[0062] To thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present application, a detailed structure will be provided in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present application may also include other embodiments.

[0063] First embodiment

[0064] This embodiment provides a locking rod device. The locking rod device can be used for a container. The container is a bulk container for transporting granular bulk cargo (such as powder). Please refer to Figures 1 to 15 The container includes a box body 130, a cover plate 190, and a seal (not shown). The box body 130 includes a base frame 131, vertical walls, and a top wall. The vertical walls include two end walls 140 and two side walls 150. The ends of the end walls 140 are connected to the ends of the side walls 150. The base frame 131, end walls 140, side walls 150, and top wall form a roughly six-sided rectangular parallelepiped structure.

[0065] Among them, Figure 1 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, end wall 140 includes an end wall frame and end wall panels 141. The end wall frame includes corner columns, a bottom end beam, and a top end beam. The corner columns, bottom end beam, and top end beam form a roughly rectangular frame. The frame also includes a reinforcing crossbeam. The length of the reinforcing crossbeam is parallel to the length of the bottom end beam. The reinforcing crossbeam is located between the bottom end beam and the top end beam. The two ends of the reinforcing crossbeam are respectively connected (e.g., welded) to the two corner columns. This increases the strength of end wall 140. End wall panels 141 are laid on the end wall frame. The lower end of end wall panels 141 has an opening.

[0066] The side wall 150 includes a side wall frame and side wall panels 151. The side wall frame includes corner posts, bottom side beams, and top side beams. The corner posts, bottom side beams, and top side beams form a generally rectangular frame. The side wall panels 151 are laid on the side wall frame.

[0067] End wall 140 can be a first vertical wall. Side wall 150 can be a second vertical wall. Thus, the first vertical wall is located at the end of box body 130. The second vertical wall is located on side wall 150 of box body 130. The plane of the first vertical wall and the plane of the second vertical wall are approximately perpendicular. Thus, end wall panel 141 is a first wall panel, and side wall panel 151 is a second wall panel.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 ,as well as Figures 12 to 14 , one end wall 140 is provided with a discharge port 142 at its opening. The discharge port 142 communicates with the interior space of the box body 130. A first end of the cover plate 190 is pivotally connected to the box body 130 so as to rotate between an open position for opening the discharge port 142 and a closed position for closing the discharge port 142. The pivot axis of the cover plate 190 extends along the height direction D3 of the box body 130. When the cover plate 190 closes the discharge port 142, the cover plate 190 presses the sealing member against the box body 130, thereby sealing the gap between the box body 130 and the cover plate 190. The locking rod device is used to lock the cover plate 190 that closes the discharge port 142 to the box body 130.

[0069] It is understood that in an embodiment not shown, the end wall may also be the second vertical wall, and the side wall may also be the first vertical wall. In this case, the first wall panel is the side wall panel, and the second wall panel is the end wall panel.

[0070] This article takes the case where the locking rod device is disposed in the box body 130 of the container as an example to describe various directions.

[0071] When it is necessary to open the discharge port 142, a worker first operates the locking lever device to apply a force to the cover plate 190 through the locking lever device, causing the cover plate 190 to rotate toward the open position. This force overcomes the force applied by the box body 130 through the sealing member to the cover plate 190, causing the cover plate 190 to rotate toward the open position by a predetermined initial angle, thereby preliminarily opening the cover plate 190. After the initial opening of the cover plate 190, the worker can manually flip the cover plate 190 to fully open the discharge port 142. This reduces the force required by the worker to initially open the cover plate 190, making the operation of opening the cover plate 190 easier.

[0072] like Figures 2 to 11 As shown, the locking rod device includes a locking rod 110. The locking rod 110 can be a rod-shaped structure. The locking rod 110 can be cylindrical, such as a round rod or a round tube. The locking rod 110 is used to be rotatably mounted on the end wall 140 of the box body 130. The length direction of the locking rod 110 is parallel to the height direction D3 of the box body 130. When the cover plate 190 closes the discharge port 142, the locking rod 110 is located on the side of the second end of the cover plate 190 away from the first end of the cover plate 190. Along the width direction D1 of the box body 130, the second end and the first end of the cover plate 190 are arranged to face each other.

