Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen BehÃĪlter nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a container according to the preamble of
Solche BehÃĪlter kommen vor allem bei der Herstellung von Wein- und Fruchtgummi, aber auch fÞr alle Arten von so genannten "Candy"-Produkten zum Einsatz. Dabei wird eine flÞssige und heiÃe Wein- oder Fruchtgummimasse, die in der Regel aus Glukose, Kristallzucker, Gelatine und Wasser besteht, in den BehÃĪlter gefÞllt und kÞhlt danach in dem BehÃĪlter ab, um eine feste Form zu bilden. Der Masse kÃķnnen weitere Zusatzstoffe, wie Aromen und Farbstoffe, vor dem AbkÞhlen zugefÞhrt werden. Das AbkÞhlen dauert dann Þblicherweise zwischen 2 und 5 Tagen, wobei die Masse auch trocknet. Dieser AbkÞhlungs- und Trocknungsschritt ist sehr wichtig in der Wein- und Fruchtgummiherstellung, wobei Raumtemperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit die maÃgeblichen Einflussfaktoren fÞr die QualitÃĪt des Gummis sind.Such containers are mainly used in the production of wine and fruit gums, but also for all kinds of so-called "candy" products used. In this case, a liquid and hot wine or fruit gum mass, which usually consists of glucose, granulated sugar, gelatin and water, filled in the container and then cooled in the container to form a solid form. The composition may be further additives, such as flavors and dyes, supplied before cooling. The cooling then usually takes between 2 and 5 days, with the mass also drying. This cooling and drying step is very important in the production of wine and fruit gums, where room temperature and humidity are the decisive factors influencing the quality of the rubber.
Aus der
Um ein Anhaften der Gummimasse an den BehÃĪltern zu verhindern und damit ein Entfernen des fertigen Gummis nach dessen AuskÞhlung aus dem BehÃĪlter zu ermÃķglichen, wird das BehÃĪlterinnere Þblicherweise mit StÃĪrkepuder ausgekleidet und so ein so genannter "Puderkasten" gebildet. Gleichzeitig kann der StÃĪrkepuder auch zur Formgebung dadurch verwendet werden, dass durch PrÃĪgestempel in den StÃĪrkepuder Negativabbilder der herzustellenden Gummiprodukte gepresst werden.In order to prevent adhesion of the rubber mass to the containers and thus to allow removal of the finished rubber after it has cooled out of the container, the container interior is usually lined with starch powder, thus forming a so-called "powder box". At the same time, the starch powder can also be used for shaping in that negative impressions of the rubber products to be produced are pressed by embossing dies into the starch powder.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es nun, einen BehÃĪlter anzugeben, der diesen Herstellungsprozess effizienter und damit kostengÞnstiger mÃķglich macht.The object of the present invention is now to specify a container which makes this production process more efficient and thus more cost-effective.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelÃķst mit einem BehÃĪlter gemÃĪà Anspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen dieses Gegenstandes sind dabei in den abhÃĪngigen UnteransprÞchen angegeben.This object is achieved with a container according to
Der erfindungsgemÃĪÃe BehÃĪlter hat einen BehÃĪlterboden, eine BehÃĪlterwandung und ein BehÃĪlterinneres und es ist zumindest ein Ventilationskanal vorgesehen, der eine LuftstrÃķmung zwischen demThe container according to the invention has a container bottom, a container wall and a container interior, and at least one ventilation channel is provided which allows an air flow between the container
