Abstract

The transport and storage container is for bulk pourable material and has stand feet together with an opening (16) on its under side. It is closable by opposing flaps (37,38) pivotable around a rotary axis (39,40). In the interior of the container (11) opposite to the opening is a blocking body (32) and the flaps are movable in location on the blocking body, in order to close the container. They are movable away from the blocking body in order to open the container, forming a funnel of variable opening size. The blocking body is arranged above the rotary axes of the flaps, and the flaps both in an upwardly directed position and in a position in which they are directed along a line, close the container. The container has a basic surface of approx. 80 x 120 cm. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transport- und Vorratsbehälter für Schüttgüter und zähflüssige Güter mit Standfüßen sowie mit einer öffnung an seiner Unterseite, die mit sich gegenüberliegenden, um je eine Drehachse verschwenkbaren Klappen verschließbar ist.The invention relates to a transport and storage container for bulk goods and viscous goods with feet and with an opening on its underside, which can be closed with flaps opposite one another, each pivotable about an axis of rotation.

Derartige Behälter sind vor allem aus dem Baugewerbe bekannt. Verwendet werden sie auf Baustellen für größere Mengen schüttfähiger Baumaterialien wie beispielsweise Kies, Mörtel oder Putze. Unter der öffnung der Behälter kann eine Maschine zur Vermischung der Materialien mit Wasser angeordnet werden. Für kleinere Materialmengen sind diese Behälter jedoch zu groß. Außerdem ist aufgrund ihrer Große und ihres Gewichts ein Standortwechsel der Behälter auf der Baustelle praktisch nicht möglich. Nachteilig an den bekannten Behältern ist zudem, daß im befüllten Zustand die gesamte Last des Behälterinhaltes auf den verschwenkbaren Klappen ruht. Beim öffnen der Klappen kommt zu dieser statischen Last noch eine dynamische Kraft hinzu, die ein öffnen und Schließen der Klappen für eine dosierte Abgabe des Behälterinhaltes erschwert.Such containers are mainly known from the construction industry. They are used on construction sites for large quantities of pourable building materials such as gravel, mortar or plaster. A machine for mixing the materials with water can be arranged under the opening of the containers. However, these containers are too large for smaller quantities of material. In addition, due to their size and weight, changing the location of the containers on the construction site is practically impossible. Another disadvantage of the known containers is that, when filled, the entire load of the container contents rests on the pivotable flaps. When the flaps are opened, a dynamic force is added to this static load, which makes opening and closing the flaps difficult for a metered delivery of the container contents.

Für kleinere Mengen schüttfähiger Baumaterialien sind heutzutage noch keine Behälter bekannt, die sowohl einen Transport der Materialien zur Baustelle als auch eine dosierte Abgabe in eine Maschine oder ein Gerät zur Weiterverarbeitung erlauben. Kleine Mengen von Baumaterialien werden in der Regel in Papier- oder Plastiksäcken auf die Baustelle geliefert. Diese Säcke werden anschließend geöffnet, entleert und in eine Vorrichtung geschüttet, die es erlaubt, den Inhalt der Säcke mit Wasser oder weiteren Baumaterialien zu vermengen. Dieses Verfahren ist sehr arbeitsaufwendig, und die leeren Papier- oder Plastiksäcke, die entsorgt werden müssen, bilden ein nicht unbeachtliches Umweltproblem.For smaller quantities of pourable building materials, no containers are known today that both transport the materials to the construction site and dispense them in doses allow a machine or device for further processing. Small amounts of building materials are usually delivered to the construction site in paper or plastic bags. These sacks are then opened, emptied and poured into a device that allows the contents of the sacks to be mixed with water or other building materials. This process is very labor intensive and the empty paper or plastic sacks that have to be disposed of constitute a not inconsiderable environmental problem.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Transport- und Vorratsbehälter für Schüttgüter oder zähflüssige Güter zu schaffen, der sich insbesondere auch für kleinere Mengen von Material eignet sowie eine dosierte Abgabe des Behälterinhaltes in eine Vorrichtung zur Weiterverarbeitung erlaubt.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a transport and storage container for bulk goods or viscous goods, which is particularly suitable for smaller amounts of material and allows metered delivery of the container contents into a device for further processing.

