Description

Fluid catcher, module system with fluid containment vessels and use of same

The invention relates to a fluid collecting container for water in particular from the wastewater and cooling systems with a side walls having storage body, a support structure and with an inlet and outlet for the water, the side walls (2) are collapsible or compressible. The invention further relates to a modular system for fluid collecting containers. The invention further relates to a use of the fluid collecting container and the modular system in a body of water or the like.

Such fluid collecting containers are used, for example, in wastewater management, wherein, in the case of extreme wastewater pollution, such as e.g. In case of increased rainfall, wastewater streams in the fluid collecting container in the form of concrete ceilings in reinforced concrete construction are cached, thereby preventing the sewage unfiltered get into surrounding waters. This represents a particularly complex form of temporary storage.

A generic fluid collecting container is disclosed, for example, in DE 26 13 826 A1, which is embedded in a bottom foundation forming its bottom and whose side walls can be deployed towards the water surface by means of at least one buoyant body in the body of water. The disadvantage here are the necessary complex preparations for the installation of the fluid collecting container in a body of water by preparing the ground in the water and / or the fluid collecting container over anchored ropes must be anchored to the ground.

DE 195 06 806 A1 describes a fluid collecting container without foundation and with elastically interconnected plates of buoyant foam, which float on the water surface, are folded together in the unfilled state and unfold with filling.

In order to reduce the space required, it is proposed in DE 103 38 419 A1 to use the fluid collecting container in the bank area of a body of water in the vicinity of an introduction of the sewerage network into the body of water. In this way, a saving potential for space requirements on land is indeed created, especially since it is also proposed to create an additional buildable area through platforms above the fluid catchment container. The disadvantage of this, however, is that the fluid collecting container must be built according stable by the external water pressure. Furthermore, the actual space requirement for the fluid collecting container remains. With its arrangement in a body of water acts on the fluid collecting container with deflated, with air-filled storage body, an increased buoyancy, which causes a floating of the fluid collecting container and thereby requires a correspondingly strong anchoring of the fluid collecting container in the water.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a fluid collecting container of the type mentioned, which can be used in a watercourse unaufwändiger.

The object is achieved according to the invention in that the supporting structure is a truss structure with interconnected bars, that the truss structure at least partially encloses a space in which the storage body is arranged, and that the storage body is held by the truss structure.

In this case, the rods are preferably connected to one another in each case. the. Thus, an easily floatable, yet stable structure is proposed. When inserted into a body of water, the rods of a flow counteract a low flow resistance so that the fluid collecting container with an unfilled, folded storage body also has a low flow resistance. Therefore, a costly anchoring can be dispensed with at least substantially. Nevertheless, the storage body is protected by the framework construction arranged in the structure. Here, the framework construction can be constructed so dense that no larger flotsam or the like can get into the space in which the storage body is arranged. For this purpose, additional bars, in particular bars, can be provided for producing the sealing mesh to the bars necessary for the strength, which bars are made, for example, of structural steel or of iron. Preferably, in this case, the side of the framework construction facing the flow of the water body in which the fluid collecting container is used is designed to be dense-meshed. Instead or in addition, preferably at the same time reduced Dichtmaschigkeit, a network or grid for holding the floating material may be provided, which integrated into the framework construction or additionally, preferably on the side facing the flow, attached to the framework construction.

Preferably, at least the foldable side walls of the storage container are arranged in the space which is enclosed by means of the framework construction. The storage container can also be arranged completely in this space.

Furthermore, the fluid collecting container, dipped into the water and made buoyant, for example, by means of additional buoyant body and / or with a partial air filling in the storage body, are easily towed to its place of use. Thus, the fluid collecting container can be completely pre-assembled on land and floating by means of air-filled storage body or brought by ship to the place of work or by means of used by a crane from the shore and then set by flooding and / or squeezing the air from the storage body on reason or kept in a certain water level.