BehÃĪlterboden und der BehÃĪlterwandung ermÃķglicht. Der Begriff "LuftstrÃķmung zwischen dem BehÃĪlterboden und der BehÃĪlterwandung" bedeutet dabei, dass Luft von dem Bereich unter dem BehÃĪlterboden in den Bereich neben der BehÃĪlterwandung Þbertreten kann, und umgekehrt. Dieser Ãbertritt erfolgt unabhÃĪngig von LuftstrÃķmungen um den BehÃĪlter herum. Dadurch wird unter anderem vorteilhaft sichergestellt, dass bei einer Stapelung mehrere solcher BehÃĪlter Luft vom StapelÃĪuÃeren in das BehÃĪlterinnere eines in dem Stapel befindlichen BehÃĪlters gelangen kann, und zwar durch eine LuftstrÃķmung von der Stapelseite Þber das BehÃĪlterbodenÃĪuÃere eines aufgestapelten BehÃĪlters in das BehÃĪlterinnere eines sich direkt unter dem aufgestapelten BehÃĪlters befindlichen BehÃĪlters. Anders ausgedrÞckt handelt esContainer bottom and the container wall allows. The term "air flow between the container bottom and the container wall" means that air can pass from the area under the container bottom in the area next to the container wall, and vice versa. This transition occurs independently of air currents around the container. Among other things, this advantageously ensures that in a stacking several such containers air can pass from the stack outside into the container interior of a container located in the stack, by an air flow from the stack side on the container bottom outside of a stacked container in the container interior of a directly below the container stacked on the container. In other words, it is
sich bei dem Ventilationskanal um einen Kanal, der zwischen BehÃĪlterwandung und BehÃĪlterboden eines BehÃĪlters verlÃĪuft, jedoch nicht in das BehÃĪlterinnere dieses BehÃĪlters mit einer Ãffnung reicht.in the ventilation duct around a channel which extends between the container wall and container bottom of a container, but does not extend into the container interior of this container with an opening.
Dies ist fÞr die QualitÃĪt herzustellenden Wein- und Fruchtgummis besonders wichtig. Da die Wein- und Fruchtgummimasse flÞssig und heià in den BehÃĪlter gegossen wird, mussten bisher die BehÃĪlter einzeln solange gelagert werden, bis die Masse sowohl abgekÞhlt als auch getrocknet war. Mit dem erfindungsgemÃĪÃen BehÃĪlter kann nunmehr einen wesentliche effizientere und kostengÞnstigere Herstellung von Wein- und Fruchtgummimasse dadurch erfolgen, dass viele solche BehÃĪlter Þbereinander gestapelt werden kÃķnnen und so der Stellplatz wesentlich reduziert wird. Durch die VentilationskanÃĪle kann nÃĪmlich auch im gestapelten Zustand ausreichend Luft zur Trocknung zirkulieren und gleichzeitig auch WÃĪrme durch die VentilationsÃķffnungen entweichen. Trotz der Stapelung wird aufgrund der VentilationsÃķffnungen die Trocknungs- und AbkÞhlungszeit nicht negativ beeinflusst und eine hohe Wein- und FruchtgummiqualitÃĪt wird erreicht. Die Menge der zirkulierenden Luft kann dabei durch die Anzahl und GrÃķÃe der VentilationskanÃĪle gezielt beeinflusst werden.This is especially important for the quality of wine and fruit gums. Since the wine and fruit gum mass is poured liquid and hot into the container, so far the containers had to be stored individually until the mass was both cooled and dried. With the container according to the invention, a substantially more efficient and cost-effective production of wine and fruit gum mass can now take place in that many such containers can be stacked on top of each other, thus substantially reducing the parking space. Namely, sufficient air can circulate for drying even in the stacked state by the ventilation channels and at the same time escape heat through the ventilation openings. Despite the stacking, the drying and cooling time is not adversely affected due to the ventilation openings and a high wine and fruit gum quality is achieved. The amount of circulating air can be selectively influenced by the number and size of the ventilation channels.
Der Ventilationskanal kann dabei als Durchbrechung ausgebildet, d.h. mit einer umgebenden Wand versehen sein, jedoch kann alternativ auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Ventilationskanal ohne einen Wandabschnitt im Bereich der BehÃĪlterkante zwischen BehÃĪlterwandung und BehÃĪlterboden, also als eine Art Einkerbung ausgebildet ist, die die Zirkulation ermÃķglicht.The ventilation channel can be formed as an opening, i. be provided with a surrounding wall, but may alternatively be provided that the ventilation channel is formed without a wall portion in the region of the container edge between the container wall and container bottom, so as a kind of notch, which allows the circulation.