Die Aufgabe wird mit einem gattungsgemäßen Behälter dadurch gelöst, daß im Inneren des Behälters der öffnung gegenüber ein Staukörper angeordnet ist und die Klappen in Anlage an den Staukörper bewegbar sind, um den Behälter zu schließen, und von ihm wegbewegbar sind, um den Behälter unter Bildung eines Trichters variabler öffnungsgröße zu öffnen.The object is achieved with a generic container in that a bluff body is arranged in the interior of the container opposite the opening and the flaps can be moved into contact with the bluff body to close the container and can be moved away from it to form the container opening a funnel of variable opening size.

Der Staukörper im Inneren des Behälters nimmt die größte Last des Behälterinhaltes auf und verringert somit die auf die Klappen wirkende Kraft. Vor allem beim öffnen des Behälters wird die dynamische Kraft, mit der das Schüttgut aus dem Behälter herausdrückt, von dem Staukörper gebremst. Dadurch wird ein leichteres öffnen und vor allem auch Schließen des Behälters ermöglicht. Außerdem wirkt der Staukörper als Brechkeil für das Material, so daß dieses stets rieselfähig bleibt und dosiert und geführt durch den durch die Klappen gebildeten Trichter aus dem Behälter beispielsweise in eine Vorrichtung zur Weiterverarbeitung abgebbar ist. In den seitlang bekannten Behältern ohne Staukörper verdichtet sich das Material im unteren, meist konisch zulaufenden Bereich derart, daß eine Materialentnahme nach öffnen der Klappen nicht möglich ist. Dieses Problem tritt beim erfindungsgemäßen Behälter nicht mehr auf. Die Füße, die zum Aufstellen des Behälters auf einer Baustelle oder dergleichen notwendig sind, können abnehmbar oder einklappbar angeordnet sein, um einen einfachen Transport des Behälters auch auf kleineren Fahrzeugen zu erlauben. Der Einsatz eines solchen Behälters ist daher auch für kleinere Materialmengen wirtschaftlich sinnvoll.The bluff body inside the container takes on the greatest load of the container contents and thus reduces the force acting on the flaps. Especially when the container is opened, the dynamic force with which the bulk material pushes out of the container is braked by the bluff body. This enables easier opening and, above all, closing of the container. In addition, the bluff body acts as a breaking wedge for the material, so that it always remains free-flowing and metered and guided through the funnel formed by the flaps from the container, for example, into a device for further processing. In the well-known containers without a bluff body, the material condenses in lower, mostly tapered area such that it is not possible to remove material after opening the flaps. This problem no longer occurs in the container according to the invention. The feet, which are necessary for setting up the container on a construction site or the like, can be arranged to be removable or retractable in order to allow easy transport of the container even on smaller vehicles. The use of such a container is therefore economically sensible even for smaller quantities of material.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Staukörper oberhalb der Drehachse der Klappen angeordnet ist, so daß die Klappen in einer nach oben gerichteten ersten Verschlußstellung den Behälter verschließen. In dieser Verschlußstellung wird der Behälter gefüllt und zur Baustelle transportiert. Wenn die Klappen nach unten aus dem Behälter heraus bewegt werden, öffnet sich der Behälter. Nach dem erstmaligen öffnen des Behälters genügt zum Verschließen des Behälters auch eine zweite Verschlußstellung, die sich dadurch ergibt, daß die Klappen sich in einer Stellung, in der die Klappen auf einer Linie ausgerichtet sind, berühren, und so den Behälter verschließen. Das herausrieselnde Material wird dabei in den Hohlraum des Staukörpers gedrückt.It is advantageous if the bluff body is arranged above the axis of rotation of the flaps so that the flaps close the container in an upward first closed position. In this closed position, the container is filled and transported to the construction site. When the flaps are moved down out of the container, the container opens. After opening the container for the first time, a second closed position is also sufficient to close the container, which results from the fact that the flaps touch in a position in which the flaps are aligned on a line, and thus close the container. The material trickling out is pressed into the cavity of the bluff body.

Die erste Stellung verringert die vom Schüttgut insbesondere beim Transport auf die Klappen ausgeübten Kräfte, und die zweite Stellung erlaubt ein schnelles Öffnen und Schließen des Behälters auf der Baustelle.The first position reduces the forces exerted by the bulk material on the flaps, particularly during transport, and the second position allows the container to be opened and closed quickly at the construction site.

