part design, in the form of a climbing shoe and an anchoring shoe, allows the individual shoes to be designed with a relatively low weight compared to conventional climbing systems, which enables particularly simple and efficient assembly of the climbing system or modification of the climbing system during a climb.
[0010] The work platform is suitable for carrying out work on wall sections to be constructed or on wall sections already constructed. The work platform comprises at least one horizontally extending level on which, among other things, workers can stand and carry out work.
[0011] For example, the fastening provided for the first anchoring shoe on the already constructed first wall section is a detachable fastening, so that the anchoring shoe can be detached from the wall again after it has been used for climbing the climbing system.
[0012] The climbing drive is a drive that can change the height of the work platform through a relative movement of the two drive components, allowing the work platform to be lifted to the next designated section. For the purposes of this disclosure, "fixing" is understood to mean a positive connection and / or a non-positive connection and / or a mere placement and resulting fixation by a weight force of the placed element. For fixing the climbing shoe to the first anchoring shoe and / or for fixing the climbing shoe to the second drive component, positive and / or non-positive connections, for example by means of connecting elements such as pins, latches, bolts, screws, etc., can be advantageous, since laterally directed forces can act on these parts, which can be better counteracted by means of such connections.
[0013] For example, the fixation provided for the work platform on the first drive component is also a detachable fixation that can be designed to be released and reattached during use of the climbing system.
[0014] The fixation provided for the climbing shoe on the second drive component can be designed to be detachable or non-detachable.
[0015] The climbing shoe is designed to be releasably attached to the first anchoring shoe. This means, for example, that the climbing shoe can be releasably connected to the first anchoring shoe, or that the climbing shoe can be placed on the first anchoring shoe. When the work platform is attached to the first anchoring shoe, the work platform is held in position on the first wall section. However, this attachment is released for moving the work platform during a climbing operation.
[0016] According to at least one embodiment, the work platform comprises at least one horizontal support, wherein the work platform is designed to be fixed to the first anchoring shoe by means of one of the horizontal supports.
[0017] The advantage here is that this allows for particularly secure fixation of the work platform to the first anchoring shoe. Furthermore, forces from high loads can be transmitted via the horizontal support into the wall to which the first anchoring shoe is attached. According to at least one embodiment, at least one first formwork element of a formwork device is attached to the work platform. The formwork device comprises the first formwork element and a second formwork element, wherein the formwork device is designed to provide a filling space for receiving a consolidatable building material.
[0018] The advantage here is that the climbing system can be used to erect a wall. The wall constructed using the formwork device can be used for the climbing system to climb. This allows for the quick and easy construction of tall buildings.
[0019] For example, only the first formwork element is attached to the work platform. In this case, the second formwork element can be attached to a separate system on a side of the first formwork element opposite the wall to be constructed. Alternatively, the first and second formwork elements are attached to the work platform. In this case, the second formwork element is attached to the work platform, for example, via an extended horizontal beam or a gallows.
[0020] According to at least one embodiment, at least the first formwork element is attached to a vertical strut and / or at least one of the horizontal supports of the working platform.
[0021] One advantage of this is that it provides a simple way to attach the first or first and second formwork elements. Furthermore, this method of attachment allows forces generated by the formwork pressure in the backfill space caused by the filling material to be effectively dissipated.
[0022] The vertical strut is, for example, a vertical strut that connects different levels of the work platform. The vertical strut is, for example, attached to the horizontal support provided for securing the work platform to the first anchoring shoe. For example, at least the first formwork element is attached to another horizontal support arranged parallel to the horizontal support provided for securing the work platform to the first anchoring shoe.
[0023] According to at least one embodiment, the work platform has a recess in an edge region facing the first anchoring shoe. The work platform is designed to be secured to the first anchoring shoe by means of a bolt that can be inserted into the work platform.
[0024] One advantage of this approach is that it provides a simple and secure attachment of the work platform to the anchoring shoe. Furthermore, the recess in the work platform allows the work platform to slide over the first anchoring shoe once the bolt is removed, further simplifying and accelerating the climb.
[0025] According to at least one embodiment, the first anchoring shoe has a holding device for the work platform.
[0026] One advantage here is that it provides a simple and secure attachment of the work platform to the anchoring shoe.
[0027] For example, the holding device comprises a support surface on which the work platform can be placed. Alternatively or additionally, the holding device comprises a recess or opening in the anchoring shoe, to which the work platform can be attached to the anchoring shoe using a pin or bolt. Alternatively or additionally, the holding device comprises a projection, pin, or other receiving device on the anchoring shoe into which a latch or hook of the work platform engages.
[0028] According to at least one embodiment, the work platform has a foldable and / or extendable beam in an edge region facing the first anchoring shoe, which, in a folded or extended state, is configured to be connected to the holding device of the first anchoring shoe. Alternatively or additionally, the work platform has a recess in the edge region facing the first anchoring shoe, and the work platform is configured to be fixed to the first anchoring shoe by means of a bolt that can be inserted into the holding device of the first anchoring shoe.
[0029] The advantage here is that the work platform can be raised along the wall, whereby the first anchoring shoe can be passed by the work platform. The first anchoring shoe can therefore already be mounted before the work platform passes the first anchoring shoe, which enables efficient and fast climbing. For example, the first anchoring shoe is attached before or while the work platform is moved towards the attachment point of the first anchoring shoe. For example, the work platform is moved towards the attachment point of the first anchoring shoe and stopped in such a way that the first anchoring shoe can be attached from a horizontal support of the work platform, by means of which the work platform can be fixed to the first anchoring shoe.After attaching the first anchoring shoe, the work platform passes the first anchoring shoe as described above and is secured to it. Alternatively, however, it is also possible to raise the work platform before the first anchoring shoe is installed, raising the work platform higher than a position where the work platform is secured to the first anchoring shoe. The first anchoring shoe can then be attached, and the work platform can then be lowered until it is secured to the first anchoring shoe.
[0030] When the work platform has passed the first anchoring shoe, the retractable bolt can be pushed into the holding device, for example, and the work platform can then be placed on the bolt, or the bolt can be pushed in so that it also engages through a corresponding opening in the work platform.
[0031] Alternatively or additionally, the work platform has a fold-out and / or extendable beam which is folded in or pushed in when the work platform is moved so that the work platform can pass the first anchoring shoe and can then be folded out or pushed out so that the work platform can then be placed on the first anchoring shoe with the folded out or pushed out bar.
