    [0001] Dock security for blocking access to a loading-unloading station, docking station and distribution center equipped with same, and corresponding method The present invention relates to a platform safety for blocking access to a loading-unloading station, which is also referred to as a docking station. These stations are often used in distribution centers that receive and ship loads, including packages, parcels, consumer products and finished products. Such distribution centers include at least one dock or berth, designed to receive a truck or trailer or container or other mobile crate for loading and / or unloading. Such a dock or docking station includes so-called autodock systems, and often dock levelers, dock shelters and their components. Often wharves or berths face unauthorized access to the berth. Such unauthorized access may relate to theft and / or vandalism resulting in damage to the wharf or docking station. In addition, this unauthorized access may also cause damage or loss of goods to containers or swap bodies that are positioned on the access road in front of a docking station or dock.
    [0002] An object of the invention is to prevent or at least reduce some of the above problems. This object is realized with a platform security for blocking access to a loading-unloading station according to the invention, the platform safety comprising: a guide rail disposed along an access path; a carriage guided by the guide rail and provided with a locking member for releasably locking the carriage with respect to the guide rail; displacement means adapted for moving the carriage along the guide rail; a security element which is connected to the carriage to allow movement along the guide rail, the security element being adapted to prevent an unauthorized vehicle from accessing the access path to the station; and a security enhancer configured to activate and / or deactivate the security element.
    [0003] According to the invention, the terms loading-unloading station, dock, autodock and docking station are used interchangeably. A dock may be provided with a dock shelter and / or a dock leveler, and possibly also with a vehicle restraint system designed to block a vehicle that is parked on the track. dock access for loading / unloading the vehicle. Such vehicle restraint systems are known. These restraint systems only work when a vehicle is parked against the dock. As a result, these restraint systems do not prevent access to the wharf accessway and / or objects such as a container or other swap body that are parked on the wharf access road. A guide rail according to the invention is for example arranged along an access way, inter alia, a loading-unloading station for example a distribution center, where a container, a moving body or a truck is parked along the guide rail for loading and unloading purposes. The platform safety is provided with a carriage which can move relative to the guide rail such that the carriage can be positioned at the desired location along the guide rail. Provided on or attached to the carriage is a locking member with which the carriage can be removably locked relative to the guide rail. The locking element preferably engages directly on the guide rail. However, the locking element can also engage for example on a floor surface on which the guide rail is placed. In this way, the carriage is also locked (indirectly) with respect to the guide rail.
    [0004] In the event that a container or moving body is positioned on the platform access road, the platform safety is able to prevent an unauthorized vehicle from accessing this container or mobile body. This prevents such an unauthorized vehicle from picking up the container or moving body, including goods outside the container or moving body, such as palletized goods. This blocking of the entry / access of the docking security makes it possible to reduce the costs related to the damage and / or the theft of goods on a container or a moving body positioned in front of a docking station. By allowing a security element to move along a guide rail in connection with the carriage, the security element can be positioned in any desired position along the guide rail disposed along the rail. an access road. This allows the correct and optimal positioning of the security element with respect to a container or moving body to prevent, for example, unauthorized access and / or removal with an unauthorized vehicle. By using the moving means, the carriage can be moved from a first idle / idle position, in which access to the access path is permitted, to a second lock / safety position in which it is possible after locking the carriage with respect to the guide rail, preventing unauthorized entry / access to the access road and any objects parked on the access road. In one embodiment according to the present invention, the moving means comprises a hydraulic cylinder forming part of a hydraulic drive for moving the carriage. It will be understood that other drives may also be used in the moving means according to the present invention. Locking of the security element holds the security element stationary in the desired position. The displacement means also allow a movement in the opposite direction of the carriage after unlocking in the second safety position, such that the carriage returns to its first rest position. In this rest position, a vehicle can access the access path to pick up an object, such as a container or moving body, and remove it from the docking station. In the (second) safety position, the security element, or elements, which are connected to the carriage which is guided by the guide rail, preferably engage the object, such as a container or a mobile cash register In the case of a container or moving body, the security element is positioned to prevent withdrawal of the container or moving body. The security element preferably has the form of a kind of rod or bar extending substantially in a direction which deviates from the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. This provides an effective means to prevent unauthorized access to a dock access road. The dock security according to the present invention is provided with a safety actuator which is adapted to activate and / or deactivate the security element. This actuator can be controlled manually, semi-automatically or automatically, for example by a dock controller. The safety actuator can act in response to a signal from an operator and / or a controller that authorizes a vehicle to access for example the access path associated with a specific docking station. In a presently preferred embodiment of the present invention, dock security further comprises a sensor which is configured to detect the presence of a container, moving body or other object along the track. access to a pier. Transmitting a sensor signal provides information on the presence of a container, moving body, or other available object. Based on this information, dock safety can activate and / or deactivate the safety element using the safety actuator. This allows semi-automatic or automatic control of the dock safety (s).
