Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plastic pallet for receiving flexible bulk containers.
  • a plastic pallet for receiving flexible bulk containers.
  • Such a pallet comprises at least a pair of tunnel-shaped receptacles for the prongs of the fork of a forklift, the tunnel-shaped receptacles connecting two opposite sides of the plastic pallet.
  • Flexible bulk containers also known as FIBCs ( Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers ) - are used for the transport and storage of loose goods.
  • loose goods can be found in many areas, in the building materials include, for example, sand, cement or earth to flour in the food sector, cereal grains, etc., and in the processing industry, for example, plastic granules.
  • the flexible bulk containers can be made of a variety of materials and are characterized by the fact that they are flexible containers, the container so have no rigid shape as boxes or boxes, but resilient container boundaries or walls. It is more or less baggy containers in various forms, with or without openings for emptying or filling. The size of the containers and the material used for them is chosen depending on the material to be filled.
  • the widespread wooden pallets which include the so-called europallets, are only partially suitable.
  • the flexible bulk material containers can be damaged by the rough wooden surface, protruding wood splinters etc.
  • bulk goods containers with a high flexibility of the side walls in the filled state adapt to the shape of the pallet, ie, due to its own weight, the bulk goods container bulges downwards between the slats of the wooden pallet or hangs through, which, when entering with a forklift in the worst case may cause the bulk material container to be damaged and torn open.
  • a suitable for the transport of flexible bulk containers range is, for example, in the US 2013/0136573 A1 described and offered by the company BHA - Bulk Handling Australia .
  • the in the US 2013/0136573 A1 described pallet is made of plastic by injection molding. Compared to wood, plastic has the advantage that it can be cast or sprayed in almost any shape, the surfaces are also smoother, which is advantageous for the transport of flexible bulk containers.
  • the pallet has on its underside tunnel-shaped receptacles which connect two opposite sides of the plastic pallet - plastic pallets for flexible bulk containers generally have a square shape which defines the bearing surface, so that the tunnel-shaped receptacles thus two parallel sides of such a square, the Opposite each other, connect.
  • the pallet shows four tunnel-shaped receptacles, which are arranged in pairs in a crosswise direction.
  • each side of the square-shaped pallet is connected to the opposite side by tunnel-shaped receptacles.
  • These tunnel-shaped openings are designed so that the forks of the fork of a forklift can drive into these openings and receive the pallet.
  • elevations are formed, which stiffen the structure of the pallet. If only one tunnel pair is used, the elevations run transversely to the tunnel direction from the sides of the pallet to the other side.
  • the elevations each connect two adjoining tunnel-shaped receptacles, they then run in such a way that they enclose a right angle in the central area.
  • the carrier system can be connected to the bulk container in various ways, also a non-separable version of bulk container and carrier system will be described.
  • the carrier system consists of a plate-shaped bottom area with a square base area on which the container is or can be arranged. Below the plate-shaped bottom region, half-tubular receptacles for the tines of a forklift truck are arranged. These recordings are preferably made of cardboard, but can also be made of plastic.
  • the half-tube-shaped receptacles are completely closed to the floor, so that these pallets are not nestable, their stacking in the empty state so compared to nestable pallets claimed significantly more space.
  • only two shots can be attached to the bottom or top of the base surface so that the pallet can not be picked up from all sides by a forklift truck.
  • the base plate may also have a resealable flap.
  • a plastic pallet which has tunnel-shaped receptacles for the tines of the fork of a forklift.
  • the tunnel floor is formed by bottom ribs and the tunnel vault by vault ribs.
  • Floor and vault ribs are each spaced apart by air gaps.
  • the ribs of the bottom are offset relative to those of the arch offset from each other, so that a bottom rib is below an air gap of the arch, and vice versa.
  • the bottom ribs are plate-shaped and significantly more extended in the retraction of the forklift as the vault ribs.
  • the pallet comprises four tunnel-shaped receptacles, which are arranged crosswise, wherein the tunnel ribs are arranged only at the edge in two of the receptacles.