[0032] Alternatively or additionally, the work platform has a gravity latch in the edge area facing the first anchoring shoe, which is designed to retract when the work platform is driven over the first anchoring shoe and to extend again after passing the first anchoring shoe. The gravity latch is retracted, for example, by pressure against the first anchoring shoe generated during the drive over, so that the work platform can pass the first anchoring shoe. As soon as the work platform has passed the first anchoring shoe, the gravity latch is extended again by a corresponding mechanism, allowing the work platform to be placed on the first anchoring shoe.
[0033] According to at least one embodiment, the first anchoring shoe and the climbing shoe each have a first opening configured to receive a pin by means of which the first anchoring shoe can be fixed to the climbing shoe. Alternatively or additionally, the first anchoring shoe has a pin, and the climbing shoe has a recess configured to receive the pin of the first anchoring shoe. Further alternatively or additionally, the climbing shoe has a pin, and the first anchoring shoe has a recess configured to receive the pin of the climbing shoe.
[0034] The advantage here is that the two openings and the use of a removable pin provide a particularly simple design that can be secured in just a few simple steps. The pin on the first anchoring shoe and the recess on the climbing shoe are advantageous in that they allow the climbing shoe to be automatically hooked onto the pin of the first anchoring shoe.
[0035] According to at least one embodiment, the first anchoring shoe has at least one receiving device for a climbing anchor. One advantage of this is that a simple and secure attachment of the anchoring shoe to the already erected first wall section is provided. The first anchoring shoe is attached to the already erected wall section by means of the climbing anchor. Such a climbing anchor can, for example, be inserted into the first wall section during the construction of the first wall section, thus ensuring uncomplicated attachment of the first anchoring shoe to the climbing anchor.
[0036] According to at least one embodiment, the climbing shoe has a second opening which is intended to fix the climbing shoe to the second drive component of the climbing drive.
[0037] The advantage of this is that it ensures a secure and easy-to-attach attachment of the climbing shoe to the second drive component. For example, the climbing shoe is attached using a bolt, pin, or to a pin on the second drive component.
[0038] According to at least one embodiment, the climbing shoe has a first compression point on a side facing the already erected first wall section. The first compression point is designed to rest on the first anchoring shoe when the climbing shoe is fixed to the first anchoring shoe.
[0039] One advantage here is that the force from the climbing system is transmitted via the climbing shoe into the wall via the first anchoring shoe. Since the first compression point rests on the first anchoring shoe, this prevents the climbing shoe from pressing directly against the wall. For example, the first anchoring shoe transfers the applied force to the wall over a larger area, which can prevent damage to the wall. Alternatively, the first compression point could also rest directly on the wall. According to at least one embodiment, the first opening of the climbing shoe, the second opening of the climbing shoe, and the first compression point are arranged essentially in a triangular shape.
[0040] One advantage of this is that it allows for a stable design of the climbing shoe. For example, the triangular shape can be an equilateral or isosceles triangle.
[0041] For example, the first opening is located in an upper area of the climbing shoe when installed, and the first compression point is located in a lower area of the climbing shoe. The climbing shoe can also be essentially triangular in shape.
[0042] According to at least one embodiment, the first anchoring shoe has a second compression point which rests on the already erected first wall section, wherein the second compression point is arranged in a region in which the first compression point rests on the first anchoring shoe.
[0043] One advantage of this is that it enables secure force transfer from the climbing system to the wall. The placement of the compression points in a common area, on opposite sides of the first anchor shoe, ensures that low shear forces act on the anchor shoe.
[0044] For example, this area extends over a maximum of one-quarter of the main extension direction of the anchoring shoe. For example, the compression points, viewed horizontally, are also arranged essentially exactly opposite each other on the sides of the anchoring shoe.
[0045] According to at least one embodiment, the distance between a center axis of the first or second drive component of the climbing drive and the already erected first wall section is at most 600 millimeters, in particular at most 450 millimeters. One advantage of this is that a small distance between the climbing drive and the wall is ensured, which leads to improved power transmission from the climbing system to the wall. This allows higher climbing loads to be lifted with simpler components than with conventional climbing systems.
[0046] According to at least one embodiment, the climbing shoe has a weight of at most 150 kilograms, in particular of at most 135 kilograms, and / or the first anchoring shoe has a weight of at most 60 kilograms, in particular of at most 30 kilograms.
[0047] The advantage of the weights specified here is that relatively low weights can be achieved for the climbing shoe and especially the anchoring shoe, which allows the shoes to be handled with little effort, sometimes even by hand by individual workers.
[0048] According to at least one embodiment, the climbing drive has a maximum stroke of 4.7 meters, in particular a maximum stroke of 4.25 meters.
[0049] The advantage here is that high climbing steps can be achieved with the climbing system. For example, when erecting a wall, high wall sections can be erected at once with only a single extension of the cylinder. This allows the work platform to be raised by the height of such a wall section without having to be extended and retracted multiple times. This further accelerates the climbing process. Alternatively, however, depending on the application, any smaller maximum lift can be used, for example, a maximum lift of 2.5 meters, or any maximum lift height in between.
[0050] According to at least one embodiment, the first drive component of the climbing drive is a piston rod and the second drive component of the climbing drive is a piston in which the piston rod is movably mounted.
[0051] The advantage here is that the use of a piston drive as a climbing drive is particularly suitable. According to at least one embodiment, the work platform is provided to be fixed to an end of the first drive component facing away from the second drive component, and the climbing shoe is provided to be fixed to an end of the second drive component facing towards the first drive component. In the case of the previously described piston drive as a climbing drive, this means that the work platform is provided to be fixed to an end of the piston rod facing away from the piston, and the climbing shoe is provided to be fixed to an end of the piston facing towards the piston rod. This can also apply analogously to other climbing drives, for example in the case of a spindle drive or other climbing drives.
[0052] One advantage of this method of attaching the work platform and climbing shoe to the respective drive components is that the buckling length of the climbing drive is reduced compared to conventional climbing systems. Depending on the design of the drive components, the buckling length can be virtually halved. This allows for significantly greater stability.
[0053] According to at least one embodiment, the climbing drive comprises a hydraulic cylinder or a motor-driven lifting device.
