Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung und/oder zum Transport von umweltgefährdenden Flüssigkeiten, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for storing and / or transporting environmentally hazardous liquids, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Vorrichtungen sind beispielsweise als Palettenregallager, als Lagercontainer oder auch als einzeln stehende Paletten ausgebildet, auf denen Flüssigkeitsbehälter wie Fässer oder dergleichen abgestellt werden können. Aus der Praxis ist eine palettenartige Auffangwanne bekannt, die durch einen die Stellfläche für die Flüssigkeitsbehälter bildenden Gitterrost abgedeckt ist und in der im Fall eines Lecks in einem der Flüssigkeitsbehalter die auslaufende Flüssigkeit zurückgehalten wird. Die Auffangwanne ist mit Füßen versehen, die es gestatten, die Wanne nach Art einer Palette mit einem Gabelstapler zu unterfahren.Devices of this type are designed, for example, as pallet rack storage, as storage containers or as individually standing pallets on which liquid containers such as barrels or the like can be placed. A pallet-like collecting trough is known from practice, which is covered by a grating which forms the storage area for the liquid containers and in which, in the event of a leak in one of the liquid containers, the escaping liquid is retained. The drip pan is provided with feet that allow the pallet to be passed under with a forklift in the manner of a pallet.

In der Druckschrift DE-U-8 632 864 wird ein Lagercontainer mit den Abmessungen eines üblichen Frachtcontainers beschrieben, der eine in den Boden integrierte Auffangwanne zum Auffangen von Leckflüssigkeit aufweist. Die geschlossenen Stirnseitenwände des Containers sind flüssigkeitsdicht mit der Auffangwanne verbunden und bestehen aus relativ stabilem Stahlblech, so daß sie die eingelagerten Flüssigkeitsbehälter nicht nur gegen Witterungseinflüsse, sondern auch gegen mechanische Beschädigung schützen können. An der Vorderseite ist der Container jedoch offen, damit die Flüssigkeitsbehälter wie bei einem Regal ein- und ausgelagert werden können.In the document DE-U-8 632 864, a storage container with the dimensions of a conventional freight container is described, which has a collecting trough integrated in the floor for collecting leakage liquid. The closed end walls of the container are liquid-tightly connected to the drip pan and are made of relatively stable steel sheet so that they can protect the stored liquid container not only against the weather but also against mechanical damage. At the front, however, the container is open so that the liquid containers can be stored and removed like on a shelf.

Die herkömmlichen Auffangwannen und Container mit integrierter Auffangwanne gestatten es zwar, die aus einem Leck im Boden eines Flüssigkeitsbehälters auslaufende Flussigkeit und auch die an den Wänden der Flüssigkeitsbehälter herablaufende Flüssigkeit aufzufangen, doch besteht nach wie vor die Gefahr, daß bei einer Beschädigung der Seitenwände der Flüssigkeitsbehälter die Leckflüssigkeit in einem relativ kräftigen Strahl austritt und über den Rand der Auffangwanne hinausspritzt, so daß der Boden des Lagergebäudes verunreinigt und/oder die Leckflüssigkeit in die Kanalisation oder in das Grundwasser gelangt.The conventional sumps and containers with an integrated sump allow the liquid escaping from a leak in the bottom of a liquid container and also the liquid flowing down the walls of the liquid container, but there is still the risk that if the side walls of the liquid container are damaged the leakage liquid emerges in a relatively powerful jet and splashes out over the edge of the collecting trough, so that the floor of the storage building becomes contaminated and / or the leakage liquid gets into the sewage system or into the groundwater.

In der Druckschrift DE-U 8 622 993 wird ein Behälter beschrieben, der als geschweißte Stahlkonstruktion auf einer Auffangwanne aufbaut. Die Wände des Behälters werden durch Stahlrahmen gebildet, in die jeweils eine relativ dünne Verkleidungsplatte eingesetzt ist. Die Stahlkonstruktion ist an drei Seiten mit der Auffangwanne verschweißt und ermöglicht es, durch Anbringen von Klappen oder Türen einen allseits geschlossenen Behälter zu schaffen der sich zur Lagerung und zum Transport im Freien eignet. Eine weitere Funktion der Stahlkonstruktion besteht darin, eine Stapelung mehrerer Behälter zu ermöglichen.In the document DE-U 8 622 993 a container is described, which is built as a welded steel structure on a sump. The walls of the container are formed by steel frames, in each of which a relatively thin cladding panel is inserted. The steel structure is welded to the drip pan on three sides and, by attaching flaps or doors, it is possible to create a container that is closed on all sides and is suitable for storage and transport outdoors. Another function of the steel structure is to allow multiple containers to be stacked.

