Device for dismantling vehicles, in particular for drying them out

The present invention relates to a device for dismantling vehicles, in particular for draining them.

It is known from the state of the art to lift the vehicle to be dismantled with a forklift and to drain operating fluids by manipulating the area under the vehicle.

However, forklift trucks have the disadvantage that they do not provide dismantling personnel with access to the engine and/or passenger compartment from above while the vehicle is being lifted.
Since many operating fluids are very viscous, especially when cold, the vehicle must remain raised for a long time before it can be lowered again and dismantling can begin from above. The throughput of such a dismantling device is therefore very low.

Another disadvantage of using a forklift truck to remove operating fluids is that significant amounts of operating fluids remain in the troughs and recesses of the operating fluid containers.

The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for dismantling vehicles, in particular for their drainage, which allows dismantling work and/or

Drainage work in the upper area of the vehicle
and enables almost complete and safe removal of operating fluids.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in a generic device by the features set out in the characterizing part of the
The features specified in claim 1 are solved.

Particularly preferred embodiments are the subject of the subclaims.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Figure 10 is a schematic perspective view of a mast with a pivoting and tilting support from the top left.

As can be seen from Figure 1, a device according to the invention initially comprises a rear working platform (2). This usually has a substantially

has a rectangular basic shape, is walkable and is usually spaced from the ground (1) by means of at least one support post (28).

Of course, it can be attached directly to the surrounding building wall without the support posts (28).

The provision of this walk-in work platform (2) and the work platforms (3,10) described below leads to a particularly significant advantage from an economic point of view. This is because it is now possible to carry out drainage and/or dismantling work on the underside and in the upper area of the vehicle at the same time.

Furthermore, a device according to the invention can comprise at least one walkable lateral work platform (3) with a preferably rectangular basic shape.

In the top view, the side work platform (3) is arranged essentially at a right angle to the rear work platform (2).

In order to keep the gap between the outer circumference of a vehicle placed on the carrier(s) (6) and the side work platform (3) as narrow as possible, the side work platform (3) is attached to the rear work platform (2) in a laterally movable manner.

Preferably, the front side (4) of the side work platform (3) pointing in the direction of the rear work platform (2) is laterally displaceable in plan view at least in connection with the outer section of the front longitudinal side (5) of the rear work platform (2) pointing in the direction of the side work platform (3).

As a rule, the front end of the side work platform (3) is supported by at least one support post (26).

Of course, it is possible to connect the side work platform (3) to the rear work platform (2) in such a way that such support can be dispensed with.

In this case, the rear work platform (2) not only takes on a guiding function, but also serves to support the side work platform (3).

As a further essential component, a device according to the invention comprises at least one essentially elongated carrier element (6) for receiving a vehicle.
In plan view, this is located essentially in the middle section of the rear working platform (2) and projects over the front longitudinal side of the platform by approximately the width of the vehicle. The carrier element (6) is preferably designed in the form of a rectangular frame, a widened tine or at least two fork tines lying next to one another and running parallel to one another.

The at least one carrier element (6) for storing an old vehicle is essentially horizontally aligned in the basic position when viewed from the side.

For example, it is attached to the front of the support frame of the rear work platform (2). Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided, for example, on at least one mast (7) or on the surrounding building wall.

As can be seen from Figure 1, such a mast (7) is preferably located at least partially below the rear work platform (2). If only one mast (7) is used, it is placed essentially halfway along the length of the rear work platform (2).

If, however, several masts (7) each with a support (6) are used, these are preferably provided in the middle 0 section of the rear work platform (2) and at least slightly spaced apart from one another laterally. Preferably, the lateral distance between the masts (7) is chosen in this case so that it essentially corresponds to the distance between the forks of the forklift truck used to support the old vehicles.

In order to be able to adjust the distance between the masts (7) to the distance between the forks of an approaching forklift truck, it is advantageous to design the mast (7) in such a way that it can be tilted forwards and backwards and/

or can be moved to the side and locked in the desired positions.

Even if only one mast (7) with only one fork-shaped support (6), for example, is used, the ability to move the mast (7) has a very positive effect. For example, in a low-cost version, the movable design of at least one of the two side work platforms (3) can be dispensed with.

In this case, the size of the gap between the outer contour of the vehicle placed on it and the rigid side work platform (3) can be precisely determined by moving the mast (7) in the direction of the rigid side work platform (3), which can be easily accomplished using rails, for example.

A forward and backward movement of the mast (7) is particularly advantageous if the mast (7) can move very far forward at the front and can therefore independently and without the help of a separate forklift or crane pick up the end-of-life vehicle, for example from a conveyor belt, and lift it during the return movement via the frontal work platforms (10) that may be present and transport it to the final dismantling position.

