Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Behältnis, insbesondere Kleincontainer, regelmäßig quaderförmigar Geometrie mit Seitenwandungen und Bodenwandung sowie dieser gegenüberliegendem Verschlußdeckel, wobie das Behältnis auf einer Standfläche abstellbar ist.The invention relates to a container, in particular small containers, regular cuboid geometry with side walls and bottom wall as well as this closing lid, whereby the container can be placed on a stand.

Für den Transport insbesondere kontaminierter wie z. B. schwach radioaktiver Abfälle werden Behältnisse unterschiedlicher Geometrien wie Tonnen, Fässer oder quaderförmige Container benutzt. Entsprechende Behältnisse müssen unter anderem den Beförderungsbedingungen der entsprechenden Gefahrgutverordnungen genügen.For the transport especially contaminated such. B. weakly radioactive waste containers of different geometries such as barrels, barrels or rectangular containers are used. Corresponding containers must, among other things, meet the conditions of carriage of the relevant dangerous goods regulations.

Bei der Verwendung der Behältnisse muß sichergestellt sein, daß diese jederzeit mit dem zugehörigen Deckel verschließbar sind. Dabei darf der Deckel weder zu Beschädigungen von das Behälterinnere gegenüber dem Äußeren abdichtenden Dichtungen führen, noch selbst Gefahr laufen, daß dieser in geöffneter Stellung z. B. dadurch beschädigt wird, daß er auf eine Standfläche aufschlägt oder ähnliches.When using the containers, it must be ensured that they can be closed at any time with the associated lid. The lid must not lead to damage to the inside of the container against the sealing seals, or even run the risk that this in the open position z. B. thereby is damaged that it hits a stand or the like.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Behältnis der zuvor beschriebenen Art so weiterzubilden, daß das Behältnis durch den Verschlußdeckel ohne Beschädigung der Dichtung verschlossen werden kann und daß bei geöffnetem Behältnis der Deckel nicht Gefahr läuft, auf eine Standfläche aufzuschlagen.The object of the present invention is to develop a container of the type described above in such a way that the container can be closed by the closure lid without damaging the seal and that when the container is open the lid does not run the risk of hitting a stand.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß im wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, daß von dem Verschlußdeckel zumindest ein Scharnierbolzen ausgeht, der in einen Kulissenschlitz eines von einem oberen Randbereich des Behältnisses ausgehenden Scharnierelements eingreift, daß der Scharnierbolzen bei geöffnetem und geschlossenem Behältnis in einem unteren bzw. einem oberem Abschnitt des Kulissenschlitzes festgelegt ist, die zueinander beabstandet sind, daß bei geöffnetem Behältnis der Scharnierbolzen auf einer tragenden Fläche des oberen Abschnitts festgelegt ist, die oberhalb der Stellung, in der der Scharnierbolzen bei geshlossenem Behältnis in dem unteren Abschnitt einnimmt, verläuft, so daß bei geöffnetem und entlang einer Behältnisaußenwandfläche verlaufendem Verschlußdeckel dieser zu der Standfläche beabstandet ist.The object is essentially achieved in that at least one hinge pin extends from the closure lid, which engages in a link slot of a hinge element extending from an upper edge region of the container, that the hinge pin in an open and closed container in a lower or an upper section of the Setting slot is set, which are spaced from each other, that when the container is open, the hinge pin is fixed on a supporting surface of the upper section, which runs above the position in which the hinge pin assumes in the lower section when the container is closed, so that when the and along a container outer wall surface extending closure lid is spaced from the standing surface.

Beim Öffnen des Behältnisses erfolgt durch den Kullissenschlitz bedingt eine Zwangsführung des Verschlußdeckels derart, daß die Deckelschwenkachse derart zu der Standflache vergrößert wird, daß bei geöffnetem Verschlußdeckel dieser die Standfläche nicht berühren kann. Dies bedeutet, daß bei Behältnissen mit einer im wesentlichen regelmäßig quaderförmigen Geometrie nicht mehr die Gefahr besteht, daß beim Öffnen des Verschlußdeckels dieser mit dem dem Scharnierelement gegenüberliegenden Randbereich auf eine Standfläche aufschlägt und dort in einem Umfang beschädigt wie verbeult werden kann, daß anschließend ein ordnungsgemäßes Verschließen nicht mehr möglich ist.When the container is opened, the slotted slot causes the cover to be guided in such a way that the pivot axis of the cover is enlarged in relation to the standing surface in such a way that when the cover is open, it cannot touch the standing surface. This means that there is no longer any risk of containers with a substantially regular cuboid geometry that, when the closure lid is opened, it hits the standing area with the edge area opposite the hinge element and can be damaged and dented there to such an extent that subsequently a proper one Closing is no longer possible.

