[0056] Herein, ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” cited in the present application are merely identifications and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order, etc. Moreover, for example, the term “first component” itself does not imply the existence of the “second component”, and the term “second component” itself does not imply the existence of the “first component”.

[0057] In order to thoroughly understand the implementation of the utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The preferred implementation of the utility model is described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the utility model can also have other implementations.

[0058] refer to Figures 1 to 8 The first aspect of the utility model provides a container top cover 100. The container top cover 100 includes a body 110, a top plate 140, a first rope 120 and a second rope 130. The body 110 has an opening 111 and a first track 112. The first track 112 is arranged at both ends of the opening 111 along the length direction D1 and extends along the width direction D2 perpendicular to the length direction D1. The top plate 140 is movably connected to the first track 112 between a closed position and an open position along the width direction D2. The top plate 140 in the closed position closes the opening 111. One end of the first rope 120 is connected to one side of the top plate 140 along the width direction D2, so as to move the top plate 140 from the closed position to the open position. One end of the second rope 130 is connected to the other side of the top plate 140 along the width direction D2, so as to move the top plate 140 from the open position to the closed position.

[0059] According to the container top cover of the utility model, the structure is simple. By using ropes to apply pulling forces to the top plate in opposite directions, the top plate is moved along the width direction to open or close the opening. The operation of opening or closing the opening is simple, and the top plate slides smoothly during the process, occupying little space and having high efficiency.

[0060] It should be noted that the length direction D1 of the container top cover 100 is parallel to the length direction D1 of the container 10 , the width direction D2 of the container top cover 100 is parallel to the width direction D2 of the container 10 , and the height direction D3 of the container top cover 100 is parallel to the height direction D3 of the container 10 .

[0061] refer to Figures 1 to 8The container top cover 100 may include a body 110 , a top plate 140 , a first rope 120 , a second rope 130 , a first pulley 150 , and a second pulley 160 .

[0062] The body 110 may include an opening 111 , a first rail 112 , a second rail 113 , a first top side beam 114 , a second top side beam 115 , a first longitudinal beam 116 , a second longitudinal beam 117 , a plate material such as a corrugated plate, and four corner pieces.

[0063] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , the first top side beam 114 and the second top side beam 115 are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction D2. The first top side beam 114 and the second top side beam 115 extend along the length direction D1. The first longitudinal beam 116 and the second longitudinal beam 117 can be arranged opposite to each other along the width direction D2 and extend along the length direction D1. The first longitudinal beam 116 and the second longitudinal beam 117 can be arranged between the first top side beam 114 and the second top side beam 115 along the width direction D2. The first longitudinal beam 116 is closer to the first top side beam 114 than the second longitudinal beam 117 along the width direction D2, and the second longitudinal beam 117 is closer to the second top side beam 115 than the first longitudinal beam 116 along the width direction D2. As a result, the structural strength of the container roof 100 is improved.

[0064] The first rails 112 are disposed at both ends of the opening 111 along the length direction D1 and extend along the width direction D2 perpendicular to the length direction D1. In some embodiments, the first longitudinal beam 116 and the second longitudinal beam 117 may be connected between the two first rails 112 along the length direction D1. The first rail 112 may be connected between the first top side beam 114 and the second longitudinal beam 117 along the width direction D2. Figure 7 The roughly rectangular frame formed by the two first rails 112, the first longitudinal beam 116 and the second longitudinal beam 117 defines the position and size of the opening 111. The opening 111 may be a full-length opening 111. In other words, the opening 111 may be roughly equal to or slightly smaller than the size of a plate such as a corrugated plate along the length direction D1. Thus, the opening 111 is relatively large, and it is more convenient to load and unload goods (such as mud, sand, aluminum powder, etc.).

[0065] Exemplarily, a dimension of the body 110 between the first top side beam 114 and the opening 111 in the width direction D2 may be greater than a dimension of the top plate 140 in the width direction D2, so that the opening 111 can be exposed when the top plate 140 is in the open position.

