[0056] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the utility model. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the utility model can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the utility model, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0057] In order to thoroughly understand the present invention, a detailed description will be provided in the following description.

[0060] It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside", "outside" and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting.

[0061] The utility model provides a container.

[0062] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the utility model provides a container 100 including a first box member 10, a second box member 20 and a rivet 30, wherein the first box member 10 and the second box member 20 are at least partially fitted to be riveted. The rivet 30 is used to sequentially pass through the first box member 10 and the second box member 20, thereby realizing the connection between the first box member 10 and the second box member 20. Specifically, the rivet 30 may include a rivet sleeve 31, which may be configured as a cylindrical shape and have a tip structure 31a disposed on the outer circumference. The rivet sleeve 31 is configured such that when the inner circumference of the rivet sleeve 31 is subjected to an external force in its own radial direction, the rivet sleeve 31 can at least partially expand and deform in its own radial direction, so that the tip structure 31a is at least partially embedded in the first box member 10 and / or the second box member 20.

[0064] For example, after the installation is completed, the outer peripheral surface of the overlapping part of the rivet sleeve 31 and the first box member 10 and the second box member 20 can expand and deform along its own radial direction and is provided with a tip structure 31a. After the rivet sleeve 31 expands and deforms, the tip structure 31a is embedded in the interior of the first box member 10 and the second box member 20, thereby realizing the riveted connection.

[0065] In actual selection, the length of the rivet sleeve 31 is not less than the sum of the thicknesses of the first box member 10 and the second box member 20, for example, the length of the rivet sleeve 31 is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the first box member 10 and the second box member 20, or the length of the rivet sleeve 31 is slightly greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the first box member 10 and the second box member 20. In this way, after riveting is completed, the tail of the rivet 30 can be constructed to be flush with the second box member 20 to prevent the user from being injured by the protruding part of the rivet 30, and the tip structure 31a is embedded in the first box member 10 and the second box member 20, which can ensure the connection strength and improve the pull-out force of the rivet.

[0066] Optionally, the tip structure 31a can be configured as a common triangular thread for easy embedding. In this case, the tip structure 31a can extend along the circumference of the rivet sleeve 31 and be in a spiral form along the axial direction. Alternatively, a plurality of tip structures 31a are evenly arranged on the outer circumference of the rivet sleeve 31, and the tip structure 31a is configured as a cone. In other words, the rivet sleeve 31 is similar to the shape of a mace for easy embedding.

[0067] Continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2The rivet 30 may also include a cap body 33, which is connected to one end of the rivet sleeve 31. It is understandable that the outer circumference of the cap body 33 is larger than the outer circumference of the rivet sleeve. In the installed state, the cap body 33 can be abutted to the first box member 10 along its axial direction, and the outer circumference of the rivet sleeve 31 at least partially overlapping with the second box member 20 is provided with the aforementioned tip structure 31a. For example, the outer circumference of the rivet sleeve 31 partially overlapping with the second box member 20 is provided with a uniform tip structure 31a. After the rivet sleeve 31 is expanded and deformed, the tip structure 31a is embedded in the second box member 20, and the cap body 33 is abutted to the first box member 10, thereby realizing the connection between the first box member 10 and the second box member 20. It is understandable that the cap body 33 can be integrally formed with the rivet sleeve 31 to facilitate assembly.

[0068] Specifically, the rivet 30 further includes a stem 32 and an expansion head 34. The stem 32 is slidably connected to the cap 33 and the rivet sleeve 31 along its own axial direction. In other words, the cap 33 and the rivet sleeve 31 are sleeved on the stem 32. The expansion head 34 is connected to one end of the stem 32. The outer circumference of the expansion head 34 is greater than the inner diameter of the rivet sleeve 31 when it is not expanded and deformed. The expansion head 34 can be integrally formed with the stem 32. In actual operation, the rivet sleeve 31 is sequentially passed through the first box member 10 and the second box member 20, and the cap 33 is abutted against the first box member 10; at this time, the stem 32 is pulled to move, so that the expansion head 34 is gradually embedded in the rivet sleeve 31, so that the rivet sleeve 31 is expanded and deformed along its own radial direction, and the tip structure 31a on the outer circumference of the rivet sleeve 31 is at least partially embedded in the second box member 20. Furthermore, in order to improve the strength of the connection, the outer peripheral surface of the overlapping part of the rivet sleeve 31 and the first box member 10 and the second box member 20 is provided with a tip structure 31a, and the circumferential dimension of the expansion head 34 can be no less than the thickness of the second box member 20, thereby ensuring that the tip structure 31a remains embedded in the first box member 10 and the second box member 20.

