Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinged container, the side walls are folded outwards in a flat unfolded state.
  • Such a container is known for example from US 5,746,342.
  • a hinged container for bottles the sides of which are folded in a first state from the ground to the outside and are brought by setting the side walls by means of hinges along the bottom edges in a usable final state.
  • latches are attached, which allow attachment of the right angles to each other side walls.
  • the latches are made of resilient elements for locking the side walls in their upright position.
  • the sidewalls each have flat members at their lower edges which prevent inward flaps of the sidewalls. In the region of the bottom of the container projections and on the inside of which recesses are arranged on the outside, which engage in a stack of unfolded containers in one another.
  • Storage and transport containers are preferably installed in a variety of rows and stacking levels. Recently, such containers are increasingly being moved only by robots. In such an installation eliminates the use of forklifts or even manual work, which also the space for access to individual stacks of containers is no longer necessary.
  • the stacks of containers can therefore be stacked and lined up in completely filled volumes become. In order to guarantee the stability of such stacks as well as to ensure a correct gripping and moving and re-positioning of containers by robots, an accurate and correctly aligned stacking of such containers is necessary.
  • the invention is a hinged container disclosed with a bottom and four movably connected to the bottom side walls, which can be stacked and transported in a flat, outwardly unfolded state and is folded before use as a container by the side walls pivoted from the outside inwards and placed in a vertical position and locked together.
  • the side walls each have an outer and inner surface and two lateral edges and an upper edge and lower edge, wherein the outer surfaces and inner surfaces of the side walls come to stand in their vertical final state on the outside or in the interior of the container and the upper edge along the open end of the container runs.
  • the container has hinges at the lower edges of the side walls, by means of which the side walls can be folded upwards from a horizontal position and from a floor-level alignment and brought into a vertical position.
  • the lateral end edges have locking elements for fastening the folded-up, mutually perpendicular side walls.
  • the container has, at the lateral edges of at least two opposite side walls, an edge projecting perpendicularly from the inner surface of the side wall, one or more protruding locking elements being arranged on this edge.
  • the container has one or more ribs extending perpendicularly from the protruding edge of the side wall and protruding perpendicularly from the outer surface or from the inner and outer surfaces of the side wall.
  • the one or more ribs of the first container adjacent to the locking element between two locking devices of the second container, so that the two containers are locked in position and relative to each other can not slip.
  • the ribs thus allow a correct, vertical stacking of multiple containers that come to lie exactly aligned with each other.
  • the ribs abut the protruding edge, which prevents them from slipping in the direction parallel to the upper edge of the side wall.
  • the ribs abut the locking elements, which prevents slippage in the transverse direction or the direction parallel to the protruding edge or the lateral edge of the side wall.
  • the container walls are better protected during transport against deformation and other stresses, so that when folding the container for use as a finished container, the side walls are as straight as possible and the folding and locking can be performed as perfectly as possible.
  • the adjusted, vertical orientation of the stack of flat containers also allows the reliable correct gripping of containers by means of a robot.
  • the folding and locking is also possible due to the integrity of the side walls by means of a robot.
  • the end edge of the side walls are each step-shaped in that the edge has a cantilever arm overhanging the inner surface of the side wall and projecting perpendicularly from the end of the cantilever arm.
  • the at least one locking element is arranged on the protruding edge of the side wall and the at least one rib on the outer surface of the side wall and thus on that surface which faces away from the surface of the side wall with the locking element. It thus extends away from the locking element.
  • the rib is particular in a region adjacent to a locking element or in the region between two locking elements.
  • locking elements are disposed on the protruding edge and extend parallel to the inner surface of the side wall, the one or more ribs being disposed on the opposite outer surface of the side wall and having a length and width equal to or approximately equal to the length and width directions. Have the extent of a locking element.
  • one or more ribs are arranged on the protruding edge and on the inner surface of the side wall, and one or more ribs are arranged on the outer surface.
  • the ribs on the two surfaces of the side wall are close to each other but offset from one another. They are expediently arranged so close to each other, so that in a stacking the ribs of two containers easily interlock, the range of motion or the possible slippage of the container is minimized relative to each other as possible.
  • the ribs on the outer surface of the side wall are tapered towards the end edge of the side wall. They are for example made beveled or have a rounded or square recess.
  • the ribs on the inner surface engage between the ribs on the outer surface, so that slippage in the direction parallel to the edge of the side wall is impossible.
  • the hinges are designed for pivoting the side walls of the container with a pivoting area for setting the side walls in a position of up to 10 ° beyond the vertical position into the interior of the container.
  • This also allows a production of the container made of solid, rigid plastic and the installation of the container by hand or by means of a robot.
  • the side walls can swing beyond the vertical position, a hooking and locking of the right-angled and fixed side walls is made possible in their rigid form.
  • the containers can also be picked up by a robot, collapsed and locked, and thus brought into the usable final state.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a container ready for use according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of two outwardly unfolded containers according to the invention, which are stacked on each other.
  • Fig. 3a shows two outwardly opened containers which are stacked on each other and in particular a detail view from above of the side wall of the upper container with the inventive ribs in the region of the locking elements.
  • Fig. 3b shows a closer view of the ribs from above the upper container of Fig. 3a.
  • FIG. 3c shows a perspective view of the ribs on the one side wall from below according to the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 3b.
  • Fig. 3d shows a sectional view of the outwardly folded container according to B-B in Figure 3b and another identical container stacked thereon and in particular the meshing of the ribs of the two stacked containers.
  • FIG. 4a shows the container according to the invention during the folding up of the container Sidewalls in a position beyond the vertical.
  • FIG. 4b shows a section according to C-C in FIG. 4a, in particular of the hinge area in the inclined position of FIG. 4a.
  • the same reference numerals have been used for the same elements and first explanations apply to all figures, unless expressly stated otherwise.
  • FIG. 1 shows the finished, ready-to-use container 1 according to the invention with a bottom 2 and folded-up side walls 3 and 2, of which the walls 3 are referred to herein as short side walls and the walls 4 as long side walls, walls of the same length being quite possible.
  • the container according to the invention can be folded out into the mold as shown in FIG. 2, wherein all side walls are folded outwards and form a surface with the bottom.
  • this form can be as many containers 1 stack, as shown here with two containers, with side walls 4 on side walls 4 ' and side walls 3 and side walls 3 ' are.
  • the short side walls 4 of the container 1 have projecting, step-shaped end edges 5 projecting from the inner surface 6 of the side wall 4, respectively, in the illustrated embodiment extending first from the side wall 4 in the manner of an overhanging one Kragarms 5a and then extend perpendicularly from the inner surface 6 and the end of the cantilever 5a.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient pliable (1) qui comporte un fond (2) et quatre parois latérales (3, 4), les parois latérales (4) étant pourvues de bords terminaux comportant des éléments de verrouillage et d'une ou de plusieurs nervures s'étendant depuis le bord terminal le long de la face intérieure et/ou de la face extérieure. Dans le cas d'une disposition empilée, les nervures viennent s'engager entre les éléments de verrouillage et/ou entre d'autres nervures, faisant en sorte que les récipients empilés ne puissent se décaler intempestivement dans la direction longitudinale. Les bords terminaux sont conçus sous une forme étagée et présentent un bord saillant, pour ainsi empêcher un décalage intempestif également dans la direction transversale. L'invention a pour effet de réduire la déformation des récipients lors du transport et de faciliter leur pliage. L'invention permet de réaliser l'empilement et le pliage au moyen de robots.