    [0005] Preferably, the dock security comprises a security controller which is configured to determine the activation or deactivation of the security element in response to a sensor signal transmitted by the sensor. This makes fully automatic control of dock safety and access to the access lane of a docking station possible. The safety controller can act as or be part of a dock controller and / or be connected to a separate shore controller. Such a wharf controller may be used to control one or more docks at a distribution center, including wharf security for an individual wharf and / or wharf security at a number of 10 wharves. The dock controller may be centrally installed for a number of platforms, preferably in a central location of the distribution center from which the controller may be operated. This central controller position allows the use of a dock controller for a number of platforms. Alternatively, or in addition to this, a dock controller is provided for an individual dock.
    [0006] The safety controller and / or the wharf controller communicate with the safety actuator using wired or preferably wireless communication, typically one or more transmitters and / or receivers. The safety controller / wharf preferably receives information from one or more sensors and is configured to monitor the state of the wharf access lane and / or the wharf security.
    [0007] The use of the presently preferred wireless communication allows optimal use of the flexibility of the dock (s). The wireless communication means known as such are generally based on the use of electromagnetic radiation, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The system can also use an ultra wideband (UWB) transmission.
    [0008] In another preferred embodiment according to the present invention, the platform safety further comprises a vehicle identification system. The provision of a vehicle identification system allows the identification of a vehicle that intends or requests access to the access path associated with a specific dock. Such an identification system may include a camera system 30 capable of identifying a vehicle. Such identification can take place, for example, using the number plate numbers that are on an individual vehicle. The provision of an identification system or device enables the wharf user to identify himself to the safety controller / wharf and to access the wharf access lane to dock and / or maintenance or repair work. The identification in one of the presently preferred embodiments is provided with an ID reader adapted to operate with an ID key, an ID card, a confidential digital code, a digital signature, a fingerprint or other means. biometric, voice command, password, etc. This allows the identification of the driver of the vehicle and / or the wharf operator. In a presently preferred embodiment, dock security includes an authorization system that is configured to allow or deny access to the access path in response to a request that is directly or indirectly received from a vehicle. Such an authorization system allows the automatic monitoring and control of the process of docking a vehicle and / or the removal and / or deposit of an object such as a container or moving body on the track. associated access to a specific dock. The authorization signal according to the invention is configured to provide an authorization signal preferably to the safety controller or the wharf controller, thereby authorizing or denying the use of the access path associated with a specific wharf. In a presently preferred embodiment, the authorization signal accesses a release signal to release the platform access path as soon as its intended use and / or removal of a container, moving body, a truck or trailer has been authorized by a (central) controller or a competent officer. The safety / shore controller can also indicate when dock safety needs maintenance or repair. This increases the security of the dock and the distribution center and significantly reduces the downtime of a dock that is equipped with such dock security so that logistic operations are not unnecessarily disrupted. It also allows you to monitor and record incidents and accidents related to the access path of a specific dock. In a presently preferred embodiment, the dock security comprises a network interface unit comprising a network transmitter and / or a network receiver, configured for communication with a central controller. This allows for wired or wireless communication between the platform security, the safety controller / platform and a central controller, for example from an external (enterprise) network. Such an external network may comprise one or more of the following elements: service and maintenance network of the platforms, accounting network of the distribution center where the platform is located.
