Container connection device

Abstract

Provided is an automatic twisting container connector that is not easy to loosen during transportation and can reduce the lateral swing of the container to facilitate assembly and disassembly. Equipped with: the connection seat (1) arranged between the corner fittings (C) of the stacked containers, protruding from the connection seat (1), respectively embedded in the grooves (C1) of the upper and lower corner fittings (C) to position the container The upper support (2) and the lower support (3) of the position of the connector are protrudingly arranged on the upper support (2) and the lower support (3), and pass through the groove (C1) of the corner piece (C) Combining the upper conical body (4) and the lower conical body (5) connected to the container; the lower conical body (5) has: displacement in one direction along the width direction of the groove (C1) and hanging down from the lower support (3) The front part (7), the fixed protrusion (8) protruding from the top end of the front part (7) to the opposite side of the displacement direction, is affected by the elastic force along the displacement direction on the side closer to the root than the fixed protrusion (8) Movable protrusion (9) protruding from the front (7) and retracted by swinging upwards.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a container connecting tool for connecting upper and lower containers to each other when stacking containers, in particular to an automatic container connecting tool which can automatically release the connection by lifting the container during unloading. Background technique [0002] When a large number of containers are transported by ship, containers stacked up and down in multiple layers are connected with container connectors so that the cargo can be loaded without collapsing when the ship shakes (rolls, pitches). [0003] The container connector has: a plate-shaped connecting seat arranged between the corner fittings of the stacked containers, and an upper and lower support that protrudes from the connecting seat and is respectively embedded in the grooves of the upper and lower corner fittings to position the container connector. An upper and lower cone at the top of the support; the cone connects the container b...

Problems solved by technology

[0012] Moreover, since the fixing protrusion 13 deviates a lot from the centerline of the support 11 in this container connector, when it is desired to insert the fixing protrusion 13 into the groove C1 of the corner fitting C, the lifted container must be swung sideways. The same distance as the offset of the fixed protrusion 13, so it cannot be loaded without a certain clearance from the adjacent container

[0013] And, when unloading, due to the fixed protrusion 13 that moves to the position pulled out from the groove C1 under the guidance of the upper inclined surface 15, there is still lateral inertia after being pulled out from the groove C1, so the container that is lifted The side swings sharply, and there is a possibility of hitting the adjacent container

Especially when the adjacent container is a tank container, there is a risk of spillage of stored chemicals, etc.

[0014] Moreover, if one of the left and right container connectors enters the corner fitting C first, the other container connector cannot enter, and if the container is lifted again for rework, there will be a phenomenon that the container connector that entered first will not be able to unplugging problem
