By means of spindles, the two supporting blocks can be raised and lowered. At least one swivel arm is tiltably articulated to the vessel closure and tiltably as well as slideably articulated to the vessel, in such a manner that upon raising of the cover, the latter is at the same time tilted back away from the exposed vessel opening to improve access to the interior of the vessel.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verschieben und Schwenken eines Behälter-Verschlusses, insbesondere eines Behälter-Deckels oder einer Behälter-Türe zum Öffnen eines Behälters, mit einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung, die sowohl bei Druck als auch bei Vakuum im Behälter abdichtet.The invention relates to a device for moving and pivoting a container closure, in particular a container lid or a container door for opening a container, with a locking device that seals both under pressure and under vacuum in the container.

Für Behälter, insbesondere Druck- oder Vakuum-Behälter, wie sie vom Anmelder hergestellt werden, ist ein Türöffnungs- und Verschliessmechanismus bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung wird der Verschluss um eine ortsfeste Achse geschwenkt, die parallel zur Behälterachse angeordnet ist. Diese Vorrichtung hat sich in der Praxis für kleine Behälter bis zu zwei Meter Durchmesser mit entsprechend kleinen Deckeln bewährt. Bei grösserem Behälterdurchmesser ist jedoch der Platzbedarf, speziell z.B. in der Höhe, gross. Zudem ergeben sich erhebliche Drehmoment-Kräfte auf den Behälter, die zum Verzug des Behälters führen können. Bei grossen Deckeln mit einem Gewicht von 2 bis 3 Tonnen sind Gewichte und Reibungskräfte so gross, dass sie ein ruckartiges Öffnen des Deckels verursachen können.A door opening and closing mechanism is known for containers, in particular pressure or vacuum containers, as are produced by the applicant. In this known device, the closure is pivoted about a stationary axis which is arranged parallel to the container axis. This device has proven itself in practice for small containers up to two meters in diameter with correspondingly small lids. With a larger container diameter, however, the space required, especially e.g. in height, large. In addition, there are considerable torque forces on the container, which can lead to the container being distorted. With large lids weighing 2 to 3 tons, weights and frictional forces are so great that they can cause the lid to jerky open.

Solche Vorrichtungen zum Verschieben und Verschwenken sind z.B. bei Garagetoren bekannt, welche sich beim Öffnen der Garage nicht nur wie eine Türe verschwenken lassen, sondern zugleich auch verschoben werden, so dass sie bei geöffneter Garage oben an der Garagen-Decke anliegen.Such devices for moving and pivoting are e.g. known with garage doors, which can not only be pivoted like a door when opening the garage, but also be moved at the same time, so that they lie against the top of the garage ceiling when the garage is open.

Die Aufgabe, welche mit der vorliegenden Erfindung gelöst werden soll, besteht in der Schaffung einer Vorrichtung, welche es ermöglicht, den Deckel platzsparend zu verschieben und zu schwenken, ohne dass grosse Kräfte auftreten, welche ein ruckartiges Öffnen des Deckels verursachen.The object which is to be achieved with the present invention is to create a device which makes it possible to move the cover in a space-saving manner to pivot without large forces that cause the lid to jerky open.

Die Erfindung, mit der diese Aufgabe gelöst wird, ist gekennzeichnet durch mindestens eine Verschiebevorrichtung zum Verschieben und Entriegeln des Behälter-Verschlusses, nachdem der Druck oder das Vakuum im Behälter abgebaut wurde, und durch mindestens einen ausziehbaren Schwenkarm zum Schwenken des entriegelten Behälter-Verschlusses.The invention with which this object is achieved is characterized by at least one displacement device for displacing and unlocking the container closure after the pressure or vacuum in the container has been released, and by at least one extendable swivel arm for pivoting the unlocked container closure.

Die Ausführung gemäss Anspruch 2 hat den Vorteil, dass die grossen Kräfte, die zum Öffnen und Schliessen des Behälter-Verschlusses notwendig sind, sich auf zwei Spindeln und zwei Schwenkarme verteilen.The embodiment according to claim 2 has the advantage that the large forces which are necessary for opening and closing the container closure are distributed over two spindles and two swivel arms.

Die Ausführung gemäss Anspruch 3 hat den Vorteil, dass nur ein einziger Motor erforderlich ist, der beide Spindeln zuverlässig synchron antreibt.The embodiment according to claim 3 has the advantage that only a single motor is required, which reliably drives both spindles synchronously.