Die relativ dünnen Wandverkleidungsen können jedoch beispielsweise von der Gabel eines anfahrenden Gabelstaplers relativ leicht durchstoßen werden und bieten somit keinen ausreichenden Schutz gegen Beschädigung der eingelagerten Fässer. Da zudem auch kein flüssigkeitsdichter Anschluß der Wandverkleidungen an die Auffangwanne gewährleistet ist und die Wandverkleidung sich bei einem Aufprall leicht aus dem Stahlrahmen lösen kann, besteht die Gefahr, daß die aus den Fässern herausspritzende Flüssigkeit in die Umgebung gelangt.However, the relatively thin wall cladding can, for example, be relatively easily pierced by the fork of a forklift approaching and therefore does not offer adequate protection against damage to the stored barrels. In addition, since there is no liquid-tight connection of the wall cladding to the collecting trough and the wall cladding can easily detach from the steel frame in the event of an impact, there is a risk that the liquid spurting out of the barrels will get into the environment.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Lagervorrichtung zu schaffen, durch die zuverlässig verhindert wird, daß in der Vorrichtung gelagerte oder transportierte Flüssigkeitsbehälter beschädigt werden und herausspritzende Leckflüssigkeit unkontrolliert in die Umwelt gelangt.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a storage device which reliably prevents liquid containers stored or transported in the device from being damaged and leaked liquid spurting out into the environment in an uncontrolled manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung in der Form einer palettenartigen Auffangwanne mit den in Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. Anspruch 7 betrifft eine Lagervorrichtung, in der palettenartige Auffangwannen gemäß Anspruch 1 mit einem Regalcontainer kombiniert sind.This object is achieved according to the invention by a device in the form of a pallet-like collecting trough with the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention result from the subclaims. Claim 7 relates to a storage device in which pallet-like collecting trays are combined according to claim 1 with a shelf container.

Im folgenden werden bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.Preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht einer Auffangwanne für die Lagerung von Flüssigkeitsbehältern;
  • Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht einer Auffangwanne gemäß einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung; und
  • Fig. 3 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Lagercontainers mit Auffangwannen.
Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a drip pan for the storage of liquid containers.
  • 2 shows a side view of a collecting trough according to another exemplary embodiment of the invention; and
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a storage container with sumps.

In Figur 1 ist eine palettenartige Auffangwanne 10 gezeigt, die mit Füßen 12 versehen und durch einen Gitterrost 14 abgedeckt ist. An einer Seite der Auffangwanne 10 ist ein senkrecht aufragender Schutzschild 16 aus Blech angebracht, der an seinem unteren Rand flüssigkeitsdicht mit der Wand der Auffangwanne 10 verschweißt ist. Der Schutzschild 16 weist Seitenwände 18 auf, die ein Stück um die Ecken der Auffangwanne herumgezogen sind. Durch eine schräg nach außen abfallende obere Wand 20 des Schutzschilds wird Regenwasser nach außen abgeleitet. An den Seitenwänden 18 des Schutzschilds ist ein Halter 22 für Flüssigkeitsbehälter, beispielsweise für Fässer angebracht. Im gezeigten Beispiel wird der Halter 22 durch einen Gurt gebildet, der mit Hilfe einer Schnalle 24 um das Faß spannbar ist.FIG. 1 shows a pallet-like collecting trough 10 which is provided with feet 12 and is covered by a grating 14. A vertically protruding protective shield 16 made of sheet metal is attached to one side of the collecting trough 10 and is welded at its lower edge in a liquid-tight manner to the wall of the collecting trough 10. The protective shield 16 has side walls 18 which are pulled a little around the corners of the collecting trough. Rainwater is drained to the outside through an upper wall 20 of the protective shield sloping outwards. A holder 22 for liquid containers, for example for barrels, is attached to the side walls 18 of the protective shield. In the example shown, the holder 22 is formed by a belt which can be tensioned around the barrel by means of a buckle 24.

