Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Palettencontainer für die Lagerung und/oder Transport von Teilen, Behältern oder dgl. entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a pallet container for the storage and / or transport of parts, containers or the like. According to the preamble of the claim 1.

Aus der DE-PS 34 42 701 ist ein Palettencontainer bekannt, bei dem ein Seitenwandgerüst auf einen üblichen hölzernen Palettenkörper aufgesetzt ist, der mit seitlichen Öffnungen für die Hubelemente von Beförderungsmitteln, beispielsweise Gabelstaplern, zum Anheben des Palettencontainers versehen ist. Das Seitenwandgerüst ist mit dem Palettenkörper über metallische Schellen verbunden, die mittels Schrauben oder Nägeln an dem hölzernen Palettenkörper befestigt sind.From DE-PS 34 42 701 is a pallet container known in which a side wall scaffolding to a usual wooden pallet body is placed with lateral openings for the lifting elements of means of transport, for example, forklifts, for lifting of the pallet container is provided. The Sidewall scaffold is over with the pallet body metallic clamps connected by means of screws or nails attached to the wooden pallet body are.

Aus DE-42 37 157 A1 ist ein Palettencontainer bekannt, dessen Palette an ihrem Rand mit einer umlaufenden Aufnahmerinne für den Rand eines gitterförmigen Seitenwandgerüstes versehen ist. Durch seitlich in die Palette einsteckbare, unverformbare Steckelemente wird das Seitenwandgerüst an der Palette festgelegt.DE-42 37 157 A1 is a pallet container known, the palette at its edge with a circumferential receiving channel for the edge of a lattice-shaped Sidewall scaffold is provided. By sideways insertable into the pallet, non-deformable The side wall scaffold is attached to the Palette set.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Palettencontainer mit höherer Stabilität zu schaffen.The invention has for its object a To create pallet containers with greater stability.

Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung mit dem im Kennzeichnungsteil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Mitteln.The object is achieved according to the invention with the Labeling part of claim 1 specified means.

Durch die umlaufende nutförmige Aufnahme des Palettenkörpers wird bewirkt, daß der untere Bereich des Seitenwandgerüstes vom Palettenkörper praktisch über den ganzen Umfang formschlüssig gehalten ist. Das Seitenwandgerüst erhält hierdurch eine erhöhte Stabilität. Da die untere rahmenförmige Umrandung gegen ein Verbiegen zumindest nach innen gesichert ist, ergibt sich bei der Verwendung mit einem in dem Palettencontainer eingesetzten Kunststoffbehälter eine erhöhte Sicherheit, da die Gefahr vermindert wird, daß der Behälter durch ein Verbiegen aufgeschlitzt wird. Die Ausbildung der Halterungen als Schlitze erlaubt es, daß die untere rahmenförmige Umrandung des Seitenwandgerüstes zur festen Verbindung mit dem Palettenkörper zumindest teilweise von den Befestigungsmitteln umfaßt wird. Hierbei können die Befestigungsmittel jeweils durch mit dem Plattencontainer verrastbare, beispielsweise durch Kunststoffspritzgießen oder aus Stahlblech hergestellte, Klammern gebildet werden, die mit dem Palettenkörper verrastet und/oder verschraubt sind. Die Ausgestaltung derartiger Klammern kann durch entsprechende Formgebung auf die Querschnittsform der unteren Umrandung abgestimmt sein, so daß die Klammern die untere Umrandung zumindest teilweise formschlüssig umgeben. Da einerseits die Klammern mit dem Palettenkörper verbindbar sind und andererseits die Halterungen sowohl von der Außenseite als auch von der Palettenunterseite her zugänglich sind, können die Rastverbindungen zwischen den Klammern und dem Palettenkörper auch gelöst werden. Sollte ein Bestandteil des Palettencontainers durch unsachgemäße Behandlung beschädigt sein, kann somit dieser Bestandteil ausgetauscht werden und das Ersatzteil und das ursprüngliche Teil mit den Klammern verbunden werden.Due to the circumferential groove-shaped reception of the Pallet body will cause the lower area of the side wall frame from the pallet body practical is held positively over the entire scope. As a result, the side wall scaffold is raised Stability. Because the lower frame-shaped border secured against bending at least inwards is when used with an in the Pallet container used plastic container a increased security, since the risk is reduced that the container is slit open by bending. The Designing the brackets as slots allows that the lower frame-shaped border of the side wall frame for a firm connection with the pallet body at least partially from the fasteners is included. Here, the fasteners in each case by lockable with the plate container, for example by plastic injection molding or from Made of sheet steel, brackets are formed locked and / or screwed to the pallet body are. The design of such brackets can by appropriate shaping to the cross-sectional shape be aligned with the lower border, so that the brackets at least the lower border partially surrounded by a positive fit. Because on the one hand the Brackets can be connected to the pallet body and on the other hand, the brackets both from the outside as well as accessible from the bottom of the pallet are, the locking connections between the Brackets and the pallet body can also be loosened. Should be part of the pallet container improper handling can be damaged thus this component can be replaced and that Spare part and the original part with the brackets get connected.

