Description

[0001] The invention relates to a transport container, in particular for the transport of components, materials, tools, piece goods and other products, comprising a rectangular base, side walls, at least one intermediate base and a lid, wherein the intermediate base has a plurality of outwardly projecting pins on two opposite edges and opposite side walls in several levels at different distances from the base have openings on their inner sides aligned with one another for receiving the pins of an intermediate base, so that at least one intermediate base can be fastened by inserting the pins into openings in different levels.

[0002] Such transport containers are used primarily for transporting goods from suppliers to producers. For example, service providers are known to provide suppliers with such transport containers, folded flat and stacked on top of each other upon request. The transport containers are erected by the suppliers, filled with their products, and sealed. They are then transported to the producer by truck. The producer then empties them, folds them flat, and stacks them on top of each other. The stacks are picked up, cleaned by the service provider, and stored until the next supplier requests them.

[0003] GB 2 377 695 A describes a shipping container with a plurality of shelf elements supported on shelf rails on different sides of the container. Each set of shelf rails comprises continuous and interrupted shelf rails, the interrupted shelf rails consisting of support elements separated by gaps. Each shelf element has two opposite edges supported on a pair of opposite shelf rails, one edge being crenellated and the other edge being straight. The crenellated edge rests on a continuous shelf rail with a plurality of projections separated by gaps. The straight edge rests on an interrupted shelf rail. The projections of the crenellated edge are offset from the support elements of the interrupted shelf rails.As a result, when inserting and removing individual shelves, the crenellated edge can be pivoted upwards, allowing the projections to pass through the gaps between the support elements of the interrupted shelf strip arranged above. This allows the shelf elements to be inserted and removed from the container even when the shelf rails are close together, thus allowing more efficient use of the storage space. A disadvantage is that the shelf rails protrude into the storage space. This can hinder automatic filling and emptying, as well as cleaning of the transport container, and result in lost storage space.

[0004] WO 2011 / 098196 A1 describes a large load carrier for receiving and transporting goods, merchandise, or the like, comprising a rectangular, in particular pallet-like, base, in particular foldable side walls, and a lid. The large load carrier has at least one intermediate base that can be arranged between the side walls at a distance from the base. The intermediate base has pins on at least two opposite edges, so that the intermediate base can be attached to at least two opposite inner sides of the side walls by plug-in connections consisting of the pins and openings. The large load carrier is equipped with several intermediate bases that are at different distances from the base. For loading, at least two side walls are removed, and the intermediate bases are inserted into two corners of interconnected side walls.Once all the shelves have been inserted, the two opposite side panels can be installed and the plug-in connections to the shelves made. To rearrange the shelves, side panels must also be removed and reattached. Attaching and detaching the shelves is a complex process.

[0005] Based on this, the invention seeks to create a transport container in which at least one intermediate shelf can be attached at multiple levels at different distances from the floor, while simplifying attachment and removal. In particular, the transport container should be better suited for automatic loading with intermediate shelves and for cleaning.

[0006] The object is achieved by a transport container having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the transport container are specified in subclaims.

[0007] The transport container according to the invention, in particular for the transport of components, materials, tools, piece goods and other products, comprises a rectangular base, side walls, at least one intermediate base and a lid, wherein the intermediate base has a plurality of outwardly projecting pins on two opposite edges and opposite side walls have openings on their inner sides in several levels with different distances from the base for receiving the pins of an intermediate base, so that at least one intermediate base can be fastened by inserting the pins into openings in different levels, characterized in that the openings in at least one side wall are designed as vertical elongated holes which each extend upwards from a plane in which an intermediate floor can be fastened, so that at least one intermediate floor can be inserted into openings on the inside of one side wall with the pins on one lateral edge in a position pivoted downwards with respect to the horizontal and can then be pivoted into elongated holes on the inside of the other side wall with the pins on the other lateral edge until the pins rest on the lower end of the elongated holes.

[0008] In the transport container according to the invention, the at least one intermediate floor can be fastened at different levels, as openings are provided on the inside of the side walls at different levels for this purpose. For this purpose, the intermediate floor only needs to be inserted into openings in one side wall in a position inclined at an acute angle to the horizontal with the pins on one lateral edge and then pivoted into elongated holes in the other side wall with the pins on the other lateral edge. For this purpose, it is not necessary to partially dismantle the side walls and then reinstall them after the intermediate floor has been fastened to the remaining side walls and connected to the intermediate floor. Instead, the intermediate floor can be brought into its intended position once all side walls have been erected and locked in place. This facilitates the fastening of the intermediate floor at any desired level.Furthermore, the invention facilitates the arrangement of several shelves at short intervals one above the other, since there are no protruding support elements on the inside of the side walls that prevent the shelves from pivoting upwards. The automatic filling and emptying of the transport container, as well as cleaning, are also not hindered by shelf rails for shelves on the inside of the side walls.

