Description

Ein Tankcontainer mit den im ersten Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen ist aus DE-C-3 212 696 bekannt. Die Sattelung des Tanks zwischen den beiden Stirnrahmen erfolgt dort an beiden Enden über einen mit den Stirnrahmen verbundenen Sattelring und einen am Tankboden, und zwar innerhalb des von der stärker gekrümmten Krempenzone umgebenen Bereichs des Bodens, angeschweißten Stirnring. Die bekannte Sattelungsart weist unter anderem den Vorteil einer toleranzunempfindlichen Verbindung zwischen Tank und Stirnrahmen bei genauer Einhaltung vorgeschriebener Abstände zwischen den an den Stirnrahmen vorhandenen Eckbeschlägen auf.A tank container with the features specified in the first part of claim 1 is known from DE-C-3 212 696. The saddling of the tank between the two end frames takes place there at both ends via a saddle ring connected to the end frames and one on the tank bottom, specifically within the area of the bottom welded on by the more curved rim zone. The known type of saddle has, inter alia, the advantage of a tolerance-insensitive connection between the tank and the front frame with precise compliance with the prescribed distances between the corner fittings provided on the front frame.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das bekannte Sattelungsprinzip so zu modifizieren, daß es sich unter Beibehaltung des genannten Vorteils bei Wechseltanks anwenden läßt, bei denen die axiale Länge des Tanks größer ist als der Abstand zwischen den Stirnrahmen.The invention has for its object to modify the known principle of saddle so that it can be used while maintaining the advantage mentioned in swap tanks in which the axial length of the tank is greater than the distance between the end frames.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet. Dabei bleibt infolge der flächigen Anlage zwischen dem Radialflansch des zweiten Ringes und der zur Tankachse senkrechten Fläche des Stirnrahmens die Möglichkeit einer umfangsmäßigen Ausrichtung zwischen Tank und Rahmen bei der Endmontage wie beim Stand der Technik erhalten, während ein axialer Toleranzausgleich durch Verschiebung der einander überlappenden Axialflansche des zweiten und des dritten Ringes erfolgen kann.The solution to this problem according to the invention is characterized in claim 1. As a result of the flat contact between the radial flange of the second ring and the surface of the end frame perpendicular to the tank axis, the possibility of a circumferential alignment between the tank and frame during final assembly is retained, as in the prior art, while an axial tolerance compensation by shifting the overlapping axial flanges of the second and third ring can be done.

Gleichzeitig bilden der zweite und der dritte Ring miteinander ein U-Profil, das durch elastische Verformung der beiden Ringprofile einen gewissen Ausgleich temperaturbedingter Längenveränderungen gestattet. Ein derartiger Ausgleich ist dann von Bedeutung, wenn der Tank beispielsweise zur Aufnahme von Flüssiggas dient und daher im Betrieb unterschiedliche Längenänderungen an Tank und Rahmen auftreten.At the same time, the second and third rings form a U-profile with one another, which allows a certain compensation of temperature-related changes in length due to the elastic deformation of the two ring profiles. Such a compensation is important if the tank is used, for example, to hold liquefied petroleum gas and therefore different length changes occur on the tank and frame during operation.

Die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 2 ist insofern günstig, als der Stirnrahmen bei hoher Festigkeit eine möglichst große Öffnung freiläßt, durch die der Tank im Bereich seines maximalen Durchmessers hindurchragen kann.The development according to claim 2 is advantageous in that the front frame, with high strength, leaves as large an opening as possible through which the tank can protrude in the area of its maximum diameter.

Die Gestaltungen nach den Ansprüchen 3 bis 6 sind zur Vermeidung eines unerwünschten Wärmeübergangs zweckmäßig, wobei die Gestaltung des Anspruchs 5 die Wärmeübergangsflächen zwischen Tank und Rahmen auf ein Minimum reduziert.The designs according to claims 3 to 6 are useful for avoiding undesired heat transfer, the design of claim 5 reducing the heat transfer surfaces between the tank and frame to a minimum.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert; darin zeigt

  • Figur 1 eine Seitenansicht eines Tankcontainers,
  • Figur 2 eine Stirnansicht, wobei die linke Hälfte der Figur eine Ansicht des in Figur 1 gezeigten Tankcontainers von links und die rechte Hälfte eine Ansicht von rechts darstellt, und
  • Figur 3 und 4 vergrößerte Schittdarstellungen der Tanksattelungen gemäß der Linie 111-111 bzw. IV-IV nach Figur 1.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawings; in it shows
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a tank container,
  • Figure 2 is an end view, the left half of the figure is a view of the tank container shown in Figure 1 from the left and the right half is a view from the right, and
  • Figures 3 and 4 enlarged sectional views of the tank saddles along the line 111-111 and IV-IV of Figure 1.

