Problematik:problem:

Derartige, besonders häufig in der chemischen Industrie verwendete Palettencontainer mit einem Füllvolumen von ca. 1000 Litern weisen standardisierte Abmessungen auf. Die hier betrachteten Palettencontainer haben eine Länge von ca. 1200 mm, eine Breite von ca. 1000 mm und eine Höhe von ca. 1151 mm und dürfen im befüllten Zustand nur als 2-fach Stapel (ein untenstehender IBC und ein aufgestapelter IBC) transportiert werden. Für Langstreckentransporte mit Bahn oder LKW oder per Schiff nach Übersee werden in der Regel geschlossene 20-Fuss- oder 40-Fuß-ISO-Container verwendet. Diese ISO-Container (z. B. Maersk) weisen ebenfalls genormte Abmessungen auf (20-Fuss-Container: Länge ca. 6058 mm, Breite ca. 2500 mm, Höhe ca. 2591 mm, der 40"-Container ist bei ansonsten gleichen Abmessungen exakt doppelt so lang) und werden durch eine Hecktür be- und entladen. Für die Beladung der ISO-Container, das gilt ebenso für beide Größen (Hapag Lloyd), ist einerseits die Breite mit ca. 2343 mm und zum anderen insbesondere die Höhe mit ca. 2292 mm der Türöffnung von großer Bedeutung. Unglücklicherweise ergibt ein 2-fach Stapel von befüllten Palettencontainern in der Standard-Ausführung eine zu betrachtende Stapelhöhe von ca. 2290 mm. Die rein rechnerische doppelte Höhe von zwei Paletten-containern wäre 2 x 1151 mm = 2302 mm. Der niedrigere Wert von ca. 2290 mm ergibt sich daraus, dass der aufgestapelte Palettencontainer mit seinem bodenseitig umlaufenden Basis-Stahlrohr um ein kleines Stück von ca. 15 5 mm innerhalb des obersten horizontal umlaufenden Rohrstabes des Gitterrohr-Rahmens in diesen Gitterrohr-Rahmen eintaucht bzw. "einnestet", bis die außen über das Basis-Stahlrohr überstehenden Eck- und Mittelfüße von oben auf dem obersten horizontal umlaufenden Rohrstab zur Auflage kommen. Dabei greift der oberste horizontal umlaufende Rohrstab des Gitterrohr-Rahmens außenseitig an dem Basis-Stahlrohr vorbei in einen dort ausgebildeten Freiraum bzw. in eine Aussparung am unteren Außenrand der Eck- und Mittelfüße ein, so dass dadurch eine Sicherheit gegen Verrutschen des aufgestapelten Palettencontainers durch Transporterschütterungen gegeben ist.Such, particularly frequently used in the chemical industry pallet container with a capacity of about 1000 liters have standardized dimensions. The pallet containers considered here have a length of approx. 1200 mm, a width of approx. 1000 mm and a height of approx. 1151 mm and may only be transported as a 2-fold stack (an IBC below and a stacked IBC) when filled , For long-distance transport by train or truck or by ship overseas usually closed 20-foot or 40-foot ISO containers are used. These ISO containers (eg Maersk) also have standardized dimensions (20-foot containers: length about 6058 mm, width about 2500 mm, height about 2591 mm, the 40 "container is otherwise the same Dimensions are exactly twice as long) and are loaded and unloaded through a tailgate For the loading of ISO containers, this also applies for both sizes (Hapag Lloyd), on the one hand the width of about 2343 mm and on the other hand the height of about 2292 mm of the door opening is of great importance. Unfortunately, a 2-fold stack of filled pallet containers in the standard design gives a stack height of about 2290 mm to consider. The purely computational double height of two pallet containers would be 2 x 1151 mm = 2302 mm. The lower value of about 2290 mm results from the fact that the stacked pallet container with its base surrounding the base steel tube by a small piece of about 15 5 mm within the uppermost horizontal rotating tube rod of the lattice frame in this lattice frame dipping or . "Nesting" until the outside over the base steel tube protruding corner and center feet come from above on top of the top horizontal rotating tube rod to rest. In this case, the uppermost horizontally encircling tube rod of the lattice frame engages outside on the base steel tube in a free space formed therein or in a recess at the lower outer edge of the corner and middle feet, thereby providing security against slipping of the stacked pallet container by transporter vibrations given is.

