D E S C R I Ç Ã O  DESCRIPTION

"MECANISMO DE ACOPLAMENTO"  "COUPLING MECHANISM"

Domínio técnico Technical Domain

O presente pedido descreve um mecanismo de acoplamento entre peças de canto de contentores de carga.  The present application describes a coupling mechanism between cargo container corner pieces.

Antecedentes Background

No que diz respeito à ligação entre peças de canto de contentores é conhecido do estado da técnica a existência de formas de ligação das diferentes peças entre si e/ou com estruturas exteriores. As peças de canto conhecidas do estado da técnica efetuam esta ligação de forma temporária e não eliminam por completo as folgas existentes entre as diferentes peças.  With regard to the connection between container corner pieces it is known in the prior art to have ways of connecting the different pieces to each other and / or to external structures. State-of-the-art corner pieces make this connection temporarily and do not completely eliminate the gaps between the different parts.

Existe uma grande diversidade deste tipo de mecanismos, podendo ser separados em dois grandes grupos, os que apresentam um funcionamento manual onde é necessária a ativação de um mecanismo de bloqueio por pelo menos um utilizador, e os que apresentam um funcionamento automático onde o bloqueio é realizado de forma autónoma quando os contentores entram em contacto uns com os outros. Ambos os mecanismos são utilizados frequentemente como meio de fixação de contentores de carga em navios e em camiões rodoviários . There is a great diversity of this type of mechanisms and can be separated into two large groups, those that have a manual operation where the activation of a locking mechanism by at least one user is required, and those that have an automatic operation where the locking is required. performed autonomously when containers come into contact with each other. Both mechanisms are often used as a means of securing cargo containers on ships and on road trucks.

Para algumas aplicações, onde são utilizados contentores de carga padrão é essencial que as folgas existentes nas ligações tradicionais não existam. Existem empresas que comercializam peças de ligação que permitem o acoplamento de contentores de carga, uns aos outros, através das peças existentes nos cantos do contentor, sem folga recorrendo a peças em aço vazado especialmente concebidas para o efeito. For some applications where standard cargo containers are used it is essential that the gaps in traditional connections do not exist. There are companies that market connection parts that allow the coupling of cargo containers to each other through the parts. at the corners of the container without backlash using specially designed cast steel parts.

A principal diferença do mecanismo agora divulgado para os mecanismos mais tradicionais, quer os automáticos, quer os manuais, reside na eliminação de folgas e a execução do mecanismo recorrendo a tecnologia usada em metalomecânica sem necessidade de recorrer a moldes. Este mecanismo quando comparado com os mecanismos que já eliminam folgas permite a execução da peça sem recorrer a moldes para vazamento de aço . The main difference from the mechanism now disclosed for more traditional mechanisms, whether automatic or manual, lies in the elimination of gaps and the execution of the mechanism using the technology used in metalwork without the need for molds. This mechanism when compared to the clearance-free mechanisms allows the workpiece to be executed without using steel casting molds.

O conjunto formado pela chapa de base (1), chapas soldadas (2) e veio roscado (3) é colocado entre dois cantos de contentores, ficando as chapas soldadas (2) a reentrarem nas peças de canto dos contentores. São depois posicionadas no interior das peças de canto as chapas com furo roscado (5) . O mecanismo de acoplamento é acionado por intermédio de uma chave (4) que por sua vez é acionada através de ferramenta rotativa manual ou automática, com aperto controlado, sobre a engrenagem do veio roscado (3) . In a preferred embodiment, the coupling mechanism is comprised of a base plate (1), two welded plates (2) to the base plate (1), a central gear threaded shaft (3) coupled within the plate. (1), forming a single set as illustrated in Figure 6. Two plates with threaded holes (5) are also part of the coupling mechanism. The assembly formed by the base plate (1), welded plates (2) and threaded shaft (3) is placed between two container corners, the welded plates (2) being reentered into the corner pieces of the containers. The plates with threaded hole (5) are then positioned inside the corner pieces. The coupling mechanism is actuated by means of a wrench (4) which in turn is actuated by means of a manual or automatic, controlled tightening rotary tool on the threaded shaft gear (3).

Na figura 1 apresenta-se uma representação esquemática do mecanismo de acoplamento entre um canto superior esquerdo e um canto inferior esquerdo de dois contentores. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the coupling mechanism between an upper left corner and a lower left corner of two containers.

O componente base da ligação é o conjunto que fica entre as duas peças de canto dos contentores. Este conjunto é compreendido por uma chapa de base (1), por duas chapas soldadas (2) e pelo veio roscado (3) . A chapa de base (1) apresenta duas furações.

The threaded shaft (3) has the particularity that one of the threads is a right thread and the other is a left thread, so that with a single rotation movement there is tightening in the two threaded hole plates (5) which will be inside the threads. Container corner pieces.

Os componentes descritos até agora constituirão um mecanismo único que será transportado de forma solidária, i . e . como um todo . The components described so far will constitute a single mechanism that will be carried in solidarity, i. and . as a whole.

O mecanismo é ainda composto por duas chapas com furo roscado (5) que serão introduzidas dentro das peças de ligação de canto dos contentores, e onde aparafusará o veio roscado (3) . Estas peças são chanfradas nas arestas verticais para facilitar o posicionamento dentro das peças de canto dos contentores. The mechanism is further composed of two threaded hole plates (5) which will be inserted into the corner connection pieces of the containers and into which the threaded shaft (3) will be screwed. These parts are chamfered at the vertical edges to facilitate positioning within the corner parts of the containers.

A peça final é a chave (4) que permitirá acionar o mecanismo de acoplamento através do veio roscado (3) . A chave é constituída por uma barra de secção circular com, por exemplo, 12 mm de diâmetro, com um sem fim numa das extremidades. Na extremidade do sem fim a chave apresenta uma saliência que encaixará numa reentrância criada na chapa de base (1) . The final part is the key (4) that will enable the coupling mechanism to be driven through the threaded shaft (3). The key consists of a circular section bar with, for example, 12 mm in diameter, with a worm at one end.