[0066] The second track 113 may be connected between the first top side beam 114 and the second longitudinal beam 117 along the width direction D2. At least one second track 113 is disposed between the two first tracks 112 along the length direction D1. The second track 113 is configured to have an inverted V-shaped cross section to cooperate with the groove wheel 141 of the flat plate 142 rotatably connected to the top plate 140, so that the groove wheel 141 is stably supported on the second track 113 and guides the top plate 140 to ensure that the top plate 140 is opened and closed along the correct track, and the top plate 140 moves smoothly. In some embodiments, when the top plate 140 is between the closed position and the open position along the width direction D2, the movement track of the groove wheel 141 is roughly the inverted V-shaped cross section of the second track 113 extending along the width direction D2.

[0067] The number of second rails 113 provided may be related to the size of the opening 111 in the length direction D1. For example, the larger the size of the opening 111 in the length direction D1, the more second rails 113 may be provided. In the illustrated embodiment, three second rails 113 are provided, and each second rail 113 may be matched with two groove wheels 141 spaced apart along the width direction D2.

[0068] The top plate 140 is movably connected to the first track 112 between the closed position and the open position along the width direction D2. The top plate 140 in the closed position closes the opening 111. The projection area of ​​the top plate 140 in the horizontal direction may be larger than the projection area of ​​the opening 111 in the horizontal direction, so that the top plate 140 in the closed position can completely close the opening 111, for example, to prevent rain. Specifically, the top plate 140 may include a flat plate 142 and an end beam 143. The projection area of ​​the flat plate 142 in the horizontal direction may be larger than the projection area of ​​the opening 111 in the horizontal direction. The two end beams 143 are respectively connected to the two ends of the flat plate 142 along the length direction D1, and the two end beams 143 are respectively provided with rollers 144 to cooperate with the first track 112, thereby reducing the friction force when the top plate 140 moves, so that the top plate 140 moves more smoothly, and at the same time, the top plate 140 is guided to ensure that the top plate 140 is opened and closed along the correct track, and the top plate 140 moves smoothly. In some embodiments, the first track 112 can be constructed as a roughly inverted L-shape, and when the top plate 140 is between the closed position and the open position along the width direction D2, the movement trajectory of the roller 144 is roughly the plane of the inverted L-shape along the height direction D3, which extends along the width direction D2.

[0069] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The bottom surface of the flat plate 142 of the top plate 140 can be slidably connected with a groove wheel 141. The groove wheel 141 can cooperate with the first track 112 to reduce the friction force when the top plate 140 moves, so that the top plate 140 moves more smoothly, and guides the top plate 140 to ensure that the top plate 140 opens and closes along the correct track.

[0070] For example, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The end beam 143 may include a first plate 145 extending in the horizontal direction and a second plate 146 extending in the height direction D3, the second plate 146 is fixedly connected between the two first plates 145 in the height direction D3, the roller 144 is rotatably connected to the second plate 146, and the first plate 145 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the flat plate 142. It can be understood that the end beam 143 can enhance the strength of the top plate 140, facilitate the installation of the roller 144, and can better protect the roller 144 to reduce collision damage.

[0071] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The first pulley 150 can be set on the first top side beam 114, and the first rope 120 (for example, a steel wire rope) passes over the first pulley 150 and extends downward, for example, extending to the winch 12 set on the bottom frame 11 of the container 10 described later, so that it is easier for workers standing on the platform (for example, the ground) carrying the container 10 to operate or pull the first rope 120.

[0072] The setting of the first pulley 150 can conveniently change the direction of the first rope 120 from a roughly horizontal direction to a roughly downward direction. At the same time, during the movement of the top plate 140, the friction between the first rope 120 and the body 110 can be reduced, for example, the friction between the first top side beam 114 can be reduced.

[0073] One end of the first rope 120 can be connected to one side of the top plate 140 along the width direction D2, so as to move the top plate 140 from the closed position to the open position. The one end of the first rope 120 can be roughly located in the middle of the top plate 140 along the length direction D1, and the position of the first pulley 150 along the length direction D1 can roughly correspond to the one end of the first rope 120, or the position of the first pulley 150 along the length direction D1 can roughly correspond to the middle of the top plate 140 along the length direction D1, thereby making it possible to transfer the tension applied to the first rope 120 relatively evenly to the top plate 140, saving effort while facilitating the top plate 140 to open along the correct trajectory.

