DE19920011A1 - Liquid storage and transportation container comprises inner plastic container with exterior metal reinforcing grid, top of container having filling opening with sealable lip and additional emptying opening, also with a sealable lip - Google Patents

Abstract

The liquid storage and transportation container comprises an inner plastic container (2) with an exterior metal reinforcing grid (3). The novel feature is that the top (13) of the container has a filling opening (14) with sealable lip (18) and additionally has an emptying opening (15) also with a sealable lip (19).

Description

The invention relates to transport and storage containers for Liquids, with a plastic inner container that passes through four side walls, a bottom shelf and an upper shelf with one that can be locked by a filler neck Filler opening is formed, an outer jacket made of vertical and horizontal bars or as Sheet metal jacket is formed, and a pallet-like Underframe that supports the inner container and the outer jacket.

In a transport and known from DE 44 14 378 C2 Storage container of this type is the bottom of the inner container as a drainage floor with a central, flat drainage channel designed with a slight slope from the Container rear wall to a in the end wall of the inner container in Outlet area arranged with a bottom area Withdrawal valve runs.

With tap fittings such as flap and ball valves, the are under fluid pressure with progressive Time the risk of leaking. With repeated removal of liquid from the container cannot be prevented Residual liquid from the valve undesirable to the floor drains if no collection container is installed. The Transport and storage of liquids with a high Degree of purity for industrial recycling as well as liquid foods such as juices and syrups in the well-known,  equipped with a tap in the floor area Containers is due to the risk of contamination Any necessary lubricants such as silicone and in the valve Faucet residues remaining with repeated removal can get into the liquid and contaminate it, problematic. Finally, the residual emptying of the container over the attached in the bottom area of the container end wall The tap is not optimal.

The invention is based, the generic transport and storage containers for liquids to develop in such a way that a to be connected to the emptying opening of the container Tapping valve is not necessary and optimal Residual emptying is made possible.

This object is achieved by a Transport and storage container for liquids with the characteristics of claim 1.

The sub-claims contain advantageous and expedient Developments of the invention.

A is used to empty the liquid container Tapping valve not required. With repeated removal If necessary, a withdrawal valve can transform partial quantities Find. For taking liquid through the one in the upper one Emptying opening located at the bottom of the container becomes a special one Device for swiveling the container into a Emptying position used, the optimal residual emptying enables.  

The invention is based on a perspective Representation of a transport and storage container for Liquids explained.

The container 1 used as a disposable and reusable container for the transport and storage of liquids has as main components an interchangeable, rectangular inner container 2 made of polyethylene, an outer jacket 3 made of intersecting vertical and horizontal bars 4 , 5 made of metal and a pallet-like base frame 6 Metal with length and width dimensions in accordance with Euro standards, the trough-shaped bottom 7 of which holds the plastic inner container 2 in a form-fitting manner.

The inner container 2 is formed by two side walls 8 , 9 , an end wall 10 , a rear wall 11 , a lower floor 12 and an upper floor 13 .

The upper bottom 13 of the inner container 2 has a filling opening 14 , an emptying opening 15 and a ventilation opening 16 . Filling opening 14 , emptying opening 15 and ventilation opening 16 of the inner container 2 , which are arranged in the central longitudinal plane 17-17 of the inner container 2 , are each surrounded by a socket 18 , 19 , 20 with an external thread and with a screw cap 21 , 22 , 23 lockable.

The filling opening 14 is arranged in the central region 24 , the emptying opening 15 in the region 25 adjoining the end wall 10 of the inner container 2 and the ventilation opening 16 in the region 26 adjoining the rear wall 11 of the inner container 2 in the upper container base 13 .

To empty the liquid container 1 , a special device, not shown, is required, with which the container 1 is pivoted up from the floor into the emptying position.

To remove liquid material from the container 1 , an outlet spout is screwed onto the nozzle 19 of the emptying opening 15 of the container. A flexible sampling hose can be connected to the outlet nozzle. For multiple removal of partial quantities of the liquid contained in the transport and storage container, a removal fitting can be used, which is screwed onto the threaded connector of the emptying opening formed on the upper bottom of the container.
