Description

1. Technical area

The The present invention relates to a vehicle body for self-propelled or foreign-moving vehicles for the transport of liquids and / or Solids.

2. State of the art

Out The prior art is a variety of transport vehicles and vehicle bodies known, depending on the purpose of transport and use have a different configuration. For example as transport vehicle bodies, box or box bodies, tanker vehicles, Container transport or dump truck bodies known. Farther are disposal vehicles for simultaneous transportation known from different materials.

For example, this describes DE 80 16 215 U1 a vehicle with a arranged on the chassis tank for the transport of liquids, wherein the tank is designed to be adjustable in height depending on the filling position for the transport of the liquid in a contrast higher transport position on the chassis under release of a cargo space for cargo. After the liquid-filled tank has been transported to a predetermined location and emptied, the tank can be adjusted in height and tilted by means of a hydraulic cylinder. The cargo space between the tank and the chassis can then be filled with general cargo. After loading with general cargo, the empty tank is lowered onto supports and secured. The disadvantage here is in particular that only a limited load volume is provided for general cargo, the loading and unloading, in particular by determining the order of loading is limited and loading or unloading of cargo in a filled tank is dangerous due to Danger of tilting or eliminated. The load density, which is the mass charged per unit volume of transport space, is usually higher for liquids than for solids or bulk material. By transverse and longitudinal acceleration or deceleration of the charged mass tilting moments are generated with respect to the tilting axes of the vehicle when driving. These are the larger, the farther the mass is removed from the tilt axis. The tilt axis is the axis about which the vehicle can pitch or roll at longitudinal or lateral acceleration.

at liquid cargo is additionally the problem that only partial filling of the tank, the liquid Load moves up and to the side and / or forward or backward, whereby the distance of the center of gravity from the tilting axis in comparison is increased to the unaccelerated state.

at loaded vehicle is therefore the danger of tipping in this arrangement large and the stability of the charge low, which is why For safety reasons, the vehicle should only operate slowly can.

Furthermore, from the DE 20 2007 010 966 U1 a transport vehicle, in particular for the transport of materials for biogas plants, known with a vehicle frame, a chassis and a structure, wherein in the lower part of the transport vehicle substantially a transport tank, in particular for the transport of manure and in the upper part of the transport vehicle substantially a transport trough in particular Transport of chopped corn is provided. The tank space of the transport tank and the loading space of the transport tray are separated by a wall of the transport tank. The wall forms, at least in sections, the bottom of the transport trough. A pressure plate is guided on a rail, which is arranged on the inside of the wall of the transport tray, whereby the discharge of cargo is to be supported. Unfavorable in this arrangement is that the transport tray forms a unit for the transport of solids and / or bulk material with the transport tank, whereby the loading and unloading with solids and / or bulk material is restricted and more difficult overall.

Furthermore, for example, from the US 6,601,924 a vehicle is known which comprises a semi-trailer having a frame. On the frame of the semi-trailer is mounted between a first tank, which is attached to the front end of the trailer, and a second tank, which is attached to the rear end of the trailer, a dump body, which is provided for transporting solids. The first and second tanks are designed for the transport of liquids. Such an arrangement of the tanks and the dump body one behind the other can in particular lead to difficulties with the weight distribution. Incidentally, the length of the vehicle hereby extends considerably or it can not be transported long solids.

Farther there is an increasing demand for transport and disposal vehicles, whose field of application is variable, whereby without major alterations and changes in the vehicle different solids and liquids can be transported.

The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a vehicle body for self-propelled or foreign moving vehicles for the transport of liquids and / or solids, which made a versatile field of application light and with the particular disadvantages of the prior art can be overcome, which in particular the number of empty trips that bring environmental and transport policy disadvantages, be avoided, higher utilization can be achieved, saves time and money and loading and unloading be facilitated by bulk material, the maneuverability of the vehicle improves and driving safety is increased.