    [0009] 30 The communication may relate to one or more of the following: information on the activities to be performed with a container, swap body, truck or trailer on the platform, tasks, wharf safety information, service and maintenance information, software updates, usage data, authorization and identification data. This data may be shared with the parties concerned, provided that safety precautions have been taken. Such parts may include, for example, maintenance companies, management. This may also include remote reading of camera data from the dock or premises. Information on scheduled loading and / or unloading activities for a specific dock may be useful to an operator and / or truck driver. Tasks can refer to information on work scheduling or work orders, detailed ordering information, time budget and / or recording of working hours associated with a dock. This information may be provided by a server with a storage capacity capable of storing relevant information and / or may be provided to such a server by the security controller / platform. The safety information relates to the provision of information on safety measures relating to dock safety. Additionally or alternatively, this information may refer to the sending of warning signals and / or warning records to a server with a storage capacity capable of storing relevant information. The service, repair and maintenance indication relates to the storage of wharf usage data and wharf security and to the provision of a service indication after a number of wharf operations and / or or after a given time interval to the operator and / or maintenance employees. In a presently preferred embodiment, the safety controller / wharf transmits a service message to maintenance employees via the network interface unit. The maintenance employees may involve a maintenance company and / or a manufacturer of docking systems according to the invention.
    [0010] Software updates are enabled through the network interface unit by externally providing update information from a server to the security controller / platform. The security controller / dock receives the update to improve the operation of the docking security, allowing for remote software update.
    [0011] The usage data relate to the data relating to the use of dock safety. The use is provided to a server by a network interface unit. This allows the use of a "pay per wharf" system in which the user of a wharf pays for the wharf according to the use thereof. Authorization and identification data refers to data that allows a specific user to start using the dock. For example, a user identifies with one of the platforms through an interface unit. In a preferred embodiment, these identification data are communicated via the safety controller / platform and a network interface unit to an external network. In case the user is not allowed to use the access route of a platform access, the platform can be blocked by sending a corresponding command to the safety controller / platform.
    [0012] In case the user is authorized to use the platform access road, an authorization signal indicating a release or release command is communicated to the safety controller / platform and the user can start using the channel. dock access, for example involving removal and / or deposit of a container or moving body.
    [0013] Optionally, the authorization system and / or the vehicle identification system is used for recognition of the vehicle so that the operating costs of the use of the dock can be connected to a specific vehicle. For example, this recognition of a specific vehicle can be achieved by the license plate number that can be recognized by the camera. For example, the authorization system generates an authorization signal including a release signal after receiving the payment for performing the necessary docking operations. This payment can be received by means of a prepaid card which is presented directly to the wharf and / or the authorization system. On the other hand, the authorization system may send a signal and collect data so that debit information can be provided to the accounting / billing department and / or to directly debit the customer. This makes it possible to directly connect the operation of the platform to the (final) user. This makes it possible to control the costs of using the access way and / or the platform according to the present invention. Furthermore, this offers the opportunity and the possibility of a leasing or operating lease of the wharf according to the present invention and a payment for a specific use of the wharf as an alternative to or in addition to the payment. for the quay as such. In a presently preferred embodiment according to the invention, the drive comprises a flexible element. By providing a flexible element, and in particular a steel cable, a flexible drive is obtained where it is possible to incorporate the drive into the guide rail. The flexible drive can be used as an alternative to a (fully) hydraulic drive. The use of a flexible drive according to one embodiment of the invention provides an effective and safe device. In addition, the at least partial incorporation of the drive into the guide rail prevents dirt from accumulating in the drive and disturbs the operation of the drive. Because of the flexible nature, it is possible to use rolling wheels or reversing wheels in the device. In case a steel cable is provided, it can be incorporated for example in the guide rail in a number of paths or returns using such wheels or reversing wheels. The advantage is that there is no need for chain, chain drive or gear wheels, which are relatively expensive, susceptible to fouling and therefore require maintenance. Another advantage is to be able to provide a compact drive in a relatively simple and efficient manner. By providing the drive as a pulley construction using the running wheels or the reversing wheels for example in the guide rail, the return that the carriage can make can be increased relatively simply. 