Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of road transport equipment technology, and in particular to a dry cargo container for road transport. Background Technology

[0002] Dry cargo containers for road transport are cargo containers used for road transport, typically for transporting dry goods such as clothing, shoes, and electronic products.

[0003] Without cranes or forklifts or other loading and unloading equipment, loading and unloading operations may require the cooperation of multiple workers. This means that at least one worker needs to receive the goods inside the container while the others lift the goods from under the vehicle. This is not only time-consuming but also extremely labor-intensive.

[0004] To address these issues, we propose a dry cargo container capable of semi-automatic loading and unloading. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dry cargo container for road transport. By installing a loading and unloading mechanism inside the container, the loading and unloading of goods can be carried out semi-automatically, thereby effectively reducing the time and human resources wasted in loading and unloading goods.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes the following solution:

[0007] A dry cargo container for road transport includes a container assembly, the container assembly including a bottom plate, a left side plate, a right side plate and a top plate, a drive mechanism is provided on the side surface of the left side plate, the drive mechanism is provided with a threaded rod and a moving block, and a loading and unloading mechanism is provided inside the container assembly.

[0008] The lower end of the loading and unloading mechanism is connected to a drive unit. The drive unit and the loading and unloading mechanism are integrally formed. A hydraulic cylinder is provided inside the drive unit. A piston rod is provided inside the hydraulic cylinder. The piston rod extends downward through the drive unit. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the lower end of the piston rod. A first support rod and a second support rod are fixedly connected to the side surface of the mounting base.

[0009] The outer surface of the second support rod is rotatably connected to a pivot, the pivot passes through the second support rod, and a push rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pivot.

[0010] The upper surface of the base plate is provided with a storage groove, the size of which is adapted to the size of the first support rod and the second support rod.

[0011] The surface of the right side plate is provided with a first sliding groove, and a first slider is slidably connected inside the first sliding groove. The side of the first slider is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, which can snap-fit ​​with the push rod.

[0012] A second sliding groove is provided on the left side of the lower surface of the top plate, and a second slider is slidably connected inside the second sliding groove. The lower surface of the second slider is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0013] The drive mechanism has a drive groove on its side surface that extends into the interior of the container. An electric motor is mounted on the front surface of the drive mechanism. The electric motor passes through the drive groove and is connected to a threaded rod. A moving block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod. The side surface of the moving block is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0014] The present invention provides a technical solution, a method for implementing a dry cargo container for road transport, comprising the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: During loading, the motor is driven first, which rotates the threaded rod, thereby moving the moving block forward. When the moving block reaches the front of the drive slot, the loading / unloading mechanism moves out of the container. Figure 5 As shown;

[0016] Step 2: Drive the hydraulic cylinder inside the drive unit to lower the mounting seat to below the truck via the piston rod. At this time, the workers can move the goods to the upper surface of the first and second support rods.

[0017] Step 3: Drive the hydraulic cylinder inside the drive unit again to raise the mounting seat through the piston rod. The rise of the mounting seat can then drive the cargo to the door of the container through the first and second support rods.

[0018] Step 4: At this point, staff can move the goods into the interior of the container, thus achieving semi-automated handling and reducing lifting actions. When unloading, simply reverse the above steps.

[0019] Step 5: After the goods are moved into the container, the loading and unloading mechanism can be retracted. Then, the staff can stand at the container door and rotate the push rod inside the second support rod through the pivot. Then, the front end of the push rod is inserted into the locking slot to lock the push rod into the locking slot. Then, the motor is driven again, which drives the loading and unloading mechanism to move backward through the threaded rod and the moving block. This allows the second support rod and the push rod to push the goods to the innermost part of the container, thus achieving automated goods pushing and saving labor costs.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] (1) A dry cargo container for road transport according to the present invention, when loading and unloading goods is required, the loading and unloading mechanism can be moved out of the container body by the drive mechanism first, and then the hydraulic cylinder inside the drive unit is driven to drive the piston rod to extend the mounting seat downward to the ground under the truck, such as Figure 5 As shown, ground staff can move the goods to the upper surfaces of the first and second support rods, and then drive the hydraulic cylinders again to raise the goods to the container door. Finally, staff inside the container can move the goods inside to complete the loading and unloading process. The unloading principle is the same, thus achieving semi-automatic loading and unloading, which greatly saves loading and unloading time, reduces the labor intensity of staff, and increases the overall practicality.

