Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Frachtbehälter für Lufttrans­porte mit auf einer Bodenplatte angeordnetem Traggerüst, welches von der Bodenplatte aufragende Profile und diese verbindende Querprofile für eine Behälterdecke aufweist sowie mit einer das Traggerüst wenigstens teilweise aus­fachender Beplankung versehen ist, wobei eine Seite des Frachtbehälters mit einer Beladeöffnung ausgestattet ist.The invention relates to a cargo container for air transportation with a support frame arranged on a base plate, which has upstanding profiles from the base plate and connecting transverse profiles for a container ceiling, and is provided with a paneling that at least partially fills out the support frame, one side of the cargo container being equipped with a loading opening .

Ein Frachtbehälter dieser Art ist der DE-OS 21 19 536 zu entnehmen. Die dort dargestellten Seitenwände bestehen aus zwei parallelen Vertikalpfosten, welche durch eine Firstpro­fil verbunden sind. Ein auskragender Teil des Firstprofils überspannt eine außerhalb der Bodenplatte verlaufende Zone der Seitenwand, welche von Profilen eingefaßt ist und von der Bodenplatte ab bis etwa zur Hälfte der Seitenwandhöhe eine schräge Kante aufweist.A freight container of this type can be found in DE-OS 21 19 536. The side walls shown there consist of two parallel vertical posts, which are connected by a ridge profile. A cantilevered part of the ridge profile spans a zone of the side wall which extends outside the base plate and which is bordered by profiles and has an oblique edge from the base plate to approximately half the side wall height.

Diese Form des Frachtbehälters ermöglicht seine Anpassung an den runden oder ovalen Querschnitt eines Flugzeugrumpfes und ist für Luftfrachtbehälter zwingend.This shape of the cargo container enables it to be adapted to the round or oval cross section of an aircraft fuselage and is mandatory for air cargo containers.

Als nachteilig hat es sich bei diesem Stande der Technik erwiesen, daß die seitliche Beladeöffnung oftmals nicht für den Ladevorgang ausreicht. Man ist deshalb gezwungen, bei größeren Stückgütern Paletten mit Netzabdeckung zu ver­verwenden.A disadvantage of this prior art has been that the lateral loading opening is often not sufficient for the loading process. One is therefore forced to use pallets with a net cover for larger piece goods.

Angesichts dieser Gegebenheiten hat sich der Erfinder das Ziel gesetzt, eine Verbesserung der Ladefähigkeit von Frachtbehältern der eingangs erwähnten Art anzubieten, dabei bei geringem Gewicht eine ausreichende Stabilität zu gewährleisten und eine einfache Montage zu ermöglichen.In view of these circumstances, the inventor has set itself the goal of offering an improvement in the loading capacity of freight containers of the type mentioned at the beginning, to ensure sufficient stability with a low weight and to enable easy assembly.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, daß an die seitliche Beladeöffnung eine Ausnehmung der Behälterdecke unmittel­bar anschließt und diese Ausnehmung von einem schwenkbaren oder verschieblichen Abschnitt der Behälterdecke verschließ­bar ist. Bevorzugt handelt es sich dabei um einen etwa in der Mittelachse der Behälterdecke angelenkten Klappdeckel aus einem Profilrahmen, von dem ein Teil in der Art eines Firstprofiles beidends an aufragenden Profilen des Tragge­rüstes endet, ohne allerdings dort festgelegt zu sein.To achieve this object, a recess of the container ceiling directly adjoins the lateral loading opening and this recess can be closed by a pivotable or displaceable section of the container ceiling. This is preferably a hinged lid hinged approximately in the central axis of the container ceiling, made of a profile frame, a part of which, in the manner of a ridge profile, ends at both ends on upstanding profiles of the supporting structure, but without being fixed there.

Von besonderer Bedeutung für die Erfindung ist die Querver­steifung des Frachtbehälters durch beidseitige Anschlußpro­file, welche sowohl beidends am Traggerüst festliegen als auch mit einer Ausformung eine Längskante der benachbarten Beplankung übergreifen sowie an deren Außenfläche festge­legt sind. Es hat sich als günstig erwiesen, dieses Anschluß­profil querschnittlich abzustufen, damit eine dieser Stufen die Oberkante der Beplankung übergreifen kann; hierdurch wird eine besondere Abdichtung der Behälterdecke völlig überflüssig.Of particular importance for the invention is the transverse stiffening of the cargo container by means of connection profiles on both sides, which are both fixed to both sides of the supporting structure and also overlap with one shape a longitudinal edge of the adjacent planking and are fixed on the outer surface thereof. It has proven to be favorable to cross-section this connecting profile so that one of these steps can overlap the top edge of the cladding; this makes a special sealing of the tank top completely unnecessary.

