Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lid for a container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • lids for bulk containers e.g. Octagonal, rectangular or round containers
  • Commercially available lids for such containers are usually made of corrugated cardboard and are designed such that they are continuously closed on the lid surface and provided with glued short side elements.
  • octabin lids for special stackable plastic octabins are also offered which are relatively expensive, heavy, and also not designed to guide suction tubes through the lid.
  • the lid is that these covers can not accommodate suction tubes, quickly pollute and are very bulky and thus difficult to handle. In the case of a corrugated cardboard lid they are still easy to damage and not durable.
  • the known lid In order to be able to perform a filling or emptying of the container, the known lid must be completely removed or placed ter to form a through-slot on the container, so that a suction tube is inserted.
  • plastic granules and powders for example, cereals / flour in bakeries
  • plastic granules and powders are also used only partially closed lid due to the ambient conditions moisture from the air, resulting in additional post-drying and considerable energy costs.
  • the weather-related environment variables are a major problem here.
  • the suction tube With the suction tube simply plugged in, it can be used for off-center displacement of the suction tube and thus for inhomogeneous evacuation, e.g. in the case of granulate mixtures with color batch particles or recyclates, which as a rule are distributed inhomogeneously in the container.
  • the suction pipe can change its own weight and its position with increasing emptying because it "floats" in the granulate, which can lead to an uneven emptying process, with consequent increased control and intervention effort
  • a slipping suction tube can push the lid away, which in turn can lead to increased contamination of the bulk material, or jam and / or only suck in air.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a lid for containers of the type mentioned, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the lid is foldable.
  • it comprises a first cover element and at least one second cover element which is connected to a first side of the first cover element and foldable relative to the first cover element, or preferably two second cover elements connected to the first cover element on opposite first sides of the first cover element and foldable relative to the first cover element.
  • the second cover elements are foldable under or over the first cover element, and the second cover elements in particular each have an equal or smaller surface area than the first cover element.
  • the foldable page element can hereby at less than 99.9%, more preferably less than 90%, more preferably less than 75% and at least 25%, more preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 70% of the length of the lid member. In this way, a particularly compact folding of the lid with an optimized (minimized) space is created.
  • a first side element which is foldable in relation thereto, is provided at least on a second side of the cover element which is different from the first side of the cover element.
  • this side element is designed so that it can be attached to the container wall and thus exerts a fastening function.
  • the at least one first side element is designed with connecting means for connecting the side element to the container to be covered. This is particularly advantageous when the lid is combined with a tube for filling or emptying.
  • the side elements also serve to stabilize the entire lid system.
  • second side elements which are foldable on the second lid elements are connected via one or more fold edges and / or hinges and / or film hinges.
  • These second side elements can in turn be provided with connecting means to fix them to the container wall.
  • bonding agents such as adhesives, hook-and-loop fasteners or other connecting agents such as For example, magnets, snap fasteners, hooks, eyes, tabs or straps.
  • the second cover elements and in particular the first side element are placed in a transport or storage position with its inner surface on the cover element.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the present invention provides that the cover element has at least one connection opening for filling or emptying. Also, a plurality of such openings may be provided to allow about the emptying of the container into several production lines.
  • the at least one opening is preferably round and preferably has a diameter of 76 to 36 cm, preferably less than 20 cm, more preferably less than 10 cm and even more preferably less than 5 cm.
  • a suction tube or a hose or the like can be inserted into the connection opening.
  • the connection opening on a molding of plastic and / or metal and / or natural materials. This molding serves as an adapter for attaching the suction pipe or the like.
  • plastic or metal moldings which form and / or frame and / or stiffen the at least one push-through opening can have different inner and outer diameters, and / or with different guide elements, and / or different lengths of the guide.
  • tion elements preferably be designed as a pipe socket.
  • the molded part is preferably formed with at least one through opening and either sealing or largely sealing the explicatsteckenden suction tube, wherein the lid and / or the molded part can have additional Zu Kunststoffö réelleen or columns or air-permeable devices with drying means for pressure equalization.
  • the molded part may not be designed to be sealing to the suction pipe in order to allow secondary air for pressure equalization.
  • the at least one connection opening or the adapter is designed such that it extends the at least one inserted suction tube with the tube longitudinal axis at an angle to the lid surface.
  • this angle can be 90 °, but it is also possible that the angle is preferably more than 75 °, more preferably more than 45 ° and even more preferably more than 30 ° and / or 30 °.
