[0049] The utility model provides a container.

[0050] See also Figure 1, the container 1 includes a box body 15, the box body 15 includes a first box body 11 and a second box body 12, along the length direction DL of the container 1, the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 are respectively provided with opposite ports, and the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 are connected through their respective ports. Specifically, top corner fittings and bottom corner fittings are provided at the ports of the first box body 11 and the ports of the second box body 12, the top corner fitting 11a of the first box body 11 is corresponding to the top corner fitting 12a of the second box body 12, and the bottom corner fitting 11b of the first box body is corresponding to the bottom corner fitting 12b of the second box body 12. Further, the container 1 also includes a connecting member 13, the connecting member 13 extends along the length direction DL of the container 1, the connecting member 13 is connected to the adjacent top corner fittings along the length direction DL of the container 1, and the connecting member 13 is connected to the adjacent bottom corner fittings along the length direction DL of the container 1. Along the width direction DW and the height direction DH of the container 1, the connecting member 13 does not protrude outward from the box body 15.

[0051] According to the container 1 of the present invention, by connecting the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 together, the capacity of the box body 15 can be expanded, so that more goods can be transported at one time, the number and time of loading and unloading of a single container 1 during transportation can be reduced, and the transportation cost is reduced.

[0052] Those skilled in the art know that the container 1 also has corner columns, top beams, and bottom beams. In order to improve the connection strength between the first box body 11 and the second box body 12, the connecting member 13 can also be connected to the corner columns, top beams, and bottom beams adjacent to each other along the length direction DL of the container 1. Figure 1 , Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the connecting member 13 is constructed as a tubular member, such as a square tube. Along the width direction DW of the container 1, there are at least two connecting members 13 spaced apart from each other. Along the height direction of the container 1, there are at least two connecting members 13 spaced apart from each other. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , along the width direction DW of the container 1, the number of connecting members 13 is two and they are spaced apart from each other, and the two ends of the connecting members 13 are respectively connected to the top corner fittings adjacent to each other along the length direction DL of the container 1. Along the height direction DH of the container 1, the number of connecting members 13 is two and they are spaced apart from each other, and the two ends of the connecting members 13 located at the top are respectively connected to the top corner fittings adjacent to each other along the length direction DL of the container 1, and the two ends of the connecting members 13 located at the bottom are respectively connected to the bottom corner fittings adjacent to each other along the length direction DL of the container 1. In an embodiment not shown, the connecting members 13 may also be configured as rod-shaped, block-shaped members, etc., which can meet the requirement of being connected to at least one of the corner fittings, corner columns, top beams, and bottom beams adjacent to each other along the length direction DL of the container 1.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to close the gaps between the adjacent connecting members 13 along the width direction DW and the height direction DH of the container 1, the container 1 further includes a closing member 14, which is located inside the box body 15. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the closing member 14 includes a first closing plate 14a and a second closing plate 14b. The first closing plate 14a is connected to the connecting member 13 adjacent to the container 1 in the width direction DW, and the second closing plate 14b is connected to the connecting member 13 adjacent to the container 1 in the height direction DH. Preferably, the closing member 14 is located on a side of the connecting member 13 close to the internal space of the box body 15.

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 3 , the second box body 12 and the first box body 11 have different sizes along the length direction DL of the container 1. For example, the container 1 is constructed as a 40-foot container, the size of one of the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 is constructed as 24 feet, and the size of the other of the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 is constructed as 16 feet. In this embodiment, the size of the first box body 11 is constructed as 16 feet, and the size of the second box body 12 is constructed as 24 feet. The first box body 11 and the second box body 12 are spliced ​​together by connecting members 13 and closing members 14 to form a 40-foot container 1. Those skilled in the art know that the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 both have floors. In order to facilitate the passage inside the box body 15, the top surface of the first closing plate 14a located at the bottom of the box body 15 is constructed to be flush with the top surface of the floor. In actual use, when the goods are transported to the destination and the container 1 needs to be used for other purposes, the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 need to be separated, so the first box body 11 and / or the second box body 12 may need to be closed so that the first box body 11 and / or the second box body 12 form an independent container. It can be understood that the container 1 also includes at least one front wall panel 12d, which is detachably connected to the inner side of the box body 15, and the front wall panel 12d is suitable for connecting to the port of the first box body 11 or the second box body 12.

[0055] That is, the first box 11 is detachably connected to the second box 12 along the length direction DL of the container 1. Preferably, the number of the front wall panels 12d is two, and when the first box 11 is connected to the second box 12, the two front wall panels 12d are respectively connected to the inner sides of the first box 11 and the second box 12. When the first box 11 is separated from the second box 12, the two front wall panels 12d are respectively connected to the ports of the first box 11 and the second box 12 to close the ports, so that the first box 11 and the second box 12 form two independent and closed accommodating spaces. It should be noted that in actual use, after the box 15 arrives at the transportation destination, if the first box 11 and the second box 12 need to be used separately, the connecting member 13 can be cut off, and then the front wall panels 12d are removed from the box 15 and installed to the first box 11 and the second box 12 respectively to close the ports. For example, the front wall plate 12d is welded to the front ends of the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 respectively, so that the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 are constructed as independent and closed accommodating spaces for easy use.

[0056] See also Figure 3 It should be noted that the first box body 11 has a first side panel 11c, and the second box body 12 has a second side panel 12c, and the first side panel 11c and the second side panel 12c both extend along the length direction DL of the container 1. The two front wall panels 12d are respectively attached to the inner walls of the first side panel 11c and the second side panel 12c. It is easy to imagine that in order to facilitate the disassembly and fixation of the front wall panel 12d relative to the box body 15, the container 1 also includes a fixing member, which is connected to the front wall panel 12d and the first side panel 11c or the second side panel 12c, so that the front wall panel 12d is fixed to the first side panel 11c or the second side panel 12c. In other words, when there is only one front wall panel 12d, the front wall panel 12d can be fixed to the inner wall of the first side panel 11c or the second side panel 12c by using the fixing member. When there are two wall panels 12d, the two front wall panels 12d can be fixed to the inner walls of the first side panel 11c and the second side panel 12c by using the fixing member.

[0057] According to the container 1 of the utility model, by setting the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 to be connected along the length direction DL of the container 1, the transportation space can be used more effectively. For example, in maritime transportation, the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 connected together can make full use of the space in the cabin, reduce the gap, and improve the space utilization rate. The first box body 11 and the second box body 12 connected to each other can be created as a mobile workstation, such as a laboratory, a control room or a workshop. This workstation can be easily moved from one place to another, which is very suitable for projects or activities that require frequent changes in work locations. In rail-water transport, the seamless connection between sea and rail transport can be achieved through the connected boxes, improving the flexibility and convenience of transportation. In other words, the container 1 disclosed in the utility model can be used for a variety of purposes and scenarios, can significantly increase the cargo capacity of a single transport unit, can reduce the number of transports, and thus reduce transportation costs.