[0054] It is advantageous to provide particularly suitable climbing drives. The use of a hydraulic cylinder is particularly advantageous, as it allows heavy loads to be lifted with little effort. Alternatively, motor-driven lifting devices, for example, using spindle drives or rack and pinion drives, can also be used.
[0055] According to at least one embodiment, the second drive component of the climbing drive comprises a base plate designed to support the second drive component of the climbing drive on a subsurface, for example, a building floor or a ceiling of an already constructed building section. This is advantageous because, when climbing begins, the climbing drive can be securely supported on the subsurface with appropriate force distribution. This enables particularly efficient and simple erection of an initial wall section before climbing is realized via the interaction of the first anchoring shoe and the climbing shoe.
[0056] According to at least one embodiment, the second drive component comprises a tilting device on the base plate.
[0057] The advantage here is that it allows for easy repositioning of the climbing drive while it is supported on the ground. The tilting device comprises, for example, a joint device, a hemisphere, a half-shell, a dome plate, or any combination of the aforementioned elements.
[0058] According to at least one embodiment, a climbing system further comprises:
[0059] - a further first anchoring shoe intended to be attached to a further already constructed first wall section arranged at a distance from the already constructed first wall section,
[0060] - a further climbing drive comprising a further first drive component and a further second drive component, wherein the further first drive component and the further second drive component are movable relative to one another, and wherein the further first drive component of the further climbing drive is intended to be fixed to the work platform, and
[0061] - a further climbing shoe which is intended to be fixed to the further second drive component of the further climbing drive, wherein the further climbing shoe is adapted to be fixed to the further first anchoring shoe.
[0062] The advantage here is that with this climbing system two spaced-apart walls can be erected simultaneously, starting from a common working platform. All of the designs described above can be applied analogously to the other elements mentioned here. In particular, for the construction of walls that are not very far apart from each other, as is the case with building cores, for example, particularly suitable climbing systems can be provided. As an alternative to the extension of the climbing system described here, an end of the working platform facing away from the first wall can also be lifted using any other mechanism, or the climbing system can be dimensioned so that climbing is possible on just one wall.
[0063] According to a second aspect, a method for moving a climbing system is described. The climbing system comprises a climbing drive, a work platform fixed to a first drive component of the climbing drive, a first and a second anchoring shoe, and a climbing shoe fixed to a second drive component of the climbing drive. The method comprises the following steps:
[0064] - Attaching the first anchoring shoe to an already constructed first wall section,
[0065] - Fixing the climbing shoe to the first anchoring shoe,
[0066] - Attaching the second anchoring shoe to an already constructed second wall section, wherein the already constructed second wall section is arranged above the already constructed first wall section,
[0067] - Extending the climbing drive,
[0068] - Fixing the work platform to the second anchoring shoe,
[0069] - Detaching the climbing shoe from the first anchoring shoe,
[0070] - Retraction of the climbing drive, and
[0071] - Fixing the climbing shoe to the second anchoring shoe.
[0072] The method described here for moving a climbing system enables uncomplicated and therefore fast climbing. The interaction of the shoes (anchoring shoe and climbing shoe) also allows for the use of simply designed elements, particularly the shoes themselves, for climbing. These, in turn, can be handled by individual workers with little effort, depending on the dimensions of the climbing system. This is particularly advantageous when attaching the anchoring shoes, as these are continually attached to previously erected wall sections during climbing. Furthermore, the advantages and designs essentially correspond to those described in detail above in accordance with the first aspect. These explanations will not be repeated in detail here, and reference is made to the above explanations.
[0073] The sequence of steps in the method described here and in the subsequent embodiments of the method can be modified as appropriate. The sequences shown here are not intended to be limiting. For example, in the method according to the second aspect, the work platform can first be raised by extending the climbing drive and then the second anchoring shoe can be attached.
[0074] The steps can be repeated continuously on higher wall sections to climb a wall of any height. The first wall section already constructed is considered the starting point for the next climbing step.
[0075] According to at least one embodiment, the method comprises the following steps before attaching the second anchoring shoe:
[0076] - Forming a formwork device comprising a first formwork element and a second formwork element, wherein the formwork device provides a filling space,
[0077] - filling a solidifiable building material into the backfill space to construct the second wall section, and
[0078] - Removing the formwork from the erected second wall section.
[0079] The advantage here is that the climbing system described here enables the quick and uncomplicated construction of a wall. The formwork assembly, filling with the consolidatable building material, and striking of the formwork assembly are all carried out while the work platform is secured to an anchoring shoe. These steps can be performed, for example, before, after, or during the retraction of the climbing drive.
[0080] According to at least one embodiment, the method comprises the following steps:
[0081] - Detaching the first anchoring shoe from the already erected first wall section after detaching the climbing shoe from the first anchoring shoe, - Erecting a third wall section, wherein the third wall section is arranged above the already erected second wall section, and
[0082] - Attaching a third anchoring shoe to the third wall section.
[0083] The advantage here is that continuous climbing is possible. In particular, the third anchor shoe can be the previously released first anchor shoe. In this case, it is particularly advantageous that only two anchor shoes are required for climbing, which can be continuously recycled. Alternatively, the third anchor shoe can also be an additional anchor shoe.
[0084] According to at least one embodiment, the method further comprises the steps:
[0085] - Setting up, on a base, an initial formwork device,
[0086] - Construction of a first initial wall section,
[0087] - Stripping the initial formwork from the first initial wall section,
[0088] - Attaching a first initial anchoring shoe to the already constructed first initial wall section,
[0089] - Attaching a first level of the work platform to the first initial
[0090] Anchoring shoe,
[0091] - Formwork and erection of a second initial wall section located above the first initial wall section,
[0092] - Attaching a second initial anchoring shoe to the second initial wall section,
[0093] - Setting up the climbing drive on the ground,
[0094] - Attaching the first drive component of the climbing drive to the first level of the work platform or to a vertical strut of the work platform connected to the first level of the work platform,
[0095] - Extending the climbing drive, and
[0096] - Fixing the first level of the work platform to the second initial
[0097] Anchoring shoe.
[0098] The advantage of this approach is that it allows for uncomplicated setup of the climbing system at the beginning of a climb. Furthermore, a first and second initial wall section are constructed in a straightforward manner. The second initial wall section can then be the previously constructed first wall section mentioned above, where the climbing process described above is then continued. Here, too, the steps mentioned can be interchanged as required.
