[0051] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings show representative embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0052] The utility model provides a platform container.

[0053] See also Figures 1 to 4The platform container 1 may include a box body 10 and a storage device 20, wherein the storage device 20 is connected to the box body 10 and is used to store the corner connector 100. The storage device 20 includes a load-bearing member 21 and a limiting member 22, wherein the load-bearing member 21 has an opening 21a extending through in the vertical direction, and the opening is used for the end 101 of the corner connector 100 to extend through. The limiting member 22 is connected to the load-bearing member 21 and protrudes upward from the load-bearing member 21, and the limiting members 22 are arranged in pairs and are located on both sides of the opening 21a. The limiting members 22 are spaced apart from the opening 21a along a horizontal first direction D1 to lock the middle connecting portion 102 of the corner connector 100, and adjacent limiting members 22 are spaced apart along the first direction D1.

[0054] According to the platform container 1 of the present invention, by providing a storage device 20 to store the corner piece connector 100, it is possible to avoid the loss of the corner piece connector 100 and reduce the loss of the corner piece connector 100; and, by providing limiting components 22 on both sides of the opening 21a, the middle connecting portion 102 of the corner piece connector 100 can be fixed to avoid the corner piece connector 100 from falling due to the bumps of the box body 10 during container transportation.

[0055] It should be noted that, those skilled in the art are aware that the corner fitting connector 100 includes end caps 101 located at both ends in the axial direction and an intermediate connecting portion 102 connecting the two end caps 101. The end cap 101 has a non-circular radial cross-section. The end cap at the lower end of the corner fitting connector 100 can extend into the top corner fitting hole of the corner fitting of the lower platform container 1. The end cap 101 at the upper end of the corner fitting connector 100 can extend into the bottom corner fitting hole of the corner fitting of the upper platform container 1. After twisting by a predetermined angle (for example, 90 degrees), the radial length direction of the end cap 101 can be perpendicular to the length direction of the top corner fitting hole and the bottom corner fitting hole, thereby preventing the corner fitting connector from exiting the corner fitting and realizing the connection between the upper and lower platform containers 1.

[0056] In the present invention, the load-bearing member 21 has an opening 21a with a non-circular cross section for the end 101 of the corner connector 100 of the platform container 1 to extend through, and the cross-sectional shape of the opening 21a can be an oblong or rounded rectangular shape, etc. In addition, the examples of the present invention are upper and lower corner connectors 100, but the storage device 20 is not limited to the upper and lower corner connectors 100, and is also applicable to left and right corner connectors.

[0057] See also Figure 2 The storage device 20 further includes a mounting member 23, which is connected to the box body 10 and the bearing member 21, and the mounting member 23 is inclined or perpendicular to the bearing member 21. Figure 2In the embodiment, the mounting member 23 is perpendicular to the load-bearing member 21, and the load-bearing member 21 and the mounting member 23 are integrally formed. In order to further prevent the corner connector 100 from falling due to the bumps during the container transportation, the storage device 20 further includes a blocking member 24, which is connected to the load-bearing member 21. The blocking member 24 is spaced from the mounting member 23 along a horizontal second direction D2, and the second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1. The blocking member 24 protrudes upward from the load-bearing member 21, and the blocking member 24 is inclined or perpendicular to the load-bearing member 21. For example Figure 2 In the embodiment, the blocking member 24 is perpendicular to the bearing member 21 and may be connected to the bearing member 21 by welding.

[0058] Please continue reading Figure 2 The mounting member 23 protrudes upward from the bearing member 21, and the size of the mounting member 23 along the vertical direction DH is larger than the size of the blocking member 24 along the vertical direction DH. In an embodiment not shown, the mounting member 23 may be bent downward relative to the bearing member 21 and connected to the box body 10.

[0059] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 In order to improve the structural strength of the storage device 20, the storage device 20 further includes a reinforcing member 25, and the reinforcing member 25 is connected to the load-bearing member 21 and the mounting member 23. In addition, the reinforcing member 25 is generally configured as a rib plate with a triangular cross section, and is welded to the load-bearing member 21 and the mounting member 23. Further, along the first direction D1, the number of the reinforcing members 25 is at least two, and the at least two reinforcing members 25 are spaced apart along the first direction D1, for example Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the number of the reinforcing members 25 is two and they are spaced apart along the first direction D1.

[0060] Return to Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The box body 10 includes an end beam 12 and a side beam. Figure 1 The embodiment in which the storage device 20 is connected to the end beam 12 is shown. The end beam 12 extends along the width direction of the box body 10 and is connected to the corner pieces 11 at both ends. It can be understood that the side beams extend along the length direction of the box body 10. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the width direction of the box body 10 is the first direction D1, and correspondingly, the length direction of the box body 10 is the second direction D2. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the storage device 20 is connected to the end beam 12 and is located on the inner side of the end beam 12. In the embodiment not shown, the storage device 20 can also be connected to the side beam and is located on the inner side of the side beam. In this way, the storage device 20 does not protrude relative to the corner piece 11, ensuring that the normal use of the container is not affected.

[0061] Further, the end beam 12 may include a first web 121, a first upper wing 122, and a first lower wing 123. The first upper wing 122 is connected to the first web 121 obliquely or vertically and extends toward the outside of the box body 10. The first lower wing 123 is connected to the first web obliquely or vertically and extends toward the outside of the box body 10. The storage device 20 is connected to the first web 121 by welding or fasteners. It is easy to think that when the storage device 20 is installed to the side beam, the side beam can be constructed to include a second web, a second upper wing and a second lower wing. The second upper wing is connected to the second web obliquely or vertically and extends toward the outside of the box body 10, and accordingly, the second lower wing is connected to the second web obliquely or vertically and extends toward the outside of the box body 10. The storage device 20 is connected to the second web by welding or fasteners. In this way, the storage device 20 can be located in the accommodation space of the end beam 12 or the side beam to avoid convexity relative to the corner piece 11.

[0062] Of course, when the number of corner connectors 100 is large, correspondingly, multiple storage devices 20 can also be provided. The specific position of the storage device 20 in the box body 10 is not limited. Preferably, the storage device 20 is connected to the aforementioned end beam 12 and / or side beam.

[0063] According to the platform container 1 of the present invention, by providing a storage device 20, the corner piece connector 100 can be transported together with the box body 10, and through the cooperation of the limiting component 22 and the blocking component 24, the corner piece connector 100 can be effectively prevented from falling due to the bumps of the box body 10 during transportation, thereby reducing the loss of the corner piece connector 100.
