Description

filling device

The invention relates to a closable filling device for filling bulk material from flexible bulk goods containers, in particular a filling mandrel.

A flexible bulk material container is a large bag made of fabric or plastic fabric, which is known under the name Bigbag. In order to completely empty the bigbag quickly, it is usually lifted and its bottom surface cut open with a knife. In order to be able to dose the emptying, filling devices in the form of a mandrel are known, which are pierced with their tip first from below into the plastic fabric, so that they penetrate to the bulk material. The bulk material can be emptied through openings in the filling device from the flexible bulk material container, wherein the filling device has a closure mechanism to start the emptying and stop.

FR2895728A3 shows a filling device in the form of a filling mandrel for big bags. The filling mandrel has a cylindrical hollow body, converge at the upper end of several struts to a point. Spaced apart from the struts, the filling mandrel has barbs which protrude from the cylindrical hollow body. Above the barbs, the cylindrical hollow body has openings. At the lower end, the cylindrical hollow body has a closure, which is formed of two adjacent plates, wherein the upper plate is fixedly connected to the cylindrical hollow body and having a central opening and the lower plate is made over the entire surface and pivotally with a threaded bolt on the upper Plate is attached. The filling mandrel is inserted with the tip into the Bigbag until the barbs penetrate into the Bigbag. Then the filling mandrel is pulled back slightly so that the barbs rest against the fabric of the bigbag from the inside. Bulk material can now penetrate between the struts and through the openings above the barbs in the cylindrical hollow body. By pivoting the lower plate around the

Threaded bolt, the closure is opened and the bulk material passes through the cylindrical hollow body down. Both plates are provided with handles to perform the pivoting movement by hand.

A disadvantage is the storage of the lower plate on the threaded bolt, since the mother or the head of the threaded bolt projects below from the lower plate and thus the filling mandrel is not exactly on the ground. Another disadvantage is that when the shutter is closed, the lower plate is held only on the threaded bolt and thus the weight of the bulk material exerts a strong moment on the plate, whereby the threaded bolt opposite the end of the plate is pressed down, causing a considerable burden or even deformation the lower plate yields. Respectively, the known closures are not sufficiently tight due to the insufficient support with fine bulk material such as sand or salt. The EP 2937291 A1 shows an extension of the device of FR 2895728 A3 to a filler neck, which can be screwed from below to the top plate when needed already inserted filling spout. Otherwise, the devices are identical, wherein neither the filling mandrel nor the filler have a satisfactory footprint.

In practice, the above-mentioned devices are used by placing them on the bottom with the bottom plate of the closure and lowering the flexible bulk material container or big bag from above onto the filling mandrel. Due to the protruding bolt is not given a level position. When lowering the big bag, large forces act on the filling mandrel, which can cause one of the handles, usually that of the top plate, to break off. In addition, there is the problem that when lifting the big bag together with the mandrel, the lower plate can be pushed down from the upper plate, so that bulk material can escape unintentionally, or unfavorably high moments acting on the bolt and the lower plate, resulting in damage can. In addition, full or partially empty flexible bulk material containers or big bags are often parked with bottling devices still used on the ground, the known filling devices are only moderately suitable and thereby increased damage may occur. This is also the case with known filling devices of reusable big bags or flexible reusable bulk containers.

The object underlying the invention is to improve filling devices for flexible bulk material containers, so that the said damage can be avoided.