Bei der konstruktiven Bauart der IBCs sind enge Grenzen vorgegeben, wobei die "ca.-Angaben" für die Längenmaße in der vorliegenden Dimension allesamt einen Bereich von plus/minus 2 mm umfassen sollen. Die übliche Nestungstiefe beträgt ca. 15,5 mm, somit wäre die tatsächliche Höhe eines Stapels zweier IBCs (2 x 1151 -15,5) = ca. 2286,5 mm. Aufgrund der Toleranzen von jeweils plus/minus 2 mm wird die zu betrachtende Stapelhöhe aus Sicherheitsgründen mit 2290 mm berücksichtigt.Narrow limits are specified in the structural design of the IBCs, with the "approx. Specifications" for the length dimensions in the present dimension all encompassing a range of plus / minus 2 mm. The usual nesting depth is about 15.5 mm, so the actual height of a stack of two IBCs (2 x 1151 -15.5) = about 2286.5 mm. Due to the tolerances of plus / minus 2 mm each, the stack height to be considered is taken into account with 2290 mm for safety reasons.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Ein ähnlicher Palettencontainer mit Holzpalette ist in der Veröffentlichung EP 1 375 382 B2 (vL) als "Intermediate bulk container of low height" beschrieben. Dabei ist zum einen der unterste umlaufende Horizontalrohr-Ring des Gitterrohr-Rahmens nicht einfach wie üblich auf den oberen Plankenboden aufgesetzt wie der Kunstsloff-Innenbehälter, sondern umgreift den Plankenboden umfangsseitig und sitzt auf einem tieferliegenden umlaufenden Außenabsatz auf. Zum anderen wird vorgeschlagen, die Einfahrhöhe der seitlichen rechteckigen Palettenaussparungen für den Eingriff der Gabeln eines GabelstaplerFahrzeugs durch eine geringere Höhe der Eck- und Mittelfüße zu reduzieren. Dies ergibt in beiden Fällen eine Verminderung der Gesamthöhe des einzelnen Palettencontainers. Dies ist insofern nachteilig, da Palettencontainer als standardisierte Behälter mit vorgegebenen Abmessungen nur ein Glied in der Logistikkette der chemischen Industrie darstellen. Irgendwelche Abweichungen von Standard-Abmessungen können zu erheblichen Störungen im Herstellungsprozess von chemischen Massengütern führen, so dass die Kunden der Großchemie solche Behälter nicht mehr anfordern. Palettencontainer mit verringerter Gesamthöhe können z. B. bei vollautomatischen Abfüllanlagen zu Unterbrechungen führen und Palettencontainer mit verringerter Einfahrhöhe können dann nur noch mit Gabelstaplern mit relativ dünnen Zinken gehandhabt werden Von standardmäßigen Rollen-Hubwagen können derartige Palettencontainer dann gar nicht mehr aufgenommen und transportiert werden.A similar pallet container with wooden pallet is in the publication EP 1 375 382 B2 (vL) described as "Intermediate bulk containers of low height". Here, on the one hand, the lowest circumferential horizontal tube ring of the lattice frame is not simply placed as usual on the upper plank floor as the Kunstsloff inner container, but surrounds the plank floor on the periphery and sits on a deeper peripheral outer shoulder. On the other hand it is proposed to reduce the entry height of the lateral rectangular pallet recesses for the engagement of the forks of a forklift truck by a lower height of the corner and middle feet. This results in a reduction in the total height of the individual pallet container in both cases. This is disadvantageous because pallet containers as standardized containers with predetermined Dimensions represent only one link in the logistics chain of the chemical industry. Any deviations from standard dimensions can lead to significant disruptions in the manufacturing process of bulk chemicals, so that the customers of large chemicals no longer request such containers. Pallet containers with reduced overall height can z. B. in fully automatic filling systems lead to interruptions and pallet container with reduced retraction height can then be handled only with forklifts with relatively thin tines of standard roller pallet truck pallet container such then can not be taken and transported.

Aufgabe:Task:

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die bestehenden Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu überwinden und einen Palettencontainer (= IBC) anzugeben, dessen Gesamthöhe gegenüber einem Standard-Palettencontainer gleich bleibt, der jedoch zweifach gestapelt mittels Gabelstaplerfahrzeug durch die Hecktür eines ISO-Containers eingeladen werden kann.It is an object of the present invention to overcome the existing disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a pallet container (= IBC) whose overall height compared to a standard pallet container remains the same, but are loaded twice stacked by forklift truck through the rear door of an ISO container can.