The truss structure may have a surface formed as a footprint. For this purpose, the framework construction, the footprint according to their predetermined form of training, i. as flat, simply curved or multiply curved surface, with edges, for example, border or build in a grid construction. Thanks to the stable framework construction, the fluid collector can be positioned on the same even with a slightly uneven surface. In a more steep slope, the framework construction can be manufactured adapted to the ground and / or in installation position down, pointing to the ground, preferably have height-adjustable extensions. These can be at least partially drilled into the same under the weight of the fluid collecting container and / or by additional being driven in with settling of the fluid collecting container on the ground. If a foundation described in more detail below is to be provided, this can be designed as an inexpensive point foundation with landing points pointing to the water surface, wherein the attachment points preferably at the nodes of the framework construction, i. attack at the points where rods converge. For this purpose, for example, steel columns and / or wooden piles are driven into the water bottom, the upwardly facing end faces form the attachment points;

The framework construction can for. Training of the room any, preferably have a designated use site adapted form. The framework construction can form a polyhedral spatial form. For this purpose, the rods can be arranged along the edge lines of the polyhedral spatial form. Preferably, the framework construction can be made into a rotationally symmetrical body, such as a torus or cylinder, a prismatic body. be formed matic or pyramidal body. The structure may preferably have a cuboid shape, wherein the rods are preferably arranged along the edge line of the cuboid. It is understood that for the stiffening of the supporting structure construction necessary cross struts, triangles forming additional bars, reinforcing plates and / or ribs can be provided. The rods may be made of profiles, ie, of closed and / or open profiles or of mixed profiles with open and closed portions. Advantageously, hollow profiles are preferably formed with a low flow resistance, such as, for example, hollow profiles with a round, ie circular, ellipsoidal or elliptical cross section. The hollow sections may also be polygonal profiles, in particular square hollow sections. The rods may also have T, U or double T profiles.

In general, the rods may comprise a material which is loadable and which is resistant to the fluid in which the fluid collection container is to be used. These include, for example, composite materials, in particular fiber composite materials. The rods may be made of steel, with a stainless steel being preferred. The bars can be welded together at their ends or otherwise firmly connected together. The rods can also, in particular, if they have a round cross-section, for example, by means of clamps, sleeves, connectors and / or other connectors releasably connected to each other.

A particular advantage is seen in that truss construction can be made collapsible. Can be folded by ^•, ^'especially when the Speicherkör- by in the emptying position. located, the. Space requirement of the fluid collecting container can be significantly reduced. As a result, the fluid collecting container can be brought to its place of use and used more inexpensively, with the insertion preferably an automatic unfolding of the framework construction takes place. Thus, this can complete the task be solved. To fold it can be provided that the framework construction pivots into the space enclosed by it. For this purpose, the rods and / or other components forming the supporting structure can be connected to each other in an articulated manner at the ends and / or at the other components forming the supporting structure. Furthermore, the rods as well as the components can be locked and unlocked in a folded position and in an unfolded position in the joints. For example, in the above-stated cuboid structure, the rods, which are arranged in an insertion position perpendicular to a fluid surface, can be pivoted to collapse into a plane parallel to the fluid surface. For this purpose, these rods can have an additional joint 30 in a middle region, by means of which the respectively associated rod 8 can be folded in the middle.

The side walls can unfold in a filling position of the storage body in which the storage body is properly filled, ie, depending on the elasticity of their material, completely or preferably almost completely stretched and thus determine the maximum space requirement of the fluid collecting container. In a discharge position of the storage body, however, in which the storage body is emptied properly, the side walls can be as far as possible due to material folded or compressed. As a result, the volume of the storage body in its emptying position can be reduced by a multiple compared to its volume in its filling position, so that its space requirement can be reduced accordingly. If the fluid catcher even for special emergencies, which, as with extremely increased rainfall, usually only a few times a year used, ie to be filled, the fluid catcher for the remaining time can be in its extremely space-saving emptying position. Since the storage body in each of its filling positions is substantially filled with fluid, acts, as will be described below, on the arranged in the body of water storage no increased buoyancy on the fluid collection container. As a result, it is not to be feared that, if the fluid collecting container is arranged to float in the water, it will continue to project above the water surface or float up above it, or if it is anchored to the bottom of the water, it will have a correspondingly lower anchorage requirement. Thus, the equipment of, for example, conventional rainwater overflow basins can be combined with one or more fluid containment vessels. Furthermore, this makes it possible to construct much cheaper fluid collecting containers that do not require against an external fluid pressure designed and thus kostenaufwändi- gere side walls. Thanks to the collapsible side walls of the storage body, floating of a fluid collecting container or of a plurality of fluid collecting containers can be prevented so that it is then advantageously not necessary for supply lines to the inlet and outlet to be movably arranged. Furthermore, there is no reason to fear that a floating collecting container will impair the view of the body of water with the fluid collecting container and thus form an undesired visual element.

