Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connecting device between a tank, arranged on a frame and this frame, and in particular to a connecting device for a substantially cylindrical tank, for the transport of fluids.
  • GB-A-2 013 624 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • connection between a tank and the surrounding frame is carried out using material substantially of the same conductive material of heat that this cistern and that framework, that is to say in alloy steel.
  • This connection system has a disadvantage major: the whole formed by the tank and the frame realizes a single entity from the thermal point of view; So when the tank carries hot products likely to cool, the heat of the tank is transmitted to the frame and vice versa, when the tank carries cold products likely to warm up, the heat of the frame is transmitted to the tank.
  • Binding devices of the prior art therefore generate a loss of internal energy products stored in the tank and a decrease in enthalpy of these products, because of the thermal contact between the tank and the frame.
  • the present invention intends to remedy disadvantages of the prior art by proposing a connecting device that cuts the thermal connection between the tank and the frame, that is thermally insulated the tank vis-à-vis the frame, while allowing, well sure to keep the tank on the frame.
  • Said fixing means is preferably consisting of at least one bolt and one nut, said bolt passing through a hole in said flange, through a hole formed in said seal and by a hole in said skirt.
  • said skirt When the tank is substantially circular in cross-section, said skirt has one end circular centripetal and a centrifugal end rectangular. However, an E space is provided between the centripetal end of said skirt and said wall exterior.
  • said flange is preferably less partially circular to fit the said outer wall.
  • a reinforcing gusset is preferably disposed between said flange and said outer wall.
  • Said flange is preferably connected to the outer wall of said tank by welding and / or said skirt is preferably connected to said beam of frame by welding.
  • the tank being substantially circular cross section
  • said seal is annular and has an axis coaxial with the axis of said tank.
  • Said seal is preferably constituted a thermally insulating material.
  • Said seal is preferably constituted essentially Teflon, possibly charged.
  • the present invention also relates to a circumferential connection system between a tank substantially cylindrical and a frame, using a plurality of devices according to the invention, said devices being disposed on the periphery of said tank, on at least one circumference.
  • the present invention also relates to a tank and in particular a tank with a frame and having at least one connecting device between the tank and the frame according to the invention or at least one circumferential connection system according to the invention.
  • the present invention allows to neutralize the existing thermal bridges previously between the tank and the supporting frame.
  • the tank is thus isolated from the framework and the connection between the tank and the no longer generates energy loss.
  • the tank (20) according to the invention, illustrated Figures 1 to 3 is a cistern with a wall outer shell (21) substantially cylindrical "Ferrule", for example thick stainless steel 3 millimeters, and a longitudinal axis (22).
  • the cistern is closed at its front and rear ends by walls Concave taper, respectively (23, 24).
  • the tank (20) according to the invention is preferably, intended to make a rolling tank; In this description, the reference to front and back positioning is therefore relative to in the general sense of the vehicle.
  • the tank (20) comprises, oriented towards the above, a manhole (25) for filling the tank, reclosable with a hood and having a diameter of the order of 50 centimeters, and in the bottom of its rear wall (24), a drain (26) gravity. She may also include a ladder (27), foldable.
  • the tank (20) has a length (28), overall, of the order of 8 meters and a diameter outside (29) of the order of 2 meters.
  • the tank (20) has a capacity of the order of 25,000 liters.
  • the tank (20) is housed inside a frame (30) substantially surrounding said tank (20), or at least the cylindrical part of the tank.
  • This frame (30) consists of longitudinal beams (31), transverse and oblique. It forms a substantial right parallelepiped.
  • the frame (30) has a width (32) out all of the order of 2, 5 meters and a height (33) out all of the order of 2.7 meters.
  • the tank (20) is linked to the frame (30) by via at least one connecting device (10), as shown in Figure 4.
  • holes are provided in said flange (11) in said seal (14) and in said skirt (12), these elements being positioned by relationship to others so that said holes are coaxial and parallel to the axis (22) of the tank (20), in order to be able to slide a bolt (15), for example M18x60.
  • a nut (16) is screwed onto said bolt (15).
  • the axis of the bolt is substantially parallel to the axis (22) of the tank (20), once mounted.
  • the skirt (12) is at least partially circular to follow said outer wall (21), that is, its centripetal end is preferably circular, and has a radius of curvature along an axis parallel to the axis (22) of the tank.
  • a space E is however provided between the centripetal end of said skirt (12) and said wall outside (21), that is to say that the radius of curvature of the centripetal end of said skirt (12) is greater the radius of curvature of the outer wall (21) of the tank (20).
  • the space E, annular, has a width of the order of 5 millimeters.
  • the centrifugal end of the skirt (12) is rectangular, so that it can be fixed, for example by welding, to the beam (31).
  • the average plane of the skirt (12) is perpendicular to the axis (22) of the tank (20).
  • the section of the beam is, for example, 150x100 mm, steel thickness 6 mm.
  • the skirt (12) is preferably made of steel and has a thickness of about 8 millimeters.
  • the flange (11) is also at least partially circular to fit said wall outer (21), that is, its centripetal end is preferably circular, and has a radius of curvature along an axis parallel to the axis (22) of the tank.
  • the radius of curvature of the centripetal end of said flange (11) is substantially equal to the radius of curvature of the outer wall (21) of the tank (20) and said flange (11) is fixed on the outer wall (21) by welding on the front and back sides of the flange (11).
  • the centrifugal end of the flange (11) is also, preferably, circular.
  • the flange (11) therefore forms a ring with a width of about 50 millimeters and a thickness of about 20 millimeters.
  • the mean plane of the annular flange (11) is perpendicular to the axis (22) of the tank (20).
  • a reinforcing gusset (17) is disposed between said flange (11) and said outer wall (21), perpendicularly to said outer wall (21) and to the front or rear face of said flange (11).
  • This gusset, illustrated in FIG. 6, has a thickness of around 8 millimeters and is positioned so that his face principal, as shown in Figure 6, is substantially parallel to a radius passing through the axis (22) of the tank (20).
  • a reinforcing ring (18) can also be arranged between on the one hand the flange (11) and the gusset reinforcement (17) and on the other hand the outer wall (21).
  • the seal (13) is a ring having a inner diameter of about 20 millimeters and one diameter outside about 35 millimeters.
  • Each device (10), as illustrated in FIG. a seal (13) and there is, all around the tank (20), as many seals (13) as there are devices (10).
  • said seal (13) is annular and has a axis coaxial with the axis of said tank (20).
  • the seal (10) thus forms a ring whose diameter interior is slightly larger than the outside diameter of said tank (20) and having a width of about 15 millimeters.
  • the said devices (10) are disposed at the periphery of said tank (20) on at least one circumference.
  • the tank (20) comprises, preferably, several devices (10) or more systems (100) over a plurality of parallel circumferences, the along the cylindrical body.
  • Said seal (13) has a thickness about 5 millimeters. It consists of a material thermally insulating, such as Teflon, possibly loaded with, for example, glass.
  • the illustrated tank is a tank intended for to be arranged on a means of transport, in order to to carry fluids, such as food liquids; however, the invention is described in the foregoing as an example. It is understood that the skilled person is able to achieve different variants of the invention without departing from the scope of the patent as defined in the claims, especially to make a cistern that is not intended to allow to transport fluids.
