Definitions

  • the invention is related to a pipe arrangement in connection with a container for transport of sludge or other liquid, and especially to a pipe arrangement which comprises a pipe socket fastened to a container and a pipe which essentially consists of a first pipe coupled to the pipe socket and a second pipe connected to the first pipe by means of a hinge and a flexible pipe arrangement.
  • the invention may be applied in e.g. agriculture for transport of liquid manure or urine from collection containers to fields or to another storage place or a handling plant.
  • the collection containers may be totally or partly underground. Also the location of the containers in relation to buildings and roads varies. Therefore, a pipe arrangement is needed in connection with a transport container with which arrangement the end of a suction pipe may be brought in every case at a suitable height and distance from the transport container.
  • a pipe arrangement of a sludge trailer is mehanized by means of articulated joints and hydraulics so that also two or three hydraulic cylinders with necessary valve blocks and control accessories are included. That kind of solution is . .. expensive.
  • WO 03/095754 presents conduit cleaning means for cleaning sewage conduits, for example, in which an extraction pipe is formed of several pipe portions connected pivotally to each other, whereby the extraction pipe may be folded together so that it is accommodated to the frame of the vehicle and opened to various positions. The operation of the extraction pipe is not presented in further detail in the document.
  • DE 8608467 Ul presents a pipe of a liquid transport trailer which pipe is formed by a first pipe starting from a container and three additional pipe portions which form certain angles with each other, and are connected successively to each other with three joints which allow rotation.
  • the pipe may be set so that it is in rest position accommodated to the shape of the container.
  • the pipe is used at least by rotating the second pipe portion in relation to the first pipe and additionally by rotating by means of a hydraulic motor the fourth pipe portion in relation to the second and third pipe portions, for example.
  • the angle between the first pipe portion extending from the container and the second pipe portion rotatable in relation to it is essentially right.
  • the solution is quite complicated.
  • ES 8504059 presents a similar type solution operating by means of two rotatable pipe joints and two hydraulic cylinders.
  • An object of the invention is to present a more simplified and economically advantageous pipe arrangement in connection with a container for transport of sludge or other liquid.
  • a pipe arrangement of the invention in connection with a container for transport of sludge or other liquid which pipe arrangement comprises a pipe socket fastened to a container and a pipe which essentially consists of a first pipe coupled to the pipe socket and a second pipe connected to the first pipe by means of a hinge and a flexible pipe arrangement, is characterized in that which is defined in the characterizing part of the independent claim 1.
  • the pipe arrangement of the invention is mechanically simplified and is operating by means of one simple driving device. However, the operation may be controlled from the cabin of a vehicle.
  • the pipe arrangement as a whole may be manufactured as one component which may be installed either to transport containers during the manufacturing phase in a factory or afterwards to containers which are in use. When installing afterwards, the pipe arrangement may be realized in connection with a manhole.
  • the simple structure of the pipe arrangement reduces pumping loss and makes pumping faster. Due to simplicity, the pipe arrangement is lightweight and makes possible to use a pump also at the suction end of the pipe. By that means the solution is suitable for both containers provided with a vacuum pump and containers in which the pumping is carried out with a pump located at the end of the pipe. When there is a vacuum pump in the container, using an auxiliary pump at the suction end makes the charging of the container significantly faster. Because of the simplicity of the solution, also the need of service and spareparts is reduced.
  • Figs. 1 to 3 present in front, plan and rear views, respectively, a possible realization of the pipe arrangement of the invention in connection with a container;
  • Fig. 4a is a sectional view presenting an example of coupling a pipe to a pipe socket
  • Fig. 4b is a partly sectional view presenting schematically a possible realization of operating the pipe by rotating it;
  • Figs. 5 to 7 present in more detail an example of realizing a hinge included in the pipe arrangement of the invention
  • Fig. 8 presents in plan view another possible realization of the pipe arrangement of the invention in connection with a container;
  • Figs. 9 to 11 present the realization of Fig. 8 and its operation in rear view;
  • Fig. 12 presents a further example of realizing a hinge included in the pipe arrangement of the invention.
  • Figs. 13 to 18 illustrate in a simplified way the operation of the solution of Figs. 1 to 3, each figure including a perspective view above, a rear view in the middle and a bottom view below.
  • the pipe socket is directed horizontally forwards in an angle of about 45 degrees in relation to the longitudinal direction of the container.
  • a rigid pipe 4 is coupled at its end 6 to the pipe socket 3.
  • the end 6 is a short straight part of the pipe coupled with bearings to the inside of the pipe socket in a way described in Fig. 4a, for example.
  • teflon bearings 20 and 21 have been placed at a long enough distance from each other, the pipe 4 being supported at its end 6 slidably on said bearings.
  • Flanges 21 have been fastened on the outside of the pipe, between which flanges retaining claws 22 are coupled locking the pipe longitudinally in place. .
  • a tooth-wheel 7 surrounding coaxially the pipe is fastened being located quite close to the end of the pipe socket.
  • a hydraulic motor 8 fastened to the pipe socket is coupling to the tooth-wheel, whereby the hydraulic motor may be controlled to rotate the pipe to one or the other direction.
  • the gear, the hydraulic motor and the control means as such fall within conventional technology and are presented here only in a very schematical way as an example of a possible realization.
  • a toothed bar driven by a hydraulic cylinder or an electric motor provided with a suitable gear, for example could be coupled to the tooth-wheel.
  • Fig. 4b presents schematically another possible realization of operating the pipe by rotating it.
  • the wall of the end 6 of the pipe 4 coupled with bearings to the pipe socket is thickened, as indicated by reference sign 25, and a spiral groove 26 running around the pipe is worked on it.
  • a spiral groove 26 running around the pipe is worked on it.
