Abstract

A transport container which is particularly suitable for the collection, interim compacting and transportation of refuse has a shell whose cross-section increases in an axial direction in order to facilitate the emptying of the compacted refuse at the further end. At least the two container side walls are formed from jacket shells 15 in the form of partial cylinders, each of which is welded by its lower edge to the oblique inner leg 13 of an angled rail 12. The angled rails 12 are, for their part, fixed parallel to the axial direction on a base plate 11. The weld seam of the lower edge of the jacket shell rises from one end of the container to the other along the inner leg 13, as a result of which the cross-section widening toward the rear is obtained. <IMAGE>

Description

Eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für das rationelle Sammeln und Transportieren von Haus- und sonstigem Müll ist die möglichst sofortige Reduzierung des Müll-Volumens. Insbesondere Verpackungen, aber auch andere Abfälle, sind sperrig und leicht, so daß der Transportaufwand von der Anfallstelle zur Verwertungsstelle oder Deponie wesentlich von dem zu transportierenden Volumen beeinflußt wird. Für einen wirtschaftlichen Mülltransport ist es daher wichtig, den Müll spätestens beim Einfüllen in den betreffenden Sammel- und/oder Transportbehälter zu verdichten oder kompaktieren.An essential prerequisite for the rational collection and transportation of domestic and other waste is the immediate reduction of the volume of waste. In particular, packaging, but also other waste, is bulky and light, so that the transport effort from the point of origin to the recycling point or landfill is significantly influenced by the volume to be transported. It is therefore important for economical waste transport to compact or compact the waste at the latest when it is filled into the relevant collection and / or transport container.

Durch das Kompaktieren der jeweiligen Teilfüllungen im Transportbehälter bis zur Bildung eines kompakten Müllpfropfens entstehen erhebliche Innendrücke, weil sich der immer stärker zusammengepreßte Müll mehr oder weniger gleichmäßig auf das verfügbare Behältervolumen verteilt. Der durch Nachfüllen bis zur Endphase des Sammelprozesses anwachsende Innendruck erzeugt erhebliche Reibung zwischen dem entstehenden Müllpfropfen und den Behälterwandungen.By compacting the respective partial fillings in the transport container until a compact garbage plug is formed, considerable internal pressures arise because the increasingly compressed garbage is more or less evenly distributed over the available container volume. The internal pressure that increases as a result of refilling up to the final phase of the collection process creates considerable friction between the resulting waste plug and the container walls.

An der Deponie oder verwertungsstelle ist wiederum ein möglichst einfaches und schnelles Entleeren des kompakt gefüllten Behälters wünschenswert. Wegen der genannten Reibung reicht insbesondere bei Behältern mit durchgehend konstantem Querschnitt ein einfaches Kippen häufig nicht aus.At the landfill or recycling point, it is again desirable for the compactly filled container to be emptied as simply and quickly as possible. Because of the above-mentioned friction, a simple tilting is often not sufficient, particularly in the case of containers with a constant cross-section.

Die Entleerung wird wesentlich unproblematischer, wenn der Behälter einen in Entleerungsrichtung sich vergrößernden Querschnitt hat. In diesem Fall kann der beim Einfüllen durch die wiederholte Kompaktierung entstandene Müllpfropfen durch nochmalige Betätigung des gegebenenfalls in dem Behälter vorhandenen hydraulischen Kompaktierungsstempels oder auch durch Rütteln oder sonstige Maßnahmen gelockert werden, wobei der sich vergrößernde Behälterquerschnitt dann eine schnelle gleitende Entleerung gewährleistet.Emptying becomes much less problematic if the container has a cross section that increases in the direction of emptying. In this case, the garbage plug created during the filling process due to the repeated compacting can be loosened by repeated actuation of the hydraulic compacting plunger that may be present in the container or by shaking or other measures, the enlarging cross-section of the container then ensuring rapid, smooth emptying.