Zur Lagerung von Flüssigkeitsbehältern können ein oder mehrere der in Figur 1 gezeigten Auffangwannen 10 in einer Lagerhalle oder dergleichen aufgestellt werden. Die Auffangwannen werden vorzugsweise dicht nebeneinandergetellt und derart orientiert, daß ihre Schutzschilde 16 dem Verkehrsweg des Lagers zugewandt sind. Durch die Schutzschilde werden dann die eingelagerten Flüssigkeitsbehälter gegen Beschädigung durch auf dem Verkehrsweg fahrende Gabelstapler oder dergleichen geschützt. Wenn dennoch ein Leck in einem der Flüssigkeitsbehälter auf der dem Verkehrsweg zugewandten Seite auftritt, so wird die herausspritzende Leckflüssigkeit durch den Schutzschild 16 aufgefangen und in die Auffangwanne geleitet. An den übrigen, nicht durch Schutzschilde gesicherten Rändern der Auffangwanne wird ein Austritt von Leckflüssigkeit beispielsweise dadurch verhindert, daß die Auffangwannen dicht an dicht nebeneinandergestellt sind und daß die Fugen zwischen den Auffangwannen durch in umgekehrter Stellung auf die Wannenränder aufgelegte U-Schienen abgedichtet sind. An den Ecken einer in solcher Weise gebildeten Lagerfläche können auch Auffangwannen vorgesehen sein, die an zwei aneinandergrenzenden Rändern mit einem Schutzschild versehen sind.For the storage of liquid containers, one or more of the collecting trays 10 shown in FIG. 1 can be set up in a warehouse or the like. The drip pans are preferably placed close together and oriented in such a way that their protective shields 16 face the traffic route of the camp. The stored liquid containers are then protected by the protective shields against damage by forklifts or the like traveling on the traffic route. If a leak nevertheless occurs in one of the liquid containers on the side facing the traffic route, it will spit out Leaking liquid caught by the protective shield 16 and passed into the drip pan. At the other edges of the drip pan, which are not secured by protective shields, leakage of leakage liquid is prevented, for example, by the drip trays being placed close together and by the joints between the drip trays being sealed by U-rails placed in the opposite position on the tub edges. At the corners of a bearing surface formed in this way, collecting trays can also be provided, which are provided with a protective shield on two adjoining edges.

Auffangwannen dieser Art können nicht nur für ein ebenerdiges Lager eingesetzt werden, sondern können auch die Bodenfläche einer aufgeständerten Lagerbühne bilden.Collection trays of this type can not only be used for a ground-level warehouse, but can also form the floor area of a raised platform.

Darüber hinaus eignen sich die Auffangwannen auch zum Transport von Fässern oder dergleichen auf Lastkraftwagen. In diesem Fall werden die Auffangwannen mit nach außen weisenden Schutzschilden auf die Ladefläche aufgestellt.In addition, the sumps are also suitable for transporting drums or the like on trucks. In this case, the drip pans are placed on the loading area with protective shields facing outwards.

Durch den Halter 22 wird ein Umstürzen der eingelagerten oder transportierten Fässer verhindert, so daß die Sicherheit weiter erhöht wird.The holder 22 prevents the stored or transported barrels from falling over, so that safety is further increased.

Die Füße 12 gestatten es, die Auffangwanne nach Art einer Palette mit Hilfe eines Gabelstaplers zu unterfahren.The feet 12 allow the collecting pan to be driven under in the manner of a pallet with the aid of a forklift.

Figur 2 zeigt eine abgewandelte Ausführungsform der Auffangwanne, bei der die Füße als rechtwinklig zur Ebene des Schutzschilds 16 verlaufende bügelförmige und an den Ecken abgerundete Kufen 26 ausgebildet sind. Die Kufen bieten ebenfalls die Möglichkeit, die Auffangwanne 10 von allen Seiten her mit einem Gabelstapler zu unterfahren, und haben den weiteren Vorteil, daß die Auffangwannen 10 auch auf einem Rollgang transportiert werden können.FIG. 2 shows a modified embodiment of the collecting trough, in which the feet are designed as bow-shaped runners 26 which run at right angles to the level of the protective shield 16 and are rounded at the corners. The runners also offer the possibility of driving under the collecting trough 10 from all sides with a forklift, and have the further advantage that the collecting troughs 10 can also be transported on a roller table.

Der Schutzschild 16 ist gemäß Figur 2 an seinem unteren Rand mit einem schräg nach außen abfallenden Abweiser 28 versehen, der verhindert, daß das an der Außenfläche des Schutzschildes 16 herablaufende Regenwasser in den Bereich unter der Auffangwanne 10 gelangt.The protective shield 16 is provided according to FIG. 2 at its lower edge with a diagonally falling deflector 28 which prevents the rainwater running down the outer surface of the protective shield 16 from reaching the area under the collecting trough 10.