It goes without saying that, as usually provided, the fluid collecting container can be equipped with additional components such as pumps, vortex jets, ventilation as well as units for regulation and monitoring. This also applies to the following module system with fluid collecting containers described below. By means of this component, the fluid collecting container according to the prior art can be operated properly by the pumps for pumping in and out, the vortex jets for swirling the fluid in the storage body for its cleaning and the control and monitoring for the usual control and monitoring of the operations of the fluid collecting container. The ventilation can be used for example for ventilation of the storage body to the storage body to bring in its deflated state in its filling position, for example, for its purification.

The vortex jets may be arranged in the form of conventional vortex jet systems. As a result, solids or heavy materials can be continuously suspended and / or forming deposits from the solids or heavy materials are removed for cleaning from the ground. Furthermore, in order to reduce the solids, a known pre-cleaning device can be arranged upstream or upstream of the storage water before the rainwater enters. Such a pre-cleaning device is known, for example, as a Huber-Rotomat system (http://www.huber.de).

In addition to or instead of other known cleaning methods can be used. These can take place, for example, by removal of deposits by divers, by clearing devices and / or by flushing systems, in particular by flushing systems and / or high-pressure systems, manually or mechanically or automatically.

Furthermore, vibrator devices may be provided with vibrators, which can couple mechanical shock waves in the storage body.

The storage body can be arranged exchangeably in the fluid collecting container. , ,

The side walls are preferably made of a fluid-tight coated fabric. Preferably, the fabric is a textile fabric made of plastic. Here, a particularly tear-resistant plastic, preferably polyamide fiber, is preferred. Instead of the textile fabric and a fine-meshed wire mesh can be used. Thus, a proven tissue is preferred. For fluid-tight sealing of the tissue, the tissue may be coated or embedded in rubber or industrial rubber, in particular Hypalon. Here, the Hypalon is a product of the company Continental, even opposite Is resistant to fuels and thus also suitable for collecting a variety of chemicals, for example, in a "chemical accident" in which large quantities of, for example, fire extinguishing water mixed with chemicals that may occur in large quantities in a few minutes The fluid-tight coating or matrix for the embedded tissue may be particularly resistant to aging, a property that can be prevented from accumulating into the sewage system and / or surrounding waters A further advantageous property is an alternating strength of the side walls, which are correspondingly loaded during folding and unfolding .Also, the combination of textile fabric made of plastic, preferably of polyamide fiber, and industrial rubber, preferably Hypalon, can be used. a ls advantageous combination of materials are called. Of course, another combination of materials is suitable, which has similar material properties.

The side walls can also be made of a plastic, by means of which the side walls also have a particular compressive and / or tensile strength. For this purpose, for example, the company with the name Alligator WINBAG Albersalligator (http://www.albersalligator.com) and the plastic of the company HST Hydro System Technik be called, by means of which the company HST Hydro System Technik a Rinsing bag manufactures (http://www.systemtechnik.net).

Preferably, the storage body has a bottom plate, which is fluid-tightly connected to the side walls. This is particularly advantageous in the case of the arrangement of the fluid collecting container in a body of water ¹ , since a soil weighted thereby facilitates a controlled, automatic unfolding and folding. Of course, the entire storage body can only consist of the collapsible or compressible side walls, wherein at one point of the side walls and a Zu- Drain should be provided for the fluid.

The bottom plate can be arranged in an insert position of the storage body in place so that it has a certain inclination to the horizontal. As a result, accumulations can be collected and discharged more easily at the lower part of the base plate. The bottom plate can identify a ceramic layer on its upper side in the installed position. This can serve to reduce wear and / or prevent adhesion of deposits of solids, which can be flushed into the storage body with the fluid, or at least complicate.

In one development, the storage body can have a cover plate which can be connected in a fluid-tight manner to the side walls. Preferably, the cover plate is removable. As a result, the storage body can be easily reached from above and cleaned, for example. Preferably, the cover plate should be made of a profiled sheet, in particular of a trapezoidal sheet. Preferably, the profiling of the cover plate is provided in a space spaced from the edge of the cover plate area, so that the edge region can be easily connected fluid-tight with the side walls. Preferably, the sealing of the storage body is not only fluid-tight but also odor-proof.

