Problems solved by technology

Port congestion has become a global problem due to the inefficiency of container transportation methods, shortage of transportation facilities and space constraints
However, simply relying on the expansion of traditional transportation methods, that is, building more railways and roads, etc., will face "ground congestion, oil dependence, environmental damage, and safety (the current transportation system is very fragile in the face of natural environment and man-made damage)" and other issues, and the ground transportation is also greatly affected by the weather, which is not suitable for the needs of modern large-scale container transportation

Embodiment 1

[0015] Using underground single circular tunnels or pipelines (see figure 1 ), the carrier adopts unmanned automatic guided vehicles to reduce the environmental requirements for underground tunnels or pipelines, reduce the cost, shorten the construction period, and at the same time improve efficiency and safety. The unmanned automatic guidance described here The car is a prior art, so it does not repeat its working principle here, and each carrying device should be able to transport more than two 20-foot standard containers or more than one 40-foot container. During transportation, the container at the port is lifted first and then placed in the container; then the unmanned automatic guided vehicle passes through the underground single-circle tunnel or pipeline to the freight terminal according to the set route, and then the unmanned automatic guided vehicle travels along the freight terminal The slope reaches the ground; finally, the containers on the carrier are sorted and l...

Embodiment 2

[0017] Lift the container in the port and place it in the automatic rail locomotive; the automatic rail locomotive passes through the underground tunnel or pipeline with left and right transport lanes according to the set route (see figure 2 and image 3 ) arrives at the freight terminal, where the underground tunnel or pipeline is provided with tracks, guides and monitoring devices that match the automatic rail locomotive (these are all prior art, so it will not repeat its working principle), and then the automatic rail locomotive Along the slope of the freight terminal to the ground, there is a track on the slope that matches the automatic rail locomotive; finally, the containers on the automatic rail locomotive are sorted and lifted to complete loading and unloading, and the loaded and unloaded containers are finally transported to the destination by the conveyor belt.

Embodiment 3

[0019] Lift the container in the port and place it in the automatic rail locomotive; the automatic rail locomotive passes through the underground tunnel or pipeline with upper and lower transport layers according to the set route (see Figure 4 , the height and width of each transport layer are greater than the height and width of the automatic rail locomotive, and the smaller caliber is used as much as possible to reduce the cost) to the freight terminal, where the underground tunnel or pipeline is equipped with an automatic rail locomotive The matching track, guiding device and monitoring device, and then the automatic rail locomotive reaches the ground along the slope of the freight terminal, and the track and traction rope matching the automatic rail locomotive are provided on the slope; finally, the containers on the automatic rail locomotive are sorted, lifted and Complete loading and unloading. When implementing, it can start with the areas with the most serious congest...

Abstract

The invention relates to a carrier by which containers are delivered along an underground tunnel or an underground pipeline and the loading and unloading are completed at a delivery terminal. The carrier has the advantages of saving land, avoiding jagged roads of the containers under the meteorologic disaster conditions such as storm wind, snow rainfall and heavy fog, etc., being more reliable, on-time and safer, reducing the traffic accidents caused by urban container transport, reducing the energy loss and waste gas exhaust, reducing the traffic noise, lightening the vibration, etc. which are caused by the container transport, etc. as well as realizing the linear transport of the containers, thus shortening the transport distance of the containers.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of container transportation methods, in particular to a method for transporting containers through underground pipelines or tunnels. Background technique: [0002] At present, container transportation in ports mainly sends containers to their destinations by way of road, railway and waterway. Port congestion has become a global problem due to the inefficiency of container transportation methods, shortage of transportation facilities, and space constraints. However, simply relying on the expansion of traditional transportation methods, that is, building more railways and roads, etc., will face "ground congestion, oil dependence, environmental damage, and safety (the current transportation system is very fragile in the face of natural environment and man-made damage)" and other issues, and the ground transportation is also greatly affected by the weather, which is not suitable for the needs of modern large-s...