Der in Figur 1 und 2 gezeigte Tankcontainer weist einen generell zylindrischen Tank 10 auf, der im Bereich seiner beiden Enden über Sattelstrukturen 11 und 12 mit Stirnrahmen 13 bzw. 14 verbunden ist. Jeder Stirnrahmen ist mit vier Eckbeschlägen 15 versehen. Die beiden Stirnrahmen 13, 14 sind unten durch Längsholme 16 miteinander verbunden, die zusätzlich über Diagonalstreben 17 mit den Stirnrahmen 13, 14 verbunden sind.The tank container shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a generally cylindrical tank 10 which is connected in the region of its two ends via saddle structures 11 and 12 to end frames 13 and 14, respectively. Each end frame is provided with four corner fittings 15. The two end frames 13, 14 are connected to one another at the bottom by longitudinal bars 16, which are additionally connected to the end frames 13, 14 via diagonal struts 17.

Gemäß der Schnittdarstellung der Figur 3 umfaßt die Sattelstruktur 11 einen ersten Ring 21, einen zweiten Ring 22 und einen dritten Ring 23. Der erste Ring 21 weist T-Profil auf und ist mit seinem parallel zur Tankachse A (Figur 1) verlaufenden Flansch 24 an den zylindrischen Teil des Tankmantels angeschweißt. Der zweite Ring 22 ist als Winkelring ausgebildet, wobei der senkrecht zur Tankachse A verlaufende Radialflansch 25 an der ebenfalls senkrecht zur Tankachse stehenden, der Tankmitte zugewandten Fläche des Stirnrahmens 13 anliegt und mit dieser verschweißt ist. Wie aus Figur 3 hervorgeht, bestehen die senkrechten Stützen des Stirnrahmens 13 aus nach außen offenen U-Profilschienen 18.According to the sectional view in FIG. 3, the saddle structure 11 comprises a first ring 21, a second ring 22 and a third ring 23. The first ring 21 has a T-profile and has a flange 24 running parallel to the tank axis A (FIG. 1) welded the cylindrical part of the tank jacket. The second ring 22 is designed as an angular ring, the radial flange 25 running perpendicular to the tank axis A abutting and being welded to the face of the end frame 13 which is also perpendicular to the tank axis and facing the center of the tank. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the vertical supports of the end frame 13 consist of U-shaped rails 18 that are open to the outside.

Der dritte Ring 23 ist ebenfalls als Winkelring ausgeführt und weist einen parallel zu dem Axialflansch 26 des zweiten Rings 22 innerhalb desselben verlaufenden und mit diesem verschweißten Axialflansch 27 und einen nach außen weisenden Radialflansch 28 auf, der parallel zu dem nach außen weisenden Mittelsteg-Flansch 29 des im Schnitt T-förmigen ersten Rings 21 verläuft.The third ring 23 is also designed as an angle ring and has an axial flange 27 that runs parallel to the axial flange 26 of the second ring 22 and is welded to it, and an outward-pointing radial flange 28 that is parallel to the outward-pointing central web flange 29 of the first ring 21, which is T-shaped in section.

Die beiden parallelen Flansche 29 und 28 des ersten und des dritten Rings 21, 23 sind über Schraubbolzen 30 miteinander verbunden, wobei zwischen die Flansche 28, 29 ein wärmeisolierendes Distanzelement 31 eingefügt ist. Ein weiteres wärmeisolierendes Distanzelement 32 ist zwischen die andere Seite des Flansches 29 des ersten Rings 21 und eine Druckplatte 33 eingefügt, an der der Kopf 34 des Schraubbolzens 30 zur Drehsicherung durch einen Schweißpunkt angeheftet sein kann. In ähnlicher Weise kann die Gegenmutter 35 am Flansch 28 des dritten Rings 23 angeheftet sein.The two parallel flanges 29 and 28 of the first and third rings 21, 23 are connected to one another by means of screw bolts 30, a heat-insulating spacer element 31 being inserted between the flanges 28, 29. Another heat-insulating spacer element 32 is inserted between the other side of the flange 29 of the first ring 21 and a pressure plate 33, to which the head 34 of the screw bolt 30 can be attached by means of a welding point to prevent rotation. Similarly, the lock nut 35 may be attached to the flange 28 of the third ring 23.

Die beiden Distanzelemente 31 und 32 bewirken, daß ein gut wärmeleitender Metallkontakt zu dem am Tank 10 angeschweißten ersten Ring 21 nur zwischen dem Schraubbolzen 30 und der Innenfläche der von ihm durchsetzten Bohrung in dem Flansch 29 vorhanden sein kann. Die Wärme- übergangsfläche ist daher auf ein Minimum beschränkt.The two spacer elements 31 and 32 have the effect that a good heat-conducting metal contact to the first ring 21 welded to the tank 10 only between the screw bolt 30 and the inner surface of the bore penetrated by it the flange 29 may be present. The heat transfer surface is therefore kept to a minimum.

