Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Innenbehälter aus Kunststoff zum Transport und zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeiten nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung einen Transport- und Lagerbehälter mit einem derartigen Innenbehälter.The invention relates to an inner container made of plastic for the transport and storage of liquids according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a transport and storage container with such an inner container.
Innenbehälter der eingangs genannten Art werden als auswechselbarer Bestandteil von Transport- und Lagerbehältern verwendet, die zum Transport und zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeiten dienen und regelmäßig als sogenannte "Umlaufbehälter" eingesetzt werden, die wiederholt gefüllt werden. Um ein möglichst großes Umsatzvolumen der in Innenbehälter verfüllten Flüssigkeiten zur erreichen, ist es wesentlich, eine möglichst vollständige Entleerung der Behälter zu gewährleisten, sodass beim nächsten Befüllungsvorgang das gesamte Behältervolumen für die Neufüllung zur Verfügung steht. Ferner kommt es auch im Interesse einer wirtschaftlichen, im Wesentlichen vollständigen Verwertung des Behälterinhalts oder zur Vermeidung aufwendiger Spül- und Reinigungsvorgänge darauf an, eine möglichst vollständige Entleerung des Behälters zu erreichen.Inner container of the type mentioned are used as interchangeable component of transport and storage containers, which serve for the transport and storage of liquids and are regularly used as so-called "circulation container", which are repeatedly filled. In order to achieve the largest possible volume of sales of liquids filled in inner container, it is essential to ensure the most complete emptying of the container so that the entire container volume is available for refilling the next filling process. Furthermore, it is also important in the interests of economical, substantially complete utilization of the contents of the container or in order to avoid costly rinsing and cleaning operations to achieve the most complete possible emptying of the container.
Insbesondere bei hochviskosen Füllgütern, die bezogen auf die Innenwände des Innenbehälters gute Benetzungseigenschaften aufweisen, kann sich eine im Wesentlichen vollständige Entleerung der bekannten Innenbehälter als sehr aufwendig und langwierig erweisen, da die Behälterform im Wesentlichen darauf ausgerichtet ist, einen Behälter mit einem maximierten Behältervolumen zur Verfügung zu stellen, der darüber hinaus in seinen Außenabmessungen bzw. seiner Ausgestaltung im Wesentlichen an den auf der Transportpalette innerhalb des Außenmantels definierten Aufnahmeraum angepasst ist.Particularly in the case of highly viscous filling goods, which have good wetting properties with respect to the inner walls of the inner container, a substantially complete emptying of the known inner containers can prove to be very complicated and lengthy, since the container shape is essentially designed to provide a container with a maximized container volume to set, which is also adapted in its outer dimensions or its configuration substantially to the receiving space defined on the transport pallet within the outer shell.
Betreffend eine möglichst vollständige Restentleerung des Innenbehälters ergeben sich besondere Probleme bei der Lagerung von thixotropen Flüssigkeiten, wie beispielsweise Lacke, deren Viskosität regelmäßig durch Aufrühren reduziert werden muss, um eine nachfolgende Entnahme der Lacke aus dem Behälter und eine anschließende Verarbeitung der Lacke, beispielsweise durch einen Sprühauftrag auf zu lackierende Flächen, zu ermöglichen. Nach einer nicht vollständigen Entleerung des Behälters steigt die Viskosität der ruhenden Flüssigkeit wieder an, so dass zur Ausführung eines weitern Lackierarbeitsganges, die in dem Innenbehälter verbliebene Restmenge des Lackes wieder aufgerührt werden muss.Concerning the most complete possible emptying of the inner container, special problems arise in the storage of thixotropic liquids, such as paints whose viscosity must be reduced regularly by stirring to subsequent removal of the coatings from the container and subsequent processing of the paints, for example by a Spray job on surfaces to be painted, to allow. After an incomplete emptying of the container, the viscosity of the quiescent liquid increases again, so that for carrying out a further painting operation, the remainder of the paint remaining in the inner container has to be stirred up again.
Ein Aufrühren einer beispielsweise als Folge sukzessiver Entnahme von Teilmengen in dem Innenbehälter verbliebenen Rest- oder Teilmenge, ist in der Praxis nicht nur bei Lacken sondern grundsätzlich bei allen Flüssigkeiten erforderlich, bei denen aufgrund der Lagerung eine Entmischung erfolgen kann, so dass beispielsweise entmischte Dispersionen durch das Aufrühren homogenisiert werden können. Eine nicht aufrührbare Restmenge, also beispielsweise ein entmischter Lack, ist unbrauchbar und muss gegebenenfalls noch aufwendig entsorgt werden.Stirring a remaining, for example, as a result of successive removal of subsets in the inner container remaining or partial amount is required in practice not only for paints but basically for all liquids in which can occur due to storage segregation, so that for example segregated dispersions the stirring can be homogenized. A non-stirrable residual amount, so for example a segregated paint, is unusable and may need to be disposed of consuming.
