Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wagenheber nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a jack according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger Wagenheber weist eine quer zur Wagenlängsrichtung schwenkbare Tragplatte auf. Dadurch wird eine eindeutige Anlage der Tragplatte unter dem Wagen, unabhängig von der Stellung des Wagenhebers in Richtung auf die Fahrzeugmitte und unabhängig von der Höhe des angehobenen Wagens gewährleistet.Such a jack has a support plate which can be pivoted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the car. This ensures that the support plate is clearly positioned under the car, regardless of the position of the jack towards the center of the vehicle and regardless of the height of the raised car.

Die DE-C-39 21 826 zeigt einen derartigen Wagenheber. Nachteilig bei diesem Wagenheber kommt es zu einer einseitigen Anlage der Tragplatte am Wagen, wenn er mit seinem Standfuß auf einen in Wagenlängsrichtung unebenen Boden gesetzt wird oder wenn der Wagen beim Anheben aufgrund seiner Fahrwerkskonstruktion eine Vorwärts- oder Rückwärtsbewegung macht. Die EP-A-0 469 234 zeigt einen Wagenheber, bei dem die Tragplatte gegenüber dem Tragelement des Wagenhebers um eine vertikale Achse in einem begrenzten Maß verdrehbar ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, daß der Wagenheber bereits beim Ansetzen am Wagen verdreht zur Wagenlängsrichtung am Boden aufgesetzt werden kann, was ein nicht unerhebliches Unfallrisiko darstellt.DE-C-39 21 826 shows such a jack. The disadvantage of this jack is a one-sided contact of the support plate on the car when it is placed with its pedestal on an uneven floor in the longitudinal direction or when the car makes a forward or backward movement when lifting due to its chassis construction. EP-A-0 469 234 shows a jack in which the support plate can be rotated to a limited extent about a vertical axis relative to the support element of the jack. This makes it possible for the jack to be placed on the floor in the longitudinal direction of the wagon when it is attached to the wagon, which represents a not inconsiderable risk of an accident.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wagenheber nach der DE-C-39 21 826 derartig weiter zu bilden, daß auch Schiefstellungen in Wagenlängsrichtung ausgeglichen werden können ohne das es zu einseitigen Beanspruchungen kommt, die den Wagenboden durch örtliche Pressungen beschädigen können, wobei jedoch ausgeschlossen wird, daß sich der Wagenheber in Wagenlängsrichtung verdreht.The invention has for its object to further develop a jack according to DE-C-39 21 826 such that even misalignments in the longitudinal direction of the car are compensated can be without one-sided stresses that can damage the floor of the car by local pressures, but it is excluded that the jack rotates in the longitudinal direction of the car.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Ansprüchen 2 und 3 beschrieben.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments are described in claims 2 and 3.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung werden vorteilhaft Zwangskräfte auf den Wagenheber vermindert. Es ist jedoch sichergestellt, daß kein Verdrehen des Wagenhebers unter dem Wagen eintreten kann. Der Wagenheber bleibt immer in Wagenflucht. Die Erfindung ermöglicht eine einwandfreie Funktion aber trotzdem kostengünstige Lösung und garantiert ein Höchstmaß an Schwenkweg.The design according to the invention advantageously reduces constraining forces on the jack. However, it is ensured that there is no twisting of the jack under the car can. The jack always stays in alignment. The invention enables a flawless function but nevertheless a cost-effective solution and guarantees a maximum degree of swivel travel.

Der beschriebene Schwenkarmwagenheber weist ein Standbein 1 und ein über ein Gelenk 2 drehbeweglich an diesem angebundenen Tragarm als Tragelement 3 auf. Über eine Gewindespindel 4 wird der Tragarm gegenüber dem Standbein 1 angehoben. Das Standbein steht auf einem Standfuß 5 auf dem Boden 6 auf. Am freien Ende des Tragarms als Tragelement 3 ist schwenkbeweglich über eine in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufende Schwenkachse 7 eine Tragplatte 8 angeordnet, die unter dem Wagen 9 angesetzt wird und diesen anhebt.The swivel arm jack described has a support leg 1 and a support arm, which is pivotally connected to it via a joint 2, as a support element 3. The support arm is raised relative to the supporting leg 1 via a threaded spindle 4. The support leg stands on a base 5 on the floor 6. At the free end of the support arm as a support element 3, a support plate 8 is arranged so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis 7 extending in the longitudinal direction of the carriage, which is placed under the carriage 9 and lifts it.