To solve the problem, a filling device according to claim 1 for filling material from a flexible bulk material container is proposed, which has a hollow body having an upper and a lower opening surface, wherein the upper end of the hollow body protrudes into the interior of the flexible bulk material container, so that material can penetrate from the flexible bulk material container through the upper opening surface of the hollow body in this, wherein at the lower end of the hollow body there is a closure having an upper plate and a lower plate, which lie flat against each other, wherein the upper plate connects to the lower opening surface of the hollow body and itself has an opening in extension of the lower opening surface of the hollow body, and wherein the lower plate is fixed to the upper plate with a bolt and the lower plate can be pivoted about the axis of this bolt, between a first position, in which it completely closes the opening of the upper plate and a second position in which the opening of the upper plate is at least partially released, the lower plate having a structure which forms at least part of the standing surface of the filling device, the bolt or its head or the nut of the bolt downwards out of the footprint. A preferred improvement measure according to the invention is to attach at least one of the handles pivotally mounted on the respective plate, so that it can be folded away upwards. If too much moment should act on the handle when placing the flexible bulk goods container, it will fold upwards before damage can occur. Preferably, the upper plate has an at least approximately quadratic circumference, wherein the lower plate in the closed state of the filling device covers at least the lower opening surface of the upper plate and the corner regions whose at least approximately square circumference and the lower plate is provided at least in these corner regions with the structure which forms the base and / or four legs of the filling device.

It is preferably proposed to provide the lower plate and the upper plate of the filling device with a structure such that both plates form a common lower surface on which the filling device stands, the head or the nut of the pin of the pivoting mechanism not having this common lower surface the upper and lower plate projects and the upper plate or its handle spaced from the contact surface with the lower plate has at least one locking projection, wherein the lower plate is held in the closed state between this locking projection and the contact surface.

Preferably, at least two locking projections are provided which hold the lower plate in the closed state on the upper plate. Preferably, these locking projections to each other and the bolt at an angle of at least 90 ° to 135 ° (for example, each angle of 120 ° or even 90 ° and twice 135 °), based on the center of the opening of the hollow body, so that the lower plate held in the closed position at three spaced, distributed over the circumference of the opening points.

Preferably, a handle is attached to each of the upper plate and lower plate, each extending approximately horizontally away from the respective plate, the lower surface of the respective handle not protruding downwardly beyond the footprint of the filling device.

The inventive measure at least one of the levers or handles pivotally attached to the respective plate so that it can be folded away upwards, can also be implemented independently of the other improvements according to the invention, so that the known from the prior art filling only with at least one Folding handles is improved. In this case, of course, the above-described first-ranked solution of the improved footprint according to the invention described above can be additionally provided in order to further improve the filling device.

1 to 4 all show the same particularly preferred filling mandrel 1 according to the invention. The filling mandrel 1 has a hollow body 2 which preferably has a cylindrical jacket. At the upper end of the hollow body 2, a plurality of struts 3 extend together to form a point. For stability reasons and due to the preferred production in the plastic Injection molding has proven four evenly distributed over the circumference of the cylinder struts 3 as a technically most favorable variant, since three struts 3 would require a very expensive injection mold. At the lower end of the hollow body 2 is in the upper plate 4, which adjoins the outside of the cylinder and leaves the inner opening of the hollow body 2 preferably completely open. The hollow body 2, the upper plate 4 and the struts 3 forming the tip are preferably produced by injection molding as a monolithic plastic body.

In order to make the lower opening of the hollow body 2 and the upper plate 4 closable, a pivotable lower plate 5 is provided. The upper plate 4 is provided with a handle 6 and the lower plate 5 is provided with a handle 7, which are preferably diametrically opposed in the closed state of the closure. The upper plate 4 and the lower plate 5 each have a bore through which the bolt 8 extends, wherein the bolt 8 is pivotally supported in at least one of these holes. The lower plate 5 can be pivoted about the axis of the bolt 8, to release the opening of the hollow body 2 downwards, as can be seen in Fig. 3.

Between the struts 3 and the upper plate 4, the hollow body 2 on the outside barbs 9, which consist of elastic material, so that they are pressed during insertion through the fabric of the big bag down to the hollow body 2, not to the opening in the tissue enlarge. If the barbs 9 are completely moved through the tissue, they go back to their original position and spread when retracted against the inside of the fabric. Slightly above the barbs 9 openings 10 in the lateral surface of the hollow body 2 are provided to allow a nearly complete emptying of the big bag. Alternatively, it would also be possible to attach the barbs 9 further up the hollow body 2 in order to dispense with the openings 10, as illustrated in the alternative embodiment of FIG. 5. The barbs 9 are, known in the art, as strips of resilient material ago and are guided by slots in the hollow body 2 inwards and fastened above the slots on the inside of the hollow body 2 by riveting. As a material is relatively solid rubber. According to the invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the barbs 9 can be designed as spring steel plates which have a bend at an acute angle and are fastened below the slots on the inside of the hollow body 2 by rivets or screws, whereby the distance between the barbs 9 to the upper opening surface of the hollow body can be reduced in order to make the device easier, smaller and thus less material and less expensive to manufacture.