[0022] (2) In the present invention, when the goods have been loaded into the interior of the container, the loading and unloading mechanism is first retracted to the interior door of the container. Then, the staff can stand at the door and rotate the push rod inside the second support rod to the inside of the locking groove through the rotating shaft to realize the locking and fixing of the push rod with the first slider. Then, the motor is driven, and the motor drives the threaded rod to rotate. The moving block drives the loading and unloading mechanism to move backward, so that the second support rod and the push rod can push the goods at the door to the innermost part of the container, so as to realize the automated internal pushing of goods, which also greatly saves manpower and increases the overall practicality.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-7 A dry cargo container for road transport includes a container assembly 1. The container assembly 1 includes a bottom plate 11, a left side plate 12, a right side plate 13, and a top plate 14. A drive mechanism 2 is provided on the side surface of the left side plate 12. The drive mechanism 2 has a threaded rod 23 and a moving block 24 inside. A loading and unloading mechanism 3 is provided inside the container assembly 1. The lower end of the loading and unloading mechanism 3 is connected to a drive unit 31. The drive unit 31 and the loading and unloading mechanism 3 are integrally formed. A hydraulic cylinder is provided inside the drive unit 31. A piston rod 32 is provided inside the hydraulic cylinder and extends downward. The lower end of the piston rod 32 in the drive unit 31 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 33. A first support rod 34 and a second support rod 35 are fixedly connected to the side surface of the mounting base 33. A rotating shaft 351 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second support rod 35, passing through the second support rod 35. A push rod 352 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 351. When loading or unloading goods, the loading / unloading mechanism 3 can be moved out of the container assembly 1 by the drive mechanism 2, and then the hydraulic cylinder inside the drive unit 31 is driven to cause the piston rod 32 to drive the mounting base 33 to extend downwards to below the truck near the ground. Figure 5 As shown, ground staff can move the goods to the upper surfaces of the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35, and then drive the hydraulic cylinder again, which will cause the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35 to lift the goods to the door of the container 1. Finally, the staff inside the container 1 will move the goods into the container 1 to complete the loading. The unloading principle is the same, thus realizing semi-automatic loading and unloading of goods.

[0033] Furthermore, a storage groove 111 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate 11. The size of the storage groove 111 is adapted to the size of the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35. When in use, after the loading and unloading mechanism 3 has been used, the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35 can be inserted downward into the storage groove 111 by the hydraulic cylinder, thereby avoiding the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35 occupying too much of the internal space of the container 1.

[0034] Furthermore, a first groove 131 is provided on the surface of the right side plate 13. A first slider 132 is slidably connected inside the first groove 131. A snap-fit ​​groove 1321 is provided on the side of the first slider 132. The snap-fit ​​groove 1321 can snap with the push rod 352. After the goods have been loaded into the interior of the container 1, the loading and unloading mechanism 3 is first retracted to the interior door of the container 1. Then, the staff can stand at the door and rotate the push rod 352 inside the second support rod 35 through the pivot 351 to the interior of the snap-fit ​​groove 1321, so that the push rod 352 is snapped and fixed with the first slider 132. Then, the motor 22 is driven, and the motor 22 drives the threaded rod 23 to rotate. Through the moving block 24, the loading and unloading mechanism 3 is moved backward, so that the second support rod 35 and the push rod 352 can push the goods at the door to the innermost part of the container 1.

[0035] Furthermore, a second slide groove 141 is provided on the left side of the lower surface of the top plate 14. A second slider 142 is slidably connected inside the second slide groove 141. The lower surface of the second slider 142 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the loading and unloading mechanism 3. In use, the fixed connection between the lower surface of the second slider 142 and the loading and unloading mechanism 3 can increase the stability of the loading and unloading mechanism 3 when it moves back and forth or loads and unloads goods.