  • the crossing region is formed by a covering this base plate, over which no vault ribs are arranged.
  • US 4 145 974 A is a similar range in which the vault ribs are formed arcuate described. However, this is not made of plastic, but of a thin wooden core, which is coated with paper. Also in the EP 0 521 478 A1 and the GB 2 103 573 A similar pallets are described, which are also not made of plastic.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop a plastic pallet of the type described above such that the stability of the pallet and the protection stored on the pallet, flexible bulk goods container is increased, wherein in a stack of loaded pallets a bulk material container which is placed on the plastic pallet, should be protected from damage by a forklift.
  • each tunnel-shaped receptacle on a tunnel floor which is formed from spaced apart by bottom air gaps bottom ribs.
  • each tunnel-shaped receptacle has a tunnel arch formed of vault ribs spaced from one another by vault air gaps.
  • bottom ribs and ribs are each offset and dimensioned so that a bottom rib is located below a vault air gap and a rib above a bottom gap.
  • no vault rib is arranged, and in the region which is covered by a vault rib, no bottom rib is arranged, if the reference direction is the normal of a base plate which corresponds to the bearing surface for the bulk material container , used.
  • the plastic pallet comprises four tunnel-shaped receptacles, which are arranged in pairs in a crosswise manner, and the crossing region of each two tunnel-shaped receptacles comprises a base plate covering the crossing area, into which at least one intersection air gap is introduced, wherein above the at least an intersection air gap is arranged a crossing vault rib.
  • the intersection air gap with tunnel longitudinal axes of the tunnel vault crossing there can each include an equal angle, ie 45 °.
  • the tunnel side walls can also be continued in the intersection area they will reinforce the structure, and in particular the crossing vault ribs, where no forklift tines enter.
  • vault ribs and bottom ribs can be designed so that they cover the opposite air gaps with almost exact fit or with a slight underfitting, so that maximum stability is ensured.
  • the vault ribs narrower than the bottom air gaps and the bottom ribs narrower than the vault air gaps.
  • the width of the bottom ribs is in no case greater than the width of a vaulted air gap arranged above it, and the width of a vault rib is in no case greater than the width of a bottom air gap arranged underneath, since otherwise several similar plastic pallets of this type would not be nestable.
  • the vault ribs are preferably formed arcuate, since the absence of edges, the risk of damage to be transported flexible bulk goods container is reduced.
  • Bottom ribs and vault ribs each have two ends with which they are preferably connected to tunnel sidewalls, i. each end is connected to a tunnel side wall and in the tunnel-shaped receptacle the tunnel side walls face each other transversely to the tunnel longitudinal direction.
  • the - preferably vertical to the base plate or support surface trained - tunnel side walls increase the stability of the pallet structure on the one hand, but they also serve as a guide for the tines of the fork of the forklift and prevent them from getting caught in the air gaps, if the forklift is not exactly straight enters the tunnel-shaped recordings.
  • Each plastic pallet comprises four tunnel-shaped receptacles, which are arranged crosswise in pairs. This increases flexibility in use, since the plastic pallet, which is generally formed with a square base plate, can now be received by all four sides of a forklift.
  • the tunnel-shaped receptacles are arranged crosswise in pairs, ie a first pair of tunnel-shaped receptacles is aligned parallel to each other and connects two parallel sides of the plastic pallet, the second pair is arranged at right angles to the first pair and connects the other two, parallel to each other Pages of the plastic pallet.
  • a first, not belonging to the invention possibility is to form the crossing region of each two tunnel-shaped recordings by a cross-section covering the bottom plate, over which no vault ribs are arranged.
  • Another possibility which is likewise not part of the invention, is to form the crossing area through the arching area covering the crossing area, under which no base plate is arranged.
  • Both the vault ribs and the crossing vault ribs may have thickenings in the area below the tunnel side walls, which further increases the stability of the structure.
  • the obliquely arranged crossing vault ribs also prevents the flexible bulk material container from expanding into the channel, that is to say from the tunnel area which serves to guide the tine of the fork of a forklift, and possibly from being damaged by the tine.
