Definitions

  • the invention relates to a swing door for containers, consisting of at least one hinged at the front end of the container profiled door leaf, in which locking rods are held between an inner and outer boundary plane formed by the profiling of the leaf, the door leaf seen from its outside with one or more recesses is provided, in which the locking rods run.
  • a door for trucks known from fiberglass which consists of an outer surface and an inner surface, between which insulating material is housed and in which an elongated recess is provided on the outside, in which a locking rod is arranged can be.
  • pivoting doors At the opening-side end of the side wall of the container which, depending on the size dimensions of the container, are designed as single or more often double-leaf doors.
  • These doors can be held in the closed position with the aid of locking bars, the locking bars being generally operable via swivel levers and interacting with locking elements fastened to the upper and lower container walls for locking or in the closed position.
  • FR-A-24 67 959 proposes a hinged profiled door leaf at the front end of the container, on which a seal surrounding the leaf is held, which is provided with sealing lips in the The closed position of the door rests on the door stop surfaces of the container and in which the locking rods provided with pivoting levers between one through the profiling of the leaf formed inner and outer boundary plane of the door leaf are held.
  • the profiling of the known doors consists of a reinforcing profile running along the edge of the door leaf or doors in the form of a U-shaped or closed box-shaped profile, as well as ribs running parallel to the locking rods and spaced apart from one another, which extend over the height of the door leaf or the door leaves extend.
  • the seal of the known design is designed as a multi-lip seal, two lips in each case in the closed position of the door leaf (s) resting against the door stop surfaces of the container or, in the case of a double-leaf door, additionally against the stop surface formed by the one door.
  • the dimensional stability of the known door is essentially determined by the height of the webs and by the dimensioning of the profiles running along the edge of the door leaf, the dimensioning of these profiles in the direction perpendicular to the door leaf plane being of particular importance.
  • This has the consequence that with increasing the dimensional stability of the door its axial extension, i.e. Dimensioning, grows in the direction of the container length and, given the external dimensions of the container, the door leaf protrudes further into the container interior in accordance with its axial extension in the direction of the container length, thereby reducing the useful space of the container.
  • the invention has for its object to propose a swinging door that is suitable for containers even with tougher loads and in which, even with a small axial extension of the door compared to the known prior art, a substantial increase in dimensional stability is achieved with little construction .
  • the opening door mentioned according to the invention is characterized in that the outside of the door leaf is divided by the recesses into a plurality of longitudinal fields running parallel to the locking rods and within the inner and outer boundary planes of the door leaf several parallel across the longitudinal fields of the door leaf at a distance parallel to each other extending C- or U-shaped profiles are provided that the recesses are U-shaped and gusset plates with tube sections attached to them are arranged in them for fixing the locking rods as sliding guides for the locking rods, that the locking rods each attached above and below each tube section Wear support rings and are provided with swivel levers and that a seal enclosing the leaf is held on the door leaf and rests on the door stop surfaces of the container via sealing lips in the closed position of the door.
  • the locking rods not only serve to hold the swing door or door leaves securely in the closed position and to press them against the stop surfaces of the container, but they are also used to increase the stability of the door against deformation. This is done by fixing them by means of the gusset plates and the pipe sections held thereon in connection with the support rings attached to the locking rods above and below each pipe section.
  • the locking rods thus serve at the same time as stiffening elements which counteract deformations of the door both when forces occur in the direction of the door leaf plane and perpendicularly to it.
  • the gusset plates held in the U-shaped recesses are aligned with the C- or U-shaped profiles, which extend parallel to one another across the longitudinal fields of the door leaf at a distance. Due to the aforementioned aligned arrangement of the gusset plates with the C- or U-shaped profile parts the same effect is achieved as if the C or U-shaped profiles each extend across the entire width of the door. The forces to be transmitted by the C- or U-shaped profiles do not have to be absorbed by the side walls of the U-shaped recesses with the locking rods held therein, and deformations of these side walls are thereby avoided.
  • the gusset plates can be arranged in pairs so that they are aligned with the free legs of the adjacent C- or U-shaped profiles.
  • each of the gusset plates consists of two sheet metal layers which are releasably connected to one another, one of which is firmly connected to the tube section and the other is firmly connected to the wall of the U-shaped recess for receiving the locking rods.
  • the locking rods With the tube sections which receive them in a sliding manner and with the layers of the gusset plates held thereon, and to connect them by connection to the sheet metal layers of the gusset plates firmly held in the U-shaped recess.
  • they can be replaced together with the tube sections receiving them and the layers of the gusset plates held thereon.
  • the edge of the door leaf facing this wall is designed to spring back and in alignment with the C or U-shaped profiles extending tabs are attached to the door leaf, which protrude beyond the door leaf and at their free ends hinge pins are arranged, which in tubular or sleeve-shaped receptacles intervene and that the joint connections thus formed lie within the area between the inner and outer boundary plane of the door leaf.
  • the tabs Due to the aligned arrangement of the tabs with the C- or U-shaped profiles, the tabs also contribute to the dimensional stability of the door leaf.
  • the seal in the closed position of the door has three sealing lips on the door stop surfaces of the door Containers and that the door leaf along its edge, which is articulated to the side wall of the container, has a bend perpendicular to the door leaf plane, on which the seal is fastened so that it has its lips in the direction of the door leaf plane or on the container side wall indicates, while the seal in the remaining area of the door leaf is attached to recessed wall sections running parallel to the door leaf plane so that their lips point in the direction transverse to the door leaf plane.
