Abstract

The present invention relates to a roll-off transport device, particularly a roll-off tipper, comprising a bottom structure, a connecting structure which is connected, particularly rigidly, to the bottom structure on the face side and protrudes upwardly therefrom, and a loading arm connection arranged on the connecting structure for the loading arm of a swap body vehicle. The present invention also relates to a transport unit comprising a swap body vehicle and a roll-off transport device according to the present invention.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A roll-off transport device, comprising:
a bottom structure;
a connecting structure connected to the bottom structure on a face side and protruding upwardly therefrom; and
a loading arm connection arranged on the connecting structure for a loading arm of a swap body vehicle,
wherein the loading arm connection is connected to the connecting structure via a pivot joint and is rotatable relative to the connecting structure at least about a vertical rotation axis (D) within a range of rotation during use of the loading arm connection when connected to the loading arm of the swap body vehicle during a loading operation.

2. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bottom structure comprises at least one of the following features:
the bottom structure comprises a support frame with longitudinal and/or transverse struts;
the bottom structure comprises a bottom surface which is configured as a continuous surface;
the bottom structure has a rectangular shape; and
at least one ground roller is arranged in the area of a face side located opposite the connecting structure.

3. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the connecting structure comprises at least one of the following features:
the connecting structure comprises at least one vertical strut and/or at least one transverse strut;
the connecting structure comprises a face wall which has a continuous surface;
the connecting structure comprises a pivot joint support on its upper end in the vertical direction;
the maximum extension of the connecting structure in the vertical direction is less than the longitudinal and transverse extension of the bottom structure in a horizontal plane; and
the connecting structure does not protrude over a vertically protruding face wall in the direction of the opposite face side of the bottom structure.

4. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pivot joint is designed such that the range of rotation is at least 180°.

5. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pivot joint comprises an outer joint sleeve and an inner component which is rotatable relative to the outer joint sleeve, a form fit device being present which restricts the maximum axial displacement of the inner component relative to the outer joint sleeve.

6. The roll-off transport device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the outer joint sleeve is permanently arranged on a support plate of the connecting structure.

7. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a contact area, which has a cylindrical shape and extends coaxially to the rotation axis (D) of the pivot joint, is provided between the outer joint sleeve and the inner component.

8. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the loading arm connection is a hook receptacle, said hook receptacle comprising merging jaws.

9. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the loading arm connection comprises a connecting arm protruding in the radial direction with respect to the rotation axis (D), on one end of which the hook receptacle is arranged, and on the other end of which an element of the pivot joint is arranged.

10. The roll-off transport device according to claim 9 ,
wherein the connecting arm comprises two longitudinal arms spaced from each other and an engaging pin connected to them on the front face.

11. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bottom structure comprises at least one guide rail, with which a path of movement is achieved for a transport object.

12. The roll-off transport device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the transport object comprises a transport slide.

13. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bottom structure comprises a rotation device for a loaded transport object.

14. The roll-off transport device according to claim 13 ,
wherein the rotation device comprises a rotary plate.

15. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein an energy supply, is present.

16. The roll-off transport device according to claim 15 ,
wherein the energy supply is a battery.

17. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one drive-on ramp is arranged on the bottom structure, which drive-on ramp can be adjusted via a bearing device between a drive-on position and a stowage position.

18. The roll-off transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a support device is provided for a milling unit of a road milling machine.

19. A transport unit, comprising:
a swap body vehicle comprising a machine frame, travelling devices, a cab, a drive propulsion, and a loading arm which can be adjusted between a transport position and a loading/unloading position, the loading arm comprising a coupling device for the loading arm connection of a roll-off transport device; and
a roll-off transport device,
wherein the roll-off transport device is configured according to claim 1 .
