Definitions

  • the invention relates to pallet containers for the transport and storage of liquids with an inner container made of plastic, each with a closable filler and outlet opening, an outer container made of sheet steel supporting the plastic inner container, each with an access opening in the lid and in the jacket for the filler and outlet openings of the inner container or a lattice jacket supporting the inner container from intersecting vertical and horizontal metal lattice bars and with a supporting part supporting the inner container on a pallet with a vibration and shock absorber function.
  • the inner container made of plastic such a pallet container according to DE 25 45 023 C2 and DE 38 19 911 A1 is supported by a ring made of polystyrene foam, which is inserted between the rounded outer edge bottom portion of the inner container and the outer container made of sheet steel or the lattice jacket made of metal bars , on a sheet metal base of the outer container or the grid jacket resting on the pallet.
  • the polystyrene foam ring has the function of a vibration damper against the surge vibrations emanating from the liquid product during transport and a shock absorber in accident situations, e.g. in the event of the pallet container falling from the height.
  • the damping effect of the support ring made of polystyrene foam is unsatisfactory both in the case of vibration and in the event of an impact load on the pallet container. With a large impact or shock load there is a risk that the support ring is damaged so much that it can no longer perform the support and damping function that it is responsible for.
  • the invention has for its object to structurally simplify the generic pallet container with the sheet metal base attached to the pallet as a support for the inner container and the polystyrene foam ring supporting it, a good damping capacity with both vibration and shock and impact loads on the pallet container with regard to transport security is sought.
  • the subclaims are directed to advantageous configurations of the pallet container.
  • the pallet container according to the invention is characterized by the following advantages: Through the use of an elastic, hollow-chambered support shell made of plastic with good damping capacity in the event of vibration as well as shock or impact stress on the pallet container, this fully meets the high requirements with regard to transport and accident safety.
  • the support shell makes the sheet metal base provided on the pallet in the known pallet containers as a support for the inner container and the supporting polystyrene foam ring superfluous, so that a structural simplification and thus a cheaper production of the pallet container can be achieved.
  • a polyethylene plastic can be used to produce the blown support shell, which is obtained as recycling material from the polyethylene inner container of the pallet container used as a disposable or reusable container. This manufacturing measure saves material for the pallet container and helps to relieve the burden on the environment by eliminating the need to dispose of the plastic material of the inner container.
  • the main components of the pallet container 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 are a tubular steel pallet 2 that can be driven under from all four sides, a two-part support shell 3 made of plastic, preferably polyethylene, resting on this, a plastic inner container 4 also made of polyethylene, which sits with its bottom section 5 in a form-fitting manner in the support shell 3, and a the inner container 4 supporting outer container 6 made of sheet steel.
  • the inner container 4 blown from polyethylene with a rectangular outline and rounded corners has in the middle of its ceiling 7 a filling opening 8 which is closed with a screw cap 9 or a plastic cam cover.
  • the bottom 10 of the inner container 4 drops slightly from two opposite side walls 11, 12 of the container 4 towards the center of the bottom and also has a slight slope from the rear 13 to the front container wall 14. In this way, the bottom 10 of the inner container 4 forms a flat, to the front wall 14 of the container 4 slightly inclined gutter 15, which ends in an arch 16 in the front wall 14 of the outlet opening 17, onto which an outlet fitting 18 can be screwed after removal of a screw cap.
  • the Sheet metal jacket 19 of the outer container 6 cover 20 fastened by roll welding and the sheet metal jacket 19 have corresponding access openings 21, 22.
  • the sheet metal jacket 19 of the outer container 6, which comprises the inner container 4 and the support shell 3, is fastened to the steel tube pallet 2, preferably screwed to the upper tube frame 23 of the steel tube pallet 2.
  • the elastic support shell 3 which, in addition to the permanent supporting function for the inner container 4, in the event of surge vibrations which can be triggered by the liquid in the inner container 4 during transport, the function of a vibration damper and in an accident situation, e.g. in the event of a fall of the pallet container from the height or in the event of a collision of the transport vehicle with another vehicle, which takes over the function of a shock absorber, has a circumferential outer, hollow support collar 24 with a support recess 26 which is curved inwards on the underside 25 and on the underside 28 of the Shell bottom 27 arranged, running longitudinally and transversely extending support troughs 29, 30, which are formed by molded on the shell bottom 27 hollow ribs 31, 32.
  • the support shell 3 rests with the support recess 26 on the support collar 24 and the longitudinal and transverse support recesses 29, 30 on the underside of the shell base 27 on the upper tubular frame 23 of the steel tube pallet 2.
  • the outer support collar 24 of the support shell 3 has an opening 33 for the outlet fitting 18 of the inner container 4.
  • the support shell 3 consists of two halves 3a, 3b, which are positively connected to one another by hook closures 36 arranged on their abutting edges 34, 35.
  • two further hollow ribs 37, 38 are formed on the underside 28 of the shell base 27 to stiffen the shell base.
  • Another measure to increase the rigidity of the support shell 3 is to foam the hollow parts molded onto the shell base 27, such as the outer support collar 24 and the ribs 29, 30, 37, 38, with plastic.
  • the pallet container can be equipped with a wooden plate.
  • the sheet metal jacket of the outer container can be exchanged for a grid jacket.
  • the pallet container can be used both as a disposable container and as a reusable container.