Lösung:Solution:

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den speziellen Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Die Merkmale in den Unteransprüchen beschreiben weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten des erfindungsgemäßen Palettencontainers. Die vorgeschlagene technische Lehre eröffnet einen verbesserten Einsatz von IBC mit Rahmenpalette für einen Transport in ISO-Containern. Dies wird in effektiver Weise dadurch bewirkt, dass bei der Bodenpalette des Palettencontainers die Aussparung außenseitig an dem Basis-Stahlrohr am unteren Außenrand der Eck- und Mittelfüße in vertikaler Richtung tiefer ausgebildet ist als in horizontaler bzw. radialer Richtung, und zwar bis zu doppelt so tief (bzw. hoch) wie in horizontaler bzw. radialer Richtung. Dadurch kann der obere aufgesetzte Palettencontainer deutlich tiefer, d. h. z. B. doppelt so tief wie nach dem Stand der Technik oder noch tiefer in den unteren Palettencontainer einsinken, d. h. "einnesten", so dass die Gesamthöhe des 2er-Stapels um ein Stück vermindert wird und dieser kleine gewonnene Freiraum ausreicht, um einen 2er-Stapel auf den Gabeln eines Gabelstaplers durch die in der Höhe begrenzte Hecktür in den ISO-Container hinein zu transportieren und einzuladen. Dabei bleibt die Gesamthöhe eines jeden einzelnen Palettencontainers gleich wie die Standardhöhe, so dass keine Probleme an Abfüllanlagen auftreten können.This object is achieved with the special features of claim 1. The features in the subclaims describe further advantageous design possibilities of the pallet container according to the invention. The proposed technical teaching opens up improved use of IBCs with frame pallets for transport in ISO containers. This is effectively effected in that in the bottom pallet of the pallet container, the recess is formed on the outside of the base steel tube at the lower outer edge of the corner and center feet in the vertical direction deeper than in the horizontal or radial direction, up to twice deep (or high) as in horizontal or radial direction. As a result, the upper patch pallet container significantly lower, ie, for example, twice as deep as in the prior art or sink even deeper into the lower pallet container, ie "einnesten", so that the total height of the stack of 2 is reduced by one piece and this enough free space is sufficient to transport and load a stack of 2 on the forks of a forklift truck through the height-limited tailgate into the ISO container. The remains Total height of each individual pallet container equal to the standard height, so that no problems can occur at bottling plants.

In konstruktiver Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist hierbei in konkreter Weise vorgesehen, dass die Aussparung am unteren Außenrand der Eck- und Mittelfüße in horizontaler bzw. radialer Richtung 20 mm - 25 mm plus/minus 2 mm tief und in vertikaler Richtung 25 mm-40 mm plus/minus 2 mm tief ausgebildet ist. Durch diese an sich einfache Maßnahme wird nebenbei auch eine Materialeinsparung an den Eck- und Mittelfüßen erreicht, ohne damit einen Festigkeitsverlust in Kauf nehmen zu müssen. Dabei umfasst bei Übereinanderstapelung von zwei Palettencontainern der oberste umlaufende Horizontal-Rohrstab des Rohrgitterrahmens des untergestapelten Palettencontainers in die Aussparung eingreifend den unteren Außenrand der Bodenpalette des aufgestapelten Palettencontainers bis auf eine Höhe von etwa 40 mm.In a constructive embodiment of the invention is provided in a concrete manner that the recess at the lower outer edge of the corner and middle feet in the horizontal or radial direction 20 mm - 25 mm plus / minus 2 mm deep and in the vertical direction 25 mm-40 mm plus / minus 2 mm deep is formed. By this simple measure incidentally, a material saving on the corner and middle feet is achieved without having to take a loss of strength in purchasing. In this case, when stacking two pallet containers, the uppermost circumferential horizontal tube rod of the tubular lattice frame of the stacked pallet container engaging in the recess comprises the lower outer edge of the bottom pallet of the stacked pallet container up to a height of about 40 mm.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird also eine verminderte Höhe von 2250 mm - 2270 mm eines zweifach gestapelten "Turms" entsprechend der um 20 mm - 40 mm plus/minus 2 mm tieferen Einnestung des aufgestapelten Palettencontainers realisiert. Das reicht nun aus, um einen 2er-Stapel, d. h. zwei Palettencontainer gleichzeitig auf den Gabeln eines Gabelstaplerfahrzeugs durch die Hecktür in einen 20-Fuß- oder40-Fuß-ISO-Container hindurch zu transportieren und im inneren Frachtraum in 2er-Stapeln einzulagern. Dadurch kann ein 20-Fuß ISO-Container im Vergleich zu einer Einzel-Beladung mit 18 Stück Standard-Palettencontainern in der halben Zeit mit 20 Stück der erfindungsgemäßen Palettencontainer beladen und später natürlich auch wieder entladen werden. Es können nun aufgrund des ausreichenden Abstandes zum oberen Türrahmen auch in der letzten Reihe vier IBCs eingelagert werden; zuvor war das nur für zwei IBCs möglich.In the solution according to the invention thus a reduced height of 2250 mm - 2270 mm of a double stacked "tower" corresponding to the 20 mm - 40 mm plus / minus 2 mm deeper implementation of the stacked pallet container realized. That's enough for a 2-stack, d. H. transporting two pallet containers simultaneously on the forks of a forklift vehicle through the tailgate into a 20-foot or 40-foot ISO container and storing them in stacks of two in the inner cargo hold. As a result, a 20-foot ISO container can be loaded with 20 pieces of the pallet container according to the invention in half the time compared to a single load with 18 standard pallet containers in half the time and of course also unloaded again later. It can now be stored in the last row four IBCs due to the sufficient distance to the upper door frame; previously that was only possible for two IBCs.

