Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of container installation, and in particular to a guide rail frame which is convenient for rapid installation of a ship container. Background Art
[0002] In the modern shipping industry, container transportation is an important part of global logistics. In order to improve loading and unloading efficiency, ships are usually equipped with specially designed rail rack systems for quick installation and fixing of containers. However, in actual operation, ensuring that containers can be quickly and accurately aligned and installed in the specified position is a complicated process. Especially when faced with containers of different sizes and weights, how to achieve efficient and safe installation becomes a key issue.
[0003] Traditionally, fixed rails are usually used to guide the installation of containers. Although the structure is simple, it lacks flexibility and is difficult to adapt to containers of different sizes. It also lacks an effective automatic alignment mechanism, which often requires a certain gap to be reserved between the container and the rail for easy installation. This not only reduces the installation efficiency, but may also cause the rail to deform due to repeated impacts during long-term use, making it impossible for the rail to guide new containers in the future. Moreover, when the gap between the container and the rail is too large, the container may shake during the voyage of the ship, increasing safety risks. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantage that the gap between the container and the guide rail will cause the guide rail to deform due to repeated impacts during long-term use, the present invention provides a guide rail frame that is convenient for rapid installation of ship containers.
[0005] A guide rail frame for facilitating rapid installation of ship containers, comprising two connecting plates, at least one mounting plate fixedly connected between the two connecting plates, an entrance of the mounting plate being located at the top, the mounting plate on one side being fixedly connected to a fixed guide rail, each of the mounting plates being fixedly connected to a cylinder, a telescopic rod of the cylinder being slidably connected to a rack rack, a first spring being fixedly connected between the telescopic rod of the cylinder and an adjacent rack rack, each of the mounting plates being slidably connected to a sliding guide rail, the mounting plates being rotatably connected to at least one screw rod, the screw rod being threadedly connected to an adjacent sliding guide rail, the screw rod being fixedly connected to a gear, and the tooth surface of the rack rack meshing with the adjacent gear rod.
[0006] Further description, it also includes a guide block corresponding to the cylinder, the guide block is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod corresponding to the cylinder, the outer wall of the cylinder body of the cylinder is slidably connected with a push rod, the guide block is used to push the push rod to slide to the side away from the rack frame, an elastic telescopic rod is fixed between the mounting plate and the adjacent push rod, the side of the mounting plate close to the entrance is rotatably connected with a rotating plate, and the push rod is used to push and pull the rotating plate to rotate up and down to control the opening and closing of the entrance of the mounting plate.
[0007] Further description, it also includes a fixed guide block corresponding to the rack frame, the fixed guide block is fixedly connected to the corresponding rack frame, the fixed guide block is slidably connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder, a spiral groove is opened on the outer wall of the fixed guide block, the fixed guide block is threadedly connected to the guide block through the spiral groove, and the guide block is provided with a convex rod, which moves to contact the adjacent push rod.
[0008] Further description, it also includes a first latching tooth corresponding to the rotating plate, the first latching tooth is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating plate, a second latching tooth is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding guide rail close to the first latching tooth, and the first latching tooth rotates downward to engage with the adjacent second latching tooth.
[0009] Further description, it also includes a guide ring corresponding to the rack frame, the guide ring is fixedly connected to the corresponding rack frame, the guide ring is fixedly connected with a contact switch, the top of the mounting plate is fixedly connected with a warning light, and the contact switch is electrically connected to the warning light through a control module.
[0010] Further description, it also includes a pull rod corresponding to the cylinder, the pull rod is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod corresponding to the cylinder, the pull rod is slidingly connected to the adjacent pulling guide ring, a second spring is fixed between the pull rod and the adjacent pulling guide ring, and the pull rod moves to contact the adjacent contact switch.
[0011] Further description, it also includes a rotating rod, which is fixedly connected to the adjacent rotating plate. The fixed guide rail is slidably connected to a calibration plate, and the rotating rod is used to push and pull the calibration plate to slide along the fixed guide rail.
[0012] It is further explained that a movable groove is formed on one side of the calibration plate close to the rotating rod, and the calibration plate is movably connected to the rotating rod through the movable groove.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention drives the rack and the gear through the telescopic rod of the cylinder, so that the sliding guide rail moves closer to the container, ensuring that the gap between the container and the guide rails is eliminated, avoiding the existence of a gap between the container and the guide rails for easy installation, causing the guide rails to be deformed by impact, and the container is easy to align with the guide rails, which facilitates the rapid installation of the container. At the same time, through the buffer mechanism of the cylinder, that is, the first spring is set to prevent the breakage of related components caused by forced operation.
[0014] When the boxes of the container are arranged neatly vertically, the guide block and the fixed guide block move upward synchronously to push the push rod, so that the rotating plate rotates downward to close the entrance of the installation plate, thereby achieving a dust-proof effect. At the same time, by observing whether the rotating plate is closed, it can be intuitively judged whether the containers are arranged neatly when lowered. If not, it indicates that the containers are not arranged neatly, and the installation needs to be stopped and readjusted.
