0001 The invention concerns material transloading equipment according to the main concept of Claim 1. 0002 A generic material transloading equipment unit is already known from DE 199 09 356 A1. This equipment has an undercarriage and an upper carriage, directly connected with this undercarriage by means of a track ring, which contains a power unit and a counterweight, as well as a working unit housed in a equipment trestle and a driver's cab connected with the equipment trestle. The equipment trestle with driver's cab can be positioned on the upper carriage by means of an intermediate structure or a spacing structure, in such manner that the working unit is positioned at a greater distance from the ground on the material transloading equipment unit. 0003 In existing material transloading equipment, the kinematics of the boom is designed in such manner that the maximum possible load can be borne in the vicinity of the material transloading equipment unit. The problem that arises when the existing material transloading equipment is used for unloading ships, however, is that heavy loads must be borne over broad areas and under ground. 0004 It is therefore the task of the invention to improve on the generic material transloading equipment in such manner that in addition to the customary industrial use an optimum-performance use in the loading and unloading of ships can alternatively be facilitated. 0005 According to the invention, this task is performed by using the generic material transloading equipment in combination with the characteristic features of Claim 1. Accordingly, at least one additional pivot point is provided on the turntable and/or on the boom foot, so that the boom pivot point can be changed as desired. Additionally, at least one additional pivot point is provided on the boom or in a pivot plate on the boom, so that the pivot point of at least one hoisting cylinder can be changed as desired. Better load values are thereby obtained, on the one hand over larger areas and depths in the customary industrial use, and on the other hand in transloading goods during, for example, the loading and unloading of ships. By appropriate choice of the pivot, the maximum moment of the cylinder can be shifted from a comparatively steep setting angle of the boom to a flatter setting angle of the boom. This leads to a reduction of high loads in the vicinity of the equipment and to an increase in loads with large ranges and under ground. 0006 Preferred embodiments of the invention result from the sub-claims following the main claim. 0007 Consequently, the pivot points can be in openings in the turntable, so that the boom can be swivel-mounted on the turntable by means of bolts passing through the openings. In this construction form of the invention, the boom can be adapted to the chosen use of the material transloading equipment simply by adjusting the bolts. 0008 According to the invention, at least one hoisting cylinder is pivoted on the turntable on the one hand and on a pivot plate on the boom on the other hand, to raise and lower the boom. It is particularly advantageous to provide at least one additional pivot point on the pivot plate in addition to the customary pivot point, so that the pivot point of the hoisting cylinder can be changed at will. This also allows the setting angle of the boom at which the maximum moment is reached to be changed, while at the same time the overall pivot angle of the boom can remain constant. 0009 A particularly advantageous development of the invention results from the fact that the first and second pivot points for the boom and the pivot point for at least one hoisting cylinder are positioned in a bearing block that can be connected with the turntable. According to the invention, modular bearing blocks of various lengths can be provided so that the position of the individual pivot points in relation to the turntable can be varied by the choice of a bearing block. The result is numerous possibilities of kinematic variation. The use of these bearing blocks is particularly advantageous for transloading in the loading or unloading of ships, since, for example, a higher pivot of the boom and hence a flatter angle position in relation to the wall of the ship is thereby achieved. Boom and shaft can thus be shorter and lighter. Appropriate enhanced bearing blocks can also advantageously be used for scrap shear loading.

0017 FIG. 1 shows a portion of a transloading equipment unit having a turntable 12 on which a boom 14 is pivoted. In the embodiment illustrated here, boom 14 is composed of two boom arms 16 and 18, which in turn are pivot-mounted together on a pivot point 20, in which the two arms can be pivoted in relation to each other by means of a hydraulic cylinder arrangement not shown here in detail. Boom arm 16 is pivot-mounted by means of a bolt in an opening 22 in the turntable 12. Boom arm 16 is raised and lowered by means of a hoisting cylinder 24 fitted on the one hand into a pivot point 26 in Turntable 12 and on the other hand into a pivot point 28 on a pivot plate 30 attached to boom arm 16. Only one hoisting cylinder 24 is shown here in FIG. 1. However, the variant embodiment represented here has two hoisting cylinders that run parallel to each other. FIG. 1 illustrates the customary industrial kinematics, in which the maximum moment of hoisting cylinder 24 is reached at a steep setting angle of the boom arm 16. 0018 In FIG. 2 the boom arm 16 is connected by means of its connection bolts with an opening 32 in turntable 12, this opening being positioned higher and further forward in relation to the rotation point of the turntable. This opening 32 of turntable 12 is hereinafter called the ship opening, while opening 22 is hereinafter called the industry opening. At the same time, in order to achieve the same kinematics, that is, the same starting and ending angle of boom arm 16, cylinder 24 is pivoted on an offset pivot point 34 positioned in pivot plate 30. With this kinematics, the maximum moment of the hoisting cylinder 24 is achieved with a relatively flat setting angle of the boom arm. This means that the material transloading equipment can bear high loads over comparably greater distances and even under ground. 0019 In FIG. 3 the boom arm 16 is similarly pivoted in ship opening 32 of the turntable 12. Here, however, hoisting cylinder 24 is pivoted via the same opening 28 to pivot plate 30, as was the case in the variant embodiment according to FIG. 1. The boom setting angle of maximum moment thus lies between the steep and flat setting angle of the previous kinematics, yet the result is a different overall pivot angle. 0020 The maximum moment achievable with hoisting cylinder 24 is thereby achieved with a boom arm 16 setting angle of 22.7 degrees. 0021 The optimum working range of the material transloading equipment can be varied by simply adjusting the bolts of boom 16 and hoisting cylinder(s) 24. 0022 FIG. 4 shows the under-carriage 34 of the material transloading equipment unit. The turntable is shown via a track ring 36 on this equipment. In the variant embodiment illustrated here, turntable 12 is equipped with a separate bearing block 38 with openings 32 or 22 for the boom arms 16 (not shown here) and with opening 26 for hoisting cylinder(s) 24. 0023 In the exploded view in FIG. 4a, turntable 12 is shown in combination with two bearing blocks 38 or 39 of different geometries. Bearing blocks 38 or 39 are connected with turntable 12 by means of separable connections. Bearing blocks 38 or 39 differ in height. The bearing blocks represented here are merely examples of configuration of a module that facilitates the positioning of pivot points 32, 22, or 26 in a desired position on turntable 12. 0024 FIG. 5 shows a transloading equipment unit without bearing block enhancement. To prevent collision of the arm with the wall of the ship on the one hand, and to permit unloading of the entire ship bottom on the other hand, a relatively long boom and a long shaft are necessary. 0025 FIG. 6 shows a transloading equipment unit with bearing block enhancement. Compared to FIG. 5, the arm and the shaft can be shorter and therefore lighter. A collision of boom and ship can effectively be prevented here. The entire ship bottom can be reached by the transloading unit, so that the material to be unloaded can be reached at every point of the ship bottom without difficulty. The bearing block is positioned inside the rocking edge of the equipment, and thereby provides in addition for an enhanced stationary moment.