[0099] According to at least one embodiment, the method further comprises the steps of:
[0100] - Attaching a second level of the work platform to the first level of the work platform, the second level being located below the first level,
[0101] - Retraction of the climbing drive,
[0102] - Installing a drive unit of the climbing drive on the work platform.
[0103] The advantage here is that a tracking level is provided as part of the climbing work platform, which can be used, for example, for follow-up work on the already constructed wall. This tracking level can be used, for example, to release the anchoring shoes from the wall when they are no longer needed. The installation of the drive unit of the climbing drive allows the climbing system to climb largely autonomously, as its own drive units, such as control devices, hydraulic pumps, etc., are carried along with the climbing system. For example, the drive unit is also installed on the second level of the work platform.The attachment of the second level of the work platform is carried out, for example, after the first level has been released from the first initial anchoring shoe and before the first level has been fixed to the second initial anchoring shoe, but can also be carried out at another suitable time.
[0104] According to at least one embodiment, the method further comprises the step:
[0105] - Fastening a third level of the work platform to the first level of the work platform by means of at least one vertical strut, wherein the third level is arranged above the first level.
[0106] One advantage of installing the third level above the first level is that it provides a suitable suspension for formwork units, for example. The third level is attached, for example, after the first level of the work platform has been attached to the first initial anchoring shoe.
[0107] According to at least one embodiment, the method further comprises the steps:
[0108] - Inserting the climbing drive in an initial position, and
[0109] - Moving the climbing drive into a climbing position, whereby the climbing position has a smaller distance to the already erected first wall section than the initial position.
[0110] The advantage here is that moving the climbing drive from the initial position to the climbing position makes it as easy as possible to install the climbing drive, as the installation takes place further away from the wall. However, by moving the climbing drive closer to the wall, into the climbing position, improved power transmission is ensured for the climbing itself. For example, this relocation of the climbing drive is performed after securing the first level of the work platform to the second initial anchoring shoe.
[0111] According to at least one embodiment, the at least one vertical strut is a profile tube and the introduction of the climbing drive is carried out in the initial position through a hollow space of the profile tube.
[0112] One advantage of this is that it ensures safe and uncomplicated installation of the climbing drive into the climbing system. In this case, the climbing drive is installed after the third level has been attached to the work platform.
[0113] According to a third aspect, the above-mentioned object is achieved by a climbing drive for a climbing system. The climbing drive comprises a first drive component and a second drive component. The first drive component and the second drive component are movable relative to one another. The first drive component is intended to be fixed to a work platform of a climbing system by means of an end facing away from the second drive component. The second drive component is intended to be fixed to an already erected wall section by means of an end facing the first drive component.
[0114] One advantage of this climbing drive is that the buckling length of the climbing drive is reduced compared to conventional climbing systems. Depending on the design of the drive components, the buckling length can be virtually halved. This allows for significantly greater stability.
[0115] This can be a climbing drive for the climbing system described above. Alternatively, this climbing drive can also be used in any other climbing system that uses a climbing drive to climb a wall. For example, a climbing shoe can be provided for attachment to the already constructed wall section. This can be attached to the second drive component and engages with an anchoring shoe attached to the wall section.
[0116] According to at least one embodiment, the climbing drive is a piston drive, the first drive component is a piston rod, and the second drive component is a piston. The piston rod is designed to be fixed to the work platform by means of an end of the piston rod facing away from the piston, and the piston is designed to be fixed to an already erected wall section by means of an end of the piston rod facing the piston rod.
[0117] Further advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the attached figures and the following description. Elements with essentially the same function are given the same reference numerals in the figures, but need not be identical in all details. Since numerous figures depict various setup stages and movement sequences of the climbing system, many elements are repeated continuously in the figures. However, these are only named in detail when they first appear and are provided with reference numerals to ensure clear figures and their description.

[0127] Figure 32 shows a climbing system according to an embodiment of the invention in a state of displacing a climbing drive from an initial position into a climbing position; and Figure 33 shows two states of a detailed view of a climbing system according to an embodiment of the invention.
[0128] Figure 1 shows a climbing system 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. The climbing system 1 shown here represents a formwork system for erecting a building core with two spaced-apart walls 2. Alternatively, the climbing system 1 can also be used for other projects.
[0129] The climbing system 1 according to Figure 1 comprises a work platform 3 arranged between the walls 2. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the work platform 3 comprises a first level 4, a second level 5 arranged below the first level 4, and a third level 6 arranged above the first level 4. The levels 4, 5, 6 each extend horizontally between the walls 2 and are designed to accommodate workers in order to carry out work on the walls 2 or the climbing system 1 itself.
[0130] The first level 4 comprises a horizontal steel girder 8, which is reinforced by a truss structure 9 and which is connected via vertical struts 7 to the third level 6, which also comprises a horizontal steel girder 8. The horizontal steel girder 8 of the first level 4 is a core element of the work platform 3. The fixation of the work platform 3 to the walls 2, described below, is achieved via this horizontal steel girder 8 of the first level 4, so that high loads are introduced into already erected wall sections via the horizontal steel girder 8 of the first level 4. The second level 5 is connected to the truss structure 9 of the first level 4 via tension rods 10.
[0131] In the state of the climbing system 1 shown here, the walls 2 each have a first wall section 11 that has already been erected, which represents a most recently hardened wall section and, in the state shown, a starting position for climbing. Below the first wall section 11 that has already been erected, there are further wall sections that have already been erected, which will not be discussed in detail here. Above the first wall section 11 that has already been erected, in the state shown here, there is a formwork device 12, each comprising a first formwork element 13 and a second formwork element 14, which form a filling space for a hardenable building material, for example concrete. In the state shown here, concrete has already been poured into the filling space. Furthermore, reinforcements 15 are arranged in the walls 2 and can be seen here above the filling space.
[0132] The first formwork elements 13 are attached both directly to the horizontal steel girder 8 of the third level 6 and via the vertical struts 7 to the horizontal steel girder 8 of the first level 4. The second formwork elements 14 are held in place by an external system not shown here. Cross connections extending through the reinforcements 15 form so-called formwork anchors, which counteract the concrete pressure that occurs during concreting.