In einer weiteren besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist der BehÃĪlter ein BehÃĪlterunterteil auf und es ist eine Einlage vorgesehen, wobei die Einlage in dem BehÃĪlterunterteil anordenbar und mit dem BehÃĪlterunterteil fest verbindbar ist. Durch diese vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung kommt nicht mehr der gesamte BehÃĪlter mit den aufzunehmenden Produkten in Kontakt, kann somit schneller gereinigt und bei Vorhaltung einer Vielzahl von Einlagen schneller wieder verwendet werden. Insbesondere bei der Wein- und Fruchtgummiherstellung kÃķnnen schon vorgepuderte Einlagen bereitgehalten werden, die dann BehÃĪlterunterteilen eingefÞgt werden, aus denen die fertigen Produkte und die benutzten Einlagen entfernt wurden. Es mÞssen also nicht so viele BehÃĪlter bevorrÃĪtigt werden, was den Herstellungsprozess kostengÞnstiger macht. AuÃerdem kÃķnnen der Einlage spezielle auf die in dem BehÃĪlter zu lagernden GegenstÃĪnde angepasste Eigenschaften gegeben werden, wobei der Herstellungsprozess des BehÃĪlters erleichtert ist, weil das BehÃĪlterunterteil beispielsweise in klassischen Spritzgussverfahren herstellbar ist und dem BehÃĪlter die notwendige StabilitÃĪt verleiht. Insbesondere soll die Einlage im BehÃĪlterinneren den BehÃĪlterboden und zumindest teilweise die BehÃĪlterwandung bedecken.In a further particularly advantageous embodiment, the container has a container lower part and there is provided an insert, wherein the insert can be arranged in the container lower part and firmly connected to the container lower part. Due to this advantageous embodiment, the entire container no longer comes into contact with the products to be picked up, thus it can be cleaned faster and reused more quickly when a large number of inserts are provided. In particular, in the production of wine and fruit gums already pre-powdered deposits can be kept, which are then inserted container bottom parts, from which the finished products and the used deposits were removed. So it does not have to be so many containers vorrÃĪtigt, which makes the manufacturing process more cost effective. In addition, the insert can be given special adapted to the objects to be stored in the container properties, the manufacturing process of the container is facilitated because the container base is produced for example in classical injection molding process and gives the container the necessary stability. In particular, the insert inside the container should cover the container bottom and at least partially the container wall.
In einer besonders bevorzugten AusfÞhrungsform ist die Einlage mit einem Fixierrahmen an dem BehÃĪlterunterteil und insbesondere an der BehÃĪlterwandung lÃķsbar fixiert. Durch diesen Fixierrahmen muss nicht die Einlage selbst Fixierungselemente aufweisen und somit kÃķnnen die zu bevorrÃĪtigenden Elemente weiter reduziert werden, weil jetzt fÞr mehrere nacheinander zu benutzende BehÃĪlter nur ein BehÃĪlterunterteil und ein Fixierrahmen sowie mehrere Einlagen notwendig sind. ZweckmÃĪÃig ist dabei die die Einlage zwischen Fixierrahmen und dem BehÃĪlterunterteil angeordnet, da sie auf diese Weise besonders sicher befestigt werden kann. Vorteilhaft sind Verrastungselemente zur lÃķsbaren Verrastung von Fixierrahmen und BehÃĪlterunterteil vorgesehen, wobei diese insbesondere als clipsartige Verrastungselemente ausgebildet sind.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the insert is releasably fixed with a fixing frame on the container base and in particular on the container wall. Due to this fixing frame, the insert itself does not have to have fixing elements, and thus the items to be preserved can be provided Elements are further reduced, because now for several successive containers to be used only one container base and a fixing frame and several deposits are necessary. Appropriately, the deposit between the fixing frame and the container base is arranged, since it can be secured in this way particularly secure. Advantageously, latching elements are provided for the releasable latching of the fixing frame and the container lower part, wherein these are designed in particular as clip-like latching elements.
