The invention belongs to the field of containers, and particularly relates to a self-balancing container which comprises an outer container body and a
brake mechanism. The outer container body comprises an inner container body, and the
brake mechanism comprises top seats, steel cables, bottom seats, a buffer, buffer balls, a piezoelectric
ceramic element, a wire set, fine sand, bar permanent magnets, steel bars and a sliding rail. In the sliding process of the buffer balls, a pressure change is formed on the piezoelectric
ceramic element fixedly installed on the top face of an inner cavity of the inner container body, and then induced current is generated; the piezoelectric
ceramic element is fixedly connected with the wire set, so that the induced current generated by the piezoelectric ceramic element enters the wire set, and then the wire set generates a
magnetic field; in the emergency braking process of the outer container body, the fine sand and the buffer balls have an
inertia difference due to the
mass difference of the fine sand and the buffer balls; and when the buffer balls are concentrated at one end of the top face of the inner container body, one end of the inner container body moves downwards, then the fine sand is supplemented to the bottom face of the downward moving end of the inner container body due to
inertia, and thus the effect of keeping a self-balancing state in the inner container body is achieved.