Zum Aufrühren werden üblicherweise durch die in der oberen Bodenwand des Innenbehälters ausgebildete Einfüllöffnung Rührwerkvorrichtungen in den Innenbehälter eingesetzt, mit denen die im Innenbehälter verbliebene Restmenge aufgerührt werden kann. Dabei ist es zum vollständigen Verbrauch des im Innenbehälter verbliebenen Lackes notwendig, die Restmenge möglichst vollständig aufrühren zu können, also die aufrührbare Restmenge zu minimieren, um entsprechend dem wirtschaftlichen Interesse des Lackverarbeiters möglicht den gesamten Behälterinhalt aufbrauchen zu können.For stirring, stirrer devices are usually inserted into the inner container by means of the filling opening formed in the upper bottom wall of the inner container, with which openings in the inner container Remaining residual amount can be stirred. It is necessary for the complete consumption of the remaining paint in the inner container, the residual amount to stir as completely as possible, so minimize the aufstaufbare residual amount to use the entire contents of the container according to the economic interest of the paint processor allows.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Innenbehälter aus Kunststoff zum Transport und zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeiten sowie einen Transport- und Lagerbehälter mit einem derartigen Innenbehälter vorzuschlagen, der selbst bei thixotropen Flüssigkeiten eine weitestgehende Restentleerung des Behälters dadurch ermöglicht, dass ein Rührwerk in eine im Trichtergrund angesammelte Restmenge eingetaucht werden kann.The present invention has for its object to provide an inner container made of plastic for the transport and storage of liquids as well as a transport and storage container with such an inner container, which allows a largely residual emptying of the container, even with thixotropic liquids in that an agitator in a in Funnel bottom accumulated residual amount can be immersed.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist der erfindungsgemäße Innenbehälter die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf.To solve this problem, the inner container according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß ist der Auslaufstutzen des Innenbehälters an einem Trichterboden eines in der unteren Bodenwand ausgebildeten Auslauftrichters angeordnet, wobei der Auslauftrichter eine vordere Trichterwand mit dem Auslaufstutzen und zwei V-förmig zueinander angestellte, unter einem Trichterwinkel α gegenüber der Horizontalen angeordnete seitliche Trichterwände aufweist, die sich jeweils ausgehend von einem kielförmigen Trichtergrund zu einem Unterrand einer Seitenwand erstrecken, wobei eine Kiellinie des kielförmigen Trichtergrund unter einem Trichterwinkel β gegenüber der Horizontalen von dem unterhalb der Frontwand angeordneten Auslaufstutzen zur Rückwand hin ansteigt.According to the invention, the outlet connection of the inner container is arranged on a funnel bottom of a discharge funnel formed in the lower bottom wall arranged, wherein the discharge funnel has a front hopper wall with the outlet nozzle and two V-shaped to each other, arranged at a funnel angle α relative to the horizontal lateral funnel walls, each extending from a keel-shaped funnel bottom to a lower edge of a side wall, wherein a keel line of Kielförmigen funnel bottom at a funnel angle β relative to the horizontal from the arranged below the front wall outlet nozzle to the rear wall increases.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung wird die untere Bodenwand zur Ausbildung eines Auslauftrichters genutzt, der aufgrund der V-förmig zueinander angestellten seitlichen Trichterwände in Verbindung mit dem kielförmig ausgebildeten, vom Auslaufstutzen zur Rückwand hin mit ansteigender Kiellinie verlaufenden Trichtergrund das Ablaufen selbst hochviskoser Flüssigkeiten im Bereich der unteren Bodenwand zum Trichtergrund hin ermöglicht, sodass sichergestellt ist, dass die im Innenbehälter verbliebene Restmenge sich am Trichtergrund sammelt. Darüber hinaus bildet der kielförmige Trichtergrund einen sich vom Auslaufstutzen zur Rückwand hin erweiternden rinnenförmigen Ablaufkanal aus.Due to the inventive design, the lower bottom wall is used to form a discharge funnel, due to the V-shaped to each other employed lateral funnel walls in conjunction with the keel-shaped, running from the outlet to the rear wall with rising keel line funnel running even high-viscosity liquids in the lower Bottom wall towards the funnel bottom out so that it is ensured that the remaining amount in the inner container collects at the funnel bottom. In addition, the keel-shaped funnel base forms a channel-shaped outflow channel widening from the outlet connection piece to the rear wall.
