Definitions
- the invention relates to a flexible liquid tank with the overall volume limiting, substantially flexible outer walls.
- Such flexible fluid tanks whose flexible outer walls or outer wall sections together form a one-piece or multi-part shell depending on the construction, are used for receiving, storing and transporting liquids, in particular liquid foodstuffs such as drinks of all kinds, preferably wines and fruit juices, and edible oils as well as liquid chemicals of all kinds such as oils and paints.
- the flexible liquid tank is usually arranged in a container by the interior of the container with the flexible liquid tank is substantially lined.
- the flexible liquid tank is first introduced in the empty state into the interior of the container and then filled with the desired liquid.
- the container gives the flexible liquid tank the necessary support. With the help of a flexible liquid tank one is thus able to supply liquids in a container store and transport.
- the flexible liquid tank takes on the task of a liquid-tight inner lining and is therefore also referred to as "inliner".
- the flexible liquid tank is made of a supple, flexible material, which is usually a sheet material. This material must be liquid-tight to prevent leakage, and also be such that the quality of the liquid transported goods does not suffer, which is particularly important for liquid foods of great importance.
- the containers lined and filled with a flexible liquid tank are usually transported on trucks, rail vehicles or ships.
- a crane e.g. from the lorry to a ship or vice versa
- the liquid volume in the flexible liquid tank inside the container inevitably starts to move, shifting its center of gravity in the direction of the acting forces. This creates a volume or mass turmoil.
- One reason for the occurrence of such a surge is the fact that the flexible liquid tank usually does not completely fill the interior of the container, but a void of a certain height must remain free to the ceiling of the container for weight reasons. This void is temporarily filled by the back-and-forth sloshing liquid.
- the flexible liquid tank is of course limited by an upper portion of the shell, but this is flexible and yielding and therefore bulges due to the volume surge upwards.
- a flexible liquid tank with its overall volume limiting, substantially flexible outer walls, characterized in that within the tank, at least one connecting element is provided which is secured at least a first portion to at least a portion of one of the outer walls and with a second Section anchored elsewhere in the tank.
- the inventive arrangement of at least one connecting element can be a bulging of the outer walls of the flexible liquid tank substantially prevent or at least significantly reduced. Because with the help of at least one connecting element according to the invention, the outer walls are kept substantially in position. On the occurrence of higher basic hydrostatic forces, and in particular high dynamic, buoyant mass forces caused by a movement of the liquid volume in the flexible liquid tank, the outer walls of the flexible liquid tank by means of the at least one connecting element - usually more connecting elements are provided - rather inwards pulled and thereby absorb at least a portion of these forces. This has the consequence that the outer walls of the flexible liquid tank even at least in some areas even from the wall of the flexible liquid tank receiving container stand out, resulting in a significant relief of the container walls.
- the at least one connecting element deforms in such a way that a deflection takes place in the direction of force, which corresponds to the instantaneous direction of movement of the liquid.
- This in turn has the consequence that the "elongated dimension" of the at least one connecting element is reduced and as a result the connecting element pulls at least a portion of an outer wall on which it is fastened with its first section inward, whereby the distance of this outer wall from reduced an opposite outer wall.
- the at least one connecting element assumes the function in the manner of a bulkhead or a transverse connection for receiving compressive forces, in particular in the case of strong fluid movements.
- the at least one connecting element can divide the flexible liquid tank into at least two chambers, which is the case in particular if the connecting element is designed as a wall element or wall and terminates substantially completely over its entire edge with the inside of the outer walls.
- the cavity of the flexible liquid tank is subdivided into at least two, usually a plurality of smaller chambers, thereby providing for each individual chamber compared to a large, continuous cavity each results in a significantly lower volume. Due to the smaller capacity in each chamber significantly lower fluid movements take place, resulting in correspondingly lower force.
- a multi-chamber arrangement forms a kind of stabilization system, which is able to absorb the high dynamic forces of the fluid largely within the flexible liquid tank.
- the one or more connecting elements for forming the chambers as a separating element or partition so the respective chamber limit accordingly and thereby absorb the forces in the manner described above at least partially.
- the formation of such a multi-chamber system for achieving a stabilizing structure in the aforementioned sense constitutes an independent invention aspect.
- Such chambers can be designed and arranged differently.
- At least one chamber communicates with at least one further chamber.
- the two chambers separating the connecting element has at least one passage.
- This passage can have a, preferably closable and / or semipermeable, valve.
- the one or more connecting elements substantially complete or complete over its or their entire edge with the inside of the outer walls and thus extends over the entire width corresponding to the width of the narrow side and at the same time over the entire height of the flexible liquid tank or ., arise in adjacent chambers.
