Definitions
- the invention relates to an interchangeable container for transporting goods, having on one surface suppressible and its front portion to be hooked into the holding device of a Switzerland ⁇ aschine a king pin, and with its "nterkante in height relative to the middle and the rear area is reset so far upwards relative to its Abstellflache is that the space freed up in this way accommodates the king tap which protrudes downward from the interchangeable container, and in which the interior of the interchangeable container is accessible from one side for loading and unloading at any point.
- efforts are being made to increase the volume usable for a load by increasing the fully usable inside width of the container as much as possible.
- the container has to withstand two forms of loading, namely either the absorption of the weight between the footrests at the two ends of the swap body placed on the footprint or between the so-called gripping tabs, on which lever arms of an Xran can attack during loading. If one would like to put such an exchangeable container (older) on a rail vehicle, then for this purpose there is a holder at the ends of the exchangeable container. With the above test load of approx. 50 tons, v rgesc necer is. , da pressure transducer in the middle between pressure at the ends of the two support points at the ends must not exceed 7.5 tons. A clear width of 3 with a maximum total height of 4 m and a height of 960 mm for the reception of the kingpin has therefore not been possible to date.
- the invention is accordingly based on the object of designing an interchangeable container of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the base assembly can be built much lower without the entire interchangeable container becoming less stable; in other words: despite the lower overall height of the floor assembly, especially in the area of the so-called "gooseneck", the swap body should still be the same
- Stability criteria are sufficient, but at the current usual dimensions (height of the kingpin above the ground 960 mm; maximum height of the entire vehicle 4 m) a clear width of 3 m is available for loading.
- the aspect of the task, which states that the stability criteria should be increased, also includes the fact that this swap body can be placed on a rail freight wagon.
- the invention thus solves the problem of the stability of the floor assembly in that for reinforcement on the one side, which does not always have to be fully accessible for loading and unloading, the wall is stiffened as if by a surface construction and is therefore designed as a “solid wall”, and that the other side is reinforced by an asymmetrical construction.
- the height of the base construction of the swap body can be pushed down so far - to below 70 mm - that, on the one hand, there is still space for the kingpin when it is placed on a semi-trailer between the lower surface of the gooseneck and the steep surface on the other hand, a clear height of the interchangeable container of 3 m can be realized to hold cargo (smaller containers, loaded pallets, etc.).
- the footprint of the container wagons of the railways which serve to accommodate an alternating container, as " Tub ", that is, as a low bed or pocket wagon.
- an advantageous development of the invention now assumes that the support is no longer carried out at both ends of the swap body, but on one side near the transition of the front area, i.e. the so-called "gooseneck" to the middle area.
- the "gooseneck” then stands “freely in front”.
- the advantage of this type of loading a freight car with such a swap body is related to the problem of clear width in traffic, as outlined above, in that the more stable construction of the gooseneck provided according to the invention now also makes it possible to support the swap body at the transition to the higher middle area without the free floating gooseneck vibrating too much or bending too much.

- Swap body mounting a swap body (swap body) 3, a kingpin 8, gripping edges 3.2 and rope eyelets 3.3 for crane handling, receiving storage (container corner fittings) 12, 13, 14 for a bogie lock or wagon mounting, a front corner pillar 3.6, a rear corner pillar 3.7 , three sliding rings 3.8, a steel front wall 3.9, a rear door 3.10, a roof 16 that can be raised to the left, a roof lifting mechanism 3.12, a right-hand wall 15 made of corrugated steel sheet, hinged side walls 3.14, side wall locks (T-bolts) 3.15, wooden plug-in slats 3.16 and a tarpaulin 5.
- the floor assembly 3.1 of the swap body 3 is attached to the tractor 1 at its front end in the direction of travel by means of the kingpin 8.
- the swap body (container) 3 sits on the detachable axle unit 2 in this travel position.
- FIG. 2 shows the interchangeable container 3 from the side, the side facing the viewer on FIGS. 1 and 2 being the side that is covered with a tarpaulin 5 that is partly shown in the drawing.
- This entire page is the one that is accessible from the side for loading and unloading.
- the floor assembly 3.1 has a front region 6, the so-called “gooseneck”, which is set back upwards with respect to the contact surface A (FIG. 2) of the swap body 3 and is accordingly designed to be correspondingly lower in its overall height, so that the result is that between the Underside of the front area 6 and the contact area A remaining free space 7 is high enough to accommodate the kingpin 8 with which the swap body 3 can be rotated in the transport position on the tractor 1 at a certain height, which for technical reasons is set at 960 mm, is recorded.
- the bottom group 3.1 passes at point 9 from the front area 6 (gooseneck) to the middle area 10, which then merges into the rear area 11.
- a first receiving bearing 12 (corner fitting) is located shortly behind the transition 9, approximately in the middle between the two end faces of the swap body 3, a second receiving bearing 13 and at the rear end of the swap body 3 in the direction of travel a pick-up 14 is provided.
- the swap body 3 can be mounted on corresponding receiving bearings of a transpcrt vehicle, e.g. B. on the platform 22 of a container wagon (see. Fig. 12, 13).
- a transpcrt vehicle e.g. B. on the platform 22 of a container wagon (see. Fig. 12, 13).
- This distance is only about 75%, the total length of the swap body 3, so that if supported on two storage, so z. B. between the receptacles 12 and 14, the total load is supported more uniformly and thus the deflection is reduced for a given load.
- FIG. 4 shows the full licr.te width of the interior can be fully used during loading and unloading.
- Figure 3 shows the (in Fig. 2) right side of the container with a conventional door construction.
- FIG. 5 shows the base group 3.1 of the swap body 3 again.
- Figure 6 shows a top view of the asymmetry of the reinforcement of the floor assembly 3.1 by a longitudinal member 19, which is so far offset from the center that the entire spatial structure of the swap body 3 has uniform stability, although reinforcement by the fixed wall only on one side 15 is given.
- Figure 7 is the longitudinal section and shows the contact surfaces 24, 25 for the bogie (central axle trailer).
- Figures 8 and 9 also show the asymmetries of the reinforcement of the floor assembly by unevenly dimensioned side parts, in particular on the right side the stiffening by the fixed wall 15, while on the left side the lateral limitation is much lower.
- FIG 11 shows, together with Figure 10, the roof 16 in an asymmetrical design, namely in such a way that the outer longitudinal. 17 is formed by a hollow support with a considerable cross-section, while the other side only has a sheet metal strip 20 as a fold, which is fastened in sections to the posts on swivel joints 21.
- Figures 12 and 13 show the longitudinal and cross-section of a platform 22 of a container wagon of the railway.
- the carriage has a low bed 23 for receiving the central region 10 and the rear region 11 of the swap body 3.
- the height or promotion profile specified by the international railway organizations can be observed.
