Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ship cargo box technology, and in particular to a cargo box for ocean-going vessels. Background Technology
[0002] Ships are an important means of transportation in modern society. They enable the transport of goods by water and are one of the mainstream modes of transportation, allowing for the efficient transport of large quantities of cargo.
[0003] During ocean shipping, cargo containers need to be secured to the vessel to withstand the turbulence caused by the ship's movement at sea. After the containers are placed on the deck, they are usually secured using various components, such as bolts, latches, and netting. However, these connection methods are cumbersome to install and remove. For example, when using bolts, multiple bolts are typically used to connect the containers to the ship's deck or to containers themselves, which prolongs the disassembly process. Furthermore, connecting and removing containers at higher elevations is quite inconvenient.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a cargo container for ocean-going vessels is proposed, which facilitates the connection between cargo containers and between the cargo container and the deck. It also allows for easy release of the fixed components when unloading is required, and the positioning structure is electrically controlled for opening and closing, making it easy to adjust and thus enabling more convenient loading and unloading of cargo containers on ocean-going vessels. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a cargo box for ocean-going vessels, which can easily connect cargo boxes to each other and to the deck. It is also easy to release the fixed parts when unloading is required. The positioning structure adopts electric control for opening and closing, which is easy to adjust, making the loading and unloading of cargo boxes on ocean-going vessels more convenient.
[0006] The present invention provides the following solution to the above-mentioned technical problems: A cargo box for marine vessels includes a cargo box body, a first positioning frame, and a second positioning frame. The cargo box body, the first positioning frame, the second positioning frame, and the outer wall of the marine vessel deck are all fixedly connected to connecting frames. A brake stepper motor and a battery are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first positioning frame. Bidirectional ball screws are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first positioning frame near both edges. One side of the bidirectional ball screw is fixedly connected to the brake stepper motor. Sprockets are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the bidirectional ball screws. Chains are meshed with the outer walls of the sprockets on both sides. Screw nuts are threaded onto the outer walls of the bidirectional ball screws near the center on both sides. An adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the opposite side of each screw nut. L-shaped positioning plates are uniformly fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting plates on both sides. A mounting groove is provided at the top of the second positioning frame. Limiting frames are uniformly fixedly installed on the inner walls of the mounting groove near the center on both sides corresponding to the L-shaped positioning plates.
[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0008] Furthermore, bolt holes are evenly provided on the outer wall of the connecting frame, and the cargo box body and the first positioning frame, the cargo box body and the second positioning frame, and the marine vessel deck and the second positioning frame can all be connected by bolts or screws configured on the frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the battery is connected to the brake stepper motor via a wire, the brake stepper motor is signal-connected to a stepper motor driver, and the stepper motor driver is equipped with a motor remote control module.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the first positioning frame is uniformly fixedly connected with load-bearing rods, and the adjusting plate has sliding holes adapted to the load-bearing rods, and the inner wall of the sliding holes is slidably connected to the load-bearing rods.
[0011] Furthermore, a middle plate is uniformly fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the first positioning frame, and the outer wall of the middle plate is provided with mounting holes that are compatible with the load-bearing rod, and the inner wall of the mounting holes is fixedly connected to the load-bearing rod.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the first positioning frame is provided with a positioning slot that is compatible with the second positioning frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the limiting frame is provided with a limiting slot that is adapted to the L-shaped positioning plate.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a cargo box for marine vessels, which has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. The top and bottom of the cargo box body are respectively installed with No. 2 positioning frame and No. 1 positioning frame by connecting frame bolts. The cargo box body can be hoisted to the No. 2 positioning frame on the top of the deck of the marine vessel. After the positioning slot of the No. 1 positioning frame is fitted into the top of the No. 2 positioning frame, the brake stepper motor can be started to rotate the bidirectional ball screw on one side. The sprockets of the bidirectional ball screws on both sides are connected by chain drive, so that the bidirectional ball screws on both sides can rotate synchronously and drive the adjustment plates on both sides to move to the opposite side, so that the L-shaped positioning plate can be locked into the limiting slot of the limiting frame for locking, so that the No. 1 positioning frame can be stably connected to the No. 2 positioning frame.
[0016] 2. This allows the bottom cargo box to be stably placed on top of the deck of an ocean vessel. The first positioning frame of the subsequent cargo box can be positioned and connected to the second positioning frame of the bottom cargo box in the same way, allowing multiple sets of first positioning frames to be quickly stacked and positioned. The battery can power the brake stepper motor, which is remotely controlled by the stepper controller, allowing the staff to remotely control the connection and disconnection of the cargo box, thus facilitating the loading and unloading of the cargo box.
[0017] 3. This type of cargo box for ocean-going vessels allows for easy connection between cargo boxes and between cargo boxes and the deck. It is also easy to release the fixing when unloading is required. The positioning structure is electrically controlled for opening and closing, which is easy to adjust, making the loading and unloading of cargo boxes on ocean-going vessels more convenient.
