[0002] In traditional container designs, the opening size of the side doors is often fixed, which limits the flexibility and efficiency of cargo loading and unloading. The common container side panel designs on the market are mainly two-door or four-door structures. In the design of two side doors, usually only part of the side door space can be opened, and it is impossible to open it completely. In the design of four side doors, although all four doors can be opened, the middle column is used as a hinged frame connection, which makes the side door unable to be fully opened, thus affecting the cargo handling efficiency and the full utilization of the container's internal space.
[0003] With the continuous progress and development of the global logistics industry, customers have put forward higher requirements for the diversification and flexibility of containers. Especially when transporting large equipment or special goods that need to be loaded and unloaded quickly, the traditional container design is stretched and difficult to meet actual needs. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a new type of container design whose side doors can be fully opened and the opening size can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.
[0004] In response to this market demand, and in combination with the actual application scenarios of the product and customer feedback, we have successfully developed a container with segmented side doors. This new design breaks through traditional limitations, not only realizing a doorless structure at the front and back, but also allowing the sides to be fully or partially opened as needed. More importantly, by eliminating the setting of the middle column, the loading and unloading efficiency and the utilization rate of the container's internal space are significantly improved. The emergence of this utility model not only meets the diverse shipping needs, but also greatly improves the practicality and operational flexibility of the container, effectively solves the limitations of the traditional container side door design, and better adapts to the diversification and efficiency needs of the modern logistics industry.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0020] See also Figures 1 to 3 A container with a segmented opening side door comprises a container frame 1, a side door is provided on one side of the container frame, and enclosure plates are provided at both ends and the back, the side door comprises two sets of side door units 210 that open opposite to each other, each side door unit comprises a first side door 211 and a second side door 212, wherein the first side door is hinged on the end column of the container frame, and by designing two sets of side door units that open opposite to each other, each unit comprises the first side door and the second side door, the segmented opening of the side door is realized. This structure not only improves the flexibility of loading and unloading goods, but also enables users to choose to open all or part of the side doors according to actual needs, thereby optimizing space utilization and operating efficiency. A first locking rod assembly 213 connected to the upper crossbeam 101 and the lower crossbeam 102 of the container frame is vertically installed on the first side door, and the first side door is connected to the end column of the container frame by a hinged manner, thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the side door. At the same time, the first locking rod assembly is connected to the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam of the container frame, further enhancing the structural strength and safety of the side door. This design allows the first side door to remain stable during opening and closing, preventing accidents. The second side door is hingedly mounted on the inner door frame of the first side door, and a second locking rod assembly 214 connected to the upper and lower cross beams of the container frame is vertically mounted on the second side door. The second side door is hingedly mounted on the inner door frame of the first side door, realizing the segmented opening of the side door. At the same time, the second locking rod assembly is connected to the upper and lower cross beams of the container frame, ensuring the stability and safety of the second side door. This design not only improves the flexibility of loading and unloading goods, but also makes fuller use of the internal space of the container.
[0021] The above-mentioned first locking rod assembly and second locking rod assembly are well-known components in the container field, mainly including a locking rod, a rotating handle on the locking rod, a lock head and a lock seat at both ends of the locking rod, wherein the lock seat is fixed on the upper and lower beams, and the locking and unlocking actions of the locking rod are achieved by rotating the handle.
[0022] Preferably, the width of the second side door is smaller than that of the first side door. By optimizing the width of the second side door to make it smaller than that of the first side door, it can better meet the requirements of loading and unloading cargoes of different sizes and shapes. This design improves the versatility and flexibility of the container, allowing the container to be more widely used in various logistics scenarios.
[0023] Preferably, a door lock component is installed between the two second side doors, and the door lock component is installed between the two second side doors to ensure the safety and anti-theft performance of the side doors in the closed state. This design effectively prevents unauthorized access and loss of goods, and improves the overall safety of the container.
[0024] Preferably, a fork groove 103 is provided on the lower cross beam of the container frame. Preferably, there are four fork grooves, wherein the fork grooves on both sides are hinged with the first side door and the second side door. The fork grooves are provided on the lower cross beam of the container frame to facilitate the operation of handling equipment such as forklifts. By providing four fork grooves and arranging two of them at the hinges of the first side door and the second side door, the stability and safety during the handling process are further improved. This design makes the handling of containers in the logistics process more efficient and convenient.
