Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tank container comprising a tank retained inside a parallelepiped frame.
- the tank containers have been designed to meet the requirements of modern transport.
- Their framework is in fact made so as to facilitate their handling with the usual lifting devices as well as their storage, in piles or in rows, in warehouses or in means of transport such as freighters, wagons and trucks.
- the tank In current tank-containers, the tank generally rests on cradles provided on the frame and is applied directly against them by half-clamps fixed to the frame, for example by bolting.
- half-clamps fixed to the frame, for example by bolting.
- the present invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks and, to do this, it relates to a tank container which is characterized in that the tank is connected to the frame only by means of multidirectional elastic studs.
- the elastic studs also allow the tank to expand more easily during temperature variations. In addition, they oppose the appearance of corrosions under tension as well as the formation of thermal bridges.
- each stud comprises an elastic mattress interposed between a male body and a female body of complementary shapes, these two bodies being nested one inside the other and integral with one of the framework and the other of the tank. It is easily understood that the elastic pads, when they have a structure of this type, can be produced easily and with a low cost price.
- the male body and the female body are connected to each other by a removable fixing member.
- this member is to provide security against possible separation of the tank and the frame when the tank container is subjected to very violent shocks, for example during a fall.
- the male body and the female body have a common axis of symmetry extending vertically.
- the tank is best protected against the various forces to which the framework is subjected during handling, these forces generally being exerted in all directions, but especially horizontally ⁇
- the male body and the female body may advantageously have two vertical side walls facing each other, two side walls also inclined towards one another. the other, connecting the two vertical walls, and a horizontal wall connecting the four side walls, which is located at the smallest side of the vertical walls.
- the vertical side walls are parallel to the longitudinal sides of the frame, which makes it possible to limit the size of the elastic studs and therefore to adapt in the frame a tank having a slightly increased capacity.
- the tank container according to the invention comprises four elastic studs located on the longitudinal sides of the frame and facing two by two, the male bodies of the studs located on the same side being fixed on a horizontal beam connecting the ends of the framework while the female bodies of these same studs are each connected to the lateral sides of a vertical reinforcing ring projecting from the side wall of the tank.
- It can also advantageously include two other elastic studs, the male bodies of which are fixed to the reinforcement rings of the tank, at the top of the latter, and the female bodies of which are each connected by two horizontal pins at one end of the framework.
- each pad comprises an elastic mattress constituted by two plates, for example made of rubber, interposed between the inclined and / or horizontal walls of its male body and its female body.
- each pad may comprise, according to a second variant embodiment, an elastic mattress, for example made of rubber, interposed between the different walls of its male body and of its body female.
- the tank container comprises first of all a parallelepiped frame, the longitudinal 1 and transverse sides 2 of which are delimited by four vertical uprights 3 provided with shoes 4 at their two ends.
- shoes 4 which are intended either to allow the attachment of the lifting means of the handling equipment, or to cooperate with the shoes of the neighboring containers, are in fact produced with completely conventional standardized shapes and dimensions.
- each beam 5 has two horizontal wings 6 each having a planar external face, as well as a vertical core 7 provided with openings 8 over its entire length.
- the framework also includes horizontal crosspieces 9 connecting the corresponding uprights 3.
- Two crosspieces 10 also connect the lower wings of the beams 5 in order to further increase the rigidity of the frame.
- the tank container visible in Figures 1 and 2 comprises, disposed inside its framework, a tank 11 in the form of a cylinder of revolution closed at each of its ends by an end wall curved towards the outside.
- This tank the longitudinal axis of which extends horizontally, conventionally comprises a manhole 12 centered on the upper generatrix of its side wall and which is accessible, thanks to a vertical ladder 13 leading to a horizontal walkway 14.
- It also includes a drain valve (not shown) located on one of its end walls, as well as two vertical reinforcement rings 15 projecting from its side wall, equidistant from its end walls.
