[0026] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a liquefied natural gas mobile container includes a container body 1. A support base 2 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the container body 1. A support column 3 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support base 2. The number of support columns 3 is two and they are arranged opposite to each other left and right. A lifting mechanism 4 is provided on the surface of the support column 3. A lifting platform 5 is fixedly installed on the surface of the lifting mechanism 4. A chute 6 is formed on the top surface of the lifting platform 5. A slider 7 is slidably installed on the inner wall surface of the chute 6. A moving platform 8 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the slider 7. A pulling mechanism 9 for driving the moving platform 8 to slide is provided on the surface of the support column 3.

[0027] Specifically, when it is necessary to take or store an object in the container, the support base 2 supports the container body 1. The staff stands on the surface of the moving platform 8, and the lifting mechanism 4 on the surface of the support column 3 drives the lifting platform 5 to lift, thereby driving the moving platform 8 on the top surface of the lifting platform 5 to lift. After adjusting the moving platform 8 to a suitable height, the pulling mechanism 9 drives the moving platform 8 and the slider 7 to slide left and right along the inner surface of the chute 6. Furthermore, the taking position of the staff can be adjusted according to the position of the object to be taken, and the object can be taken without frequently moving up and down the ladder. The staff can place the taken object on the surface of the lifting platform 5 for temporary storage. After driving the lifting platform 5 to descend through the lifting mechanism 4, the object can be transported to the required location, making the taking work of the staff very convenient, time-saving and labor-saving, ensuring the safety of the staff, and being conducive to improving work efficiency.

[0028] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a guardrail 10 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the moving platform 8, and the number of guardrails 10 is two and they are arranged left and right.

[0029] Specifically, during the lifting process of the moving platform 8, due to inertia, it may vibrate or shake, making the center of gravity unstable. The staff can hold the guardrail 10 tightly to maintain the overall stability, which is conducive to ensuring the safety of the staff.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a sliding door 11 is slidably installed on the front surface of the container body 1, and ventilation openings 12 are provided on the side surface of the container body 1. The number of ventilation openings 12 is several and they are evenly distributed on the side surface of the container body 1.

[0031] Specifically, the setting of the sliding door 11 facilitates the staff to take the objects inside the container body 1 by opening the sliding door 11. The setting of the ventilation openings 12 is conducive to the ventilation inside the container body 1 and ensures the safety of storage and transportation.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a lifting groove 401, which is opened on the surface of the support column 3. A motor 402 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the left support column 3. The output end of the motor 402 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 403. The threaded rod 403 is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the lifting groove 401. A sliding rod 404 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the right lifting groove 401. A lifting block 405 is slidably installed on the inner surface of the lifting groove 401. The left lifting block 405 is threadedly sleeved on the surface of the threaded rod 403, and the right lifting block 405 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod 404. The lifting platform 5 is fixedly installed between the opposite surfaces of the two lifting blocks 405.

[0033] Specifically, the rotation of the output end of the motor 402 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 403, thereby driving the lifting block 405 that is threadedly sleeved on the surface of the threaded rod 403 and slidably installed on the inner wall surface of the lifting groove 401 to slide up and down. At the same time, the right lifting block 405 slides along the surface of the sliding rod 404, thereby driving the lifting platform 5 fixedly installed on the surface of the lifting block 405 to lift, and further driving the moving platform 8 and the staff on its surface to lift, facilitating the adjustment of the taking height of the staff according to the different positions of the object, making the taking work of the staff easy and convenient.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the pulling mechanism 9 includes a support frame 901. The support frame 901 is fixedly installed on the surface of the support column 3. The number of the support frames 901 is two and they are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the support column 3. A fixing rod 902 is fixedly connected between the opposite surfaces of the support frames 901. A rotating shaft 903 is rotatably sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 902. A rope 904 is provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 903. The rope 904 is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 903 and is arranged closely against the surface of the rotating shaft 903. One end surface of the rope 904 is fixedly installed on the surface of the moving platform 8. A rope fixing head 905 is fixedly installed on the surface of the guardrail 10. The other end of the rope 904 is movably arranged relative to the rope fixing head 905.

[0035] Specifically, according to the horizontal position of the object, by pulling the ropes 904 on different sides, the ropes 904 pass through the surface of the rope fixing head 905 and slide along the surface of the rope fixing head 905, thereby driving the rotating shaft 903 to rotate along the surface of the fixing rod 902. Since the other side surface of the rope 904 is fixedly installed on the surface of the moving platform 8, pulling the rope 904 can drive the moving platform 8 and the slider 7 to slide left and right along the inner wall surface of the chute 6. When taking objects at different horizontal positions, there is no need to frequently move the ladder up and down, saving a lot of time and energy and being beneficial to the improvement of work efficiency.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the length of the part of one end of the rope 904 located above the moving platform 8 after passing through the rope fixing head 905 is greater than the moving distance of the moving platform 8.

[0037] Specifically, the length of the part of one end of the rope 904 located above the moving platform 8 after passing through the rope fixing head 905 is greater than the moving distance of the moving platform 8, so that when pulling one side of the rope 904, the rope 904 on the other side will not cause the phenomenon that the moving platform 8 cannot move due to insufficient length, leaving enough space for the movement of the moving platform 8.

[0038] In summary, when it is necessary to take or store an object in the container, the staff stands on the surface of the mobile platform 8, and the lifting mechanism 4 on the surface of the support column 3 drives the lifting platform 5 to lift, thereby driving the mobile platform 8 on the top surface of the lifting platform 5 to lift. After adjusting the mobile platform 8 to an appropriate height, the pulling mechanism 9 drives the mobile platform 8 and the slider 7 to slide left and right along the inner wall surface of the chute 6, and thus the taking position of the staff can be adjusted according to the position of the object to be taken. It is not necessary to frequently move up and down the ladder to take the item. The staff can place the taken object on the surface of the lifting platform 5 for temporary storage. After the lifting mechanism 4 drives the lifting platform 5 to descend, the object can be transported to the required location, making the taking work of the staff very convenient, time-saving and labor-saving, ensuring the safety of the staff and being conducive to improving work efficiency.

[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed. The scope of protection required by the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