Den gleichen Vorteil bieten erfindungsgemäß verspannbare Schellen, die sich durch das Verspannen der Umfangsform der unteren Umrandung anpassen und diese somit zumindest teilweise formschlüssig umgebenAccording to the invention, the same advantage can be braced Clamps that are created by tightening the Adjust the circumferential shape of the lower border and surround them at least partially in a form-fitting manner

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die nutförmige Aufnahme am Plattenaußenrand durch Randstege begrenzt ist, die sich zumindest über Teillängen der Aufnahme erstrecken. Durch diese Randstege ist die untere Umrandung zusätzlich in dem Palettenkörper eingefaßt und gegen eine Beschädigung von außen, beispielsweise durch Hubelemente von Beförderungsmitteln, geschützt.In an embodiment of the invention it is provided that the groove-shaped receptacle on the plate outer edge is delimited by edge webs which extend at least over partial lengths of the receptacle. By means of these edge webs, the lower border is additionally enclosed in the pallet body and protected against damage from outside, for example by lifting elements of means of transport.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die nutförmige Aufnahme gegenüber der Stützfläche durch einen zumindest teilweise umlaufenden Haltesteg begrenzt ist, der die Stützfläche überragt. Hierdurch wird der empfindliche untere Bereich des Seitenwandgerüstes auch gegenüber der Ladung geschützt.In a further embodiment of the invention, that the groove-shaped receptacle compared to the Support surface by an at least partially circumferential Holding bridge is limited, which projects above the support surface. As a result, the sensitive lower area of the side wall frame also towards the cargo protected.

Insbesondere in Verbindung mit eingesetzten Kunststoffbehältern ist es vorteilhaft, daß der Haltesteg über eine abgerundete Flankenfläche in die Stützfläche übergeht. In vorteilhafter Weise weist diese abgerundete Flankenfläche in etwa die gleiche Krümmung auf wie der Übergang zwischen dem Behälterboden und den Behälterseitenwänden. Der Behälter ist somit in einer durch die abgerundeten Flankenflächen begrenzten Wanne zu allen Seiten hin auf dem Palettenkörper unverrutschbar gehalten. Durch die abgerundete Flankenfläche wird darüber hinaus der Übergang zwischen dem Bodenbereich und den Seitenwänden des Behälters gestutzt.Especially in connection with used Plastic containers, it is advantageous that the retaining web over a rounded flank surface in the support surface transforms. Advantageously, this has rounded Flank surface approximately the same curvature like the transition between the tank bottom and the container side walls. The container is thus in one limited by the rounded flank surfaces Pan on all sides on the pallet body kept immovable. Due to the rounded flank surface the transition between the bottom area and the side walls of the container trimmed.

Erfindungsgemäß wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, daß der Haltesteg an seiner freien Kante mit einem biegsamen Ansatz versehen ist. Durch den Ansatz wird ein scharfkantiges Anliegen von auf der Stützfläche gelagerten Teilen, insbesondere eines Behälters, vermieden, das zu einer Beschädigung dieser Ladung führen könnte. Der biegsame Ansatz kann stoffschlüssig als Bestandteil des Haltessteges ausgebildet sein.According to the invention, it is also proposed that that the retaining web with a free edge flexible approach is provided. Through the approach a sharp edge on the support surface stored parts, especially a container, avoided, that will damage this cargo could. The flexible approach can be cohesive be formed as part of the retaining web.

