Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Palettenbehälter mit einer Palette, einem Außenmantel und einem aus Kunststoff bestehenden Innenbehälter, wobei der Außenmantel im Bereich seines unteren Randes mit der Palette lösbar verbunden und der Innenbehälter in den Außenmantel eingesetzt sowie auf der Palette aufgelagert ist, wie aus der US-A-5 110 000 bekannt. - Palettenbehälter bezeichnet ein Aggregat des beschriebenen Aufbaus, welches mit Hilfe der Palette von einem Gabelstapler o. dgl. aufgenommen und manipuliert werden kann. Die Palette ist mit entsprechenden Einfahrkanälen für die Gabelarme eines Gabelstaplers ausgerüstet. Der Innenbehälter ist regelmäßig im Wege der Blasformgebung aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff geformt. Er dient zur Aufnahme, zur Lagerung und zum Transport von insbesondere chemischen Substanzen.The invention relates to a pallet container with a pallet, an outer casing and an inner container made of plastic, the outer casing being releasably connected to the pallet in the region of its lower edge and the inner container being inserted into the outer casing and being supported on the pallet, as in US Pat. A-5 110 000 known. - Pallet container denotes an assembly of the structure described, which can be picked up and manipulated with the aid of a pallet truck or the like. The pallet is equipped with appropriate entry channels for the fork arms of a forklift. The inner container is regularly blow molded from thermoplastic. It is used to hold, store and transport chemical substances in particular.
Bei den üblichen Palettenbehältern mit einer Palette, einem Außenmantel und einem aus Kunststoff bestehenden Innenbehälter sind diese Bauteile zwar selbständig gefertigt und nachträglich miteinander verbunden. Dabei ist im allgemeinen für den betrieblichen Gebrauch der Außenmantel mit der Palette unlösbar verbunden.In the usual pallet containers with a pallet, an outer jacket and an inner container made of plastic, these components are manufactured independently and subsequently connected to one another. In general, the outer jacket is permanently connected to the pallet for operational use.
Bei dem bekannten Palettenbehälter, von dem die Erfindung ausgeht (US-A-51 10 000), ist der Außenmantel, der als Gitter aus Rundstahlstäben ausgeführt ist, mit der Palette formschlüssig verbunden, und zwar mit Hilfe von Rastzungen, die einen unteren, in Umfangsrichtung verlaufenden Rundstahlstab hinterfassen. Diese Maßnahmen erlauben zwar ein einfaches Anschließen des Außenmantels an die Palette, die Demontage ist jedoch aufwendig, weil es nicht einfach ist, die Rastzungen zurückzubiegen.In the known pallet container from which the invention is based (US-A-51 10,000), the outer casing, which is designed as a grid made of round steel bars, is with the pallet positively connected, with the aid of locking tongues which enclose a lower round steel rod running in the circumferential direction. Although these measures allow a simple connection of the outer casing to the pallet, dismantling is complex because it is not easy to bend the latching tongues back.
Aus dem Dokument US-A-5 029 734 ist die Anwendung einer Klemme bekannt.The use of a clamp is known from document US-A-5 029 734.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Palettenbehälter des eingangs beschriebenen Aufbaus so weiter auszubilden, daß auf einfache Weise eine Verbindung des Außenmantels mit der Palette hergestellt und auch wieder aufgelöst werden kann. Auf diese Weise soll im betriebsmäßigen Gebrauch die Palette von dem Außenmantel befreit werden können, um beispielsweise die Palette an anderer Stelle weiterzuverwenden. Auch kann nach Aufhebung der Verbindung auf einfache Weise der Außenmantel von dem Innenbehälter abgezogen werden, wenn dieses gewünscht wird und wenn die Auslegung des Innenbehälters unter Berücksichtigung des Gewichtes des Füllgutes entsprechend eingerichtet ist.The invention has for its object to further develop a pallet container of the construction described above so that a connection of the outer jacket with the pallet can be made and also dissolved again. In this way, the pallet should be able to be freed from the outer jacket in operational use, for example in order to use the pallet elsewhere. Also, after the connection has been broken, the outer jacket can be removed from the inner container in a simple manner if this is desired and if the design of the inner container is set up accordingly, taking into account the weight of the filling material.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe lehrt die Erfindung, daß die Haltezungen, die den unteren Rand des Außenmantels in der Aufnahmerinne befestigen, im Bereich des Zungenendes Rastausformungen aufweisen, in die Rastelemente der Palette einfassen und die Sollage der Haltezungen in Aufnahmetaschen fixieren.To achieve this object, the invention teaches that the retaining tongues, which fasten the lower edge of the outer casing in the receiving groove, have latching formations in the region of the tongue end, surround the latching elements of the pallet and fix the desired position of the retaining tongues in receiving pockets.
