The recesses are detachably attached to a stop unit that engages to the recesses in a form fit manner. The retention area are attached to a dome for supporting wall surface opposite to each other.

Description

The present invention relates to a percolation module having a percolation block including a retention space for retaining incoming water and lifting means which allow the percolation block to be lifted by a forklift.

Such a percolation module is already out of the DE 20 2005 016712 U previously known. It is provided that a percolation module in the region of a bottom surface has a plurality of foot receptacles, in which foot elements can be used. Due to an increase in the lower edge of the infiltration modules in question by these foot elements they can be driven by a forklift, so that it is thus possible to transport the infiltration modules with a forklift, but without the use of a pallet. A plurality of infiltration modules, whose lowermost infiltration module has said foot elements, is thereby assembled into a stack and can then be laid as a compact module package en bloc or even transported.

However, it is necessary for this purpose to first mount the foot elements under the lowest infiltration module, after an attachment of the foot elements after stacking is no longer possible. In addition, appropriate foot elements must be kept regularly available in addition.

Against this background, the present invention, the object of the invention to provide a percolation module, which is also transportable without the use of pallets with a forklift, but no separate foot elements must be mounted or carried.

This is achieved by a percolation module according to the features of the main claim. Further useful embodiments of the infiltration module can be taken from the subclaims.

According to the invention, a percolation module is inscribed with a plurality of recesses through which the forks of a fork-lift truck can engage in the infiltration module. If then the fork of the forklift raised, the infiltration module is also raised on its side wall and can be easily transported. For this purpose, it is not necessary to first install under the lowest infiltration module foot elements, whereby an increase of the infiltration module would have to be achieved. On additional elements can rather be completely dispensed with in a simplest embodiment.

After a retention space for incoming water is trapped by the infiltration module, it makes sense if the walls of the Sickerblocks thus formed remain as completely as possible for laying in the ground. For this purpose, can be preformed in the recesses either open or closed. As far as the recesses are provided in a closed form, they need to be opened with a suitable tool only when needed, so that the opening in practice is only required at the lowest stacked percolating block. The remaining infiltration modules do not need to be processed in this respect.

In order to avoid having to suffer any disadvantage in the bottom-stacked infiltration modules because of recesses that have been opened, it makes sense to detachably connect the recesses-insofar as they have been opened-closure means which engage in a form-fitting manner in the recesses. In this way, a lid is assigned to the recesses, so that leakage of water or ingress of soil into the percolating block is effectively prevented. At this closure means can also be arranged on the outside with particular advantage latching means, which can serve to engage in adjacent recesses. Lying two recesses in adjacent stacks directly flush with each other side by side, it can be connected by the corresponding closure means in one of the recesses due to the Verrastungsmittels this also with the other recess. In this way, a connection of two laterally adjacent infiltration modules, for example for the simultaneous laying of multiple infiltration modules or for transport, made possible.

In a preferred embodiment of a side of a percolation module exactly two recesses are assigned, which are spaced so that the fork of a forklift can just intervene here. However, additional recesses may be added to the same side wall, which take into account other forklift widths.

Advantageously, the recesses are designed so that the fork of a forklift on one side of the percolator block enters through a recess, traverses the percolator block in the region of a forklift channel and, if appropriate, can emerge again on the other side through corresponding recesses.

To increase the stability of the arrangement, the percolating block in the region of its retention space is provided with domes which crash against one another walls lying opposite one another. These domes are arranged so that they do not interfere with the stacker channels of the recesses.

For improved handling, the Sickerblock invention is designed to be stackable, where it absorbs the dimensions of a euro pallet in the base. The corresponding dimensions are 1,200 x 800 mm, although the resulting surface may quite well be a multiple of the base area of a percolating block.

In a further, useful embodiment, the percolator block has at least one engagement means, for example a hook, a handle, or an eyelet, by means of which a connection with a transport hook, namely a crane hook, can be produced. It is thus possible to lift a stack of soak-blocks in one piece with the help of a crane and place them in an excavation pit, by connecting the crane hook with the engagement means of the uppermost percolating block.

So that a connection of the stacked seepage blocks can also be realized, a plurality of infiltration modules are tied together by means of a packaging tape to form a module package, which can then be laid or transported as a whole. However, it has been shown that such a packaging tape, which can be made of plastic or steel, can easily slip off sideways, so that it makes sense to provide a groove for each packaging tape along the side surfaces of the infiltration modules, wherein these grooves are arranged such that they continue seamlessly across multiple, stacked infiltration modules. The grooves hold the packaging tape in place to prevent slippage of the packaging tape along the side surfaces of the infiltration modules.

