Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combination drum comprising an outer drum and an inner drum accommodated in the outer drum.
  • the body of the outer barrel is formed from a first and a second Fassteil, wherein the first Fassteil has a first connection portion and the second Fassteil a complementary to the first connection region formed second connection region. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such combination kegs.
  • combination kegs consist of an outer drum made of sheet steel and an inner drum made of plastic.
  • the inner drums can not be made of steel, as combination drums are often used to transport and store aggressive chemicals and steel is not resistant enough to such aggressive chemicals.
  • combination drums are also used for chemicals with a low vapor pressure. If barrels were used for this purpose from only one container, they would be deformed on cooling of the chemicals due to the decreasing vapor pressure and thus resulting negative pressure. This has the consequence that the barrels, if they are stacked, for example, can fall down or can not be handled. Furthermore, such simple barrels can implode in this case in the empty state.
  • the use of combination drums has the advantage that at least the outer container, ie the outer drum, does not deform and thus the shape remains stable.
  • combination kegs can be made from a metal outer keg and a plastic barrel are not used or only at the cost of certain disadvantages.
  • Combination kegs in order to be approved for the transport and storage of dangerous goods, must comply with UN directives, i. There are numerous extensive approval tests must be passed.
  • the combination drum consists of an outer drum and an inner drum accommodated in the outer drum, wherein the body of the outer drum is formed by a first and a second drum part, which are connected to one another by way of two complementary connection areas.
  • first and the second Fassteil are firmly connected.
  • Both the inner and the outer barrel are made of a plastic.
  • the combination drum is constructed entirely of plastic.
  • the combination drum can also be used in areas where Metallic materials are undesirable. Nevertheless, the desired security is achieved and the UN guidelines can be met.
  • the use of plastic has the advantage that the barrel is much lighter and thus easier to handle.
  • first and the second Fasteils are welded together at the connection area. This ensures that a secure attachment of the two parts of the outer barrel is achieved after the introduction of the inner barrel and yet an economical production is possible.
  • a welding method for joining the two parts it is possible to achieve that the geometry of the outer barrel, in particular the outer geometry, is not influenced and thus that for the fulfillment of security inspection requirements, e.g. Internal pressure test, cold drop test, established requirements are met.
  • security inspection requirements e.g. Internal pressure test, cold drop test, established requirements are met.
  • the combination drum in its outer shape compared to standard plastic drums does not have to be changed and thus its behavior is not affected in the individual test steps.
  • the weld is in particular designed such that it does not change the outer contour of the outer barrel, so that always the same barrel shape can be guaranteed.
  • the use of welding methods makes it possible for the attachment of the two barrel parts of the outer barrel to be reproducible and thus to ensure that the desired properties are achieved.
  • the welding is carried out in particular via a fusion welding process, in which preferably a melting mirror is used for connecting the barrel parts.
  • first and the second connection region are conical, so that their connection takes place via an inner surface which does not influence the geometry of the drum.
  • the largest possible and thus safer connection area can be achieved via the conical forming.
  • the inner barrel and the outer barrel are preferably each made in a blow molding process, so that a simple, safe and yet accurate production is possible.
  • the first and second Fas part of the outer barrel are made of the same plastic, so that it is ensured during welding that these plastics optimally connect with each other.
  • the inner drum can be made of the same plastic.
  • the inner and outer drum can be made of different plastics, in particular, the inner drum can be adapted to the male chemicals.
  • the first Fassteil forms the bottom and the side wall of the outer barrel
  • the second Fassteil the outer barrel forms the lid of the outer barrel.
  • the first Fas part also form the lid and the side wall and the second Fassteil exclusively the ground. This ensures that the connection point is automatically arranged in the already provided conical areas at the ends of the barrel.
  • the inner contour of the outer barrel and the outer contour of the inner barrel are in particular matched to one another and formed substantially the same, so that the inner barrel fits optimally on the outer barrel and, if possible, can not slip. Furthermore, this makes optimum use of the available volume.
  • the drum lid of the outer drum is designed in such a way that it has a channel and if a drain opening is provided from which liquid collecting in the drain can drain.
