Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport container for bottles, glasses or the like, with a base from which extend corner columns which are connected to one another by side walls forming end faces and longitudinal sides, and which is provided with a standing edge, with a compartment being provided on the base and the bottom being spaced apart from the standing edge.
  • Transport containers for bottles, glasses or the like are known, for example, in the form of bottle crates (cf. e.g. DE 1 259 770 A ). They are used to securely hold bottles to enable non-destructive transport. At the same time, the transport containers should be sufficiently stable to enable them to be stacked even when the bottles are full.
  • compartments are provided on the bottom of the containers.
  • the compartments are usually webs that simulate the cross-section of the bottles or glasses and allow them to be placed.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transportbehälter für Flaschen, Gläser oder dergleichen mit einem Boden, von dem sich Ecksäulen erstrecken, die durch Stirnseiten und Längsseiten bildende Seitenwände miteinander verbunden sind, , und der mit einem Aufstellrand versehen ist, wobei auf dem Boden ein Gefache vorgesehen ist und wobei der Boden zu dem Aufstellrand beabstandet angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a transport container for bottles, glasses or the like, with a base from which extend corner columns which are connected to one another by side walls forming end faces and longitudinal sides, and which is provided with a standing edge, with a compartment being provided on the base and the bottom being spaced apart from the standing edge.

Transportbehälter für Flaschen, Gläser oder dergleichen sind beispielsweise in Form von Flaschenkästen bekannt (vgl. bspw. DE 1 259 770 A ). Sie dienen der sicheren Aufnahme von Flaschen, um einen zerstörungsfreien Transport zu ermöglichen. Gleichzeitig sollen die Transportbehälter eine ausreichend hohe Stabilität aufweisen, um ihre Stapelbarkeit auch in befülltem Zustand der Flaschen zu ermöglichen.Transport containers for bottles, glasses or the like are known, for example, in the form of bottle crates (cf. e.g. DE 1 259 770 A ). They are used to securely hold bottles to enable non-destructive transport. At the same time, the transport containers should be sufficiently stable to enable them to be stacked even when the bottles are full.

Um einen zerstörungsfreien Transport der Flaschen oder Gläser in den Behältern sowohl in gefülltem Zustand als auch in leerem Zustand sicherzustellen, sind am Boden der Behälter Gefache vorgesehen. Bei den Gefachen handelt es sich üblicherweise um Stege, die den Querschnitt der Flaschen oder Gläser nachbilden und deren Einstellen ermöglichen. Alternativ zu den Stegen können gleich wirkende Pinolen vorgesehen sein. Bei den Pinolen handelt es sich um vertikal vom Boden hervorragende Säulen, die den Querschnitt der in den Behälter einzustellenden Flaschen oder Gläser lediglich bereichsweise nachbilden.In order to ensure non-destructive transport of the bottles or glasses in the containers, both when full and when empty, compartments are provided on the bottom of the containers. The compartments are usually webs that simulate the cross-section of the bottles or glasses and allow them to be placed. As an alternative to the webs, quills with the same effect can be provided. The quills are columns that protrude vertically from the floor and only partially reproduce the cross-section of the bottles or glasses to be placed in the container.

In der Getränkebranche und dort insbesondere in der Bierbranche existiert eine große Vielfalt an Flaschen, sowohl in Bezug auf ihre Größe als auch ihre Form. In Deutschland haben die Bierflaschen üblicherweise ein Füllvolumen von 0,33 l und 0,5 l. Die Form kann dabei unabhängig vom Volumen stark variieren. Neben der weit verbreiteten Euro-Flasche gibt es u.a. die Steini-Flasche, die Longneck-Flasche und die NRW-Flasche. Diese Flaschen haben unterschiedliche Abmessungen, sowohl in Bezug auf ihre Höhe als auch in Bezug auf ihren Durchmesser. Folglich sind für die jeweiligen Flaschen verschiedene Transportbehälter erforderlich.In the beverage industry, and there in particular in the beer industry, there is a wide variety of bottles, both in terms of their size and shape. In Germany, beer bottles usually have a filling volume of 0.33 l and 0.5 l. The shape can vary greatly, regardless of the volume. In addition to the widely used Euro bottle, there is also the Steini bottle, the Longneck bottle and the NRW bottle. These bottles have different dimensions, both in terms of their height as well as in terms of their diameter. Consequently, different transport containers are required for the respective bottles.

