Abstract

The mobile refuelling station consists of a base module (2), a tank module (1) installed above it by pillars, and, at the bottom, pans (3) installed on the side of the base module. The base module, the tank module and the pans are rigidly connected but easily detachable. Four lower pillars (2.4) stand symmetrically on the baseplate (2.6) of the base module at a small distance away from the longitudinal axis of the tank (1.2) and at a greater distance from the transverse axis. Four upper pillars (1.3) align axially with the lower pillars and the tank fits on top of them.

Description

Mobile petrol station

The invention relates to a mobile filling station which can be set up anywhere for refueling motor vehicles. The mobile filling station can be set up in a company or on a construction site, but can also be publicly accessible. The mobile filling station is mainly used for refueling motor vehicles with biodiesel.

In order to be able to set up mobile filling stations anywhere, they must be easy and safe to transport.

The state of the art describes a mobile filling station in DE GM 202 13 688.4, in which a tank is conveniently placed on four upper supports, each of which is inserted into the lower supports like a telescope. The telescope can be locked in place. Between the telescopes there are boxes for holding the tank technology. The telescopes are connected to various struts, which also serve as a base and between which a running part is arranged.

At the outer ends of the protruding support struts, which are used as feet, there are hinged arms that can be folded upwards. These contain an inward-sloping tray in a frame, which covers the grates.

When the mobile filling station is in the standby position, it has a standby height, with the upper supports on the locked telescope protruding from the lower supports and a standby width resulting from the booms folded outwards horizontally on both sides.

In the transport position of the mobile filling station, it has a transport height, with the upper supports on the telescope being completely inserted into the lower supports and a transport width being created via the booms folded upwards on both sides.

The disadvantage of the DE GM 202 13 688.4 "Mobile filling station" is that the tank is mounted on telescopic supports and various struts, and the folding booms are attached to them. In particular, when the mobile filling station has to be transported to the site, it still reaches a considerable height and width, so that considerable planning and expenditure is sometimes necessary for transport. Furthermore, the principle of the mobile filling station with the telescopic supports means that it is quite unstable both during transport and when set up statically. To ensure sufficient stability, considerable effort must therefore be made in the design and construction.

The object of the invention is to create a mobile filling station which, despite its possible bulkiness in operation, can be transported stably on normal road transport vehicles and on public roads without special traffic safety measures and can also be set up stably at any location. The mobile filling station should have a simple structure.

According to the invention, the object of creating a mobile filling station is achieved in that it consists of the basic module, the tank module arranged above it by means of columns and the troughs arranged below on the sides of the basic module, wherein the basic module, the tank module and the troughs are firmly but also easily detachably connected to one another.

On the base plate of the basic module, there are four lower columns, roughly symmetrically positioned at a shorter distance from the longitudinal axis of the tank and a greater distance from the transverse axis of the tank, which end at the upper end with a lower flange that creates a fixed but also detachable connection to the tank module, with boxes for accommodating the tank technology and tank columns also being arranged between the lower columns.

In the tank module, an upper flange is attached to the lower side of four upper columns, which are axially aligned with the lower columns, creating a fixed but also detachable connection to the base module. The tank is located on the upper side of the upper columns and is covered by a roof at a short distance.

The cross-section of the tank can have any geometric surface shape. Its length is significantly greater than its width.

When the mobile filling station is in standby mode, it is stable and easy to assemble thanks to the columns and flange connections.

The mobile filling station can be easily transported in individual modules on transport vehicles. Assembly at the installation site is quick and easy using lifting equipment.

An example of an implementation is explained in the following drawing. It shows:

Fig. 1: The mobile gas station.

Fig. 2: The tank module of the mobile filling station.

Fig. 3: The basic module of the mobile gas station.

Fig. 4: The tanks of the mobile filling station.

According to Fig. 1, the mobile filling station consists of the basic module 2, the tank module 1 arranged above it by means of columns 1.3; 2.4. and the trays 3 arranged below on the sides of the basic module 2, whereby the basic module 2, the tank module 1 and the trays 3 are firmly but also easily detachably connected to one another.

According to Fig. 3, four lower columns 2.4 are positioned approximately symmetrically on the base plate 2.6 of the base module 2 at a smaller distance from the longitudinal axis of the tank 1.2 and a larger distance from the transverse axis of the tank 1.2, which terminate at the upper end with a lower flange 2.1, which creates a fixed but also detachable connection with the tank module 1. Between the lower columns 1.3 there are also boxes 2.5 for accommodating the tank technology and tank columns 2.3.

According to Fig. 2, an upper flange 1.4 is attached to the lower side of the tank module 1 on the four upper columns 1.3, which are axially aligned with the lower columns 2.4, which creates a fixed but also detachable connection with the base module 2. On the upper side of the upper columns 1.3 is the tank 1.2, which is covered on its top by a roof 1.1 at a short distance.

The cross-section of tank 1.2 in the lower part is horizontal in the middle, then symmetrically vertical on both sides and continues to rise at an angle, before continuing approximately vertically upwards, with the two corners of its upper edge connected by an upward-pointing arch. Its length is significantly greater than its width.