Die Ausführung gemäss Anspruch 4 hat den Vorteil, dass ein relativ teureres Winkelgetriebe eingespart wird.The embodiment according to claim 4 has the advantage that a relatively more expensive angular gear is saved.

Anspruch 5 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform des Erfindungsgegenstandes. Durch diese Bauart können zwei Spindeln, die Winkelgetriebe und ein Elektromotor eingespart werden. Beide Hubzylinder lassen sich relativ einfach durch einen gemeinsamen Hydraulikmotor betätigen.Claim 5 shows a further embodiment of the subject matter of the invention. This design saves two spindles, the angular gear and an electric motor. Both lifting cylinders can be operated relatively easily by a common hydraulic motor.

Vorzugsweise weist der Schwenkarm gemäss Anspruch 6 eine Gleitrolle auf, welche sich über einen Teilbereich der Schwenkbewegung des Schwenkarmes auf einem Gleitsegment abstützt. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass der geöffnete Behälter-Verschluss zuverlässig gehalten ist.Preferably, the swivel arm has a slide roller which is supported on a sliding segment over a partial region of the swivel movement of the swivel arm. This ensures that the opened container closure is held reliably.

Die Ausführung gemäss Anspruch 7 hat den Vorteil, dass der geöffnete Behälter-Verschluss gegen jede unerwünschte Bewegung gesichert ist.The embodiment according to claim 7 has the advantage that the opened container closure is secured against any undesired movement.

Gemäss Anspruch 8 kann diese Vorrichtung auch für einen Behälter verwendet werden, der nur für Überdruck ausgebildet ist und nicht für Vakuum.According to claim 8, this device can also be used for a container which is designed only for positive pressure and not for vacuum.

Durch die Ausbildung des Deckels gemäss Anspruch 9 wird erreicht, dass sowohl bei Druck als auch bei Vakuum ein absolut dichter Verschluss des Behälters durch den Deckel gewährleistet ist.The design of the lid according to claim 9 ensures that an absolutely tight seal of the container is ensured by the lid, both under pressure and under vacuum.

Gemäss Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 ist ein Behälter 1 durch einen Deckel 2 verschlossen. Dieser Deckel ist gemäss Fig. 2 um zwei Achsen 3 auf zwei Gelenkböcken 4 schwenkbar gelagert. Die beiden Gelenkböcke 4 können mit Hilfe zweier Gewindespindeln 5 gehoben und gesenkt werden. Die beiden Gewindespindeln 5 sind in je einer Gewindebohrung 6 des Gelenkbockes 4 eingeschraubt. Durch Drehen der beiden Gewindespindeln 5 in der einen oder anderen Drehrichtung können somit die beiden Gewindeböcke 4 gehoben und gesenkt werden, wobei über die Achsen 3 auch der Deckel 2 des Behälters 1 gehoben oder gesenkt wird. Zum Drehen der beiden Gewindespindeln 5 sind an ihren unteren Enden je ein Winkelgetriebe 7 befestigt, welche über ein zweites Winkelgetriebe 8 von einem Elektromotor 9 angetrieben werden. Die beiden Winkelgetriebe 7 sind über je eine Welle 10 mit dem zweiten Winkelgetriebe 8 verbunden. Das Winkelgetriebe 7 weist zwei Kegelräder 11 und 12 auf, von denen das eine 11 an der Gewindespindel 5 und das andere an der Welle 10 befestigt ist. - Das Winkelgetriebe 8 weist drei Kegelräder 13, 14 und 15 auf. Die beiden Kegelräder 13 und 15 sind an der Welle 10 befestigt, das dritte Kegelrad 14 wird vom Elektromotor 9 angetrieben.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, a container 1 is closed by a lid 2. According to FIG. 2, this cover is pivotally mounted on two hinge brackets 4 about two axes 3. The two hinge brackets 4 can be raised and lowered using two threaded spindles 5. The two threaded spindles 5 are screwed into a threaded bore 6 of the hinge bracket 4. By rotating the two threaded spindles 5 in one or the other direction of rotation, the two threaded brackets 4 can thus be raised and lowered, the lid 2 of the container 1 also being raised or lowered via the axes 3. To rotate the two threaded spindles 5, an angular gear 7 is attached to their lower ends, which are driven by an electric motor 9 via a second angular gear 8. The two bevel gears 7 are each connected to the second bevel gear 8 via a shaft 10. The bevel gear 7 has two bevel gears 11 and 12, of which one 11 is attached to the threaded spindle 5 and the other to the shaft 10. - The bevel gear 8 has three bevel gears 13, 14 and 15. The two bevel gears 13 and 15 are attached to the shaft 10, the third bevel gear 14 is driven by the electric motor 9.

