Definitions

• the present invention relates to a container for bulk goods, which has a floor drain, according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Such containers are preferably used for bulk goods such as sand, gravel, coke and the like.
• Waste glass containers generally have individual throw-in openings, preferably for bottles, are at a recycling point for some time, are removed by special trucks and replaced by empty containers.
• the emptying takes place either in the glassworks or on a train station by lifting the container shell or lowering the bottom of the pyramid or cone.
• the formation of such containers is in accordance with the loading and unloading speeds and the quantity of the items to be collected.
• both loading and unloading are characterized by a high temporal mass flow.
• Special devices so-called railway gutters, are also required for unloading.
• Special storage devices, silos are required for the storage preceding the loading and the storage following the unloading.
• the use of such bulk goods containers designed as wagon bodies therefore requires high capital expenditures, for the containers themselves, for silos and for the railway gutters.
• the unit of use is also always at least one whole wagon, even if it is only to be partially filled.
• the object which is to be achieved with the present invention is to create a bulk goods container which can be emptied through the floor without a flap device and which can be of various sizes.
• an ISO standard containers - can be built, which makes the need for silos unnecessary, or at least very limits, in his On ⁇ build simple, robust and easy to maintain and to empty any attached electrical, pneumatic and / or hydraulic auxiliary devices having.
• FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the container according to the invention from the outside
• Fif. 3 shows a longitudinal section through the container in the open state
• Fig. 7 is a plan view of a variant.
• Fig. 1 the container according to the invention is shown in a perspective view. It consists of a frame 1, for example welded together from square tubes, with four vertical struts 4, which are connected at their upper ends by horizontal struts 20. In the lower part of the frame 1 strong side plates 2 are welded on all four sides. A container 3 is embedded in this frame 1 in such a way that it can move along the vertical struts 4. For this purpose, 3 guides 5 are attached in the corners of the container, which 6 and 7 are described in more detail. In the interior of the container 3, roof-shaped connecting struts 6 are visible which connect and stiffen the longitudinal walls of the container 3.
• the upper edge of the container 3 is connected to a roof-shaped strip 7 for stiffening, for example by welding, which at the same time serves as a deflecting device so that no bulk material remains on the edge.
• a roof-shaped strip 7 for stiffening, for example by welding, which at the same time serves as a deflecting device so that no bulk material remains on the edge.
• Around the container 3 also runs - welded to it - a further, downwardly and outwardly inclined strip 8 which, in the position of the container according to FIG. 1, the upper edge of the side plates 2 - and thus also the space between Side panels 2 and container 3 - covers.
• flat side plates 2 - as shown - in the sense of the invention, flat hollow profiles or rib plates can also be used, the ribs of which run in the horizontal direction.
• Fig. 2 shows the container of Fig. 1 in longitudinal section.
• FIG. 2 This shows that the lower part of the container 3 is drawn in the shape of a truncated pyramid.
• the bottom opening of the container 3 is closed by a plurality of roof-shaped webs 9, 10.
• the webs 9 hatched vertically in FIG. 2 are welded to the longitudinal side plates 2 of the frame 1, the webs hatched horizontally in FIG. 2 10 with the container 3.
• Short pieces of webs welded to the container 3 are identified by the number 11. They stiffen the bottom of the container 3; their dimensioning and position is shown in more detail in FIGS. 4 and 5.
• the two outermost roof-shaped webs 10 are each welded with a pair of vertically extending plates 12, one of which is shown in plan view in FIG. 2. Their task is explained in more detail in connection with FIG. 3.
• the container 3 In the position of the container shown in FIG. 2, the container 3 is closed; it can be loaded with the bulk material to be transported.
• four - only schematically drawn - load introduction devices 13 are present in the four upper corners of the frame 1.
• Another possibility is to drive under the side plates 2 of the frame with the forks of a lift truck. 3 the container is shown in the open or emptying position.
• the filled container for example, runs across two de bar turned 14, which ⁇ zen only the vertical plates under support alarm 12th
• the frame 1 lowers on it, guided by the guides 5, and thus releases the openings closed by the webs 9.
• FIG. 5 shows a detailed cross section through the container, which shows the location where the short web 11 is attached to the container 3.
• FIG. 6 shows an exemplary embodiment of the guide 5.
• a steel angle 15 is welded on, which abuts on two sides of the vertical strut 4, but has legs only so long that they slide past the side plates with sufficient play can.
• the angle 15 is stiffened by means of a support plate 18 which extends, for example, over the entire length of the angle 15.
• Each corner of the container 3 is provided with a guide 5 in the manner described.
• a first variant for this purpose includes plastic sliding plates 15 inserted between vertical strut 4 and angle 15.
• a second variant can be seen in FIG. 7.
• FIG. 7 shows a schematic top view of a variant of the container according to the invention according to FIGS. 1-6. Instead of only four vertical struts 4, it has 6 of them; On the long sides of the frame 1 there are two further vertical struts 16.
• the guides 5, which are described for the four corners in FIG. 6, are modified for the guides 5 on the vertical struts such that instead of an angle 15 a U-profile 17 is used.
• FIG. 7 can of course be expanded to a total of eight or more vertical struts 4, 16.
• the container according to the invention, shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, can in principle be produced in any desired size. Modifications only relate to static elements that are not essential to the invention. Of course, it is intended to be designed as an ISO standard container for rail and ship transport.
• the load introduction devices 13, which are only shown schematically, are then to be designed as devices corresponding to the ISO standards; the corresponding devices at the lower four corners must also be provided accordingly.
• the container is simple and robust and inexpensive to manufacture. Instead of storing different grain sizes of bulk goods in expensive and often underutilized silos, these can be stored in the containers according to the invention, which often also saves unnecessary reloading processes. Furthermore, capital-consuming railroad channels can be saved: the containers are unloaded from universally usable container railroad cars and lifted and emptied onto a relatively simple emptying device. If the containers are not to be emptied at first, they can be stacked, for example as an ISO standard container. The transport train is immediately free again and silo capacity is not required.
• Another advantage is that the container - apart from the container 3 - has no moving parts, no drives and no flaps. This eliminates the need to build, finance and maintain parts, which on the one hand are expensive, are rarely used and are prone to failure; the necessary investments can be shifted to the emptying stations, which significantly reduces capital expenditure and simplifies maintenance.
