Definitions

  • the invention relates to standardized freight units (ULD), in particular for air cargo.
  • Air freight (depending on the aircraft to be loaded, standardized
  • Container provided) is currently. processed in large uniform loading units that can have different weights.
  • Detectors, fast conveyors, etc. are handled faster and less expensive in view of the seizure of the same and are also transferred to appropriate bearings, while the systems are designed for heavier pieces slower and for lower capacity.
  • ULDs There are two types of ULDs: pallets and containers:
  • ULD pallets are sheets of sheet aluminum with a substructure made of profiles whose edges are designed so that the loops of freight nets can snap into place after the loose goods have been placed on them.
  • ULD containers are closed containers - currently. made of aluminum sheets with profile frame or a combination of aluminum (frame) and plastic (walls). These can, depending on the nature of the goods contained therein, also have built-in cooling units.
  • Typical air freight has a weight of 0 to 6.8 t and is transported in these size-standardized loading units, so-called ULD.
  • ULD size-standardized loading units
  • Their use means that fewer units need to be loaded and they save ground handling personnel, time and effort for the handling companies.
  • individual containers are loaded with ballast to certain places to trim the aircraft.
  • Standard pallets which are brought into or unloaded from the aircraft. These are currently available. up to about 6 mx 2.5 m in size as aluminum plates with grommets for packing nets to fix the goods collected on them. Standard pallets have the disadvantage that these pieces of cargo broken up during reloading and reassembled by destination or be recounted and thus cause high manual handling costs - it also causes damage and losses that regularly to large Compensation payments.
  • Receivers are delivered and loading units that are opened, whose content is sorted by destination and distributed and reassembled into new loading units.
  • freight units or load units distributed by destination have about 30% load units - ie those that are sent without opening from one location to the final destination and about 70% so-called break units - these are containers or pallets with packing nets, which are opened in one place, the individual pieces sorted by destination and new freight units with new ones
  • the cold chain is interrupted by the mandatory breaking up and examining the shipment at each re-loading with appropriate delays and possible damage to the shipment.
  • the invention thus relates to a loading unit for freight, in particular air freight; comprising: - a plurality of subunits corresponding to a standardized outer shape when assembled; and - fastening means for releasably securing the subunits to each other; and - identification devices at each one
  • Subunit which are readable in the assembled state and on the subunit alone.
  • the assembled cargo unit is releasably attached to a detachable aircraft mounting plate.
  • Aircraft mounting plates are necessary because the ULDs are locked against slipping on the aircraft and are normalized.
  • the subunits themselves can also be equipped differently - for example, with an insulating layer for thermally sensitive goods or possibly with sealing layers for liquid goods or electrically insulating layers against electrosmog.
  • an insulating layer for thermally sensitive goods or possibly with sealing layers for liquid goods or electrically insulating layers against electrosmog.
  • the smaller subunits according to the invention can at least partially produce these from plastic and / or plastic composites, such as fiber-reinforced plastic, polycarbonate, composites, polyolefins, recycled plastics, which are preferably flame-retardant.
  • plastic and / or plastic composites such as fiber-reinforced plastic, polycarbonate, composites, polyolefins, recycled plastics, which are preferably flame-retardant.
  • plastics can be easily formed and, for example. With depressions / surveys for positive engagement of the container to each other; Windows are provided for cargo identification etc. Plastic containers also have the advantage of being lighter and less prone to deformation.
  • identification units - in particular for the individual subunits are, for example, barcode strips in protected sections of the (outer) walls of the units or RFIDs. Through these identification units is an automatic sorting; Recomposing and sending the relatively easy-to-use subunits without human intervention possible.
  • module-like cargo loading unit For the necessary transport of the module-like cargo loading unit can be attached as a transport aid eyelets on the subunit top, can engage in the hoists.
  • the subunits are designed from the outside geometry to be assembled into a standardized loading unit in accordance with the aviation cargo conventions, secured together with interlocking units and assembled into a normal ULD and then processed in conventional equipment.
  • the individual sub-units can be rented or leased separately, thus enabling a better and more ecologically sensible use of the cargo space occupied by containers.
  • Such ULDs with subunits can now also be controlled in a manner similar to pallet loading units when transhipping airfreight and controlled completely automatically by robots via the readable identification devices, and the subunits can be assembled with those from other provinces to a new ULD and then sent to the new destination , This can be done without human intervention and the associated risks, and seamless freight monitoring is possible.
  • the bulk of the load will be lighter, smaller, for lighter weights designed plant - for example, with bearings, can be used, while the rare occurring large air cargo pieces with, for example.
  • Over 6 m 3 content in a for low throughput Chevron Phillips Chemical Company
  • One advantage is that, if lighter weights and smaller dimensions are transported, much simpler, faster and more economical solutions for such cargo will be used.
  • subunits can be closed so that they do not have to be opened in accordance with international regulations and thus eliminates the time-consuming controls whereby the shipment reaches the destination safely and handling costs can be saved.
  • the safety aspect is that shipments that are no longer opened are considerably safer than those that are opened, as never a manipulation of the contents can be completely excluded - apart from a microorganism contamination of the same or its contents.
  • air freight units with sub-units can now be identified, possibly disassembled, by means of a barcode or other inscription / RFID or the like, in which case the overwhelming amount of "smaller" subunits with a favorable and high
  • the invention avoids the disadvantages of the previous handling of volume standardization of air cargo.
  • Advantages are also in a simplification by lighter equipment, halved load capacities of (intermediate) warehouses and mean significantly lower investment and more economical operation of the air freight processing, with energy saved and in an environmentally friendly manner Over-dimensioning can be reduced with significantly reduced staff costs and improved safety.
  • the invention can be implemented in both new and to be built or to be extended cargo terminals.
  • Handling system with bearings, sorting units, assembly units, etc. can be constructed .. For the air transport itself between loading and unloading nothing changes.
