Description

The invention relates to a pallet for storing and transporting counter stands, in particular of vehicles in a warehouse, in particular in a Parking garage.

For the cost-effective and effective storage of objects and the Introduction and discharge of the objects in or from a La ger it is advantageous to the or the objects to be stored on a pallet store so that the storage system can only be aligned with the pallet. There there due to no consideration for un when storing and moving the objects different dimensions or shapes of the objects can be taken must, this leads to a particularly effective and inexpensive handling of objects.

Although vehicles can of course move themselves in principle, it is over Space and time reasons also advantageous, such a system with a pallet for the storage of vehicles, that is parking the vehicles in one Parking garage to use. Such parking garages, where the vehicles too  next placed on a pallet and then on the pallet to be moved into the parking garage and parked there on the pallet are already known. Because vehicles are very heavy on the one hand, it is necessary to lay out the pallet very firmly and stiffly. On the other hand, good strength and rigidity of the pallet lead to one increased weight of the pallet, which together with the vehicle weight causes the transport system to move the pallets in the parking garage has to be trained very elaborately.

In addition to the elaborate design of a transport system in a parking garage due to the high weight of the pallets, which, for example, the lifting and As far as the pulling power of such a transport system is concerned, it limits a high one Weight of the pallets also other ways of designing a derar transport system. For example, it is necessary with a high weight derlich, complicated and complex and highly resilient clutch device between the transport device and the pallet.

In addition, the pallets must have other properties such. B. increased corro Resistance to sion, because of the different materials, such as e.g. B. salt water, oils and so on come into contact with the pallets. This leads to the fact that the pallets are either made of very expensive material or need to be replaced more often if cheaper material with less Corrosion resistance is used.

The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a pallet, which is characterized in particular by a simple construction with low weight and at the same time is characterized by good rigidity and thus a simple shape device of a transport system. The pallet should also be inexpensive Stig to be manufactured, permanently reliable operation, especially under guarantee the conditions of a parking garage and, if necessary, easily repa be able to be kept in order to keep the total costs low.  

This task is solved by a palette with the characteristics of the independant gene claim 1. Advantageous further developments are the subject of the Un claims.

The pallet according to the invention consists of a frame and a shelf che, which is stored in or on the frame. The shelf is off composed of several surface elements, the connecting elements point over which the surface elements interlock. Through the module Like the structure of the palette is a variability in the design of the Pallet and the corresponding transport system reached and on the other hand individual elements of the pallet can be easily replaced, which is what the Repa The palette's user friendliness is greatly increased. In particular, however, a high Rigidity of the pallet achieved with a low overall weight, because the preferred wise profiled surface elements as composite individual modules self-supporting storage surface result in an overall higher rigidity has a one-piece pallet with a comparable flat design. As a result, the frame itself can be made less rigid, so that a optimal load distribution is achieved with the pallet. Less wear and reduced noise when moving the pallet is Episode. The modular structure of the pallet also has the advantage that few Similar semi-finished products can be used, which contributes to cost savings the manufacturing leads. In addition, the overall height of the pallet can be avoided can be reduced to a complex substructure.

The frame advantageously comprises a front plate and a rear plate and at least one, preferably two side members, each preferably on the Are arranged along the side of the pallet and a profile, z. B. an angle profile, Rectangular profile, U-profile or the like. This has the advantage that a leg of the support profile, can be arranged so that it is longitudinal forms the side of the pallet and one or more other legs on the one hand as  Support surface of the pallet and on the other hand as a support surface for the surface element elements of the shelf can serve. In particular an angle profile shape of longitudinal beams arranged on the outside on the long side leads to an optimal out design of the contact surfaces for the pallet as well as for the surface elements and in addition to an optimized rigidity of the frame and thus the entire range.

If a further stiffening of the pallet is required, the frame can be added Liche side members and cross members have between the side members are arranged.

In an advantageous embodiment of the pallet is on the underside of at least one longitudinal member, but preferably the longitudinal egg on the two th forming support profiles provided one or more sliding elements, so that the pallet can be stored or moved on these sliding elements. This he on the one hand, facilitates the movement of the pallet, e.g. B. on rails or the like chen, and the sliding elements can also be used to guide the pallet serve.

