Abstract

A storage bin for storage and drying of timber comprising an exterior shell (1) with a roof (2) on top. The exterior shell (1) is created by a self-contained wire mesh (3).

Description

The invention relates to a container for drying and storing wood, comprising a cladding which is provided with a roof on the upper side.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Chopped firewood is stored in the cellars, on the attics, by straightening the wood at the house wall under the roof overhang, stacking it on the ground in a loose pile, and in the pillars. Furthermore, woodsheds and sheds built specifically for this purpose are used. These known processes have a number of disadvantages listed below.

When straightening wet wood near the wall under the roof overlap into several rows side by side, no air flow is ensured and the wood starts to mold. Straightening into a single row of wood against a wall is not stable and this row of wood must be secured against falling.

A loose pile of wood, or a pile covered with a tarpaulin, does not guarantee airflow and rainwater dripping away from wood.

Storage of wood in cellars or on lofts does not provide air flow and is not suitable because of fire safety and risk of wood pests being introduced into wooden structures.

Straightening the wood to the poles is laborious, does not ensure the air flow and the mass at the center of the pile does not reach. At the time of withdrawal from the upper part, there is no regular blanket and it rains all over the profile.

It is expensive to build a stationary solid woodshed. If the woodshed has full closed walls, there is no air flow and the wood can moldy in a fully filled woodshed.

The object of the technical solution is to create such a construction of a storage and drying tank for firewood, which would be not only solid and self-supporting with a roof against rain moisture, but also airy and ventilated and its production would be simple and unpretentious.

The essence of the technical solution

This problem is solved by a wood drying and storage container comprising a skirt having a roof on the upper side, according to a technical solution which consists in that the skirt is formed by a self-supporting wire net.

In a preferred embodiment, the circumferential envelope is provided with at least one filling / discharge opening, which may be provided with a door.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the circumferential jacket has a circular plan and the roof comprises metal trapezoidal segments which form a truncated multilevel pyramid jacket, the upper opening of which is covered by a tapered conical jacket.

According to a preferred embodiment of the joint, the at least two metal trapezoidal segments on adjacent sides are bent to form a flattened spiral with one thread, the mirrored spirals of adjacent segments interlocking to form a joint.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the joint, at least two metal trapezoidal segments on adjacent sides are bent to form a flattened spiral with one thread, the mirrored spirals of the adjacent segments being fixed to each other by a metal strip interposed between the end bends of the mirrored spirals.

Examples

The wood drying and storage container according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 consists of a self-supporting cylindrical cladding 1 of a wire mesh 3, which is provided with a sheet metal roof 2 on its upper side.

The semi-finished product for making the cladding I is a rectangular wire mesh 3 of 2000 x 6000 mm, of steel class 10370, with a wire diameter of 5 mm and a mesh size of 100 x 100 mm. This net 3 is curled and welded to form a self-supporting cylindrical cladding with a diameter of 1900 mm and a height of 2000 mm.

The cladding 1 has two square filling / emptying openings 4, which are closed by a single door 5 (see FIG. 3 for details) made of the same wire net from which the cladding 1 is made.

The cladding 1 is terminated on the lower and upper side by a horizontal wire for anchoring to the container to the ground and for anchoring the roof 2 to the cladding 1.

The roof 2 of FIG. 2 is made of twelve trapezoidal segments 6 of galvanized sheet metal with a thickness of 0.55 mm. The interconnected segments 6 form a sheath of a truncated multilevel pyramid whose upper opening is covered by a tapered sheath 7.

With the exception of the last segment 6, all segments 6 of the roof 2 (see Fig. 4) are connected by a joint as shown in Fig. 5. On adjacent sides, the segments 6 are bent to form a flattened spiral 8 with a single thread. The adjacent segments 6 are locked together when inserted.

The last segment 6 of the roof 2 cannot be connected to the other segments 6 by sliding and therefore has a slightly modified joint, the construction of which is shown in Fig. 6. The last trapezoidal segment 6 and the facing sides of adjacent segments 6 are also bent into a flattened spiral 8 but the mirrored spirals 8 of the adjacent segments 6 are fixed to each other by a metal strip 9 inserted between the end bends of the mirrored spirals 8.

After joining all segments 6, the upper opening is covered by a riveted sheet metal conical sheath 7.

The finished roof 2 is attached to the cladding 1 by any known fixation means.

The container for drying and storing wood according to the technical solution can be built freely on the plot or it can be anchored by known anchoring elements.
