Selbstverriegelnder, selbstjustierender Behälter, insbesondere ContainerSelf-locking, self-adjusting container, especially container
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft selbstverriegelnde, selbstjustierende Behälter und hierbei insbesondere Container. Sie ist aber in gleicher Weise auf alle Behälter, gleich welcher Größe und Formgebung, anwendbar, an deren Außenwandungen Hohlkörper zur Aufnahme von Verriegelungsvorrichtungen vorgesehen sind. Nachfolgend soll die Erfindung am Beispiel eines Containers näher erläutert werden.The invention relates to self-locking, self-adjusting containers and in particular containers. However, it can be used in the same way for all containers, regardless of their size and shape, on the outer walls of which hollow bodies are provided for receiving locking devices. The invention will be explained in more detail below using the example of a container.
Der Transport von Frachtgütern erfolgt heutzutage weltweit schwerpunktmäßig durch den Einsatz von standardisierten Containern. Die Container werden am Beladeort abgestellt, dort beladen, sodann auf ein Fahrzeug (Straßen- oder Schienenfahrzeug) geladen, gegebenenfalls zu einem Hafen oder Flughafen verbracht, dort auf ein Schiff oder in ein Flugzeug verladen, sodann für einen sicheren Transport mit anderen Containern verriegelt und vertäut (verlascht) , am Ankunftsort wieder auf ein Fahrzeug verladen, zum Bestimmungsort verbracht und dort abgeladen.Nowadays, the transportation of freight goods is mainly carried out worldwide through the use of standardized containers. The containers are parked at the place of loading, loaded there, then loaded onto a vehicle (road or rail vehicle), possibly brought to a port or airport, loaded onto a ship or an aircraft there, then locked for safe transport with other containers and moored (strapped), loaded onto a vehicle at the point of arrival, brought to the destination and unloaded there.
Die Transportlogistik verlangt ein ebenso sicheres wie schnelles Ver-und Entladen solcher Container, wobei die zum Einsatz kommende Technik in der Lage sein muß, Container unterschiedlicher Abmessungen aufzunehmen, zu transportieren oder zu verriegeln. Container weisen an ihren oberen und unteren Eckbereichen jeweils Hohlkörper auf, die an ihren nach außen gerichteten Seiten ovale Öffnungen besitzen. In diese ovalen Öffnungen können Verriegelungs- vorrichtungen von Auslegegeräten (Container-Spreadern) oder Überhöhengeschirren eingeführt werden, wobei diese Verriegelungsvorrichtungen Endbereiche (twistlocks) aufweisen, deren Abmessungen geringer sind als die ovalen Öffnungen in den Hohlkörpern. Sobald die twistlocks in die Hohlkörper eingeführt sind, werden sie mechanisch verdreht, sodaß der Container mit dem Container-Spreader oder dem Überhöhengeschirr verriegelt ist und transportiert werden kann. Beim Anheben kommt dabei die Oberseite des twistlocks an der Unterseite der Deckenwandung des Hohlkörpers zur Anlage.Transport logistics require such safe and rapid loading and unloading of such containers, and the technology used must be able to accommodate, transport or lock containers of different dimensions. Containers have hollow bodies at their upper and lower corner areas, which have oval openings on their outward-facing sides. Locking devices of delivery devices (container spreaders) or over-height harnesses can be inserted into these oval openings, these locking devices having end regions (twistlocks), the dimensions of which are smaller than the oval openings in the hollow bodies. As soon as the twistlocks are inserted into the hollow body, they are mechanically twisted so that the container with the container spreader or the oversized harness is locked and can be transported. When lifting, the top of the twistlock comes into contact with the underside of the ceiling wall of the hollow body.
