These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings. If the descriptions of the positions of these elements change, the indications of these directions also change accordingly.

[0031] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0032] This embodiment provides a tank container and a manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method of the tank container is applied to the tank container.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tank container includes a storage tank 1 and a frame 2 arranged outside the storage tank 1.

[0034] The storage tank 1 is used for storage, and comprises a columnar tank body and sealing heads at both ends of the tank body.

[0035] Corner fittings 22 are provided at the top corners of the frame 2. The frame 2 is used to fix and protect the storage tank. The frame 2 includes two front and rear end frames 21, and corner fittings 22 are provided at the four top corners of the end frames 21. The corner fittings 22 around the frame 2 are used to fix the tank container on the fixed platform of the transport device.

[0036] The outer side of the storage tank 1 is covered with an outer plate 4. The outer plate 4 is prepared using the manufacturing method of a tank container. Among them, the outer plate 4 includes a first outer plate 41 surrounding the storage tank 1, and a second outer plate 42 covering the head of the storage tank 1. The first outer plate 41 is coated on the cylindrical annular side wall of the tank body, and the second outer plate 42 is coated on the head. The identification information of the storage tank 1 can be not only sprayed on the first outer plate 41, but also part of the identification information can be sprayed on the second outer plate 42. Therefore, a spray-printed identification structure 5 integrated with the outer plate is formed on the outer plate. The spray-printed identification structure 5 can carry identification information and be presented in a certain layout pattern. This embodiment is a method for manufacturing a tank container, which uses spray printing technology to form a spray-printed identification structure on the outer plate, and integrates the spray-printed identification structure 5 containing product information with the outer plate. By preparing an outer plate with a self-contained product information identification and directly coating the outer plate with the outer side of the storage tank, the manual bonding of labels is eliminated. The tank container made of the outer covering plate with its own product information label can improve construction efficiency, simplify construction links, and reduce construction problems, thereby ensuring that the tank container has good labeling performance. In addition, the tank container made by this implementation method can avoid the problems that exist in the outer covering plate with adhesive labels during long-term use.

[0037] See also Figure 3 The method for preparing the tank container of this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0038] Step S10, obtaining the position information of the identification information on the outer cover plate according to the identification information of the storage tank and the size information of the outer cover plate;

[0039] Step S20, positioning the outer cover board;

[0040] Step S30, printing the identification information according to the position information;

[0041] Step S40, splicing a plurality of the outer panels onto the outer side of the storage tank.

[0042] Specifically in this embodiment, through step S10, step S20 and step S30, the outer package board can be printed with identification information by automatic printing equipment. Among them, the identification information is marked on the outer package board by printing. It can be understood that printing can include but is not limited to spraying, digital painting, or printing, etc., to print the identification information on the outer package board, and the outer package board forms a printing identification structure 5 integrated with the outer package board. The identification information is marked on the outer package board by the above method, so that the outer package board is formed into an outer package board with identification information.

[0043] In the preparation method of the tank container of this embodiment, by applying the outer cover plate with the self-printed identification structure 5 to the tank container, the cumbersome process problem of the current tank container label and the outer cover plate being installed separately can be solved, which can greatly improve the installation efficiency, reduce the manpower and labor intensity, and facilitate large-scale production. In addition, the aging resistance and weather resistance of the outer cover plate with the self-printed identification structure 5 are improved, and it is easy to clean and not easy to be scratched, which can improve the long-term use performance of the tank container and has a good effect.

[0044] In particular, the outer cover plate with a self-printed identification structure 5 provided in the present application is used for the outer cover of a tank container, and can be applied to the multimodal transport of tank containers. In different regions of the world, different environmental conditions are required, including inland atmospheric environment, marine environment, tropical, temperate, cold environment, etc., and can meet the high performance requirements of various transportation environments.

[0045] Specifically in this embodiment, in step S10, based on the identification information of the storage tank and the size information of the outer covering plate, the position information of the identification information on the outer covering plate is obtained.

[0046] See also Figure 4 , it may also include step S11, performing typeset design on the identification information to form a typeset pattern, and determining the position information according to the typeset pattern.

[0047] In order to ensure the integrity of the identification information and the standardization of the location of the identification information, it is necessary to set the identification information in a layout. Through the layout setting, the identification information is combined to form a layout pattern. Each film of the layout pattern corresponds to corresponding position information.

[0048] Therefore, for different outsourcing boards, the identification information needs to be typeset and designed separately to form corresponding typeset patterns.

[0049] Specifically in this embodiment, step S12 is also included:

[0050] Step S12, judging whether printing the layout pattern requires multiple outer covering plates to be spliced ​​together according to the layout pattern.

[0051] Since the types and quantities of identification information corresponding to different types of storage tanks are different, the identification information required to be marked on the outer panels of different types of storage tanks is also different. Therefore, according to the position information of the identification information and the area size of the formed layout pattern, it is determined whether the layout pattern requires multiple outer panels to be spliced ​​together.

