Definitions

  • a tank container with the specified in the first part of claim 1 Features are known from DE-C-32 12 696.
  • the cylindrical one Tank with front frame connected via a saddle structure, one front ring welded to the tank bottom and one connected to it Saddle ring includes.
  • the saddle ring is designed and has a profile ring an axial flange welded to the end ring and one with the relevant one Front frame connected radial flange.
  • the front frame points four diagonal struts to which the radial flange of the saddle ring is welded is and which serve the tank load in the front frame and last but not least in the corner fittings provided on this.
  • the saddle ring is also welded directly to the corner supports of the front frame.
  • the well-known concept has because of the high rigidity and Proven reliability of the saddle.
  • DE-U-297 05 851 is another tank container with the one in the first Part of claim 1 features known, the without diagonal struts works in the front frame.
  • An exemplary embodiment is a saddle ring made from a square tube used, which is cut open in the area of the frame elements and with the two radial flanges so formed on the frame member is welded on.
  • a Angle saddle ring worked, the radial flange is so wide that it both the corner supports as well as the cross bars of the end frame overlap and can be welded to them. In this case, the front ring start relatively far out on the bottom of the tank.
  • the invention has for its object a tank container to specify the one with the least possible use of materials and labor secure saddle between the tank and the container front frame guaranteed.
  • the solution to this problem according to the invention is in claim 1 featured.
  • the saddle assembly then comprises two profile elements, each at its two ends with the upper and lower cross bars is connected and in a central section over the front ring follows a certain angular range and in this area with the front ring connected is.
  • the function of the known four diagonal struts and the known one Saddle rings but come in comparison to the one mentioned Construction with fewer components and correspondingly less weight out.
  • the manufacturing effort is reduced.
  • the saddle according to the invention is more versatile in that there are different ones Make tank and face ring diameter easier to handle.
  • the front ring does not need a closed circular To be ring; the invention is also applicable when the Front ring interrupted or consists of individual segments. In particular in the lower area there is an interruption due to the one provided here Fittings often useful. Furthermore, the front ring in the upper The area must be interrupted in order to achieve further weight savings.
  • Claim 4 relates to a typical wrap angle between the curved sections of the profile elements and the end ring.
  • Claims 5 and 6 relate to typical ones suitable for practice Designs.
  • the front frame 10 of the tank container consists of two corner supports 11 (only one of which is shown), which are connected to one another via a lower cross member 12 and an upper cross member 13 , each with the insertion of a corner fitting 14 .
  • the tank 16 is provided with end rings 17 welded to its two bottoms, each of which is connected to the end ring 17 via two profile elements 18 .
  • profile elements 18 In Figure 1, only one of the two profile elements 18 is shown in the left half of the drawing. In the right half there is a symmetrically designed profile element. Furthermore, a conductor 19 inserted into the end frame is shown in FIG.
  • Each end ring 17 can be stiffened on its free edge facing away from the tank 16 by an inward or outward radial flange (not shown).
  • the profile element 18 has three sections, namely two outer straight sections 20 , 21 and a central section 22 connecting them .
  • the outer ends of the straight sections 20 , 21 are connected to the relevant upper and lower cross member 13 , 12 at a location which lies between the center and a quarter of the cross member.
  • the curved middle section 22 of the profile element 18 follows the end ring 17 over an angle of approximately 90 °;
  • the profile element 18 is welded to the end ring 17 over this entire area.
  • the wrap angle ie the angular range in which the profile element 18 follows the end ring 17 , depends on the relative dimensioning and relative arrangement of the tank and end frame. As a rule, the wrap angle will be in a range from approximately 50 ° to approximately 100 °.
  • FIG. 1 relates to large containers.
  • a design of the profile elements 18 is also conceivable, in which instead of the straight sections 20 , 21, outwardly bent sections are provided which are connected to the end frame 10 at or near the respective corner fitting 14 .
  • This concept is advantageous in that the tank load is introduced directly into the corner fittings 14 . In such a case, one or both cross bars of the front frame 10 could be missing.
  • the profile element 18 is formed from a rectangular tube which is welded to the end ring 17 with an axial flange. In the area in which the profile element 18 reaches the corner support 11 , it is cut parallel to the inner surface of the corner support 11 , so that in this area there is a U-cross section with two radial flanges which are welded to the inner surface of the corner support 11 parallel to the tank axis are.
  • the profile element 18 is dimensioned and arranged such that its outer surface facing away from the tank 16 and perpendicular to the tank axis is set back by a certain amount in relation to the corresponding outer surface of the corner support 11 .
  • This offset makes it possible to design the conductor 19 shown in FIG. 1 continuously, thereby simplifying the assembly.
  • Figure 3 differs from that according to FIG 2 in that the rectangular tube of the profile element 18 is also fully maintained in the region of the corner posts 11, is engaged into a slot provided in the inner surface of the corner post 11 segment 25 and welded at the point of penetration.
  • the profile element 18 ' consists of a U-profile element with two radially outwardly facing flanges 27 , 28 , which in turn in the area in which the profile element 18' approaches the corner support 11 , parallel to the inner surface of the corner support 11 are trimmed and butt welded to this surface.
  • Figure 5 shows a further design possibility with a U-shaped profile element 18 ', the two radial flanges 27, are fully retained 28 over the entire length, wherein the tank 16 adjacent the flange is welded to the adjacent surface of the corner post 11 27, while the tank 16 distant flange 28 engages in a slot 29 formed in the corner support 11 and is welded at the penetration point.
  • the end ring 17 is designed as a closed circular ring.
  • fittings 30 are provided in the lower region of the tank.
  • the face ring 17 is interrupted in the area of these fittings 30 .
