Abstract

A transport vehicle for containers, in particular a floor-bound and driverless heavy-load transport vehicle for ISO containers, has a platform for receiving at least one container to be transported, with the platform being delimited by guide elements for guiding a container when being deposited on the platform, and includes a drive unit and a battery module for supplying electric energy to the drive unit. The battery module has a support frame and a battery, with there being at least one air conditioner device arranged in the support frame together with the battery.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A transport vehicle comprising a floor-bound and driverless heavy-duty transport vehicle for ISO containers, the transport vehicle having a platform for receiving at least one container to be transported, which platform is delimited by guide elements for guiding a container as it is being set down on the platform, and having a drive unit and a battery module for supplying electrical energy to the drive unit, wherein the battery module comprises a support frame and a battery, and wherein the battery is designed as a lithium-ion battery and at least one air-conditioner device and a management system for the battery are disposed in the support frame in addition to the battery.

2. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a fire-extinguishing system is additionally disposed in the support frame.

3. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fire-extinguishing system is a CO 2 fire-extinguishing system.

4. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support frame is self-supporting.

5. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the battery supplies the air-conditioner device with electrical energy.

6. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the battery module is releasably connected to the transport vehicle, for the purpose of a change for at least one of the maintaining or the charging of the battery outside the transport vehicle.

7. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the battery module is movable into and out of the transport vehicle transversely to the longitudinal direction of the transport vehicle.

8. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the battery module is suspended during operation in an installation space of the transport vehicle, which is open in the downwards direction and on at least one side.

9. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the battery supplies at least one of the fire extinguishing system and the management system with electrical energy.

10. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the support frame is self-supporting.

11. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the fire-extinguishing system is a CO 2 fire-extinguishing system.

12. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the battery supplies the air-conditioner device with electrical energy, and wherein the battery supplies at least one of the fire extinguishing system and the management system with electrical energy.

13. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the battery module is releasably connected to the transport vehicle, for the purpose of a change for at least one of the maintaining or the charging of the battery outside the transport vehicle.

14. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the battery module can be moved into and out of the transport vehicle transversely to the longitudinal direction of the transport vehicle.

15. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the battery module is suspended during operation in an installation space of the transport vehicle, which is open in the downwards direction and on at least one side.

16. A transport vehicle comprising a floor-bound and driverless heavy-duty transport vehicle for ISO containers, the transport vehicle having a platform for receiving at least one container to be transported, which platform is delimited by guide elements for guiding a container as it is being set down on the platform, and having a drive unit and a battery module for supplying electrical energy to the drive unit, wherein the battery module comprises a support frame and a battery, and wherein the battery is designed as a lithium-ion battery and at least one air-conditioner device and a management system for the battery are disposed in the support frame in addition to the battery, wherein the support frame is self-supporting and the battery module is releasably connected to the transport vehicle.

17. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 16 , wherein a fire-extinguishing system is additionally disposed in the support frame.

18. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the battery supplies the air-conditioner device with electrical energy.

19. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the battery module can be moved into and out of the transport vehicle transversely to the longitudinal direction of the transport vehicle.

20. The transport vehicle as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the battery module is suspended during operation in an installation space of the transport vehicle, which is open in the downwards direction and on at least one side.
