[0022] In the following description, a large number of specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the embodiments of the present invention, some technical features well known in the art are not described.

[0023] In order to fully understand the embodiments of the present invention, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0024] The present invention provides a transport storage device 100 for storing upper and lower layers of goods, for example, an upper layer of vehicles 210 and a lower layer of vehicles 220. Of course, the transport storage device 100 of the present invention can also load other non-vehicle goods.

[0025] The transport storage device 100 mainly includes four columns 110, two side beams 130 and a support frame 140. Figures 1 to 4 The transport storage device 100 of the present invention is described in detail.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, four columns 110 can be arranged in the vertical direction and spaced apart from each other. Two of the four columns 110 are located at one end of the length direction of the transport storage device 100, and the other two of the four columns 110 are located at the other end of the length direction of the transport storage device 100.

[0027] In addition, the transport storage device 100 of the present invention may further include two top cross beams 150. The two top cross beams 150 may be respectively disposed at both ends of the length direction of the transport storage device 100. Specifically, the top cross beam 150 may be disposed between two columns 110 located at the same end of the transport storage device 100 and located at the top of the columns 110, so as to connect the two columns 110.

[0028] In this embodiment, the four columns 110 may be respectively provided with a sliding sleeve 120 movable in the height direction. Specifically, the sliding sleeve 120 may include a main body 121. The main body 121 of the sliding sleeve 120 may be configured as a circular tubular structure. A plurality of sliding sleeve fixing holes 111 may be provided on the column 110. The sliding sleeve fixing hole 111 may be a circular through hole. A plurality of sliding sleeve fixing holes 111 may be arranged at intervals in the height direction of the column 110. The sliding sleeve 120 may be sleeved on the column 110 through the main body 121 and may be movable in the height direction of the column 110, and the sliding sleeve 120 may be fixed at a predetermined height position of the column 110 through a pin 112 extending through the main body 121 and the sliding sleeve fixing hole 111.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the two side beams 130 may be respectively provided with openings 131. The openings 131 may be through holes. Each of the two side beams 130 may be pivotally connected to the respective sliding sleeves 120 of the two columns 110 located on the same side via the openings 131. Since the sliding sleeves 120 may move up and down along the height direction of the column 110, the side beams 130 may move along the height direction of the column 110 with the sliding sleeves 120 and may rotate relative to the column 110.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the sliding sleeve 120 may have a protrusion 122. The protrusion 122 may extend through the opening 131 of the side beam 130, so that the side beam 130 is connected to the sliding sleeve 120. Specifically, the protrusion 122 may be arranged to extend radially outward from the outer surface of the main body 121. The protrusion 122 may be configured as a cylindrical stepped structure to facilitate fixing with the side beam 130.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the opening 131 may include a circular hole 132 and a strip hole 133. The circular hole 132 and the strip hole 133 may be spaced apart along the length direction of the side beam 130. At least one circular hole 132 and the strip hole 133 may be provided on the side beam 130. Specifically, in the present embodiment, two circular holes 132 and one strip hole 133 are provided on the side beam 130. The two circular holes 132 may be provided at the same end of the strip hole 133. Thus, the sliding sleeves 120 on the two columns 110 at one end of the transport storage device 100 may be connected to the circular hole 132, and the sliding sleeves 120 on the two columns 110 at the other end of the transport storage device 100 may be connected to the strip hole 133.

[0032] In this embodiment, two circular holes 132 are provided on the side beam 130. In actual use, one of the two circular holes 132 can be selected as needed to connect with the sliding sleeve 120 on the column 110 at one end of the transport storage device 100, so as to meet the loading requirements of vehicles with different wheelbases. By providing a strip hole 133 on the side beam 130, the side beam 130 can pivot around the center of the circular hole 132 and relative to the column 110 at one end of the transport storage device 100, and the protrusion 122 of the sliding sleeve 120 on the column 110 at the other end of the transport storage device 100 can move along the length direction of the strip hole 133, so that the side beam 130 can be rotated without adjusting the distance between the columns 110.

[0033] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the number of the circular holes 132 and the bar-shaped holes 133 is not limited to the present embodiment. As required, other numbers of circular holes 132 and bar-shaped holes 133 may be provided on the side beam 130. In an embodiment of the present invention not shown, three circular holes 132 and one bar-shaped hole 133 may be provided on the side beam 130.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 140 of this embodiment is detachably arranged on the two side beams 130. The support frame 140 includes a pair of side connecting beams 141 located on both sides and a support beam 142 arranged between the pair of side connecting beams 141. The support beam 142 can be used to support and fix the wheels of the vehicle. A plurality of support beam fixing holes 145 for fixing the support beam 142 can be provided on the side connecting beam 141. The plurality of support beam fixing holes 145 can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the side connecting beam 141, so that the support beam 142 can be moved along the length direction of the side connecting beam 141 and fixed at different positions of the side connecting beam 141 to adjust the spacing between the two support beams 142, so as to meet the loading requirements of vehicles with different wheelbases.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first end of the side beam 130 in the length direction may be provided with a guide portion 134, and the first end of the side connecting beam 141 in the length direction may be sleeved with a sleeve 143, and the first end of the side beam 130 can be inserted into the sleeve 143. Specifically, the sleeve 143 can be sleeved on the first end of the side connecting beam 141 along the length direction of the side connecting beam 141, and the first end of the side connecting beam 141 is located at the inner upper position of the sleeve 143, so that the first end of the side beam 130 can be inserted into the inner lower position of the sleeve 143. The guide portion 134 may have an inclined guide surface to guide the first end of the side beam 130 to be inserted into the sleeve 143.