2: 1, 3: 1 or 4: 1 ratios can be obtained here relatively simply. These ratios represent the distance traveled by the carriage on the guide rail, which is for example 3 to 4 meters, relative to the return that the carriage must perform with the drive and which can be limited for example to 1 meter because the action of the pulley as described above. In a presently preferred embodiment, the platform safety further comprises height adjustment means which are adapted to adjust the height of the guide rail and / or the safety element. By further providing height adjustment means, the guide rail 20 and / or the security element can be adjusted in height during use. The adjustment of the height of the guide rail causes the guide rail, and the locking means directly or indirectly connected thereto, to be adjusted in height with respect to the ground surface, and therefore with respect to the vehicle. . Alternatively or additionally, the height adjustment means can also directly adjust the height of the locking means. Here, for example, it is possible to use a substantially vertical and / or rotational movement of the safety element with respect to the guide rail arranged for example in a fixed manner. The safety element can for example be hydraulically adjusted to the appropriate height by means of height adjustment. In such an embodiment, the guide rail may be fixed, if necessary, in a fixed manner. It would in principle be possible in such an embodiment to possibly pass a guide rail, although this will have drawbacks as to the positioning of the vehicle and / or the security element. Alternatively or additionally, the guide rail may be adjusted in height over a range (pre) determined continuously or discontinuously (for example using bolts and a predetermined hole pattern).
    [0014] By providing means for adjusting the height, the security element can engage at the desired height on the container, mobile body or other object placed on the access path of a platform. The height adjustment means are adapted here to the object. This can be done manually by a driver and / or a site manager, for example an employee of the distribution center, as well as automatically. The engagement height of the security element is thus adapted to the type of vehicle. This increases the possible uses of the device according to the invention. It is also possible to adapt the actual engagement height of the security element to the blocking condition. This improves the applicability and possible uses of the device according to the invention. In another advantageous embodiment according to the present invention, the system further comprises a mode selector configured to allow selection of at least one access blocking mode to block access to the access path of a dock, and a vehicle blocking mode in which a vehicle at the dock is blocked against unauthorized departure from the dock access road. The provision of a mode selector allows the user of the wharf controller to choose between an object blocking mode in which access to the access path and / or any other object positioned in that pathway. access is blocked, and a vehicle blocking mode in which a vehicle is blocked against a departure from the dock. Preferably, in this blocking mode, the security element engages the truck wheel. In this blocking mode, the security element can function as a truck lock device as disclosed for example in EP0684916 or EP2371745. In another advantageous embodiment according to the present invention, the system further comprises a docking assistance system, designed to assist the user of an access road and / or a platform. The assistance system provides assistance to the truck and / or truck driver when removing or depositing a container, swap body or other object, or when docking and / or departure from the wharf. Such docking assistance system preferably includes a camera for determining the position of the truck 30 relative to the dock. Eventually, the camera data is recorded to determine the cause of damage to the truck and / or dock. In addition, the docking assistance system can monitor the position of the truck with respect to a locking system which is described above. Information and / or guidance instructions for the truck and for the truck driver can be provided by means of sounds and / or signals such as traffic lights, for example including LEDs, which are located on or near dock or locking system.
    [0015] Alternatively, or in addition to this, the dock may be provided with a projector to project signs to the ground surface as indications for the truck driver, for example green arrows indicating ok towards the dock in this direction. and a red stop signal to stop the docking process. This can improve the safety of the docking operation and reduce the risk of damage to the dock, the docking system and other elements of the distribution center or the truck. The invention also relates to a docking station and / or a distribution center comprising a platform safety as described above. The same effects and advantages apply to the docking station and / or distribution center as described for dock safety. The invention furthermore relates to the method for securing an access route of a loading-unloading station, comprising the following steps: providing a platform safety as described above; and - blocking and / or releasing access to the access path.