[0052] Step S13, when multiple outer covering boards need to be spliced ​​together, determine the local pattern corresponding to each outer covering board and its corresponding local position information.

[0053] When the layout pattern requires multiple outer panels to be spliced ​​together, the layout pattern is divided into multiple local patterns according to the splicing conditions of the spliced ​​outer panels. The local position information corresponding to each of the local patterns is determined. Each local pattern corresponds to the local position information of the outer panel where it is located.

[0054] Correspondingly, the method further includes step S14, in which, when there is no need to splice a plurality of outer covering boards to each other, the position information of the layout pattern is determined.

[0055] When multiple pieces do not need to be spliced, the layout pattern can be printed on only one outer package board, that is, it can be directly printed according to the position information corresponding to the layout pattern.

[0056] In step S20, the outer package board is positioned. Specifically, the outer package board can be fixed and positioned by a positioner and a positioning fixture to prevent the outer package board from moving and affecting subsequent operations.

[0057] Step S30: printing the identification information according to the position information.

[0058] Printing can include spraying or printing, and can specifically include spray printing, screen printing or inkjet printing.

[0059] If it is determined in step 12 that a plurality of outer covering plates need to be spliced, the position information is the local position information corresponding to the local pattern, and printing is performed according to the local position information.

[0060] If it is determined in step 12 that multiple outer covering plates do not need to be spliced ​​together, the position information is the position information of the layout pattern, and printing is performed according to the position information.

[0061] See also Figure 5 According to step S30, a printing mark structure 5 can be formed on the surface of the outer cover plate. The outer cover plate 4 includes a base plate 40 and a printing mark structure 5 disposed on the surface of the base plate 40. The printing mark structure 5 is fixedly disposed on the surface of the base plate 40 facing away from the storage tank 1.

[0062] The substrate 40 may be a fiber reinforced resin plate, a stainless steel thin plate, or an aluminum alloy thin plate.

[0063] The printed logo structure 5 can be realized by conventional spraying, printing and other processes, which can specifically include spray printing, screen printing or spray painting.

[0064] The printing logo structure 5 includes a primer layer 51, a printing layer 52 and a protective layer 53. The primer layer 51 is disposed on the substrate 40, the printing layer 52 is disposed on the primer layer 51, and the protective layer 53 is disposed on the surface of the printing layer. The primer layer 51 can improve the adhesion of the printing layer. It can be understood that the primer layer 51 is a water-based resin layer. The protective layer 53 can isolate and protect the printing layer and improve the service life of the printing logo structure 5. It can be understood that the protective layer 53 is a polyurethane layer.

[0065] See also Figure 6 Before the step S30 of printing the identification information according to the position information, the method further includes: step S31 of coating a primer layer on the surface of the outer package board.

[0066] The outer covering plate may be a fiber reinforced resin plate, a stainless steel sheet, an aluminum alloy sheet, or the like.

[0067] The primer layer 51 can make the ink contact with the outer plate better, increase the contact area, and make the cured pattern firmly adhere to the surface of the outer plate. The primer layer 51 has good adhesion, high brightness, and appropriate hardness. The material of the primer layer 51 can be a water-based resin layer, such as a water-based polyurethane resin.

[0068] In addition, the method further includes step S32, in which a curing agent is added to the printing material. The curing agent enables the material to have a good curing effect and good adhesion after curing, and is integrated with the outer cover plate.

[0069] The printing material is printed by the printing technology to form a printing layer 52 on the base coating layer 51. Adding a curing agent to the printing material of the printing layer 52 can improve the curing effect of the printing layer 52 and the adhesion of the printing layer 52.

[0070] The method further includes step S33 of printing according to the local pattern and the local position information.

[0071] According to the above layout pattern and splicing design, each outer package board has a corresponding local pattern. The local pattern is printed corresponding to its local position information to transfer the identification information to the outer package board.

[0072] The method further includes step S34 of coating a protective layer on the identification information and curing the protective layer.

[0073] A protective layer 53 is provided on the printed identification information, and the protective layer 53 may have certain water resistance and wear resistance. Therefore, the protective layer 53 may protect the identification information, prevent the identification information from falling off, improve the durability of the identification information, and reduce the impact caused by temperature changes, sunlight exposure and wear.

[0074] The protective layer 53 is disposed on the upper side of the printing layer 52, and the protective layer 53 completely covers the printing layer 52, which can improve the service life of the printing logo structure 5. The protective layer 53 can be a wear-resistant layer or a waterproof layer.

[0075] Furthermore, the thickness of the entire printing mark structure 5 is relatively thin, specifically, the thickness of the printing mark structure 5 is less than 2 mm. Therefore, the printing mark structure 5 will not cause the surface of the outer plate to be uneven, thereby enhancing the aesthetics of the tank container.

