[0036] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the present application provides a bidirectional fork groove structure, which can optimize the number of parts, reduce the welding workload, avoid difficulties in welding operations caused by structural problems, and problems such as poor overall rigidity after welding deformation.

[0037] The bidirectional fork groove structure includes a first fork groove 100 and a second fork groove 200 that are both integrally formed. Specifically:

[0038] The first fork groove 100 includes two groups, which are arranged in parallel between the two groups of the first fork groove 100; two through first fork holes 105 are provided on the first fork groove 100, and the first fork holes 105 are used to place the second fork groove 200; first end reinforcing plates 101 are respectively welded at both ends of the first fork groove 100, and the first end reinforcing plates 101 are used to cooperate with the first fork groove 100 to form a fork insertion space for the forklift fork.

[0039] The second fork groove 200 includes two groups, which are arranged in parallel between the two groups of the second fork groove 200; two through second fork holes 204 are provided on the second fork groove 200, and the second fork holes 204 are used to place the first fork groove 100. The second fork groove 200 is connected by welding in the first fork hole 105 and is vertically cross - arranged with the first fork groove 100. The second fork holes 204 and the first fork holes 105 are correspondingly arranged, and the second fork holes 204 and the first fork holes 105 will communicate to form a fork - loading communication space, which is convenient for the forklift fork to fork into the inside of the first fork groove 100 or the second fork groove 200; second end reinforcing plates 201 are respectively welded at both ends of the second fork groove 200, and the second end reinforcing plates 201 are used to cooperate with the second fork groove 200 to form a fork insertion space for the forklift fork.

[0040] During installation, first weld the two first end reinforcement plates 101 to the ends of the first fork groove 100, weld the two second end reinforcement plates 201 to the ends of the second fork groove 200, then place the second fork groove 200 into the first fork hole 105, and then place the second fork hole 204 corresponding to the first fork hole 105, and finally weld the connection between the first fork groove 100 and the second fork groove 200. After the first fork groove 100 and the second fork groove 200 are welded, the two-way fork groove structure is welded under the chassis of the container.

[0041] When in use, the fork claws of the forklift fork into the bidirectional fork groove structure at the bottom of the container to be loaded and unloaded, that is, fork into the first fork groove 100 or the second fork groove 200, and then load and unload.

[0042] The first fork groove 100 includes a first bottom surface 102 and a first side surface 103. The bottom ends of the first side surface 103 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first bottom surface 102 to form a fork installation space. The first fork hole 105 is opened on the first side surface 103. Two first fork holes 105 are designed to adapt to the two groups of second fork grooves 200. The two ends of the first end reinforcement plate 101 are respectively welded between the first side surface 103. The fork entry space of the fork claw of the forklift is formed between the first end reinforcement plate 101 and the first bottom surface 102.

[0043] The second fork groove 200 includes a second bottom surface 202 and a second side surface 203. The bottom ends of the second side surface 203 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second bottom surface 202 to form a fork installation space. The second fork hole 204 is opened on the second side surface 203. Two second fork holes 204 are designed to adapt to the two groups of first fork grooves 100. The two ends of the second end reinforcement plate 201 are respectively welded between the second side surfaces 203. The fork entry space of the fork claw of the forklift is formed between the second end reinforcement plate 201 and the second bottom surface 202.

[0044] The first end reinforcement plate 101 is arranged parallel to the first bottom surface 102 and the distance between the first end reinforcement plate 101 and the first bottom surface 102 can be adjusted according to actual production needs, that is, the setting height of the first end reinforcement plate 101 between the first side surface 103 is adjustable, so that the fork entry space formed between the first end reinforcement plate 101 and the first bottom surface 102 is adapted to the fork claw of the forklift, which is convenient for the forklift to reduce shaking during the process of forking the container.

[0045] Likewise, the second end reinforcement plate 201 is arranged parallel to the second bottom surface 202 and the distance between the second end reinforcement plate 201 and the second bottom surface 202 can be adjusted according to actual production needs.

[0046] like Figure 2As shown, a middle reinforcing plate 104 is provided at the first fork hole 105. The distance between the middle reinforcing plate 104 and the first bottom surface 102 is adjustable. The middle reinforcing plate 104 can not only increase the connection strength of the first fork groove 100, but also adjust the height to fit the fork claws, ensuring the stability during the fork loading process.

[0047] One end of the first side surface 103 away from the first bottom surface 102 extends towards the other first side surface 103 to form a first bend 1031. The first bend 1031 is used to provide a welding surface and improve the strength of the first fork groove 100.

[0048] One end of the second side surface 203 away from the second bottom surface 202 extends towards the other second side surface 203 to form a second bend 2031. The second bend 2031 is used to provide a welding surface and improve the strength of the second fork groove 200.

[0049] Compared with the welding surface that bends towards the outside of the fork groove, the first bend 1031 and the second bend 2031 that bend towards the inside of the fork groove can further reduce the number of welded parts and are easy to splice and assemble.

[0050] The first fork groove 100 and the second fork groove 200 have the same height, which can make the tops of the first fork groove 100 and the second fork groove 200 directly contact the underframe of the container, ensuring flatness.

[0051] The grooving directions of the first fork groove 100 and the second fork groove 200 are arranged oppositely, which is convenient for more stable lifting of the underframe by a forklift.

[0052] A C-shaped reinforcing member (not shown in the figure) is connected at the intersection of the first fork hole 105 and the second fork hole 204. The C-shaped reinforcing member is made of C-shaped steel, which is convenient for increasing the connection strength between the first fork groove 100 and the second fork groove 200.

[0053] This application provides a container, including a box body. An underframe is provided at the bottom of the box body, and the above-mentioned double-direction fork groove structure is connected to the bottom of the underframe by welding.

[0054] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic descriptions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0055] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it is still possible to modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to equivalently replace some of the technical features thereof; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions required to be protected by the present invention.
