Definitions
- the invention relates to an insert for at least one filling element for explosive containers with at least one filling or outlet opening according to the first part of claim 1.
- the expanded metal can also be formed into individual layers in such a way that they can be subsequently introduced through inlet or outlet openings in the container to be secured.
- individual expanded metal layers e.g. be wound into thin, cylindrical bales or balls.
- the expanded metal layers Since the explosion-proofing effect of the filler elements is primarily dependent on their ability to dissipate heat from all sides, the expanded metal layers must be wrapped so tightly that the layers in the individual bonds can contact each other. As a result, the wound expanded metal layers each represent an already relatively compact body. Since the individual expanded metal windings must also lie against one another in the interior of the container, those known expanded metal inserts also take up a considerable volume inside the container, which undesirably affects the free filling volume of the container to a great extent.
- Filling elements to be subsequently introduced into a container opening are also known from US Pat. No. 3,349,953.
- a disadvantage of these filling elements is that they are each designed as cage-like hollow bodies, which only allow relatively few contact areas when they are in contact with one another. In addition, they are rigid in themselves, so that their maximum expansion inside the container can at most exceed the size of the container opening in one direction.
- the object of the present invention is primarily to increase the number of contact points between the filled elements with the least possible use of material, in order to thereby achieve the most evenly distributed and narrow heat-dissipating possible with the least possible loss of free container volume To achieve a network with good adaptability to the container interior.
- the filling elements at least in the interior of the container, should have dimensions which are larger than the container filling opening in more than one direction.
- the filling elements can e.g. be constructed in a brush-like manner by tufts arranged in tufts and consist of a linear support element to which the louvers are attached in a projecting manner.
- Such filling elements constructed in a brush-like manner can be introduced through a filling opening even if they have to be compressed briefly during the introduction. This is particularly important when loading gas containers with a narrow opening.
- the laminated filling elements return to their original shape inside the container; they penetrate each other in their areas close to the surface, but the mutual approximation is limited to the necessary extent. For cubic containers in particular, it is even possible to introduce a single, large brush-like element, taking advantage of its elasticity, which fills the entire container cavity.
- Filling elements with one or two wires as a supporting part can be produced in such a size that the introduction of only one large element is sufficient to secure a fuel tank, tank vehicle, etc. For the first time, this has the advantage that these large elements can be removed from the tank quickly and easily, which is essential for tank cleaning. In addition, customized, inexpensive problem solutions can be achieved by varying the element sizes.
- the filling elements according to the invention can be produced from different materials which, on the one hand, ensure rapid heat dissipation or electrostatic dissipation and, on the other hand, give the filling elements a structure which makes it possible to divide the tank contents into small sub-areas with a small loss of usable volume.
- stainless steel or tinfoil can be used; For better chemical stabilization, these metals can be coated with galvanic layers.
- plastics such as polyurethane or polysulfones, their conductivity preferably being sufficiently increased by adding graphite.
- the plastic parts can be manufactured by spray cutting, casting or stamping technology.
- the filling elements introduced through the filling and outlet opening of the container that remains installed must at least capture the entire free gas volume of the tank, and therefore do not compress significantly under the influence of movements of the tank contents and filling elements above.
- adjacent filling elements have to touch each other in sufficient numbers along their adjacent areas so that there is no interruption in the heat dissipation or the electrical dissipation and thus reduced explosion safety.
- the structure of the filling element (1) shown in Fig. 1 corresponds exactly to that of a bottle brush: between two wires (3), which are twisted together, lamellae (2) are attached at intervals or in tufts, which are used as supporting parts for the lamellae ( 2) serving wires (3) diverge radially.
- the tufts of lamellae (2) can also be arranged on a single wire (3), as shown in FIG. 2. 1 and 2 are introduced as a continuous chain into any laying forms in the containers, the lamella tufts according to FIG. 5 are intended to be inserted individually through the container opening.
- a continuous web (5) could be formed in a strip and the lamella structure could only be cut into the strip on both sides, so that by twisting this strip or several strips around a wire or two wires, the lamella formation can be done stably on all sides.
