INTERCHANGEABLE CONTAINER FOR CEREALS

Technical field The swap body for the transport of grain is a combined means of transport with standardized dimensions, which is suitable for the transport of grain and other agricultural commodities. The swap body according to the invention can be transported without restrictions on all railway and road vehicles which are suitable for the transport of containers and from there they can be emptied onto any side w

PRIOR ART In the field of rail and road transport, the number of containers for grain transport developed to date can be regarded as minimal. The most common type of container is the tiltable container Seine

Loading takes place via a dome opening on the roof, while it is emptied after lifting by means of a special device via an emptying door arranged on one end wall. Its disadvantages 0 - A lifting device is required for emptying It cannot be emptied from the railroad car.Multiple movement, if necessary Reloading is required

An interchangeable container is known which is technically designed such that a saddle is formed in its interior and the emptying takes place by gravitation 5

Its disadvantages It is emptied on both sides at the same time. The regulation of the emptying is cumbersome. Its handling is not safe, dangerous for accidents. 0 There is also an interchangeable container which goes through to the middle

Gravity is drained Its disadvantages - A special Eiseπbahnwaggon is used for transport and only this can be emptied

- It can only be emptied at a special (suitable) receiving point - Additional investments are claimed

The least widespread container is the container that can be emptied using the vacuum process. This is actually a standard-compliant container, on the end wall of which there is an opening through which the device is connected to the container. Its disadvantages

It requires a special emptying device. It cannot be emptied from the railway wagon. It requires extra labor

The essence of the invention. The object to be solved by the invention is to enable the emptying of grain or other grain products, granular substances, granules in a metered manner directly from the transporting railway or road vehicle to any side

The above object was achieved with the design of the interchangeable container according to the invention, in which two chambers, compartments or butts are formed inside the interchangeable container, from which the grain can be emptied to the desired side by gravity via a horizontally arranged emptying sliding door. In addition, the emptying mechanism secures also a constant dosing of the outflowing grain

The exchangeable container for the transport of grain has a base, two side walls, two end walls and a roof, which together form a container-like device, and the corner elements corresponding to the standards are arranged thereon, with the aid of which they can be coupled to the transport vehicle and with can be lifted by a crane Furthermore, a roof is designed for loading on the roof and a tread is arranged around the roof According to the invention, two butts are formed in the interior of the interchangeable container, the bottom of which is formed with a conical surface sloping towards the center, and an outlet opening is formed in the bottom of the two butts in the middle, to which a sliding door that closes the outlet opening in the middle position is assigned , wherein the sliding door to the longitudinal direction of the swap body is designed to be displaceable in the lateral direction and an actuating device, which is suitable for moving the sliding door relative to the central position in both directions, is connected to it and is connected to the lateral edges of the sliding door at an angle to the outside and below are furthermore arranged under the outlet opening symmetrically formed guide trough, the outlet opening of the guide trough being arranged on the opposite sides of the swap body

In a preferred embodiment of the swap body according to the invention, the actuating device contains a toothed rack fastened to the sliding door and fastened to the longitudinal direction of the swap body in the transverse direction, essentially in a horizontal position, the toothed rack being connected to a drive shaft via a gearwheel and gearbox in the case of such an embodiment it is advantageous if the drive shaft is located in the transverse direction and in a horizontal position with respect to the longitudinal direction of the swap body and a handwheel is arranged at both ends thereof and is accessible and actuatable from the side of the swap body placed on the vehicle It is also advantageous if the handwheel is in the middle position

Sliding door lockable bolt is assigned, which fixes the handwheel in this middle position In this case, the outlet opening is closed and this also offers the possibility to check whether the load is in the unbroken state if the bolt is provided with a seal of the invention Swap body is preferably designed with a load capacity and dimensions such that it meets the technical conditions of symmetrical change containers Decision No. UIC 592-4 corresponds. Furthermore, it complies completely with other standards-compliant test requirements and regulations, for example those that were drawn up by the technical committee CEN / TC 119 with the title "Swap bodies", the secretariat of which is headed by the Standardization Commission for Vehicles (FAKRA) of the German Standards Institute (DIN).