Alternatively, rollers or the like can also be provided instead of sliding elements be, or it can be the support profiles, for. B. be formed by grinding, that their contact surfaces have favorable sliding properties.

The in, d. H. preferably between a front and a rear panel and the the side walls forming side members, or from mounted on the frame Floor space is preferably composed of surface elements that are used for Improve the rigidity of the pallet based on a three-dimensional profile shape point. In this way, material is saved, ie, saves weight, as well the rigidity of the pallet in a manner that can be produced in a simple manner th, modular surface elements further increased.  

In a preferred embodiment, the surface elements are designed that they essentially form a U-shape open to the bottom, with the base Surface of the U-profile represents part of the shelf and the legs of the U-profile as connecting elements for connecting the surface element with be neighboring surface elements are used. For this, the legs are in front partially designed so that with one leg a vertical after inside the other leg directed bar is arranged while on other leg another, outward, open upward Connects a U-profile, which may be rolled out or folded. To this It is possible to establish a positive connection between adjacent surfaces Chenelemente manufacture by the leg with the bar of a Flä chenelements in the upwardly open U-profile shape of the leg of the neighboring engages th surface element. This can create a flat, immovable Ab footprint can be reached without gaps and stumbling blocks. Furthermore can by profiling the surface elements in the area of the storage space a non-slip surface can be generated in a number of ways. Another advantage The described shape of the surface elements can be seen in the fact that the channel-shaped U-profile shape on the underside of the surface elements a con controlled drainage of dripping water or other vehicle fluids possible is.

The special three-dimensional profile shape of the surface elements also contributes to Increase the rigidity of the pallet.

In order to secure the surface elements in or on the frame, are preferred Connections between the surface elements with each other and / or the Lateral beams or cross beams on which the surface elements are stored are pre-cut hen. The connections are advantageously easily releasable connections conditions such. B. screw connections, riveted connections or connections via Locking elements possible. Through the additional connection of the surface elements with each other or the surface elements with the frame becomes a compact  Pallet formed, but in which individual elements such. B. with a partial loading Damage to the pallet, can be easily replaced.

It is also advantageous in this modular design that the pallet can be easily adapted to special uses. So can in a preferred embodiment in a simple manner essentially Lichen V-shaped recess for receiving wheels one on the pallet stored vehicle can be attached by one or more flat elements elements with a specially trained profile element, e.g. B. a wheel well, be replaced. This preferably has specially designed profiles ment also connecting elements through which it connects with the neighboring surfaces Chen elements connected in the same manner as described above can be.

When attaching a wheel well, it is advantageous to cover the whole Width of the shelf or over the entire width of the pallet, so a finally to provide the long sides of the pallet, since then in a simple manner on the pallet or in the transport system that can be used to determine whether a vehicle is on the Pa lette is or not, d. H. whether the wheel well is equipped with wheels. To one To avoid damage to the wheel well when loading and unloading the pallet, it is advantageous to additionally have a reinforcing element in the area of the V-shaped Provide deepening, in particular the transition area between hori central shelf and recess reinforced.

Since the pallet according to the invention is modular in design with high rigidity light weight, it is possible to transport the pallet in one port system to use, with the simple coupling options, eg. B. in Form of an automatic clutch mechanism, between transport system and pallet or between the pallets are provided with each other. Is to it is advantageous to have one or more on the front or rear panel of the frame  Provide recesses and / or hooks that are compatible with each other, so that the hooks on the front and / or rear panel of one Pa lette into the recesses of the front and / or rear panel of an adjacent one Pallet are insertable. In addition, in this embodiment, the front or rear panels latching areas, which are preferably adjacent to the Recesses are arranged so that by a mutual lateral movement the neighboring pallets to each other the hooks of one pallet behind the grid areas of the adjacent palette reach a positive Form a connection between the adjacent pallets. That way it is possible to hang several pallets in a row so that they can be put together in the Transport system of the parking garage can be moved. This leads to a be particularly effective use of the parking garage.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the pallet according to the invention are driver devices on the front and / or rear plates, z. B. in the form a plate or rod or of recesses and grooves, provided, through which the transport system can attack the pallets.

It is also advantageous to design the pallet on the underside in such a way that Area of the long shoulders are formed, which is the place for Einrich lines of the transport system z. B. rails and the like, provide that the pallet can be moved on the rails or the like to save space can.