The essential improvement according to the invention relates to the closure or the bottom surface of the filling mandrel 1. According to the invention, the upper plate 4 is provided with a structure 11 which forms part of the base of the filling mandrel 1. Likewise, the invention provides to provide the lower plate 5 with a structure 12, which also forms part of the base of the filling mandrel 1. The head of the bolt 8 protrudes maximally up to the standing surface and is preferably received in a recess of the structure 12. As can be clearly seen in particular in FIG. 3, it is sufficient to carry out the structures 11 and 12 as webs on the edge of the respective plate 4, 5. Alternatively, in the lower plate 5, almost the entire surface may be provided with the structure 12, except for the recess for the head of the bolt 8 and one recess for the lock per locking projection 13. The structure 11 is thus on the upper plate 4 arranged that this does not affect the pivotal movement of the upper plate 4. The circumference of the upper plate 4 is designed to be larger than that of the lower plate 5. A particularly good stability results when the standing surface formed by the structures 11 and 12 has an approximately square circumference. The undersides of the handles 6, 7 can form a flat surface with the base surface, so coplanar with the structures 11, 12. As shown in the alternative embodiment of Fig. 5, the undersides of the handles 6, 7 may also be upwardly spaced from the footprint.

According to the invention, the closure has a locking projection 13, which is part of the upper plate 4, or is attached thereto. The locking projection 13 is mounted so that it holds the closed plate under the plate 5 against the upper plate 4. The locking projection 13 has for this purpose a plate-shaped portion whose upper surface is spaced from the upper plate 4 and whose lower surface is preferably coplanar with the base surface or the structure 1 1. When closing the lower plate 5 reaches with its edge rich in the gap between the locking projection 13 and the upper plate 4 and has in this edge region preferably a chamfer 16 or rounding to facilitate this. The locking projection 13 is located, relative to the lower opening of the hollow body 2, preferably approximately diametrically opposite the bolt 8. In the event that the upper plate 4 has two locking projections 13, close this, relative to the lower opening of the hollow body 2, preferably each other and the bolt 8 at an angle of about 120 ° each. In the illustrated embodiment of FIGS. 1-4, a locking projection 13 is present, which has an angle of approximately 135 ° to the bolt 8 and an angle of approximately 135 ° to the handle 7, as well as the handle 7 and the lower Plate 5 in the region of the handle 7 has a locking projection 14 which the upper

Plate 4 engages over in the closed state. The handle 7 has the bolt 8 at an angle of about 90 °. On this locking projection 14 can be omitted if in this area, or as mentioned above at an angle of 120 ° to the bolt 8, a second locking projection 13 is provided on the upper plate 4.

Since the lower plate 5 is kept in the closed state at three points, consisting of the bolt 8, the locking projection 13 and the locking projection 14 (or a second locking projection 13) on the upper plate 4, a stable and reliable closure of the filling mandrel 1 results , A further improvement according to the invention consists in at least one of the handles 6, 7 preferably fixing the handle 6 in a foldable manner. As shown, handle 6 is pivotally mounted via a bolt 15 between two parallel tabs in the transition region between the top plate 4 and the hollow body 2. The handle 6 can rest in the lower position on the upper plate 4 and against the weight or against a spring force, such as a hinge spring, be pivoted upwards. The handle 6 may alternatively engage in the lower position and be pushed with some resistance upwards out of this position. The folding mechanism prevents the handle 6 from breaking when subjected to excessive stress.