  • the pin is fastened to the driving device, e.g. hydraulic cylinder (not shown), by suitable means 29.
  • the spiral arrangement may, of course, be of another kind. Instead of spiral groove, there may be a spiral ridge to which e.g. a slide driven by a hydraulic cylinder or a gear driven by a hydraulic motor is coupling.
  • the short part 6 of the pipe 4 forming the coupling end is in an angle ⁇ , which in this example is about 45°, in relation to the general direction of the pipe. So, the pipe 4 is in the rest state described in Figs. 1 to 3 placed at the side of the container parallelly with it, and a bracket 16 is attached on the side of the container for it. For providing a good extension, the pipe 4 is advantageously almost as long as the container 2.
  • Another straight and rigid pipe 5 is connected to the other end of it by means of an articulated joint 9 formed by a hinge 13, 14 and flexible pipes 12.
  • the ends of the pipes 4 and 5 are two-branched at 10 and 11, whereby the hinge 13, 14 between the pipes may be placed in the middle and flexible pipes 12 on both sides of the hinge.
  • the hinge may be placed at a suitable distance from the ends of the pipes and it causes no interference with the operation of the flexible pipes. . _ . . . . -
  • a shallow trough 24 is fastened to the pipe 4, which trough in the rest state of the pipe is placed on the upper side of the pipe 4 and in alignment with the pump 15 at the end of the pipe 5.
  • the trough is provided firstly for collecting runoffs from the pump and secondly for supporting the pump 15 and at the same time the pipe 5 so that they are held better in place on the pipe 4. Otherwise the pipes would be against each other and supported only by the articulated joint 9.
  • there would be irons extending upwards from the sides of the pipe 4 or a fork attached to the pipe 4 which would place the pipes 4 and 5 in alignment with each other and support the pipe 5 laterally.
  • there would be both the trough and the fork or similar means also in the case (when the container is provided with a vacuum pump) in which there is no pump at the end of the pipe 5.
  • the hinge may be realized in a way presented in Figs. 5 to 7, for example.
  • the pipe 5 may be turned in the rest state on the pipe 4 and against it and in the other extreme position of the hinge (Fig. 7) to form a straight extension of the pipe 4.
  • the pipe described in Figs. 8 to 11 differs from that described above in that that instead of the pipe socket 3 fastened to the container or the frame of the container there is a suitably bent pipe 3' for the same purpose and operating similarly, the pipe being coupled turnably to the upper part of the rear wall of the container 2.
  • a sleeve to which the pipe 3' is coupled with bearings in a similar way as the pipe 4 to the pipe socket 3.
  • the pipe 3' is termed pipe socket.
  • the pipe 3' may be turned and locked so that it works as the said pipe socket in rear view either at the right side or the left side of the container.
  • On the rear wall of the container there are support pieces 18a and 18b, respectively, for holding the pipe 3' in the right position and corresponding lugs 19a and 19b provided with holes for a suitable locking pin with which the pipe may be prevented from turning upwards.
  • a hydraulic motor 8' is now fastened to the pipe 3' on its outside.
  • FIGs. 13 to 18 By means of Figs. 13 to 18, the operation of the pipe arrangement of Figs. 1 to 3 is illustrated.
  • the container 2 the pipe socket 3, the pipe 9 formed by pipes 4 and 5, and the pump 15 at the end of the pipe are presented.
  • the uppermost drawing which is in perspective view, how much the pipe arrangement has been rotated at the base of the pipe 4.
  • Fig. 13 the pipe has been rotated 45°, and the pipe arrangement is just raised to the position in which it extends obliquely upwards at the side of the container.
  • Fig. 14 the pipe has been rotated 90°, and the pipe arrangement is turned to the uppermost position in which it is extending obliquely sidewards.
  • the hinge 9 and the pivot are in the position in which the pipe 5 is still close to the pipe 4 but, as the rotation is continued, starts under the influence of gravity to turn away from it.
  • the end of the pipe and the pump 15 are at the height from which they start to descend as the rotation is continued.
  • the pipe has been rotated 135°.
  • the pipe arrangement has been started to descend and the pipe 5 and the pump 15 to turn to extend downwards from the hinge 9.
  • Fig. 16 the pipe has been rotated 180°.
  • the pipe 4 is now directed horizontally outwards from the container 2 in right angle and the pipe 5 straight downwards from it.
  • the pipe 4 is rotating forming a conical surface the apex of which is the bending point close to its base. Also the other parts are moving during the rotation quite accurately along a certain path. The user of the container and the pipe arrangement learns quickly these paths and is able to place the container trailer in every case and situation properly. The paths may also be affected to some extent by moving suitably the trailer during the rotation.
  • the pipe socket is directed horizontally forwards in an angle of about 45 degrees in relation to the longitudinal direction of the container, and the bending angle of the first pipe coupled to the pipe socket is also 45°.
  • These angles are- - - - - advantageous in view of the extension of the pipe, for example. It is clear that similar operation may be provided with other angles, too. What is essential in the operation of the solution is that said angles differ enough from right angle and are in every case within the range of 20 to 90° or preferably within the range of 30 to 60° or 35 to 55°. As stated above, usually the best solution is that the angles are 45 ⁇ 5°.
  • the pipe socket and the corresponding pipe may be fastened to the container in many other ways than those described above.
  • a manhole may be replaced by a structure to which the pipe socket is fastened and which is suitable for the same attachment.
  • the position of the pipe socket may be changed for other purposes than changing the side of the pipe arrangement described above.
  • the pipe socket may be fastened by means of a horizontally turnable lockable attachment whereby the locking may be released at need and then the pipe arrangement turned e.g. manually in a certain situation to a suitable position for necessary extension.
  • the invention may vary within the scope of the accompanying claims.