Wegen der genannten, durch die wiederholte Verdichtung des Inhalts auftretenden erheblichen Innendrücke kommt es ferner darauf an, daß das Müll-Transportgefäß als möglichst druckfester Behälter ausgebildet ist.Because of the considerable internal pressures mentioned due to the repeated compression of the contents, it is also important that the garbage transport container is designed as a pressure-resistant container.

Ein Transportbehälter mit den im Oberbegriff der Patentansprüche 1 und 2 angegebenen Merkmalen ist aus DE-A-2039082 bekannt. Der Behältermantel stellt dort ein in sich geschlossenes Konstruktionselement dar, das in Längsrichtung von mehren Gurten umgeben ist. Der sich nach hinten erweiternde Querschnitt entsteht dadurch, daß für die Längswände rechteckige Bleche benutzt und zum Brechen der Ecken verwendete, entlang den Längskanten der Wände und zwischen diese eingeschweißte Blechbänder trapezförmig geschnitten werden.A transport container with the features specified in the preamble of claims 1 and 2 is known from DE-A-2039082. The container jacket represents a self-contained construction element, which is surrounded by several straps in the longitudinal direction. The cross-section that widens towards the rear is created by using rectangular sheets for the longitudinal walls and using them to break the corners, cutting trapezoidal sheet metal strips along the longitudinal edges of the walls and between them.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen druckfesten Transportbehälter, insbesondere zum Sammeln und Transportieren von verdichtetem Müll, mit in Entleerungsrichtung sich vergrößerndem Querschnitt anzugeben, der sich einfach fertigen läßt und den bei einer insgesamt quaderförmigen Umrißform gegebenen Raum möglichst gut ausnutzt.The invention has for its object to provide a pressure-resistant transport container, in particular for collecting and transporting compacted garbage, with an increasing cross-section in the emptying direction, which is easy to manufacture and which makes the best possible use of an overall rectangular outline shape.

Erfindungsgemäße Lösungen dieser Aufgabe sind in den Ansprüchen 1 und 2 angegeben.Solutions to this object according to the invention are specified in claims 1 and 2.

In beiden Fällen ergeben die wenigstens für die Behälterseitenwände benutzten teilzylindrischen Mantelschalen eine hohe Formstabilität und Druckfestigkeit. Die nach Anspruch 1 vorgesehene direkte Befestigung der Unterkanten der Mantelschalen an Profilschienen führt zu einem besonders widerstandsfähigen Behälteraufbau, der sich insbesondere für absetz- und abrollfähige Wechselbehälter oder auch als fester Fahrzeugaufbau eignet. Die Variante nach Anspruch 2 ist insofern günstig, als sie den Befestigungsbereich für die Unterkanten der Mantelschalen unabhängig von der verfügbaren Flanschbreite der Profilschiene vergrößert. Daraus resultieren eine besonders leichte Montierbarkeit sowie die Möglichkeit, auch bei begrenzter Walzbreite des für die Mantelschalen verwendeten Blechs das vorhandene Containerprofil optimal zu nutzen.In both cases, the partially cylindrical jacket shells used at least for the container side walls result in high dimensional stability and compressive strength. The direct attachment of the lower edges of the casing shells to profile rails, as provided for in claim 1, leads to a particularly resistant container structure, which is particularly suitable for removable and rollable swap bodies or also as a fixed vehicle structure. The variant according to claim 2 is advantageous in that it enlarges the fastening area for the lower edges of the jacket shells regardless of the available flange width of the profile rail. This results in particularly easy assembly and the possibility of making optimal use of the existing container profile even with a limited rolling width of the sheet used for the cladding shells.

Die Weiterbildung der Erfindung nach den Ansprüchen 4 bis 6 führt zu einem formstabilen Behälter mit besonders hoher Ausnutzung eines insgesamt quaderförmigen Raumes.The development of the invention according to claims 4 to 6 leads to a dimensionally stable container with particularly high utilization of an overall cuboid space.

Die Gestaltung nach den Ansprüchen 7 und 8 ist vom Standpunkt des Eigengewichtes, des Materialeinsatzes und der Arbeitskosten besonders günstig.The design according to claims 7 and 8 is from the standpoint the dead weight, the use of materials and the labor costs are particularly low.

