Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen erweiterbaren Container, insbesondere als Arbeitsraum, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to an expandable container, in particular as a work space, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein erweiterbarer Container ist z.B. aus der DE-G 92 16 314.9 bekannt. Er umfasst einen Basiscontainer mit klappbaren Seitenwänden sowie einem oder mehreren aus dem Basiscontainer ausfahrbaren Erweiterungselementen. Ein Erweiterungselement umfasst zwei Seitenwände und eine Frontwand. Im Zustand mit ausgefahrenem Erweiterungselement bilden zwei aufgeklappte Seitenwände des Basiscontainers Dachwand und Bodenwand eines Erweiterungselements. Nachteilig an dieser Ausführung sind die großen Dichtungslängen, die für die Abdichtung des Containers entlang von Dach- und Bodenwand notwendig sind. Dies ist insbesondere bei der Forderung nach ABC-Dichtigkeit problematisch.An expandable container is known for example from DE-G 92 16 314.9 . It comprises a base container with hinged side walls and one or more extendable from the base container expansion elements. An extension element comprises two side walls and a front wall. In the state with extended extension element form two unfolded side walls of the base container roof wall and bottom wall of an extension element. A disadvantage of this design, the large sealing lengths that are necessary for the sealing of the container along the roof and bottom wall. This is particularly problematic in the demand for ABC-tightness.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Container gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruch 1 ist aus der EP 0 682 156 B1 bekannt. Er umfasst einen Basiscontainer sowie zur Erweiterung des Innenraums ein oder mehrere Erweiterungselemente, die aus dem Basiscontainer ausfahrbar sind. Die Erweiterungselemente sind kastenförmig und - mit Ausnahme der offenen Seite zum Basiscontainer hin - allseitig geschlossen. Zur Erreichung eines ebenen Bodens innerhalb des gesamten Containers ist außerdem eine Hubeinrichtung vorhanden, mit der die Erweiterungselemente derart absenkbar sind, dass nach dem Absenken die Bodenwände von Basiscontainer und Erweiterungselement auf gleicher Höhe liegen.A generic container according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP 0 682 156 B1 . It comprises a base container and, to expand the interior, one or more extension elements which can be extended from the base container. The extension elements are box-shaped and - with the exception of the open side to the base container - closed on all sides. To achieve a flat bottom within the entire container also has a lifting device with which the extension elements are lowered so that after lowering the bottom walls of base container and extension element are at the same height.

Bei der Ausführung mit zwei Erweiterungselementen müssen die Dimensionen der beiden Erweiterungselemente so gewählt werden, dass das eine Erweiterungselement in das andere Erweiterungselement eingefahren werden kann. Daraus resultiert, dass insbesondere im kleineren der beiden Erweiterungselemente die Stehhöhe relativ gering ausfällt (ca. 190 cm).When running with two extension elements, the dimensions of the two extension elements are chosen so that the one extension element can be retracted into the other extension element. This results, that in particular in the smaller of the two extension elements, the standing height relatively small fails (about 190 cm).

Ein weiterer Nachteil dieses Containers ist der Umstand, dass der durch Umgebungseinflüsse üblicherweise am stärksten verschmutzte Bereich, nämlich die Dachwand eines Erweiterungselements, beim Wiedereinfahren der Erweiterungselemente in den Innenraum des Basiscontainers gelangt. Dies ist vor allem dann problematisch, wenn der Container für medizinische Zwecke, zum Beispiel als Operationsraum genutzt wird.Another disadvantage of this container is the fact that by environmental influences usually the most polluted area, namely the Roof wall of an extension element, when retracting the extension elements gets into the interior of the base container. This is especially true problematic if the container for medical purposes, for example as Operating room is used.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine gattungsgemäßen erweiterbaren Container derart zu verbessern, dass bei verbesserter Stehhöhe die beschriebenen Probleme bei der Kontamination seiner Außenoberflächen vermieden werden.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a generic expandable container to improve such that with improved standing height the problems described be avoided in the contamination of its outer surfaces.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit dem Gegenstand des Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen des erfindungsgemäßen Containers sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved with the subject of claim 1. advantageous Embodiments of the container according to the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Container sind insbesondere folgende Vorteile verbunden:

  • verbesserte Stehhöhe;
  • einfache Abdichtung, kurze Dichtungslängen;
  • vereinfachte Dekontamination.
The following advantages are associated in particular with the container according to the invention:
  • improved standing height;
  • simple sealing, short sealing lengths;
  • simplified decontamination.