Frachtbehälter dieser Art haben zumindest an einer Schmal­seite einen sogenannten Containerbalkon, also einen von einer Stirnfläche abragenden Schrägteil, der beispielswei­se nach DE-PS 34 28 109 von geneigten Seitenprofilen be­grenzt wird. In einem solchen Fall vermag man die Schräg­profile mit dem Anschlußprofil an das Traggerüst zu binden, bedarf also zusätzlicher -- das Gewicht erhöhender -- Ver­steifungselemente nicht mehr. Hierzu sind die Anschlagpro­file endwärts mit Winkellaschen verbunden, die an die auf­ragenden Profile angenietet werden.Freight containers of this type have, at least on one narrow side, a so-called container balcony, that is to say an inclined part projecting from an end face, which, for example according to DE-PS 34 28 109, is delimited by inclined side profiles. In such a case, it is possible to bind the inclined profiles with the connecting profile to the supporting structure, so additional stiffening elements - which increase the weight - are no longer required. For this purpose, the stop profiles are connected at the end with angle brackets that are riveted to the upstanding profiles.

Von besonderer Bedeutung für die Dichtheit der Konstruk­tion ist eine erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung eines Paares von Rahmenprofilen, das einerseits dem Klappdeckel so­wie anderseits dem festen Dachteil zugeordnet und durch ein Scharnier verbunden ist.Of particular importance for the tightness of the construction is an embodiment of a pair of frame profiles according to the invention, which is assigned on the one hand to the hinged cover and on the other hand to the fixed roof part and is connected by a hinge.

Durch die gemäß Anspruch 9 bis 12 beschriebenen spezifische Ausbildung der Querschnitte der einander zugeordneten Rah­menprofile wird eine höchstmögliche Dichtigkeit des Daches erreicht - die erfindungsgemäß durch das Einlegen eines Dichtprofils noch zusätzlich gesichert werden könnte.The specific design of the cross sections of the frame profiles assigned to one another, as described in claims 9 to 12, achieves the highest possible tightness of the roof - which according to the invention could be additionally secured by inserting a sealing profile.

Es ergibt sich insgesamt ein einfacher und kostengünstiger Frachtbehälter mit die Aufgabe lösender erweiterter Bela­deöffnung.The overall result is a simple and inexpensive freight container with an expanded loading opening that solves the task.

Ein Frachtbehälter 10 der Höhe h von hier 1 162 mm für Luft­transporte ist über einer Bodenplatte 11 der Länge a von beispielsweise 1 562 mm und einerBreite b von 1 494 mm mit einem Traggerüst ausgestattet, welches einen -- in Fig. 1 im Bildvordergrund verlaufenden -- hinteren Seitenrahmen 12 aus einem Vertikalplrofil 13, einem in einem Winkel w von etwa 75° nach außen geneigten Schrägprofil 14 und einem Firstprofil 15 aufweist, wobei die einzelnen Teile durch Eckbleche 16 verbunden sind. Auch die gegenüberliegende Längsseite des Frachtbehälters 10 läßt ein Vertikalprofil 13 und ein Schrägprofil 14 erkennen, die beide eine -- mit einer Plane 21 verschließbare -- Seitenöffnung 20 begrenzen und durch Querprofile 18,19 mit dem entsprechenden Profil 13,14 des hinteren Seitenrahmens 12 verbunden sind.A freight container 10 of height h from here 1 162 mm for air transport is equipped with a supporting structure over a base plate 11 of length a of, for example, 1 562 mm and a width b of 1 494 mm, which has a - in Fig. 1 running in the foreground - - Has rear side frame 12 from a vertical profile 13, an inclined profile 14 inclined outward at an angle w of approximately 75 ° and a ridge profile 15, the individual parts being connected by corner plates 16. The opposite longitudinal side of the cargo container 10 also shows a vertical profile 13 and an oblique profile 14, both of which limit a side opening 20, which can be closed with a tarpaulin 21, and are connected to the corresponding profile 13, 14 of the rear side frame 12 by transverse profiles 18, 19 are.

Das Firstprofil 15 ist etwa 1 980 mm lang (Maß e) und kragt um ein Maß k von etwa 450 mm über die Bodenplatte 11 hinaus. Die Kragstirn 15a des Firstprofils 15 ist durch jenes Schrägprofil 14 mit der Bodenplatte 11 verbunden, an beide Schrägprofile 14 schließt jeweils bei der Kragstirn 15a ein vertikaler Stab 22 an, der in Abstand zur Ebene der Bo­denplatte 11 endet und mit einem geneigten Bodenstab 23 an den Bereich jener Bodenplatte 11 angeschlossen ist. Das Schrägprofil 14 bildet mit den beiden Stäben 22,23 einen dreieckförmigen Rahmen und damit die Kontur eines sogenann­ten Containerbalkons 24.The ridge profile 15 is approximately 1,980 mm long (dimension e) and protrudes by a dimension k of approximately 450 mm beyond the base plate 11. The cantilever end 15 a of the ridge profile 15 is connected to the base plate 11 by that inclined profile 14, to both inclined profiles 14 a vertical rod 22 connects to the cantilever end 15 a , which ends at a distance from the plane of the base plate 11 and with an inclined base rod 23 is connected to the area of that base plate 11. The oblique profile 14 forms with the two bars 22, 23 a triangular frame and thus the contour of a so-called container balcony 24.