Gemäss Fig. 1 ist jeder Gelenkbock 4 in zwei Führungsstangen 16 und 17 verschiebbar gelagert, wie auch aus Fig. 4 und Fig 5 ersichtlich ist. Gemäss Fig. 5 ist die Achse 3 starr am Deckel 2 befestigt und über einen Stift 18 schwenkbar im Gelenkbock 4 gelagert.1, each hinge bracket 4 is slidably mounted in two guide rods 16 and 17, as can also be seen in FIGS. 4 and 5. 5, the axis 3 is rigidly attached to the cover 2 and pivotally mounted in the hinge bracket 4 via a pin 18.

Gemäss Fig. 3 ist am Deckel 2 über ein Gelenk 19 ein Schwenkarm 20 schwenkbar angelenkt. Dieser Schwenkarm 20 ist ferner in einem zweiten Gelenk 21 verschiebbar am Behälter 1 angelenkt. Der Schwenkarm 20 lässt sich in Richtung des Pfeils A im Gelenk 21 verschieben und kann zugleich wie durch Pfeil B angedeutet um eine Achse 22 schwenken. Durch einen Anschlag 23 ist die Verschiebung des Schwenkarmes 20 im Gelenk 21 begrenzt. Am rechten Ende des Schwenkarmes 20 ist eine Rolle 24. Diese Rolle 24 kann sich auf einem bogenförmigen Gleitsegment 25 abstützen, wenn sich der Schwenkarm 20 in der vertikalen, gestrichelt angedeuteten Stellung befindet, in welcher der ebenfalls gestrichelt angedeutete Behälter-Deckel 2 offen ist.According to FIG. 3, a swivel arm 20 is articulated on the cover 2 via a joint 19. This pivot arm 20 is also articulated in a second joint 21 on the container 1. The swivel arm 20 can be displaced in the direction of arrow A in the joint 21 and at the same time can pivot about an axis 22 as indicated by arrow B. The displacement of the swivel arm 20 in the joint 21 is limited by a stop 23. At the right end of the swivel arm 20 there is a roller 24. This roller 24 can be supported on an arcuate sliding segment 25 when the swivel arm 20 is in the vertical position, indicated by dashed lines, in which the container lid 2, also indicated by dashed lines, is open.

Gemäss Fig. 6 kann die Rolle 24 des Schwenkarmes 20 in einer Führungskulisse 26 geführt sein, um den Behälter-Deckel 2 in seiner offenen Stellung gegen jede unerwünschte Verschwenkung zu sichern.6, the roller 24 of the swivel arm 20 can be guided in a guide link 26 in order to secure the container lid 2 in its open position against any undesired pivoting.

Gemäss Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 ist am Behälter 1 der Behälter-Deckel 2 in Richtung eines Pfeils C einsetzbar. Am Behälter 1 ist ein Umfangsflansch 27 befestigt. Dieser Flansch 27 erstreckt sich über den ganzen Umfang des Behälters und weist einen rechteckigen querschnitt auf. Am Deckel 2 ist ebenfalls ein über den ganzen Deckelumfang sich erstreckender Umfangflansch 28 befestigt. Diese beiden Flansche weisen den gleichen querschnitt auf.7 and 8, the container lid 2 can be inserted in the direction of an arrow C on the container 1. A peripheral flange 27 is attached to the container 1. This flange 27 extends over the entire circumference of the container and has a rectangular cross section. A circumferential flange 28 extending over the entire circumference of the cover is also fastened to the cover 2. These two flanges have the same cross section.