Preferably, the bottom plate and / or the cover plate each have a peripheral side wall edge. Here, the two side wall edges may be arranged facing each other. As a result, they can be moved against one another in a discharge position, in the bottom plate and cover plate to reduce the volume of the storage body to a certain residual distance and in which the side walls are folded or compressed, against each other. In this position, an interior is formed by the side wall edges, in which the folded or compressed side walls are stored. Thus, these Protected against external influences be arranged in the interior, which in turn facilitates the transport of the fluid collecting container. As a result, the task is also completely solved.

For fixing the side wall edges against movement in the top or bottom plate plane may be provided a fixing device. The fixing device may have a plug connection. For this purpose, the side wall edges may have a tongue and groove profile, by means of which they engage in the emptying position. The side wall edges may also overlap one another in the emptying position, preferably by overlapping the side wall edge of the cover plate with that of the bottom plate, wherein preferably a clearance is provided for easier gripping of the side wall edges.

The vortex jets for cleaning the storage body of the fluid containment vessel may be grounded, e.g. be arranged on the bottom plate, and / or on the cover plate. By arranging the vortex jets on the ground, the same can be advantageously weighted. The cover plate can be arranged with the vortex preferably arranged on the underside vortex high on the support structure. Are, as described above, one or two side wall edges provided so can be left by the spacing of the cover plate and bottom plate in the emptying position by means of the side wall edges enough space for the Wirbeljets between the cover plate and the bottom plate without the Wirbeljets are mechanically loaded inadmissible.

In addition, the vibrator device with vibrators for releasing deposition on components of the. Fluid collecting container, in particular on the bottom plate and / or cover plate, act on the same. For this purpose, the vibrator can have a body and at least one push-back element which can be acted upon, by means of which, in accordance with the principle of a pneumatic hammer, shockwaves can be generated in the body which can be injected into the desired component of the fluid. dauffangbehälters are coupled. The shock element can also act directly on the intended component. It can also be provided that shock waves can be coupled in at several points of a component or components. Preferably, the vibrator or vibrators are arranged on the underside of the bottom plate and can preferably be controlled by a remote location to them.

The storage body preferably has a conical shape which tapers downwards in the installed position. This makes the process of folding and unfolding easier and more regulated. If the storage body has base plate and cover plates, the bottom plate is preferably smaller than the cover plate. In a further development of the fluid collecting container, a guide mechanism for guiding the side walls between the filling position, in which the side walls are unfolded, and the emptying position, in which the side walls are folded, is provided. This guide mechanism may comprise first guide rails which extend over the maximum height of the storage body and are connected to the supporting structure. Further, the bottom plate may have laterally extending armature, wherein in each case an armature engages in an associated first guide rail and is slidably mounted in the first guide rail. In this way, the storage body can be guided between its two positions, its filling position and its emptying position, so that the proper folding or unfolding of the storage body is better ensured.

The inlet and outlet may preferably be arranged in the cover plate and / or bottom plate. Preferably, the inlet and outlet in the form of a common tube is formed, which protrudes into the storage body and is preferably fluid-tightly connected to the cover plate. In an arrangement of the fluid collecting container described below in a body of water or the like, it is advantageous if all the openings, fastenings, in particular detachable fastenings, and / or moving parts are arranged above or near the water surface. Of course, this also applies to the module system to be described.

A further advantage is seen in the fact that the side walls of the supporting structure can be pivoted into a plane parallel to the base plate. As a result, the fluid collecting container can easily be folded together with the storage body emptied, which makes it easier to transport the fluid collecting container. Furthermore, it can be provided that the side walls with their fillings of the storage body, by means of electromotives or mechanically and / or directly via the inflating storage body, pivot out of the position pivoted in the plane parallel to the bottom plate into their proper position, which is perpendicular to a cuboid support structure to let.

To solve the problem, a module system is also proposed, which has fluid collecting container according to a previously described embodiment.

For this purpose, the fluid collecting containers are preferably made as a module, wherein the modules are preferably attached to one another according to the modular principle. For stable anchoring of the modules to each other they can be connected to one another via a fastening device, for example in the form of a clamping or a screw connection.

In addition, or alternatively, the module system may include a modular frame structure that can be flexible ^", both in height, ^'width and / or depth and in series production is preferably prepared. The fluid collection container and / or the storage may cherkörper In the frame structure For this purpose, the fluid collecting containers or the storage bodies may have a fitting, via which they are inserted, for example, via a crane into or out of the supporting structure or can be pulled out. When using the modular system in a body of water, the modules can thus be easily inserted into the structural structure via a floating crane or a shore crane or loaded onto a ship. It is considered advantageous if, as already described, the fluid collecting container is manufactured as a module with standardized dimensions.

