Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport and storage container made of plastic, in particular a stackable and foldable storage order box.
  • the WO 9749613 a box-shaped container made of plastic, which has hinged side walls.
  • the DE 42 44 359 C2 discloses a device for the automatic filling of flat collapsible, cuboid transport boxes.
  • the DE 42 29 586 A1 disclosed a plastic transport box.
  • Another box-shaped container with hinged side walls is from the DE 44 46 322 A1 known.
  • the invention is the object of the invention to provide an improved transport and storage container.
  • a transport and storage container made of plastic wherein the container has a bottom, two opposing side parts and two opposing front parts, wherein the side parts and the front parts with hinges are hinged to the container center hinged to the ground.
  • the side panels and the front parts are locked together in the erected state to form a mechanically stable overall composite.
  • the transport and storage container according to the invention has the advantage that a collapse of an unfolded transport and storage container is possible in a simple manner. This is particularly important in automated storage facilities of great relevance.
  • it is possible to initiate the collapsing process by a simple horizontal force from the outside, for example, on the front and side of the container on the corresponding unlocking. Elaborate additional tensile or compressive movements on this front are not necessary. For example, it is not necessary to intervene robotically in the interior of the unfolded transport and storage container in order to carry out the folding process from there by means of a pulling or pushing movement.
  • the force which acts on the unlocking element for unlocking the releasable latching connection thereby also serves to initiate the Caribbeanklappvorgangs, that is, the flap of the corresponding front surface to the hinge device on the ground.
  • the latching element has a latching projection for engagement in a counterpart recess of the front part.
  • the latching projection is a snap hook
  • the snap hook is formed for engaging behind a portion of the recess in the locked state of the front part and the side part.
  • the latching projection has a first inclined surface, wherein the first inclined surface is formed at the end of the latching projection and wherein the first inclined surface is inclined towards the container center.
  • the use of such a kind latching projection with a first inclined surface has the advantage that when assembling side part and corresponding front part of the locking projection is threaded self-finding in the counterpart recess of the front part.
  • the locking projection on a second inclined surface wherein the second inclined surface is formed at the end of the latching projection, wherein the second inclined surface is weg suspended from the center of the container.
  • an additional such second inclined surface has the advantage that directed by a force, parallel to the corresponding side part and towards the center of the container, a resultant force acts perpendicular to the side part, making it possible a corresponding unlocking element, by such a force parallel to the side part and in the direction of the center of the container to initiate an unlocking process. Due to the resulting force perpendicular to the side part of the locking projection is driven from the counterpart recess of the front part, whereby a release of Fronteil and side part is possible.
  • the unlocking element has an elastically resilient actuating element for receiving the force, wherein the actuating element has an actuating surface arranged in the plane of the front surface, wherein the actuating element has an edge projecting in the direction of the container center into the plane of the front surface. I'm upright Condition of the front parts and the side parts while the edge overlaps the locking projection at least partially, and also the edge is inclined to the actuating surface.
  • the unlocking element of this type likewise has the advantage, like the latching element described above, that such an unlocking element can likewise be produced integrally in a simple and cost-effective manner, preferably together with the corresponding front part, in an injection molding process.
  • Another advantage is that due to the simple mechanical design is given a high durability.
  • no great attention must be paid to manufacturing tolerances, since it is only crucial that the edge partially overlaps the Council nose. The reason for this is that the oblique edge is pressed onto the latching lug by the action of force on the actuating surface, wherein due to the edge beveling, a resultant force acts on the latching lug in the direction of the corresponding side part.
  • the locking lug is in turn driven out of the corresponding recess of the front part, so that thereupon a unlocking and thus a release of front part and side part for folding the same takes place.
  • the edge is formed by a projection of the actuating element, wherein the projection cross-section tapers in the direction of the container center.
  • the taper of the projection cross-section has the advantage that in an optimal manner forces acting on the actuating surface forces are distributed to the projection of the actuating element.
  • the taper of the projection cross section is adapted in an optimal manner to the voltage profile in the projection cross section.
  • the actuating element is formed by an operating lever arranged in the plane of the front surface, the edge projecting into the plane of the front surface being formed at the end of the lever.
  • the actuating lever and the edge form an L-shape.
  • the operating lever may have a wedge shape, wherein the edge is formed by one of the wedge surfaces of the wedge shape.
  • the container in the erected and / or collapsed state of the side parts and the front parts is stackable.
  • the front parts 104 and the side parts 102 are connected at the bottom with also not apparent hinges, so that the side and front parts to the container center 106 can be folded towards.
  • FIG. 1 Important in the FIG. 1 is now that further locking elements 110 are provided on the side parts 102.
  • the locking elements are used to form a releasable locking connection with the front parts 104.
  • the front parts 104 release elements 108, wherein an unlocking operation can be initiated by pressing the unlocking.