Darüber hinaus ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Behälter eine Grundfläche von etwa 80 x 120 cm hat. Dieses genormte Maß ermöglicht eine bestmögliche Ausnutzung der Ladefläche auf Lastkraftwagen und erleichtert somit den Transport. Auf der Baustelle und zum Be- und Entladen der Transportfahrzeuge werden die Behälter mit Gabelstaplern bewegt. Führungen am Behälter für die Zinken von Gabelstaplern erleichtern diese Transportvorgänge.In addition, it is advantageous if the container has a base area of approximately 80 x 120 cm. This standardized dimension enables the best possible use of the loading area on trucks and thus facilitates transportation. The containers are moved with forklifts at the construction site and for loading and unloading the transport vehicles. Guides on the container for the tines of forklifts make this easier Transport operations.

Der Behälter kann durch die vorzugsweise an den Ecken der Behälter angeordneten Füße im Gegensatz zu den seither bekannten Großbehältern ohne Hilfe eines Krans über einen Scherenhubtisch oder über eine Ladebordwand von einem LKW abgesetzt werden.In contrast to the large containers known since then, the container can be placed on a scissor lift table or on a tail lift from a truck by means of the feet which are preferably arranged at the corners of the container.

Der Behälter kann jedoch auch auf der Pritsche eines LKW aufgestellt werden. Der Behälterinhalt wird dabei von einem untergebauten Mischrohr weiterverarbeitet. Zur optimalen Anpassung des Behälters an unterschiedliche Größen der Ladeflächen von LKWs können die Füße vorzugsweise in ihrem gegenseitigen Abstand versetzbar angeordnet sein.However, the container can also be placed on the platform of a truck. The container contents are processed by a built-in mixing tube. For optimal adaptation of the container to different sizes of the loading areas of trucks, the feet can preferably be arranged so that they can be offset from one another.

Außerdem kann die Behälterunterseite eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Vorratsbehälters mit Mischrohr aufweisen, wobei im Mischrohr der Behälterinhalt beispielsweise mit Wasser vermengt wird, um dann fertig vermischt auszutreten.In addition, the underside of the container can have a device for fastening a storage container with a mixing tube, the contents of the container being mixed with water, for example, in the mixing tube in order to then emerge in a completely mixed state.

Eine Behälterseite kann eine weitere Vorrichtung aufweisen, an der ein Rüttler zu befestigen ist, der die Behälterwände in Schwingungen versetzen kann, uni ein Festkleben von Behälterinhalt an den Behälterwänden zu vermeiden.A container side can have a further device to which a vibrator is to be fastened, which can vibrate the container walls in order to prevent the container contents from sticking to the container walls.

Ein Transportkorb, beispielsweise auf der Oberseite des Behälters, kann beim Transport die Füße des Behälters und andere Vorrichtungen aufnehmen, die in Verbindung mit dem Behälter benötigt werden.A transport basket, for example on the top of the container, can accommodate the feet of the container and other devices that are required in connection with the container during transport.

Eine Vorrichtung 10 besteht aus einem im wesentlichen quaderförmigen Behälter 11, der von vier Füßen 12 getragen wird. In Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 ist ein an der Unterseite des Behälters angebrachtes Mischrohr 13 dargestellt. Der Behälter 11 weist an seiner Oberseite eine öffnung 14 auf, die von einem Deckel 15 abgedeckt ist. Die öffnung 14 ist so groß, daß eine Person in den Behälter hineinsteigen kann, um ihn zu reinigen oder auch zu reparieren. Der Behälterauslaß 16 ist in der Darstellung in Fig. 1 vollständig vom Mischrohr 13 verdeckt. Befestigungshaken 17 ermöglichen eine einfache Befestigung des Mischrohres 13 am Behälter 11 mit Klemmschnallen 18. An der Oberseite des Behälters 11 sind in jeder Ecke ein Winkelflansch 19 mit zwei Bohrungen 20 vorgesehen. Sie dienen zur sicheren Stapelung von Behältern und des Korbes, wobei der Behälter auch aufgehängt werden kann.A device 10 consists of a substantially cuboid-shaped container 11 which is supported by four feet 12. 1 and 2 show a mixing tube 13 attached to the underside of the container. The container 11 has an opening 14 on its upper side which is covered by a cover 15. The opening 14 is so large that a person can climb into the container in order to clean or repair it. The container outlet 16 is completely covered by the mixing tube 13 in the illustration in FIG. 1. Fastening hooks 17 enable simple attachment of the mixing tube 13 to the container 11 with clamping buckles 18. An angle flange 19 with two bores 20 is provided in each corner on the top of the container 11. They serve for the safe stacking of containers and the basket, whereby the container can also be hung up.