Ein derartiger Ansatz kann auch bei einer Herstellung des Palettenkörpers im Kunststoffspritzguß-Verfahren als vorgefertigtes Teil in die Spritzgußform eingelegt und im nachfolgenden Spritzguß-Verfahren in den Palettenkörper eingebettet werden. Alternativ kann der biegsame Ansatz nachträglich, beispielsweise an dem Haltesteg, angeklebt werden.Such an approach can also be used in manufacturing of the pallet body in the plastic injection molding process as a prefabricated part in the injection mold inserted and in the subsequent injection molding process the pallet body are embedded. Alternatively, you can the flexible approach afterwards, for example the landing stage.

Der besonders gefährdete Eckbereich des Palettencontainers wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch zusätzlich geschützt, daß die Randstege im Bereich der Palettenecken erhöht ausgebildet sind und eine dickere Wandstärke aufweisen. The particularly endangered corner area of the pallet container according to the invention protected that the edge webs in the area of Pallet corners are raised and a thicker Have wall thickness.

Für die Verwendung des Palettencontainers in Verbindung mit einem Behälter mit Auslaßarmatur ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß die Stützfläche mit einer rinnenförmigen Vertiefung versehen ist, die mit Gefälle bis an einen Plattenaußenrand geführt ist. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird sichergestellt, daBβdie Auslaßarmatur am tiefsten Punkt der Stützfläche liegt, so daß eine vollständige Restentleerung des Behälters gewährleistet ist.For the use of the pallet container in combination with a container with outlet fitting is according to the invention provided that the support surface with a trough-shaped depression is provided with a slope up to an outer edge of the plate. Through this Design ensures that the outlet fitting is at the lowest point of the support surface, so that a complete emptying of the container is guaranteed.

In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Palettenkörper an seiner Unterseite im Randbereich mit einer umlaufenden Stapelausnehmung zur Aufnahme der oberen Umrandung des Seitenwandgerüstes eines darunter stehenden Palettencontainers versehen ist. Durch diese Stapelausnehmung wird beim Aufeinanderstellen mehrerer derartiger Palettencontainer die obere Umrandung des unteren Palettencontainers ebenfalls formschlüssig umfaßt und somit die Stabilität des Stapels gewährleistet.In one embodiment of the invention, that the pallet body on its underside in Edge area with a circumferential stack recess to accommodate the upper border of the side wall frame one below Pallet container is provided. Through this stack recess becomes when stacking several such pallet container the upper border of the lower pallet container also form-fitting includes and thus ensures the stability of the stack.

Erfindungsgemäß wird weiter vorgeschlagen, daß der Palettenkörper aus einem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise durch Spritzgießen, geformt ist. Durch Kunststoffspritzguß lassen sich Palettenkörper mit einem relativ geringen Eigengewicht bei hoher Festigkeit herstellen. Das Fertigungsverfahren erlaubt eine wirtschaftliche Fertigung von mit Versteifungsrippen versehenen Palettenkörpern, wobei auch die erfindungsgemäße umlaufende nutförmige Aufnahme, die Randstege sowie alle weiteren erfindungsgemäßen Merkmale in einem Fertigungsschritt durch Spritzgießen an dem Palettenkörper ausgebildet werden können. Eine fertigungstechnische Vereinfachung ist möglich, wenn der Palettenkörper wenigstens zweiteilig aus einem Oberteil und wenigstens einem Unterteil zusammengesetzt ist, wobei zumindest ein Teil aus Kunststoff geformt ist. Diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung erlaubt darüber hinaus, die Ausbildung von Versteifungsrippen in jeweils an dem Oberteil und dem Unterteil ausgebildeten Halbschalen, so daß nach Zusammensetzen der beiden Teile die Rippen in einem nach außen geschlossenen Hohlkörper ausgebildet sind. Dies verhindert u. a. die Ansammlung von Schmutz zwischen den Rippen. Außerdem sind die in einem geschlossenen Hohlkörper ausgebildeten Rippen vor Beschädigung geschützt. Ferner erlaubt die zweiteilige Ausgestaltung des Palettenkörpers den Austausch eines beschädigten Teils, so daß nicht der gesamte Palettenkörper unbrauchbar wird. Darüber hinaus ergibt sich bei einem zweiteiligen Aufbau des Palettenkörpers ein vereinfachter Aufbau des Formwerkzeuges für das Spritzgießen.According to the invention it is further proposed that the pallet body made of a plastic, preferably by injection molding. Through plastic injection molding can pallet body with a relatively small Create own weight with high strength. The Manufacturing processes allow economical manufacturing of pallet bodies provided with stiffening ribs, where also the invention all-round groove-shaped receptacle, the edge webs as well as all other features according to the invention in a manufacturing step by injection molding on the Pallet bodies can be formed. A manufacturing technology Simplification is possible if the Pallet body at least in two parts from an upper part and put together at least one lower part is, wherein at least a part is molded from plastic. This embodiment of the invention also allows the formation of stiffening ribs in each the upper part and the lower part formed half shells, so that after putting the two together Split the ribs in a closed outward Hollow bodies are formed. This prevents u. a. the Accumulation of dirt between the ribs. In addition, they are in a closed hollow body trained ribs protected from damage. Furthermore, the two-part design of the pallet body allows the replacement of a damaged part, so that the entire pallet body is unusable becomes. In addition, there is a two-part Structure of the pallet body a simplified structure the mold for injection molding.