- the tank 11 could have a cross section not circular, but for example elliptical or having any convex curvature. Similarly, its end walls could possibly be flat at the instead of being bulged.
- the tank 11 rests on the framework by means of elastic studs 16, the structure of which will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
- These studs which, in the embodiment shown are at number four, are located on the longitudinal sides 1 of the frame and face two by two. It goes without saying, however, that their number and location could be different if the dimensions of the container so required.
- each pad comprises an elastic mattress 17 interposed between a male body 18 and a female body 19 of complementary shapes.
- These two bodies are nested one inside the other and, in the example shown, they respectively have two vertical side walls 20a, 20b extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tank, two side walls 21a, 21b also inclined towards each other, and a horizontal wall 22a, 22b resting on the four side walls, at the level of the smallest side of the vertical walls.
- male and female bodies could alternatively have a frustoconical side wall whose small base would be closed by a circular horizontal wall.
- the male body 18 is welded by its large base to a plate 23 fixed by bolts 24 on the external face of the upper wing 6 of the visible beam 5.
- the female body 19 is connected to the lateral sides of the reinforcing ring 15 by means of two parallel flanges 25 welded on its inclined side walls 21b and two other parallel flanges 26 welded on its vertical wall 20b which is turned towards the longitudinal axis of the tank.
- the female bodies of the four elastic studs are not necessarily fixed to the lateral sides of the reinforcing rings 15. After a slight movement of the male bodies on the beams 5, they could indeed be fixed in other places, possibly reinforced, of the side wall of the tank.
- the elastic mattress 17 which can be seen particularly well in FIGS. 4 and 5 is interposed between all the opposite walls of the male body 18 and the female body 19. In certain cases, it could however only be present between the inclined walls 21a and 21b and / or between the horizontal walls 22a and 22b of these two bodies.
- the mattress 17 is made of rubber, but there is nothing to prevent it being made of a different material, provided that the latter is sufficiently elastic and capable of absorbing all the forces that would be exerted on the frame.
- each of the four elastic studs 16 are connected to each other by a connecting member such as the bolt 27 whose head rests on the external face of the horizontal wall 22b of the body 19 and the rod of which, which crosses this wall and the mattress 17 and the horizontal wall 22a of the body 18, is screwed into a nut 28 provided on the internal face of this last wall 22a .
- the tank container which has just been described comprises two other elastic studs 29 centered on the upper generatrix of the reinforcement rings 15 and each connected by two horizontal bracons 30 to the upper shoes 4 of two uprights 3 delimiting a transverse side of the framework .
- These two additional studs have a structure similar to that of studs 16 and therefore do not have to be described in detail here. It will simply be noted that they comprise a male body 31 fixed on the corresponding reinforcing ring 15, a female body 32 fitted on the male body and an elastic mattress 33 interposed between the walls opposite the male and female bodies.
- the horizontal wall of the female body is integral with a plate 34 on which the two pins 30 are supported and that a bolt 35 connects the male body to the female body.
- the vertical walls of the male and female bodies of the studs 29 are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tank, just like those of the male and female bodies of the studs 16.
- the studs 16 and 29 do not protrude from the lateral faces of the frame and that they are thus protected against possible deterioration during the handling of the tank container.
- the elastic pads produced in accordance with the present invention provide effective protection of the tank against the various forces which could be exerted on the tank during the handling or transport of the container. They also have the advantage of allowing fast and simple fastening and separation of the tank and the framework. It suffices to put the bolts 27 and 35 in place to carry out the first operation and to remove them to carry out the second.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un conteneur-citerne comprenant une cuve retenue à l'intérieur d'une ossature parallélépipédique.The present invention relates to a tank container comprising a tank retained inside a parallelepiped frame.
