Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stackable barrel, preferably a large volume barrel made of thermoplastic Plastic, e.g. PE (polyethylene), or steel, with im essential cylindrical barrel wall and top and underside barrel bottom, in the near range at least the upper barrel bottom on the outer barrel wall a circumferential gripping ring (handling ring) is provided and at least one of the two disc-shaped ones flat barrel bottoms over a cross-sectional view almost conical or curved in the axial direction to the outside over the barrel gripping ring protruding ring piece with the Barrel wall is connected.
  • PE polyethylene
  • Plastic sheet drums are generally known, the Flat and barrel bottoms on the top and bottom on an incline conical or rounded ring part with the cylindrical barrel walls are connected, e.g. from the German utility model DE-U-87 05 916. Since at such barrels mostly the surrounding hand rims also take over the function of roller tires they are essentially in the radial direction from the outer barrel wall from; continues to exist comparatively large axial projection of the barrel bottoms in Axial direction outwards or a considerable one Spacing the barrel bottoms over the obliquely conical Ring part of these outwardly projecting hand rims.
  • the wall thickness of a plastic barrel can be, for example, from 3.8 mm can be reduced to 3.3 mm to 3.2 mm. This results in advantageously reducing the operating weight an empty barrel of e.g. 9.0 kg to approx. 8.5 kg and material savings of the plastic raw material.
  • the barrels according to the invention additionally show through their exploited stabilizing internal pressure a much cheaper Long-term stacking behavior than other known plastic drums on. Due to the axial pressurization of the barrel bottoms and their The barrel jacket needs support on the respective pallet bases only carry a reduced stacking load.
  • the reference number 10 denotes the barrel jacket of a generally known, comparatively thin-walled plastic barrel, in which the top bottom 12 of the barrel is connected to the barrel jacket 10 via an obliquely conical ring piece 14.
  • a circumferential L-shaped upper gripping ring 16 is arranged in the transition area from the conical ring piece 14 into the barrel casing 10.
  • the barrel is filled with a liquid (filling material) 18 approximately up to the height of the gripping ring 16, a gas space 20 remaining free below the upper floor 12, which projects high above the outer gripping ring 16.
  • FIG. 1 Another already known drum made of comparatively thick-walled plastic is shown in FIG .
  • the upper gripping ring 24 extends far in the axial direction in extension of the barrel wall 28 beyond the barrel top 26.
  • a bung barrel according to the invention with a comparatively thin-walled, essentially cylindrical plastic barrel wall 30, top floor 32 and bottom floor 34 is shown in FIG .
  • a molded-in filling / emptying bung 36 is arranged in the edge region of the flat, flat top floor 32.
  • An upper gripping ring 38 and a lower gripping ring 40 are provided in the vicinity of the barrel wall 30.
  • Barrel top 32 and barrel bottom 34 are connected to the barrel jacket via a conical ring piece 42, 44. This results in a circumferential free space 46 behind the gripping rings 38, 40 for engaging the claws of a corresponding drum gripper or a crane hook.
  • the upper or lower drum base 32, 34 protrude beyond the end face 48, 50 of the respective gripping ring 38, 40. 5
  • the protrusion 52 of the upper drum base 32 over the upper gripping ring 38 and the protrusion 54 of the lower drum base 34 over the lower gripping ring 40 is approximately twice as much as the wall thickness of the drum wall 30.
  • FIG. 6 the case of loading of the barrel according to the invention is shown schematically by a pallet 56 placed on it, which exerts a compressive force on the barrel with a stacking load P s .
  • a defined, reproducible internal pressure P i of approximately 0.16 bar is built up inside the filled and tightly closed barrel, so that the axial loading of the barrel jacket 30 takes place only after radial prestressing. This advantageously gives a superposition of partially compensating axial and tangential tensile stresses and axial compressive forces.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 Another positive effect is illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 .
  • an additional stabilizing compressive force in the radial surface direction - illustrated by arrow 58 - acts on the barrel jacket 30 from the inside in the connection area 60 between the barrel casing 30 or the upper gripping ring 38 and the cover ring piece 42.
  • a substantial part of the compression force is exerted in the axial direction on the end edge 48 of the upper gripping ring 38 Barrel wall initiated.
  • FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 Another embodiment of a barrel according to the invention is shown in the form of a lid barrel (wide-necked container) in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 .
  • the upper gripping ring 38 is arranged in the peripheral region of the barrel cover 62.
  • the drum cover 62 is supported with its lower peripheral flange 64 on a jacket flange 66 projecting from the outer drum wall 30.
  • the upper edge of the barrel casing 30 engages in a U-shaped recess in the barrel cover 62, in which a sealing ring 68 is arranged.
  • the cover 62 can be prestressed and tightly closed on the barrel opening or barrel wall in a gas-tight and liquid-tight manner.
  • the surface of the barrel cover 62 has a protrusion 52 of approximately three times the wall thickness of the cover or barrel barrel over the end edge 48 of the upper gripping ring 38.
  • the cover 62 is pressed inwards by the height of the protrusion, so that the internal pressure P i has built up in the barrel and axial compressive forces from the upper gripping ring 38 via the cover flange 64 and the jacket flange 66 in the axial direction the barrel jacket 30 can be initiated.
  • the conical ring part 42 has a defined crumple zone, for example formed by a circumferential groove profile, which improves the elasticity or resilience of the barrel lid in this area.
  • the barrel casing is stiffened, so that this lid barrel also has better stacking properties and improved long-term stacking behavior due to its special design.
  • the barrel gripping rings could, for example, in a modification of the invention also as separate prefabricated ring pieces on the outer Barrel jacket put on, shrunk on, glued on and / or welded on be.
  • the barrel design according to the invention could also be realized in a bung barrel by prefabricating the entire top floor and / or bottom floor with the respective gripping ring as a separate individual part (for example injection molding) and then welding it to the cylindrical barrel jacket.
  • the increase in the stackability, in particular the long-term stackability, of large-volume drums with at least one circumferential drum gripping ring arranged on the outer drum wall in the vicinity of the corresponding drum bottom and at least one drum bottom projecting beyond the drum gripping ring in the axial direction is achieved functionally by stacking one on top of the other of barrels in the lower gas-tight barrels in the remaining residual gas space and in the filler or the liquid, initially by means of elastic compliance of the top and / or bottom, an internal hydrostatic pressure between 0.1 and 0.3 bar, preferably about 0.16 bar, is built up before vertical stacking load is introduced into the barrel wall via the outer barrel edge or gripping ring and thus an improved stacking behavior, in particular long-term stacking behavior, can be achieved.