[0073] The locking rod device also includes a pressing piece 111. One end of the pressing piece 111 is fixedly connected (for example, welded) to the outer peripheral surface of the locking rod 110. The other end of the pressing piece 111 is located on the outside of the locking rod 110. In this way, when the locking rod 110 rotates, the locking rod 110 drives the pressing piece 111 to rotate. When the cover plate 190 closes the discharge port 142, the pressing piece 111 can be rotated to the outside of the second end of the cover plate 190 away from the center of the box body 130 along the length direction D2 of the box body 130. In this way, continuing to rotate the locking rod 110 can cause the pressing piece 111 to press the second end of the cover plate 190 that closes the discharge port 142 against the box body 130, thereby locking the cover plate 190 that closes the discharge port 142 to the box body 130.

[0074] Please continue to refer to Figures 2 to 11 The locking rod device includes an actuator 120. The actuator 120 is movably connected to the locking rod 110. Specifically, the actuator 120 includes a sleeve 121 and a first actuator portion 122. One end of the first actuator portion 122 is fixedly connected (e.g., welded) to the outer circumference of the sleeve 121. The other end of the first actuator portion 122 is located outside the sleeve 121. The sleeve 121 is sleeved on the locking rod 110.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, the operating member 120 has a first state. When in the first state, the operating member 120 is connected to the locking lever 110. Thus, the locking lever 110 can drive the operating member 120 in the first state to rotate. The cover 190 closes the discharge port 142, and when the operating member 120 is in the first state, the free end of the first operating portion 122 is located on the inner side of the cover 190, near the center of the box body 130, along the longitudinal direction D2 of the box body 130.

[0076] So, please refer to Figures 4 to 9 When it is necessary to open the discharge port 142, during the initial opening of the cover 190, the operating member 120 is first placed in the first state. Then, the lock lever 110 is rotated, causing the first operating portion 122 to act on the second end of the cover 190, thereby applying a force to the second end of the cover 190. This force can cause the cover 190 to rotate toward the open position, thereby initially opening the cover 190. In this manner, during the initial opening of the cover 190, the operating member 120 applies a force to the second end of the cover 190, thereby initially opening the cover 190. This can reduce the force required by the operator during the initial opening of the cover 190, making the operation of opening the cover 190 easier.

[0077] In this embodiment, at the stage of initially opening the cover 190, the staff rotates the locking rod 110 to apply a force to the cover 190 through the action member 120, thereby initially opening the cover 190. This can reduce the force that the staff needs to apply at the stage of initially opening the cover 190, making the operation of opening the cover 190 easy.

[0078] Alternatively, as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the locking rod assembly further includes a mounting base 112. The mounting base 112 is fixedly connected (e.g., welded) to an end wall 140 of the housing 130. The mounting base 112 has a mounting hole. The locking rod 110 is rotatably inserted into the mounting hole. The locking rod assembly includes at least two mounting bases 112. The at least two mounting bases 112 are spaced apart along the height direction D3 of the housing 130. This provides a strong connection between the locking rod 110 and the housing 130.

[0079] Optionally, the pressing member 111 may be a flat plate structure, thereby making the structure of the pressing member 111 simple.

[0080] Alternatively, as Figure 7As shown, the operating member 120 has a second state. That is, the operating member 120 can switch between the first state and the second state. When the cover 190 is in the closed position and the operating member 120 is in the second state, the free end of the first operating portion 122 is located outside the second end of the cover 190. This prevents the first operating portion 122 from blocking the cover 190 in the closed position from rotating away from the open position, thereby allowing the pressing member 111 to press the cover 190 in the closed position against the box body 130.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 The sleeve 121 is movably mounted on the locking rod 110 along the length of the locking rod 110. Thus, the operating member 120 is movably disposed relative to the locking rod 110 along the length of the locking rod 110. Movement of the operating member 120 relative to the locking rod 110 along the length of the locking rod 110 enables the operating member 120 to switch between the first state and the second state. This simplifies the structure of the locking rod device.