Les conteneurs-citernes ont été conçus pour répondre aux exigences des transports modernes. Leur ossature est en effet réalisée de façon à faciliter leur manutention avec les engins habituels de levage ainsi que leur rangement, en piles ou en rangées, dans les entrepots ou dans les moyens de transport tels que cargos, wagons et camions.The tank containers have been designed to meet the requirements of modern transport. Their framework is in fact made so as to facilitate their handling with the usual lifting devices as well as their storage, in piles or in rows, in warehouses or in means of transport such as freighters, wagons and trucks.
Dans les conteneurs-citernes actuels, la citerne repose généralement sur des berceaux prévus sur l'ossature et est appliquée directement contre ceux-ci par des demi-colliers de serrage fixés à l'armature, par exemple par boulonnage. Or avec un tel mode de montage, tous les efforts s'exerçant sur l'ossature pendant la manutention ou le transport du conteneur sont transmis à la citerne qui risque ainsi d'être endommagée à tout instant.In current tank-containers, the tank generally rests on cradles provided on the frame and is applied directly against them by half-clamps fixed to the frame, for example by bolting. However, with such an assembly method, all the forces exerted on the framework during the handling or the transport of the container are transmitted to the tank which risks thus being damaged at any time.
La présente invention se propose de remédier à ces inconvénients et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet un conteneur-citerne qui se caractérise en ce que la cuve est reliée à l'ossature uniquement par l'intermédiaire de plots élastiques multidirectionnels.The present invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks and, to do this, it relates to a tank container which is characterized in that the tank is connected to the frame only by means of multidirectional elastic studs.
Les différents efforts qui s'exercent sur l'ossature sont maintenant absorbés par les plots élastiques et ne parviennent donc plus jusqu'à la citerne. Les risques pour que celle-ci soit endommagée pendant la manutention du conteneur-citerne se trouvent ainsi éliminés.The various forces exerted on the frame are now absorbed by the elastic studs and therefore no longer reach the tank. The risks of it being damaged during handling of the tank container are thus eliminated.
Les plots élastiques permettent par ailleurs à la citerne de se dilater plus facilement lors des variations de température. En outre, ils s'opposent à l'apparition des corrosions sous tension ainsi qu'à la formation de ponts thermiques.The elastic studs also allow the tank to expand more easily during temperature variations. In addition, they oppose the appearance of corrosions under tension as well as the formation of thermal bridges.
Avantageusement, chaque plot comprend un matelas élastique interposé entre un corps mâle et un corps femelle de formes complémentaires, ces deux corps étant emboîtés l'un dans l'autre et solidaires l'un de l'ossature et l'autre de la cuve. On conçoit aisément que les plots élastiques, lorsqu'ils ont une structure de ce type, peuvent être réalisés facilement et avec un faible.prix de revient.Advantageously, each stud comprises an elastic mattress interposed between a male body and a female body of complementary shapes, these two bodies being nested one inside the other and integral with one of the framework and the other of the tank. It is easily understood that the elastic pads, when they have a structure of this type, can be produced easily and with a low cost price.
De préférence, le corps mâle et le corps femelle sont reliés l'un à l'autre par un organe de fixation amovible. On notera ici que la fonction essentielle de cet organe est de constituer une sécurité contre une éventuelle séparation de la cuve et de l'ossature lorsque le conteneur-citerne est soumis à des chocs très violents, par exemple lors d'une chute.Preferably, the male body and the female body are connected to each other by a removable fixing member. It will be noted here that the essential function of this member is to provide security against possible separation of the tank and the frame when the tank container is subjected to very violent shocks, for example during a fall.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le corps mâle et le corps femelle ont un axe de symétrie commun s'étendant verticalement.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the male body and the female body have a common axis of symmetry extending vertically.
