The invention relates to a device for storing liquids comprised of a plastic container, which is produced by a blowing process, which has a single layer or multilayer wall, and which is provided with at least one filling and emptying opening. The aim of the invention is, on the one hand, to economically manufacture a device of the aforementioned type by using inexpensive forming tools and, on the other hand, to be able to transport the device from the production site to the storing site also without incurring large expenditures. To this end, the container ( 1 ) is formed from at least two separately manufactured and largely identical container parts ( 2, 3 ), each of which comprising an approximately rectangular cross section with an underside ( 4 ) and a upper side ( 5 ) and having a height that is considerably greater than the largest cross section measure. Each of the container parts also have, on one side, a lower and an upper flow socket ( 10, 11 ), and are joined to one another in the area of these flow sockets ( 10,11 ) whereby forming one piece.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeiten, bestehend aus einem durch einen Blasvorgang hergestellten Behälter aus Kunststoff, der eine Einoder mehrschichtige Wandung aufweist und mit mindestens einer Füll- und Entleeröffnung versehen ist.The invention relates to a device for storage of liquids, consisting of a through a blowing process manufactured plastic container, the one or multilayer wall and having at least one Filling and emptying opening is provided.

Zur Aufnahme von Flüssigkeiten, insbesondere von Regenwasser und Abwasser, werden Vorrichtungen verwendet, die aus einem Behälter aus Kunststoff bestehen, der vielfach unterirdisch angeordnet bzw. in das Erdreich eingegraben wird. Derartige Behälter aus Kunststoff werden hauptsächlich im Rotationsformverfahren unter Verwendung von Glasfasern oder im Blasformverfahren hergestellt. Für im Blasformverfahren hergestellte Behälter wird hauptsächlich hochmolekulares Niederdruckpolyethylen eingesetzt, welches nicht nur preiswert ist, sondern sich auch gut verarbeiten läßt und eine gute Haltbarkeit ergibt. Blasgeformte Behälter aus Kunststoff sind jedoch in ihrer Größe begrenzt. Dies hängt damit zusammen, daß besonders große Behälter große und damit aufwendige Blasformen erforderlich machen. Darüber hinaus fallen für besonders große Behälter auch hohe Transportkosten an.For holding liquids, especially rainwater and wastewater, devices are used which consist of a Containers made of plastic, often underground arranged or buried in the soil. such Plastic containers are mainly rotational molded using glass fibers or by blow molding produced. For blow-molded Container becomes mainly high molecular weight low density polyethylene used, which not only inexpensive is, but also works well and a good one Durability results. Blow molded plastic containers however, are limited in size. This is related to that particularly large containers are large and therefore expensive Blow molding required. In addition, fall for especially large containers also high transport costs.

Um bei solchen Behältern ein großes Lagervolumen zu erreichen, ist es bei der oberirdischen Anordnung bekannt, mehrere kleinere blasgeformte Behälter nebeneinander anzuordnen und dieselben über eine Fülleitung, eine Entleerleitung sowie eine Entlüftungsleitung miteinander zu verbinden. Trotz dieser Verbindung der einzelnen Behälter untereinander besteht immer die Gefahr, daß die einzelnen Behälter nicht gleichmäßig gefüllt und gleichmäßig bzw. nicht vollständig entleert werden können. Unterirdisch gelagerte Behälter müssen so gestaltet sein, daß sie den Beanspruchungen standhalten, denen sie durch Erdlasten und Auftriebskräfte durch das Grundwasser ausgesetzt sind.In order to achieve a large storage volume in such containers, it is known in the above-ground arrangement, several arrange smaller blow-molded containers next to each other and the same via a filling line, a discharge line and to connect a vent line together. In spite of this connection of the individual containers with each other always the danger that the individual containers are not evenly filled and evenly or not completely can be emptied. Underground stored containers need be designed to withstand the stresses which they are affected by burdens and buoyancy forces by the Groundwater are exposed.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeit zu schaffen, die einerseits kostengünstig durch die Verwendung von preiswerten Formwerkzeugen gefertigt und andererseits auch ohne großen Aufwand vom Herstellungsort zum Lagerungsort transportiert werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object, a device to create storage of liquid on the one hand cost-effective through the use of inexpensive Molds made and on the other hand, even without large Expenses transported from the place of manufacture to the storage location can be.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung vorgeschlagen, daß der Behälter aus mindestens zwei getrennt gefertigten und weitgehend identischen Behälterteilen gebildet ist, die jeweils einen annähernd rechteckigen Querschnitt mit Unterboden und Oberboden besitzen, eine Höhe aufweisen, die erheblich größer als das größte Querschnittsmaß ist, die jeweils an einer Seite einen unteren und einen oberen Strömungsstutzen aufweisen und im Bereich dieser Strömungsstutzen einstückig miteinander verbunden sind.To solve this problem is according to the invention in a Device of the type described above proposed, that the container made of at least two separately manufactured and largely identical container parts is formed, each an approximately rectangular cross-section with subfloor and have topsoil, have a height, the is considerably larger than the largest cross-sectional dimension, respectively on one side a lower and an upper flow nozzle and in the area of these flow sockets are integrally connected to each other.