[0074] The second pulley 160 can be arranged on the second top side beam 115, and the second rope 130 (for example, a steel wire rope) passes around the second pulley 160 and extends downward, for example, extending to the winch 12 described later and arranged on the bottom frame 11 of the container 10, so that it is easier for workers standing on the platform (for example, the ground) carrying the container 10 to operate or pull the second rope 130.

[0075] The setting of the second pulley 160 can easily change the direction of the second rope 130 from a roughly horizontal direction to a roughly downward direction. At the same time, during the movement of the top plate 140, the friction between the second rope 130 and the main body 110 can be reduced, for example, the friction between the second top side beam 115 can be reduced.

[0076] One end of the second rope 130 can be connected to the other side of the top plate 140 along the width direction D2, so as to move the top plate 140 from the open position to the closed position. The one end of the second rope 130 can be roughly located in the middle of the top plate 140 along the length direction D1, and the position of the second pulley 160 along the length direction D1 can roughly correspond to the one end of the second rope 130, or the position of the second pulley 160 along the length direction D1 can roughly correspond to the middle of the top plate 140 along the length direction D1, thereby making it possible to make the tension applied to the second rope 130 relatively uniformly transmitted to the top plate 140, saving effort while facilitating the top plate 140 to be closed along the correct trajectory.

[0077] The setting of the first pulley 150 can easily change the direction of the first rope 120 from a roughly horizontal direction to a roughly downward direction. At the same time, during the movement of the top plate 140, the friction between the first rope 120 and the main body 110 can be reduced, such as reducing the friction between the first top side beam 114, and the friction between the second rope 130 and the main body 110 can be reduced, such as reducing the friction between the second top side beam 115.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first top side beam 114 protrudes from the bottom end of the top plate 140 in the height direction D3. Thus, the top plate 140 will not deviate from the first track 112 when moving from the closed position to the open position. For example, when the first rope 120 is subjected to a large pulling force, the first top side beam 114 can block the top plate 140 to prevent the top plate 140 from leaving the body 110 or even falling off.

[0079] In some embodiments, the second longitudinal beam 117 may be provided with a stopper. Thus, the top plate 140 will not be separated from the first track 112 during the movement from the open position to the closed position. For example, when the second rope 130 is subjected to a large pulling force, the second longitudinal beam 117 may block the top plate 140 to prevent the top plate 140 from being separated from the first track 112, or even from the container top cover 100. It can be understood that if the top plate 140 is separated from the first track 112, the first rope 120 needs to provide a large pulling force to pull the top plate 140 from the closed position to the open position, and it is easy to cause the top plate 140 to be dislocated, friction damage, etc.

[0080] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second aspect of the present invention provides a container 10. The container 10 may include a container top cover 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention, a bottom frame 11, a winch 12, a front end (refer to Figure 8 ) and the gate end (reference Figure 2 ). The door end can be a double door structure to facilitate unloading.

[0081] The chassis 11 is located below the container top cover 100. A winch 12 can be connected to the chassis 11, and the winch 12 has a self-locking function. A first rope 120 extends downward and is connected to the winch 12. A second rope 130 extends downward and is connected to the winch 12. Thus, a user can apply force to the winch 12 from a platform (e.g., the ground) carrying the container 10, so as to apply force to the first rope 120 and the second rope 130 via the winch 12, thereby conveniently opening or closing the opening 111. Thus, there is no need for a worker to climb onto the top of the container, and the safety of opening or closing the opening 111 is high.

[0082] In some embodiments, the container 10 may further include a driving device, which may be an electric motor, and an output shaft of the electric motor may be connected to the winch 12 to drive the winch 12 to rotate.

[0083] In some embodiments, the container 10 may further include a hand crank device, which may include a handle, and the hand crank device may be connected to the winch 12 to drive the winch 12 to rotate. When necessary (for example, when the motor is damaged), the staff can stand on a platform (for example, the ground) supporting the container body to operate the hand crank device to conveniently open or close the opening 111.

[0084] The container 10 according to the second aspect of the present invention can achieve the technical effect similar to that of the container top cover 100 according to the first aspect.

[0085] It can be understood that the container 10 according to the second aspect of the present invention includes all the technical features and effects of the container top cover 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention.
