Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bottom valve for containers Transport of liquid dangerous goods by means of the valve body is connected to the container through which a through hole leading through a valve disk is lockable in the closed position sealingly abuts the edge of the through opening, wherein A seal is arranged between the valve plate and the edge is and wherein the valve plate by means of an actuating unit its position can be changed, which has a lever arm through a lateral Recess is guided in the through hole.
  • Containers for the transport of liquid dangerous goods which are preferred in road traffic as a tanker, in rail traffic as tank wagons and also in container traffic are used have a bottom valve that usually screwed onto an outlet flange, which is arranged in the sole region of the container.
  • the spring on the outside of the tank provides one Compromise in terms of passive safety in favor the cleanability of the valve construction.
  • the invention provides for a bottom valve to be closed create that via an encapsulated spiral spring Reset and to hold the valve plate in the closed position has in the interior of the valve plate is arranged.
  • the bottom of the valve plate has a flat peripheral edge that with one arranged in a groove in the valve plate Flat seal is provided. This edge or the flat gasket lies flat on the valve body in the closed position on so that through the wide support of the valve plate an optimal compared to the prior art Seal is reached.
  • the valve disk advantageously consists of a Lower part and a conical upper part, which preferably are screwed together.
  • a guide rod for the valve plate is arranged in the middle, the guide rod over a bracket for fixing on the valve body. Still protrudes another lever arm of an actuator in the Through hole that on the lower part of the valve body is articulated. This ensures that most of the passage opening is free of facilities is possible, so that unhindered emptying is possible is.
  • the through opening is through the conical valve disc closed, the tip of the cone in protrudes into the bulk container.
  • the one in the valve plate arranged, tapered spiral spring is supported on the underside of the valve plate and at the through a through hole in the bottom of the valve plate is guided inwards or a stop defined at the end of the guide rod from, so that the valve disc on the valve body pressed and closed with it.
  • the Through hole in the bottom of the valve plate is designed as a sliding bush in which the guide rod is stored for vertical guidance.
  • actuating unit manually, pneumatically or in any other suitable way can be operated.
  • the sliding bush is preferably with a coating provided so that a lubrication is unnecessary is.
  • the liquid dangerous goods cannot contain any parts the function, in particular spring devices for closing affect the bottom valve by dirt, since the liquid good opposes the Gravity would have to move, so that always safe Closing the bottom valve is guaranteed.
  • the invention Bottom valve advantageously offers increased passive due to the internal spiral spring Security while thanks to the conical shape cleaning of the bottom valve is possible without shadow formation.
  • the replacement the flat gasket is easy by unscrewing the Upper part of the valve plate possible, which makes it easy to service clearly increased.
  • the bottom valve 100 consists of a Valve body 10, through which the bottom valve 100 with the Containers for liquid hazardous substances, not shown connected is.
  • the valve body 10 has a through opening 11 through which it is emptied and in the area of which is the moving parts of the bottom valve 100 are arranged.
  • Protruding into the through opening 11 is a holder 12 for a guide rod 13 arranged.
  • the guide rod 13 is from the bracket 12 at one end 14 in the middle of the through opening 11 held.
  • On the guide rod 13 is sliding the valve plate 15 mounted, the valve plate 15 adjacent to the bracket 12 for the guide rod 13 is articulated on an actuation unit 16, by means of which the opening and closing of the bottom valve 100 is controlled.
  • the valve plate 15 is located already inside the container and sitting with one edge 17 running around the bottom on the valve body 10 and seals the container.
  • the valve plate 15 consists of an upper part 18 and a lower part 19, which are screwed together.
  • the upper part is 18 conical, so that the bulk material is completely can slide away from it.
  • the flat seal 20 having the same outer diameter has like the upper part 18, which is larger than the diameter of the through hole 11 and the outer diameter of the lower part 19, so that the flat gasket 20 pressed through the upper part 18 on the valve body 10 becomes.
  • the contact pressure is a tapered Coil spring 21 (Fig. 3) reached inside 22 of the valve plate 15 is arranged.
  • the conical The course of the spiral spring 21 is conical Forming the upper part 18 of the valve plate 15 adapted.
  • the spring seat of the lower part 19 of the valve plate 15 is between the sliding bush 23 for in the valve plate 15 leading guide rod 13 and the with a thread 24 for screwing the upper part 18 and lower part 19 provided, raised edge 25 is provided.
  • the other side 26 of the coil spring 21 supports located at the end 27 in the valve plate 15 the guide rod 13 or one with a nut 28 disc attached to the end 27 of the guide rod 12 29 from.
  • the sliding bush 23 is on the lower part 19 of the valve plate 15 molded in one piece and has to reduce the A coating 31 on its sliding surface 30 on how B. Teflon or the like.
  • the operating unit 16 can be manual or pneumatic or other suitable Way to be operated.
  • the operating unit 16 consists of a lever arm 32 which on the lower part 19th or is articulated directly on the outside of the sliding bush 23.
  • the lever arm 32 is via devices not shown here moves, this on the valve body 10 is articulated again. This pivot point is located but not directly in the area of the through opening 11 but in a lateral recess 33 of the through opening 11.
  • On the opposite of the container Side of the bottom valve 100 this is with one here only partially shown connector 34 provided.