  • an unlocking process takes place by a force acting on the unlocking element 108 in the direction of the container center. The force also takes place on the side facing away from the container center side of the front part 104th
  • FIG. 2 shows an enlarged schematic view of the container 100. Again, the front parts 104 and a side part 102 are shown. On the side part 102, the locking element 110 is arranged and on the front parts 104, the unlocking elements 108 are arranged.
  • the unlocking elements 108 of a lever 202 and a projection 204 extends substantially parallel and in the plane of the front surface 104, whereas the projection 204 in the plane of the front surface in the direction of Container center protrudes.
  • the actuation of the unlocking element 108 for example, as in the FIG. 2 shown by a force in the direction of 200, that is, by a force in the direction of the center of the container.
  • a force in the direction of 200 that is, by a force in the direction of the center of the container.
  • Characterized the viewer facing the front part 104 and the right side part 102 is unlocked from each other, since the projection 204 is pressed by the action of the actuating lever 202 in the direction of the container center, whereby a resultant force on the locking element 110 in the direction of the side part 102, that is to the right, works.
  • the detent connection formed by the latching element is released.
  • it is possible with a pivoting movement 206 to fold away the front front part in the direction of the container center.
  • the folding process takes place independently due to the force acting in any case on the unlocking element 108 in the direction 200, that is towards the center of the container.
  • FIG. 3 shows the container 100 in the unlocked state of the viewer facing the front part 104.
  • the locking element 110 which is released due to the folding movement of the front part 104 in the direction 206, that is towards the center of the container.
  • the axis 300 which by means of in the FIG. 3 not apparent hinges a folding operation of the front part 104 relative to the bottom 302 takes place.
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a section of a transport and storage container.
  • the front part 104 and the side part 102 are initially visible.
  • the unlocking element 108 which, as already described with regard to FIG. 2 explained, consists of a lever 202 and a projection 204.
  • the locking element 110 consists of a locking lever 400 and a locking projection 402, wherein the locking projection is arranged towards the container center 106 at the end of the locking lever and thereby projects into the plane of the side surface 102 ,
  • Both the lever 202 and the locking lever 400 are elastically resilient.
  • the latching projection 402 engages with a further latching lug, which is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the plane below or above the latching projection 402 on the latching projection in a counterpart recess of the front part 104 a.
  • the latching projection 402 has an actuating surface 202 facing the inclined surface 403.
  • the edge of the projection 204 is inclined towards the lever 202 and thereby at least partially overlaps the locking projection 402.
  • This has the purpose that in the event of a force on the lever 200 in the direction 202, that is substantially perpendicular to the front side 104, said edge of Projection 204 is pressed against the locking projection 402.
  • the force acts on the inclined surface 403 of the locking projection 402.
  • the elastic locking element or the locking lever 400 together with the locking projection 402 in the direction 404, that is, swung away to the right of the container center 106.
  • the latching connection between the side part 102 and the front part 104 is released, so that then in the direction 202, the front surface in the direction of the container center 106 can be folded.
  • the fact that the locking projection 402 has the inclined surface 403, on which the force is exerted, is also in sudden large forces -. ensured by a blow to the actuating element 108 - a pivoting of the locking projection 402 in the direction 404. With a smooth surface in place of the sloping surface 403, a large, sudden force could result in material breakage because the detent projection 402 may not be pivoted so fast toward 404 and thus either break itself or cause breakage of the actuator.
  • FIG. 5 shows schematically an unlocking process by such a corresponding force.
  • the locked state of an unrecognizable front and side part is shown.
  • a force then acts in the direction 200 on the lever 202, the lever is moved, for example, about an axis 500 in the direction 200.
  • the projection 204 or its edge 506 is pressed onto the latching projection 402 of the latching element 110.
  • a resultant force acts on the latching projection 402 in the direction 504.
  • This resulting force in the direction 504 leads to a pivoting movement in the direction 404, the result of which in FIG FIG. 5B is shown.
  • FIG. 5b corresponding fictitious front and side parts are unlocked, since the unlocking element 108 has been moved in the direction 200 and thereby the locking element 110 has been pressed in the direction 404.
  • the transition from FIG. 5a to FIG. 5b is reversible, since it is in the unlocking element 108 and the locking element 110 are elastic configurations, typically instead of a rotation of the lever 202 about the axis 500 and a rotation of the locking lever 400 about a fictitious axis 502, a bending operation of the operating lever 202 and the locking lever 400 will take place.
  • FIG. 6 shows various embodiments of locking and operating levers.
  • a combination of an actuating element with a latching element is shown, wherein the actuating element in the form of a wedge 600 is configured.
  • One of the wedge surfaces forms that edge 506, which serves by movement of the wedge in the direction 200 for the action of force on the latching projection 402.