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention and its further features and advantageous properties are explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment and with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 shows the side view of an interchangeable container according to the invention,

2 shows a partially cut-out top view of the swap body according to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 shows a section through the swap body according to FIG. 1 along the line III-III, and FIG. 4 shows a kinematic diagram of the emptying mechanism of the

Exchangeable container according to Fig. 1. Description of the preferred embodiment of the invention The interchangeable container shown in the accompanying drawings has a base frame 1, two side walls 2, two end walls 3 and a roof 5, which together form a container-like device and are accordingly provided with standard corner elements 4 by means of which this can be connected to a transport vehicle and which enable lifting with the aid of a crane. On the roof 5, two roof doors are made that allow loading, around which treads 7 are arranged to support the work during loading. In the interior of the interchangeable container, two butts 14 are formed, the bottom of which is formed with a conical surface, which surfaces drop towards the center. On the bottom of the two butts 14 in the middle, an outlet opening 8 is formed, to which a sliding door 9 is assigned. The sliding door 9 can be moved in the direction of the arrow indicated in FIG. 3. Downward-standing guide plates 13 are formed on the lateral edges of the sliding door 9. Under the outlet opening 8 there are symmetrically arranged guide troughs 12, Slides, the outlet opening of which is located on the sides of the swap body

The interchangeable container according to the invention is filled during loading via the roof doors 6 formed on the roof 5, while the sliding door 9 closes the outlet opening 8 of the butte 14 of the interchangeable container in the central position

During unloading, the sliding door 9 located under the outlet opening 8 is moved from the central position in the lateral direction (in one of the directions shown by the arrow pointing in two directions in FIG. 3)

After opening the sliding door 9 of the horizontally arranged emptying mechanism provided with the guide plates 13, the grain passes from the butte 14 by gravity to the guide troughs 12 and from there to the outside, to the side selected as desired during unloading

The sliding door 9 is associated with an actuation device 22

Actuating device 22 can be designed in different ways. FIG. 4 shows a manually operable variant. In the case of this variant, 9 racks 18 are arranged on the bottom of the sliding door

Relative to the swap body in the transverse direction The racks are in engagement with gear wheels 17, which are arranged on an actuating shaft 21. The actuating shaft 21 is in relation to the swap body essentially in the longitudinal direction and is connected via a cardan shaft 16 to the output of a transmission 15 the input of the gear 15 is via a drive shaft 20 in the present case as a handwheel 10

The drive shaft 20 is shown in a position rotated by 90r to the actual position for the sake of clarity, in reality the drive shaft 20 is directed essentially parallel to the direction of the toothed racks 18. The handwheel 10 is a

Lock 11 assigned, which for example with the help of any

Locking device can be locked instead of or in addition to the handwheel 10, a pneumatic or electric drive device can be used, the transmission ratio of

Gear 15 is to be selected in a corresponding manner. The gear 15 can be designed, for example, as a bevel gear or worm gear The emptying mechanism of the interchangeable container for the transport of grain enables easy-to-use, meterable emptying by changing the cross section of the outlet opening 8 by moving the sliding door 9 in a horizontal direction via the handwheel shaft 20, the gear 15, the cardan shaft 16 and the toothed wheel 17-rack 18 - Transmission The handwheel shaft 20 and the sliding door shaft 21 are arranged on bearings 19 for ease of use

That the emptying mechanism of the swap body for the

Transport of grain-actuating handwheel 10 can only be rotated if the bolt 11 - which has a neutral position in the central position - has been unlocked in advance while the sliding door is being closed

When the neutral center position is reached, the handwheel automatically locks

The most important advantage of the interchangeable container according to the invention is that it can be emptied from the transported grain or other agricultural grain products in a metered manner on any side directly from the railway wagon or the road vehicle

Another advantage of the swap body is that it is suitable for transporting the grain in a uniform system from the place of mash threshing to the place of use. It can be stacked in the same way as the containers and therefore it is economical to store it with Help can achieve an extremely short, maximum 8-10 minutes emptying time, ie the discharge technology is shortened to an extraordinary degree. According to the simple structure of the solution, its maintenance and repair

Maintenance costs very low

Based on the above, the swap body according to the invention is free, unhindered, and can be used in all European railway and state networks without any restrictions
