Description

La présente invention concerne un conteneur à palette empilable.The present invention relates to a stackable pallet container.

Il existe actuellement de nombreux types de conteneur à palette empilable pour le transport et/ou le stockage de matières dangereuses, de produits chimiques ou alimentaires ou de solides pulvérulents. Des exemples peuvent être trouvés dans les brevets FR2763044 ou FR2728238 .There are currently many types of stackable pallet containers for transporting and / or storing hazardous materials, chemical or food products or powdery solids. Examples can be found in patents FR2763044 or FR2728238 .

Typiquement, ces conteneurs à palette comportent une poche intérieure munie d'un robinet et d'une ouverture de remplissage fermée par un couvercle, une cage périphérique de protection encerclant la poche intérieure pour renforcer le conteneur, ladite cage de protection prenant la forme d'un treillis métallique constitué de barres verticales et horizontales soudées entre elles à leurs points de croisement respectifs, et une palette inférieure en bois, en matière plastique ou métal sur laquelle repose la poche intérieure.Typically, these pallet containers comprise an inner pocket provided with a tap and a filling opening closed by a cover, a peripheral protective cage encircling the inner pocket to reinforce the container, said protective cage taking the form of a wire mesh consisting of vertical and horizontal bars welded together at their respective crossing points, and a lower wooden pallet, plastic or metal on which the inner pocket rests.

Cependant, ces solutions ne donnent pas entièrement satisfaction car la rigidité de l'ensemble n'est pas optimisée et il est difficile d'empiler de tels conteneurs.However, these solutions are not entirely satisfactory because the rigidity of the assembly is not optimized and it is difficult to stack such containers.

Une solution à ce problème a été proposée notamment dans les brevets FR2596360 et EP2623435 qui décrivent des conteneurs similaires à ceux décrits précédemment mais dans lesquels une structure de renfort supérieur (traverse de gerbage) est présente notamment pour permettre l'empilement des conteneurs.A solution to this problem has been proposed in particular in patents FR2596360 and EP2623435 which describe containers similar to those described above but in which an upper reinforcement structure (stacking crossbeam) is present in particular for stacking containers.

Malgré tout, ces dispositifs de renfort ne donnent pas satisfaction pour une bonne répartition de la charge en cas d'empilement.Nevertheless, these reinforcing devices are unsatisfactory for a good distribution of the load in case of stacking.

Un but de la présente invention est donc de résoudre le problème cité précédemment, à l'aide d'une solution simple à fabriquer, peu coûteuse, facile à utiliser et optimisée en termes d'efficacité.An object of the present invention is therefore to solve the problem mentioned above, using a simple solution to manufacture, inexpensive, easy to use and optimized in terms of efficiency.

Ainsi, la présente invention a pour objet un conteneur à palette empilable pour le transport et/ou le stockage de matières dangereuses, de produits chimiques ou alimentaires ou de solides pulvérulents, comprenant au moins :

  • une poche intérieure parallélépipédique en polyéthylène haute densité munie en partie basse d'un robinet et comportant en son sommet une ouverture de remplissage fermée par un couvercle,
  • une cage périphérique de protection encerclant ladite poche intérieure pour renforcer le conteneur, ladite cage de protection prenant la forme d'un treillis métallique constitué de barres verticales et horizontales soudées entre elles à leurs points de croisement respectifs,
  • une palette inférieure en bois, en matière plastique ou métal, sur laquelle repose la poche intérieure,
  • une armature supérieure de renfort reliant les côtés de la cage périphérique en partie haute de cette dernière pour rigidifier le conteneur,
caractérisé en ce que l'armature de renfort comporte au moins quatre barres rigides indépendantes disposées dans un même plan et étant chacune reliée de manière amovible en diagonale à deux côtés adjacents de la cage au moyen de pattes de fixation.Thus, the present invention relates to a stackable pallet container for transporting and / or storing hazardous materials, chemical or food products or powdery solids, comprising at least:
  • a parallelepiped inner pocket made of high density polyethylene provided at the bottom of a tap and having at its top a filling opening closed by a cover,
  • a peripheral protective cage encircling said inner pocket to reinforce the container, said protective cage taking the form of a wire mesh consisting of vertical and horizontal bars welded together at their respective crossing points,
  • a lower wooden, plastic or metal pallet on which the inner pocket rests,
  • a reinforcement upper reinforcement connecting the sides of the peripheral cage in the upper part of the latter to stiffen the container,
characterized in that the reinforcing armature comprises at least four independent rigid bars arranged in the same plane and being each connected in a detachable manner diagonally to two adjacent sides of the cage by means of fastening tabs.