  • the articulation of the door leaves on the container side wall is provided by means of a double hinge system.
  • a double hinge is provided for pivoting the door leaf with the container side wall, which has two parallel, vertical axes of rotation.
  • one of the axes of rotation is fixed to the container side wall and the other of the axes of rotation is assigned to the door leaf, both axes of rotation are connected by a common hinge element rotatable about both axes of rotation and the hinge element thus enables a pivoting movement about both axes of rotation relative to the container side wall.
  • Such a double hinge system is particularly useful for container swing doors according to the invention, since it further supports the space-saving filling possibility without requiring additional space for the door leaf.
  • the drawing shows exemplary embodiments of the invention.
  • the swing door shown in FIG. 1 consists of the two door leaves I and II, which are each articulated at the front end of a container on the opposite side walls.
  • the door leaves I and II are, except for their interacting abutment surfaces in the area of the closing gap S (see also FIG. 2), formed identically in mirror image.
  • the door leaf seen from the outside has two U-shaped recesses 1 and 2, in which locking rods 3 and 4 are received, each of which extends over the entire height of the door leaf I or II and on their end up are equipped with fork-shaped closure elements (see Fig. 3) with which they engage behind mushroom-shaped counter-elements 7 and 8 in the closed position behind in the example of FIG. 3.
  • gusset plates 15 which are adapted to these recesses are welded into the U-shaped recesses 1 and 2 and, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, consist of two subsections 15a and 15b.
  • the gusset plates 15 are also firmly connected to pipe sections 16, preferably welded, which in turn serve as sliding guides for the locking rods 3 and 4.
  • the tube sections 16 are each firmly connected to two gusset plates, which in turn run in alignment with the C- or U-shaped profiles 13 and 14, so that there is a stiffening extending across the door leaf.
  • the locking rods 3 and 4 are each provided above and below each tube section 16 with support rings 17 and 18, which are held stationary on the locking rods 3 and 4, so that the locking rods 3 and 4 no longitudinal movements , but can only perform swiveling movements around its longitudinal axis. In this way it is achieved that the locking rods 3 and 4 simultaneously form stiffeners in the vertical direction of the door leaf and can absorb forces occurring in the direction of the door leaf plane as well as transverse deformation forces.
  • the described design and arrangement of the locking rods 3 and 4 achieves an increased dimensional stability of the door leaf for absorbing lateral thrust forces, which occur during transport onto the container, in particular when arranged in a stack, for example be effective when swinging during ship transport or when cornering land vehicles.
  • the described gusset plates 15, which in the example shown are welded both to the walls of the U-shaped depressions 1 and 2 and to the pipe sections 16, can also each consist of two sheet layers, the one position being fixed to the pipe section 16 and the another is firmly connected to the walls of the U-shaped recesses 1 and 2.
  • the two sheet metal layers interacting in each case can be connected to one another by screw connections or else by welding.
  • the double-layer design of the gusset plates 15 has the advantage that the locking rods 1 and 2 with the associated pipe sections 16 and the one position of the gusset plates 15 can be preassembled in order to be installed in a simple assembly process after profiling the door leaf. With a screw connection of the respective sheet metal layers of the gusset plates 15, there is the further advantage of a possible quick exchange without any welding work being required.
  • the end of the door leaf facing the container wall is designed to spring back or taper.
  • tabs 20 are fastened on the outside in alignment with the C- or U-shaped profiles, at the free ends of which each hinge pin 21 is held, which in turn engages in tubular or sleeve-shaped receiving devices (22), which in turn are attached to the container wall. 2 is within the door thickness described above and does not form any parts that protrude outwards.
  • a seal 22 fastened to the door leaf or door leaves is provided between the door stop surfaces of the front end of the container and the door leaf or door leaves.
  • one door leaf is equipped with a seal 22a in the area of the separating gap 5, while the other door leaf forms a separate stop surface 23.
  • the seals 22 and 22a are each designed as lip seals which rest against these stop surfaces along the entire door stop surfaces with three lips. It is provided according to FIG. 2 that the door leaf in the region of the articulation point is equipped with a bend 24 pointing perpendicular to the plane of the door leaf, on which the seal 22 is fastened so that it points with its lips towards the container side wall, while in the remaining region of the door leaf, the seal 22 according to FIG. 3 is fastened to respective recessed wall sections running parallel to the door leaf plane in such a way that their lips point in the direction transverse to the door leaf plane.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show an articulation of the door leaf on the container side wall by means of a double hinge system.
  • Two vertical, parallel axes of rotation 31 and 32 have a hinge element 33 enclosing the two axes of rotation and rotatable about both axes of rotation.
  • the axis of rotation 31 is fixed to the side wall of the container, the axis of rotation 32 is permanently assigned to the door leaf, the respective elements being rotatable about these axes of rotation.
  • the axis of rotation 32 with the door leaf can be pivoted about the axis of rotation 31 by means of the hinge element 33 such that they no longer come to lie in the region of the door opening, but rotated exactly 180 ° on the other side of the axis of rotation 31 and enable them then a further rotation of the door leaf about the axis of rotation 32 until it is fully opened. This creates an opening area of 270 °.