ZweckmÃĪÃig weist das BehÃĪlterunterteil zumindest im Ãbergang von BehÃĪlterboden zur BehÃĪlterwandung im BehÃĪlterinneren gerundete Kantenbereiche auf. Dann lÃĪsst sich das BehÃĪlterunterteil leichter herstellen und weist insbesondere beim Spritzgussverfahren keine Einfallstellen auf. AuÃerdem lassen sich solchermaÃen ausgebildete Kantenbereiche leichter reinigen.Suitably, the lower container part, at least in the transition from the container bottom to the container wall in the container interior rounded edge regions. Then the lower container part can be produced more easily and in particular has no sink marks during the injection molding process. In addition, edge portions formed in this way can be cleaned more easily.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist die Einlage im Bezug auf das BehÃĪlterunterteil vorgeformt ausgebildet. Dann passen Einlage und BehÃĪlterunterteil formschlÞssig zusammen und die Einlage wird Þber der gesamten GrundflÃĪche von dem BehÃĪlterunterteil abgestÞtzt.In a preferred embodiment, the insert is preformed with respect to the container base. Then fit insert and container base form-fitting together and the insert is supported over the entire base of the container bottom.
Wenn die Einlage aus Einwegmaterial ausgebildet ist, ist sie besonders kostengÞnstig herstellbar und es entfallen gesonderte Reinigungsprozesse. Allerdings kann die Einlage auch aus Mehrwegmaterial bestehen.If the insert is formed of disposable material, it is particularly inexpensive to produce and it eliminates separate cleaning processes. However, the insert can also consist of reusable material.
Vorteilhaft ist die Einlage zumindest teilweise flexibel ausgebildet. Beispielsweise kann der Rand mit dem die Einlage an dem BehÃĪlterunterteil fixiert wird, steif ausgebildet sein und der Rest flexibel. Dann ist der Prozess der Entleerung des BehÃĪlters besonders einfach mÃķglich, da die Einlage dann sackartig in dem BehÃĪlterunterteil vorliegt und beim StÞrzen des BehÃĪlters sich der Sack vom BehÃĪlterboden entfernen kann. Hierzu kann erleichternd zweckmÃĪÃig vorgesehen sein, dass in dem BehÃĪlterunterteil zum BehÃĪlterinneren weisende DurchbrÞche vorgesehen sind, die einen Vakuumeffekt in Bezug auf die Einlage verhindern, diese DurchbrÞche erleichtern natÞrlich zugleich auf die EinfÞgung der Einlage in das BehÃĪlterunterteil.Advantageously, the insert is at least partially flexible. For example, the edge with which the insert is fixed to the container lower part, be rigid and the rest flexible. Then the process of emptying the container is particularly easy, since the insert is then baggy in the container base and when the container falls, the bag can be removed from the container bottom. For this purpose, it can be facilitated expedient that in the container lower part to the container interior facing breakthroughs are provided which prevent a vacuum effect in relation to the deposit, these breakthroughs facilitate, of course, at the same time on the insertion of the insert into the container base.
Besonders bevorzugt ist die in das BehÃĪlterinnere weisende OberflÃĪche der Einlage haftungsvermeidend, insbesondere haftungsverhindernd ausgebildet. Dann lÃĪsst sich das in dem BehÃĪlter gelagerte Produkt besonders leicht aus dem BehÃĪlter entfernen. Dem Fachmann ist gelÃĪufig, wie in Bezug auf bestimmt Produkte eine solche Haftungsvermeidung bzw. -verhinderung eingestellt wird. Beispielsweise kann dies dadurch geschehen, dass die OberflÃĪche hydrophob eingestellt wird und/oder die OberflÃĪchenstruktur so gestaltet wird, dass sich der bekannte Lotuseffekt einstellt.Particularly preferably, the surface of the insert pointing into the interior of the container is designed to prevent adhesion, in particular to prevent adhesion. Then the stored product in the container can be particularly easily removed from the container. It will be understood by those skilled in the art how to adjust such adhesion prevention with respect to certain products. By way of example, this can be done by setting the surface to be hydrophobic and / or by designing the surface structure such that the known lotus effect is established.