Of course, it is also possible to make the height or length of the mast (7) variable, for example by means of 0 vertically acting lifting cylinders.

The carrier (6) for storing the vehicle is attached to the mast

(7) or the frame of the rear working platform (2) or on the surrounding building wall directly or indirectly with the interposition of a device (8).

In a low-cost version, the support (6) is attached rigidly, with the support (6) being essentially horizontal when viewed from the side.

Preferably, however, this device (8) is articulated and/or substantially slide-shaped.

In particular, it allows a vertically pivotable and/or laterally tiltable and/or height-adjustable and/or laterally displaceable attachment of the at least one support (6) to the mast (7) and/or to the frame of the rear working platform (2) and/or to the surrounding building wall.

An important feature of the device according to the invention is that even in the raised position 0, the doors of the vehicle resting on the supports (6) can be opened for dismantling purposes without any hindrance. The opening of the doors is not hindered either by the rear fork support, which usually protrudes above the level of the forks, or by a mast.

(7) or the rear work platform (2) itself.

The unrestricted accessibility of the passenger compartment is particularly important when draining vehicles because some operating fluids can only be removed by manually operating the associated units

can be completely removed. It is obvious that unrestricted access to the passenger compartment is a prerequisite for comprehensive dismantling.

Unrestricted accessibility of the passenger compartment plays a crucial role, especially when removing glass.

If the carrier (6) is not height-adjustable, the vehicle support surface (9) of the horizontally aligned carrier (6) is therefore preferably located just below or at least at the height of the rear work platform (2).

Since the upper end of the mast (7) is usually at least slightly lower than the level of the accessible work platforms, all doors of the vehicle resting on it can be opened without any obstruction to the system.

If, however, the carrier (6) is height-adjustable, it can be brought to at least this height, for example by means of the device (8), which can be moved vertically via a lifting device integrated in the mast (7) or a spindle drive.

It has proven particularly advantageous to provide at least one movable front work platform (10) in addition to the at least one movable side work platform (3). Its base area can also be essentially rectangular.

10

Preferably, the longitudinal axis of the front work platform (10) is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the side work platform (3). 5

The front surface of the front work platform (10) pointing in the direction of the side work platform (3) is mounted so as to be laterally displaceable at least in the outer section of the long side of the side work platform (3) pointing in the direction of the support element (6).

The movable connection is designed in such a way that the lateral displacement of the front work platform (10) is carried out manually and/or automatically. For this purpose, for example, a spindle drive, rack and pinion drive, piston drive or cable pull mechanism can be provided in conjunction with a control device. Preferably, a locking mechanism is also provided which allows the movable work platform (3, 10) to be firmly locked in a desired position.

To reduce the construction effort, it is possible to position the free end of the front working platform

(3) by means of a support post (11). Its lower end is equipped with a device (27) in the form of a wheel or skid, for example, which enables movement of the support post (11) on the base (1) or the grid-shaped tub cover forwards and backwards as well as to the left and right.

11

Of course, it is also possible to design the free end of the front work platform to be free-floating, whereby the side work platform (3) has to absorb considerable torsional forces. 5

In general, it should be noted that the lateral displacement of the at least one lateral working platform (3) and/or the at least one frontal working platform (10) can in principle be carried out in any manner.

As shown in Figure 6, a sliding mechanism may have the structure described below.
15

For example, the front and/or the inside support (36) of the rear and/or the side work platform (2,3) with a substantially rectangular cross-sectional area can have an elongated recess (42) on the front.

The width of this recess (42) determines the area in which lateral displacement is possible. The height of this recess (42) can essentially correspond at least to the diameter of the rollers (37).

Preferably, the recess (42) is designed such that, when looking at the cross-sectional area of the support (36), it begins at the front directly above the lower horizontal surface of the support (36) and extends approximately over half the height of the front side of the support (36).

12

On the front sides (4) of the slidably mounted work platforms (3, 10), for example, two load-bearing rollers (37) can be mounted laterally spaced from one another and essentially at the same height and rotatable about a horizontal axis of rotation (38). At least one, for example, plate-shaped, horizontally aligned projection (40) can also be provided on the front side (4) of these work platforms. At least one guide wheel (39) can be attached to the top side of the projection so that it can rotate about the vertical axis of rotation (41).

These guide wheels (39) can, for example, run along the inside of the front section of the carrier (36) not affected by the recess (42).