Figur 3 zeigt ein Flüssigkeitslager, das durch einen längsseitig offenen Regalcontainer 30 mit einer fachwerkartigen Stahlrahmenkonstruktion 32 gebildet wird. Eine obere Lagerebene 34 wird durch in die Rahmenkonstruktion eingehängte Auffangwannen gebildet. Die untere Lagerebene wird dagegen durch Auffangwannen 10 der in Figur 1 oder 2 gezeigten Art gebildet, die schubladenartig in die unteren Fächer des Regalcontainers eingeschoben sind. Die Abmessungen der Schutzschilde 16 sind so an die Rahmenkonstruktion 32 angepaßt, daß durch die Schutzschilde der nebeneinandergestellten Auffangwannen die unteren Fächer des Regalcontainers 30 vollständig abgeschlossen werden. Die Einschubtiefe der Auffangwannen 10 ist durch geeignete Anschläge derart begrenzt, daß die Schutzschilde 16 bündig mit der Frontseite des Regalcontainers abschließen und daß das an den Schutzschilden herunterlaufende Regenwasser durch die Abweiser 28 nach außen abgeleitet wird und nicht in den Bodenraum des Containers unterhalb der Auffangwannen 10 gelangt.FIG. 3 shows a liquid store which is formed by a shelf container 30 which is open on the longitudinal side and has a truss-like steel frame construction 32. An upper bearing level 34 is formed by collecting trays suspended in the frame construction. The lower storage level, on the other hand, is formed by collecting trays 10 of the type shown in FIG. 1 or 2, which are inserted like drawers into the lower compartments of the shelf container. The dimensions of the protective shields 16 are adapted to the frame structure 32 such that the lower compartments of the shelf container 30 are completely closed off by the protective shields of the collecting trays placed next to one another. The insertion depth of the collecting troughs 10 is limited by suitable stops in such a way that the protective shields 16 are flush with the front of the shelf container and that the rainwater running down the protective shields is discharged to the outside through the deflectors 28 and not into the floor space of the container below the collecting troughs 10 reached.

Die Tiefe der Auffangwannen entspricht etwa der halben Tiefe des Regalcontainers 32, so daß die untere Lagerebene des Containers vollständig abgeschlossen ist, wenn die Auffangwannen 10 von entgegengesetzten Seiten her eingeschoben sind.The depth of the collecting troughs corresponds to approximately half the depth of the shelf container 32, so that the lower storage level of the container is completely closed when the collecting troughs 10 are inserted from opposite sides.

Vorzugsweise wird durch geeignete Einschubsperren verhindert, daß die Auffangwannen 10 verkehrt herum, also mit nach innen weisendem Schutzschild 16 in den Container eingeschoben werden. Die Einschubsperre wird vorzugsweise durch von dem Schutzschild 16 aufragende Sperrstäbe 36 gebildet, die am oberen Rand des Container-Faches anschlagen.Suitable slide-in locks preferably prevent the collecting trays 10 from being inserted into the container upside down, that is to say with the protective shield 16 pointing inwards. The insertion lock is preferably formed by locking rods 36 which protrude from the protective shield 16 and which abut the upper edge of the container compartment.

In einer abgewandelten Ausführungsform wird die Einschubsperre durch eine in Längsrichtung in dem Regalcontainer 32 verlaufende schablonenartige Leiste 38 (Fig. 1) gebildet, die mit Taschen 40 zur Aufnahme der Füße 12 der Auffangwanne gemäß Figur 1 versehen ist. Wie in Figur 1 zu erkennen ist, ist der Abstand der Füße 12 am vorderen, mit dem Schutzschild 16 verstehenen Rand der Auffangwanne von dem Abstand der Füße am gegenüberliegenden Rand verschieden, so daß sich die Auffangwanne nur in der richtigen Stellung, mit nach außen weisendem Schutzschild vollständig in den Regalcontainer einschieben läßt.In a modified embodiment, the insertion lock is formed by a template-like strip 38 (FIG. 1) which runs in the longitudinal direction in the shelf container 32 and is provided with pockets 40 for receiving the feet 12 of the collecting trough according to FIG. As can be seen in Figure 1, the distance between the feet 12 on the front edge, understood by the protective shield 16, of the collecting trough is different from the distance between the feet on the opposite edge, so that the collecting trough is only in the correct position, with the outside facing Push the protective shield fully into the shelf container.

Der Schutzschild 16 ist vorzugsweise als selbsttragende Konstruktion aus einem hinreichend steifen Blech, beispielsweise einem Stahlblech mit einer Dicke von 3 oder 5 mm ausgebildet.The protective shield 16 is preferably designed as a self-supporting structure made of a sufficiently rigid sheet, for example a steel sheet with a thickness of 3 or 5 mm.