    [0016] The same effects and benefits apply to the method as described for dock safety and / or distribution center and docking station. This method provides additional security at the docking station and optimizes maintenance and repair. In a presently preferred embodiment according to the present invention, the method comprises a selection with a mode selector between at least one access blocking mode for blocking access to the access path of a platform, and a vehicle blocking mode in which a vehicle at the dock is blocked against an unauthorized departure from the platform access road. This provides additional flexibility to the platform safety according to the invention by allowing use as a blocking means for accessing an access path and / or the container or moving body therein, and as locking means for blocking a vehicle and preventing it from leaving the dock where it is parked. This makes the dock equipped with such a docking safety that can be used for many purposes. In a presently preferred embodiment of the invention, access to the access path is released upon receipt of an authorization signal in response to an access request from a vehicle. This allows a "pay per wharf" system for use of the access road and / or wharf. Other advantages, features and details of the invention are explained on the basis of preferred embodiments thereof, wherein reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIGS. 1A-C show a safety of platform with moving body according to the present invention; Figures 2A-B show an alternative embodiment with height adjustment means; Figures 3A-C show the platform safety of Figure 1 with truck and swap body; Figs. 4A-C show the platform safety of Fig. 1 with truck; and Fig. 5 shows a platform safety according to the invention with a platform assistance system.

On the platform side of the guide rail 14 is provided the support 25 and the opposite side is provided the support 26. A locking mechanism 28 locks the carriage 16 on the guide rail 14. For example, the locking mechanism 28 can be represented similarly to the lock mechanism e illustrated in EP0684915 or EP2371745 the contents of which are incorporated by reference in the present description. The connection element 30 connects the platform security 2 to the connection 24 of the platform 4. The mobile box 8 rests on legs 32 on the ground 34. The guide element 20 prevents a truck from passing under the mobile body 8 to remove the case 8 unless authorized to do so.
    [0017] In an alternative embodiment, a platform security 2 is equipped with height adjustment means 36 (FIGS. 2A-B) for adjusting the height of the platform safety 2. One of the ends of the safety platform 2 at the support 25 is equipped with a first articulation 38, a second articulation 40 and an arm 42 which responds to the drive 44 and pivots in a direction B to adjust the height. On the opposite side, height adjusting means 46 are provided, for example in the form of a cylinder 46. It will be understood that other embodiments for height adjustment are also possible according to the invention. . The platform security 2 (FIGS. 3A-C) prevents access to the access path 12 or allows access to it. For example, access may be allowed to the truck 48 to remove the swap body 8.
    [0018] In a blocking mode, a truck 50 (FIGS. 4A-C) can be blocked against unauthorized departure from an access lane 12 with a platform security 2. This allows a dual mode, the first mode preventing unauthorized access to the access lane 12, and a second blocking mode blocking a vehicle that is positioned on the access lane 12.