- the chambers may be one above the other, next to each other and / or behind each other. Alternatively or additionally, zigzag or star-shaped arrangements and configurations are also conceivable.
- At least one chamber can essentially be surrounded by its own shell which has at least one section which is either fastened to a connecting element or forms at least one section of a connecting element. If at least two mutually adjoining or adjacent chambers are each surrounded by their own shell, the adjoining or adjacent sections of the shell can individually or jointly form at least one section of a connecting element. In this case, those adjoining or adjacent sections of the shell can be fixed to each other at least in sections. Alternatively or additionally, however, it is also conceivable that at least two mutually adjoining or adjacent chambers are each surrounded by their own shell and the adjoining or adjacent portions of the shell are individually or jointly at least partially attached to a connecting element.
- At least a portion of the shell is provided as part of the outer walls, which applies to the outer chambers, wherein in such a construction, the outer walls is then formed essentially of the outer portions of the shells of the individual chambers or consists of these.
- the at least one connecting element with its first portion at an angle, preferably approximately at right angles, opposite the portion of one of the outer walls, to which the connecting element is fastened with its first portion be arranged to make the previously described tensile forces act on the corresponding outer wall.
- Particularly effective is a substantially rectangular attachment of the connecting element.
- the connecting element or the connecting elements In order to withstand the forces described above and at the same time to exert the necessary, inwardly directed tensile forces on the outer walls of the flexible liquid tank, the connecting element or the connecting elements must of course be sufficiently dimensioned and must also, of course, a correspondingly strong attachment of the connecting element or the connecting elements be realized on the associated outer wall of the flexible liquid tank.
- the at least one connecting element should consist essentially of flexible, but low-stretch material.
- At least one connecting element should connect these two outer wall sections together and secured thereto.
- the flexible liquid tank has two long sides and two narrow sides, whereby the flexible liquid tank usually has a cuboid shape. Since the outer walls on the long sides, so the longitudinal walls, are more prone to buckling than the walls on the narrow sides and otherwise in most cases, the movements of the surge takes place in the longitudinal direction, which usually forms the transport direction of the flexible liquid tank receiving container should at least one connecting element with its first portion to be attached to at least one located on one of the long sides portion of the outer walls.
- the at least one connecting element extends at least in sections approximately in the direction of the long side.
- at least one connecting element forms a kind of intermediate wall or intermediate floor and connects the two opposite outer walls on the long sides, whereby the connecting element lies approximately in a horizontal plane and divides the cavity of the flexible liquid tank in the vertical direction into an upper portion and a lower portion.
- the flexible liquid tank is correspondingly divided into a plurality of superimposed sections.
- these sections may extend over the entire long side and at the same time over the entire narrow side, whereby individual chambers arise.
- the at least one connecting element extends at least in sections approximately transversely to the direction of the long side.
- the flexible liquid tank is divided in the longitudinal or horizontal direction into at least two sections lying one behind the other.
- the flexible liquid tank is correspondingly divided into a plurality of successive sections.
- the at least one connecting element can also extend diagonally within the flexible liquid tank.
- a spider-shaped arrangement of a plurality of connecting elements in particular with a common node located approximately in the middle within the flexible liquid tank.
- the at least one connecting element can be optional configure and arrange the at least one connecting element as a transverse strut.
- the at least one connecting element is formed substantially as a flat part, preferably as a tab, strips or, as already mentioned, wall element.
- the connecting element may also be provided in the manner of a rope.
- the flexible liquid tank is expediently essentially made of film, specifically in a single-layer or multilayer arrangement.
- the tank can be produced with a cuboid shape, which is particularly advantageous for transport in a container, which also has a cuboid shape.
- the flexible liquid tank can preferably also be surrounded on its outer walls by an envelope, which can contain, for example, fabric material and in particular offers both reinforcement and additional protection.
- FIG. 1 in perspective and partially sectioned view of a container received in a flexible fluid tank according to a first embodiment
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic detail in cross section of a detailed view of a section of the flexible liquid tank of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional detail view of a portion of the flexible liquid tank of FIG. 1 according to a first modification
- FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional detail view of a portion of the flexible liquid tank of FIG. 1 according to a second modification
- FIG. 5 is a perspective and partially sectioned view of a flexible liquid tank accommodated in a container according to a second embodiment.
- Figure 6 schematically in longitudinal section detail a flexible liquid tank according to a third embodiment.
- a flexible liquid tank 2 in a first embodiment and a container 4, in which the flexible liquid tank 2 is arranged are shown.
- the flexible liquid tank 2 has in the illustrated embodiment, the shape of a cuboid with two spaced apart long sides 2a, two end faces forming narrow sides 2b, a bottom 2c and the ceiling forming the upper part 2d.
