Description

The invention relates to a container for a container disposal arrangement with a mobile crane arranged on a truck with a generally hydraulically actuated gripper for the containers, the container being rectangular in plan view, open at the top, optionally closable with a lid and having a bottom at the bottom and the side walls of the container tapering downwards inwards and a collar with walls running parallel to one another is provided at the upper edge of the container.

From DE-PS 40 08 619 a container is known which is rectangular in plan view and the side walls of which taper conically downwards. The well-known container has a bottom and is open at the top. A collar is provided on the upper edge of the container, the walls of which run parallel to one another. Claw engagement pockets are provided in two opposite sides of the collar, into which claws of a pair of tongs hanging on a mobile crane engage for lifting, tipping and lowering the container.

In the DE-Z. "Glückauf" 1986, No. 6, p. 415, a mobile crane is shown which has an excavator arm, at the outer end of which a hydraulically operated gripper is arranged, with which the handling of mines used in mining is possible. With this device, the trucks can be lifted, tilted and emptied from the floor and then placed back on the floor, and only at a certain point or in the slewing range of the crane.

From DE-OS 17 81 464 a universal container stacking and loading device for stacking and transporting large containers with a weight of 20 to 40 t is known. This device is intended for the handling of sea and large containers. It is used for bulk transport and material handling in a limited local area within a certain period of use. Transporting these large containers on public roads is not intended and is also not permitted.

From DE-OS 30 23 894 a tipping device for cranes is known which has two rotating arms and a tipping device for receiving and tipping containers, in particular for tipping trucks and trolleys used in mining. This tipping device has a crossbeam which can be connected to the lifting gear of the crane and a cantilevered stand which is arranged displaceably on the crossbeam and on the free ends of which the rotating arms are mounted. On the rotating arms, which are formed in a bow shape at their receiving ends, receiving plates are arranged, which are made of elastically deformable plastic. These mounting plates are screwed to rotating arms so that they are easily interchangeable and can be adapted to different sizes and shapes of the containers to be accommodated by the tilting device.

From US-PS 36 70 912 a gripper and associated container are known, the gripper is suspended from a chain hoist or a storage crane. At the two outer ends of two telescopic arms two gripping jaws are arranged, at the lower ends of which an approximately triangular claw is rotatably arranged. A toggle lever is non-rotatable with one end connected to the claw and with its other end rotatably connected to the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder. By extending or retracting the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder, the claw is rotated by a certain amount.

The associated container has two opposite, mutually parallel container walls, to each of which two angle profiles are attached, which converge towards the upper edge of the container and which represent two legs of an isosceles triangle. At approximately the middle height of the container, a horizontally arranged bottom profile is provided between the two angle profiles. The bottom profile and the two upper areas of the angle profiles enclose a triangular engagement space that is open to the outside and has the shape of a claw.

In order to be able to move the containers, the claws must always be locked between the angle profiles and the bottom profile. A simple grip under a support frame or under a collar is not possible, nor can it engage in a stop eye of a stop part.

Since the opposite container walls run parallel to each other, these containers can only be stacked, but not stacked one inside the other.

The invention has for its object to provide a container of the type mentioned, which can be transported independently of the system, which guides the gripping device, to which additional units such as shredders or the like can be connected and which centers itself when stacked.

This object is achieved in that a plurality of functional hollow bodies are provided in the region of the collar, that the upper and lower edges of the collar are each inclined and that at least one stop part for lifting devices is provided in the region of the collar.

In this way you get to a container of the type mentioned in the introduction, the collar of which is strongly stiffened. It is therefore possible to arrange additional units such as shredders or the like on this strongly stiffened collar. The containers also center themselves when stacked.

In a further embodiment of the invention, a tube or the like can be provided in the region of the corners of the container. Such a tube serves to stiffen the collar of the container.

In this case, a vertically arranged tube can expediently be provided in the corners between the upper and lower edges of the collar.

Furthermore, it is recommended that the upper edge and the lower edge are inclined downwards and outwards.

The container can also be designed so that a stop part is provided on the upper edge of the collar on two opposite walls.

In the area of the stop part, the walls of the collar can be tapered, but more conically than the walls of the container downwards and inwards.

The invention further relates to a tube with a fastening device provided in the tube, for example for use in the corners of the collar of the container according to one or more of the preceding claims.

This tube is designed according to the invention so that at least one upper clamping tube and at least one lower clamping tube are provided in the tube, which lie on common inclined surfaces against each other and are displaceable against each other, and that at the upper end of the tube a counter pressure plate is provided with a bore through which a tensioning device is guided.

