Abstract

To protect tank fittings (22) against external mechanical and chemical influences, a casing (25) for fittings is provided, which casing is screwed to the container frame (13, 17) and is sealed off relative to the tank shell (10) by a permanently elastic sealing compound. The casing (25) for fittings is inserted only after the tank fittings (22) have been assembled and therefore does not obstruct the installation thereof. Owing to its firm connection to the container frame (13, 17), the casing (25) for fittings has a high rigidity. <IMAGE>

Description

Transporttanks weisen zum Befüllen und Entleeren am Tankmantel ansetzende Ventile und sonstige zum Teil teure und empfindliche Armaturen auf, die gegen unbefugte Betätigung und äußere Einflüsse geschützt werden müssen. Insbesondere beim Transport von Gefahrgut, etwa unter Druck verflüssigten Gasen, sind die Risiken durch beschädigte oder abgerissene Armaturen erheblich. Zum Schutz sind daher die Armaturen üblicherweise von einem Armaturenkasten umgeben, der am Tankmantel angebracht und mit einer Klappe verschlossen ist.Transport tanks have valves attached to the tank jacket for filling and emptying and other, in some cases, expensive and sensitive fittings that must be protected against unauthorized operation and external influences. Especially when transporting dangerous goods, such as gases liquefied under pressure, the risks from damaged or torn fittings are considerable. For protection, the fittings are therefore usually surrounded by a fitting box, which is attached to the tank jacket and closed with a flap.

Derartige Armaturenkästen müssen ausreichenden Schutz einerseits gegen Salzwasser von Straßen, Meerwasser, verschüttete aggressive Flüssigkeiten und sonstige schädliche Umwelteinflüsse und andererseits gegen Stöße durch scharfkantige Gegenstände (etwa Gabelstaplerzinken, Krangeschirre usw.) und sonstige mechanische Einwirkungen bieten. Andererseits sollen sie möglichst leicht sein, um das Taragewicht des Tanks nicht unnötig zu erhöhen.Such valve boxes must offer adequate protection on the one hand against salt water from roads, sea water, spilled aggressive liquids and other harmful environmental influences and on the other hand against impacts from sharp objects (e.g. forklift tines, crane harnesses, etc.) and other mechanical influences. On the other hand, they should be as light as possible so as not to unnecessarily increase the tare weight of the tank.

Die herkömmlichen Armaturenkästen, die entweder mit dem Tankmantel fest verschweißt oder nachträglich an am Tankmantel angeschweißten Dopplerblechen befestigt werden, erfüllen die genannten Forderungen nur unzulänglich. Meistens sind sie als dünnwandige Blechkästen ausgeführt und vermitteln daher nur unzureichenden Schutz gegen mechanische Beschädigung. Soweit massive Stahlrohrkonstruktionen eingesetzt werden, erhöhen sie das Leergewicht des Tanks.The conventional fitting boxes, which are either permanently welded to the tank jacket or subsequently attached to Doppler plates welded to the tank jacket, only insufficiently meet the requirements mentioned. Mostly they are designed as thin-walled tin boxes and therefore provide insufficient protection against mechanical damage. If massive tubular steel structures are used, they increase the empty weight of the tank.

Ein weiterer Nachteil üblicher Armaturenkästen besteht darin, daß sie beim Anschweißen am Tankmantel unerwünschte zusätzliche thermische Beanspruchungen des Tanks hervorrufen bzw. beim Ansetzen an Dopplerblechen zusätzliche Maßnahmen und Vorarbeiten erfordern.Another disadvantage of conventional valve boxes is that they cause undesirable additional thermal stresses on the tank when they are welded to the tank jacket or require additional measures and preparatory work when they are attached to Doppler plates.

