BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to a transport frame for metal anodes, which is intended for the transport of metal anodes of the type that are essentially sheet-shaped and have at one end a first projection and a second projection, the first projection extending from the first side of the metal anode and the second projection extending from the opposite side of the metal anode, and the transport frame comprises a frame on which the metal anodes are suspendable in such a manner that the metal anodes at least partly hang by the first projection and the second projection on the frame.
[0002] For instance Outokumpu manufactures metal anodes of this kind. The metal in the metal anodes manufactured by Outokumpu is copper or a copper alloy.
[0003] From the metal works, the metal anodes are usually transported elsewhere for using the metal in the metal anodes for different purposes.
[0004] An arrangement is previously known, in which finished metal anodes are loaded to a frame at the metal works to wait for transportation. For transportation, the metal anodes are moved from said frame to a railway carriage or truck, for instance. For railway or road transport, the metal anodes need to be packaged and fastened in some manner. If the metal anodes are transported to the harbour for sea transport, the metal anodes usually need to be unloaded from a railway carriage or truck before they can be loaded on-board a ship. For sea transport, too, the metal anodes need to be packaged and fastened to the cargo hold of a ship.
[0005] A problem with the conventional arrangement is that the metal anodes need to be repackaged several times in a manner suited for each transport method during transport from the metal works to the location where the metal of the metal anode is used.
[0006] An arrangement is also known, in which the metal anodes are at the metal works moved from said frame to a contained for transportation. A problem with this known arrangement is that the metal anodes need to be somehow fastened to the container so that they will not move inside it during transport. Timber or another corresponding packing material is used for the fastening by placing it between the inner walls of the container and the metal anodes. Fastening the metal anodes to the container is therefore difficult and takes time.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0007] It is thus an object of the present invention to develop a transport frame for metal anodes that solves the above-mentioned problems.
[0008] The object of the invention is achieved by a transport frame for metal anodes, which is characterized by the transport frame comprising a transport pallet equipped with container sockets.
[0010] The invention is based on the idea that the frame to which the metal anodes are loaded at the metal works after manufacturing to wait for transportation also serves as the transport means for the metal anodes. The metal anodes can be transported in the transport frame of the invention from the metal works to the location where the metal of the metal anodes is used. The metal anodes need, therefore, not be repackaged during transportation. Because the transport frame comprises a transport pallet equipped with container sockets, the transport frame of the invention is suited for railway, road and sea transportation.
[0011] The transport frame for metal anodes of the invention provides the advantage over the arrangement in which the metal anodes are transported in a conventional container that timber or a corresponding packing material is not needed for fastening the metal anodes for transportation. This is due to the fact that the transport frame comprises a frame that keeps the metal anodes in place during transportation.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
[0012] The invention will now be described in greater detail by means of preferred embodiments and with reference to the attached drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a side view of a transport frame for metal anodes,
Figure 2 is a top view of a transport frame for metal anodes,
Figure 3 is a view cut along line A-A of Figure 4,
Figure 4 is a view from one end, and
Figure 5 is a view cut along line B-B of Figure 3.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] The figures show a transport frame for metal anodes intended for transporting metal anodes 1 of the type that are essentially sheet-shaped and have at one end a first projection 2 and a second projection 3. The first projection 2 extends from the first side (not marked with a reference numeral) of the metal anode 1 and the second projection 3 extends from the opposite side (not marked with a reference numeral) of the metal anode 1. Outokumpu, for instance, manufactures metal anodes 1 of this kind from copper and copper alloys.
[0014] The transport frame for metal anodes comprises a frame 4 on which the metal anodes 1 are suspendable in such a manner that the metal anodes 1 at least partly hang by the first projection 1 and the second projection 3 on the frame 4.
[0015] The transport frame for metal anodes also comprises a transport pallet 5 equipped with container sockets 6a; 6b.
[0016] The figures show a transport frame for metal anodes, in which the frame 4 comprises two ends 7 and two substantially parallel beams 8 that extend between the ends 7 of the frame 4. The beams 8 are at a distance from each other. The ends 7 and the beams 8 form a rectangular space for the metal anodes 1. The metal anodes 1 can be arranged between the beams 8 in such a manner that the first projection 2 and the second projection 3 rest against the beams 8 and the metal anodes 1 hang at least partly on the beams 8. In the transport frame for metal anodes shown in the figures, the beams 8 are at a height at which the metal anodes 1 hang totally on the beams 8, i.e. the bottom ends of the metal anodes 1 do not touch the transport frame for metal anodes. The frame 4 is preferably equipped with sides (not shown in the figures), a roof (not shown in the figures) that opens and a bottom (not shown in the figures) that protect the metal anodes 1 during transportation.