  • the holder of the suction tube is thus either 90 ° degrees to the lid but also executed in different variants with different inclinations and thus allows optimal emptying of the container.
  • the inclinations are preferably carried out in fixed units and / or also variably rotatable in smaller steps and are fixed by means of locking elements.
  • connection opening can be arranged substantially centrally, in particular, on the cover element. In this way it is achieved that when the intake manifold is introduced, a displacement of the cover due to asymmetrical introduction of force via the intake manifold is avoided. But also an eccentric arrangement is conceivable, for example, to provide a balance, if the container is to be stored approximately on an inclined plane.
  • the molded part with the connection opening can for example be inserted into two parallel running guide rails which are attached to the cover, so that it can be removed for folding the cover.
  • connection opening is configured with a pierceable elastomer unit and / or a closure element.
  • the connection opening which is preferably designed as a through opening, may be self-closing with sealing lips and / or rubber sleeves and / or elastic valves. In this way it is ensured that the passage of contaminants through the lid is avoided in the interior of the container. Also, the lid can be protected in the folded state against contamination during storage.
  • suction tube or connecting pipe this is not exclusively a pipe meant, but it may also be a hose or another form of bulk material. Also, not only must be sucked on the suction pipe to empty the container, but this can also be provided for filling the container.
  • Said molding is formed according to an advantageous embodiment to at least one side of the lid member flat. The molding is preferably 5 cm or less, preferably 3 cm or less, in particular less than 2 cm, more preferably less than 1 cm, more preferably less than 5 mm, over the surface of the cover element.
  • connection pipe to the lid
  • the molding in particular, for the molding to have at least one guide element and / or at least one holding element for at least one connection pipe or suction pipe.
  • the lid according to the invention may be made of compact plates and / or web plates and / or multilayer plates and / or lightweight panels made of commercially available compact and / or foamed plastics (for example PP, PE, PUR, PVC or the like) or corrugated board or organo sheets or fiber composite materials. Also combinations of these are possible.
  • compact plates and / or web plates and / or multilayer plates and / or lightweight panels made of commercially available compact and / or foamed plastics (for example PP, PE, PUR, PVC or the like) or corrugated board or organo sheets or fiber composite materials. Also combinations of these are possible.
  • the lid material may be antistatic to reduce dust buildup. Preference is also given to at least impregnated and / or lacquered and / or plastic-film and / or plastic-fabric-laminated panels and / or boards as well as natural fiber materials. For better durability, wiping and cost reasons are outer layers and / or films of commercially available plastics (homopolymers or copolymers) in particular polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PUR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and / or coated therewith fabric and / or textiles preferred.

  • the lid on its - the container in the use position facing - inside a moisture-absorbing device with desiccant (eg silicates or other hygroscopic substances), preferably a replaceable desiccant unit with ventilation openings.
  • desiccant eg silicates or other hygroscopic substances
  • the lid may have a grounding device for dissipating a static charge.
  • the subsequent processing of the bulk material can be simplified, as this would otherwise charge due to the internal friction during emptying of the container. This is certainly avoided with the grounding.
  • the lid is made in one piece. For example, it may be stamped or constructed of assembled, for example glued and / or welded, elements. Folded edges may be formed from the lidding material by embossing, punching, perforating, ultrasonic welding or embossing, and / or formed by the flexible films and / or textile materials or fabrics joining the foldable elements. These connecting materials can be welded onto the cover material and / or adhesively bonded and / or also formed via film hinges or double / multiple folds directly by plastic connections.
  • the lid may have at least one additional opening. This serves to guide measuring technology, in particular measuring probes or measuring sensors or venting or pressure compensation devices, into the interior of the container in order to provide information about the state of the bulk material - e.g. its humidity or temperature - to get.
  • the invention offers the following advantages over previous solutions:
  • a suction pipe connected can be kept stable and secure, this being supported in particular by the design as a molded part,
  • the lid can be folded very compact and is therefore stackable for transport and storage and requires little storage space.
  • the lid can be produced very inexpensively;
  • the lid can be very easily fixed by means of the side elements on the container;
  • the lid is suitable for attaching a desiccant to dry and clean the material stored in the container. Since ⁇ by itself can significantly reduce quality defects or Ausfallra ⁇ th of machines due to polluted by suction material, the manufacturing process is of high quality and safe.