Schließlich wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß Oberteil und Unterteil durch Rastelemente miteinander verbunden sind. Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung erlaubt ein einfaches Zusammenfügen der beiden, den Palettenkörper bildenden Teile, und führt somit zu einer Vereinfachung bei der Herstellung des Palettenkörpers.Finally, the invention proposes that upper part and lower part by locking elements together are connected. This embodiment of the invention allows easy assembly of the two parts forming the pallet body, and leads thus to simplify the manufacture of the Pallet body.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Oberteil des Palettenkörpers plattenförmig ausgebildet ist und auf seiner Unterseite mit gitterartig angeordneten Versteifungsstegen versehen ist und das Unterteil durch mindestens zwei gesonderte, längliche Kufenteile gebildet wird, wobei jedes Kufenteil jeweils an den Enden und in der Mitte ein schalenförmiges Stützteil aufweist, das auf seiner dem Oberteil zugekehrten offenen Seite mit gitterartig angeordneten Versteifungsstegen und mit Rastelementen und/oder Zentrierelementen versehen ist, die mit entsprechenden Gegenelementen sowie entsprechenden schalenförmigen Stützteilen im Oberteil formschlüssig ineinanderfügbar sind. Diese Ausgestaltung erlaubt es in einfacher Weise einen formstabilen Palettenkörper zu schaffen, bei dem die notwendige Formsteifigkeit über die Ausgestaltung der gitterförmigen Versteifung im wesentlichen im Oberteil vorgesehen werden kann. Über die Dichte und Ausrichtung der gitterförmigen Versteifungsstege kann entsprechend den gewünschten Anforderungen in Verbindung mit dem gewählten Kunststoffmaterial auf die Formsteifigkeit Einfluß genommen werden. Die länglichen Kufenteile, die zumindest an den Enden und in der Mitte zur Aufnahme der Gegenelemente des Oberteils schalenförmig ausgebildet sind, werden zweckmäßigerweise ebenfalls aus einem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise durch Spritzgießen hergestellt, sie können jedoch auch aus einem anderen verformbaren Material, beispielsweise aus Stahlblech gefertig sein.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the Invention is provided that the upper part of the pallet body is plate-shaped and on it Bottom with stiffening bars arranged in a grid is provided and the lower part by at least two separate, elongated runner parts are formed, each runner part at the ends and in the Center has a bowl-shaped support part that on its open side facing the top with a grid-like arranged stiffening webs and with locking elements and / or centering elements is provided, those with corresponding counter elements as well as corresponding ones bowl-shaped support parts in the upper part are interlocking. This configuration allows a dimensionally stable in a simple manner To create pallet bodies where the necessary Rigidity over the design of the lattice-shaped Reinforcement is mainly provided in the upper part can be. About the density and orientation of the lattice-like stiffening webs can be made accordingly the desired requirements in connection with the chosen plastic material on the stiffness Be influenced. The elongated runner parts the at least at the ends and in the middle to The counter elements of the upper part are bowl-shaped are appropriately trained also made of a plastic, preferably through Injection molded, but they can also be made from another deformable material, for example be made of sheet steel.

Auf der Unterseite des Palettenkörpers 1 ist eine Stapelausnehmung 30 ausgebildet, die exakt unterhalb der Aufnahme 14 verläuft. Diese Stapelausnehmung 30 dient zur Aufnahme der oberen Umrandung des Seitenwandgerüstes eines darunter stehenden Palettencontainers beim Stapeln anderer Palettencontainer.On the underside of the pallet body 1 is one Stack recess 30 formed exactly below the recording 14 runs. This stack recess 30 serves to accommodate the upper border of the side wall frame of a pallet container below when stacking other pallet containers.

