Transport container, vehicle, traction group, method for loading a transport container, and method for transporting bulk material

1. A transport container, the transport container comprising: a bulk material car body having a longitudinally extending transportation space for receiving goods to be transported, which on its upper side includes at least one opening, wherein the transport container includes a grate which at least in part covers the at least one opening, and the grate includes a plurality of transverse stays which extend substantially transversely to the direction of longitudinal extent, wherein the spacing D of the transverse stays between one another is 0.8≦D/H≦1.2, where H is the height of the transverse stays.

2. The transport container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said transport container includes side walls which laterally delimit the transportation space and between which the grate is disposed.

3. The transport container as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the grate is connected in a mechanically fixed manner to at least one side wall.

4. The transport container as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the grate bears on at least two side walls and/or is connected in a form-fitting manner to two side walls.

5. The transport container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the grate includes only the transverse stays.

6. The transport container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the grate includes transverse stays which extend substantially transversely to the direction of longitudinal extent, and includes longitudinal stays which extend substantially in the direction of longitudinal extent.

7. The transport container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein D≦0.75 m.

8. The transport container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said transport container comprises an emptying unit, by way of which unloading of the goods to be transported is implementable through an opening other than the opening provided with the grate.

9. A vehicle comprising a transport container as claimed in claim 1 .

10. The vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said vehicle is a bulk material car.

11. The transport container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transport container is a component part of a rail vehicle.

12. A method for loading a transport container, comprising:

providing a transport container having a bulk material car body having a longitudinally extending transportation space for receiving goods to be transported, which on its upper side includes at least one opening, wherein the transport container includes a grate which at least in part covers the opening, and the grate includes transverse stays which extend substantially transversely to the direction of longitudinal extent, with grate openings there between, wherein the spacing D of the transverse stays between one another has the following ratio to the height H of the stays: 0.8≦D/H≦1.2; and

pouring bulk material, into the transportation space via the grate openings.

13. A method for transporting bulk material, comprising:

providing a transport container having a bulk material car body having a longitudinally extending transportation space for receiving goods to be transported, which on its upper side includes at least one opening, wherein the transport container includes a grate which at least in part covers the opening, and the grate includes transverse stays which extend substantially transversely to the direction of longitudinal extent, with grate openings there between, wherein the spacing D of the transverse stays between one another has the following ratio to the height H of the stays: 0.8≦D/H≦1.2;

providing an emptying unit, by way of which unloading of the goods to be transported is implementable through an opening other than the opening provided with the grate;

pouring bulk material, into the transportation space via the grate openings; and

unloading of the bulk material through the emptying unit.