  • This drain opening is designed such that it passes through the welded area, that is to say through the two connection areas.
  • the combination drum has at least one ventilation valve, which is preferably arranged in the region of the lid and extends through the outer drum.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing a combination keg, in which an inner drum is made of plastic. Further, a first Fas portion of an outer barrel and a second Fassteil the outer barrel is made of a plastic, wherein the first Fas part is made such that it is made a first connection portion and the second Fassteil such that it has a second connection region to the first connection region complementary.
  • the inner drum is inserted through an opening of the first barrel part in this. Subsequently, the first opening of the first barrel portion is closed with the second Fassteil, wherein the second Fassteil this is placed accordingly and the two Faded are firmly connected to each other in the connecting areas.
  • the two barrel parts of the outer barrel are in particular welded together, which has the advantage that a simple economic method for connecting the two barrel parts is achieved, but still a reproducible secure connection between the two barrel parts takes place.
  • a fusion welding process is used to weld the two structural parts, which can be carried out in particular with the aid of a welding mirror.
  • This has the advantage that the welding process can be carried out very accurately and reproducibly and in particular is not influenced by the connection of the two parts, not the outer shape of the outer barrel. This ensures that the form required for handling and compliance with security policies is maintained.
  • the welding mirror is first arranged at the connecting region of the first barrel part.
  • the inner drum is introduced into the first barrel portion of the outer barrel only when the melting time of the melting mirror has passed, that is, when the melting point of the melting pot has passed. when the melting mirror has already melted in the connecting region, the material of the first barrel portion. Subsequently, the second Fassteil is placed.
  • the inner barrel may first be inserted into the first barrel portion and then commenced the welding process, i. that only then the melting mirror is placed on the first connection area and is started with the melting of the material.
  • the melting takes place simultaneously with the aid of the melting mirror and the insertion of the inner barrel into the first Fas portion of the outer barrel. As a result, a particularly fast manufacturing process is achieved.
  • the inner barrel and the outer barrel are each produced by the blow molding process.
  • the first and second barrel portions of the outer barrel are combined in a single operation of a blow molding process from a melt tube as a workpiece made, which is then separated into the two parts.
  • the workpiece is first formed such that the second fitting part is disposed "upside down", ie, rotated by 180 °, as compared with the position where it is finally welded to the first fitting part.
  • the second Fassteil is rotated by 180 ° and welded in its intended orientation to the first Fassteil.
  • first and / or second gripping part are made of an electrically conductive plastic.
  • the entire first and / or second Fassteil can be made of an electrically conductive plastic.
  • only an electrically conductive coating can also be provided here.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a combination drum 10 is shown.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the combination keg after FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 and 4 in each case a section of this sectional view FIG. 2 ,
  • the combination drum 10 which is often also referred to as a combined drum, comprises an inner drum 12, which is also referred to as an inliner, and an outer drum 14.
  • the inner drum 12 is in this case received in the outer drum 14, wherein the shapes of the inner drum 12 and the outer drum 14 are coordinated.
  • the outer contour of the inner barrel 12 is substantially identical to the inner contour of the outer barrel 14, so that they fit optimally into one another and no space is given away.
  • the outer surface 16 of the outer barrel and / or the inner surface 18 of the inner barrel can in particular be made of an electrically conductive plastic.
  • the entire outer barrel 14 can be made of an electrically conductive plastic.
  • Both the inner barrel 12 and the outer barrel 14 are in particular made of plastic in a blow molding process, so that a simple inexpensive and yet precise production is possible.
  • the outer barrel 14 consists of a first Fassteil 20, in which in the FIGS. 1 to 7 illustrated first embodiment forms the bottom or the side wall of the barrel, and a second Fassteil 22, which forms the lid of the outer barrel 14 in the first embodiment.
  • a ventilation valve 24 and filling openings 26, 28 are provided, which pass through the outer drum 14 therethrough.
  • the lid 22 is preferably formed such that a groove 30 is formed in it.
  • a drain opening 32 is provided, which passes through both the first Fassteil 20 and the second Fassteil 22, so the lid. About this drain opening 32 can drain liquid collected in the channel 30.