Die Ausbildung einer derartigen Ansammlung, die ein Restmengenbad ausbildet, ist Voraussetzung dafür, dass die Restmenge überhaupt mit dem Rührwerk beaufschlagbar ist, also das Rührwerk in das Restmengenbad eingetaucht werden kann, und dass die Ausbildung von Flüssigkeitsnestern außerhalb eines Zugriffsbereichs für das Rührwerk weitestgehend verhindert wird.The formation of such a collection, which forms a Restmengenbad, is a prerequisite for the remaining amount can be acted upon at all with the agitator, so the agitator can be immersed in the Restmengenbad, and that the formation of liquid nests outside of an access area for the agitator is largely prevented ,
Erfindungsgemäß ist der kielförmige Trichtergrund schalenförmig ausgebildet, mit einem konkaven Querschnitt und ausgehend vom Trichterboden zur Rückwand hin keilförmig ansteigend ausgebildet. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die untere Bodenwand so auszubilden, das sich das Gefälle der V-förmig zueinander angestellten Seitenwände im Bereich des Trichtergrunds fortsetzt und der Trichtergrund aufgrund seiner konkaven und keilförmigen Ausformung einen wesentlichen Teil eines in der unteren Bodenwand ausgebildeten Sammelbehälters bildet, der ein Eintauchen des Rührwerks ermöglicht.According to the kielförmige funnel base is cup-shaped, with a concave cross-section and formed starting from the funnel bottom to the rear wall in a wedge-shaped rising. This makes it possible to form the lower bottom wall so that the slope of the V-shaped mutually employed side walls in the area of the funnel base continues and the funnel base due to its concave and wedge-shaped formation forms an essential part of a formed in the lower bottom wall sump, which allows immersion of the agitator.
Darüber hinaus bildet der kielförmige Trichtergrund erfindungsgemäß einen vom Auslaufstutzen zur Rückwand hin verlaufenden, sich erweiternden rinnenförmigen Ablaufkanal aus, sodass sichergestellt ist, dass die im Innenbehälter verbliebene Restmenge sich am Trichtergrund sammelt..In addition, according to the invention, the keel-shaped funnel base forms a widening channel-shaped outflow channel running from the outlet connection piece to the rear wall, so that it is ensured that the residual quantity remaining in the inner container collects at the funnel base.
Wenn der Trichterwinkel α in einem durch die Einfüllöffnung gehenden Querschnitt des Innenbehälters zwischen 25 und 50° beträgt, ist sichergestellt, dass zum einen ein ausreichendes Gefälle der Trichterwände zum kielförmigen Trichtergrund hin ausgebildet ist, zum anderen aber auch ein Rührwerk möglichst tief und mit möglichst geringen Abstand von den Seitenwänden in den Trichtergrund eingesetzt werden kann.If the funnel angle α in a cross section of the inner container passing through the filling opening is between 25 and 50 °, it is ensured that, on the one hand, a sufficient gradient of the funnel walls to the keel-shaped funnel base is formed, and on the other hand also an agitator as deep as possible and as small as possible Distance from the side walls in the funnel base can be used.
Wenn darüber hinaus der Trichterwinkel β zwischen 5° und 15° beträgt, wird eine besonders vorteilhaft optimierte Ausgestaltung der unteren Bodenwand des Innenbehälters möglich, der bei möglichst großem Behältervolumen in der unteren Bodenwand die Ausbildung eines besonders effektiv ausgestalteten Sammelbehälters ermöglicht.Moreover, if the funnel angle β is between 5 ° and 15 °, a particularly advantageous optimized embodiment of the lower bottom wall of the inner container is possible, which enables the formation of a particularly effectively designed collection container with the largest possible container volume in the lower bottom wall.