Zur Erleichterung der Handhabung des BehÃĪlters sind zweckmÃĪÃig zumindest zwei gegenÞberliegende Handgriffe in der BehÃĪlterwandung vorgesehen.To facilitate the handling of the container, at least two opposing handles are expediently provided in the container wall.
Um die Stapelung zu unterstÞtzen und auch gegenÞber einem Verrutschen sicher zu gewÃĪhrleisten, kÃķnnen an dem BehÃĪlterboden ein Stapelrand und/oder eine Stapelkante vorgesehen werden, wobei die Stapelkante bei Stapelung zweier gleicher BehÃĪlter aufeinander insbesondere formschlÞssig in den unteren BehÃĪlter eingreift bzw. ein Stapelrand eine entsprechende Stapelkante eines unteren BehÃĪlters formschlÞssig umgreift.In order to support the stacking and to ensure safe against slipping, a stacking edge and / or a stacking edge can be provided on the container bottom, the stacking edge when stacking two identical containers in particular positively engages in the lower container or a stacking edge a corresponding Stacking edge of a lower container positively engages around.

Das BehÃĪlterunterteil 5 ist ebenfalls vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt. Die Einlage 6 kann aus einem Einwegmaterial oder Mehrwegmaterial hergestellt sein und weist vorzugsweise - wie dargestellt - eine vorgeformte Form auf, die der Innenkontur des BehÃĪlterunterteils 5 formschlÞssig entspricht. Vorteilhaft ist diese Einlage 6 dahingehend flexibel ausgebildet, dass ihr Boden 19 gegenÞber dem Boden 20 des BehÃĪlterunterteils 5 auch dann sackartig abhebbar ist, wenn der umlaufende Kragen 16 an dem BehÃĪlterunterteil 5 mittels des Fixierrandes 7 fixiert ist. Hierzu kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass das BehÃĪlterunterteil 5 DurchbrÞche (nicht gezeigt) aufweist, die den Lufteintritt in den Zwischenraum zwischen Einlage 6 und BehÃĪlterunterteil 5 ermÃķglichen und so einen Vakuumeffekt verhindern. Diese Ausgestaltung ist natÞrlich auch beim ZusammenfÞgen, also Einsetzen der Einlage 6 in das BehÃĪlterunterteil 5 sinnvoll.The
Aus den
Zu erkennen ist weiterhin, dass die unteren Handgriffe 23 einen einen im BehÃĪlterboden 2 vorgesehenen Ventilationskanal 24 umgreifenden Steg 25 aufweisen, wobei der Ventilationskanal 24 eine Luftzirkulation zwischen dem Raum unter dem BehÃĪlterboden 2 und dem Raum neben der BehÃĪlterwandung 3 gestattet, jedoch keine direkte Luftzufuhr zum BehÃĪlterinneren 4. ZusÃĪtzlich sind zwischen der BehÃĪlterwandung 3 und dem BehÃĪlterboden noch weitere VentilationskanÃĪle 26 vorgesehen, die ebenfalls zur Luftzirkulation beitragen, jedoch ebenfalls keine Durchbrechung in das BehÃĪlterinnere 4 darstellen. Bei den Durchbrechungen 24, 26 handelt es sich also nur von Durchbrechungen zwischen der BehÃĪlterwandung 3 und dem BehÃĪlterboden 2, die nicht in das BehÃĪlterinnere 4 reichen. Damit diese Durchbrechungen 26 keine SchwÃĪchung des BehÃĪlterunterteils 5 bewirken, sind zwischen jeweils zwei Durchbrechungen 26 ebenfalls Versteifungsstreben 21 vorgesehen.To recognize is further that the lower handles 23 have a provided in the