Problematisch ist es insbesondere, wenn mehrere übereinander und/oder nebeneinander gestapelte Container miteinander verriegelt werden müssen, wie dies insbesondere bei Schiffsladungen notwendig ist. In diesem Falle erfolgt die Verriegelung manuell, indem übereinander und/oder nebeneinander angeordnete Container durch Ver- bindungs- und Verriegelungselemente miteinander verriegelt werden. Dies ist zeitaufwendig und wegen der Verletzungsgefahr beim Anbringen der Verbindungs- und Verriegelungselemente gefährlich. Es ist beispielsweise aus der DE 100 42 458 und aus der DE 101 04 067 bekannt, übereinander gestapelte Behälter (Container) durch ein automatisches Verriegelungssystem miteinander zu verriegeln, wobei mehrere derart miteinander verriegelte Behälter (Container) auch als Block transportiert werden können.It is particularly problematic when several containers stacked one above the other and / or next to one another have to be locked together, as is necessary in particular with shiploads. In this case, locking takes place manually, in that containers arranged one above the other and / or next to one another are locked together by connecting and locking elements. This is time consuming and dangerous due to the risk of injury when attaching the connecting and locking elements. It is known, for example from DE 100 42 458 and DE 101 04 067, to lock containers (containers) stacked one on top of the other by an automatic locking system, it being possible for a plurality of containers (containers) locked in this way to be transported as a block.
Die Problematik der vertikalen Verriegelung ist also zufriedenstellend gelöst.The problem of vertical locking has been solved satisfactorily.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Behälter bereitzustellen, der so ausgestattet ist, daß er mit anderen gleichartigen Behältern ohne manuelle Tätigkeit horizontal verriegelt werden kann und zugleich eine im Verhältnis zu den benachbarten gleichartigen Behältern definierte Position einnimmt.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a container which is equipped in such a way that it can be locked horizontally with other similar containers without manual action and at the same time assumes a position which is defined in relation to the neighboring similar containers.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Damit ist es möglich, nebeneinander und hintereinander angeordnete Container mechanisch miteinander zu verriegeln, ohne daß eine manuelle Tätigkeit erforderlich ist. Durch eine Vorrichtung entsprechend den Unteransprüchen 4 und 5 erfolgt zugleich eine Justierung des abzustellenden Containers im Verhältnis zu den schon abgestellten Containern, sodaß der abzustellenden Container im Verhältnis zu den benachbarten Containern definiert positioniert wird.This object is achieved with the features of patent claim 1. This makes it possible to mechanically lock containers arranged next to one another and one behind the other, without the need for manual action. A device according to the subclaims 4 and 5 also adjusts the container to be parked in relation to the containers already parked, so that the container to be parked in Relationship to the neighboring containers is defined.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe gemäß Patentanspruch 1 besteht darin, daß an den Außenseiten der Container Mittel, beispielsweise Führungsleisten, angebracht werden, die in entsprechende Führungsleisten benachbarter Container eingreifen und dadurch, daß Container von oben nach unten abgesetzt werden, ein Ineinandergreifen der jeweiligen Führungsleisten bewirken und dabei eine horizontale Verriegelung herbeiführen.The solution to the problem according to claim 1 is that means, for example guide rails, are attached to the outer sides of the containers, which engage in corresponding guide rails of adjacent containers and, because containers are set down from above, cause the respective guide rails to mesh and bring about a horizontal lock.
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die bislang übliche manuelle Verriegelung und Verlaschung entfällt und damit das Verletzungsrisiko der im Hafen oder auf dem Schiff tätigen Arbeiter minimiert wird. Außerdem werden hierdurch in erheblichem Maße Personal, Zeit und damit Kosten gespart.A major advantage of the invention is that the manual locking and lashing that has been customary up to now is eliminated, and the risk of injury to workers working in the port or on the ship is thus minimized. In addition, this saves a considerable amount of personnel, time and therefore costs.
Die Mittel, also beispielsweise die Führungsleisten, können u- förmig, hakenförmig oder rundgebogen sein. Es ist jede Form denkbar, die ein Ineinandergreifen der Mittel benachbarter Container ermöglicht.The means, for example the guide strips, can be U-shaped, hook-shaped or curved. Any form is conceivable that enables the means of adjacent containers to interlock.
Wenn die Mittel, also beispielsweise die Führungsleisten, an ihren oberen und/oder unteren Endbereichen von außen nach innen abfallend abgeschrägt sind, haben die Führungsleisten der jeweiligen Container im Verhältnis zueinander Spiel, sodaß sie sich selbsttätig im Verhältnis zueinander justieren können. Damit wird das Rangieren für den Kranfahrer einfacher, weil er nicht mehr aus seinem Führerhaus über die Distanz die genaue Positionierung der Container zueinander bewerkstelligen muß, sondern ihm die Mittel an den Außenseiten der Container hierbei Hilfestellung leisten. Die Erfindung soll nachfolgend anhand einiger Ausführungsbeispiele erläutert werden, wobei der Gegenstand der Erfindung keineswegs auf diese Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt ist. Es zeigenIf the means, for example the guide strips, are sloping at their upper and / or lower end regions from outside to inside, the guide strips of the respective containers have play in relation to one another, so that they can adjust themselves in relation to one another. This makes maneuvering easier for the crane driver because he no longer has to do the exact positioning of the containers from each other from his cab over the distance, but instead the means on the outside of the containers help him to do so. The invention will be explained below with the aid of a few exemplary embodiments, the subject matter of the invention being in no way restricted to these exemplary embodiments. Show it
- die Fig. 1 mehrere horizontal miteinander verriegelte Container in Draufsicht;- Figure 1 several horizontally interlocked containers in plan view.