In vorteilhafter Weise wird bei der Palettencontainer-Version mit größerer Nestungstiefe die Einfahrhöhe für die Gabeln eines Gabelstaplerfahrzeugs oder eines Rallen-Hubwagens mit immer noch 100 mm nicht verändert und auch die Gesamthöhe des einzelnen Palettencontainers bleibt gleich. Dies ist für ein störungsfreies Funktionieren der automatischen Abfülleinrichtungen von industriellen Großkunden sehr wichtig.Advantageously, the entry height for the forks of a forklift truck or a Rallen lift truck with still 100 mm is not changed in the pallet container version with greater nesting depth and also the total height of the individual pallet container remains the same. This is very important for a trouble-free functioning of the automatic filling devices of large industrial customers.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der oberste umlaufende Horizontal-Rohrstab des Rohrgitterrahmens mit zwei Querstreben versteift ist, die an zwei gegenüberliegenden Außenseiten des Horizontal-Rohrstabes mittels jeweils eines den Horizontal-Rohrstab übergreifenden U-förmigen Rohrendes mit zwei gegeneinander verschraubten Schenkeln der U-förmigen Rohrenden befestigt sind, wobei für die Verschraubung der Rohrenden-Schenkel jeweils flachköpfige Möbelschrauben eingeschraubt sind. Bei Übereinanderstapelung von zwei Palettencontainern mit größerer Nestungstiefe kommen bei der Composite-Palelte das unterhalb der Kunststoff-Eck- und - Mittelfüße umlaufende Basis-Stahlrohr direkt auf den beiden Querstreben und den inneren Schenkeln der U-förmigen Rohrenden zu einer unteren und seitlichen abstützenden Anlage.In an embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the uppermost circumferential horizontal tube rod of the pipe grid frame is stiffened with two transverse struts, which are at two opposite Outer sides of the horizontal tube rod are fastened by means of a respective horizontal tube rod cross-U-shaped tube end with two legs screwed against each other of the U-shaped tube ends, being screwed for screwing the pipe ends-legs each flat-headed furniture screws. When stacking two pallet containers with greater Nestungstiefe come in the composite Palelte the below the plastic corner and - center feet encircling base steel pipe directly on the two cross struts and the inner legs of the U-shaped pipe ends to a lower and lateral supporting system.

In Figur 1 ist ein 2-fach Stapel von zwei aufgestapelten erfindungsgemäßen Paletten-containern zur Lagerung und zum Transport von insbesondere gefährlichen flüssigen oder fließfähigen Füllgütern dargestellt, die jeweils mit der Bezugsziffer 10 beziffert sind. Die Palettencontainer 10 weisen jeweils ein Füllvolumen von ca. 1000 l und standardisierte Abmessungen von Länge ca. 1200 mm, Breite B ca. 1000 mm und Höhe H ca. 1151 mm auf. Diese ca.-Angaben sollen in der vorliegenden Dimension allesamt einen Bereich von plus/minus 2 mm umfassen, denn die konstruktive Bauart der lBCs gibt enge Grenzen vor. Die Hauptelemente der Palettencontainer 10 bestehen aus einem dünnwandigen starren Innenbehälter 12 aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff, einem den Kunststoff-Innenbehälter 12 als Stützmantel dicht umschließenden Rohr-Gitterrahmen 14 und einer Bodenpalette 16, auf welcher der Innenbehälter 12 aufliegt und mit welcher der Rohr-Gitterrahmen 14 fest verbunden ist. Der Rohr-Gitterrahmen 14 (Außenbehälter) besteht aus miteinander verschweißten horizontalen und vertikalen Rohrstäben 18, 20. Um einen geschlossenen Außenbehälter zu erhalten, sind die ringförmig umlaufenden horizontalen Rohrstäbe 18 an einer Verbindungsstelle jeweils fest miteinander verbunden. Die Bodenpalette 16 ist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Composite-Palette mit einer oberen Tragplatte aus Stahlblech zur Auflage des Kunststoff-Innenbehälters 12, mit einem darunter angeordneten Stahlrohr-Tragrahmen, mit im Spritzgussverfahren aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff hergestellten Eckfüßen 22 und Mittelfüßen 24 sowie einem unterhalb der Eck- und Mittelfüße 22, 24 umlaufenden Boden-Rohrgestänge 26 aus Stahlrohr ausgebildet. Alternativ könnte die Palette aber auch zum Beispiel als Stahlpalette ausgebildet sein. Auf der dargestellten Frontseite des IBC 10 ist in mittlerer Höhe des Rohr-Gitterrahmens 14 eine Beschriftungstafel 28 aus dünnem Blech zur Kennzeichnung des jeweiligen flüssigen Füllguts befestigt. In der Mitte des Bodens des Kunststoff-Innenbehälters 12 ist zur Entnahme des flüssigen Füllguts eine Entnahmearmatur 30 angeschlossen.In FIG. 1 is a 2-fold stack of two stacked pallet containers according to the invention for the storage and transport of particular dangerous liquid or flowable products shown, each numbered by the reference numeral 10. The pallet containers 10 each have a filling volume of approx. 1000 l and standardized dimensions of length approx. 1200 mm, width B approx. 1000 mm and height H approx. 1151 mm. These approximate indications in the present dimension should all encompass a range of plus / minus 2 mm, because the structural design of the lBCs sets narrow limits. The main elements of the pallet container 10 consist of a thin-walled rigid inner container 12 made of thermoplastic material, a plastic inner container 12 as a support jacket tightly enclosing tube grid frame 14 and a bottom pallet 16 on which the inner container 12 rests and with which the tubular grid frame 14 fixed connected is. The tubular grid frame 14 (outer container) consists of welded together horizontal and vertical tube rods 18, 20. In order to obtain a closed outer container, the annular circumferential horizontal tube rods 18 are each firmly connected at a junction. The bottom pallet 16 is in the illustrated embodiment as a composite pallet with an upper support plate made of sheet steel for supporting the plastic inner container 12, with an underlying steel tube support frame, manufactured using injection molding of thermoplastic corner feet 22 and middle feet 24 and one below the Corner and middle feet 22, 24 encircling floor pipe linkage 26 formed of tubular steel. Alternatively, however, the pallet could also be designed, for example, as a steel pallet. On the illustrated front side of the IBC 10, a labeling board 28 made of thin sheet metal for the identification of the respective liquid filling material is fixed in the middle height of the pipe grid frame 14. In the middle of the bottom of the plastic inner container 12, a removal fitting 30 is connected to remove the liquid contents.