[0076] Therefore, the main performance of the printing logo structure 5 can meet the following standards:

[0077] Ambient temperature: The operating ambient temperature range can reach -40℃ to 105℃.

[0078] Acid and alkali resistance: According to the national standard GB / T 1763 for the determination of chemical resistance of paint films, in an acid and alkali environment, the surface of the printed logo structure 5 remains unchanged for 500 hours.

[0079] Salt spray resistance: According to the national standard GB / T 10125, in the environment of artificial atmosphere corrosion test salt spray test, the surface of the printed logo structure 5 is free of rust for 1000 hours.

[0080] Adhesion: According to the national standard GB / T 9286 cross-cut test for paint and varnish films, the test result reaches level 0.

[0081] The printed logo structure 5 area was rubbed back and forth with a non-woven fabric with a force of about 100 Newtons for dozens of times, and there was no fading. The printed logo structure 5 had no bubbles and no warping.

[0082] Therefore, the outer cover plate with the self-printed logo structure 5 of the utility model can withstand different environmental conditions and maintain good performance. In addition, the outer cover plate has an excellent appearance, the surface of the storage tank is smooth without bumps and convexities, no color difference, clear text and patterns, and no boundaries caused by the edges of traditional stickers and labels. Therefore, it can be easily cleaned with a brush or washed with water without worrying about scratches, discoloration and other problems.

[0083] Step S40, splicing a plurality of the outer covering plates on the outer side of the storage tank. The outer covering plates are spliced ​​on the outer side of the storage tank after being bent.

[0084] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7Schematic diagram of the splicing of the first outer covering plate 41, wherein only one first outer covering plate 41 is provided with a printed identification structure 5, and the other plates can also be printed with relevant information as required, such as customer trademarks, product information, etc.). A tank container can be divided into 3, 4 or suitable first outer covering plates surrounding the tank body. Any of the plates can also be divided into two or more plates.

[0085] See also Figure 8 , step S40 also includes: step S41, splicing the outer packaging board according to the layout pattern and the local pattern.

[0086] When the layout pattern is divided into multiple partial patterns, precise alignment is required when splicing the outer panels.

[0087] Step S42, setting a laser rangefinder, and positioning the outer panel according to the laser rangefinder.

[0088] The use of a laser rangefinder can improve the alignment accuracy of the outer packaging board, so that the local patterns on multiple outer packaging boards can be aligned and completely spliced ​​and aligned, ensuring that the identification information on the layout pattern is clear and accurate.

[0089] In contrast, the conventional conventional process is to first install the outer cover plate on the storage tank, and then manually paste the labels on the outer cover plate one by one. Each label needs to be manually positioned before pasting, and the pasting is often uneven during the pasting process. In this embodiment, a laser rangefinder is used to locate the outer cover plate installation. The laser rangefinder can be first installed on the frames on both sides of the tank container, and then the outer cover plates with the printed logo structure 5 are installed one by one according to the distance requirements of the printed logo structure 5.

[0090] It is understood that in other embodiments, manual alignment can be used for installation. During the installation of the outer covering plate, a mark can be made on the outer covering plate with the printed identification structure 5, and two adjacent outer covering plates are aligned before being fixed. Manual tightening and fixing can be adopted, or a tightening device can be used to automatically tighten a certain distance on the tank body to a fixed position, thereby tightening and fixing.

[0091] The tank container of this embodiment comprises: a storage tank, a frame and an outer covering plate made according to the above-mentioned tank container manufacturing method. The end frames are respectively arranged at both ends of the storage tank, and the outer covering plate is covered on the outside of the storage tank.

[0092] Compared with the outer panels made by traditional pasting process, it takes 7 people to paste the labels, and only about 5 tank containers can be completed per hour, which is time-consuming and has high labor costs.

[0093] The tank container of this embodiment uses the outer cover plate manufactured according to the above-mentioned preparation method, so it is not necessary for labeling personnel to occupy a long time of work. The use of the utility model can achieve the effect of reducing working hours and reducing costs.

[0094] Moreover, when the sticker label of the traditional outer packaging board is damaged, the sticker label needs to be torn off and the residual dry glue after the damaged sticker label is cleaned before the paper label can be re-pasted. In the process of cleaning the dry glue, the outer packaging board is easily damaged. However, the outer packaging board with the self-printed logo structure 5 of this embodiment is easier to repair. When the printed logo structure 5 is damaged, it only needs to fill the damaged part with ink with a brush or a mold and then spray the protective layer. After it is naturally dried, the repair is completed.

[0095] The above embodiments are merely exemplary descriptions of the structures. The structures in the embodiments are not fixed combination structures. In the absence of structural conflicts, the structures in multiple embodiments can be used in any combination.

[0096] Although the utility model has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terms used are illustrative and exemplary, rather than restrictive. Since the utility model can be implemented in a variety of forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the utility model, it should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are not limited to any of the aforementioned details, but should be widely interpreted within the spirit and scope defined by the attached claims, so all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the attached claims.