As far as such a module package of infiltration modules in an even larger number, such as a crane, to be laid or transported, it is possible to connect a plurality of module packages using a closure means with a latching means as described in claim 4. In this case, a connection is produced in that the closure means engage with their latching means in the empty recesses of the other module package and engage there.

The invention described above will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment.

FIG. 1 shows a percolation module 1, which essentially consists of a percolation block 2. The bead block 2 is made of a wall which has a lattice-shaped structure. The Sickerblock 2 has inter alia a side wall 6, which are associated with two recesses 3,3 '. These recesses 3,3 'are designed in their dimensions and distances from each other so that a forklift can drive into these recesses 3,3' with his fork. This makes it possible to dispense with the use of a pallet, which would otherwise have to be arranged below the infiltration module 1. This is particularly useful when several such infiltration modules 1 are stacked on top of each other, in which case only the lowest infiltration module 1 would have corresponding recesses 3, 3 '. Therefore, the recesses 3,3 'preformed closed, so that they are opened only when it is the respective percolation module 1 at the bottom stacked percolation module 1. In this case, the recesses can be opened with simple tools, such as a hammer.

Furthermore, the respective infiltration module 1 in each case has a groove for two packaging tapes 4, 4 ', by means of which a plurality of infiltration modules 1 stacked on top of one another can be connected to one another. For this, in particular made of plastic or steel, packaging strips 4,4 'is therefore provided on the surface of the percolation block 2 each have a groove to avoid that a lateral slippage of the packaging tapes 4,4' causes the connection of the dissolved on each other percolation modules 1 stacked.

The infiltration module 1 also has engagement means 5,5 ', which are formed as handles, in which crane hooks are suspended. In a module package 9 comprising a plurality of infiltration modules 1, the uppermost infiltration module can be grasped and lifted by a crane on the engagement means 5, 5 'in this way. In addition to the transport by means of a forklift truck, this opens up further possibilities for relocating several infiltration modules 1 simultaneously in a construction site or laying them in the ground.

FIG. 2 shows a side view of the infiltration module 1, wherein it can be seen that the recesses 3,3 'pass through the infiltration module 1 completely. In the interior of the infiltration module 1, in particular in the interior of the percolating block 2, domes are mounted to support the construction, which support an upper against a lower wall. In this case, the domes remove predetermined stacker channels through the recesses 3, 3 ', so that a forklift fork engaging in the recesses 3, 3' can completely penetrate the infiltration module 1.

FIG. 3 shows a further enlarged section of a corner of the percolation module, in which the lattice structure of the wall is again clear.

FIG. 4 shows a closure means which can be inserted into a recess 3, 3 'in such a way that the recess 3, 3' is thereby releasably closed. As soon as a percolating module 1 has been laid as intended, the recesses 3, 3 'needed for the transport are no longer needed, so that it makes sense to close them with the aid of the aforementioned closure means 7.

FIG. 5 shows a percolation module 1, in which a closure means 7 in one of the recesses 3,3 'is inserted. Depending on requirements, the respective closure means can be easily removed at a later time.

FIG. 6 shows a closure means with a latching element 8, which serves to side by side stacked Sickerblöcke connect with each other. Here, the closure means, as previously written, inserted into a recess 3,3 ', wherein the latching means projects outwardly. If now another infiltration module is arranged next to the first infiltration module 1 so that a recess comes to lie next to the closure means 7 with the latching means 8, the latching means 8 can engage in the recesses of the second infiltration module. As a result, the two infiltration modules are locked against each other, with the effect that multiple infiltration module stacks can be interconnected. This has the advantage that with a crane several module packages 9, each consisting of several Sickerblöcken 2, simultaneously hung and moved in larger units or can be transported.

FIG. 7 shows such a module package 9 of several stacked percolation modules 1, wherein on the shorter side wall a fastening variant is provided in which only two closure means are provided with Verrastungsmitteln, while in the wider side surface four closure means 7 are provided which in each case in the corresponding recesses of a flush adjacent to be set up module package 9 can intervene.

FIG. 8 shows a section of a module package 9, in particular a packaging tape 4 is shown, which is inserted into a specially provided for this purpose groove. Such a groove is provided such that stacked seepage blocks 2 receive the contour of this groove and continue such that a common groove for the packaging tape 4 is formed over a plurality of seepage blocks 2. In this way it is prevented that the inserted into the groove packaging tape 4 can slip sideways.

Thus described above is a percolation module which is particularly easy to transport in that it has receptacles into which the tines of a forklift fork can engage. As a result, a module package of such infiltration modules can be installed or transported en bloc without the use of pallets on which these modules would normally be stacked.
