Description
La presente invención se refiere a un recipiente para almacenamiento y/o transporte de alimentos, preferiblemente pescado o carne, que comprende paredes laterales verticales conectadas entre sí en bordes verticales. The present invention relates to a container for storage and / or transport of food, preferably fish or meat, comprising vertical side walls connected to each other at vertical edges.
Con el fin de aprovechar el espacio de almacenamiento de forma eficiente, se disponen múltiples recipientes en una o varias pilas y se unen en un palé. Debido al peso de los artículos que se colocan en los recipientes, los recipientes están sometidos a fuerzas verticales bastante grandes. Con el fin de evitar que los recipientes se deformen o incluso se destruyan al unirse en un palé, cada recipiente comprende elementos de refuerzo para absorber al menos una parte de las fuerzas verticales. In order to take advantage of the storage space efficiently, multiple containers are arranged in one or several batteries and joined in a pallet. Due to the weight of the items that are placed in the containers, the containers are subjected to quite large vertical forces. In order to prevent the containers from becoming deformed or even destroyed by joining in a pallet, each container comprises reinforcing elements to absorb at least a part of the vertical forces.
Este problema es crítico en vista del hecho de que el material de plástico espumado, del que están hechos los recipientes, solo puede resistir cargas bastante limitadas sin dañarse. This problem is critical in view of the fact that the foamed plastic material, of which the containers are made, can only withstand quite limited loads without being damaged.
De este modo, solo puede aplicarse una carga relativamente pequeña al material espumado del recipiente. In this way, only a relatively small load can be applied to the foamed material of the container.
La solicitud de patente DE 199 32 068 A1 divulga un recipiente de espuma sólida para almacenamiento y transporte que comprende elementos de refuerzo hechos de plástico. Sin embargo, la fabricación de este recipiente de espuma sólida es compleja porque se requieren medios de retención especiales para fijar los elementos de refuerzo mientras se moldea el recipiente de espuma sólida. Patent application DE 199 32 068 A1 discloses a solid foam container for storage and transport comprising reinforcing elements made of plastic. However, the manufacture of this solid foam container is complex because special retention means are required to fix the reinforcing elements while the solid foam container is molded.
El objeto de la presente invención es proporcionar un recipiente de espuma sólida que no presente estas desventajas y que pueda disponerse fácilmente en pilas sobre palés y que pueda fabricarse igualmente de forma fácil y rentable. The object of the present invention is to provide a solid foam container that does not have these disadvantages and which can be easily disposed in piles on pallets and which can also be manufactured easily and cost-effectively.
De acuerdo con la presente invención, este objeto se logra mediante un recipiente del tipo anteriormente mencionado, en el que la caja se proporciona al menos en uno de sus bordes verticales con un orificio vertical en el que se inserta una vara de manera. In accordance with the present invention, this object is achieved by means of a container of the aforementioned type, in which the box is provided at least on one of its vertical edges with a vertical hole in which a way rod is inserted.
De acuerdo con la presente invención, la caja del recipiente puede producirse independientemente de la vara de madera, es decir, sin medios de retención especiales. In accordance with the present invention, the container box can be produced independently of the wooden rod, that is, without special retention means.
Además, la caja y la vara de madera pueden ser enviadas a un usuario por separado. El usuario puede insertar la vara de madera en el orificio de la caja in situ, es decir, en los lugares donde se usa antes de llenar el recipiente con artículos, como pescado, carne u otros tipos de alimentos, y combinar múltiples recipientes en un palé. En caso de que solo se construyan pequeños palés o no se construya ninguno en absoluto, la vara de madera puede no ser necesaria en algunos casos. Entonces, el usuario puede omitir la inserción de la vara o varas de madera. Por consiguiente, la presente invención proporciona un recipiente de espuma sólida que puede fabricarse de forma fácil y rentable y puede reforzarse mediante la vara de madera in situ, si es necesario. In addition, the wooden box and wand can be sent to a user separately. The user can insert the wooden rod into the hole of the box in situ, that is, in the places where it is used before filling the container with items, such as fish, meat or other types of food, and combine multiple containers in one pallet In case only small pallets are built or none are built at all, the wooden rod may not be necessary in some cases. Then, the user can skip the insertion of the wooden stick. Accordingly, the present invention provides a solid foam container that can be manufactured easily and cost-effectively and can be reinforced by the wooden rod in situ, if necessary.