Nach bevorzugter Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Aufnahmerinne an der Palette durch plastische Formgebung ausgeformt. Um die beschriebene Verbindung sicher, funktionssicher und sehr einfach lösbar zu gestalten, lehrt die Erfindung, daß die Aufnahmetaschen für die Haltezungen im Anschluß an die Aufnahmerinne zum Palettenzentrum hin ausgebildet sind.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the receiving groove on the pallet is shaped by plastic shaping. In order to make the connection described safe, reliable and very easy to solve, the invention teaches that the receiving pockets for the retaining tongues are formed in connection with the receiving channel towards the center of the pallet.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung können die Palette, der Außenmantel und der Innenmantel einen beliebigen, beispielsweise auch einen runden Grundriß aufweisen. Nach bevorzugter Ausführungsform ist jedoch die Anordnung so getroffen, daß die Palette einen quadratischen oder rechteckigen Grundriß - mit verrundeten Ecken - aufweist und die Haltezungen und/oder die Aufnahmetaschen längs der Grundrißseiten angeordnet sind. Wesentlich ist, daß die Haltezungen im Bereich des Zungenendes Rastausformungen aufweisen, in die Rastelemente dar Palette einfassen und die Sollage der Haltezungen in der Aufnahmetasche fixieren. Das kann im einzelnen so geschehen, daß eine Fixierung der Haltezungen gewährleistet ist, wenn der Innenbehälter gefüllt ist, jedoch auf einfache Weise gelöst und aufgehoben werden kann, wenn der Innenbehälter entleert ist. Vorteilhaft ist, daß die Palette im Bereich der Rastelemente elastisch verformbar ausgebildet ist, daß im unverformten Zustand dieser Palettenbereiche die Rastelemente die Rastausformungen in den Haltezungen freigeben, und daß die Rastelemente bei gefülltem Innenbehälter unter dem Einfluß des Gewichtes des Füllgutes sowie unter elastischer Verformung der elastisch verformbaren Bereiche der Palette in die Rastausformungen eindrückbar sind.In the context of the invention, the pallet, the outer jacket and the inner jacket can have any, for example also a round, plan. According to a preferred embodiment, however, the arrangement is such that the pallet has a square or rectangular plan - with rounded corners - and the retaining tongues and / or the receiving pockets are arranged along the sides of the plan. It is essential that the retaining tongues have latching shapes in the area of the tongue end, enclose the latching elements in the pallet and fix the desired position of the retaining tongues in the receiving pocket. This can be done in such a way that a fixation of the retaining tongues is ensured when the inner container is filled, but can be easily released and removed when the inner container is emptied. It is advantageous that the pallet is elastically deformable in the area of the locking elements, that in the undeformed State of these pallet areas, the latching elements release the latching formations in the retaining tongues, and that the latching elements can be pressed into the latching formations when the inner container is filled under the influence of the weight of the filling material and under elastic deformation of the elastically deformable regions of the pallet.
Die Palette kann im Rahmen der Erfindung aus den verschiedensten Werkstoffen bestehen. Nach bevorzugter Ausführungsform ist die Palette aus Kunststoff, insbes. aus thermoplastischem Recyclingkunststoff, geformt. Das ist auf einfache Weise auch bezüglich der beschriebenen Maßnahmen für die Verbindung des Außenmantels mit der Palette dadurch erreichbar, daß die Palette aus zwei durch Tiefziehen geformten Kunststoffschalen zusammengesetzt ist, deren untere ausgeformte Palettenfüße und deren obere die umlaufende Aufnahmerinne aufweist, und daß die Aufnahmetaschen durch Ausformungen an einerseits der unteren Kunststoffschale und andererseits der oberen Kunststoffschale gebildet sind, welche Ausformungen sich zu den Kunststofftaschen ergänzen. Die beiden Kunststoffschalen können durch thermoplastisches Verschweißen oder auch auf andere Weise miteinander zu der Palette vereinigt sein, wobei sich zwischen den Palettenfüßen die Einführungskanäle für die Gabelarme eines Gabelstaplers befinden.Within the scope of the invention, the pallet can consist of a wide variety of materials. According to a preferred embodiment, the pallet is formed from plastic, in particular from thermoplastic recycled plastic. This can be achieved in a simple manner also with regard to the measures described for the connection of the outer casing to the pallet in that the pallet is composed of two plastic shells formed by deep drawing, the lower molded pallet feet and the upper one having the circumferential receiving groove, and that the receiving pockets through Formations are formed on the one hand the lower plastic shell and on the other hand the upper plastic shell, which formations complement each other to the plastic pockets. The two plastic shells can be joined together to form the pallet by thermoplastic welding or in some other way, the insertion channels for the fork arms of a forklift being located between the pallet feet.