Für eine Übereinanderstapelung gleichartiger Palettencontainer 10 ist bodenseitig entlang der Außenkanten aller vier Seitenwandungen der Bodenpalette 16 in den Eck- 22 und Mittelfüßen 24 eine Aussparung 32 vorgesehen, in welche bei Übereinanderstapelung der oberste umlaufende Horizontal-Rohrstab 20 des Rohr-Gitterrahmens 14 eines untergestapelten Palettencontainers 10 passgenau formschlüssig eingreift bzw. einnestet. An allen vier Seiten der Bodenpalette 16 sind zwischen den Eckfüßen 22 und Mittelfüßen 24 entsprechende Aussparungen 34 zum Eingriff von Gabeln eines Gabelstaplerfahrzeugs 36 oder Rollen- Hubwagens vorgesehen. Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen ergibt sich eine Höhe H2e des 2er-Stapels erfindungsgemäßer IBCs von 2250 mm - 2270 mm.For a stacking of similar pallet container 10, a recess 32 is provided on the bottom side along the outer edges of all four side walls of the bottom pallet 16 in the corner 22 and middle feet 24, in which in stacking the top circumferential horizontal pipe bar 20 of the tubular lattice frame 14 of a stacked pallet container 10th snugly interlocking or nesting. On all four sides of the bottom pallet 16 between the corner feet 22 and middle feet 24 corresponding recesses 34 for engagement of forks of a forklift vehicle 36th or roller lift truck provided. Due to the measures according to the invention results in a height H2e of the 2-stack of inventive IBCs of 2250 mm - 2270 mm.

