In the following, the invention will be explained in detail by means of embodiments with reference to the drawing. In the drawing show:
  • FIG. 1 a representation of a trolley according to the invention with a device for connection to an industrial conveyor system,
  • FIG. 2 after the trolley according to the invention Fig. 1 with the device for connection to a floor conveyor system in an enlarged view,
  • FIG. 3 a representation of another embodiment of a trolley according to the invention with a device for connection to a floor conveyor system,

  • FIG. 5 an illustration of a trolley according to the invention with a device for connection to a floor conveyor system in a different perspective.

Die Figuren 1 bis 5 zeigen jeweils einen Transportwagen 1 mit einer Vorrichtung zur Anbindung an ein Flurfördersystem 2.The FIGS. 1 to 5 each show a trolley 1 with a device for connection to a material handling system. 2

Der Transportwagen 1 weist ein Wagengestell 3 auf zur Aufnahme von zu transportierenden Elementen 4. Weiterhin weist der Transportwagen 1 an dem Wagengestell 3 angeordnete Rollen 5 auf, mittels welchen der Transportwagen verfahren werden kann.The trolley 1 has a carriage frame 3 for receiving elements to be transported 4. Furthermore, the trolley 1 arranged on the carriage frame 3 rollers 5, by means of which the trolley can be moved.

Die Vorrichtung zur Anbindung des Transportwagens 1 an das Flurfördersystem 2 weist im Ausführungsbeispiel zwei in einer lateral zum Wagengestell ausgerichteten Richtung verschiebbare Schienen 7, 8 auf. Bei einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel kann auch nur eine Schiene vorgesehen sein. Mit den lateral verschiebbaren Schienen 7, 8 ist eine absenkbare Koppelstange 9 verbunden, die in eine Aufnahme 10 des Flurfördersystems 2 aufnehmbar ist. Durch die Aufnahme der Koppelstange 9 in die Aufnahme 10 kann eine Kopplung zum Antrieb des Transportwagens erfolgen.The device for connecting the trolley 1 to the material handling system 2, in the embodiment, two in a laterally aligned to the carriage frame direction rails 7, 8. In another embodiment, only one rail may be provided. With the laterally displaceable rails 7, 8 a lowerable coupling rod 9 is connected, which is receivable in a receptacle 10 of the material handling system 2. By receiving the coupling rod 9 in the receptacle 10 can be made a coupling to the drive of the trolley.

Die beiden vorgesehenen Schienen 7, 8 sind jeweils in einer Führung 11, 12 aufgenommen und dadurch lateral verschiebbar angeordnet. Die Führungen sind in einer Querrichtung des Transportwagens angeordnet. Dabei sind die Führungen 11,12 an der Vorderseite des Wagengestells 3 angebracht.The two provided rails 7, 8 are each received in a guide 11, 12 and thereby arranged laterally displaceable. The guides are arranged in a transverse direction of the trolley. The guides 11,12 are attached to the front of the carriage frame 3.

Die absenkbare Koppelstange 9 ist in einer Führung 13 absenkbar geführt, wobei die Führung 13 eine Brücke bildet zwischen den beiden Schienen 7, 8.The lowerable coupling rod 9 is lowered in a guide 13, wherein the guide 13 forms a bridge between the two rails 7, the eighth

In den Ausführungsbeispielen der Figuren 1 bis 5 sind die Schienen 7, 8 als Rechteckschienen ausgebildet, die in rechteckförmigen Rohren als Führung 11, 12 aufgenommen und lateral verschiebbar sind. Die Koppelstange 9 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel als zylindrische Stange ausgebildet, wobei die als Brücke wirkende Führung 13 als zylindrisches Rohr gebildet ist, welches die Koppelstange 9 in vertikaler Richtung verlagerbar aufnimmt.In the embodiments of the FIGS. 1 to 5 the rails 7, 8 are formed as rectangular rails, which are received in rectangular tubes as a guide 11, 12 and laterally displaceable. The coupling rod 9 is formed in the embodiment as a cylindrical rod, wherein acting as a bridge guide 13 is formed as a cylindrical tube which receives the coupling rod 9 displaced in the vertical direction.

Die Koppelstange 9 weist einen unteren zylindrischen Endbereich auf, welcher mit der Aufnahme 10 in dem Flurfördersystem 2 aufnehmbar ist. Dazu ist in dem Flurfördersystem 2, welches als Schubplatte ausgebildet ist, eine zylindrische Ausnehmung gebildet, die durch eine metallische Ronde mit eingebrachter zylindrischer Vertiefung ausgestaltet ist.The coupling rod 9 has a lower cylindrical end portion, which is receivable with the receptacle 10 in the material handling system 2. For this purpose, a cylindrical recess is formed in the material handling system 2, which is designed as a thrust plate, which is configured by a metallic Ronde with inserted cylindrical recess.

Die Vorrichtung zur Anbindung ist somit durch eine lateral und vertikal verschiebbare Koppelstange 9 gebildet, die an der vorderen Seite des Transportwagens angeordnet ist. Die Koppelstange 9 ist im eingefahrenen Zustand an der vorderen Ecke des Wagens angeordnet. Bei lateralem Verschieben wird die Koppelstange seitlich ausgeschoben, so dass der Transportwagen seitlich zu der Schubplatte angeordnet werden und mittels der Vorrichtung zur Anbindung mit der Schubplatte 2 antriebsmäßig verbunden werden kann.The device for connection is thus formed by a laterally and vertically displaceable coupling rod 9 which is arranged on the front side of the trolley. The coupling rod 9 is arranged in the retracted state at the front corner of the car. In lateral displacement, the coupling rod is pushed out laterally, so that the transport carriage can be arranged laterally to the thrust plate and can be drivingly connected by means of the device for connection to the thrust plate 2.

Dabei kann die Schubplatte als Holzplatte gestaltet sein, in welche eine Metallronde eingelassen ist, in welcher die Aufnahme 10 eingebracht ist.In this case, the thrust plate may be designed as a wooden plate, in which a metal blank is inserted, in which the receptacle 10 is introduced.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn ein Auslöse- bzw. Entkoppelmechanismus vorgesehen ist, welcher die Anbindung löst, wenn ein Hindernis angefahren wird oder anderweitig eine Gefahrensituation vorliegt. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass bei einem erhöhten Widerstand die Koppelstange automatisiert angehoben wird, um aus der Aufnahme 10 zu fahren.Furthermore, it is advantageous if a triggering or decoupling mechanism is provided which releases the connection when an obstacle is approached or otherwise there is a dangerous situation. This can be done, for example, that automatically raised at an increased resistance, the coupling rod to drive out of the receptacle 10.