Die Maßnahmen der Ansprüche 9 und 10 ergeben nicht nur eine Versteifung der Stirnwand gegen den von der Behälterfüllung ausgehenden Druck ohne zusätzliche Konstruktionselemente, sondern auch die für einen Hakentransport erforderlichen Vorkehrungen.The measures of claims 9 and 10 result not only in stiffening the end wall against the pressure emanating from the container filling without additional structural elements, but also in the precautions required for hook transport.

In der Ausführungsform nach Figur 1 und 2 ist der Transportbehälter als Container ausgebildet, von dem vier Eckbeschläge 10 dargestellt sind. Die Bodengruppe des Containers weist eine ebene Platte 11 auf, die die Behälter-Bodenfläche bildet. Auf die Platte 11 sind zwei L- Profil- oder Winkelschienen 12 mit den Außenkanten ihrer beiden Schenkel 13, 14 derart aufgeschweißt, daß sie Parallel zueinander in der senkrecht zur Zeichenebene der Figur 1 stehenden Axialrichtung verlaufen. Wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, ist der der Behältermitte zugewandte Innenschenkel 13 jeder Winkelschiene 12 kürzer und verläuft daher steiler als der Außenschenkel 14.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the transport container is designed as a container, four corner fittings 10 of which are shown. The bottom group of the container has a flat plate 11 which forms the bottom surface of the container. Two L-profile or angle rails 12 are welded onto the plate 11 with the outer edges of their two legs 13, 14 in such a way that they run parallel to one another in the axial direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the inner leg 13 of each angle rail 12 facing the center of the container is shorter and therefore runs steeper than the outer leg 14.

Die beiden Seitenwände des Behälters werden jeweils von einer teilzylindrischen Mantelschale 15 gebildet, die im ebenen Zustand parallele Ober- und Unterkanten aufweist. Die Unterkante jeder Mantelschale 15 ist an den Innenschenkel 13 der zugehörigen Winkelschiene 12 derart angeschweißt, daß die Schweißnaht 16 am einen Axialende des Behälters, das in Figur 2 das linke Ende ist, an oder nahe der Platte 11 beginnt und am anderen, in Figur 2 rechten Behälterende an oder nahe der Spitze der Winkelschiene 12 endet. Wegen der Schrägung des Innenschenkels 13 ergibt sich bereits eine gewisse Verbreiterung des unteren Behälterquerschnitts in Richtung des in Figur 2 rechten Endes, das das Entleerungsende des Behälters darstellt.The two side walls of the container are each formed by a partially cylindrical casing shell 15, which has parallel top and bottom edges in the flat state. The lower edge of each jacket shell 15 is on the inner leg 13 of the associated Angle rail 12 welded in such a way that the weld 16 begins at one axial end of the container, which is the left end in FIG. 2, at or near the plate 11 and ends at the other, right end of the container in FIG. 2, at or near the tip of the angle rail 12. Because of the inclination of the inner leg 13, there is already a certain widening of the lower container cross-section in the direction of the right end in FIG. 2, which represents the emptying end of the container.

Die Oberkante jeder Mantelschale 15 ist wiederum am Innenschenkel einer Winkelschiene 17 angeschweißt, die mit ihren beiden Kanten an einer Deckplatte 20 angeschweißt ist und von dem in Figur 2 linken Behälterende zum rechten Ende hin leicht schräg nach oben und außen verläuft. Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, wird die Deckplatte 20 von Querstreben 18 getragen, von denen einige über Vertikalstützen 19 mit der Bodengruppe verbunden sind.The upper edge of each jacket shell 15 is in turn welded to the inner leg of an angle rail 17 which is welded with its two edges to a cover plate 20 and runs slightly obliquely upwards and outwards from the container end on the left in FIG. 2 to the right end. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the cover plate 20 is supported by cross struts 18, some of which are connected to the floor assembly via vertical supports 19.