  • edge 506 which serves by movement of the wedge in the direction 200 for the action of force on the latching projection 402.
  • FIG. 6b a further alternative embodiment of a locking element is shown.
  • the locking element in the FIG. 6 has a latch lever 400 and a snap hook 602.
  • the snap hook is provided for engaging behind a portion of the recess in the locked state of a front part, not shown here, and a side part assigned to the detent lever.
  • the beveled surface of the snap-action hook 602 makes it possible in a simple manner for the snap-in hook to be able to slide into the recess of the front part during the locking process in a self-finding manner.
  • FIG. 6 shows a further alternative embodiment of a locking element, consisting of the locking lever 400, the locking projection 402 and a trapezoidal latching lug 606.
  • the latching lug 606 is formed at the end of the latching projection 402.
  • the trapezoidal detent 606 has a first inclined surface 604 and a second inclined surface 608.
  • the first inclined surface 604 which is inclined in the direction of the container center 106, again comes to the purpose of a self-determination of the locking element in a locking operation of a corresponding container, as already with respect to FIG. 6b described.
  • FIG. 7 an alternative embodiment can be seen in which, instead of an actuating lever, a resilient actuating element 702 is used in such a way that this resilient actuating element 702 is fastened by means of springs 704 on the front surface 104.
  • the actuating element 702 has an actuating surface 706, wherein upon an action of force in the direction 200 on the actuating surface 706, the actuating element 702 in the direction 200, that is, in the direction of the container center, is pressed.
  • the locking element 110 consisting of the locking lever 400 and the locking projection 402.
  • the locking projection 402 engages in a corresponding recess 700 of the front surface 104 a.
  • a latching lug 708 which protrudes perpendicularly from the locking lever 400 and which has a bevelled surface at its end.
  • the detent 708 engages in the Figure 7a in a counterpart recess of the front surface 104, which results in that a movement of the front surface 104 in the direction 200 is prevented - the front surface is in the in Figure 7a fixed position shown.
  • the actuator 702 is moved in the direction 200, the detent lever together with the detent 708 is moved in the direction 404 - the detent 708 is driven out of said counterpart recess.
  • the front surface is no longer held by the latching lug 708 and a movement of the front surface in the direction 200 can take place.
  • a pivot point 502 which takes place about a pivoting movement of the locking element 110 in the direction 404
  • a bending operation of the locking element takes place, in particular a bending operation of the locking lever 400 in the direction 404.
  • FIG. 8 shows an embodiment of the locking lever 400. It is tapered towards the actuating lever 202. This is advantageous since a uniform distribution of stress is achieved and thus material fatigue is reduced.
  • a force acting on the detent lever 400 by the actuating lever 202 would result in greater stresses in the area further away from the actuating lever 202 than in the front area. Due to the increase in area of the detent lever 400 in this area, the voltages occurring are reduced. Due to the uniform increase in area over the entire region of the locking lever 400 thus a uniform stress distribution is achieved, whereby the material fatigue is reduced.
  • FIG. 9 is an enlarged detail of the tapered locking lever 400th
  • FIG. 10 is a schematic view of a container corner with latched front 104 and side panels 102nd Fig. 10a schematically shows the locking of the front 104 and side parts 102 by means of the locking projection 402 of the side part 102 with the inclined surface 403 and the projection 402 of the front part 104.
  • the front and side parts define the container interior 106th
  • Fig. 10b is a schematic view of a container corner with front and side parts as in Fig. 10a , The difference is that a force acts on the front part 104 in direction 200. It is therefore not exercised as in other figures, a force on the actuator, but to a different location of the front part 104. It is irrelevant whether this force acts selectively at a position of the front part 104, or whether it is a force on a partial surface or even the entire surface of the front part 104 is.
  • the force in the direction 200 bends the front part 104. Since it is locked with the side part 102, the front part 104 bends in the middle more to the container interior 106 than at the edge in the vicinity of the side part 102. At a certain degree of bending, the projection 204 due the inclined surface 403 is no longer held by the locking projection 402 of the side part 102 and the front part 104 is the force direction 200 and tilts to the container interior 106. Due to the inclined surface 403, the tilting movement occurs to the container interior 106 rather than in the case of a straight surface. Thereby, damage to the front part 104, the projection 204 and the locking projection 402 can be prevented.
  • the front part 104 is at a force in the direction 200 from a certain amount of force and folds to the container interior 106. This damage or even destruction of the container is prevented.
  • the determined amount of force, from which the front part 104 works in the direction 200 can be determined by the bevel 403 of the locking projection 402. The steeper the slope 403 runs, the easier the front part 104 gives way to a force in the direction 200.
  • the determined force is adjusted so that the front part 104 and the locking device consisting of latching projection 402 and projection 204 no Damage can occur if a force in the direction 200 acts on the front part 104.