[0036] Furthermore, a drive groove 21 is provided on the side surface of the drive mechanism 2, which extends into the interior of the container 1. An electric motor 22 is installed on the front surface of the drive mechanism 2. The electric motor 22 passes through the interior of the drive groove 21 and is connected to the threaded rod 23. A moving block 24 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 23. The side surface of the moving block 24 is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the loading and unloading mechanism 3. In use, the loading and unloading mechanism 3 can be moved back and forth by setting the drive mechanism 2. The drive groove 21 extending into the interior of the container 1 will not cause movement interference to the door of the container 1. Since the moving block 24 on the rear surface of the loading and unloading mechanism 3 is installed in a rear position, the loading and unloading mechanism 3 can extend out of the container 1.

[0037] The specific operation process is as follows: First step: During loading, the motor 22 is driven, which drives the threaded rod 23 to rotate, thereby driving the moving block 24 to move forward. When the moving block 24 moves to the front of the drive groove 21, the loading and unloading mechanism 3 moves out of the container body 1. Figure 5As shown; Step 2: Drive the hydraulic cylinder inside the drive unit 31 to lower the mounting seat 33 to below the truck via the piston rod 32. At this time, the workers can move the goods to the upper surface of the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35; Step 3: Drive the hydraulic cylinder inside the drive unit 31 to raise the mounting seat 33 via the piston rod 32. The rise of the mounting seat 33 can then lift the goods to the door of the container assembly 1 via the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35; Step 4: At this time, the workers can move the goods into the interior of the container assembly 1, thereby realizing semi-automatic handling of goods and reducing lifting actions. When unloading, simply reverse the above operation. Step 5: After the goods are moved into the container 1, the loading and unloading mechanism 3 can be retracted. Then, the staff can stand at the door of the container 1 and rotate the push rod 352 inside the second support rod 35 out through the pivot 351. Then, the front end of the push rod 352 is inserted into the locking groove 1321 to achieve the locking of the push rod 352 with the locking groove 1321. Then, the motor 22 is driven again, which drives the loading and unloading mechanism 3 to move backward through the threaded rod 23 and the moving block 24. This allows the second support rod 35 and the push rod 352 to push the goods to the innermost part of the container 1, thereby realizing automated goods pushing and saving labor costs.

[0038] In summary, the dry cargo container for road transport proposed in this invention involves the following steps during loading: First, the loading / unloading mechanism 3 is moved out of the container assembly 1 by the drive mechanism 2. Then, the hydraulic cylinder in the drive unit 31 drives the piston rod 32 to extend the mounting base 33 downwards to below the truck near the ground. Ground personnel move the goods to the upper surfaces of the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35. The hydraulic cylinder is then driven again, causing the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35 to lift the goods to the container door of the container assembly 1. Finally, personnel inside the container assembly 1 move the goods inside, completing the loading process. The unloading process is the same. Furthermore, a storage groove 111 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate 11, its size adapted to the size of the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35. After use, the first support rod 34 and the second support rod 35 can be moved back into the container assembly by the hydraulic cylinder. The rod 35 is inserted downward into the storage slot 111, thereby saving internal space of the container 1. The surface of the right side plate 13 is provided with a first sliding groove 131, in which a first slider 132 is slidably connected. The side of the first slider 132 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 1321, which can be snapped and fixed with the push rod 352, thereby pushing the goods to the innermost part of the container 1, further saving manpower. The left side of the lower surface of the top plate 14 is provided with a second sliding groove 141, in which a second slider 142 is slidably connected. The lower surface of the second slider 142 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the loading and unloading mechanism 3 to increase the stability of the loading and unloading mechanism 3. This dry cargo container for road transport achieves semi-automatic loading and unloading operations through the coordinated cooperation of the drive mechanism 2, hydraulic system and various connecting parts, thereby effectively reducing the intensity of manual labor and improving the efficiency of loading and unloading.