Figur 2 zeigt einen mit 18 Stück Standard-IBCs beladenen 20-Fuß ISO-Container 38, gemäß Stand der Technik. Die Beladung des ISO-Container 38 erfolgt mittels Gabelstaplerfahrzeug 36 mit jeweils einem aufgegabelten Palettencontainer 10, weil zwei im Stapel aufgenommene Palettencontainer 10 aufgrund der beschränkten Höhe der Türöffnung HT von 2292 mm nicht übereinander durch die Hecktür passen. Die IBCs müssen zudem wechselweise einmal in Längsrichtung und einmal in Querrichtung nebeneinander in einer Reihe eingestapelt werden, um die beste Raumausnutzung zu erhalten. Dies ist in Figur 2 an den beiden jeweils quer über den Oberboden des Kunststoff-Innenbehälters 12 verlaufenden Querträgern 40 sehr gut zu erkennen. Die oberen beiden IBC in der vorletzten Reihe sowie die beiden IBC in der letzten Reihe vor der Hecktür müssen zudem mittels entsprechender Transportsicherungsmaßnahmen wie Spanngurten 42 und Halteplatten 44 für den Transport fixiert werden. Dadurch, dass die beiden oberen IBC in der letzten Reihe nicht mehr eingestapelt werden können, verbleiben 10 % des Frachtraums ungenutzt. FIG. 2 shows a loaded with 18 standard IBCs 20-foot ISO container 38, according to the prior art. The loading of the ISO container 38 by means of a forklift vehicle 36, each with a forked pallet container 10, because two recorded in the stack pallet container 10 due to the limited height of the door opening HT of 2292 mm do not fit one above the other through the tailgate. In addition, the IBCs must be stacked alternately once in the longitudinal direction and once in the transverse direction next to each other in a row in order to obtain the best space utilization. This is in FIG. 2 can be seen very well at the two transversely extending across the upper bottom of the plastic inner container 12 cross members 40. The upper two IBCs in the penultimate row and the two IBCs in the last row in front of the rear door must also be fixed by means of appropriate transport securing measures such as tension straps 42 and holding plates 44 for transport. The fact that the two upper IBCs in the last row can no longer be stacked leaves 10% of the cargo space unused.

In Figur 3 ist in gleicher Weise ein 20-Fuß ISO-Container 38 dargestellt, bei dem an der Rückwand zwei Standard-IBCs übereinandergestapelt eingelagert sind. Der 2er-Stapel weist eine Höhe H2S von 2290 mm auf. Bei einer Innenhöhe im ISO-Container (Hapag LLoyd) von 2385 mm ergibt das einen Freiraum FS für den oberen Standard-IBC von 95 mm (bei einer Einnestung von 15,5 mm). Zum Abheben des oberen Standard-IBCs muss der Gabelstapler den IBC zunächst um mindestens 25 mm in vertikaler Richtung über die Einnestung hinaus anheben, um ihn dann in einem verbleibenden Freiraum von 70 mm nach oben hin in horizontaler Richtung aus dem ISO-Container 38 herausfahren zu können. Vor der Hecktür muss der IBC dann noch einmal soweit abgesenkt werden, dass er unter der Oberkante der Hecktür hindurchpassieren kann.In FIG. 3 a 20-foot ISO container 38 is shown in the same way, in which two standard IBCs are stored stacked on the back wall. The 2-piece stack has a height H2S of 2290 mm. With an inside height in the ISO container (Hapag LLoyd) of 2385 mm, this results in a free space FS for the upper standard IBC of 95 mm (with an embedment of 15.5 mm). To lift the upper standard IBC, the forklift must first raise the IBC vertically over the nest by at least 25 mm, then move it out of the ISO container 38 horizontally in a remaining space of 70 mm can. In front of the rear door, the IBC must then be lowered once more so that it can pass under the upper edge of the tailgate.

Bei dem in Figur 4 dargestellten ISO-Container 38 ist in vergleichender Weise links ein 2er-Stapei von konventionellen Standard-IBCs mit einer Stapelhöhe H2S von 2290 mm ersichtlich, während rechts ein 2er-Stapel von erfindungsbemäßen IBCs mit tieferer Nestung (plus 20 mm - 40 mm) mit einer Stapelhöhe H2e von 2250 mm - 2270 mm dargestellt ist. Daraus wird deutlich, dass der rechte Stapel mit beiden IBCs im Stapel in "einem Rutsch" durch die Hecktür entladen werden kann, während der linke Stapel zunächst entstapelt werden muss und die IBCs, zuerst der obere und dann der untere einzeln herausgefördert werden müssen.At the in FIG. 4 shown ISO container 38 is shown in comparative manner to the left a 2-stack of conventional standard IBCs with a stack height of 2290 mm H2S, while right a 2-stack of erfindungsbemäßen IBCs with deeper Nesting (plus 20 mm - 40 mm) with a Stack height H2e from 2250 mm - 2270 mm is shown. From this it is clear that the right stack with both IBCs in the stack can be unloaded in one go through the back door, while the left stack must first be unstacked and the IBCs, first the top one and then the bottom one must be fed out separately.