Die durch den Kullissenschlitz bedingte Zwangsführung stellt des weiteren sicher, daß der Verschlußdeckel nicht-wie bei Behältnissen bekannter Bauart- um eine ortsfeste Achse schwenkbar ist, die anderfalls bewirken würde, daß beim Öffnen und Schließen des Verschlußdeckels die im oberen Randbereich des Behältnisses verlaufende Dichtung beschädigt wird. Vielmehr erfolgt das Verschwenken in einer Achsstellung, die zu der beabstandet ist, in der das Behältnis von dem Verschlußdeckel ordnungsgemäß verschlossen ist.The forced guidance caused by the slot slot further ensures that the closure lid cannot be pivoted about a fixed axis, as is the case with containers of known design, which would otherwise cause the seal running in the upper edge region of the container to be damaged when the closure lid is opened and closed becomes. Rather, the pivoting takes place in an axial position that is spaced from that in which the container is properly closed by the closure lid.

Der Kullissenschlitz selbst weist vorzugsweise einen L-, C- oder U-förmigen Verlauf auf, wobei ein von Behälter entfernt liegender in etwa parallel zur Bodenwandung verlaufender kurzer Schenkel vorgesehen ist, in dem bei geöffnetem Behältnis der Scharnierbolzen festlegbar ist. Um ein unkontrolliertes Herausrutschen aus dieser Endlage zu vermeiden, kann der kurze Schenkel in seinem Ende mit einer den Scharnierbolzen haltenden Aufnahme wie Mulde versehen sein.The Kullisseschlitz itself preferably has an L, C or U-shaped course, with a short leg is provided which is located away from the container and runs approximately parallel to the bottom wall and in which the hinge pin can be fixed when the container is open. In order to avoid uncontrolled slipping out of this end position, the short leg can be provided in its end with a receptacle holding the hinge pin like a trough.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das Deckelelement bei geöffnetem Behältnis an der Behälteraußenfläche arretierbar sein. Hierzu dient vorzugsweise ein Griff, über den der Verschlußdeckel hantierbar ist. Der Griff kann in einer von der Behälteraußenfläche abragenden vorzugsweise laschenförmigen Aufnahme einrasten, wodurch bei einem Bewegen des Behältnisses in geöffneter Stellung ein unerwünschtes Hin- und Herbewegen des Verschlußdeckels vermieden wird.In a further embodiment of the invention, the cover element can be locked on the outer surface of the container when the container is open. A handle is preferably used for this purpose, by means of which the closure lid can be handled. The handle can snap into a preferably tab-shaped receptacle projecting from the outer surface of the container, as a result of which an undesired back and forth movement of the closure lid is avoided when the container is moved in the open position.

Vorzugsweise weist der Verschlußdeckel zwei Scharnierbolzen auf, die in von gegenüberliegenden Seitenwandungen des Behältnisses ausgehende Scharnierelemente eingreifen.The closure cover preferably has two hinge bolts which engage in hinge elements extending from opposite side walls of the container.

Die Scharnierbolzen selbst können von von dem Verschlußdeckel vorspringenden Laschenelementen ausgehen, die ihrerseits vorzugsweise mit dem Verschlußdeckel verschweißt sind. Dabei sollten die Scharnierbolzen über von der Innenseite des Verschlußdeckels einbringbare Befestigungselemente wie Madenschrauben in den Laschenelementen fixierbar sein, um eine Sicherung gegen ein unerwünschtes Lösen von außen zu bieten.The hinge bolts themselves can start from the locking tabs projecting tab elements, which in turn are preferably welded to the locking cover. The hinge bolts should be able to be fixed in the tab elements by means of fastening elements, such as grub screws, which can be introduced from the inside of the closure lid, in order to provide security against undesired loosening from the outside.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Behältnisse bestehen aus einer stabilen, dichtgeschweißten Blechkonstruktion, wobei Seiten- und Bodenwände gesickt sein können.The containers according to the invention consist of a stable, tightly welded sheet metal construction, whereby side and bottom walls can be corrugated.

