Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Befördern von Personen mittels eines Spreaders nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist bekannt aus WO 99/64342 .The invention relates to a device for conveying persons by means of a spreader according to the preamble of patent claim 1. Such a device is known from WO 99/64342 ,

Beim Löschen (Entladen) von Containern, die auf Schiffen transportiert werden, müssen zuerst die auf den Lukendeckeln befindlichen Container gelöscht werden. Zur Sicherung gegen Herabfallen während der Fahrt sind diese mittels sogenannter Twistlocks (an den Containerecken anzubringende Verriegelungen) sowohl mit den Lukendeckeln als auch untereinander verriegelt. Vor dem Entladen müssen diese in jedem Fall zuerst manuell entriegelt werden. Im Falle vollkommen manuell zu bedienender Twistlocks werden diese auch beim Laden zuerst auf den Lukendeckel bzw. die bereits verladenen Container gelegt und anschließend ebenfalls manuell verriegelt. Da die Container zum Teil in bis zu fünf Lagen über den Lukendeckeln gestapelt werden, ist es äußerst schwierig, diese vom Deck oder von den häufig zwischen den Containerstapeln vorhandenen Gangways aus zu erreichen. Die unteren beiden Lagen werden mit Hilfe von Stangen vom Deck oder von der Gangway aus ver- oder entriegelt, währen die oberen Lagen ebenfalls mit Hilfe dieser Stangen von oben entriegelt werden müssen. Da in vielen Fällen die Zugänglichkeit auch noch durch überstehende Container erschwert ist, sind diese Arbeiten extrem gefährlich und führen häufig auch zu schwersten Unfällen mit nicht selten tödlichem Ausgang. Aus diesem Grund wurden bereits in mehreren Staaten Vorschriften erlassen, die Arbeiten von der Oberseite der Container aus generell untersagen. Diese Vorschriften sind in der Praxis jedoch noch nicht durchführbar, da es bislang an geeigneten Vorrichtungen fehlt, um das Personal zum Öffnen der Twistlocks sicher vor Ort zu bringen.When unloading (unloading) containers that are transported on ships, first the container located on the hatch covers must be deleted. To protect against falling while driving these are locked by means of so-called twistlocks (to be attached to the container corners locks) both with the hatch covers and with each other. In any case, they must first be unlocked manually before unloading. In the case of completely manually operated twistlocks, these are first placed on the hatch cover or the containers that have already been loaded during loading, and then also manually locked. Since the containers are stacked in part in up to five layers above the hatch covers, it is extremely difficult to reach them from the deck or from the gangways frequently present between the container stacks. The lower two layers are locked or unlocked by means of poles from the deck or the gangway, while the upper layers must also be unlocked from above using these poles. Since in many cases accessibility is made even more difficult by protruding containers, this work is extremely dangerous and often lead to the most serious accidents with not infrequently fatal outcome. For this reason Regulations have already been issued in several states prohibiting work from the top of the container in general. However, these regulations are not yet feasible in practice, since there are so far lack of suitable devices to bring the staff to open the twistlocks safely on site.