Preferably, the supporting structure can be formed as a frame construction in parallelepiped form with the longitudinal sides forming longitudinal bars ben, between the truss rectangles are installed transversely to the longitudinal direction at any point of the longitudinal edges. Thus, the structure of the structure can have compartments of different sizes, which can be used for the respective fluid collecting container or system associated with the module system, such as pumps and the like. Preferably, the bar rectangles should be arranged at a uniform distance between the longitudinal bars and thus regular fan formation, in which preferably the standardized, i. modular fluid collecting container and / or the preferably standardized storage body can be used.

In order to be able to satisfy a purpose described above, according to which very large amounts of fluid occurring in minutes are to be collected and temporarily stored by the modular system, the modular system preferably has a transfer duct and a distribution duct, through which the fluid flows via the pump - And processes of the individual fluid collecting container is fed in particular. In principle, the fluid in such a purpose of use of the modular system or of the fluid collecting container can also be slow, over a longer period of time. be sucked from the storage bodies and supplied to an example provided cleaning system, so that this pumping and suction and pressure line sections can be designed sparingly. Thus, it may be advantageous if a separate from the inlet drain is provided. Preferably, the module system has a Stützsysterα on its support on a substrate. Likewise, the fluid collecting container may have a support system for its support on the ground. In both cases, the support system may have anchored in the ground and preferably arranged in a grid columns that engage the underside of the structure or structural structure. In a further development of the support system, the support upper side and preferably only in the longitudinal direction of the module system via a profiled carrier rail, preferably with an L or H-profile, be connected, wherein the support rails for receiving and preferably equal to a stop against lateral slipping Modules can serve. As a result, the distance between the supports is bridged, wherein the profile is known to increase the rigidity of such mounting rails. In the case of the L-profile, it is preferably provided that the L-profiles are open to each other by mounting rails arranged parallel to one another, so that a lateral leg extends upward in the installed position, which prevents lateral slipping of the supporting structure or the supporting structure. In this case, the spacing can be selected such that the structural structure of the modular system or the structures of the individual fluid collecting containers can be securely placed on the profiled mounting rails or pushed laterally into them. If the mounting rails have an h-profile, then the U-shaped part of the h-profile should preferably point downwards in the installed position, whereby the supports engage in the U-profile and the individually upwardly extending legs of the h-profile Profile is arranged outside and thus can serve as a stop against lateral slipping of the structure or the structure of the structure.

In addition or instead, already above-mentioned foundations, preferably point foundations, ^' can be provided for the arrangement of the fluid collecting container on a substrate ^' . For this purpose, the foundations can have a preferably horizontal and upwardly pointing level for the fluid collecting container. sen. The footprint can be formed at a Punktfundarαent by the mentioned support points, the support points preferably attack at the locations on the underside of the proposed site construction of the framework where the rods meet together and are connected end. This can be, for example, at vertices of a polygonal body formed by the bars.

Of course, as with conventional collecting tanks or catch basins, other components, such as pumps, vortex jets, ventilation and compliance may be provided for controlling and monitoring the system.

The object is further achieved by the already mentioned use of a fluid collecting container according to one of the embodiments described above in a fluid, in particular in a body of water or the like, wherein the fluid collecting container is at least partially disposed in the waters. In this case, the fluid collecting container can float in the water or be anchored on the bottom of the water via a support system according to one of the embodiments described above. Furthermore, the fluid collecting container may have an additional platform. In this context, reference is made in particular to the already cited document DE 103 38 419 A1, the disclosure content of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. When using a fluid collecting container according to one of the embodiments described above, the storage body may be collapsible or compressible with emptying of its contents via the external fluid pressure. This offers the enormous advantage that the storage body can be automatically collapsible or compressible completely with the emptying of its contents, preferably completely via the external fluid pressure.

In an advantageous development, a further guide can be provided with second guide rails, via which the fluid collecting container can be inserted into the body of water or removed from the body of water. This allows the fluid collecting container are used in the exact location in the water, for example, on the proposed support system for its support. This is particularly advantageous, since the fluid collecting container can have, for example, a storage body which can have a capacity of several hundred to a thousand cubic meters, since larger dimensions of the fluid collecting container can be technically realized by using the fluid collecting container in the body of water , Furthermore, as already described, the fluid collecting container can be advantageously brought easily via a ship on the waterway to its intended isolation point.

