Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Palette mit einer Bodenplatte und Füßen aus Metall als Untergestell für Palettenbehälter zum Transport und zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeiten mit einem auf der Bodenplatte der Palette stehenden Innenbehälter aus Kunststoff sowie einem an der Bodenplatte befestigten Außenmantel aus einem Gitterwerk oder Blechmaterial, wobei die freitragend ausgebildete Bodenplatte und die Füße der Palette einteilig aus einer Blechplatine als Vormaterial durch ein Umformverfahren, nämlich durch Tiefziehen und/oder Pressen oder durch Hydroformen hergestellt sind.
Bodenplatte und Füße der Palette für einen aus der DE-A-43 18 966 bekannten Palettenbehälter dieser Art müssen eine entsprechend den geforderten statischen und dynamischen Festigkeitseigenschaften für Lager- und Transportzwecke große Blechstärke aufweisen, die zu einem hohen Leergewicht des Palettenbehälters führt.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Metallpalette als Untergestell für Palettenbehälter zu entwickeln, die sich durch eine hohe Stabilität bei geringem Eigengewicht, eine optimale Stapelbarkeit und eine große Gestaltungsfreiheit der Palettenbasiskonstruktion auszeichnet.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Palette aus Metall mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.
Die Unteransprüche beinhalten vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.
Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand schematischer Zeichnungsfiguren erläutert, die im einzelnen folgendes darstellen:

perspektivische Darstellungen weiterer Ausführungsformen von Blechplatinen zur Herstellung von Bodenplatten mit Füßen für Paletten und
Fig. 9
eine perspektivische Darstellung einer Palette mit Kufen.
Hauptbauteile der Palette 1 nach Fig. 1 sind eine nach oben gewölbte Bodenplatte 2 sowie vier Eckfüße 3 - 6 und vier Mittelfüße 7 - 10 aus Stahlblech und ein an den Eck- und Mittelfüßen 3 - 10 befestigter Grundrahmen 11 aus Stahlrohr.
Die freitragend ausgebildete Bodenplatte 2 sowie die vier Eckfüße 3 - 6 und die vier Mittelfüße 7 - 10 der Palette 1 mit Grundrahmen 11 nach Fig. 1 und ohne Grundrahmen nach Fig. 2 sind einteilig aus einer Blechplatine 12 gemäß Fig. 3 tiefgezogen, wobei die vier Eckfüße 3 - 6 und die drei Mittelfüße 7 - 9 an den beiden Längsseiten 2a, 2b und der Rückseite 2c der Bodenplatte 2, die topfartig ausgebildet sind, seitlich und unten geschlossen und oben offen sind. Der Mittelfuß 10 an der Vorderseite 2d der Bodenplatte 2 ist nach oben und nach vorne offen.
Die Bodenplatte 2 weist vier von den Eckfüßen 3 - 6 zum zentralen Plattenabschnitt 13 verlaufende Versteifungsrippen 14 - 17 sowie eine weitere entlang der beiden Längsseiten 2a, 2b, der Rückseite 2c und der Vorderseite 2d der Bodenplatte 2 verlaufende Randversteifungsrippe 18 auf, die ganz oder teilweise durch die Eck- und Mittelfüße 3 - 10 geführt ist.
Die Bodenplatte 2 der Paletten 1 nach den Fign. 1 und 2 weist zusätzlich eine brückenartige Versteifung 19 auf, die durch aus der Bodenplatte 2 ausgeformte, parallele Versteifungsrippen 20 gebildet ist, die von dem mittleren Abschnitt 21 der einen Längsseite 2a durch den zentralen Plattenabschnitt 13 zu dem mittleren Abschnitt 22 der gegenüberliegenden Längsseite 2b der Bodenplatte 2 verlaufen, wobei die Mittelfüße 7, 9 in die brückenartige Versteifung 19 integriert sind.
Die aus einer Blechplatine 12 tiefgezogene Bodenplatte 23 nach Fig. 4 weist offene Eck- und Mittelfüße 3a - 6a, 7a - 10a auf, die gemäß Fig. 5 mit Abdeckblechen 24 - 26 verkleidet sind.
Die flache Blechplatine 12 nach Fig. 3, aus der die Bodenplatte 2 und die Füße 3 - 10 für die Paletten 1 nach den Fign. 1 und 2 einteilig tiefgezogen werden, weist den unterschiedlichen Belastungszonen der Bodenplatte 2 angepaßte Platinenabschnitte 27 - 29 mit unterschiedlichen Blechstärken zum Erzielen unterschiedlicher Festigkeitswerte auf.
Diese auch unter dem Begriff "Tailored Blanking" bekannte Optimierung von Blechstrukturen erfolgt vor dem Hintergrund einer kostengünstigen Bauteilproduktion bei einer gleichzeitigen Produktverbesserung. Dickenprofilierte Blechplatinen 12 zur Herstellung von Bodenplatten 2 mit Füßen 3 - 10 werden durch "Flexibles Walzen" hergestellt, bei dem die Walzspalteinstellung während des Walzprozesses entsprechend den gewünschten Blechdicken geregelt wird.
Ferner besteht die Möglichkeit, zur Herstellung von Bodenplatten 2 mit Füßen 3 - 10 Blechplatinen 30 gemäß Fig. 6 zu verwenden, die aus Blechen 31 - 33 mit unterschiedlichen Blechstärken entsprechend den unterschiedlichen Belastungszonen der Bodenplatten 2 zusammengeschweißt sind.
Die Blechplatinen 30 können auch aus Blechen 31 - 33 mit einer unterschiedlichen Materialzusammensetzung entsprechend den unterschiedlichen Belastungszonen der Bodenplatten 2 zusammengeschweißt werden.
Die Blechplatine 34 nach Fig. 7 zur einteiligen Herstellung von Bodenplatten 2 mit Füßen 3 - 10 nach den Fign. 1 und 2 weist die vorprofilierten Versteifungsrippen 20 der brückenartigen Versteifung 19 auf.
Die Blechplatine 35 nach Fig. 8 zur Fertigung von Bodenplatten 2 mit Füßen 3 - 10 ist aus einem Blech 36 mit den vorprofilierten Versteifungsrippen 20 der Versteifung 19 und zwei Flachblechen 37 zusammengeschweißt.
Ohne den Grundrahmen 11 sind die Paletten 1 nach Fig. 2 ineinander stapelbar.
Bei der in Fig. 9 dargestellten Palette 1 sind an den Füßen 3 - 10 Kufen 38 aus Metall, Kunststoff oder Holz befestigt.
Die Palette 1 mit einer nach oben gewölbten Bodenplatte 2 wird bevorzugt als Untergestell für Palettenbehälter zum Transport und zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeiten mit einem auf der Bodenplatte stehenden Innenbehälter aus Kunststoff sowie einem an der Bodenplatte und den Füßen befestigten Außenmantel aus einem Gitterwerk oder Blechmaterial eingesetzt, wobei der als Ablaufboden für die Flüssigkeit zur Restentleerung des Palettenbehälters ausgebildete Boden des Innenbehälters der Wölbung der Bodenplatte der Palette angepaßt ist.
Ferner kann die Palette 1 mit einer flachen Bodenplatte 2 als Transport- und Lagerpalette für Güter verschiedener Art verwendet werden.
