Lifting system for a semitrailer of an articulated lorry, logistics depot for a lorry fleet, as well as a logistics system
A lifting system for a semitrailer of an articulated lorry includes a lifting device where the semitrailer is adjustable by the lifting device in relation to a surface of a base element on which the semitrailer is positioned between a coupling position, in which a coupling element of the semitrailer is arranged at a coupling height above the surface of the base element, and a decoupling position, in which the coupling element is arranged at a decoupling height above the surface of the base element. The lifting device is associated with a surface segment of the base element where the surface segment is height-adjustable by the lifting device such that the semitrailer is adjustable between the coupling position and the decoupling position by an adjustment of the surface segment.
1 . A lifting system ( 1 ) for a semitrailer ( 5 ) of an articulated lorry ( 4 ), comprising:
a first lifting device ( 11 ), wherein the semitrailer ( 5 ) is adjustable by the first lifting device ( 11 ) in relation to a surface ( 7 ) of a base element ( 8 ) on which the semitrailer ( 5 ) is positioned between a coupling position, in which a coupling element ( 15 ) of the semitrailer ( 5 ) is arranged at a coupling height above the surface ( 7 ) of the base element ( 8 ), and a decoupling position, in which the coupling element ( 15 ) is arranged at a decoupling height above the surface ( 7 ) of the base element ( 8 );
wherein the first lifting device ( 11 ) is associated with a surface segment ( 10 ) of the base element ( 8 ) and wherein the surface segment ( 10 ) is height-adjustable by the first lifting device ( 11 ) such that the semitrailer ( 5 ) is adjustable between the coupling position and the decoupling position by an adjustment of the surface segment ( 10 ); and
a position sensor system ( 18 ), wherein a current position of a support assembly ( 12 ) of the semitrailer ( 5 ) is detectable in relation to the first lifting device ( 11 ) by the position sensor system ( 18 ) and wherein an adjustment of the first lifting device ( 11 ) is releasable and/or lockable by the lifting system ( 1 ) based on the current position of the support assembly ( 12 ) in relation to the first lifting device ( 11 ).
2 . The lifting system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the position sensor system ( 18 ) is arrangeable at least partially on an articulated-lorry cab ( 6 ) of the articulated lorry ( 4 ).
3 . The lifting system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the position sensor system ( 18 ) is arrangeable at least partially on the first lifting device ( 11 ).
4 . The lifting system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , further comprising a second lifting device ( 26 ), wherein the base element ( 8 ) is height-adjustable between a first road surface level ( 27 ) and a second road surface level ( 28 ) by the second lifting device ( 26 ).
5 . The lifting system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , further comprising a unit for providing signals ( 22 ), wherein a status signal ( 23 , 24 , 25 ) that characterizes a current status of the lifting system ( 1 ) is providable to an articulated-lorry cab ( 6 ) of the articulated lorry ( 4 ) by the unit for providing signals ( 22 ).
6 . A logistics operating facility ( 2 ) for a lorry fleet, comprising:
the lifting system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 .
7 . The logistics operating facility according to claim 6 , further comprising a first floor ( 29 ) and a second floor ( 30 ), wherein the lifting system ( 1 ) has a second lifting device ( 26 ) and wherein the base element ( 8 ) is adjustable between the first floor ( 29 ) and the second floor ( 30 ) by the second lifting device ( 26 ).
8 . The logistics operating facility ( 2 ) according to claim 7 , wherein a trailer vehicle ( 5 ) and a first towing vehicle ( 6 ) of the lorry fleet are decoupleable from each other by the first lifting device ( 11 ) on the first floor ( 29 ), wherein the trailer vehicle ( 5 ) is adjustable onto the second floor ( 30 ) by the second lifting device ( 26 ), wherein a second towing vehicle ( 33 ) and the trailer vehicle ( 5 ) are coupleable onto each other on the second floor ( 30 ), and wherein at least one of the first and second towing vehicles ( 6 ; 33 ) is only associated with the logistics operating facility ( 2 ).
9 . A logistics system ( 3 ), comprising:
a lorry fleet; and
a logistics operating facility ( 2 ), wherein the logistics operating facility ( 2 ) comprises the lifting system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 .