When filling the storage body unfold the same and displace the surrounding fluid. This is not of practical importance in particular when used in a body of water. With the filling of the storage body practically forms a fluid bubble in the fluid, which continues to fill with supplied fluid as long as there is a pressure gradient between the water and the supply. For very large amounts of fluid occurring in minutes, as have already been described above, the supply is preferably designed without pressure except for the counterpressure of the water body or the fluid surrounding the fluid collecting vessel.

It is further proposed to use a modular system according to one of the preceding embodiments in a fluid, in particular in a body of water or the like. In this case, according to one of the preceding embodiments, the storage body or the storage bodies of the fluid collecting containers used in the modular system can be collapsible or compressible via emptying of their contents via the external fluid pressure. ^{"• ■}

Furthermore, as already described in the use of the fluid collecting container in a fluid, the module system as a whole can be arranged at least partially in the body of water. Here, the module system can also be stored floating in the water be. The module system can also be firmly connected to the ground. Furthermore, the module system can have a platform which at least partially spans them and, similar to the one already described in DE 103 38 419 A1, is widely used for superstructures and the like. Reference is made to the disclosure content of DE 103 38 419 A1 and this is included in this disclosure.

Protective devices may further be provided which, for example, make it possible to keep flotsam, to prevent ice accumulation or to impact watercraft. To protect against ship impact, for example, at a safety distance into the ground U rammed, deformable dolphins made of section steel can be provided. Furthermore, flow-reducing metal sheets can be provided which reduce the flow resistance on the module system in the case of a flowing body of water.

The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to several embodiments shown in a drawing. In the drawing show:

6 is a perspective view of a modular system with a plurality of fluid collecting containers according to the second embodiment in a body of water and during its construction.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, a fluid collecting container 1 is shown in two embodiments for fluid F in particular from the wastewater industry and cooling systems with a storage body 3 having side walls 2, a supporting structure 4 and an inlet 5 and outlet 6 for the fluid F. The storage body is further provided with a bottom plate 7, which is fluid-tightly connected to the side walls 2. The support structure 4 is constructed as a truss structure Sk with rods 8, wherein the supporting structure 4 has a cuboid shape, the rods 8 are arranged along the edge lines of the cuboid and are welded together at the ends. The rods 8 are made of a Stahlkierkanthohlprofil. The storage body 3 is covered by a ceiling plate 9, wherein the above-running rods 8, the side walls 2 and the cover plate 9 are fluid-tight with each other. This is shown as a detail in Figure Ia, a sectional view according to the section line Ia-Ia in Figure 1, shown schematically. For this purpose, an upper edge 10 is flanged over the upper rod ^' 8, wherein the upper edge below and above each fluid-tight manner by a seal 11 to the rod 8 and the cover plate 9 is arranged.

According to the invention, the side walls 2 of the storage body 3 are collapsible. This is shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2 or 3 and 4. FIGS. 1 and 3 show the storage body 3 in a filling position again, in which its side walls 2 unfolded, or folded extremely low. In Figures 2 and 4, the storage body 3 is in a discharge position in which the side walls 2 are strongly folded, so that the storage body 3 only has a residual storage volume, while it has a maximum storage volume in the filling position according to FIG.

The cover plate 9 is designed to be removable, wherein provided brackets and fittings for pressing the cover plate against the upper edge 10 of the storage walls 2 and against the support member 4 are omitted for clarity in the drawing.

The inlet 5 is, as indicated schematically, provided with a substantially larger diameter than the drain 6. This indicates one of the possible application functions of the fluid collecting container 1, according to which its storage body 3 can be filled quickly via the large-sized inlet 5. This is, for example, in heavy rain, in firefighting operations such as in chemical accidents, and in emergency cooling, such as nuclear power plants, so then a great advantage when a large volume of fluid to be handled and stored between what the fluid then into the fluid collection container. 1 can be fed through the large-sized inlet 5. If the dangerous situation is over, or if the fluid collecting container 1 is completely filled, then its emptying can take place via the outlet 6 over a substantially longer period, so that the outlet 6 can be dimensioned correspondingly smaller. In cases in which, for example, a wet cleaning of the storage body 3 is to take place, for example via vortex jets 29, by removing corresponding amounts of solids from the storage body 3, the feed 5, as indicated in the drawing by a thinner .DIRECTED arrow, also be used as a drain. A vortex jet 29 is shown in highly schematic form by way of example in FIGS. 1 and 3, on the upper side of the bottom plate 7 in the interior of the storage body 3 arranged. By means of the vortex jet 29, the fluid F is kept constantly in motion, so that solid contained in the fluid can not settle or only reduced.