Die Verriegelung der Vorrichtung wird anhand Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 näher erläutert. Diese Verriegelung ist ausführlich in der CH -A5- 420 893 beschrieben. Gemäss Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 ist der Deckel 2 durch zwei die beiden Umfangflanschen 27 und 28 übergreifenden Schliessringe 29 und 30 am Behälter 1 befestigt. Diese Schliessringe 29 und 30 bilden zwei Teilringe, die sich zusammen zum gesamten Umfang ergänzen. Jeder Schliessring 29 und 30 erstreckt sich somit über einen Umfangswinkel von 180°. Der Schliessring 29 ist über seine ganze Länge, z.B. mittels einer Schweissnaht, am Flansch 27 des Behälters 1 befestigt und der Schliessring 30 ist über seine ganze Länge mittels einer Schweissnaht am Flansch 28 des Deckels 2 befestigt. Die beiden Schliessringe 29 und 30 weisen einen U-förmigen querschnitt auf und sind gleich ausgebildet. Beim Einsetzen des Deckels 2 liegen die Stirnflächen 31 des einen Schliessringes 29 an den Stirnflächen 32 des anderen Schliessringes 30 an. Ein Unterschied zwischen den Flanschen 27 und 28 besteht darin, dass sich im Gegensatz zum Flansch 28 im Flansch 27 ein Dichtungsring 33 befindet. Dieser Dichtungsring 33 ist in der die Trennebene zwischen Deckel 2 und Behälter 1 bildenden Stirnseite des Flanches 27 eingesetzt. Der Dichtungsring 33 erstreckt sich über den ganzen Umfang des Flansches 27. Fig. 9 und Fig. 10 zeigen detailliert diese Verriegelungsvorrichtung. Zwischen dem Dichtungsring 33 und dem Flansch 27 ist ein Druckluftraum 34 vorhanden.The locking of the device is explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. This locking is described in detail in CH -A5- 420 893. 7 and 8 is the Lid 2 is fastened to container 1 by two locking rings 29 and 30 which overlap the two peripheral flanges 27 and 28. These locking rings 29 and 30 form two partial rings, which together add up to the entire circumference. Each locking ring 29 and 30 thus extends over a circumferential angle of 180 °. The locking ring 29 is fastened to the flange 27 of the container 1 over its entire length, for example by means of a weld seam, and the locking ring 30 is fastened to the flange 28 of the lid 2 by means of a weld seam over its entire length. The two locking rings 29 and 30 have a U-shaped cross section and are of identical design. When the cover 2 is inserted, the end faces 31 of one locking ring 29 bear against the end faces 32 of the other locking ring 30. One difference between the flanges 27 and 28 is that, in contrast to the flange 28, there is a sealing ring 33 in the flange 27. This sealing ring 33 is inserted in the end face of the flange 27 forming the parting plane between the cover 2 and the container 1. The sealing ring 33 extends over the entire circumference of the flange 27. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 show this locking device in detail. A compressed air space 34 is present between the sealing ring 33 and the flange 27.

Dieser Druckluftraum 34 entsteht durch Einstechen einer Nut für den Dichtungsring 33, die tiefer ist als der eingesetzte Teil des Dichtungsringes 33. Der Dichtungsring 33 ist bei angelegtem Deckel 2 mittels Druckluft in Längsrichtung des Behälters 1 verschiebbar geführt und tritt dann etwas aus der Stirnfläche des Flansches 27.This compressed air space 34 is created by piercing a groove for the sealing ring 33, which is deeper than the inserted part of the sealing ring 33. When the cover 2 is in place, the sealing ring 33 is displaceably guided by compressed air in the longitudinal direction of the container 1 and then emerges somewhat from the end face of the flange 27.

