Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fall protection device for a lifting gate, in particular a machine protection lifting gate, and a lifting gate, in particular a machine protection lifting gate, with such a fall protection device.
  • Lifting gates are used in industry as part of a safety fence around a work area, for example a robot workstation, in order to create a possibility of access to the otherwise fenced-in work area.
  • a lifting gate can also be part of an intermediate subdivision of such a work area and, in particular in this application, have to be opened and closed frequently and quickly.
  • the correct functioning of the lifting gate and its resistance to impact, for example a robot arm, are highly relevant to safety in order to avoid accidents, in particular a collision with the robot. Therefore, high demands are placed on it. For example, it is necessary that the lifting gate is securely held in its vertically upper position, even in the event of an unwanted collision with, for example, a robot arm.
  • a fall protection for the lifting gate is provided for this in practice, which locks the lifting gate mechanically against downward movement by providing a pneumatically or hydraulically actuated bolt which can be brought into a bolt-eye connection. The bolt is actively operated in order to bring it into its locking position within the eyelet. To lower the lifting gate, the bolt is actuated to remove it from the eyelet and thus cancel the mechanical lock. Due to the active control, the conventional fall protection systems are complex and maintenance-intensive.
  • EP 0 721 043 A1 discloses a monitoring device for a support cable of a door leaf with an electrical catching device connected to the carrying cable and a mechanical catching device, which are connected in series in such a way that first the electrical catching device and then the mechanical catching device respond.
  • the present invention is based on the object of specifying a fall protection device for a lifting gate, the fall protection device doing without an active control, being inexpensive to manufacture, advantageously requiring little or no maintenance and working reliably.
  • a fall protection device for a lifting gate, in particular a machine protection lifting gate of the type explained at the beginning, has at least one mechanical locking device which comprises a gate carrier movable in a vertical direction for joint movement with the lifting gate and a support element which is stationary in the vertical direction, the gate carrier and the support element in a mechanically locked engagement with one another which blocks a vertical movement, in particular a downward movement, of the gate carrier can be brought.
  • the locking device comprises at least one articulated pawl, which is connected at least indirectly to the gate support and which can be pivoted into mechanically locked engagement with the support element.
  • a stop element which has a guide in which the pawl is guided in such a way that it can be deflected upon deflection of the Stop element is pivoted in the direction of the support element.
  • the stop element In a predetermined vertical end position, in particular in a predetermined upper position, the stop element is assigned a stop against which the stop element strikes during a vertical movement, in particular an upward movement, of the gate carrier.
  • the fall protection is advantageously provided at the upper end of the lifting gate in order to avoid undesired movement of the gate support and thus of the lifting gate in a vertical downward movement. In principle, however, it can also be used at a lower end of the lifting gate to avoid vertical movement of the gate support or the lifting gate in an upward direction when a robot arm strikes from below. In the following, however, the invention is explained on the basis of an advantageous embodiment in which the fall protection avoids a downward movement of the gate support or the lifting gate.
  • the support element preferably comprises a bolt and the pawl comprises a mouth, the mouth being attachable to the bolt by pivoting the pawl.
  • the support element comprises a corresponding mouth or a recess and the pawl has a bolt which can be suspended in the mouth or the recess.
  • Other embodiments are possible.
  • the guide comprises a gate with which a sliding block connected to the pawl engages.
  • the desired pivoting of the pawl is achieved when the stop element is moved in the direction of the gate support, either because the stop element is stopped in its vertical movement by the stop and the gate support moves further in the vertical direction, or because the stop element is triggered by another force the gate carrier is moved to.
  • the backdrop could also be provided in the latch be and be connected to the sliding block on the stop element as part of the guide or the guide forming.
  • the pawl is advantageously connected at least indirectly to the gate support such that it can be rotated about a horizontal axis of rotation.
  • a pivoting movement is also possible, in which the pawl performs a combined rotary-displacement movement.
  • the stop is mounted displaceably in the vertical direction against a spring force. In this way, tolerances can be compensated for when approaching the end position of the gate support or the lifting gate, for example if a drive device does not move the lifting gate exactly into the desired end position.
  • the stop element In order to safely intercept an impact of a robot arm on the gate carrier from above without the risk of the gate carrier loosening from its mechanical locking with the support element, the stop element preferably completely covers the gate carrier on its upper side. In the case of protection against upward displacement of the gate support, the stop element would preferably completely cover the bottom of the gate support.
  • the stop element can be mounted on the gate support, for example, by means of at least one compression spring or with a plurality of compression springs.
  • a lifting gate according to the invention has at least one gate area and at least one drive device for moving the gate area up and down in a vertical direction.
  • the gate field is connected to the gate support of a fall protection device according to the invention.
  • the gate support is formed by the gate field itself.
  • the gate field can have several segments that can be moved one behind the other. Each segment that is comparatively further down is advantageously positioned on the side of the gate field above that faces away from the work area or danger area in which, for example, a robot is located, in order to prevent, for example, a robot arm from hitting a segment not covered by the stop element from above beats. As a rule, it can be sufficient to secure only the top gate field with a fall protection device according to the invention.
  • the drive device is advantageously connected vertically below the stop element and separately from the stop element on the gate field and / or on the gate support.
  • the drive device can, for example, comprise a chain drive or a belt drive which is connected to the gate field and / or to the gate support.
  • a chain drive or a belt drive which is connected to the gate field and / or to the gate support.
  • other drive devices can also be used.