By providing the guide wheels (39), the gap width between the work platforms to be connected can be kept to a minimum. In addition, such a structure makes it possible to dispense with supporting the free end of the slidably mounted work platform by means of a support post.

In a low-cost version, the movable work platforms (3,10) are moved sideways by hand.

Alternatively or in addition to this, it is possible to use, for example, a worm drive, a rack and pinion drive, a reciprocating piston drive, a chain drive, a traction cable mechanism or a combination of these to

13

For the purpose of moving the work platforms.

If necessary, a hydraulic, pneumatic or electric motor can be used. This can, for example, act on the worm, rack, chain or traction cable drive with or without a gearbox.

Alternatively or additionally, it can of course also act directly or indirectly on at least one wheel- or ball-shaped drive means (12, 27) located in the lowest section of the respective support post and drive it in rotation.

The respective motor and/or the respective lifting cylinder can, for example, be connected to a manually operated control signal transmitter.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, however, the respective motor and/or the respective lifting cylinder is connected to an automatic control device.

Preferably, this is in turn connected to a memory so that complete movement sequences of the work platforms (3, 10) and/or the mast (7) and/or the carrier (6) can be called up and carried out, for example depending on the vehicle type entered via an input device or the dismantling work to be carried out.

Finally, it is also possible to connect the control device to a device for optical, mechanical or electromagnetic scanning of the contours of a vehicle to be picked up or placed on the ground. In this case, a particularly safe and quick dismantling of an old vehicle is possible.

In a low-cost version, the support posts (28,26,11) of all walkable work platforms (2,3,10) as well as the mast (7) are rigidly preset to a certain height.

In a somewhat more complex design, the support posts and the mast can, for example, each consist of a narrower lower part and an upper part that encompasses this. By guiding a locking pin horizontally through aligned holes in the two overlapping parts, the respective support post or mast can be adjusted to a desired height.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the support posts and/or the mast are individually or jointly mechanically, pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically adjustable in height.

In order to make it easier for the dismantling personnel to access the walk-on work platforms (2,3,10), at least one staircase or ladder-shaped access (13) is provided. Its upper end is rigidly or vertically pivotably connected to at least one of the work platforms (2,13,10), while its lower end is suspended from the ground.

(1) or rests displaceably thereon via a rolling body (27).

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the carrier (6) running at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the carrier (6) corresponds essentially to the shape of a letter "U" or "V" closed or open at the bottom or a combination thereof.

The clear width and the clear height of the U- or V-beam (6) are at least large enough that a tine of a forklift truck suitable for supporting the weight of the vehicle, placed in the beam (6) or inserted into it from the front, is at least laterally enclosed by the beam (6).

For stability reasons, the lower edges of the opposing support sides are usually connected to each other so that a forklift tine is also enclosed from below by the support (6).

Preferably, the lateral edges of the carrier (6) protrude upwards at least slightly above the upper vehicle support surface of the forklift tine deposited in the carrier (6).

Of course, it is also possible to design the carrier(s) (6) in such a way that, when viewed from the front, they essentially correspond to a letter "I" or two letters "I" standing next to each other.

0 Such a design of the carrier (6) leads to the advantage that the fork-shaped tines of an approaching

After the end-of-life vehicle has been placed on the carrier (6), the forklift truck can be driven downwards without any restrictions and the forklift truck can already negotiate a curve when reversing.
5

An I-, U- or V-shaped design of the carrier (6) leads to the advantage that the tines of a fork-shaped carrier (6), for example, can be very far apart from one another, i.e. almost to a size corresponding to the wheelbase of the vehicle to be dismantled.

This large tine spacing results in a particularly high level of tipping safety of the supported vehicle, which is particularly noticeable when pivoting or tilting a fork-shaped carrier (6).

Since the tines of the forklift truck delivering the end-of-life vehicle can be inserted into the U- or V-shaped supports (6) from the front and/or lowered into them from above and, if necessary, guided downwards through them, the distance between the forks of the delivering forklift truck can also be very wide. This ensures that the end-of-life vehicle is transported to the dismantling device in a particularly tip-proof manner.

Thanks to the present invention, it is not necessary to make the distance between the tines of the delivering forklift particularly narrow in order to enable the forklift fork to advance between the fork (6) of the dismantling device, which is adapted to the possibly narrow wheelbase of the old vehicle. In particular, under safety

17

This feature is of particular importance in terms of safety aspects.

Of course, it is possible to approach the supports (6) of the dismantling device not from the front, but for example at a right angle from the side with the loaded forklift truck.

In this case, the carrier (6) has, as an alternative or in addition to the downwardly closed or open I-, U- or V-shaped cross-sectional area, at least one U- or V-shaped recess (15) for guiding the forklift tines through during loading by a forklift truck approaching at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the carrier (6).