By tightening the tensioning device, adjacent clamping tubes move obliquely against each other on their common surface along this surface and thereby come to a firm contact against the inner wall of the outer tube. As a result, the clamping tubes are firmly clamped within the outer tube, so that there is a fixed connection in the axial direction.

For simple or normal applications, it is sufficient if an upper clamping tube and a lower clamping tube are provided in the tube, which lie against each other on a common surface and are mutually displaceable on this surface, that the lower clamping tube has a threaded insert with an internal thread at its lower end has and that at the upper end of the tube a counter pressure plate is provided with a bore through which a screw bolt is guided, which is screwed into the threaded insert and has a screw head at the outer end.

The tube can expediently be designed such that a joint is provided on two adjacent counter-pressure disks provided on the upper edge of the container, in which an attachment part is pivotably attached.

Furthermore, it is advisable to design the tube in such a way that arrangements are provided on at least two adjacent counter-pressure disks with which further devices, for example a shredder, are to be arranged firmly on the container.

In addition, an outer container surrounding the container can be provided, which is expediently equipped with a leakage system.

The container shown in the drawing is rectangular in plan view and tapers downwards in that it has two opposite walls 2, 3 and 4, 5 that run obliquely downwards. At the lower end, the container 1 has a bottom 6, while the container is open at the upper end. At the upper edge of the container 1, a collar 7 is provided which has walls 8, 9 and 10, 11 running parallel to one another. The collar 7 stands with his lower edge 12 on all sides slightly above the walls of the container.

At the upper edge 13 of the collar 7, vertical tubes 14, 15, 16, 17 are provided in the corners of the collar 7. Considerable stiffening of the collar 7 is possible through these tubes 14, 15, 16, 17. In addition, a manufacturing aid is justified in that no miters have to be manufactured. In addition, the abutting edges do not need to be broken because the tubes 14, 15, 16, 17 already round off or break the abutting edges.

It is also possible to set up additional devices, such as shredders or the like, on the pipes 14, 15, 16, 17.

The tubes 14, 15, 16, 17 do not need to be arranged exactly in the corners of the collar 7, as shown, rather it is sufficient to stiffen the collar if the tubes are arranged in the region of the corners, possibly even somewhere in the region of the Outside.

The collar 7 has a bevel 18 at its upper end, which is inclined at an angle of 15 °, for example. Likewise, a surface 19 which is inclined at the same angle of 15 ° is provided at the lower end of the collar 7. This has the advantage that the individual containers center themselves when stacked. Furthermore, lids placed on the container are centered. In addition, water only drains to the outside, at least not to the inside of the container. Finally, this edge enables sealing during vacuum operation.

A space 20 is formed between the wall 2 of the container and the wall 8 of the collar. In the two rooms belonging to the walls 8 and 9, a stop part 21 is provided, which consists of a stop pin 22 and a plate 23 with a bore 24. At the level of the bore 24 is in the outer wall 25, which is slightly obliquely downwards relative to the wall 8 in the region of the stop part 21 extends, an engagement opening 26 is provided through which, for example, hoists of a crane reach for lifting the container.

In FIG. 7, the position of the stop part 21 in the state pulled out of the region 20 is shown in dash-dotted lines.

As shown in FIG. 9, a lower pipe section 27 is provided in a pipe, for example in the pipe 14, which has a threaded attachment 28 with an internal thread 29 at its lower end and the upper end of which represents an oblique cut 30.

Above the lower tube 27, an upper tube 31 is provided, the lower end of which represents an oblique cut 32, the cut surfaces 30 and 32 being inclined at the same angle. At the upper end of the tube 14 or the upper tube 31, a counter pressure disk 33 is provided, which has a bore 34 through which a screw bolt 35 extends, at the upper end of which a screw head 36 is provided. At the lower end of the bolt 35 external thread 37 is provided which fits in the internal thread 29.

In order to be able to attach a pivot axis for the arrangement of a cover on a container to two adjacent tubes 14, the screw 35 is tightened so that the lower screw piece 37, as shown in the example shown, bears to the left against the inner wall of the tube 14 and the upper pipe section 31 bears against the right inner wall of the pipe 14 accordingly. With a correspondingly tightened screw, the clamping action between the lower pipe section 27 and the inner surface of the pipe 14 on the one hand and between the upper pipe section 31 and the inner surface of the pipe 14 on the other hand is so strong that a displacement of the lower pipe section 27 and the upper pipe section 31 within the Tube 14 does not occur.