Die erfindungsgemaĖÃe Ausbildung der VentilationskanÃĪle 24, 26 wie gezeigt als DurchbrÞche hat den Vorteil, dass die BehÃĪlter 1 dann eine hÃķhere StabilitÃĪt aufweisen.The inventive design of the

Die Einlage 6 ist flexibel sackartig ausgebildet und liegt wegen ihrer Vorformung an dem BehÃĪlterunterteil 5 allseitig an, so dass sie von diesem abgestÞtzt wird. Bei der Verwendung des BehÃĪlters 1 als Puderkasten in der Wein- und Fruchtgummiherstellung kann der fertige Gummi nun einfach durch StÞrzen des BehÃĪlters 1 entnommen werden und nach Auswechseln der Einlage 6 gegen eine neue kann ein neuer Herstellungsprozess beginnen. Alternativ kann natÞrlich auch die verwendete Einlage 6 direkt nochmals verwendet werden. Allerdings ist der Einlagentausch schneller zu bewerkstelligen, da so schon mit StÃĪrkepuder prÃĪparierte Einlagen 6 vorrÃĪtig gehalten werden kÃķnnen.The
Die Einlage 6 ist dabei antihaftend ausgerÞstet, wobei die OberflÃĪche der Einlage 6 hydrophob ausgebildet ist. ZusÃĪtzlich kÃķnnte die OberflÃĪche auch besonders strukturiert sein, um einen Lotuseffekt zu bewirken.The
Die Einlage 6 ist vorzugsweise aus einer Kunststofffolie gebildet, die lebensmittelecht ist im Falle einer Anwendung fÞr den Lebensmittelbereich. Jede geeignete Kunststofffolie kann im Þbrigen verwendet werden, wobei die Dicke im Bereich von 0,1 bis 1 mm liegt. Damit wird die gewÞnschte FlexibilitÃĪt gewÃĪhrleistet. Es ist aber auch mÃķglich, dass diese Kunststofffolien als bereits vorgeformte sackartige Folien verwendet werden und dabei bereits eine gewisse FormstabilitÃĪt in sich aufweisen. FÞr diesen Anwendungsfall werden insbesondere dickere Folien im Bereich von 0,5 bis 1,5 mm verwendet.The
Aus den vorstehenden AusfÞhrungen ist deutlich geworden, dass mit der vorliegenden Erfindung ein BehÃĪlter 1 zur VerfÞgung gestellt wird, der insbesondere bei der Wein- und Fruchtgummiherstellung den Herstellungsprozess aufgrund der Stapelbarkeit mit Ventilationseffekt effektiver und kostengÞnstiger gestalten lÃĪsst, wobei dennoch eine sehr gut QualitÃĪt erzielbar ist, da eine ausreichende Luft- und WÃĪrmezirkulation gewÃĪhrleistet wird. Der BehÃĪlter 1 kann natÞrlich auch fÞr andere Anwendungen vorteilhaft eingesetzt werden, insbesondere dann, wenn es auf eine ausreichende Luftzirkulation in das BehÃĪlterinnere 4 bei mehreren Þbereinander gestapelten BehÃĪltern 1 ankommt. Insbesondere ein modularer Aufbau aus BehÃĪlterunterteil 5 und Einlage 6 erleichtert eine BehÃĪlterreinigung und die Anpassung des BehÃĪlters 1 an verschiedene aufzunehmende Erzeugnisse. Der Einlage 6 kÃķnnen so ganz gezielt OberflÃĪcheneigenschaften gegeben werden, die positiv mit dem Erzeugnis zusammenwirken, die jedoch dem BehÃĪlterunterteil 5 in einem kostengÞnstigen und Þblichen Herstellungsprozess, wie beispielsweise dem SpritzgieÃen, nicht ohne weiteres verliehen werden kÃķnnen.From the foregoing it has become clear that with the present invention, a