- the shape of the lamellae can diverge within wide limits, the number, size and rigidity of the lamellae each having to be selected such that adjacent filler elements (1) form sufficient contact areas, but on the other hand do not penetrate so far that a Large additional weight due to the filling or the usable tank content is significantly reduced.
- the shape of the supporting part for the slats (2) does not have to be linear.
- such lamellas can also be arranged on metal surfaces, which in turn can be cylindrical or spherical (FIG. 8). In this case, however, it is necessary to let lamellae also protrude into the interior of the hollow body formed by the supporting parts, so that rapid heat and electrical dissipation can also take place from the interior of this hollow body.
- FIG. 7 shows a safety bottle (6), for example filled with alcohol, such as is used for lighting a charcoal grill in the household and which is no longer explosive here by filling the inventive filling elements (1) through the opening.
- This safety bottle (6) for grilling can of course also be made of plastic.
- the explosion suppression elements according to the invention are for all types of motor vehicles and their fuel tanks, military vehicles and other usable driven vehicles as well as for all types of aircraft and their fuel tanks as well as for all types of gas tanks, gas bottles for the industrial and chemical sectors as well as for household and Vehicle area ideally suited!

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine aus mindestens einem Füllelement bestehende Einlage für explosionsgefährdete, mindestens eine Einfüll- oder Auslassöffnung aufweisende Behälter nach dem ersten Teil des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an insert for at least one filling element for explosive containers with at least one filling or outlet opening according to the first part of claim 1.
Aus der US-A-3 356 256 und insbesondere der GB-A-2 028 129 ist es bereits bekannt, in explosionsgefährdete Behälter ein räumliches Gitterwerk aus Metall, insbesondere Aluminium, einzubringen, welches räumliche Überhitzungen durch rasche Wärmeableitung verhindert und den Behälter damit explosionssicher macht. Bei den bekannten Einrichtungen wird das erforderliche Gitterwerk aus Lagen von Streckmetall hergestellt, die wie Tuchballen aufgewickelt und nach der US-A-3 356 256 bereits bei der Herstellung des Tanks in diesen eingebracht werden.From US-A-3 356 256 and in particular GB-A-2 028 129 it is already known to incorporate a spatial lattice made of metal, in particular aluminum, into explosion-prone containers, which prevents spatial overheating by rapid heat dissipation and thus the container is explosion-proof makes. In the known devices, the required latticework is produced from layers of expanded metal, which are wound up like bales of cloth and, according to US Pat. No. 3,356,256, are introduced into the tank during the manufacture thereof.
Nach der GB-A-2 028 129 kann das Streckmetall auch so zu einzelnen Lagen geformt sein, dass diese nachträglich durch in dem zu sichernden Behälter vorhandene Einlass- oder Auslassöffnungen einbringbar sind. Zu diesem Zweck können einzelne Streckmetallagen z.B. zu dünnen, zylindrischen Ballen oder Bällen aufgewickelt sein.According to GB-A-2 028 129, the expanded metal can also be formed into individual layers in such a way that they can be subsequently introduced through inlet or outlet openings in the container to be secured. For this purpose, individual expanded metal layers e.g. be wound into thin, cylindrical bales or balls.
Da die explosionskemmende Wirkung der Füllelemente in erster Linie von deren Fähigkeit, allseits Wärme abzuleiten, abhängig ist, müssen die Streckmetallagen so eng gewickelt sein, dass die Lagen in den einzelnen Bindungen gegeneinander kontaktieren können. Dadurch stellen die gewickelten Streckmetallagen jede für sich bereits relativ kompakte Körper dar. Da die einzelnen Streckmetallwicklungen darüber hinaus auch im Inneren des Behälters noch aneinanderliegen müssen, nehmen jene bekannten Streckmetalleinlagen auch im inneren des Behälters ein erhebliches Volumen ein, das das Freifüllvolumen des Behälters in unerwünscht hohem Masse einschränkt.Since the explosion-proofing effect of the filler elements is primarily dependent on their ability to dissipate heat from all sides, the expanded metal layers must be wrapped so tightly that the layers in the individual bonds can contact each other. As a result, the wound expanded metal layers each represent an already relatively compact body. Since the individual expanded metal windings must also lie against one another in the interior of the container, those known expanded metal inserts also take up a considerable volume inside the container, which undesirably affects the free filling volume of the container to a great extent.
