Abstract

PCT No. PCT/CH88/00088 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 30, 1988 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 30, 1988 PCT Filed May 13, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO88/08821 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 17, 1988.The present disclosure describes a freight container for air transportation purposes having a bottom panel and arranged thereon a support frame that features sections projecting from the bottom panel and transverse sections connecting the projecting sections, and also features planking that at least partly fills-in the frame and is fitted to flanges on the sections, the sections being interconnected at nodal points in the supporting frame, at least in part, by gusset-plates, in which, the gusset-plates are flat and are secured to flanges on the sections, the flanges being in-line with a section wall, extending it outwards beyond a hollow part of the section.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Frachtbehälter für Lufttransporte mit auf einer Bodenplatte angeordnetem Traggerüst, welches von der Bodenplatte aufragende Vertikalhohlprofile und diese verbindende Horizontalprofile aufweist, sowie mit einer das Traggerüst wenigsten teilweise ausfachenden und an Stegen der Vertikalhohlprofile angebrachten Beplankung, wobei vertikale Hohlprofile der Frachtbehälters mit beidseits einer Profilwand fluchtenden Stegen und die Hohlprofile an Knotenstellen zumindest teilweise durch ebene Knotenblechen verbunden sind.The invention relates to a cargo container for air transportation with a support frame arranged on a base plate, which has vertical hollow profiles projecting from the base plate and connecting horizontal profiles, as well as with a paneling that at least partially fills out and is attached to webs of the vertical hollow profiles, vertical hollow profiles of the cargo container having on both sides of a Profile wall aligned webs and the hollow profiles at node points are at least partially connected by flat gusset plates.

Ein solcher Frachtbehälter ist aus der FR-A-2 256 078 bekannt, die sich insbesondere mit der Tür-Ausbildung und mit Luftklappen befaßt, dank deren das Innere des Frachtbehälters ohne ein Öffnen der Tür befüllt zu werden vermag. An der Tür dieses Frachtbehälters verläuft ein Vertikalprofil mit Stegen, an denen eine geriffelte seitliche Beplankung mittels Nieten angebracht ist. Die Stege fluchten mit einer Profilwand des Pfostens und verlängern dieses über hohlprofilartigen Abschnitt hinaus. Auch sind hier ebene Knotenbleche zu erkennen. Außerdem ist dort zwischen dem Firstprofil und einem Vertikalpfosten ein Knotenblech zur Versteifung angenietet, wobei der Vertikalpfosten offenbar L-förmig und das Firstprofil ein Nutprofil mit einseitig abstehendem Steg ist. Dieses Knotenblech hat offenbar rückwartige Versteifungsrippen.Such a cargo container is known from FR-A-2 256 078, which deals in particular with the door design and with air flaps, thanks to which the interior of the cargo container can be filled without opening the door. A vertical profile with webs runs on the door of this freight container, on which a corrugated side paneling is attached by means of rivets. The webs are aligned with a profile wall of the post and extend this beyond the hollow profile-like section. Flat gusset plates can also be seen here. In addition, a gusset plate is riveted between the ridge profile and a vertical post for reinforcement, the vertical post apparently being L-shaped and the ridge profile being a groove profile with a web projecting on one side. This gusset plate apparently has back-like stiffening ribs.

Als nachteilig hat es sich bei diesem Stande der Technik erwiesen, daß die unterschiedlich ausgestalteten Profile an den Knotenstellen nur mit großem Aufwand und unter anpassender Verformung der Knotenbleche aneinander festzulegen sind.It has proven to be disadvantageous in this prior art that the differently designed profiles can only be fixed to one another with great effort and with an appropriate deformation of the gusset plates.

Angesicht dieser Gegebenheiten hat sich der Erfinder das Ziel gesetzt, den Zusammenbau von Frachtbehältern der genannten Art zu vereinfachen.In view of these circumstances, the inventor has set himself the goal of simplifying the assembly of freight containers of the type mentioned.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, daß als Eckprofile dienende Hohlprofile einen mit einen Profilseitenwand fluchtenden Steg sowie einen dazu rechtwinkligen und etwa mittig von dieser Profilseitenwand abragenden Steg aufweisen.The solution to this problem is that the hollow profiles serving as corner profiles have a web aligned with a profile side wall and a web perpendicular to it and projecting approximately centrally from this profile side wall.

