Description

連接器組件
本發明的主題整體係關於工業包裝產品領域,具體而言,本發明係關於可在多個桶之間進行連接的連接器組件。
工業包裝產品包含桶、容器、箱子、紙質包裝等。每年,在堆疊或拆卸、放入或取出這些產品時都會發生事故。其中許多事故很嚴重,有些甚至是致命的。雖然這些危害始終存在,但適當的工作實踐(例如儘量減少處理與使用將工作人員與有害物質隔離的設備與程式)可以最大幅地減少現場人員的風險。目前存在著各種各樣的儲存系統與堆疊方法。
工業包裝產品可用於運輸有毒、有害、黏稠、昂貴與易爆的化學物質。因此,在堆疊時以正確的順序連接所有的桶是非常重要的。當堆疊桶時,桶的底面通常在底部的桶的蓋上滑動,從而影響堆疊本身的穩定性。因此,堆疊的桶/容器需要定位與保持,使得在將桶/容器堆疊組件移動或移位時不會發生事故。
在用於防止以兩個或更多個為一組儲存的桶或容器的非預期移動或移位的現有方法之一中,芯構件位於桶或容器之中或之間,並且使用至少一個加壓構件或使桶或容器向內直接緊鄰芯構件。芯構件可經特別配置而進行嵌套或安置,進而成為使單獨的桶或容器牢固地抵靠芯構件 的態樣。加壓構件可包含任何適當類型的加壓設備或製品,包含帶、箍、塑膠收縮包裝、纜繩、鏈等。然而,利用加壓構件保持容器/桶是有風險的,因為加壓構件可能無法連續地將壓力施加在容器上,因此必然會釋放桶/容器,從而分離分組的容器/桶,從而最終導致容器/桶運輸期間的意外/危險狀況。
此外,市場上還有其他可用於在包裝或運輸時連接多個桶的方法/設備/裝置。然而,這些各種方法/設備具有若干缺陷/限制,包含但不限於膨脹性、腐蝕性、易碎性、成本高,易於在運輸時產生裂縫、較小的拉伸強度、較小的柔韌性與較小的應力處理能力等。因此,長期以來需要一種能夠在多個桶之間進行連接的改進的組裝,同時堆疊與運輸具有良好的柔性、輕質、良好的拉伸與應力處理能力的桶,從而減輕了現有方法與裝置/設備的缺點/限制。
本發明內容旨在導入與可在多個桶之間進行連接的連接器組件相關的概念。本發明內容的主旨並非在於標識所要求保護的主題的基本特徵,其主旨亦不在於用以確定或限制所要求保護的主題的範圍。
在一個實施方式中,本發明內文描述了一種連接器組件。連接器可包含多個U形夾緊裝置,其在連接器的多個緣處經由多個耦合元件與連接器相連。在一個面向上,每個夾緊裝置的第一部分與耦合元件之一耦合。此外,垂直於第一部分的第二部分係用以同時從外部加強環的內外部夾緊桶的外部加強環,使得連接器由多個桶包圍並放置在桶的外部加強 環的底面下方,從而為放置在托盤上的多個桶提供固定約束。連接器可更包含螺桿接頭,其包含從連接器的中心延伸並緊固在位於桶下方的托盤處的螺桿。螺桿接頭可係用以將連接器與托盤鎖定。螺桿可用作連接器與托盤之間的連桿。
此外,連接器可包含多個表面波紋,其為連接器的表面提供強度,以在鎖定與保持多個桶的同時克服拉伸載重與彎曲載重。連接器可更包含在連接器的表面上的多個切口。多個切口可以減少切口處的應力集中,從而增加連接器的載重能力。此外,多個切口可以減輕連接器的重量。此外,多個切口可允許滲水或任何液體成分積聚在連接器上。此外,多個切口可以提供檢查螺桿接頭的螺桿是否固定在托盤內的適當位置。

接著參考圖6,所示為從多個桶501夾緊桶的連接器101的放大圖600。在一實施例中,包含在連接器101中的加強環保持器104可為U形,其包含第一部分104a與第二部分104b。該U形環保持器104的第一部分104a可為連續平坦結構,其中,該連續平坦結構垂直於第二部分104b。平坦結構可具有連續的延伸部,且其中,耦合元件可鎖定在該連續的延伸部中。第二部分104b可包含兩個金屬凸條,其中,該金屬凸條可經配置為同時從該外部加強環504的內外部夾緊桶的外部加強環504,以便在夾緊之後阻止桶的移動性。
