Definitions

  • This invention relates to loading of a container.
  • the invention relates to a loader for loading a load into a container, and to a method of loading a container.
  • the inventor is aware of loaders for use in loading cargo containers into aircraft and the like.
  • the loading of loose materials such as scrap metal into containers raises particular problems that cannot be addressed by the loaders of which the inventor is aware.
  • a loader for loading a load into a container, the loader including a carrier defining a loading zone, having a base onto which a load can be loaded, the carrier being horizontally displaceable; and discharge means for moving the load off the base of the loading zone.
  • the discharge means may include an ejector moveable across the loading zone, in operation to discharge a load from the loading zone.
  • the loading zone may be defined by the base and at least one side.
  • the loading zone may be defined by the base and two sides.
  • the ejector may be in the form of a side of the loading zone.
  • the loading zone may be defined by the base, the ejector and two sides, one on each side of the ejector.
  • the ejector may include a hydraulic cylinder, drivingly connected thereto for urging the ejector across the loading zone.
  • the discharge means may include a conveyor belt on the base of the loading zone, the conveyor belt moveable to move a load from the base towards a side of the base.
  • the loader may include alignment means for aligning the carrier with an entry to the container.
  • the alignment means may be operable to align the carrier with the rear entry by lifting the carrier so that the carrier can be moved into the container without interfering with its sides.
  • the alignment means may include an undercarriage on which the carrier is vertically displaceably mounted.
  • the carrier may include a set of rollers disposed underneath the base so that the base of the loading zone is horizontally displaceable in unison with the discharge means, in use to be rolled into a container, with the load on the loading zone.
  • the rollers may be operable to roll the carrier over a floor of a container as the carrier is moved into the container.
  • a method of loading a container which method includes loading a load onto a loading zone of a carrier, the carrier shaped and dimensioned to fit into the container; moving the loaded carrier into the container; retracting the carrier from the container while discharging the load from the loading zone into the container.
  • the carrier may be defined by a base, an ejector in the form of a side, and two sides, one on each side of the ejector, in which moving the loaded carrier into the container includes moving the loaded carrier, including the base, ejector and two sides into the container.
  • Retracting the carrier from the container may include retracting the base and the two opposed sides, while retaining the ejector stationary in the container, thereby to retract the base from underneath the load as the ejector moves across the loading zone.
  • the method may include aligning the carrier with the container prior to moving the loaded carrier into the container.
  • Figure 1 shows a three dimensional view of a loader in accordance with the invention.
  • a loader 10 is shown in use.
  • the loader 10 includes a carrier 12 which defines a loading zone 14 having a base 16 and two sides 18, 20.
  • the loader further includes discharge means 22 for moving a load 48 (shown for illustration in broken lines), from the loading zone 14 into a container 24 (shown in broken lines).
  • a load 48 shown for illustration in broken lines
  • container 24 shown on the load bed of a truck 26, also shown in broken lines.
  • the container 24 includes eight anchor points (not shown) on each of its bottom and top corners. When loaded, the anchor points are used to anchor the container on the load bed 26.
  • the discharge means includes an ejector push plate 28 defined and a hydraulic cylinder 30 from which a hydraulic rod 31 can be driven.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 30 is connected to a hydraulic power pack 32 and a hydraulic storage tank 34.
  • the push plate 28 is moveable across the loading zone 14 in the direction of arrow 36.
  • the push plate 28 forms a backside of the loading zone 14.
  • a cylinder holding plate 33 (shown in broken line, for clarity) on which the cylinder is mounted.
  • the cylinder holding plate 33 can be fastened to the carrier and includes hydraulic locking cylinders.
  • the hydraulic rod 31 is extendible from the hydraulic cylinder 30 with the push plate 28 moving in unison with the hydraulic rod 31.
  • the cylinder holding plate 33 moves in unison with the cylinder 30, i.e. the push plate 28 and the cylinder holding plate 33 being movable relative to each other perpendicular to their planes along the cylinder/rod axis.
  • any load in the loading zone 14 will be discharged at an open end of the loading zone 14 distal from the cylinder holding plate. It is to be appreciated that the hydraulic cylinder 30 has to be telescopic to be able to move the full length of the loading zone.
  • the loader 10 further includes rollers, generally indicated by reference numeral 38 for rolling the carrier 12 into a container, such as 24.
  • the rollers are free running operatively in the direction of arrow 40.
  • the loader is provided with alignment means in the form of hydraulic lifts 44, 46 mounted on an undercarriage 47.
  • the lifts 44, 46 can thus move and align the carrier 12 to be level with the entrance to the container 24.
  • the undercarriage 47 is connectable to the container anchor plates to anchor the lifting unit 47 to the container 24 and to align the carrier 12 to the container's entrance.
  • the load 48 is loaded onto the container 24 by anchoring the undercarriage 47 to the container anchor points.
  • the lifts 44, 46 are operated to align the carrier vertically with the container entrance.
  • the cylinder holding plate 33 is anchored to the undercarriage 47, i.e. to secure it in position relative to the container and the hydraulic rod 31 causes the push plate 28 to move away from the cylinder holding plate 33.
  • the carrier moves in unison with the push plate 28 on the rollers 38 into the container 24 until the carrier 12 is completely received into the container.
  • the loader 10 is now prepared for ejection of the load 48 by retracting the rod 31 but allowing the cylinder 30 and cylinder holding plate 33 to move freely towards the push plate 28, until the rod 31 is fully retracted into the cylinder 30.
  • the cylinder holding plate 33 is then attached to the carrier 12, the push plate 28 is released from the carrier 12 and the holding plate 33 attaches itself to the carrier 12.
  • the rod 31 is again extended urging the push plate 28 away from the cylinder holding plate 33, but the cylinder holding plate 33 being connected to the carrier 12 extracts the carrier from underneath the load as the push plate 28 moves over the base 16 of the carrier 12.
  • the carrier 12 rolling on the rollers 38 back onto the undercarriage 47.
  • the description of the loader 10 in use illustrates a method of loading a container 24.
  • the inventor believes that the invention, as illustrated provides a new method of loading a container, especially with materials that are difficult to load into a container, from a rear entrance, such as scrap metal, or the like.
  • the invention is not limited to loading of loose materials.
  • the invention may also be useful in the loading of machinery, pallets, loose boxes, steel coils or any other load that can be loaded into a container.