Der Behälterboden weist Füße auf, die mit Zentrierhilfen ausgerüstet sind. Im Deckelbereich sind Aufnahmetaschen, und zwar in den Ecken vorhanden, die gleichfalls als Zentrierhilfe, also zum Positionieren eines auf den Deckel anzuordnenden weiteren Behältnissen ausgebildet sind. Die Aufnahmentaschen können gleichzeitig Anschlagepunkte für Hebezeuge wir Seile und Spreader sein.The bottom of the container has feet that are equipped with centering aids. In the lid area there are receiving pockets, specifically in the corners, which are also designed as a centering aid, ie for positioning a further container to be placed on the lid. The receiving pockets can also be anchor points for hoists such as ropes and spreaders.

Damit die Scharnierbolzen und Scharnierelemente ein Stapeln von Behältnissen nicht behindern, sind erstere derart in Eckbereichen des Behältnisses angeordnet und weisen in der Draufsicht eine derartige flächige Erstreckung auf, daß sie eine Behinderung für ein auf das Behältnis zu stapelndes weiteres Behältnis, also für dessen Behälterfüße nicht darstellen können.So that the hinge pins and hinge elements do not hinder the stacking of containers, the former are arranged in corner areas of the container and have such a planar extent in plan view that they are a hindrance for another container to be stacked on the container, i.e. not for the container feet can represent.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich nicht nur aus den Ansprüchen, den diesen zu entnehmenden Merkmalen - für sich und/oder in Kombination-, sondern auch aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines den Zeichnungen zu entnehmenden bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels.Further details, advantages and features of the invention result not only from the claims, the features to be extracted from them - individually and / or in combination - but also from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment which can be found in the drawings.

In Fig. 1 ist in Seitenansicht ein erfindungsgemäßes Behältnis (10) in Form eines Kleincontainers zur Aufnahme von Abfällen, insbesondere von kontaminierten aktiven Abfällen dargestellt. Das Behältnis ist eine stabile, dichtgeschweißte Blechkonstruktion, wobei Seitenwandungen (dargestellt Seitenwandungen (12) und (14)) sowie Bodenwandung (16) gesickt sind.1 shows a side view of a container (10) according to the invention in the form of a small container for holding waste, in particular contaminated active waste. The container is a stable, tightly welded sheet metal construction, with side walls (shown side walls (12) and (14)) and bottom wall (16) are corrugated.

Die Ecken sind mit winkelförmigen Verkleidungen (18) versehen, die bodenseitig in Füße (20) und deckelseitig in Aufnahmetaschen (22) übergehen, die jeweils als Zentrierhilfen beim Stapeln dienen. Die Aufnahmetaschen (22) dienen gleichzeitig als Anschlagepunkte für Hebezeuge. Aus Gründen der Übelsichtlichkeit sind die zuletzt genannten Elemente nur im linken Teil der Fig. 1 dargestellt.The corners are provided with angular cladding (18) which merge into feet (20) on the bottom and into receiving pockets (22) on the cover side, which each serve as centering aids when stacking. The receiving pockets (22) also serve as attachment points for hoists. For reasons of clarity, the last-mentioned elements are only shown in the left part of FIG. 1.

Der Abstand zwischen dem oberen Rand (24) des Behältnisses (10) und der Standfläche (26) ist kleiner als die Breite des das Behältnis (10) verschließenden Verschlußdeckels (28), der in nachstehend beschriebener Weise mit dem Behältnis (10) schwenkbar verbunden ist.The distance between the upper edge (24) of the container (10) and the standing surface (26) is smaller than the width of the closure lid (28) which closes the container (10) and which is pivotally connected to the container (10) in the manner described below is.

Der Verschlußdeckel (28) ist einteilig ausgebildet, wobei bei geöffnetem Verschlußdeckel (28) die Öffnung des Behältnisses (10) frei zugänglich ist, also Störkanten nicht vorliegen, so daß ein schnelles und störungsfreies Be- und Entladen möglich ist.The closure lid (28) is formed in one piece, the opening of the container (10) being freely accessible when the closure lid (28) is open, ie there are no interfering edges, so that fast and trouble-free loading and unloading is possible.