De acuerdo con una realización preferente de la presente invención, se sugiere que el orificio vertical se extienda completamente desde un lateral superior de la caja a un lateral inferior de la caja. De este modo, el orificio tiene dos aberturas en los extremos opuestos del borde vertical. La vara de madera y el orificio pueden ser cilíndricos. Cuando se disponen múltiples recipientes en una pila vertical, las varas de madera que se extienden verticalmente están posicionadas de manera directamente adyacente entre sí. Por consiguiente, la carga colocada en la caja se reduce y los palés pueden construirse sin dañar los recipientes. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is suggested that the vertical hole extend completely from an upper side of the box to a lower side of the box. In this way, the hole has two openings at opposite ends of the vertical edge. The wooden rod and the hole can be cylindrical. When multiple containers are arranged in a vertical stack, the vertically extending wooden rods are positioned directly adjacent to each other. Consequently, the load placed in the box is reduced and the pallets can be constructed without damaging the containers.
La caja consiste preferentemente de poliestireno expandido (EPS) o polipropileno expandido. The case preferably consists of expanded polystyrene (EPS) or expanded polypropylene.
En la figura se muestra una realización preferente y ventajas adicionales de la presente invención, y se describen más adelante en detalle. A preferred embodiment and additional advantages of the present invention are shown in the figure, and are described in detail below.
La única figura muestra una vista en perspectiva de un recipiente 11 para el almacenamiento y transporte de acuerdo con la presente invención. El recipiente 11 comprende una caja 13 cuya forma se corresponde esencialmente con una bandeja cuboidal. La caja 13 está fabricada en poliestireno expandido (EPS). The only figure shows a perspective view of a container 11 for storage and transport in accordance with the present invention. The container 11 comprises a box 13 whose shape essentially corresponds to a cuboidal tray. The box 13 is made of expanded polystyrene (EPS).
La caja 13 comprende una placa base 15. En una vista superior, la placa base 15 es rectangular. Las esquinas 17 de la placa base 15 son redondeadas. La caja 13 del contenedor 11 tiene cuatro paredes laterales 19 extendiéndose cada una de ellas desde un borde horizontal 21 de la placa base 15 y orientada de forma ortogonal con respecto a la placa base The box 13 comprises a base plate 15. In a top view, the base plate 15 is rectangular. The corners 17 of the base plate 15 are rounded. The box 13 of the container 11 has four side walls 19 each extending from a horizontal edge 21 of the base plate 15 and oriented orthogonally with respect to the base plate
15. Cada par de paredes laterales adyacentes 19 está conectado por un borde vertical 23. Todas las partes de la caja 13 del contenedor 11, esto es, la placa base 15, las paredes laterales 19 y los bordes verticales 23 están construidos en una pieza de espuma sólida. 15. Each pair of adjacent side walls 19 is connected by a vertical edge 23. All parts of the container 13 of the container 11, that is, the base plate 15, the side walls 19 and the vertical edges 23 are constructed in one piece of solid foam.
Cada borde vertical 23 comprende un orificio cilíndrico 25 que se extiende verticalmente y por lo tanto, está orientado de forma ortogonal con respecto a la placa base 15 de la caja 13 y se desplaza en paralelo con las paredes laterales 19. El orificio 25 de desplaza a través de todo el borde vertical 23, esto es, el orificio 25 se extiende desde un lateral superior 26 de la caja 13 a un lateral inferior 28 de la caja 13. De este modo, el orificio 25 está delimitado por dos aberturas circulares opuestas 27 de cada borde vertical 23. Con finalidad ilustrativa, se posiciona una vara de madera 29 en solo un orificio 25. Sin embargo, el recipiente de acuerdo con la realización preferente comprende cuatro varas de madera 29 posicionadas en cada uno de los cuatro orificios 25 de los cuatro bordes verticales 23. En la realización mostrada, la vara de madera 29 es cilíndrica. Siendo la forma del orificio 25 también cilíndrica, la forma de la vara de madera 29 está adaptada a la forma del orificio 25. Each vertical edge 23 comprises a cylindrical orifice 25 that extends vertically and therefore, is oriented orthogonally with respect to the base plate 15 of the box 13 and moves in parallel with the side walls 19. The orifice 25 displaces across the entire vertical edge 23, that is, the hole 25 extends from an upper side 26 of the box 13 to a lower side 28 of the box 13. Thus, the hole 25 is delimited by two opposite circular openings 27 of each vertical edge 23. For illustrative purposes, a wooden rod 29 is positioned in only one hole 25. However, the container according to the preferred embodiment comprises four wooden rods 29 positioned in each of the four holes 25 of the four vertical edges 23. In the embodiment shown, the wooden rod 29 is cylindrical. Being the shape of the hole 25 also cylindrical, the shape of the wooden rod 29 is adapted to the shape of the hole 25.