- the containers with the usual standard dimensions have a cuboid shape. Only in this way is it possible to arrange the flexible liquid tank 2 with the greatest possible utilization of the available space in the container 4 by inserting the flexible liquid tank 2 into the container 4 as a liquid-tight inner lining.
- the container 4 thus has two long sides 4a which are spaced apart from each other, two narrow sides 4b which each form the end faces, a bottom 4c and a top part 4d forming the top.
- the bottom 2c of the flexible liquid tanks 2 corresponds in terms of its dimensions about the bottom 4c of the container 4;
- the length dimensions correspond to the long sides 2a of the flexible liquid tank 2 about the long sides 4a of the container 4
- the width dimensions correspond to the narrow sides 2b of the flexible Liquid tanks 2 about the narrow sides 4b of the container. 4
- the only significant difference in dimensions between the flexible liquid tank 2 and the container 4 is in the illustrated embodiment in terms of height. While the distance of the upper part 2d from the bottom 2c in the case of the flexible liquid tank 2 corresponds to the dimension "t" shown in FIG. 1, the upper part 4d of the container 4 is arranged at a distance "t + z" above its bottom 4c. Accordingly, in the illustrated embodiment remains a void with the height "z" between the upper part 2d of the flexible liquid tank 2 and the upper part 4d of the container 4. This space must remain free for weight reasons, otherwise there is a risk that by the weight of the in the flexible liquid tank 2 received liquid could exceed the additional carrying capacity of the container 4.
- the container 4 with the flexible liquid tank 2 located therein is usually transported in the longitudinal direction according to arrow X.
- the liquid volume in the flexible liquid tank 2 within the container 4 inevitably begins to move, shifting its center of gravity in the direction of the acting forces.
- This creates compressive forces which act on the long sides 2a and the narrow sides 2b of the flexible liquid tank 2 and are correspondingly transmitted to the long sides 4a and narrow sides 4b of the container 4.
- Those pressure forces are schematically indicated by arrows marked with "F" in Figure 1. Due to these pressure forces according to the arrows F, there is a risk that the flexible liquid tank 2 and thus also the container 4 bulges, this danger being on the long sides 2a and 4a, respectively is greatest.
- a plurality of spaced-apart connecting elements 6 are provided within the flexible liquid tank 2, which formed in the embodiment of Figure 1 as a separation or partition walls and with its peripheral edge substantially completely on the inner sides of the long sides 2a forming Exterior walls and on the inner sides of the bottom 2c and the upper part 2d are attached.
- the wall-like connecting elements 6 of the flexible liquid tank 2 is divided into chambers 8. Since the wall-like connecting elements 6 are arranged vertically in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the chambers 8 lie one behind the other in the longitudinal or horizontal direction (corresponding to the direction of the arrow X).
- the connecting elements 6, which, like the rest of the flexible liquid tank, consist of film material, deform in such a way that deflection takes place.
- the .Sehnenanno 1 of the connecting elements 6 is reduced and thus reduces the distance between the outer walls of the long sides 2a.
- the outer walls of the long sides 2a and thus also the individual chambers 8 are drawn inwards and also take up a part of the forces acting transversely to the longitudinal direction according to arrow X.
- This can even lead to the outer walls of the flexible liquid tank 2 at least on des- sen long sides 2a from the adjacent walls of the container 4 inwardly lift, which has a significant relief of the walls of the container 4 result.
- the entire flexible liquid tank 2 is additionally surrounded by a protective cover 10, which preferably contains a fabric for reinforcement.
- FIG. 2 shows in cross-section a section of the flexible liquid tank 2 of FIG. 1 in the region of one of the long sides 2a.
- FIG. 2 also shows that the individual chambers 8 are formed by the spaced arrangement of the connecting elements 6.
- FIG. 2 shows that the individual chambers 8 are delimited outwardly by wall sections 8 a, which together form an outer wall of the flexible liquid tank 2 on its long side 2 a and are jointly covered by the protective cover 10.
- the connecting elements 6 are secured with its edge portion 6a approximately at right angles to the inside of the outer wall formed by the wall sections 8a.
- the attachment may be realized by welding, gluing or otherwise.
- FIG. 3 shows a modified arrangement in which each individual chamber 8 is surrounded or delimited by its own shell 12 ,
- the outer portions 12a of the shell 12 together form the outer wall of the flexible liquid tank 2, which is shown in Figure 3 on the long side 2a.
- two adjacent chambers are separated by a single wall formed by a connecting element 6, in the arrangement of Figure 3, the partition wall of the two adjacent or adjacent portions 12b of the sheaths 12 of each adjacent chambers 8 formed.
