Abstract
A support roller (30, 30′) for supporting a vehicle on an underlying surface, comprising at least one bearing element which is at least indirectly connectable to at least one supporting structure of the vehicle, at least one fork connected to the bearing element, and at least one wheel (90, 90′) which is mounted in the fork so as to be rotatable about a first rolling axis (R) and can be brought into contact with the underlying surface, at least one sensing device (190) for sensing at least one supporting force with which the wheel (90, 90′) is supported on the underlying surface. A vehicle, in particular an industrial truck, comprising at least one support roller and a method for stabilizing a vehicle.
Claims20
A support roller for supporting a vehicle on an underlying surface, comprising at least one bearing element which is at least indirectly connectible to at least one supporting structure of the vehicle, at least one fork connected to the bearing element, and at least one wheel which is mounted in the fork so as to be rotatable about a first rolling axis and can be brought into contact with the underlying surface,
- wherein the support roller further comprises at least one sensing device for sensing at least one supporting force with which the wheel is supported on the underlying surface,
- wherein a force acting between at least a first element and at least a second element is detectable by means of the sensing means;
- and
- wherein the sensing device is arranged at least in areas in the bearing elements.
A support roller for supporting a vehicle on an underlying surface, comprising at least one bearing element which is at least indirectly connectible to at least one supporting structure of the vehicle, at least one fork connected to the bearing element, and at least one wheel which is mounted in the fork so as to be rotatable about a first rolling axis and can be brought into contact with the underlying surface,
- wherein the support roller further comprises at least one sensing device for sensing at least one supporting force with which the wheel is supported on the underlying surface, and
- wherein the bearing element is formed in the form of at least one rotary bearing and that a rotation of the fork about a pivot axis running substantially perpendicularly to the rolling axis is possible by means of the rotary bearing, wherein the fork and/or the rolling axis can be forced by means of at least one first return device into at least one predetermined position relative to the bearing element and/or the supporting structure, optionally with regard to the pivot axis.