Aus Gewichtsgründen und wegen des begrenzten, zur Verfügung stehenden Raumes sollen Armaturenkästen möglichst klein sein. Sie umgeben daher die Armaturen verhältnismäßig eng, woraus beim Stand der Technik die weitere Schwierigkeit resultiert, daß sie die Montage der Armaturen erschweren.For reasons of weight and because of the limited space available, fitting boxes should be as small as possible. They therefore surround the fittings relatively closely, which results in the further difficulty in the prior art that they complicate the assembly of the fittings.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Tankcontainer mit einem Armaturenkasten anzugeben, der die Nachteile herkömmlicher Konstruktionen möglichst weitgehend vermeidet, bei geringem Eigengewicht einen wirksamen Schutz insbesondere auch gegen mechanische Einwirkungen bietet, den Einbau der Armaturen nicht behindert und toleranzfreundlich und ohne Belastung des Tankmantels montierbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide a tank container with a fitting box that largely avoids the disadvantages of conventional constructions, provides effective protection, particularly against mechanical influences, with a low weight, does not impede the installation of the fittings and is tolerance-friendly and mountable without stressing the tank shell is.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet. Danach ist der Armaturenkasten, der die am Tankmantel austretenden Armaturen umgibt, nicht am Tankmantel sondern an dem den Tank mindestens teilweise umschließenden Rahmen befestigt und mit seinem dem Tank zugewandten Randbereich gegenüber dem Tankmantel abgedichtet. Die Befestigung am Rahmen verleiht dem Armaturenkasten erhebliche Steifigkeit, so daß er selbst bei Verwendung von verhältnismäßig dünnem Blech erhebliche mechanische Stöße aushält.The solution to this problem according to the invention is characterized in claim 1. Thereafter, the fitting box, which surrounds the fittings emerging from the tank shell, is not fastened to the tank shell but to the frame which at least partially surrounds the tank and is sealed with its edge area facing the tank from the tank shell. The attachment to the frame gives the fitting box considerable rigidity, so that it can withstand considerable mechanical shocks even when using relatively thin sheet metal.

Die weitere Tatsache, daß der Armaturenkasten mit dem Tankmantel selbst nicht starr verbunden - insbesondere nicht verschweißt - ist, bedeutet, daß zusätzliche Spannungen am Tankmantel vermieden werden. Derartige Spannungen ergeben sich bisher beim Anschweißen des Armaturenkastens oder einem diesen tragenden Dopplerblech. Weitere Spannungen können herkömmlicherweise auch daraus resultieren, daß ein starr befestigter Armaturenkasten elastische Deformationen, die der Tankmantel bei schweren Stößen ausführt, an dieser Stelle verhindert.The fact that the valve body is not rigidly connected to the tank jacket itself - in particular not welded - means that additional tensions on the tank jacket are avoided. Such tensions have previously arisen when the valve body is welded on or a Doppler plate carrying it. Further tensions can conventionally also result from the fact that a rigidly attached valve body prevents elastic deformations that the tank jacket carries out in the event of heavy impacts at this point.

Da der Armaturenkasten erfindungsgemäß nicht mit dem Tankmantel starr verbunden ist, braucht er auch nicht vor der Installation der Armaturen eingebaut zu werden und stellt daher keine Behinderung der Montagearbeiten dar, auch wenn er die Armaturen wie üblich eng umschließt. Beim Stand der Technik ist ein derartiger nachträglicher Einbau des Armaturenkastens nicht möglich, weil der Tank einschließlich aller fest mit ihm verbundenen Teile fertig lackiert sein muß, bevor die Armaturen installiert werden können.Since the valve box according to the invention is not rigidly connected to the tank jacket, it does not need to be installed before the valves are installed and therefore does not constitute an obstacle to the assembly work, even if it tightly encloses the valves as usual. In the prior art, such a subsequent installation of the valve box is not possible because the tank, including all parts firmly connected to it, must be finished before the valves can be installed.