Eine Aussparung 21 in der vorderen Behälterwand ist zum Anbringen eines Rüttlers (nicht gezeigt) vorgesehen (vgl. Fig. 3).A recess 21 in the front container wall is provided for attaching a vibrator (not shown) (see FIG. 3).

Der Behälter 11 hat in seiner unteren Hälfte vier quadratische öffnungen 22, in die Füße 12 eingesteckt sind. Die Füße 12 haben einen quadratischen Querschnitt und bestehen im wesentlichen aus einem abgewinkelten Teil 23, dessen waagerechtes Ende in die öffnung 22 eingesteckt ist und in dessen senkrechtes Ende ein Fußunterteil 24 eingeführt ist. In Bohrungen 25 im Fußoberteil 23 kann ein Hebel 26 eingesteckt werden, der so durch das Fußoberteil hindurchsteckbar ist, daß das Fußunterteil 24 nur bis zur Berührung mit dem Hebel 26 in das Fußoberteil 23 hineinschiebbar ist. Eine Klammer 27 am Fußoberteil 23 und ein Vorsteher 28 am Hebel 26 verhindern, daß der Hebel 26 aus der Bohrung 25 herausfallen kann.The container 11 has four square openings 22 in its lower half, into which feet 12 are inserted. The feet 12 have a square cross section and consist essentially from an angled part 23, the horizontal end of which is inserted into the opening 22 and the lower end of which a foot part 24 is inserted. A lever 26 can be inserted into bores 25 in the upper foot part 23, which can be inserted through the upper foot part such that the lower foot part 24 can only be pushed into the upper foot part 23 until it comes into contact with the lever 26. A bracket 27 on the upper foot 23 and a protrusion 28 on the lever 26 prevent the lever 26 from falling out of the bore 25.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt den Behälter 11 von der Seite mit Mischrohr 13 und aufgestecktem Klappenschlüssel 29, der zum Öffnen des Behälters dient. Das abgewinkelte Oberteil 23 der Füße 12 hat einen so langen waagerechten Teil, daß der Raum unter dem Behälter 11 leicht zugänglich ist und ein Arbeiten unter dem Behälter 11 durch die Füße 12 nicht behindert wird. An seiner Unterseite weist der Behälter 11 Führungen 30 und 31 für die Zinken eines Hubfahrzeuges auf.Fig. 2 shows the container 11 from the side with the mixing tube 13 and attached flap key 29, which serves to open the container. The angled upper part 23 of the feet 12 has such a long horizontal part that the space under the container 11 is easily accessible and working under the container 11 is not hindered by the feet 12. On its underside, the container 11 has guides 30 and 31 for the tines of a lifting vehicle.

Fig. 3 zeigt den Klappenmechanismus des Behälters. Im unteren Bereich des Behälters 11 ist im Inneren des Behälters 11 ein Staukörper 32 vorgesehen. Dieser Staukörper 32 besteht aus zwei winklig aneinandergeschweißten Blechen 33, 34, die sich nach unten zur Behälteröffnung 16 hin öffnen. Die öffnung 16 ist seitlich von zwei Wellen 35, 36 begrenzt, die je eine Klappe 37, 38 tragen. Diese Klappen 37, 38 sind um die Achsen 39, 40 der Wellen 35, 36 nach oben schwenkbar, bis sie an die Platten 33, 34 des Staukörpers 32 anstoßen. In dieser Klappenlage ist der Behälter geschlossen, und die Last des Behälterinhaltes ruht zum größten Teil auf dem Staukörper 32 und den konisch zusammenlaufenden Seitenwänden 41, 42 des Behälters 11.Fig. 3 shows the flap mechanism of the container. A bluff body 32 is provided in the interior of the container 11 in the lower region of the container 11. This bluff body 32 consists of two sheets 33, 34 which are welded to one another at an angle and which open downwards to the container opening 16. The opening 16 is laterally delimited by two shafts 35, 36, each of which carries a flap 37, 38. These flaps 37, 38 can be pivoted upward about the axes 39, 40 of the shafts 35, 36 until they abut the plates 33, 34 of the bluff body 32. In this flap position, the container is closed, and the load of the container contents largely rests on the bluff body 32 and the conically converging side walls 41, 42 of the container 11.