Selon des modes de réalisation préférés, le conteneur conforme à la présente invention comprend l'une au moins des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • toutes les barres de l'armature de renfort sont identiques et chacune comporte une portion centrale principale rectiligne se poursuivant de part et d'autre par une portion coudée de sorte que l'extrémité de chaque portion coudée soit perpendiculaire au côté de la cage de renfort auquel ladite barre est reliée ;

  • les branches de chaque patte de fixation sont reliées entre elles à l'aide d'au moins une vis destinée à rapprocher lesdites branches pour former une mâchoire de serrage de manière à maintenir fermement ladite barre sur la cage périphérique ;
  • la poche intérieure présente en son sommet un évidement dans lequel l'armature de renfort est logée ;
  • l'évidement présente une profondeur telle que l'armature de renfort ne dépasse pas du sommet de la poche intérieure, ou l'affleure ; et
  • l'évidement épouse la forme des barres et présente à cet effet une portion rectiligne se poursuivant par au moins une portion coudée pour recevoir une des portions coudées de chaque barre.
According to preferred embodiments, the container according to the present invention comprises at least one of the following characteristics:
  • all the reinforcing reinforcement bars are identical and each comprises a rectilinear main central portion continuing on either side by a bent portion so that the end of each bent portion is perpendicular to the side of the reinforcement cage which said bar is connected;
  • each fixing lug is welded to the ends of each bar and has a generally inverted "U" shape that overlaps the upper periphery of the lattice and has a first branch engaged on the outside of the peripheral cage and a second branch secured to the bar ;

La figure 1 représente un conteneur 1 conforme à la présente invention qui peut être utilisé en particulier pour le transport et/ou le stockage de matières dangereuses (acides par exemple), de produits chimiques ou alimentaires ou de solides pulvérulents.The figure 1 represents a container 1 according to the present invention which can be used in particular for the transport and / or storage of hazardous materials (acids for example), chemicals or food or powdery solids.

Ce conteneur 1 se compose essentiellement d'une palette inférieure 10 sur laquelle repose une poche 20 intérieure parallélépipédique en polyéthylène haute densité munie en partie basse 21 d'un robinet de vidange 22 et comportant en son sommet 23 une ouverture de remplissage fermée par un couvercle 24.This container 1 consists essentially of a lower pallet 10 on which rests a parallelepipedic inner pocket of high density polyethylene provided in the lower part 21 of a drain valve 22 and having at its top 23 a filling opening closed by a lid 24.

La palette 10 est par exemple en matière plastique et présente diverses ouvertures 11 et 12 qui se croisent pour le passage des fourches d'un véhicule de manutention.The pallet 10 is for example plastic and has various openings 11 and 12 which intersect for the passage of the forks of a handling vehicle.

La poche intérieure 20 est quant à elle entourée par une cage périphérique de protection 30 pour renforcer le conteneur 1, ladite cage de protection 30 prenant la forme d'un treillis métallique 31 constitué de barres verticales 32 et horizontales 33 soudées entre elles à leurs points de croisement respectifs 34 pour former des parois 35 présentant un pourtour supérieure 36.The inner pocket 20 is surrounded by a peripheral protective cage 30 to strengthen the container 1, said protective cage 30 in the form of a wire mesh 31 consisting of vertical bars 32 and horizontal 33 welded together at their points respective cross sections 34 to form walls 35 having an upper periphery 36.

En partie haute du conteneur 1 se trouve une armature supérieure de renfort 40 en tubes d'acier reliant les parois 35 de la cage périphérique de renfort 30 pour rigidifier le conteneur.In the upper part of the container 1 is a reinforcing upper reinforcement 40 in steel tubes connecting the walls 35 of the reinforcing peripheral cage 30 to stiffen the container.

Plus précisément, l'armature de renfort 40 est reliée à la cage périphérique de renfort 30 de manière amovible au moyen de pattes de fixation 50 en prise avec le treillis 31.More specifically, the reinforcing armature 40 is connected to the peripheral reinforcing cage 30 removably by means of fastening tabs 50 engaged with the mesh 31.