[0015] During the navigation of the ship, the present invention transmits the impact force of the container on the sliding guide rail when it shakes to the turning plate through the engagement of the first locking tooth and the second locking tooth, so as to share the impact force and prevent the sliding guide rail from being deformed.
[0016] When the light is bright, the arrangement of the containers can be judged by observing the state of the rotating plate without powering on, thus achieving a power saving effect. When the light is dark, the warning light can be powered on to control the flashing and sounding of the warning light to remind the operator that the containers are not aligned and need to be adjusted, thus adapting to various light conditions.
[0017] Through the design of the calibration plate, the present invention can lower the first container along it, which makes it convenient to quickly find the lowering reference point and improve the installation efficiency. At the same time, the rotating plate on the left side is used to drive the rotating rod to rotate downward, and the calibration plate is embedded in the fixed guide rail to prevent the calibration plate from breaking when it is hit by external force, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The present invention will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which currently preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown. However, the present invention may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided for thoroughness and completeness, and these embodiments fully convey the scope of the present invention to the skilled person.
[0032] Embodiment 1: A guide rail frame for facilitating rapid installation of a ship container, such as Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, it includes two connecting plates 101, and five mounting plates 102 are fixedly connected between the two connecting plates 101. The entrance of the mounting plate 102 is located at the top, and the left side of the leftmost mounting plate 102 is fixedly connected to a fixed guide rail 103, and the upper right part of each mounting plate 102 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 104, and the lower side of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 is slidably connected to a rack rack 105 along the up and down direction, and a first spring 106 is fixedly connected between the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 and the adjacent rack rack 105, and the right side of each mounting plate 102 is slidably connected to a sliding guide rail 107 along the left and right direction, and the right side of the mounting plate 102 is rotatably connected to an upper and lower screw rod 108, and the screw rod 108 is threadedly connected to the adjacent sliding guide rail 107, and the right end of the screw rod 108 is fixedly connected to a gear 109, and the tooth surface of the rack rack 105 is meshed with the adjacent gear 109.
[0033] Before installing the container, two such opposing guide rail frames are first installed on the ship. During installation, a container is first hoisted from the entrance of the leftmost mounting plate 102 and lowered between the fixed guide rail 103 and the sliding guide rail 107, and then the remaining four containers are lowered from left to right in turn between the adjacent sliding guide rails 107, and then the telescopic rods of the five cylinders 104 are simultaneously controlled to retract upward. If the container bodies are arranged neatly vertically, the telescopic rods of the cylinders 104 drive the rack frame 105 to move upward through the first spring 106, and the rack frame 105 drives the screw 108 to rotate through the gear 109, so that the sliding guide rail 107 is brought closer to the container, which can eliminate the gap between the container and the guide rails, and the container and the guide rails are convenient to align.
[0034] If the boxes of the container are not arranged in the longitudinal direction, that is, some boxes are protruding, the cylinder 104 will first drive the sliding guide rail 107 to move closer to the container until the sliding guide rail 107 contacts the protruding box of the container. After that, since the container is very heavy, the cylinder 104 cannot continue to drive the sliding guide rail 107 to move. At this time, the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 can only move upward relative to the rack rack 105, and the first spring 106 is compressed, which plays a buffering protection effect to prevent related components from breaking due to forced operation.
[0035] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, it also includes a guide block 201 corresponding to the cylinder 104, the guide block 201 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod of the corresponding cylinder 104, a fixed guide block 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the rack frame 105, the fixed guide block 202 is slidably connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104, the outer wall of the fixed guide block 202 is provided with a spiral groove, the fixed guide block 202 is threadedly connected to the guide block 201 through the spiral groove, the outer wall of the cylinder body of the cylinder 104 is slidably connected to the push rod 203 in the up and down direction, and the guide block 202 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104. A convex rod is provided on the left side of 01. When the convex rod is located directly below the push rod 203, the convex rod moves upward and contacts the bottom of the adjacent push rod 203. The convex rod of the guide block 201 is used to push the push rod 203 to slide upward. An elastic telescopic rod 204 is fixed between the mounting plate 102 and the adjacent push rod 203. A rotating plate 205 is rotatably connected to the side of the mounting plate 102 close to the entrance. The push rod 203 is used to push and pull the rotating plate 205 to rotate up and down to control the opening and closing of the entrance of the mounting plate 102.