[0009] According to a further embodiment, each opening in one side wall is aligned with an opening in the opposite side wall, ie for each opening in one side wall there is an opening aligned on the same axis in the other side wall.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the invention, the pins on the two lateral edges of the at least one intermediate floor are arranged asymmetrically to a central axis directed perpendicular to the lateral edges, first openings for fastening an intermediate floor are arranged in a first plane on the inner sides of the side walls in such a way that they receive the pins of an intermediate floor in a first rotational position of the intermediate floor about the central axis, second openings for fastening an intermediate floor are arranged on the inner sides of the side walls in a second plane lower than the first plane in such a way that they receive the pins of an intermediate floor in a second rotational position rotated by 180° about the central axis with respect to the first rotational position, and / or third openings for fastening an intermediate floor are arranged on the inner sides of the side walls in a third plane higher than the first plane,that they accommodate the pins of an intermediate floor in the second rotational position. In this embodiment, the openings in superimposed levels for attaching multiple intermediate floors are not arranged one above the other, but are laterally offset from one another. The offset is based on the pins being arranged asymmetrically on the intermediate floor and the openings in the various levels being arranged such that the opening in the central plane can accommodate the pins when the intermediate floor is in a first rotational position, and the opening in the second level and / or the openings in the third level above the first level are arranged such that they accommodate the pins in the second rotational position of the intermediate floor.which is rotated 180° relative to the first rotational position. Due to the lateral offset of the openings in the different levels, the slots and the openings in an adjacent level can partially overlap. As a result, the different levels can be moved particularly close to one another, allowing the storage space in the transport container to be used particularly effectively.

[0011] According to a further embodiment, first elongated holes for fastening an intermediate shelf in the first level and second elongated holes for fastening an intermediate shelf in the second level and / or third elongated holes for fastening an intermediate shelf in the third level are arranged on the same side wall. In this embodiment, the elongated holes are arranged in at least two adjacent levels on the same side wall. As a result, intermediate shelves in the two levels can be fastened in the same way, i.e., by pivoting them in the same direction during insertion. This simplifies assembly. Alternatively, the elongated holes of the adjacent levels can be arranged in different side walls.

[0012] According to a further embodiment, the first elongated holes for attaching an intermediate floor in the first level partially overlap with the second elongated holes for attaching the intermediate floor in the second level and / or with the third elongated holes for attaching the intermediate floor in the third level. This allows the intermediate floors to be attached in the same way on two levels, allowing for particularly effective use of the storage space in the transport container.

[0013] According to another embodiment, the intermediate floor has exactly two tenons on each side edge, and the side walls each have exactly two openings on the inside for securing the intermediate floor at a specific level. The fact that the intermediate floor only needs to be attached to two openings in a side wall with two tenons on each edge simplifies assembly.

[0014] In each level where a mezzanine floor can be attached, the openings on the inside of one side wall have a contour corresponding to the tenons of a mezzanine floor, and the holes on the inside of the other side wall are elongated holes. By inserting the tenons into openings that have a contour corresponding to the tenons, the mezzanine floor is fixed vertically at one side edge, which simplifies further installation of the mezzanine floor.

[0015] According to a further embodiment, the openings are blind holes. By designing the openings as blind holes, openings on the outer sides of the side walls through which dirt could enter the storage space of the transport container are avoided. According to a further embodiment, the blind holes have a support surface for the pin that is inclined downwards towards the inner side wall. This allows cleaning fluid to drain from the blind holes after the transport container has been cleaned. According to a further embodiment, the side walls are designed as cavity walls. According to a further embodiment, the blind holes are encapsulated so that no fluid can penetrate into the cavity walls during cleaning.

[0016] According to a further embodiment, the base, side walls, intermediate floors, and lid are detachable. This detachability is advantageous for transporting the transport container when empty. Preferably, the transport container, at least the base, side walls, exactly one intermediate floor, and lid, can be folded flat. Several intermediate floors can be transported separately if necessary. According to a further embodiment, the intermediate floors are dimensioned such that they can be accommodated in a transport container of the same design. In this embodiment, a transport container of the same design can be used to transport the intermediate floors for a plurality of transport containers, which are transported separately from the intermediate floors in a folded flat state.

[0017] According to a further embodiment, first plug connections and / or first locking means are provided between the base and the side walls, and / or second plug connections and / or second locking means are provided between the side walls, and / or third plug connections and / or third locking means are provided between the side walls and the lid. These plug connections and / or locking means facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the transport container.

[0018] According to another embodiment, the floor is a pallet floor with a floor wall and at least one pallet foot on the underside of the floor wall. The design with a pallet foot is particularly stable and advantageous for transport, especially by forklifts or other industrial trucks.