[0082] Furthermore, if Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the sleeve 121 is rotatably mounted on the locking rod 110 to switch the operating member 120 between a first state and a second state. Thus, when the operating member 120 is in the first state, it can be moved along the length of the locking rod 110 to leave the second operating portion 192, which will be described later. The operating member 120 is then rotated through a predetermined switching angle and then moved along the length of the locking rod 110 to the second operating portion 192, which will be described later, to enter the second state. This further simplifies the structure of the locking rod device.

[0083] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the sleeve 121 has a notch 123 at its end along the length of the locking rod 110. The pressing member 111 can extend into the notch 123. When the pressing member 111 extends into the notch 123, the rotation of the locking rod 110 acts on the sleeve 121 through the pressing member 111, thereby driving the actuating member 120 to rotate. When the pressing member 111 leaves the notch 123, the actuating member 120 can rotate around the locking rod 110. When the pressing member 111 extends into the notch 123, the actuating member 120 is in the first state or the second state. This further simplifies the structure of the locking rod device.

[0084] It will be understood that in an embodiment not shown, the position of the actuating member in the first state and the position of the actuating member in the second state are spaced apart along the length of the lock rod. Along the length of the lock rod, the actuating member in the second state is separated from the second actuating portion described below. The actuating member in the first state and the actuating member in the second state may also be fixedly connected to the lock rod by a detachable pin extending through the lock rod and the sleeve.

[0085] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, there is a single notch 123. Notch 123 has an inner edge 124 and an outer edge 125 spaced circumferentially around the axis AX of sleeve 121. Along the circumferential direction around the axis AX of sleeve 121, the distance between inner edge 124 and outer edge 125 is greater than the thickness of pressing member 111. For example, along the circumferential direction around the axis AX of sleeve 121, the distance between inner edge 124 and outer edge 125 is greater than twice the thickness of pressing member 111. When pressing member 111 is located within notch 123, actuator 120 can rotate around locking bar 110 within a predetermined angular range.

[0086] like Figure 6 As shown, when the pressing member 111 abuts against the outer edge 125, the action member 120 is in the first state. At this time, the free end of the first action portion 122 is located on the inner side of the pressing member 111 near the center of the box body 130 along the length direction D2 of the box body 130.

[0087] like Figure 7 As shown, when the pressing member 111 abuts against the inner edge 124, the action member 120 is in the second state. Therefore, the structure of the sleeve 121 is simple.

[0088] Optionally, the notch 123 is located at the lower end of the sleeve 121. This allows the operating member 120, in the first position, to move upward away from the second operating portion 192 (described later). After rotating the operating member 120 to a predetermined switching angle, the operator releases the operating member 120. At this point, the operating member 120 moves downward to the second position under its own weight, thereby facilitating operation.

[0089] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the locking rod assembly further includes a handle 113 and a locking assembly 114. One end of the handle 113 is rotatably connected to the locking rod 110. The locking assembly 114 is disposed on the end wall 140 of the container 130. When the cover 190 is in the closed position, the locking assembly 114 is used to lock the handle 113 to prevent the locking rod 110 from rotating. The handle 113 and the locking assembly 114 can be the handle and the locking assembly of the existing container locking rod assembly and will not be described in detail here.

[0090] The present application also provides a container, which includes the aforementioned box body 130, a cover plate 190, and a locking rod device.

[0091] In this embodiment, the container includes the aforementioned locking rod device. In the stage of initially opening the cover 190, the staff rotates the locking rod 110 to apply a force to the cover 190 through the action member 120, thereby initially opening the cover 190. This can reduce the force that the staff needs to apply in the stage of initially opening the cover 190, and the operation of opening the cover 190 is easy.

[0092] like Figures 12 to 15 As shown, the box body 130 also includes a material guide plate 160. The material guide plate 160 includes a material guide body 161. The material guide body 161 is a continuous flat plate structure. As a result, the structure of the material guide body 161 is simple. The material guide plate 160 is located inside the box body 130. The plane where the material guide body 161 is located (that is, the plane where the material guide plate 160 is located) is inclined to the plane where the end wall 140 is located, and is inclined to the plane where the side wall 150 is located. In other words, the plane where the material guide body 161 is located is inclined to the longitudinal direction D2 of the box body 130. The plane where the material guide body 161 is located is inclined to the width direction D1 of the box body 130. In this way, the material guide plate 160 is inclined to the plane where the end wall 140 is located, and is inclined to the plane where the side wall 150 is located.

[0093] One end of the guide plate 160, along the length direction D2 of the box body 130, is connected to the inner side surface of the first wall of the end wall panel 141 (the inner surface of the end wall panel 141 near the center of the box body 130, along the length direction D2 of the box body 130). Along the width direction of the box body 130, the end of the guide plate 160, away from the side wall panel 151, extends to the discharge port 142. One end of the guide plate 160, along the width direction D1 of the box body 130, is connected to the inner side surface of the second wall of the side wall panel 151 (the inner surface of the side wall panel 151 near the center of the box body 130, along the width direction D1 of the box body 130).

[0094] Thus, when the box 130 is used to transport bulk cargo, the box 130 is tilted so that the end wall 140 of the box 130, away from the discharge port 142, is positioned higher than the end wall 140 where the discharge port 142 is located. At this point, the angle between the guide plate 160 and the horizontal plane is greater than the angle of repose of the bulk cargo. The guide plate 160 guides the bulk cargo in the box 130 to slide along the guide plate 160 toward the discharge port 142, thereby directing the cargo out of the discharge port 142 and facilitating the discharge of the bulk cargo. Furthermore, the provision of the guide plate 160, which shields the corners of the box 130, can reduce the accumulation of bulk cargo in the box 130.

[0095] Alternatively, as Figures 12 to 14As shown, the box 130 further includes a floor 132 mounted on the base frame 131. The floor 132 is a flat plate. A guide plate 160 is located above the floor 132. The lower end of the guide plate 160 is connected to the floor 132. The plane on which the guide plate 160 is located is inclined relative to the plane on which the floor 132 is located. In other words, the plane on which the guide plate 160 is located is inclined relative to the height direction D3 of the box 130.

[0096] Along the length direction D2 of the box body 130, the upper end of the material guide body 161 is bent and extended upward to form a first bent portion. The first bent portion is attached to and connected (for example, welded) to the inner side surface of the first wall of the end wall panel 141. Along the length direction D2 of the box body 130, the lower end of the material guide body 161 is bent and extended horizontally to form a second bent portion. The second bent portion is attached to and connected (for example, welded) to the upper surface of the floor 132. Along the width direction D1 of the box body 130, the upper end of the material guide body 161 is connected (for example, welded) to the side wall panel 151. The lower end of the material guide body 161 is connected (for example, welded) to the oblique edge 173 of the transition piece 170 described later.

[0097] Please continue to refer to Figures 12 to 14 The box body 130 further includes a transition piece 170. The transition piece 170 has a beveled edge 173. The beveled edge 173 is inclined in the same direction as the guide body 161. The beveled edge 173 is connected to the end of the guide plate 160 that is away from the side wall panel 151 along the width direction D1 of the box body 130. Along the length direction D2 of the box body 130, one end of the transition piece 170 extends to the end wall panel 141, and the other end extends to the floor 132. The top end of the beveled edge 173 extends to the top corner of the opening. This can reduce material accumulation at the connection between the floor 132 and the guide plate 160.

[0098] Furthermore, if Figure 14 As shown, the transition piece 170 includes a transition bottom plate 171 and a transition vertical plate 172. The plane where the transition bottom plate 171 is located is perpendicular to the height direction D3 of the box body 130. The plane where the transition vertical plate 172 is located is perpendicular to the width direction D1 of the box body 130. The bottom end of the transition vertical plate 172 is connected to the transition bottom plate 171. Along the length direction D2 of the box body 130, one end of the transition bottom plate 171 extends to the floor 132, and the other end of the transition bottom plate 171 extends to the end wall panel 141. The upper end of the transition vertical plate 172 is constructed as a bevel 173. Along the length direction D2 of the box body 130, one end of the transition vertical plate 172 extends to the end wall panel 141, and the other end extends to the floor 132. Therefore, the structure of the transition piece 170 is simple.

[0099] It should be noted that, in this context, "Part A extends to Part B" means that Part A contacts Part B. It can also mean that a very small gap exists between the adjacent end faces of Part A and Part B. For example, the width of the gap is less than 0.5 mm.

[0100] Optionally, the transition piece 170 includes two transition panels 172 spaced apart along the width direction D1 of the box body 130. The two transition panels 172 extend to the end wall panels 141. The box body 130 includes two material guide plates 160. The two side wall panels 151 of the box body 130 are respectively connected to the two material guide plates 160. The two material guide plates 160 are respectively connected to the two transition panels 172. This further reduces material accumulation in the box body 130.

[0101] Alternatively, as Figure 12 and Figure 15 As shown, the side wall panel 151 is a corrugated plate. The corrugated plate includes a groove inner plate. The corrugated plate has a groove 152 that is concave outward. The groove 152 includes a groove bottom wall 153 and a groove side wall 154. The first end of the groove side wall 154 is connected to the groove bottom wall 153. The second end of the groove side wall 154, which is opposite to the first end, is connected to the groove inner plate. Along the width direction D1 of the box body 130, the first end of the groove side wall 154 is farther away from the center of the box body 130 than the second end. Along the width direction D1 of the box body 130, the inner side surface of the groove inner plate close to the center of the box body 130 constitutes the inner top surface 155 of the corrugated plate.

[0102] Please continue to refer to Figure 15 The box body 130 further includes a connecting member 180. The connecting member 180 includes a connecting top surface 181 and a connecting inner vertical surface 182. The connecting top surface 181 is connected to the top end of the connecting inner vertical surface 182. The connecting member 180 is connected (e.g., welded) to the side wall panel 151. The connecting member 180 is located in the groove 152. The connecting inner vertical surface 182 is flush with the inner top surface 155 of the corrugated plate (a plurality of inner top surfaces 155 constitute the inner side surface of the second wall).

[0103] Along the width direction D1 of the box body 130, the end of the guide plate 160 away from the transition piece 170 is a guide edge 162. The guide edge 162 is attached to and connected to the inner top surface 155. The guide edge 162 is attached to and connected (e.g., welded) to the portion below the top end of the inner facade 182. This reduces the gap between the guide plate 160 and the side wall panel 151, reducing material accumulation.

[0104] like Figure 12 and Figure 15 As shown, the end wall panel 141 is a flat plate. This reduces the gap between the guide plate 160 and the end wall panel 141, reducing material accumulation. In addition, the arrangement of the connecting inner facade 182 flush with the inner top surface 155 of the corrugated plate facilitates the installation of the guide plate 160.

[0105] Alternatively, as Figure 15As shown, the connecting top surface 181 of the container 143 is inclined relative to the height direction D3 of the container 130. Along the width direction D2 of the container 130, the top of the connecting top surface 181 is further away from the center of the container 130 than its bottom. The angle between the connecting top surface 181 and the horizontal plane is greater than the angle of repose of the bulk cargo. This reduces material accumulation at the connecting top surface 181.

[0106] Optionally, please continue to refer to Figure 15 The connecting member 180 is a sheet metal member formed by bending a plate. The connecting member 180 includes a connecting vertical plate with a connecting inner vertical surface 182 and a top plate with a connecting top surface 181. Therefore, the structure of the connecting member 180 is simple.

[0107] Furthermore, connector 180 also includes a connecting base plate. The connecting base plate is connected to the bottom end of the connecting vertical plate. The groove bottom wall 153 and groove sidewalls 154 are respectively connected to the bottom plate, the connecting vertical plate, and the top plate. Thus, connector 180 can be a C-shaped structure, thereby enhancing its strength.

[0108] Optionally, the container further includes a sealant. The sealant may be a sealing strip. The sealant is connected to the cover plate 190. When the cover plate 190 closes the discharge port 142, the cover plate 190 presses the sealant against the container 130. Thus, the sealant abuts the container 130 and the cover plate 190, sealing the gap between the container 130 and the cover plate 190.

[0109] Alternatively, as Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the cover plate 190 includes a door body 191 and a second acting portion 192. One end of the door body 191 is rotatably connected to the box body 130 for opening or closing the discharge port 142. The second acting portion 192 is connected to the other end of the door body 191. The second acting portion 192 extends to the side of the door body 191 away from the pivot position of the door body 191 and the box body 130. When the cover plate 190 is in the closed position and the acting member 120 is in the first state, the first acting portion 122 is arranged on the inner side of the second acting portion 192 along the length direction D2 of the box body 130. When the cover plate 190 is in the closed position, the pressing member 111 is used to press the second acting portion 192 to lock the cover plate 190 to the box body 130. As a result, the structure of the cover plate 190 is simple.

[0110] Furthermore, the second actuating portion 192 can be a gripping portion formed by bending a round bar. For example, the gripping portion can be roughly C-shaped. There can be at least one second actuating portion 192. There can also be at least one pressing member 111 provided on the locking bar 110. There is a one-to-one correspondence between at least one second actuating portion 192 and at least one pressing member 111. The pressing member 111 is used to compress the corresponding second actuating portion 192.

[0111] It can be understood that in an embodiment not shown, the second acting portion may also be a plate connected to the body.

[0112] Optionally, along the width direction D1 of the box body 130, the discharge port 142 is located approximately in the middle of the end wall 140. The discharge port 142 is located at the lower end of the end wall 140. The discharge port 142 is located above the bottom crossbeam. Along the width direction D1 of the box body 130, the size of the discharge port 142 is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the width of the box body 130. Along the height direction D3 of the box body 130, the size of the discharge port 142 is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the height of the box body 130.

[0113] Alternatively, refer to Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 14 The end wall 140 further includes a protruding portion. The protruding portion includes a connecting wall and a protruding wall 133. The connecting wall is located in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the protruding wall 133 and is connected to the protruding wall 133. The connecting wall is attached to and connected (e.g., welded) to the outer side surface of the end wall panel 141 along the length direction D2 of the box body 130, away from the center of the box body 130. The protruding wall 133 is located on the side of the connecting wall away from the end wall panel 141.

[0114] The end of the transition vertical plate 172 away from the floor 132 and the end of the transition bottom plate 171 away from the floor 132 both extend into a protruding opening. The portion of the transition vertical plate 172 that protrudes from the end wall panel 141 away from the floor 132 extends along the length direction D2 of the box body 130. The upper edges of the transition vertical plate 172 away from the floor 132, the transition bottom plate 171 away from the floor 132, the protruding wall 133, and the end wall panel 141 that form the opening enclose a roughly rectangular channel. This channel forms the discharge port 142. When the cover plate 190 is in the closed position, the cover plate 190 presses the seal against the end of the transition vertical plate 172 away from the floor 132, the end of the transition bottom plate 171 away from the floor 132, and the free end of the protruding wall 133. As a result, the seal can more effectively seal the gap between the cover plate 190 and the box body 130.

[0115] Second embodiment

[0116] In the second embodiment, if Figure 16As shown, the notch includes a first notch 223 and a second notch 224 that are circumferentially spaced apart around the axis of the sleeve 221. Along the circumferential direction around the axis of the sleeve, the size of the first notch 223 and the size of the second notch 224 are both smaller than the size of the notch 123 of the first embodiment. Along the circumferential direction around the axis of the sleeve 221, the size of the first notch 223 and the size of the second notch 224 are both slightly larger than the thickness of the pressing piece. When the pressing piece extends into the first notch 223, the active member can rotate within a smaller angular range, and the active member is in the second state. When the pressing piece extends into the second notch 224, the active member can rotate within a smaller angular range, and the active member is in the first state. As a result, the strength of the sleeve 221 is high.
