Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved transport tank.
  • the invention presented concerns a tank with a double container designed to transport diesel fuel and an aqueous solution of high-purity urea, generally known by the commercial name of AdBlue.
  • Tanks are known for the transport of fuel, e.g., diesel fuel, consisting of a hollow container, on which is mounted a pump which is fluid-dynamically connected inside the container and to a dispensing nozzle.
  • fuel e.g., diesel fuel
  • a pump which is fluid-dynamically connected inside the container and to a dispensing nozzle.
  • transport tanks The purpose of these transport tanks is to refuel agricultural vehicles or operating machines directly on the worksite, e.g., a field or a building site, etc.
  • the tanks of this type have been designed to be transported on the cargo bed of a truck or in the loading compartment of a van or the like.
  • AdBlue tank has to be periodically replenished.
  • the technical aim at the bottom of the present invention is to propose a fuel transport tank which exceeds the limits of known tanks and which at the same time provides more effective use.
  • reference numeral 1 globally indicates an innovative and improved fuel transport tank with respect to known tanks.
  • the proposed tank 1 comprises a first container 2 for transporting diesel fuel and a second container 3 for transporting an aqueous solution of urea, in particular AdBlue.
  • the first container 2 is provided with a seat 20 (clearly visible in Figure 3 ) in which the second container 3 is inserted in a removable manner.
  • the first container 2 In order to allow the second container 3 to be inserted in the first container 2 and transported by means of it, the first container 2 will be larger in size than the second container 3, as shown on the attached illustrations.
  • first and the second containers 2, 3 are adapted to perform the function of "tanks” in themselves and that the proposed tank 1 can therefore be deemed a "compound tank”; this is therefore a complex product, made up of (at least) two main removable parts, which structurally and functionally operate in conjunction to obtain convenience and effectiveness of use which are not achieved by the prior art.
  • the containers 2, 3 have a generically prismatic or polyhedral shape, preferably having six main faces or sides and are provided with an internal volume which contains the relative fuel.
  • Each container 2, 3 of the invention has a respective filling opening which gives access to the internal volume, through which opening the contained fuel also flows out.
  • Both containers 2, 3 are made in a single body piece, preferably polyethylene.
  • the first container 2 comprises a lower base side 21 on which it can be rested during transport and an opposite upper side 22, wherein the above seat 20 for the second container 3 is preferably formed.
  • the seat 20 therefore defines a sort of groove or cavity which extends from the upper side 22 towards the inside of the first container 2, to allow the second container 3 to be inserted and extracted from above.
  • the filling opening can be formed and a space 23 (e.g., a recess) can also be defined wherein a pump is mounted which is connected to a dispenser by means of a pipe, such dispenser consisting of a nozzle or similar devices.
  • a space 23 e.g., a recess
  • a pump is mounted which is connected to a dispenser by means of a pipe, such dispenser consisting of a nozzle or similar devices.
  • the pump is fluid-dynamically connectable, by means of at least a specific pipe, to the filling openings of the first container 2 and of the second container 3, to allow the dispensing of the fuel transported therein.
  • the invention comprises a lid 4, hinged to the first container 2, which lid 4, once closed, is adapted to cover the seat 20 and the second container 3 contained therein.
  • Means can also be provided for keeping the lid 4 in closed position, lockable and releasable by a user (think for example of a padlock or a lock or the like).
  • the lid 4 is substantially hinged at a corner of the upper side 22, so that, once closed, it covers and protects the second container 3 for the AdBlue, the pump, the dispensing nozzle and the fluid-dynamic connection pipes (compare Figures 1 and 2 ).
  • the seat 20 for fitting the second container 3 is in practice defined by a recess which is shaped by the outer walls themselves of the first container 2; preferably, the seat 20 of the first container 2 has a substantially prismatic or polyhedral shape and is adapted to receive to size the second container 3.
  • both the second container 3 and the seat 20 can have a quadrangular profile, seen from a plan perspective or from above and, preferably, the seat 20 is configured to contain the second container 3 in a substantially complete manner.
  • the second container 3 is completely closed in the first container 2, with an upper side or grip side 34 of the second container 3 remaining accessible to the user, when the lid 4 is raised; when the lid 4 is closed, the second container 3 is completely covered and is in practice isolated with respect to the outside environment.
  • the upper side 34 of the second container 3 is preferably provided with a grip element 31, e.g., a handle, for the manual extraction of the second container 3 itself from the seat 20.
  • a grip element 31 e.g., a handle
  • the seat 20 of the first container 2 is defined by a lower bottom 24 and by four side walls 25, substantially vertical, which rise up from the bottom 24 as far as the upper side 22 of the first container 2; preferably, the bottom 24 and the walls 25 of the seat 20 are sized in such a way as to touch respective sides 32, 33 of the second container 3, possibly leaving a certain amount of play to facilitate extraction.
  • the second container 3 and the seat 20 have a substantially similar shape, to define a male/female coupling, with or without play.
  • the seat 20 is shaped in such a way as to allow the second container 3 inserted therein a single degree of freedom of movement in the direction of extraction and insertion.
  • the second container 3 is also constrained with respect to the displacement in the direction of extraction and can therefore be transported together with the first container 2 to which it is therefore integrally coupled.
  • the seat 20 has a bottom 24 having a complementary shape with respect to a support side 33 of the second container 3, opposite the grip side 34.
  • the support side 33 of the second container 3 can be provided with an outer cap 35 for closing its filling opening; in this case, the bottom 24 of the seat 20 shapes a housing 26 to receive to size the cap 35 of the second container 3.
  • the support side 33 of the second container 3 and the bottom 24 of the seat 20 can have respective curved contact surfaces, convex and concave respectively (as in the figures) or vice versa.
  • the second container 3 can shape a shaped recess 36 which defines a housing to receive a dispensing nozzle.
  • the housing for the nozzle is defined between the shaped recess 36 of the second container 3 and the side walls 25 of the seat 20, when the second container 3 is inserted in the seat 20.
  • the shaped recess 36 can be substantially obtained at at least one corner of the grip side 34 of the second container 3.
  • the first and the second container 2, 3 are filled with diesel fuel and AdBlue respectively.
  • the second container 3 is inserted "head down" in the seat 20 of the first container 2 and the lid 4 is closed.
  • the tank 1 is unloaded and moved close to the tractor itself.
  • the operator opens the lid 4 and, by means of the pump and the dispenser, fills the specific tank mounted on the tractor with diesel fuel.
  • the operator extracts the second container 3, by pulling the handle 31, overturns it and connects the pump to the opening so as to be able to fill the AdBlue tank with which the tractor is equipped.
