Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of container overturning, in particular to a chain container overturning machine. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the freight industry, many goods, especially some bulk materials, are transported in containers. As this freight mode develops rapidly, higher requirements are also put forward for container loading and unloading equipment.

[0003] At present, the existing container turning machinery in China generally adopts a turning platform with a wheeled crane or a fixed combined gantry crane. The equipment is large in size, high in investment, wastes energy, has low safety, and is difficult to operate.

[0004] Moreover, during the process of overturning and loading the container, it is difficult for the corner fittings of the container to be positioned with the positioning screws. Such problems are generally caused by the following reasons: 1. The truck that transfers the container is not parked in the correct direction and there is a certain angle deviation, which makes it difficult to position the 8 corner fittings of the container; 2. When the ground is uneven or there are obstacles, the position and posture of the container may be unstable, making it impossible to accurately align the corner fittings with the positioning screws; 3. The technical level and experience of the operator will also affect the installation of the clips. In some cases, the time for loading and unloading containers is very tight, and the operator may ignore the details of reversing or take improper operation methods because of rushing for time.

[0005] This may cause wear or damage to the positioning screw over time, and the inventor has proposed improvements to this. Utility Model Content
