[0024] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model discloses a container for transporting automobiles. The container 1 includes two side panels 11, two end panels 12, a top panel 13 and a bottom panel 14. Both side panels 11 have doors for drivers to get on and off the automobiles; an end panel 12 has a door for automobiles to enter and exit the container 1.
[0025] The container 1 is provided with a half-foldable vehicle transport frame 4 and a first support column 2 and a second support column 3 fixed to the container 1. Two first support columns 2 and two second support columns 3 are provided, respectively close to the side plate 11 and the door end, that is, a group of first support columns 2 and second support columns 3 are provided on each side of the box body; both ends of the first support column 2 and the second support column 3 are welded and fixed to the top plate 13 and the bottom plate 14. The two ends of the vehicle transport frame 4 along the length direction are detachably connected to the first support column 2 and the second support column 3, respectively, and the specific detachable connection structure can adopt the connection structure between the vehicle transport frame 4 and its supporting columns in the existing folding vehicle transport box, that is, the first support column 2 and the second support column 3 provide position limiting and support for the two ends of the vehicle transport frame 4 through the corresponding connection structure. When the vehicle transport frame 4 is connected and fixed to the first support column 2 and the second support column 3 at the same time, the first support column 2 and the second support column 3 jointly support the vehicle transport frame 4, and the vehicle transport frame 4 is still provided with a lane and anti-skid holes for loading and fixing the car.
[0026] In the present invention, a segmented structure is provided in the middle of the transport frame 4 to realize the folding in half, and the segmented structure divides the transport frame 4 into a front frame body 41 and a rear frame body 42, see Figures 4 to 10In this embodiment, the front frame 41 is connected to the first support column 2, and the rear frame 42 is connected to the second support column 3. When the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 are assembled into a complete vehicle transport frame 4, the vehicle transport frame 4 is in an unfolded state and can be used to park a car. At this time, the vehicle transport frame 4 and the bottom plate 14 can each carry a car; when the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 are folded almost parallel or disassembled into two independent individuals, the vehicle transport frame 4 is in a stored state. In the stored state of the vehicle transport frame 4, the vehicle transport frame 4 is folded in half and the length is halved. The vehicle transport frame 4 can be placed at the end of the box space and leaned against the end plate 12 without a door. At the same time, it can be fixed with a binding belt and a rope ring in the box, or a block can be set to prevent tipping, so that when returning, the vehicle transport frame 4 only occupies a small amount of box space.
[0027] Based on the above scheme, the segmented structure provides the following three embodiments. For the convenience of explanation, Figures 1 to 10 The left side of the viewing angle is the front end, and the right side is the rear end. The front end of the car is parked on the rear frame 42 , and the rear end of the car is parked on the front frame 41 .
[0028] Segment structure embodiment 1, see Figures 4 to 5 There is a hinge structure 5 between the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42, and the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 are respectively hinged to a hinge seat. The front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 are folded toward each other until the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 are almost parallel, so that the length of the vehicle transport frame 4 can be halved; when the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 are rotated so that the rear end of the front frame 41 is in close contact with the front end of the rear frame 42 and the two ends are in the same plane, the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 are assembled into a complete vehicle transport frame 4.
[0029] Segment structure embodiment 2, see Figures 6 to 8 There is a plug-in structure 7 between the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42. When the complete vehicle transport frame 4 needs to be assembled, the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 only need to be fixed by bolts or pins after plugging. If folding and storage are required, the bolts or pins can be directly removed to disconnect the connection between the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42.
[0030] Segment structure embodiment 3, see Figures 9 and 10 There is a splicing structure 6 between the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42. The tail end of the front frame 41 is spliced with the front end of the rear frame 42. At this time, the two ends are in the same plane, so clamps are provided on the upper and lower sides of the splicing, and the two opposite clamps are locked by bolts to fix the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 to make it a complete vehicle transport frame 4; the same is true when folding and storing, and the clamps can be removed.
[0031] In order to facilitate the deployment and storage of the vehicle transport frame 4, the front frame 41 can be connected to a support rod through a clamp structure. The clamp structure and the support rod structure are both commonly used means in the prior art, so no drawings are provided. The two ends of the support rod are respectively sleeved on the first support column 2, so when the first support column 2 is installed inside the box, it is necessary to preferentially sleeve the support rod. The first support column 2 is axially provided with evenly distributed mounting holes, and the support rod can be fixed to the mounting holes at any height by a latch, so that the front frame 41 can rotate around the support rod. When it needs to be stored, the support rod is lowered to the lowest end of the first support column 2, and then the front frame 41 is rotated to lean against the end plate 12.
[0032] Based on the above structure, when loading a vehicle, the container 1 of the utility model:
[0033] ① Fix the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42 to assemble the two into a complete vehicle transport frame 4;
[0034] ② Lift the front end of the vehicle transport frame 4 and fix it to a suitable height of the first support column 2;
[0035] ③ The car enters from the door at the end plate 12 and stops until the vehicle transport frame 4 is fixed to it. The external forklift lifts the rear end of the vehicle transport frame 4 to a suitable height and then fixes it to the second support column 3;
[0036] ④ The second car enters from the door at the end plate 12 and stops at the base plate 14 and is fixed thereto.
[0037] When the container 1 of the utility model is unloaded from a vehicle and needs to be loaded with other goods:
[0038] ① driving out the car parked on the floor 14;
[0039] ② Unlock the connection between the second support column 3 and the vehicle transport frame 4, use a forklift to lower the rear end of the vehicle transport frame 4, and drive out the car parked on the vehicle transport frame 4;
[0040] ③ Unfasten the first support column 2 and the vehicle transport frame 4;
[0041] ④ Unlock the fixing between the front frame 41 and the rear frame 42, fold the vehicle transport frame 4 and lean the vehicle transport frame 4 against the end plate 12 to reserve cargo storage space.
[0042] In summary, the utility model sets a double-layer frame on the basis of the container 1, the lower frame uses the bottom plate 14 of the container 1 to park the car, and the upper frame is the above-mentioned transport frame 4, the support structure of the transport frame 4 is integrated with the container 1, and is in a foldable storage form; at the same time, a side door is opened on the side of the box body to facilitate the entry and exit of personnel. After the car is unloaded at the destination, the transport frame 4 can be disassembled and folded and stored at the end of the box body. At this time, the remaining space of the box body can be used to transport other goods on the return trip, thereby improving the utilization rate of the container 1 and reducing transportation costs.