- die Fig. 2 eine äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung in perspektivischer Ansicht;- Figure 2 is an external locking device in a perspective view.

Figur 1 zeigt ausschnittsweise mehrere hintereinander und nebeneinander angeordnete Container Cl, C2 , C3 und C4, mit Containerek- ken 2, die an ihren oberen und unteren Endbereichen Verriegelungs- gehäuse 21, sogenannte Corner-Castings, mit ovalen Öffnungen 211 aufweisen. Die Container sind miteinander durch äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtungen (24) verriegelt. Diese äußeren Verriegelungs- vorrichtungen (24) sind im Beispielsfall U-förmig ausgebildet und im Innenbereich geöffnet, sodaß die äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung (24) eines benachbarten Containers vollständig durch die Verriegelungsvorrichtung durchgeführt werden kann. Der Transport- und AbsteilVorgang erfolgt stets von oben nach unten, sodaß, wenn ein Container auf seiner Position abgestellt ist, der nächste Container von oben neben den ersten Container positioniert wird. Bei diesem Vorgang kann die äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung des zweiten Containers in die Verriegelungsvorrichtung des ersten Containers eingreifen, sodaß nicht nur eine Verriegelung stattfindet, sondern der zweite Container auch geführt und damit genau an seinen Platz gesetzt werden kann. Werden mehrere Container untereinander transportiert und sollen sie neben mehrere schon gestapelte Container gebracht werden, so kann die äußere Verriegelungsvor- richtung des untersten im Transport befindlichen Containers in die äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung des obersten gestapelten Containers eingeführt und hindurchgeführt werden, um dann in die äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung des nächstunteren gestapelten Containers eingeführt zu werden usw. Dadurch wird zugleich eine platzsparende und genaue Anordnung der Container ermöglicht.FIG. 1 shows a section of several containers C1, C2, C3 and C4 arranged one behind the other and next to one another, with container corners 2 which have locking housings 21, so-called corner castings, with oval openings 211 at their upper and lower end regions. The containers are locked together by external locking devices (24). In the example, these outer locking devices (24) are U-shaped and opened in the interior, so that the outer locking device (24) of an adjacent container can be carried out completely by the locking device. The transport and depositing process always takes place from top to bottom, so that when one container is parked in its position, the next container is positioned from above next to the first container. In this process, the outer locking device of the second container can engage in the locking device of the first container, so that not only does locking take place, but the second container can also be guided and thus placed exactly in place. If several containers are transported one below the other and if they are to be brought next to several already stacked containers, the outer locking device Direction of the lowest container in transport is inserted into the outer locking device of the uppermost stacked container and passed through, in order to be then inserted into the outer locking device of the next stacked container, etc. This also enables a space-saving and precise arrangement of the containers.
Die äußeren Verriegelungsvorrichtungen können an den Seitenteilen der Container angebracht werden. Vorteilhaft werden sie, wie in der Figur 1 dargestellt, an den Containerecken befestigt.The outer locking devices can be attached to the side parts of the containers. As shown in FIG. 1, they are advantageously attached to the container corners.
Fig. 2 zeigt eine an einer Containerecke 2 befestigte oder einstückig mit ihr verbundene äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung (24) in perspektivischer Ansicht. Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 24 ist an der Containerecke 2 so positioniert, daß der Zugang zu den ovalen Öffnungen des Corner-Castings nicht behindert wird. Gleiches gilt mit Bezug auf das in Fig. 2 nicht dargestellte Corner-Casting am unteren Endbereich der Containerecke.2 shows a perspective view of an outer locking device (24) fastened to a container corner 2 or integrally connected to it. The locking device 24 is positioned on the container corner 2 so that access to the oval openings of the corner casting is not hindered. The same applies to the corner casting at the lower end region of the container corner, not shown in FIG. 2.