Gemäß der Darstellung in Figur 1 sind die oberen und die unteren Winkelschienen 12 und 17 in Querrichtung des Behälters jeweils nahe den Eckbeschlägen 10 angeordnet, wobei die Mantelschalen 15 bei mäßiger Wölbung noch vollständig innerhalb des strichpunktiert eingezeichneten, durch Eckstützen bestimmten Containerprofils liegen. Bei dieser Konfiguration ergibt sich eine hohe Ausnutzung des rechteckigen Containerquerschnitts.According to the representation in Figure 1, the upper and lower angle rails 12 and 17 are each arranged in the transverse direction of the container near the corner fittings 10, the jacket shells 15 with moderate curvature still completely within the dash-dotted, determined by corner supports container profile. With this configuration, the rectangular container cross-section is used to a high degree.

Im Gegensatz zu dem gemäß Figur 1 im wesentlichen kastenförmigen Profil hat der Transportbehälter nach Figur 3 ein etwa tunnelförmiges Profil, daß dadurch entsteht, daß zwei Mantelschalen 25 größerer Höhe verwendet werden, deren Oberkanten im Bereich 26 überlappend miteinander verschweißt werden. Die Breite des Überlappungsbereichs nimmt dabei gemäß Figur 3 vom einen zum anderen Behälterende hin ab. In Verbindung mit den an den Unterkanten der Mantelschalen 25 wie in Figur 1 ansteigenden Schweißnähten ergibt sich daraus ein zu dem besagten anderen Behälterende (Entleerungsende) sich vergrößernder Behälterquerschnitt.In contrast to the essentially box-shaped profile according to FIG. 1, the transport container according to FIG. 3 has an approximately tunnel-shaped profile that arises from the fact that two jacket shells 25 of greater height are used, the upper edges of which are welded to one another in the region 26. According to FIG. 3, the width of the overlap area decreases from one end of the container to the other. In conjunction with the weld seams rising at the lower edges of the jacket shells 25, as in FIG. 1, this results in a container cross-section that increases in size towards the other container end (emptying end).

Das Profil nach Figur 3 weist zwar im Vergleich zu dem nach Figur 1 eine etwas geringere Raumausnutzung auf, ist aber vom Standpunkt des Material- und Fertigungsaufwands sowie des Eigengewichts günstiger, selbst wenn man berücksichtigt, daß Außenversteifungen der Mantelschalen 25 gegenüber den Querstreben 18 und Vertikalstützen 19 vorzusehen sind, um ein Aufweiten in den Bereichen des kleinsten Biegeradius zu verhindern.The profile according to FIG. 3 has somewhat less space utilization than that according to FIG. 1, but it is from the point of view of the cost of materials and production, as well as the dead weight, even if one takes into account that external reinforcements of the jacket shells 25 are to be provided in relation to the cross struts 18 and vertical supports 19 in order to prevent expansion in the areas of the smallest bending radius.

In die in Figur 4 gezeigte, das engere Behälterende verschließende Stirnwand 30 ist ein zur vertikalen Mittelachse symmetrischer senkrechter Kanal 31 eingeformt. Gemäß seinem in Figur 5 gezeigten Querschnitt weist der Kanal 31 einen mittleren einspringenden und nach außen offenen Teil 32 auf, der an beiden Seiten von nach außen springenden Teilen 33 begrenzt wird. Dadurch ergeben sich insgesamt vier zueinander parallele (oder bei trapezförmigem Querschnitt des mittleren Teils 32 im wesentlichen parallele) Wandbereiche.A channel 31 which is symmetrical with respect to the vertical central axis is formed in the end wall 30 shown in FIG. 4 and closing the narrower container end. According to its cross section shown in FIG. 5, the channel 31 has a central projecting part 32 which is open to the outside and is delimited on both sides by parts 33 which project outwards. This results in a total of four wall regions that are parallel to one another (or essentially parallel in the case of a trapezoidal cross section of the central part 32).

