Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container, in particular a silo container, consisting of a plurality of wall parts provided with horizontal beads, at least two wall parts being connected to one another by at least one vertically standing support element, and the legs of the support element designed as a supporting plate for the positive reception of the with continuous, horizontal beads provided wall parts have corresponding beads.
  • Silo containers often consist of separate silo chambers for holding different types of bulk goods, eg types of grain.
  • the side winches with beads are held by square supports, each of which has a strip on its side facing the wall, which is designed according to the contour of the wall part provided with beads, so that there is a positive connection in the vertical direction.
  • the individual wall elements of a wall part arranged one above the other are screwed or welded together.
  • Such a silo is extremely complex to manufacture because a lot of welding work is required due to the arrangement of the strips on the support.
  • the supports provided with strips are difficult to galvanize, if at all for the purpose of rust protection is an absolute necessity.
  • a relatively large amount of storage space is required for the transport of the supports, which makes such a container even more expensive.
  • Another disadvantage is the complex assembly, which is due to the fact that the individual wall elements of a wall part must be screwed or welded together at their horizontal joint.
  • the container known from EP-00 77 2 67 has wall parts with vertical beads; In addition, there is no positive connection of the wall parts with the corner girders in the vertical direction.
  • a silo container construction is known in which the wall parts have trough-shaped beads for stiffening in the longitudinal direction.
  • the wall parts are designed to be flat in order to enable a connection by appropriately designed support plates; the support plates are screwed to the wall parts.
  • the disadvantage of this is the relatively high production costs, since the beads can only be introduced into the metal sheets with the aid of a press.
  • the insertion of cross plates to create individual chambers of a silo container is only possible at the joints of the plates. It is also disadvantageous in this construction that the wall elements forming a wall part are screwed together at their horizontal joints.
  • a silo support which is composed of four sheet metal strips, the individual strips being connected to one another by folds.
  • the metal sheet strips divided in the axial direction are of different lengths, the individual metal sheet strips being connected to one another in such a way that there is no connection point running around the support.
  • the profiled wall plates are welded to the supports.
  • Such a support is extremely complex to manufacture due to its many seams and does not achieve the required stability, since no connection can be made with the concrete cast into the support.
  • a silo container of the type mentioned in which a column is composed of four parts, two mutually perpendicular parts being connected by an intermediate part; A flange is provided on the vertical parts, the shape of which corresponds to the wave shape of the metal sheet walls. At least one of these flanges has to be welded on, which makes the production of such a column uneconomical. In addition, there is no connection with the concrete cast into the support.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a container which can be produced economically and which moreover has the required stability.
  • the height of the web of a bead corresponds to the height of the leg of a bead projected onto the plane, two wall parts which are at right angles to one another being offset from one another exactly by the height of the web of a bead, so that pockets are formed during the transition of the beads of the wall parts to the corresponding beads of the support plates.
  • two wall parts standing at right angles to one another can be arranged offset from one another exactly by the height of the web of a bead; then at the transition of the beads of the wall parts to the corresponding beads of the support plate or corner plate, pockets are formed, which are also filled in by the concrete, which results in a support effect which causes an increase in load absorption in the vertical direction.
  • Another advantage is that only one type of support and corner plates is required; So no right and left support plates, as would be required if the wall parts located in one plane were not offset from each other in height relative to the other wall parts, and exactly offset by the height of the web of a bead.
  • the individual wall parts consist in particular of a plurality of wall elements arranged one above the other, which have horizontal, cross-sectionally approximately trapezoidal beads.
  • the support plate diagonally connecting the wall parts itself is also approximately trapezoidal in cross section.
  • Each leg of a support plate consists of beads arranged one above the other, which are designed to correspond to the beads of the wall parts, so that the wall parts are positively gripped by the legs in the vertical direction.
  • FIG. 2 At a joint in the form of an intersection of four mutually perpendicular wall parts, a cavity is created in that four wall parts are gripped by four perpendicular support plates (FIG. 2).