When looking at a fork-shaped support (6) from the side, these recesses (15) are, for example, aligned in the front and rear sections of the support (6) and are spaced apart from one another according to the distance between the tines of the approaching forklift truck.

The length of the at least one support (6) can basically be any length. Preferably, however, the support (6) is long enough to reach at least to the center of gravity of the vehicle to be supported. For safety reasons, however, it is recommended that the support be at least as long as the width of the vehicle.

In a low-cost embodiment, the length of the carrier (6) can be fixed and correspond, for example, to an average vehicle width.

18

In a preferred embodiment, however, the carrier (6) has a length-adjustable structure. The length adjustability of the carrier (6) can be achieved, for example, by a telescopic structure of the carrier with two essentially U-shaped profiles that lie one inside the other and can be moved against one another.

In order to enable a centered setting down of an old vehicle on the carrier (6), which takes place particularly quickly and, while excluding the possibility of errors, contributes significantly to the safety of the device according to the invention, limiting posts (16) and/or limiting plates and/or limiting thresholds can be used, which form the upper support surface of the respective carrier

(6) protrude at least slightly upwards.

For example, in the front section of the carrier (6) and in the rear section of the carrier (6) or on the fork carrier (17) behind it, one or more essentially vertical posts

(16) be rigid, plug-in, extendible or foldable and lockable.

The rear posts (16), for example, prevent the old vehicle from being set down too far back by a forklift truck delivering the vehicle, i.e. in the area of the rear work platform (2). The front posts (16), on the other hand, act as "scraper devices" and prevent the old vehicle from being accidentally picked up when the forklift truck reverses if its forks are accidentally not moved down far enough after the vehicle has been set down.

19

Both the rear and the front posts (16) can, particularly when they are extended essentially vertically upwards, have the additional task of preventing the old vehicle placed on them from slipping when the carrier (6) is swiveled or tilted.

It goes without saying that the shape of the posts (16) in this case can be not only straight, but also curved or bent.

An embodiment of the device according to the invention that is particularly cost-effective to produce has at least two independent supports (6). Each of these supports (6) can be anchored, for example, to a different mast (7) or to different attachment points on the frame of the rear work platform (2) or on the building wall.

Preferably, however, at least two prong-shaped supports (6) are connected to one another via a fork support (17). As a rule, the prongs of such a fork-shaped support (6) run essentially parallel to one another.

Each support (6) or fork support (17) can be connected directly or indirectly via a device (8) to the mast (7) or the frame of the rear working platform (2) or the building wall in a rigid or vertically pivotable manner and/or tiltable to the side and/or adjustable in height.

The panning and/or tilting device {8) is, for example, a ball joint or a universal joint or a carriage guided through the mast (7) or the frame of the rear work platform (2) or a combination thereof.

In a preferred embodiment, the device according to the invention comprises, for example, essentially two supports (6) running parallel to one another, the rear ends of which are rigidly attached to a horizontally aligned fork support (17). The horizontally aligned fork support (17) carries at least one lever arm (22) projecting from the front. Such a device also comprises, for example, a rear support (18) to which the fork support (17) is attached so that it can pivot upwards and downwards about the axis of rotation (20). Finally, such a device can comprise a support plate (19) to which the rear support (18) is attached so that it can tilt to the side about the axis of rotation (21). The rear side of the support plate (19) can be attached to the mast (7) or the frame of the rear work platform (2) so that it can be adjusted in height, for example by means of a spindle or lifting cylinder drive.

A dovetail-shaped design of the rear side of the carrier plate (19) in conjunction with a dovetail-shaped groove in the mast (7) allows, for example, a vertical displacement of the carrier plate (19) while excluding the risk of the carrier plate (19) tearing out of its guide.

21

In order to be able to tilt the rear support (18) sideways about the rotation axis (21), the upper ends of two lateral lifting devices (21) are each pivotably attached in one of the two outer sections of the rear support (18). Their lower ends are pivotably attached essentially centrally in the lower area of the support plate (19).

To bring about a vertical pivoting movement of the fork carrier (17) about the axis of rotation (20), the upper end of a central lifting device (23) is pivotally attached to the lever arm (22) protruding from the front of the fork carrier (17). The lower end of the central lifting device (23) is mounted essentially centrally in the lower area of the carrier plate (19).

Each of the lifting devices (21,23) can be driven hydraulically, pneumatically, electrically or manually via a rack and pinion gear or a worm gear.

