Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wall construction for a double-walled freight container.
  • freight containers consist of a frame between which wall, bottom and ceiling faces are arranged.
  • the frame consists of upper and lower longitudinal girders at each side, upper and lower transversal girders at each end, and vertically upright corner posts.
  • a longitudinal girder extends, a so-called bottom-side rail.
  • It is typically equipped with one or more longitudinally extending flanges or the like that extend vertically upwards from the lower longitudinal girder. To these flanges the sidewalls of the container are secured.
  • the walls are configured as double-walls, ie as a sandwich-construction of two metal plates, ie an inner sheathing and an outer sheathing, and featuring an interposed insulating layer.
  • Figure 1 shows a double-walled freight container with a sidewall having an upper and a lower plate panel
  • Figure 2 shows the container shown in Figure 1 , seen from the side;
  • Figure 3 shows a lower plate panel with longitudinally extending corrugations
  • Figure 4 shows a cross section through a part of the container shown in Figure 1 of an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a ⁇ ouble-walled freight-container comprising a frame consisting of upper ⁇ 8 and lower 9 longitudinal girders, upper 10 and lower 11 transversal girders and vertically upright corner posts 12. Between said corner posts 12, sidewalls, the top face and the bottom face as well as end walls are tightly fastened. Typically the frame parts and the wall faces are joined by welding. The undersides of the vertically upright corner posts 12 form a resting face P for the container as will appear from Figure 2.
  • the sidewalls, the bottom and the top are double walled structures, ie they are constructed as a sandwich-structure of two plates, ie with an inner sheathing 2 and an outer sheathing 3. Between the inner sheathing and outer sheathing an insulating layer 4 is arranged. Insulating layers typically consist of a foamed plastics material that adheres to the metal plates in the sandwich structure.
  • the inner sheathing 2 is of light metal, eg an aluminium plate.
  • the outer sheathing 3 consists of stainless steel.
  • the outer sheathing 3 of the sidewall of the container according to the invention consists of the outer faces of upper 8 and lower 9 longitudinal girders and of the outer, upper plate panel 5 of the sidewall as such, and of a lower plate panel 13 inserted between the upper plate panel 5 and the lower longitudinal girder 9.
  • the lower plate panel 13 is provided with series of longitudinally extending corrugations 14. These corrugations impart flexibility to the lower plate panel 13, as the corrugations absorb forces from impacts against the side and the bottom of the container. The forces are absorbed in the corrugations, optionally as permanent deformations and hence the connection between the wall face 5 and the lower longitudinal girder 9 is protected. It has been found that even one corrugation increases the flexibility, although more corrugations, eg 2-5 corrugations, are preferred.
  • a further advantage of the longitudinally extending corrugations is that they impart a higher degree of rigidity to the lower plate panel 13 that facilitates handling of the lower plate panel 13 when the container is assembled.
  • the lower plate panel 13 is configured with a thickness that exceeds the thickness of the upper plate panel 5. Thereby increased strength is obtained without increasing the container weight excessively.
  • the thickness of the upper plate panel is 0.7 mm. This thickness can also be used for the lower plate panel 13, but there a thickness of between 1.5 and 10 times the thickness of the upper plate panel 5 is preferred, also in case a thickness is used that is different from the one mentioned. Typically the preferred thickness is comprised within the range of between 1 mm and 2 mm.
  • FIG. 4 shows a transversal sectional view through a double-walled container according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the lower plate panel 13 is a separate plate panel connected upwardly to the upper plate panel 5 and downwardly to an outer face of the lower longitudinal girder 9.
  • the lower plate panel 13 is preferably configured with a smaller material thickness than the lower longitudinal girder 9.
  • the connection 20 between the lower plate panel 13 and the upper plate panel 5 is preferably formed by welding.
  • the connection 21 between the lower plate panel 13 and the lower longitudinal girder 9 is preferably also formed by welding. Having a lower plate panel 13 as a separate plate panel accomplishes that the thickness of the lower plate panel 13 can be optimised such that the requisite strength and flexibility can be obtained without, however, increasing the container weight considerably.
  • the corrugations 14 in the lower plate panel 13 is preferably made as large corrugations 14, whereby these forces are more readily absorbed than in case of small corrugations.
  • these corrugations 14 are formed in a plate panel having a thinner thickness than the lower longitudinal girder 9, increased flexibility is provided with an ensuing ability to absorb thrusts in the corrugations.
  • the lower plate panel 13 extends all the way between the corner posts 12; but rather that it needs to cover only particularly exposed areas: for instance it may perceivably extend across an area of up to 2 m to each side of the centre of the container 1.
  • the upper plate panel 5 is provided with vertical corrugations to impart rigidity to the container.
  • the lower plate panel is used for the sidewall of a double-walled container 1. It is also an advantageous option to use a plate panel like the lower plate panel 13 as an intermediate element between other wall faces and frame elements, eg in the bottom face, the top face or an end face in those cases where it can be foretold that a container would be exposed to thrusts in said regions.
  • the invention also comprises a double-walled freight container 1 with a frame that comprises upper and lower longitudinal girders 8, 9 and vertically upright corner posts 12 that define, at their bottom, a resting face P for the freight container, and with sidewalls consisting of an inner sheathing 2, an outer sheathing 3 and an interposed insulating layer 4, wherein the outer sheathing of the sidewall is combined of an upper plate panel 5 that extends between the corner posts and is connected to a lower plate panel 13 that extends between the corner posts 12, said lower plate panel 13 having a thickness that exceeds the thickness of the upper plate panel 5, and wherein the joint between the lower plate panel 13 and the upper plate panel 5 is situated at a height of between 350 mm and 1500 mm above the resting face P.
  • the lower plate panel 13 is provided with corrugations 14.
