[0071] 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.

[0072] The utility model provides a container 1. Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the container 1 is used to transport a rail vehicle 4, and the rail vehicle 4 has wheels 41. Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the container 1 may include a base frame 10, a first guide rail 20, an extension frame 30, and a second guide rail 40. The first guide rail 20 is arranged along the length direction DL of the container 1 and connected to the upper surface of the base frame 10 to match the wheel 41. The extension frame 30 is connected to the base frame 10 along the length direction DL of the container 1. The second guide rail 40 is arranged along the length direction DL of the container 1 and connected to the upper surface of the extension frame 30, and the second guide rail 40 corresponds to the first guide rail 20 in position to carry the rail vehicle 4.

[0073] According to the container 1 of the utility model, by providing the extension frame 30, the overall length of the container 1 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the rail vehicle 4, thereby improving the adaptability of the container 1. In addition, by providing the second guide rail 40 adapted to the first guide rail 20 on the extension frame 30, it is convenient to drive the rail vehicle 4 to move along the guide rail to adjust the placement position of the rail vehicle 4 on the container 1, thereby saving the investment in lifting equipment.

[0074] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first guide rails 20 and the second guide rails 40 are arranged in pairs, and the paired first guide rails 20 are spaced apart along the width direction DW of the container 1, and correspondingly, the paired second guide rails 40 are spaced apart along the width direction DW of the container 1. In order to be applicable to rail vehicles 4 with different track gauges, multiple groups of guide rails can be provided, for example Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, three pairs of first guide rails 20 are provided, and two pairs of second guide rails 40 are provided to carry rail vehicles 4 with different track gauges.

[0075] In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the extension frame 30 to adapt to rail vehicles 4 of different lengths, the extension frame 30 can be configured to be detachably connected to the base frame 10 along the length direction DL of the container 1. Figure 1 and Figure 5 The bottom frame 10 may include a first corner piece 11, an end beam 12 and a first side beam 13. The end beam 12 is disposed along the width direction DW of the container 1 and connected to the first corner piece 11. The first side beam 13 is disposed along the length direction DL of the container 1 and connected to the first corner piece 11. Figure 1 and Figure 5 In the embodiment, the number of the end beam 12 and the first side beam 13 are both 2, so as to form a rectangular frame. It can be understood that in order to improve the overall structural strength of the chassis 10, the chassis 10 may further include a first cross beam 14, which is arranged along the width direction DW of the container 1 and connected to the first side beam 13. The chassis 10 also includes a connecting seat 16, which is connected to the end beam 12. Return to reference Figure 2 Specifically, the extension frame 30 may include a second side beam 31 and a second cross beam 32. The second side beam 31 is disposed along the length direction DL of the container 1. Accordingly, the second cross beam 32 is disposed along the width direction DW of the container 1 and connected to the second side beam 31.

[0076] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate the connection between the extension frame 30 and the base frame 10, the extension frame 30 may further include a connecting member 34, and the connecting member 34 may be detachably connected to the connecting seat 16. Figures 2 to 4 The extension frame 30 further includes a support member 35, which is connected to the second side beam 31. When the extension frame 30 is connected to the base frame 10, the support member 35 at least partially abuts against the end beam 12. Figure 3 , further, the connection base 16 has a latch hole 16a. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The extension frame 30 further includes a sealing plate 36 connected to one end of the second side beam 31. Figure 2 and Figure 3, the connecting member 34 may include a latch 341 and a stopper 342. It should be noted that the latch 341 is arranged along the height direction DH of the container 1. The second side beam 31 has a notch 31a for avoiding the latch 341, and the notch 31a is located at the end of the second side beam 31 away from the sealing plate 36. The supporting member 35 is connected to the notch 31a so as to cooperate with the sealing plate 36 so that the second side beam 31 is constructed as a closed structure. The latch 341 also has a stopper hole 34a, and the axis of the stopper hole 34a is perpendicular to the axis of the latch 341. When the extension frame 30 is in a state of being connected to the base frame 10, the latch 341 is connected to the latch port 16a and the stopper hole 34a is at least partially located below the connecting seat 16. It is easy to imagine that the stopper 342 is connected to the stopper hole 34a to prevent the latch 341 from slipping relative to the connecting seat 16. In actual use, the latch 341 is inserted into the latch opening 16a, and the stopper 342 is connected to the stopper hole 34a, so as to prevent the latch 341 from slipping relative to the latch opening 16a. In addition, the support member 35 is now against the end beam 12 to prevent the extension frame 30 from shaking. Accordingly, the stopper 342 is removed, and the latch 341 is taken out of the latch opening 16a, so that the extension frame 30 can be disassembled relative to the base frame 10. Please refer to Figure 4 When the container 1 is not in use, the extension frame 30 can be stacked on the bottom frame 10 , and at this time, the support member 35 abuts against the first cross beam 14 .