El diámetro de la vara de madera 29 está adaptado al diámetro del orificio 25. Como consecuencia, una superficie exterior de la vara de madera 29 entra en contacto con una superficie interior del orificio 25. Debido a la relativamente alta aspereza de la superficie de la vara de madera 29, existe una fricción estática bastante alta entre la vara de madera 29 y el orificio 25 que evita que la vara de madera 20 se retire accidentalmente del orificio 25. The diameter of the wooden rod 29 is adapted to the diameter of the hole 25. As a consequence, an outer surface of the wooden rod 29 comes into contact with an inner surface of the hole 25. Due to the relatively high roughness of the surface of the wooden rod 29, there is a fairly high static friction between the wooden rod 29 and the hole 25 which prevents the wooden rod 20 from accidentally withdrawing from the hole 25.
En la realización mostrada, la longitud de la vara de madera 29 se corresponde con una altura h del borde vertical 23, esto es, la altura de la caja 13. La vara de madera 29 puede insertarse en el orificio 25 de modo que esté desviada verticalmente con respecto al orificio 25, proyectándose una parte de la vara de madera 29 verticalmente fuera de uno de los laterales 26, 28 de la caja 13. Cuando se apilan múltiples recipientes 11, la parte de la vara de madera 20 de un determinado recipiente 11 se insertará en el orificio 25 de otro recipiente 11 evitando que los recipientes apilados 11 se desplacen lateralmente entre sí. In the embodiment shown, the length of the wooden rod 29 corresponds to a height h of the vertical edge 23, that is, the height of the box 13. The wooden rod 29 can be inserted into the hole 25 so that it is offset vertically with respect to the hole 25, a part of the wooden wand 29 projecting vertically out of one of the sides 26, 28 of the box 13. When multiple containers 11 are stacked, the part of the wooden wand 20 of a given container 11 will be inserted into the hole 25 of another container 11 preventing stacked containers 11 from moving laterally with each other.
Como se ha descrito anteriormente, la caja 13 y la vara de madera 20 del recipiente 11 son partes separadas que se mantienen unidas por fricción estática. Por lo tanto, la caja 13 y la vara de madera 29 pueden fabricarse en etapas de producción separadas. Como alternativa, la vara de madera 29 y la caja 13 pueden unirse en una etapa de producción adicional separada de la producción de la caja 13 y la vara de madera 29. As described above, the box 13 and the wooden rod 20 of the container 11 are separate parts that are held together by static friction. Therefore, the box 13 and the wooden rod 29 can be manufactured in separate production stages. Alternatively, the wooden rod 29 and the box 13 can be joined in an additional production stage separate from the production of the box 13 and the wooden rod 29.
La vara de madera 29 sirve para absorber fuerzas verticales que suelen producirse cuando los recipientes están dispuestos en una pila vertical. De este modo, la caja de espuma sólida 13 está sometida a una carga vertical considerablemente pequeña. The wooden rod 29 serves to absorb vertical forces that usually occur when the containers are arranged in a vertical stack. In this way, the solid foam box 13 is subjected to a considerably small vertical load.
En la realización mostrada, el ancho w del recipiente 11 es 300 mm -700 mm, preferentemente w = 500 mm, la profundidad del recipiente 11 es 200 mm -400 mm, preferentemente d = 300 mm, y la altura h es de 100 mm – 200 mm, preferentemente h = 150 mm. El diámetro de la vara de madera 29 es de aproximadamente 9 mm y el diámetro del orificio 25 es de aproximadamente 10 mm. El grosor de las paredes laterales 29 y la placa base 15 es de aproximadamente 18 mm. Sin embargo, la presente invención también puede aplicarse en combinación con recipientes 11 que tengan dimensiones diferentes o incluso una forma diferente. Además, en diferentes realizaciones, la forma del orificio 25 y la vara de madera 29 difiere de la forma cilíndrica aplicada en la realización mostrada. Asimismo, el número de orificios 25 o varas de madera 29 puede variarse de acuerdo con varios requisitos como la forma y las dimensiones del recipiente 11. In the embodiment shown, the width w of the container 11 is 300 mm -700 mm, preferably w = 500 mm, the depth of the container 11 is 200 mm -400 mm, preferably d = 300 mm, and the height h is 100 mm - 200 mm, preferably h = 150 mm. The diameter of the wooden rod 29 is approximately 9 mm and the diameter of the hole 25 is approximately 10 mm. The thickness of the side walls 29 and the base plate 15 is approximately 18 mm. However, the present invention can also be applied in combination with containers 11 having different dimensions or even a different shape. In addition, in different embodiments, the shape of the hole 25 and the wooden rod 29 differs from the cylindrical shape applied in the embodiment shown. Also, the number of holes 25 or wooden rods 29 can be varied according to various requirements such as the shape and dimensions of the container 11.