在一個實施例中,如圖5和圖7所示出,每個桶501的至少一個側壁可進一步可選地包括排出閥503。可選地設置的排出閥503可完全固定在形成在所述至少一個側壁的下表面上的腔內,使得包含在每個桶101中的最低液位的流體可從排出閥503排出。排出閥503可包括能夠啟動或停止包含在每個桶501中的流體的流動的操作手柄。
在一實施例中,耦合元件可由金屬或塑膠製成。夾緊可為放 置在托盤502上的多個桶501提供固定約束。在一實施例中,連接器組件可更包含螺桿接頭103,其中,螺桿接頭103可更包含從連接器101的中心延伸並緊固在托盤502的中心處的螺桿301。在一實施例中,螺釘301在托盤502上的緊固可通過圖9所示的金屬嵌件900實現。在一實施例中,螺桿301可由金屬或類似材料製成,但不限於此類材料。
圖8說明根據本發明之一實施例的桶堆疊組件與連接器101的橫剖面圖800。在一實施例中,桶堆疊組件可包含放置在托盤(圖中未顯示)上的第一組桶501的第一堆疊。借助於連接器組件,第一組桶501可彼此相對放置在托盤中。連接器組件的連接器101可固定在該托盤中,使得第一組桶501可圍繞連接器101被包圍。連接器101可放置在距離第一組桶501的頂部的預定距離處,並且可經由夾緊裝置104與第一組桶501夾緊。在一實施例中,連接器101到夾緊裝置104的固定可經由鏈105來執行。在一實施例中,連接器組件的螺桿接頭103可使螺桿301的一端固定在連接器101的上表面上,另一端固定在托盤上。在一實施例中,可將第二組桶(未顯示)的第二堆疊放置在第一組桶501的第一堆疊的上方。在一實施例中,第二堆疊可包含裝配在第一組桶501的第一堆疊上的托盤502。托盤502的一個或多個支腳可嚙合在第一堆疊的該桶501的外部加強環504中。在一實施例中,托盤502還可根據連接器組件的尺寸而開槽,使得連接器101可位於托盤502的中心凹槽下方。在一實施例中,借助於金屬嵌件(未顯示),第二堆疊的下端螺桿301可固定在底面處的托盤502上。
參考圖9,根據發明的實施例,所示為用於插入與固定螺桿301的金屬嵌件900。在一實施例中,金屬嵌件900可以將螺釘301插入與 預定固定在托盤502內。金屬嵌件900可將適當的緊固提供給托盤502中心處的螺桿301。金屬嵌件900可經配置用於經由螺紋901與斜緣902將螺桿301引導到托盤502中。
參考圖10a與圖10b,分別顯示根據本發明之一實施例的金屬嵌件900的橫剖面圖與固定有托盤502的金屬嵌件900的橫剖面圖。在一實施例中,金屬嵌件900可固定在該托盤502中心的托盤502的底面處。金屬嵌件900可包含中心部分,用於經由螺紋901與一個或多個斜緣902與螺桿301嚙合。中心部分可從托盤502的俯視圖可見。在一實施例中,金屬嵌件900包含一個或多個斜緣902,用於提供耐磨性、美觀性且便於配合。在一實施例中,金屬嵌件900可從該托盤502的底部固定到托盤502。金屬嵌件900與托盤502的固定可在托盤502的模制期間或者稍後因應需求加以實施。
根據本發明的實施例,托盤502與多個桶501可一起堆疊在另一托盤上,從而經由另一連接器組件保持連接的多個桶501。該連接器組件可是經濟的、靈活的、輕質的、幾乎不可破壞的。連接器組件也具有良好的拉伸與應力處理能力。
儘管已經以特定於結構特徵與/或方法的語言描述了連接器組件的實施,但是應當理解,本案之申請專利範圍並不限於上述的具體特徵或方法。相反,具體特徵經公開為連接器組件的示例。