Other features, characteristics and advantages of the invention are in the following detailed description of an embodiment with reference to attached drawings clearly.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a pallet according to the invention, which we sentlichen consists of a frame 1 and a shelf 2 . The frame 1 (shown in dashed lines) is formed in the exemplary embodiment shown by a rear plate 6 and a front plate 7 and between these two longitudinal beams 3 , 4 arranged. The longitudinal beams 3 , which are designed in the form of an angular profile, form the long sides of the frame 1 or the pallet. To reinforce the frame 1 further longitudinal members 4 are hen vorgese, which are arranged in the form of rectangular tubes between the outer longitudinal members 3 . To further reinforce the frame 1 cross members 5 are also arranged between the side members 4 .

On the frame 1, the support surface 2 is mounted, the chenelementen of several FLAE composed 11, wherein the surface elements 11 are set as längli che grates across the longitudinal beam 3 4. In the illustrated preferred embodiment, a recess 9 is also provided in the storage surface 2 , which extends across the width of one or more, in the exemplary embodiment shown, of three surface elements 11 . In the pallet shown, this depression serves to receive wheels of a vehicle, so that the vehicle stands securely on the pallet without the risk of the vehicle rolling off the pallet.

Furthermore, it can be seen in Fig. 1 that 6 hooks 8 are placed on the rear plate, which serve to establish a positive connection to a neighboring pallet. For this purpose, the front plate 7 of the pallet recesses 10 (see Fig. 2), into which the hooks 8 of the rear plate 6 of an adjacent Pa lette can be inserted.

Adjacent the recesses 10 white terhin latching regions 12 are shown in FIG. 2 on the front panel 7 is formed, behind which the vertical portion of the hook is latched to 8 when an adjacent pallet after insertion of the hook is moved laterally into the recesses 10 8, so that the vertical area of the hooks 8 comes to rest behind the locking areas 12 . In the illustrated embodiment, two hooks 8 are provided on the rear panel 6 and accordingly two locking areas 12 on the front panel 7th Of course, it is also possible to provide only one or more hooks on the rear plate 6 or front plate 7 and correspondingly compatible cutouts 10 and locking areas 12 on the front plate or rear plate 6 or to attach these elements to the rear and front plates 6 , 7 in a mixed manner.

One of the Fig. 2 illustration corresponding to the rear plate 6 is seen in Fig 3.. It is clear here that the dimensions of the hooks 8 , in particular the vertical part of the hooks 8 , are matched to the dimensions of the recesses 10 and the locking areas 12 .

A side view of the pallet is shown in Fig. 4. Here, as already in FIGS . 2 and 3, it is clear that the longitudinal beams 3 , 4 are arranged in different planes, so that there is no overall flat underside of the pallet. Rather, the area of the long sides is designed shoulder-like in comparison to the center of the pallet, the lateral longitudinal beams 3 being arranged in a plane above the central longitudinal beams 4 . However, in order to obtain a flat bearing surface for the surface elements 11 despite the different height arrangement of the longitudinal beams 3 , 4 , it is advantageous that the Längsträ ger 3 on the sides of the pallet are designed as angle profiles, while the longitudinal beams arranged in the middle of the pallet 4 be formed by a rectangular tube. As will become clear in the following drawings, in particular FIGS. 7 and 8, the angle profiles 3 are arranged in such a way that one leg 13 forms the long side of the pallet, while the other leg 14 of the angle profile 3 serves as a support surface for the Surface elements 11 is used.

As can further be seen in FIG. 4, the hooks 8 are preferably arranged at the lower end of the rear plate 6 , so that they can easily engage in recesses in an adjacent pallet without being hindered by surface elements 11 or other elements of the pallet.

In Fig. 4 it is also shown how the surface elements 11 are arranged side by side and interlock and are connected via screw connections 15 , rivet connections or the like. The arrangement of the surface elements 11 will be discussed in more detail below.

The recess 9 for receiving vehicle carriers is shown in dashed lines in Fig. 4. In the embodiment shown, a wheel recess 16 (see FIG. 9) is provided for realizing the recess 9 , which is arranged as a profile element between the surface elements 11 . To improve the Steifig the wheel well ness 16 is arranged below the wheel well 16 additionally auctioning Fung element 17, which amplifies the wheel well 16, in particular in the region of the transition from the recess 9 to the shelf. 2

On the long sides or the angular profiles 3 of the pallet fer ner sliding blocks 18 are provided, which facilitate sliding along the pallet on a wall or the like with its long side.