Die nach Anspruch 2 vorgesehene dauerelastische Dichtmasse, mit der der zum Tankmantel hin offene Randbereich des Armaturenkastens gegenüber dem Tank abgedichtet ist, vermittelt einen ausreichenden Schutz gegen chemische Einflüsse und läßt gleichzeitig geringfügige Relativbewegungen zu, was zum Ausgleich unterschiedlicher Wärmeausdehnungen oder bei Stoßbelastungen von Vorteil ist.The permanently elastic sealing compound provided according to claim 2, with which the edge region of the fitting box which is open towards the tank jacket is sealed off from the tank, provides adequate protection against chemical influences and at the same time allows slight relative movements, which is advantageous for compensating for different thermal expansions or in the event of shock loads.

Die Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach Anspruch 3 ist insofern günstig, als sich der bis auf ein Wandteil vorgefertigte Armaturenkasten nach der Montage der Armaturen zwischen den Tankmantel und den Containerrahmen unabhängig von bei der Fertigung und Montage des Tanks unvermeidbaren Toleranzen so einfügen läßt, daß er sowohl am Rahmen als auch am Tank eng anliegt. Die nach Anspruch 4 und 5 vorgesehenen Maßnahmen sind dabei zum Ausgleich größerer Toleranzen zweckmäßig.The embodiment of the invention according to claim 3 is advantageous in that the valve box, which is prefabricated to a wall part, can be inserted after the installation of the valves between the tank jacket and the container frame, regardless of the inevitable tolerances in the manufacture and installation of the tank, so that it can be used both on The frame and the tank are tight. The measures provided for in claims 4 and 5 are appropriate to compensate for larger tolerances.

Die Weiterbildung der Erfindung nach Anspruch 6 ergibt einen Armaturenkasten mit insgesamt hervorragender Steifigkeit auch dann, wenn für den Armaturenkasten selbst verhältnismäßig dünnes Blech verwendet wird. Die Maßnahme des Anspruchs 7 gewährleistet dabei eine stabile Befestigung der die Armaturenkammer verschließenden Klappe.The development of the invention according to claim 6 results in a valve box with excellent overall rigidity even when relatively thin sheet metal is used for the valve box. The measure of claim 7 ensures a stable attachment of the valve closing the valve.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Darin zeigt

A preferred embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawings. In it shows
Figure 1
a partial section in a section plane perpendicular to the tank axis through the lower region of a tank container with the fitting box located there, and
Figure 2
a side view in the direction of arrow II of Figure 1.

In den Zeichnungen ist ein unterer Eckbereich eines Tankcontainers dargestellt, wobei der Tankmantel mit 10 bezeichnet ist und vom Containerrahmen ein unterer Eckbeschlag 11, eine Eckstütze 12 und ein unterer Längsholm 13 zu sehen sind. Die Eckstütze 12 bildet Teil eines Stirnrahmens, an dem der Tank, wie in Figur 2 angedeutet, über einen mit seinem Boden verbundenen Ringsattel 14 gelagert ist. In Längsrichtung ist der Tank ferner an einer Zwischenstelle über einen Quersattel 15 an einem unteren Querholm 16 des Rahmens abgestützt.In the drawings, a lower corner region of a tank container is shown, the tank jacket being designated 10 and a lower corner fitting 11, a corner support 12 and a lower longitudinal beam 13 being visible from the container frame. The corner support 12 forms part of an end frame, on which the tank, as indicated in FIG. 2, has one with its Ground connected ring saddle 14 is mounted. In the longitudinal direction, the tank is also supported at an intermediate point via a cross saddle 15 on a lower cross member 16 of the frame.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, ist in den dargestellten Eckbereich des Rahmens ferner ein kurzer mittlerer Längsholm 17 eingefügt, der an seinem in Figur 2 linken Ende mit der Eckstütze 12 verschweißt ist und am rechten Ende über eine kurze senkrechte Stütze 18 mit dem unteren Längsholm 13 verbunden ist. Zur weiteren Stabilisierung kann der Verbindungspunkt zwischen dem Längsholm 17 und der Stütze 18 über eine Diagonalstrebe 19 mit dem unteren Längsholm 13 verbunden sein. Zwischen die Längsholme 13, 17 ist ferner eine senkrechte Strebe 20 eingefügt, die zusammen mit den Rahmenteilen 13, 17 und 18 ein rechteckiges Fenster 21 definiert.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, a short, central longitudinal spar 17 is also inserted in the corner region of the frame, which is welded to the corner support 12 at its left end in FIG. 2 and to the lower longitudinal spar via a short vertical support 18 at the right end 13 is connected. For further stabilization, the connection point between the longitudinal beam 17 and the support 18 can be connected to the lower longitudinal beam 13 via a diagonal strut 19. A vertical strut 20 is also inserted between the longitudinal bars 13, 17 and defines a rectangular window 21 together with the frame parts 13, 17 and 18.