Die Druckluft kann gemäss Fig. 10 durch einen Druckwächter 35 und durch ein Magnetventil 36 gesteuert werden. Das Magnetventil 36 befindet sich in einer Druckluftleitung 37, welche zur Umfangsnut 34 des Flansches 27 führt.The compressed air can be controlled according to FIG. 10 by a pressure switch 35 and by a solenoid valve 36. The solenoid valve 36 is located in a compressed air line 37, which leads to the circumferential groove 34 of the flange 27.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 11 ist der Deckel 2 ebenfalls um zwei Achsen 3 auf zwei Gelenkböcken 4 schwenkbar gelagert. Die beiden Gelenkböcke 4 können mit Hilfe zweier Hubzylinder 40 und 41 angehoben und gesenkt werden. Die beiden Hubzylinder 40 und 41 sind ortsfest und enthalten je einen Kolben 42 und 43. Diese beiden Kolben 42 und 43 sind über je eine Kolbenstange 44 und 45 mit den Gelenkböcken 4 verbunden. Jeder Hubzylinder 40 und 41 ist über eine hydraulische Leitung 46 an einer Hydraulikpumpe 47 angeschlossen, damit beim Einschalten dieser Hydraulikpumpe 47 Druckflüssigkeit in die Kammern 48 der Hydraulikzylinder 40 und 41 unterhalb den Kolben 42 und 43 zugeführt werden kann. Dadurch werden die Kolben 42 und 43 angehoben und über die Kolbenstange 44 und 45 werden die Gelenkböcke 4 und somit auch der Behälter-Deckel 2 angehoben.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 11, the cover 2 is also pivotally mounted on two hinge brackets 4 about two axes 3. The two hinge brackets 4 can be raised and lowered with the aid of two lifting cylinders 40 and 41. The two lifting cylinders 40 and 41 are stationary and each contain a piston 42 and 43. These two pistons 42 and 43 are each connected to the hinge brackets 4 via a piston rod 44 and 45. Each lifting cylinder 40 and 41 is connected to a hydraulic pump 47 via a hydraulic line 46, so that when this hydraulic pump 47 is switched on, hydraulic fluid can be supplied into the chambers 48 of the hydraulic cylinders 40 and 41 below the pistons 42 and 43. As a result, the pistons 42 and 43 are raised and, via the piston rods 44 and 45, the joint blocks 4 and thus also the container lid 2 are raised.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 12 ist der Deckel 2 wiederum um zwei Achsen 3 auf zwei Gelenkböcken 4 schwenkbar gelagert. Die beiden Gelenkböcke 4 können mit Hilfe zweier Gewindespindeln 5 gehoben und gesenkt werden. Die beiden Gewindespindeln 5 sind in je einer Gewindebohrung 6 des Gelenkbockes 4 eingeschraubt. Durch Drehen der beiden Gewindespindeln 5 in der einen oder anderen Drehrichtung können somit die beiden Gewindeböcke 4 gehoben und gesenkt werden, wobei über die Achsen 3 auch der Deckel 2 des Behälters 1 gehoben oder gesenkt wird. Zum Drehen der beiden Gewindespindeln 5 sind an ihren unteren Enden je ein Elektromotor 49 angeordnet, mit deren Hilfe die beiden Gewindespindeln in beiden Drehrichtungen angetrieben werden können. Eine an sich bekannte Schaltvorrichtung 50 gewährleistet, dass die beiden Elektromotoren 49 synchron angetrieben werden. Im übrigen funktioniert diese Ausführungsform genau gleich wie die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Ausführungsform.In the embodiment according to FIG. 12, the cover 2 is in turn pivoted about two axes 3 on two hinge brackets 4. The two hinge brackets 4 can be raised and lowered using two threaded spindles 5. The two threaded spindles 5 are screwed into a threaded bore 6 of the hinge bracket 4. By rotating the two threaded spindles 5 in one or the other direction of rotation, the two threaded brackets 4 can thus be raised and lowered, the lid 2 of the container 1 also being raised or lowered via the axes 3. To rotate the two threaded spindles 5, an electric motor 49 is arranged at each of their lower ends, by means of which the two threaded spindles can be driven in both directions of rotation. A switching device 50 known per se ensures that the two electric motors 49 are driven synchronously. Otherwise, this embodiment works exactly the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 2.

Das Öffnen und Schliessen des Behälters 1 durch den Deckel 2 geht folgendermassen vor sich: Bevor der Deckel 2 zum Öffnen des Behälters 1 verschoben werden kann, muss zuerst der im Behälter 1 herrschende Druck oder das im Behälter 1 vorhandene Vakuum vollständig abgebaut werden. Anschliessend muss auch der Druck im Druckluftraum 34 hinter dem Dichtungsring 33 abgebaut werden, damit der Dichtungsring 33 nicht mehr gegen den Umfangflansch 28 angepresst wird. Der Deckel 2 lässt sich beim Öffnen des Behälters 1 erst verschieben, wenn der Druckwächter 35 anzeigt, dass durch das Magnetventil 36 die Leitung 37 und somit der Druckluftraum 34 vollständig entlüftet sind.The opening and closing of the container 1 through the lid 2 takes place as follows: Before the lid 2 can be moved to open the container 1, the one in Container 1 prevailing pressure or the existing vacuum in container 1 are completely removed. Subsequently, the pressure in the compressed air space 34 behind the sealing ring 33 must also be reduced so that the sealing ring 33 is no longer pressed against the peripheral flange 28. The lid 2 can only be moved when the container 1 is opened when the pressure switch 35 indicates that the line 37 and thus the compressed air space 34 are completely vented through the solenoid valve 36.