Vorzugsweise weist der kielförmige Trichtergrund zur Rückwand hin einen Endbereich auf, mit einem sich zur Rückwand hin horizontal erweiternden Übergangswandabschnitt, der in einem Querschnitt des Innenbehälters eine horizontale Kontur aufweist und in einem Längsschnitt des Innenbehälters mit einer bogenförmigen Kontur in die Rückwand übergeht, sodass in dem kritischen Übergangsbereich vom kielförmigen Trichtergrund zur regelmäßig eben ausgebildeten und vertikal ausgerichteten Rückwand des Innenbehälters die Ausbildung von Flüssigkeitsnestern, also Oberflächenbereichen, an denen eine unerwünschte Ansammlung von Flüssigkeiten möglich ist, verhindert wird.The keel-shaped funnel base preferably has an end region towards the rear wall, with a transition wall section that horizontally widens toward the rear wall, which has a horizontal contour in a cross section of the inner container and merges into the rear wall in a longitudinal section of the inner container with an arcuate contour, so that in FIG critical transition region from the keel-shaped funnel bottom to the regularly planar and vertically oriented rear wall of the inner container, the formation of liquid nests, ie surface areas where an undesirable accumulation of liquids is possible, is prevented.
Ein besonders gleichmäßiger Übergang mit einer von Erhebungen oder Senken freien Oberfläche wird möglich, wenn die bogenförmige Kontur einen konstanten Radius aufweist und vorzugsweise ohne Steigung in die Rückwand übergeht.A particularly uniform transition with a surface free of elevations or depressions is possible if the arcuate contour has a constant radius and preferably merges into the rear wall without an incline.
Vorzugsweise ist die vordere Trichterwand von einem Unterrand der Frontwand zum Trichterboden hin geneigt, sodass sich eine gegenüber der Frontwand des Innenbehälters zurückgesetzte Anordnung des Auslaufstutzens und somit eine entsprechend zurückgesetzte und damit geschützte Anordnung einer an den Auslaufstutzen angebrachten Auslaufarmatur möglich ist. Weiterhin ermöglicht die geneigte vordere Trichterwand eine Anpassung des Gefällewinkels der vorderen Trichterwand an die Gefällewinkel der seitlichen Trichterwände.Preferably, the front hopper wall is inclined from a lower edge of the front wall to the hopper floor, so that a relation to the front wall of the inner container recessed arrangement of the outlet nozzle and thus a correspondingly set back and thus protected arrangement of attached to the outlet nozzle outlet fitting is possible. Furthermore, the inclined front funnel wall allows the slope angle of the front funnel wall to be adjusted to the incline angles of the side funnel walls.
Für die einwandfreie Funktion des Auslauftrichters ist es jedoch ausreichend, wenn gemäß einer möglichen Ausführungsform die vordere Trichterwand durch einen dreieckförmigen Fortsatz der Frontwand gebildet ist, der sich vorzugsweise in der Ebene der Frontwand erstreckt.However, it is sufficient for the proper functioning of the outlet funnel if, according to a possible embodiment, the front funnel wall is formed by a triangular extension of the front wall, which preferably extends in the plane of the front wall.
Ein besonders geringer, die Restentleerung des Innenbehälters unterstützender Strömungswiderstand im Einlaufbereich des Auslaufstutzens wird erreicht, wenn der Trichterboden napfförmig ausgebildet ist und eine an einem Unterrand der vorderen Trichterwand ausgebildete und parallel zur Frontwand des Innenbehälters angeordnete Anschlussfläche für den Auslaufstutzen aufweist.A particularly low, the emptying of the inner container supportive flow resistance in the inlet region of the outlet nozzle is achieved when the funnel bottom is cup-shaped and has a formed on a lower edge of the front funnel wall and arranged parallel to the front wall of the inner container connection surface for the outlet nozzle.
Wenn der Innenbehälter gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform mit einem Rührwerk versehen ist, dessen Rührwerkskopf in einen in der Bodenwand ausgebildeten Rührraum eindringt, können selbst kleinste Restmengen in dem Rührraum gesammelt und durch das mit dem Innenbehälter kombinierte Rührwerk, dessen Rührwerkskopf durch geeignete Ausgestaltung ein Eindringen in diesen Rührraum ermöglicht, aufgerührt werden.If the inner container is provided according to a particularly preferred embodiment with an agitator, the agitator head penetrates into a formed in the bottom wall stirring space, even the smallest residual amounts can be collected in the stirring chamber and by the combined with the inner container agitator whose agitator head by suitable design, an intrusion into allows this stirred space to be stirred.
