Definitions

  • Container made of thermoplastic material
  • the present invention relates to a container made of thermoplastic material for the storage and transport of goods, with a whole or partial area double-walled bottom and four integral with the ground, wholly or partially double-walled side walls, spaced from the bottom of this by ribs a bottom plate is welded, which has a circumferential step-shaped stacking edge, whose bottom-parallel part is welded to the lower ends of the side walls and closes within the double-walled side walls present cavities downwards.
  • the invention relates to a method for producing a corresponding container.
  • a container of the type mentioned and a method for its preparation are made DE 43 12 842 C2 known.
  • the bottom plate with its peripheral stack edge is or is welded here in a single welding plane with the rest of the container.
  • the bottom plate and the rest of the container are designed so that meet in the welding plane, the lower ends of the double-walled side walls, the ribs and rib-like approaches to each other, so always line-shaped elements meet on one side on also linear elements on the other side.
  • This design is required for the mirror welding obviously used here as a welding process.
  • the object is to provide a container of the type mentioned above and a method for its production, which avoid the disadvantages mentioned above and in particular with a simpler shape of the parts to be welded together of the container a simpler and faster and thus less expensive Allow manufacturing.
  • the container according to the invention is advantageously designed at its two parts to be welded together so that for the weld a faster and more energy-efficient friction welding can be used with respect to the mirror welding. It is ensured by the design of the container that always meets a line-shaped container area on the one hand to a flat container area on the other hand in all welding levels. In this way, there is always a sufficiently large contact and movement surface for the friction welding process available.
  • the design of the parts of the container to be joined together is made easier, because always an area on one side of each welding plane is simply flat only without here rib-like projections or the like line-shaped elements are required to coincide with line-shaped elements on the other side have to be. This, and the lower energy consumption of the friction welding process, makes the container less expensive to produce, with even improvements in the quality and durability of the welded joints.
  • the bottom and the bottom plate are in at least a first welding plane and the lower ends of the side walls and the bottom parallel part of Stacking edge of the bottom plate friction welded together in at least one parallel to the first welding plane, offset in height second welding plane.
  • a restriction to a single welding level is eliminated here advantageous.
  • the container has two or more welding levels, which can be selected appropriately in terms of a favorable production.
  • the invention proposes that the ribs which are spaced from each other from the bottom and the bottom plate are integrally formed with the bottom and that the first welding plane lies at the level of the free lower end of the ribs and the rib-free upper side of the bottom plate facing the ribs.
  • the bottom plate has a particularly simple shape because it has no ribs.
  • Another contribution to a particularly high stability and load capacity of the container is achieved in that preferably in the interior of the double-walled side walls whose double walls are integrally connected to each other vertical webs are provided which terminate flush with the lower ends of the side walls, and that the second welding level in height the lower ends of the side walls and the webs and the upper side of the bottom-parallel part of the stack edge lies.
  • Another advantage achieved here is that the bottom-parallel part of the stack edge can here be simply smooth-surfaced and no rib-like projections or the like elements needed for the welded joint.
  • the bottom plate is executed over the entire surface and covers the entire surface of the floor or is performed circumferentially wreath-shaped and covers the bottom part of the area only peripherally circumferentially.
  • a particularly stable and underside either over its entire surface or over a peripheral peripheral surface smooth container is formed, which is easily and quietly transportable in the loaded state on roller conveyors or ball tracks.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing a container made of thermoplastic material for the storage and transport of goods, with a whole or partial area double-walled bottom and four integral with the ground or connected, wholly or partially double-walled side walls , wherein the underside of the bottom of this by spaced ribs a bottom plate is welded, which has a circumferential step-shaped stacking edge, the bottom-parallel part is welded to the lower ends of the side walls and closes within the double-walled side walls present cavities downwards.