Die einzelnen Behälterteile der Vorrichtung zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeiten können kostengünstig mit Produktionsanlagen hergestellt werden, deren Fertigungs- bzw. Blasvolumen erheblich kleiner ist als das angestrebte Lagerungsvolumen. Die bisher erforderlichen Leitungen zwischen den einzelnen Behälterteilen zum Befüllen, Entleeren und Entlüften derselben können entfallen. The individual container parts of the device for storage of Liquids can be inexpensive with production equipment are produced, the production or blowing volume considerably smaller than the desired storage volume. The previously required lines between the individual Container parts for filling, emptying and venting the same can be omitted.

In der Fig.1 der Zeichnung ist eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeiten gezeigt, die in diesen Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem aus zwei Behälterteilen 2,3 zusammengesetzten Behälter 1 besteht. Beide Behälterteile 2,3 sind aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise aus hochmolekularem Niederdruckpolyethylen im Blasformverfahren gefertigt und besitzen einen annähernd rechteckigen Querschnitt. Jedes Behälterteil 1,2 besitzt einen Unterboden 4 und einen Oberboden 5 und weist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Höhe auf, die etwa doppelt so groß ist wie das größte Querschnittsmaß. Dies bedeutet, daß die beiden Behälterteile 2,3 eine im wesentlichen quaderförmige Gestalt besitzen. Die beiden Behälterteile 2,3 werden in vorteilhafter Weise im gleichen Blasformwerkzeug gefertigt, wobei lediglich im oberen Bereich dieses Werkzeuges ein unterschiedlicher Formeinsatz vorhanden sein muß. Dies hängt damit zusammen, daß das Behälterteil 2 in seinem oberen Bereich einen Stutzen 6 mit einer Öffnung besitzt, über die der Behälter 1 gefüllt und entleert werden kann. 1 of the drawing is a device for storage of liquids shown in this embodiment from a container composed of two container parts 2.3 container 1 exists. Both container parts 2, 3 are made of plastic, for example, from high molecular weight low density polyethylene manufactured in the blow molding process and have an approximate rectangular cross section. Each container part has 1.2 a subfloor 4 and a topsoil 5 and has in illustrated embodiment, a height about twice as large as the largest cross-sectional dimension. This means, that the two container parts 2.3 is a substantially have cuboid shape. The two container parts 2,3 are advantageously in the same blow mold manufactured, but only in the upper part of this Tool a different mold insert be present got to. This is related to the fact that the container part 2 in has a connecting piece 6 with an opening at its upper area, over which the container 1 is filled and emptied can.

Im mittleren Bereich der beiden Behälterteile 2,3 sind in der umlaufenden Mantelfläche 7 Sicken 8 eingeformt, die horizontal umlaufen und die der Versteifung des Mantelkörpers 7 dienen. Die Tiefe und der Querschnitt dieser Sicken 8 kann gleich ausgebildet sein. Es ist jedoch vorteilhaft und erhöht die Stabilität der Behälterteile 2,3, wenn die Sicken 8 die in den Figuren 3 bis 8 wiedergegebenen Querschnittsformen aufweisen. Aus diesen Darstellungen geht hervor, daß die Sicken 8 in den Eckbereichen des Mantelkörpers 7, von unten bzw. von oben an Tiefe zunehmen, was die Figuren 4 bis 7 sehr deutlich erkennen lassen. Dabei ist die Tiefe der Sicken 8 in den Endbereichen des Mantelkörpers 7 gemäß den Figuren 6 bis 7 am größten sind.In the central region of the two container parts 2, 3 are in the circumferential lateral surface 7 beads 8 formed, the horizontal revolve and the stiffening of the shell body 7 serve. The depth and cross section of these beads 8 can be trained the same be. However, it is advantageous and increases the stability the container parts 2,3, when the beads 8 in the figures Have 3 to 8 reproduced cross-sectional shapes. From these illustrations, it can be seen that the beads 8 in the corner regions of the jacket body 7, from below or from increase in depth at the top, which is the figures 4 to 7 very clear reveal. The depth of the beads is 8 in the end regions of the jacket body 7 according to the figures 6 to 7 are the largest.

