Definitions

  • the invention relates to a large container with a removable, rigid container roof.
  • Open and closed containers are provided for goods traffic with large containers.
  • the open containers form a trough that is open at the top and into which weather-resistant goods are to be placed.
  • Closed containers used in practice enclose the transport space on all sides, which is accessible through doors, flaps or the like.
  • the end walls of the essentially rectangular cuboid containers can be designed as pivotable doors, so that the interior of the container is accessible from one or both end faces.
  • the doors can also be worked into the side walls and designed as pivoting or sliding doors.
  • part of the roof can be moved relative to other roof parts, so that when the sunroof is open the container is accessible from above like an open container, but the free passage is smaller compared to it.
  • a common compromise between these two types of containers is the open container that can be covered with tarpaulins.
  • the container forms an open trough with the base plate and the side walls and thus offers the advantages of good accessibility, the fixed and unchangeable boundaries of the cargo space on all sides and the lower price. If, however, the Schultz of the cargo against weather conditions is not too demanding, it is sufficient that the cargo space is covered with the tarpaulin.
  • the tarpaulin is removed to load and unload the container.
  • the loaded transport space is generally closed at the top with the tarpaulin, which is lashed along the upper edges of the container side walls.
  • Oversized, weather-resistant cargo can be transported with the tarpaulin removed. This is rolled up, for example, on an upper edge of the container.
  • the tarpaulin can be moved to the side in a corresponding manner or set aside independently of the container.
  • the object of the invention is the design of a large container of the type mentioned in such a way that the goods to be transported can be transported protected from the weather like a full container, but the use of the container as an open container is also possible, but without that of previous open containers in the form the weather protection used can be lost in the same simple manner as is the case with the tarpaulin.
  • the container 1 shown in its entirety as a view of a long side in FIG. 1 is a so-called large container, such as that with a length of approximately 12 m, a width of approximately 2.4 m and a height of approximately 2 , 6 m are used in container traffic.
  • the stated dimensions are rounded values, which are only intended to convey an idea of size. In practice, these dimensions are internationally standardized, for example, to allow containers from different manufacturers to be stacked on top of one another for ship transport and to be able to interlock with one another and with the loading areas of the ships by means of locking devices assigned to the containers.
  • the container consists of a base plate 2, two end walls 3 and two side walls 4 and 5.
  • a corner post 6 is attached to each of the four corners of the base plate, the upper and lower ends of which each have a fitting 7 as part of a locking device.
  • One of the side and end walls is inserted between two corner posts and the base plate.
  • a profile frame 8 runs around the upper edge of the side and end walls, which is designed as a closed box profile and is attached to the side and end walls at their upper ends are closed.
  • the side and end walls are made of corrugated steel sheet, the beads of which run vertically.
  • a likewise circumferential vertical web 9 is now welded to the upper inner edge of the profile frame 8, on the upper end of which the container roof 100 which can be removed according to the invention is supported when it is assigned to the container in the operating position.
  • the roof has a roof frame 10 which defines its outer circumference and which, like the profile frame 8, is designed as a closed box girder.
  • the roof frame 10 encloses the roof structure formed from plates and beams, which forms a rigid container roof from the plates, the beams and the roof frame 10, which can be assigned to the actual container in the position of use, thereby being supported on the web 9 and the container upwards closes or that is completely separate from the container and can be stored or used for any other purpose, or that can finally be assigned to the container in a non-use position and carried in this non-use position, so that the container can be converted for a load change from closed to open container or vice versa can be.
  • a support frame 11 is guided around the roof frame 10, which has the cross section of an inverted U.
  • An elastic rubber strip 12 is inserted between the legs and the web of the U, via which and the support frame 11 the container roof is supported on the end face of the web 9.
  • this hangs on a suitable lifting device by means of a loading gear, in generally a crane.
  • inlet wedges 14 are assigned to the roof frame 10 below the support frame 11, which when the roof enters the area enclosed by the web 9 during lowering with the upper inner edge of the Crosspieces 9 can cooperate to center the roof in the upper container opening if this centering has not already taken place without abutting the roof on the crosspiece.
  • each saddle piece 15 is attached to each longitudinal side of the roof.
  • Each saddle piece consists of a horizontal plate 16 and two side strips 17, 18 which run horizontally perpendicular to the outer vertical surface of the roof frame 10 to which the saddle pieces are welded.
  • hammer heads 19 work together, which can be raised and lowered vertically and are pivotally mounted on the respective container side wall in a vertical axis. In the operating position, each hammer head 19 lies between the strips 17, 18 of the respective saddle piece 15 on its horizontal plate 16 and holds the roof in its position of use.