Grâce à cette disposition, la cuve est protégée au mieux contre les différents efforts auxquels l'ossature est soumise pendant les manutentions, ces efforts s'exerçant en général dans toutes les directions, mais surtout horizontalement<Thanks to this arrangement, the tank is best protected against the various forces to which the framework is subjected during handling, these forces generally being exerted in all directions, but especially horizontally <
Pour faciliter la fabrication et limiter le prix de revient du conteneur, tout en assurant une protection efficace de la cuve, le corps mâle et le corps femelle peuvent avantageusement comporter deux parois latérales verticales se faisant face, deux parois latérales également inclinées l'une vers l'autre, reliant les deux parois verticales, et une paroi horizontale reliant les quatre parois latérales, laquelle est située au niveau du plus petit côté des parois verticales.To facilitate manufacture and limit the cost price of the container, while ensuring effective protection of the tank, the male body and the female body may advantageously have two vertical side walls facing each other, two side walls also inclined towards one another. the other, connecting the two vertical walls, and a horizontal wall connecting the four side walls, which is located at the smallest side of the vertical walls.
Selon une disposition particulière, les parois latérales verticales sont parallèles aux côtés longitudinaux de l'ossature, ce qui permet de limiter l'encombrement des plots élastiques et donc d'adapter dans l'ossature une cuve ayant une capacité légèrement augmentée.According to a particular arrangement, the vertical side walls are parallel to the longitudinal sides of the frame, which makes it possible to limit the size of the elastic studs and therefore to adapt in the frame a tank having a slightly increased capacity.
De préférence, le conteneur-citerne conforme à l'invention comporte quatre plots élastiques situés sur les côtés longitudinaux de l'ossature et se faisant face deux à deux, les corps mâles des plots situés d'un même côté étant fixés sur une poutre horizontale reliant les extrémités de l'ossature tandis que les corps femelles de ces mêmes plots sont reliés chacun aux côtés latéraux d'un anneau vertical de renfort faisant saillie sur la paroi latérale de la cuve. Il peut en outre avantageusement comporter deux autres plots élastiques dont les corps mâles sont fixés sur les anneaux de renfort de la cuve, à la partie supérieure de ceux-ci, et dont les corps femelles sont reliés chacun par deux bracons horizontaux à une extrémité de l'ossature.Preferably, the tank container according to the invention comprises four elastic studs located on the longitudinal sides of the frame and facing two by two, the male bodies of the studs located on the same side being fixed on a horizontal beam connecting the ends of the framework while the female bodies of these same studs are each connected to the lateral sides of a vertical reinforcing ring projecting from the side wall of the tank. It can also advantageously include two other elastic studs, the male bodies of which are fixed to the reinforcement rings of the tank, at the top of the latter, and the female bodies of which are each connected by two horizontal pins at one end of the framework.
Selon une première variante de réalisation, chaque plot comprend un matelas élastique constitué par deux plaquettes, par exemple en caoutchouc, interposées entre les parois inclinées et/ou horizontales de son corps mâle et de son corps femelle. Cependant, pour parvenir à une meilleure absorption des efforts exercés tant horizontalement que verticalement, chaque plot peut comprendre, selon une seconde variante de réalisation, un matelas élastique, par exemple en caoutchouc, interposé entre les différentes parois de son corps mâle et de son corps femelle.According to a first alternative embodiment, each pad comprises an elastic mattress constituted by two plates, for example made of rubber, interposed between the inclined and / or horizontal walls of its male body and its female body. However, to achieve better absorption of the forces exerted both horizontally and vertically, each pad may comprise, according to a second variant embodiment, an elastic mattress, for example made of rubber, interposed between the different walls of its male body and of its body female.