[0046] Now, refer to the appendix Figures 1 to 8 Exemplary embodiments according to this application will be described in more detail.
[0047] refer to Figure 1 This application provides a container 100, which has a flat floor 101, side panels 102, a top panel 103, a door 105, and a front wall 104. The door 105 and the front wall 104 are respectively located at both ends of the flat floor 101 along the length of the container 100. Two side panels 102 are respectively vertically located on both sides of the flat floor 101 along the width of the container 100. The top panel 103 is connected to the top of the two side panels 102, the door 105, and the front wall 104. The container 100 can be a refrigerated container.
[0048] refer toFigures 2 to 5 The bottom of the side plate 102 is provided with a connecting seat 130, specifically, the connecting seat 130 is arranged at the joint of the side plate 102 and the flat floor 101. The container 100 of the present application further has a carrying bracket 110, the carrying bracket 110 has opposite first and second faces, and the carrying bracket 110 is provided with a through gap.
[0049] The carrying bracket 110 is connected to the connecting seat 130 through a pivot shaft 131, so that the carrying bracket 110 can be switched between a spread state and a folded state. In the spread state, the carrying bracket 110 is pivoted to the first face facing the flat floor 101, and the carrying bracket 110 is laid to the flat floor 101, at which time the through gap can be communicated to the flat floor 101. In the folded state, the carrying bracket 110 is pivoted to the carrying bracket 110 being separated from the flat floor 101 and the second face facing the side plate 102.
[0050] According to the container 100 of the present application, the carrying bracket 110 in the spread state can not only carry goods but also facilitate the ventilation of the bottom of the goods, and when the carrying bracket 110 is in the folded state, the flat floor 101 of the container 100 can be cleaned.
[0051] The carrying bracket 110 includes two bracket parts, specifically, a first bracket part 111 and a second bracket part 112. The first bracket part 111 and the second bracket part 112 are pivotably connected through a hinge 113, and the first bracket part 111 is pivotably connected to the connecting seat 130. Preferably, the two bracket parts are arranged along the width direction of the container 100, so that as shown in Figure 2 When the carrying bracket 110 is in the spread state, the first bracket part 111 and the second bracket part 112 can fully spread the flat floor 101 of the container 100 along the width direction.
[0052] Referring to Figure 6 The bracket part (or the first bracket part 111 / second bracket part 112) includes at least two side structures, for example, a first structure layer and a second structure layer. The first structure layer includes a plurality of first beams 115 extending along a first direction, and the plurality of first beams 115 are arranged at intervals along a second direction, wherein the first direction is orthogonal to the second direction. The second structure layer is arranged at the bottom side of the first structure layer, and the second structure layer includes a plurality of second beams 116 extending along the second direction, and the plurality of second beams 116 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the second beams 116 are connected with the first beams 115. Thus, the first beams 115 and the second beams 116 arranged in staggered layers can form a plurality of through gaps, which allow air to flow through the bracket part, and maintain the flowability when carrying goods.
[0053] As an implementation, the first direction can be the length direction of the container 100, and the second direction can be the width direction of the container 100. Alternatively, the first direction can be the width direction of the container 100, and the second direction can be the length direction of the container 100.
[0054] Preferably, the bracket portion is configured as a three-layer structure, which has a third structure layer in addition to the first structure layer and the second structure layer. The third structure layer is arranged at the bottom side of the second structure layer. In other words, the second structure layer is clamped between the first structure layer and the third structure layer. The third structure layer includes a plurality of third beams 117, and the third beams 117 extend along the first direction, and the plurality of third beams 117 are arranged in the second direction, wherein the third beams 117 are connected between the first beams 115 and the second beams 116. Thus, when the bearing bracket 110 is in the unfolded state, the third beams 117 of the third structure layer abut the flat floor 101, and the through gaps formed by the staggered stacking of the first beams 115, the second beams 116 and the third beams 117 can lead to the flat floor 101.
[0055] As an optional embodiment, the container 100 is provided with at least two groups of bearing brackets 110, and the at least two groups of bearing brackets 110 are arranged along the length direction of the container 100, so that the bearing bracket 110 can also fully unfold the flat floor 101 of the container 100 along the length direction when it is in the unfolded state. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the container 100 has two groups of bearing brackets 110.
[0056] And each group of bearing brackets 110 corresponds to a pair of connecting seats 130, so as to be stably installed. For example, the bearing bracket 110 is arranged between the pair of connecting seats 130. Referring to Figure 7 The end of the bearing bracket 110 is provided with a pivot bracket 114, specifically, the end of the first bracket portion 111 is provided with the pivot bracket 114 described above, and the two pivot brackets 114 are arranged at the two ends of the first bracket portion 111 along the length direction of the container 100. The pivot bracket 114 is arranged at the inner side of the connecting seat 130, the pivot shaft 131 penetrates the pivot bracket 114 and the connecting seat 130, and the end of the pivot shaft 131 located outside the connecting seat 130 is provided with a pin shaft 132, so as to realize the stable pivoting of the bearing bracket 110.
[0057] As a preferred embodiment, the pivotable direction of the first bracket portion 111 relative to the side plate 102 is opposite to the pivotable direction of the second bracket portion 112 relative to the first bracket portion 111, so that in the folded state, the first face of the second bracket portion 112 faces the first face of the first bracket portion 111. As Figure 3As shown, when folded, the first bracket portion 111 pivots towards the side plate 102 of the container 100, whereby the end of the first bracket portion 111 away from the side plate 102 (or the end provided with the hinge 113) is raised, and further the second bracket portion 112 pivots in the opposite direction, and when the pivoting is completed, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the end of the second bracket portion 112 away from the hinge 113 abuts against the end of the first bracket portion 111 away from the hinge 113.
[0058] In order to facilitate the cleaning of the flat floor 101 of the container 100 by the carrying bracket 110 in the folded state, it is preferred that a side fixing device 140 is provided on the side plate 102 for fixing the carrying bracket 110 in the folded state. The side fixing device 140 is located higher than the connecting seat 130, and in the folded state, the side fixing device 140 is connected to the carrying bracket 110. Specifically, the height of the side fixing device 140 is substantially equivalent to the height of the first bracket portion 111 after being raised.
[0059] Referring to Figure 8 , the side fixing device 140 comprises a recess portion 141 provided on the side plate 102, which has a recess recessed towards the outside of the container 100. A clamping portion 142 is pivotably provided in the recess of the recess portion 141. Exemplarily, one end of the clamping portion 142 can be connected to the recess portion 141 through a rotating shaft. The end of the clamping portion 142 forms a bent edge 143, for example, an L-shaped bent edge 143. In the folded state, the bent edge 143 of the clamping portion 142 is clamped in the gap between the first bracket portion 111 and the second bracket portion 112. Or, the L-shaped bent edge 143 hooks the gap between the first bracket portion 111 and the second bracket portion 112. Preferably, an operating portion 144 is provided on the clamping portion 142 to facilitate the operation of the operator.
