Definitions

  • the bulk materials in question here are those that can be used at a workplace, e.g. B. at a construction site mortar, plaster, plaster, cement, sand, lime. But other bulk goods are also possible, such as flour for the bakery trade and other economic sectors.
  • the transport container according to the invention can be used wherever, on the one hand, at a work station, such as must be mixed on site or in the bakery, but on the other hand larger quantities of bulk goods over long distances, e.g. B. must be transported on load routes or by train.
  • packaging such as Paper bags or foils. This is intended to avoid disposal and waste problems, as well as the removal of residual content as special waste.
  • Transport containers are known, for. B. according to US-A-3 104 035, which can accommodate large quantities of bulk material, in any case a multiple of a single sack.
  • Such transport containers taper downwards, either in the form of a cone or in the form of a pyramid.
  • the lower opening can be closed by a flap, and it is necessary to provide a channel below the flap that can accommodate the opened flap.
  • Such transport containers can be assigned a tube (see DE-C-339 912), which is a conveying device for the bulk material, for. B. in the form of a screw and a mixing device, for. B. with water inlet (see DE-A-31 00 443).
  • a device of this type can be removed for transport (see WO-A-84/04955) so that the transport container is relieved of it.
  • Transport containers of this type have a very significant disadvantage: many bulk goods tend to clump together. This clumping occurs particularly due to the shaking movements during transport. The bulk material then no longer easily leaves the container which has been set up again after the transport. Extra measures have to be taken to make the bulk material flowable again, which is cumbersome and delays ordinary work, for example on construction.
  • the present invention is intended first of all to create a transport container which also has sloping walls which taper downwards and which can also cooperate with a conveying device, but which should, however, offer the possibility of bulk material which has become stuck, thickened and clumped during transport without additional work to make it flowable again.
  • the bulk material should be able to be removed directly from the container.
  • the inclined walls directly into a floor pan, in which a longitudinal section of a shaft provided with conveyor paddles is mounted, while a drive motor and another longitudinal section of the drive shaft are removable and need to be attached to the job .
  • the transport container designated as a whole by 1 (FIGS. 1 and 2) has vertical side walls 3 and vertical end walls 5 in its upper region. It is closed at the top by a cover plate 7 in which a filling opening 9 is provided. A pipe socket 11, which surrounds the filling opening, can be closed by a circular cover plate 13.
  • the vertical side walls 3 merge into inclined walls 15 below.
  • the vertical end walls 5 merge into inclined walls 17 and 18 below.
  • the inclined walls 15 merge into a floor pan 20 which is open towards the interior of the transport container.
  • the inclined wall 18 attaches to the closed end of the floor pan on the right in FIG. 1.
  • the floor pan 20 is open at its left end in FIG. 1. It is continued there by an outlet pipe 22 which, like the floor pan, runs horizontally, has a circular cross section and has an outlet nozzle 24 at its left end.
  • a drive shaft 26 runs inside the floor pan 20, namely in the longitudinal direction thereof and along the axis of the dispensing tube 22, and can be driven by a drive motor 28, in particular an electric motor, attached to the right, closed end of the floor pan 20.
  • the drive motor 28 is removably attached. Different parts are attached to the drive shaft 26 in three different sections.
  • conveyor paddles 30 are attached in the form of plates which project transversely from the drive shaft, but are inclined as if they were parts of screw surfaces.
  • the conveyor paddles are arranged at mutual angular distances of 90 ° and offset in the longitudinal direction of the shaft.
  • a metering screw 32 which is designed as a screw surface and has a pitch of 20 to 50 mm, in particular 35 mm, is arranged in an intermediate region 26.4 of the drive shaft which adjoins to the left.
  • Mixing vanes 34 and conveyor vanes 36 are attached in an outer region 26.6 of the drive shaft. Both types of wings are arranged at mutual angular distances of 90 ° and are also offset from one another.
  • the mixing blades 34 overlap.
  • the mixing blades are plates that run axially and radially to the drive shaft and have a length that is approximately twice as large as their radial height.
  • the conveying vanes 36 are narrow flat irons, which are arranged similarly to the conveying paddles 30. They are therefore mounted somewhat rotated about their own longitudinal axis.
  • the dispensing tube 22 has an inner section 22.2, which is firmly attached to the left end of the floor pan 20 and ends in the area between two supports 4. This is where an outer section 22.4 of the dispensing tube comes into play. At this outer section 22.4, a water inlet 50 with a lid is provided at the top, so that water can be added to the dry bulk material.
  • the outer section is detachably connected to the inner section 22.2 by a plug connection. The outer section can thus be removed for transport and later reinserted and fixed by a lock, not shown. The resulting opening on the inner section 22.2 can be closed by a cover for transport.
  • the drive shaft 26 can also be divided. It also has plug connections, in particular with splines each, so that a non-rotatable connection is established when inserted.
  • the container can be made of steel, aluminum or plastic and, viewed in plan, has the dimensions of a DIN Euro pallet, namely 1200 mm x 800 mm, which makes it easier and cheaper to transport.
  • On the four supports 4 of the container foot 38 are arranged below, which either serve as feet or serve to place the container on a support frame according to FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • This trestle which is designated as a whole by 40, has four vertical corner posts 42, the top receiving openings 43 for the foot pin 38 of the container and bottom feet 44.
  • the corner posts 42 are mutually by cross struts 44, 46, 48, z. B. connected in the form of square tubes.
  • the support frame according to Figures 3 and 4 can, for. B. can be used at a construction site when a larger dispensing height for the mixed products is desired, i.e. a free space below the dispensing nozzle 24.
  • the support frame 40 also has the outline dimensions of a DIN Euro pallet. During transport, building materials and the like can still be accommodated on the cross struts 44 and 48, so that the space required for the support frame can be used additionally. Scaffolding parts, boards, planks and auxiliary tools for the craftsmen can be transported here to supply a construction site.
  • a motor-driven vibrator 54 is removably attached to the outside of the inclined wall 15.
  • the shaker can also be dismantled for transport to save weight. It can be driven electrically via lines (not shown) and serves to convey the bulk material into the floor pan 20.
  • the drive motor 28 can preferably be operated with 220 volts (16 A) so that it can be connected to normal sockets.
  • the bulk goods transported in the transport container can e.g. B. at a construction site, in particular with the addition of water, mixed to ready-mixed mortar, plaster, concrete, plaster, the metering screw under the influence of a control device, not shown here, can ensure that a very specific amount of bulk material is conveyed per unit of time accordingly e.g. B. a very specific amount of water flowing into the water inlet 15, so that the desired consistency of the wet mix results. It can usually be due to the use of another mixing device on the spot, e.g. B. a construction site.
  • z. B. for the delivery of grain or flour to a bakery. Water can also be mixed in there.
  • the weight and dimensions of the transport container have been adapted to those of the DIN Euro pallets, so that there are no problems with the use of forklifts in industry, for forwarding and trading, and that craftsmen also have no loading problems.
  • the transport container including the components remaining on it, namely the conveyor device inside the floor pan and the dosing screw, has an empty weight of between 90 kg and 2 tons.
