Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Transport- und Lagerbehälter für Flüssigkeiten gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to transport and storage containers for liquids according to the preamble of claim 1.

Beim seitlichen Verrutschen von einem aus der EP 0 370 307 B1 bekannten Transport- und Lagerbehälter dieser Gattung für Flüssigkeiten auf einem untergestapelten, gleichartigen Behälter während des Transports oder beim Aufeinanderstapeln besteht die Gefahr, daß der obere Behälter mit Eck- und Mittelfüßen von dem als Rohr ausgebildeten, oberen Randprofil des Gittermantels des unteren Behälters nach innen abrutscht. Dies hat zur Folge, daß der obere Bereich des Gittermantels des unteren Behälters unter dem Gewicht des mit einer Flüssigkeit gefüllten, oberen Behälters aufgeweitet wird, so daß sich die Verschraubungen der diagonal über den oberen Boden des Kunststoff-Innenbehälters verlaufenden Deckelstreben mit dem oberen Randprofil lösen und der Innenbehälter sowie die Schweißverbindungen der oberen Enden der vertikalen Gitterstäbe mit dem oberen Randprofil des Gittermantels beschädigt werden. Ferner besteht die Möglichkeit, daß beim Transport von gestapelten Behältern infolge von äußeren Schlag- und Stoßbeanspruchungen die Schweißverbindungen der vertikalen Gitterstäbe mit dem oberen Randprofil des Gittermantels versagen und das Randprofil sich teilweise oder vollkommen von den vertikalen Gitterstäben des Gittermantels löst und dadurch Transportschäden an den Behältern verursacht werden.When sliding sideways from a known from EP 0 370 307 B1 transport and storage containers of this type for liquids on a stacked, like container during transport or when stacking there is a risk that the upper container with corner and middle feet of the tube trained, upper edge profile of the mesh shell of the lower container slips inward. This has the consequence that the upper portion of the grid shell of the lower container is expanded under the weight of the filled with a liquid upper container, so that solve the glands of the diagonally extending over the upper bottom of the plastic inner container lid struts with the upper edge profile and the inner container as well as the welded joints of the upper ends of the vertical grid bars are damaged with the upper edge profile of the grid jacket. There is also the possibility that during the transport of stacked containers fail due to external impact and impact stresses the welded joints of the vertical bars with the upper edge profile of the grid shell and the edge profile partially or completely detached from the vertical bars of the grid shell and thereby transport damage to the containers caused.

Die DE-A-4 425 630 offenbart einen Transport- und Lagerbehälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.DE-A-4 425 630 discloses a transport and storage container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Konstruktion des Gittermantels des gattungsgemäßen Transport- und Lagerbehälters für Flüssigkeiten im Hinblick auf eine erhöhte Stapel- und Transportsicherheit des Behälters zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the construction of the lattice mantle of the generic transport and storage container for liquids in terms of increased stacking and transport safety of the container.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Transport- und Lagerbehälter mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a transport and storage container with the features of claim 1.

Die Unteransprüche beinhalten vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung.The subclaims contain advantageous and expedient developments of the invention.

Der erfindungsgemäße Transport- und Lagerbehälter für Flüssigkeiten zeichnet sich durch folgende Vorteile aus:The transport and storage container for liquids according to the invention is characterized by the following advantages:

Der obere, flache, umlaufende Rand des oberen Randprofils des Gittermantels des Transport- und Lagerbehälters gewährleistet eine sichere Abstützung eines aufgestapelten Behälters mit seinen Eck- und Mittelfüßen auf einem unteren Behälter. Das in den Doppelsteg des oberen Randprofils des Gittermantels eingeformte Wellenprofil mit vorzugsweise drei umlaufenden Schweißbuckelrändern und das Wellenprofil der flach gedrückten, oberen Enden der als Hohlprofile ausgebildeten, vertikalen Gitterstäbe des Gittermantels mit mindestens zwei Schweißbuckeln gewährleisten eine optimale Buckelschweißung der vertikalen Gitterstäbe und des oberen Randprofils des Gittermantels im Kreuzstoß, wobei in das äußere Wellenprofil des ein inneres und ein äußeres Wellenprofil aufweisenden Doppelsteges des oberen Randprofils des Gittermantels eingeformte Sicken eine Optimierung des Anpreßdrucks der Schweißelektroden ermöglichen. Der begrenzt federnd ausgebildete Auflagesteg, der von dem Doppelsteg schräg nach innen in das obere Randprofil des Gittermantels gerichtet ist und der sich mit dem Innenrand auf den oberen Enden der vertikalen Gitterstäbe abstützt, legt sich unter der Stapellast eines aufgestapelten Behälters über die ganze Breite auf die oberen Enden der senkrechten Gitterstäbe auf, so daß die Schweißstellen an den Kreuzstößen der vertikalen Gitterstäbe und des horizontalen, oberen Randprofils des Gittermantels nicht durch die Stapellast beansprucht werden und die beim Stapeln auf den jeweils untergestapelten Behälter schlagartig wirkende Stapellast abgefedert und dadurch eine Beschädigung des Gittermantels vermieden wird. Durch die Verbindung der abgeflachten, ein Wellenprofil aufweisenden, oberen Enden der vertikalen, als Rohre ausgebildeten Gitterstäbe des Gittermantels über bogenförmige Ausformungen, die unter der Stapellast eines aufgestapelten Behälters begrenzt elastische Sollbiegestellen bilden, mit den Rohrstücken der Gitterstäbe wird die Federwirkung des oberen Randprofils des Gittermantels noch verbessert, so daß Stoßbeanspruchungen, die durch einen aufgestapelten Behälter beim Transport aufgrund von Unebenheiten einer Fahrbahn und einer harten Federung des Transportmittels sowie Fahrschwingungen des Transportmittels verursacht werden können, abgefedert werden. Schließlich wird durch die Aufnahme der oberen Enden der vertikalen Gitterstäbe in einer umlaufenden, nutartigen Einformung des oberen Randprofils des Gittermantels verhindert, daß sich die Gitterstäbe von dem Randprofil lösen, wenn die Schweißverbindungen einzelner Gitterstäbe mit dem oberen Randprofil aufgrund einer Überbeanspruchung durch eine übergroße äußere Schlag- oder Stoßbeanspruchung zum Beispiel beim Fall des Transport- und Lagerbehälters aus größerer Höhe zerstört sind.The upper, flat, peripheral edge of the upper edge profile of the mesh sheath of the transport and storage container ensures safe support of a stacked container with its corner and middle feet on a lower container. The molded into the double ridge of the upper edge profile of the grid shell wave profile with preferably three circumferential Schweißbuckelrändern and the wave profile of the flattened, upper ends of the formed as a hollow profile, vertical bars of the grid shell with at least two weld humps ensure optimal projection welding of the vertical bars and the upper edge profile of the Lattice mantle in the cross joint, wherein in the outer wave profile of an inner and an outer wave profile having double ridge of the upper edge profile of the lattice mantle formed beads enable optimization of the contact pressure of the welding electrodes. The limited spring-trained support web, which is directed by the double web obliquely inwardly into the upper edge profile of the grid shell and which is supported with the inner edge on the upper ends of the vertical bars, placed under the stacking load of a stacked container over the entire width of the upper ends of the vertical bars on, so that the welds on the cross joints of the vertical bars and the horizontal, upper edge profile of the grid shell are not claimed by the staple load and the abruptly stacked when stacking on the respective stacked container stacking load and thereby damage the mesh shell is avoided. By connecting the flattened, having a corrugated profile, upper ends of the vertical, designed as tubes bars of the lattice casing on arcuate formations that form limited elastic under the stacking load of a stacked container elastic predetermined bending points, with the pipe sections of the bars is the spring action of the upper edge profile of the grid shell still improved, so that impact stresses that can be caused by a stacked container during transport due to unevenness of a road and a hard suspension of the transport and driving vibrations of the means of transport are cushioned. Finally, it is prevented by the inclusion of the upper ends of the vertical bars in a circumferential, groove-like indentation of the upper edge profile of the grid shell that the bars disengage from the edge profile when the welded joints of individual bars with the upper edge profile due to a Overstress are destroyed by an excessive external shock or impact stress, for example, in the case of the transport and storage container from a greater height.