[0036] The strip hole 133 of this embodiment is closer to the guide portion 134 than the circular hole 132. Specifically, the strip hole 133 is arranged close to the guide portion 134, and the circular hole 132 is arranged close to the stop portion 135. Since the transport storage device 100 of the present invention is usually used in conjunction with a container 200, the transport storage device 100 can be arranged and fixed in the container 200. In order to facilitate loading of the upper vehicle 210, the first end of the side beam 130 is usually closer to the door end of the container 200 than the second end of the side beam 130 (see Figure 6), so it is convenient to use a forklift to lift up the sliding sleeves 120 on the two columns 110 near the door end of the container 200, so that the support frame 140 can rotate around the sliding sleeves 120 on the two columns 110 near the front end of the container 200 to facilitate loading the lower vehicle 220.

[0037] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The second end of the side beam 130 in the length direction may be provided with a limiting portion 135, and the second end of the side connecting beam 141 in the length direction may be provided with an end opening 144, and the limiting portion 135 can cooperate with the end opening 144 to limit the side connecting beam 141. The end opening 144 of this embodiment may be configured as a V-shaped opening. The limiting portion 135 may be partially inserted into the end opening 144 to cooperate with the end opening 144.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the stopper 135 may include a first extension portion 136 extending upward from the top of the side beam 130, a second extension portion 137 extending inward from the top of the first extension portion 136 along the length direction of the side beam 130, and a third extension portion 138 extending inward from the first extension portion 136 along the length direction of the side beam 130. Specifically, the first extension portion 136 may extend upward from the top of the side beam 130 in the vertical direction, and the second extension portion 137 may extend horizontally inward from the top of the first extension portion 136 along the length direction of the side beam 130. An inverted L-shaped structure may be configured between the first extension portion 136 and the second extension portion 137. The third extension portion 138 may extend horizontally inward from the first extension portion 136 along the length direction of the side beam 130, and the top of the third extension portion 138 may be connected to the second extension portion 137. The cross-sectional shape of the third extension portion 138 may be adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the end opening 144. That is, the third extension portion 138 may have an outer surface configured as a V-shape so as to be inserted into the end opening 144. Thus, the second extension portion 137 can restrict the side connection beam 141 from moving upward, and the third extension portion 138 can restrict the side connection beam 141 from moving leftward and rightward in the horizontal direction.

[0039] Figures 5 to 10 The process of loading a vehicle with the transport storage device 100 of the present invention is shown. The following will be described in detail by taking the transport storage device 100 and the container 200 as an example.

[0040] like Figure 5As shown, firstly, four columns 110 are put into the container 200, and the four columns 110 are fixed to the container 200 at a certain distance from each other. Then, the sliding sleeves 120 arranged on the four columns 110 are adjusted so that the four sliding sleeves 120 are located on the same horizontal plane, and according to the actual needs of the loading vehicle, the four sliding sleeves 120 are located at a predetermined height position of the column 110. The four sliding sleeves 120 form a stable four-point support structure in the space surrounded by the four columns 110.

[0041] In addition, in order to enable the pillar 110 to be fixed more firmly, the bottom of the pillar 110 may have a protruding fixing portion 113 which can match the corrugated shape of the side wall of the container 200 .

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the two side beams 130 are put into the container 200, and the two side beams 130 are respectively connected to the sliding sleeves 120 on the two columns 110 on both sides of the transport storage device 100, so that the second ends of the two side beams 130 (i.e., the ends where the limiting portions 135 are provided) are closer to the front end of the container 200 ( Figure 6 According to the actual needs of loading the vehicle, the sliding sleeve 120 can be connected to any one of the two circular holes 132 of the side beam 130.

[0043] like Figure 7 As shown, the support frame 140 is placed and positioned above the special transfer tool (not shown). The upper vehicle 210 is then moved onto the support frame 140 so that the front and rear wheels of the upper vehicle 210 are respectively located above the two support beams 142, and then the wheels of the upper vehicle 210 are fixed to the support beams 142. The special transfer tool is adjusted to move the support frame 140 to a predetermined position of the loading height. A forklift (not shown) is then used to push the special transfer tool in a horizontal direction to deliver the support frame 140 together with the upper vehicle 210 as a whole into the container 200. After the support beam 142 reaches the predetermined horizontal position, the special transfer tool is lowered so that the support frame 140 together with the upper vehicle 210 is placed on the two side beams 130 located on both sides. The support frame 140 is then pushed by a forklift so that the guide portion 134 arranged at the first end of the side beam 130 can be inserted into the sleeve 143 arranged at the first end of the side support beam 142, and the limiting portion 135 arranged at the second end of the side beam 130 can be inserted into the end opening 144 of the second end of the side connecting beam 141, and finally the side connecting beam 141 is fixed to the side beam 130 by the pin shaft 146.

[0044] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9As shown, a forklift is used to move the sleeves 120 on the two columns 110 near the door end of the container 200 upward to a predetermined position and fix them, so that the support frame 140 can rotate around the sleeves 120 on the two columns 110 near the front end of the container 200 to a certain angle with the horizontal direction, so as to leave enough space under the support frame 140 to load the lower vehicle 220.

[0045] By repeating the above steps, two or more transport storage devices 100 can be placed inside the container 200 . Fig.10 It is exemplarily shown that two transport storage devices 100 can be loaded in a 40HC (high cabinet) container 200 to load four vehicles.

[0046] The operation steps of unloading a vehicle by the transport storage device 100 of the present invention are opposite to the order of the above-mentioned loading steps, and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] The transport storage device according to the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate, has a low manufacturing cost, and has a high transport empty return rate, and can be widely used in the fields of container truck transportation and stacking yards and warehouse stereoscopic storage.
