Abstract

The container has an inner accommodation chamber (9) fitted with a plastic inner casing for holding the liquid to be stored and an associated device for preventing buoyancy of the container in water in the form of a ballast material (11) as a counterweight introduced into the accommodation chamber to the required depth.

Description

The The invention relates to a container for water polluting liquids according to the preamble of claim 1, as he especially in flood areas for Storing fuel oil in buildings Use finds.

of such container are z. B. in plastic and / or metal execution known. Are these particular for the Use in flood and Flooding areas, then special extra Mounting arrangements necessary to the containers or tanks to protect against the action of water, in particular against the buoyancy force of an empty or partially empty container in the Water experiences.

So it is known, for. B. in a submerged in the ground, so underground Tank to provide a concrete slab immediately above it to the tank to protect against buoyancy. However, such tanks should be installed in buildings, then pulling a concrete ceiling directly above the tanks is not possible because A distance to the ceiling is required to allow for in-tank inspection access via the Manhole to keep clear. In addition, the space above the tank for the tank piping second hand.

Also is known that z. As appropriate steel containers, although usually sufficient rigid and safe to withstand the pressure of high water, in their arrangement in buildings both downwards and upwards sufficiently to attach or to be squeezed. Even if these relatively complex fortifications or Verspreizungen are carried out properly, ask for on behalf of the authorities active experts in general mathematical proof that the induced buoyancy forces of the components can be recorded, which is especially in old buildings very complicated, yes impossible is, as most of the execution the components is not sufficiently known.

From the DE 199 37 075 A1 a tank system is known, in which the fuel tank is surrounded by yoke-like buoyancy devices, which at the same time from shear-resistant interconnected upper and lower parts form composite support frame and wherein the containers are fixed by anchor straps on the lower part. This device is thus extremely expensive and retrofitting already existing container with such a device is not or only very expensive possible.

From the DE 100 39 534 C2 a buoyancy-secured device is known in which the container is provided with an anchoring device, which consists in that on opposite sides of the container a bag filled with ballast material is provided, which extends across a transversely over the top of the container holding means, such as straps or to the Outer shape of the container adapted ring profiles, essays o. The like. Are connected. Although this is about a relatively simple and retrofittable device, which is not readily available safely enough for existing in the basement of a residential building fuel oil containers, which are usually relatively close to each other and a few to the wall.

Finally, out of the DE 202 16 476 U1 a container known, which preferably has the shape of a rectangular body and as a means for preventing lift on two of its opposite outer sides of a receiving device in the manner of a chamber for receiving, if necessary, insertable counterweights, such. B. concrete blocks are provided. As a result, three mostly rectangular chambers are present, namely a central chamber, which is equipped with a plastic cover for receiving the liquid to be stored and two lateral counterweight chambers. Although this can make the container evenly loaded on both sides of the floor sufficiently up, but here is a larger footprint available and also a retrofitting is not readily possible.

Therefore The object of the invention to provide a container for water polluting liquids, the in easily secured against buoyancy or securable, without special extra Structural precautions and which also easy retrofitting already existing, provided with plastic sleeves for the fuel or foreseeable container allowed.

These Task is by a container o. g. Genus with the features of claim 1 solved. advantageous Embodiments are characterized in the subclaims.

Accordingly, as a means for preventing buoyancy in the receiving chamber of the container is introduced as needed height ballast material as a counterweight. Thus, there is the possibility of equipping any type of container which can be used or used, in particular, in buildings for fuel oil, against the inflaming effect of the water in the event of floods, whereby already installed containers can be retrofitted in a quick and simple manner. This is also possible in a relatively simple and secure manner, since, as is known, these containers have a manhole in their upper side, through which the container is accessible, so that introduced by a person in the container person the necessary ballast material accordingly, designed, or ver can be shared. Although by introducing ballast material into the interior of the container, the volume available for the fuel oil is reduced accordingly, but this is due to the simplicity of the entire possibility readily acceptable in purchasing, especially since it is not a problem, the liquid to be introduced into the container , z. As the fuel oil to introduce into the plastic inner shell, which practically covers the remaining free receiving chamber of the container.

When The main advantage is to see that every suitable type of ballast material is usable, such as concrete blocks, which correspond to the chamber floor eina pelbar are gravel scrap, steel parts or the like, insert material or pourable material or practically at every construction site available concrete that filled and then leveled internally to uniform height.

ever on the type of ballast material used and the dimensions of the container in advance, the contribution level must be determined, also in terms of the size of the inner shell for Recording z. B. of the heating oil, being this ballast material height z. B. 1/4 to 1/2, according to experience or preferably about 1/3 of the interior height the receiving chamber is, or can amount.

Around If necessary, also used as ballast, filled and Uncured To be able to remove concrete from the interior is an advantage when vertical partitions are introduced in the concrete layer, preferably in longitudinal and Transverse direction, these intermediate walls made of any material can exist, z. As wood, plastic, polystyrene or the like.

From Advantage is also when on the ballast material layer, ie between the ballast material and in the filled state on this resting plastic inner shell a Between-padded insert is provided to the plastic inner shell in front Injuries caused by unevenness, points or edges of the ballast material to protect. As a cushion insert can Layers of tear-resistant Plastic films, mats, polystyrene or the like may be provided.

Finally is advantageous if the receiving chamber of the container at least until just above the height of Ballast liner with a lining, such as plastic film or mat is designed before the ballast material introduced into the container becomes. This will make the container protected against corrosion, of course in the Case of a corrosive metal container, but also a plastic container learns thereby a certain protection against injury by roughly rude Introduction of the ballast material.

following The invention is based on an embodiment with reference closer to the drawing explained. Show it:

1 : a longitudinal vertical section through a container, and

2 : a section according to lines II-II 1 through the container.

As in particular from 1 and 2 can be seen, there is a container according to the invention of a substantially rectangular cross-section housing 1 , on the bottom plate 2 lower feet 3 are attached. The container housing 1 The widening consists of side walls 5 and end walls 6 and a cover plate 7 , which are connected in a known manner air and liquid tight. In the ceiling plate 7 is, also in a known manner, provided a manhole, which has a lid 8th is closable. In the lower third of the container chamber 9 is ballast material 10 up to a height of about 1/3 or more or less, depending on the ballast material 10 , filled in, in the case of hardening concrete material 11 several vertical partitions 12 are retracted longitudinally and transversely to leave open the possibility that the introduced concrete material 11 from the container chamber 9 can be removed. The lower part of the container chamber 9 is also lined or designed with a lining 13 made of tear-resistant and waterproof films or mats, such as z. B. for the insulation of house sockets or concrete pans on buildings, etc. used in construction.

In the above the ballast layer remaining chamber space is a plastic shell, the recording of the liquid, for. B. of fuel oil, is used. To protect this inner shell from damage by the underlying ballast layer is on the ballast layer a cushion pad 10 applied, z. B. in the form of a tear-resistant mat, Styrofoam plates or the like.