Die Fig. 1 bis 4 zeigen die einzelnen Schritte beim Aufbau eines erfindungsgemäßen erweiterbaren Containers mit zwei Erweiterungselementen. In Fig. 1 ist der Ausgangszustand (Transportzustand) dargestellt. Der kastenförmige Basiscontainer 1 enthält die beiden Erweiterungselemente 10, 20. Dabei ist das Erweiterungselement 20 in das (hinsichtlich Länge und Höhe, siehe auch Fig. 6) etwas größere Erweiterungselement 10 eingefahren. Man erkennt jeweils Bodenwand 15,25 und Frontwand 16,26 der beiden Erweiterungselemente 10,20 sowie eine Seitenwand 27 des inneren Erweiterungselements 20. Die Höhe der Frontwand 16,26 eines Erweiterungselements ist in der gezeigten Ausführung etwas höher gewählt als die Höhe der zugehörigen Seitenwand 27. Der Basiscontainer 1 weist Bodenwand 2, Dachwand 3 sowie zwei abklappbare Seitenwände 4,5 auf.Figs. 1 to 4 show the individual steps in the construction of an inventive Expandable container with two extension elements. In Fig. 1, the initial state (Transport state) shown. The box-shaped base container 1 contains the two extension elements 10, 20. Here is the extension element 20 in the (in terms of length and height, see also Fig. 6) slightly larger extension element 10 retracted. You can see the bottom wall 15,25 and front wall 16,26 of the two extension elements 10,20 and a side wall 27 of the inner extension element 20. The height of the front wall 16,26 of an extension element is chosen slightly higher than the height of the associated side wall 27. The base container 1 has bottom wall 2, roof wall. 3 and two hinged side walls 4.5 on.

In Fig. 2 ist das kleinere Erweiterungselement 20 bereits teilweise ausgefahren. Vor dem Ausfahren wird die Seitenwand 5 des Basiscontainers 1 nach oben abgeklappt. Zum Ausfahren werden Führungsschienen 50 (typischerweise zwei Führungsschienen pro Erweiterungselement) eingesetzt, die ihrerseits aus dem Basiscontainer ausgefahren werden können. Das Erweiterungselement 20 wird mittels Rollen 52, welche über die Führungsschienen 50 abrollen, bewegt. Die Länge des Fußes, an dessen Unterseite die Rollen 52 gelagert sind, ist so bemessen, dass die Bodenwand 25 des Erweiterungselements während des Ausfahrens in horizontaler Lage bleibt.In Fig. 2, the smaller extension member 20 is already partially extended. In front the extension, the side wall 5 of the base container 1 is folded upwards. For extension, guide rails 50 (typically two guide rails per extension element) used, which in turn from the base container can be extended. The extension member 20 is by means of rollers 52, which roll over the guide rails 50, moves. The length of the foot, on the underside of the rollers 52 are mounted, is sized so that the bottom wall 25 of the expansion element remains in a horizontal position during extension.