Der erfindungsgemäße Transport- und Lagerbehälter für Flüssigkeiten weist einen Innenbehälter aus Kunststoff mit den Merkmalen nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 9 auf, wobei der Innenbehälter mit seiner unteren Bodenwand zur Abstützung auf einem Palettenboden einer mit einem Außenmantel zur Aufnahme des Innenbehälters versehenen Transportpalette angeordnet ist und zwischen der unteren Bodenwand des Innenbehälters und dem Palettenboden eine Stützeinrichtung angeordnet ist, die eine an die Bodenwand angepasste Stützfläche aufweist.The transport and storage container for liquids according to the invention has an inner container made of plastic with the features of one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the inner container is arranged with its lower bottom wall for support on a pallet base of a provided with an outer jacket for receiving the inner container transport pallet and between the lower bottom wall of the inner container and the pallet base a support means is arranged, which has a support surface adapted to the bottom wall.
Der erfindungsgemäße Transport- und Lagerbehälter ermöglicht somit durch eine einfache Kombination einer konventionellen, einen Außenmantel aufweisenden Transportpalette mit einer Stützeinrichtung die Verwendung eines Innenbehälters der die unter Bezugnahme auf die Ansprüche 1 bis 9 bereits ausführlich erläuterten Vorteile aufweist.The transport and storage container according to the invention thus makes it possible by means of a simple combination of a conventional transport pallet having an outer casing with a support device to use an inner container which has the advantages already described in detail with reference to claims 1 to 9.
Der erfindungsgemäße Transport- und Lagerbehälter ermöglicht die Verwendung eines Innenbehälters, der eine verbesserte Restentleerung ermöglicht, ohne dass hierzu von der üblicherweise bei einem Transport- und Lagerbehälter verwendeten Transportpalette oder dem in üblicher Weise ausgebildeten Außenmantel abgewichen werden müsste, um die vorteilhaften Wirkungen des Innenbehälters nutzen zu können.The transport and storage container according to the invention allows the use of an inner container, which allows improved emptying without the need to deviate from the usual used in a transport and storage container transport pallet or trained in the usual way outer sheath to use the beneficial effects of the inner container to be able to.
Die Kombination der in besonderer Weise als Auslauftrichter ausgestalteten unteren Bodenwand mit der daran angepassten Stützeinrichtung ermöglicht zwischen dem Innenbehälter und der Stützeinrichtung die Ausbildung einer mechanischen Eingriffsverbindung, die eine Entlastung des Außenmantels von dynamischen, also beispielsweise während des Transports auftretenden Querkräften, ermöglicht, so dass der Transport- und Lagerbehälter eine erhöhte Transportsicherheit aufweist.The combination of the designed in a special way as a discharge hopper lower bottom wall with the supporting means adapted thereto allows between the inner container and the support means the formation of a mechanical engagement compound, which allows a relief of the outer shell of dynamic, so occurring for example during transport shear forces, so that the Transport and storage container has increased transport safety.
Besonders vorteilhaft hinsichtlich der Gesamthöhe des Transport- und Lagerbehälters und damit unter anderem auch für die Kippstabilität oder Stapelsicherheit wirkt es sich aus, wenn die Stützeinrichtung zur Ausbildung der Stützfläche für die Bodenwand einen Stützrahmen mit einer Ausnehmung für den Auslauftrichter und mit einer Ausnehmung zur Durchführung einer am Auslaufstutzen angeordneten Auslaufarmatur aufweist, sodass der Auslaufstutzen versenkt in der Stützeinrichtung aufgenommen werden kann.Particularly advantageous in terms of the overall height of the transport and storage container and thus, inter alia, for the tipping stability or stacking security, it is effective if the support means for forming the support surface for the bottom wall a support frame with a Recess for the discharge funnel and having a recess for carrying a discharge nozzle arranged on the outlet fitting, so that the discharge nozzle can be received sunk in the support means.
Vorzugsweise weist der Stützrahmen ein die Ausnehmung zur Durchführung der am Auslaufstutzen angeordneten Auslaufarmatur überbrückendes Stützjoch zur Abstützung des Innenbehälters auf.The support frame preferably has a support yoke bridging the recess for carrying out the outlet fitting arranged at the outlet connection for supporting the inner container.
Wenn gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform die Stützeinrichtung zur Ausbildung der Stützfläche für die untere Bodenwand eine Stützmulde aufweist, ist eine besonders sichere Abstützung des Innenbehälters mit optimaler Krafteinleitung der vom Innenbehälter auf die Transportpalette wirkenden Flächenlast realisiert.If according to an advantageous embodiment, the support means for forming the support surface for the lower bottom wall has a support trough, a particularly secure support of the inner container is realized with optimum application of force acting from the inner container to the transport pallet area load.