In den Zeichnungen sind ferner in feineren Linien Tankarmaturen eingezeichnet, die insgesamt mit 22 bezeichnet sind. In dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind zwei Ventile unterschiedlichen Querschnitts mit zugehörigen Anschlußstutzen sowie Betätigungs- und Absperrorganen veranschaulicht. Jedes Ventil setzt an einem am Tankmantel 10 vorgesehenen Montageflansch 23 an.In the drawings, tank fittings are also shown in finer lines, which are designated as a whole by 22. In the embodiment shown, two valves of different cross-section with associated connecting pieces and actuating and shut-off elements are illustrated. Each valve attaches to a mounting flange 23 provided on the tank jacket 10.

Die Armaturen 22 sind von einem Armaturenkasten 25 umgeben, der von zwei quer zur Tankachse stehenden, etwa trapezförmigen seitlichen Wandelementen 26, einer von den Längsholmen 13, 17 entfernten Rückwand 27, einem Boden 28 und einem schmalen oberen Wandelement 29 gebildet wird. Die Wandelemente 26, 27 und 28 sind aus einem zusammenhängenden Zuschnitt gefertigt und durch Kantung und Schweißung miteinander verbunden. Das obere Wandelement 29 weist an seinen Schmalseiten Falze 30 auf, über die es mit den seitlichen Wandelementen 26 verschraubt ist. Wie in Figur 1 zu sehen, weisen die beiden seitlichen Wandelemente 26 eine konkave bogenförmige Kante 31 auf, die dem Profil des Tankmantels 10 entsprechend geschnitten ist.The fittings 22 are surrounded by a fitting box 25 which is formed by two approximately trapezoidal side wall elements 26 which are transverse to the tank axis, a rear wall 27 removed from the longitudinal spars 13, 17, a base 28 and a narrow upper wall element 29. The wall elements 26, 27 and 28 are made from a coherent blank and connected to one another by edging and welding. The upper wall element 29 has folds 30 on its narrow sides, via which it is screwed to the side wall elements 26. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the two side wall elements 26 have a concave arcuate edge 31, which is cut in accordance with the profile of the tank jacket 10.

Wie aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, ist die nach außen weisende Öffnung des Armaturenkastens 25 größer als das von den Rahmenelementen 13, 17, 18 und 20 gebildete Fenster 21. An den senkrechten Streben 18 und 20 sind nach hinten weisende Laschen 32 angeschweißt, die mit senkrecht verlaufenden Langlöchern versehen sind. Im gleichen Bereich weisen die seitlichen Wandelemente 26 des Armaturenkastens 25 horizontal ausgerichtete Langlöcher auf. Beide Langlöcher werden jeweils von Schrauben durchsetzt, mit denen der Kasten 25 am Containerrahmen verschraubt ist.As can be seen from Figure 2, the outward opening of the valve box 25 is larger than the window 21 formed by the frame elements 13, 17, 18 and 20. On the vertical struts 18 and 20, rearward-facing tabs 32 are welded, which are perpendicular running elongated holes are provided. In the same area, the side wall elements 26 of the fitting box 25 have horizontally aligned elongated holes. Both slots are penetrated by screws with which the box 25 is screwed to the container frame.