  • a cavity also arises at an abutment in an angular shape if an angularly bent corner plate is attached to both wall parts, their outwardly projecting legs being gripped by a U-profile (FIG. 3).
  • the leg of the corner plate resting on the wall part consists of a plurality of beads arranged one above the other, which correspond to the shape of the beads of a wall part, so that the legs also grip the wall parts in a form-fitting manner.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that for the manufacture of the corner plates only the cross-sectional trapezoidal support plates have to be halved; the leg of the corner plate projecting outwards is thus smooth-walled.
  • the support plates or corner plates designed in this way and arranged on the wall parts ensure horizontal and vertical load transfer.
  • the wall parts form a distance from one another in the region of the joint; the distance is chosen so that the ends of the wall parts do not protrude into the cavity formed by the support plates or corner plates.
  • This cavity is poured with concrete to improve the stability of the container.
  • the support plates and the wall parts are screwed together for fastening.
  • each wall element arranged one above the other form a positive connection with one another.
  • each wall element has claws on one horizontal edge and openings on the other opposite edge, the openings being roof-shaped, ie both upwards as well as being closed on both sides. This roof-shaped design of the openings results in a tight connection between two wall elements.
  • the wall element having the openings overlaps the wall element having the claws beyond the region of the edge of the beads (FIG. 5), so that the connection between the individual wall elements is also form-fitting in the vertical direction. This ensures that such a wall part, due to the form-fitting connection of the individual wall elements to one another, is able to carry vertical loads over the entire height.
  • the container denoted by 1 in FIG. 1 consists of several mutually separated chambers 2.
  • the individual chambers or the container itself is formed by wall parts 3, the outer wall parts being continuous.
  • Such a multi-chamber container has angled joints, e.g. Corner points and crossing points.
  • the individual wall parts 3 are connected to one another by four diagonally arranged support plates 4 with a trapezoidal cross section.
  • the wall parts 3 consist of individual wall elements 5 arranged one above the other, each of which has horizontal beads 6 in a trapezoidal shape.
  • the legs 4a of the support plates 4 are designed to correspond to the shape of the beads 6 of the wall elements 5; i.e., they consist of beads 4e arranged one above the other, so that the support plates with their legs 4a can grip the wall parts 3 in a form-fitting manner.
  • the positive connection of the support plates 4 with the wall parts 3 opens up the possibility of dissipating vertical forces acting on the wall parts through the support plates 4.
  • the individual support plates themselves are connected to the wall parts 3 by means of screws 10.
  • a cavity 9 is formed in the region of the joint of the wall parts, which can be poured with concrete.
  • the two wall parts 3 are connected to each other on their inside by the support plate 4.
  • the cavity designated by 12 is formed by two corner plates 11, each of the legs 11a resting on a wall part 3 consisting of a plurality of beads 11a arranged one above the other, which are designed to correspond to the shape of the beads 6 of a wall part 3.
  • the free outwardly projecting legs 11d of each corner plate 11 are detected by the profile designated 8.
  • the cavity 12 formed in this way can also be poured with concrete to increase the strength.
  • the formation of the beads 4e, 6, 11e is such that the height Y of the web 4b, 6a, 11b corresponds to a bead of the height X of a leg 4c, 6b, 11c projected onto the plane (FIG. 6).
  • These pockets 13 filled with concrete cause a further increase in load absorption in the vertical direction.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 also show how the individual wall elements 5 of a wall part 3 are connected to one another.
  • the connection of two wall elements 5 takes place in such a way that the edge 5a of one wall element forms an interlocking connection with the edge 5b of the other wall element.
  • roof-shaped openings denoted by 7 are provided, into each of which a claw 14 of the corresponding other wall element 5 projects.
  • the wall element 5 having the openings 7 overlaps the wall element having the claws 14 over the region of the fold (arrow A in FIG. 6) of the bead 6.
  • the claws 15 which are bent at an angle, protrude into the openings 16.
  • the form-fitting connection is brought about in particular by the angular design of the claws.
