Abstract

The vessel is esp. for wine. It has an intermediate bottom separating the chambers and convex-curved towards the bottom one. The intermediate bottom (5) is butt-welded to the bottom edge of the top-chamber sidewall (2') and flush with it. At its top edge (13), the bottom chamber (7) sidewall (2") is of smaller dia. (D1) than the sidewall of the top chamber (6). This edge is butt-welded continuously from the outside to the convex-curved portion of the intermediate bottom. The dia. of the bottom-chamber sidewall can be the same as that of the top-chamber sidewall, it being bent inwards at the top edge.

Description

Izum se odnosi na okomito stojeći valjkasti spremnik sa nekoliko komora za tekućine, naročito vino, prema glavnom pojmu patentnog zahtjeva 1. The invention relates to a vertically standing cylindrical container with several chambers for liquids, especially wine, according to the main term of patent claim 1.

U vinarskim podrumima kao i vinogradarskim pogonima sve se više primjenjuju u zadnje vrijeme okomito stojeći valjkasti spremnici iz plemenitog (nehrđajućeg) čelika, jer se u njima mogu spremiti vina savršeno higijenski na manjem prostoru. Takovi su spremnici opremljeni osim otvora za ulaz čovjeka u spremnik i sa otvorima za otzračenje kao i priključcima za punjenje i pražnjenje te uobičajenim instrumentima i armaturom koji dozvoljavaju stalnu kontrolu i nadzor sadržaja. Recently, vertically standing cylindrical containers made of precious (stainless) steel have been used more and more in wine cellars as well as in viticulture plants, because they can store wines perfectly hygienically in a smaller space. Such containers are equipped, in addition to the opening for human entry into the container, with air vents as well as filling and emptying connections and the usual instruments and fittings that allow constant control and monitoring of the contents.

Takovi se spremnici uobičajeno sastoje iz plašta valjka sa podnicom i poklopcem te nogama za postavljanje na pod. Podnica i poklopac izvedeni su zaobljeno poput kalote i na rubovima su zavareni s rubovima plašta valjka. Such containers usually consist of a roller shell with a floor and a lid and legs for placing on the floor. The floor and cover are made rounded like a calotte and are welded on the edges with the edges of the roller shell.

Kako bi se na manjem prostoru mogla smjestiti manja količina raznih vina, poznato je da se mogu smjestiti dva ili više spremnika te vrste jedan iznad drugoga. Kod toga je moguće, s jedne strane, pojedine spremnike naslagati jedan na drugoga. U tom je slučaju svaki spremnik jedinka za sebe i samo se jednim posebnim nosačem naslanjaju jedan na drugoga u okomitom položaju. Kako su podnice i poklopci izvedeni u obliku kalote a osim toga iz tih podnica izlaze odvodi za istakanje, a iz poklopca odvodi za ozračivanje, mora postojati znatan razmak među spremnicima, koji je gubitak u vrijednom prostoru za slaganje spremnika. In order to accommodate a smaller amount of various wines in a smaller space, it is known that two or more containers of this type can be placed one above the other. In this case, it is possible, on the one hand, to stack individual containers on top of each other. In this case, each tank is an individual by itself and they are only supported by one special support in a vertical position. Since the floors and covers are made in the form of a calotte, and in addition, the drains for highlighting come out of these floors, and the drains for irradiation come out of the cover, there must be a considerable distance between the tanks, which is a waste of valuable space for stacking the tanks.

Osim toga poznati su višekomorni spremnici, kod kojih su unutar plašta valjka, izvedenog po cijeloj visini korisnog prostora, pomoću umetnutih nekoliko podnica stvorene komore koje su sa unutarnje strane opremljene s priključcima za ispuštanje i odzračivanje kao i ostalim agregatima. Kod tih je višekomornih spremnika problematične ugradnja zaobljenih podnica. In addition, multi-chamber tanks are known, in which chambers are created inside the shell of the roller, which extends over the entire height of the useful space, with the help of inserted several floors, which are equipped on the inside with connections for draining and venting as well as other aggregates. In the case of these multi-chamber tanks, the installation of rounded floors is problematic.

Umetnute podnice imaju presjek, kao i podnice na kraju spremnika te kao i poklopci, krivulje koja u obliku luka košare na vanjskim rubovima prelazi u kružni luk sa manjim polumjerom prelazi u plašt spremnika, dok srednji dio podnice ima daleko veći polumjer zakrivljenja. The inserted floors have a section, like the floors at the end of the tank and like the lids, a curve that in the shape of the arc of the basket on the outer edges turns into a circular arc with a smaller radius into the shell of the tank, while the middle part of the floor has a much larger radius of curvature.

Kod spremnika kojima je plašt iz jednog komada po cijeloj visini mora se međupodnica zavariti na željenoj visini po cijelom opsegu za plašt spremnika sa unutarnje strane. Varilački radovi u unutarnjoj strani plašta spremnika su zbog uskog prostora i kod same izrade skupi i opasni. In the case of tanks with a one-piece jacket over the entire height, the intermediate floor must be welded at the desired height along the entire circumference of the tank jacket on the inside. Due to the narrow space, welding work in the inner side of the tank shell is expensive and dangerous.