An der unteren Fläche des mittleren Längsholms 17 sind Scharniere 34 für eine Klappe 35 vorgesehen, die so bemessen ist, daß sie gerade in das Fenster 21 hineinpaßt. Die Klappe 35 ist in ihrem unteren mittleren Bereich mit einem Griff 36 zum Öffnen versehen. Die Öffnungsbewegung wird von zwei seitlichen Gasdruckfedern 37 unterstützt, die die Klappe 35 in der in Figur 1 strichpunktiert gezeigten, schräg nach oben verlaufenden Öffnungsstellung halten. Die Gasdruckfedern 37 greifen so an der Klappe 35 an, daß sie beim Schließen über den Punkt ihrer kürzesten Länge hinweg geführt werden und daher die Klappe 35 auch in der Schließstellung beaufschlagen. Ein an der Innenseite der Klappe 35 lose angelenkter Bügel 38 erleichtert das Erfassen der Klappe beim Schließen.On the lower surface of the central longitudinal spar 17, hinges 34 are provided for a flap 35 which is dimensioned such that it just fits into the window 21. The flap 35 is provided with a handle 36 for opening in its lower central region. The opening movement is supported by two lateral gas pressure springs 37, which hold the flap 35 in the opening position, which is shown in dash-dotted lines in FIG. The gas pressure springs 37 engage the flap 35 in such a way that when they are closed they are guided past the point of their shortest length and therefore act on the flap 35 even in the closed position. A bracket 38 which is loosely articulated on the inside of the flap 35 makes it easier to grasp the flap when it closes.

Bei der Montage wird zunächst der Tank über die Sattelungen 14, 15 im Containerrahmen angeordnet und verschweißt, und die so gebildete Baugruppe wird lackiert. Sodann werden die Tankarmaturen 22 installiert.During assembly, the tank is first arranged and welded in the container frame via the saddles 14, 15, and the assembly thus formed is painted. The tank fittings 22 are then installed.

Anschließend wird der vorgefertigte, jedoch noch nicht mit dem oberen Wandelement 29 versehene Armaturenkasten 25 von unten her zwischen Tank und Rahmen über die Armaturen geschoben und im Bereich der Laschen 32 mit dem Rahmen verschraubt. Dabei dienen die Langlöcher zum Ausgleich von Toleranzen, so daß der Armaturenkasten 25 in jedem Fall so weit verschoben werden kann, daß er an den Innenflächen der Rahmenelemente 13, 17, 18 und 20 fest anliegt und mit seiner gewölbten Kante 31 den Tankmantel 10 erreicht. Sodann wird das obere Wandelement 29 aufgesetzt und an seinen Falzen 30 mit den seitlichen Wandelementen 26 verschraubt.Then the prefabricated, but not yet provided with the upper wall element 29 fitting box 25 is pushed from below between the tank and frame over the fittings and screwed to the frame in the area of the tabs 32. The elongated holes serve to compensate for tolerances, so that the fitting box 25 can in any case be moved so far that it bears firmly against the inner surfaces of the frame elements 13, 17, 18 and 20 and reaches the tank jacket 10 with its curved edge 31. Then it will upper wall element 29 placed and screwed at its folds 30 to the side wall elements 26.

Abschließend wird der von den Kanten 31 sowie den entsprechenden Kanten der Rückwand 27 und des oberen Wandelements 29 gebildete Randabschnitt des Armaturenkastens 25 mit einer (nicht gezeigten) dauerelastischen Dichtmasse gegenüber dem Tankmantel 10 abgedichtet.Finally, the edge section of the fitting box 25 formed by the edges 31 and the corresponding edges of the rear wall 27 and the upper wall element 29 is sealed with a permanently elastic sealing compound (not shown) against the tank jacket 10.
