[0039] Preferably, see Figures 1 to 12 The special container provided in this embodiment has a slewing mechanism 70 comprising a base 71, a slewing oil cylinder 72, an oil cylinder hinge 73, a slewing support 74 and a hinge seat 75. A slewing support 74 is provided above the base 71. One end of the two slewing oil cylinders 72 is hinged to the hinge seat 75, and the other ends of the two slewing oil cylinders 72 are respectively connected to the slewing support 74 via the two oil cylinder hinges 73. The luffing mechanism 80 comprises a turntable 81, a lower luffing hinge 82, an luffing cylinder 83, a vertical frame 84, an upper luffing hinge 85 and a slewing hinge 86.

The turntable 81 is connected to the middle part of the vertical frame 84 via the slewing hinge 86. 4 is connected to the base 71. Driven by two luffing cylinders 83, the erection frame 84 rotates about a swivel hinge 86 on the turntable 81, achieving a luffing motion from a horizontal position to a vertical position, allowing the load mounted on the erection frame 84 to be luffed to any desired angle. Furthermore, under the combined push and pull forces of the two rotary cylinders 72, the turntable 81 rotates about the axis of the swivel support 74, achieving a change in azimuth angle, allowing the load mounted on the erection frame 84 to reach a specified azimuth angle and luffing angle. The special container provided in this embodiment achieves rotation of the turntable through the coordinated action of two oil cylinders. The erection frame 84 can rotate about a swivel hinge 86 on the turntable 81, achieving a luffing motion from 0° to 90°, allowing the load mounted on the erection frame 84 to be luffed to any desired angle, with a high degree of automation.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the working principle of the special container provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0041] The container provided in this embodiment mainly includes a container body 10, a top cover 20, a side door 30, front legs 40, rear legs 50, a rear door 60, a slewing mechanism 70, a luffing mechanism 80, and a power device 90.

[0042] The container body 10 mainly includes a frame 11, a corrugated sheet skin 12, a leg base 13, corner fittings 14 and a front door 15. The corner fittings 14 are arranged in the same way as standard containers, and mainly play a fixing role during transportation. They can also be used as lifting points. The front door 15 is an inspection door that is opened manually. The entire container body 10 is an open structure at the top and rear.

[0043] The top cover 20 is divided into four parts in total, namely the left front cover 21, the right front cover 22, the left rear cover 23 and the right rear cover 24. The opening of the top cover 20 is driven by six sets of lifting cylinders 25, and can be opened from a horizontal state of 0° to a vertical state of 90° around the first hinge installed on the container body 10, completely opening the top of the container.

[0044] The side door 30 primarily comprises a first door frame 31, a first sealing strip 32, a lock catch 33, a second hinge 34, and a first chute 35. The front leg 40 comprises a three-stage first support cylinder 41, a first swing leg 42, a first swing leg cylinder 43, and a first connecting rod 44. The side door 30 and front leg 40 are connected via the first connecting rod 44 and the first chute 35. The first swing leg cylinder 43 drives the side door 30 to open and the front leg 40 to deploy.

[0045] The rotation center of the first swing cylinder 43 of the front leg 40 is located inside the container, while the second hinge 34 of the side door 30 is located on the container sidewall. This ensures that the first door frame body 31 does not interfere with the container wall when the first swing cylinder 43 drives the side door 30 to open. Because the front leg 40 and the side door 30 rotate off-axis, there is relative motion during deployment, and the first connecting rod 44 slides in the first sliding groove 35.

[0046] When there is no need to start the first swing leg cylinder 43, or when the first swing leg cylinder 43 fails and cannot move, the side door 30 can be opened manually. At this time, the key installed on the first door frame body 31 is twisted outside the container to drive the lock 33 to move horizontally to one side. At this time, a gap appears in the first slide groove 35, and the first connecting rod 44 can just pass through the gap. Therefore, the connection between the side door 30 and the front support leg 40 is unlocked, and the side door 30 can be manually opened.

[0047] The rear support leg 50 includes a three-stage second support cylinder 51, a support plate 52, a second swing leg 53, a second swing leg cylinder 54 and a second connecting rod 55. The rear door 60 mainly includes a second door frame body 61, a second sealing strip 62, a third hinge 63, a second slide 64 and a tailgate 65.

[0048] The rear door 60 is L-shaped. When it and the rear legs 50 are automatically opened by the second swing cylinder 54, the entire rear section of the container is simultaneously opened, forming an open cavity with ample space for the internal mechanisms to complete their rotation. Meanwhile, a tailgate 65 is located at the very rear end and can be manually opened as an inspection hatch for personnel without deploying the rear door 60.

[0049] The slewing mechanism 70 mainly includes a base 71 , a slewing oil cylinder 72 , an oil cylinder hinge 73 , a slewing support 74 and a hinge seat 75 arranged on the turntable 81 .

[0050] The luffing mechanism 80 primarily comprises a turntable 81, a lower luffing hinge 82, a luffing cylinder 83, a lifting frame 84, an upper luffing hinge 85, and a slewing hinge 86. Driven by the dual luffing cylinders 83, the lifting frame 84 can rotate about the slewing hinge 86 on the turntable 81, achieving a luffing motion from 0° to 90°. This allows the load mounted on the lifting frame 84 to be luffed to any desired angle.

[0051] The turntable 81 and the base 71 are connected by a slewing support 74. Under the push and pull of the two slewing cylinders 72, the turntable 81 can be driven to rotate around the axis of the slewing support 74, thereby realizing the change of the azimuth angle, so that the load on the erection frame 84 can reach the specified azimuth angle and luffing angle.

[0052] The entire container can be self-loaded and unloaded through the front legs 40 and the rear legs 50, so that loading and unloading from the container flatbed truck can be achieved without the need for additional lifting equipment. Through the action of the first swing leg cylinder 43 and the second swing leg cylinder 54, the legs are swung open, and then the three-level first support cylinder 41 and the second support cylinder 51 are fully extended, thereby forming a gap wide enough under the container for the trailer to reverse into. After the trailer is reversed into place, the first support cylinder 41 and the second support cylinder 51 are retracted, and the container is dropped onto the trailer to achieve automatic loading. Finally, the first swing leg cylinder 43 and the second swing leg cylinder 54 are retracted to complete the entire loading action. The unloading action is the reverse of the loading action.

[0053] The entire container can be self-loaded and unloaded through the front legs 40 and the rear legs 50, so that loading and unloading from the container flatbed can be achieved without the need for additional lifting equipment. Through the action of the first swing leg cylinder 43 and the second swing leg cylinder 54, the legs are swung open, and then the three-level first support cylinder 41 and the second support cylinder 51 are fully extended, thereby forming a gap wide enough under the container for the trailer to reverse into. After the trailer is reversed into place, the first support cylinder 41 and the second support cylinder 51 retract, and the container falls onto the trailer to achieve automatic loading. Finally, the first swing leg cylinder 43 and the second swing leg cylinder 54 are retracted to complete the entire loading action. The unloading action is the reverse of the loading action.

[0054] If the ground is uneven, the entire container can be automatically leveled using the front legs 40 and rear legs 50. After the container lands, the built-in level gauge can be used to determine the unevenness of the entire ground, thereby adjusting the extension lengths of the front legs 40 and / or rear legs 50 to achieve automatic leg leveling.
