Abstract

The bung barrel has solid carrying and transport rings 1 which are shaped integrally out of the barrel shell near to the end surfaces of the barrel, and in which the horizontal lower edge 2 of the ring and the vertical inner wall 3 of the ring form the resting surfaces for the barrel grippers. Each carrying and transport ring is connected integrally to the barrel via a connection ring 4, formed from an axial extension of the cylindrical shell part of the barrel, the groove base between the connection ring and the shell part 5, rising conically towards the end region 6 of the barrel, being arranged with spacing below the horizontal resting surface of the carrying and transport ring.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Spundfaß aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff mit mindestens einem am Faßmantel in Nähe der zugeordneten Faßendfläche liegenden, im Querschnitt massiven Trage- und Transportring mit einer waagerechten und einer senkrechten Anlagefläche für die Greiferarme eines einge­setzten Faßgreifers, wobei der Trage- und Transportring über einen sich an die waagerechte Anlagefläche anschließender in den Faßmantel einlaufenden Verbindungsring mit dem Faß einstückig verbunden ist, und bei dem der sich aus der Ring­nut erhebende Mantelbereich konisch gegen die Faßendfläche ansteigt.The invention relates to a bung drum made of thermoplastic material with at least one support and transport ring with a horizontal and a vertical contact surface for the gripper arms of an inserted drum gripper lying on the drum jacket in the vicinity of the assigned drum end surface, with a horizontal and a vertical contact surface, the support and transport ring being one over the other connected to the horizontal contact surface in the barrel jacket connecting ring is integrally connected to the barrel, and in which the jacket region rising from the annular groove rises conically against the barrel end surface.

Dabei kann es sich um ein Spundfaß handeln, das in seiner Gesamtheit im Blasverfahren hergestellt ist, und bei dem die Trage- und Transportringe bei der Herstellung einstückig aus dem Faßmantel ausgeformt sind. Es sind aber auch Spund­fässer bekannt, bei denen der rohrförmige Faßmantelteil und die Faßendbereiche getrennt voneinander hergestellt werden. Die im Spritzgußverfahren hergestellten Endbereiche mit den daran befindlichen Trage- und Transportringen werden in einem weiteren Arbeitsgang auf den rohrförmigen Faßrumpf auf­geschweißt.This can be a bung barrel, which is manufactured in its entirety in the blowing process, and in which the carrying and transport rings are integrally formed from the barrel jacket during manufacture. However, sheet drums are also known in which the tubular barrel casing part and the barrel end regions are produced separately from one another. The end areas produced by the injection molding process with the carrying and transport rings located thereon are welded onto the tubular barrel body in a further operation.

Üblicherweise haben derartige Trage- und Transportringe entsprechend dem DE-GM 76 00 621 einen Querschnitt mit einem waagerechten und einem senkrechten Steg. Der senkrechte Steg ist mit seinem freien Ende zur jeweiligen Kopffläche des Fasses ausgerichtet und der waagerechte Steg aus dem Faßmantel radial nach außen ausgeformt. Weil bei dieser Ausführung die Beherrschung im kritischen Schweißnahtbereich schwierig war, hat man den Trage- und Transportring so ge­steltet, daß die kritischen Schweißzonen von Biegekräften weitgehend entlastet sind, der Ring in Umfangsrichtung elastisch und damit gegenüber dem Faßmantel bei Schlagbe­anspruchung verformbar wird, und die Anbindung des Trage- und Transportringes an den Faßmantel nachgiebig ausgebildet wird. Zu diesem Zweck wurde der Trage- und Transportring über einen sich an die waagerechte Anlagefläche anschließenden, in den Faßmantel einlaufenden ringförmigen Verbindungssteg mit dem Faß verbunden.Such support and transport rings according to DE-GM 76 00 621 usually have a cross section with a horizontal and a vertical web. The vertical web is aligned with its free end to the respective top surface of the barrel and the horizontal web is formed radially outward from the barrel jacket. Because it was difficult to master the critical weld seam area in this version, the carrying and transport ring was designed so that the critical welding zones are largely relieved of bending forces, the ring becomes elastic in the circumferential direction and thus deformable in relation to the barrel jacket when subjected to impact stress, and the connection of the support and transport ring is formed resiliently on the barrel jacket. For this purpose, the carrying and transport ring was connected to the barrel via an annular connecting web adjoining the horizontal contact surface and entering the barrel jacket.