In Fig. 3 ist das kleinere Erweiterungselement 20 bereits vollständig ausgefahren und anschließend, nach Erreichen des Endbereichs der Führungsschienen 50 abgesenkt worden, so dass nun die Bodenwand 25 des Erweiterungselements 20 auf der gleichen Höhe liegt wie die Bodenwand 2 des Basiscontainers 1. Die Vorrichtung zum Absenken des Erweiterungselements 20 ist bevorzugt zwischen Erweiterungselement 10 und Basiscontainer 1 angeordnet und wirksam. In der dargestellten Ausführung sind zum Absenken am äußeren Ende der Führungsschiene 50 nach außen abfallende Schrägstufen 55 vorhanden. Entsprechende Schrägstufen befinden sich auch an dem dem Erweiterungselement 20 zugewandten Rand der Bodenwand 2 des Basiscontainers 1. Das Ausfahren und Absenken des größeren Erweiterungselements 10 erfolgt analog. Da dieses Erweiterungselement 10 während des Ausfahrens auf einer Seite direkt auf der Bodenwand 2 des Basiscontainers 1 aufliegt, wird es um einen geringere Distanz abgesenkt als das kleinere Erweiterungselement 20, welches während des Ausfahrens auf der Bodenwand 15 des Erweiterungselements 10 aufliegt.In Fig. 3, the smaller extension member 20 is already fully extended and subsequently lowered after reaching the end region of the guide rails 50 been so that now the bottom wall 25 of the extension member 20 on the the same height as the bottom wall 2 of the base container 1. The device for lowering the extension element 20 is preferably between extension element 10 and basic container 1 arranged and effective. In the illustrated Execution are for lowering the outer end of the guide rail 50 after outside falling sloping steps 55 available. Corresponding oblique steps are located also on the extension element 20 facing edge of the bottom wall 2 of the basic container 1. The extension and lowering of the larger extension element 10 takes place analogously. Since this extension element 10 during the Extension on one side directly on the bottom wall 2 of the base container. 1 rests, it is lowered by a smaller distance than the smaller extension element 20, which during the extension on the bottom wall 15 of the Extension element 10 rests.

Insbesondere bei der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Ausführung mit Schrägstufen kann das Ausfahren, Absenken, Anheben und Einfahren eines Erweiterungselements 10,20 vorteilhaft durch eine zwischen Basiscontainer 1 und Erweiterungselement 10,20 wirkende, manuell betätigbare Windeneinrichtung erfolgen.In particular, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 with inclined stages, the Extending, lowering, raising and retracting an extension element 10, 20 advantageous by a between base container 1 and extension element 10,20 acting, manually operable winch device done.

Zur Verzögerung der Absenkbewegung eines Erweiterungselements 10,20 können Widerstandselemente eingesetzt werden, z.B. in Form einer Schraubenfeder (siehe EP 0 682 156 B1).To delay the lowering of an extension element 10,20 resistance elements can be used, for example in the form of a helical spring (see EP 0 682 156 B1 ).

Alternativ zu dem Absenken der Erweiterungselemente mittels Schrägstufen 55 können die Führungsschienen auch als Hubschienen ausgebildet sein (siehe z.B. EP 0 760 040 B1). Dazu wird die Führungschiene in zwei parallele, übereinander angeordnete Teilschienen aufgeteilt, wobei die eine gegenüber der anderen Teilschiene, z.B. mittels eines Hydraulikzylinders, gehoben und gesenkt werden kann.As an alternative to lowering the extension elements by means of inclined steps 55, the guide rails can also be designed as lifting rails (see, for example, EP 0 760 040 B1 ). For this purpose, the guide rail is divided into two parallel sub-rails arranged one above the other, wherein one can be raised and lowered relative to the other sub-rail, for example by means of a hydraulic cylinder.

Die Führungschienen 50 (ausgebildet als normale Führungsschienen oder als Hubschiene) können anstatt unterhalb der Erweiterungselemente 10,20 vorteilhaft auch seitlich versetzt zu den Erweiterungselementen 10,20 angeordnet sein. Dies hat insbesondere dann Vorteile, wenn zur Stabilisierung der ausgefahrenen Erweiterungselemente an deren Seitenwänden (parallel zu diesen) Diagonalstreben angeordnet werden. Da Diagonalstrebe und Führungsschiene dann in derselben Ebene liegen, können die Abstützmomente ohne Versatzmoment in das Containerdach eingeleitet werden. Dadurch entfällt eine ansonsten notwendige Querstrebe zwischen den zueinander parallelen Führungsschienen, was letztendlich zu einer Verkürzung der Aufbauzeit des Containers führt.The guide rails 50 (designed as normal guide rails or as Hubschiene) instead of below the extension elements 10,20 advantageous also be arranged laterally offset to the extension elements 10,20. this has especially advantages if to stabilize the extended extension elements arranged on the side walls (parallel to these) diagonal struts become. Since diagonal strut and guide rail then in the same plane lie, the Abstützmomente can without offset moment in the container roof be initiated. This eliminates an otherwise necessary cross strut between the mutually parallel guide rails, which ultimately leads to a shortening the construction time of the container leads.