Glavni problem kod unutra zavarene međupodnice leži u tome, što se na taj način sa donje strane stvara jedan trokutasti (u presjeku) prsten koji se suzuje prema gore te se kao takav teško čisti. To se pokušalo riješiti s obratnim prstenom koji je, ali, morao biti zavaren kako za plašt spremnika tako i za podnice, dakle dva varna spoja koja se također moraju izvesti sa unutarnje strane spremnika. The main problem with internally welded intermediate floors lies in the fact that, in this way, a triangular (in cross-section) ring is created on the underside, which narrows upwards, and as such is difficult to clean. An attempt was made to solve this with a reverse ring, which, however, had to be welded both to the shell of the tank and to the floors, so two welded joints that also had to be made on the inside of the tank.

U tim problemima leži osnovni zadatak izuma, tj. izraditi spremnik sa više komora koji će, na po mogućnosti jednostavan način, ukloniti nepoželjan prsten koji se teško čisti te proizvodnju i čišćenje takovog spremnika olakšati i učiniti sigurnijom. In these problems lies the basic task of the invention, i.e. to create a multi-chamber container that will, in the simplest possible way, remove an undesirable ring that is difficult to clean, and make the production and cleaning of such a container easier and safer.

Taj će se zadatak prema izumu riješiti kako je naznačeno prijedlogom u zahtjevu 1. According to the invention, this task will be solved as indicated by the proposal in claim 1.

Daljnje prednosti proizlaze iz podzahtjeva. Further benefits arise from sub-requirements.

Osnovna misao izuma leži u tome, da se gornja komora spremnika izvede kao pojedinačni spremnik, kod kojega je podnica u obliku kalote istog promjera kao i donji rub plašta spremnika i s njime zavarena, a da plašt donjeg spremnika ima gornji rub plašta zakrivljen prema unutra, pa se tako spaja sa krivinom podnice gornje komore, a ta postaje međupodnica. Takovim oblikovanjem nije riješeno samo pitanje uskog i teškog za čišćenje kuta, već se donji plašt komore vari izvana za podnicu gornje komore pa je prema tom potreban samo jedan vareni šav koji se vari izvana, pa stoga jednostavno, sigurno i bezopasno za varioca, a time i jeftinije nego jedan šav unutar spremnika, a ujedno je mogućnost čišćenja donje komore (nema šiljka) znatno bolja. The basic idea of the invention lies in the fact that the upper chamber of the tank is made as a single tank, where the floor is in the form of a calotte of the same diameter as the lower edge of the tank shell and is welded to it, and that the shell of the lower tank has the upper edge of the shell curved inwards, so is thus connected to the curve of the floor of the upper chamber, and it becomes an intermediate floor. Such a design not only solved the issue of a narrow and difficult to clean corner, but the lower shell of the chamber is welded from the outside to the floor of the upper chamber, so only one welded seam is needed, which is welded from the outside, and therefore simple, safe and harmless for the welder, and thus and cheaper than a single seam inside the tank, and at the same time the possibility of cleaning the lower chamber (no spike) is much better.

Izum će biti pobliže objašnjen pomoću priloženog nacrta sa izvedbenim primjerom. The invention will be explained in more detail using the attached drawing with an exemplary embodiment.

Slika 1. Nacrt višekomornog spremnika prema izumu. Figure 1. Design of a multi-chamber container according to the invention.

Slika 2. Prikazuje detalj II, tj. presjek na kojem se vidi oblikovanje plašta donje komore i spoj sa podnicom gornje komore. Figure 2. Shows detail II, i.e. a cross-section showing the formation of the lower chamber mantle and the connection with the floor of the upper chamber.

Na sl. 1. prikazan je nacrt, prema izumu, okomito stojećeg višekomornog spremnika 1, koji se sastoji od vanjskog plašta 2 sa zakrivljenom podnicom u obliku kalote 3, i isto tako oblikovanim poklopcem 4. U višekomornom spremniku 1 prikazana je - crtkano - međupodnica 5 gornje komore i oblik jedne donje komore 7. Višekomorni spremnik počiva na tri noge 8. Svaka komora 6 i 7 opremljena je na poznati način sa otvorom za ulazak čovjeka 9, lukom za istjecanje tj. pražnjenje 10, kao i otvorom za odzračivanje 11. Kod toga prolazi luk za istjecanje 10 gornje komore 6 kroz gornji prostor donje komore 7 prema van. Ostala 1 armatura, posebice otvori za odzračivanje za obje komore 6 i 7 mogu se zanemariti u ovom slučaju. Fig. 1 shows a design, according to the invention, of a vertically standing multi-chamber tank 1, which consists of an outer shell 2 with a curved floor in the form of a calotte 3, and a similarly shaped cover 4. In the multi-chamber tank 1, an intermediate floor is shown - in dashes 5 upper chambers and the shape of one lower chamber 7. The multi-chamber tank rests on three legs 8. Each chamber 6 and 7 is equipped in a known manner with an opening for the entry of a person 9, an exit port, i.e. emptying 10, as well as a ventilation opening 11. In this case, the outflow arc 10 of the upper chamber 6 passes through the upper space of the lower chamber 7 to the outside. The other 1 fittings, especially the vents for both chambers 6 and 7 can be ignored in this case.