Handle 7 may be secured to the lower plate 5 accordingly. Preferably, however, handle 7 and the lower plate 5 are manufactured as a monolithic plastic body by injection molding.

The upper and lower plates 4, 5 are preferably already provided by injection molding with the respective structure 11, 12. Less preferably, the structure 1 1, 12, in particular the structure 1 1, be retrofitted, for example, in the form of several feet to the plate 4, 5 screwed, nailed, riveted or glued. A base can be fixed, for example with the bolt 8 against the lower plate 5, or may be part of the head of the bolt 8. As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the structures 11 and 12 can be mounted in the form of three feet to form a tripod or injection molded, wherein the lower surfaces of the three feet form the footing of the filling mandrel 1. The grooves shown in the feet can be used to clamp with a spring hose clamp a fabric or fabric hose or bag. Preferably, the hose or the bag to a hem around its opening, in which the spring hose clamp or a similar slotted wire ring is sewn. Particularly preferably, such a short fabric hose section can be fastened quickly, to which a filling pipe adjoins, whereby the filling pipe can advantageously be pivoted independently of the filling mandrel 1 due to the flexible fabric section. The feet may also have threads to which an attachment or a filler neck can be screwed.

The claimed technical features of the described embodiments according to the invention can be combined as desired in the context of expert action. The claimed scope of protection depends exclusively on the feature combination defined in the independent claim.

FIGS. 8 to 11 all show the same particularly preferred filling mandrel 1 according to the invention. The filling mandrel 1 has a hollow body 2 which preferably has a cylindrical jacket. At the upper end of the hollow body 2, a plurality of struts 3 extend together to form a point. At the lower end of the hollow body 2 is in the upper plate 4, which adjoins the outside of the cylinder and the inner opening of the hollow body 2 preferably entirely leaves open. The hollow body 2, the upper plate 4 and the struts 3 forming the tip are preferably produced by injection molding as a monolithic plastic body.

In order to make the lower opening of the hollow body 2 and the upper plate 4 closable, a pivotable lower plate 5 is provided. The upper plate 4 is provided with a handle 6 and the lower plate 5 is provided with a handle 7, which are preferably diametrically opposed in the closed state of the closure. The upper plate 4 and the lower plate 5 each have a bore through which the bolt 8 extends, wherein the bolt 8 is pivotally supported in at least one of these holes. The lower plate 5 can be pivoted about the axis of the bolt 8, to release the opening of the hollow body 2 downwards, as can be seen in Fig. 10.

The essential improvement according to the invention relates to the closure or the bottom surface of the filling mandrel 1. According to the invention, the lower plate 5 is provided with a structure 12 which forms at least part of the standing surface of the filling mandrel 1. The head of the bolt 8 protrudes maximally up to the standing surface and is preferably received in a recess of the structure 12. As can be clearly seen in particular in FIG. 10, it is sufficient to carry out the structure 12 as webs on the edge of the lower plate 5. Alternatively, in the lower plate 5, almost the entire surface may be provided with the structure 12, except for the recess for the head of the bolt 8. A particularly good stability results when the standing surface formed by the structure 12 has an approximately square circumference. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the structure 11 may be present on the handle 6 of the top plate 4, so that the handle 6 of the top plate 4 forms part of the footprint, with great leverage (for example, when the bulk material container is slanted or at the bottom) Settling swings) over the hinge joint flips up before it breaks. If the handle 6 monolithically connected to the hollow body 2, so would cancel the handle 6 also disadvantageous the entire

Injection molded part to be replaced. In one embodiment, the structure 1 1 on the handle 6 in the closed state, the lower plate 5 project beyond, in which case the lower plate 5 in the region of this overlapping structure 1 1 of the handle 6 has no structure 12 or have a chamfer 16 or rounding can, whereby the structure 1 1 forms a locking projection 13 for the lower plate 5 on the handle 6. The structure 11 or the

Locking projection 13 of the handle 6 is preferably carried out so that the upward folding of the handle 6 is not hindered, for example, the structure 1 1 may have on its facing the bottom edge a rounding.

