Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an industrial truck with a piston-cylinder arrangement, comprising a cylinder and a retractable therefrom and in these retractable piston, as a drive and / or leadership a first component for movement relative to a second component, in particular as a drive of components of a mast, wherein the piston with a component assigned to it: first or second component, for power transmission coupled and wherein the cylinder on a cylinder bearing the other, the cylinder associated component stored and the Power transmission is coupled with this.
  • piston-cylinder arrangements as drives and / or as a guide of an extension and a retraction movement used by lifting frame relative to truck frame fixed stands.
  • the cylinder In order to achieve the most stable, load-bearing structure of a mast on the To obtain the truck, the cylinder is usually at least one Bearing as rigid as possible connected to the component stored him.
  • misalignment means that piston longitudinal axis and cylinder longitudinal axis are not ideally coaxial, but in orthogonal to the cylinder longitudinal axis direction Offset offset slightly to each other and / or to a tilted slightly to the cylinder longitudinal axis orthogonal axis of rotation are. Such misalignments affect especially at far from the Cylinder extended piston, since the piston through the more accurate The cylinder can be guided, the longer the remaining in the cylinder Piston line is.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore an industrial truck of the above specify type, in which a cylinder of a piston-cylinder assembly bearing truck component is less heavily loaded is.
  • the cylinder can a compensation movement in a direction in which form or / and position deviations from the ideal shape or ideal position, such as misalignment between Pistons and cylinders are reduced, which also makes one in the field the piston opening of the cylinder on this exerted support torque decreases.
  • This support torque is proportional in its amount to the amount of misalignment.
  • the relative amount of shape and / or Position inaccuracies is reduced by a compensatory movement, such as it is made possible by the cylinder bearing according to the invention.
  • the cylinder will be driven by him on the extended Piston-acting support torque, move in one direction, in which this applied to him supporting moment becomes smaller, so that the truck with the movably mounted cylinder in certain Borders represents a self-optimizing system.
  • a separate controller to move the cylinder in a suitable direction is not required.
  • the piston-cylinder arrangement is preferably a hydraulic one Drive suitable for lifting and / or lowering large loads is.
  • the cylinder a closed longitudinal end and a longitudinal end with a piston opening on, wherein the cylinder bearing for the advantageous avoidance of excessive Cylinder deformation of the cylinder in the region of its longitudinal end with piston opening outsourced. Since a seal is provided at the piston opening, which the piston opening against entry of dirt into the cylinder chamber and possibly seals against leakage of hydraulic fluid, here is a Bermmuxness exists between piston and cylinder, by which forces be introduced from the piston into the cylinder. These forces can all the more less lead to deformation of the cylinder, the closer the cylinder bearing the piston opening is.
  • the cylinder bearing is provided such that the piston opening does not exceed 20% of the total length of the Cylinder from the cylinder bearing is located away. Even more advantageous the removal of the piston opening does not account for 10% of the total length of the cylinder exceed. Particularly high forces can be achieved without appreciable deformation be absorbed by the cylinder when the piston opening is not further than 5% of the total length of the cylinder from the cylinder bearing is arranged.
  • a movement of cylinder and cylinder bearing is relative to each other only a slight local relative movement in the area designated the cylinder bearing.
  • the relative mobility of cylinders and cylinder bearing at the location of the cylinder storage do not exclude that the cylinder at a further bearing on the him assigned component or is mounted on another component.
  • These another bearing point of the cylinder can be a floating bearing or even be a rigid depository, so that in the latter case the local Mobility of the cylinder in the range of the cylinder bearing discussed here relative to this, essentially by a deformation of the cylinder established.
  • the cylinder is an offset of the cylinder longitudinal axis and this substantially parallel piston longitudinal axis by movement relative to the cylinder bearing can reduce
  • the cylinder may be provided such that he relative to the cylinder bearing in at least one of the cylinder longitudinal axis direction orthogonal displacement direction, preferably in two to each other and to the cylinder longitudinal axis orthogonal directions of displacement, is displaceable.
  • the cylinder may be used to reduce tilting of cylinder and piston longitudinal axis relative to each other also such be stored on the cylinder bearing that he relative to the cylinder bearing at least a tilt axis orthogonal to the cylinder longitudinal axis direction, preferably by two to each other and to the cylinder longitudinal axis direction orthogonal tilt axes, tiltable.
  • a displacement be it now displaceability or tiltability in two mutually orthogonal Displacement directions or about two mutually orthogonal tilt axes provides a much greater possibility of error correction than a relocatability with only one orthogonal to the cylinder longitudinal axis direction Displacement direction or orthogonal to the cylinder longitudinal axis direction Tilting axis.
  • a much needed compensation movement direction can be a displacement in only one direction of displacement or be advantageous to only one tilt axis, since this camp stiffer than a camp be formed with biaxial displacement possibility can.
  • both surfaces are convexly curved or that one of the surfaces is flat.
  • a tiltability or rotatability about at least two to each other and to the cylinder longitudinal axis direction orthogonal tilting axes can be obtained by Bearing surface and cylindrical surface in each case only one to the cylinder axis direction orthogonal curvature axis are convex curved that however, the axis of curvature of the support surface and the axis of curvature the cylindrical bearing surface are orthogonal to each other.
  • Such solutions lead to very high surface pressures at the contact point of Bearing surface and cylinder bearing surface, which is less preferred.
  • a very good option to compensate for manufacturing and / or assembly errors if at least one of the surfaces: bearing surface and cylinder bearing surface, at least in the area of the investment engagement by two to each other as also to the cylinder longitudinal axis orthogonal direction of curvature axes is convexly curved.
  • the cylinder can relative to the cylinder bearing in any direction orthogonal to the cylinder longitudinal axis direction Tilting tilted or tilted.
  • the bearing surface and / or the cylinder bearing surface at least be executed in sections barrel-shaped, so that different Kippachsen associated with different radii of curvature, what can lead to a preferential tilting axis.
  • This may be desired, though a preferential compensation movement is known, because then still a Ausreteskippterrorism about an orthogonal to the preferred tilt axis Tilting is possible, but a difficult tilting always a Increasing the bearing stiffness allowed.
  • An improved guidance of the relative tilting movement of cylinder and cylinder bearing can be obtained by having one of the surfaces: bearing surface and cylinder bearing surface, at least in the field of investment engagement at least one orthogonal to the cylinder longitudinal axis direction of curvature axis is convexly curved and the other surface: cylinder bearing surface and support surface, at least in the area of the investment engagement by at least a curvature axis orthogonal to the cylinder longitudinal axis direction is concavely curved.
  • the Cylinder bearings are made very sturdy and thus durable when the Bearing surface and the cylinder bearing surface are curved so that they lie flat against each other.

  • the support surface can be provided as desired on the cylinder be.
  • the support surface extends along a peripheral portion of the cylinder.
  • a higher bearing capacity of the bearing surface still results in very efficient use of the available space when the bearing surface surrounds the cylinder in the circumferential direction. This also allows a uniform force on a cylinder bearing To be supported force in the bearing surface.