Angesichts dieser Problematik bemühen sich zwar verschiedene Hersteller um eine Lösung und bieten entsprechende Geräte an. Diese Geräte (sog. Laschkörbe) haben die Aufgabe, das Personal möglichst nahe an den Einsatzort heranzubringen. Bekannte Ausführungen sind Laschkörbe, die - unter dem Spreader hängend - auf dem obersten Container abgesetzt werden. Von dort aus arbeitet das Personal ebenfalls mit den bereits erwähnten Stangen. Bei einer anderen bekannten Ausführung hängen zwei mit Personen besetzte Körbe - ebenfalls unter dem Spreader hängend - jeweils an den Stirnseiten der Container herab und ermöglichen so zumindest das sichere Erreichen der Twistlocks der obersten Lage. Ein weiteres bekanntes' Gerät ermöglicht zwar durch je drei über Leitern verbundene Laschkörbe, daß die drei obersten Lagen ver- und entriegelt werden können. Jedoch ist dieses Gerät aufgrund seiner Bauhöhe nur sehr bedingt einsetzbar (erforderliche Hubhöhe und. überstehende Container). Ein weiteres ausschlaggebendes Kriterium, um einen rationellen Ablauf des Be- und Entladens zu ermöglichen, ist die Notwendigkeit, dieses Gerät direkt auf dem für die Schiffsverladung notwendigen Brückenkran zu lagern. Durch die spezifische Bauart dieser sehr teueren Großgeräte steht ein geeigneter Platz für dieses Gerät nicht zur Verfügung.In view of this problem, although different manufacturers strive for a solution and offer appropriate equipment. These devices (so-called Laschkörbe) have the task to bring the staff as close as possible to the place of use. Known designs are lashing baskets, which are suspended under the spreader on the top container. From there, the staff also works with the aforementioned bars. In another known embodiment hang two baskets occupied with persons - also hanging under the spreader - each down on the front sides of the container, thus enabling at least the secure reaching the twist locks the top layer. Although a further known device makes it possible, by means of three lashing baskets connected via ladders, that the three uppermost layers can be locked and unlocked. However, due to its height, this device can only be used to a limited extent (required lifting height and protruding containers). Another crucial criterion to enable a rational operation of loading and unloading, the need to store this device directly on the necessary for ship loading bridge crane. Due to the specific design of this very expensive large equipment is a suitable place for this device is not available.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gerät zu entwickeln, das einfach vom Spreader aufgenommen werden kann, dessen Baugröße die Unterbringung auf dem Brückenkran erlaubt und von dem aus trotzdem mindestens zwei bis vier Containerlagen ver- und entriegelt werden können.The invention has for its object to develop a device that can be easily absorbed by the spreader, the size of which allows accommodation on the bridge crane and from which at least two to four container layers can still be locked and unlocked.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The solution of this problem arises from the characteristics of claim 1. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the apparatus, referred to in its entirety as a "lashing basket",
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the lash cage received by the spreader,

  • Figure 11 is a perspective view of the entire Laschkorbes without spreader when it is placed on a container stack, in vertical telekopierter working position and
  • FIG. 12 shows a representation similar to FIG.

Wie die Zeichnung zeigt, ist vorgesehen, daß an einem von einem Spreader 1 aufnehmbaren Rahmen 2 jeweils an den Stirnseiten Laschkörbe 3 angebracht sind, die zur Aufnahme von Personen geeignet sind. Jeder Laschkorb 3 kann über einen vertikalen Teleskoprahmen 4 so weit nach unten ausgefahren werden, daß alle Containerlagen (Container 7) bequem erreicht werden können. Der Laschkorb 3 bietet den beförderten Personen außerdem ausreichenden Schutz sowohl beim Einfahren zwischen die Containerstapel als auch beim vertikalen Verfahren.As the drawing shows, it is provided that Laschkörbe 3 are mounted on a receivable by a spreader 1 frame 2 respectively on the front sides, which are suitable for receiving persons. Each Laschkorb 3 can be extended over a vertical telescopic frame 4 so far down that all Container layers (container 7) can be easily reached. The Laschkorb 3 also offers the promoted persons sufficient protection both when entering between the container stack as well as the vertical method.

Die gesamte Vorrichtung besteht dabei aus einem oberen Aufnahmerahmen 2, der vorzugsweise so gestaltet ist, daß er ohne Änderungen vom Spreader 1 selbsttätig aufgenommen werden kann. Selbstverständlich können auch Ausführungen möglich sein, die es erlauben, den Rahmen 2 über separate Aufnahmeeinrichtungen manuell oder ebenfalls automatisch am Kopfbalken 10 des Spreaders 1 zu befestigen.The entire device consists of an upper receiving frame 2, which is preferably designed so that it can be absorbed automatically by the spreader 1 without changes. Of course, embodiments may also be possible which allow the frame 2 to be manually or automatically fastened to the head bar 10 of the spreader 1 via separate receiving devices.

Wie Figur 1 zeigt, sind die beiden Laschkörbe 3 an jeweils einem Auslegerarm 5 befestigt, die teleskopisch in einem Rahmen 6 gelagert sind. Der horizontale Antrieb zum Ein- und Ausfahren der Auslegerarme 5 erfolgt über die entsprechende Bewegung der Spreaders 1. Damit ist es möglich, daß beim Umsetzen über längere Container nicht der gesamte Laschkorb über diese hinwegbefördert werden muß, sondern ohne angehoben werden zu müssen in gleicher Höhenlage an den Stirnseiten längeres Container entlang quer verlagert werden kann. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß bei mehreren nebeneinander gelagerten, längeren Containern 7 auch die an der Unterseite befindlichen Twistlocks geöffnet oder verriegelt werden können.As FIG. 1 shows, the two lashing baskets 3 are fastened to a respective cantilever arm 5, which are mounted telescopically in a frame 6. The horizontal drive for extending and retracting the extension arms 5 via the corresponding movement of the spreaders 1. Thus, it is possible that when moving over a longer container not the entire Laschkorb must be transported over this away, but without having to be raised in the same altitude on the front side longer container can be moved across. This has the advantage that with several juxtaposed, longer containers 7 and the twist locks located at the bottom can be opened or locked.