[0077] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In order to fix the rail vehicle 4 to the container 1, the extension frame 30 may further include a blocking block 37 and a fixing member 38. Specifically, the blocking block 37 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 40. In some embodiments not shown, the blocking block 37 may also be slidably connected to the first guide rail 20. Figure 7 The first guide rail 20 and the second guide rail 40 both have a contact surface 20a for abutting against the wheel 41, and the contact surface 20a is in an arc shape. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The blocking block 37 may have a bearing surface 37a, which is inclined relative to the length direction DL and the height direction DH of the container 1 to abut against the wheel 41. It is easy to imagine that in order to limit the position of the blocking block 37, the extension frame 30 may also include a pull ring 33, and the pull ring 33 is connected to the second side beam 31. Accordingly, the fixing member 38 is connected to both the blocking block 37 and the pull ring 33 to fix the position of the blocking block 37. The specific form of the fixing member 38 is not limited, for example, the fixing member 38 is configured as a rope, a binding belt, etc. Please refer to Fig. 9 The blocking block 37 also has a groove 37b adapted to the guide rail, so as to facilitate the clamping to the guide rail for sliding adjustment, so as to adapt to the position fixation of rail vehicles 4 of different specifications. Fig. 9(a) is a schematic front view of the blocking block 37, Fig. 9 (b) is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the blocking block 37. In some embodiments not shown, when the container 1 does not include the extension frame 30, the blocking block 37 and the fixing member 38 can also be installed at the bottom frame 10, and accordingly, the pull ring 33 can also be located at the bottom frame 10.

[0078] See also Figure 1 , the container 1 may further include a second corner piece 15, which is connected to the bottom frame 10 and protrudes upward from the bottom frame 10; in this case, the container 1 is constructed as a platform container 2. Figure 5 , the container 1 may further include an end frame 19, which is pivotally connected to the bottom frame 10 in a first position when unfolded and a second position when stored; in this case, the container 1 is configured as a platform container 3. The rail vehicle 4 may be placed on the platform container 2 or the platform container 3, and the placement position of the rail vehicle 4 on the platform container 2 or the platform container 3 may be adjusted by sliding. It is easy to imagine that the container 1 may also be configured as a combination of the platform container 2 and the platform container 3.

[0079] The utility model also provides a loading system, which includes the aforementioned container 1, and the container 1 can be constructed as at least one of a platform container 2 and a platform container 3. Figure 6 , the container 1 is constructed as a combination of a platform container 2 and a platform container 3. Specifically, when the loading system is in the use state of transporting the rail vehicle 4, the platform container 2 and the platform container 3 are moved along the travel direction of the rail vehicle 4 ( Figure 6 For example, an extra-long rail vehicle 4 is hoisted onto the first guide rail 20 of the platform container 2, and the second guide rail 40 on the extension frame 30 is docked with the first guide rail 20, so that the rail vehicle 4 can slide onto the platform container 3 through the guide rail. When the rail vehicle 4 needs to be unloaded, the opposite operation can be used to move the rail vehicle 4 from the platform container 3 to the platform container 2 and then hoist it.

[0080] See also Fig.10 When the loading system is not in use, the platform container 2 can be stacked on the upper surface of the platform container 3. For example, the platform container 2 is first stacked on the upper surface of the platform container 3, and a twist lock or other device is used to connect the platform container 2 and the platform container 3. The stacked container 1 is lifted by the second corner fitting 15, which is convenient to operate.

[0081] According to the container 1 of the utility model, the guide rail can provide support and limit for the rail vehicle 4, so that the rail vehicle 4 can be displaced along the length direction DL of the container 1, thereby adjusting the placement position of the rail vehicle 4, which can reduce the investment in lifting equipment. In addition, the structure and length of the container 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the specifications of the rail vehicle 4, thereby improving the compatibility of the container 1 and the rail vehicle 4. The loading system has the aforementioned container 1, and according to different transportation requirements, the specifications and quantity of the platform container 2 and the platform container 3 can also be flexibly selected, which is conducive to adjusting the position of the rail vehicle at the container 1 and adjusting the center of gravity position of the container 1 in the loaded state, which can reduce the use of lifting equipment.
