Description

Self-balancing container for loading and unloading of solid and liquid products.

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a container self-balancing for loading and unloading solid products and liquids, such as construction debris and debris, liquid concrete, water, bulk material.

Background of the invention

It is known the presence of containers that automatically tilt without the need for operators to act  Time to upload and download the content. For example, the model of utility ES 1059528 incorporating an upper arm; a gate folding and means for retaining and releasing said gate that they are based on a plate, a closing lever and a hook for retention in the closing position of the gate. With such characteristics, said container could only be used to load materials in solid state since there is no air tightness.

On the other hand, from the point of view constructive and therefore, of manufacturing parts and components replacement, such a model would require a higher cost.

Description of the invention

As stated above, this invention provides a universal self-balancing container for upload and download all kinds of products that you don't have gate for unloading the product it carries. Therefore no there is a need to manufacture elements and devices for closing and gate retention.

In addition, the model developed here guarantees a tightness such that a load can now be loaded liquid product, for example, concrete in liquid state or semi-liquid, without leaking anywhere.

Moreover, from a different design which now presents the element through which the lifting the container, that is, the support arm or beam, the Operator handling of the crane will be easier when it comes to Download the product.

Also, thanks to this arm or beam design, the container is completely upright, being made optimally the download operation.

The universal self-balancing container for Upload and download all kinds of products, present some features that are already present in those containers, such as, an approximately prismatic plant receptacle or slightly rectangular base wall and open top base, for the introduction of products, for example, stones, gravel, sand, liquid concrete, water, and a beam or arm provided with recesses or notches, spaced apart, through which a lifting means is introduced to lift and transport the container.

The container is characterized novelly because the receptacle has four walls that are facing each other each other, two to two, and that diverge upwards from of the base, being one of them of smaller height. So, the wall of lower height will make it easier to introduce both the product to be loaded by operators as their dump later in the right place.

The fact that the walls, two to two, diverge respect to the base of the receptacle will allow them to fit one inside the other, which will facilitate transportation and container storage.

The beam or arm, meanwhile, has three continuous sections: a first straight section that can be extracted and that runs under the floor or base wall of the receptacle, serving as support to the container at the time of being lifted; a second section that ascends parallel to the wall opposite of the lower wall and a third inclined section, provided of recesses for fixing a means responsible for lifting the container, whose angle of inclination faces the opening upper receptacle.

The first section is inserted through some gripping means arranged in the receptacle floor, remaining subject to it.

The second section of the beam is provided, in a  area near its lower end, that is, the one near to the base of the receptacle, of a recess or notch through which is fixed the lifting means in the position of tipped over.

The beam is removable by its first straight section, which allows the receptacles due to the configuration before exposed, they can be stacked on each other.

Optionally, and to further facilitate the product loading and unloading operation, the horizontal edge upper walls adjacent to lower wall presents a point of bankruptcy from which a section is defined edge that leans in the direction of the base of the receptacle. This inclined section will be delimited by the height to be given to the lesser wall of less height.

Description of a preferred embodiment

The invention will now be described, only by way of illustrative, by way of the following example that in no way should be considered as limiting the scope of the invention.

The universal self-balancing container (1) for loading and unloading all kinds of product includes a receptacle (2) approximately prismatic, floor or base wall slightly rectangular and with open top base, through which it introduce the product and a beam (3) provided with recesses or notches through which a lifting means is introduced (4).

The receptacle (2) has four walls that they are facing each other, two to two, and they diverge in sense ascending with respect to the base, being one of them (2a) of minor height.

The beam (3) has three continuous sections, a first straight section (3a) that is removable, which is inserted by under the receptacle floor (2) and is subject to it by means of grip; a second section (3b), which ascends in coincidence with the wall in front of the wall of lower height and a third inclined section (3c), provided with recesses or notches, whose angle of inclination faces the upper opening of the receptacle. Said first straight section (3a) supports the receptacle when lifting the container.

The beam (3) is also provided, in an area next to the lower end of its second section (3b), of a recess (5) through which the lifting means (4) are fixed. In this case the crane ring, in the dump position of the product, is hooked to said recess.

According to a preferred embodiment, the edge upper horizontal side walls adjacent to the wall of lower height (2a) presents a break point from which an edge section is defined that tilts towards the base of the receptacle (2).

The container (1), from an initial position of loading of products, such as sand, stones and concrete, is hoisted by a crane. In this position, the grip ring (4) is embedded in the recess closest to the free edge of the third inclined section (3c). After choosing the download site, it deposit the container (1) on the floor and the ring is introduced and fixed in the recess (5), arranged in the second section (3b). From This way, we proceed to dump the container. As seen in Figure 3, it is observed that the container is in position vertical with respect to the ground to download the product.

After unloading, the ring (4) is brought to an intermediate recess, which is close to the point where join the second (3b) and the third (3c) sections. Through this intermediate recess, container (1) gradually changes from the dump position to the initial position. So, for him operator will be easier to make the change from the position vertical, product discharge, to the initial position. Further, this implies a smaller lateral displacement of the container.

Claims (2)

1. Universal self-balancing container (1) for loading and unloading solid and liquid products, including an approximately prismatic receptacle (2) with a slightly rectangular base and an open top base and a beam (3) provided with recesses through which is introduced and fixed a lifting means (4), characterized in that the receptacle (2) has four walls that are facing each other, two to two, and that diverge upwardly with respect to the base, being one of they (2a) of lower height and because said beam (3) has three continuous sections: a first straight section (3a) removable, which runs below the base of the receptacle; a second section (3b) that ascends parallel to the wall facing the one with the lowest height and a third inclined section (3c), whose angle of inclination faces the upper opening of the receptacle (2), said second section presenting (3b ), next to the base of the receptacle (2), a recess (5) through which the lifting means (4) is fixed, in the dump position. 2. Self-balancing container, according to claim 1, characterized in that the upper horizontal edge of the side walls adjacent to the lower wall has a break (6) from which an edge section is defined which slopes towards the base of the receptacle (one).