Die Sicherung des das Behältnis (10) verschließenden Verschlußdeckels (28) erfolgt über Schnellspannverschlüsse (30) und Lochbleche (32), die in eine behälterseitige Verzahnung (Kerbstifte (34)) eingreifen. Hierbei wird der Verschlußdeckel (28) mit seiner innenliegenden umlaufenden Dichtung (36) gegen den oberen Rand (24) des Behältnisses (24) gedrückt.The closure of the closure (28) closing the container (10) is carried out by means of quick-release fasteners (30) and perforated plates (32) which engage in a toothing on the container side (notch pins (34)). Here, the closure lid (28) with its inner circumferential seal (36) is pressed against the upper edge (24) of the container (24).

Die Lochbleche (32) und Kerbstifte (34) können den jeweiligen Anfordernungen entsprechend ausgelegt sein. Dabei sind die Kerbstifte vorzugsweise schräg verlaufend angeordnet, um eine zusätzliche Sicherung insbesondere bei stoßartigen Beanspuchungen der Behältnisoberseite zu bieten.The perforated plates (32) and grooved pins (34) can be designed according to the respective requirements. The grooved pins are preferably arranged obliquely in order to provide additional security, in particular in the case of sudden loads on the top of the container.

Der Verschlußdeckel (28) greift mit in seien Längsseitenrändern verlaufenden Scharnierbolzen (38) in Kullissenschlitze (40) ein, die in Scharnierelementen (42) verlaufen, die ihrerseits vom oberen und gegenüberliegenden Randbereichen des Behältnisses (10) ausgehend. Die Scharnierelemente (42) sind dabei vorzugsweise an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwandungen des Behältnisses (10) befestigt und werden senkrecht von den als Schwenkachse wirkenden Scharnierbolzen (38) durchsetzt.The closure cover (28) engages with hinge bolts (38) which run in its longitudinal side edges in recessed slots (40) which run in hinge elements (42) which, in turn, start from the upper and opposite edge regions of the container (10). The hinge elements (42) are preferably attached to opposite side walls of the container (10) and are penetrated vertically by the hinge bolts (38) acting as a pivot axis.

Die Scharnierbolzen (38) gehen gemäß der Darstellung von Fig. 3 von einem rampenförmigen Laschenelement (144) aus, das auf der Oberseite (47) des Versclußdeckels (28) aufgeschweißt ist. Die Scharnierbolzen (38) werden dabei in den Laschen (144) vorzugsweise mittels Madenschrauben (146) befestigt, die ihrerseits von der Innenfläche des Verschlußdeckels (28) aus einbringbar sind.3, the hinge bolts (38) start from a ramp-shaped tab element (144) which is welded onto the top (47) of the closure cover (28). The hinge bolts (38) are fastened in the tabs (144) preferably by means of grub screws (146), which in turn are from the inner surface of the closure cover (28) can be introduced.

Das Scharnierelement (42) mit dem Kullissenschlitz (40) ist vergrößert in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Der Kullissenschlitz (40) weist in etwa eine C-Form auf, wobei ein länglicher Abschnitt (43) parallel zur Seitenwandung (14) verläuft. Von dem Abschnitt (43) gehen zwei kürzere Abschnite (44) und (46) aus, die ihrerseits in ihren Endbereichen nach unten versetzte Abschnitte (48) aufweisen, in denen die Scharnierbolzen (38) einerseits bei verschlossenem Behältnis bzw. andererseits bei vollständig geöffnetem Behältnis (10) verlaufen.The hinge element (42) with the Kullisseschlitz (40) is shown enlarged in Fig. 2. The Kullisseschlitz (40) has approximately a C-shape, with an elongated section (43) parallel to the side wall (14). Two shorter sections (44) and (46) emanate from section (43), which in turn have sections (48) offset downwards in their end regions, in which the hinge bolts (38) on the one hand when the container is closed or on the other hand when the container is fully open Container (10) run.

Insbesondere der als Aufnahme dienende Abschnitt (48) stellt sicher, daß bei vollständig geöffnetem Verschlußdeckel (28) ein unerwünschtes Rutschen den Scharnierbolzen (38) in den länglichen Abschnitt (42) hinein und damit schwerkraftbedingt in den unteren kürzeren Abschnitt (46) unterbleibtIn particular, the section (48) serving as a receptacle ensures that when the closure lid (28) is fully open, undesired slipping of the hinge pin (38) into the elongated section (42) and thus, due to gravity, into the lower, shorter section (46) does not occur