Aus dem Stande der Technik an sich Hohlprofile mit Stegen bekannt, die eine Profilwand über einen hohlprofilartigen Abschnitt hinaus verlängern und mit einer Profilwand fluchten. Der Einsatz solcher Hohlprofile zusammen mit eben Knotenblechen nach der Erfindung ergibt zum Herstellen des gesamten Traggerüstes eines Frachtbehälters für Lufttransporte einen besonders einfachen und doch äußerst stabilen Aufbau.Hollow profiles with webs are known per se from the prior art, which extend a profile wall beyond a hollow profile-like section and are aligned with a profile wall. The use of such hollow profiles together with even gusset plates according to the invention results in a particularly simple, yet extremely stable structure for producing the entire supporting structure of a freight container for air transportation.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Hohlprofile führt dazu, daß auch beim Zusammenflüchen von Profilen in einem Winkel oberhalb oder unterhalb von 90° keine Verformungen der Knotenbleche mehr erforderlich sind. Dies ermöglichen die Verlängerungsstege der einen Profilwand. Für dieses Merkmal der durch Stege einseitig oder beidseits verlängerten Profilwand wird für den Einsatz bei Lufttransportbehältern ein besonderer Schutz begehrt, da diese Ausbildung im Containerbau unüblich ist. Die Verlegung der Stege in die Ebene einer Seitenwand führt zu einer außerordnetlichen Verbesserung der Gesamtkonstruktion des Frachtbehälters.The inventive design of the hollow profiles means that even when profiles are cursed at an angle above or below 90 °, no more deformation of the gusset plates is required. This is made possible by the extension bars of one profile wall. Special protection is required for this feature of the profile wall, which is extended on one side or on both sides by webs, for use in air transport containers, since this training is unusual in container construction. The laying of the webs in the level of a side wall leads to an extraordinary improvement in the overall construction of the freight container.

Ein Frachtbehälter 9 für Luftransporte ist über einer -- mit Laschenleisten 10 versehenen -- Bodenplatte 11 mit einem Traggerüst ausgestattet, welches zwei Seitenrahmen aus jeweils zwei Vertikalprofilen 12, 13 einem Firstprofil 14 bzw. 15, einem davon nach unten ragenden kurzen Rahmenprofil 14, 16 und einem in einem Winkel w geneigten Schrägprofil 18 besteht. Die beiden Seitenrahmen sind durch Querprofile 20 verbunden und nehmen Blechtafeln 22 als Ausfachungen auf.A freight container 9 for air transportation is equipped with a supporting frame over a base plate 11 provided with tab strips 10, which has two side frames each made up of two vertical profiles 12, 13, a ridge profile 14 and 15, and a short frame profile 14, 16 projecting downward therefrom and an inclined profile 18 inclined at an angle w. The two side frames are connected by transverse profiles 20 and take up sheet metal panels 22 as infills.

Die Profile 12 bis 16, 18 sind miteinander sowie mit den Laschenleisten 10 der Bodenplatte 11 durch ebene Knotenbleche 30 verbunden. Um eine Verformung der Knotenbleche 30 zu vermeiden sind gemäß Fig. 5, 6, 7 die Vertikalprofile 13, 12 sowie die Firstprofile 15 von besonderer Ausbildung; sie bestehen aus einem rechteckigen Hohlprofil mit Seitenwänden 28, 29 der Außenlänge a von beispielsweise 35 mm und einer Dicke b von 1,4 mm. Die Seitenwand 29 ist in Fig. 5 beidseits über das Hohlprofil hinaus durch Stege 27 verlängert (Kraglänge e = 23 mm) zu einer Gesamtlänge i von 81 mm. Im Beispiel der Fig. 6, 7 besteht nur eine einseitige Verlängerung durch einen Steg 27 (Gesamtlänge i der Wand 29 bis 27 hier: 58 mm).The profiles 12 to 16, 18 are connected to one another and to the tab strips 10 of the base plate 11 by flat gusset plates 30. To avoid deformation of the gusset plates 30, the vertical profiles 13, 12 and the ridge profiles 15 are of special design according to FIGS. 5, 6, 7; they consist of a rectangular hollow profile with side walls 28, 29 of external length a of, for example, 35 mm and a thickness b of 1.4 mm. The side wall 29 in FIG. 5 is extended on both sides beyond the hollow profile by webs 27 (cantilever length e = 23 mm) to a total length i of 81 mm. In the example of FIGS. 6, 7 there is only a one-sided extension through a web 27 (total length i of the wall 29 to 27 here: 58 mm).