[0036] In the above process, if the container bodies are arranged neatly vertically, the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 contracts and drives the guide block 201 and the fixed guide block 202 to move upward synchronously as a whole, the convex rod of the guide block 201 moves upward and contacts with the push rod 203, and pushes the push rod 203 to move upward, the elastic telescopic rod 204 is stretched, and the push rod 203 pushes the rotating plate 205 to rotate downward to close the entrance of the mounting plate 102, thereby achieving a dust-proof effect; when the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 is extended and drives the guide block 201 and the fixed guide block 202 to move downward synchronously as a whole, the convex rod of the guide block 201 moves downward and disengages from the push rod 203, the elastic telescopic rod 204 is reset and drives the push rod 203 to move downward, and the push rod 203 pulls the rotating plate 205 to rotate upward to open the entrance of the mounting plate 102.
[0037] If the boxes of the container are not aligned longitudinally, when the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 moves upward relative to the rack frame 105, the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 drives the guide block 201 to move upward relative to the fixed guide block 202. Under the guiding action of the spiral groove, the guide block 201 rises and rotates at the same time, so that the convex rod of the guide block 201 is misaligned with the push rod 203. In this case, the convex rod of the guide block 201 will not contact the push rod 203 during the upward movement, so that the rotating plate 205 will not rotate downward to close the entrance of the installation plate 102. By observing that the rotating plate 205 is not closed, a detection effect can be achieved, indicating that the boxes of the container are not aligned longitudinally during installation, and it is necessary to stop the installation and readjust the container so that the boxes of the container are neatly arranged longitudinally before being lowered for installation.
[0038] Embodiment 2: Based on embodiment 1, Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, it also includes a first latching tooth 301 corresponding to the rotating plate 205 , the first latching tooth 301 is fixedly connected to the right side of the corresponding rotating plate 205 , a second latching tooth 302 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the sliding guide rail 107 , and the first latching tooth 301 rotates downward to engage with the adjacent second latching tooth 302 .
[0039] In the above process, if the rotating plate 205 rotates downward to close the entrance of the mounting plate 102, the rotating plate 205 drives the first latch tooth 301 to rotate downward until the tooth surface faces downward, thereby clamping the second latch tooth 302. Through the clamping action of the first latch tooth 301 and the second latch tooth 302, the impact force of the container on the sliding guide rail 107 when the container shakes during the navigation of the ship can be transmitted to the rotating plate 205, so that the rotating plate 205 can share the impact force, reduce the stress on the sliding guide rail 107, and prevent the sliding guide rail 107 from deformation.
[0040] like Fig.10 As shown, it also includes a guide ring 401 corresponding to the rack frame 105, the guide ring 401 is fixedly connected to the corresponding rack frame 105, the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 is fixedly connected with a pull rod 402, the pull rod 402 is slidably connected to the adjacent pulling guide ring 401, a second spring 403 is fixedly connected between the pull rod 402 and the adjacent pulling guide ring 401, a contact switch 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide ring 401, the pull rod 402 moves upward and contacts the adjacent contact switch 404, a warning light 405 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 102, and the contact switch 404 is electrically connected to the warning light 405 through a control module.
[0041] When the rotating plate 205 is rotated upward and opened, it is difficult to judge whether the containers are arranged neatly when being lowered by observing the rotating plate 205 in dim light scenes such as at night. Therefore, in this case, the contact switch 404 and the warning light 405 can be energized. Thereafter, when the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 moves upward relative to the rack frame 105, the telescopic rod of the cylinder 104 drives the pull rod 402 to slide upward relative to the guide ring 401, and the second spring 403 is compressed until the pull rod 402 moves upward to contact the contact switch 404. The contact switch 404 controls the warning light 405 to flash and sound through the control module, which serves as a warning to remind the operator that the vertical arrangement of the container bodies is not aligned, and the installation needs to be stopped and the container needs to be readjusted. In this way, observation through the rotating plate 205 when the light is bright can save electricity, and observation through the warning light 405 when the light is dim can be adapted to a variety of different occasions.
[0042] like Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, it also includes a rotating rod 501, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the adjacent rotating plate 205. The upper part of the fixed guide rail 103 is slidably connected with a calibration plate 502 in the up and down directions. A movable groove is opened on the side of the calibration plate 502 close to the rotating rod 501. The calibration plate 502 is movably connected to the rotating rod 501 through the movable groove, so that the rotating rod 501 can push and pull the calibration plate 502 to slide up and down along the fixed guide rail 103.
[0043] When lowering the container, the first container can be lowered along the calibration plate 502, so as to find the lowering reference point quickly and conveniently. When the rotating plate 205 on the left side rotates downward, the rotating rod 501 is driven to rotate downward, and the rotating rod 501 pulls the calibration plate 502 downward into the fixed guide rail 103 through the movable groove to prevent the calibration plate 502 from being broken by external impact during the navigation of the ship. When the rotating plate 205 on the left side rotates upward, the rotating rod 501 is driven to rotate forward, and the rotating rod 501 pushes the calibration plate 502 upward and extends out of the fixed guide rail 103 through the movable groove.
[0044] The above is a detailed introduction to the present application. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea. At the same time, for general technical personnel in this field, according to the idea of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