Zur weiteren Stabilisierung der Behälterteile 2,3 sind im Bereich des Unterbodens 4 und des Oberbodens 5 ebenfalls Sicken 9 vorgesehen, die in etwa rechtwinkelig zur Längsachse der Behälterteile 2,3 verlaufen. Durch diese Sicken 9 wird der Erdauflast und den durch das Grundwasser auftretenden Kräften Rechnung getragen. Gemäß der Fig.1 der Zeichnung sind also beide Behälterteile 2,3 bis kurz vor dem Oberboden 5 vollkommen gleich ausgebildet. Der Oberboden 5 des Behälterteiles 2 weist gegenüber dem Behälterteil 3 jedoch eine andere Form auf, da sich dort der Stutzen 6 mit der Öffnung befindet. Dieser Unterschied zwischen den Behälterteilen 2,3 läßt sich ohne verhältnismäßig großen Aufwand dadurch erreichen, daß im oberen Bereich der für beide Behälterteile 2,3 gleichen Blasform ein anderer Formeinsatz verwendet wird.For further stabilization of the container parts 2,3 are in Area of the lower floor 4 and the upper floor 5 also Beading 9 provided, which is approximately at right angles to the longitudinal axis the container parts 2,3 run. Through these beads 9 becomes the earth load and that arising from the groundwater Forces. According to the Fig.1 of the drawing So are both container parts 2.3 to shortly before the topsoil 5 completely the same education. The topsoil 5 of the container part 2, however, has a relation to the container part 3 other shape, since there is the nozzle 6 with the opening located. This difference between the container parts 2,3 can be achieved without a relatively large effort, that in the upper region of the two container parts 2.3 same blow mold another mold insert is used.

Jedes Behälterteil 2,3 weist an einer Seitenfläche zwei mit Abstand übereinander angeordnete Stutzen 10,11 auf, die eine verhältnismäßig große Strömungsöffnung begrenzen. Dabei befindet sich der Stutzen 10 im untersten Bereich und der Stutzen 11 im obersten Bereich der Behälterteile 2,3. Über diese Stutzen 10,11 sind beide Behälterteile 2,3 durch Schmelzschweißung fest und damit einstückig miteinander verbunden, so daß sich ein einstückiger Behälter 1 ergibt.Each container part 2, 3 has two on one side surface Distance one above the other arranged nozzle 10,11, the one limit relatively large flow opening. It is located the nozzle 10 in the lowest area and the Stub 11 in the upper region of the container parts 2,3. about These nozzles 10,11 are both container parts 2,3 by Fusion welding firmly and thus integrally connected, so that a one-piece container 1 results.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn einer der beiden miteinander zu verbindenden Stutzen 10,11 ein Zentrierteil besitzt, welches so bemessen ist, daß es in den gegenüberliegenden Stutzen 10,11 führend eingesteckt werden kann. Dies erleichtert die Verbindung der beiden Behälterteile 2,3.It is beneficial if one of the two is related to each other connecting nozzle 10,11 has a centering part, which so that it is in the opposite neck 10,11 leader can be inserted. This facilitates the Connection of the two container parts 2,3.

Durch diese beschriebene Ausgestaltung ist es möglich, mehrere kleine Behälterteile 2,3 in einem preiswerten Blasformwerkzeug herzustellen, kostengünstig zu transportieren und am Einsatzort, beispielsweise in einer ausgehobenen Grube, einstückig zum Behälter 1 zu verbinden. Dabei ist es grundsätzlich möglich, mehr als zwei Behälterelemente 2,3 miteinander zu verbinden. Dies setzt jedoch voraus, daß ein Behälterelement gefertigt wird, welches an zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Mantelkörpers 7 Stutzen 10,11 aufweist, die dann mit den Stutzen 10,11 der Behälterteile 2,3 verbindbar sind. Eine Verbindung durch Schmelzschweißen ist zwar vorteilhaft, aber nicht unbedingt erforderlich. Das Schmelzschweißen gibt die Möglichkeit, die Behälterteile 2,3 sehr nah aneinander anzuordnen. Beispielsweise bei der Verwendung von Verbindungsflanschen an den Stutzen 10,11 muß so viel Platz vorhanden sein, daß Befestigungsschrauben angebracht werden können.This described embodiment makes it possible to have several small container parts 2,3 in a cheap blow mold produce, transport cost-effective and at the place of use, for example in a dug pit, to connect in one piece to the container 1. It is basically possible, more than two container elements 2,3 together connect to. However, this assumes that a container element is made, which on two opposite Sides of the jacket body 7 has stubs 10,11, then connectable to the nozzle 10,11 of the container parts 2,3 are. A connection by fusion welding is Although advantageous, but not essential. The Fusion welding gives the possibility of the container parts 2,3 to arrange very close to each other. For example, in use of connecting flanges to the nozzle 10,11 must so There should be plenty of room that mounting screws attached can be.