FIG. 5 shows a top view of the frame 1 , the structure consisting of side members 3 , 4 , cross members 5 and rear and front panels 6 , 7 being shown here. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the individual supports and plates are connected to one another by welded connections. Of course, other suitable joining techniques are also possible. To reinforce the corner areas of the palette, an essentially triangular kno tenblech 19 is provided at each of the corners, which extends along the front or rear plate 6 , 7 over the side members 3 , 4 .

Fig. 6 is similar to FIG. 4 is a side view of the longitudinal side of the pallet, but in this case, only the frame 1 without the surface elements 11 of the shelf. 2 It is clear here that the frame 1 with the rear and front panel 6 , 7 and the side members 3 forms a trough-shaped frame 1 on the long sides, in which the side walls formed by the rear and front panel 6 , 7 and the side side members 3 with the Support areas of the longitudinal beams 3 , 4 and cross beams 5 form a receiving area for the surface elements 11 , wherein the surface elements 11 can be inserted into the frame 1 in a simple manner.

FIG. 7 shows a sectional view along the section line AA from FIG. 6, which enables a view of the rear side of the front plate 7 . On the back of the front panel 7 , a reinforcing plate 20 is provided in the region of the recesses 10 and the locking area 12 , which plate 7 contributes to increasing the rigidity of the front in this area. This is advantageous because a special load can occur here due to the positive connection between two pallets via the latching of hooks 8 and latching area 12 .

Furthermore, it can be seen in this view that at the two ends of the front panel 7 are respectively a driver 21, for example. B. is arranged in the form of a rod which protrudes slightly downwards over the front plate 7 so that it can be gripped by a transport device with which the pallet is to be transported.

Further, FIG. 7 that in the illustrated embodiment on the underside of the angular Un outer side rail 3 are each a sliding member 22 in the form of a skid mounted. This makes it possible to move the pallet on slide rails on which the side members 3 can be placed. The skid 22 can be made of the same material as the frame 1 , ie steel in this example, or the frame itself. However, it is also imaginable that the skid 22 , depending on how the interacting sliding element is formed, is made of a material with special sliding properties, for. B. made of plastic. The skid advantageously extends over the entire long side of the pallet, that is, over the entire length of the longitudinal beams 3 , so as to also serve as a guide. Alternatively, roles can of course also be provided here.

The skids 22 attached to the longitudinal members 3 can also be seen in FIG. 8, which shows a sectional view along the section line BB. This presen- tation enables the rear view of the rear plate 6 . Again, 6 drivers 21 are provided at the respective ends of the rear plate, which serve to move the pallet in a transport system. To reinforce the rear panel areas, on which the hooks 8 are arranged, reinforcing ribs 23 are seen before, which are welded to the rear panel 6 and preferably to the reinforcing plates 19 . The reinforcing ribs 23 serve similarly to the Verstär kung sheets 20 on the front panel 7 to increase the stiffness in the most stressed by the hooks 8 the area of the rear plate. 6

Is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 also shows that the pallet is each formed a shoulder 24 by the shape of the longitudinal beams 3, 4 as an angle section 3 or rectangular tube 4 and the arrangement of the longitudinal members in different planes in the region of the longitudinal sides, which the Provides space for slide rails on which the pallets can be moved, as well as other elements of a transport system, such as. B. conveyor chains or the like.

The arrangement of the surface elements 11 on the frame 1 is shown in FIG. 9 on the basis of a section along the section line BB from FIG. 1. The FLAE chenelemente 11 are substantially U-shaped in the embodiment shown figure, the surface elements of the pallet 11 are arranged on the frame 1 such that the U-profile is open at the bottom. The essentially U-shaped surface element 11 thus has a base surface 32 and a first leg 25 and a second leg 27 . The base surface 32 of the surface elements 11 arranged next to one another together form the storage surface 2 . A bar 26 is provided on the first leg 25 , which extends at a right angle from the end of the leg 25 inwards in the direction of the second leg 27 . At the end of the second leg 27 , a second, upwardly open U-profile 28 is further provided, the second leg 27 simultaneously forming a leg of the first U-profile and a leg of the second U-profile 28 . The arrangement of the surface elements 11 is now such that, in the case of surface elements 11 lying next to one another, the first leg 25 of one surface element 11 bears against the second leg 27 of the second surface element 11 . In this way, the first leg 25 engages with the bar 26 in the outwardly directed, upwardly open second U-profile 28 of the adjacent surface element 11 . This results in a good positive connection of the adjacent surface elements 11 .