Der ringförmige Verbindungssteg wird nur noch durch un­schädliche Zugbelastungen belastet, die in den Faßmantel beim Tragen und Transportieren des Fasses im Faßgreifer eingeleitet werden.The annular connecting web is only loaded by harmless tensile loads which are introduced into the barrel jacket when the barrel is being carried and transported in the barrel gripper.

Wenn der ringförmige Verbindungssteg des Trage- und Trans­portringes aus Gründen einer möglichst elastischen Anbindung in einem spitzen Winkel zur Faßachse in den Faßmantel ein­läuft, endet der Nutengrund zwischen dem Trage- und Trans­portring und dem benachbarten konisch ansteigenden Mantel­teil auf der Höhenebene der waagerechten Anlagefläche des Ringes. Damit wird der Raum zwischen dieser Fläche und dem konischen Mantelteil des Fasses sehr beengt, zumal die Stapelkräfte, die beim Aufstapeln eines gefüllten weiteren Fasses auf die Faßendfläche entstehen, über die Konusfläche direkt in den übrigen Faßmantel abzuleiten sind. Der DE-OS 35 26 921 ist eine solche Ausführung zu entnehmen.If the annular connecting web of the carrying and transport ring runs into the barrel jacket at an acute angle to the barrel axis in the interests of a connection that is as elastic as possible, the bottom of the groove ends between the carrying and transport ring and the adjacent conically rising jacket part on the level of the horizontal contact surface of the ring. So that the space between this surface and the conical jacket part of the barrel is very narrow, especially since the stacking forces that arise when stacking a full barrel on the barrel end surface are to be dissipated directly into the remaining barrel jacket via the cone surface. Such an embodiment can be found in DE-OS 35 26 921.

Diese Beengung erschwert den Einsatz eines Faßgreifers, der deswegen eine besondere Form erhalten muß. Um den Ein­satz beliebiger Faßgreifer, insbesondere auch derjenigen für Blechfässer verwenden zu können, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß der Nutengrund zwischen dem Verbindungsring und dem konisch gegen den Faßendbereich ansteigenden Mantel­teil mit Abstand unterhalb der waagerechten Anlagefläche des Trage- und Transportringes angeordnet ist, wobei der Verbindungsring aus einer axialen Verlängerung des zylin­drischen Faßmantelteils ausgeformt ist.This constriction makes it difficult to use a barrel gripper, which must therefore be given a special shape. In order to be able to use any drum grippers, in particular those for sheet metal drums, it is proposed according to the invention that the bottom of the groove between the connecting ring and the casing part which rises conically against the end region of the drum is arranged at a distance below the horizontal contact surface of the carrying and transport ring, the connecting ring is formed from an axial extension of the cylindrical barrel jacket part.

Durch diese Maßnahme ist für Faßgreifer üblicher Ausführungen genügend Platz geschaffen, um unbehindert den oberen Grei­ferarm hinter die senkrechte Anlagefläche des Trage- und Transportringes einzusetzen. Es ist darüberhinaus gewähr­leistet, daß die radiale Außenkante des Trage- und Transport­ringes unverändert bleibt, denn das ist die Voraussetzung für die Palettierbarkeit des Fasses.This measure provides enough space for barrel grippers of conventional designs in order to freely insert the upper gripper arm behind the vertical contact surface of the carrying and transport ring. It is also guaranteed that the radial outer edge of the carrying and transport ring remains unchanged, because this is the prerequisite for the ability to palletize the barrel.

Aber auch das manuelle Handling wird durch die Vergrößerung des Eingreifraumes wesentlich erleichtert. Durch die Ver­längerung des Verbindungsringes gegenüber einem älteren Vor­schlag, wonach der Nutengrund zwischen dem Trage- und Trans­portring und dem benachbarten Mantelteil auf der Höhenebene der waagerechten Anlagefläche endet, wird als besonderer Vorteil die in Umfangsrichtung elastische Anbindung an den Faßmantel begünstigt.However, manual handling is also made considerably easier by increasing the intervention space. By extending the connecting ring compared to an older proposal that the bottom of the groove between the carrying and transport ring and the adjacent jacket part ends at the level of the horizontal contact surface, the circumferential elastic connection to the barrel jacket is favored as a particular advantage.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verlängerung der Höhe des Verbindungsringes ergeben sich gleiche Wandstärken im zylindrischen Bereich des Mantels, im benachbarten Be­reich des konisch gegen die Faßendfläche ansteigenden Mantelteils und im Bereich des Verbindungsringes.When extending the height of the connecting ring according to the invention, the same wall thicknesses result in the cylindrical region of the jacket, in the adjacent area of the jacket part which rises conically against the end face of the barrel and in the area of the connecting ring.