Die konstruktive Formgebung eines Stützelements ist konkret in Figur 5 in perspektivischer Ansicht dargestellt. Der teilkreisförmige Ausschnitt zeigt eine untere rechte Ecke eines im Spritzgussverfahren aus Kunststoff hergestellten Mittelfußes 24. Etwa mittig in der Bodenfläche des Kunststoff-Mittelfußes 24 ist - in Querschnittsansicht - das mittels einer Senkkopfschraube 46 fest angeschraubte, horizontal umlaufende Boden-Rohrgestänge 26 ersichtlich. Rechts neben dem Boden-Rohrgestänge 26 ist zum unteren Außenrand des Mittelfußes 24 hin eine Aussparung 32 ausgebildet, in die der oberste horizontal umlaufende Rohrstab 18 des Rohr-Gitterrahmens 14 eingreift Der oberste horizontal umlaufende Rohrstab 18 ist am oberen flachgedrückten Ende 48 aller vertikalen Rohrstäbe 20 festgeschweißt. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ist die Aussparung 32 - in Querschnittsbetrachtung - um zusätzliche ca. 20 mm - 40 mm zu einer vertieften Aussparung 50 vergrößert worden, die in vertikaler Richtung tiefer und zwar bis zu doppelt so tief bzw. hoch ausgebildet ist wie in horizontaler bzw. radialer Richtung. Die vertiefte Aussparung 50 umfasst bzw. beinhaltet die bisherige Aussparung 32 und ist in horizontaler bzw. radialer Richtung 20 mm - 25 mm plus/minus 2 mm tief und in vertikaler Richtung 25 mm - 40 mm, plus/minus 2 mm, tief ausgebildet.The structural design of a support element is concrete in FIG. 5 shown in perspective view. The part-circular cutout shows a lower right corner of a plastic injection-molded metatarsus 24. Approximately in the middle of the bottom surface of the plastic midfoot 24 is - in cross-sectional view - by means of a countersunk screw 46 firmly screwed, horizontally encircling bottom tube linkage 26 can be seen. To the right of the bottom pipe string 26, a recess 32 is formed toward the lower outer edge of the midfoot 24, in which the uppermost horizontally encircling pipe bar 18 of the pipe grid frame 14 engages. The uppermost horizontally circulating pipe bar 18 is at the upper flattened end 48 of all vertical pipe bars 20 welded. In the solution according to the invention, the recess 32 has been enlarged - in cross-sectional view - by an additional approx. 20 mm - 40 mm to a recessed recess 50 which is deeper in the vertical direction and up to twice as deep or high as in the horizontal or vertical direction radial direction. The recessed recess 50 includes the existing recess 32 and is formed in the horizontal or radial direction 20 mm - 25 mm plus / minus 2 mm deep and in the vertical direction 25 mm - 40 mm, plus / minus 2 mm, deep.

Dadurch, dass bei einer Übereinanderstapelung von zwei erfindungsgemäßen IBCs mit (in Querschnittsbetrachtung) vertiefter Aussparung 50 der oberste umlaufende Horizontal-Rohrstab 18 des Rohr-Gitterrahmens 14 des untergestapelten Palettencontainers von unten in die vertiefte Aussparung 50 eingreifend den unteren Außenrand der Bodenpalette 16 des aufgestapelten Palettencontainers 10 bis auf eine Höhe von etwa 40 mm plus/ minus 2 mm umfasst, ergibt sich einerseits eine um - plus/minus 2 mm - 20 mm - 40 mm verringerte Gesamthöhe des IBC-Stapels, was eine Transportierung von 2 IBCs übereinander (ein Stapel) auf den Gabeln eines Gabelstaplerfahrzeugs durch die Hecktür eines ISO-Containers ermöglicht und andererseits in vorteilhafter Weise eine erhöhte Sicherheit gegen Verrutschen des aufgestapelten IBCs bei Transporterschütterungen und überhöhten Kurvenfahrten des Transportfahrzeugs bewirkt.Characterized in that when stacking two IBCs according to the invention with (in cross-sectional view) recessed recess 50 of the upper circumferential horizontal tube rod 18 of the tubular lattice frame 14 of the stacked pallet container from below into the recessed recess 50 engaging the lower outer edge of the bottom pallet 16 of the stacked pallet container 10 to a height of about 40 mm plus / minus 2 mm, on the one hand results in an - plus / minus 2 mm - 20 mm - reduced 40 mm overall height of the IBC stack, which is a transport of 2 IBCs on top of each other (one stack ) on the forks of a forklift vehicle through the rear door of an ISO container and on the other hand advantageously provides increased security against slippage of the stacked IBCs during transport vibrations and excessive cornering of the transport vehicle.

Bei der "tieferen Nestung" sinkt der obere IBC tiefer in den unteren IBC ein - wie in Figur 5 schematisch angedeutet ist - so dass der oberste umlaufende Horizontal-Rohrstab 18 nun in der oberen Hälfte der vertieften Aussparung 50 positioniert ist und das bodenseitig horizontal umlaufende Boden-Rohrgestänge 26 gemäß Verschiebe-Pfeil 52 in eine tiefliegende "Nestungs-Position" 54 verschoben wird.In the "deeper nesting" the upper IBC sinks deeper into the lower IBC - as in FIG. 5 is schematically indicated - so that the uppermost circumferential horizontal tube rod 18 is now positioned in the upper half of the recessed recess 50 and the bottom horizontally encircling bottom pipe string 26 is moved according to the shift arrow 52 in a low-lying "nesting position" 54.