Die Transportbehälter sind dabei derart ausgebildet, dass ihre Höhe im Wesentlichen auf die Höhe des jeweiligen Flaschentyps abgestimmt ist. Der Transportbehälter muss dabei gewährleisten, dass die Flasche einerseits nicht über den Rand des Kastens nach oben hinausragt. Andererseits soll die Flasche aber auch nicht zu tief im Kasten stehen, da das einen für den Verbraucher wenig ansprechenden Anblick darstellt. Hinzu kommt, dass bei der üblicherweise vollständig automatisierten Entnahme der Leergut-Flaschen bei zu tief im Behälter stehenden Flaschen die Handhabung erschwert ist. Dies ist dadurch verursacht, dass die hierfür genutzten Einrichtungen, sog. Auspacker, mit ihren Entnahme-Tulpen über den Flaschenkopf fahren, um die Flasche aus dem Behälter herauszuheben. Wenn nun die Flaschen sehr tief im Behälter stehen, ist dieses Vorgehen nahezu unmöglich. Folglich haben Transportbehälter für kurze Flaschen eine geringe Höhe. Das zieht aber unter Umständen Nachteile bei der Beförderung der Kästen in den Abfüll- und Reinigungsanlagen nach sich, da die Anlagen üblicherweise in der Lage sein sollen, verschiedene Kastenformate befördern zu können. Das ist bei flachen Kästen unter Umständen nicht gewährleistet.The transport containers are designed in such a way that their height is essentially matched to the height of the respective bottle type. The transport container must ensure that the bottle does not protrude upwards over the edge of the crate. On the other hand, the bottle shouldn't stand too deep in the crate either, since that's not an attractive sight for the consumer. In addition, when the empty bottles are usually removed in a fully automated manner, handling is made more difficult when the bottles are too deep in the container. This is caused by the fact that the devices used for this purpose, so-called unpackers, move their removal tulips over the top of the bottle in order to lift the bottle out of the container. If the bottles are now very deep in the container, this procedure is almost impossible. Consequently, transport containers for short bottles have a low height. However, this may have disadvantages when transporting the crates in the filling and cleaning systems, since the systems should usually be able to transport different crate formats. This may not be guaranteed with flat boxes.

Um eine Förderung von Kästen für kurze Flaschen auf einer üblichen Förderanlage zu ermöglichen und gleichzeitig den oben genannten Anforderungen vollständig zu genügen, ist aus der DE 20 202010 1 629 U1 ein Transportbehälter bekannt, bei dem der Boden, auf dem die Flaschen aufstehen, gegenüber der Unterseite des Kastens erhöht angeordnet ist, so dass eine Art Aussparung gebildet ist. Zwar erfüllt der Kasten die oben genannten Anforderungen und weist zudem eine Gesamthöhe auf, die für eine Beförderung auf üblichen Anlagen geeignet ist. Allerdings hat sich herausgestellt, dass die Beförderung auf den Anlagen aufgrund der bodenseitigen Aussparung unter Umständen problematisch ist, weil die Förderanlagen in der Regel mit Förderketten arbeiten, die schmaler sind als der Kasten in Förderposition breit ist. Durch die Aussparung auf der Unterseite des Kastens können die Ketten am Kasten nicht großflächig angreifen, was für eine störungsfreie Beförderung nachtteilig ist. Hinzu kommt, dass die Stabilität des Kastens aufgrund der Aussparung nicht ausreichend ist. Flaschenkästen müssen nach den gesetzlichen Vorgaben einen Sturz aus 3 m Höhe bei vollständiger Befüllung unbeschadet überstehen. Bei dem bekannten Flaschenkasten kann ein solcher Sturz aber ein Durchfedern des Bodens zur Folge haben, was zu einem Bruch des Bodens führen kann.In order to allow a promotion of crates for short bottles on a conventional conveyor system while fully meeting the above requirements, is from DE 20 202010 1 629 U1 a transport container is known in which the floor on which the bottles stand is arranged elevated relative to the underside of the box, so that a kind of recess is formed. The box does meet the above requirements and also has an overall height that is suitable for transport on conventional systems. However, it has been found that transport on the systems can be problematic due to the recess in the floor, because the conveyor systems usually work with conveyor chains that are narrower than the box is wide in the conveying position. Through the recess on the bottom of the box, the chains on Do not attack the box over a large area, which is disadvantageous for trouble-free transport. In addition, the stability of the box is not sufficient due to the recess. According to legal requirements, bottle crates must be able to withstand a fall from a height of 3 m when they are completely full. In the case of the known bottle crate, however, such a fall can result in the floor sagging, which can lead to the floor breaking.