Beim Verschieben des Deckels 2 zum Öffnen des Behälters 1 wird der Motor 9 eingeschaltet und der Deckel 2 beginnt sich in Richtung des Pfeils C (Fig. 7) zu verschieben. Bei dieser Verschiebung wird der halbe, ohne Schliessring versehene Umfang des Flansches 28 aus dem Schliessring 29 des Behälters 1 herausgezogen, ebenfalls wird der andere halbe ohne Schliessring 29 versehene Umfang des Flansches 27 aus dem Schliessring 30 des Deckels 2 herausgeschoben.When the cover 2 is moved to open the container 1, the motor 9 is switched on and the cover 2 begins to move in the direction of the arrow C (FIG. 7). During this displacement, half the circumference of the flange 28 without a locking ring is pulled out of the locking ring 29 of the container 1, and the other half without a locking ring 29 of the flange 27 is also pushed out of the locking ring 30 of the cover 2.

Wenn der Behälter 1 durch den Deckel 2 geschlossen ist, kann ein Druck im Behälter 1 aufgebaut werden, dann berühren sich die Flansche 27 und 28 nicht, wie aus Fig. 9 ersichtlich ist.If the container 1 is closed by the lid 2, pressure can be built up in the container 1, then the flanges 27 and 28 do not touch, as can be seen from FIG. 9.

Wenn der Behälter 1 durch den Deckel 2 geschlossen ist, kann aber auch ein Vakuum im Behälter 1 erzeugt werden, dann werden die Flansche 27 und 28 aneinander gepresst, wie aus Fig. 10 ersichtlich ist. In beiden Fällen wird im Druckluftraum 34 ein Druck erzeugt und der Dichtring 33 wird gegen den Flansch 28 gepresst, wodurch gewährleistet ist, dass der Deckel 2 dicht am Behälter 1 anliegt.If the container 1 is closed by the cover 2, but a vacuum can also be generated in the container 1, then the flanges 27 and 28 are pressed against one another, as can be seen from FIG. 10. In both cases, pressure is generated in the compressed air space 34 and the sealing ring 33 is pressed against the flange 28, which ensures that the lid 2 lies tightly against the container 1.

Statt durch einen einzigen Motor 9 können die beiden Spindeln 5 durch je einen separaten Motor synchron angetrieben werden. Statt der Spindeln 5 können die Gelenkböcke 4 mit dem Deckel 2 durch zwei hydraulische oder pneumatische Zylinder mit je einem Kolben gehoben werden oder mit Hilfe von Zahnstangen.Instead of a single motor 9, the two spindles 5 can each be driven synchronously by a separate motor. Instead of the spindles 5, the hinge brackets 4 with the cover 2 can be lifted by two hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, each with a piston, or with the aid of toothed racks.

Der Behälter 1 hat beispielsweise einen Durchmesser von 2,7 Metern und ist so stark, dass er mindestens Drücke von +4 bar und ein entsprechendes Vakuum von -1 bar ohne Deformation aushält. Die Länge des Behälters beträgt beispielsweise 2-10 Meter. Aus Festigkeitsgründen ist der Deckel 2 nicht flach sondern kalottenförmig. Für den Dichtring 33 zwischen Behälter 1 und Deckel 2, d.h. zwischen dem Umfangsflansch 27 am Behälter 1 und dem Umfangsflansch 28 am Deckel 2, wird vorzugsweise ein sogenannter O-Ring aus Gummi oder ein geeigneten Kunststoff, z.B. syntetischer Gummi, verwendet. Zum Verschieben und Verschwenken des Behälter-Deckels 2 eignen sich Elektromotren oder Hydromotoren, deren Grösse vom Gewicht des Deckels 2 abhängig ist. Im Druckluftraum 34 hinter dem Dichtungsring 33 herrscht beispielweise ein Druck von 4 bis 8 bar.The container 1 has a diameter of 2.7 meters, for example, and is so strong that it can withstand at least pressures of +4 bar and a corresponding vacuum of -1 bar without deformation. The length of the container is 2-10 meters, for example. For reasons of strength, the lid 2 is not flat but spherical. For the sealing ring 33 between container 1 and lid 2, i.e. Between the peripheral flange 27 on the container 1 and the peripheral flange 28 on the lid 2, a so-called rubber O-ring or a suitable plastic, e.g. synthetic rubber used. Electric motors or hydraulic motors, the size of which depends on the weight of the cover 2, are suitable for moving and pivoting the container cover 2. A pressure of 4 to 8 bar prevails, for example, in the compressed air space 34 behind the sealing ring 33.