  • the area between the tunnel-shaped receptacles can be permanently closed, for example with a grid-like structure, so that the pallet can be manufactured in one piece.
  • Such an embodiment is advantageous, for example, if smaller bulk goods containers - such as cement bags - are to be transported on the pallet.
  • Such big bags may, for example, have closable openings and be stored on the pallet so that this opening points downwards. The closure of the big bag can then be released through the opening, so that the bulk goods container, standing on the pallet, can be emptied.
  • the opening is closed with a reversibly removable closure, so it is made in two parts.
  • a reversibly removable closure so it is made in two parts. In this way it is possible to transport both bulk containers such as big bags with openings pointing downwards as well as smaller bulk containers or big bags without downward pointing Openings, as the closure prevents the flexible bulk containers from being dragged to the floor and being damaged.
  • the closure may be connected via a clip connection to the edges of the opening, which may be of any shape, provided it is confined to the area of the at least two tunnel-shaped receptacles.
  • the closure can also be designed as a hinged flap and be connected via a hinge at the edge of the opening with the plastic pallet, said hinge can also be designed so that the flap can be completely removed from the plastic pallet.
  • the latter variant can be connected to a clip connection on the opposite side of the hinge to the hinge, magnetic closures, closures with hooks and eyes or similar. are conceivable variants, but this requires the use of foreign materials, whereas a pure clip connection can be integrated into the molds for the pallet and the closure.
  • the closure can also be placed loosely from above on the opening when bulk containers are transported without openings.
  • the vault ribs towards the inside of the tunnel preferably flat, i. horizontal or parallel to the base plate extending - formed pads for the tines of a forklift.
  • the requirements are thus designed so that they come to rest during the insertion of a forklift in the tunnel-shaped shots and the subsequent lifting of the pallet - preferably flat - on the also flat tops of the tines of the fork of the forklift, whereby selective loads of the ribs are avoided and the forces that are exerted by the pressure of the loaded pallet on the vault ribs or constraints and the back pressure of the tines in this area are best distributed.
  • the vault ribs may be configured as hollow ribs open to the inside of the tunnel, wherein stiffening elements are formed in the hollow ribs, and wherein at least a part of the stiffening elements form a flat, i. horizontally extending underside - this may be, for example, an edge of a stiffening element - as a support for the tines of the fork of a forklift.
  • the vault ribs can also be designed in a closed form with flat supports.
  • a facet serving as a drive-in aid for a fork-lift truck is formed on the outer sides of such ribs, which form an end opening of a tunnel-shaped receptacle, ie the corresponding area is chamfered and the tunnel opening widened in this area to the outside or tapers inwards. This prevents damage to the plastic pallet by careless picking up by a forklift.
  • Fig. 1 a is a plastic pallet 1 for receiving flexible bulk containers in the plan view shown from above.
  • Fig. 1b the same pallet is shown in a perspective view obliquely from above.
  • the plastic pallet 1 includes tunnel-shaped receptacles for the prongs of the fork of a forklift, the tunnel-shaped receptacles connecting two opposing sides 2 of the plastic pallet 1.
  • the plastic pallet 1 comprises four tunnel-shaped receptacles which are arranged in pairs in a crosswise arrangement. Thus, all four sides 2 are connected by two tunnel-shaped receptacles, so that a forklift from each of the sides 2 can enter into the tunnel-shaped receptacles.
  • the tunnel-shaped receptacles themselves are arranged on a base plate 3, which forms the bottom of the plastic pallet, is generally aligned horizontally and basically a square shape - for example, according to the shape of the bulk material container to be transported - has.
  • the base plate 3 is flattened by means of chamfers 4 in the areas in which each two sides 2 collide. In this way damage to bulk containers by sharp corners can be prevented when the loaded pallets are stacked and / or transported.