Aus der GB 943,947 bzw. der EP 2 450 285 A1 sind Transportbehälter bekannt, die im Bereich des Stapelrandes mit einem Boden verbundene Versteifungsrippen aufweisen. Diese vorbekannten Transportbehälter weisen aber keinen zum Aufstellrand beabstandet angeordneten Boden auf, vielmehr schließt der Boden unmittelbar an dem Aufstellrand an. Somit sind diese Transportbehälter auch nicht für Flaschen mit geringerer Höhe geeignet und zusammen mit Transportbehältern für Flaschen größerer Höhe zu handhaben.From the GB943,947 or the EP 2 450 285 A1 Transport containers are known which have stiffening ribs connected to a base in the region of the stacking edge. However, these previously known transport containers do not have a base arranged at a distance from the erection edge, rather the base directly adjoins the erection edge. Thus, these transport containers are not suitable for bottles with a lower height and are to be handled together with transport containers for bottles of greater height.

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Transportbehälter für Flaschen, Gläser oder dergleichen zu schaffen, der für Flaschen oder Gläser geringer Höhe geeignet ist, gleichzeitig aber auf üblichen Förderanlagen problemlos befördert werden kann und eine ausreichende Stabilität aufweist. Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Schutzanspruchs 1 gelöst.Against this background, the invention is based on the object of creating a transport container for bottles, glasses or the like which is suitable for bottles or glasses of a small height, but which can also be transported on conventional conveyor systems without any problems and has sufficient stability. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Mit der Erfindung ist ein Transportbehälter für Flaschen, Gläser oder dergleichen geschaffen, der sowohl den Anforderungen in Bezug sowohl auf die Optik und Stabilität als auch in Bezug auf die Förderbarkeit genügt. Durch das Vorsehen der Rippen ist eine größere Fläche geschaffen, welche die Möglichkeiten der Beförderung verbessert. Gleichzeitig ist die Stabilität des Behälters mit derjenigen üblicher Behälter vergleichbar, so dass im Falle eines Sturzes das Durchfedern des Bodens verhindert ist.With the invention, a transport container for bottles, glasses or the like is created which satisfies the requirements in terms of both the appearance and stability as well as in terms of conveyability. By providing the ribs, a larger area is created, which improves the possibilities of transportation. At the same time, the stability of the container is comparable to that of conventional containers, so that the floor is prevented from sagging in the event of a fall.

Es sind wenigstens zwei Rippen vorgesehen, die sich diagonal entlang des Bodens erstrecken. Durch eine Erhöhung der Zahl an Rippen lassen sich die Eigenschaften für eine zuverlässige Beförderung und Stabilität weiter verbessern.There are at least two ribs extending diagonally along the bottom. By increasing the number of ribs, the properties for reliable conveyance and stability can be further improved.

Weiterhin kreuzen sich die Rippen in der Mitte des Bodens. Hierdurch ist eine x-förmige Anordnung der Rippen geschaffen, so dass die Beförderungseinrichtungen eine sehr großflächig an der Unterseite des Behälters angreifen können.Furthermore, the ribs cross in the middle of the bottom. This creates an x-shaped arrangement of the ribs, so that the conveying devices can act on the underside of the container over a very large area.