Insbesondere die möglicherweise noch reduzierte Wand­stärke im Verbindungsring und die damit erreichte Nach­giebigkeit bewirkt beim Seitenfall eines gefüllten Fasses, daß in allen beteiligten Wandquerschnitten gleiche De­formationsspannungen entstehen, so daß keine schädlichen Spitzenspannungen mit der Folge von Mantelrissen auftreten können.In particular, the possibly still reduced wall thickness in the connecting ring and the resilience achieved in this way, in the event of a filled barrel falling sideways, the same deformation stresses occur in all wall cross sections involved, so that no harmful peak stresses with the consequence of jacket cracks can occur.

Außerdem wird durch die Verlängerung des Verbindungsringes beim Seitenfall des Fasses der Verschwenkweg des auf den Boden auftreffenden Ringteiles in die Deformationslage ver­kürzt, und damit die Winkeländerung im Übergang des Ver­bindungsringes in dem zylindrischen Mantelteil kleiner. Die Verkleinerung der Formänderungswege und -winkel trägt zum Abbau der Materialspannungen bei.In addition, by extending the connecting ring when the barrel falls, the pivoting path of the ring part striking the ground into the deformation position is shortened, and thus the change in angle in the transition of the connecting ring in the cylindrical jacket part is smaller. The reduction in the deformation paths and angles contributes to the reduction of material stresses.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung endet die Faßendfläche unterhalb der Ebene der waagerechten Anlagefläche des Trage- und Transportringes. Dabei entspricht die Höhenlänge des konischen Mantelbereichs mindestens der Ringhöhe des Trage- und Transportringes. Diese Höhenlänge muß eingehalten werden um eine ausreichende Nachgiebigkeit beim Seitenfall eines gefüllten Fasses zu gewährleisten.In an embodiment of the invention, the barrel end surface ends below the level of the horizontal contact surface of the carrying and transport ring. The height length of the conical jacket area corresponds at least to the ring height of the carrying and transport ring. This height length must be observed in order to ensure sufficient flexibility when a filled barrel falls sideways.

Es empfiehlt sich also, einen sich aus der Ringnut erhebenden konisch in die Faßendfläche ansteigenden Mantelbereich beizubehalten, um eine sogenannte Knautsch­zone zu gewährleisten, in der die hauptsächliche Aufprall­energie aufgezehrt wird. Dies geschieht in der Weise, daß der Nutengrund des jeweiligen Trage- und Transportringes mit Abstand unterhalb der waagerechten Anlagefläche ange­ordnet wird. Die Höhe des konischen Mantelbereichs mit der anschließenden Kopfendfläche kann mit Vorteil bis in die Ebene der obere Randfläche des Trage- und Transportringes und darüber angehoben sein. Bei Absenkung der Faßendfläche unterhalb der waagerechten Anlagefläche des Trage- und Trans­portringes sollte - wie oben schon ausgeführt - die Mindest­höhe des konischen Mantelteiles mindestens der Höhe des Trage- und Transportringes entsprechen.It is therefore advisable to maintain a jacket region that rises conically from the annular groove and rises into the barrel end surface in order to ensure a so-called crumple zone in which the main impact energy is consumed. This is done in such a way that the groove base of the respective carrying and transport ring is arranged at a distance below the horizontal contact surface. The height of the conical jacket area with the adjoining head end surface can advantageously be raised to and above the level of the upper edge surface of the carrying and transport ring. When lowering the barrel end surface below the horizontal contact surface of the carrying and transport ring, the minimum height of the conical jacket part should at least correspond to the height of the carrying and transport ring, as already explained above.

Eine geringförmige Unterschreitung dieser Höhenlage kann bei leichteren Gebinden bei Einhaltung einer ausreichenden Knautschzone vorgenommen werden.A slight drop below this altitude can be undertaken in the case of lighter containers provided that a sufficient crumple zone is observed.