Ein weiterer Nachteil der kompakt auszuführenden Streckmetalleinlagen besteht darin, dass sie durch kleine Einfüllöffnungen hindurch nicht in alle Bereiche des Behälterinneren einbringbar sind. Das gilt besonders dann, wenn ein Teil der Streckmetalleinlagen bereits in das Behälterinnere eingebracht ist, da dieser den Nachschub der restlichen Streckmetalleinlagen behindert.Another disadvantage of the compact expanded metal inserts is that they cannot be inserted into all areas of the interior of the container through small filling openings. This is especially true if some of the expanded metal inlays have already been introduced into the interior of the container, since this hinders the replenishment of the remaining expanded metal inlays.
Nachträglich in eine Behälteröffnung einzubringende Füllelemente sind darüber hinaus auch noch aus der US-A-3 349 953 bekannt. Ungünstig bei diesen Füllelementen ist, dass diese jeweils als käfigartige Hohlkörper ausgebildet sind, die bei einem Aneinanderliegen nur relativ wenig Kontaktbereiche ermöglichen. Ausserdem sind sie in sich starr wodurch ihre maximale Ausdehnung im Inneren des Behälters die Grösse der Behälteröffnung allenfalls in einer Richtung überschreiten kann.Filling elements to be subsequently introduced into a container opening are also known from US Pat. No. 3,349,953. A disadvantage of these filling elements is that they are each designed as cage-like hollow bodies, which only allow relatively few contact areas when they are in contact with one another. In addition, they are rigid in themselves, so that their maximum expansion inside the container can at most exceed the size of the container opening in one direction.
Ausgehend von insbesondere den zuletzt als bekannt beschriebenen Füllelementen besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung in erster Linie darin, die Anzahl der Berührungsstellen zwischen den eingefüllten Elementen bei möglichst geringem Materialeinsatz zu erhöhen, um dadurch bei möglichst niedrigem Verlust an freiem Behältervolumen ein möglichst gleichmässig verteiltes enges wärmeableitendes Netzwerk bei guter Anpassungsfähigkeit an Behälterinnenmasse zu erreichen.On the basis of the filling elements last described as known in particular, the object of the present invention is primarily to increase the number of contact points between the filled elements with the least possible use of material, in order to thereby achieve the most evenly distributed and narrow heat-dissipating possible with the least possible loss of free container volume To achieve a network with good adaptability to the container interior.
Ausserdem sollen die Füllelemente zumindest im Inneren des Behälters Ausdehnungen aufweisenkönnen, die in mehr als einer Richtung grösser als die Behältereinfüllöffnung sind.In addition, the filling elements, at least in the interior of the container, should have dimensions which are larger than the container filling opening in more than one direction.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Ausbildung des zumindest einen Füllelementes nach den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved by designing the at least one filling element according to the characterizing features of patent claim 1.