[0069] Of course, after the rivet 30 is installed, it is necessary to avoid the rivet 30 from protruding too far outward relative to the box member (that is, the reason why the prior art assumes that the rivet 30 can generally break), so the core column 32 may include an embedded portion 321 and a detached portion 322. The expansion head 34 may be connected to one end of the embedded portion 321, and correspondingly, the detached portion 322 may be connected to the other end of the embedded portion 321. After riveting is completed, both the embedded portion 321 and the expansion head 34 are at least partially located on the inner side of the rivet sleeve. Optionally, the embedded portion 321 and the expansion head 34 may be constructed as an integral molding for easy assembly. The detached portion 322 and the embedded portion 321 can be separated under the action of an external force, or the detached portion 322 is detachably connected to the embedded portion 321, and the detached portion 322 can be removed after riveting is completed. After riveting is completed, at least the embedded portion 321 does not protrude outward from both the rivet sleeve 31 and the cap body 33. For example, the embedded portion 321 and the expansion head 34 do not protrude outward from the rivet sleeve 31 and the cap body 33 .

[0070] Preferably, the length of the rivet sleeve 31 is set to be equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the first box member 10 and the second box member 20, and the expansion head 34 does not protrude outward from the rivet sleeve 31 when the riveting is completed. In this way, after the riveting is completed, the tail of the rivet 30 is almost flush with the plate surface of the box member, avoiding damage to the goods and personnel in the box.

[0071] refer to Figures 3 to 5 The container 100 includes a box frame 50, a top plate 41, a front plate 42 and a side plate 43. The composite material plate 40 is fixedly connected to the box frame 50 by rivets 30, and at least a portion of the top plate 41, the front plate 42 and the side plate 43 of the container 100 is composed of the composite material plate 40. The first box member 10 is a member constituting the box frame 50 and the second box member 20 is a composite material plate 40. At this time, the rivet first passes through the member constituting the box frame 50 and then passes through the composite material plate 40. By using the tip structure 31a of the rivet 30, the composite material plate 40 and the rivet 30 can be embedded in each other and tightly combined, so that the composite material plate 40 is more firmly and reliably connected to the box member. Alternatively, the first box member 10 is a composite material plate 40 and the second box member 20 is a member constituting the box frame 50.

[0072] The box frame 50 is made of steel material, and includes a top side beam 51, a bottom side beam 52, a front sill 53, a front corner column 54, a rear corner column 55, a door lintel 56 and a front lintel 57. In other words, these components are components constituting the box frame 50. Figures 6 to 8, the top plate 41 is connected to at least one of the door lintel plate 56, the top side beam 51 and the front lintel plate 57 by rivets 30. The front plate 42 is connected to at least one of the front lintel plate 57, the front sill 53 and the front corner column 54 by rivets 30. The side plate 43 is connected to at least one of the top side beam 51, the bottom side beam 52, the rear corner column 55 and the front corner column 54 by rivets 30.

[0073] Continue to refer Figures 6 to 8 , the container 100 further includes a reinforcing rib 60, which is made of steel material, and the reinforcing rib 60 is fixedly connected to the composite material plate 40 by a rivet 30. The first box member 10 is the reinforcing rib 60 and the second box member 20 is the composite material plate 40. At this time, the rivet first passes through the reinforcing rib 60 and then passes through the composite material plate 40. By using the tip structure 31a of the rivet 30, the composite material plate 40 and the rivet 30 can be embedded in each other and tightly combined, so that the composite material plate 40 is more firmly and reliably connected to the reinforcing rib 60. Alternatively, the first box member 10 is the composite material plate 40 and the second box member 20 is the reinforcing rib 60. The reinforcing rib 60 includes at least one of a top plate reinforcing rib 61, a front plate reinforcing rib 62 and a side plate reinforcing rib 63. Among them, the front plate reinforcing rib 62 is connected to the front plate 42 by a rivet 30, the side plate reinforcing rib 63 is connected to the side plate 43 by a rivet 30, and the top plate reinforcing rib 61 is connected to the top plate 41 by a rivet 30.

[0074] Preferably, the top plate 41, the front plate 42 and the side plate 43 are whole plates of composite material. Furthermore, the top plate reinforcement ribs 61 are welded to the top side beams 51 on both sides of the container 100, and the top plate reinforcement ribs 61 support the composite material top plate 41 and strengthen the strength of the top plate 41. The front plate reinforcement ribs 62 are welded to the front sill 53 and the front lintel 57 of the container 100, and the front plate reinforcement ribs 62 support the composite material front plate 42 and strengthen the strength of the front plate 42. The side plate reinforcement ribs 63 are welded to the top side beams 51, the bottom side beams 52, the front corner columns 54 and the rear corner columns 55 of the container 100, and the side plate reinforcement ribs 63 support the composite material side plates 43 and strengthen the strength of the side plates 43.

[0075] According to the container 100 of the utility model, the rivet 30 is included for riveting the first box member 10 and the second box member 20. After the riveting is completed, the tip structure 31a provided on the rivet sleeve 31 is at least partially embedded in the interior of the box member, so that the pull-out force of the box member is increased and the riveting strength is improved. At the same time, the rivet 30 used in the container 100 of the utility model does not need to have the expanded part of the rivet higher than the box member after the riveting is completed, and the tail of the rivet 30 can be almost flush with the plate surface of the box member, avoiding damage to the goods and personnel in the box.