The second embodiment of the fluid collecting container 1 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 has, unlike the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, hingedly connected rods 8 which are hinged in a pivoting direction a such that the rods shown here are perpendicular to one another Level parallel to the cover plate 9 and the bottom plate 7 are pivotable. For this purpose, the vertical rods 8 in an intermediate region on an additional joint 30, by means of which the respectively associated rod 8 can fold in the specified pivoting direction a. For folding, the storage body 3 is advantageously brought into the emptying position beforehand (FIGS. 2 and 4). Subsequently, the collapsing of the lateral rods takes place, whereby overall the actual height of the fluid collecting container 1 is drastically reduced. Folded fluid collecting container 1 are shown in Figure 6, which will be discussed below. From the folding and supporting function of the rods 8 it follows that the rods are in the extended position shown in Figures 1 to 5, in which the rods are arranged perpendicular to each other here, and advantageously also in the folded state in each case locked and unlocked.

In the second embodiment of the fluid collecting container 1, the bottom plate 7 and the cover plate 9 each have at least one peripheral side wall edge 27. Here, the side wall edges '27 facing each other ^' arranged. Thus, the side wall edges 27 with their associated plate 7, 9 each have a scarf-like shape, wherein these these shell-like shapes are open to each other. In the emptying position, in which the side walls are folded or compressed, the same engage with each other or one above the other and further abutting one another, thereby bottom plate 7 and cover plate 9 from each other in a solid Distance kept spaced. Thus, in the discharge position through the bottom plate 7 and the cover plate 9 a with its associated side wall edges 27 a protected interior created in the side walls 2 are stored with their folding. In this case, the side wall edges 27 are dimensioned so that the arranged on the top of the bottom plate 7 Wirbeljets 28 can be safely guided into the protected interior inside.

In the sections shown schematically in FIGS. 4a to 4c, three different embodiments of the bottom plate 7 and the cover plate 9 with the side wall edges 27 are shown by way of example, wherein the storage body is in each case in the emptying position. In FIG. 4 a, the side wall edge 27 abuts the bottom plate 7, so that the height of the protected space is determined by the height of this side wall edge 27. The side wall edge 27 of the cover plate engages over the upper, horizontally arranged rods 8, whereby the storage body 3 is secured against a horizontal displacement. In FIG. 4b, the inner side wall edge 27 of the base plate 7 and the outer side wall edge 27 of the cover plate 9 engage one another. In FIG. 4c, the two side wall edges 27 engage one another according to a tongue-and-groove principle, the side wall edge 27 of the cover plate 9 having a receptacle 27 for receiving the end face of the side wall edge 27 of the bottom plate 7. In addition to the horizontal displacement safety of the cover plate 9 and thus the storage body 3, the cover plate 9 has a further outside arranged side wall edge 27, which, similar to. 4a and Ia, the upper, horizontally arranged rods 8 overlaps.

In order to facilitate the cleaning of the fluid collecting containers 1 of solids which have deposited on the bottom plate 7, a vibrating device with individual vibrators 31 is provided, which are arranged on the underside on the bottom plate 7 and by means of which for loosening the deposited Firmly- According to the principle of a pneumatic hammer mechanical shock waves in the bottom plate 7 can be introduced.

FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the fluid collecting container 1, which, as indicated by the dashed wavy lines in the upper region of FIG. 5, is arranged in a fluid, or here under water W, and via a support system 12 Supports 13 is supported on a substrate U of the water body. In this way, a module system 14 is formed, which will be explained in more detail below in another embodiment and which here only has a fluid collecting container 1.

The supports 13 are connected on the upper side via distilled support rails 15 with an L-profile. For this purpose, the support rails 15 are arranged to each other so that in each case an outer leg 16 of the L-profile serves as a lateral stop against lateral slippage of the fluid collecting container 1 from the support system 12 out. The support structure 4 or the support system 12 is extended upwards by further supports 13, which carry a platform 17 protruding from the water W.