Gemäss dieser Lösung können die Füllelemente z.B. durch büschelförmig angeordnete Lamellen bürstenförmig aufgebaut sein und dabei aus einem linienförmigen Tragelement bestehen, an dem die Lamellen abstehend befestigt sind. Solche bürstenartig aufgebauten Füllelemente lassen sich selbst dann durch eine Einfüllöffnung einbringen, wenn sie während der Einbringung kurzfristig komprimiert werden müssen. Dies ist insbesondere bei der Beschickung von Gasbehältern mit enger Öffnung von Bedeutung. Im Inneren des Behälters nehmen die lamellierten Füllelemente wieder ihre ursprüngliche Gestalt an; sie durchdringen sich gegenseitig in ihren oberflächennahmen Bereichen, wobei die gegenseitige Annäherung jedoch auf das notwendige Mass beschränkt ist. Insbesondere für kubische Behälter ist es sogar möglich, ein einziges grosses bürstenähnliches Element unter Ausnutzung dessen Elastizität einzuführen, welches den gesamten Behälterhohlraum ausfüllt. Es ist ohne weiteres möglich, durch Abstimmung von Zahl und Dimensionierung der Lamellen einerseits zu erreichen, dass die erforderlichen Wärmebrücken bzw. elektrisch ableitenden Ketten zwischen den Füllelementen entstehen, dass andererseits das insgesamt durch die Füllelemente verdrängte Flüssigkeits- oder Gasvolumen in der Grössenordnung von ca. 1,7 bis 3% des Behältervolumens bleibt.According to this solution, the filling elements can e.g. be constructed in a brush-like manner by tufts arranged in tufts and consist of a linear support element to which the louvers are attached in a projecting manner. Such filling elements constructed in a brush-like manner can be introduced through a filling opening even if they have to be compressed briefly during the introduction. This is particularly important when loading gas containers with a narrow opening. The laminated filling elements return to their original shape inside the container; they penetrate each other in their areas close to the surface, but the mutual approximation is limited to the necessary extent. For cubic containers in particular, it is even possible to introduce a single, large brush-like element, taking advantage of its elasticity, which fills the entire container cavity. It is easily possible, on the one hand, by coordinating the number and dimensioning of the lamellae, to ensure that the required thermal bridges or electrically conductive chains are created between the filling elements, and on the other hand that the total volume of liquid or gas displaced by the filling elements is of the order of approx. 1.7 to 3% of the container volume remains.
Füllelemente mit einen oder zwei Drähten als Tragteil können in derartiger Grösse erzeugt werden, dass auch die Einführung von nur einem Grosselement genügt, um einen Treibstofftank, Tankfahrzeug usw. zu besichern. Das hat erstmals den Vorteil, dass diese Grosselemente vom Tank schnell und leicht wieder entfernt werden können, was für die Tankreinigung wesentlich ist. Ausserdem können durch die Variierung der Elementgrössen massgeschneiderte, preisgünstige Problemlösungen erzielt werden.Filling elements with one or two wires as a supporting part can be produced in such a size that the introduction of only one large element is sufficient to secure a fuel tank, tank vehicle, etc. For the first time, this has the advantage that these large elements can be removed from the tank quickly and easily, which is essential for tank cleaning. In addition, customized, inexpensive problem solutions can be achieved by varying the element sizes.
Die erfindungsgemässen Füllelemente können aus verschiedenen Materialien hergestellt werden, welche einerseits rasche Wärmeableitung bzw. elektrostatische Ableitung gewährleisten und andererseits den Füllelementen eine Struktur verleihen, welche es ermöglicht, mit geringem Verlust an nutzbarem Volumen den Tankinhalt in kleine Teilbereiche zu unterteilen.The filling elements according to the invention can be produced from different materials which, on the one hand, ensure rapid heat dissipation or electrostatic dissipation and, on the other hand, give the filling elements a structure which makes it possible to divide the tank contents into small sub-areas with a small loss of usable volume.
Ausser Aluminium, insbesondere anodisiertem Aluminium, kommen rostfreier Stahl oder Stanniol in Betracht; zur besseren chemischen Stabilisierung können diese Metalle mit galvanischen Schichten überzogen werden. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, Kunststoffe wie Polyurethan oder Polysulfone zu verwenden, wobei ihre Leitfähigkeit vorzugsweise durch Graphitbeimengung hinreichend erhöht wird. Die Kunststoffteile können dabei durch Spritz-Schneid-, Giess- oder Stanztechnik hergestellt werden.In addition to aluminum, especially anodized aluminum, stainless steel or tinfoil can be used; For better chemical stabilization, these metals can be coated with galvanic layers. However, it is also possible to use plastics such as polyurethane or polysulfones, their conductivity preferably being sufficiently increased by adding graphite. The plastic parts can be manufactured by spray cutting, casting or stamping technology.