  • the fall protection device according to the invention advantageously manages without an external control and advantageously works purely mechanically.
  • Different co-operating springs are advantageously matched to one another with regard to a spring force. If, for example, the stop is mounted displaceably against the force of at least one spring, this spring or spring combination has in particular a greater spring force than the spring or spring combination with which the stop element is supported on the gate support.
  • the spring force of the spring / spring combination assigned to the stop is twice the spring force which is made available by the at least one spring or spring combination with which the stop element is mounted on the gate support.
  • the stop itself can be designed, for example, in the form of a rubber buffer.
  • the gate carrier is moved together with the stop element in the direction of the stop, the stop element first strikes the stop and is moved relatively in the direction of the gate carrier when the gate carrier continues to move.
  • the pawl connected to the gate support is pivoted due to the guide provided on the stop element, so that it moves in the direction of the support element for its mechanical locking and is finally locked with the support element.
  • a body for example a robot arm
  • hits the stop element from above this exerts a force on the stop element which presses it in the direction of the gate support.
  • a continuing or increasing locking force is exerted on the pawl, which presses it in the direction of the support element. Moving the pawl out of the mechanical lock with the support element is reliably avoided.
  • a drive force of the drive device acts on the lifting gate or the gate carrier, in the sense of a vertical movement, in particular downward movement, of the lifting gate or gate carrier, then the gate carrier is removed from the stop element, which initially with the spring force of the spring / spring combination between the gate carrier and stop element against the stop is pressed and remains there, and the guide pivots the pawl back out of its locking engagement with the support member.
  • the mechanical locking between the latch and the support element is canceled and the gate support or the lifting gate can, as desired, in particular be moved downwards.
  • a resiliently mounted stop enables the gate support or the lifting gate to move a predetermined further distance in the direction of the stop even if the stop element has already hit the stop and has moved relatively in the direction of the gate carrier so that the pawl locks with the support element can, because then the stop yields elastically due to its resilient suspension.
  • the secure locking between pawl and support element is not disturbed by this, however, and damage to the drive device, for example a chain drive or belt drive, is prevented.
  • the risk of the stop element or the stop being damaged is also minimized.
  • a fall protection device with a mechanical locking device 1 is shown, which comprises a gate carrier 2 that can be moved in a vertical direction Z and a support element 3 that is stationary in the vertical direction Z.
  • the gate support 2 can be brought into mechanically locked engagement with the support element 3.
  • the locking device 1 further comprises a pawl 4 which is connected to the gate support 2 and which can be pivoted into mechanically locked engagement with the support element 3.
  • the pawl 4 comprises a bolt 4.2 which can be hooked into a mouth 3.2 or a recess in the support element 3.
  • a stop element 5 is resiliently mounted on the gate support 2 and has a guide 6 in which the pawl 4 is guided in such a way that it is pivoted in the direction of the support element 3 when the stop element 5 is deflected in the direction of the gate support 2.
  • the guide 6 comprises a link 6.1 with which a sliding block 8 connected to the pawl 4 engages in order to force the pivoting movement of the pawl 4 when the stop element 5 is moved towards the gate support 2.
  • the gate carrier 2 is slidably mounted together with a lifting gate 10, the upper end of which forms the gate carrier 2 or at the upper end of which the gate carrier 2 is connected, in two lateral gate guides 13 which are located in the Vertical direction Z extend.
  • a stop 7 is provided at the upper end of the lateral door guides 13, against which the stop element 5 strikes when the lifting door 10 or the door support 2 moves into its upper end position.
  • the stop element 5 When moving towards the end position, the stop element 5 first strikes the stop 7 and is thereby stopped in its movement in the vertical direction Z, whereas the gate carrier 2, which is driven, is moved further upwards in the vertical direction Z.
  • the stop element 5 springs against the force of the at least one compression spring 9, with which it is mounted on the gate support 2, in the direction of the gate support 2.
  • the gate 6.1 forces the sliding block 8 in a direction transverse to the vertical direction Z to the outside.
  • the pawl 4 is pivoted outwards in the direction of the support element 3 and brought with its bolt 4.2 into an area above the mouth 3.2 in the support element 3 or inserted directly into the mouth 3.2.
  • the drive device not shown here is switched off and the lifting gate 10 or the gate support 2 is in its upper end position.
  • the lifting gate 10 or the gate support 2 is held in the upper end position by the drive device because the drive device has a corresponding self-locking.
  • this self-locking is generally not large enough to support a comparatively large downward force that is exerted on the lifting gate 10.
  • Such a comparatively large force can be exerted, for example, by a robotic arm striking the gate support 2 or the stop element 5 from above, and without the fall protection, the lifting gate 10 would be knocked down.
  • the pawl 4 is articulated about the axis of rotation Y on the gate support 2 so that it executes a pure rotary movement.
  • a different mounting could also be provided.
  • the stop 7 is formed by a component resiliently mounted in the vertical direction Z, here a rubber buffer.
  • a component resiliently mounted in the vertical direction Z here a rubber buffer.
  • the stop compression spring 7.1 has a greater spring force than the compression spring 9 in order to ensure that the compression spring 9 first compresses before the stop compression spring 7.1 compresses.
  • a lifting gate 10 is shown as an example, which comprises, for example, several gate fields 11 that can be pushed one behind the other.
  • a drive device 12 acts on the lifting gate 10, for example in the form of a belt drive or chain drive.
  • Components of the mechanical locking device 1 are also shown by way of example.