[0019] According to a further embodiment, the lid has ribs or other elevations protruding from the top, which are designed to prevent a transport container of the same design, placed with its base on the lid, from lateral displacement by contact with the edge of a pallet foot and / or by engaging in a recess on the underside of the base. This facilitates secure stacking of transport containers in the assembled and / or flattened state during transport and storage.

[0020] According to a further embodiment, a side wall door is provided in at least one side wall, wherein the side wall door can preferably be opened about a horizontal hinge at its lower edge and, in the closed position, the side wall door can preferably be locked to the side wall. After removing the lid, the container can be at least partially filled and emptied through the side wall door. Furthermore, the loading space of the transport container can be inspected through the side wall door.

[0021] According to a further embodiment, the base and / or the side walls and / or the at least one intermediate base and / or the lid are made of one or more plastics and / or metal. This enables transport containers with high strength and low weight.

[0022] According to another embodiment, the at least one intermediate floor consists of plastic and metal. A steel-reinforced intermediate floor made of welded plastic panels and inserted steel tubes is preferred.

[0023] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of an exemplary embodiment. In the drawings: Fig. 1 the transport container in a perspective view obliquely from the front and from the side; Fig. 2 the transport container with the lid removed in a perspective view obliquely from the front and from the side; Fig. 3 the transport container with the lid removed and a single inserted intermediate floor with partially cut side walls in a perspective view obliquely from the front and from the side; Fig. 4 the transport container with two inserted intermediate floors and partially cut-out side walls in a perspective view obliquely from the front and from the side; Fig. 5 the transport container with an inserted intermediate floor in the lowest level with a removed side wall in a perspective view obliquely from the side; Fig. 6 the transport container with an inserted intermediate floor in the lowest level with a removed side wall in a perspective view obliquely from the other side; Fig. 7 the transport container with an inserted intermediate floor in the lowest level and another intermediate floor when inserted in the highest level with a removed side wall in a perspective view from the side; Fig. 8a-c the intermediate floor of the transport container in a top view ( Fig. 8a), in a front view ( Fig. 8b) and in a side view ( Fig. 8c); Fig. 9 the transport container packed with a plurality of vertically aligned intermediate shelves with the lid and side wall removed in a perspective view from the side; Fig. 10 of the transport container with a plurality of vertically inserted intermediate floors with two removed side walls in a perspective view obliquely from the side.

[0024] In the present application, the terms “top” and “bottom”, “horizontal” and “vertical” and terms derived therefrom such as “above” and “below” and “horizontal” and “vertical” refer to the arrangement of the transport container with the underside of the base on a horizontal surface, the side walls being placed on the base with their lower edges and the lid being placed on the upper edges of the side walls with its underside.

[0025] According to Fig. 1 to 7, the transport container 1 has a base 2, side walls 3, 4, 5, 6 placed thereon with the lower edge and a lid 7 placed on the upper edge of the side walls 3, 4, 5, 6.

[0026] The floor 2, the side walls 3, 4, 5, 6 and the lid 7 define a storage space.

[0027] The floor 2 is designed as a pallet floor. It has a floor wall 8, on the underside of which several pallet feet 9 are arranged in three parallel rows. The pallet feet 9 in each row are connected to each other by a strip-shaped base 10 on their underside. This is advantageous for transporting the transport container 1 using a forklift or other industrial truck.

[0028] The side walls 3, 4, 5, 6 are connected at their lower edges to the lateral edges of the base 2 by first plug connections and / or first locking means. Furthermore, the side walls 3, 4, 5, 6 are connected to each other at the corners of the transport container by second plug connections and / or second locking means. Furthermore, the side walls 3, 4, 5, 6 are connected to the lid 7 via third plug connections and / or third locking means.

[0029] The side walls 3, 4 each have a side wall door 11, 12 in the upper area, which can be opened about a horizontal hinge 13, 14 at its lower edge and can be locked to the side wall 3, 4 in the closed position.

[0030] The lid 7 has ribs 15 projecting from the top side on the lateral edges, which are designed to prevent a transport container 1 of the same type, placed with the base 2 on the lid 7, from lateral displacement by resting on the edges of the pallet feet 9.

[0031] The side wall 3 has on the inside in three levels with different distances from the floor two openings 15 in the form of blind holes 16. This is particularly Fig. 5. The openings have an essentially square shape, with rounded corners.

[0032] The openings 15 are equally spaced from each other in all levels. In a first level 17, which is at a medium distance from the floor, the first two openings 15.1 are laterally offset from the second openings 15.2 in a second level 18, which is closer to the floor, and from the third openings 15.3 in a third level 19, which is farther from the floor. The openings 15.2, 15.3 in the second and third levels 18, 19 are not laterally offset from each other.