Wenn die Klappen 37, 38 um die Achsen 39, 40 der Wellen 35, 36 nach unten aus dem Behälter 11 herausbewegt werden, öffnet sich der Behälter, und der Inhalt des Behälters kann aus ihm heraus in den Raum unter den Behälter 11 oder in einen unter dem Behälter 11 befestigten Vorratsbehälter mit Mischrohr strömen.When the flaps 37, 38 are moved downward about the axes 39, 40 of the shafts 35, 36 out of the container 11, the container opens and the contents of the container can be removed from it flow out into the space under the container 11 or into a storage container with a mixing tube attached under the container 11.

Mit den nach unten gerichteten Klappen 37, 38 kann als Öffnung 16 ein Trichter mit variabler öffnungsgröße gebildet werden. Dadurch ist es möglich, den Fluß des aus dem Behälterteil 11 austretenden Materials über die Klappenstellung einfach zu regeln.With the flaps 37, 38 pointing downwards, a funnel with a variable opening size can be formed as the opening 16. This makes it possible to easily regulate the flow of the material emerging from the container part 11 via the flap position.

Eine waagerechte Klappenstellung ermöglicht einen vollständigen Verschluß der öffnung 16. Da der Druck auf die Klappen 37, 38 bei waagerechter Klappenstellung größer ist als bei schräg nach oben abgewinkelter Klappenstellung, ist es vorzuziehen, zum Transport des Behälters die Klappen 37, 38 in ihre obere Verschlußlage (wie in der Figur dargestellt) zu drehen.A horizontal flap position enables the opening 16 to be completely closed. Since the pressure on the flaps 37, 38 is greater when the flap position is horizontal than when the flap position is angled upwards, it is preferable to transport the container 37, 38 into their upper closed position (as shown in the figure).

Rechtwinklig zur Behälterseite 41 ist eine Platte 43 angeschweißt, auf die ein Rüttler 44 (nur schematisch angedeutet) aufgeschraubt werden kann, uni die Behälterwände 41, 42 in Schwingungen zu versetzen. Derartige Schwingungen fördern einen gleichmäßigen Materialfluß im Behälter.At right angles to the container side 41, a plate 43 is welded onto which a vibrator 44 (only indicated schematically) can be screwed in order to set the container walls 41, 42 in vibration. Such vibrations promote an even flow of material in the container.

Fig. 4 zeigt den Mechanismus zur Bewegung der Wellen 35, 36. Der Klappenschlüssel 29 ist auf eine waagerechte Welle 45 aufsteckbar, damit per Hand eine Drehbewegung auf die Welle 45 ausgeübt werden kann. Die Welle 45 weist an ihrem anderen Ende eine Schnecke 46 auf, die in abgewinkeltem Eingriff mit einem Schneckenrad 47 steht, welches sich auf der Welle 35 befindet, deren Achse 39 rechtwinklig zur Bildebene verläuft.4 shows the mechanism for moving the shafts 35, 36. The flap key 29 can be plugged onto a horizontal shaft 45 so that a rotary movement can be exerted on the shaft 45 by hand. The shaft 45 has at its other end a worm 46, which is in an angular engagement with a worm wheel 47, which is located on the shaft 35, the axis 39 of which is perpendicular to the image plane.

Durch die Drehung des Klappenschlüssels 29 wird somit die Welle 45 gedreht, und über das Schneckengetriebe wird die zur Welle 45 rechtwinklig stehende Welle 35 bewegt. An der Welle 35 befinden sich die Klappen 37, 38, die somit über den Klappenschlüssel 29 verstellbar sind. Durch das Schneckengetriebe können die Klappen 37, 38 selbsthemmend in jede Stellung gebracht werden.The rotation of the flap key 29 thus rotates the shaft 45, and the shaft 35, which is at right angles to the shaft 45, is moved via the worm gear. On the shaft 35 there are the flaps 37, 38, which thus over the Flap keys 29 are adjustable. The flaps 37, 38 can be brought into any position by means of the worm gear.
