Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport and / or storage container for liquids and for fine-particle bulk material with an outer jacket made of a grid with horizontal and vertical bars, a bottom and an inner container made of plastic, the inner container abuts the outer jacket and rests on the floor .
  • the lattice bars are designed as round steel bars and / or wires and are optionally solidified by heat treatment or cold working. They are welded together at the crossing points in the lattice network.
  • the outer shell is generally enclosed in its upper edge by a frame to which the bars are welded and which in turn consists of section steel.
  • the bottom is formed by a special component.
  • This can be the surface of a pallet made of wood or sheet metal, which is connected to the outer jacket in a special way.
  • Pallet refers to devices that allow the transport and / or storage container to be handled by means of a forklift or the like and that are also suitable for erection and stacking.
  • the base forms a foreign body which, although connected to the outer jacket, nevertheless affects the structural strength. If the bottom belongs to a pallet that is made of wood, it is also a problem that such a pallet is used in the normal handling of transport and / or storage containers in modern logistics it has a much shorter service life than the outer jacket made of steel bars.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a transport and / or storage container of the structure described, also with pallet elements, so that the bottom forms an integral part of the transport and / or storage container and no longer as an alien component, the structural strength and the service life impaired.
  • the transport and / or storage container should be significantly improved in terms of its strength and stability so that it is not damaged and the inner container does not burst when the transport and / or storage container is in practical use, filled with one under certain circumstances dangerous liquid that is manipulated and falls out of a crane, for example.
  • the invention teaches that vertical bars of the outer casing are bent into the floor plane and, if necessary with the bars attached, form the bottom, the bent bars or the bars being welded to one another. All or some of the vertical bars can be bent in the manner described and the horizontal bars combined with the vertical bars of the outer jacket can also be included in the floor structure, depending on the strength requirements placed on the floor structure.
  • the floor-forming bars can lie one on top of the other or be interwoven, e.g. B. corresponding to a so-called linen weave.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention relates to a transport and / or storage container of the structure described in the embodiment with a rectangular or square plan.
  • This embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the vertical bars from opposite side walls of the outer casing on the one hand, the vertical bars of the remaining side walls on the other hand form a bottom of crossing bars welded together at the crossing points and in the end regions. The welded ends are conveniently next to each other. It is within the scope of the invention in this embodiment to place additional bars in the direction of the bottom-forming bars, inside the container and / or outside of the tank, and of course to weld them to other bars or to them, preferably at certain points, running parallel to one another at the crossing points.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the enclosed lattice bars have formations which form pallet feet for handling the transport and / or storage container by means of a forklift or the like.
  • the transport and / or storage container according to the invention is not limited to the fact that its layout is rectangular or square. In the case of the transport and / or storage container, there is the possibility of designing the outer jacket with the molded-on bottom formed from lattice bars in such a way that the inner container finds a very full contact and is consequently supported very effectively.
  • a transport and / or storage container of the construction described is already fully operational, especially if it is manipulated with the aid of a lifting device. If the transport and / or storage container is to be manipulated with the aid of forklifts or the like, the invention recommends an embodiment as a pallet container.
  • This embodiment is characterized in that pallet elements arranged below the floor are connected to the floor and possibly to the outer jacket.
  • the pallet elements can belong to a wooden or floor plate and are then combined with the usual connecting means with the outer jacket or the floor from the bent bars.
  • the pallet elements can belong to a wooden or floor plate and are then combined with the usual connecting means with the outer jacket or the floor from the bent bars.
  • the pallet elements as independent components from round steel bars or sheet metal. They are expediently welded on.
  • the invention also relates to a method for the production of the outer casing with a bottom for the transport and / or storage container of the structure described.
  • This method is fundamentally characterized in that a flat receiving head blank with outer jacket parts and bottom parts is formed from the bars, the bending zones and seam zones, that the outer jacket parts are pulled together to the outer jacket and the bottom parts to the bottom, and that the bars in the seam zones with each other be welded.