Die Distanzelemente 31 und 32 sowie die Druckplatte 33 können für jeden einzelnen Schraubbolzen 30 separat vorhanden oder auch als Ringsegmente ausgebildet und für zwei oder mehrere in Umfangrichtung nebeneinanderliegende Schraubbolzen 30 gemeinsam vorgesehen sein.The spacer elements 31 and 32 and the pressure plate 33 can be provided separately for each individual screw bolt 30 or can also be designed as ring segments and jointly provided for two or more screw bolts 30 lying next to one another in the circumferential direction.

Wird der Tank 10 beispielsweise zum Transport von Flüssiggas eingesetzt, so ist er erheblichen Temperaturdifferenzen unterworfen, die zu entsprechenden Dimensionsänderungen führen. Eine Längenänderung in Axialrichtung kann dabei durch elastische Verformung der beiden miteinander zu einem U-Profil verschweißten Winkelringe 22 und 23 aufgenommen werden.If the tank 10 is used, for example, for the transport of liquefied gas, it is subjected to considerable temperature differences, which lead to corresponding dimensional changes. A change in length in the axial direction can be absorbed by elastic deformation of the two angle rings 22 and 23 welded together to form a U-profile.

Die in der Schnittdarstellung in Figur 4 im einzelnen gezeigte Sattelstruktur 12 an dem gemäß Figur 1 rechten Ende des Tanks ist mit der Sattelstruktur 11 nach Figur 3 weitgehend identisch. Ein Unterschied besteht darin, daß der am Tank 10 angeschweißte erste Ring 41 als Winkelring ausgestaltet ist, dessen axialer Flansch 44 an den von der stärker gekrümmten Krempenzone 40 umgebenen mittleren Bereich des Tankbodens 20 angeschweißt ist.The saddle structure 12 shown in detail in the sectional view in FIG. 4 at the right end of the tank according to FIG. 1 is largely identical to the saddle structure 11 according to FIG. 3. One difference is that the first ring 41 welded to the tank 10 is designed as an angular ring, the axial flange 44 of which is welded to the central region of the tank bottom 20 surrounded by the more curved rim zone 40.

Der erste Ring 41 der in Figur 4 gezeigten Sattelstruktur 12 hat daher einen geringeren Durchmesser als der erste Ring 21 der in Figur 3 gezeigten Sattelstruktur 11. Der in diesem Fall größere Unterschied zu den Dimensionen des Stirnrahmens 14, dessen Vertikalstützen gemäß Figur 4 aus L-Profilschienen 19 bestehen, wird dadurch überbrückt, daß der dritte Ring 43 mit seinem Radialflansch 45 nach innen weisend angeordnet ist.The first ring 41 of the saddle structure 12 shown in FIG. 4 therefore has a smaller diameter than the first ring 21 of the saddle structure 11 shown in FIG. 3. The greater difference in this case to the dimensions of the end frame 14, the vertical supports of which from FIG. Profile rails 19 exist, is bridged in that the third ring 43 is arranged with its radial flange 45 facing inwards.

Die Verbindung zwischen dem Tank 10 an seinem gemäß Figur 1 rechten Boden 20 und dem Stirnrahmen 14 entspricht hinsichtlich der Befestigung des ersten Rings 41 am Tankboden 20 der aus DE-C-3 212 696 bekannten Sattelung. In diesem Fall liegt der äußerste Punkt des gewölbten Tankbodens 20 innerhalb der von dem Stirnrahmen 14 gebildeten äußeren Ebene. An dem in Figur 1 gezeigten linken Ende ragt dagegen der Tank 10 mit seinem gewölbten Boden 20' durch den Stirnrahmen 13 hindurch und über diesen nach links hinaus. Die äußerste Begrenzung wird in diesem Fall durch die über den Stirnrahmen 13 hinaus nach links verlängerten Längsholme 16 gebildet, die somit einen Schutz des Tankbodens 20' bewirken. Das vorliegende Konzept eignet sich daher für Wechseltanks, bei denen die Länge des Tanks größer ist als der z.B. nach ISO festgelegte Abstand zwischen den an den Stirnrahmen 13, 14 vorhandenen Eckbeschlägen 15.The connection between the tank 10 on its bottom 20, which is shown on the right in FIG. 1, and the end frame 14 corresponds with regard to the attachment of the first ring 41 to the tank bottom 20 of the saddle known from DE-C-3 212 696. In this case, the outermost point of the curved tank bottom 20 lies within the outer plane formed by the end frame 14. At the left end shown in FIG. 1, on the other hand, the tank 10 projects with its curved bottom 20 'through the end frame 13 and beyond it to the left. In this case, the outermost limitation is formed by the longitudinal bars 16, which are extended to the left beyond the end frame 13 and which thus protect the tank bottom 20 ′. The present concept is therefore suitable for swap tanks where the length of the tank is longer than e.g. ISO-defined distance between the corner fittings 15 present on the end frames 13, 14.