[0017] The transport frame for metal anodes is preferably open at the top so that the metal anodes 1 can be lifted to the frame 4 from the top.
[0018] The transport frame for metal anodes can also comprise at least one side (not shown in the figures). The transport frame for metal anodes can also comprise a roof structure (not shown in the figures) that can preferably be essentially entirely opened so that the metal anodes 1 can be lifted to the frame 4 from the top. The sides and the roof structure can be either soft or hard in structure. The transport frame for metal anodes can also have a hard container-type outer shell (not shown in the figures) that comprises four walls, a roof structure and a bottom structure (not shown in the figures), whereby a weather-tight transport frame for metal anodes is achieved, thus making the transport frame weather-tight.
[0019] The transport frame for metal anodes preferably comprises fastening elements (not marked with a reference numeral) for holding the metal anodes 1 in place in the frame 4. In the transport frame for metal anodes shown in the figures, the fastening elements comprise a movable stopper 9 that can be moved against the metal anodes 1 so that the metal anodes 1 remain substantially stationary in the frame 4 between the frame 4 end 7 and the movable stopper 9. The transport frame for metal anodes shown in the figure comprises a locking arrangement (not marked with a reference numeral) for locking the movable stopper 9 in place. The locking arrangement of the figure comprises a bar 11 equipped with first holes 10 and second holes 12. In the figures, the movable stopper 9 can be locked in place by means of the locking arrangement by moving the movable stopper 9 to a desired location and by locking the movable stopper 9 in place by pushing a locking pin (not shown) or the like at the same time into the first hole 10 and partly into a hole (not shown in the figures) in the movable stopper 9. The bottom edge (not marked with a reference numeral) of the movable stopper 9 is equipped with second pins 15 that can be arranged into the second holes 12.
[0020] The transport frame according to the figure preferably also comprises a tightening arrangement 14 for the stopper for tightening the movable stopper 9 against the metal anodes 1 so that they remain pressed between the movable stopper 9 and the end 7. The tightening arrangement 14 for the stopper can for instance comprise a tightening belt with which the movable stopper 9 is tightened against the end 7 so that the metal anodes 1 remain securely in place between the movable stopper 9 and the end 7.
[0021] The transport frame for metal anodes shown in the figures is equipped with first container sockets 6a for arranging the transport frame of metal anodes shown in the figures on top of a second device equipped with container sockets. The device equipped with container sockets is for instance a vehicle, railway carriage or ship. The transport frame for metal anodes shown in the figures is also equipped with second container sockets 6b for arranging a second device equipped with container sockets on top of the transport frame or for lifting the transport frame with a container hoist. Such a device equipped with container sockets is for instance a container or a second transport frame for metal anodes.
[0022] The first container sockets 6a are preferably arranged in relation to each other in such a manner that the distance between the first container sockets 6a substantially corresponds to the distance between the container sockets of a standard 20- or 40-feet container. The second container sockets 6b are preferably arranged in relation to each other in such a manner that the distance between the second container sockets 6b substantially corresponds to the distance between the first container sockets 6a, and the second container sockets 6b are arranged substantially directly above the first container sockets 6a. The container sockets 6a and 6b of the transport frame for metal anodes shown in the figures are arranged in relation to each other in such a manner that the distance between the first container sockets 6a and correspondingly that of the second container sockets 6b substantially corresponds to the distance between the container sockets of a standard 20-feet container. It may, however, be lower than a standard 20-feet container.
[0023] It is also possible that the transport frame for metal anodes is only equipped with the first container sockets 6a shown in the figures and does not have the second container sockets 6b. In this type of embodiment, too, the first container sockets 6a are preferably arranged in relation to each other in such a manner that the distance between the first container sockets 6a substantially corresponds to the distance between the container sockets of a standard 20- or 40-feet container.
[0024] The frame 4 can be detachably arranged to the transport pallet 5. In the solutions shown in the figures, the frame 4 is fixedly arranged to the transport pallet 5.
[0025] The transport frame for metal anodes shown in the figures comprises openings 13 for lifting the container with a forklift (not shown in the figures).