[0025] The number of hinge points between the first side door and the column is greater than the number of hinge points between the second side door and the first side door. By increasing the number of hinge points between the first side door and the column, the stability and load-bearing capacity of the first side door are improved. This design ensures the safety and reliability of the container during loading and unloading of goods, and prevents the side door from being deformed or damaged due to uneven force. At the same time, compared with the second side door, the more important load-bearing function of the first side door is also strengthened through this design. In this embodiment, the number of hinge points between the first side door and the column is five, and the number of hinge points between the second side door and the first side door is four.
[0026] Preferably, the number of first locking rod assemblies provided on the first side door is greater than the number of second locking rod assemblies provided on the second side door. In this embodiment, preferably, three first locking rod assemblies are provided, and one second locking rod assembly is provided, and they are provided at the door gap position relative to the two second side doors. This technical feature has the following advantages: Enhanced structural stability: Since the first side door is larger and bears more weight than the second side door, increasing the number of first locking rod assemblies can effectively improve the structural stability of the first side door. This helps to prevent the deformation or damage of the side door caused by uneven force or external force impact during loading and unloading or transportation. Improved safety: More locking rod assemblies mean more fixing points, which can enhance the firmness of the side door in the closed state. During transportation, especially in bumpy or sharp turns, more locking rod assemblies can better prevent the side door from opening accidentally, thereby ensuring the safety of goods and personnel. Convenient operation and maintenance: Although the number of locking rod assemblies is increased, due to the reasonable design, the operator can easily lock or unlock the side door. At the same time, this design also facilitates regular inspection and maintenance of the locking rod assembly to ensure that it is in good working condition. Strong adaptability: Since the first side door is the main load-bearing and structural support part, increasing the number of its locking rod assemblies can make it better adapt to cargoes of different sizes and weights. This design enables the container to maintain good stability and safety when loading cargoes of various types and specifications.
[0027] Description of the use status of the container with segmented side door opening in this application
[0028] According to the size of the transported goods and the requirements of loading and unloading, this container is designed with a segmented opening side door to meet the flexible use in different scenarios. The following is a detailed description of the two main usage states:
[0029] The first state: only open the second inner side door
[0030] When the cargo to be transported is small in size, or only partial access to the interior of the container is required, you can choose to open only the second inner side door.
[0031] The operator first unlocks the door lock component on the second side door to ensure that the second side door can be opened freely.
[0032] Then, the operator pushes the second side door outwards, and since the second side door is hinged on the inner door frame of the first side door, it can be opened easily.
[0033] In this state, the first side door remains closed, while the second side door is open, so that the operator can easily access the goods inside the container while maintaining the overall structural stability and safety of the container.
[0034] When cargo loading and unloading is completed, the operator closes and locks the second side door to ensure the safety of the container.
[0035] The second state: fully open
[0036] When large-sized cargo needs to be loaded and unloaded, or full access to the interior of the container is required, the side door can be fully opened, that is, in the fully open state.
[0037] The operator first unlocks all locking rod assemblies and door lock components on the first side door and the second side door to ensure that the doors on both sides can be opened freely.
[0038] Afterwards, the operator pushes the two sets of second side doors outward to a fully open state.
[0039] Then, the operator pushes the two sets of first side doors outward to a fully open state. Since the first side doors are hinged on the end columns of the container frame, they can be fully opened easily.
[0040] In this state, the side door of the container is fully opened, providing ample space and convenience for loading and unloading large-sized goods. At the same time, the removal of the middle column makes the loading and unloading of goods more barrier-free.
[0041] When cargo loading and unloading is completed, the operator needs to close the first side door and the second side door in reverse order and ensure that all locking rod assemblies and door lock components are in a locked state to ensure the safety and stability of the container.
[0042] Through the instructions for use in the above two states, it can be seen that the segmented opening side door design of this container can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and loading and unloading requirements of different goods, thereby improving the loading and unloading efficiency and space utilization.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, such as designing the end face of the container as a closed end plate or an openable end door, should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
