Description

Funda de aislamiento para contenedores para el transporte de mercancias. Insulation cover for containers for the transport of goods.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a una funda para aislamiento isotérmico de recipientes de carga para el transporte marítimo o fluvial, transporte terrestre y transporte multimodal, más conocidos como “contenedores”. The present invention relates to a cover for isothermal isolation of cargo containers for sea or river transport, land transport and multimodal transport, better known as "containers".

El objeto de la invención es proporcionar una funda de fácil y rápida instalación, que permita transformar un contenedor convencional en un contenedor isotermo, todo ello con unos costes reducidos y con un alto grado de eficacia. The object of the invention is to provide a cover for easy and quick installation, which makes it possible to transform a conventional container into an isothermal container, all with reduced costs and a high degree of efficiency.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En el ámbito de aplicación práctica de la invención, son conocidos contenedores isotermos para el transporte de mercancías que deban transportarse a una determinada baja temperatura, que evite que dichas mercancías puedan verse dañadas debido a su descongelación, manteniendo dichos productos a la temperatura adecuada, gracias a sus paredes aislantes, así como a instalaciones o sistemas de frío asociados a dichos contenedores. In the practical scope of the invention, isothermal containers are known for the transport of goods that must be transported at a certain low temperature, which prevents said goods from being damaged due to their defrosting, keeping said products at the proper temperature, thanks to its insulating walls, as well as to cold installations or systems associated with said containers.

Obviamente, este tipo de contenedores resultan óptimos para el transporte de este tipo de mercancías, pero sin embargo, no siempre se puede disponer de los mismos, por lo que en algunos casos no queda mas remedio que utilizar los contenedores convencionales para transporte de mercancías, los cuales no disponen de elementos de aislamiento térmico, con el consecuente riesgo de deterioro de la carga. Obviously, these types of containers are optimal for the transport of this type of goods, but nevertheless, they are not always available, so in some cases there is no choice but to use conventional containers for transporting goods, which do not have thermal insulation elements, with the consequent risk of load deterioration.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El dispositivo que se preconiza ha sido concebido para resolver la problemática anteriormente expuesta, de una forma sencilla pero de gran eficacia, permitiendo transformar un contenedor para transporte de mercancías en un contenedor isotermo, de forma rápida, y con un reducido coste. The device that has been recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, in a simple way but with great efficiency, allowing to transform a container for transporting goods into an isothermal container, quickly, and with a reduced cost.

Para ello, el dispositivo de la invención se materializa en una funda, destinada a implantarse cubriendo las paredes internas, techo y suelo del contenedor convencional. For this, the device of the invention is embodied in a sheath, intended to be implanted covering the internal walls, ceiling and floor of the conventional container.

De forma mas concreta, la funda esta constituida a partir de una lámina de politerftalato de etileno (PET) metalizada a la que va unida por medio de adhesivo una lámina de polietileno (PE). More specifically, the sheath is constituted from a sheet of metallized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to which a polyethylene sheet (PE) is attached by adhesive.

A partir de esta estructuración, la funda presenta una configuración prismático rectangular, de dimensiones acordes a las dimensiones internas del contenedor, con una de sus bases menores practicable, concretamente la base destinada a quedar enfrentada a las puertas de carga del contenedor, la cual podrá estabilizarse a la embocadura de la funda mediante una cremallera, velcro, corchetes o similares. From this structuring, the cover has a rectangular prismatic configuration, of dimensions according to the internal dimensions of the container, with one of its practicable minor bases, specifically the base destined to face the container loading doors, which may stabilize at the mouth of the case by means of a zipper, velcro, square brackets or similar.

Se ha previsto que para estabilizar la funda con respecto al techo del contenedor, la funda incorpore en correspondencia con al menos dos de sus aristas, concretamente las extremas, la funda incorpore, en sendos bolsillos o compartimentos asociados a la misma, barras telescópicas, que tiendan a la posición de máxima extensión por efecto de un resorte interno, de forma similar a las barras de las cortinas de ducha, de manera que estos elementos permitan fijar la cara superior de la funda sobre el techo del contenedor de forma sencilla y practicable, de modo que para contenedores de gran longitud se ha previsto que la funda pueda incorporar adicionalmente en compartimentos transversales alguna barra adicional para fijación al techo del contenedor. It is envisaged that to stabilize the cover with respect to the roof of the container, the cover incorporates in correspondence with at least two of its edges, specifically the ends, the cover incorporates, in individual pockets or compartments associated therewith, telescopic bars, which tend to the position of maximum extension by effect of an internal spring, similar to the bars of the shower curtains, so that these elements allow to fix the upper face of the cover on the roof of the container in a simple and practicable way, so that for long-term containers it is provided that the cover can additionally incorporate in the transverse compartments some additional bar for fixing to the roof of the container.

Paralelamente, y para evitar la formación de bolsas, y dejar correctamente tensada la funda, la misma se complementa con una serie de imanes, que se fijaran al cuerpo metálico del contenedor, obteniéndose un recubrimiento estanco sumamente eficaz. In parallel, and to avoid the formation of bags, and leave the case properly tensioned, it is complemented with a series of magnets, which will be fixed to the metal body of the container, obtaining a highly effective waterproof coating.

El dispositivo así descrito se comercializara debidamente plegado, con las barras ya insertas en sus compartimentos, de manera que el proceso de instalación resulte lo mas rápido y sencillo, consistiendo en desplegar la funda sobre el suelo del contenedor, con la cara practicable orientada hacia la salida o boca de acceso del contenedor, y con la cara de dicha funda en la que se encuentran las barras de fijación orientada hacia arriba, de manera que en primera instancia se adaptara la barra telescópica del fondo de la funda al techo del contenedor, para posteriormente y una vez desplegada convenientemente la funda fijar la barra correspondiente al extremo posterior, tras lo que se procederá a la fijación de los imanes en los puntos que se estime conveniente para evitar la formación de bolsas, de modo que una vez inserta la carga a transportar, se procederá a cerrar la base practicable, previamente enrollada, mediante su correspondiente cremallera, Velcro ® o elemento de cierre de que se trate, obteniéndose así un cierre isotermo. The device thus described will be sold properly folded, with the bars already inserted in their compartments, so that the installation process is as quick and simple as possible, consisting of deploying the cover on the floor of the container, with the practicable face oriented towards the exit or mouth of access of the container, and with the face of said cover in which are the fixing bars oriented upwards, so that in the first instance the telescopic bar of the bottom of the cover is adapted to the roof of the container, to subsequently and once the cover is conveniently deployed, fix the corresponding bar to the rear end, after which the magnets will be fixed at the points deemed convenient to avoid the formation of bags, so that once the load is inserted transport, the practicable base, previously rolled, will be closed by means of its corresponding zipper, Velcro ® or closing element e in question, thus obtaining an isothermal closure.
