Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation technology, and in particular to a transportation method that shares the capacity of tanker transport equipment and platform transport equipment. Background Technology

[0002] After transporting the loaded goods to their destination, the transport equipment needs to return to the origin. If there is no similar suitable cargo, it can only return empty. Specifically, dry bulk transport equipment can only continue to load non-flowing solid cargo, while tank transport equipment can only load liquid, powder, or gaseous cargo. The cargo loaded by the two types of transport equipment cannot be mixed. Therefore, it is very uneconomical to have no cargo on the return trip. It not only does not bring benefits, but also wastes transport capacity and increases costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above technical problems, this invention provides a transportation method that shares the capacity of tanker transport equipment and platform transport equipment, thereby improving capacity utilization and reducing transportation costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: This invention provides a transportation method for sharing the capacity of tanker transport equipment and platform transport equipment, comprising the following steps: For round-trip transportation between location A and location B, the goods to be transported from location A to location B are the first goods, which can be liquid, powder, or gaseous goods. The goods to be transported from location B to location A are the second goods, which are non-fluid solid goods. When transporting the first cargo from location A to location B, the tanker transport equipment containing the first cargo is fixed to the freight flatcar, and the empty platform transport equipment is stacked and fixed on top of the tanker transport equipment. The vehicle is then transported from location A to location B to retrieve the first cargo. When transporting the second cargo from location B to location A, the platform-type transport equipment containing the second cargo is fixed to the freight flatcar, and the empty tank-type transport equipment is stacked and fixed on top of the platform-type transport equipment.

[0018] 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.

[0019] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transportation method that shares the capacity of tanker transport equipment and platform transport equipment, thereby improving the utilization rate of transport capacity and reducing transportation costs.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a transportation method in which tanker transport equipment 1 and platform transport equipment 2 share transport capacity, including the following steps: conducting round-trip transportation between location A and location B, wherein the goods to be transported from location A to location B are the first goods, which are liquid goods, powder goods or gaseous goods, and the goods to be transported from location B to location A are the second goods 3, which are non-flowing solid goods.

[0022] When transporting the first cargo from location A to location B, the tank transport equipment 1 containing the first cargo is fixed to the freight flatcar, and the empty platform transport equipment 2 is stacked and fixed on top of the tank transport equipment 1. The vehicle then travels from location A to location B to retrieve the first cargo.

[0023] When transporting the second cargo 3 from location B to location A, the platform-type transport equipment 2 containing the second cargo 3 is fixed on the freight flatcar, and the empty tank-type transport equipment 1 is stacked and fixed on top of the platform-type transport equipment 2. The vehicle is then transported from location B to location A to retrieve the second cargo 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, when transporting the first cargo from location A to location B, the tanker transport equipment 1 loaded with the first cargo and the empty platform transport equipment 2 are stacked and transported. When transporting the second cargo 3 from location B to location A, the platform transport equipment 2 loaded with the second cargo 3 and the empty tanker transport equipment 1 are stacked and transported. By stacking the tanker transport equipment 1 and the platform transport equipment 2, both types of transport equipment only need to occupy one loading position on the freight flatcar during the round-trip cargo transportation process. This achieves the sharing of transport capacity between the tanker transport equipment and the platform transport equipment, improving the utilization rate of transport capacity and reducing transportation costs.

[0025] Specifically, the transport system moves from point A to point B, sequentially lifting off platform transport equipment 2 and tank transport equipment 1, and removing the first cargo. Then, it moves from point B to point A, sequentially lifting off tank transport equipment 1 and platform transport equipment 2, and removing the second cargo 3.

[0026] In this specific embodiment, the first cargo is an oil product, and the second cargo 3 is a metal plate product. Specifically, the second cargo 3 includes multiple cargo units 31, and each cargo unit 31 includes multiple metal plates that are stacked sequentially and bundled together.