[0133] The climbing system 1 further comprises climbing shoes 16, anchoring shoes 17, and climbing drives 18. Each anchoring shoe 17 is attached to the already erected first wall section 11 by means of one or more (only one shown here) climbing anchors 19. Figure 1 shows further anchoring shoes 17, which are shown in the disassembled state on the second level 5 and held by a worker.
[0134] The climbing shoes 16 are fixed to the attached anchoring shoes 17. The climbing drive 18 is fixed to the horizontal steel beam 8 of the first level 4 of the work platform 3 with a first drive component and to the climbing shoe 16 with a second drive component. In the state shown here, the climbing shoes 16 are also each fixed to the corresponding anchoring shoe 17. The anchoring shoes 17, the climbing shoes 16, and the climbing drives 18 are discussed in more detail with reference to the following figures.
[0135] In the state of the climbing system shown here, the work platform 3 is also fixed to the attached anchoring shoes 17. In this exemplary embodiment, the horizontal steel beam 8 of the first level 4 of the work platform 3 is placed on both sides on a bar inserted into the anchoring shoes 17. However, this will also be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures. Furthermore, the fixation of the work platform 3 to the anchoring shoe 17 can also be configured differently. Another exemplary embodiment of this is shown in Figure 33.
[0136] The climbing drives 18 shown in Figure 1 are hydraulic climbing drives, each comprising a drive unit 20 mounted on the second level 5 of the work platform 3. Thus, when the climbing system 1 is moved, the drive units 20 can be moved along. The drive units 20 include, for example, control devices, pumps, and hoses, etc. for the climbing drives 18.
[0137] Moving the climbing system 1 is enabled by iteratively extending the climbing drives 18, securing the work platform 3 to upper anchoring shoes 17, releasing the climbing shoes 16 from the lower anchoring shoes 17, retracting the climbing drives 18, and securing the climbing shoes 16 to the upper anchoring shoes 17. For securing and releasing the climbing shoes 16 to the anchoring shoes, intermediate levels 21 are attached to the work platform 3, which are arranged between the first level 4 and the second level 5. However, the movement of the climbing system 1 is also explained in detail with reference to the following figures.
[0138] The design of the climbing system 1 described here and below enables the climbing drive 18 to be mounted particularly close to the wall 2, so that a particularly good introduction of force into the wall 2 is achieved. A distance between a central axis of the climbing drive 18 and a surface of the already erected first wall section 11 is, for example, at most 600 millimeters, in particular at most 450 millimeters. A climbing shoe 16, for example, in the embodiment shown here, has a weight of at most 150 kilograms, in particular at most 135 kilograms. A first anchoring shoe 17, for example, has a weight of at most 60 kilograms, in particular at most 30 kilograms.
[0139] Figure 2 shows a detailed view of the climbing system 1 according to Figure 1. Figure 2 shows in particular a section of Figure 1, in which an anchoring shoe 17 and a climbing shoe 16 are included on a wall 2, i.e. on the wall 2 shown on the left in Figure 1. Figures 3 and 4 show this anchoring shoe 17 and this climbing shoe 16 in individual views. In this Figure 2, the attachment of the anchoring shoe 17 to the climbing anchor 19 can be seen. The anchoring shoe 17 has a receiving device 22 for the climbing anchor 19, via which the anchoring shoe 17 is connected to the climbing anchor 19. The anchoring shoe 17 is attached to the wall 2 via this connection. Depending on the design of the anchoring shoe 17, it can also have several such receiving devices 22 for several climbing anchors 19.
[0140] The anchoring shoe 17 is connected to the climbing shoe 16 via a pin 23. The pin 23 is releasably inserted into the climbing shoe 16 and the anchoring shoe 17, so that when the climbing drive 18 is extended, when the pin 23 is inserted into the anchoring shoe 17 and the climbing shoe 16, the work platform 3 is raised, and when the climbing drive 18 is retracted, when the pin 23 is released from the anchoring shoe 17 and the climbing shoe 16, the climbing shoe 16 is pulled up.
[0141] To fix the climbing shoe 16 to the anchoring shoe 17 by means of a pin 23, the anchoring shoe 17 and the climbing shoe 16 each have a first opening 24 designed to receive the pin 23. These first openings 24 are shown in Figures 3 and 4.
[0142] The climbing shoe 16 further has a second opening 25, shown in Figure 4, via which the climbing shoe 16 is attached to the climbing drive 18 by means of a further pin 26, shown in Figure 2. The climbing shoe 16 is attached to a second drive component 27 of the climbing drive 18 via the pin 26. The climbing drive 18 further comprises a first drive component 28, which is movable relative to the second drive component 27. The relative movement of the two drive components 27, 28 implements the extension and retraction of the climbing drive 18.
[0143] The first drive component 28 is attached to the horizontal steel beam 8 of the first level 4 of the work platform 3 via another pin 29. The work platform 3 is attached to the first drive component 28 in an end region facing away from the second drive component 27. The climbing shoe 16 is attached to the second drive component 27 in an end region facing the first drive component 28.
[0144] In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the anchoring shoe 17 has an opening 30, shown in Figure 3, into which a bolt 31 for fastening the work platform 3 to the anchoring shoe 17 is inserted, shown in Figure 2. For this purpose, the work platform 3 has, for example, a recess (not shown here) in the region of the anchoring shoe 17, so that the work platform 3 can slide over the anchoring shoe 17 and, when the bolt 31 is subsequently inserted into the opening 30, can be placed on the bolt 31. Alternatively or additionally, the work platform can also have a fold-out and / or extendable beam (not shown here) in an edge region of the steel girder 8, which is folded out or extended after the steel girder 8 has passed the anchoring shoe 17 in order to be placed thereon.Alternatively or additionally, a gravity latch not shown here or the design described in Figure 33 can be used for this purpose.
[0145] The climbing shoe 16 has a first compression point 32 in a lower end region on a side facing the anchoring shoe 17. With this first compression point 32, the climbing shoe 16 rests on the anchoring shoe 17 in the lower region. Also in a lower region of the anchoring shoe 17, the latter has a second compression point 33, with which the anchoring shoe 17 rests on the wall 2. The first and second compression points 32, 33 are essentially at the same height when the climbing shoe 16 is fixed to the anchoring shoe 17 (height specifications here are always to be understood as referring to the wall 2).