Der Tragarm läuft an seinem freien Ende in zwei Stegen 10, 11 aus, die mit einem Tragstift 12 verbunden sind, der in Richtung der Schwenkachse 7 verläuft. Die Schwenkachse wiederum verläuft daneben in Wagenlängsrichtung. Die Tragplatte 8 ist mit Halteschlaufen 13, 14 ausgebildet, die den Tragstift 12 umfassen und damit zwei Schwenkgelenke 15, 16 bilden. Die Halteschlaufen 13, 14 bilden ein Langloch, wobei die Schmalseiten horizontal am Tragstift 12 anliegen, jedoch eine Bewegung der Tragplatte in vertikaler Richtung zulassen. Mittig zwischen den Halteschlaufen 13, 14 ist als Abstützelement 17 zwischen Tragplatte 8 und Tragstift 12 eine konvexe Prägung an der Unterseite der Tragplatte vorgesehen, die sich auf den Tragstift 12 abstützt. Die Prägung hat eine Höhe 18, die etwa der Hälfte der Differenz von Länge zur Breite des Langloches in den Halteschlaufen 13, 14 entspricht. Durch diese Ausbildung kann die Tragplatte 8 gegenüber dem Tragelement 3 nicht nur quer zur Wagenlängsrichtung geschwenkt werden, sondern auch eine begrenzte Nickbewegung in Wagenlängsrichtung durchführen. Trotzdem ist sichergestellt, daß der Wagenheber sich gegenüber dem Fahrzeug nicht verdrehen kann, da der Tragstift 12 horizontal eindeutig in den Halteschlaufen 13, 14 geführt ist.The support arm ends at its free end in two webs 10, 11 which are connected to a support pin 12 which extends in the direction of the pivot axis 7. The swivel axis in turn runs alongside in the longitudinal direction of the car. The support plate 8 is formed with holding loops 13, 14 which comprise the support pin 12 and thus form two swivel joints 15, 16. The holding loops 13, 14 form an elongated hole, the narrow sides lying horizontally on the support pin 12, but permitting movement of the support plate in the vertical direction. A convex embossing on the underside of the support plate, which is supported on the support pin 12, is provided as a support element 17 between the support plate 8 and the support pin 12 in the middle between the holding loops 13, 14. The embossing has a height 18 which is approximately half the difference between the length and the width of the elongated hole in the holding loops 13, 14 corresponds. As a result of this design, the support plate 8 can not only be pivoted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the carriage with respect to the supporting element 3, but can also perform a limited pitching movement in the longitudinal direction of the carriage. Nevertheless, it is ensured that the jack cannot rotate relative to the vehicle, since the support pin 12 is clearly guided horizontally in the holding loops 13, 14.

Wenn besondere Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Begrenzung des Nickwinkels oder der Krafteinleitung von der Tragplatte 8 auf das Tragelement 3 gegeben sind, werden ein oder mehrere Abstützelemente 17 nach den Erfordernissen an geeigneten Stellen zwischen Tragplatte 8 und Tragstift 12 angeordnet. Diese Ausbildung ist nicht zeichnerisch dargestellt.If there are special requirements with regard to the limitation of the pitch angle or the introduction of force from the support plate 8 to the support element 3, one or more support elements 17 are arranged according to the requirements at suitable locations between the support plate 8 and the support pin 12. This training is not shown in the drawing.

Die Ausbildung anderer Wagenheberbauformen, wie beispielsweise Scherenwagenheber oder Doppelgelenk-Wagenheber, kann in gleicher Weise erfolgen. In dem Fall ist das Tragelement 3 beispielsweise der Kopf des Wagenhebers.Other types of jacks, such as scissor jacks or double-joint jacks, can be designed in the same way. In this case, the support element 3 is, for example, the head of the jack.
