Description

The invention relates to a transport container for transport vehicles and equipped with a corresponding container transport vehicle. In particular, the invention relates to a manure or generally liquid substance transport container and a manure or generally liquid substance transport vehicle. Corresponding transport containers have a loading space for receiving cargo and the loading space limiting side walls and a bottom.

Transport vehicles - in the context of the invention are both powered vehicles as well as non-powered vehicles, eg. B. trailer understood - are generally used so that the cargo is driven to a specific destination and unloaded there. So z. As liquid manure driven to a recycler, such as a biogas plant, and unloaded there. The transporter must be returned empty to pick up the next load of slurry at another location. There are empty runs that cost money and are therefore uneconomical.

Liquid substances such as manure - liquid substances are pumpable substances within the meaning of this application, which may have a solids content - require special transport containers, tanks, which are designed exclusively for this purpose. Empty runs are therefore preprogrammed if no new liquid substance is to be taken up at the place of unloading of the liquid substance.

From the generic Austrian patent AT 214 293 B is a vehicle for transporting liquid and / or solid goods with a tank and a tank additionally arranged on this loading area known. The tank is designed essentially trapezoidal. With such vehicles optionally liquids and / or bulk goods can be transported. However, it has been shown in the past that such constructions often have unsatisfactory driving characteristics. On the one hand, it can easily lead to irregularities in the loading of bulk materials, if they accumulate during loading on one or the other side of the tank. On the other hand, during a partial filling of the tank, the liquid contained therein can easily move, especially when cornering. In practice, this has meant that such constructions can not prevail so far.

Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a transport container and a transport vehicle, with which a reduction in the number of empty runs with improved over the prior art driving characteristics is possible.

This object is achieved by a transport container having the features of claim 1 and by a transport vehicle having the features of claim 9. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the respective subclaims.

According to the invention, in addition to a first loading area for receiving liquid substances such as manure, which is in particular airtight, another, namely a bulk cargo loading area is provided. This tapers like a funnel to the container bottom and is arranged so that it is arranged next to and / or above the first loading area. The bulk cargo loading area is then fillable from above, in particular via the roof, which can be designed as a canopy roof.

This ensures that over the same container two separate loading areas can be loaded with different cargo. In particular, the slurry transport to biogas plants can be found there as products of fermentation bulk goods that must be transported away from there. This is now possible with one and the same container.

Due to the funnel-shaped configuration, this is also possible without risk, since on the one hand the liquid substance displacing during the journey is stored at the bottom - ie with a low center of gravity in the transport container, which does not jeopardize the transport safety, in particular the rolling of trucks. On the other hand, it is achieved through the funnel that the center of gravity of the bulk material storage area located above the liquid substance storage area is stored from the center and also with the lowest possible center of gravity in the transport container. Within the permissible total load, both one storage area and the other storage area can be loaded simultaneously, which in turn prevents further empty runs.

The bulk material can preferably be removed at an end face of the transport container. For this purpose, a bulk material removal device, in particular a flap, is preferably provided. This can be provided in a transport vehicle equipped according to the invention, in which the transport container is mounted on the chassis, in the rear region of the transport vehicle. For emptying the transport container, in particular about a transverse to the direction of travel pivot axis, tiltably mounted.

The transport container according to the invention preferably has a purge line. This serves to flush the first loading area. For this purpose, it is provided that the first loading area with the Flush line connected scavenging inlet, which may be formed as a distributor and is preferably located in an end region of the transport container, and a Spülauslass, which is preferably provided in the respective other end of the transport container and through which also the load, for. As the manure, can be removed from the first loading area. Furthermore, the transport container preferably has a ventilation or vent opening remote from the flushing outlet in order to allow air to escape from the transport container when the first loading area is being filled and to allow air to flow in when the first loading area is emptied.

According to a preferred construction of the invention it is provided that a plurality of baffles are arranged in the cargo space along its longitudinal direction, which project into the cargo space and widened towards the bottom of the transport container in the transverse direction of the transport container, wherein the boundary walls of the bulk cargo area rest on the baffles or with these are firmly connected. The boundary walls can have closable maintenance openings in order to be able to reach the first loading area from the bulk goods loading area for maintenance purposes. Furthermore, the boundary walls can be coated on the inside, in particular with a two-component ceramic composite coating, in order to prevent the load from being attacked by the boundary walls.

The baffles each have at least one passage for the passage of liquid substances, so that the absorbed liquid substance can be distributed in the first loading area. It is preferably provided that the baffles are mounted on a frame frame. Thus it can be achieved that a particularly stable construction can be produced in which the first loading area (also) lies below the bulk goods loading area. It is preferably provided that the frame frame is formed from longitudinal and / or transverse members. These can be easily manufactured from profile parts and welded together.

It can further be provided that the frame frame is spaced by means of spacer elements from the bottom of the transport container and thus allows the formation of the first loading area below the bulk goods loading area.