In anderer Weiterbildung der Erfindung verlaufen jeweils zwei Rippen parallel zueinander. Auch hierdurch ist eine verbesserte Förderbarkeit und Stabilität hervorgerufen.In another development of the invention, two ribs each run parallel to one another. This also results in improved transportability and stability.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind auf der der Aufstellrand zugewandten Seite des Bodens Stege ausgebildet. Bevorzugt sind die Stege abschnittsweise mit einer Schräge versehen. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht ein Abführen von Wasser vom Boden des Behälters nach unten, was insbesondere nach der Reinigung wichtig ist, um ein schnelles Trocknen zu ermöglichen. Die Schrägen sind dabei derart angeordnet, dass sie von Mittelpunkt des Einstellplatzes für eine Flasche wegweisen. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass ggf. noch am Gefache anhaftendes Wasser beim Stapeln von Kästen auf eine unmittelbar darunter positionierte Flasche tropft.In an embodiment of the invention, webs are formed on the side of the floor facing the erection edge. The webs are preferably provided with a bevel in sections. This configuration enables water to be drained downwards from the bottom of the container, which is particularly important after cleaning in order to enable rapid drying. The slopes are arranged in such a way that they point away from the center of the parking space for a bottle. This prevents any water still adhering to the partition from dripping onto a bottle positioned directly below when crates are stacked.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Stege an einem Ende jeweils mit einem Radius versehen. Auch der Radius an den Stegen führt zu einem verbesserten Abführen von Wasser, so dass auch durch dieses Merkmal das Abführen von Wasser verbessert wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the webs are each provided with a radius at one end. The radius on the webs also leads to improved drainage of water, so that this feature also improves the drainage of water.

Bei dem als Ausführungsbeispiel gewählten Transportbehälter handelt es sich um einen Flaschenkasten. Er weist einen Boden 1 auf, von dem sich Ecksäulen 2 vertikal erstrecken. Die Ecksäulen 2 sind durch Seitenwände 3, 4 miteinander verbunden, wobei die Seitenwände 3 die Stirnseiten und die Seitenwände 4 die Längsseiten des Flaschenkastens bilden. Der Flaschenkasten ist an seinem dem Boden 1 abgewandten Ende mit einer Abschlusskante 5 versehen. Im Bereich der Seitenwände 3 verbindet die Abschlusskante 5 die Ecksäulen 2 an ihrem dem Boden 1 abgewandten Ende miteinander. In den Seitenwänden 3, 4 ist jeweils eine Grifföffnung 6 ausgebildet.The transport container selected as an exemplary embodiment is a bottle crate. It has a floor 1 from which corner columns 2 extend vertically. The corner columns 2 are connected to one another by side walls 3, 4, the side walls 3 forming the end faces and the side walls 4 forming the longitudinal sides of the bottle crate. The bottle crate is provided with a closing edge 5 at its end facing away from the bottom 1 . In the area of the side walls 3, the terminating edge 5 connects the corner columns 2 to one another at their end remote from the floor 1. In the side walls 3, 4 a handle opening 6 is formed.

Auf der der Abschlusskante 5 abgewandten Seite ist an dem Flaschenkasten ein Aufstellrand 7 ausgebildet, der gleichzeitig als Stapelhilfe fungiert. Der Aufstellrand 7 erstreckt sich im Ausführungsbeispiel ringsum entlang des Flaschenkastens. In Abwandlung des Ausführungsbeispiels besteht auch die Möglichkeit, den Aufstellrand 7 lediglich bereichsweise vorzusehen, beispielsweise lediglich in den Ecken des Flaschenkastens.On the side facing away from the closing edge 5, a standing edge 7 is formed on the bottle crate, which at the same time acts as a stacking aid. The edge 7 extends in the exemplary embodiment all around along the bottle crate. In a modification of the exemplary embodiment, there is also the possibility of only providing the raising edge 7 in certain areas, for example only in the corners of the bottle crate.