As can be seen in Figs. 8 to 1 1, the locking projection 14 is preferably designed in two parts, wherein the two parts of the locking projection 14 protrude laterally from the handle 7 and the upper plate 4 spaced from one another laterally engage over the handle 7. Preferably, the lower plate 5 in the region of the two parts of the locking projection 14 each have a corresponding recess, so that the Closing the filling mandrel 1 works easily and reliably. Preferably, the upper plate 4 has an approximately rectangular or preferably square circumference, wherein the lower plate 5 in the closed state covers at least the opening of the upper plate 4 and the corner regions of the at least approximately square circumference and provided with a structure 12 at least in these corner regions is, which forms the base or four legs of the filling mandrel 1. The design of the base surface as a polygon, in particular as a three- or quadrangle, results in a significant improvement over round, or circular floor space. As an approximately square circumference, in particular, the circumference shown with rounded corners is to be understood, in which the side edges of the square are also arched outwards. More generally, the standing surface of the filling mandrel 1, or the shape of the structure 12 has a shape other than a circular shape.

By the circumferential structure 12, the rigidity or the bending resistance of the lower plate 5 is increased, so that bending of the lower plate 5 is prevented.

12 and 13, a further embodiment of a filling device according to the invention is shown in which the hollow body 2 no struts 3, no barbs 9 and no openings 10 are present. The hollow body 2 has a projection 17, which extends around the circumference of the hollow body 2, that is formed by a sudden increase in the outer circumference of the hollow body 2. The projection 17 is preferably located directly at the upper end of the hollow body 2. The other existing parts of the device, namely the upper plate 4, lower plate 5, the preferred hinged handle 6, the handle 7, the bolt 8 and the structure 12 may as represented ident identical to the previous embodiment. Unlike the filling mandrel 1, the embodiment variant according to the invention of FIGS. 12 to 13 is not stung by the casing of a bulk goods container, but rather in the closable opening of a flexible reusable bulk goods container

18 placed.

The connection of a reusable bulk goods container 18 to the filling device according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 14. The reusable bulk container 18 has at its lower end an open end, which is usually present with a smaller cross-section than the overlying portion of the reusable bulk container 18. As shown by solid lines, the open end is closed, for example, tied with a tape 19th

In order to empty the reusable bulk goods container 18, the belt 19 is opened and the bulk material escapes through the open end.

The filling device according to the invention can be used to empty the contents of the reusable bulk goods container 18 in metered form. For this purpose, when the returnable bulk goods container 18 is still closed, the hollow body 2 is introduced below the band 19 into the open end, according to which this is fixed on the outside of the hollow body 2, preferably with a pipe clamp or a clamping ring 20, which is shown dotted in Fig. 14. The clamping ring 20 can advantageously be closed or opened via a lever 21 in order to allow attachment and detachment without tools.

If the clamping ring 20 is closed, this secures the tissue of the open end of the reusable bulk goods container 18 from the outside against the hollow body 2, wherein the projection 17 prevents the clamping ring 20 from slipping from the hollow body 2. In this state, the band 19 can be solved so that the bulk of the open reusable bulk material container 18 (shown dotted) passes through the hollow body 2 to the lower plate 5 and rests against this. By pivoting the lower plate 5 about the pin 8, the filling device according to the invention can be opened and material from the reusable bulk container 18 can be removed metered. Advantageous over known portable, manual metering devices for removing material from a reusable bulk container 18 is that the filling device according to the invention has improved stability and preferably at least one folding handle 6, so that a full or teilentleerter reusable bulk container 18 together with the filling device according to the invention on the ground can be turned off without risking damage to the filling device. This is particularly advantageous for agricultural enterprises, since the reusable bulk containers 18, for example big bags, are usually lifted with a forklift or front loader, wherein after stopping the big bag together with the filling device according to the invention, the stacker or front loader is immediately available for other tasks. A complex removal of the dosing of the full or partially empty Bigbag can therefore be omitted.