[0033] As can be seen in particular from the Fig. 6, the side wall 5 has openings on the inside in the form of vertically aligned elongated holes 20. Two elongated holes 20 are arranged laterally next to each other at the same distance from the base 2. The first elongated holes 20.1 have their lower end in the first plane 17, in which the first openings 15.1 in the opposite side wall 3 are also arranged.

[0034] Second elongated holes 20.2 have their lower end in the second plane 18, in which the second openings 15.2 are arranged in the opposite side wall 3.

[0035] Third elongated holes 20.3 have their lower end in the third plane 19, in which the third openings 15.3 are arranged in the opposite side wall 3.

[0036] The first elongated holes 20.1 are laterally offset from the second and third elongated holes 20.2, 20.3. A second and a third elongated hole 20.2, 20.3 are arranged vertically one above the other. The first elongated holes 20.1 partially overlap the adjacent second and third elongated holes 20.2, 20.3.

[0037] Each first opening 15.1 is aligned with the lower end of a first elongated hole 20.1, each second opening 15.2 with the lower end of a second elongated hole 20.2 and each third opening 15.3 with the lower end of a third elongated hole 20.3.

[0038] According to Fig. 8, an intermediate floor 21 essentially consists of a rectangular plate 22, which has small radii at the corners. Two pins 23 protrude from each of the long lateral edges, each pin 23 being arranged on one edge on the same axis as a pin 23 on the other edge. Furthermore, at each edge, the pins 23 are arranged asymmetrically with respect to a central axis 24 directed perpendicular to the lateral edges. Accordingly, the left in Fig. 8a, the pins 23 projecting from the two lateral edges are at a greater distance from the central axis 24 than the pins 23 on the right in the Fig. 8a pins 23 protruding from the two side edges.

[0039] The plate 22 has several grip holes 25, which facilitate the insertion and removal of the intermediate floor 21 into the transport container 1. Two elongated grip holes 25.1 are arranged parallel to the central axis 24 on both sides, and two elongated grip openings 25.2, 25.3 are arranged parallel to the central axis 24 on each side of the transport container.

[0040] The intermediate floor 21 comprises welded plastic plates 26, 27 and inserted steel tubes 28.

[0041] According to Fig. 7, an intermediate floor 21 can be inserted into a transport container 1 by first inserting the intermediate floor 21 at an acute angle to the horizontal with the pins 23 on one edge into two openings 15 in the same plane of the side wall 3. The other lateral edge of the intermediate floor 21 is then pivoted downwards so that the pins 23 projecting there enter two elongated holes 20 in the opposite side wall 5 until they are aligned at their lower ends in the same plane as the pins 23 on the opposite side.

[0042] The intermediate floor 21 can be inserted into the transport container in the manner described even when all side walls are mounted, as in Fig. 2 shown.

[0043] In Fig. Figure 7 shows the insertion of an intermediate floor 21 into the third level 19. According to this illustration, an intermediate floor 21 has already been inserted into the second level 18. The intermediate floor 21 is inserted into the second level 18 in the same manner as in the third level 19.

[0044] The transport container 1 equipped with both intermediate floors 21 is in Fig. 4 shown.

[0045] For insertion into the second and third levels 18, 19, the intermediate shelves are rotated in the same rotational position relative to the central axis 24, so that the pins 23 have the same position relative to the central axis 24. This position is referred to as the second rotational position.

[0046] Alternatively, a single intermediate floor 21 can be fastened in the first openings 15.1, 20.1 in the first level 17. For this purpose, the intermediate floor 21 is rotated 180° around the center plane 24 relative to the second rotational position. This brings it to the first rotational position. In the first rotational position, the pins 23 can be inserted into the first openings 15.1, 20.1 of the first level 17. This is Fig. 3 shown.

[0047] The dimensions of the intermediate floor 21 are selected so that, in a horizontal orientation, it fits precisely between the side walls 3, 4, 5, and 6. The limitation to the usability at the various levels 17, 18, and 19 is based on the fact that the intermediate floor fits precisely into the cross-section of the storage space. Furthermore, the dimensions are coordinated so that a plurality of intermediate floors 21 can be inserted vertically next to one another in the transport container 1.

[0048] Furthermore, it is possible to equip the transport container 1 with three intermediate floors 21 in all levels 17, 18, 19.

[0049] Depending on the products to be transported, the transport container 1 can be equipped with intermediate floors 21. The lid 7 is placed on the transport container 1 equipped with intermediate floors 21, as shown in Fig. 1 shown.

[0050] Because the transport container 1 can be equipped with intermediate floors 21 when the side walls 3, 4, 5, 6 are mounted, it is possible to first place products on the floor 2, then insert an intermediate floor 21, store products on it, if necessary place further intermediate floors 21 and store products on them and finally put on the lid 7.

[0051] According to Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the transport container 1 can be used for the transport of the intermediate floors 21. For this purpose, the missing side walls 3, 4 or the lid 7 are added, which are shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 are omitted for illustration purposes. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