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 2, le conteneur-citerne comprend tout d'abord une ossature parallélépipédique dont les côtés longitudinaux 1 et transversaux 2 sont délimités par quatre montants verticaux 3 pourvus de sabots 4 à leurs deux extrémités. Ces sabots, qui sont destinés soit à permettre l'accrochage des moyens de levage des engins de manutention, soit à coopérer avec les sabots des conteneurs voisins, sont en fait réalisés avec des formes et des dimensions normalisées tout à fait classiques.As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the tank container comprises first of all a parallelepiped frame, the longitudinal 1 and
A la partie inférieure de chacun de ses côtés longitudinaux 1, l'ossature comporte une poutre en 15 dont les extrémités s'appuient sur les montants 3 correspondants. En se référant en particulier aux figures 1 et 3, on pourra aisément constater que chaque poutre 5 comporte deux ailes horizontales 6 ayant chacune une face externe plane, ainsi qu'une âme verticale 7 pourvue d'ouvertures 8 sur.toute sa longueur.At the lower part of each of its longitudinal sides 1, the framework comprises a beam at 15, the ends of which rest on the
En parties haute et basse de ses côtés transversaux 2, l'ossature comporte également des traverses horizontales 9 reliant les montants correspondants 3.In the upper and lower parts of its
Deux traverses 10 relient par ailleurs les ailes inférieures des poutres 5 afin d'augmenter encore la rigidité de l'ossature.Two
Le conteneur-citerne visible sur les figures 1 et 2 comprend, disposée à l'intérieur de son ossature, une cuve 11 se présentant sous la forme d'un cylindre de révolution fermé à chacune de ses extrémités par une paroi terminale bombée vers l'extérieur. Cette cuve, dont l'axe longitudinal s'étend horizohtalement, comporte de façon classique un trou d'homme 12 centré sur la génératrice supérieure de sa paroi latérale et qui est accessible, grâce à une échelle verticale 13 aboutissant à une passerelle horizontale 14. Elle comporte également une vanne de vidange (non représentée) située sur l'une de ses parois terminales, ainsi que deux anneaux verticaux de renfort 15 faisant saillie sur sa paroi latérale, à égale distance de ses parois terminales.The tank container visible in Figures 1 and 2 comprises, disposed inside its framework, a
On notera ici que la cuve 11 pourrait avoir une section transversale non pas circulaire, mais par exemple elliptique ou ayant une courbure convexe quelconque. De même, ses parois terminales pourraient éventuellement être plates au lieu d'être bombées.It will be noted here that the
Conformément à l'invention, la cuve 11 repose sur l'ossature par l'intermédiaire de plots élastiques 16 dont la structure sera décrite ci-après en référence aux figures 3 à 5. Ces plots qui, dans le mode de réalisation représenté sont au nombre de quatre, sont situés sur les côtés longitudinaux 1 de l'ossature et se font face deux à deux. Il va de soi cependant que leur nombre et leur localisation pourraient être différents si les dimensions du conteneur l'exigeaient.In accordance with the invention, the
Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 3 à 5, chaque plot comporte un matelas élastique 17 interposé entre un corps mâle 18 et un côrps femelle 19 de formes complémentaires. Ces deux corps sont emboîtés l'un dans l'autre et, dans l'exemple représenté, ils comportent respectivement deux parois latérales verticales 20a, 20b s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal de la cuve, deux parois latérales 21a, 21b également inclinées l'une vers l'autre, et une paroi horizontale 22a, 22b s'appuyant sur les quatre parois latérales, au niveau du plus petit côté des parois verticales.As can be seen in Figures 3 to 5, each pad comprises an
On notera ici que les corps mâle et femelle pourraient en variante avoir une paroi latérale tronconique dont la petite base serait fermée par une paroi horizontale circulaire.It will be noted here that the male and female bodies could alternatively have a frustoconical side wall whose small base would be closed by a circular horizontal wall.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur les dessins, le corps mâle 18 est soudé par sa grande base à une plaque 23 fixée par des boulons 24 sur la face externe de l'aile supérieure 6 de la poutre visible 5. Quant au corps femelle 19, il est relié aux côtés latéraux de l'anneau 15 de renfort par l'intermédiaire de deux flasques parallèles 25 soudés sur ses parois latérales inclinées 21b et de deux autres flasques parallèles 26 soudés sur sa paroi verticale 20b qui est tournée vers l'axe longitudinal de la cuve.In the example shown in the drawings, the