  • Bottom parts can be formed, which consist of extensions of the vertical bars in the outer jacket, the extensions being bent towards the bottom and at the intersection len are welded.
  • a flat receiving basket blank is formed from the side bars or the bottom walls of the blank elements corresponding to the edge regions, and has corresponding bending zones and seam zones that rounding elements are bent onto the mesh bars in the seam zones , which add to the roundings in the receiving basket, and that the cut elements are then erected around the bending zone and the bars are welded together in the area of the seam zones.
  • cut-to-size elements with a matching grid dimension of the bars will be formed from the bars, which have complementary bars at the seam zones, the complementary bars being welded to one another.
  • transport and / or storage containers shown in the figures are intended for liquids and for fine-particle bulk goods.
  • these transport and / or storage containers consist of an outer jacket 1 made of a grid with horizontal and vertical bars 2, 3, a bottom 4 and an inner container 5 made of plastic.
  • the inner container 5 made of plastic forms a bubble. It is equipped with a corresponding lid closure 6 and lies on the inside against the outer jacket 1, while also resting on the bottom 4.
  • Fig. 1 has already been indicated and in Figs. 2 and 3 it is clear that vertical bars 3 of the outer casing 1 are bent into the floor plane and form the bottom 4 with horizontal bars of the outer jacket and / or enclosed bars 7. Show 1 and 2, the embodiment with a square plan. It can be seen that the vertical bars 3 from opposite side walls a, a of the outer jacket on the one hand, the vertical bars of the remaining side walls b, b form a bottom 4 of crossing bars 3, which are welded together at the crossing points and also at the ends . 2, these welds 8, which connect the ends, have been indicated.
  • Fig. 3 you can see the embodiment with a round plan.
  • the vertical bars 3 are bent in the radial direction of the plan of the container.
  • the enclosed bars 7 are circular and welded, on the one hand welded to one another at the ends and also welded to the bent vertical bars 3 at the crossing points.
  • the bottom 4 has a circular recess 9. It can be seen from a comparative examination of all the figures that the bent bars 3, which are vertical in the outer jacket, have a radius in the bending region which is adapted to the rounded shape of the inner container 5.
  • Fig. 1 indicates the embodiment as a pallet container for handling by means of a forklift u. Like. As well as for placing on a stacking surface or for stacking. Pallet elements 10 arranged below the bottom 4 are connected to the bottom 4 and possibly to the outer jacket 1. The bottom 4 can form the top of the pallet.
  • the pallet elements 10 can also belong to a wooden pallet, a sheet metal pallet or a plastic pallet. In the exemplary embodiment, the pallet elements 10 are independent components made from round steel bars and / or sheet metal and / or plastic. They form attached feet. The enclosed additional rods 7 can also have corresponding foot shapes. For the drop-proof embodiment of the transport and / or storage containers, the pallet elements are designed to be capable of being deformed. At the upper edge of the outer casing 1 there is a stabilizing frame 11, with which the vertical bars 3 are welded.
  • FIG. 4 The embodiment according to FIG. 4 is readily understandable with the reference numerals entered and explained above. It can be seen on the left in FIG. 4 that additional bars 7 have molded feet which form the pallet elements 10. The molded feet can be fitted with stand shoes or skids made of wood, plastic or metal.
  • the outlet-promoting outlet container bottom 4 could also be designed, as it were, in reverse, in the shape of a ridge, and thereby form a channel which runs inclined toward the emptying nozzle 12. Of particular importance are the relationships that can be seen from a comparative view of FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the outlet bottom 15 of the inner container 5 has a bottom surface 16 or bottom surface regions whose angle of inclination 17 against the horizontal in the partially emptied or emptied state of the inner container 5 is greater than the corresponding angle of inclination 18 on the outlet-promoting outer container bottom 4, and that the outlet bottom 15 lies in the filled state of the inner container 5 with elastic deformation on the outlet-promoting outer container bottom 4 and is set up in such a way that in a partially emptied state of the inner container 5 the larger angle of inclination 17 of the bottom surface 16 or the bottom surface areas of the inner container 5 is set back.