[0146] Figure 5 shows the climbing drive 18 as it can be used in the exemplary embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2. Alternatively, this climbing drive can also be used in any other climbing system, independent of the climbing system described in the other figures. The climbing drive 18 is shown here in two different states: in a retracted state (left) and in an extended state (right). In the exemplary embodiment shown here, a hydraulic lifting cylinder is used as an example for the climbing drive 18. However, any other climbing drives can also be used for the climbing system disclosed here, for example motor-driven climbing drives.
[0147] The climbing drive 18 comprises a piston rod 34, the aforementioned first drive component, and a piston 35, the aforementioned second drive component, in which the piston rod 34 is movably mounted. In the illustration on the left in Figure 5, the piston rod 34 is fully retracted, i.e., completely contained within the piston 35, and in the illustration on the right in Figure 5, the piston rod 34 is fully extended from the piston 35. Furthermore, the climbing drive 18 comprises hydraulic elements 36 for moving the climbing drive 18.
[0148] In an end region 37 facing away from the piston 35, the piston rod 34 has an opening 38 through which the climbing drive 18 can be secured to the work platform of the climbing system. In addition, the piston rod 34 has a tab 39 in this end region 37, which is intended to be attached to an external pulling element (not shown here), for example, a crane. Via this external pulling element, the climbing drive 18 can be inserted into the climbing system or withdrawn using external force.
[0149] At an end region of the piston 35 facing the piston rod 34, the piston 25 has a sleeve 40 to which the pin 26 for fixing the climbing shoe 16 to the piston 25 is attached.
[0150] The climbing drive 18, for example, has a maximum stroke of 4.7 meters, in particular a maximum stroke of 4.25 meters. However, climbing drives 18 with a smaller maximum stroke can also be used.
[0151] Figure 6 shows a detailed view of a climbing system according to an embodiment of the invention. Figure 6 also shows a section illustrating a climbing shoe 16 and an anchoring shoe 17. Figure 6 shows a further embodiment of the climbing shoe 16 and the anchoring shoe 17.
[0152] The climbing shoe 16 according to this embodiment is designed in the form of a hook that is hooked onto a bolt 41 of the anchoring shoe 17 to secure the shoes. The bolt 41 is, for example, permanently connected, ie, non-removably, to the anchoring shoe 17 in this embodiment.
[0153] The climbing shoe 16 is pivotally mounted on the climbing drive 18, so that when the climbing drive 18 is moved, a flank 42 of the climbing shoe 16 strikes the bolt 41, deflecting the climbing shoe 16. After the flank 42 has passed the bolt 41, the climbing shoe 16 pivots back upon further movement until the climbing shoe 16 assumes the position shown here and can be hooked onto the bolt 41.
[0154] The remaining features shown in Figure 6 correspond, at least in their function, essentially to the corresponding features described above and are not repeated here.
[0155] Figure 7 is a flowchart of a method for moving a climbing system according to an embodiment of the invention. The method can be used, for example, for any of the embodiments described above.
[0156] In a step S1, a first anchoring shoe is attached to an already erected first wall section.
[0157] In step S2, a climbing shoe, which is attached to a second drive component of a climbing drive, is secured to the first anchoring shoe. This provides for the introduction of force from the climbing system into the first wall section via the climbing shoe and the anchoring shoe.
[0158] In step S3, a second anchoring shoe is attached to a second wall section already constructed, with the second wall section already constructed being located above the first wall section already constructed. This second anchoring shoe is the next anchoring shoe to be used for the climbing process.
[0159] In step S4, the climbing drive is extended, with a work platform attached to a first drive component of the climbing drive. This raises the work platform. If the work platform was only placed on the first anchoring shoe, it can be raised directly. For example, if the work platform was connected to the first anchoring shoe via a bolt, this connection is first released and the climbing drive is then extended.
[0160] In step S5, the work platform is secured to the second anchoring shoe. For example, once the work platform has reached the second anchoring shoe, it is placed on it.
[0161] In step S6, the climbing shoe is detached from the first anchoring shoe. If the climbing shoe was connected to the first anchoring shoe, for example, by means of a pin or bolt, the bolt is removed. If the climbing shoe was only connected to the anchoring shoe by weight, the connection is released by lifting the climbing shoe.
[0162] In step S7, the climbing drive is retracted. In the case of a weight-based connection between the climbing shoe and the anchoring shoe, this retraction releases the connection mentioned in step S6. Retracting the climbing drive moves the climbing shoe toward the second anchoring shoe.
[0163] In step S8, the climbing shoe is secured to the second anchoring shoe. This securing corresponds, for example, to the securing with which the climbing shoe was secured to the anchoring shoe. The steps described here can be repeated iteratively to realize a progressive climbing process. Furthermore, for example, new wall sections can be constructed whenever the work platform is at rest, allowing the climbing system to continue climbing on the newly constructed wall sections.
[0164] Further possible method steps of the method for moving the climbing system can be derived from the following figures 8 to 13 and 14 to 31 and the associated description.
[0165] Figures 8 to 13 show a climbing system according to an embodiment of the invention in various states of a climbing process. The description of each state always refers only to the changes compared to the previous state. Unchanged elements are not described again in each figure.
[0166] The climbing system 1 shown in Figure 1 is used as an example. However, the climbing process described here can also be applied analogously to the modifications of this climbing system 1 described above. Features that have already been described in detail above, for example, with reference to Figures 1 to 5, are not repeated here for the sake of clarity and apply accordingly.
[0167] Figure 8 shows a state in which anchoring shoes 17 are attached to the already erected first wall sections 11. The climbing shoes 16 are fixed to the attached anchoring shoes 17. The climbing drives 18 are retracted, so that in this state, the working platform 3 with the horizontal steel girder 8 of the first level 4 is fixed to the anchoring shoes 17. The formwork device 12 is stripped of the recently erected second wall sections 43. These recently erected second wall sections 43 have already hardened to such an extent that they are no longer subject to deformation and can be used for the further climbing process.
[0168] Figure 9 shows a state following the state shown in Figure 8. In the state shown in Figure 9, additional anchoring shoes 17 are attached to the most recently erected second wall section 43. For this purpose, climbing anchors 19 were inserted into the second wall sections 43 during the erection of the second wall section 43, to which the additional anchoring shoes 17 are attached.