The fluid collecting container 1 and the support system 12 with the platform 17 are shown very schematically in the drawing. The invention itself is in principle directed to any dimensions of the fluid collecting container 1 with the storage body 3, wherein the storage body may for example have several hundreds of cubic meters of capacity. Therefore, it goes without saying that the number of supports 13 and other components in multiple form can be used here to achieve a necessary stability of the fluid collecting container 1 and the modular system 14.

The platform 17 offers the possibility to build additional structures 18 shown here schematically on it. In the example shown in FIG. 5, in the superstructures 18 additional additional units and devices are required for the Operation of the fluid collecting container 1 may be housed, which, as indicated by an antenna 19 schematically, are in wireless communication with, for example, not shown here pumps.

With the insertion of the fluid collecting container 1 into a fluid or into a body of water, an external fluid or water pressure p is loaded on the storage body 3, inter alia. The storage body 3 is shown in its filling position in FIG. When the storage body 3 is emptied, the side walls 2 are collapsed via the water pressure p and, if the inlet 5 is closed, by the negative pressure resulting from the pumping out of the fluid from the storage body 3 and the bottom plate 7 against the cover plate 9 lifted until the storage body 3 has reached its emptying position. By this measure it is ensured that no air enters the storage body 3, which would unfavorably increase the buoyancy of the fluid collecting container 1, for a floating of the fluid collecting container 1 could introduce, and thus would jeopardize the secure positioning of the fluid collecting container 1 under water W at least.

FIG. 6 shows the module system 14 in a second embodiment. As in FIG. 5, in FIG. 6 the module system 14 is arranged below water W, but has a plurality of fluid collecting containers 1 according to the second embodiment. The number of fluid collecting containers shown in FIG. 6 is only an example. The support system 12 is constructed with the exception of a longitudinally extending support rails 15 of rods 8 with square hollow sections, which are shown schematically except for the supports 13 alone by a line. The support system 13 forms a series of chambers 20, in each of which a standardized fluid collecting container 1 can be used as a module. In this case, the modular fluid collecting containers 1 project beyond the intermediate walls 21. The intermediate walls 21, between the chambers 20, are likewise constructed from a square hollow profile and extend upwards from the supporting system 12 pulled out, which is indicated by the projection of the intermediate walls on the rest of the support system 12, in this way, two or more chambers 20 can be put together. It is clear that the modular system can be continued in the form of a box in the longitudinal direction and perpendicular to it in the horizontal plane. For this purpose, it is provided that all dimensions of the module system 14 are supplied to one or more standards that allow the modular design of the modular system.

For filling the storage body 3 of the fluid collecting container 1 here a transfer shaft 22 is provided, which is supplied via a pipe 23 from the Uf forth through a pipe 24 with fluid F. The transfer shaft 22 opens into a distribution line 24 with pipe socket 25, which are each connected to its associated inlet 5 of the fluid collecting container 1. Thus, large amounts of fluid F can be quickly fed into the fluid collecting container 1. Not shown are provided for clarity sake expiration devices, but in principle, however, have already been explained with reference to Figures 1 to 3.

FIG. 6 also shows that the fluid collecting containers 1 can be easily inserted, for example, from a ship S into the modular system 14 via a crane system K. In the example shown here, the fluid collecting containers 1 are transported via the ship S to the modular system 14 and via the crane, which engages with a hook H in a fitting B on the cover plate and lowers the fluid collecting container 1 into the respectively provided chamber 20 or this takes. •

In order to reduce the transport volume of the fluid collecting container 1, it is provided in this embodiment that the supporting structure 4 is collapsible. For this purpose, the supporting structure 4 with forming lateral support elements 26 with lateral bars 8 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) can be pivoted or tilted so that they can be separated into a plane parallel to the cover plate 9 and to the base plate 7. For this necessary pivoting elements and buckling elements are not shown in the drawing. For transporting and inserting the fluid collecting container 1, the storage body 3 is expediently in its emptying position, so that an enormous reduction of the transport volume of the fluid collecting container is achieved by the lateral pivoting or buckling of lateral supporting elements 26 or the lateral bars 8.

In contrast to the insertion method for inserting the fluid collecting container 1 shown in FIG. 6, the fluid collecting container 1 can also be inserted into its associated chamber with swiveled or folded side elements, the side elements dipping back into their associated chamber via a triggering mechanism Position can be brought.