In der oberen Hälfte des Kanals 31 ist ein Haken 34 angeordnet, der in den vier (im wesentlichen) parallelen Wandbereichen gelagert ist. An den Lagerstellen können die Wandbereiche verstärkt sein. Der Haken 34 dient zum Transport des Behälters etwa mittels eines hydraulischen Greifarms, für den der mittlere Teil 32 des Kanals 31 oberhalb und unterhalb des Hakens 34 den erforderlichen Freiraum bietet.A hook 34 is arranged in the upper half of the channel 31 and is mounted in the four (essentially) parallel wall regions. The wall areas can be reinforced at the bearing points. The hook 34 is used to transport the container, for example by means of a hydraulic gripping arm, for which the central part 32 of the channel 31 above and below the hook 34 offers the required free space.

Der Kanal 31 läßt sich durch übliches Kanten und/oder Pressen ohne großen Arbeitseinsatz in die Stirnwand 30 einformen und führt zu einer unaufwendigen und gewichtssparenden Versteifung. Bei Bedarf können zusätzliche Versteifungselemente 35 außen auf die Stirnwand 30 aufgeschweißt werden.The channel 31 can be molded into the end wall 30 by conventional edging and / or pressing without great labor and leads to an uncomplicated and weight-saving stiffening. If required, additional stiffening elements 35 can be welded onto the end wall 30 on the outside.

Im linken unteren Eckbereich von Figur 4 ist anstelle der in Figur 1 und 3 gezeigten L-Profil- oder Winkelschiene 12 eine T-Profilschiene 42 gezeigt, die so auf die ebene Bodenplatte 11 aufgesetzt ist, daß sie mit den Kanten ihres Fußes 44 und einer Seite ihres Querstegs 43 aufliegt. Der schräg nach außen ansteigende Quersteg 43 bietet für das Anschweißen der Unterkante der Mantelschale 25 eine größere Fläche als der Innenschenkel 13 der Winkelschiene 12 und läßt daher größere Fertigungstoleranzen zu.In the lower left corner area of Figure 4, instead of the L-profile or angle rail 12 shown in Figures 1 and 3, a T-profile rail 42 is shown, which is placed on the flat base plate 11 so that it has the edges of its base 44 and one Side of their crossbar 43 rests. The transverse web 43, which rises obliquely outwards, offers a larger area for welding the lower edge of the jacket shell 25 than the inner leg 13 of the angle rail 12 and therefore permits greater manufacturing tolerances.

In der im rechten unteren Eckbereich der Figur 4 dargestellten Variante wird der gleiche Vorteil dadurch erzielt, daß die Bodenplatte 51 mit einem schräg nach oben gekanteten Randbereich 52 versehen ist, der sich am Innenschenkel 13 der Winkelschiene 12 abstützt. In diesem Fall ist die Unterkante der Mantelschale 25 also nicht direkt an der Winkelschiene 12, sondern am Randbereich 52 der Bodenplatte 51 angeschweißt.In the lower right corner of Figure 4 shown Variant, the same advantage is achieved in that the bottom plate 51 is provided with an obliquely upwardly bent edge region 52 which is supported on the inner leg 13 of the angle rail 12. In this case, the lower edge of the shell 25 is not welded directly to the angle rail 12, but to the edge area 52 of the base plate 51.

Die Transportbehälter wurden oben am Beispiel von eigenständigen Containern beschrieben. Das gleiche Konzept läßt sich auch bei Wechselbehältern ebenso wie bei festen Fahrzeugaufbauten anwenden, wobei die den Behälterboden bildende Platte dann Teil des Fahrzeugs ist. Der beschriebene Behälter ist insbesondere zum Sammeln, Kompaktieren und Transportieren von Müll geeignet, wobei das Entleerungsende des Behälters in üblicher Weise gestaltet sein kann. Ferner kann ein derartiger MüllTransportbehälter mit den üblichen hydraulischen Kompaktiereinrichtungen versehen sein.The transport containers were described above using the example of independent containers. The same concept can also be used for swap bodies as well as for fixed vehicle bodies, the plate forming the base of the container then being part of the vehicle. The container described is particularly suitable for collecting, compacting and transporting waste, and the emptying end of the container can be designed in a conventional manner. Furthermore, such a garbage transport container can be provided with the usual hydraulic compacting devices.