For further stabilization, it may be advantageous to provide bores 29 on the legs 25 and 27 , which enable additional screw connections 15 to be provided between the surface elements 11 . Alternatively, locking elements or other connecting elements can also be provided here. Furthermore, it is advantageous to connect at least every third or fourth surface element 11 to the frame 1 . For this come similar, as in the connection of the surface elements 11 with each other, all suitable connection techniques, for. B. screw connections or rivets and connections gene over locking elements in question. In the embodiment shown, a rivet connection 31 is selected, which extends through holes 30 in the bar 26 and the U-profile 28 .

As can also be seen in FIG. 9, it can be advantageous to use 11 further profile elements for the special configuration of the shelf 2 in addition to the surface elements. In the embodiment shown, a profile element in the form of a wheel well 16 is used to define an area in which the wheels of a vehicle mounted on the pallet can be accommodated. The wheel well 16 therefore has an essentially V-shaped shape. At the end regions at which the wheel well adjoins the surface elements 11 , 16 side elements 33 are provided on the wheel well, the shape of which corresponds to the first leg 25 of the surface elements 11 , so that a similar connection with adjacent surface elements is produced via these side elements 33 can be, as is possible between the surface elements 11 11 . Since the wheel well 16 is advantageously designed symmetrically with respect to its longitudinal axis, it is necessary to use the surface elements 11 , which adjoin the wheel well 16 on opposite sides, rotated by 180 ° to one another so that a connection of the wheel well 16 to the respectively adjacent surface element 11 is guaranteed. This also has the part before that due to the opposite orientation of the surface elements 11 , as far as the position of the legs 25 , 27 is concerned, only a single type of surface elements 11 is necessary on the two sides of the wheel well 16 , since at the rear or Front plate 6 , 7, the respective surface element 11 can be used so that it lies with its smooth outer surface, ie the leg 25 , on the rear or front plate 6 , 7 . If the elements 11 were used in the same direction over the entire length of the pallet, then a specially designed surface element 11 would have to be placed on either the front or rear plate 6 , 7 in order to ensure seamless installation of the surface element 11 on the front or Ensure rear plate 6 , 7 .

In order to avoid damage to the wheel well 16 by vehicles, it is advantageous to arrange a reinforcing element 17 below the wheel well 16 , which in particular reinforces the area of the transition from the storage surface 2 to the recess 9 .

Fig. 10 shows by way of sectional view taken along the section line AA in FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the longitudinal member 3 constructed as angle profile. This view clearly shows the skid 22 , which is attached to the underside of the horizontal leg 14 of the side member 3 . In addition to the purpose of serving as a support surface for the pallet, the skid 22 can also assume the function of a guide in a transport system. However, in order to also allow the pallet to be guided further to the side, 3 sliding blocks 18 are provided on the vertical leg 13 of the angular longitudinal beam, by means of which sliding along a lateral guide or wall or the like is made possible.

Fig. 11 shows a larger view of a hook 8 attached to the rear plate 6 via welded connections, which serves to connect two Pa lettes. It can also be seen here that, in the preferred embodiment, the angle profiles used as the longitudinal beams 3 are guided slightly upward at their ends with the horizontal leg 14 in order to prevent the pallet from tilting in the area of the support surface 14 during the movement of the pallet .

As was already clear from the foregoing description, the pallet according to the invention is designed so that the pallet can be moved in a transport system, the pallet with the horizontal legs 14 of the side members 3 resting on a rail or the like and being movable over the latter is. Several pallets can be coupled to one another via the hooks and rest areas. The provided on the front and rear plates 6 , 7 driver 21 serve for connection to the transport system. The embodiment shown has an outstanding stability due to the shape described, which means that the pallet can be formed from light materials. This allows the pallet to be moved easily. Thanks to its modular structure, it is also very easy to repair.
