Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of containers, and more specifically, to a bulk container top cover lock. Background Art
[0002] A bulk container refers to a "container" with a loading port on the top and a shipping port on the bottom, which is mainly used to transport unpackaged solid granular and powdered goods. It is often used to load grain, and can also be used to load various feeds, resins, borax, cement, sand and gravel and other goods. When loading grain, due to quarantine needs, some bulk containers are also equipped with auxiliary devices for fumigation on the top. However, the top cover pressing method of some special bulk containers is relatively special. For example, application number CN201910654530.0 provides a top cover and a container including it. During the container transportation process, even if there is a bump, the locking hook can be prevented from detaching from the box body due to the support of the stop device. The stop device can also be moved to the second position under the action of an external force, so that the stop device is separated from the lever member, so that the hook-shaped member is no longer subjected to the support force, and can be rotated and moved and separated from the box body under the action of other external forces.
[0003] However, this structure involves too many parts, the locking mechanism takes up too much space in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and the locking relies too much on elastic parts such as hard springs. The structure is complex, the switch is cumbersome, and the scope of application is limited. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a bulk container top cover lock to solve one or more of the above-mentioned problems.

[0019] Example:
[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 The utility model is described in further detail.
[0021] A bulk container top cover lock, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes main parts such as base plate 1, handle 2, lock ring 3, lock buckle 10, lock plate 5, etc. The handle 2 and base plate 1 are hinged to each other through a support 4. The handle 2 is divided into a hinge end and a hand-held end. The hinge end of the handle 2 is a cone head structure. The hinge end is provided with a horizontally penetrating hinge hole and a mounting hole. The hinge hole is arranged at the upper end of the hinge end cone head, and the mounting hole is arranged at the lower end of the hinge end cone head. Figure 3 As shown, the support 4 is a support leg symmetrically arranged on the left and right, and the two support legs are arranged in a Y-shaped structure as a whole. The open end of the support 4 points to the center of the bottom plate 1, and the support 4 is continuously raised and tilted outward along the center of the bottom plate 1, that is, the support 4 is arched on the side, and a horizontal hinge hole is opened at the highest end of the support 4. The handle 2 and the support 4 are hinged by aligning the hinge holes and then removing the corresponding pin shaft 7. Preferably, in order to enhance the stability of the hinge structure, a cotter pin 8 is provided outside the pin shaft 7, and the cotter pin 8 is also located in the hinge hole. A washer 9 is provided at the end of the pin shaft 7 to prevent obvious loosening of the hinge position and ensure the clamping effect.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the connection between the hand-held end of the handle 2 and its hinged end has an upward arc segment, and the end of the hand-held end of the handle 2 has a downward curved arc segment. This design can better be bent and fixed through leverage.
[0023] The handle 2 is also provided with a lock ring 3, which is wide at the upper end and narrow at the lower end, and is adapted to the contour of the object passed by during the later rotation. The lock ring 3 is set on the handle 2 through the mounting hole, and a lock buckle 10 is set at the top of the inner ring side of the lock ring 3. The lock buckle 10 is a plate, with an upward tilt at one end and a concave arc at the other end, and the arc is set in the horizontal direction, that is, the end of the lock buckle 10 away from the center of the bottom plate 1 has a tilt to ensure that the lock buckle 10 and the lock ring 3 will not be separated, and the end of the lock buckle 10 close to the center of the bottom plate 1 is horizontally concave. Subsequently, the lock ring 3 drives the lock buckle 10 to rotate, and the concave section can fit tightly with the support 4 and the hinged end of the handle 2. A limit block 6 is also provided in the middle of the two legs of the support 4. The limit block 6 is located in the second half of the motion trajectory of the hinged end of the handle 2 to prevent the handle 2 from rotating excessively.
[0024] A locking piece 5 is provided on the side of the handle 2, and the lock door is a plate with an L-shaped cross-section, one end of which is provided with a docking hole, and the other end is connected to the bulk container. At the same time, a horizontally penetrating docking hole is provided on the handle 2, and the locking piece 5 and the handle 2 are bolted together through the docking hole.
[0025] After the handle 2 is pressed down, the locking ring 3 and the locking plate 5 rotate synchronously, and the lock buckle 10 on the locking ring 3 rotates to a position where the hinged end is tightly fitted. The bottom plate 1 and the locking plate 5 are fixed to the top cover of the bulk container with the help of bolts and other components. The bottom plate 1 and the locking plate 5 form two fulcrums for the top cover, and a fulcrum is formed between the support 4 on the bottom plate 1 and the handle 2. It is actually a clamping structure with three fulcrums, which has strong stability and a simpler structure, is easy to open and close, and has a wide range of applications.
[0026] It should be noted that this specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model, and it is not a limitation of the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, it is protected by the patent law.