Die so entstehenden seitlichen Rahmenfelder des Frachtbe­hälters 10 sind -- von der Seitenöffnung 20 abgesehen -- mit Blechtafeln 26 als Beplankung versehen, die ihrerseits an Profilstegen 17 der Profile 13,14,15,18,19 durch Nieten od. dgl. befestigt ist.The lateral frame fields of the freight container 10 thus created are - apart from the side opening 20 - provided with sheet metal panels 26 as cladding, which in turn is fastened to profile webs 17 of the profiles 13, 14, 15, 18, 19 by rivets or the like.

In Fig. 2 sind bei 28 sich kreuzende Spannstränge angedeu­tet. Im übrigen ist dort bei 24ʹ gezeigt, daß der Fracht­behälter 10 beidseits einen Containerbalkon 24,24ʹ besitzen kann.In Fig. 2 at 28 crossing strands are indicated. Moreover, it is shown at 24ʹ that the freight container 10 can have a container balcony 24, 24,2 on both sides.

Das Containerdach 30 besteht einerseits aus einer orts­festen Platte 31, die am Firstprofil 15 und den Querprofilen 18,19 festliegt und bis zur Mittelachse M reicht sowie an­derseits aus einem Klappdeckel 32, der gemäß Fig. 5 in Schwenkrichtung y um ein oder um mehrere Scharnier/e 34 geschwenkt zu werden vermag und in Öffnungsstellung einen Teil der Containerdachfläche als Dachöffnung 34 freigibt. Diese bildet mit der Seitenöffnung 20 eine gemeinsame Be­ladeöffnung 20/34.The container roof 30 consists on the one hand of a stationary plate 31 which is fixed to the ridge profile 15 and the transverse profiles 18, 19 and extends to the central axis M and on the other hand consists of a hinged cover 32 which, according to FIG. 5, swivels in the y direction by one or more hinge / e 34 can be pivoted and in the open position releases part of the container roof area as a roof opening 34. This forms a common loading opening 20/34 with the side opening 20.

Sowohl die Platte 31 als auch der Klappdeckel 32 weisen ei­nen Rahmen mit scharniernahen Rinnenprofilen 36 auf - nach vorne hin begrenzt den Klappdeckel 32 ein Hohlprofil 38, an dessen Profilsteg 17 ein Scharnierprofil 39 mit Keder­nut 40 für die Plane 21 festliegt.Both the plate 31 and the hinged cover 32 have a frame with groove profiles 36 close to the hinge - towards the front the hinged cover 32 defines a hollow profile 38, on the profile web 17 of which a hinge profile 39 with a welt groove 40 for the tarpaulin 21 is fixed.

An das Querprofil 19 schließt gemäß Fig. 4 ein Anschluß­profil 42 der Breite i von etwa 150 mm an, welches unter Bildung zweier Stufenkanten 43 so gebogen ist, daß ein An­schlagstreifen 44 die Oberkante der Beplankung 26 übergreift und an deren Außenfläche vernietet ist. Dieses Anschlußpro­fil 42 ist mit endwärtigen Winkellaschen 46 an den vertikalen Stab 22 und das Schrägprofil 14 angeschlossen - er bindet letzteres fest an.4 is followed by a connecting profile 42 of width i of approximately 150 mm, which is bent to form two step edges 43 in such a way that a stop strip 44 engages over the upper edge of the planking 26 and is riveted to its outer surface. This connecting profile 42 is connected to the vertical rod 22 and the inclined profile 14 with end-angle brackets 46 - it binds the latter firmly.

Ein schmaleres Anschlußprofil 42a (i₁ = 80 mm) berührt das Querprofil 18 und ist zur Seitenöffnung hin in Draufsicht verjüngt (Bereich 42k).A narrower connection profile 42 a (i₁ = 80 mm) touches the cross profile 18 and is tapered towards the side opening in plan view (area 42 k ).

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 7 sind die Rinnenprofile 36a, 36b der Höhe f von hier 35 mm in Abstand q zu ihrer Auflagefläche 35 von 11 mm an ihren Außenflächen 37 jeweils mit einer ausgeformten Nasenleiste 51 der Breite n von 2 mm versehen. Zudem ist an das in Fig. 7 rechte Rinnen­profil 36b eine Hakenleiste 52 angeformt, die unterhalb der Nasenleiste einen Rinneraum 54 bildet und sich an das andere Rinnenprofil 36a anschmiegt. Es entsteht so ein dich­ter Abschluß des Daches mit der Möglichkeit, am Scharnier 33 anfallendes Wasser zur Seite hin abzuleiten.In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the channel profiles 36 a , 36 b of the height f of here 35 mm at a distance q from their bearing surface 35 of 11 mm are each provided on their outer surfaces 37 with a shaped leading edge 51 of width n of 2 mm. In addition, a hook strip 52 is formed on the right-hand channel profile 36 b in FIG. 7, which forms a channel space 54 below the leading edge and conforms to the other channel profile 36 a . This creates a tight seal of the roof with the possibility of draining water accumulating on the hinge 33 to the side.