Der Boden 1 hat eine gitterförmige Struktur. Auf dem Boden 1 ist in dem Flaschenkasten ein Gefache 8 vorgesehen. Das Gefache 8 ist von Pinolen 9 und einer Mittelwand 10 gebildet. Die Pinolen 9 erstrecken sich senkrecht vom Boden 1. Die Pinolen 9 sind zur Einsparung von Material und damit zur Einsparung von Gewicht hohl ausgebildet. Die Höhe der Pinolen 9 entspricht etwa der halben Höhe des Flaschenkastens. Die Mittelwand 10 erstreckt sich entlang der Längsmittellinie des Flaschenkastens zwischen den stirnseitigen Seitenwänden 3. Die Pinolen 9 sind mit der Mittelwand 10 derart zueinander ausgerichtet, dass sie in der Draufsicht Einstellplätze für die Flaschen ausbilden. Sie stützen gemeinsam mit der Mittelwand 10 beim Transport die in das Gefache eingestellten Flaschen, von denen eine Flasche exemplarisch in der Zeichnung dargestellt ist.The bottom 1 has a grid-like structure. On the floor 1 a compartment 8 is provided in the bottle crate. The compartment 8 is formed by sleeves 9 and a central wall 10 . The quills 9 extend perpendicularly from the base 1. The quills 9 are hollow to save material and thus to save weight. The height of the quills 9 corresponds to about half the height of the bottle crate. The center wall 10 extends along the longitudinal center line of the bottle crate between the front side walls 3. The sleeves 9 are aligned with the center wall 10 to one another in such a way that they form parking spaces for the bottles when viewed from above. Together with the central wall 10, they support the bottles placed in the compartment during transport, one bottle of which is shown as an example in the drawing.

Der Boden 1 ist zu dem Aufstellrand 7 beabstandet angeordnet. Es ergibt sich daraus eine erhöhte Anordnung des Bodens 1 zum Aufstellrand 7, wodurch eine Art Aussparung an der Unterseite des Bodens 1 ausgebildet ist. An der Unterseite des Bodens 1 sind Rippen 11 vorgesehen, deren Höhe im Wesentlichen dem Abstand des Bodens 1 zum Aufstellrand 7 entspricht. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind vier Rippen 11 vorgesehen, von denen jeweils zwei Rippen 11 parallel zueinander verlaufen. Die jeweils zwei parallel zueinander verlaufenden Rippen 11 erstrecken sich diagonal entlang des Bodens 1. Die beiden Paare der parallel zueinander verlaufenden Rippen 11 kreuzen sich etwa in der Mitte des Bodens 1.The base 1 is arranged at a distance from the mounting edge 7 . This results in an elevated arrangement of the floor 1 in relation to the raised edge 7, as a result of which a kind of recess is formed on the underside of the floor 1. Ribs 11 are provided on the underside of the base 1, the height of which essentially corresponds to the distance between the base 1 and the edge 7 for standing. In the exemplary embodiment, four ribs 11 are provided, of which two ribs 11 run parallel to one another. The two parallel ribs 11 extend diagonally along the base 1. The two pairs of parallel ribs 11 cross approximately in the middle of the base 1.

Auf der dem Aufstellrand 7 zugewandten (Unter-)Seite des Bodens 1 sind Stege 12 ausgebildet, welche die gitterförmige Struktur nach unten in Richtung des Aufstellrands 7 verlängern. Die Stege 12 sind abschnittsweise mit einer Schräge 121 versehen. An ihrem der jeweiligen Schräge 121 abgewandten Ende sind die Stege 12 jeweils mit einem Radius 122 versehen.Webs 12 are formed on the (lower) side of the base 1 facing the standing edge 7 , which extend the grid-like structure downwards in the direction of the standing edge 7 . The webs 12 are provided with a bevel 121 in sections. At their end facing away from the respective bevel 121 are the webs 12 are each provided with a radius 122.