An beiden Auslegerarmen 5 sind vertikal teleskopierbare Rahmen 4 angebracht, die es ermöglichen, den Laschkorb 3 so weit abzusenken, daß alle erfoderlichen Arbeitspositionen sicher ohne Zuhilfenahme von Stangen etc. erreicht werden können. Die Holme 9 der Teleskoprahmen 4 können so oft ineinander geschachtelt werden, daß sich im eingefahrenen Zustand eine möglichst geringe Bauhöhe ergibt. Sie befinden sich außerhalb der stirnseitigen Begrenzungsflächen der Container 7, jedoch innerhalb der maximalen Containerbreite.On both boom arms 5 vertically telescopic frame 4 are mounted, which make it possible to lower the Laschkorb 3 so far that all erfoderlichen working positions can be achieved safely without the aid of rods, etc. The spars 9 of the telescopic frame 4 can be nested so often that results in the retracted state as low as possible. They are located outside the front boundary surfaces of the container 7, but within the maximum container width.

An den am weitesten nach unten teleskopierbaren Holmen 9 ist der eigentliche Laschkorb 3 mit den Bedienelementen angebracht. Er ist so ausgebildet, daß für das Bedienpersonal maximaler Schutz bei optimaler Zugänglichkeit zu den Twistlocks gegeben ist. In der geschlossenen Wand können die Bedienelemente untergebracht sein; sie dient gleichzeitig als Gleitfläche entlang der Container 7.At the furthest down telescoping bars 9, the actual Laschkorb 3 is attached to the controls. It is designed so that the operator maximum protection with optimal accessibility is given to the twist locks. In the closed wall, the controls can be accommodated; it also serves as a sliding surface along the container. 7

Bei der dargestellten Vorrichtung hat jeder Laschkorb 3 einen eigenen Hubantrieb 8, der vom jeweiligen Laschkorb 3 aus zu bedienen ist. Der Hubantrieb 8 kann dabei als Motor mit Seilen oder als Hydraulikmotor ausgebildet sein.In the illustrated device, each Laschkorb 3 has its own lifting drive 8, which is to be operated from the respective Laschkorb 3 from. The lifting drive 8 can be designed as a motor with ropes or as a hydraulic motor.

Die zum Heben und Senken der Laschkörbe 3 erforderliche Energie kann vorzugsweise als elektrische Energie über den Spreader 1 zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Jedoch ist auch die Abnahme in Form von hydraulischer Energie oder die Speicherung der beim Aufsetzen des Spreaders 1 auf die Vorrichtung vorhandene potentielle und kinetische Energie möglich. Die Speicherung (z. B. Batterie oder Druckspeicher) der in die Vorrichtung eingeleiteten Energie hat den Vorteil, daß diese auf einem Containerstapel abgesetzt werden kann. Dadurch ist es möglich, daß das Bedienpersonal unabhängig vom Vorhandensein des Spreaders 1 alle Positionen eines Stapels abarbeiten kann, während der Spreader 1 gleichzeitig Lade- und/oder Löscharbeiten ausführen kann. Bei der Energieversorgung über den Spreader 1 ist es vorteilhaft, wen die Verbindung zum Spreader 1 automatisch beim Aufsetzen hergestellt wird. Es ist auch eine manuelle Koppelung möglich.The energy required to raise and lower the lashing baskets 3 can preferably be made available as electrical energy via the spreader 1. However, the decrease in the form of hydraulic energy or the storage of the potential of the spreader 1 on the device potential and kinetic energy is possible. The storage (eg battery or accumulator) of the energy introduced into the device has the advantage that it can be deposited on a container stack. This makes it possible that the operator can process all positions of a stack, regardless of the presence of the spreader 1, while the spreader 1 can simultaneously perform loading and / or unloading. In the power supply via the spreader 1, it is advantageous who the connection to the spreader 1 is automatically made when placed. It is also a manual coupling possible.

Die Energieversorgung zum Wiederhochfahren des Laschkorbs 3 kann wie folgt vorgenommen werden:The power supply to reboot the Laschkorbs 3 can be made as follows:
