Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cargo transportation and storage technology, and more specifically, to an inter-island logistics hoisting container. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional hoisting crates have fundamental flaws in their sealing design. The seal between the lid and body relies on a single rubber sealing strip or metal fastening structure, with the sealing surfaces often being flat. In high-humidity, high-salt-spray environments such as oceans and islands, rubber sealing strips are susceptible to corrosion, aging, hardening, or cracking, leading to decreased sealing adhesion. Simultaneously, metal fastening structures are prone to rust and jamming after prolonged use, making it impossible to consistently apply uniform fastening force. This creates tiny gaps between the lid and body, which, though imperceptible to the naked eye, are enough to trap contaminated materials. Corrosive marine gases can seep into the container, causing chemical corrosion or performance degradation to sensitive goods such as pharmaceuticals and electronic components. The sealing performance of existing hoisting containers is significantly affected by structural deformation. When the hoisting container is subjected to impact during loading and unloading, the container body is prone to slight deformation, causing the originally fitting sealing surfaces to misalign, further widening the sealing gap, allowing corrosive gases from the outside to seep into the container body and damage the goods inside.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes an inter-island logistics hoisting container. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide an inter-island logistics hoisting box.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an inter-island logistics hoisting box, comprising a box body, the box body being composed of a bottom plate, a top plate, and side plates, forming a cavity with five closed sides and one open side. A box lid is movably provided on the open side of the box body, and an abutment groove is provided on the open side for the box lid to be fastened. The box lid is fastened to the box body through the abutment groove, thereby forming a sealed space inside the box body. The cavity is used to store goods. The box body is provided with a support plate corresponding to the position of the box lid. The support plate is arranged around the box body, and an opening is formed inside the support plate for the box lid to pass through. When the box lid is fastened to the box body, the box lid is located between the support plate and the box body. An airbag A is arranged around the support plate. The airbag A is located inside the support plate on the side corresponding to the box lid, and the part of the box lid that contacts the airbag A is designed as a cross-section. An air pump is installed on the box body. The air pump's air outlet is connected to the airbag A through an air pipe. The air pump delivers gas into the airbag A, causing the airbag A to expand towards the box lid. The airbag A compresses the box lid and presses it tightly against the abutment groove. An airbag B is installed inside the box body. The airbag B is connected to the air pump through an air pipe. After the airbag B is inflated, it can press against the surface of the goods. The expansion of the airbag B can also compress the internal space of the cavity, increase the air pressure inside the box body, and form a pressure difference between the inside and outside.

[0006] Furthermore, a connecting rod is provided between the box lid and the box body. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the box body, and the other end is rotatably connected to the box lid, so that the box lid can be opened and closed by rotating around the box body through the connecting rod. The box lid can also be deflected based on the connecting rod so that the entire box lid is pressed against the abutment groove when the airbag A is squeezed.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a pressure sensor and a controller. The pressure sensor is respectively installed inside and outside the box body, and the pressure sensor is connected to the controller. The controller can receive the air pressure data monitored by the pressure sensor, and issue a prompt when the air pressure inside the box body fluctuates outside the preset range.

[0008] Furthermore, the airbag B is disposed on the top plate and the side plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the airbag B is also disposed on the base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the airbag B is configured to cover or surround the area.

[0011] Furthermore, an airbag C is provided inside the box body, and the airbag C is disposed opposite to the box body. The airbag C is connected to the air pump through an air pipe. After the airbag C is inflated, it can form a partition between the goods.

[0012] Furthermore, an airbag D is provided inside the box body, and multiple buckles are provided on the airbag D, and a lock is provided on the inner wall of the box body to connect with the buckles.

[0013] Furthermore, the air pump is provided with multiple air inlets, each of which is connected to an air pipe. The air pump is also provided with a valve and a pressure sensor for each air inlet. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The controller has a preset pressure range. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure of the corresponding air inlet reaches the preset range, it controls the corresponding valve to close to stop the air supply.

[0014] Furthermore, a tracker is installed on the box body for real-time positioning.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention significantly improves the sealing performance of transport containers, addressing the sealing shortcomings of traditional hoisting containers through a multi-dimensional sealing structure and air pressure regulation mechanism: Airbag A, in conjunction with the contact groove, ensures a tight fit between the lid and the container body; the added elastic element (rubber pad or inflatable sealing pad) in the contact groove further strengthens the seal; the rotating connection design of the connecting rod prevents sealing failure at the hinge; Airbag B inside the container, when inflated, not only protects the goods but also compresses the internal air to increase the air pressure, creating a pressure difference with the outside. Even if there are tiny gaps in the container body, the high internal pressure can prevent corrosive gases from entering; The combination of pressure sensors and controllers can monitor the internal and external air pressure in real time, promptly alerting staff in case of abnormalities. During maintenance, the internal air pressure can also prevent outside air from flowing in, providing double protection for the safety of the goods. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides an inter-island logistics hoisting container, including a container body. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 2The container body includes a bottom plate, a top plate, and side plates. These plates form a cavity with five closed sides and one open side, which can be used to store goods. A lid is located on the open side of the container body, and the lid is movably mounted on the container body, fastening to the open side. This creates a sealed space inside the container. To reduce the gap between the lid and the container body, an abutment groove is provided on the container body. The size of the abutment groove matches the lid. The abutment groove can be located on the bottom plate, side plate, or top plate, depending on the actual needs. The following explanation uses an example of an abutment groove located on one of the side plates.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 The box body has a support plate corresponding to the position of the lid, which is arranged around the box and forms an opening inside for the lid to pass through. When the lid is fastened into the contact groove, the lid is located between the support plate and the side plate. An airbag A is located on the inner side of the support plate corresponding to the lid, and the part of the lid that contacts airbag A is designed with a cut surface, so that when airbag A contacts the lid, it contacts a flat surface for better contact. An air pump is installed on the box body, and the air pump's air inlet is connected to an air pipe. The other end of the air pipe is connected to airbag A, allowing gas to be delivered into airbag A, causing it to inflate. Because the other side of airbag A is restricted by the support plate, airbag A can only inflate towards the lid, thus contacting the cut surface of the lid, compressing the lid, and making it fit tightly against the contact groove. This fits the lid and reduces the gap between them, providing continuous pressure to the lid without the need for additional equipment to secure it. This enhances the internal sealing of the box body.

[0025] Meanwhile, airbag A fits snugly against the lid, creating a barrier between the outside and the main body of the box, further enhancing the sealing effect of the box.

[0026] Additionally, an elastic element similar to a rubber pad (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the contact groove. When the lid is compressed by airbag A, the compressive force is transferred to the rubber pad, compressing it and reducing the gap between the lid and the contact groove. Alternatively, an inflatable sealing gasket (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the contact groove. The inflatable sealing gasket is also connected to an air pump via an air pipe. Simultaneously inflating the inflatable sealing gasket and airbag A causes the lid to be compressed from three sides, further enhancing the sealing performance at the connection between the lid and the container body. Especially in marine and island areas, when transporting goods, compared to traditional hoisting containers, it can greatly improve the internal sealing performance, preventing corrosive gases from the ocean from entering the container and contaminating the internal goods. This is particularly effective in the transportation of pharmaceuticals and hazardous materials.

[0027] In the aforementioned design, the lid is directly hinged to the body of the box. This hinge is fixed, preventing the lid from moving even when compressed by airbag A, ensuring it remains firmly within the contact groove. In contrast, a connecting rod is added between the lid and body. One end of the rod rotatably mounts on the body, while the other end rotatably mounts on the lid. This allows the lid to rotate relative to the body, enabling opening and closing. Pushing the lid allows it to engage within the contact groove. Because the lid is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, it can deflect. When compressed by airbag A, the entire circumference of the lid remains firmly pressed against the contact groove, preventing issues with the internal sealing of the box due to insufficient compression at the hinge.

[0028] In summary, by using airbag A to compress the lid, the gap between the lid and the box body can be further reduced, improving the overall sealing effect. Based on the above solution, airbag B is also installed inside the box body. Airbag B is located on the inner wall of the box body, specifically on the top and side panels. Whether or not it is installed on the bottom panel can be selected according to actual needs. Airbag B is connected to an air pump via an air pipe, and the airbags B on the top, bottom, and side panels are isolated and individually connected to the air pump. After airbag B inflates, it comes into contact with the internal goods, pressing against the surface of the goods. This not only protects the goods but also, as the airbag expands, it compresses the air inside the box body, increasing the internal air pressure and creating a pressure difference with the outside. Even if gaps appear inside the box body, allowing air to flow between the inside and outside, the internal pressure will prevent outside air from entering. Pressure sensors can also be installed inside and outside the box body and connected to a controller. By monitoring the internal and external air pressure, significant fluctuations in the internal air pressure will alert the staff, allowing them to promptly detect any leaks in the box body's sealing effect. During the maintenance period, the gas inside the enclosure flows out through the gaps under the influence of internal pressure, preventing outside air from entering the enclosure and ensuring the safety of subsequent maintenance.

[0029] Due to the limited internal space of the container, and in order to protect the goods, an airbag C is installed inside the container. The airbag C is fixed inside the container, to the opposite side panel, top panel, or bottom panel. The airbag C is connected to an air pump through an air pipe. When air is injected into the airbag C, the airbag C expands and can separate the goods, preventing them from being squeezed together, thus protecting the goods. Even if the container is impacted, the internal airbags B and C can cushion the impact on the goods inside.

[0030] Because the dimensions of the goods are not fixed, multiple latches are installed inside the box to accommodate various cargo sizes. Airbag D is housed within the box, and it has multiple buckles. The latches engage with these buckles for secure installation. This allows staff to attach airbag D to any position within the box as needed. Airbag D is also connected to an air pump via an air tube. Once inflated, airbag D protects the cargo.

[0031] Furthermore, after airbags C and D inflate, they can further compress the space inside the box, compress the air inside the box, increase the air pressure inside the box, and further strengthen the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the box.

[0032] The air pump has multiple air inlets, each connected to an air pipe. The air pump is an integrated design, with a valve for each air inlet. Each air inlet is also equipped with an independent pressure sensor. These pressure sensors monitor the pressure value at each air inlet. These pressure sensors are connected to a controller, which allows setting a pressure range. When a pressure sensor detects that the pressure value has reached the preset range, it closes the valve on that air inlet, stopping the gas input and preventing airbags A, B, C, and D from over-inflating and damaging the internal goods or equipment.

[0033] In addition, the air pump is connected to the inside of the container through an air pipe. When the cargo transported inside the container is large, the empty space inside the container is small. At this time, the volume of airbags B, C and D after inflation is limited, which may prevent the pressure difference between the inside and outside from reaching the target value. In this case, the air pump can inject gas into the container through the air pipe to increase the gas content inside the container and enhance the air pressure inside the container, thereby forming a pressure difference with the outside.

[0034] It is important to note that the operation of injecting gas into the container via the air pump requires operator confirmation. This is to prevent corrosive gases from entering the container during transport when the system automatically injects gas to maintain internal pressure. The air inlets connected to airbags A, B, C, and D are intelligently monitored by the controller. When sensors detect a decrease in pressure, feedback is sent to the controller, which then instructs the air pump to deliver the specified gas. Even during transport, the gas delivered by the air pump to airbags A, B, C, and D is contained within these airbags and will not come into contact with the goods inside the container, thus preventing any impact on the contents.

[0035] Since airbag A will be in contact with outside air, to prevent corrosive gases from affecting its service life, the material of airbag A is preferably a corrosion-resistant material, especially resistant to... To prevent corrosion, neoprene rubber is preferred. Airbag B can cover the interior of the box body or be arranged around it.

[0036] To enhance the strength and reduce the weight of the transport container, the body is preferably made of aluminum foam. Due to the low density of aluminum foam, the container can float if accidentally dropped into the sea. The welded joints of the container body are preferably sealed reliably using hot-melt welding or high-quality waterproof tape (such as butyl tape) to ensure absolute watertightness. The inflated air bladder A also provides a seal between the lid and the container body, ensuring watertightness. Lifting points are also provided on the container body for easy transport by cranes or drones. A tracker can also be installed inside the container for real-time positioning. To complement the tracker and controller, a solar power system and a storage battery can be installed on the surface of the container to extend mission duration.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement the present invention based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, any modifications, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