Fig. 4 zeigt die Situation, bei der beiden Erweiterungselemente 10,20 vollständig ausgefahren und abgesenkt sind. Beispielhafte Maße für die minimale Stehhöhe in den beiden Erweiterungselementen sind jeweils angegeben. Durch das Absenken der Erweiterungselemente 10,20 kommen die beiden die Dachwand der Erweiterungselemente 10,20 bildenden klappbaren Seitenwände 4,5 schräg, nach außen abfallend zu liegen. Dabei ist prinzipbedingt die Steigung bei dem kleineren Erweiterungselement 20 etwas größer. Somit ist insbesondere gewährleistet, dass Regenwasser von den Dichtungen beim Übergang Basiscontainer/Erweiterungselement weggeleitet werden.Fig. 4 shows the situation where the two extension elements 10,20 completely extended and lowered. Exemplary dimensions for the minimum standing height in the two extension elements are indicated respectively. By lowering the extension elements 10,20 come the two the roof wall of the extension elements 10,20 forming hinged side walls 4,5 obliquely, outwards to fall down. This is due to the principle of the slope in the smaller extension element 20 something bigger. Thus, it is especially ensured that rainwater from the seals at the transition base container / extension element be routed away.

Wie bereits aus den Fig. 1 bis 3 zu erkennen, sind an der Oberkante der Seitenwände 17,27 trapezförmige Zusatzflächenelemente 18,28 klappbar angebracht. Nach dem die Erweiterungselemente vollständig ausgefahren und abgesenkt sind, können diese - wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt - hochgeklappt werden, so dass die Spalte zwischen Dachwand 4,5 und Seitenwand 17,27 geschlossen werden. Schnittzeichnung entlang der Linien B-B und A-A verdeutlichen den Klappvorgang im Detail. Es ergibt sich somit ein vollständig nach außen abgeschlossener Containerinnenraum. Selbstverständlich können die Zusatzflächenelemente 18,28 auch baulich getrennt von den Containerelementen als separate Bauteile transportiert werden, und bei Bedarf eingefügt werden.As can already be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, are at the upper edge of the side walls 17,27 trapezoidal additional surface elements 18,28 mounted hinged. To the extension elements are fully extended and lowered, can these - as shown in Fig. 4 - are folded up, so that the gaps between Roof wall 4.5 and side wall 17,27 closed. Sectional drawing along Lines B-B and A-A illustrate the folding process in detail. It turns out thus a container interior completely closed to the outside. Of course, the additional surface elements 18,28 also structurally separated be transported by the container elements as separate components, and in Need to be inserted.

Fig. 5 zeigt einen voll ausgebreiteten Container in Seitenansicht. Wie man daraus erkennen kann, ist an der Frontwand eines Erweiterungselements 10 eine Tür 99 angebracht. Fig. 5 shows a fully expanded container in side view. How to get out of it can recognize, is on the front wall of an extension element 10, a door 99th appropriate.

Fig. 6 zeigt einen horizontalen Schnitt entlang A-A durch den Container nach Fig. 5, der einem Grundriss des Containers entspricht. Beispielhafte Bemaßungen sind angegeben. Man erkennt den Basiscontainer 1, sowie kleineres 20 und größeres 10 Erweiterungselement. Innerhalb des Basiscontainers befindet sich in dieser Ausführung ein Technikraum 60, in dem z.B. Energieversorgung und Klimatisierung für den Arbeitsraum des Containers untergebracht werden können.FIG. 6 shows a horizontal section along A-A through the container according to FIG. 5, FIG. which corresponds to a floor plan of the container. Exemplary dimensions are specified. One recognizes the base container 1, as well as smaller 20 and larger 10 Extension element. Inside the basic container is in this version a technical room 60 in which e.g. Energy supply and air conditioning for the Working space of the container can be accommodated.

Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Beispiele zeigen jeweils Ausführungen mit genau zwei Erweiterungselementen. Selbstverständlich sind auch Ausführungen mit genau einem Erweiterungselement möglich. Der Ausfahrvorgang sowie der Absenkvorgang geschieht anaolog zu den dargestellten Abläufen für die einzelnen Erweiterungselemente 10,20.The examples shown in the drawings show each with versions exactly two extension elements. Of course, versions are also available exactly one extension element possible. The extension process as well as the lowering process happens analogously to the illustrated processes for the individual extension elements 10.20.