In Figur 6 ist diese "tiefere Nestung" an einem rohrförmigen Querträger 40 schematisch verdeutlicht, wobei der rohrförmige Querträger 40 an seinen beiden äußeren Enden (hier ist nur die rechte Seite dargestellt) flachgedrückt und zu einem U-förmigen Rohrende 56 mit einem äußeren Schenkel 60 und einem inneren Schenkel 58 derart geformt ist, dass er passgenau auf den obersten umlaufenden Horizontal-Rohrstab 18 aufgesetzt ist. Die beiden Schenkel 58, 60 der U-förmigen Rohrenden 56 werden unterhalb des umlaufenden Horizontal-Rohrstabes 18 mittels flachköpfiger Möbelschrauben 62 gegeneinander verschraubt. Von einem aufgestapelten IBC ist hier nur das umlaufende Boden-Rohrgestänge 26 (im Querschnitt) als oberer Kreis dargestellt. Bisher tauchte das Boden-Rohrgestänge 26 etwa bis zur Hälfte innenseitig hinter dem obersten umlaufenden Horizontal-Rohrstab 18 ein. Der Verschiebe-Pfeil 52 zeigt das Boden-Rohrgestänge 26, wie es gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung in die vorteilhafte tiefliegende "Nestungs-Position" 54 verschoben ist.In FIG. 6 this "deeper nest" on a tubular cross member 40 schematically illustrates, the tubular cross member 40 at its two outer ends (here only the right side shown) flattened and a U-shaped tube end 56 with an outer leg 60 and an inner Leg 58 is shaped so that it is fitted snugly on the uppermost circumferential horizontal tube rod 18. The two legs 58, 60 of the U-shaped tube ends 56 are screwed below the rotating horizontal tube bar 18 by means of flat-headed furniture screws 62 against each other. From a stacked IBC here only the revolving floor pipe string 26 (in cross section) is shown as an upper circle. So far, the bottom pipe string 26 dipped about halfway behind the topmost circumferential horizontal pipe bar 18 about halfway. The shift arrow 52 shows the bottom pipe string 26, as shifted according to the present invention in the advantageous low-lying "nesting position" 54.

Schließlich ist in Figur 7 noch eine Darstellung gezeigt, bei der von einem aufgestapelten IBC nur ein kurzes Stück des tief eingenesteten Boden-Rohrgestänges 26 erkennbar ist. Hierbei wird deutlich, dass bei Übereinanderstapelung von zwei IBCs mit größerer Nestungstiefe bei der Composite-Palette das unterhalb der Kunststoff-Eck- und -Mittelfüße umlaufende Basis-Stahlrohr 26 direkt auf den flachgedrückten Enden der beiden Querträger 40 und den inneren Schenkeln 58 der U-förmigen Rohrenden 56 zu einer unteren und seitlichen abstützenden Anlage kommt.Finally, in FIG. 7 nor a representation shown in which of a stacked IBC only a short piece of deeply eingeneten floor pipe string 26 can be seen. It becomes clear that when stacking two IBCs with greater depth of nesting in the composite pallet, the base steel tube 26 revolving below the plastic corner and center feet directs directly onto the flattened ends of the two cross members 40 and the inner legs 58 of the U shaped pipe ends 56 comes to a lower and lateral supporting system.

Die vorliegende erfindungsgemäße Lösung liefert den Vorteil, dass zwei übereinandergestapelte Palettencontainer mit einer Einheits-Höhe von jeweils 1151 mm durch Einsenken des oberen Palettencontainers in den unteren Palettencontainer (= Einnestung) insgesamt nur eine Gesamtstapel-Höhe H2e von ca. 2250 mm - 2270 mm aufweisen und somit mittels Gabelstapler-Fahrzeug in einem 2er-Stapel, d. h. im übereinandergestapelten Zustand durch die Hecktür eines 4"-ISO-Containers mit einer Öffnungshöhe HT der Hecktür von ca. 2292 mm hindurchfahrbar und einstapelbar ausgebildet sind.The present inventive solution provides the advantage that two pallet containers stacked one above the other with a unit height of 1151 mm by sinking the upper pallet container in the lower pallet container (= embedding) total only a total stack height H2e of about 2250 mm - 2270 mm and thus by means of a forklift vehicle in a stack of 2, ie in the stacked state through the rear door of a 4 "ISO container with an opening height HT of the rear door of about 2292 mm are made passable and stackable.

Fazit: Aus der vorherigen Beschreibung und den Figuren-Darstellungen wird deutlich, dass durch die technische Lehre der vorliegenden Erfindung ein wesentlicher Nachteil des Standes der Technik leicht behoben und mit einer kleinen konstruktiven Änderung eine große Wirkung erzielt werden kann.