- the two adjacent or adjacent portions 12b of the sheaths 12 perform the function of the sheaths 12, the adjoining or adjacent portions 12b, for example, by welding or gluing, should be attached to each other, whereby the rest of the previously described stabilization function with reference to the connecting elements 6 still is improved.
- connecting element 6 which is fixed to at least one of the two adjoining or adjacent sections 12b of the sheaths 12.
- FIG. 1 and 2 the connecting elements 6 form wall elements in the manner of transverse bulkheads, it is sufficient in the arrangement of Figure 4, to provide the connecting element as a strip or tab.
- the connecting elements 6 may be formed in the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2 as a strip or tab, which then, however, the chambers 8 are no longer closed.
- FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment, which differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 1 in that there the connecting elements, which are likewise designed as wall elements, are not arranged vertically, but in the longitudinal direction and essentially in a horizontal plane.
- the cavity of the flexible liquid tank 2 is no longer divided in the horizontal direction or in the longitudinal direction, but in the vertical direction in the individual chambers 8, which are thus not adjacent to each other, but one above the other.
- the forces occurring in the longitudinal direction according to arrow X are not responsible for a deflection of the connecting elements 6, since they extend in a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction. Nevertheless, however, the connecting elements 6 are subjected to an at least small deflection, which is directed up or down here due to liquid flow.
- connecting elements 6 assume the function of cross connections or transverse anchors in the same way as in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, in order to prevent buckling of the outer surface. walls, in particular to prevent the long sides 2a, but to keep the outer walls at least approximately in their position. Otherwise, what has been said for the embodiment of FIG. 1 also applies in the same way to the embodiment of FIG. 5.
- FIGS. 1 and 5 show an arrangement of the chambers passing through the entire width corresponding to the width of the narrow side 2b, which thus extend from the outer wall on one long side 2a to the outer wall on the other long side 2a and thus only on
- Such an arrangement is shown by way of example in FIG.
- the chambers 8 are each surrounded or delimited by their own shell 12, whose outer sections 12a together form a corresponding outer wall of the flexible liquid tank, according to FIG the long sides 2a, form.
- adjacent or adjacent portions 12b each of two adjacent shells 12 take over in a similar manner as in the arrangement of Figure 3, the function of the connecting elements shown in Figures 1 and 2 6.
- these are adjacent or adjacent portions 12 b of the casings 12 fixed together.
- the same also applies to the inner and longitudinally extending, adjoining or adjacent sections 12c of two adjacent sheaths 12.
- the chambers 8 communicate with each other.
- the two adjacent chambers 8 separating partition, which in the embodiments according to Figures 1 and 2 and 5 of a substantially flat connecting element 6, in the embodiments according to Figures 3 and 6 of the two adjacent or adjacent portions 12b of the sheaths 12 of the respectively adjacent chambers 8 and in the embodiment of Figure 4 by a combination of a substantially planar connecting element 6 and this enclosing between adjacent portions 12b of the sheaths 12 of each adjacent chambers 8 is formed, at least one passage formed by the two adjacent chambers 8 communicate with each other.
- the passage is shown schematically and designated by the reference numeral "18.”
- a plurality of passages may also be formed in a partition wall. "It is also conceivable to combine only some of the chambers 8 into a group of mutually communicating chambers, so that only the In this way, only a few chambers can communicate with each other while others do not.
- the passages 18 are provided with a preferably closable and / or semipermeable valve.
- door-like storage flaps and devices in which the passage rate can be regulated as a function of the fluid pressure, the flow rate, the viscosity, etc. can also be used.
- the passages 18 should be dimensioned so that the replacement amount due to the liquid movement between the chambers 8 is not too large to keep the mass forces generated by the surge motion in limits.
- a possibility for filling the flexible fluid tank 2 shown there is not shown in the figures. If the chambers 8 communicate with each other, a filling device or opening is sufficient.
- the flexible liquid tank 2 Before the flexible liquid tank 2 is filled, it must be introduced into the container 4. The arrangement of the flexible liquid tank 8 in the container 4 thus takes place in the empty state. Only after the flexible liquid tank 2 has been introduced into the container 4, he receives by filling with a liquid its cuboid shape and lays down with its outer walls on the inner sides of the container 4, so that it takes on the task of a liquid-tight inner lining.
- the flexible liquid tank 2 is made of a conformable, flexible material, which is usually a sheet material. This material must be liquid-tight to prevent leakage, and also be such that the quality of the liquid transported goods does not suffer, which is particularly important for liquid foods of great importance. Usually, the flexible liquid tank 2 is removed after a single use and emptying from the container 4 and then disposed of, thereby eliminating a complex cleaning of the container.