In Fig. 3 ist, aus der in Fig. 2 angedeuteten Blickrichtung A dargestellt, eine äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung 24 mit von außen nach innen abgeschrägten Ecken zu sehen. Die äußere Verriegelungs- vorrichtung besteht aus einem langen Schenkel 241, aus einem Querschenkel 242 und aus einem kurzen Schenkel 243. Alle drei Schenkel sind im Bereich ihres oberen Endes von außen nach innen abfallend abgeschrägt. Der kurze Schenkel 243 kann zusätzlich noch im Bereich seiner Teilfläche 243' abgeschrägt werden, um die Einführung der äußeren Verriegelungsvorrichtung 24'' des weiteren Containers zu erleichtern.In FIG. 3, from the viewing direction A indicated in FIG. 2, an outer locking device 24 with corners chamfered from the outside inward can be seen. The outer locking device consists of a long leg 241, a cross leg 242 and a short leg 243. All three legs are sloping in the area of their upper end from the outside inwards. The short leg 243 can additionally be chamfered in the area of its partial surface 243 'in order to facilitate the introduction of the outer locking device 24' 'of the further container.
Fig 4 schließlich zeigt eine äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung 24 aus der Perspektive gemäß Fig. 3, in die die äußere Verriegelungs- vorrichtung 24'' eines weiteren Containers eingreifen möchte. Aus dieser Perspektive ist nur die äußere Wand des Querschenkels 242'' zu sehen. Daher sind die verdeckten Schenkel 241'' und 243'' gestrichelt dargestellt. Es ist erkennbar, daß der kurze Schenkel 243'' im Bereich seines unteren Endes sowohl eine von außen nach innen abfallende Schrägung a als auch eine von innen nach außen abfallende Schrägung b aufweist. Dies erleichtert dem kurzen Schenkel 243'' das Gleiten in den Innenraum der äußeren Verriegelungsvorrichtung 24, welcher von den Innenseiten der Schenkel 241, 242 und 243 begrenzt wird. Es ist erkennbar, daß die Breite des kurzen Schenkels 243'' geringer ist als die Breite der Innenwand des Querschenkel 242. Der kurze Schenkel 243'' hat beim Gleiten in die äußere Verlegungsvorrichtung 24 also Spiel. Dadurch, daß die oberen Bereiche der Schenkel 241,242 und 243 von außen nach innen abfallend abgeschrägt sind, und daß das untere Ende des kurzen Schenkels 243'' ebenfalls abgeschrägt ist, besteht auch im rauhen Transportgeschäft genügend Bewegungsraum für die äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung 24'', um in die äußere Verriegelungsvorrichtung 24 zu gleiten.Finally, FIG. 4 shows an external locking device 24 from the perspective according to FIG. 3, in which the external locking device 24 ″ of another container would like to engage. From this perspective, only the outer wall of the cross leg 242 '' to see. The hidden legs 241 ″ and 243 ″ are therefore shown in dashed lines. It can be seen that the short leg 243 ″ has in the region of its lower end both a slope a falling from the outside inwards and a slope b falling from the inside out. This makes it easier for the short leg 243 ″ to slide into the interior of the outer locking device 24, which is delimited by the inner sides of the legs 241, 242 and 243. It can be seen that the width of the short leg 243 ″ is less than the width of the inner wall of the cross leg 242. The short leg 243 ″ therefore has play when sliding into the outer laying device 24. Due to the fact that the upper areas of the legs 241, 242 and 243 are sloping downwards from the outside inwards and that the lower end of the short leg 243 '' is also beveled, there is also enough space for the outer locking device 24 '' in the rough transport business to slide into the outer locking device 24.
Da die äußeren Verriegelungsvorrichtungen aus gehärtetem Stahl, beispielsweise aus V2A Stahl bestehen, ist nicht zu besorgen, daß sie beim Transport der Container bzw. beim Absetzen oder Rangieren beschädigt werden. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn sie mit den Containerecken einstückig ausgebildet sind. Since the outer locking devices are made of hardened steel, for example V2A steel, there is no need to worry that they will be damaged when the containers are transported or when they are set down or maneuvered. This applies in particular if they are formed in one piece with the container corners.