  • the hammer heads are first raised so that they can be pivoted over the strips 17, 18 and pivoted over one of the strips so that the hammer heads can be released from the saddle pieces.
  • the roof can then be lifted up.
  • each of them is attached to the upper end of a vertical rod 20 which is guided on the outside of the container side wall into the region of the base plate of the container and has an actuation mechanism there, so that the lock for the container roof in its position of use, i.e. . H. So the locking on the top edge of the container can be done manually from the bottom of the container, ie the bottom edge of the container.
  • Each of the actuating rods 20 is articulated at the lower end via a tab 21 to a lever 22 between its two ends, one end of which is designed as a handle and the other end of which is pivotable vertically in a fork 23 at the upper end of a vertical one about its longitudinal axis
  • Container side wall mounted pin 24 is mounted.
  • the fork 23 is the upper end of the pin 24, which is mounted in a sleeve 25 of the container side wall.
  • the hammer head 19 In the operating position of the hammer head 19, its actuating mechanism is locked in that the lever 22 lies in a latching device 26, which can be sealed, for example. In this position, the entire locking mechanism with the transmission rod 20 is inside the outer boundary profile of the container. In order to make this possible, the division of the ribs of the container side wall in the region of the closure is enlarged, so that the locking mechanism and rod 20 lie in a axis 27. In order not to have a loss of strength, the wall thickness of the container side wall is greater in the area of the pocket 27 than in the rest of the area, which is readily possible since the side wall is composed of individual metal sheets.
  • the container is designed according to the invention as follows.
  • a channel 28 is worked into the bottom plate of the container near it.
  • the length of this channel 28 corresponds at least to the length of the container roof, its width at least to the height of the container roof.
  • the depth of the trough 20 is dimensioned such that the container roof can be inserted into the trough 28 standing parallel to the container side walls and thereby comes to rest with the then upper support frame part 11 under the profile frame 8, as is shown in FIG. 3 by the chain line is shown.
  • the container roof lies in front of the profile frame 8.
  • the roof with the then lower section of the support frame 11 stands on the bottom 29 of the channel 28.
  • the container roof is secured in any way against unintentional overturning, for example by a cam or tensioning cable. Openings in the bottom of the trough and in particular the pockets 30 allow the water introduced to run out.
  • brackets 31 are inserted into the length of the gutter 28 so that they lie in front of the container roof set in the gutter 28 and are freely accessible, so that suitable lashing equipment can be introduced into it.
  • Corresponding brackets for the lashing means are welded to the profile frame 8 in the area that is not adjusted by the roof set in the channel 28 for unused entrainment.
  • eyelets 32 which are attached to the side of the container roof in the area of the saddle pieces 15 and which, when the roof is set to be carried out in the inoperative position in the channel 28, lie like the saddle pieces 15 in front of the profile frame 8 or in the pockets Protrude 30.
  • the trough is arranged in the area of a container longitudinal wall, so that the container roof can be carried upright in front of this container longitudinal wall.
  • the container can also be designed accordingly in the area of each container longitudinal wall, so that the roof can be carried upright in front of one of the two longitudinal walls depending on the operating requirements.
  • the container is accessible for loading and unloading with the roof removed without special additional measures from above.
  • the roof is brought into the container from above, diagonally to the upper open end, hanging on a hoist that engages the eyelets 32 on a longitudinal side of the roof, and then brought into the position parallel to the container side walls in front of the container side wall, at the lower end of which the gutter is located, if such a gutter is only assigned to one container side wall, otherwise in front of the side wall in front of which the roof is to be stowed.
  • the container can also be loaded in the usual way in that at least its one end wall is designed as a double door with two door leaves. With the roof on, the load can be brought into the container through the open front wall door or taken out of the container.
  • the door is mounted in a door frame that limits the circumference of the door opening and on the vertical sections of which the door leaves are pivotally mounted.
  • the upper horizontal cut 33 of the door frame is detachably mounted on the upper ends of the vertical sections of the door frame.
  • the door frame When the upper door frame section is inserted, the door frame is closed all around and has the necessary rigidity.
  • the connection between the upper and the lateral vertical frame sections can, however, also be released only on one side and then the upper frame section can be pivoted to the side around the other, articulated connection.
  • the roof can thus be inserted vertically on a hoist, hanging parallel to the container side walls, into the container without the upper horizontal door frame section interfering with the hoist.
  • the container When the roof is removed, the container is optimally accessible and can be loaded with cargo that protrudes beyond the upper edge of the container in a manner permissible in terms of traffic.
  • the container When the roof is attached, the container has the advantages of a large container that is closed on all sides. The conversion from one to the other container type is possible without great effort wherever a corresponding hoist is available. The loss of the roof can practically be ruled out.
