[0032] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration and are not intended to be limiting.

[0034] In this document, ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” cited in the present invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order.

[0035] In order to thoroughly understand the implementation of the utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The preferred implementation of the utility model is described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the utility model can also have other implementations.

[0036] The utility model provides a corner post. The corner post can be used for a container. The corner post can be arranged at a corner of the container. The strength of the corner post is greater than that of a corner post in the prior art. The container using the corner post has great strength.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the corner column includes a column 110. The column 110 is a columnar structure. The cross section of the column 110 (the cross section is perpendicular to the height direction of the column 110) is configured as a circumferentially closed annular structure. Therefore, the column 110 has a high strength.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the corner post further includes a corner plate 120. The corner plate 120 is a plate. The corner plate 120 is provided with a corner hole 121. The corner hole 121 can be a corner hole of an existing corner piece. For example, a top corner hole located on the top surface of an existing top corner piece. Or a bottom corner hole located on the bottom surface of an existing bottom corner piece. In this way, the corner hole 121 cooperates with the twist lock to fix the container using the corner post. In addition, the containers can be stacked through the corner plate 120.

[0039] Optionally, return Figure 1 The column 110 has a main body 115 and a gradually expanding part 116. The main body 115 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure. Along the height direction of the column 110, both ends of the main body 115 are provided with gradually expanding parts 116. In this way, the main body 115 is located in the middle part of the column 110, and the gradually expanding part 116 is located at the end of the column 110.

[0040] In the expanding portion 116, along the height direction of the column 110, the internal area gradually decreases from the end of the expanding portion 116 far from the center of the column 110 to the end close to the center of the column 110. The cross-sectional area of ​​the area surrounded by the annular structure is the internal area. Thus, it is convenient to connect the twist lock to the corner column. The setting of the expanding portion 116 can further increase the strength of the corner column.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the corner column is a circumferentially closed columnar structure, the corner column is strong, and the setting of the gradually expanding portion 116 can further increase the strength of the corner column. In this way, the container using the corner column is strong and the container can stack heavier objects.

[0042] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the column 110 includes an inner corner fitting 111, an outer corner fitting 112, a left corner fitting 113 and a right corner fitting 114. The inner corner fitting 111, the outer corner fitting 112, the left corner fitting 113 and the right corner fitting 114 are all plate-like structures. The inner corner fitting 111 and the outer corner fitting 112 are arranged at intervals. The left corner fitting 113 and the right corner fitting 114 are arranged at intervals. The inner corner fitting 111, the left corner fitting 113, the outer corner fitting 112 and the right corner fitting 114 are arranged circumferentially in sequence. The inner corner fitting 111, the left corner fitting 113, the outer corner fitting 112 and the right corner fitting 114 are connected end to end (for example, welded) to form a ring structure. As a result, the structure of the column 110 is simple.

[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 1As shown, the inner corner piece 111 includes an inner corner body and an inclined portion. The inner corner body is a flat plate structure. The inclined portion is a flat plate structure. The end of the inclined portion away from the angle plate 120 connected thereto is connected to the inner corner body. The plane where the inclined portion is located is inclined to the inner corner body. The end of the inclined portion close to the angle plate 120 connected thereto is further away from the outer corner piece 112 than the end away from the angle plate 120 connected thereto. In this way, the corner column forms a gradually expanding portion 116 at the inclined portion. As a result, the structure of the column body 110 is simple.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least one of the left corner piece 113, the outer corner piece 112 and the right corner piece 114 is a flat plate structure. For example, the left corner piece 113, the outer corner piece 112 and the right corner piece 114 are all flat plate structures. The plane where the left corner piece 113 is located is parallel to the plane where the right corner piece 114 is located. The plane where the outer corner piece 112 is located is parallel to the plane where the inner corner body is located. The plane where the outer corner piece 112 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the left corner piece 113 is located. As a result, the structure of the column 110 is simple.

[0045] The thickness of the inner corner piece 111 , the left corner piece 113 , the outer corner piece 112 and the right corner piece 114 are all greater than the thickness of the existing corner column.

[0046] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the angle plate 120 includes a top angle plate 122 located at the upper end of the column 110. The corner column also includes an upper sealing plate 130. The upper sealing plate 130 is a plate-like structure. The upper sealing plate 130 is located at the gradually expanding portion 116 at the upper end of the column 110 and below the top angle plate 122. The upper sealing plate 130 is located in the annular structure. The upper sealing plate 130 is circumferentially connected (for example, welded) to the inner wall surface of the column 110. The upper sealing plate 130 and the top angle plate 122 are spaced apart. Thereby, the strength of the column 110 can be further increased. In addition, the provision of the upper sealing plate 130 can prevent water from entering the main body 115 through the corner hole 121 of the top angle plate 122.

[0047] Further, the outer corner piece 112 of the column 110 has a drainage hole 117. The drainage hole 117 is located between the upper sealing plate 130 and the top angle plate 122. Thus, water can be drained through the drainage hole 117.

[0048] Furthermore, the upper sealing plate 130 is inclined in the height direction of the column 110. Along the height direction of the column 110, the lower edge of the drain hole 117 is located between the lower end and the upper end of the upper sealing plate 130. Along the height direction of the column 110, the distance between the lower edge of the drain hole 117 and the upper end of the upper sealing plate 130 is greater than the distance between the lower edge of the drain hole 117 and the lower end of the upper sealing plate 130. In this way, along the height direction of the column 110, the lower edge of the drain hole 117 is closer to the lower end of the upper sealing plate 130 relative to the upper end of the upper sealing plate 130. As a result, water can be more effectively drained through the drain hole 117.

[0049] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the angle plate 120 includes a bottom angle plate 123 located at the lower end of the column 110. The corner column also includes a lower sealing plate 140. The lower sealing plate 140 is a plate-like structure. The lower sealing plate 140 is located between the upper sealing plate 130 and the bottom angle plate 123. The lower sealing plate 140 is located at the gradually expanding portion 116 at the lower end of the column 110. The lower sealing plate 140 is located in the annular structure. The lower sealing plate 140 is circumferentially connected (for example, welded) to the column 110. The lower sealing plate 140 and the bottom angle plate 123 are spaced apart. In this way, the strength of the column 110 can be further increased.

[0050] Further, the plane where the lower sealing plate 140 is located is parallel to the plane where the angle plate 120 is located. In this way, the plane where the lower sealing plate 140 is located is perpendicular to the height direction of the column 110. Therefore, the structure of the column 110 is simple.

[0051] The utility model also provides a container, which comprises the aforementioned corner column.

[0052] In this embodiment, the container includes the aforementioned corner post, and the cross-section of the corner post is configured as a circumferentially closed columnar structure. The corner post is strong, and the setting of the gradually expanding portion 116 can further increase the strength of the corner post. In this way, the container using the corner post is strong and the container can stack heavier objects.