    [0019] A distribution center 102 (FIG. 5) comprises a number of wharves or docking stations 104 equipped in the illustrated embodiment of a shelter 106, a door 108, a sealing chamber 110, a barrier 112 and a bumper 114. In the embodiment shown, the platform 104 also includes a dock leveler 116. The dock leveler 116 is equipped with a load cell 118 for weighing the loads that are loaded and / or unloaded. , and a position sensor 120 for measuring the (angular) position of the leveler 116. The door 108 is equipped with one or more door position sensors 122 for detecting the position of the door 108. A barrier 112 is provided with a state sensor 124. In the embodiment shown, the platform 104 is equipped with a platform security system 126 which comprises a guide rail 128, a carriage 130 guided by the guide rail 128 and equipped with locking means 132 for locking the wheel 134 of the truck 136, or preventing access to the access path, a locking member 138 mounted on a carriage 130 for releasably locking the carriage 130 relative to the guide rail 128 , moving means 140 for moving the carriage 130, and a latch system status sensor 141. In the illustrated embodiment, LED lights 142 of the docking assist system. of the truck 144 assist a truck driver 136 when docking the truck 136. Still in the embodiment shown, the assistance system 144 further comprises a camera 146 for the detection of the positions of the truck, a traffic light. signaling 148 to further assist the truck driver 136, and a projector 147 for projecting signals, such as arrows 149, to the ground surface for assistance of the truck driver. The camera 151 is advantageously controlled remotely and used for the identification / recognition of the truck 136 at the entrance to the distribution center 102. When the truck 136 has been identified, the driver receives a message or signals. instructing him to direct truck 136 to dock 104 assigned. This significantly improves the docking process. The platform security 2 receives an authorization signal from the assistance system 144 to allow access to the access lane or to release the wheel 134. This signal is emitted in response to a request, for example from the lorry 136. enter or leave the access path, provided that such a request can be authorized by the assistance system 144, or else by an operator and / or other external decision system. The authorization signal causes the platform security 2, 126 to remove the security element 20, 138. In addition to its preferred use in the assistance system 144, the camera 146 monitors a part of the vicinity of the platform 104 and / or monitors the interior of the dock area. On the other hand, the camera 146 may be used to identify the truck 136, in a presently preferred embodiment by license plate recognition. Alternatively, a separate camera system is provided for identification purposes. Optionally, the camera 146, 151, provides information on the type of vehicle, such as a truck 136, to the controller 150 enabling the controller 150 to adjust the parameters of the wharf elements, such as the leveler 116, the means height adjustment 36 and / or using vehicle-specific information to charge the user of the platform 104 for the docking operation that has been performed. Optionally, the camera 146 detects the registration of the vehicle, for example by the license plates, possibly supplying the relevant information to the accounting department, so that the owner of the vehicle can be charged for the actual operation (s). (s) docking. In addition, by monitoring the use of the wharf elements, such as platform security 126, the system is able to provide information on the frequency and conditions of use of the wharf elements. The user, for example the owner of the vehicle, can be charged on the basis of the actual use. Such an option could be interesting also when the docking equipment is leased / leased. In such a case, the system may communicate with an external network / system to allow, for example, the owner of the equipment to monitor and / or debit the user or other party based on actual usage.
    [0020] The operation of the platform security 2, 126 will be illustrated by an example. The swap body 8 is required at the opening 6 of the platform 4. The truck 48 engages the access lane 12 with the platform security 12 authorizing access to the access lane 12 in a blocking mode. access. The truck 48 deposits the mobile body 8 and leaves the access road 12. This dock security 2 in the access blocking mode then positions the security element 20 with respect to the mobile body 8 so that no truck 48 can withdraw the swap body 8 since access to the access lane 12 is blocked. As soon as the mobile body 8 can be moved, for example when the goods have been loaded and / or unloaded, the truck 48 can pick up the swap body 8. In this case, as soon as the truck 48 is close to the lane 12, a request may be addressed, for example, to the platform assistance system 144 or to an operator. When it is valid, such a request may be authorized and the authorization signal 3022536 14 transmitted to the platform security 2 so that the security element 20 is removed and access to the access path 12 is allowed so that the swap body 8 can be picked up by the truck 48 and removed from the platform 4. In a variant of the locking mode of the vehicle, the security element 20 5 engages the wheel 134 of the truck 50 136, and blocks the truck against an unauthorized departure of the access lane 12. Similarly, the truck 50, 136, may request authorization to leave the access lane 12 after which the assistance system 144 and / or an operator can access such a request and allow the platform security 2, 126 to remove the security element 20 so that the truck 50, 136, can leave the access channel 12. With the use of the assistance system 144 or other control system, the safety of platform 2, 126 can be switched to the different modes. The present invention is in no way limited to the preferred embodiments described above thereof.
