[0017] The present application will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] In the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, they are only for the convenience of describing this application, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-6 This application provides an embodiment of a side door 6 opening and closing drive support device, including a drive support device body 1 with a drive rod 101 and a sliding sleeve 2. The sliding sleeve 2 defines a sliding cavity 201 inside. One end of the drive rod 101 is connected to a sliding member 3. The sliding member 3 is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity 201. A guide member 4 is inserted radially into the sliding member 3. The sliding sleeve 2 defines at least one axially extending guide groove 202. The guide member 4 is slidably inserted into the guide groove 202. The inner diameter of the sliding sleeve 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the drive support device body 1. After the side door 6 is closed, when the drive support device body 1 fails, the sliding sleeve 2 can still move because it is slidably connected to the sliding member 3, allowing the operator to easily open the side door 6. This prevents the side door 6 from being unable to be opened after the drive support device body 1 fails. The guide member 4 and the guide groove 202 ensure the stability of the sliding sleeve 2 during movement and prevent the sliding sleeve 2 and the sliding member 3 from rotating relative to each other during operation.

[0020] The drive support device body 1 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.

[0021] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the guide member 4 passes through one end of the drive rod 101, and the drive rod 101 is connected to the slider 3 through the guide member 4. The guide member 4 not only serves as a guide but also as a connector, eliminating the need for additional fasteners to connect the drive rod 101 and the slider 3. Furthermore, the slider 3 has a central insertion hole 301, and one end of the drive rod 101 is located in the insertion hole 301. One end of the drive rod 101 has a first through hole 1011 that passes through it radially, and the slider 3 has a second through hole 302 that passes through it radially. The guide member 4 is inserted into the first through hole 1011 and the second through hole 302, thus connecting the slider 3 and the drive rod 101 together.

[0022] Alternatively, there may be two guide members 4 and two guide grooves 202. The guide members 4 may be radially inserted into the sliding member 3. In this case, one end of the drive rod 101 may be threaded, and the drive rod 101 may be threadedly connected to the sliding member 3. That is, the drive rod 101 may not be connected to the drive rod 101 through the guide member 4.

[0023] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the sliding member 3 matches the cavity wall of the sliding cavity 201. The shape of the sliding cavity 201 and the shape of the sliding member 3 can be set in various shapes. Specifically, in one embodiment, the sliding cavity 201 is a circular cavity, and the sliding member 3 is a circular slider. The sliding cavity 201 is coaxially arranged with the drive rod 101. This facilitates the coaxial arrangement of the drive support device body 1 and the sliding cavity 201, eliminates tangential force, and improves the sliding stability of the sliding member 3 and the sliding sleeve 2. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the sliding member 3 is a waist-shaped structure with a straight middle and semi-circular ends. The sliding cavity 201 matches the sliding member 3. The overall shape of the sliding sleeve 2 can also be set in various shapes such as cylindrical or square, but it is generally set in the common cylindrical shape.

[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the guide member 4 is a guide bolt, and the sliding member 3 is detachably connected to the drive rod 101 through the guide bolt. Alternatively, the guide member 4 can also be a guide pin. The structure is simple and easy to select and assemble.

[0025] like Figures 1-6As shown, the guide groove 202 is elongated, and there are two guide grooves 202 arranged opposite to each other. There is one guide member 4, with one end inserted into one of the guide grooves 202 and the other end inserted into the other guide groove 202. The elongated guide groove 202 has semi-circular ends, and the guide member 4 is generally cylindrical. The two have a high degree of matching, and the two guide grooves 202 are set to improve sliding stability.

[0026] This application also provides a tank container, including a tank body 5 and the aforementioned drive support device. The tank body 5 has an opening on one side, and the opening is equipped with an openable side door 6. The side door 6 is hinged to the tank body 5. One end of the sliding sleeve 2 is connected to the side door 6, and one end of the drive support device body 1 is connected to the tank 5. When the drive support device body 1 is working normally, when the side door 6 is closed, the guide member 4 and the guide groove 202 abut against the end of the drive support device body 1 away from it, and the drive support device body 1 is located inside the sliding sleeve 2. When the drive support device body 1 is opened, the drive rod 101 causes the sliding sleeve 2 to extend, thereby opening the side door 6 for easy access. When used as an exhibition container, it can also display the internal structure. When the side door 6 needs to be closed, the drive rod... 101 retracts, and guide 4 slides to the other end of guide groove 202. Since guide 4 does not abut against guide groove 202, sliding sleeve 2 will slide towards drive support device due to the weight of side door 6 until guide 4 abuts against guide groove 202 near drive support device body 1. Then, the staff pushes side door 6 until it is completely closed. After side door 6 is closed, if drive support device body 1 fails, drive rod 101 cannot extend. Since sliding block and sliding sleeve 2 are slidably connected, and sliding sleeve 2 is connected to side door 6, the staff only needs to pull side door 6, and sliding sleeve 2 can still move with side door 6. Guide 4 slides relative to guide groove 202, thereby opening side door 6 at a certain angle, making it convenient for personnel to enter for maintenance and replacement of drive support device body 1.

[0027] The side door 6 can be set on the upper side, lower side, both sides in the length direction, or both sides in the width direction of the tank body 5, depending on actual needs.

[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the inner wall of the tank 5 is connected to a connector. The end of the drive support device body 1 facing away from the sliding sleeve 2 is rotatably connected to the connector. The end of the sliding sleeve 2 facing away from the drive support device body 1 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side door 6. The connector includes a first connecting post 7 and a second connecting post 8 connected to the outer periphery of the first connecting post 7. The end of the drive support device body 1 facing away from the sliding sleeve 2 is rotatably connected to the second connecting post 8. The first connecting post 7 is connected to the inner wall of the tank 5. The structure is simple and practical.

[0029] Any numerical values ​​cited herein include all values ​​ranging from a lower limit to an upper limit, increasing by one unit, with at least two units between any lower and any higher value.