For safety reasons, it is recommended to equip all or individual lifting devices with at least one mechanical and/or filling medium-acting safety device, which effectively prevents the lifting pistons from moving together unintentionally.

So-called lowering brake valves are particularly suitable for this purpose, which are preferably provided in the immediate vicinity of the outlet of the lines from the respective lifting cylinder.

22

In the event of a sudden loss of pressure in the pipe system, these lowering brake valves prevent the respective lifting device from being accidentally lowered.
5

The advantage of a swiveling and/or tilting design of the carrier (6) for holding an old vehicle is that operating fluids that have accumulated in troughs or recesses of the respective vehicle-side container can be completely emptied and professionally disposed of. This leads to a significant reduction in the burden on the environment. When removing the glazing, tilting the old vehicle can ensure that the resulting glass splinters fall into a collecting tray underneath and do not remain inside the vehicle.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one device for locking a vehicle placed on the carrier (6) is provided, which allows the vehicle to be held securely on the carrier (6) both in a vertically pivoted position and in a laterally inclined position of the carrier (6).

Such a locking device can be, for example, a tensioning belt placed over the vehicle. Alternatively or in addition to this, claws acting hydraulically on the sides of the vehicle can be used for this purpose. It is also conceivable to provide at least one stop element that protrudes pointedly above the top of the carrier (6). Finally, alternatively

23

tiv or in addition thereto, extended posts (6) projecting essentially vertically upwards may be provided on the front section of the support (6) and on the rear section of the support (6) or on the rear support (18).

At this point it is again emphasized that a mast (7) which may be present can be rigidly attached to one location.

Preferably, however, the mast (7) can be moved forwards and backwards and/or to the side manually and/or automatically in a tilt-proof manner via rollers and/or rails and/or runners.
Such a movable design of the mast (7) means, on the one hand, that the distance between the accessible work platforms (2, 3, 10) and the outer contours of an old vehicle placed on the support (6) can be set exactly as required. On the other hand, a mast (7) that can be moved very far forwards, for example, can automatically pick up a vehicle to be dismantled without the aid of a separate forklift.

In order to collect liquids that accidentally escape from the vehicle to be dismantled, the device according to the invention can be completely or at least partially supported by a flat, one-piece or multi-piece collecting tray (24).
In a preferred embodiment, a walkable, essentially grid-shaped cover (25) closes off the tub (24) at the top.

24

Preferably, such a trough (24) is formed substantially at least below the surface which, when viewed from above, is delimited by the outer circumference of the device.

If a soil air extraction system, which is highly recommended, is installed in the installation room, the tray (24) preferably has an inclination in the range of 0.001° to 10° in the direction of this soil air extraction system.

In order to enable a forklift truck to approach the support (6) for supporting an old vehicle without any transition and to exclude any risk of tripping, the collection tray (24) can be enclosed on all sides by a sloping ramp (35) if necessary. Both the ramp (35) and the tray (24) can have a recess on the front, which allows a forklift truck to approach particularly safely without touching the ramp (35) and/or the tray (24).

To facilitate the movement of the support posts (11,26) of the movable work platforms (3,10) and the staircase (13), wheels (27) pivoting about the vertical axis or metal or rubber balls in guide cages or runners can be attached to their lower ends.

The device according to the invention also has any additional devices for draining and/or dismantling

25

days and/or for removing glass, especially from old vehicles.

These additional devices can, for example, be attached rigidly and/or pivotably and/or height-adjustably to the surrounding wall, to the frames and/or support posts of the walkable work platforms and/or to the mast (7).

Of course, it is also possible to provide individual or all such additional devices in a mobile manner, for example on movable, essentially trolley-shaped devices.

Such additional devices include, for example, liquid collection devices and/or liquid suction devices and/or tank emptying devices and/or bumper drilling systems and/or glass removal devices .

In particularly preferred embodiments, these additional devices are modularly interchangeable.

As a rule, at least one supply line 5 for an electrical and/or pneumatic and/or hydraulic device and/or for a suction device and/or an emptying device and/or a flushing device is also provided on at least one support post (11, 26, 28), mast (7) or frame component of the work platforms (2, 3, 10).

As a rule, the work platforms (2,3,10) and/or the staircase (13) are each secured to the outside by a railing (31,32,33,34).

These railings can, for example, be fixed and rigid.

In preferred embodiments, however, at least the railing (33) of the front-side working platform (10) is at least
partially foldable (see illustration

In this case, the side components (29)
and the front components (30) of the railing
(33) of the front working platform (10) individually or
jointly connected to the front-side working platform (10) so that it can be pivoted sideways, backwards or forwards
.