Zur Reduzierung der Anzahl der Komponenten eines Transport- und Lagerbehälters kann die Stützeinrichtung einstückig zusammenhängend mit dem Palettenboden ausgebildet sein, also etwa als ein Formteil hergestellt sein.To reduce the number of components of a transport and storage container, the support means may be integrally formed integrally with the pallet base, so be made about as a molded part.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Stützeinrichtung als Blasformteil ausgebildet ist, sodass zur Herstellung der Stützeinrichtung dieselbe Technologie einsetzbar ist, wie zur Herstellung des Innenbehälters.It is particularly advantageous if the support device is designed as a blow molded part, so that the same technology can be used for producing the support device as for producing the inner container.
Alternativ ist es möglich, die Stützeinrichtung als Spritzgießteil auszubilden, sodass die Stützeinrichtung durch optimierte Gestaltung mit geringst möglichem Materialeinsatz und dennoch dynamisch hoch belastbar ausführbar ist.Alternatively, it is possible to form the support means as an injection molded part, so that the support means by optimized design with the least possible use of materials and yet dynamic high loadable executable.
Insbesondere zur Herstellung einer Stützeinrichtung, die aus einfachen ebenen Teilen zusammengesetzt ist und dennoch sowohl eine Anpassung an die Oberfläche des Palettenbodens als auch an die untere Bodenwand sowie den Auslauftrichter des Innenbehälters ermöglicht, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Stützeinrichtung als Tragwerk mit einer Mehrzahl von quer zur Längsrichtung des Innenbehälters angeordneten Tragrippen ausgebildet ist, die über horizontale Verbindungselemente miteinander verbunden sind.In particular, for producing a support device which is composed of simple flat parts and yet allows both an adaptation to the surface of the pallet base as well as the lower bottom wall and the outlet funnel of the inner container, it is advantageous if the support means as a supporting structure with a plurality of transversely to the longitudinal direction of the inner container arranged support ribs is formed, which are connected to each other via horizontal connecting elements.
Wenn die Stützeinrichtung als Stabwerk mit einer Mehrzahl miteinander verbundener Stäbe ausgebildet ist, ist es beispielsweise möglich, die Stützeinrichtung als Schweißkonstruktion auszuführen, wobei sich insbesondere die Verwendung von Rohren aufgrund ihrer im Vergleich zum Materialeinsatz hohen Biegefestigkeit als vorteilhaft erweist. Wenn das Stabwerk zumindest teilweise durch Stäbe des Außenmantels gebildet ist, lässt sich der Materialeinsatz zur Herstellung des Stabwerks durch Verwendung bereits vorhandener Stäbe des Außenmantels minimieren.If the support device is designed as a truss with a plurality of interconnected rods, it is for example possible to perform the support means as a welded construction, in particular, the use of pipes proves advantageous due to their high compared to the use of material bending strength. If the framework is at least partially formed by rods of the outer shell, the material used for the production of the framework by using existing existing rods of the outer shell can be minimized.
Zur Vermeidung unerwünschter Flächenpressung an den Kontaktstellen zwischen den Stäben des Stabwerks und dem Innenbehälter ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Stabwerk zur Ausbildung von Stützflächen mit Tragflächen versehen ist, die vorzugsweise aus Blechzuschnitten gebildet sind, sodass eine Verschweißung mit den Stäben des Stabwerks leicht möglich ist.To avoid undesirable surface pressure at the contact points between the rods of the framework and the inner container, it is advantageous if the framework is provided for forming support surfaces with wings, which are preferably formed from sheet metal blanks, so that welding with the rods of the framework is easily possible.
Nachfolgend wird eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Innenbehälters und des erfindungsgemäßen Transport- und Lagerbehälters anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the inner container according to the invention and the transport and storage container according to the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Unabhängig von den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen gilt ganz grundsätzlich, dass die Trichterwände sowie die Kiellinie vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen eben bzw. geradlinig ausgebildet sind, jedoch auch zumindest bereichsweise eine leichte Wölbung der Oberfläche bzw. der Linie aufweisen können. In diesem Fall beziehen sich die Winkel α und β auf die an die Oberflächen bzw. die Kiellinie angelegten Tangenten.Regardless of the exemplary embodiments illustrated, it is quite fundamentally the case that the funnel walls and the keel line are preferably essentially planar or rectilinear, but that they may also have a slight curvature of the surface or the line at least in regions.