Für die Füllelemente kommen grundsätzlich die verschiedensten Formen zur Verwirklichung der Erfindung in Betracht. Die durch die Einfüll- und Auslassöffnung des eingebaut bleibenden Behälters eingebrachten Füllelemente müssen zumindest das ganze freie Gasvolumen des Tanks erfassen, sich unter dem Einfluss von Bewegungen des Tankinhalts sowie darüberliegender Füllelemente also nicht wesentlich zusammendrücken. Andererseits müssen benachbarte Füllelemente sich aber entlang ihrer benachbarten Bereiche an hinreichend vielen Stellen berühren, damit es nicht dort zu einer Unterbrechung der Wärmeableitung bzw. der elektrischen Ableitung und damit zu verminderter Explosionssicherheit kommt.A wide variety of forms are fundamentally possible for realizing the invention for the filling elements. The filling elements introduced through the filling and outlet opening of the container that remains installed must at least capture the entire free gas volume of the tank, and therefore do not compress significantly under the influence of movements of the tank contents and filling elements above. On the other hand, adjacent filling elements have to touch each other in sufficient numbers along their adjacent areas so that there is no interruption in the heat dissipation or the electrical dissipation and thus reduced explosion safety.

Der Aufbau des in Fig. 1 dargestellten Füllelementes (1) entspricht durchaus jenem einer Flaschenbürste: zwischen zwei Drähten (3), die miteinander verdrillt werden, werden in Abständen oder büschelweise Lamellen (2) angebracht, die von den als Tragteil für die Lamellen (2) dienenden Drähten (3) aus radial divergieren. Auch an einem Einzeldraht (3) können wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, die Büschel von Lamellen (2) angeordnet werden. Während die Füllelemente nach Fig. 1 und 2 als fortlaufende Kette in beliebige Verlegeformen in die Behälter eingeführt werden, sind die Lamellenbüschel nach Fig. 5 dazu bestimmt, einzeln durch die Behälteröffnung eingeworfen zu werden.The structure of the filling element (1) shown in Fig. 1 corresponds exactly to that of a bottle brush: between two wires (3), which are twisted together, lamellae (2) are attached at intervals or in tufts, which are used as supporting parts for the lamellae ( 2) serving wires (3) diverge radially. The tufts of lamellae (2) can also be arranged on a single wire (3), as shown in FIG. 2. 1 and 2 are introduced as a continuous chain into any laying forms in the containers, the lamella tufts according to FIG. 5 are intended to be inserted individually through the container opening.
Damit eine besondere Stabilität der Lamellen erreicht wird, könnte wie in Fig. 3 bzw. 4 gezeigt wird, bei einem Streifen ein durchlaufender Steg (5) ausgebildet sein und die Lamellenstruktur in den Streifen beidseitig nur eingeschnitten werden, so dass durch Verdrehen dieses Streifens oder mehrerer Streifen um einen Draht bzw. zwei Drähte die Lamellenabstehung nach allen Seiten stabil erfolgen kann.3 or 4, a continuous web (5) could be formed in a strip and the lamella structure could only be cut into the strip on both sides, so that by twisting this strip or several strips around a wire or two wires, the lamella formation can be done stably on all sides.
Wie Fig. 6 zeigt, kann die Form der Lamellen in weiten Grenzen divergieren, wobei Zahl, Grösse und Steifigkeit der Lamellen jeweils so zu wählen sind, dass aneinanderliegende Füllelemente (1) hinreichende Kontaktflächen ausbilden, andererseits sich aber nicht so weit durchdringen, dass ein grosses Zusatzgewicht durch die Füllung entsteht bzw. der nutzbare Tankinhalt wesentlich verringert wird.As shown in Fig. 6, the shape of the lamellae can diverge within wide limits, the number, size and rigidity of the lamellae each having to be selected such that adjacent filler elements (1) form sufficient contact areas, but on the other hand do not penetrate so far that a Large additional weight due to the filling or the usable tank content is significantly reduced.