[0169] Figure 10 shows a state following the state shown in Figure 9. In the state shown in Figure 10, the climbing drives 18 were extended, so that the entire work platform 3 was raised. Figure 10 now shows the state when the steel girder 8 of the first level 4 of the work platform 3 is fixed to the additional anchoring shoes 17 on the second wall section 43. Compared to the state shown in Figure 8, the work platform 3 has thus climbed by the height of one wall section.
[0170] Figure 11 shows a state following the state of Figure 10. In the state according to Figure 11, the formwork devices 12, each comprising the first and second formwork elements 13, 14, are enclosed, and concrete is poured into the formwork devices 12 to construct third wall sections 44.
[0171] Figure 12 shows a state following the state in Figure 11. Alternatively, the process illustrated in Figure 12 can also be performed during the process described in Figure 11. In the state according to Figure 12, the climbing shoes 16 have been detached from the anchoring shoes 17, which were attached to the first wall sections 11. The anchoring shoes 17, which were attached to the first wall sections 11, have already been removed and are carried here on the second level 5 of the work platform 3. The climbing drives 18 are retracted, so that the climbing shoes 16 are moved towards the anchoring shoes 17, which are attached to the second wall sections 43.
[0172] Figure 13 shows a state following the state in Figure 12. In the state shown in Figure 13, the climbing drives 18 have been fully retracted again to such an extent that the climbing shoes 16 can be secured to the anchoring shoes 17, which are fastened to the second wall sections 43, by a worker. In the state shown here, the formwork devices 12 are again dismantled from the third wall section 44. The anchoring shoes 17, which were previously removed from the first wall sections 11, can then be fastened to the third wall sections 44. By repeating the states described here, a climbing process for erecting a wall can be continued.
[0173] Figures 14 to 31 show a climbing system according to an embodiment of the invention in various states of a climbing process. In particular, the initialization, or initial setup, of the climbing system is shown here. The description of the respective states always only addresses the changes compared to the previous state. Unchanged elements are not described again in each figure.
[0174] As an example, the climbing system 1 is set up as shown in Figure 1. However, the setup described here can also be applied analogously to the modifications of this climbing system 1 described above. Features that have already been described in detail above, for example, with reference to Figures 1 to 5, are not repeated here for the sake of clarity and apply accordingly.
[0175] Figure 14 shows a state in which an initial formwork device 45 is erected on a base 46, and concrete is poured into the initial formwork device 45 to erect a first initial wall section 47. This can be implemented using conventional mechanisms. For example, only the erection and construction of the wall 2 shown on the left are shown here, but this can also be implemented analogously on the wall 2 shown on the right.
[0176] Figure 15 shows a state following the state shown in Figure 14. In the state shown in Figure 15, the initial formwork device 45 is stripped and removed using a symbolically represented crane 48. The first initial wall sections 47 have hardened to such an extent that they no longer deform after stripping.
[0177] Figure 16 shows a state following the state of Figure 15. In the state according to Figure 16, a first initial anchoring shoe 17, which is identical to the anchoring shoes described above, is attached to the left first initial wall section 45. A corresponding further first initial anchoring shoe 17 is also attached to the right first initial wall section 45, but this is only shown in Figure 17.
[0178] Figure 17 shows a state following the state shown in Figure 16. In the state shown in Figure 17, the second level 5 of the work platform 3 is placed on the base 46. Furthermore, the first level 4 of the work platform 3 is attached to the first initial anchoring shoes 17, i.e., placed on bars inserted into them. However, the first level 4 and the second level 5 are not yet connected to each other in this state.
[0179] Figure 18 shows a state following the state shown in Figure 17. In the state shown in Figure 18, the formwork devices 12 are installed above the first initial wall sections 47 by means of symbolically represented cranes 48.
[0180] Figure 19 shows a state following the state shown in Figure 18. In the state shown in Figure 19, the third level 6 of the working platform 3 is erected, which is connected to the first level 4 by means of the vertical struts 7. In this state, the formwork devices 12 are attached to the vertical struts 7 and to the horizontal steel girder 8 of the third level 6, so that the cranes 48 are no longer required.
[0181] Figure 20 shows a state following the state of Figure 19. In the state according to Figure 20, concrete is poured into the formwork devices 12 to erect second initial wall sections 49 above the first initial wall sections 47.
[0182] Figure 21 shows a state following the state in Figure 20. In the state shown in Figure 21, the climbing drives 18 are introduced. For this purpose, the climbing drives 18 are lowered onto the lugs 39 using symbolically represented cranes 48. The climbing drives 18 are lowered within the vertical struts 7, which are hollow profiles. The climbing drives 18 are placed on the base 46. For this purpose, base plates 50 are provided, on which the ends of the climbing drives 18 facing away from the lugs 39 are placed. Figure 22 shows a state following the state in Figure 21. In the state shown in Figure 22, the drive units 20 are installed on the second level 5 of the work platform 3.The climbing drives 18 are extended, moved by means of the drive units 20 and / or by means of the cranes 48, until the openings 38 of the climbing drives 18 reach openings provided in the vertical struts 7, not shown here, so that the climbing drives 18 can be fixed by means of the openings 38 on the vertical struts 7 with a pin not shown here.
[0183] Figure 23 shows a state following the state in Figure 22. In the state according to Figure 23, the formwork devices 12 are removed from the second initial wall sections 49. Furthermore, second initial anchoring shoes 17 are already attached to the second initial wall sections 49.
[0184] Figure 24 shows a state following the state of Figure 23. In the state according to Figure 24, the climbing drives 18 are partially extended, so that the work platform 3 has been moved upward and released from the first initial anchoring shoes 17. Additionally, in the state according to Figure 24, the second level 5 of the work platform 3 is attached to the first level 4.
[0185] Figure 25 shows a state following the state in Figure 24. In the state shown in Figure 25, the climbing drives 18 are extended so far that the steel girder 8 of the first level 4 of the work platform 3 has reached the second initial anchoring shoes 17 on the second initial wall sections 49 and is fixed to them. Since the second level 5 of the work platform 3 is now connected to the first level 4, the second level 5 is tracked during this movement.
[0186] Figure 26 shows a state following the state of Figure 25. In the state according to Figure 26, the formwork devices 12 are re-formed to prepare for the erection of a third initial wall section above the second initial wall section 49.