  • Each tunnel-shaped receptacle has a tunnel bottom, which is formed from bottom ribs 6 spaced from one another by bottom air gaps 5. Since four tunnel-shaped receptacles are arranged crosswise in pairs, and the crossing areas, which will be discussed below, in the present case occupy a relatively large space compared to the dimensions of the plastic pallet 1, each tunnel-shaped receptacle here has only one bottom rib 6. In plastic pallets 1 with larger side dimensions more than one bottom rib 6 are formed on the pallet, as well as in a design with narrower ribs.
  • the bottom air gaps 5, by which the bottom ribs 6 are spaced apart from each other and in the present example, the bottom rib 6 is spaced from the crossing regions of the tunnel-shaped receptacles are in Fig. 2 to recognize, here shows Fig. 2a a plan view of the bottom of the plastic pallet Fig. 1 and Fig. 2b a perspective view of the underside of the plastic pallet 1 from Fig.1 ,
  • Each of the tunnel-shaped receptacles also has a tunnel arch, which is formed from vault ribs 8 spaced from each other by vault air gaps 7.
  • the vault ribs 8 are formed here arcuate. However, they may also be rectangular or polygonal shaped, but an arcuate configuration offers the advantage of dispensing with edges that could potentially damage or overburden a flexible bulk material container stored on the pallet. Rounded surfaces do not provide such points of attack.
  • a particular feature of the plastic pallet 1 is that in each of the tunnel-shaped receptacles bottom ribs 6 and ribs 8 are arranged and dimensioned offset from one another such that a bottom rib 6 is arranged in each case below a vault air gap 7 and a rib 8 each above a bottom air gap 5.
  • the ribs can each be slightly narrower than the air gaps, over which or under which they are arranged, are executed, this lightweight Unterpassung allows better stackability.
  • the plastic pallets 1 are nestable by the particular arrangement of the ribs and air gaps, although the tunnel-shaped receptacles have a bottom structure which improves the stackability of loaded pallets.
  • the crossing region of two tunnel-shaped receptacles comprises a base plate 9 covering the intersection area, into which at least one intersection air gap 10 is introduced, wherein a crossing vault rib 11 is arranged above the at least one intersection air gap 10.
  • the intersection air gap can be made slightly larger than the width of the crossing vault rib 11, which facilitates the stacking of the pallets.
  • the intersection air gap 10 closes and thus also the crossing vault rib 11 each with the two longitudinal axes of the crossing there tunnel vault the same angle. Since the tunnel vault intersect at a right angle with a square-shaped pallet, the intersection air gap 10 with the longitudinal axes therefore each encloses an angle of 45 °.
  • an opening 12 for emptying a flexible bulk material container is arranged between the tunnel-shaped receptacles.
  • the opening is closed by a reversibly removable closure 13. This can be connected via a clip connection on several sides of the opening 12 or via a hinge with the remaining plastic pallet 1, in the latter case, the closure does not have to be designed removable, but, for example, hinged. On the opposite side of the hinge, for example, again a clip connection or a snap hook can be formed.
  • the vault ribs 8 also flat, horizontally or parallel to the base plate 3 extending supports 14 are formed for the tines of the fork of a forklift towards the inside of the tunnel. This increases the stability during transport of the loaded pallet, since the tines are then in contact not only at their edges with the ribs 8, but over a larger, flat area, so that the forces are distributed more evenly and the load on the plastic pallet 1 is reduced .
  • the vault ribs 8 may be configured as hollow ribs open to the inside of the tunnel, in which stiffening elements 15 are formed, with at least a portion of the stiffening elements forming a flat, e.g. horizontally extending underside - here, for example, the lower edges of the stiffening elements - to rest on the tines of the fork of a forklift.
  • the bottom ribs 6 and the vault ribs 8 also each have ends with which they are connected to tunnel side walls 17. This increases on the one hand the stability of the construction, on the other hand, the tunnel side walls 17 also serve as a guide for the tines of the fork of the forklift and also prevent the flexible bulk container in the tunnel-shaped receptacle spreads by compensating movements of the bulk material in the container where it passes through the Tines of the forklift could be charged.
  • the ribs 8 and the crossing vault ribs 11 set on the base plate 3 are also thickened, which further increases the stability of the construction.