Die Form des Tragteiles für die Lamellen (2) muss keineswegs linienförmig sein. Lediglich beispielsweise sei erwähnt, dass solche Lamellen auch auf Metallflächen angeordnet sein können, die wiederum zylindrisch oder kugelförmig (Fig. 8) ausgebildet sein können. In diesem Fall ist es allerdings notwendig, auch ins Innere der durch die Tragteile gebildeten Hohlkörper Lamellen abstehen zu lassen, damit auch aus dem Inneren dieser Hohlkörper eine rasche Wärme- und elektrische Ableitung erfolgen kann.The shape of the supporting part for the slats (2) does not have to be linear. For example, it should be mentioned that such lamellas can also be arranged on metal surfaces, which in turn can be cylindrical or spherical (FIG. 8). In this case, however, it is necessary to let lamellae also protrude into the interior of the hollow body formed by the supporting parts, so that rapid heat and electrical dissipation can also take place from the interior of this hollow body.
Wesentlich für die Erfindung ist nicht die Verwendung neuer Materialien für die Behälterfüllung, sondern die Verwendung dieser Materialien in einer Form, welche ihre Einführung in den Behälter ermöglicht.What is essential to the invention is not the use of new materials for filling the container, but the use of these materials in a form which enables them to be introduced into the container.
Zur Erstellung der Ableitungskette ist es notwendig, dass sich die einzelnen Elemente berühren, siehe z.B. Fig. 7.To create the derivation chain, it is necessary that the individual elements touch, see e.g. Fig. 7.
Verschiedene Behälterarten werden durch die Erfindung überhaupt erst mittels eingefüllter Metallstrukturen gegen Explosion schützbar. Als Beispiel hierfür seien kunststoffgeblasene Treibstofftaks oder auch kubische Kunststoffbehälter für den Transport gefährlicher Güter oder auch z.B. Gasflaschen genannt, wo jeweils die Herstellung der Füllung im Zuge des Erzeugungsvorganges unmöglich wäre. Als Beispiel hierfür zeigt Fig. 7 eine Sicherheitsflasche (6), beispielsweise mit Spiritus gefüllt, wie sie zum Anzünden etwa eines Holzkohlengrills im Haushalt Verwendung findet und welche durch das Einfüllen erfindungsgemässer Füllelemente (1) durch die Öffnung hier nicht mehr explosionsgefährdet ist. Diese Sicherheitsflasche (6) zum Grillen kann natürlich auch aus Kunststoff erzeugt werden.Different types of containers can only be protected against explosion by the invention by means of filled metal structures. Examples include plastic-blown fuel tacks or cubic plastic containers for the transport of dangerous goods or e.g. Called gas bottles, where the production of the filling would be impossible in the course of the production process. As an example of this, FIG. 7 shows a safety bottle (6), for example filled with alcohol, such as is used for lighting a charcoal grill in the household and which is no longer explosive here by filling the inventive filling elements (1) through the opening. This safety bottle (6) for grilling can of course also be made of plastic.
Die erfindungsgemässen Explosionsunterdrükkungselemente sind für sämtliche Arten von Kraftfahrzeugen und deren Treibstoffbehälter, Militärfahrzeuge und für sonstige Zwecke verwendbare, angetriebene Fahrzeuge sowie für jegliche Art von Luftfahrzeugen und deren Treibstoffbehälter sowie für jegliche Art von Gastanks, Gasflaschen für den industriellen und chemischen Bereich sowie für Haushalts- und Fahrzeugbereich bestens geeignet!The explosion suppression elements according to the invention are for all types of motor vehicles and their fuel tanks, military vehicles and other usable driven vehicles as well as for all types of aircraft and their fuel tanks as well as for all types of gas tanks, gas bottles for the industrial and chemical sectors as well as for household and Vehicle area ideally suited!
