Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the integral storage and unloading of grease.
  • It relates more particularly to a transportable container, making it possible to store large quantities of grease and to independently provide for the complete unloading of the grease from said container.
  • the present invention aims to propose a device making it possible both to store large quantities in the same container. of grease, to protect this grease against external aggressions and to ensure, in a simple manner, a complete unloading.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a device for the storage and the complete unloading of grease, this device comprising a cylindrical enclosure, the upper part of which is preferably retractable, a lower part in conical shape, integral with said enclosure and provided in its part the lowest of a controlled discharge orifice, and a piston-shaped plate, of conical shape, arranged perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical enclosure, of cross section equal to the internal section of the enclosure and capable of sliding therein, this device being characterized in that the piston plate has a conical shape complementary to that of the lower end of the cylindrical enclosure, in that the weight of said plate is such that it can slide by simple gravity by pushing back to evacuate the fat located in the lower part of the cylindrical enclosure, and in that it comprises at least one guide of the forman tray t piston, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical enclosure.
  • the device according to the invention Since the mass of the plate is sufficient to deposit the grease, the device according to the invention has an important advantage compared to the prior art, since it operates completely autonomously, without the use of external equipment. This represents a significant gain for the user and avoids a source of pollution in the event of a change in the type of grease.
  • the weight of the piston-forming plate is calculated in such a way that it slides freely by simple gravity in the cylindrical enclosure, for all the usual consistencies of lubricating greases.
  • the Applicant has established that, for these usual consistencies of lubricating greases, the weight of the plate can vary, for a diameter of said plate less than 1.5 meters, between 100 and 400 kilograms and, preferably, between 150 and 300 kilograms.
  • the unloading performed using the device according to the invention is particularly effective.
  • the piston-forming plate reaches the end of its travel, there remains no interstitial space between the latter and the lower end of the enclosure, since their conical shapes are complementary. In this way, all the fat originally contained in the enclosure is expelled through the discharge orifice.
  • the upper part of the cylindrical enclosure of the device according to the invention is equipped with a compressed air intake outlet, usable in the case of particularly consistent grease stripping, in order to exert a additional pressure on the top of the plate.
  • the guide of the piston-forming plate ensures perfect retention of the latter during its movements. It is optionally possible to provide two guides parallel to the axis of the cylindrical enclosure and diametrically opposite with respect thereto.
  • the plate is equipped at its outer periphery with one or, preferably, several seals scraping the interior walls of the cylindrical enclosure.
  • the filling of the cylindrical enclosure is carried out using a pump, which propels the grease inside the device through the same orifice, disposed at the bottom of the cylindrical enclosure, which serves to the evacuation of said fat.
  • a purge is installed at the level of said discharge orifice.
  • the device according to the invention allows the storage of large quantities of grease, which can be greater than 1 ton and, preferably, 1.2 tons.
  • the device according to the invention consists of a cylindrical enclosure 10, capped by a tight and retractable cover 20, and a lower end 30 in the form of a cone, the point of which is directed towards bottom and corner at the top ⁇ .
  • an opening with controlled opening and closing, 40 which allows the filling and evacuation of the fat.
  • a purge 50 intended to expel the residual air present at the start of the filling phase.
  • a compressed air inlet 60 is also provided at the upper end of the cylindrical enclosure.
  • the device is mounted on a standard type pallet and is protected by an integral metallic exterior structure, both not shown.
  • An example of materials and dimensions is given below for information: the device is, for example, made of common steel and has a height of 2.35 meters, the diameter of the cylindrical enclosure being 1.15 meters .
  • a piston plate 70 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said cylindrical enclosure and of transverse dimension equal to the section of the latter.
  • the upper side of the plate 80 is substantially flat, while its lower face 90 is formed by a cone of angle at the top a.
  • the plate 70 is equipped at its periphery with an O-ring 100.
  • This plate mounted sliding on a rod 120, arranged along the axis of the cylindrical enclosure 10, has a weight such that it can descend by simple gravity inside the enclosure, expelling the grease 110 present under this tray by the discharge orifice 40.
  • the weight of the tray is between 100 and 400 kilograms and, preferably, between 150 and 300 kilograms.
  • the grease to be evacuated itself provides lubrication between the plate forming the piston 70 and the internal face of the enclosure 10.
  • the plate 70 and the lower end 30 of the cylindrical enclosure 10 are formed by cones directed downwards and of the same angle at the top. Therefore, there remains no space between this lower end 30 and the plate 70, when the latter is at the end of its travel, so that all of the grease will be expelled from the cylindrical enclosure.