In Fig. 6 ist eine bevorzugte Ausbildung der Rippen 21 an dem Palettenkörper 1 dargestellt. Die Rippen 21 erstrecken sich in vertikaler Richtung. So wird der Bereich der abgerundeten Flankenfläche 20 durch eine Mehrzahl von Rippen 21 abgestützt. Korrespondierend zu den Rippen 21 des Oberteils 28 sind auch an dem Unterteil 27 Rippen 21 ausgebildet, so daß die durch Ladung auf die Stützfläche 10 aufgebrachte Auflagekraft über die Rippen abgeleitet wird. Im Bereich der Aufnahmeöffnungen 12 ist das Oberteil 28 durch die nutförmigen Ausnehmungen 19 in der Stützfläche 10 verstärkt. In gleicher Weise sind an der Unterseite des Unterteils 27 nutförmige Ausnehmungen 19 ausgebildet. Natürlich weist die Oberseite im Bereich der Aufnahmeöffnungen 12 eine gegenüber der Unterseite erhöhte Versteifung auf, da hier die gesamten Haltekräfte beim Heben des Palettencontainers mit Hubelementen eines Beförderungsmittels übertragen werden.6 is a preferred embodiment of the ribs 21 shown on the pallet body 1. The ribs 21 extend in the vertical direction. So it will Area of the rounded flank surface 20 by a A plurality of ribs 21 are supported. corresponding to the ribs 21 of the upper part 28 are also on the Lower part 27 ribs 21 formed so that the through Charge applied to the support surface 10 is derived via the ribs. In the field of Receiving openings 12 is the upper part 28 through the groove-shaped recesses 19 in the support surface 10 strengthened.

Das Kufenteil weist jeweils an den Enden ein schalenförmiges Stützteil 34 sowie in seiner Mitte ein schalenförmiges Stützteil 35 auf. Diese Stützteile sind auf ihrer dem Oberteil 28 zugekehrten Seiten offen. Die Stützteile 34 und 35 sind mit zungenartigen Rastelementen 36 sowie mindestens einem Zentrierelement 37 versehen, so daß die Kufenteile in die entsprechend ausgebildeten Bereiche des Oberteils 28 eingesteckt werden können, so daß ein fester Verbund zwischen Oberteil und Kufenteil gegeben ist. In gleicher Weise wird auch die Mittelkufe befestigt.7 and 8 is a side view (Fig. 7) and in a top view (Fig. 8) with such a skid part part of its length. The skid part points a shell-shaped support part 34 at each end and in the middle a bowl-shaped support part 35 on. These support parts are on their upper part 28 facing sides open. The support members 34 and 35 are with tongue-like locking elements 36 and at least provided a centering element 37 so that the runners in the correspondingly trained areas of Upper part 28 can be inserted, so that a there is a firm bond between the upper part and the skid part is. The middle runner is attached in the same way.

Wie Fig. 8 zeigt, sind die Querstege 13, die die Aufnahmeöffnungen 12 begrenzen, auf ihrer Unterseite mit gitterförmig angeordneten Versteifungsstegen versehen. Ebenso sind die schalenförmigen Stützteile über gitterförmige Querstege ausgesteift, so daß auch hier die erforderliche Formsteifigkeit gegeben ist.As shown in Fig. 8, the crossbars 13 are the receiving openings Limit 12 on their bottom with stiffening bars arranged in a grid. Likewise, the bowl-shaped support parts are over lattice-shaped crossbars stiffened, so that here too the required stiffness is given.

Der erfindungsgemäße Palettencontainer kann als Schwerlastpalette auch in Kunststoffausführung für den Palettenkörper ausgebildet werden. Hiermit ist der Einsatz des Palettenkörpers als Unterbau zur Aufnahme eines Gefahrgutbehälters möglich, der den besonderen Anforderungen genügt. Mit der erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagenen Konzeption läßt sich auch die Anforderung erfüllen, daß ein derartiger Palettencontainer eine Fallhöhe von 1,90 m überstehen muß.The pallet container according to the invention can be used as Heavy duty pallet also in plastic for the Pallet bodies are formed. This is the stake of the pallet body as a substructure for receiving possible of a dangerous goods container that special Requirements are sufficient. With the proposed according to the invention The requirement can also be conceived meet that such a pallet container Fall height of 1.90 m must survive.