[0187] Figure 27 shows a state that follows the state in Figure 26. Alternatively, the states described in Figures 26 and 27 can also be implemented in parallel or in reverse order. In the state according to Figure 27, trolleys 51 are attached to the climbing drives 18. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the trolleys 51 are attached to the pistons 35 of the climbing drives 18 and are arranged so that they can roll on the second level 5 of the work platform 3. However, the trolleys 51 can also be attached or designed differently. For example, corresponding trolleys could also be arranged on the base 46.
[0188] Figure 28 shows a state that follows the state in Figure 27. Alternatively, the states described in Figures 26, 27, and 28 can also be implemented in parallel or in any desired reversed order. In the state according to Figure 28, the climbing drives 18 are detached from the vertical struts 7 and retracted. In particular, the climbing drives 18 are retracted to such an extent that the piston rods 34 are no longer surrounded by the vertical struts 7. For example, the climbing drives 18 are completely retracted. The symbolically represented cranes 48 are, for example, connected to the climbing drives 18 for safety purposes up to this state, but can alternatively also be detached earlier.
[0189] Figure 29 shows a state following the state in Figure 28. In the state shown in Figure 29, the climbing drives 18 are moved closer to the respective walls with the aid of the trolleys 51. The position in which the climbing drives 18 were up to the state shown in Figure 28 is an initial position in which the climbing drives 18 were also introduced into the climbing system. From the state shown in Figure 29, the climbing drives 18 are in a climbing position in which the climbing drives 18 are used for continuous climbing on the walls 2. The climbing position is closer to the respective wall 2 than the initial position.
[0190] Furthermore, in the state shown in Figure 29, concrete was poured into the formwork devices 12 to erect the third initial wall section 52. However, this can also be done at a suitable earlier or later time.
[0191] Figure 30 shows a state following the state in Figure 29. In the state according to Figure 30, climbing shoes 16 are fixed to the climbing drives 18. Figure 31 shows a state following the state in Figure 30. In the state according to Figure 31, the climbing drives 18 are extended, ie, the piston rods 34 are moved upward until the openings 38 of the piston rods 34 can be fixed to the steel beam 8 of the first level 4 of the work platform 3.
[0192] The climbing drives 18 can then be retracted so that the pistons 35 are moved upward and the climbing drives 18 are lifted from the ground 46. During this movement, the climbing shoes 16 are also moved upward until they can be fixed to the second initial anchoring shoes 17 on the second initial wall section 49.
[0193] The climbing system 1 is then in the state shown in Figure 1, which is used as an example in this description as the starting point for the described climbing process. Starting from this position, the continuous climbing can be carried out, as described, for example, with reference to Figures 8 to 13. In this case, the second initial wall section 49 is the already erected first wall section 11.
[0194] All steps and state changes described here can, even if not explicitly mentioned, be combined or swapped with each other in any suitable manner.
[0195] Figure 32 shows a climbing system according to an embodiment of the invention in a state of moving a climbing drive from an initial position to a climbing position. The mechanism described here is an alternative to the method described above for the climbing drives 18 with a trolley 51.
[0196] Figure 32 schematically shows anchoring shoes 17 on already erected wall sections. The lower wall section corresponds to the first initial wall section described above, and the upper wall section corresponds to the second initial wall section described above. The section shown in Figure 32 only shows a left-hand wall 2, but can also be applied analogously to other walls. Figure 32 further shows a climbing drive 18, which comprises a piston 35 and a piston rod 34. The climbing drive 18 is placed on a base 46 with an end of the piston 35 facing away from the piston rod 34. The piston 35 is arranged on a spherical plate 53, which enables the climbing drive 18 to be deflected and tilted from a vertical orientation. Instead of the spherical plate 53, a half-shell or other articulated device can also be used.
[0197] The spherical cap plate 53 is arranged at a position at which the climbing drive 18 is in a vertical orientation in the initial position described above. Tilting the climbing drive 18 by means of the spherical cap plate 53 is possible at least to the extent that the climbing drive 18 reaches a position at an end of the piston rod 34 facing away from the piston 35, in which the climbing drive 18 is in a vertical orientation in the climbing position. The intermediate state, in which the piston 35 is arranged on the spherical cap plate 53 and the piston rod 34 is already in the position intended for the climbing position, is shown in Figure 32. From this intermediate state, the piston 25 can be detached from the spherical cap plate 53 and the entire climbing drive 18 can be aligned vertically, so that the climbing drive 18 is then completely in the climbing position.
[0198] To support controlled tipping, three example elements are shown here, of which at least one or any combination can be used.
[0199] A first spindle 54 is attached to the piston 35 and is arranged between the climbing drive 18 and the initial first wall section 47. Moving the first spindle 54 assists in the controlled tilting of the climbing drive 18.
[0200] A second spindle 55 is attached to a sleeve 40 of the climbing drive 18, as described, for example, with reference to Figure 5. This spindle is arranged between the climbing drive 18 and the work platform 3. Moving the second spindle 55 supports controlled tilting of the climbing drive 18. A guide fork 56 is attached to the work platform 3, extending in the direction of the climbing drive 18 and also supporting controlled tilting of the climbing drive 18.
[0201] Instead of the spindles 54, 55 and the guide fork 56 described here, suitable elements can also be selected, such as threaded rods or the like, in order to support the controlled tilting accordingly.
[0202] Figure 33 shows two states A and B of a detailed view of a climbing system according to an embodiment of the invention. The detailed view shown here shows a section in which a steel beam 8 of a first level of a work platform and an anchoring shoe 17 can be seen. A wall to which the anchoring shoe 17 is attached is not shown here.
[0203] Figure 33 shows an alternative fixation of the steel beam 8 to the anchoring shoe 17 to the figures described above.
[0204] In an edge region facing the anchoring shoe 17, the steel girder 8 has a recess 57. This recess 57 is wider than the anchoring shoe 17, so that the steel girder 8 slides over the anchoring shoe 17 when the work platform is moved, ie, lateral flanks 58 of the steel girder 8 pass the anchoring shoe 17 laterally.
[0205] A bolt 59 can be inserted into the recess 57, with the lateral flanks 58 having openings 60 provided for receiving the bolt 59. The bolt 59 is designed to be placed on the anchoring shoe 17 in order to fix the work platform to the anchoring shoe 17.