Der Abstand der Aufnahme (48) zu der Standfläche (26) ist so groß, daß bei in der Aufnahme (48) liegenden Scharnierbolzen (38) der freie vordere Stirnbereich (52) des Verschlußdeckels (28) zur Standfläche (26) beabstandet ist. Dies bedeutet, daß beim Öffnen des Verschlußdeckels (28) dieser dann nicht auf die Standfläche (26) aufschlagen kann, wenn bei einem ordnungsgemäßen Öffnen der Scharnierbolzen (38) in der Aufnahme (48) verharrt.The distance between the receptacle (48) and the standing surface (26) is so large that the free front end area (52) of the closure cover (28) is spaced apart from the standing surface (26) in the case of hinge bolts (38) lying in the receptacle (48). This means that when the closure cover (28) is opened, it cannot hit the standing surface (26) if the hinge bolt (38) remains in the receptacle (48) when the opening is properly opened.

Wie der rechte Teil der Fig. 1 verdeutlicht, geht von der Außenfläche des Verschlußelementes (28) eine Handhabe wie Griff (54) aus, die in einer von der Außenfläche (56) der Seitenwandung (14) ausgehenden Aufnahme (58) festlegbar ist. Hierdurch erfolgt eine Arretierung des Verschlußdeckels (28), so daß auch bei Transport eines geöffneten Behältnisses (10) ein unkontrolliertes Hin- und Herschwenken des Verschlußdeckels (28) nicht auftreten kann.As the right part of FIG. 1 illustrates, a handle such as a handle (54) starts from the outer surface of the closure element (28) and can be fixed in a receptacle (58) extending from the outer surface (56) of the side wall (14). This locks the closure cover (28) so that even when an open one is being transported Container (10) an uncontrolled swinging back and forth of the closure lid (28) can not occur.

Durch das Eingreifen der Scharnierbolzen (38) in die Kullissenschlitze (40) ist sichergestellt, daß bei geöffnetem Verschlußdeckel (28) dieser erwähntermaßen die Standfläche (26) nicht berühren kann. In diesem Fall ruht der Verschlußbolzen (38) in der Aufnahme (48) des Kullissenschlitzes (40).The engagement of the hinge pins (38) in the slot slots (40) ensures that, when the closure cover (28) is open, it cannot touch the standing surface (26). In this case, the locking bolt (38) rests in the receptacle (48) of the slot slot (40).

Wird der Verschlußdeckel (28) geschlossen, so wird bei gleichzeitigem Verschwenken des Verschlußdeckels (28) in Richtung der Seitenwandung (12) der Scharnierbolzen (38) entlang des parallel zur Seitenwandung (14) verlaufenden längeren Abschnittes (43) des Kullissenschlitzes (40) bewegt, um entlang des unteren kürzeren Schenkels (46) in Richtung des äußeren Endes (Bereichs (50)) zu rutschen. Hierbei erfolgt gleichzeitig ein weiteres Verdrehen des Versclußdeckels (28) derart, daß der unterhalb der Schwenkachse verlaufende Abschnitt der umlaufenden Dichtung (36) sicher auf den oberen Rand (24) des Behältnisses (10) derart zu liegen kommt, daß ein zu Undichtigkeiten führendes Wegquetschen oder ähnliches unterbleibt. Auch ist hierdurch sichergestellt, daß ein Zerstören der Dichtung durch häufiges Öffnen bzw. Verschließen des Behältnisses (10) ausgeschlossen ist.If the closure cover (28) is closed, the hinge pin (38) is moved along the longer section (43) of the slot slit (40) running parallel to the side wall (14) while the closure cover (28) is pivoted in the direction of the side wall (12) to slide along the lower shorter leg (46) towards the outer end (area (50)). At the same time, the closure cover (28) is rotated further in such a way that the section of the circumferential seal (36) below the pivot axis securely rests on the upper edge (24) of the container (10) in such a way that squeezing away leads to leaks or the like is omitted. This also ensures that the seal cannot be destroyed by frequent opening or closing of the container (10).

Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis weist vorzugsweise eine im wesentlichen gleichmäßige quaderförmige Geometrie mit einem Kantenmaß von 1.100 mm auf. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein Nutzvolumen von ca. 1 m³. Die Materialstärke sollte so ausgelegt werden, daß insgesamt 6 Kleincontainer (10) übereinander stapelbar sind.The container according to the invention preferably has a substantially uniform cuboid geometry with an edge dimension of 1,100 mm. This results in a usable volume of approx. 1 m³. The material thickness should be designed so that a total of 6 small containers (10) can be stacked on top of each other.