Bien entendu, les corps femelles des quatre plots élastiques ne sont pas impérativement fixés aux côtés latéraux des anneaux 15 de renfort. Après un léger déplacement des corps mâles sur les poutres 5, ils pourraient en effet être fixés en d'autres endroits, éventuellement renforcés, de la paroi latérale de la cuve.Of course, the female bodies of the four elastic studs are not necessarily fixed to the lateral sides of the reinforcing
Le matelas élastique 17 que l'on voit particulièrement bien sur les figures 4 et 5 est interposé entre toutes les parois en regard du corps mâle 18 et du corps femelle 19. Dans certains cas, il pourrait toutefois n'être présent qu'entre les parois inclinées 21a et 21b et/ou entre les parois horizontales 22a et 22b de ces deux corps.The
Dans le mode de réalisation envisagé ici, le matelas 17 est réalisé en caoutchouc, mais rien ne s'oppose à ce qu'il soit constitué d'un matériau différent, pourvu que celui-ci soit suffisamment élastique et capable d'absorber tous les efforts qui seraient exercés sur l'ossature.In the embodiment envisaged here, the
Pour être complet, on remarquera par ailleurs que le corps mâle et le corps femelle de chacun des quatre plots élastique 16 sont reliés l'un à l'autre par un organe de liaison tel que le boulon 27 dont la tête s'appuie sur la face externe de la paroi horizontale 22b du corps 19 et dont la tige, qui traverse cette.paroi ainsi que le matelas 17 et la paroi horizontale 22a du corps 18, est vissée dans un écrou 28 prévu sur la face interne de cette dernière paroi 22a.To be complete, it will also be noted that the male body and the female body of each of the four
Le conteneur-citerne qui vient d'être décrit comprend deux autres plots élastiques 29 axés sur la génératrice supérieure des anneaux de renfort 15 et reliés chacun par deux bracons horizontaux 30 aux sabots supérieurs 4 de deux montants 3 délimitant un côté transversal de l'ossature. Ces deux plots supplémentaires ont une structure similaire à celle des plots 16 et n'ont donc pas à être décrits en détail ici. On notera simplement qu'ils comportent un corps mâle 31 fixé sur l'anneau de renfort correspondant 15, un corps femelle 32 emboîté sur le corps mâle et un matelas élastique 33 interposé entre les parois en regard des corps mâle et femelle. En se référant â la figure 6, on remarquera que la paroi horizontale du corps femelle est solidaire d'une plaque 34 sur laquelle s'appuient les deux bracons 30 et qu'un boulon 35 relie le corps mâle au corps femelle. On remarquera également que les parois verticales des corps mâle et femelle des plots 29 sont parallèles à l'axe longitudinal de la cuve, tout comme le sont celles des corps mâle et femelle des plots 16.The tank container which has just been described comprises two other
Il convient enfin de remarquer que les plots 16 et 29 ne font pas saillie sur les faces latérales de l'ossature et qu'ils sont ainsi protégés contre d'éventuelles détériorations lors de la manutention du conteneur-citerne.Finally, it should be noted that the
Les plots élastiques réalisés conformément à la présente invention assurent une protection efficace de la cuve contre les différents efforts qui pourraient s'exercer sur la citerne lors de la manutention ou du transport du conteneur. Ils ont en outre l'avantage de permettre une solidarisation et une séparation simples et rapides de la cuve et de l'ossature. Il suffit en effet de mettre en place les boulons 27 et 35 pour réaliser la première opération et de les enlever pour réaliser la seconde.The elastic pads produced in accordance with the present invention provide effective protection of the tank against the various forces which could be exerted on the tank during the handling or transport of the container. They also have the advantage of allowing fast and simple fastening and separation of the tank and the framework. It suffices to put the