Comme cela est illustré en particulier par les figures 4 à 7, l'armature de renfort 40 comporte en réalité quatre barres rigides indépendantes 41 disposées dans un même plan au-dessus de la poche 20, lesdites barres 41 présentant par exemple une section carrée et étant réalisées en acier. Chaque barre 40 relie en diagonale deux côtés adjacents 35 de la cage périphérique de renfort 30.As illustrated in particular by the Figures 4 to 7 the reinforcing armature 40 actually comprises four independent rigid bars 41 arranged in the same plane above the pocket 20, said bars 41 having for example a square section and being made of steel. Each bar 40 connects diagonally two adjacent sides 35 of the peripheral reinforcing cage 30.

Plus précisément, chaque barre 41 comporte une portion centrale principale rectiligne 42 se poursuivant de part et d'autre par une portion coudée 43 sensiblement en forme de « S » de sorte que l'extrémité 43a de chaque portion coudée 43 soit perpendiculaire au côté 35 de la cage périphérique de renfort 30 auquel ladite barre 41 est reliée.More specifically, each bar 41 has a rectilinear main central portion 42 continuing on either side by a bent portion 43 substantially shaped "S" so that the end 43a of each bent portion 43 is perpendicular to the side 35 the reinforcing peripheral cage 30 to which said bar 41 is connected.

Comme cela est visible sur les figures 6 et 7, chaque patte de fixation 50 présente une forme générale de « U » inversé chevauchant le pourtour supérieure 36 du treillis 31 et comporte une première branche 51 en prise sur l'extérieur de la cage périphérique de renfort 30 et une seconde branche 52 solidaire de l'extrémité 43a de la barre 41 correspondante, par exemple par soudure.As is visible on the figures 6 and 7 each fastening tab 50 has a generally inverted "U" shape that overlaps the upper periphery 36 of the lattice 31 and includes a first branch 51 engaged on the outside of the reinforcing peripheral cage 30 and a second branch 52 integral with the end 43a of the corresponding bar 41, for example by welding.

En outre, les branches 51 et 52 de chaque patte de fixation 50 sont reliées entre elles à l'aide d'au moins une vis 53 de façon à rapprocher lesdites branches pour former une mâchoire de serrage de manière à maintenir fermement chaque barre 41 de l'armature 40 sur la cage périphérique de renfort 30.In addition, the branches 51 and 52 of each bracket 50 are interconnected by means of at least one screw 53 so as to bring said branches together to form a clamping jaw. in order to firmly hold each bar 41 of the frame 40 on the peripheral reinforcing cage 30.

Comme cela est représenté sur les figures 8 à 10, la poche intérieure 20 présente en son sommet 23 un évidement 26 dans lequel l'armature de renfort 40 est logée.As shown on the Figures 8 to 10 , the inner pocket 20 has at its top 23 a recess 26 in which the reinforcing armature 40 is housed.

Plus précisément, l'évidement 26 présente une profondeur telle que chaque barre 41 de l'armature de renfort ne dépasse pas du sommet 23 de la poche 20, ou l'affleure.More specifically, the recess 26 has a depth such that each bar 41 of the reinforcing armature does not protrude from the top 23 of the pocket 20, or outcrops it.

Avantageusement, l'évidement 26 épouse la forme des barres 41 et présente à cet effet une portion rectiligne 27 se poursuivant par au moins une portion coudée 28 pour recevoir une des portions coudées 43 de chaque barre.Advantageously, the recess 26 matches the shape of the bars 41 and has for this purpose a rectilinear portion 27 continuing with at least one bent portion 28 to receive one of the bent portions 43 of each bar.

Le conteneur 1 ainsi réalisé présente une bonne rigidité lui permettant de résister aux chocs et d'être empilable. Par ailleurs, l'armature de renfort 40 étant amovible, il est possible, si besoin, de retirer la poche intérieure 20 pour la changer ou la réparer.The container 1 thus produced has good rigidity to resist shock and be stackable. Furthermore, the reinforcing armature 40 being removable, it is possible, if necessary, to remove the inner bag 20 to change or repair.

Il va de soi que la description détaillée de l'objet de l'Invention, donnée uniquement à titre d'illustration, ne constitue en aucune manière une limitation, les équivalents techniques étant également compris dans le champ de la présente invention.It goes without saying that the detailed description of the subject of the invention, given solely by way of illustration, does not in any way constitute a limitation, the technical equivalents also being included in the scope of the present invention.

Ainsi, la palette peut être en bois ou en matière plastique.Thus, the pallet can be wood or plastic.