Sl. 2. prikazuje okomiti presjek kroz mjesto pričvršćenja između podnice 5 na vanjski plašt 2 prema detalju II na sl. 1 samo u većem mjerilu. Sl. 2 shows a vertical section through the point of attachment between the floor 5 to the outer shell 2 according to detail II in Fig. 1 only on a larger scale.

Iz toga se raspoznaje kako je temeljni oblik međupodnice 5 u srednjem dijelu izveden sa zakrivljenjem polumjera R1 a na vanjskom rubu s jačim zakrivljenjem tj. manjim polumjerom R2 i prelazi svojim rubom u donji dio plašta 2’ gornje komore i s njim je tupo zavaren šavom 12. Plašt 2’ ima promjer D0. Plašt 2’’ donje komore 7 koji ima isto u srednjem dijelu promjer D0, na svojem je gornjem rubu 13 svinut po cijeloj liniji 14 a za kut alfa prema unutra. Zbog toga taj rub 13 udara odozdo i izvana na rubno područje međupodnice 5 i s njom je zavaren varnim šavom 15. Oba varna šava, kako šav 12 tako i šav 15, mogu se izvesti izvana. Veličina kuta alfa može se izabrati u ovisnosti od zakrivljenja međupodnice 5 na određenom mjestu; on uglavnom iznosi oko 45°. From this, it can be seen that the basic shape of the intermediate floor 5 in the middle part is made with a curvature of the radius R1 and on the outer edge with a stronger curvature, i.e. a smaller radius R2 and passes with its edge into the lower part of the mantle 2' of the upper chamber and is butt-welded with it by seam 12. The shell 2' has a diameter of D0. The mantle 2'' of the lower chamber 7, which has the same diameter D0 in the middle part, is bent on its upper edge 13 along the entire line 14 a for the angle alpha inwards. For this reason, this edge 13 hits from below and from the outside on the edge area of the intermediate floor 5 and is welded to it with a welding seam 15. Both welding seams, both seam 12 and seam 15, can be made from the outside. The size of the angle alpha can be chosen depending on the curvature of the intermediate floor 5 in a certain place; it is mostly around 45°.

Iz sl. 2 može se razabrati, da je zbog rubnog područja 13 plašta 2’’ donje komore 7, koji ona ograničava, stvoren presjek trokutastog oblika 16, koji se može lako i temeljito čistiti prskanjem iznutra, što je za skladištenjem osjetljivih dobara kao što je vino od vrlo velikog značenja. Ako se otvor za odzračivanje 11 donje komore nalazi u tom području, onda je postignuto potpuno odzračenje donje komore 7, pa se tako može spriječiti oksidacija osjetljivih vina. Luk za odvodnju 10 gornje komore 6 vodi se kroz gornji dio donje komore 7, tako da je moguće potpuno pražnjenje gornje komore 6 vodi se kroz gornji dio komore 7, tako da je moguće potpuno pražnjenje gornje komore 6. It can be seen from Fig. 2 that due to the edge area 13 of the mantle 2'' of the lower chamber 7, which it limits, a triangular section 16 has been created, which can be easily and thoroughly cleaned by spraying from the inside, which is for storing sensitive goods such as is a wine of great significance. If the venting opening 11 of the lower chamber is located in that area, then the complete venting of the lower chamber 7 is achieved, so the oxidation of sensitive wines can be prevented. The drainage arc 10 of the upper chamber 6 is led through the upper part of the lower chamber 7, so that it is possible to completely empty the upper chamber 6 is led through the upper part of the chamber 7, so that it is possible to completely empty the upper chamber 6.

Potkraj ovdje navedenih oblika izvedbi postoji cijeli niz daljnjih mogućnosti oblikovanja rubnog područja 13 plašta 2’’ - donje komore 7, tako da je priključeni promjer D1 manji od promjera D0 plašta 2’ gornje komore 6, pa sve do mogućnosti da se izvede plašt 2’’ donje komore 7 po cijeloj visini sa promjerom D1. At the end of the forms of execution mentioned here, there is a whole series of further possibilities for shaping the edge area 13 of the mantle 2'' - the lower chamber 7, so that the connected diameter D1 is smaller than the diameter D0 of the mantle 2' of the upper chamber 6, up to the possibility of making the mantle 2' ' of the lower chamber 7 along the entire height with a diameter of D1.

Važno je za izum samo da spojni šav plašta 2’’ donje komore sa plaštem 2’, odnosno podnicom gornje komore u području jačega, tangencijalno prelazi u plašt valjka 2, isključuje zakrivljenje podnice 5 i pomaknut je prema unutra u odnosu na plašt valjka 2. It is important for the invention only that the connecting seam of the cover 2'' of the lower chamber with the cover 2', i.e. the floor of the upper chamber in the area of the stronger one, passes tangentially into the cover of the roller 2, excludes the curvature of the floor 5 and is moved inwards in relation to the cover of the roller 2.