  • the invention proposes that the ribs which separate the bottom and the bottom plate are produced completely as part of the bottom or completely as part of the bottom plate, that the bottom parallel part of the stack edge at its bottom Ends of the side walls facing top is generated free of ribs and that the bottom plate is reibversch dipt with the rest of the container.
  • a container of the type described above can be produced quickly, energy-efficiently, inexpensively and with a high quality.
  • the design of the bottom plate and the rest of the container so that a necessary for the friction welding relative freedom of movement in the direction of the welding plane is ensured to a sufficient extent.
  • the bottom plate and the rest of the container are then fixed in their desired position relative to each other until the welding region is sufficiently cooled and solidified.
  • the invention proposes that the bottom and the bottom plate in at least one first welding plane and the bottom ends of the side walls and the bottom parallel part of the stacking edge of the bottom plate are simultaneously friction-welded together in at least one height-offset second welding plane parallel to the first welding plane.
  • the friction welding takes place here advantageously in several planes simultaneously, which run parallel to each other and which can be chosen so that the simplest possible shaping of the bottom plate and the rest of the container in the region of their welding is achieved.
  • the friction welding takes place with a vibration amplitude which is equal to or greater than the thickness of the ribs and / or the lower ends of the side walls.
  • this relatively large oscillation amplitude does not cause any problems, because always a line-shaped region of one container part strikes a flat region of the other container part.
  • usually small thickness of the lower ends of the side walls and / or For example, with a thickness of the lower side wall ends or ribs of about 2 mm in friction welding, it is possible to have a vibration amplitude of about ⁇ 2 mm or more, ie, about 4 mm in total or more to use.
  • FIG. 1 shows a container 1 in a turned-up position in which an open side of the container 1 down and a bottom 2 of the container 1 facing upward, in a partially broken view.
  • longitudinal and transverse ribs 20 are made in one piece, which serve to reinforce the bottom 2.
  • the walls 3 are double-walled over part of their length and height, wherein there are arranged within the side walls 3 vertically extending, the double walls interconnecting, with these integral webs 30.
  • the container 1 comprises a bottom plate 4, which has a peripheral, stepped stacking edge 40.
  • the bottom plate 4 is connected with its the free ends 21 of the ribs 20 side facing the bottom 2 by friction welding.
  • the bottom plate 4 is also friction-welded in the region of its stacking edge 40 with the side of the bottom-parallel part 42 of the stacking edge 40 facing the bottom ends 31 of the side walls 3.
  • the container 1 Due to the double-walled design the bottom 2 with the welded bottom plate 4 and the ribs 20 disposed therebetween and through the double-walled side walls 30 with the webs 30 therein, the container 1 becomes very stable at a low weight and can also accommodate heavy loads without appreciable deformation.
  • the underside facing the viewer underside of the bottom plate 4 here forms a smooth surface over its entire surface, which ensures a trouble-free and quiet transport of the container 1, even in a loaded condition, on a roller or ball track.
  • the bottom plate 4 can also be executed in a circular shape.
  • FIG. 2 shows in container 1 FIG. 1 in a side view, wherein a left end portion of the container 1 is shown in vertical section.

  • the stacking edge 40 is welded with its smooth-surfaced top with the lower ends 31 of the side walls 3 by the same friction welding circumferentially tight. As a result, cavities 33 within the side walls 3 and cavities between the bottom 2 and bottom plate 4 are sealed.
  • FIG. 3 shows in an enlarged view the in FIG. 2 circled detail "A".
  • one of the side walls 3 can be seen, which is double-walled in its lower part.
  • In the background lies within the side wall 3 of one of the vertical webs 30, which also extend upwards beyond the double-walled region of the side wall 3 addition.
  • the bottom 2 of the container 1, the top 22 is smooth and flat.
  • the ribs 20 are made in one piece, wherein in FIG. 3 only one parallel to the plane of the drawing extending rib 20 is visible.
  • the part of the container 1 comprising the side walls 3 and the bottom 2 with the ribs 20 can be produced in one piece from a thermoplastic material in a first injection process.
